Background and objectives: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the accumulation of fatty units in the liver in the absence of other triggers. Its development may have been primarily caused by metabolic syndrome, so the purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and then to discover which parameter has the strongest link with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Methods: This cross-sectional study of 90 participants more than 18 years old with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease diagnosed by sonography in Erbil from August 2022 to May 2023. In each individual, metabolic syndrome criteria were taken and measured according to the National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III criteria, which were diagnosed by having three or more of these criteria, and ultrasound was used for the grading of fatty liver.

Results: Metabolic syndrome were revealed in 69 (76.67%) of the participants. A higher proportion of patients were female 51 (56.67%) and male 39 (43.33%). It revealed a statistically significant correlation between gender and metabolic syndrome, with females and males having a corresponding 44 (49%) and 25 (28%) correlation, respectively. The most frequent factor was an expanded waist circumference in 66 (73.33%) of participants, followed by triglyceride in 62 (68.89%).

Conclusion: In this study, among patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease significant number of the subjects had metabolic syndrome, with an increased waist circumference being the most prevalent feature, followed by high triglyceride levels, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and low high-density lipoprotein.

Background and objectives: Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic, rheumatic, inflammatory disease that basically involves axial skeleton. As a result, functional limitations develop that may negatively affect quality of life. Our aim is to assess the quality-of-life in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and to determine its’ correlation with disease variables including disease activity, functional status, spinal mobility, and bodily pain.

Methods: A cross-sectional study enrolled fifty patients with ankylosing spondylitis in the Rizgari teaching hospital was conducted between November 2022 to March 2023. Both short form-36 and ankylosing spondylitis quality of life instruments were used to evaluate Health related quality of life. Bath Disease Activity Index, Bath Functional Index, Bath Metrology Index, and total pain visual analogue scale used to assess disease related variables.

Results: fifty patients aged (20-50) years participated, their mean age was (35.4), the majority (80%) were males. The peripheral joints were involved in 42% of these patients. The mean ankylosing spondylitis quality of life score was 8.7 ± (4.6) SD, short form-36 domains of physical role limitation, general health, vitality, and bodily pain had the lowest scores (43.5, 44.6, 45.8, 50.7) respectively. both Bath disease activity index (B = 1.047; p = 0.010) and Bath functional index (B=0.974; p=0.012) were poor predictors of Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life score, while Bath Metrology Index (B = -3.444; p = 0.043) was the main predictor for physical functioning.

Conclusion: The health-related Quality of life in participants was significantly impaired. High disease activity, poor functional status and limitation in spinal mobility were recognized as poor predictors of Health-related quality of life.

Persistent neutrophilic pleocytosis syndrome is a rare form of tuberculous meningitis that is defined as the persistence of neutrophils in cerebrospinal fluid for more than 7 days, in association with the clinical features of meningitis (headache, fever, and positive meningeal signs).1 The exact pathogenesis of this syndrome is not well known yet, and it has many diverse etiologies, including infectious and noninfectious ones. among infectious ones: bacteria such as Nocardia and Actinomyces, and systemic mycoses such as Aspergillus and the zygomycetes, as well as mycobacterium.2 This entity is very rare in immunocompetent patients, and most of the cases are due to infectious causes in those who are immunocompromised. The usual scenario in such cases is initiating broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents without any improvement, therefore the diagnosis is difficult initially and often delayed. Therefore, the epidemiologic features and clinical profile may offer clues to the etiologic agent, especially in the immunocompromised host.3

Az ügetőszakág még a lóversenynek is egy speciális szelete, amely mind a szabályzat, mind a használt felszerelések, de még a lovak jellegzetességei tekintetében is eltér a ló- és lovassportok egyéb területeitől. Az ügetőpályán megforduló állatorvosok – néhány bennfentes kollégától eltekintve – nincsenek felkészülve az ügető sportra jellemző egyedi szemléletre, ami megnehezítheti a kommunikációt a tréner, a tulajdonos és az állatorvos között. A szerzők célja, hogy bemutassa az ügető lovak napi rutinjának, tréningezésének és az egész ügető sportágnak az alapjait, hogy ezzel támpontot adjon az ügető lovakat ellátó állatorvosoknak, hogy otthonosabban és rutinosabban tudjanak mozogni és tanácsot adni ebben a közegben.

Published: December 2024

Cyclophosphamide (CYP) is a widely used anticancer drug that can also induce testicular toxicity, hence male factor infertility. This adverse effect of CYP can be ameliorated by the antioxidant effect of garlic oil. This research work investigated the effects of Garlic oil (GO) on CYP-induced testicular toxicity in Adult Male Wistar rats. Thirty-six adult male Wistar rats were divided into 12 groups, each containing three (3) rats. Groups 1 and 2 were treated for 21 and 28 days respectively using 2mg/kg/BW of Normal saline. Groups 3 and 4 were treated for 21 and 28 days respectively using 90mg/kg/day of GO. Groups 5 and 6 were treated for 21 and 28days respectively with CYP (50mg/kg/wk). Groups 7 and 8 were treated for 21 and 28 days respectively with both GO (90/kg/day) and CYP (50/kg/wk). Groups 9 and 10 were treated for 21 days and 28 days respectively with GO (60mg/kg/day) and CYP (50mg/kg/wk). Groups 11 and 12 were treated for 21 and 28 days respectively using GO (30mg/kg/day) and CYP (50mg/kg/wk). The animals were sacrificed 24 hours after the last treatment by decapitation. The testes were harvested and processed for H&E staining. The values were presented as means of standard error of means (SAM). Statistical analysis was carried out using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The result showed significant (p≤0.05) decrease in the final body weight of rats treated with only CYP. Histology findings in CYP alone groups (5 and 6) were that of seminiferous tubular atrophy and differential germ cell disorganization. The result from this study also revealed a significant (p≤0.05) decrease in normal sperm morphology and significant increase in abnormal morphology in both acute and chronic administration of CYP. This study has generated data showing that CYP disrupts redox balance in testicular tissues and thereby impair testicular histology. Importantly, it has been demonstrated that GO ameliorates these harmful effects of CP on reproductive function.

The Role of Green Roofs in Mitigating Urban Heat Islands in Berlin, Germany
Authors: Vogel Matthias J.
Published: December 2024

Urban heat islands (UHIs) pose significant environmental and social challenges for cities, particularly in the context of climate change and rapid urbanization. In Berlin, green roofs have emerged as a sustainable solution to mitigate UHIs, offering benefits such as temperature regulation, stormwater management, and improved air quality. This paper explores the environmental impact of green roofs in Berlin, focusing on their ability to reduce urban temperatures and enhance microclimates. It also examines the city’s policies and incentives that promote green roof adoption, alongside successful local projects. However, challenges such as economic constraints, technical barriers, and public engagement limitations hinder widespread implementation. Comparative perspectives from cities like Singapore, Toronto, and Copenhagen provide insights into overcoming these obstacles. By adopting tailored strategies and learning from global examples, Berlin can optimize its green roof programs to address urban challenges and enhance sustainability.

Authors: Colomé Carolina  Schmitt , Zappe Jana Gonçalves
Published: December 2024

A proteção integral à saúde do recém-nascido é direito assegurado pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, sendo caracterizada como de importância fundamental para o desenvolvimento infantil. De mesmo modo, a garantia à assistência em saúde para a mãe durante a gestação e o puerpério é preconizada pelo Ministério da Saúde. Assim, quando uma doença como a toxoplasmose se faz presente nesse contexto, destaca-se a importância da efetivação das políticas públicas existentes, a fim de que as melhores condições para o desenvolvimento da criança possam ser asseguradas. Em vista disso, a partir da ocorrência recente de um surto de toxoplasmose em uma cidade no interior do Rio Grande do Sul, o qual atingiu um grande número de gestantes, o presente trabalho apresenta os resultados referentes à percepção de 5 mães afetadas em relação à responsabilização pelo surto e à assistência em saúde nesse contexto. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, as quais foram analisadas pela técnica de análise de conteúdo. A partir dos depoimentos, é possível perceber uma grande mobilização por parte das mães no que se refere à causa da contaminação, bem como à demanda de que a responsabilidade pelo surto seja assumida. Ainda, relatam deficiências na qualidade da assistência em saúde oferecida, tanto no âmbito da atenção primária como da terciária, enfatizando a importância da presença de profissionais que ofereçam uma escuta ética e sensível, o que aponta para a relevância do apoio psicológico. Espera-se, dessa forma, que este estudo possa contribuir para a elaboração de estratégias de acolhimento para esse público. Frente a fenômenos como um surto de toxoplasmose, é imprescindível que cada família atingida possa ser compreendida na sua singularidade e que cada mãe e bebê contaminados possam receber a assistência necessária, seja de ordem física ou emocional.

Mangifera indica L. leaf assisted biosynthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles and their antifungal activity against plant pathogen Aspergillus niger Tiegh.
Authors: Mumtaz Afsah , Ahmed Shakil
Published: December 2024

The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles is an emerging field in nanotechnology. There are several different methods to prepare silver nanoparticles depending upon their uses such as in the pharmaceutical and textile industries, and the field of medicine. One of the most important applications of silver nanoparticles is their antifungal activity against different plant pathogenic fungi. In this study, a cost-effective and environment-friendly method was used to synthesize silver nanoparticles using leaf extract of different varieties of Mangifera indica L. The varieties used in this study were Fajri, Malta, Sinduri, Sufaid Chaunsa, and Langra. The aqueous extract of the leaves of mango acted as reducing and stabilizing agents for the silver nanoparticles. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by the UV-Vis spectroscopy in which a surface plasmon resonance peak within the range of 448-454 nm was observed. FTIR analysis was also performed which showed the bands between 3738 cm-1 to 432 cm-1 which confirmed the presence of different chemical groups. Silver nanoparticles were further characterized by the scanning electron microscopy which revealed the sizes of the nanoparticles within the range of 12-235 nm. After characterization, the antifungal activity of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles was evaluated. From the results, it was concluded that all the varieties showed a greater inhibitory effect at the concentration of 100 mg/L, but it was observed that silver nanoparticles prepared by the leaf extract of cv. Fajri exhibited a greater inhibitory effect against Aspergillus niger having a percent inhibition of 79.8%.
A REPRESENTAÇÃO DA IMAGEM SIMBÓLICA DOS MITOS INDÍGENAS NAS LENDAS BRASILEIRAS
Authors: Maganini Andressa Dias , Souza Sarah Vasconcellos , Hata Luli
Published: December 2024

The project focuses on investigating the consolidation of symbolic images of indigenous mythology in Brazilian legends, especially those that were massively published in books aimed at children. In particular, the characters Curupira and Iara, widely publicized as derived from indigenous culture and known to the public, were the characters chosen for this attack. The objective was to verify whether these characters actually belong to indigenous mythology and, later, whether the visual record corresponds to the image present in the myth. Once the analysis was done, the next stage consisted of creating drawings and paintings that do justice to the indigenous perspective, accompanied by literary texts. The myths recorded in four volumes of the collection Folk Literature of South American Indians, published by the UCLA Latin American Center (University of California) and some copies of books by indigenous authors were read. In the myths analyzed, there was no characterization of a character that corresponds to Curupira. However, in relation to aquatic beings, it appears that this is a recurring theme among different peoples, such as the Shavante, Cayapo, Yanomami, Munduruku and Tupinambá. For this reason, the research results focus on the female figure of the water being Yawarioma, from Yanomami mythology. The image was chosen due to its comparison with Iara, the mermaid of the Amazon rivers. The research ends with the production of educational material about the beings of the Yanomami waters, in literary and artistic creation.
INTRODUÇÃO AO ESTUDO HISTORIOGRÁFICO DO FASCISMO: CRÍTICA AO PONTO DE VISTA MARXISTA E À “TEORIA GERAL DO FASCISMO”
Authors: Feitosa Julio César Puro , Furlan Lucas Ferreira
Published: December 2024

This work provides an introductory analysis of the fascist phenomenon through a detailed historiographical study, with a special focus on comparing the “Marxist” perspective and the “general theory of fascism.” The relevance of this study is particularly evident in the current context, where the term “fascism” is often used in an imprecise and sometimes biased manner to discredit political opponents. This incorrect and occasionally political usage contributes to a vague and variable definition of the fascist phenomenon. The work seeks to define fascism based on the main dominant interpretative currents, examining the limitations and weaknesses of these analyses. Additionally, the research proposes a more robust and precise conceptualization of fascism, grounded in a rigorous historiographical approach aimed at providing a clearer and more well-founded understanding of the phenomenon. This approach intends to contribute to a more informed and less polarized debate about fascism.

Policy areas such as the single market, economic and monetary union, European asylum and refugee policy are contextualised in a global dimension alongside categories such as popular sovereignty, nation and democracy.
Was wahr ist
Authors: Emcke Carolin
Published: December 2024

Ein Plädoyer für die Ethik des Erzählens und das Denken in Utopien Wie lässt sich von Gewalt erzählen? Wie lässt sich von Erfahrungen erzählen, die alle moralischen Erwartungen, was Menschen einander antun können, außer Kraft setzen? Mit welcher Behutsamkeit, welcher Diskretion und welcher Empathie muss nach einer Sprache gesucht werden im Kontext von Krieg und Gewalt? Carolin Emcke fragt nach der Ethik des Erzählens trotz allem. Für sie ist die Suche nach dem, was wahr ist, immer eine, die auch die eigene Rolle befragt. Wer über Gewalt und Trauma schreibt, muss auch über das schreiben, was als normativer Kern unangetastet bleibt: die menschliche Würde. Wer schreiberisch über das nachdenkt, was wahr ist, wer dabei vor allem über Gewalt nachdenkt und wie sie Menschen versehrt, muss auch über die Gewalt der Klimakrise sprechen: Welche Rolle spielt faktuales Erzählen beim Erzählen von Klimadiskursen? Für Emcke muss sich die Suche nach der Wahrheit im Angesicht der Klimakatastrophe in verschiedene Richtungen aufmachen. Nach rückwärts: Was ist geschehen und wer ist dafür verantwortlich? Aber auch nach vorwärts: Diese Suche nach der Wahrheit im Kontext der Klimakrise muss auch zeigen, was sein wird, sie muss Möglichkeitsräume öffnen und kartographieren. »Was wahr ist« ist ein Plädoyer für die Ethik des Erzählens und das Denken in Utopien.
Die Kunst der Resignation

Published: December 2024

Die Entwicklung der Denkmotive des Heidegger-Schülers Karl Löwith über Friedrich Nietzsche und Jacob Burckhardt zu einer »Kunst der Resignation« auf Grundlage seiner Italien-Briefe Karl Löwith (1897–1973) war als deutsch-jüdischer Philosoph der erste Schüler Martin Heideggers. Im japanischen und amerikanischen Exil entfaltete er eine kritische Philosophie der Geschichte. Deren Grundlage bildet die frühe Kunst der Resignation, die Löwith in Auseinandersetzung mit Nietzsche und Jacob Burckhardt vor allem während seiner Italien-Aufenthalte entwickelte. Entlang von dreizehn meist erstmals publizierten Briefen von 1924 bis 1936 lässt sich zeigen, wie der junge Löwith nach der italienischen Kriegsgefangenschaft sich zuerst am Denken Martin Heideggers orientiert, dem er nach seiner Promotion zu Nietzsche von Freiburg nach Marburg folgt. Es folgt ein Jahr der Selbstfindung in Italien, das Löwith auf den Spuren Jacob Burckhardts der rasenden Moderne in eine geschichtliche Kontemplation und kunstreiche Resignation entfliehen lässt. Die Abgrenzung von Martin Heidegger geschieht über Reflexionen zum Individuum, das im Mitmenschen sein Gegenüber sucht. Als Dozent in Marburg vertieft Löwith seine anthropologischen Studien. 1934 nutzt er ein Stipendium und entzieht sich dem politischen Druck nochmals nach Italien. In Rom spiegelt er seine skeptische Haltung in zwei großen Porträts von Nietzsche und Burckhardt, bis er Europa Ende 1936 verlässt.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution has been found to be toxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, teratogenic, and immunotoxicogenic. Naphthalene, Anthracene, and Fluorene are among the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are frequently detected in wastewater from biomass gasification and refineries. In this study, industrial waste water samples were collected from three sites located in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt and showed presence of PAHs in different concentration varying from 0.42 to 253.1 ppb. This study's findings included the isolation and identification of Enterobacter asburiae the most proficient bacterial isolate capable of biodegrading PAHs among other 7 studied bacterial isolates. Enterobacter asburiae strain No. 1 showed the ability to biologically degrade approximately 79 %, 89.7 % and 82.8 % of Naphthalene, Fluorene and Anthracene active ingredients respectively. The results of toxicity assessment showed that PAHs byproducts after 14 days of incubation had no toxicity; consequently, there was no antibacterial activity detected against B. subtilis as a test organism. Such biological approaches used in this study can be further applied in various polluted sites to get rid of ubiquitous organic pollutants.

For the first time was researched the dynamic models of the data defensive system (DMDDS) in social networks (SN) from the volumes of development of social networks (VSNE) were investigated and the reliability of the data defensive system (RDDS), which indicates the academic achievements of this work.
Created DMDDS in CN from the conditions of RDDS. In the DMDDS, currently known opportunities, actions and technologies are involved, for which the modality of uncertainty is confirmed as a state of a defined condition on a time grid, and this relationship interprets the transformation of the previous state over time.
SN is a set of actors and their types of communications. Actors can be people themselves, their subgroups, associations, settlements, territories, continents. The form of interaction includes not only the transmission and reception of information, but also communication, exchange of opportunities and types of activities, including controversial points and views.
From the point of view of mathematics, a prototype of the DMDDS was developed on the basis of nonlinear differential equations (NDE) and its transcendental review was carried out. Transcendental review of dynamic models of DMSDD in SN proved that parameters of VSNE significantly influence data defensives (DD) at possible value values - up to one hundred percent.
The phase types (PT) of DD have been checked, which prove RDDS in the working volume of values even at the maximum values of negative excitations.
For the first time the research of the developed NDE systems was conducted and the quantitative values between the VSNE parameters and the DD values, as well as the RDDS, were shown, which indicates the theoretical and practical value of the scientific work and its significance for the further development of scientific research in the field of SN.
The proposed model will contribute to increasing the quality and reliability of DD in SN around the world.

In the communication model of the OSI layer, the Media access control (MAC) layer has been given higher priority than other layers. It is a sub-layer of the data link layer, mainly controlling the physical equipment and interacting with the channels over the Internet of Things (IoT) sensor nodes. Mac layers have used two protocol types: contention-based and contention-free during transmission. These two protocols have controlled the physical equipment and data transmission for the last decade. Yet in the MAC layers transmission, some challenging issues are complicated to resolve. Data collisions are the significant changing issues at the MAC layer. As per the survey of researchers, the contention-based protocol is more affected by collision due to allowing the sharing of channels to all nodes over networks. As a result, it has got message delay, demanding more energy, data loss, and retransmission. The researcher always focuses on reducing collision during transmission to overcome these issues. They mainly evaluate the priority-based collision control using the contention-based protocol. In this ANTMAC model, we have considered the lower energy nodes’ priority to enhance the likelihood that a node will gain access to the transmission channel before its power and batteries run out. Our recommended method ANTMAC outperforms ECM-MAC in terms of content retrieval time (CRT), total no of retransmission (TNR), total energy consumption (TEcm), throughput and network lifetime (NLT).

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which provide sensing capabilities to Internet of Things (IoT) equipment with limited energy resources, are made up of specialized transducers. Since substitution or re-energizing of batteries in sensor hubs is extremely difficult, power utilization becomes one of the pivotalmattersin WSN. Clustering calculation assumes a significant part in power management for the energy-compelled network. Optimal cluster head selection suitably adjusts the load in the sensor network, thereby reduces the energy consumption and elongates the lifetime of assisted sensors. This article centers around to an appropriate load balancing and routing technique by the utilization recently developed of Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO) algorithm that alternates the cluster location amongst nodes with the highest energy. The Scheme considered various parameter residual energy, initial energy and an optimum number of cluster head for the next cluster heads selection. The proposed model increases the lifetime of the network by keeping more nodes active even after the 2700th round. The experiment results of the trials show that the proposed EHO-based CH selection strategy outperforms the cutting-edge CH selection models.
