Published: November 2023

Bio-mediated nanoparticle synthesis is a ‘green’ environmental friendly process. The present study investigates bio-synthesis of silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) and Ferrous Oxide (FeO) nanoparticles using leaf extract of Marsilea quadrifolia, a noxious weed in rice fields worldwide. Optimal synthesis of AgNPs and FeONPs with desirable concentrations of Silver Nitrate and Ferrous Nitrate and different quantities of the plant extract was investigated under room temperature. Characterization of NPs was carried out using ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, (SEM) Scanning Electron Microscope. To determine the appropriate concentrations for AgNPs and FeONPs synthesis, different dilution series of Silver Nitrate and Ferrous Nitrate were reacted with M. quadrifolia leaf extract at 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 ratios respectively, under room temperature condition. For the extraction, 8g of M. quadrifolia dried leaf samples were used and extraction was done by using deionized water. The results showed that plant extract and salt mixed ratios have a significant effect on yield of synthesized AgNPs and FeONPs. The best ratio of plant extract and AgNO3 is 1:1 to optimize the production of AgNPs. The temperature range 60-80oC promotes higher AgNPs production comparative to the room temperature. Similar observations were recorded with FeONPs. M. diplotricha leaf extract is an effective source for AgNPs and FeONPs production.

Authors: Zhang Shuyun , Zheng Shumin , Cai Huizhen , Hong Xiangling , Zhang Hao , He Jinshui
Published: November 2023

Objectives: In this study, we investigated the impact of neonatal nosocomial infections on health behavior intentions using a multivariate analysis and deep learning approach within the framework of informationized health management. Methods: We analyzed the data of 155
neonates in our hospital from May 2019 to May 2020. The infected newborns were divided into an experimental and a control group, infection risk factors and their impact on health behavioral intentions were explored, and neonates were given informationized health management based on deep learning.
Results: We have analyzed risk factors, infected parts of the respondents, adverse events before and after the intervention of the experimental group, and Apgar scores before and after the intervention of the experimental group. The parts of neonatal nosocomial infection were mainly
in the respiratory, urinary, and digestive tracts which significantly impacted the formulation of health behaviors. The adverse events in the experimental group after the intervention was significantly lower than before (p < .05). Meanwhile, the mean Apgar score of the experimental group
after the intervention was significantly higher than before (p < .001). Conclusion: Many high-risk factors for neonatal nosocomial infections significantly impact health behavior. Adopting informationized health management based on deep learning can reduce infection and improve neonates′
health.

Published: November 2023

Objectives: In this study, we assessed the impact of social media use on the mental health of a sample of adults in Saudi Arabia. Methods: Using multi-stage cluster random sampling of staff from 12 schools and their families, we administered a cross-sectional survey to
adults in Buraidah, Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire included demographics, social media use patterns, and anxiety and depression scales. We used a 2-step cluster analysis used to classify participants according to their social media use, resulting in 2 categories ‐ high use and low
use. Our statistical analysis included independent sample t-tests and multiple linear regression. Results: A total of 574 participants were enrolled with a mean (SD) age of 34.33 (10.61) years; 324 (56.4%) were women. Those with high social media use had significantly increased
depression (adjusted mean difference = 3.88, 95% CI 2.99-4.78, p < .001) and anxiety (3.605, 95% CI 2.8-4.4, p < .001) scores compared to the low use group. Patterns of social media use showed a weak to moderate correlation with depression and anxiety (p < .001).
Conclusion: Adults with problematic and high use of social media have higher reported symptoms of depression and anxiety. Certain patterns of social media use have a negative impact on mental health and increase risk of depression and anxiety.

Authors: Ma Yue’e , Cai Mengqian , Chen Qingmei , Jiang Diandian , Yang Zhenjiao , Cui Miaoling
Published: November 2023

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to understand the real psychological experience of the first pulmonary function test (PFT) of elderly patients with poor cooperation, provide a reference for reporting their psychological characteristics and needs, and offer suggestions for
developing appropriate guidance strategies to improve cooperation and compliance of patients. Methods: We used a phenomenological approach. We selected 21 elderly patients with poor cooperation who underwent PFT in a Tertiary Grade A comprehensive hospital in Nanning from December 2021
to June 2022 for a semi-structured interview using an objective sampling method. We used the Colaizzi analysis method to collate and analyze the data. Results: We extracted 6 distinct psychological experiences of elderly patients with poor cooperation in the first PFT, including distrust,
tension and worry, the desire to understand PFT-related information, high psychological sensitivity, frustration and positive self-adjustment, and negative self-perception of aging. According to participants′ own explanation, most of the psychological experience was mainly related to
the lack of understanding of PFT related knowledge, which was greatly affected by the way of information acquisition and the allocation of PFT resources. In addition, elderly patients also revealed that unfamiliarity with their own disease history and physical status affected their psychological
enthusiasm during the examination. Conclusions: Elderly patients who failed to cooperate during the first PFT have complex psychological states and a wide range of psychological needs. In clinical practice, medical staff should focus on patients, thoroughly investigate the psychological
experiences of elderly patients undergoing PFT and implement corresponding measures to encourage elderly patients′ cooperation and improve examination compliance.

Characteristics of temperature-dependent shear flow in an ultrasonicated ferrofluid
Authors: Ibiyemi Abideen A.
Published: November 2023

The rheological effect of manganese zinc (Mn-Zn) ferrite ferrofluid was studied and the impact of temperature on the magnetoviscosity and viscoelastic system of manganese-zinc ferrite ferrofluid generated by co-precipitation process is investigated. At 25 ◦C, a ferrofluid structure that is both hard and elastic is produced. As the temperature rises, the fluid structure loses its elasticity and becomes semi-rigid. When a low relaxation modulus is applied, the fluid behavior, which is temperature-dependent, exhibits the development of linear stress relaxation and steady state flow. When a greater relaxation modulus is used, non-steady state flow results. At a high temperature of 50 ◦C, steady state flow is quickly obtained, whereas at a low temperature, equilibrium or steady state is attained more slowly. At low temperatures, the fluid exhibits a solid-like structure, whereas at high temperatures, a liquid-like structure forms as the fluid’s viscosity decreases. With the creation of yield stress in the region with high shear rates, shear stress increases with temperature, and yield stress increases with temperature. The viscoelastic system is underdamped, and the amount of fluid deflected at 25 ◦C is small, which prevents the disruption of the fluid’s rheology. This develops as a result of the presence of a small deflection angle, which facilitates the development of high magnetoviscosity at low temperature. High viscous effect forms at low temperatures due to the creation of low shear stress and low deflection angle at temperature 25 ◦C. The sample has a single phase and FCC structure, which X-ray diffraction research has verified.

On The Footprints Of An Undefeated General
Authors: Mardaleishvili Tatia , Kokhreidze Elene
Published: November 2023

The development of correct personal values is of great importance in human life. The mission of the Cadets Military Lyceum named after General Giorgi Kvinitadze is to bring up a free-thinking person with national and democratic values. The Lyceum aims to give the cadets basic military knowledge and skills, instill love and respect for military service in them, a desire for mastering a military profession, civic consciousness based on liberal-democratic values and respect for cultural values. To achieve these goals along with other activities, well-planned educational excursions and educational programs play a great role. We think that studying the heroic historical past of Georgia and the life and work of heroic ancestors will help the cadets to understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens of Georgia.

A personal example gives a lot to a young person, who is formed right in front of us and develops those qualities, which are vitally necessary and represent the basis for the right life decision. In order to achieve this goal we planned and implemented the project with the support of the Lyceum Directorate; “On The Footsteps Of An Undefeated General”, dedicated to the life and work of General Giorgi Mazniashvili.
An Advantage Of Teaching Military Collocations In Military Classes
Authors: Sabanashvili Megi
Published: November 2023

Since the early 1960s English for specific purposes (ESP) has rapidly developed and has taken a major part in English language instruction and research. It refers to the teaching and learning of English where the learners’ aim is to use English in a specific domain. The purpose of ESP in a military context is to help students become communicatively competent in a military environment. The present study demonstrates an empirical research of explicit corpus-aided military collocation instruction and raises their importance in English language acquisition for military specialty students.

A 20 - week intensive instruction of collocations was given to the military students learning English at the language training school in the Training and Military Education Command in Georgia. The pre-, mid-, and posttests on collocation competency as well as the questionnaire were administered to the participants during the experiment. The data were collected and analyzed with qualitative and quantitative research methods. The results from the tests and questionnaire collaboratively prove that the corpus-based collocation instruction is more effective for pre- intermediate / intermediate level military students. The findings have pedagogical implications for EFL teachers and students. The study recommends the teachers play a more active role in raising their students’ military collocation awareness through appropriate guidance.
Factors for Pricing Decision of Food Products in Mbeya City, Tanzania
Authors: Mwidege Asheri M.
Published: November 2023

This study examined factors in the pricing decision of food products in Mbeya City. It employed non- experimental research design where every participant had an equal chance of being selected in which a sample of 100 food vendors through a cross-sectional time dimension was collected using questionnaires at Mwanjelwa, SIDO, and Soweto markets in Mbeya City. Multiple regression techniques were employed in data analysis using both SPSS and STATA packages. Variable inflationary factors and link tests were used to predict multi-collinearity and model specification. Findings showed that dependents of food dealers were inversely correlated with the pricing of food products. Furthermore, the income level of customers was inversely related to the price of food products while the type of customers and customer beliefs were both positively related to the price of food. Study concluded that vendors’ dependents, income level of customers, type of customers, and customer beliefs on food vending services influence the pricing decision of food products. It is, therefore, recommended that local government authorities should empower food dealers on pricing decision of food products and services.

Published: November 2023

Background: Basically, human backbone or spinal column is of a chain of bones also known as vertebrae. Spinal cord runs through the spinal column. Lumbar discectomy is a type of surgery to fix a disc in the lower back portion of human body. This surgery uses smaller cuts (incisions) than an open lumbar discectomy. We have very few proved data regarding the effectiveness of discectomy surgery on prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc.

Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to assess the role of discectomy surgery on prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc.

Methods: This was a prospective observational study which was conducted at the Department of Orthopedics Surgery in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from January 2017 to December 2017. In total 38 patients with low back pain selected for discectomy surgery on prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc were enrolled as the study population. This study was approved by the ethical committee of the mentioned hospital. Proper written consents were taken from all the participants before starting data collection. A pre-designed questionnaire was used in patent data collection. Radicular pain was observed by visual analogue score and disability status was done by using Oswestry disability index. By using modified Macnab criteria, outcome of the surgery was determined. All data were processed, analyzed and disseminated by MS Office and SPSS version as per need.

Result: In our study as postoperative complication dural tear, superficial wound infection and foot drop were observed in 57.14% (Highest), 28.57% and 14.29% (Lowest) participants respectively. In analyzing radicular pain among the participants, we observed that VAS score had been reduced to 1.6±1.2 from 7.2±5.4 within one year of surgery which was 2.7±1.3 at immediate postoperative period. On the other hand, in analyzing Disability status among the participants we observed that, ODI index had been reduced to 10±1 from 64±8 within one year of surgery which was 17±6 at immediate postoperative period. According to the Modified Macnab Criteria in analyzing the final outcome among the participants we observed 52.63%, 39.47%, 5.26% and 2.63% participants got ‘Excellent’ (Highest), ‘Good’, ‘Fair’ and ‘Poor’ (Lowest) results respectively.

Conclusion: In terms of reduction of pain, complication and disability scores it was noted that, in the surgery of prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc the surgical outcome after one year period of discectomy is quite satisfactory. Considering the cost effectiveness and short treatment duration this surgical method may consider as the choice of method for treating patients with prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc.

Our study aimed to analyze dengue cases and deaths, focusing on gender and age trends. Data from healthcare sources were retrospectively examined, revealing a 61% male to 39% female ratio in cases. Deaths, however, showed a 43% male to 57% female ratio. The 31-60 age group was most affected, constituting 48% of deaths, with 82% occurring within 1-3 days of hospitalization. Notably, the Case Fatality Rate was higher in females (0.71%) than males (0.34%). Serotyping of 445 samples indicated DENV-2 (65.6%) as the predominant serotype. Our findings stress the need for targeted interventions, considering gender and age disparities, and prompt care for Dengue Shock Syndrome.

This research aims to investigate how Icelandic companies define brand success and measure their progress towards achieving it. The research explores the potential influence of Iceland’s unique economic, cultural, and social factors on Icelandic businesses’ branding strategies and practices. By examining Icelandic companies’ branding strategies and success evaluation methodologies, this research seeks to uncover broader implications for brand management and strategy. The research adopts a qualitative research approach, utilizing interviews with managers working in five Icelandic companies as the primary data collection method. These managers were interviewed to gain insights into their perspectives on brand success and progress measurement. The data obtained from the interviews was analyzed using the qualitative data analysis software MAXQDA. The findings of this research provide valuable insights into how Icelandic companies conceptualize and define brand success and the factors they consider in this definition. Additionally, the research explores how companies measure customer satisfaction and the role of satisfaction in assessing brand success. It also investigates how Icelandic companies differentiate themselves from competitors and the methods used to measure this differentiation. Findings from the research reveal diverse company characteristics, industry-specific dynamics, and success factors. Brand success is defined by brands that have effective marketing strategies, high quality, reliable, and trustworthy products, good brand perception and customer feedback, are trustworthy and provide unique selling propositions. Companies use various metrics and key performance indicators to measure brand success, including measuring brand awareness, reputation, customer loyalty, satisfaction, revenue growth, market share, and brand equity. They also employ methods such as NPS surveys (Net Promoter Score), loyalty programs, customer satisfaction services, and feedback collection to measure customer satisfaction and evaluate brand success. Brands achieved differentiation from competitors through brand perception, reputation, customer relationships, safety measures, compliance, social and environmental practices, pricing models, service quality, industry expertise, certifications, awards, and client feedback to differentiate themselves. By focusing on Icelandic companies, this research contributes to the understanding of branding strategies and success evaluation methodologies within a unique business context.
Aspek Praktis Konsep Pelayanan Inkarnasional:
Authors: Marselina Grace Kelly
Published: November 2023

Berdasarkan keyakinan akan inkarnasi Kristus yang menjadi jalan untuk mem-perkenalkan diri lebih dekat dengan umat ciptaan-Nya, beberapa teolog, misiolog, dan praktisi misi mengembangkan konsep dan model pelayanan inkarnasional. Konsep pelayanan inkarnasional ini relevan untuk pengembangan pelayanan misi lintas budaya, termasuk misi perkotaan. Namun, konsep pelayanan inkarnasional ini tidak lepas dari perdebatan pro dan kontra. Melampaui apa yang disampaikan oleh para pengkritik konsep pelayanan inkarnasional yang lain, kritik-kritik J. Todd Billings solid, jelas, dan terarah. Ia menyampaikan keberatan-keberatannya yang mencakup beberapa aspek penting yang terdapat dalam konsep pelayanan inkarnasional, yaitu aspek biblis, teologis, dan praktis. Khusus dalam aspek praktis konsep pelayanan inkarnasional, Billings berpendapat bahwa pelayanan inkarnasional tidak dapat dijadikan model pelayanan yang tepat karena sisi abstraknya (abstract pattern). Konsep pelayanan inkarnasional menjadi abstrak karena model pelayanan ini dinilai tidak relevan dan efektif dalam mewujudkan pelayanan yang berpusat kepada Kristus. Khususnya di dalam ranah kontekstualisasi, pelayanan inkarnasional tidak serta-merta dapat digunakan sebagai model pelayanan yang tepat bagi para misionaris di dalam pelayanan lintas budaya. Billings menganggap konsep union with Christ lebih tepat digunakan sebagai model pelayanan karena Allah telah menyatakan diri-Nya secara khusus dan unik melalui ketaatan seorang Hamba, Yesus Kristus. Kerendahan hati Kristus merupakan model konkret yang dapat diterapkan sebagai gaya hidup dan pelayanan. Melalui penelitian yang lebih saksama terhadap aspek Christo-praxis dalam konsep pelayanan inkarnasional dan menyandingkannya dengan kritik Billings terhadapnya, saya menemukan bahwa di satu sisi kritik Billings tidak memiliki dasar yang kuat, tetapi di sisi yang lain konsep ministry in union with Christ yang diajukan oleh Billings tidak harus beroposisi atau menggantikan konsep pelayanan inkarnasional. Sebaliknya, konsep ministry in union with Christ yang diajukan oleh Billings bisa menjadi pelengkap konstruktif bagi pengembangan model pelayanan inkarnasional.
Deus Migrator dan Komunitas Diaspora:
Authors: Jonathan Wijaya
Published: November 2023

Migrasi adalah hal yang tidak dapat dielakkan saat ini. Menurut statistik, jumlah migran orang Kristen adalah 106 juta jiwa, atau 49% dari jumlah migran internasional dunia yang berjumlah 214 juta jiwa. Kemudian, Islam merupakan bagian terbesar kedua dari orang-orang yang telah bermigrasi melintasi perbatasan yaitu hampir 60 juta, atau 27%. Sedangkan Hindu (hampir 11 juta) menyumbang 5% dan Buddha (sekitar 7 juta) menyumbang 3% (pewresearch.org).  Bagaimanakah seorang Kristen dapat memaknainya? Dan bagaimana seharusnya orang Kristen meresponsnya? Melalui tulisan ini, penulis berpendapat bahwa Allah adalah Migrator Agung yang disebut Deus Migrator yang memanggil umat-Nya untuk menjadi representasi Allah di dalam dunia dalam wujud komunitas diaspora yang menjalankan Amanat Agung dari Tuhan. Untuk mencapai hal tersebut, pertama penulis menjelaskan dasar Alkitab mengenai Deus Migrator dari Peter C. Phan, baik dalam PL dan PB. Kemudian, penulis memaparkan komunitas diaspora dari Enoch Wan. Terakhir, penulis akan memberikan analisis dan kesimpulan bahwa misi tidak selalu pergi ke suatu tempat, tetapi dengan menerima migran di tempat kita masing-masing; misi tidak hanya berkaitan dengan dunia yang akan datang, tetapi berkaitan juga dengan dunia saat ini; dan migran bukan objek yang harus dipaksa menjadi Kristen.

DÎVÂNU LUGÂTİ’T-TÜRK’TE ESKİ TÜRK İNANÇLARI VE BUDİST UYGURLARA KARŞI KAŞGARLI MAHMUD’UN YAKLAŞIMI ÜZERİNE
Authors: YILMAZ Onur
Published: November 2023

Dîvânu Lugâti’t-Türk, Kaşgarlı Mahmud tarafından Türklerin İslam medeniyeti dairesine girdiği bir dönemde yazılan Türk dilinin ilk sözlük çalışmasıdır. Eserde açıklanan binlerce kelimeden hareketle Türklerin yaşayışlarını, yemeklerini, ilişkilerini, inanışlarını, ekonomik faaliyetlerini kısacası toplumsal ve kültürel yapısını gözler önüne seren önemli bir birikimin varlığı kabul edilmektedir. Bu yönüyle Dîvânu Lugâti’t-Türk, bir dil çalışması olmasının ötesinde içerisinde yer alan bilgilerle birçok disipline kaynaklık eden bir “hazine” niteliği taşımaktadır. Kaşgarlı Mahmud eserinde kelimelerin anlamlarını açıklarken atasözlerinden, efsanelerden ve şiirlerden yararlanmıştır. Açıklamalardan hareketle eserin yazıldığı dönemin kültürel, dinî ve siyasi yaşamı hakkında bilgi edinilebilmekte, Kaşgarlı’nın bu konulardaki yaklaşımları yorumlanabilmektedir. Birçok araştırmacı eserdeki açıklamalardan yola çıkarak Kaşgarlı Mahmud’u İslamî bilgiye sahip iyi bir Müslüman olarak tarif etmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra eserdeki birçok ifadede Türklerin eski dinî inançlarının varlığı da yansıtılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Dîvânu Lûgati’t-Türk’te yer alan Uygurlarla ilgili dinî ifadeleri eski Türk inançlarıyla da karşılaştırarak dönemin siyasi ve dinî meseleleriyle tartışarak değerlendirmeyi ve mevcut bakış açılarına farklı bir pencereden yaklaşım göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Coherence, coordination and complementarity? Multi-track mediation and quality peace agreements
Authors: Zahar Marie-Joëlle
Published: November 2023

The complexity of contemporary conflicts and the profusion of mediation actors create new challenges for mediation actors. As multi-track mediation becomes the norm, effective mediation efforts and sustainable peace agreements necessitate coherence and coordination as recognized in the UN Guidance on Effective Mediation. This brief proposes three concrete measures that mediation actors can take to improve coherence and coordination. Relatively common in peacebuilding settings, the first two measures constitute exceptions to common practice in the mediation world. The third measure, when adopted, has not yielded particularly positive results. The brief suggests that the measures, while insufficient when taken individually, could yield fruitful results if implemented in concert.
Testimonianze di culto iacopeo e cateriniano in Albania ed una poco nota direttrice di pellegrinaggio: la chiesa di Shën Barbullës (S. Barbara) a Pllanë
Authors: Campobasso Gianvito
Published: November 2023

El artículo analiza un fresco, testimonio del culto de Santiago el Mayor en Albania, custodiado en una iglesia del pueblo de Pllanë, en la desembocadura del río Mati, al norte del país. El santo aparece representado con ropas de peregrino y está acompañado por la figura de Santa Catalina de Alejandría. Datadas en el siglo XV, estas pinturas constituyen una doble rareza, documentando la presencia del culto jacobeo en Albania, desconocido en los estudios, y testimoniando la introducción de un lenguaje pictórico de sello occidental en un contexto de tradición bizantina. La investigación identifica las posibles vías de la entrada del culto y del lenguaje pictórico, reconduciendo a un movimiento cultural que incluye la Costa Adriática occidental y la Apulia, pero con la mediación de Ragusa. Se propone para los frescos un terminus ante quem, contextualizados en una poco conocida ruta de peregrinación que atrajo a los fieles del litoral balcánico en la Baja Edad Media.
