Authors: Boğday Sayğılı Başak , Dilber Cansel
Published: October 2024

This article discusses the prominent elements of artificial intelligence innovation in fashion sales techniques and details artificial intelligence-supported sales strategies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, virtual try-on rooms, smart mirrors, artificial intelligence-supported style consultants, visual search technologies and chatbot. This study was written with the compilation method. The compilation method is written with the aim of collecting the literature written so far on the research subjects from a scientific perspective and making a collective contribution to the literature. While virtual reality and augmented reality offer customers interactive shopping experiences and the opportunity to try products in their own environment without going to the store, virtual trial rooms and smart mirrors; Studies have shown that it has the potential to make online and face-to-face shopping easier, faster and more interactive. It has been stated that visual search technologies enable customers to easily find the products in the style they want, and artificial intelligence-supported style consultants and chatbots play an important role in optimizing the shopping experience by making personalized suggestions to customers. New and innovative solutions can be produced by conducting studies that encourage interdisciplinary collaboration between fashion designers, software developers and academicians. In this period when we live intertwined with technology, artificial intelligence-focused modules can be added to academic curricula for students studying in the field of design, and these modules will provide benefits for students to gain knowledge and skills on how to integrate artificial intelligence technologies into fashion design. The effective use of artificial intelligence in fashion sales techniques will provide a competitive advantage against competitors in the industry.

Authors: Şahin Muzaffer , Tetik Küçükelci Didem
Published: October 2024

This study aims at analyzing the relationship between earthquake anxiety and self-compassion skill, while evaluating gender differences. Data from a total of 273 participants were used to assess the earthquake anxiety and self-compassion skill levels of the participants. The findings indicate that the earthquake anxiety is higher among women but the self-compassion skill is more apparent among men. In the reliability analysis performed for the earthquake anxiety and self-compassion skill measurements; Crohnbach’s alpha coefficients were used. Accordingly, the coefficients were calculated as (0.98) for earthquake anxiety scale and (0.84) for self-compassion scale. It was revealed that both scales had high reliability coefficients. Correlation analysis results indicate that the individuals with high earthquake anxiety have lower self-compassion skill. In addition, it was observed that the earthquake anxiety increased according to the risk magnitude, that is to say, it was found that the earthquake anxiety were more apparent in the individuals residing in the areas at high earthquake risk. The regression model established between self-compassion scale and earthquake anxiety scale were also found significant. These findings shed a light to the further studies to be performed to better understand the complex relationship between earthquake anxiety and self-compassion skill. This study makes an important contribution to the fact that psychological support services and crisis intervention programs can reach to the individuals more efficiently, taking the relationship between earthquake anxiety and self-compassion skill.

Gospodarstwa rodzinne wobec wyzwań wyżywienia i ochrony środowiska – ujęcie globalne
Authors: S. Zegar Józef
Published: October 2024

Świat stoi w obliczu wielu wyzwań – nie po raz pierwszy zresztą, ale po raz pierwszy wyzwania mają charakter globalny (planetarny). Dwa są szczególnie istotne. Jedno wiąże się z wyżywieniem, drugie zaś z zachowaniem habitatu ludzkiego - globalnego ekosystemu (biosfery). W odniesieniu do wyżywienia podstawowy problem polega na wytworzeniu dostatecznego quantum produktów rolniczych, ale ważna jest także dostępność ekonomiczna żywności oraz jej jakość, ponieważ wszystkie te elementy przesądzają o bezpieczeństwie żywnościowym. W odniesieniu do biosfery podstawowy problem wynika z tego, iż system gospodarczy społeczności planetarnej przekroczył jej pojemność czyli mówiąc inaczej obecne pokolenie ludzi żyje na koszt przyszłych generacji. Taka sytuacja jest oczywiście niemożliwa do utrzymania na dłuższą metę. W sprostaniu wymienionym wyzwaniom szczególne miejsce przypada rolnictwu. W odniesieniu do pierwszego wyzwania – wyżywienia – sprawa jest oczywista, bo to właśnie rolnictwo dostarcza lwiej części produktów służących temu celowi. Rybołówstwo, myślistwo, leśnictwo i inne sfery pozyskiwania produktów żywnościowych pełnią rolę uzupełniającą. W odniesieniu do wyzwania drugiego – ochrony środowiska – sprawa także staje się oczywista, jeśli uwzględnimy powierzchnię Ziemi, która jest użytkowana ergo zarządzana przez rolnictwo oraz rozległe interakcje rolnictwa i środowiska. W artykule poszukujemy odpowiedzi na pytanie czy gospodarstwa rodzinne mogą współcześnie podołać tym wyzwaniom. Rozważania rozpoczniemy od uwag ogólnych dotyczących gospodarstw rodzinnych. Następnie przybliżymy dwa wyszczególnione wyzwania, po czym odniesiemy się do sprawności gospodarstw rodzinnych w kontekście tych wyzwań. Chodzi bowiem o to, aby wyzwaniom podołać w sposób efektywny − w społecznym ujęciu efektywności. Rozważania zamkniemy uwagami o przyszłości gospodarstw rodzinnych w dobie globalizacji.
Partnerstwo międzysektorowe czy kolejne narzędzie władz samorządowych? Ukryty sektor publiczny w lokalnych grupach działania w Polsce
Authors: Furmankiewicz Marek
Published: October 2024

W oparciu o próbę 45 losowo wybranych lokalnych grup działania (dalej: LGD) wykonano telefoniczne badania kwestionariuszowe członków tzw. rad decyzyjnych (łącznie 668 członków rad LGD), która wykazała, iż udział wójtów/burmistrzów, pracowników urzędów i kierowników podmiotów publicznych jest wyższy od deklarowanego średnio o 19%. W 27 na 45 badanych LGD (60%) sektor publiczny przekraczał w rzeczywistości 50% składu rady LGD i miał zapewnioną większość w głosowaniach dotyczących wyboru projektów lokalnych wspieranych w ramach tzw. osi 4 LEADER Programu Rozwoju Obszarów Wiejskich. W 30 na 45 badanych LGD (66%) stwierdzono przypadki podległości służbowej członków rad (zwykle w jednej radzie wójtowie/burmistrzowie i podlegli im pracownicy urzędu gminy wykazywani jako przedstawiciele sektora społecznego). Czasami także wójtowie/burmistrzowie i ich zastępcy przedstawiali pełnomocnictwa lokalnych organizacji jako „przedstawiciele sektora społecznego”. Zjawiska te występowały w całej Polsce i nie wykazano istotnych statystycznie różnic pomiędzy regionami historyczno-kulturowymi w „ukrywaniu” sektora publicznego. Dyskutowane są przyczyny i konsekwencje dominacji sektora publicznego w organach decyzyjnych LGD.
Aksjologia i prakseologia polityki wobec drobnych gospodarstw rolnych w Polsce i w Unii Europejskiej
Authors: Wilkin Jerzy
Published: October 2024

Zjawisko występowania drobnych, niskotowarowych gospodarstw rolnych ma w Unii Europejskiej charakter masowy. Większość tych gospodarstw znajduje się w nowych krajach członkowskich (zwłaszcza w Rumunii i Polsce), przyjętych do Unii w 2004 i 2007 roku, ale takie gospodarstwa występują też licznie we Włoszech, Grecji czy Portugalii. Rozwiązanie problemu drobnych gospodarstw jest trudnym zadaniem, z którym nie radzi sobie wiele krajów, w tym Polska. Dotychczasowe działania UE polegały na wspieraniu takich gospodarstw za pomocą instrumentów wspólnej polityki rolnej (WPR), ale skuteczność i efektywność tych działań są małe. W artykule dokonano analizy zarówno aksjologicznych przesłanek polityki wobec drobnych gospodarstw, jak i rozwiązań praktycznych w tym zakresie. W konkluzji sformułowano wniosek o potrzebie stworzenia kompleksowej i innowacyjnej polityki wobec drobnych gospodarstw w skali krajowej, w dużym stopniu niezależnej od WPR.
The role of small farms in Italy: between subsistence and diversification
Authors: Ascione Elisa , Henke Roberto , Vanni Francesco
Published: October 2024

The paper explores the role of small farms in Italy, by analyzing the significance of on-farm farming and non-farming activities on the basis of the Italian FADN database (Farm Accounting Data Network), covering the period from 2003 to 2009. Small farms were classified into six mutually exclusive and homogeneous groups (two groups of micro-farms and four groups of small farms) according to their degree of diversification and differentiation of production and, for each group, the economic sustainability as well as the role of public support were assessed through a set of indicators. The results of the analysis confirm the non-economic role of micro-farms, whose justification needs to be rather found in territorial and social objectives. With regard to the small farms, the results show that, even though conventional profiles are still predominant, a significant number of small farms shows some sort of interest towards diversification and multifunctionality. The majority of farms in the panel focused on the strategy of differentiation through quality products, which is a key aspect for Italian agriculture performance and competitiveness. Finally, the indicators on public support seem to confirm the complementary role of rural development policies to the first pillar of the CAP, by highlighting the need of implementing more effective policy tools aimed at preventing the exit of small farms from the sector, also by supporting the entrepreneurial skills necessary to react and reverse the marginalization process.
Strategie rozwojowe gospodarstw dwuzawodowych w regionie Bawarii – studium przypadku
Authors: Sawicka Zofia
Published: October 2024

Artykuł opisuje przemiany i strategie rozwojowe dziesięciu bawarskich gospodarstw dwuzawodowych. Bawaria wchodziła w okres powojenny z rozdrobnioną strukturą agrarną i dużym udziałem ludności pracującej w rolnictwie. Intensyfikacja rolnictwa, jaka miała miejsce w Europie Zachodniej w powojennych dziesięcioleciach, nie ominęła także Bawarii. Jednak jej siła była zmniejszana poprzez regionalną politykę wsparcia gospodarstw małych i dwuzawodowych. Badania literaturowe oraz przeprowadzone wywiady pogłębione z właścicielami gospodarstw pokazały, że dzięki instrumentom publicznego wsparcia gospodarstwa te mają w Bawarii stabilną pozycję, a ich strategie są zachowawcze. Nastawiają się na gospodarowanie bez podejmowania inwestycji we wzrost powierzchni czy modernizację. Mimo dużego popytu na ziemię rolniczą nie planują porzucenia rolnictwa i oddania w dzierżawę swoich gruntów rolnych.

Unfree Labour Relations in Brazil’s Amazon Region. An Assessment of the Changes Due to the Political Crisis Under the Bolsonaro-Government
Authors: Harnoncourt Julia
Published: October 2024

Trabalho escravo, a form of unfree labour, has been considered a crime in Brazil since 1995. Historically, Pará, a state in the Brazilian Amazon region, has had the highest numbers of trabalho escravo, especially in the agricultural sector. This article examines the changes in the regime of trabalho escravo in Pará, from the time after the coup against Dilma Rousseff in 2016 until the end of the Bolsonaro government. Political and economic changes have had reciprocal effects on the organization of trabalho escravo as well as on the power dynamics in the Amazon region, on land conflicts and on the racialization of the labourers, which in turn influence trabalho escravo. To study all of these factors, two series of interviews with experts working in the field were conducted, one in 2014 and another in 2022. Apart from the secondary literature, this article also draws on statistics gathered by the state and those gathered by one of the most important NGOs fighting this labour regime. All these enable this work to shed light on a time frame that, to date, has barely been the subject of research, especially with regard to trabalho escravo.

SÛFÎ MESLEĞİ’NİN TEŞEKKÜLÜ VE SÛFÎ İLE İ’TİLÂF MESLEKLERİNİN İHTİLAF ETTİKLERİ TERCİH ÖRNEKLERİNE DAİR BİR İNCELEME
Authors: Ayan Hidayet
Published: October 2024

Bu makalede Anadolu coğrafyasında ortaya çıkan ve kırâât eğitiminde istifade edilen mesleklerden biri olan Sûfî mesleği ve bu mesleğin tercihleri ele alınmıştır. Sûfî mesleğinin kurucusu olarak kabul edilen Ahmed es-Sûfî’nin hayatı, tesis etmiş olduğu mesleğin özellikleri ve bu meslekte tercih edilen kırâât vecihleri çalışmanın ana konusudur. Özellikle Sûfî mesleği ile İstanbul tarîkine mensup bir diğer meslek olan İ’tilâf mesleğinin tercihlerindeki farklılıklar seçilen örnekler üzerinden ‘aşru’s-suğrâ müfredatı dikkate alınarak incelenmiştir. Araştırma esnasında meslekler üzerine farklı veçhelerden yapılan çalışmalar tespit edilmiş, bu çalışmaların bazılarına ait içeriklerde mesleklere ait tercihlere ve tercih farklılıklarının mukayesesine pek yer verilmediği müşahede edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın temel amacı, Sûfî ve İ’tilâf meslekleri arasındaki tercih farklılıklarını seçilen örnekler üzerinden tespit etmek ve bunların arka planını ortaya koymaktır. Nitekim Sûfî mesleğine ait tercihlerin keyfiyeti incelenirken eş-Şâtıbiyye ve ed-Dürre temel kaynak olarak alınmış, buna ilaveten belirlenen örnekler Dânî’nin et-Teysîr ve İbnü’l-Cezerî’nin Tahbîru’t-Teysîr adlı eserleri ve eş-Şâtıbiyye üzerine yapılan çalışmalardan istifade edilerek incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın neticesinde İstanbul tarîki meslekleri arasındaki tercih farklılıklarının takdîm, te’hîr, kabul ve terk kabilinden hususlarla alakalı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Nitekim bu durum, bazen bir vechin terki veya kabulü veyahut belli sebeplere binaen her iki vechin kabul edilmesine ilaveten takdîm-te’hîr şeklinde bir sıralama yapılması formatında tezahür etmektedir. Çalışmada ele alınan بسطة örneğinde Sûfî mesleğinde icra edilenص vechinin eş-Şâtıbiyye ve et-Teysîr adlı eserlerin tarik muhtevasına mutabık olduğu görülmektedir. Makalede incelenen bir diğer örnek için İ’tilâf mesleğinde teshîl ve ibdâl vecihlerinden her ikisi de uygulanmaktayken Sûfî mesleğinde ibdâl vechi tercih edilmemektedir. Buna göre Sûfî mesleğinin buradaki icrasında eş-Şâtıbiyye ve ed-Dürre tariklerinin muhtevası dikkate alınmış olmaktadır. Çalışmada incelenen örneklerde Sûfî mesleğinin Î’tilâf mesleğinden ayrıştığı tercihlerde yer yer diğer mesleklerle mutabık kaldığı görülmektedir.

Modelación y control óptimo de la propagación de especies invasivas en paisajes heterogéneos mediante autómatas celulares
Authors: Motiño Tercero David Enrique , Henríquez Rivera Iván Yessel
Published: October 2024

En este estudio se aborda el fenómeno de propagación de especies invasivas que generan problemas ecológicos, ambientales y económicos a gran escala. Existen diferentes modelos que abordan este tipo de fenómenos para establecer políticas y estrategias óptimas que puedan erradicar o controlar los brotes de especies invasivas. La mayoría de los modelos se basan en espacio-tiempo, sin embargo, no suelen tomar en cuenta la heterogeneidad del paisaje en la que existen características espaciales que naturalmente rigen la dinámica de los brotes en combinación con otras variables relacionadas al comportamiento de la especie invasiva y especie víctima. En este trabajo se propone un modelo económico que determina las políticas óptimas para el control de un brote; el modelo captura información relacionada a la heterogeneidad del espacio considerando algunas de las características espaciales del paisaje que tienen incidencia en el fenómeno, con el objetivo de tener una mejor predicción respecto a la dinámica de los brotes. El modelo consiste en un problema de optimización dinámica basado en autómatas celulares, por lo que, además de determinar las estrategias óptimas de control, también nos permite visualizar la dinámica del fenómeno en cada tiempo proyectado. El modelo se aplicó a diferentes escenarios de heterogeneidad para el paisaje y se hace un contraste con paisajes homogéneos, obteniendo resultados interesantes que confirman la importancia de la heterogeneidad en los modelos de especies invasivas.

Published: October 2024

As cartilhas digitais são pôsteres informativos publicados em redes sociais que ajudam as pessoas no ensino-aprendizagem de algum assunto específico. Por isso, sua relevância está no fato de apresentarem uma linguagem direta e de fácil acesso. Dessa maneira, este artigo buscou responder à seguinte problemática: “É possível que haja engajamento de usuários da rede social Instagramcom publicações de cartilhas digitais com ênfase em ensino-aprendizagem de física?” O objetivo geral foi investigar o engajamento com cartilhas digitais, com ênfase em física, publicadas na rede social Instagram durante o período de 2020 a 2023. Para isso, foi necessário publicar mensalmente cartilhas digitais em formatos informativos, com ênfase em física, e realizar enquetes com perguntas objetivas. Como metodologia, utilizamos um procedimento baseado no estudo de caso, com abordagem quali-quantitativa de natureza básica. Como resultado, foram publicadas cerca de 57 cartilhas digitais, obtendo-se muitos seguidores para a conta, com um número significativo de engajamento. Dentre os resultados, destacamos que a criação da conta no Instagramobteve resultados oscilatórios, demonstrando que a plataforma é de grande utilidade na divulgação informativa. Assim, esperamos que, no futuro, professores e pessoas em geral utilizem essas cartilhas digitais para autoconhecimento e ensino-aprendizagem em física.

Há muitas décadas, o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de Matemática no ensino médio tem sido feito através de aulas expositivas usualmente. Da década de 2000 em diante, esse método tem sido aperfeiçoado e modificado com o uso de metodologias ativas em ambiente escolar. O objetivo deste artigo é aplicar uma metodologia própria para criação de seis atividades que utilizam metodologia ativa e que possuem correlação direta com as habilidades listadas na base nacional comum curricular (BNCC) de Matemática do ensino médio. Discentes do último semestre do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática da Universidade do Estado do Pará (UEPA) participaram da criação das atividades descritas neste trabalho durante a disciplina Práticas do Ensino da Matemática II. No total, 24 habilidades da BNCC foram associadas às seis atividades e cinco tipos diferentes de metodologias ativas foram consideradas. Sendo assim, verificou-se que é factível mudar a maneira de ensinar Matemática para tornar os momentos de sala de aula mais interessantes e motivadores aos estudantes do ensino médio.

Published: October 2024

Este estudo avaliou o desenvolvimento de criança com TEA de 6 anos em intervenções de Psicologia Escolar e Análise do Comportamento Aplicada (ABA). A criança foi alvo do ensino de múltiplas habilidades sob formato de ABA por tentativas discretas durante interações com intervencionista em laboratório universitário. Paralelamente foram realizadas cinco visitas à escola para definição de mapeamento institucional compreendendo registro em planilhas de observação, entrevistas semiestruturadas com a mãe, professora e diretora da instituição e registros descritivos e analíticos das visitas à escola. No laboratório foram constatadas evoluções da criança em múltiplos repertórios (ex: uso de sentenças na comunicação, responder perguntas etc.). Na escola, dados de entrevistas e observações indicaram que a criança era funcional em atividades acadêmicas. No entanto, ela pouco interagia com pares e a professora tipicamente não fazia mediações para as interações acontecerem. Defende-se a inserção de psicólogo escolar no assessoramento a docentes para práticas de inclusão, assim como na capacitação da mãe e outros cuidadores que ajudem a impulsionar desenvolvimento em outros contextos.

Objetivou-se apresentar as razões que motivam as professoras campesinas a prosseguirem (ou não) na docência em escolas da Amazônia Acreana, considerando seus desafios no trabalho docente, suas expectativas para a ascensão na carreira e suas vivências pessoais e familiares. A investigação, de abordagem qualitativa, concentrou-se na análise dos dados produzidos a partir da aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado a 39 professoras em formação inicial, ou seja, estudantes da licenciatura em Pedagogia pelo Plano Nacional de Formação de Professores – Parfor. Todas elas, apesar de não serem graduadas, já lecionam em classes multisseriadas em escolas campesinas do município de Feijó, estado do Acre, Brasil. Como resultados, a pesquisa revelou que a manutenção de suas famílias, a aceitação das comunidades em que trabalham e o conforto para o acesso às escolas em que lecionam são os fatores determinantes para o desejo pela permanência (ou pelo afastamento) do magistério no território do Campo. As análises mostram o quão desafiador é o exercício do magistério na Amazônia Acreana e alertam para a necessidade de políticas públicas para a melhoria das condições de trabalho docente destas mulheres.

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) consist of independent, self-organized mobile nodes capable of wirelessly communicating with each other in a reliable and secure manner. One of the major challenges in MANETs is energy consumption, as the lifetime of a node's battery is limited. This limitation can affect both network connectivity and the lifetime of individual nodes. Various protocols, proposed by the IETF and other solution providers, have aimed to optimize bandwidth, transmission quality, and power control, but none have significantly improved energy consumption. In response to these challenges, the proposed protocol is the Dynamic Load Balancing in Multipath Energy-Consuming Routing Protocol (DLB-MERP) for Wireless Ad hoc Networks. DLB-MERP can be viewed as an extension of the AOMDV protocol and is classified as a zone-based routing protocol, though it incorporates superior load balancing and energy management techniques. It introduces the concept of virtual zones to manage and distribute energy consumption in an organized way. The protocol selects communication paths based on the availability of node energy and power levels. A leader node is defined within each zone, chosen based on its energy level, load, and channel strength, to optimize energy usage.

Authors: ALI W , KHAN JA
Published: October 2024

Asthma is a common respiratory condition that significantly impacts patient quality of life, with many individuals lacking adequate knowledge about triggers and proper inhalation therapy. Understanding patient awareness of asthma management is crucial in designing interventions that enhance their ability to prevent and manage symptoms effectively. Objective: This study aimed to assess the awareness of asthma triggers, perceptions of inhalation therapy, and the effect of a teaching intervention among patients visiting a tertiary healthcare facility in Karachi, Pakistan. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted in the Department of Pulmonary Medicine at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from January to June 2024. A total of 200 asthma patients were included through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire that assessed participants' knowledge of primary asthma triggers, correct inhaler usage, and relevant socio-demographic factors. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Version 25, and frequencies, percentages, and chi-square tests were used to examine associations between patient knowledge and other variables. Results: The study revealed that asthma awareness among participants was limited. Only 45% of respondents could identify common asthma triggers accurately, while 30% believed that asthma was solely caused by smoking or pollution. Additionally, 35% of patients expressed concerns about frequent reliance on inhalers, and 40% indicated that they were unsure of the correct way to use their inhalers. The teaching intervention demonstrated an improvement in inhaler usage knowledge and reduced anxiety related to inhalation therapy. Conclusion: This study highlights a significant gap in patient awareness regarding asthma triggers and the proper use of inhalers. These findings emphasize the importance of developing targeted educational interventions to improve asthma management, particularly in low-resource settings. Future efforts should focus on enhancing patient education to prevent asthma-related complications and improve overall disease control.
FREQUENCY OF ALLERGIC BRONCHOPULMONARY ASPERGILLOSIS (ABPA) IN PATIENTS ADMITTED WITH ACUTE EXACERBATION OF ASTHMA IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL IN KARACHI: A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
Authors: ALI W , KHAN JA
Published: October 2024

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) is a hypersensitivity reaction to Aspergillus species and often complicates the clinical course of asthma, leading to more severe exacerbations and poor disease control. Despite its clinical relevance, the prevalence of ABPA in asthma patients remains under-reported, especially in developing countries like Pakistan. Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ABPA among patients admitted with acute exacerbations of asthma at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Methods: A prospective observational quantitative study was conducted at the  Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Aga Khan Hospital University Karachi, Pakistan from January 2023 to December 2023 in Karachi. The study included 150 isolated patients of either gender, aged between 18 and 80 years, with a clinical diagnosis of asthma or those eligible for spirometry. Data collected included demographic details, past medical history, pulmonary function test results, and serological data for ABPA diagnosis. The presence of ABPA was confirmed by elevated serum total IgE concentration, specific IgE to Aspergillus fumigatus, and radiological findings. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS, with p-values < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The study revealed an overall prevalence of ABPA in 20% of the 150 patients with acute asthma exacerbations. Serum total IgE concentration was significantly higher in the ABPA group (450 IU/mL) compared to the non-ABPA group (p < 0.05). Additionally, patients with ABPA had significantly lower FEV1 (60% predicted) compared to those without ABPA (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The study highlights a notable prevalence of ABPA among asthma patients experiencing acute exacerbations. This underscores the importance of raising clinical awareness and implementing timely diagnostic strategies for ABPA in asthma management, which could significantly improve patient outcomes.

Multiple diseases are treated using medicinal plants nowadays. Salvadora persica and Calotropis Gigantea are beneficial herbs for traditional herbal medicine. The aim of the study was to Screen phytochemicals, antibacterial and antioxidant properties of Salvadora persica and Calotropis Gigantea against Staph. Aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhimurium. Methods: Phytochemicals of both Salvadora persica and Calotropis Gigantea were screened by GC-MS analyzer. Antibacterial and antioxidant activity of ethnolic and Methonolic extracts of screened phytochemicals was tested using Agar Well Diffusion and DPPH assay respectively. Salvadora persica leaf extracts (100g/ml) inhibited Staph. Aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhimurium. Density was used to establish the minimal inhibitory concentration of Salvadora persica and Calotropis Gigantea extracts. Results: Both plant extracts were rich in over 250 detected chemicals via GC-MS analyzer, with 52.5% of these having antibacterial and antioxidant properties Salvadora persica extracts were characterized by 1, 8-Cineole polyphenols (45%) and cyclic ethylene mercaptole (55%), demonstrating antibacterial and antioxidant effects. Meanwhile, Calotropis Gigantea extracts contained major components Campestrol (69%) and β-tocopherol (4%).  Salvadora persica and Calotropis Gigantea extracts exhibited inhibition against Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 3.12 mg/ml. Antioxidant activity, assessed via the DPPH test, revealed 35% activity with 200μl of Methanolic extracts. Both Salvadora persica and Calotropis Gigantea leaf extracts exhibited antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. Notably, Calotropis Gigantea was effective against all chosen pathogens, while Salvadora persica exclusively targeted Staphylococcus aureus. Although Calotropis Gigantea had fewer antioxidants compared to Salvadora persica, the latter's extracts held potential for mitigating oxidative stress, aging, and related disorders. Previous studies highlighted 1, 8-Cineole polyphenols (45%) and cyclic ethylene mercaptole (55%) as antibacterial and antifungal agents against Klebsiella pneumonia and Aspergillus nigar. Conclusion: These findings underscore the promising applications of Salvadora persica and Calotropis Gigantea extracts in both antimicrobial and antioxidant interventions. And can be effected against different diseases such as Typhoid, skin diseases, and disease caused by Escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus.

With the rapid development of modern civilization, the increasing pressures of contemporary life, the fast pace of living, and the influence of social media, an increasing number of people are suffering from mental health issues. Mental health is an important aspect that everyone should be concerned about. Research has revealed that depression can significantly impact a person's professional and interpersonal skills, potentially affecting ones career trajectory. However, while both men and women face mental health issues, gender differences persist. Numerous studies have indicated that disparities exist in both brain structure and function between males and females. For instance, females may exhibit a greater advantage in emotional processing and social cognition, whereas males may demonstrate enhanced spatial cognition abilities. This study aims to explore gender differences in mental health across four factors. The result shows that, family intergenerational relationships have a greater impact on girls than boys. During their student years, interpersonal relationships within dormitories have a greater influence on boys. In the social sphere, women are more prone to depression than men. From a personal perspective, females are also more likely to experience negative emotions compared to males.

Authors: Xu Yihang
Published: October 2024

Abstract: The study of Qu Yuan has always been a key topic in Chuci, and since Wang Guowei's study in 1906, Qu Yuan's image and works has been continuously excavated in different periods. Being widely eulogized at that time, the discussion and compilation of Qu Yuan's cultural image by the rulers and scholars of the two Han Dynasty gave Qu Yuan a unique cultural connotation, and they jointly compiled a unique "Qu Yuan" belonging to the Han Dynasty. Against the background of the emergence of a new era of cultural study, the reinterpretation of the cultural image of historical figures in ancient China can contribute to the restoration of a more authentic history and culture. Hence, analyzing the flux of the cultural image of "Qu Yuan" in the two Han dynasty can clarify the cultural concepts promoted in different eras of the Han Dynasty and the overall historical tendency of its development.
