Time Trends in Fish Tissue Methylmercury in Northern Watersheds: Implications of Phosphorus Loading and Eutrophication on Subsistence Fisheries
Authors: G. Fitzgerald Dean , S. McCarty Lynn
Published: October 2024

Subsistence fisheries for Michipicoten First Nation (MFN) in habitats across an area north of Lake Superior in Ontario, Canada were assessed. This assessment used reports by Ontario, private entities (e.g., mines), and MFN to evaluate contaminant concentrations in fishes from the 1980s to 2021; methylmercury was determined to be the contaminant of primary concern in fish tissues. Methylmercury tissue concentrations for varied fish species from four lakes and one river were used to establish contaminant-fish length relationships. Observed methylmercury tissue concentrations for these fishes allowed for the creation of updated consumption recommendations in MFN’s subsistence fisheries. This study recommended updated consumption rates for fish species including Northern Pike (Esox lucius), Walleye (Sander vitreus), Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush), Burbot (Lota lota), Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), White Sucker (Catostomus commersoni), Longnose Sucker (Catostomus catostomus), and introduced Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu). Elevated methylmercury concentrations followed increased eutrophication in these naturally oligotrophic watersheds from loading of plant nutrients, from both diffuse and defined regional sources. Nutrient mitigation measures to control in situ methylmercury production cannot be implemented as neither the nature or extent of past or current nutrient loading from various sources has been identified or estimated in the region.

Authors: Burki Aman Khan , Ahamed Mafaz Mohamed Normen , Ahmad Zaki , Zulfaka Auni , Bin Isa Mohamad Yazid
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and environmental sustainability, focusing on how AI-driven resource efficiency, energy consumption, environmental monitoring, and carbon emission reduction contribute to sustainability outcomes. The purpose of this research is to examine the dual nature of AI's impact on sustainability by testing both positive and negative effects using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Drawing from a sample of 233 firms in the energy, transportation, and manufacturing sectors, this study collects data through an online survey measured on a five-point Likert scale. Four hypotheses are tested, revealing that AI-driven resource efficiency and environmental monitoring positively affect sustainability, while AI energy consumption has a negative impact. Furthermore, AI integration in industrial processes helps reduce resource depletion. The findings suggest that governments should incentivize AI adoption aimed at resource efficiency and environmental monitoring through policies like tax breaks or subsidies, particularly for firms reducing their carbon footprint. To mitigate the negative effects of AI energy consumption, policymakers are urged to promote energy-efficient AI models and invest in renewable energy infrastructure. A balanced policy approach is crucial to optimize the environmental benefits of AI while minimizing its energy-related drawbacks.
Antibody-drug Conjugates in The Management of Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma
Authors: Dibajnia Pooya , Lalani Aly-Khan
Published: October 2024

For decades, the cornerstone for treatment of advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC) has consisted of platinum-based chemotherapy regimens, such as GC (gemcitabine plus cisplatin/carboplatin) or MVAC (methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin). Thereafter, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) were incorporated into the standard of care, initially as monotherapy in subsequent-line settings and more recently as maintenance treatment with chemotherapy in the first-line setting. Recently, the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) has dramatically shifted the treatment landscape for aUC.
ADCs are engineered to function as a biologic “honing missile”, with the aim of delivering its cytotoxic payload to the target cancer cell while remaining stable in circulation and minimizing off-target toxicity. Enfortumab vedotin was the first to demonstrate efficacy in urothelial carcinoma (UC), initially as monotherapy and later in combination with ICI, surpassing the decades-old standard of first-line chemotherapy. The aim of this review is to discuss the evolving field of ADCs in aUC, highlighting the main targets, clinical data, toxicities, and future opportunities.

Determination of trace analytes in nuclear grade Calcium Metal Samples by Axially Viewed Inductively Coupled Plasma – Atomic Emission Spectrometric technique
Authors: Adya Vijayalaxmi C.
Published: October 2024

An Inductively Coupled Plasma – Atomic Emission Spectrometric (ICP-AES) method has been developed for the direct determination of 19 analytes namely, Al, B, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mg, Mo, Mn, Ni, Pb, Pd, Si, Ta, V and W at trace concentration levels in calcium matrix. In nuclear industry, quality control and assurance of nuclear fuels and associated materials for trace metallic impurity contents form an integral part of the system for the smooth functioning of the reactor for the stipulated time span. In this context, it was required to determine trace analytes in nuclear grade Calcium which is used as a reducing agent for the production of U, Th, Pu, etc. in nuclear industry. Using axial ICP-AES, initially calibration curve for Ca with 396.847nm analytical line was obtained. Systematic studies were carried out to identify various analytical wavelengths of the analyte elements which are almost free from Ca, being the main matrix and calibration curves were obtained. For all analytes and Ca, detection limits and sensitivity values were calculated. To validate the method, three synthetic samples with analyte contents in the range of 0.1 - 5 g/mL and Ca at 1 mg/mL were analyzed, the % recovery being in the range of 80-120% with precision better than 5% RSD. The method was found to be useful for the direct determination of the elements of interest in calcium matrix and was applied for the analysis of two nuclear grade real life calcium metal samples.

Published: October 2024

Medical education is an important aspect in developing a country's health system. However, there are still issues that need to be addressed, especially those related to gender and leadership within medical education. The aim of this research is to analyze gender issues and leadership effectiveness in medical education. This study used qualitative research methods. The data collection technique in this research is literature study. The data that has been collected is then analyzed in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The research results show that gender issues in medical education reflect the imbalance that occurred when women first entered the medical field at the end of the 19th century. At that time, women focused more on the field of pediatrics because it was more accepted by societal norms at that time. As a result, history records that many early female physicians in the United States preferred to practice pediatric care and women's health. Meanwhile, in the context of leadership in medical education, the various leadership styles that are generally known are democratic, pacesetting, authoritative, affiliate, training and command styles.

Mobile money has gained a lot of acceptance in the Ugandan financial sector since its inception a decade ago. This is due to high mobile phone usage, especially in rural areas where branch banking is rare. The financial sector’s adoption of mobile money has enhanced financial inclusion by providing banking services to individuals previously excluded from the financial sector. Mobile money services offer a variety of financial transactions, including payment, saving, credit, and insurance, without the need to visit a banking hall. These are poverty reduction, job creation, GDP, and the development of a sound financial sector. However, despite the increased use and growth of mobile money in Uganda, it has presented the following challenges: Some of the problems undermining the future of this innovation include regulatory barriers, cybersecurity threats, compatibility questions, and consumer scepticism about digital financial services. Solving these challenges calls for cooperation between mobile money operators, regulators, policymakers, and other interested parties to foster innovation, competition, and consumer protection while enhancing the access and usage of financial services and products. This review examines mobile money adoption in Uganda. We used available data from many reputable databases, spanning the time period from 2010 to 2024. Findings suggest that in the future, mobile money in Uganda has bright prospects in terms of future trends, new uses, and improved connections with other electronic systems. New technologies like biometric identification, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain will enhance security, user experience, and other conditions that are necessary to fulfil user needs. Communication with mobile money providers, regulators, and stakeholders is a necessary step to fully benefit from these opportunities and manage the remaining challenges. Lastly, measures such as the promotion of consumer protection, availability of financial products and services, investment in technology, and constant public sensitization would go a long way towards tapping the full potential of mobile money in Uganda, as this fuels positive social and economic change in the country. Keywords: mobile money, Uganda, financial sector, cybersecurity, Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

Authors: Agustin Dinni , Nurdian Budi , Rosa Tina
Published: October 2024

This article examines the role of e-commerce platforms in enhancing entrepreneurship skills among students within Indonesia's Merdeka Belajar – Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program. As a pivotal initiative aimed at reforming higher education, MBKM emphasizes independent learning and practical experience, particularly in entrepreneurship. The rise of digital technology and e-commerce presents unique opportunities for students to engage in entrepreneurial activities that foster critical skills such as innovation, financial management, and marketing. This study highlights how online shopping platforms enable students to create and manage their own businesses, providing hands-on experience and exposure to real-world market dynamics. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews with students and educators, the findings reveal that leveraging e-commerce not only enhances students' entrepreneurial competencies but also encourages networking and collaboration within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. However, challenges such as limited digital literacy and market competition are identified, necessitating targeted support and training. The article concludes that integrating e-commerce into the MBKM framework can significantly improve students' readiness for the business world, aligning educational outcomes with industry demands. Recommendations for educators and policymakers are provided to optimize the use of digital technology in entrepreneurship education, ultimately fostering a new generation of skilled entrepreneurs in Indonesia.

الوقف حياة، به يخلَّد الأجر للواقف، ويجعل له لسان صدق في الآخرين، به تعمر الأوطان، بالدين والقيم والتعليم والصحة والتكافل الاجتماعي، به يزدهر الاقتصاد، بالمشاريع الاستثمارية والحركة العمرانية، الوقف سنة نبوية اشتملت على مقاصد إلهية وأسرار تشريعية لا تنضب. ونسافر مع قرائنا الكرام في هذا العدد الرابع من أعداد مجلتهم "مجلة الوقف"، إلى أربع دراسات متنوعة المواضيع، تناولت جوانب: إحصائية، تقنية، فقهية، إجرائية؛ حيث يتناول البحث الأول مسألة المعايير المتعلقة بقياس الأثر في مجال الوقف، أي الأساليب والمنهجيات المعتمدة في رصد التغيرات التي أحدثها الوقف، وذلك بوضع إطار تحليلي لفهم وتقييم فعّالية الأوقاف من خلال تطبيق عدد من المقاييس، ليطرح البحث الثاني إشكالية تحديد الأولويات في العمل الخيري، محاولاً الاستفادة من التقنيات الحديثة للمساعدة في تحسين وترتيب الأولويات لمتخذ القرار، ليجيب البحث الثالث عن مسألة الأوقاف المنقطعة الآخر والآراء في مذهب الإمام أحمد بشأنها، ويكشف جانبًا من الحراك الفقهي الوقفي في الإقليم النجدي، ليواجه البحث الرابع التحديات التي تواجه تنفيذ الوقف النقدي من خلال دراسة حالة منظمة نهضة العلماء الدينية الإسلامية بإندونيسيا. ونتمنى أن تستمتع المؤسسات الوقفية والقارئ الكريم بهذا الإثراء المعرفي بين إشكالية إجرائية في منظمة إندونيسية، وفتوى في مسألة وقفية من عالم فقيه نجدي، إلى استكشاف ورحلة في عالم التقنيات الحديثة، ليعود إلى البحث عن سبل قياس هذه الآثار في أرض الواقع، وإلى أن نلقاكم في رحلة معرفية متجددة وإصدارات علمية محكمة، والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.
