Circular Microstrip Antennas in 5G: Evaluating Metamaterial Integration
Authors: Oluwafemi Israel Adeolu , Ukommi Ubong , Ubom Emmanuel , Obot Akanniyene
Published: September 2024

The rapid emergence of Fifth-Generation (5G) technologies necessitate the development of highly efficient antenna systems with compact design that can support Ultra-Wideband (UWB) frequencies. This work presents the design and enhancement of a Circular Microstrip Antenna (CMSA) for 5G UWB applications using metamaterials. The study focuses on the design of CMSA and the integration of a Complementary Split-Ring Resonator (CSRR) into the circular patch of the CMSA. The design is simulated using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Studio 2023. The system design without metamaterials achieved a gain of 5.28 dBi and a bandwidth of 353.0 MHz. The integration of the CSRR led to an improvement in gain, 5.39 dBi at 3.8 GHz, which is above most of the literature reviewed, although there was a slight reduction in bandwidth to 135.2 MHz. The objectives of achieving a CMSA design with a gain between 5 to 10 dBi while maintaining a compact size were accomplished. Despite the slight reduction in bandwidth observed when integrating the CSRR into the CMSA, the overall results highlight the significant role metamaterials played in enhancing the performance of microstrip antennas for 5G technology applications.

Authors: Diekola Oluseyi J. , Shiyanbade Bolanle W. , Adeyeni Olusegun B. , Wahab Yusuf B. , Ambali Sodiq A.
Published: September 2024

The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended, contains some provisions for the creation of local government as the third tier of government whose objective is to ensure effective, measurable and efficient service delivery to the people, while bringing government closer to people at the rural communities in order to attain the transformation of lives in these communities. However, local governments in Nigeria are facing various difficulties which have brought to the fore the question of local government autonomy. The experience with many Local Government Areas is that their states starve them of the statutory grants, and in the process deny them the opportunity of rendering essential services as required. The major concern of this paper is identifying these difficulties and the factors responsible for them. In achieving this, the paper relies on descriptive approach. The conclusion of the paper is that problems confronting local governments in Nigeria are multifarious, and the solutions for them should be adequate and practical to evolve into a viable and development-oriented third tier of government.
Appraisement and categorization of compostable and non-compostable plastic bags using HHXRF spectrophotometer, A study on brands in Islamabad
Authors: Syeda Hijab Zehra  , Said Akbar Khan  , Saad Ali  , Syeda Mahnoor Zehra
Published: September 2024

Plastic bags are polymers usually composed of polypropylene, polyethylene and polystyrene. Rapid development in the industrial sector manufacturing plastic bags is imposing tremendous side effects on human health and the environment. Conventional plastic bags are made from recycled or first use, but authorities restricted lightweight plastic bags (thickness of <50μm) with compostable material. This study examines the degradation of plastic bags collected from the markets of different sectors of Islamabad. Many samples (~100) were gathered from the public market. Using a Hands Held X-Ray Fluorescent (HHXRF) spectrophotometer and the standard approach, the study confirmed the proportions, amounts, and patterns of several heavy metals (additives) utilized in the production of both types of bags. The result showed Titanium (Ti), Copper (Cu) and Calcium (Ca) were used in massive amounts, other carcinogenic metals i.e., Mercury (Hg), Arsenic (Ar), Chromium (Cr), Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) were also detected. Long term exposure to this metal can disrupt living cells. We concluded that because of the photolytic qualities of the additives used in degradable plastic bags when the linkages of polymers are generated, degradable plastic bags may be more dangerous than non-degradable plastic bags.

Il sangue reale della stirpe di Cadmo e la nobiltà d'animo di Arcita nel Teseida del Boccaccio
Authors: Sabbatino Marcello
Published: September 2024

L'ira di Giunone contro Europa, sorella di Cadmo e amante di Giove, si era abbattuta con la maledizione della “mala morte” sulla stirpe reale del fondatore di Tebe, di cui i giovani Arcita e Palemone sono gli ultimi discendenti. Per scongiurare il finale, preannunciato dal legame di sangue e dalle sequenze funeste prelevate dalle Metamorfosi di Ovidio e dalla Tebaide di Stazio, Boccaccio introduce nel Teseida il canone della nuova poesia d'amore, inaugurato da Dante nella Vita Nuova e operante con matura consapevolezza nella Commedia, e lo adatta al mondo cortese. Il nuovo orizzonte, disegnato da Boccaccio nell'antica Atene trasformata in un comune medievale, è caratterizzato dal servizio d'Amore e dalla nobiltà d'animo del cavaliere, per cui l'esercizio delle virtù, le grandi gesta, la disposizione al bene, il rispetto dei doveri sociali e la pietas verso gli dei liberano dai lacci genealogici e configurano la parabola terrena e celeste di Arcita.
Carla Vasio e il nuovo lavoro di Penelope: un orizzonte sperimentale e femminista
Authors: Re Lucia
Published: September 2024

Il saggio propone un'analisi testuale e contestuale del romanzo breve L'orizzonte (1966) di Carla Vasio, composto all'epoca del suo sodalizio col Gruppo 63. Pur aderendo a un paradigma modernista sperimentale del raccontare, Vasio non rinuncia alla ricerca di un “orizzonte” ermeneutico e psicologico, e si distacca dunque dalla tendenza all'indeterminatezza labirintica e all'abolizione dell'io caratteristiche della neoavanguardia. Benché mai fisso o totalizzante, tale orizzonte serve nondimeno a orientare la ricerca narrativa, collegandola a un'identità femminile, e costruendo un “io” riconoscibile, capace di dare un senso e una direzione nuova all'esperienza della protagonista/narratrice. La metafora del lavorare a maglia e del disfare viene qui interpretata come rivisitazione e originale revisione femminista del mito di Penelope, e come allegoria della tessitura sperimentale del racconto e della storia esemplare di una giovane donna, testimonianza del nuovo femminismo ancora in fieri in Italia mentre si preparano le battaglie per il divorzio e per l'aborto.
Analyzing Students’ Plurilingual Repertoires in the Italian for Speakers of English and Spanish Classroom
Authors: Fiorenza Elisa , Donato Clorinda
Published: September 2024

This article discusses an analysis of Italian comprehension levels among students enrolled in first- and second-semester Italian language courses at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB). It presents the first detailed examination of the students’ language background, their initial comprehension levels of Italian, their linguistic and metalinguistic skills in their native language, and their exit levels in Italian in order to: (1) determine the extent to which prior knowledge of Spanish facilitates the comprehension of Italian; (2) create a database to monitor the learning pathways of students enrolled in Italian for Speakers of English and Spanish courses; (3) improve instruction in these multilingual courses. Our thorough analysis, based on empirical evidence, of the varying competencies of these students of Italian (N = 55) has provided us with food for thought about the use of Intercomprehension in the United States and how we can fine-tune the teaching of Italian at CSULB and in similar multilingual contexts, where the presence of heritage Spanish speakers is sizeable (40% in the case of CSULB) and growing.
Il romanzo Piccola pretura di Giuseppe Guido Loschiavo: la percezione popolare della malavita e i suoi esiti in transcodifica
Authors: Daniele Antonio R.
Published: September 2024

L'intervento si propone di verificare la percezione del fenomeno mafioso attraverso una breve analisi e un confronto fra il medium letterario (o, almeno, libresco) e quello cinematografico. Nel caso di specie, vale la pena indagare il rapporto tra la fonte narrativa rappresentata da Piccola pretura (1948), il romanzo del magistrato Giuseppe Guido Loschiavo, e l'adattamento cinematografico che ne venne, ossia In nome della legge (1949) di Pietro Germi. In prima istanza sarà utile esaminare la ricezione che lungo i decenni ha avuto il testo di Loschiavo fuori d'Italia, e allo scopo si terranno presenti, almeno sul piano del contributo documentale, gli studi di John Dickie (riuniti per Laterza qualche anno fa), ai quali si deve il merito di aver connesso efficacemente gli elementi storici e storiografici del romanzo con i fattori finzionali della pellicola germiana. Restavano e restano irrisolti alcuni aspetti legati alla cognizione dei caratteri della malavita siciliana del secondo dopoguerra che meritano un debito approfondimento, dato che una scuola critica ha intravisto nel romanzo di Loschiavo (e in altri suoi precedenti lavori) la tendenza al tono apologetico. Quanto di questo sostrato sia rimasto nel film di Germi (e in che modo il regista genovese abbia saputo dipingere un quadro dai tratti neorealisti e, quindi, “riscattare”, almeno in parte, la patina quasi celebrativa della rappresentazione di Loschiavo in Piccola pretura), è un percorso di analisi degno di essere effettuato, soprattutto in relazione alla successiva produzione filmica di Germi di ambientazione siciliana che virerà, invece, in direzione del bozzettismo e della maniera.
Paradise Lost on the Hills above Alba: Nostalgia in Fenoglio's Una questione privata
Authors: Crognale Megan
Published: September 2024

When Beppe Fenoglio's partisan novel Una questione privata was first published in 1963, critics immediately took issue with its foregrounding of romance over Resistance Literature's more established form of chronological testimony. Indeed, from the moment the protagonist Milton sets foot in his beloved Fulvia's villa, he withdraws from his responsibilities as a partisan fighter in the Italian Resistance in order to discover the truth about her alleged betrayal. Though his quest has often been construed as nothing more than a boyish escape from his obligations, this study reinterprets Milton's nostalgia as a more radical form of resistance: Milton's choice to dwell in paradise lost is a refusal to participate in the dehumanizing machinery of war. Relying on his nostalgia as a compass, Milton reorients himself towards home as a means of rediscovering and maintaining his humanity.
Tullio De Mauro e Umberto Eco, verso una teoria semiotica complementare
Authors: Vitello Rosario
Published: September 2024

Il saggio concerne due questioni fondamentali circa le semiotiche di Tullio De Mauro e Umberto Eco. La prima, di natura storico-metodologica, ripercorre sommariamente le biografie intellettuali dei due autori sopra menzionati, cercando di rilevare i punti centrali dai quali si è articolato lo sviluppo di una complessa impalcatura teorica frutto di un lavoro quasi cinquantennale. La seconda, di stampo comparatistico, intende offrire una visione inedita delle nozioni di “intepretazione” e “vaghezza semantica”, ritendendo la prima, a tratti, una conseguenza della seconda.
Tra il mare dell'oggettività e lo sguardo dell'archeologo. Ambivalenze dell'anti-antropocentrismo di Italo Calvino
Authors: Lobascio Marco
Published: September 2024

Nelle opere letterarie di Italo Calvino si trovano elementi tematici, come i personaggi semi-umani della trilogia degli Antenati o delle Cosmicomiche, a cui è possibile attribuire una funzione strategica in senso anti-antropocentrico. Il presente articolo discute tale funzione alla luce sia dei saggi di Calvino, in cui le connotazioni negative di certe metafore naturali contrappongono il caos del non-umano all'ordine razionale umano, sia di aspetti generali della poetica dell'autore, che favoriscono un'interpretazione dei personaggi ibridi in senso allegorico. Considerazioni analoghe si applicano a varie scelte formali e narrative, come l'uso della descrizione in Palomar, la cui prospettiva straniante sul soggetto è qui messa in relazione al valore calviniano della leggerezza. Dall'analisi dei temi e dei meccanismi retorici, stilistici e narrativi qui presi in esame, emerge un anti-antropocentrismo complesso e ambivalente, che oscilla fra la messa in discussione della centralità del soggetto e un'ansia di separazione fra umano e non-umano.
Multimodality and Semiotic Codification in Dante's Inferno
Authors: De Benedictis Raffaele
Published: September 2024

In the Divine Comedy there are key-textual categories of communication identifiable as modes that interact with one another in a multimodal manner. Multimodal configurations contribute to the creation of meaning. The Inferno prepares the groundwork for a multimodal articulation and semiotic codification of meaning throughout the three cantiche. Dante's Comedy is essentially a digital representation (language-as-writing), but it has also inspired artists to reproduce it through sound and visual representations, thus reinterpreting it in the language of icons. Under the semiotic lens, we will attempt to show how the written text is not completely digital but contains features that are applicable and shared with other modes that allow for multimodal codifications, potentially hosting new epistemic paths which may fruitfully contribute to the critical debate on Dante's Comedy.
Intervista a Claudio Morandini, autore del romanzo Neve, cane, piede
Authors: Ceccagnoli Patrizio
Published: September 2024

Questa intervista al romanziere italiano Claudio Morandini è incentrata su quella che, con ogni verosimiglianza, è a tuttora la sua opera di maggior successo, sia di critica che di pubblico, il romanzo Neve, cane, piede, recentemente ristampato in una versione accresciuta di nuovi capitoli presso l'editore Bompiani. Vincitore del premio Procida-Isola di Arturo-Elsa Morante nel 2016, il romanzo di Morandini si presenta come un'originale riflessione sul tema del rapporto tra uomo e ambiente, inserendosi in una lunga e nobile tradizione che è stata chiamata la “letteratura di montagna”. Tra gli altri temi, Morandini affronta la questione del suo legame con l'opera di Dino Buzzati e con la letteratura svizzera, in particolare i romanzi di Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz e Max Frisch. Pur negando una deliberata volontà di inserirsi apertamente in un filone della letteratura legato a temi ambientali in chiave ecologista o animalista, l'autore ribadisce l'importanza del personaggio del cane, che rappresenta un “ibrido tra stato di natura e civiltà”.

Antiplatelet therapy is a cornerstone in managing patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to prevent thrombotic complications. Prasugrel and clopidogrel are two commonly used agents, but their comparative efficacy and safety remain a subject of ongoing research, particularly in elective PCI cases. Objective: This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of prasugrel and clopidogrel in patients undergoing elective PCI, focusing on clinical outcomes such as minor and major bleeding, stent thrombosis, and mortality. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan between January and July 2024. A total of 200 patients undergoing elective PCI were included in the study. Patients received either clopidogrel (300 mg or 600 mg) or prasugrel (60 mg) as part of their antiplatelet therapy. Clinical outcomes were assessed, including minor and major bleeding, thrombosis, and death. Statistical analyses were performed using Pearson correlations, chi-square tests, and regression analysis. SPSS software (version 25.0) was used for data analysis, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: Of the 200 patients, 48.5% were male, and 51.5% were female, with the majority aged between 61 and 70. Prasugrel (60 mg) was the most commonly used loading dose (35.5%). Minor bleeding events were significantly higher in the prasugrel group compared to the clopidogrel group (p = 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in major bleeding, stent thrombosis, or mortality between the two groups. A positive correlation between minor bleeding and stent thrombosis was noted (p = 0.048), while regression analysis confirmed that prasugrel did not significantly increase the risk of major bleeding or death. Conclusion: Prasugrel was associated with a higher incidence of minor bleeding compared to clopidogrel, but both agents exhibited comparable safety profiles in terms of major bleeding, thrombosis, and mortality in patients undergoing elective PCI. The findings suggest that prasugrel can be considered a safe and effective alternative to clopidogrel in elective PCI, with careful patient selection to minimize bleeding risks.

Published: September 2024

Screening of prevalent bacterial pathogens for antibiotic susceptibility profiles in different regions is necessary.  E. coli and other pathogens are so common in our environment that it is essential to monitor trends in antibiotic susceptibility regularly. Objective: The aim of the study was to find out the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of E.coli isolates in patients with urinary tract infection. Methods: This study was conducted at the Saidu Group of Teaching Hospital Swat after taking permission from the ethical committee of the institute.  We collected a total of 900 urine samples from males and females of all ages for culture and sensitivity.  The Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method was used to assess the antibiogram on Mueller-Hinton agar. The plates were kept in incubator at 37°C for the 48 hours, and the inhibition zone was measured. The antibiogram was performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method applying various antibiotics. The bacterial strains were classified in to three majors groups on the basis of antibiotic susceptibility pattern resistant (R) sensitive (S), and intermediate (I). Data was statistically   analyzed presented in the tables and figures. Results: For culture and sensitivity testing, a total of 900 urine samples from patients with suspected UTIs were obtained from the several departments' inpatient and outpatient to the microbiological lab.  Substantial bacteriuria was noted in 250 (27.7%).  The most prevalent bacteria isolated was E.coli (55%) and its antibiogram was carried out. Ampicillin had the highest proportion of resistance (96.1%), followed by Ceftriaxone (91%), Moxifloxacin (87.1%), and Ceftazidime (75.5%).  Whereas it was sensitive to Fosfomycin (94.2%), followed by Sulzone ( 84.3%), Imepinem (84.3%) and Amikacin (78%). Conclusion: It was concluded from the current study that the most prevalent bacteria causing urinary tract infection was E.coli, and this bacteria showed remarkable resistance against Ampicillin   Ceftriaxone, Moxifloxacin, and Ceftazidime. The most used bacterium antibiotics for therapy were Fosfomycin, Imepinem and Amikacin. Therefore, antibiotic susceptibility should be considered before therapy.

The Emergence of Chinese Popular Music in Vietnamese Lyrics (nhc Hoa li Vit), 1979-1995
Authors: Chik Nicholas
Published: September 2024

This paper studies the cultural phenomenon of nhc Hoa li Vit, a (sub)genre of nhc Vng music that blends Chinese melodies with Vietnamese lyrics which first gained prominence among the Vietnamese diaspora in the 1980s. The paper traces the historical and cultural origins of nhc Hoa li Vit in translations and adaptations of Chinese popular music, outlining three major historical periods. The first period spanning from 1979-1986, encompasses the genres emergence in Vietnamese refugee communities following the Sino-Vietnamese War, influenced by the popularity of Cantonese wuxia TV dramas. The second period from 1986-1995 marks the genres commercial flourishing due to the i mi policy. The final period after 1995 marks the fundamental transformation of the genre following the normalization of relations between the United States and Vietnam, when, energized by the possibility of returning to Vietnam, nhc Hoa li Vit shed the final vestiges of the melancholic and sentimental style it inherited from wartime nhc Vng and became its own genre. This paper examines the importance of nhc Hoa li Vit in shaping the Vietnamese exiled identity and analyzes how the practice of translation allowed the diasporic community to give expression to its refugee experience. The paper helps uncover a new kind of musical fusion that developed from an exiled culture in a transpacific context.
Study on Cyberpunk Style in Movies
Authors: Chen Shuo
Published: September 2024

Cyberpunk is a fusion of cybernetics and punk, also known as digital punk. It originates from science fiction and primarily explores the future development of humanity in relation to artificial intelligence. The purpose of this thesis is to study the influence of cyberpunk style on film-making's theme, graphics, and post-effects. The movies theme mainly centers around anti-Utopian ideas, exploring the future fate of mankind and artificial intelligence with a pessimistic prediction. It explores the potential threat that artificial intelligence poses to the future society under the civilization of high mechanical development so as to criticize the contemporary society and cause self-reflection of human beings. Cinematography mainly utilizes colorful sci-fi elements such as skyscrapers and neon lights to create a futuristic world. In terms of color matching, dark scenes use low saturated dark colors to create a gloomy rainy day feeling while bright scenes employ reds, purples, and other highly saturated hues for a magical atmosphere that increases contrast between light and dark colors for visual impact. The post-film picture effects and background sound effects are very important for cyberpunk movies. Picture effects adjust the hue, saturation and lightness of the bright parts and enhance 3D buildings and cars to create a futuristic intoxicating atmosphere. Meanwhile, the music combines industrial, rock and other music styles to collide with special effects and sound effects, creating a virtual future space. Analyzing the western movie The Matrix and the Chinese movie Heaven Sent confirms our viewpoints and put forward expectations for human society. Ultimately, it comes to the conclusion that cyberpunk is not only a style, but also a way to convey new ideas.
A BERT-based with fuzzy logic sentimental classifier for sarcasm detection
Authors: Wang Tianyou
Published: September 2024

This study explores the challenging task of sarcasm detection in text, a crucial aspect of sentiment analysis in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Sarcasm, characterized by irony and nuanced language, often complicates the interpretation of emotional tone in text. To address this, the study employs a hybrid model that integrates BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) with fuzzy logic. BERT's deep semantic understanding is combined with the sequential processing of LSTM and the flexible decision-making capabilities of fuzzy logic. The model's performance is validated using multiple datasets, demonstrating a significant improvement in accuracy, particularly in detecting subtle and context-dependent sarcasm. This research contributes to the advancement of sentiment analysis, offering a robust framework for handling complex linguistic expressions in various NLP applications.
The Function and the Principle about How Self-healing Materials are Used in Metal Wear Condition
Authors: Zhou Jinlin
Published: September 2024

Due to the wide range of metals used in different industries, the increase in the service life of metals and metal materials has always been a more important research direction. Relevant research has proved that self-repairing materials in lubricants can help machines to repair themselves by utilizing self-modifying properties, thus restoring them to a better working condition. This paper mainly summarizes and analyzes the experimental materials by means of literature review, and discusses the working principle of such materials and the application of self-repairing materials in industrial production. The article also confirms through its analysis that during the operation of the machine, the composite lubricant reacts with the metal surface and forms a thin film, which results in a substitution reaction. In this way, the damaged metal is replenished by the composite material and the machine can return to normal operation. However, this method can only be applied to machines that work for a short period of time, and is not able to solve the problem of large areas of severely damaged machines, so the relevant materials to assist in the modification of the metal still need to be continuously developed and researched.

Published: September 2024

This paper presents a novel AI-driven approach for enhancing chip design verification through automated bug detection in Register Transfer Level (RTL) code. The proposed method integrates advanced machine learning techniques with domain-specific knowledge of chip design to address the challenges of increasing complexity and time-to-market pressures in modern integrated circuit development. Our system employs a comprehensive data preprocessing pipeline that effectively captures syntactic and semantic features of RTL code, feeding into an innovative attention-based neural network model. The model demonstrates superior bug detection accuracy across diverse design categories and bug types compared to traditional methods and existing AI-assisted approaches. Extensive experimental evaluation on a large-scale dataset of RTL designs, including both open-source projects and industry collaborations, validates the effectiveness of our method. The proposed approach achieves a 95% accuracy in bug detection, with a 28-35% reduction in verification time when applied to real-world chip design projects. The paper addresses the interpretability of AI decisions in the context of chip design, presenting novel visualization techniques that enhance trust and facilitate adoption among RTL designers. While acknowledging current limitations, we discuss future research directions, including integration with formal verification methods and extension to system-level verification scenarios. This work contributes significantly to AI-assisted chip design, paving the way for more efficient and reliable development of complex integrated circuits.

Published: September 2024

In today's information age, the diversification of interaction methods has led to a focus on building interactive cognitive capabilities within the design academic community. While these methods promote social multi-modal integration, they also introduce challenges such as increased cognitive learning costs, complexity, and unclear feedback. This article explores a new paradigm for visual function compensation in interactive cognitive poster design, utilizing the "behavior-meaning-object" effectiveness from the SAPAD theoretical framework and integrating the TOPSIS method for evaluation. The goal is to objectively assess design solutions and guide designers in creating more effective strategies. Additionally, the research addresses systematic approaches for planning functional compensation and interaction scales in visual communication, offering insights to enhance the current direction of interaction design in China. Developing China's interactive cognitive framework is a long-term process that involves resolving differences through sharing, communication, and mutual promotion. Designers should focus on the connections between system elements and prioritize audience needs, aiming to create design solutions that bridge gaps in interaction models.
Design and implementation of an intelligent medical mattress system
Authors: Xu Boyu
Published: September 2024

This article introduces the design of a smart mattress system that uses an embedded pressure sensor design to read pressure data from different parts of the patient, thereby monitoring key body parts prone to bedsores. In addition, the system can assist medical staff in rescuing. Sensors are distributed according to different body parts, and each part is divided into a part of the mattress to make it modular, so as to record data from different parts in a modular way. The system can recognize the patient's posture, including supine, side (left and right), and alert caregivers when it detects prolonged pressure on a specific area, which helps prevent bedsores and falls. The implementation of this intelligent bed system is ideally suited to address the mounting demands within nursing homes and elderly care facilities.
Transformative Shifts: From Puritanical Rigidities to Cosmopolitan Flexibilities in Islamic Education
Authors: Suhaimis Suhaimis , Amrizon Amrizon
Published: September 2024

This journal explores the evolving dynamics within Islamic educational paradigms in the context of increasing global interconnectedness. The study investigates the transition from rigid, puritanical educational models, which emphasize strict adherence to traditional interpretations and practices, towards more flexible, cosmopolitan approaches that accommodate diversity, inclusivity, and global perspectives. Through a comprehensive literature review and qualitative analysis of case studies from various Islamic educational institutions worldwide, the research identifies key factors driving this shift. These include the influence of globalization, advancements in information and communication technologies, and the growing recognition of the need for educational systems that prepare students for the complexities of a pluralistic world. The article argues that embracing cosmopolitan flexibility in Islamic education does not necessitate the abandonment of core religious values. Instead, it advocates for a balanced approach that integrates traditional Islamic teachings with contemporary pedagogical methods and curricula that promote critical thinking, intercultural understanding, and ethical reasoning. By highlighting successful examples of transformative educational practices, the study aims to provide a framework for policymakers, educators, and scholars to develop and implement educational models that reconcile the rich heritage of Islamic knowledge with the demands of modern, globalized societies. The findings suggest that such an approach not only enhances the quality and relevance of Islamic education but also fosters a more inclusive and cohesive global Muslim community.

Moringa oleifera is known has high phytochemical content and biological activity. Differences in geographic and agroclimate can influence the phytochemical content and bioactivity of plants. This study aims to analyze differences in phytochemical content, antioxidant and antibacterial activity of Moringa oleifera leaves obtained from two different environments. Phytochemical content was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively, bioactivity analysis was carried out by testing antioxidant activity and testing antibacterial activity. Molecular docking predictions for the 3 dominant compounds in both samples as antioxidants was also carried out to Cytochrome c peroxidase. The research results showed that both samples from both locations contained alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, tannins, saponins, phenols, flavonoids, coumarins, quinones and glycosides. The total phenol and flavonoid content, and antioxidant of sample M1 showed higher than sample M2. From the FTIR analysis, it was confirmed that there were OH, C=O, CO, aliphatic and aromatic carbons functional groups. The most dominant compound in sample M1 based on GC-MS analysis is Levoglucosan (13.6%), while the dominant compound found in sample M2 was 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, (Z,Z,Z) (16.38%). Molecular docking analysis exhibited that the compound on both sample have promising antioxidant and antibacteria activity. Based on the results, it was revealed that differences in geographical location and agro-climatic conditions influence the phytochemical and bioactivity in Moringa oleifera leaves. These results can be used as a reference in selecting sources of active compounds for pharmacological purposes.

Published: September 2024

Background
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that imposes a substantial burden on caregivers of patients with the condition. There is a lack of research in sub-Saharan Africa assessing the burden of informal caregiving in epilepsy.

Aims
This study investigated caregiver burden among carers of people with epilepsy, focusing on its patterns, severity, correlates, and impact on caregiver quality of life.

Methods
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 246 adult attendees (patients with epilepsy and their caregivers in a 1:1 ratio) at a neurology outpatient clinic. Patients aged 18 to 65, and their caregivers, who were at least 18 years old, were recruited consecutively. A socio-demographic questionnaire and the National Hospital Seizure Severity Scale assessed demographics and illness severity, respectively. The socio-demographic questionnaire, Zarit Burden Interview, and WHO Quality of Life-Bref scale were used to assess the carers’ demographics, burden of care, and quality of life, respectively.

Results
The mean burden score was 26.5 ± 13.3. Fifty-three caregivers (43.1%) reported a mild-to-moderate burden, while twenty-one (17.0%) reported moderate-to-severe and severe burdens. Caregiver burden was significantly negatively correlated with carers’ quality of life across almost all domains, with the strongest inverse correlation in the psychological domain (r = -0.4, p = 0.01). There was no statistically significant relationship between caregiver burden and respondents’ demographics or clinical variables, except for the epilepsy severity index of the patients (p = 0.01).

Conclusion
This study provides valuable insights into the burden of care experienced by family members of individuals with epilepsy, highlighting the negative impact on the caregivers' quality of life. Healthcare providers should focus not only on alleviating the suffering of patients with epilepsy but also consider the well-being of caregivers in their treatment plans.

Aim/Background: Anxiety disorders are frequently seen in children and adolescents and cause significant loss of functionality and a decrease in quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting treatment response in children and adolescents with anxiety disorders.
Methods: 340 children and adolescents aged 6-18 years who applied to child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinics of a university hospital between May 2018 and May 2023, diagnosed with anxiety disorder, and used only drug treatment were included in the study by retrospectively examining of the patient files. The age, gender, diagnosis, disorder severity, treatment and treatment response, comorbid disorders, physical diseases, and their treatments of the patients were recorded.
Results: 116 of the patients were male, and 224 were female. While the most common diagnosis was generalized anxiety disorder (62.4%), the most frequently prescribed medication was sertraline (52.4%). Having specific phobia (p=0.026), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder comorbidity (p=0.029) and using atypical antipsychotics (p=0.037) were negative predictors of treatment response. Other variables did not have any predictive effect on treatment response.
Conclusions: Understanding the factors that influence treatment response in children and adolescents with anxiety disorders is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment and predicting the disorder's prognosis. Appropriate interventions addressing modifiable factors that have a negative impact on treatment response should be considered for treatment.
