Published: January 2025

Background. Systems for self-determination of international normalized ratio (INR) may increase adherence to regular monitoring of hemostasis parameters in patients taking vitamin K antagonists. However, evidence of the effectiveness of self-determination of INR in real-world clinical practice in Russia is limited.
Aim. To compare the effectiveness of remote monitoring of INR using the CoaguChek® INRange coagulometer in patients who have undergone mechanical heart valve implantation with traditional INR control by measuring it in the outpatient department laboratory.
Materials and methods. A prospective study enrolled 101 patients receiving warfarin after a mitral or aortic mechanical heart valve prosthesis implantation. In Group 1 (n=51), conventional laboratory INR control was used; in Group 2 (n=50), patients monitored INR by themselves using a CoaguChek® INRange coagulometer. The follow-up duration was 1 year.
Results. Patients in Groups 1 and 2 did not differ in INR: 2.62 [2.45; 2.85] vs 2.6 [2.5; 2.8], respectively (data are presented as the median [1st to 3rd quartile]), and the time of INR in the therapeutic range: 66.7% [50; 78.6] vs 67.7% [53.2; 80.6]. The intervals between INR determinations in Group 1 were significantly longer: 30.5 [29.5; 31] days vs 20 [13; 25] days.
Conclusion. The CoaguChek® INRange system enables remote patient monitoring during continuous warfarin therapy and achievement of the target INR with a time in the therapeutic range comparable to that for patients with INR measurements in outpatient laboratories.

Al-Nadim’s (385 /995) Approach to Islamic Sects through his Monograph “al-Fihrist”
Authors: Mahmoud Ramy
Published: January 2025

Background and Objectives: The seeds of Islamic sects arose immediately after the death of the Prophet and the occurrence of wars between the companions, so each of these sects based their thoughts on a specific position they took in that war. When the number of sects and doctrines increased and different opinions spread in the Islamic faith, a group of Muslim scholars came out to record these opinions and write down the movements of the sects, whether geographically or historically, so as a result, what is called the Ilm al-Maqālāt arose, and this has become an essential part of many books written from the late second century Hijri calendar, some books were specially written in this field, such as the book of Maqālāt al-Islāmiyyin by Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari, while the Maqālāt became a part of other books. Methodology: Al- Nadīm is one of the authors who was concerned with the authorship movement during the three centuries of the Hijri calendar, so he intended to record all the books that fell into his hands in all fields, whether religious or non-religious. Al- Nadīm took care in all this to record the authorship movement of the famous Islamic sects, so he mentioned important information about Islamic sects such as Mu'tazila, Kharijites, Shiites and others, this information is related to the books written sometimes and other times related to the theologians themselves.
Main Results: Our article monitored Al-Nadim's interest in this aspect. Research Contribution: This article was divided into an introduction, a conclusion, and three main headings; the introduction mentioned information about al-Fihrist by al- Nadīm, while the main headings dealt with al- Nadīm's life and information about him, the second heading discussed the section on the theologians, and sects, and the last heading shed light on the sources used by al- Nadīm in this section. Conclusion: This study underlines the importance of al-Nadīm's work in documenting the intellectual and theological history of Islamic sects, providing a foundational reference for scholars in Islamic studies and historiography.
COMPARISON OF MATA-NI-PACHEDI ELEMENTS IN CONTEMPORARY WORK
Authors: Chandiwala Mansi A.
Published: January 2025

This ancient textile art form, known as Mata-ni-Pachedi, originates from Gujarat in India and brings with it profound cultural and spiritual importance. These fabrics, which were originally used as portable shrines, now function as visual storytelling, typically representing the goddess Durga or Kali via their imagery. Mata-ni-Pachedi is a traditional art form that draws inspiration from the storytelling traditions of the Waghari culture. It is traditionally constructed using hand-drawn images and natural dyes. This art form has developed into a contemporary practice over the course of the last several years, making use of both classic themes and current elements. Artists are increasingly extending beyond the realm of religious symbolism by incorporating social, environmental, and global issues into their work. In this case study, the change of Mata-ni-Pachedi is investigated by contrasting traditional features with modern interpretations. Particular attention is paid to topics such as motifs, symbolism, color palettes, linework, spatial arrangement, and thematic content.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the impact of tax policy on the welfare of producers, consumers, raw loads, and market size in an economy. The analysis techniques used are qualitative, descriptive and graphical to data obtained from macroeconomic literature and tax journals. The results of this study show that the implementation of tax policy can (a) create dead wight loss, (b) reduce producer welfare, (c) reduce consumer welfare, and (d) reduce market size which ultimately has an impact on decreasing government revenue from taxes. The causes of raw loads, decreased welfare of producers, decreased welfare of consumers, and changes in market size or decrease in government revenue from taxes, can be influenced by the level of elasticity of supply by producers or demand by consumers. In addition, it is also influenced by the level of tax rates charged to each economic actor. Based on the results of this study, it can be suggested to tax policy makers, to pay attention to the balance point between the level of elasticity and the level of tax rates for each economic actor

Exploration & Exploitation: A Unified Framework for Data Purification & Augmentation in Recommendation Systems
Authors: Junwei Cheng
Published: January 2025

In the context of recommendation scenarios, the utilization of data purification and data augmentation methodologies has demonstrated their efficiency in enhancing the quality of representations. Nevertheless, within an open environment, the constrained nature of interaction data and the diverse range of interaction intentions present formidable challenges, giving rise to insufficient generalization ability and generalization bias in these methodologies. To address this issue, in this paper we introduce Exploitation & Exploration: A Unified Framework for Data Purification & Augmentation in Recommendation Systems, which not only ensures the precise purification of current data but also delves into potential noisy data for further exploration. To be specific, based on the traditional collaborative filtering method calculating user-item correlation, we first implement an efficient multi-head SENet block to remove potential noise from the interaction data. After this, we deploy a diffusion module to remove the added adversarial noise based on its ability to denoise all kinds of noise. And finally we use mutual-learning method to coordinate two parts' learning. We conducted experiments on three publicly available datasets, evaluating our model against current state-of-the-art algorithms in recommendation robustness tasks. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of our model.

Authors: Maruanaya Hendrik , Brahmasakha Boonma
Published: January 2025

The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of differentiated learning through the integration of Quizizz, compared to the use of student worksheets, on vocabulary acquisition and language usage. This study utilized a quantitative, quasi-experimental research design to compare the effect of these two instructional approaches on EFL learners' learning outcomes and perceptions. The participants were 58 Grade 8 Junior High School students, divided into a Quizizz group (n=29) and a worksheet group (n=29). The Quizizz group received differentiated instruction using the interactive Quizizz platform, while the worksheet group used traditional student worksheets. Pre-test analysis revealed no significant differences between the groups. After the one-month intervention, post-test results showed statistically significant improvements in learning outcomes for both groups. However, the Quizizz group outperformed the worksheet group on vocabulary mastery and application (t=4.71, p<0.01), with higher average scores (M=85.05) compared to the worksheet group (M=81.26). The Quizizz group also exhibited more positive attitudes towards English language learning, demonstrating higher levels of motivation, engagement, enjoyment, and interest (F=1.196, p<0.01) than the worksheet group. These findings suggest that the integration of Quizizz into differentiated learning enhances student learning outcomes and fosters a more positive attitude towards English language learning compared to traditional worksheets. The results highlight the potential benefits of incorporating technology-based approaches into differentiated instructional practices.

Diphtheria is an infectious disease and often causes outbreak. Despite a significant global decrease in diphtheria cases due to effective vaccines, there's still a risk transmission for individuals who unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated. A positive culture for Corynebacterium diphtheriae was reported in a diphtheria suspect in Serang City and an outbreak investigation was carried out. This study aimed to investigate the outbreak, identify risk factors, and recommend control measures. Data were collected through interviews and field observations to close contacts consist of household contacts, neighbors and school and we reviewed immunization coverage from the Public Health Center. Based on the investigation, it was shown that a 6 years-old male with signs and symptoms of Fever, Sore Throat, Swollen Neck, Pseudomembrane, difficulty swallowing, mouth ulcers, cough and vomiting, and positive results for toxigenic corynebacterium diphtheriae var intermedius. Risk factors for transmission are low immunization coverage, high population density, and mobilization. No additional cases were identified, but some close contacts were at risk of transmission due to unvaccinated. We recommend implementing Outbreak Response Immunization (ORI) as a critical measure to interrupt transmission.

A two-layer biopolymer vascular graft (BVG) with an internal dimeter of 2 mm has been developed from bioresorbable materials: a synthetic polymer polycaprolactone and a high-molecular compound of natural origin — gelatin. BVG demonstrates a highly porous surface structure, physical and mechanical characteristics close to a natural blood vessel of a similar diameter, and water permeability of less than 10 ml/(cm2·min). The graft is biocompatible and, when implanted into the infrarenal part of the rat aorta, demonstrates blood flow parameters (systolic and diastolic velocity and resistance index) close to the corresponding parameters of the rat aorta. In vivo, the two-layer vascular graft is resistant to delamination, does not provoke an inflammatory reaction, and after 8 weeks of functioning, the formation of neointima on the surface of the BVG is observed against the background of the integration of the prosthesis into the surrounding tissues of the body.
