Authors: Shinde Yash , Shinde Priti , Shinde Pranjal , Shidore Rani , Daingade Priya
Published: January 2025

Objective: - This study explores the therapeutic
applications of aspirin, a compound with a rich
history rooted in its derivation from willow bark, in
various diseases. Over time, aspirin has become a
cornerstone in modern medicine due to its versatile
mechanisms of action, primarily the inhibition of
platelet aggregation and COX-2 pathways. These
properties have enabled its widespread use in the
management of cardiovascular diseases,
cerebrovascular conditions, cancer prevention, and
pre-eclampsia. Its multifaceted benefits highlight
its indispensability in both acute and preventive
medical strategies.
Result: - Aspirin's efficacy in significantly reducing
the risks of thrombosis, heart attacks, and strokes
by modulating platelet activity. It also shows
potential in oncology, particularly in lowering the
incidence and progression of gastrointestinal
cancers, through COX-2 inhibition and other
cellular mechanisms. Additionally, in pregnancy,
aspirin aids in preventing pre-eclampsia by
enhancing placental blood flow and minimizing
hypertensive complications. However, its use is
accompanied by risks, including gastrointestinal
bleeding and hypersensitivity reactions, which
necessitate careful patient evaluation and dose
optimization.
Conclusion: - Aspirin remains a vital
pharmaceutical agent, offering substantial benefits
in the prevention and management of a wide array
of conditions. Despite its remarkable contributions
to modern medicine, its associated risks highlight
the importance of judicious use. Continuous
research into its mechanisms and newer
applications promises to enhance its therapeutic
profile while mitigating adverse effects, ensuring
its sustained relevance as a critical tool in
pharmacotherapy.

Authors: Jayalekshmi J Jayalekshmi J , N. B. Patel N. B. Patel , J. M. Kakadiya J. M. Kakadiya
Published: January 2025

Bioindicators, encompassing a diverse array of
organisms such as plants, plankton, animals, and
microbes, provide valuable insights into ecosystem
health and environmental fluctuations.Advances in
environmental contamination research have
highlighted the potential of bioindicators as
sensitive and effective tools. Identifying species
that can accurately indicate environmental
disruptions and their effects on biodiversity is the
core focus of bioindicator research. This review
focuses on the role of insects as a valuable resource
for assessing environmental contaminants,
exploring their potential in detecting and
monitoring pollutants. Insects are particularly
suited for assessing the impacts of anthropogenic
activities on ecosystems due to their proximity to
toxic elements in soil, water, and air, which
facilitates the detection of environmental
pollutants.As key indicators of environmental
changes, insects have been the central focus of our
study, particularly in monitoring soil, water, and air
quality. The majority of insects, such as beetles,
ants, honeybees, and butterflies, are crucial
biological indicators in this study, as they are
highly sensitive to environmental changes and
effective in monitoring pollutants.

Published: January 2025

The expansion of Islamic hotels is increasingly attracting attention from industry players and scholars in the hotel sector. While some researchers have studied the attributes of Islamic hotels, research examining these attributes from the perspective of the Quran and hadith has been lacking. This study aims to fill this gap by reviewing translations of the Quran and a database of hadiths to gather relevant attributes of Islamic hotels. The study employed a thematic analysis of selected verses and hadiths to identify key attributes. The results indicate that every action is evaluated based on intention, and the prohibition of improper conduct, welcoming and honouring guests, and creating a peaceful environment are essential components of the spiritual aspect of hospitality. These findings highlight the profound spiritual and ethical dimensions of Islamic hospitality. The insights from this study are crucial for developing a culturally sensitive and ethically grounded hospitality industry, particularly in regions with significant Muslim populations. Further research can extend the attributes of Islamic hospitality, provided they conform to Sharia law principles. This study’s scope focuses on general Islamic teachings, applicable across various geographical and cultural contexts within the Muslim world.

Assessing the impact of the metacognitive pedagogical cycle on adult EFL learners’ proficiency and awareness: Evidence from Chilean classrooms
Authors: Cancino Marco Octavio , Oyarzún Natalia
Published: January 2025

The benefits of metacognitive instruction for the improvement of students’ L2 listening comprehension and metacognitive awareness have been documented in the literature. However, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of a process-based approach such as the metacognitive pedagogical cycle (MPC) on less-skilled English as a foreign language (EFL) learners in contexts with reduced out-of-classroom interaction. Therefore, the present quasi-experimental study sought to assess the impact of the MPC on the listening comprehension and listening metacognitive awareness of 75 low-proficiency adult EFL learners. Participants were divided into an experimental group, which received MPC instruction, and a control group that received regular listening instruction over a twelve-week period. Pre- and post-listening proficiency and metacognitive awareness test results revealed that the experimental group significantly increased their proficiency and metacognitive awareness scores in a more consistent and robust manner than the control group. Additionally, learners who were exposed to MPC instruction outperformed the control group in almost all aspects of metacognitive awareness. Results indicated that less skilled learners could benefit from a metacognitive approach to listening instruction in the selected EFL setting. Pedagogical implications are discussed.

Preparation of activated carbon sorbent from highly saline waste phytomass
Authors: Staf Marek , Pohořelý Michal
Published: January 2025

The study presented here solved the problem of very low specific surfaces, which are achieved when using the standard method of physical activation of brown macroalgae (Phaeophyceae) waste. The material consist-ing of crushed thallus residues from the processing of macroalgae for food purposes contained 14.6% of ash, which consisted mostly of Na, K, Mg and Ca salts. This material was first subjected to slow pyrolysis at a rate of 10 °C.min–1 to a final temperature of 450 °C, at which 19% condensate, 40% gas, and 41% solid residue were obtained on a dry basis.
The pyrolysis residue then served as an input raw material for the subsequent activation step. Three alter-native activation procedures performed by steam in a ver-tical fixed-bed reactor were compared. In the first of them, the pyrolysis residue was heated to 800 or 900 °C in an inert atmosphere (N2), and at this temperature it was exposed to steam. Under the given activation conditions, which are otherwise fully satisfactory for other types of phytomass and dendromass, the salts present in the sam-ple led to an underdeveloped porous system. It was thus possible to prepare only products with a specific surface area (BET) of a maximum of 15 m2 g‒1.
In the second procedure, the pyrolysis residue was washed with a larger volume of distilled water and, after filtering under vacuum and drying, was steam activated. After activation, the product inside the reactor was washed with water, removed and then washed again un-der vacuum. This procedure led to a product with a spe-cific surface area of 400 m2.g-1.
In the third activation procedure, the pyrolysis resi-due was heated to 300 °C in an inert atmosphere and hy-drated with steam at this temperature for 30 minutes. This was followed by heating to the final activation tempera-ture and re-dosing of steam. The product obtained was washed with a large volume of distilled water and vac-uum filtered. By applying the described method, at an ac-tivation temperature of 800 °C combined with steam dos-ing for 30 minutes, the highest specific surface area (BET) of 675 m2.g-1 was achieved, and at the same time the product yields were higher than in the above proce-dure. If the same procedure used a temperature of 900 °C combined with only 2 min of steam introduction, a BET surface area of 636 m2.g‒1 was achieved, but the overall yield of activated product increased from 17 to 25% (cal-culated for the entire process including pyrolysis). This procedure was therefore found to be the good compro-mise between BET surface area and yield.

Asam askorbat, suatu vitamin yang larut dalam air, dapat teroksidasi oleh faktor lingkungan dan pembuatan mikrokapsul dengan enkpasulat yang tepat menjadi sangat penting untuk meningkatkan karakteristiknya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan dua tipe enkapsulat Pharmacoat terhadap karakteristik mikrokapsul asam askorbat. Mikrokapsul asam askorbat dibuat dengan metode penguapan pelarut dengan menggunakan variasi konsentrasi dua tipe Pharmacoat sebagai enkapsulat, yaitu F1 dan F2 menggunakan Pharmacoat 606 dengan rasio asam askorbat-Pharmacoat 606 berturut-turut 1 : 1 dan 2 : 3, sementara F3 dan F4 menggunakan Pharmacoat 615 dengan rasio asam askorbat : Pharmacoat 615 berturut-turut 1 : 1 dan 2 : 3. Etanol digunakan sebagai pelarut polimer dan asam askorbat, parafin cair sebagai fase minyak, dan Span 80 sebagai emulgator. Karakteristik mikrokapsul yang dievaluasi, meliputi penetapan kadar air, uji perolehan kembali, distribusi ukuran partikel mikrokapsul, uji stabilitas terhadap paparan cahaya, dan morfologi mikrokapsul menggunakan Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan seluruh formula mikrokapsul memiliki kadar air adalah sekitar 1-3 %, dan distribusi ukuran partikel mikrokapsul pada rentang 250-500 μm. Efisiensi penjeratan mikrokapsul F1, F2, F3, dan F4 berturut-turut adalah 75,67, 86,88, 82,02, dan, 93,72%. F4 memiliki efektivitas paling naik dalam mengurangi oksidasi asam askorbat dari pararan cahaya. Fotomikrograf SEM menunjukkan F4 memiliki morfologi paling baik. Kesimpulannya, mikrokapsul yang dibuat dengan rasio asam askorbat: Pharmacoat 615 (2 : 3) menunjukkan stabilitas terhadap paparan cahaya dan morfologi paling baik.

Pemeriksaan profil lipid dari serum sampai saat ini masih merupakan pemeriksaan yang digunakan untuk menentukan risiko terjadinya penyakit kardiovaskular di kemudian hari. Kadar High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) menggambarkan lipid yang berperan dalam mencegah terjadinya penyakit kardiovaskuler. Adipositas dalam pemeriksaan komposisi tubuh menggambarkan akumulasi lipid dalam jaringan, dan terdiri atas persentase lemak tubuh dan lemak visceral. Penelitian ini mempelajari korelasi antara kadar HDL serum dengan adipositas jaringan. Subyek penelitian merupakan subyek yang sehat, merupakan karyawan dari suatu institusi pendidikan dengan tingkat aktivitas fisik yang serupa. Pemeriksaan komposisi tubuh dilakukan dengan metode Bioimpedanceanalysis (BIA). Pemeriksaan kadar HDL dilakukan dari serum puasa dengan metode enzimatik kolorimetrik. Analisis korelasi dilakukan dengan Spearman correlation test dengan menggunakan program Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa subyek penelitian memiliki kadar HDL dalam kategori normal. Persentase lemak tubuh dan lemak visceral sebagian besar subyek penelitian berada dalam kategori normal, tinggi, dan sangat tinggi. Median kadar HDL adalah 49,00 mg/dL. Median dari rasio lemak visceral dan lemak tubuh total adalah 0,40. Korelasi antara kadar HDL dan rasio lemak visceral dan lemak tubuh total bermakna (P= 0,027) dengan koefisien korelasi sebesar - 0,4. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat korelasi lemah antara adipositas jaringan yang ditunjukkan dengan rasio lemak viseral terhadap persentase lemak tubuh, dengan parameter lipid serum yaitu kadar HDL.

Ankle sprain merupakan salah satu cedera muskuloskeletal yang paling umum terjadi. Sekitar 30% kasus dapat berkembang menjadi chronic ankle instability yang dapat membatasi aktivitas penderita secara signifikan. Chronic ankle instability (CAI) didefinisikan sebagai episode instabilitas ankle yang berulang dan terjadi 6-12 bulan pasca cedera awal. Anamnesis, pemeriksaan klinis dan pemeriksaan penunjang radiologis sangat diperlukan untuk mendapatkan diagnosa dan membedakan instabilitas ankle anatomis dan fungsional. Perbedaan antara keduanya sangat esensial untuk menentukan tata laksana yang sesuai. Apabila terjadi kegagalan tata laksana konservatif, maka tindakan operatif diperlukan untuk mengembalikan stabilitas ankle. Rehabilitasi pada kasus CAI dapat mengoptimalkan proses normalisasi stabilitas sendi serta merestorasi fungsi ambulasi dan keseimbangan.

An extended model for the formation of the number of generations for the Amur River summer chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta)
Authors: Ostrovsky V. I.
Published: January 2025

We analyzed the reasons for deviations in the number of summer Amur chum salmon offspring from the theoretical «parent-offspring» relationship described by the Ricker equation. It is shown that the strongest deviations are caused by precipitation in the year of spawning and in the year of downstream migration of juvenile fish. The second most influential factor is the pre-winter air temperature in the year of spawning. These both factors are positively correlated with the magnitude of deviations. It is proposed an equation describing the relationship between the number of offspring and the number of parents, precipitation and air temperature, which satisfactorily simulates the dynamics of the number of offspring. The results are discussed in connection with similar results from studies of other salmon populations and species.
Problems of selection of explanatory variables for the dynamics of generation numbers of Pacific salmon
Authors: Ostrovsky V. I.
Published: January 2025

The problems of choosing a model type when studying the causes of generation size variability, as well as the consequences of attempts to approximate multifactor processes with single-factor models, are considered using the example of sockeye salmon from the Okhotsk region. It is shown that single-factor models in a multifactor space give a distorted idea of cause-and-effect relationships. A model of generation size formation for sockeye salmon has been developed, including the number of parents, variability in precipitation, and air temperature in the freshwater phase of juvenile life as explanatory variables. The combined effect of parental size and weather factors explains more than 90% of the variance in generation size for sockeye salmon.
