Published: January 2025

The phytochemical and antimicrobial analysis of the crude extract of oil gotten from the seeds of Citrullus colocynths were carried out using standard methods. The result of the photochemical screening showed that the oil extract of Citrullus colocynths contains alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids and anthraquinone. The bacterial activity of Citrullus colocynths oil extract was assessed against a panel of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus aureus. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) results show that the microorganisms show zone of inhibition of 4.5 mm for Escherichia coli, 4.6 mm for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 5.9 mm for Salmonella typhi and 6.1 mm for Staphylococcus aureus at a concentration of 200 mg/ml, 400 mg/ml and 600 mg/ml. Notably, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibited larger zones of inhibition compared to Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) revealed three spots of the isolated compound, while MIC and MBC/MFC values were also determined with a concentration of 600 to 700 µg/cm3. Synergistic effects were assessed in combination with standard antibiotics, and mechanisms of action were investigated through chemical analysis. The research uncovered the antimicrobial potential of Citrullus colocynths seed oil, offering promising insights for further exploration and potential clinical applications. The FTIR spectrum of the isolated compound revealed characteristic peaks, including a strong absorption at 2855.1 cm-1 indicative of alkanes (C-H) and another at 3011.7 cm1 for C=C in aromatics. The presence of a broad absorption at 2922.2 cm-1 suggested the presence of C-H groups, consistent with a reported absorption at 3420 cm-1. Compound gotten from the GCMS analysis which include 1-Decene and Mesitylene have been used in the synthesis of medicine such as asthma, cancer, tuberculosis and jaundices for their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Authors: Zaman Jui Most Jayeda , Islam Dr. Md. Shahidul
Published: January 2025

The Indian Border Security Forces are killing Bangladeshi nationals on the border indiscriminately by violating international norms, treaties and agreements, which are gross human rights violations. Every state of the civilized world seriously maintains the standard of human rights and respect the international law. However, human rights have been violated by the Border Security Force (BSF) with immunity in the Bangladesh border by torturing, killing and abducting. Though India claims Bangladesh as a friendly state and several times assured not to kill Bangladeshi nationals in the border area, but they are continuously killing the Bangladeshi nationals. Even they do not feel regret and instead claim the reverse. The main objective of this research is to analyze the actual scenario on the Bangladesh border side from the perspective of international legal instruments. This is a qualitative research based on secondary data. This research recommends that the Bangladesh government should take proper actions to restrict human rights violations in the border area

Authors: Pismennikova E. I. , Yurkovskiy А. М. , Bobovich N. V. , Likhachevskaya M. А.
Published: January 2025

Objective. To evaluate the possibility of using ultrasound elastography to detect early manifestations of sciatic nerve mononeuropathy.

Materials and methods. A comparison of ultrasound elastography data of the sciatic nerve of 30 patients aged 46.0 (23; 54) years with clinical manifestations of sciatic nerve mononeuropathy (experimental group) and 30 patients aged 36.5 (29; 48) years without lower back pain back (control group) was made to achieve this goal.

Results. Assessment results of the diagnostic utility of ultrasound elastography as a method for diagnosing mononeuropathy of the sciatic nerve were as follows (with an asymmetry between the stiffness indices of comparable segments of the symptomatic and asymptomatic sides of more than 22%): AUC - 0,88 (95% CI (0,55; 0,99)), р=0,003; Youden index - 0.87, sensitivity - 87% (95% CI (0,5; 0,99)), р=0,0001; 100% (95% CI (0,5; 0,99)), р=0,0001.

Conclusion. Ultrasound elastography makes it possible to detect changes in the structure of the sciatic nerve in cases where a standard B-mode study does not reveal changes. The presence of clinical signs suggesting mononeuropathy of the sciatic nerve, in the absence of structural changes in the B-mode, should be considered the basis for performing ultrasound elastography in order to detect perineural and intraneural edema, as well as structural changes in the sciatic nerve.

Authors: Lipnitsky A. L. , Marochka A. V.
Published: January 2025

Objective. To study the dynamics of levels of complete blood cell count (CBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in donors with brain death.

Materials and methods. The prospective study included 106 organ and/or tissue donors with brain death, who received intensive care in the Anesthesiology and Resuscitation Department of Mogilev Region from January 1, 2020 to November 1, 2023.

Results. In deceased donors, from days 1 to 4 of intensive therapy, there was a statistically significant increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein. The level of CRP in the 1st day was equal to 13.3 (3.86; 29.1) mg/l, 2nd day – 85 (45.4; 140.6) mg/l (p < 0.0001 vs 1d), 3rd day – 135 .3 (73.6; 238.2) mg/l (p < 0.0001 vs 2d),4th day – 219.7 (112.7; 326.4) mg/l (p < 0.0001 vs 3d). At 5-7 days the level of CRP did not change statistically significantly. Donors with pneumonia had a statistically significant increase in band neutrophils, ESR and temperature compared to patients without this infection. At the same time, the level of CRP did not differ in these groups of donors without and with pneumonia: 134.5 (56; 261.5) mg/l and 145.6 (95.4; 268) mg/l, respectively (p = 0.4).

Conclusion. C-reactive protein in brain-dead donors can be used as an additional quantitative measure of the extent of brain damage and the severity of the systemic inflammatory response.

Authors: Nadyrov E. A. , Kravtsova I. L. , Shkliarava N. M. , Starodubtseva M. N.
Published: January 2025

Objective. To establish histological changes in lung tissue and the interrelationship of these changes with the properties of nanoscale blood particles in laboratory animals caused by local irradiation of their upper torso with X-rays.

Materials and methods. Local irradiation of Wistar rats was carried out using a X-RAD 320 Biological Irradiator (Precision X-Ray, USA) in doses of 0.1, 1, and 15 Gy. After a 3-week post-irradiation period, the activity of catalase and superoxide dismutase, sizes and zeta-potential of nanoparticles were measured in blood; a histological analysis of the lungs was carried out for rats non-irradiated and irradiated by various X-rays doses.

Results. A semi-quantitative assessment of the pulmonary fibrosis progression showed an increase in the fibrosis grade depending on the irradiation dose (rs = 0.5531, p˂0.0001). In the blood of irradiated animals, the size and zeta potential of nanoscale particles increased significantly after irradiation of rats with a dose of 0.1 Gy (p < 0.05). The activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase in the irradiated rat’s blood changed non-monotonically depending on the dose.

Conclusion. In the experimental animal model, significant changes in the body state were found after irradiation with a low dose (0.1 Gy) at different hierarchical levels. The changes are more pronounced in the blood antioxidant system and the system of nanoparticles of blood, less — at the level of composition and structure of the organ (lung). Further study of radiation and induced changes of blood nanoparticles is advisable not only to deepen the understanding of mechanisms of development of post-radiation pathological conditions but also to evaluate the efficacy of new radioprotective drugs in an experiment with a view to their subsequent introduction into clinical practice.

Authors: Lin Tan Chuen , Baharuddin Nurul Huda , Shamsi Nor Husnina Nor
Published: January 2025

Green bio-adsorption is a common practice in wastewater treatments. The adsorption capabilities of raw rice husks to remove copper ions from wastewater are studied. The adsorption capacity of raw rice husks can be determined empirically through experiments, but it can be time-intensive and expensive due to the inherent complexities of the adsorption process, significant labor and resources required. Simulation using the Fixed-bed Adsorption Simulation Tool, FAST is promoted as an effective prediction approach that offers a more efficient and cost-effective means of generating simulated result, providing a viable solution to the challenges associated with traditional experimental methods. This paper studies the impacts of contact time, initial ions concentration, and adsorbent dosage on the adsorption process via raw rice husks. The contact time is 30minutes, with 1- 50ppm initial copper ions concentration and 0.025-0.15grams adsorbent dosages. Simulated results display that percentage adsorption increases with contact time and reach adsorption equilibrium after 10 minutes with an optimum of 99.8% adsorption. The percentage adsorption is decreased with adsorbate concentration, where an optimum of 90% adsorption occurs at 1ppm. The adsorption capacity is increased with adsorbent dosages. The optimum adsorption percentage of 99.6%, occurs at 0.15grams. Langmuir Isotherm shows the best fit model in predicting the trendline of the breakthrough curve.
An Exploration of Teachers' Perspectives Regarding Global Citizenship Education: Case of Selected Rwandan Secondary Schools
Authors: Habumugisha Jeremie , Bazina Martin , Mvunabandi Dominique
Published: January 2025

This study examined teachers' perceptions of Global Citizenship Education (GCED) in selected Rwandan Secondary Schools. It took a qualitative approach and was guided by two theories: Bourdieu's theory of practice (1972) and Mezirow's theory of transformative learning (1978). A case study research design was adopted. The target population included all teachers from ten selected Rwandan secondary schools. Purposive sampling was employed to choose ten teachers (one from each school) to complete an open-ended questionnaire, five of whom participated in semi-structured interviews. Primary data was collected using open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, and thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that teachers have positive perceptions towards GCED. Teachers learned about GCED through self-documentation, which led to differing understandings and interpretations. Respondents also acknowledged GCED as an important thing that should be taken into consideration in the journey of implementing global sustainable development through educating students to be good global citizens and having an appropriate understanding of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The challenge highlighted by respondents is the lack of appropriate common documents and techniques to be used for integrating GCED into teaching and learning practices in line with the Rwandan Competence-Based Curriculum. This study concludes that teachers’ positive perceptions of GCED are found to be good and helpful when it goes hand in hand with the National Curriculum Framework explicitly, to facilitate its integration into teaching practices. The study recommended that the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) through The Rwanda Basic Education Board (REB) and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) in charge of education should provide training and teachers’ guides to harmonize their understanding of GCED and techniques of integration into teaching practices. It is also recommended that during the incoming curriculum revision, GCED should be integrated into the Curriculum explicitly, either as a course or as a crosscutting issue. Future studies should expand the scope of the study and highlight the interdependence of GCED and the implementation of global sustainable development.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the integration of ethical values in educational supervision using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach with the PRISMA method. Based on the analysis of 18 selected articles published between 2018-2024, several studies were found showing that ethical values, such as fairness, responsibility and transparency, play an important role in strengthening the effectiveness of educational supervision. The application of these ethical principles contributes to improving teachers' professional competence, building healthy relationships between supervisors and supervisees and creating an inclusive learning environment. Nonetheless, some challenges were identified, including the lack of clear ethical guidelines, limited training of supervisors and technical barriers in the implementation of technology to support supervision. This study emphasizes the importance of developing ethics-based supervision policies, intensive training and adequate technological infrastructure to support effective supervision. The results of this study provide practical insights for educational practitioners and researchers to strengthen the role of ethics in improving the quality of educational supervision.

Dental implants have become the preferred solution for
tooth replacement, offering both functional and aesthetic
benefits that closely mimic natural teeth. This research
investigates advancements in dental implant technology,
including material innovations, surface treatments, and
osseointegration techniques, which contribute to improved
patient outcomes. We conducted a systematic review of
material selection, design, and stress analysis and fatigue life
for better treatment. Additionally, this study explores the role
of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, zirconia alloys
and ceramic composites, in enhancing implant durability and
integration. The impact of digital dentistry tools, including
computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) for
custom implants, was analysed to determine their effect
on surgical precision and recovery times. Results indicate
that enhanced surface treatments and optimized implant
geometries significantly increase stability and longevity,
reducing complications associated with traditional implants.
These findings highlight the importance of interdisciplinary
advancements in improving the reliability of dental implants

Published: January 2025

The present study aims to adapt the Technoference in Parent-Child Relationships Scale (TPCRS) to Turkish culture by conducting validity and reliability analyses. The study group consists of the parents of 445 children between the ages of 3 and 6 attending preschool in the Denizli province. Expert opinions were consulted for the language validity and content validity of the measurement tool. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to ensure the construct validity of the scale. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, it was determined that the total variance explained was 40.89%, and the items were grouped under a single factor. The model fit indices obtained from the confirmatory factor analysis were calculated as x²/sd=1.828, RMSEA=.046, AGFI=.96, GFI=.97, CFI=.98, NFI=.96, and SRMR=.056. These values show that the scale gives acceptable and valid results. The Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient of the Technoference in Parent-Child Relationships Scale was found to be .72. For criterion-related validity, the correlations between the TPCRS's Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire and the Parental Attitudes Towards Technology Use Scale were analyzed. In addition, item-total and test-retest correlation coefficients were calculated at three-week intervals. The analyses for criterion-related validity and test-retest correlations provided sufficient evidence for the validity of the scale. It was observed that the item-total correlation values of the TPCRS ranged between .41 and .50. The results of the study show that the Technoference in Parent-Child Relationships Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool.

CURRÍCULO INTERCULTURAL E DECOLONIAL NO CENÁRIO DO ENSINO SUPERIOR BRASILEIRO E LATINO-AMERICANO
Authors: Da Silva Sidinei Pithan , Fischer Cossetin Vânia Lisa , Canabarro Ivo dos Santos
Published: January 2025

O presente estudo tematiza uma forma de pensar e desenvolver uma perspectiva de currículo que considere a interculturalidade e a decolonialidade no ensino superior brasileiro e latino americano. Do ponto de vista metodológico, consiste em uma abordagem ensaística, que após aprofundar uma reflexão acerca dos pressupostos conceituais fundamentais que envolvem a temática, narra e reflete sobre uma experiência pedagógica vivificada em um curso superior de medicina. A ideia de uma proposta de interculturalidade, no âmbito dos currículos universitários, em perspectiva decolonial, nos possibilita colocar em destaque um sentido de universidade que assume como proposta uma ideia de reflexão radical acerca do conhecimento, questionando os modos de colonialismo e eurocentrismo presentes na sociedade. Isso representa, no sentido das tradições críticas e pós-críticas do currículo, uma forma de questionar as relações de saber e poder, que atravessam a vida social e cultural, bem como a natureza das mediações pedagógicas, e dos projetos epistêmicos e formativos, que se materializam na educação superior. E, mais do que isso, possibilita instaurar sentidos humanizantes, marcas de uma nova postura crítica que pode florescer no âmbito da formação em saúde.// O presente estudo tematiza uma forma de pensar e desenvolver uma perspectiva de currículo que considere a interculturalidade e a decolonialidade no ensino superior brasileiro e latino americano.

Motor vehicles are the main means of transportation in Indonesia, with the number increasing every year. This increase facilitates mobility and boosts economic growth, but also leads to increased air pollution, congestion, and traffic accidents. Unroadworthy vehicle conditions are one of the main causes of traffic accidents, potentially jeopardizing the safety of motorists and other road users. To address this issue, it is important for students and teachers to understand the importance of vehicle roadworthiness, especially tour buses that are often used in study tour activities. This research aims to increase the awareness and understanding of students and teachers about the importance of vehicle roadworthiness through the socialization of “SIAP BERBUS (Tourism Bus Fleet Monitoring Information System)” using the MITRA DARAT application. This activity was carried out at SMA Negeri 2 Denpasar with an interactive counseling method that involved participants in discussions and hands-on simulations. The results of this activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of traffic safety and the use of technology to monitor vehicle eligibility. Participants showed the ability to apply the knowledge gained, so it is expected to reduce the risk of accidents related to study tour activities.
