Published: April 2024

This study investigates the academic preferences of Grade 12 HUMSS students at Laguna University concerning English-related programs and their corresponding academic preferences in English. Utilizing questionnaire surveys, the study explores students' preferences in writing, speaking, and reading, as well as their inclinations towards specific English-related courses. The findings reveal that the majority of students exhibit agreement in their preferences for writing, speaking, and reading, as indicated by weighted averages of 3.94, 3.92, and 3.96, respectively. Moreover, students generally express agreement towards various English-related programs, with teaching English as a second language garnering the highest preference (mean = 4.01). Furthermore, R value indicates significant relationships between students' academic preferences in English and their preferences for specific English-related programs. While journalism shows a significant positive relationship with writing, reading, and speaking preferences, teaching English as a second language, theater arts, and majoring in English exhibit little to no significant relationship with students' academic preferences in English. These findings underscore the importance of aligning educational programs with students' interests and preferences to enhance their learning experiences in English-related fields.
Review on Thiazolidinone possessing heterocyclic analogues, their potential binding sites with Cyclooxygenase and Lipoxygenase; Their SAR and Docking studies for Anti-inflammatory activity
Authors: Kirtika Patel  , Aniruddhasinh M. Rana
Published: April 2024

This review summarizes the work done in the last few years to overcome the limitations and side effects of marketed drugs, including the structure, structure-activity relationship and molecular docking study of some thiazolidinone-based derivatives. Molecular docking analysis is useful in the prediction of binding affinity, the detection of fragments responsible for the interaction with enzyme binding sites, their modes of interactions with the active site, and the efficacy of compounds in inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LOX), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α). Inhibition might be a promising for the treatment of multifactorial diseases such as inflammation. Some of these compounds exhibit COX and LOX dual inhibition actions. This study discloses some structural features for binding to 15-LOX, COX, and TNF-α, thus providing the way to design new anti-inflammatory agents with better inhibition of these enzymes.

У статті наведені результати лабораторних досліджень показників гострої токсичності, сенсибілізуючої та подразнювальної дії за умов впливу біоцидного засобу «Йодосан» на основі йоду та молочної кислоти на моделі лабораторних тварин. Визначали показники гострої токсичності на клінічно здорових білих мишах. Препарат «Йодосан» вводили тваринам одноразово внутрішньошлунково (зондом) та інгаляційно (обробка кліток). Дослідження подразнювальної та сенсибілізуючої дії препарату «Йодосан» у різних концентраціях проводили на окремих групах клінічно здорових мурчаках шляхом щоденного нашкірного нанесення на спину та боки впродовж 30 днів та експозиції шляхом занурення хвостів тварин у аналогічних концентраціях впродовж 30 хв. У експерименті використовували сучасні гуманні методи догляду та використання лабораторних тварин. Визначено, що за одноразового внутрішньошлункового введення біоцидного засобу «Йодосан» середня летальна доза (LD50) для білих мишей становила 5515,0 мг/кг маси тіла. Доведено, що препарат «Йодосан» у формі 0,3 % розчину проявляє тимчасову подразнювальну і сенсибілізуючу дію та не має негативного впливу на показники кровотворення в організмі білих мишей. Отже, за підсумком результатів досліджень визначено, що препарат «Йодосан» не володіє кумулюючими та сенсибілізуючими властивостями, не чинить подразнювальної та шкірно-резорбтивної дії, не спричинює змін показників гемопоезу та не проявляє супресивну дію щодо росту і розвитку тварин, що вказує на екологічну безпечність та нешкідливість дослідного експериментального біоцидного засобу.

AfrAbia's silent struggle: Pesticides and Parkinson's disease unveiled
Authors: Mohamed Wael
Published: April 2024

AfrAbia consists of members from both the Arab League and the African Union. The historical and geographical effects connect the neighbouring regions of Africa and the Arab world on a cross-cultural level. AfrAbia experiences a greater prevalence of autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorders because of elevated rates of consanguinity. The AfrAbian neuroscience community has unique problems due to the widespread occurrence of mental, neurological, and substance-use disorders. The limited physician-to-patient ratio can lead to heavy workloads per clinician, fostering expertise in their field due to increased practice opportunities arising from the demanding workload. The heightened clinical exposure leads to the emergence of study topics relevant to the local context. It improves the feasibility of clinical research, benefiting both the African population and the Global North. To summarise, there are abundant prospects for clinically focused neuroscience research to enhance healthcare in AfrAbia.

Authors: Neilson Stuart , O'Kelly Jane , Doyle Jessica K. , Kenny Neil , O'Neill Claire , Butler Sophie , McDonald Joan
Published: April 2024

Background: This co-produced study explores the experiences of autistic students regarding their transition to and enrolment at an Irish Higher Education Institution (HEI). Autistic student's experiences of belonging, acceptance and support were explored, and the study was collaboratively conducted by autistic and non-autistic researchers at all stages of the research. Methods: A sample of autistic student participants (n=14) took part in flexible semi-structured interviews. Results: The findings of this study reveal diverse experiences across the participants in higher education, emphasising the need for inclusive approaches recognising autistic neurology and differences to support belonging and acceptance in university. The transition experiences for some participants were challenging with a lack of personalised and flexible support leading to anxiety and a lack of predictability. Participants also identified a range of challenges and barriers they experienced while navigating college life. These included learning environments they experienced as hostile due to sensory challenges on campus, a lack of understanding regarding autistic neurology among university staff and peers, inconsistency and inflexible pedagogical approaches used by academic staff, and stringent requirements to access disability support services. These barriers often led to students being unable to access support or choosing not to disclose their autistic status. Participants also found socialising and developing relationships with non-autistic peers challenging but reported that autistic student community groups, such as the neurodivergent society, were a very positive factor in supporting well-being, social acceptance and a sense of belonging. Other supports were specialist support staff, such as the Autism-Friendly coordinator and occupational therapist at student services. Discussion: The study highlights the importance of early guidance, systemic integration, and increased awareness among university staff. It underscores the role of structural support systems like DARE and Autism University Support Coordinators in easing transitions and supporting predictability and acceptance.

In this paper we present the architecture of the Kyber-E2E submission to the map track of CARLA Leaderboard 2.0 Autonomous Driving (AD) challenge 2023, which achieved first place. We employed a modular architecture for our solution consists of five main components: sensing, localization, perception, tracking/prediction, and planning/control. Our solution leverages state-of-the-art language-assisted perception models to help our planner perform more reliably in highly challenging traffic scenarios. We use open-source driving datasets in conjunction with Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) to enhance the performance of our motion planner. We provide insight into our design choices and trade-offs made to achieve this solution. We also explore the impact of each component in the overall performance of our solution, with the intent of providing a guideline where allocation of resources can have the greatest impact.
Day-to-day dynamics of facial emotion expressions in posttraumatic stress disorder
Authors: Ringwald Whitney R. , Feltman Scott , Schwartz H. Andrew , Samaras Dimitris , Khudari Christopher , Luft Benjamin , Kotov Roman
Published: April 2024

Facial expressions are an essential component of emotions that may reveal mechanisms maintaining posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, most research on emotions in PTSD has relied on self-reports, which only capture subjective affect. The few studies on outward emotion expressions have been hampered by methodological limitations, including low ecological validity and failure to capture the dynamic nature of emotions and symptoms. Our study addresses these limitations with an approach that has not been applied to psychopathology: person-specific models of day-to-day facial emotion expression and PTSD symptom dynamics. We studied a sample of World Trade Center responders (N=112) with elevated PTSD pathology who recorded a daily video diary and self-reported symptoms for 90 days (8,953 videos altogether). Facial expressions were detected from video recordings with a facial emotion recognition model. In data-driven, idiographic network models, most participants (80%) had at least one, reliable expression-symptom link. Six expression-symptom dynamics were significant for >10% of the sample. Each of these dynamics had statistically meaningful heterogeneity, with some people’s symptoms related to over-expressivity and others to under-expressivity. Our results provide the foundation for a more complete understanding of emotions in PTSD that not only includes subjective feelings but also outward emotion expressions.
A systematic literature review protocol: The adapted versions of the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale and Dementia Attitudes Scale
Authors: Cheng Chang , Liem Andrian
Published: April 2024

Background: Dementia, a global health concern affecting over 55 million people, demands increased awareness and education, particularly among diverse caregivers. The 27-item Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale (DKAS) is a reliable tool, developed in 2015, validated for assessing dementia knowledge. Subsequent confirmatory factor analysis solidified its applicability in diverse populations. The DKAS goes beyond biological aspects, exploring psychosocial dimensions of dementia. The 20-item Dementia Attitudes Scale (DAS), established in 2010, exhibits a two-factor structure and is validated for research purposes. This protocol will guide a systematic review that aims to explore the extent and variety of adapted DKAS and DAS versions in existing literature.Methods: A three-step systematic literature search will be conducted on medical databases including PubMed, Medline, PyschINFO, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL. The keywords will include search terms such as Dementia; Alzheimer; Knowledge; Attitudes; DKAS; DAS. Two reviewers will independently assess studies based on the eligibility criteria, extracting information on characteristics of the studies, along with details about the procedures of translation of the DKAS and the DAS, the sample and administration, ethical approval, and statistical analysis. The results will be synthesised qualitatively in a narrative format. Results: This research highlights the importance of understanding adapted versions of the DKAS and DAS. Anticipated challenges in this systematic literature review include dealing with the heterogeneity of adaptations and potential language barriers, which may impact the synthesis of findings and generalizability.Conclusion: Investigating the psychometric properties of these adaptations is crucial for enhancing credibility, allowing for cross-cultural comparisons and targeted strategies to improve dementia knowledge and attitudes among specific groups.
Dancing robots: Aesthetic engagement is shaped by stimulus and knowledge cues to human animacy
Authors: Darda Kohinoor Monish , Maiwald Aaron , Raghuram Tanvi , Cross Emily S.
Published: April 2024

An increasing presence of artificial intelligence (AI) and robots in the realm of art is moulding the aesthetic identity of the new-age consumer of art. Various questions arise with this development: do cues to the humanness of the origin of an artwork or artist influence our aesthetic preferences? Across two experiments, we investigated how the perception and appreciation of dance is influenced by cues to human animacy by manipulating (1) “agent form” (human-like or robot-like dancer); (2) belief about the source of the movement (human motion capture or computer animation); (3) the source of choreography (human- or computer-generated); and (4) belief about the source of choreography (believe a choreography is human- or computer-generated). Results pointed toward agent congruence –robot agents were preferred when the source of movement was thought to be computer animation (Experiment 1) and when the source of choreography was believed to be computer-generated (Experiment 2). Choreographies believed to be human-generated were preferred (Experiment 2) but participants could not accurately identify the actual source of choreography (Experiment 1). These results persisted above and beyond the effects of age, dance expertise, technological expertise, attitudes toward AI, and how familiar, complex, evocative, technically competent, or reproducible the dance was perceived to be. Dance expertise, technological expertise and attitudes toward AI independently impacted aesthetic judgments. Our findings provide valuable insights to the design and development of robotic dance by identifying the features of a dance choreography and audience characteristics that influence its aesthetic engagement. Additionally, along with creating more refined creative productions by using AI in a dancemaker’s toolkit, shaping people’s perceptions will be just as crucial for its reception and for better engagement.

Authors: Brown Arthur , Purba Rina Ade Citra
Published: April 2024

The skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) in Bungus Ocean Fishing Port has been evaluated for its sustainable potential using the surplus production approach method. The findings indicate a strong alignment with the Fox approach model. The estimated sustainable potential for skipjack is 471 tonnes per year, with an ideal effort of 45 trips annually. The analysis indicates a moderate utilization status, with an average skipjack utilization rate of 62.76%. It is evident that around 37.24% of its maximum sustainable potential, equivalent to 154.74 tonnes per year, is still unexplored. In addition, the catch rate of skipjack is relatively high at 96.14%, indicating that there is still some untapped potential, with 3.86% of the optimal fishing effort or two trips per year remaining unused. As a result, it is recommended that a total allowable catch of 341 tons be set in order to ensure the long-term sustainability of skipjack harvesting in the area.

This paper is based on ‘the status of Human Development Index (HDI)’ since 1990 to 2022. Even though the term "human development" is frequently used, its meaning varies depending on the region. The first time Human Development Report (HDR) was introduced in 1990s and new approach and indices for advancing human flourishing in the different time interval. The main purpose of this paper is to track the trends in national human development indices and to observe the circumstances surrounding human development. Primary source of secondary data used for meta-analysis of human development reports and related materials. The HDR emphases on a distinct issue that effect on measuring the multi-dimensional human development. HDI is getting popular to measure the development of a country with related to socio-economic status. It combines three critical indicators namely; education, life expectancy and standard of living. Nepal’s HDI position is 143rd ranked, among 191 countries in 2021. HDI reports shows in 2022 puts the 0.602 value. So, Nepal is Medium human development category. Between 1990 and 2022, Nepal's HDI value changed from 0.399 to 0.602, a change of 50.9 percent. Bagmati province scores the highest HDI value with (0.669) and Kathmandu valley has the highest HDI score with 0.622 values.

Authors: Gamde Matthias Solomon , Ogenyi Ochanya Destiny
Published: April 2024

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. The development of new blood vessel from preexisting vasculature is associated to the growth and metastasis of breast cancer. The present review aimed to highlight the mechanisms of angiogenesis and the progression of malignancy in breast cancer. Poor breast cancer prognosis correlate with increased micro-vascular density and factors that stimulate vascular growth. Inhibiting angiogenesis of this process reduce the oxygen and nutrient supply. Therefore, tumor angiogenesis is a strategic therapeutic target for preventing breast cancer. We suggest the use of angiogenesis inhibitors to be explored to interrupt the process of tumor development.

Authors: Roy Shipla , Ghosh Kaustav , Mandal Prakas Kumar , Das Suchibrata
Published: April 2024

Mycosis fungoides, also known as granuloma fungoides or Alibert-Bazin syndrome, is the most common form of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. In the early course of the disease, the skin lesions have significant overlap with many other primary cutaneous disorders like psoriasis, eczema, and tinea infections. Hence, early suspicion, prompt diagnosis by histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis, and regular follow-up are of utmost importance. Here we present a trilogy of cases of mycosis fungoides with varied skin lesions.
