The article represents the results of our study of associations between polymorphic gene variants of the CYP3А4
cytochrome – *1B (rs2740574) and *1G (rs2242480) – and effectiveness and safety of chemotherapy of 115 drug-resistant
pulmonary TB patients. We established that patients with polymorphic variants of the CYP3A4 gene – *1B (rs2740574)
and *1G (rs2242480) – more commonly demonstrated sputum conversion under bedaquiline-containing chemotherapy,
including patients with multi-drug resistance (MDR). However, these patients more commonly developed hemato-, hepato and cardiotoxic adverse drug reactions. The obtained results do not exclude the association between the above-mentioned
polymorphic alleles *1G(rs2242480) and *1B (rs2740574) of the CYP3A4 gene and slow phenotypic bedaquiline metabolism.

Aim. A comparative analysis of clinical, radiological, and laboratory features and treatment effectiveness in patients with
pulmonary TB and diabetes mellitus (DM) comorbidity depending on the spectrum of M. tuberculosis drug resistance.
Materials and methods. We conducted a retrospective-prospective cohort study of data from 157 patients who received
treatment at the Central TB Research Institute in 2019–2023. The patients were selected based on inclusion/non-inclusion
criteria. They were divided into three groups considering drug resistance spectra: group 1 consisted of 39 drug sensitive
patients, group 2 consisted of 63 patients with multidrug resistance (MDR), and group 3 consisted of 55 patients with pre extensive drug resistance (pre-XDR). Results. In group 3 patients younger than 40 years prevailed, while in group 1 patients
older than 40 years prevailed. Newly diagnosed TB was more frequent in group 1, though one third of these patients
were retreatment cases. TB relapses and previously treated cases were more common among MDR and pre-XDR patients.
Infiltrative TB prevailed among patients with drug sensitive TB and DM, fibrocavernous TB prevailed among patients with
pre-XDR TB and DM, tuberculomas occurred in 1/5 patients of all groups. Lung cavities occurred in most patients of all
groups; however, they were more frequent and larger in patients with pre-XDR TB and DM. Sputum positivity was detected
in more than half of patients of all groups, but more often – in group 3. Extension of drug resistance affected treatment
effectiveness: in patients with pre-XDR TB and DM treatment effectiveness was significantly lower compared to patients with
drug sensitive TB and DM. Conclusion. The extending spectrum of drug resistance in patients with TB and DM comorbidity
results in more severe symptoms of pulmonary TB and lower treatment effectiveness.

The Danger of a Single Chronotope
Authors: Sahni Anmol
Published: January 2025

In The Black Atlantic, Paul Gilroy popularized the ship as a salient chronotope for examining the Black diasporic transnational alliances across the Middle Passage because ships sailing across the Atlantic metonymically represented Pan-Africanism and transcultural relations in the writings of intellectual activists like W. E. B. Du Bois. Jettisoning the clichéd chronotope of the ship and portraying the alternative chronotope of the airport as a space that restricts mobility for Black diasporic subjects, this article argues that Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel Americanah represents the unique chronotope of the hair salon as a spatiotemporal organizer of the narrative depicting the diverse lived experiences of the new Black diaspora. Close reading to demonstrate how Adichie’s experimental aesthetics augments extant theoretical models of the Black diaspora (e.g., Brent Edwards’s Décalage), the article concludes by proffering that Ifemelu’s blog posts challenge the claims of The Black Atlantic, which are supported by a framework that Michelle Wright describes as the “Middle Passage Epistemology.”

Microstructural Analysis and Optimization of Asbestos Free Brake Pad
Authors: VIJAYASANKAR Vinayak Arun Sankar , PARAMASIVAM Suresh
Published: January 2025

A friction lining material that is free of asbestos has been developed using sea shell powder (with a diameter of 125 μm), phenolic resin as the binder, and alumina metal filings and graphite as fillers. Prior to pulverization, the sea shells were oven-cured at 100 °C for five hours to eliminate excess moisture. The resulting pulverized sea shell, along with phenolic resin, alumina metal filings, and graphite, was used to create samples, which were evaluated according to the ASTM D 4703-03 standard. The newly developed asbestos-free brake pads incorporating sea shell powder (SS) and four other components underwent physical, chemical, and Thermal Gravimetric-Differential Thermal Analysis (TG-DTA) assessments, comparing them with commercial brake pad materials. Morphological examinations of worn surfaces indicated various forms of wear, including abrasion, adhesion, grooving, and delamination. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images showed that the worn surfaces of the composite with 35 wt.% SS powders exhibited a smoother finish with fewer cracks, suggesting reduced wear. Taguchi's analytical approach (L16 orthogonal array) was employed to assess the coefficient of friction and wear rate under different tribological parameters. Additionally, a statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to identify significant compositions for optimal brake lining performance. The ANOVA tables revealed that the regression models were valid as the P-values were less than 0.05 for a confidence level of 95 %.
Nonaqueous Gel Casting of AlN Ceramics using Epoxy
Authors: HE Yixuan , WANG Xiaohong , LU Wenzhong
Published: January 2025

The AlN ceramics manufactured by a nonaqueous gel casting process were studied. It was shown that trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether (TMPGE) and tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) were suitable for the gel casting process through a nucleophilic addition reaction. This system cured at room temperature and avoided oxygen inhibition. The rheological behaviors of the slurries and bending strength of green bodies obtained under different conditions were investigated. Suspensions with a high-solid loading of 59 vol.% and low viscosity (678 mPa·s) were obtained with 1 wt.% dispersant, 20 wt.% TMPGE, and TEPA: TMPGE=1:5. The results showed that the bending strength of the green body is not only associated with the content of TMPGE, TEPA, and solid loading, but also the drying process. The bending strength greatly improved and reached 34.9 MPa after drying at 130 °C, which was strong enough for subsequent processing. With the increase of solid loading, sintered AlN ceramics exhibited higher relative density and thermal conductivity, reaching 99.6% and 152 W/(m·K) at 59 vol.%, while the optimized bending strength of 274 MPa was obtained at 55 vol.%. Meanwhile, complex-shaped ceramics without cracks were prepared.

An Artificial Neural Network-Based Caller Authentication and Identification Algorithm in Cellular Communication Networks
Authors: Sombo Bem , Apeh Simon Tooswem , Edeoghon Isi Arthur
Published: January 2025

Cellular communication companies have created tens of thousands of jobs within the industry. However, while business opportunities have expanded for legitimate enterprises, criminal gangs have also exploited the new business environment to further their illegal activities. Weaknesses in the authentication algorithm allow criminals to commit fraud while remaining anonymous, thereby facilitating wireless crime. This paper presents the development of an artificial neural network-based caller authentication and identification algorithm for cellular communication networks that addresses these weaknesses. Voice data were collected from volunteer participants and the Mozilla Common Voice (MCV) database. Voice feature vectors were extracted from the voice data using the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) technique. The extracted voice feature vectors were used to train a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network for voiceprint generation. The MLP neural network architecture was optimized through Neural Architecture Search (NAS) using the Neural Network Intelligence (NNI) toolkit. The optimized MLP neural network architecture was trained with the extracted voice feature vectors to generate a voiceprint generation model. The developed voiceprint model was then deployed to create an artificial neural network-based caller authentication and identification algorithm in cellular communication networks. The developed algorithm was evaluated in the cellular communication emulation setup using accuracy, false acceptance rate (FAR), and false rejection rate (FRR) as metrics. The results of the performance evaluation of the developed algorithm for authenticating first-time users of a new SIM and identifying third-party SIM users both showed 100% accuracy, 0% FAR, and 0% FRR. These results indicate that the developed algorithm has strong potential to prevent the use of black market SIMs and deter perpetrators from using third-party SIMs to access network services while remaining anonymous.

Authors: Özyer Begüm , Yavuz Selim Taspinar Yavuz Selim x
Published: January 2025

This study was carried out with the aim of detecting the defects on the surfaces of metallic products, which are frequently encountered in our daily lives and widely used in industry, with deep learning. Many metal products in the industry undergo different processes during the production phase. As a result of these processes, the detection of defects such as breakage, cracking, etc. on the surfaces of metal products is carried out by quality control personnel or production personnel. However, this error detection made by manpower both slows down production and causes overlooked errors. In order to easily detect these defects, in our study, we used a dataset consisting of 285 images in total with images of two different surface defects and images containing flawless metal parts and a CNN architecture, ResNet50 architecture, to defects. There are three classes in total in the dataset. Two of these classes consist of images of different types of defects on the surface of the metal piston part used in air conditioners, and one of them consists of images of perfect metal piston parts. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method was used to determine the features of the images. Precision, recall, F1-Score and accuracy metrics were used to measure the performance of the model. With the ResNet50 architecture, defects on the surfaces of metal piston parts are detected quickly and with high accuracy. As a result of the study, it was suggested that the proposed model can detect surface defects that occur in the usage areas of metal products in various sectors more quickly and accurately using deep learning. This shows that the quality control problems experienced in the industry can be reduced by using deep learning, saving time and manpower.

The study investigates how these faith-based financial tools contribute to poverty alleviation and social development, particularly amidst challenges such as inflation and financial system fragmentation. Positioned within the broader discourse on Islamic economics, this research evaluates the potential and limitations of these tools, offering new insights into their integration with modern financial systems. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through surveys, interviews, and secondary analysis, focusing on the effectiveness and scalability of zakat, waqf, and Islamic microfinance. The findings reveal that while zakat provides immediate relief to 70% of recipients, its long-term impact is constrained by inflation and a lack of integration with development programs. Waqf shows potential for sustainable development, especially in education and healthcare, but suffers from underutilized assets due to inefficient management. Islamic microfinance empowers 75% of beneficiaries with increased income but faces challenges of limited loan sizes and financial literacy. The study concludes that addressing inflation, improving governance, and integrating Islamic economic tools with conventional financial systems are essential for maximizing their impact. These recommendations provide a pathway for sustainable poverty alleviation and economic empowerment in Indonesia.

The increasing complexity and volume of cyber threats have placed significant pressure on traditional incident response (IR) systems, necessitating the adoption of more advanced technologies to detect, analyze, and mitigate attacks efficiently. One such technology is machine learning (ML), which offers the potential to transform incident response by automating threat detection, prioritizing incidents, and dynamically adjusting responses based on evolving attack patterns. This paper explores the integration of machine learning into intelligent incident response systems, focusing on its applications, benefits, and challenges. Through an in-depth examination of machine learning techniques—such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning—we highlight how these models can enhance various stages of incident response, including detection, triage, automated remediation, and post-incident analysis. Additionally, we discuss case studies showcasing the effectiveness of ML in real-world IR scenarios and identify key challenges, such as data quality, adversarial attacks, and model interpretability. The paper also proposes potential future directions, including hybrid ML models, human-in-the-loop systems, and advances in explainable AI, to further improve the reliability and transparency of ML-driven IR systems. Ultimately, this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how machine learning can augment incident response efforts and enhance cybersecurity resilience in the face of increasingly sophisticated threats.

Tahfidz or memorization of the Qur'an is a process to maintain, guard, and preserve the purity of the Qur'an which was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) by memorizing it outside the head so that there is no change and falsification and can guard against forgetfulness either in whole or in part. . The need for a structured method and a competent supervisor in memorization so that mistakes do not occur and the memorization process is easier. This study examines the Pakistani method applied in Ma'had 'Aly Imam Bukhari in the Syu'bah Lughah department in semester 4. The results obtained are that this method is quite effective to be used in carrying out the method of memorizing the Qur'an. Female students who graduated from high school or Islamic boarding schools can follow using this method. This research is a field study research that uses a qualitative descriptive approach. In data collection, this research is carried out by means of observation and direct interviews and applying the literature study method by studying and searching for data sourced from documents that are in accordance with the research topic. The data obtained is then processed and analyzed until conclusions can be drawn from all findings. All findings that have been analyzed are then described in the form of descriptive explanations to provide a broad, comprehensive, and in-depth picture.

Context.—

Digital pathology requires pathologists to assess tissue digitally rather than on an analog microscope, which has been the mainstay tool for tissue assessment for more than a century. The impact of different digital interaction configurations on pathologists’ performance is not well understood. This work focuses on the impact of the display window size for diagnostic assessment.

Objective.—

To determine the effect of digital image viewer window size on pathologists’ diagnostic performance when searching for tumors in lymph nodes while under a time limit.

Design.—

Six pathologists assessed 8 breast lymph node whole slide images using 4 digital image viewer window sizes (8, 14, 24, and 32 inches) for tumors in lymph nodes while under a time limit. Eye-gaze data were collected. Pathologists were subsequently asked to rate their preference of window sizes.

Results.—

The fraction of window not covered with foveated vision was significantly associated with window size ranging from 43% for 32 inches to 5% for 8 inches (P < .001). There was no statistically significant relationship between the number of false negatives or assessment time and window size (P = .21 and P = .28, respectively). The distance traversed per panning instance ranged from 301 pixels for 32-inch to 193 pixels for 8-inch windows (P = .002). All pathologists preferred the largest window size as it provided more context for diagnostic assessment.

Conclusions.—

Window size does not significantly affect pathologists’ diagnostic performance when searching for tumors in lymph nodes. However, pathologists adapted their slide navigation approach to accommodate the amount of context the window size permitted.

This study investigates the impact of Human Resource (HR) practices on organizational performance in the context of public and private schools in Kathmandu. With a focus on key HR dimensions such as recruitment, training and development, performance evaluation, and employee motivation, the research compares how these practices are implemented and their subsequent effects on institutional effectiveness and employee satisfaction. Data were collected through surveys and interviews with school administrators, teachers, and staff from both public and private schools. The findings reveal significant differences in HR practices between public and private schools, with private schools showing a higher emphasis on performance-based incentives and professional development programs, while public schools focus on standardized procedures and job security. The study concludes that effective HR practices are crucial for enhancing organizational performance, regardless of the school type. Recommendations are provided for policymakers and school leaders to adopt tailored HR strategies that align with their institutional goals and operational environments. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on HR management in the education sector and offers practical insights for improving school performance through strategic HR interventions.
