Objective This study aims to determine the diagnostic utility of IL-18 for early diagnosis of AKI by comparing it with the routinely used marker serum creatinine.
Methods: This validation study was carried out in the Department of Pathology, Khyber Medical College, Peshawar from September 2021 to February’2022. A total of 156 patients with Acute Kidney Injury were recruited from the intensive care units of three Peshawar tertiary care hospitals. Serum and urinary samples were taken at the time of admission and 48 hours after admission to estimate Serum creatinine level and urinary IL-18. Comparisons were made between the diagnostic utility of Urinary IL-18, and serum creatinine using the paired t-test. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive values were calculated.
Results: In this study, 156 acute kidney injury (AKI) patients were included. The mean creatinine level on admission was 0.90 ± 0.26 mg/dl, and after 48 hours of admission, it was 1.38 ± 0.70 mg/dl. Similarly, IL-18 on admission was 130.14 ± 61.31 pg/ml while after 48 hours it was 290.32 ± 136.50 pg/ml. 
Conclusion: Due to high sensitivity and specificity, Urinary IL-18 can predict AKI 24-48 hours before the onset of renal injury and can be used as an early marker for this purpose.

اختيارات محمد السماوي وترجيحاته النحوية في كتابه ملتقطات الصحو في مستنبطات النحو
Authors: عريبي رغد , همتي شهريار , Malmir محمد , محسني علي
Published: June 2024

مزج محمد بن طاهر السماوي في كتابه بين مذاهب النحاة، فجاءت مسائله مزيجٌ من النحو الكوفي والنحو البصري ومن تابعهم من البغداديين والاندلسيين والمصريين من أصحاب المدارس النحوية، فيعتمد في كثير من الاحيان على المناسبة بين الفصول في عرضه للمسائل النحوية، على الرغم من أنَّ نسبة الآراء إلى اصحابها من الأمور المهمة التي يقتضيها البحث العلمي، إلا أنَّ الأعم الأغلب في كتابه قد جاء دون إشارة إلى المذهب أو نسبة الآراء إلى أصحابها، ولعل منهجه هذا في عرض الآراء يعود إلى عدم رغبته في خوض غمار الخلاف كما فعل كثير من النحاة، أو قد يكون الخلاف عنده ليس ذا منفعة أو فائدة، وأحيانا نجده يكتفي بعرض المسألة، ويختار لنفسه مذهباً مغايراً لما ورد في أمهات الكتب- وهذا ما سنوضحه في موضعه- أو يذكر رأياً موافقا لأحد المذاهب لكنه لا يشترط فيه ما ذهبوا إليه، أي أنّه يكتفي بعموم التقعيد لا بخصوصه، وأحيانا تجده يرجح مذهبين في آنٍ واحد دون ترجيج أو اختيار أحدهما .
       وما تقدم يجعل للسماوي أسلوباً مميزاً في عرضه للمسائل النحوية، وفي الوقت نفسه لا يخلو نحوه من بعض المآخذ، كالاستطراد في بعض المسائل الخلافية، وايضاً الغموض والاختصار في عرض المسائل، وأكثر مما يؤخذ عليه تركه كثير من المسائل النحوية -لا سيما الخلافية منها - خالية من الشواهد، التي قد تعين القارئ على فهم المسألة، وهذا ما نلمسه بوضوح في كثير من فصول أبوابه الثلاث.
Overcoming Shyness and Bullying in EFL Classrooms: Strategies for Promoting Communicative Competence among Iraqi Learners
Authors: Burhan Najm
Published: June 2024

The improvement of communicative competence in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is essential for Iraqi learners to involve effectively in personal, academic, and professional contexts. However, learners often face obstacles like shyness and bullying that could hinder their language acquisition and participation in classroom activities. This research examines strategies to overcome those obstacles and endorse a supportive learning environment that nurtures communicative capability amongst Iraqi EFL learners. Through a wide-ranging literature review, the study inspects theoretical perspectives from the affective filter hypothesis, sociocultural theory, and motivational backgrounds to comprehend the multidimensional factors influencing language learning practices.  The conceptual model offered integrates individual factors (shyness, anxiety, motivation), social features (bullying, peer relationships, classroom climate), and pedagogical methods to explore their relationship in developing communicative competence. The research theorizes that targeted interventions, like affective strategies, anti-bullying programs, and supportive learning techniques, can alleviate the negative impacts of shyness and bullying, thereby enhancing learners' communicative capabilities. The findings have important implications for EFL teaching practices in Iraq, highlighting the importance of creating inclusive classrooms, applying communicative language teaching approaches, cultivating peer support, and addressing socio-cultural effects. Eventually, this study contributes to the body of knowledge on endorsing communicative competence and presents applied references for educators, policymakers, and shareholders in the arena of EFL education in Iraq.

Importantly, the study underscores the necessity of instructors' comprehensive understanding of TBLT for successful integration within literary classes, highlighting the crucial link between pedagogical proficiency and effective classroom implementation. This research provides unique insights into TBLT dynamics within Bangladesh's tertiary-level literary education, emphasizing the transformative potential of teachers' expertise in enhancing the language learning experience and offering valuable implications for pedagogical practice.
Transforming the Landscape of Higher Education in Bangladesh: Teachers’ Perspectives on Implementing Outcome-Based Education (OBE)
Authors: Khan Milon Md Rashed , Imam Md Hasan , Muhury Priyanka
Published: June 2024

The landscape of higher education in Bangladesh has notably transitioned from a traditional teacher-centered model to a student-centered approach that emphasizes achieving specific outcomes. This study examines the significant effort to implement an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum at the tertiary level in Bangladesh. Using qualitative methods, the research explores the perspectives of four Bangladeshi teachers on the integration of OBE, particularly in light of the curriculum policies established by the Bangladesh Accreditation Council (BAC). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations, then categorized, coded, and analyzed for themes. The findings reveal that teachers have both positive and negative views on the adoption of OBE in their classrooms. Positive outcomes include enhanced ability to design and refine instructional materials and establish learning objectives that meet students' needs and goals. Teachers also noted that OBE principles facilitate active engagement in learning and teaching processes, adaptable to various classroom settings. To successfully shift from a teacher-centered to a student-centered approach, the study suggests that teachers need to focus on creating interactive classrooms, selecting relevant materials, setting clear learning objectives, fully understanding OBE concepts, and implementing these through pair and group activities.
Pedagogical Complexities in Multicultural History Classrooms in Botswana Senior Secondary Schools
Authors: Makgoba Molemogi
Published: June 2024

Botswana is a pluralistic society, yet its education system is tailored from a homogenous dimension. This paper interrogates the competence of history teachers in teaching multiculturally diverse classrooms. The study examined the challenges faced by History teachers in multiculturally diverse classrooms and the pedagogical approaches that could be used to combat that state of affairs. The study was pursued using the theoretical framework of Critical Pedagogy which ideologically advances that education within multicultural societies must be democratic and take into account social justice and diversity issues. The study implored the qualitative research methods and was pursued within 12 (N=12) senior secondary schools in 7 (N=7) educational regions in Botswana. A total of 36 (N=36) teachers and 120 (N=120) students participated in the study. The results indicate that the history teachers have no training on how to teach multiculturally diverse classrooms. Such a scenario end up frustrating both teachers and students since a lot of them end up feeling pedagogically isolated in the teaching-learning process. Therefore, there is need to rethink teacher training amongst the many factors which could help ameliorate this state of affairs.

“LA SOCIOEDUCADORA FUE LA PRIMERA PERSONA QUE SENTÍ QUE ME ACOMPAÑÓ”: FUNCIONES SUBJETIVANTES DEL ACOMPAÑAMIENTO INSTITUCIONAL EN LA BIOGRAFÍA DE UN JOVEN EN CONTEXTO DE PRECARIEDAD
Authors: GHISIGLIERI FRANCISCO , CARDOZO GRISELDA , GRINBERG SILVIA
Published: June 2024

El artículo presenta reflexiones y articulaciones conceptuales acerca de las funciones subjetivantes que efectúan profesionales de instituciones sociales y educativas en el acompañamiento de jóvenes en contextos de precariedad. Se recuperan aportes teóricos del psicoanálisis, el ámbito educativo y la sociología para realizar una aproximación situada a la manera en que se entraman las presencias institucionales en el relato de vida de un joven de 18 años de edad. Los resultados resaltan la capacidad que tienen los vínculos institucionales de producir interrupciones en procesos desubjetivantes en curso y abrir a nuevos horizontes de vida, a partir de apuntalar la re-elaboración de experiencias traumáticas y la recomposición de un tejido sociosimbólico subjetivante.

Variaciones genotípicas del Virus del Síndrome de las Manchas Blancas (VSMB) aislados en langostinos de cultivo de Perú
Authors: Ramírez Beder , Guevara Mervin , Saavedra Yuliana , Montoya Vanessa , Serna María
Published: June 2024

El virus del síndrome de las manchas blancas (VSMB), es uno de los principales patógenos de langostinos peneidos reportado a nivel mundial. Desde su primera aparición hasta la actualidad, el VSMB ha mostrado una notable capacidad para alterar su estructura genética, lo que ha dado lugar a diversidad de genotipos. Con el objetivo de detectar las variantes genotípicas del VSMB presentes en el cultivo de langostinos de la costa norte del Perú (Región Tumbes), en esta investigación, se evaluaron 89 muestras de branquias y postlarvas de langostinos infectados con el VSMB que fueron colectados entre los años 2014 y 2021. El análisis fue realizado mediante la PCR (reacción en cadena de la polimerasa) y secuenciamiento de regiones variables del ADN, ubicados en los marcos de lectura abierta (ORFs= open reading frame) 75, 94, 125, 14/15, 23/24 y un gen transposasa presuntiva. En comparación con los genomas de referencia del VSMB, todas las muestras analizadas presentaron deleciones de 5138 pb en el ORF 14/15, de 11110 pb en el ORF 23/24 y de 1338 pb en un gen transposasa presuntiva. A nivel de los ORFs 75, 94 y 125, se observó variación en la cantidad de secuencias repetitivas de 6 a 8, 1 a 3 y 2 a 13, respectivamente; esta variación permitió detectar hasta 8 genotipos de VSMB presentes en los langostinos de cultivo de la zona norte de Perú. El hallazgo inicial de estos genotipos representa un logro significativo que sentará las bases para futuros estudios epidemiológicos del VSMB en langostinos de cultivo y silvestres en esta región geográfica.

Published: June 2024

Based on the theory of social exchange and uses and gratifications, this study explores the factors contributing to knowledge sharing behavior in social media. A structured questionnaire is utilized to gather data (365) from active social media users, and a structural equation model is then used to analyze the data. The results confirm that the reciprocity, functional, social integrative and hedonic values have significant positive influence on intention to share knowledge. The intention to share knowledge has a favorable impact on trust and knowledge sharing behavior. However, this study finds trust has no direct effect on knowledge sharing behavior. The study's findings may help managers and promoters of virtual communities and organizations regulate and promote information sharing behavior while encouraging members' readiness to share knowledge and putting a strain on loyalty. The paper concludes with specific theoretical and practical contributions for promoting and supporting vibrant and productive social relationships in a virtual community.

The three key affective and cognitive factors that affect language learning are learning strategy, self-efficacy, and learning anxiety. The ability to speak English is becoming more and more important, particularly among students in higher vocational colleges in China. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of learning strategy, self-efficacy, learning anxiety and speaking competence among Chinese college EFL students in Heilongjiang province, China. It further seeks to understand whether anxiety acted as a mediating variable in the relationship between learning strategy and speaking competence, between self-efficacy and speaking competence. This study proposed a model that incorporates learning strategy, self-efficacy, anxiety, and speaking competence for English language learners. A survey questionnaire was used to gather data from college students. The questionnaires were sent to 493 Chinese college students. This study utilized a random sampling approach. The data analysis tools used in this survey are Process v4 and SPSS. The results showed learning strategy, learning anxiety and self-efficacy had a significant relationship with speaking competence. Anxiety mediated the relationship between self-efficacy and speaking competence, learning strategy and speaking competence. Thus when learners have a high degree of self-efficacy, they have a low level of English language anxiety and the more strategies students use, the less anxiety they have, resulting in a more excellent speaking performance.

New Political Phraseology in Bulgarian Public Speech
Authors: Stalyanova Nadezhda , Krejcova Elena
Published: June 2024

This text explores the potential for updating the phraseological fund of the Bulgarian language in the Bulgarian public discourse and examines the influence of different types of updates on the specifics of the functioning of the given phraseological units in public speech. The most visible updates are those that clearly introduce new elements into the meaning of the original sustained phrase, but at the same time retain the obvious connection to the original language unit. Phraseological units, which are generally distinguished by semantic indivisibility, stability of their lexical composition, invariable structure, imagery, emotionality and expressiveness, are subject to dynamic changes occurring in Bulgarian language in recent years. We direct our interest to stable expressions, in the composition of which a new component appears as a manifestation of lexical dynamics, which replaces an already established one, or an additional element appears in the structure of a phraseology, i.e. our attention will be directed mainly to the so-called lexical updates of the phraseological fund. In the text, we trace the change (structural and semantic) in a number of phraseological units in the Bulgarian language, in which the entry of the lexical component kopeyka is observed. The excerpted material is from two corpora – CLASSLA-web.bg (Bulgarian web) and the corpus of parliamentary speech ParlaMint corpus: https://www.clarin.si/ske/#concordance. The examples extracted from the corpora are relevant for tracking the changes we are interested in in the phraseological fund of the modern Bulgarian language.

Introduction:Bracing and physiotherapy in Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, are closely linked to heightened levels of psychological distress.Objective:The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of AIS patients and their quality of life.Subjects and Methods: This study encompassed 60 patients aged 13.85 ± 1.87 years,exhibiting mild to severe AIS. All subjects adhered to a Schroth exercise program for a minimum of three months, with 26 of them additionally undergoing conservative treatment with braces. Each participant completed the ISYQOL questionnaire and an individual form detailing clinical and epidemiological characteristics. Results:A notable correlation was observed concerning the use of braces.Patients utilizing a brace demonstrated higher ISYQOL scores,indicating a lower HRQoL,compared to those exclusively following Schroth exercise programs. HRQoL exhibited positive correlations with the age at diagnosis,height,age at menstruation onset, and duration of Schroth exercise treatment. HRQoL displayed negative correlations with age,weight,duration of brace treatment, maximum angle trunk rotation , and maximum Cobb angle. The study indicated that lumbar curves were associated with a higher QoL.Conclusions:The use of a brace was found to have a negative impact on HRQoL.

There is no disputing the fact that Nigeria is a heterogeneous society, comprising peoples of different ethnic, linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Interestingly, the cords that bind most Nigerians, in spite of these cleavages, have been some seemingly ‘insignificant’ ideas, concepts and issues like their unmatched passion for football. Apart from the social import/impact of the love for football, the economic situation in the country seems to have brought on them a common fate and an uncommon unity. Until recently, Africa’s biggest economy, Nigeria was in a recession, being its first in 20 years. Unfortunately, hyperinflation experienced in the past few years also increased the spate of the ugly trend. It is against this backdrop that the MMM Ponzi scheme made a grand and triumphant entrance into the Nigerian investment market in 2016. Obviously, quite a lot has been written concerning the MMM speculative scheme which eroded the Nigerian financial space. Both the conventional and the social media were awash with the various foreseeable gains and pains associated with the scheme to the individual investors. In a departure from this narrative, this essay focuses on the social integration value, the scheme engendered in the Nigerian society through its networking. The methodology employed consists of desk research including, inter alia, analysing books, journal articles and newspaper articles. In addition, websites from several local and international organisations relevant to the study were also utilised
