Authors: Gorozhanin A. V. , Fedyakov A. G. , Lovyagina V. E.
Published: January 2025

The year 2024 marks the 180th anniversary of the birth of the great artist Ilya Efimovich Repin, the brightest representative of the realist direction of academic art. The artist’s life was overshadowed by a disease that deprived him of the ability to work with his right hand. I.E. Repin, with an irresistible will to create, re-trained to paint with his left hand. Repin’s disease was not diagnosed both during his life and after his death. This article contains information about Ilya Repin’s disease and differential diagnosis with pathology, which can be followed by motor disorders of the hand and atrophy of the hand muscles. The conducted analysis, supported by literature and lifetime photographs, postmortem cast of the artist’s right hand indicate that the cause of Repin’s disease was a progressive ulnar neuropathy. The given historical information about the diseases of peripheral nerves indicates that this diagnosis could not have been established during the artist’s lifetime.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of this research is to determine the current state of international legal scientific developments in the field of the use of artificial intelligence in the military sphere. The article, considering the leading scientific works of the last decade, identifies the main directions of the development of international legal thought regarding the use of artificial intelligence in the military sphere. The authors emphasize that among numerous studies on the international legal issues of the global information society, the topic of artificial lintel ligancy technologies holds a special place. At the same time, changes in relations between states, when it comes to the large-scale use of artificial intelligence technologies, organically influence the international order and, consequently, international legality and the international legal order. Since the potential use of artificial intelligence technologies transcends state borders and has a significant impact on inter-state relations, a logical question arises regarding their international legal regulation.
TRENDS AND PROSPECTS IN INTERNATIONAL HYDROGEN TRADE IN THE FACE OF NEW BARRIERS AND CHALLENGES TO GLOBAL COOPERATION
Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Kyiv, Ukraine, Yatsenko Olha , Iatsenko Oleksandr ,   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: January 2025

The article aims to identify key trends, prospects, and features of international hydrogen trade, focusing on new barriers and challenges to global cooperation. It is determined that the current growth of interest in hydrogen is associated with incentives in developed countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat global warming. It is argued that international hydrogen trade is becoming an important factor in countries' energy and economic transformation, and the hydrogen energy global market will be actively developed and supported. Still, it will have to overcome technical limitations to achieve significant success. Based on theoretical and empirical generalizations, the author concludes that hydrogen has significant explicit and latent potential for international trade and sustainable development of global energy and is a key factor in achieving global decarbonization goals. Still, the main challenges remain high production and transportation costs and the need to invest in innovative technologies. The study emphasizes that the oil refining and fertilizer industries mainly generate the demand for hydrogen. However, experts argue that in the future, sectors that are heavily dependent on fossil fuels, such as heavy industry, long-haul transportation, and air transport, may benefit most from hydrogen energy. Currently, the largest importers of hydrogen are Asian countries, driven by the region's demand for chemicals and the transportation, iron, and steel sectors in China and India. The main exporters of hydrogen in the future may be the countries of Oceania, North America, and the Middle East. The main barriers and challenges in international hydrogen trade are identified, which can be classified into economic, political, technical and infrastructural. It is emphasized that different regions of the world use unique strategies to develop the hydrogen market, and some cases are presented. The study concludes that the prospects for international hydrogen trade and the future introduction of hydrogen into the global economy will depend on the factors that affect a country's ability to produce and export hydrogen, which is multifaceted and interdisciplinary and covers many areas. For example, a country's hydrogen production may be limited by its oil resources, renewable energy potential, water resources, or land area, and difficulties in producing or exporting hydrogen due to its infrastructure, financial capacity, political climate, and government policies.

Authors: Gunturu Nagajyothi , Shankar Kundavi , Asokan Yamini , V. Geetha , V. Rashmi G. , Naaram Nithya M. , R. Hema Niveda K.
Published: January 2025

Background: To evaluate the effect of serum progesterone on the day of trigger administration to MII oocyte ratio on IVF/ICSI outcomes. Retrospective observational study in Institute of Reproductive Medicine, The Madras Medical Mission, Chennai.
Methods: 211 patients meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria were subjected to controlled ovarian stimulation with antagonist protocol and were serially monitored by ultrasound and hormonal blood tests and when at least 3 follicles reach 18 mm size, ovulation is triggered with HCG or GnRH agonist. Serum progesterone levels on the day of trigger were noted and oocyte retrieval done 35 hours after trigger injection and the no. of MII oocytes retrieved were noted. Embryo transfer was done on day 3 of oocyte retrieval. Adequate luteal support was given, Pregnancy test was done 16 days after embryo transfer.
Results: On evaluating 211 fresh ICSI–ET cycles, Roc curve was obtained and it showed that when compared with patients with P-trigger/MII oocyte ratio≤0.29 group, patients with P-trigger/MII>0.29 group had a lower clinical pregnancy rate, implantation rate and live birth rate.
Conclusions: The present study reveals that an elevated of P-trigger/MII oocyte ratio is inversely correlated with the probability of pregnancy, indicating that this ratio may be a reliable predictor of IVF outcomes. P/MII ratio could also play a key role in selection of patients for cryopreservation of all embryos (elective freeze-all policy) and subsequent transfer of cryopreserved/thawed embryos.
Appetite stimulant before meal aids faster recovery from illness: a comprehensive review
Authors: Tiwaskar Mangesh
Published: January 2025

Loss of appetite (LOA), or anorexia, is a significant health concern that can arise due to various factors such as age, illness, or medication, leading to nutritional deficiencies and impacting overall health and quality of life. LOA can be categorized as acute or chronic, with the latter often associated with serious underlying conditions, including cancer and chronic diseases. This review explores the multifactorial causes, prevalence, and health consequences of LOA, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention. A multi-centre survey conducted in India revealed a striking prevalence of LOA, affecting 93.1% of 15,914 participants, particularly those with infectious diseases. Effective management strategies are critical, with tools like the Council on Nutrition Appetite Questionnaire (CNAQ) aiding in the assessment of appetite. Pharmacological interventions, including appetite stimulants, play a role in enhancing food intake, while the combination of multivitamins, zinc, and lysine has been found to support appetite stimulation and improve nutritional status. Understanding the complex interplay of physiological, psychological, and pharmacological factors is vital in developing standardized guidelines for managing LOA. Increasing awareness regarding early diagnosis and timely management is essential to improve nutritional status and quality of life for affected patients.
A comparative study of Desarda technique versus Lichtenstein mesh repair for inguinal hernia at a tertiary care centre
Authors: Sahay Nidhi , Ahsan Manawwor , Sharma Santosh Kumar
Published: January 2025

Background: Inguinal hernias are one of the most common surgical maladies of all times. Surgical repair of inguinal hernias remains to be an ever-evolving field. Although Lichtenstein mesh repair is most commonly practiced now it is associated with chronic groin pain and higher cost. Desarda’s tissue based repair is a novel technique which is simple to perform, has low cost of procedure and low recurrence rates. The objective of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes in Desarda versus mesh repair of inguinal hernia.
Method: This was a prospective observational study. 70 patients were included out of which 35 patients who underwent mesh repair were placed in Group A and other 35 who underwent Desarda were placed in Group B. Duration of surgery, post-operative pain, surgical complications, duration of hospital stay and time taken to return to normal activity were assessed and compared.
Results: Post-operative complications were significantly less in Group B. Most common complications being seroma formation in both the groups. Duration of hospital stay was lesser in group B (5.05±1.1 days) than Group A (6.45±2.83 days). Patients in Group B also took less time to return to normal work than patients in Group A (p-value:0.00059). There was no recurrence in either groups.
Conclusion: Desarda repair is easy to perform and there is no risk of complications associated with a foreign body as in case of Lichtenstein mesh repair. It is better than mesh repair in terms of lesser post-operative complications, shorter duration of hospital stay and earlier return to normal activity. Desarda repair is comparable to mesh repair for inguinal hernia surgery.
Small bowel submucosal lipoma-induced secondary intussusception: a case report
Authors: Alsulimani Siraj O. , Aljuhani Arwa M. , Aljuhani Ibrahim M. , Alsufyani Eman Muhsini , Al-Sawat Abdullah
Published: January 2025

Intestinal lipomas are uncommon and benign tumors that rarely can lead to intussusception in adults. We present a rare case of ileo-ileal intussusception caused by a small intestinal (ileal) lipoma, resulting in intestinal obstruction. A 51-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department with a complaint of abdominal pain persisting for five days, along with nausea and vomiting. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed an intraluminal soft tissue lesion with a fatty component located in the distal ileum. Emergency laparoscopic exploration confirmed intussusception in the terminal ileum, which was subsequently resected with a 5 cm safety margin on both sides. The resected ileal segment was anastomosed end-to-end. The patient recovered well, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of an intraluminal intestinal lipoma. In cases of adult intussusception, consideration should be given to the possibility of a small intestinal intraluminal lipoma. Surgical resection is generally recommended for diagnosis and treatment of symptomatic intestinal lipomas.
Adjunctive use of VTAMA (tapinarof) 1% cream in the management of new-onset scalp psoriasis in a patient with fistulizing Crohn's disease on infliximab
Authors: Machynia Kyle T.
Published: January 2025

Psoriasis (PsO) frequently coexists with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD). Patients with CD on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors, such as infliximab (IFX), are at an increased risk for developing PsO. The paradoxical development of PsO in this patient population presents a therapeutic challenge, particularly in those with fistulizing CD, as switching to IL-23 inhibitors is not a viable option due to their reduced efficacy in promoting fistula healing. Effective treatment strategies that can manage PsO without compromising CD control are therefore necessary.  Here we report a case of new onset scalp PsO treated with tapinarof 1% cream with significant improvement noted after 2 weeks of application and maintains clearance of scalp PsO with biweekly application.
Generation of utterances based on the turns «N-дно» and «reach a new low» in modern speech: on the issue of stability and variability of the component structure of a phraseological unit
Authors: Budaragina E. I.
Published: January 2025

The subject of this research is the characteristics of phraseological units, specifically their stability and reproducibility. The aim of this article is to demonstrate that these characteristics are not essential for identifying phraseological units. The study is based on a functional-semantic approach to phraseology (V.N. Teliya and Yu.P. Solodub). The material for analysis is composed of phraseological expressions derived from the phrases «reach a new low» and «N-дно». These expressions were collected from the speech of various speakers, including journalists, bloggers, politicians, and writers. Using discourse analysis, the grammatical variants and semantic transformations of these units were examined, particularly those related to the intensity category. The following conclusions were reached: the use of phraseological units often involves creativity, the variety of forms does not hinder the identification of phraseological variants as a unified whole, if there is a common image, based on, for example, the realization of a single cognitive metaphor, stability and reproducibility in the study of phraseological units should be attributed to substantive categories, rather than formal ones, when discussing the stability of phraseological units, it is important to take into account the stability of the core prototype, which allows for the unification of lexical-grammatical variants within a single phraseological unit.
Memorial culture of modern Hungarian monarchism
Authors: Kyrchanoff M. W.
Published: January 2025

The author in the presented article analyzes monarchism as a form of memorial culture and historical politics of society in modern Hungary. The purpose of the study is to analyze monarchism as a form of historical memory. The author analyzes the role and place of monarchical intellectuals in the development of historical politics and the memorial culture forming and developing in monarchical political imagination. The novelty of the study lies in the study of the current (modern) stage in the development of monarchical ideology in Hungary not as a form of political participation, but as a version of the development of historical memory and memorial culture, based on the principles of historical revisionism and Hungarian political and ethnic nationalisms. The article shows that; monarchism forms and cultivates its own ideas about the past and history; the historical imagination of Hungarian monarchism is a form of historical revisionism, since the monarchical past and heritage is subject to consistent positive mythologization and ideologization in the political imagination of supporters of the monarchy; monarchism in its historical imagination forms alternative versions of historical memory and memorial culture, different from those versions of national historical memory that are offered by civic identity. The article shows that monarchical forms of historical memory contribute to further transformations of the Hungarian memorial culture, stimulating the parallel co-development of alternative counter-memories operating in the political and ideological coordinates of monarchism. It is assumed that the visualization of the collective historical memory of the unique historical experience of the monarchy, including visual, narrative and discursive tactics and strategies of modern monarchists, contributes to the actualization of the heterogeneous nature of the memorial tradition of modern Hungarian society, stimulating the consolidation of unique ideas about the past that form the basis of the monarchical historical imagination and memorial culture as forms of alternative memory.
Shards of Trauma: Modelling the Narrative about Poles in the Auto-Reflexive Dimension (Based on Oksana Zabuzhko’s Novel The Museum of Abandoned Secrets)
Authors: Sztepenko Oleksandra
Published: January 2025

This article focuses on determining the specificity of modelling the traumatic narrative about Ukrainian-Polish relationships presented in Oksana Zabuzhko’s novel The Museum of Abandoned Secrets. In order to reveal the structure of the author’s “narrative code” (Igor Papusha’s term), an attempt is made to comprehend the mechanisms of the interaction between narrative categories and theoretical studies of trauma and examine how the structural parameters of auto-reflection are involved in creating a literary narrative about trauma. The analysis shows that the narrative discourse about Ukrainian-Polish relationships employs autoreflexive strategies of othering the Self as the Other. This creates the image of a collective victim and constructs the future perspective, which play specific roles in postmodern writing – they invert the central binary opposition, change the narrative optics, and convey a prognostic meaning. The interpretation angle presented in the article is expected to deepen and balance the perception of the literary version of the traumatic past of Ukrainians and Poles presented in Oksana Zabuzhko’s novel.
Przetrząsanie rodzinnej historii. Tożsamość narracyjna w Domu z witrażem Żanny Słoniowskiej i Dzieciach Kazimierza Michała Garapicha
Authors: Skubaczewska-Pniewska Anna
Published: January 2025

Ostatnia dekada sprzyja refleksji nad relacjami polsko-ukraińskimi. Spośród licznych tekstów literackich podejmujących ten temat autorka artykułu wybrała do analizy utwory pisarzy debiutujących po roku 2014, reprezentujących polsko-ukraińskie rodziny: Dom z witrażem (2015) Żanny Słoniowskiej i Dzieci Kazimierza (2019) Michała P. Garapicha. Konfrontacja powieściowej sagi przedstawiającej cztery pokolenia kobiet zamieszkujących lwowską kamienicę, w której niszczeje zabytkowy witraż symbolizujący pogmatwane losy bohaterek (Słoniowska), z pozostającą na granicy prozy artystycznej i dyskursu naukowego pamiętnikarską relacją z poszukiwań w rodzinnym majątku na Podolu potomków licznych nieślubnych dzieci pradziadka (Garapich), stwarza okazję do refleksji nad polsko-ukraińskimi związkami w różnych aspektach i z wielu punktów widzenia. Kategorią spajającą analizowane kwestie i przywołane perspektywy badawcze jest tożsamość narracyjna. Artykuł pokazuje, że pierwszoosobowa narracja w obu tekstach nie tylko w oryginalny sposób przybliża i problematyzuje przełomowe momenty w polsko-ukraińskiej historii, ale też odkrywa nieoficjalną genealogię rodzin polsko-ukraińskiego pogranicza i służy (re)konstruowaniu własnej „hybrydalnej” tożsamości autorów, kształtującej się pomiędzy tradycjami i językami.

Доведено, що обидва драматурги роблять образ Сократа ключем до філософських роздумів не лише про життя і смерть людини, а й насамперед про долю та перспективи демократії в посттоталітарній Європі.
„Teraz jest czas nowej dramaturgii”: wokół Spichlerza Natalii Worożbyt
Authors: Durkalewicz Wiktoria
Published: January 2025

Przedmiotem badań artykułu jest dramat Spichlerz (The Grain Store), napisany przez wybitną ukraińską dramatopisarkę Natalię Worożbyt, oraz rekonstrukcja towarzyszących mu kontekstów recepcyjnych, literackich, kulturowych i społeczno-historycznych. Sztuka ta po raz pierwszy została wystawiona w angielskim tłumaczeniu Sashy Dugdale przez Royal Shakespeare Company w Courtyard Theatre w Stratford-upon-Avon w 2009 roku. Na ukraińską scenę dramat trafił dopiero w roku 2015 wyreżyserowany przez Andrija Prychod’kę. Jednak za ewenement na ukraińskiej mapie teatralnej uznano reżyserską wersję Maksyma Hołenki z roku 2022. Dramat Natalii Worożbyt jest nowatorską próbą zgłębienia Hołodomoru w kategoriach wypracowanych przez nurt new writting. Kreując wielowymiarowy i wielogłosowy świat dramatu, Spichlerz Worożbyt posługuje się zarówno historiografią, jak i historią mówioną, sięga także po historię rodzinną. Dla dramatopisarki ważne jest pokazanie aktywnego i krytycznego pamiętania jako praktyki niezbędnej do przetrwania i zachowania własnej tożsamości – zarówno indywidualnej, jak i zbiorowej.
Może by tak wreszcie wojna… Recepcja rosyjskiej napaści na Ukrainę w 2022 roku w tekstach polskich piosenek (rekonesans)

Published: January 2025

Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę przeglądu oraz ewaluacji własności literackich tekstów polskich piosenek powstałych w reakcji na rosyjską napaść na Ukrainę w 2022 roku. Autor dowodzi, że utwory mało znanych artystów w niczym nie ustępują produkcjom sygnowanym nazwiskami zajmującymi najwyższe miejsca na listach przebojów, a pod niektórymi względami nawet je prześcigają. Analizie poddawane są teksty piosenek autorstwa Kamila Bednarka i Dany Vynnytskiej, Igora Herbuta i Sanah, a także Łukasza Jędrysa oraz Grzegorza Paczkowskiego, reprezentujących nurt poezji śpiewanej.
SLAVERY, NEOLIBERALISM, NECROPOLITICS. THE SOLAR AND NOCTURNAL BODIES OF DEMOCRACY
Authors: Pietryka Mateusz
Published: January 2025

The article explores the contemporary crisis of liberal democracy, framing it within the colonial heritage and ongoing economic dominance of Western countries. It traces the rise of the idea of human rights and free trade, linking it with the practices of slavery and exploitation of conquered territories. The author examines Enlightenment philosophers' views on slavery and colonialism and outlines the economic consequences of these historical phenomena to analyze how they contributed to the democratization and economic development of European countries. The text proceeds to examine current international economic relations to show how the imbalance of power between rich and developing countries leads to exploitation of the latter. The article argues that both colonial roots and contemporary unequal trade relations underpin the current rise of populism and xenophobia in Western countries faced. The main guiding theme of the work is Mbembe's proposed idea of the solar and nocturnal body of democracy: the constant intertwining of internal economic and cultural flourishing with the rise of inequality, populism and undemocratic practices.

Russian-language scales of religiosity: analytical review
Authors: Samun Mohammad Haroon
Published: January 2025

The concept of "religiosity" is firmly entrenched in the mechanisms of social identification and differentiation. In international research practice, the problem of generalizing and systematizing methods for measuring religiosity was first solved by P. Hill and R. Hood. To apply the scales of religiosity in Russian practice, they need to be tested on a Russian sample. Practically oriented reviews of scales are almost absent. This article was written to make up for this shortcoming.
During the research, criteria were formulated for the selection of scales by relevance. The author managed to find only four methods for measuring religiosity that meet all five criteria: the scale "predisposition to religiosity," CRS, a questionnaire of spiritual experiences, RCI-10. Further, the criteria for ordering and evaluation were formulated. The work carried out showed the existence of each tool of its own advantages and disadvantages. The scale of religious predisposition has the undoubted advantage of brevity, ease of application, understanding by respondents and transparency of interpretation. But this technique needs significant refinement and full testing. Of the remaining three methods, the Russian-language version of the CRS scale is the most widespread. Apparently, it is this scale that should be recommended as a method for measuring the religiosity of the "first choice." The scales of KSSh-10 and spiritual experiences are also tested to high standards in the Russian sample and have sufficient methodological qualities, but their application is advisable when the study has a certain thematic specificity.
ISLAMIC ECONOMIC LAW ON MUSYARAKAH AND MURABAHAH: IMPACTS ON ISLAMIC BANKING GROWTH
Authors: Pramita Adinda Dian , Fikriyah Khusnul , Suryaningsih Sri Abidah
Published: January 2025

This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method to explore the performance of Islamic banking. This method allows researchers to understand the natural context of the phenomenon under study through data collection from various relevant literature, such as official reports from Bank Indonesia, the Financial Services Authority, and Islamic economic literature. This qualitative analysis aims to describe the condition and performance of Islamic banking in detail and in depth. The results show that Islamic banking has experienced significant growth in several indicators, such as asset growth and financing, compared to conventional banking. However, financing is still dominated by the consumptive sector, with MSME financing remaining low. The study also highlights the differences between murabaha and musyarakah contracts, as well as Islamic banking faces challenges such as limited product offerings and financial literacy issues. The key differences between Murabahah, a cost-plus sale contract, and Musyarakah, a partnership contract based on profit and loss sharing, lie in the way risks and profits are distributed.
A AGENDA 2030 NAS AÇÕES DE EXTENSÃO UNIVERSITÁRIA
Authors: Cinquini Junqueira Maíra , Garcia de Oliveira Bruno
Published: January 2025

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a relação existente entre as ações extensionistas de uma unidade acadêmica universitária com os ODS. O estudo caracterizou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa de caráter exploratório. Para a classificação do banco de dados, aplicou-se o método de análise de conteúdo. Foi verificado se cada ação de extensão tinha ou não relação com os ODS, e caso tivesse, qual dos 17 ODS poderia ser associado a essa ação. De 175 ações analisadas, 121 (69,14%) possuíam alguma relação com os ODS, contemplando treze de seus dezessete objetivos, com grande destaque para o ODS 4 e o 15. Ficaram de fora apenas o ODS 1,7, 9 e14. Foi possível verificar que, mesmo de forma implícita, a maioria das ações de extensão analisadas se relacionam com algum dos ODS. Além disso, constatamos que uma única unidade acadêmica pode abarcar uma grande diversidade de ODS com suas ações de extensão, proporcionando às universidades um grande poder de contribuição com a Agenda 2030 e, consequentemente, com a promoção do desenvolvimento sustentável.

Published: January 2025

Muitos dos atuais estudos na área da dança centram-se na reflexão sobre os métodos de criação e poucos exploram a essência das obras do ponto de vista dos recursos técnicos.  Através de uma análise crítica e bibliográfica sobre a criação coreográfica contemporânea, procura-se estabelecer linhas orientadoras para análise coreográfica que poderão vir a ser dialogantes com o discurso do criador, visando confrontar as opções técnicas com os propósitos artísticos. Desta análise, conclui-se que a sistematização dos modos de materializar as coreografias está ancorada nos seguintes pressupostos: a escolha dos intérpretes; a natureza da proposta; os recursos utilizados; a estruturação e configuração dos materiais; e a relação com outros elementos.
Binding Characterization Of Small Protein-Conjugated ssDNA Aptamer To Recombinant Human ICAM-1
Authors: Nik Kamarudin Nik Abdul Aziz , Musa Nurfadhlina , Mohd Zaidi Nur Fatihah , Ghazali Basyirah , Ahamad Mariana , Dhaliwal Satvinder S , Mustaffa Khairul Mohd Fadzli
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the potential of a protein-DNA aptamer conjugate to enhance aptamer binding to recombinant human intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (rhICAM-1). Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids that bind target molecules through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Conjugating aptamers with antibodies or proteins has been shown to improve their binding affinity. Using Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX), eight rounds of selection were performed with ICAM-1-coupled Dynabeads Protein A, identifying a G/C-rich aptamer, DI05, as having the strongest binding affinity to rhICAM-1. An antibody inhibition assay demonstrated a significant reduction in rhICAM-1 binding to immobilized ap-tamers (DI05, DI20, DI31, and DI33). Additionally, the binding affinity of eGFP-conjugated DI05 to rhICAM-1 was higher than that of unconjugated DI05. Docking simulations revealed close contact between DI05 and ICAM-1, with interactions primarily mediated by hydrogen bonds within three hairpin structures at ≤2.8 Å. These findings highlight the potential of aptamer-small protein conjugates as a promising strategy to enhance aptamer binding characteristics.
Integrating Islamic Values into STEM Education: Perspectives From In-Service and Pre-Service Early Childhood Educators
Authors: Siron Yubaedi
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the perceptions of in-service and pre-service early childhood educators regarding the integration of Islamic values into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education and explores the potential development of these values within this framework. Utilizing a qualitative research design and purposive sampling, the study engaged 11 in-service teachers and 13 pre-service teachers from early childhood education (ECE) programs. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using Braun and Clarke's six-phase approach to thematic analysis. This approach facilitated the identification of key themes, including the necessity of integrating Islamic values into STEM curricula, particularly the principles of Tawhid (Islamic monotheism), moral teachings, scholarly perspectives, and references from the Quran and Hadith. Participants emphasized the importance of Islamic symbols and identity in shaping STEM education for young children. The findings reveal diverse strategies for embedding these values within STEM subjects, utilizing pedagogical methods such as contextualized teaching, problem-based learning, and the incorporation of Islamic narratives. The analysis also highlighted challenges, such as limited resources and the need for educator training in integrating religious content into STEM.

Penggunaan trafo distribusi mempunyai peranan yang sangat penting dalam pendistribusian energi  listrik pada suatu sistem distribusi.  Trafo  yang digunakan  harus  dijaga dengan  baik agar keandalannya terjaga stabil, sehingga terhindar dari bentuk gangguan. Apabila terjadi gangguan maka akan mengakibatkan terputusnya kontinuitas penyaluran tenaga listrik ke konsumen dan juga kerugian bagi konsumen dan PLN itu sendiri. Beberapa gangguan yang sering terjadi adalah karena beban lebih, beban tidak seimbang, sambaran petir dan gangguan internal pada trafo (gangguan yang berasal dari trafo itu sendiri). Melalui penelitian ini akan diambil studi kasus pada jaringan distribusi 20 kV di PT. PLN (Persero) Rayon Natar.
Public Accounting Firm Characteristics on the Readability of Key Audit Matters
Authors: Santy Dila Viera , Rosadi Samsul
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the readability of Key Audit Matters (KAM) in a sample of 448 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) using the INDX model and multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal that auditors from Big Four firms, auditor gender, meeting frequency, and company leverage negatively affect KAM readability, resulting in lower INDX scores and more complex reports. Conversely, factors such as audit fees, auditor experience, KAM type, audit committee size, and company size based on total assets do not significantly influence readability. A higher INDX score indicates better readability, suggesting that reports with lower scores are more difficult to understand. These findings provide insights for regulators and auditors to improve the clarity of audit reports, enhancing transparency and communication with stakeholders.

Toward Out-of-Domain Binding Affinity Prediction
Authors: Zhao Zehan , Fang Shujun , Wang Haohan
Published: January 2025

Binding affinity prediction is pivotal in drug design, offering insights into the interactions between ligands and protein targets and thereby significantly influencing the drug development pipeline. Its potential to expedite the identification of drug candidates has led to extensive research focused on developing machine learning algorithms for predicting binding affinity. However, most developments have concentrated on independently and identically distributed (i.i.d) data. In real-world scenarios, prediction models may encounter novel chemical substructures, protein families absent from the training set, variations in experimental conditions, and evolving drug resistance mechanisms. These factors can lead to a significant degradation in performance, causing models to suggest suboptimal compounds or overlook promising candidates—challenges commonly referred to as Out-of-Domain (OOD) in the machine learning community. To address the OOD challenges in binding affinity algorithm development, several benchmarks have been introduced. However, we observe that many lack a convenient codebase framework for swift algorithm evaluation.In this paper, building upon the DrugOOD dataset, we introduce a comprehensive benchmarking framework to assess the resilience and adaptability of OOD algorithms in binding affinity prediction. Our framework offers a streamlined approach for evaluating algorithmic performance in OOD scenarios. Furthermore, we propose a method that surpasses existing state-of-the-art approaches in our benchmark tests. We anticipate that our contributions will spur further research addressing OOD challenges and enhance the reliability and robustness of binding affinity predictions in drug design.

Published: January 2025

Background
Blood transfusions are necessary in spine fusion surgery for scoliosis.
Objectives
The study aimed to evaluate the response of patients with iron deficiency or anemia undergoing adolescent scoliosis correction to ultra-short-term treatment with ferric carboxymaltose, subcutaneous erythropoietin & vitamin B12, and oral folic acid.
Methods
Forty-four patients aged 13 to 45 years with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis for surgical posterior fusion spine surgery were divided into therapy group received a gradual intravenous infusion of 20 mg/kg ferric carboxymaltose, 40.000-unit subcutaneous erythropoietin, 1 mg subcutaneous vitamin B12, and 5 mg oral folic acid one day before surgery and control group got a placebo treatment. The number of red blood cell and platelet transfusions received during the first postoperative seven days, the perioperative hemoglobin [HB], platelet, and leucocyte count [RTC], reticulocyte hemoglobin content [RTC-HB], the need for fresh frozen plasma units, and intraoperative blood loss were recorded.
Results
The therapy group had significantly less intraoperative blood loss, lower number of patients who required platelet, fresh frozen plasma, and RBCs transfusions than in the control group. The therapy group considerably enhanced postoperative total leukocyte count and platelet count. In the therapy group, postoperative HB, RTC, and RTC-HB values were considerably greater than in the control group.
Conclusion
Preoperative combined administration of ferric carboxymaltose, erythropoietin, vitamin B12, and folic acid in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis correction one day before the surgery, could improve postoperative outcomes by optimizing preoperative anemia, reducing intraoperative blood loss and the number of patients requiring blood products and shorter intensive care unit stay.

Published: January 2025

Background
Rising worldwide health issue obesity is typified by an excessive body fat buildup endangering health. Over the past few decades, the incidence of obesity has sharply risen, which has resulted in an increase in related health issues like type 2 diabetes, heart illnesses, and certain malignancies.
Objective
examines demographic, socioeconomic, and lifestyle factors affecting obesity among medical professionals, analyses medical field data to identify obesity reasons and provide realistic weight control and obesity prevention strategies.
Method
January–June 2024 cross sectional survey of 200 Babylon physicians. Stratified random selection ensured a balanced mix of demographic and socioeconomic traits throughout data collection.
Results
Of the physician replies, most were female (53%), urbanites (96%), aged 36–45 (43%), and 46–55 (32%), With 78% inactivity, most responders—medical (59.5%)—had private clinics (72%) and Age, private employment, and weight satisfaction were linked to BMI; 74% of respondents were overweight or obese. Though they tried to lose weight, 56.5% of them were dissatisfied with it.
Conclusion
Doctors are becoming overweight and obese, and BMI is closely connected with age, private work, and weight satisfaction. Doctors are often unhappy with their weight, suggesting weight control concerns. Low physical activity may be linked to work overload. Exercise and lifestyle improvements for doctors are desperately needed. Patient care providers' health will improve by addressing these challenges.

Published: January 2025

Achieving robust low-resistance electrical contact with carbon fibres embedded in polymeric matrices is a challenge and different electrode fabrication methods, mostly for after composites are cured have been examined in the literature. This paper investigates the use of metallic foils co-cured on the top surface of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites to form stable electrodes. Different electrode materials and the effects of their geometry variation on the CFRP to electrode interface resistance (IR) are studied experimentally. Finite element (FE) analysis is used to estimate the spread resistance (SR), providing a reliable estimation of the interface resistance between different electrodes and CFRP specimens. Copper is found to be the optimal electrode material and has a low interface resistance per unit electrode area ranging from 2.75×10− 4 Ωmm− 2 to 1×10− 3 Ωmm− 2 independent of geometry parameters. The mechanical bonding between the electrodes and the composite has been examined using pull-off tests and the obtained results show that the electrodes have an acceptable mechanical bonding with the composite layer. In comparison to other electrode fabrication processes, the co-curing technique is significantly easier, less invasive and more cost-effective as it eliminates the need for altering or introducing surface damage to CFRP specimens.
