Authors: Sun Luolan
Published: February 2025

This paper focuses on the vocabulary teaching strategy of semantic transparency (ST). In today's increasingly rigid vocabulary teaching, ST appear to be particularly important. This study elaborates on how to effectively teach vocabulary by enhancing ST, that is, by using lexical structure and word formation components to clarify semantics. This method helps students to understand polysemous words and compound words more accurately, remember vocabulary for a longer time, and improve the accuracy of vocabulary use. This paper provides new ideas for vocabulary teaching innovation, helps teachers optimize teaching strategies, and promotes students' vocabulary learning effectiveness.

Authors: Isa Hasan M , Bucheeri Shahd T , Aldoseri Jarrah Y , Redha Ayah A , Mubarak Abdulla F , Altamimi Shaikha A , AlOraibi Ameera A , Alshaikh Mohamed I
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a breakthrough procedure for patients with hematological and oncological conditions, particularly when all other treatments fail. Its indications vary between patients and settings, and its outcomes depend on the donor type, transplantation facility, and center expertise. In countries where transplantation facilities are lacking, sending patients abroad for transplantation might be a safe and effective alternative to leaving the patient to face eventual disease morbidity or even mortality if the procedure is not performed locally. However, studies evaluating BMT abroad are scarce.

AIM

To assess the clinical characteristics of patients who underwent BMT overseas and analyze the factors affecting their survival outcomes.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all Bahraini pediatric patients who underwent BMT between 2013 and 2024. Medical records from Salmaniya Medical Complex and Overseas Treatment Office were reviewed. Patient demographics, transplant indications, donor type, transplantation type, overseas centers, complications, and outcomes (overall and 5-year survival rates) were analyzed. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared using χ 2 test, Student’s t -test, Mann–Whitney U test, and Kaplan–Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to estimate survival predictors.

RESULTS

Of the 75 listed patients, 62 (82.7%) underwent BMT and were included, 10 (13.3%) did not, and 3 (4.0%) were awaiting transplantation. Most patients were male (n = 33, 53.2%). The mean age at transplantation was 7.8 ± 4.9 years. The main indication for treatment was acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (n = 15, 36.6%). Six patients (9.7%) required re-transplantation. Of the 68 transplants, 60 (88.2%) involved conditioning, mostly a combination of fludarabine and total body irradiation (n = 7, 11.7%). Most patients underwent allogeneic transplantation (n = 48, 77.4%), primarily from related donors (n = 47/48, 97.9%). The most common complication was infection (n = 51, 79.7%). Follow-up averaged 3.3 ± 2.5 years. The overall survival rate was 77.4%. Survival odds were better for non-AML patients and Middle Eastern centers (P = 0.015 and P = 0.032, respectively).

CONCLUSION

Bahraini males with AML primarily underwent allogeneic BMT. Non-AML patients and those transplanted in the Middle East had better survival rates, despite high complication rates.

Authors: Zuckerman Jonathan , Pham Phuong-Thu , Parakkal Meena , Velazquez Alexis F , Sarkar Mrinalini , Pablos Michael A , Bunnapradist Suphamai , Lum Erik L
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

C3 glomerulopathies (C3G) are a rare cause of kidney failure resulting from complement dysregulation. Small studies demonstrate a high rate of recurrence and poor outcomes in kidney transplantation. Treatment efficacy in this setting with eculizumab, a terminal complement inhibitor, is largely unknown.

AIM

To determine the outcomes of kidney transplantation in patients with C3G and the potential impact of eculizumab.

METHODS

We retrospectively studied kidney transplant recipients who underwent a post-transplant biopsy confirming C3G between January 1, 1993 and December 31, 2023 at a single center. Only the first episode of kidney transplant was reviewed. The electronic medical records were reviewed for post-transplant allograft function, indication for biopsy, time to biopsy from transplant, time to allograft failure from transplantation, post-C3G treatment, complement laboratory testing, and concurrent malignancy/infection. Reports, and when available slides and immunofluorescence/electron microscopic images, were re-reviewed by a renal pathologist.

RESULTS

A total of fifteen patients were included in this study. Fourteen patients had suspected recurrent disease, with a pre-transplant native kidney report of C3G. One patient developed de novo C3G. Median post kidney transplant clinical follow up time was 91 months. Median time to recurrence was 7 months with median graft survival of 48 months post kidney transplantation. The most common index biopsy pattern of injury was endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis (often with exudative features) with or without mesangial hypercellularity (56%) followed by membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (25%). Most patients developed membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis pattern of injury on follow up biopsies (63%). Seven patients with recurrent disease received treatment with eculizumab with a median graft survival of 73 months, with five functioning grafts by the end of the study period. Seven patients with recurrent disease did not receive therapy, and all lost their graft with a median graft survival of 22 months (P = 0.003).

CONCLUSION

C3G following kidney transplantation is mostly a recurrent disorder with a poor prognosis in untreated patients. Untreated recurrence has a poor prognosis with median allograft survival < 2 years. Early treatment with eculizumab may improve transplant outcomes in patients with recurrent C3G.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Tacrolimus (TAC) is metabolized primarily by the CYP3A -encoded enzyme family (CYP3A4 , CYP3A5 , and CYP3A7 ). Individuals expressing the CYP3A51 allele are considered fast metabolizers and generally require higher TAC doses to reach therapeutic levels.

AIM

To evaluate the predictive value of the TAC concentration-to-dose (C0/D) ratio for identifying CYP3A5 polymorphisms in renal transplant recipients.

METHODS

Eighty-six de novo kidney transplant recipients with TAC-based immunosuppression from the Department of Nephrology and Dialysis at Military Hospital 103 (Hanoi, Vietnam) were included in this retrospective study. Blood samples were collected within the first week post-transplantation to monitor TAC levels and to perform genotyping for CYP3A5 genetic polymorphisms.

RESULTS

The CYP3A53/3 genotype was identified in 37 patients (43%), CYP3A51/3 in 40 patients (46.5%), and CYP3A51/1 in 9 patients (10.5%). Patients carrying the CYP3A51/3 or CYP3A51/1 genotype, classified as fast metabolizers (CYP3A5 expressers), had significantly lower TAC C0 concentrations and C0/D ratios compared to slow metabolizers (CYP3A53/3 genotype) at multiple time points during follow-up (all P < 0.001). Notably, the TAC C0/D ratio obtained on day 1 (0.91) was shown to predict CYP3A5 polymorphism with a sensitivity of 84.6% and a specificity of 84.6%.

CONCLUSION

This study demonstrates that the TAC C0/D ratio provides a reliable predictive value for CYP3A5 polymorphisms, which can be used to individualize TAC dosing in renal transplant recipients in Vietnam and other low-income countries.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

In patients with chronic liver disease or hepatic dysfunction with sarcopenia, there is an increased risk of frailty as measured by functional impairment, making frailty a vital predictor of post-transplant mortality.

AIM

To investigate the effects of frailty on mortality after liver transplantation.

METHODS

A retrospective review of post-transplant outcomes in liver transplant recipients assessed frailty using Karnofsky Performance Score. Data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients database for 37427 liver transplant recipients was used.

RESULTS

Of 82.7% frail patients, 42.7% were severely frail and 40% were moderately frail (P < 0.001) at the time of transplantation. Compared with non-frail patients, post-transplant mortality in frail patients was significantly higher at 12 months [odds ratio (OR) = 1.94, P = 0.02)]. Secondary analysis of the data revealed that liver grafts from donation after circulatory death (DCD) were more likely to be associated with frail patients at transplant (OR = 1.86, P < 0.001). Furthermore, a donor history of hypertension was associated with a lower likelihood of frailty in the recipient at the time of transplant (OR = 0.65, P = 0.03).

CONCLUSION

Recipient frailty is associated with increased mortality at 12 months following liver transplantation, and liver transplants from donors with DCD are associated with increased frailty of the liver transplant recipient.

Published: February 2025

As security concerns increase across industries such as banking, education, military, and commercial sectors, traditional surveillance systems struggle to effectively distinguish between authorized personnel and intruders. This project aims to address these challenges by developing an Advanced Surveillance Detection System powered by deep learning algorithms and IoT technologies. The system utilizes Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for uniform recognition, distinguishing between authorized individuals (e.g., soldiers, staff) and unauthorized persons, even if they wear similar uniforms. In addition, people counting mechanisms track the number of individuals in the surveillance area, ensuring any anomalies—such as unexpected increases in personnel—trigger real-time alerts. The system seamlessly integrates with IoT devices like buzzers to provide immediate notifications to the control platform. By automating surveillance, the project enhances operational security across multiple environments, enabling both active patrol and after-hours monitoring. This solution offers a scalable, efficient, and reliable approach to modern security management by combining deep learning and IoT to reduce vulnerabilities and ensure proactive threat mitigation.

Published: February 2025

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices are widely practiced in banks globally. It is deemed more crucial for Islamic banks (IBs) since their establishment is related to the Shariah principle and social justice. However, the approach to implementing CSR differs as they have integrated CSR through Shariah compliance and ethical mandates compared to conventional banks that adopt formalized strategies embedded in their corporate structure. The study is designed to explore the effect of CSR on the IB's performance and the moderating effect of ownership concentration on this relationship in the Middle East. Using samples of Islamic banks in nine countries from 2012 to 2012, a total of 58 IBs were selected. The findings showed that CSR positively affected the ROE and Tobin’s Q but not the ROA. In addition, ownership concentration has a higher effect on the ROA of less concentrated banks, while the effect of CSR on ROE and Tobin’s Q is higher in concentrated banks. This relationship between CSR and ROE and Tobin’s Q is stronger in public banks compared with private banks. This finding suggests that the Middle East IBs should boost CSR implementation through more formalized guidelines since it could enhance their region's market reputation and financial health. However, more studies are still needed to explore the other determinants of a bank’s performance.

Published: February 2025

This research aims to explore the role of e-government in increasing transparency and accountability in public administration in the digital era. As digital technology develops, governments around the world are increasingly adopting e-government solutions to improve public services, strengthen public trust, and simplify administrative processes. This study investigates how the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in public administration can drive greater transparency and accountability, which are essential elements of good governance. A mixed-methods approach is used to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of e-government initiatives. The qualitative component involves in-depth interviews with government officials, policymakers, and e-government project leaders in various sectors to understand the challenges and successes in the implementation of digital government solutions. The quantitative aspect uses a survey of 500 public sector employees and citizens in countries with advanced e-government systems to assess perceptions regarding transparency and accountability in digital services. The study found that the implementation of e-government platforms has brought significant improvements in transparency, with 70% of respondents reporting better access to public information and government data. In addition, accountability has been strengthened as digital platforms facilitate more efficient monitoring and auditing of public sector activities. However, challenges such as the digital literacy gap, concerns about data security, and the digital divide are identified as barriers to maximizing the potential of e-government. The study concludes that e-government plays an important role in improving transparency and accountability in public administration by enabling better access to information and facilitating a more transparent decision-making process. The study recommends further investments in digital infrastructure, capacity building for government officials, and public education to address existing challenges. These findings emphasize the importance of digital inclusivity and the need for a comprehensive strategy to ensure equal access to e-government services across all segments of society.

Fused Deposition Modeling is 3D printing techniques which chiefly appreciated for prototypes. This manufacturing process works by extrusion of thermoplastic materials to make the three-dimensional objects. In this work, we pursued to identify the FDM parameters to increase mechanical properties, specifically ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and compressive strength (CMS). Polycarbonate was chosen to create the test samples because of the best thermal and mechanical properties, which was the increasing manufacturing applications of 3D printing. Nine experiments were conducted to verify the interaction of the considered parameters, namely infill rate (IR), printing speed (PS), and film height (FH). The combined use of the Taguchi and TOPSIS approaches makes the interaction of the considered parameters clearer, pointing out the most favorable combinations in terms of optimizing the mechanical properties of 3D-printed polycarbonate samples. From the Taguchi-TOPSIS method results, the optimal parameters were acknowledged as IR1-PS1-FH2. An experiment focused under these optimal settings resulted in UTS of 29.59 MPa and CMS of 34.5 MPa. Furthermore, the relative closeness coefficients for the initial and optimized factors were 0.36182 and 0.7734 respectively, proving a significant improvement in product quality. Finally, this study highlighted the potential for further refinement of FDM processes in enhancing the mechanical properties, provided the valuable insights for industries leveraging additive manufacturing for high-performance applications.

Published: February 2025

O público plus size vem crescendo exponencialmente na última década e mesmo sendo um grande comprador em potencial, não tem suas necessidades de consumo atendidas por lojas varejistas e boutiques. O presente estudo tem como objetivo entender as maiores dificuldades do público plus size femino ao consumir peças de varejo e do segmento Evening Dress Wear, além de propor soluções funcionais através da modelagem e da ergonomia que podem ser aplicadas de maneira prática e industrial. Para coleta de dados foi elaborado um formulário de perguntas através do Google Forms, aplicado a 55 mulheres plus size, com perguntas sobre estilo de vida, gostos, preferências, dificuldades e desejos ao consumir produtos de moda. Diante da pesquisa, compreende-se que essas mulheres não se sentem valorizadas pelos produtos ofertados pois não sentem seu corpo como foco de modelagens para seu biotipo, o que lhes proporciona um mau consumo de peças, falta de produtos disponíveis e uma lacuna de mercado. Essas mulheres reivindicam e querem se sentir bonitas e incluídas nas tendências de moda com roupas que apresentem estampa atuais, materiais como: tules, rendas, pedrarias e peças com elastano, e acima de tudo, uma modelagem ergonômica e funcional pensada com o usuário como núcleo de desenvolvimento.

A migração é um processo histórico que permeia a humanidade desde o mais remoto registro de sua existência. É um campo de estudo vasto, plural e bastante denso, no sentido de permitir formas de investigação variadas e com tentáculos que transcendem áreas do conhecimento que sejam duras. Para tratar da migração em um contexto mais amplo e reflexivo, a Arte, por meio da Estética, empresta elementos ricos e sensíveis à investigação, corroborando com discussões amplificadas e sensíveis do tema. A Geografia não fica de fora desse debate, mas, ao contrário, se faz necessária para congregar esses elementos em um espectro espacial e estético de aferição de informação. É oportuno destacar que a migração, mais do que nunca, atinge patamares bastante altos de estudo tendo em vista a enorme crise humanitária que assola o mundo. Essa crise ressoa no deslocamento de pessoas que buscam melhores condições de vida e que fogem de guerras e perseguições.

Uma forma de verificar a eficiência de métodos de estimativa da evapotranspiração de referência (ET0) é comparar com equação de Penman-Monteith FAO-56, recomendado pela FAO para estimar a evapotranspiração de referência (ET0).  Com este trabalho o objetivo foi avaliar a equação de Hargreaves, comparando-a com a equação de Penman-Monteith FAO-56, para verificar a possibilidade de estimar a evapotranspiração de referência para as condições climáticas do município de Jaboticabal – SP e fazer a calibração local desta equação. Para esse fim, foram utilizados dados do período de 01/01/2009 a 31/12/2015 de uma estação meteorológica automatizada instalada na área experimental do Departamento de Engenharia Rural da FCAV/UNESP, Câmpus de Jaboticabal, SP. Por intermédio da estação meteorológica, foram obtidas medidas da radiação solar global, radiação líquida, temperatura do ar, umidade relativa do ar, velocidade do vento. A análise dos resultados foi realizada aplicando técnicas que verificam a integridade dos dados meteorológicos e utilizando metodologias de análise dos dados médios e desvios padrões da ETo. Foi realizado a calibração local da equação de  Hargreaves por meio do ajuste do parâmetro empírico HE (expoente empírico de Hargreaves) da equação.  A integridade dos dados da estação meteorológica foi aceitável. O resultado de avaliação do método, utilizando a metodologia de análise de desvios padrões diários da  ETo, considerando  a equação de  Penman-Monteith FAO-56 como padrão, indica que estabeleceu uma  relação linear. Portanto, podem ser comparados. A equação de Hargreaves é uma opção para estimar os valores de ETo em clima do tipo subtropical, em locais em que a disponibilidade de dados climáticos é limitada.
As pessoas com deficiência e a política de educação inclusiva das universidades públicas brasileiras
Authors: Nunes Jeovana Batista de Sousa , Felix Maria da Conceição Silva
Published: February 2025

Este artigo apresenta uma proposta para refletir a necessidade de discutir e estruturar formas de enfrentamento as questões relacionadas ao ensino superior público e a formação profissional das pessoas com deficiência, na perspectiva de construção de uma educação emancipatória e humana, reforçando os núcleos de formação que leve em consideração as barreiras de acessibilidade, fundamentada na perspectiva ética, política, teórica e metodológica, a fim de balizar a direção social da formação profissional que venha garantir desde o ingresso, a permanência e o egresso com igualdade de acesso, compreendendo que para além de um desafio emergente do século XXI, trata-se de direito. Para escrita deste material, utilizamos o método do materialismo histórico e o recorte temporal a partir do programa incluir, com a finalidade de contribuir e tornar possível uma educação universal, humanista e acessível, tendo em vista que por um lado, os estudantes com deficiência estão chegando ao ensino superior e adaptando-se as condições postas, almejando concluir a formação profissional e acender ao mercado de trabalho, enquanto, por outro lado, as universidades públicas e institutos federais estão recebendo-os sem as devidas condições de acesso e, neste sentido, é urgente pensar como agir frente as necessidades específicas ou frente as necessidades educacionais, levando em consideração as diferenças e a diversidade humana.
Eschatology and Imagination
Authors: Steeves Nicolas
Published: February 2025

In a postmodern world which mercilessly seeks to colonize our personal and socialimaginaries, Roman Catholic dogma’s legitimate option for verbal terseness must allyitself with a Christ-fueled, continuously dynamic imagination, for the sake of our fides Eschatology and Imagination31quae, of our fides qua, and of theology itself. Scripture has varying strategies—soberor splashy—in its use of the imagination to relate our eschatological horizon; so doesCatholic literature. In order to regain a much-needed eschatological sense of hope andfullness, our Christian theological discourse should respectfully discern its use of images and the imagination. Such a balance is key for our faith’s actual credibility inpostmodernity. It also directly effects how we lead our daily lives
Time, Eternity and Purification.An Attempt to Solve Five Aporias of the Traditional Idea of Purgatory
Authors: Castelao Pedro
Published: February 2025

The traditional concept of purgatory needs an appropriate update. In this paper, three theological criteria are proposed, in light of which five aporias are enunciated and evaluated. These aporias make a current understanding of the central intuition that underlies the idea of postmortal purification impossible. Furthermore, the author proposes five other reflections of a systematic nature with the intention of unlocking these aporias and offering a renewed and significant understanding of the essential content of the purification of the human being in the presence of the infinite love of God and also of all those other theological questions directly related to it, especially everything that refers to the relationship between the ordinary time of history and the eternity of God.
Distinguishing Eschatology and Apocalypse, with the help of Mimetic Theory
Authors: Kirwan Michael
Published: February 2025

The article attempts a precise understanding of the concept of apocalypse, both in itsbiblical origins, but also in its contemporary usage in addressing political, economicand environmental crises. An examination of the New Testament passages, especiallythe ‘little apocalypses’ in the gospels of Mark and Luke, indicate a mixture of affirmation and reticence with regard to the apocalyptic mindset. The mimetic hypothesis of René Girard allows us to explain this ambiguity by detecting in apocalypticisma temptation to Manichaean polarisation against those regarded as impure or wicked.There needs to be a distinction between this kind of false projection and a true apocalyptic vision, according to which God is emphatically affirmed as beyond all violenceand vengeful ‘othering’. Various options are offered by Girard and Girardian scholars,who speak of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ apocalypse, or ‘ironic’ and ‘vulgar’. James Alison offersa contrast between (violent) apocalyptic and (non-violent) eschatological imaginations.We may note that the lexical revision under way here is similar to the discussion aroundthe correct meaning of ‘sacrifice’ earlier in Girard’s career.
Eschatology, Messianism, and Politics in Contemporary Judaism:A Theological Approach for a better Understanding of the Middle East Conflict
Authors: Ansorge Dirk
Published: February 2025

Eschatology is not simply the doctrine of the “last things”, but a certain way of interpreting human history as a whole. In this sense, Jews and Christians share a view of history characterised by a dynamic of fulfilment. Nevertheless, the two religions differ with regard to the ultimate goal of history. While Christians await the return of the risen Christ, in Judaism the expectation of a messianic redeemer cannot be generalised. In recent decades, Jews have increasingly linked the concept of God’s revelation to history. Recognising this development helps, not least, to understand the political agenda of the current Israeli government in the Middle East conflict
The Situation of Aggression. Resolving Moral Conflicts in the Ethics of Tadeusz Ślipko
Authors: Aszyk Piotr
Published: February 2025

Tadeusz Ślipko SJ (1918-2015) is one of the prominent Polish philosophers dealing with ethics. He places his scientific work in the context of traditional Christian ethics, which he associates with the Thomistic way of thinking. He is the author of classic textbooks on general ethics and practical ethics. In 1988, he wrote the first monograph on bioethics in Poland, entitled The Limits of Life. In addition to general ethical issues, the Polish Jesuit analyzed practical issues to answer questions troubling his contemporaries (abortion, euthanasia, ecology, etc.). He proposed original solutions to the issue of resolving conflict situations. This article is devoted to this issue, which presents the theoretical assumptions of the concept concerning the situation of aggression that activates specific mechanisms in the moral system to secure the moral order. Such conflictual phenomena reveal the truth about the complex nature of certain moral values. The proposed construct makes it possible to deal with the problem of moral evil in the situation of killing an aggressor in self-defense, waging a defensive war in which people are killed, defending a secret, and capital punishment.
