Authors: Annapackiam V
Published: February 2025

Time can be divided into three categories: past, present and future. What happened in the past can be learned through literature or by listening to others. What is happening in the present can be known through experience. But we have no chance of knowing what will happen in the future, how it will happen, and where it will happen. But poets are recording in their works what the world will be like in the future and how it is going to be. The purpose of this article is to examine the poem “AD 3000” by the poet Pandu, which was written with a future in mind.

Authors: Hizkia Hendra Rianingsih  , Widyastuti Andriyani
Published: February 2025

The selection of a strategic business location is a crucial factor in the success of an enterprise. However, the decision-making process for choosing a location often involves various complex criteria that require careful analysis. This study aims to develop an Android-based Decision Support System (DSS) to assist entrepreneurs in selecting an optimal business location using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. AHP is chosen for its ability to break down complex problems into a hierarchy and quantitatively evaluate each criterion. The system is designed to allow users to easily access and operate the DSS through mobile devices. The criteria used in the location selection process include accessibility, cost, demographics, competition, security, infrastructure, regulations, and growth potential. Each criterion is weighted using pairwise comparisons, enabling objective and comprehensive assessments. The Android-based implementation allows for flexibility, enabling users to make decisions efficiently anytime and anywhere. System testing results indicate that the application can provide accurate business location recommendations based on the desired criteria, and it features a user-friendly interface. This Android-based DSS is expected to be a practical solution for supporting business decision-making processes quickly and accurately.
SHELL INJURIES IN THE EARLY DEVONIAN RHYNCHONELLID BRACHIOPOD LANCEOMYONIA BOREALIFORMIS (SIEMIRADZKI, 1906) FROM PODILLIA, WESTERN UKRAINE
Authors: Dernov Vitaly , Grytsenko Volodymyr
Published: February 2025

This article presents a description of the shell injuries in the Early Devonian brachiopods Lanceomyonia borealiformis (Siemiradzki, 1906) from western Ukraine. Approximately eight percent of the shells (8 out of 101 specimens) exhibit shell injuries, which are classified into three morphological types: (a) rounded and ellipsoidal pits, measuring approximately 2–5 mm in diameter, located on the anterior margin and lateral slopes of the valves; (b) longitudinal, sublongitudinal, and transversal thin straight or sinuous furrows, measuring approximately 5–6 mm long and 0.5–1.5 mm wide; (c) irregularly shaped concave zones on the lateral area of the valve. The majority of the shell injuries can likely be attributed to evidence of unsuccessful predator attacks and traces of an attachment point of an epizoan organism. The potential agents responsible for the predatory injuries include cephalopods, arthropods and fishes. The frequency of injured shells among the studied brachiopods is within the range observed in other Palaeozoic-aged brachiopod assemblages.

Authors: Böhme Richard , Berendes Karin , Heinrichs Danielle H.
Published: February 2025

Phoneme awareness is an important component of primary school teachers’ diagnostic competence. Internationally, teachers’ phoneme awareness has already been extensively studied; in Germany, further research is needed in this field. Therefore, a standardised test to assess phoneme awareness was developed and administered to N = 271 advanced undergraduate students in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, Germany.The students’ explicit phoneme awareness is rather low, and, with 41 % correctly solved items, they are not optimally prepared for early literacy instruction. Orthographic interference effects are mainly responsible for this. Overall, 73 % overestimate their performance, and this effect is stronger the lower the test performance. The practical implications are discussed.

Authors: Arjan Mohammad Khallaf , Qtoof Khalid Ibrahim
Published: February 2025

Objective: The study aimed to explore the perceptions of students from Hebron University and Palestine Polytechnic University regarding intergenerational solidarity between children and parents within Palestinian families. Methodology: The study employed a quantitative approach by selecting a non-probability purposive sample consisting of (569) university students, from Hebron University and Palestine Polytechnic University. Conclusions and Results: The level of youth perception of intergenerational solidarity between parents and children in Palestinian families was generally high across all sub-dimensions. The emotional solidarity was higher among females, whereas intergenerational ambivalence was higher among males. There was a positive relationship between functional solidarity and the number of years of mothers' education, and a negative relationship between monthly household income and intergenerational ambivalence. However, the study indicated that there was no statistically significant relationship between intergenerational solidarity and the ages of the children or parents. Recommendations: There is a need to develop social policies and programs related to intergenerational communication and growth.

Authors: Hijazi Razan , Othman Sondos , Shadeed Sameer
Published: February 2025

This research aims to develop a solar energy suitability (SES) map for the West Bank, Palestine, considering potential driving factors (criteria). This is particularly crucial due to the increasing population and constraints imposed by reliance on Israeli electrical supplies, which amount to approximately 93%. Nine criteria were selected and used including slope, aspect, hillshade, distance from electric connection points, elevation, distance from roads, distance from built-up areas, land uses, and administrative zones. Geographic Information System (GIS) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) were used to develop the SES map. The study reveals that 41% of the West Bank is highly suitable for solar energy projects (SEPs), while 29% falls into very low to low suitability, and 30% moderately suitable. Notably, Qalqilya and Jenin governorates are highly suitable for SEPs, whereas Ramallah and Jerusalem are the least suitable for SEPs. By intersecting the SES map with the A, B, and C zones of the Oslo Accord, it is evident that approximately 44% of the highly suitable SES areas are located in the A and B zones. This makes expanding SEPs in these areas possible. Additionally, the highly SES areas are mainly located in open space areas, implying that developing SEPs therein is a viable future option. The results of this research will help different stakeholders select potential sites for feasible SEPs in Palestine.

Authors: Radhi Athraa B. , Hammdi Nahidah I.
Published: February 2025

Lead and cadmium are among the most dangerous heavy metals for human health, as several studies have proven the effect of these elements on the nervous system, kidneys, liver, and respiratory and reproductive systems. According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization, human hair and nails have been identified as important biomarkers to assess exposure to potentially harmful elements. The purpose of this research was to determine the levels of lead and cadmium in the hair and nail samples of petrol station workers in Al-Ramadi-Iraq. A total of 20 male petrol station workers and 20 males working in offices were recruited for the study. Hair and nail samples were collected from all participants and stored in plastic tubes for analysis. Histological examination using SEM was conducted on the hair and nail samples. The results revealed that the levels of lead and cadmium in the hair and nail samples were significantly elevated compared to control values, with mean values of (14.01 mg kg − 1) for lead and (5.96 mg kg − 1) for cadmium in hair, and (7.99 mg kg − 1) for lead and (3.19 mg kg − 1) for cadmium in nails. There was a significant positive correlation (P < 0.05) between the levels of lead in the workers' hair and nails and work duration (0.450162, 0.487173) ,also between concentration of Pb in the hair of workers and concentration of Pb and Cd in the nail of workers(0.660219,0.574807) , as well as between concentration of Pb in the nail of workers and concentration of Cd in the nail of workers (0.881698).
Purification and Characterization of Glutathione S-Transferase from rabbit liver
Authors: Hunaiti Abdelrahim A. , Al hadidi Ahmad
Published: February 2025

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are essential enzymes involved in the detoxification process in animals. They catalyze the conjugation of the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) to various electrophilic compounds, such as environmental toxins, carcinogens, and metabolic by-products, forming mercapturic acids that are more water-soluble and can be excreted. This process protects cells from oxidative stress and chemical damage, and GSTs are particularly abundant in detoxification organs like the liver, kidneys, and lungs. In addition to detoxification, GSTs regulate cellular processes like signal transduction, apoptosis, and cell proliferation. GSTs were purified from rabbit liver with a 22-fold purification and 78-80% yield. The enzyme activity was assessed using 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene as a substrate, resulting in a specific activity of 91 µmole/min/mg protein. Gel filtration was performed on a Sephadex G-100 column to reveal the enzyme's native molecular weight of approximately 50,000. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS-PAGE) was used to examine the enzyme's subunit composition, and its isoelectric points (pI) were determined using chromatofocusing. The purified GST enzyme from rabbit liver exhibited two distinct subunits with molecular weights of 28,000 and 27,000, and all enzyme activity was associated with a single protein band in native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme displayed a pH optimum around 6.5 and was minimally affected by heat, with 50% of activity retained after eight days of storage at room temperature. The enzyme showed higher conjugation rates for reduced glutathione with substrates like 1,2-epoxy-3-(nitro phenoxy) propane and ethacrynic acid. Chromatofocusing resolved the GSTs into seven isoenzymes with pI values ranging from 7.96 to 9.6. The primary isoenzymes (pI 8.6) were responsible for more than 94% of the overall activity and consisted of two semi-identical subunits. The study successfully purified and characterized rabbit liver GSTs, revealing their subunit composition, isoelectric points, and substrate specificity. The findings suggest that rabbit liver contains multiple isoenzymes with similar immunological properties, with the primary isoenzymes responsible for most of the enzymatic activity. This purification and characterization offer insights into the enzymatic properties and functional diversity of GSTs in animal tissues.The effect of various inhibitors and the substrate activity of the rabbit liver was tested

Mauritania is a country with a water deficit. The majority of these regions are supplied by groundwater through boreholes. Among these regions there is the Wilaya of Akjoujt. Water for domestic use from two boreholes in Benichab in the Wilaya of Inchiri was analyzed and assessed for quality in February, July and November 2023, using standard laboratory sampling and analysis methods. Parameters examined included temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), Total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, chlorides (Cl-), nitrates (NO3-), sulfates (SO42-), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) and fluoride (F-). The results of the physico-chemical analysis demonstrated that the borehole water met World Health Organization (WHO) standards for human consumption. Water quality index (WQI) and Comprehensive Pollution Index (CPI) methods were used. The WQI confirmed that water from the Benichab boreholes, with a score below 50, was excellent for consumption. CPI values ranged from 0.22 to 0.27, suggesting slightly impaired borehole water at Benichab. However, without considering F- and pH, CPI ranged from 0.14 to 0.20, indicating satisfactory borehole water quality in the Benichab region. These results underline the importance of F- and pH in borehole water quality in Benichab. A statistical analysis of the correlation between F- and certain physical parameters using Pearson's correlation matrix revealed that F- concentrations could be influenced by pH in Benichab boreholes. The affirmative solution will be a continuous water quality monitoring program particularly F- and pH and a detailed hydrogeochemical investigation is suggested for sustainable utilization of water resources

The introduction of GST in India is a landmark
reform aimed at broadening the multiple indirect
taxes in one system with enhanced transparency
and reduced tax cascading, therefore simplifying
compliance. The present study evaluates the impact
that GST has so far brought on the economy of
India using both primary and secondary data:
government reports and business surveys. Our
findings indicate that GST has substantially
improved tax compliance, reduced the rate of tax
evasion, and facilitated a transition toward a formal
economy. However, the transition proved to be
quite challenging, especially for SMEs, due to
complex filing procedures, varying tax rates, and
increased compliance costs. While businesses do
recognize the long-term benefits of GST, such as
economic integration, attraction of foreign
investment, and enhanced global competitiveness,
there is a strong demand for policy refinements.
Simplified compliance, better government support,
and clearer tax regulations are critical to improving
GST's effectiveness. The study thus concludes that
GST was a step in the right direction, but constant
tweaking and stakeholders’-oriented reforms are
required for GST to realize its economic potential.
With a commitment to refinement, GST can be one
of India's transformative economic policies to
foster sustained growth and global competitiveness.

Abdullah Saeed’s Contextual Approach to The Qur’an: Interpretation of Q. 24: 31

The study of Q. 24: 31 is not new in the world of Quranic exegesis, as various methods and approaches in the field have been used to explore the main message of Q. 24: 31. Explicitly, Q. 24: 31 commands the preservation of dignity by covering one’s body (aurat). However, the core message has undergone distortion due to current phenomena. In both the real and virtual worlds, many claim to exhibit Islamic character, yet their behavior contradicts the ethical and religious norms. This can be seen in trends such as jilboobs, turbans, Yakult bottles, and others. Building upon these phenomena, this study aims to reassess the interpretation of Q. 24: 31 and its contextual relevance. This qualitative research relies on a literature review as its primary method of analysis. The data is analyzed descriptively using Abdullah Saeed's contextual approach. The study concludes that historically, women of the past did not wear the khimar properly, merely draping it over their heads, leaving parts of their bodies exposed. In response, Q. 24: 31 provides specific guidance on the norms and ethics that Muslim women should follow, including wearing a khimar that fully covers the head and chest. Q. 24: 31 is universal, as evidenced by its repetition in other verses, indicating that its values are constant and comprehensive. The contextualization of Q. 24: 31 for today serves as a guide not only for covering the body but also for adhering to the norms and ethics of Islam. Covering the body should be accompanied by maintaining a woman’s dignity and honor, which is an integral part of observing modesty.
