Published: June 2024

Whether psychotherapy should be recognised as a specialist identity within the counselling profession (Beel, 2024) or as a separate profession in its own right (Gale, 2024) are questions raised in this issue’s two Viewpoints articles. Another article, “The Movements of Grief” (Cox & Fenwick, 2024), draws on contemporary grief models to posit three phases of grief: transience, transition, and transformation, with a liminal space opening up during transition. Liminality and grief are also themes in reviews of the books Leaning Into the Liminal: A Guide for Counselors and Companions (Thompson & Harris, 2024) and Collaborative Writing and Psychotherapy: Flattening the Hierarchy Between Therapist and Client (Carson, 2024). Led by a migrant from South Korea, a qualitative study on the understanding of mental health amongst South Korean migrants to Australia (Klingenberg et al., 2024) identifies themes centred around shifting cultural norms such as increasing individualism and issues of belonging. Levels of therapeutic relationship when working with men (Ellwood, 2024), the role of embodiment and mindfulness in group-based trauma treatment (Tempone-Wiltshire, 2024), and a systematic review of the ethical considerations around delivering video-based therapy (du Preez et al, 2024) are also featured.

Authors: Jovanović Stevan , Nedović Nenad , Vujičić Danilo , Teovanović Predrag
Published: June 2024

Based on the review of the literature and clinical experiences, it can be concluded that the measurement of the amplitude of movement is one of the basic kinesiometric methods used in the assessment of the functional joint mobility. The goal of our research was to examine the reliability and validity of measuring the amplitude of shoulder joint movement with the KEMTAI software system in comparison with the goniometer with arms. The research was conducted on 40 subjects who, in three attempts, measured the extent of flexion movement in the shoulder joint using a goniometer with arms, by three physiotherapists (experienced measurers) and the KEMTAI system, which uses the examiner's mobile phone camera via software. We found that the lowest mean value was obtained during the first session (M1 = 154.68), and the highest during the third (M2 = 156.53). When using the KEMTAI software, the variability of the mean values for the total population examined was significantly higher than when using a goniometer with arms. The results indicate that the KEMTAI software/system is reliable when comparing the average results of the three measurements. Based on the obtained results, we conclude that three human experts showed high reliability in the assessment using a goniometer with arms. Regardless of the established differences between the measurement results obtained using these two methods, we believe that the KEMTAI software/ system is applicable in practical work.
The Role of Indonesian Muslim Millennials in Reducing Food Waste towards Sustainable Development Goals: Empirical Analysis PLS-SEM
Authors: Alfarizi Muhammad
Published: June 2024

Food waste is a critical concern under SDGs 12 due to its global welfare implications. Islam, with its substantial following worldwide, can play a role in addressing this issue, particularly through the involvement of Muslim millennials. This study aims to explore the impact of religiosity, product usage efficiency, and intention to reduce food waste, with da’wah, Instagram, and Muslim eating manners as mediators. Quantitative research was conducted through an online survey of Indonesian millennials using purposive sampling. The research model, consisting of five hypotheses, was analyzed using the PLS-SEM analysis method. Results indicate that individual religiosity significantly influences Instagram proselytizing and eating behavior among Muslim millennials. Instagram proselytizing strongly affects millennial Muslim consumer behavior, particularly in terms of food consumption efficiency. Additionally, Muslim millennials’ eating etiquette impacts food consumption efficiency and environmental awareness. The efficiency of food consumption can shape millennials’ intention to reduce food waste. Implications of this study include promoting millennial involvement in food waste reduction, sustainable agricultural practices, improving literacy on food consumption efficiency, incorporating food waste education in Islamic religious curricula, and fostering collaboration among Muslim millennial organizations in Indonesia’s food waste reduction programs.

Spread of Covid-19 in Dental Setting
Authors: Ali Mohammed Hussein
Published: June 2024

In the marine sector of the city of Wuhan in China and spread quickly through other cities of China and other nations, extreme (2019-nCoV) even fetal pneumonia has occurred. The Covid-19 was distinct from SARS-CoV, but the human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expressed the same host receptor. The 2019-nCoV person-to - person routes involved active touch, such as cough, sneezing, inhalation droplet delivery and interaction delivery, such as gastrointestinal, nasal and visual mucous membranes. In addition, 2019-nCoV can be distributed through the saliva. Participants in dental work face-to - face contact and proximity to sweat, blood and other bodily fluids and the treatment of urgent equipment subject them to immense 2019-nCoV contamination. Dentists have an excellent position to perform in stopping 2019-nCoV transmission. The key method of spreading this disease is through inhalation of respiratory gout, for instance while the patients chat, sneeze, etc. Here we prescribe the management of infections during dental practice through obstructive transmission routes in dental clinical areas, as human-to-human transmission appears to occur mainly through closing up with symptoms involving Covid-19. The virus is often known for its potential to live outside living species, in aerosols or in infected equipment. Dentists are especially susceptible to Covid-19, since they cannot usually be more than one meter long and are exposed during surgical operations to spit, blood and other body fluids. In addition, a number of dental operations may produce aerosol, which is a greater source of airborne infection.
Deepfakes, the Weaponisation of AI Against Women and Possible Solutions
Authors: Kira Beatriz
Published: June 2024

In January 2024, social media platforms were flooded with intimate images of pop icon Taylor Swift, quickly reaching millions of users. However, the abusive content was not real; they were deepfakes – synthetic media generated by artificial intelligence (AI) to depict a person’s likeness. But the threat goes beyond celebrities. Virtually anyone (with women being disproportionately targeted) can be a victim of non-consensual intimate deepfakes (NCID). Albeit most agree that companies must be held accountable for disseminating potentially extremely harmful content like NCIDs, effective legal responsibility mechanisms remain elusive. This article proposes concrete changes to content moderation rules as well as enhanced liability for AI providers that enable such abusive content in the first place.
A juxtaposition of the effects of natural and chemical fertilizers on Ocimum basilicum
Authors: Wilson Daniel , Rasmus Joseph
Published: June 2024

Fertilizers can act as a lifeline to farms in areas with low nutrient levels or provide a boost to crops in otherwise well-off areas. One of the biggest decisions a farmer has to make when it comes to fertilizing is whether to use chemical or natural fertilizer. In this study, we applied two unique fertilizers of both varieties to Ocimum basilicum (basil) plants to determine which fertilizer best aided plant growth. We grew basil over the course of 40 days in multiple experiments. We recorded measurements of plant height, leaf length, and leaf width three times each week. We originally hypothesized that the plants treated with chemical fertilizers would have better growth in each of the measurement categories than the plants treated with natural fertilizers. There was no significant difference between Miracle-Gro and fish fertilizer for plant height and leaf length, but there was for leaf width. We also found the plants treated with chicken manure to be significantly smaller than those treated with JR Peters in each of the three categories. Results indicated that natural fertilizers provided no apparent benefit to plant growth, while chemical fertilizers performed slightly better but did not result in increased plant growth over no fertilization.

Published: June 2024

Kazakhstan is a country that has lofty aspirations for educational reforms. Though not formally and officially, CLIL as a primary action plan of the trilingual education is one of such ambitious initiatives. This report includes a systematic review of relevant and current literature on the implementation of the CLIL in the context of Kazakhstan. It solely looks at the state of CLIL research in Kazakhstan in order to identify gaps and make recommendations for future studies. A total of 20 studies were identified and selected for further analysis. The criteria for selection were derived from earlier research and include the following categories: relevant methodology, studies within the Kazakhstani setting exclusively, publications in three languages Kazakh, Russian and English, and peer-reviewed and conference publications. The coding scheme for the data analysis was also influenced by previous research, as mentioned clearly in the paper's methodology section. The review's findings indicate a tendency towards examining teachers' perceptions of CLIL using a qualitative approach and interviews as the primary data collection instrument. As a result of this systematic review, the paper suggests further research areas on the CLIL approach in underrepresented Kazakhstani context.

Authors: Talero Gissette Magdalena Pérez
Published: June 2024

Currently, there is a growing trend for pre-service language teachers to work as bilingual agents due to the increase in call centers as a means of customer service. This research investigates the reasons why pre-service language teachers, choose to work as bilingual agents in call centers instead of pursuing a career in education as teachers of foreign languages which is part of the essence of their professional training. The results indicate that the main reasons for their interest were related to payment, flexible schedules, opportunities to improve their communicative competencies in the target language and enhance their cultural awareness.  When asked about their future employment prospects, they expressed a desire to become language teachers. However, a significant group is uncertain about their decision to become teachers, and some are more interested in continuing to work as call center agents. Following a mixed research design, the researcher developed the present study integrating qualitative and quantitative data for more reliable results. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, surveys and focus groups. Participants were 55 pre-service language teachers currently working as agents at a call center. The data was analysed using thematic analysis to identify categories that emerged. In addition, the research is comprehensively discussed, and the conclusions of the study are presented. The results obtained provide an opportunity for discussion and reflection on the conditions of teachers in educational contexts compared to other job offers.

Authors: Ramashar Wira , Muhammad Nik Maheran Nik
Published: June 2024

Debt decision-making is an alternative funding source solution for MSME entrepreneurs to meet business capital. This research aims to examine financial behavior that influences debt decision-making by moderating Sharia compliance. This research uses primary data through structured questionnaires from 200 Muslim MSMEs. The distribution of questionnaires used convenience sampling techniques. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze data via SmartPLS software. The research results show that, overall financial behavior does not influence debt decision-making. However, each dimension of financial behavior, namely overconfidence, herding, and risk aversion, influences debt decision-making. Apart from that, Sharia compliance and its dimensions in the form of religious knowledge and religious motivation enhance the financial behavior and debt decision-making. Therefore, the research results indicate that Sharia compliance moderates the influence of financial behavior on debt decision-making.

Authors: Ahmad La Ode Ismail , Mosiba Risna , Amri Muhammad , Assagaf Muhammad Yusuf
Published: June 2024

In modern society, we discover that mental health in each society cannot be generalized. This condition then creates the urgency of discussing mental health, which leads to society's empowerment and how its efforts can optimize their mental health conditions in carrying out their daily lives. Mental health is marked by optimal emotional, intellectual, and physical development and is aligned with daily life. Based on the background above, the writer will try to conduct a study on mental health development based on the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, which are confined to the following problem statements: 1) What is the substance of mental health? 2) How is the redaction and quality of the hadiths about mental health? 3) How is the hadith perspective on mental health? The writer used a multidisciplinary approach, such as hadith science, sociology, and normative theology. This study was classified as field research; the data was collected by adapting and analyzing the information that the writer got from the respondents and focusing on qualitative aspects, then reviewing and concluding the data. Mental health is a mental condition that is calm, comfortable, serene, and peaceful. Then, it depends on internal factors and influences external factors. In addition, mental health is also closely related to all dimensions of human life, such as spiritual, psychological, biological, and social. This paper leads to the conclusion that the heart has an important role in terms of mental health development, and it is even highly recommended for Muslims to carry out guidance on mental health. In addition, the hadith of the Prophet also appealed to Muslims to always improve their spirituality by strengthening their mental health.

The Great Thoughts on Human Beings by Karl Marx
Authors: Phuong Cu Ngoc
Published: June 2024

Marxist philosophy does not prioritize the question of human beings in connection to the theory of capital and surplus value, the materialist dialectic and the socio-economic formation, or the proletarian class and socialism. The primary objective of Marxism does not pertain to the inquiry into the nature of human beings. However, Marx's ideas regarding human beings, mostly introduced during his early years, remain significant enough to be included in the body of human thought as a considerable doctrine. They hold great importance in the field of human sciences and in the pursuit of human freedom. As we celebrate the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx's birth, we will examine and assess the significant ideas that Marx had about human beings that are relevant to the current era: 1) Human beings are inherently human entities; 2) The natural world represents the intangible manifestation of human beings; 3) Human beings are distinct individuals, encompassing their actions and material circumstances; 4) The fundamental nature of human beings is derived from the amalgamation of social interactions; 5) The unrestricted growth of each individual is a prerequisite for the unrestricted growth of all individuals. These concepts are actually of immense magnitude. Presently, these ideas continue to serve as the fundamental principles of numerous human disciplines. These beliefs serve as the foundational worldview and methodological principles for numerous social theories in reality. The presentation of Marx's ideas on human beings, as shown in several published works, frequently varies. In light of the aforementioned five primary components, our objective is to faithfully adhere to the canonical works of Marx, refraining from incorporating any further insights beyond his original statements. This approach aims to provide an accurate depiction of Marx's own perspective on the nature of humanity.

The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) Staphylococcus aureus strains, particularly those expressing carbapenemase genes, poses a significant challenge in clinical settings. This study investigates the prevalence and expression profiles of carbapenemase genes (blaVIM, blaOXA-143, blaGES, blaOXA-23, and blaOXA-24) in S. aureus isolates from burn and wound patients in Tehran hospitals. A cross-sectional study was conducted using 100 S. aureus samples, which underwent biochemical testing for identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Gene expression analysis was performed using real-time PCR, and the results were analyzed with GRAPH PAD PRISM software. The study highlights the importance of understanding the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in S. aureus and contributes to the development of effective treatment strategies against MDR infections.

Isolation and diagnosis of Staphylococcus aureus from wounds and detection of some virulence factors
Authors: Ahmed Zahraa Ayid
Published: June 2024

The current study aimed to isolate and diagnose S. aureus, test its antibiotic susceptibility, and detect some virulence factors. 150 Clinical samples were collected from Kirkuk Hospital in Kirkuk city for the period from December 2023 to March 2024 from patients who were admitted and hospitalized after consulting the specialist doctor and referring him to the laboratory. Colonies of S. aureus were diagnosed based on the culturing characteristics of the colonies growing on mannitol salt agar medium and blood agar media and incubated at 37 0C for 24 hrs. The results showed that 47 (31.3%) of the samples showed bacterial growth. On the other hand, the results showed that S. aureus was highly resistant to Benzylpenicillin (81.8%), while it was very sensitive to both Nitrofurantion and Gentamicin (90.9%). A DNase test was conducted for clinical isolates of S. aureus, which were isolated from burns and wounds, and the results were 100% in terms of the susceptibility of S. aureus isolates to DNase results. The ability of 47 isolates of S. aureus to produce hemolysin was tested by culturing the bacteria on blood agar medium. The ratios of S. aureus isolates to haemolysin production varied, as evidenced by the data, with 39 (82.98%) isolates exhibiting complete hemolysis. It is concluded from the current study that S. aureus that was isolated from wounds was highly resistant to antibiotics and had dangerous harmful factors that increased the bacterial level in infections.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a multifactorial disease associated with hyperglycemia and an increased risk of complications in the cardiovascular system. During hyperglycemia, there is a significant decrease in GLP-1 and GLP- 1R expression, which have been known to have protective effects on the cardiovascular system. Increased RAGE expression due to hyperglycemia can also lead to inflammation, contributing to the pathogenesis of diabetes complications, specifically cardiovascular diseases. Administration of Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn. (HSL) can improve cardiovascular function, partly by increasing GLP-1 expression and suppressing RAGE expression. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of HSL administration on RAGE, GLP-1, and GLP-1R expression in the heart. This study is an experimental study using 9-to-11-week-old DDY mice divided into four groups: control (K), DM control (KDM), positive control DM with quercetin (KQ), and DM with HSL at a dose of 400 mg/kgBW (DM-HSL). The experimental animals received treatment for four weeks.The analysis of GLP-1R and RAGE expression was conducted using RT-PCR, while GLP-1 expression were obtained using the ELISA method. The results of this study indicate a decrease in RAGE expression and an increase in GLP-1 and GLP-1R expression in the hearts of diabetic mice. Quercetin administration was also found to decrease RAGE expression, increase GLP-1 expression, and raise GLP- 1R expression in the hearts of diabetic mice. These findings suggest that HSL administration has the potential to protect the cardiovascular system in diabetes, which is related to the activity of GLP-1 and GLP-1R and RAGE.

Published: June 2024

Background: Bell’s palsy, also called idiopathic facial paralysis, is defined as an acute-onset, isolated, unilateral, lower motor neurone facial weakness. The reported annual incidence varies in different parts of the world with estimates varying between 11 and 40 per 100 000 people.
The aim: The aim of this study to show about prevalence, management, and outcome of bell’s palsy.
Methods: By the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020, this study was able to show that it met all of the requirements. This search approach, publications that came out between 2014 and 2024 were taken into account. Several different online reference sources, like Pubmed, SagePub, and Sciencedirect were used to do this. It was decided not to take into account review pieces, works that had already been published, or works that were only half done.
Result: Eight publications were found to be directly related to our ongoing systematic examination after a rigorous three-level screening approach. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of the complete text was conducted, and additional scrutiny was given to these articles.
Conclusion: Bell's palsy is a common but still controversial disease, with unknown etiology until now. Modern literature showed that up to 80 percent of the patients will recover without treatment.

Published: June 2024

In this article, the implications of viscous dissipation on buoyancy-induced heat and mass transfer of a nanofluid flow along a semi-infinite flat plate in an oscillating system is performed, taking into account the impacts of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), chemical reaction, porous medium and heat sink. The consequences of various flow parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration distribution of the nanofluid, as well as the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number has been solved semi-analytically. The basic governing equations have been determined by employing appropriate transformations techniques which result in high nonlinear coupled differential equations with physical conditions. Different types of nanoparticles are considered, and the salient features of all the embedded parameters on velocities, temperature and concentration ﬁelds have been displayed graphically and illustrated. It is concluded from the computational analysis that application of viscous dissipative parameter improves the temperature distributions, which consequently speed up the fluid velocity. This model has practical applications in the fields of biomedicine and resonance imaging. In addition, graphical comparison between Narayana and Venkateswarlu (2016) with the present work demonstrate an excellent relationship, thereby authenticating the precision and accuracy of this present work.
