Authors: Dhingra Manthan , Kaur Maninder , Gupta Vikram Kumar , Sagar Barinder , Singla Namit , Singh Simranpreet , Ghosh Abhra
Published: November 2024

Background: Self-medication is prevalent globally, making the processes easier but raising potential hazards like antibiotic resistance. College students, influenced by social media, exhibit alarming self-medication behaviours. This cross-sectional study surveyed undergraduate students across medical, nursing, and non-health science institutions to assess the self-medication habits, knowledge and attitude of students.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted across various educational institutions from August 2023 to February 2024, targeting undergraduate students aged 18 and over. Using a pre-validated questionnaire, data on socio-demography, self-medication with antibiotics, and related knowledge were collected via Google Forms. The sample size was doubled to 1175 for better statistical power. Data analysis was performed using standard statistical tools.

Results: Analysis of data demonstrated that a substantive proportion of students self-medicate with antibiotics. For medical students, convenience was the biggest issue and for non-medical students, it was cost-saving coupled with distrust in doctors. The most common complaint received for self-medication was throat pain. Medical students used textbooks for necessary information whereas non-medical students went to local shops for advice. Patterns differed somewhat in comparison with international studies, indicating regional differences. Strikingly, medical students predominantly relied on academic knowledge and previous experiences while using antibiotics, whereas non-medical students often obtained antibiotics from shops or the internet, making them vulnerable to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.

Conclusion: This highlights the importance of implementing specific interventions to reduce unsafe self-medication practices in students.

Authors: Nair Gayathri G , Ashok Umayorubhagom , Prashant Dhongadi , Jayaseelan Ooviya
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Obesity has become the 21st Century’s greatest challenge and threat. Around 50% of the obese children become obese adolescents, of which 80% become obese adults.
Methodology: Cross-sectional analytical study was done on 930 pre- and primary school children. Neck circumference, weight, height, waist and hip circumference was recorded. Overweight/obese identified according to WHO standards. Age-specific percentile charts for boys and girls were drawn with data from the apparently normal children in the study population.
Results: The Neck Circumference measurements ranged from 23.64(±1.16) to 28.49(±2.87) in boys and 23.59(±1.63) to 27.6(±2.67) in girls. ROC analysis derived cut-offs for overweight and obesity in each age group/gender were found to have high sensitivity (80-100%) and specificity (60-95.9%). Using the reference percentile data/curves, and the cut –offs obtained by ROC analysis, a neck circumference above the 75th percentile for age and gender can be regarded as overweight and above the 90th percentile as obese in both boys and girls.
Conclusion: The study concludes that the Neck circumference is a valid and effective screening tool for overweight/obesity in pre and primary school children.

COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS FOR BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE: A STUDY ON CLASSIFICATION AND REGRESSION MODELS
Authors:   Department of Business Administration, International American University, Los Angeles, CA, USA, Bony Md Nad Vi Al
Published: November 2024

This study presents a comparative analysis of five widely used machine learning algorithms—Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Neural Networks—in the context of business intelligence (BI). The performance of these models was evaluated on both classification and regression tasks, utilizing a comprehensive set of metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, AUC-ROC for classification, and R-squared for regression. Results indicate that ensemble models, particularly Random Forest and Gradient Boosting, outperformed other algorithms across both tasks. Random Forest achieved the highest AUC-ROC (96.3%) in classification, while Gradient Boosting led with the highest F1 score (94.2%) and AUC-ROC (97.8%), reflecting its ability to model complex, non-linear relationships. In regression tasks, Gradient Boosting (R² = 0.94) and Random Forest (R² = 0.91) demonstrated superior explanatory power. While Neural Networks (R² = 0.93) performed well, their computational complexity and lack of interpretability pose challenges for certain BI applications. Logistic Regression and SVM, though effective in simpler contexts, were generally outperformed by more complex models. The findings emphasize the importance of selecting the appropriate model based on the business objectives, data characteristics, and computational resources, with ensemble methods being ideal for high-accuracy, complex BI tasks. This study contributes valuable insights for organizations aiming to leverage machine learning for data-driven decision-making and enhances the understanding of algorithmic trade-offs in business intelligence.

Authors: Betfuer Leonardo Laguna
Published: November 2024

Este artigo explora a interseção entre as estratégias jurídicas da NAACP e os debates educacionais presentes no Anuário de 1932 do Journal of Negro Education. Argumenta-se que os artigos e dados empíricos apresentados nesse anuário forneceram uma base sólida para os desafios judiciais contra a segregação racial nas escolas públicas dos Estados Unidos, culminando em decisões históricas como Brown v. Board of Education (1954). O estudo analisa, ainda, como as estratégias jurídicas foram construídas em diálogo com intelectuais e educadores afro-americanos, que contribuíram significativamente para os debates sobre a qualidade e equidade da educação para as populações negras. Além disso, o artigo evidencia que a segregação educacional foi criticada não apenas pelas profundas desigualdades em termos de infraestrutura e financiamento, mas também pelos efeitos psicológicos e sociais negativos sofridos pelas crianças afro-americanas. Por fim, destaca-se o impacto dessas críticas nas estratégias jurídicas, nas políticas de educação pública e no fortalecimento do movimento pelos direitos civis.

Published: November 2024

This study examines students’ engagement in the "Erasmus+" program in Georgia, their attitudes, motivations, obstacles to participation, and the program's effects on academic and career progress. Survey research was conducted with 215 students, and four focus groups were held with 50 students. The findings revealed, that participants' success in the "Erasmus+" program was associated with positive attitudes towards the program, students’ motivations, effective preparation, and strong academic and language skills. A higher success rate was observed among female participants particularly within the age group of 23-29. These groups also expressed a desire to pursue further studies and apply for "Erasmus+". Participating in "Erasmus+" projects enhanced the social and academic skills of students, yet the direct impact on job prospects was uncertain. Non participation primarily stems from barriers named by more than half of the surveyed students, such as a lack of information, inadequate support, and financial limitations. Previous experiences with mobility programs also influenced their preferences, as participants displayed a preference for further studies in EU countries, while non-applicants pursued educational opportunities in Georgia followed by EU countries. Through by eliminating the aforementioned barriers, more young people would engage in the "Erasmus+" program, fostering their enhanced educational, professional, personal, and societal development.

Published: November 2024

Hydrophobic surface modification has great potential for applications in everyday life, particularly in textiles such as sportswear, health, protection, and other non-clothing textiles. Improving water repellence and high-level hydrophobicity in textile materials has so far been difficult to achieve with chemicals other than PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) due to environmental and health concerns. In this research, biosilica nanoparticles from rice husk ash (RHA) and carnauba wax were deposited alternately using a layer-by-layer (LBL) method to create a surface with a combination of nanoscale roughness and hydrophobicity resembling the lotus effect. Chitosan was used to cationize the surface of cotton fibre and bridge the negatively charged nanobiosilica particles and carnauba wax. The hydrophobicity increased with the number of layers of nanosilica-chitosan-wax (SNP/CHI/SCW), reaching a contact angle of 140.2° (close to superhydrophobic) with three layers of SNP/CHI/SCW, followed by decreased air permeability from 19.4 cm3/cm2/s for untreated cotton to 13.3 cm3/cm2/s for treated cotton, with a total decrease of 31.44%. Cotton fabric was successfully modified from hydrophilic to superhydrophobic using an LBL coating of RHA silica nanoparticles and carnauba wax.

Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in dogs and cats, highlighting its etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. SLE is a complex autoimmune condition, mainly affecting the joint, renal, and skin systems, and its identification is challenging due to the diversity of clinical signs, which may include fever, polyarthritis, skin manifestations, and indications of renal involvement. Diagnosis is made through laboratory tests, including ANA testing and biopsies, to detect autoantibodies. Treatment involves using corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, although these can increase the risk of infections. In addition, the prognosis of SLE is often poor, especially in cases with renal or hematologic impairment. Neutering is recommended as a preventive measure. This study emphasizes the importance of integrated approaches in veterinary medicine to improve the diagnosis and management of SLE, aiming to provide a better quality of life to affected animals and reinforcing the need for continuous monitoring of patients.

Introduction: This study examined the effects of Body Mass Index (BMI) on Cardiorespiratory Capacity (CRC) and explored the relationship between CRC and Academic Performance (AP) among female medical ex-students at Prince Sattam bin Abdul Aziz University (PSAU). Understanding these associations could highlight the role of physical fitness in academic success.Methods: A sample of 150 female ex-students, aged 23.3±0.6 years, was categorized into normal weight (BMI 18.5–24.9 kg/m²) and overweight (BMI 25–29.9 kg/m²) groups. BMI was calculated to determine weight status, CRC was assessed using the 20-m shuttle run test (VO2max), and AP was evaluated through academic grades (AG) and academic abilities (AA) using the Spanish Test of Educational Abilities. Statistical analyses included independent t-tests and Pearson’s correlation.Results: Normal-weight participants demonstrated significantly higher CRC (VO2max = 55.3 ±4.9 mL.kg⁻¹.min⁻¹) than overweight participants (50.8 ±4.2 mL.kg⁻¹.min⁻¹, p=0.03). Additionally, normal-weight participants scored higher in both AA (58.82 ±9.7 vs. 59.64 ±10.04, p=0.04) and AG (3.4 ±0.6 vs. 3.7 ±0.5, p=0.032). BMI negatively correlated with CRC (r = -0.20, p=0.024), while CRC positively correlated with AA (r = 0.18, p=0.015) and AG (r = 0.24, p=0.043).Conclusions: Higher CRC was associated with better academic performance, while increased BMI correlated with lower CRC. The findings suggest that promoting physical fitness may be beneficial for academic success among female medical students at PSAU.

Global population is expected to rise about 9 billion by 2050, and thus will bring significant and devastating changes to the earth. CO2 levels have been found to be sharply increased by 31 per cent since 1750, due to numerous land use alterations, faulty and intensive agricultural practices which lead to soil degradation. If such development prevails then it demands innovative and modern management strategies to mitigate the risks associated with climatic change. Earth's surface is continuously warming up due to an irrational land use system, intensive farming without considering the soil health and a surge in global CO2 emissions. Moreover, these adverse conditions can be exacerbated by soil mismanagement, degradation and land exploitation which leads to significant soil carbon depletion. The primary source of carbon emissions is human based activities including land use changes, burning natural biomass, excessive exploitation of renewable natural resources. In the agricultural system, soil plays a crucial role in mitigating the emissions and maintaing food safety and security equilibrium, irrigation water quality and thus impacts the climate positively. Implementation of soil health management strategies not only support the land restoration and crop production levels but also increases the soil carbon sequestration capacity. The key to harnessing the soil hidden potential lies in the adoption of best management practices and restorative land-use strategies. Most of the carbon lost from soil carbon pools due to mismanagement can be reclaimed through conservation practices. Therefore, the present review delves into constructing an understanding on mechanism and role of soil C credit and C sequestration and its impact on the agricultural sector.

The distribution of saurian species in Ladakh is less documented compared to mammals and birds. Additionally, there are very few molecular studies on the lizard species inhabiting the high altitudes of this region. In this study, we collected two road-killed specimens of Altiphylax stoliczkai (Steindachner, 1867), commonly known as the Baltistan gecko or Karakorum gecko, from Ganglaas, Leh, Ladakh. This locality is newly recorded for the species. We conducted a molecular analysis based on the COX1 gene to differentiate between Altiphylax stoliczkai and Altiphylax tokobajevi (Jeremcenko & Szczerbak, 1984). This research represents the first molecular analysis of Altiphylax stoliczkai  from Leh, Ladakh, India.

Kur’ân’ın metinleşme süreci, Hz. Peygamber’e (s.a.s.) (ö. 11/632) nâzil olmasıyla birlikte başlamıştır. Zira o, Kur’ân âyetlerinin ezberlenmesinin yanında yazıya aktarılmasına da büyük önem vermiştir. Kur’ân’ın yazıyla kayıt altına alınmasının üç önemli aşaması bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan birincisi, Hz. Peygamber’in vahiy kâtiplerine çeşitli yazı malzemeleri üzerine dikte ettirdiği dönemdir. Kur’ân, bu yöntemle Hz. Peygamber henüz hayatta iken yazıya geçirilmiştir. Fakat vahiy süreci devam ettiğinden ötürü tertipli bir kitap hâline getirilememiştir. Dolayısıyla söz konusu dağınık parçalar, sonraki dönemde yazımı yeniden gerçekleştirilecek olan Mushaf’ın temelini oluşturmaktadır. Hz. Ebû Bekir’in (r.a.) (ö. 13/634) halifeliği döneminde, Yemâme gününde ve diğer muharebelerde birçok Kur’ân hâfızının şehit düşmesi, Kur’ân’ın zayi olacağı endişesine sebep olmuştur. İstişareler neticesinde, Kur’ân’ın bir kitap hâlinde toplanmasının uygun olacağına karar verilmiş ve yeniden derlenmesini sağlayan tedvin/cemʽ faaliyeti gerçekleştirilmiştir. Hz. Osman (r.a.) (ö. 35/656) döneminde ise, Kur’ân’ın farklı formlarda okunması nedeniyle Müslümanlar arasında neredeyse birbirlerini küfürle itham edecek kadar şiddetli tartışmalar ortaya çıkmıştır. İhtilafları sona erdirmek ve kıraatte birliği sağlamak amacıyla müteaddit sayıda Mushaf yazılmış ve bunların her biri birer muallim nezaretinde İslâm şehirlerine gönderilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, ilgili kaynaklarda ikinci ve üçüncü cemʽ olarak adlandırılan Mushaflar’ın âkıbeti ve günümüzdeki durumu incelenmiş; ayrıca çeşitli kütüphanelerde bulunan Mushaflar’ın Hz. Osman’a ait olup olmadığı tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır.

La gamificación en el ámbito educativo es una estrategia técnica que busca optimizar los resultados de los estudiantes mediante dinámicas que los impulsen a avanzar, aumentar su compromiso y facilitar su aprendizaje. Este enfoque ha transformado el proceso de enseñanza, integrando elementos de juego en los ambientes educativos, involucrando activamente a los estudiantes y motivando su participación a través de mecanismos como retos, recompensas y niveles. Esta metodología no solo mejora el aprendizaje visible, sino que también favorece el aprendizaje no explícito, promoviendo habilidades esenciales como la resolución de problemas, la colaboración, la toma de decisiones y la perseverancia, contribuyendo así al desarrollo integral de los estudiantes. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la efectividad de nuevas metodologías docentes que mejoren el aprendizaje. La metodología utilizada fue de carácter descriptivo y de campo, con un enfoque heurístico. Se concluye que, para fortalecer el aprendizaje significativo, es fundamental aprovechar los soportes digitales y los elementos propios de la gamificación, creando experiencias educativas más interactivas e inmersivas que favorezcan el desarrollo de habilidades y el aprendizaje lúdico, lo que también estimula el aprendizaje invisible.
