Authors: Ahmed Usama , Zubair Muhammad , Rehman Baqaur , Sultan Hafiz Muhammad
Published: July 2024

This study was designed to find the susceptibility of Nitrofurantoin and Fosfomycin among urinary isolates of Escherichia. coli. Four hundred (400) urine samples were collected for susceptibility of nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin among urinary isolates of E. coli. All indoor and outdoor patients’ urinary samples yielded growth of E. coli. Mid-stream urine specimens were inoculated on blood agar and CLED agar and incubated at 35 ± 2 ℃. Growth was observed, and Escherichia coli was identified by Gram staining, Catalase, Motility test and API 20E (Bio murex) as per standard procedure. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates for nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin was carried out by the modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method according to CLSI guidelines ATCC 25922. E. coli was used as a quality control strain. A total of 400 samples were tested susceptibility of nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin among urinary isolates of E. coli during this period. A total of 400 samples yielded the growth of E. coli, out of which 178 (44.5%) were male and 222 (55.5%) were female samples. Among males, 18 (10%) were tolerant to nitrofurantoin, and 2 (1.1%) were tolerant to fosfomycin. Among females, 9 (4.09%) were susceptible to nitrofurantoin while 6 (2.72%) were susceptible to fosfomycin. Among age groups below 45 years old, 6 (4.76%) were tolerant to nitrofurantoin, and 2 (1.58%) were sensitive to fosfomycin. Between 46–66 years old, 4 (2.81%) were sensitive to nitrofurantoin, and 3 (2.11%) were sensitive to fosfomycin. Between 67–90 years old, 17 (12.87%) were sensitive to nitrofurantoin, and 4 (3.03%) were tolerant to fosfomycin. Fosfomycin and nitrofurantoin showed good susceptibility in urinary isolates of E. coli and can be used empirically in our setup.

Objective: To provide new insights for the evaluation and diagnosis of chronic neck pain (CNP). Methods: 22 patients with CNP and 22 healthy individuals were recruited from South China Normal University, who were all college students. The subjects’ neck extensor muscle strength in the head neutral position, the natural anteversion position, and the maximum forward flexion position were measured by an isometric muscle strength tester respectively. The neck extensor strength of CNP patients and healthy subjects were compared. Results: In the neutral position, the maximum isometric muscle strength of neck extensor muscles was 12.31 kg for CNP patients and 15.16 kg for healthy individuals, resulting in a ratio of 81% strength in patients compared to healthy subjects. This difference was highly significant (P < 0.000). In the natural anteversion position, the respective values were 12.6 kg for CNP patients and 15.05 kg for healthy individuals, with a ratio of 83%, and a significant difference between groups (P < 0.001). In the maximum forward flexion position of the head, the values were 13.36 kg for CNP patients and 16.15 kg for healthy individuals, with a ratio of 82%, and a highly significant difference (P < 0.000). Conclusion: The neck extensor muscle strength levels in college students with CNP were significantly lower compared to healthy college students across all measured positions.

Authors: Hakim Faturrahman , Astuti Yuli
Published: July 2024

Football is a popular and widely engaged sport in Indonesia, attracting individuals across various age groups, including teenagers, adults, and children. The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI), established on April 19, 1930, originally named the All-Indonesian Football Association, is the governing body responsible for managing and overseeing football activities in the country. Despite its long history, PSSI has faced significant criticism for its perceived lack of professionalism in handling and managing Indonesian football. This discontent was notably amplified in the wake of the cancellation of the U-20 World Cup, leading to a surge of negative sentiments on social media platforms, particularly Twitter. This study aims to analyze public opinion regarding PSSI's performance. Public opinion, which emerges in response to various events, tends to be diverse due to the differing perspectives of individuals. The research focuses on assessing the balance between positive and negative sentiments towards PSSI's performance. By employing a comprehensive approach to sentiment analysis, including stages such as data preprocessing, labeling, modeling, and evaluation, this study provides a detailed examination of public sentiment. The methodology involves the application of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm across four tests with different data splits and the use of the SMOTE technique to address class imbalance. The findings reveal that the fourth test yielded the most effective results in sentiment classification, achieving an accuracy of 70.75\%, precision of 67.16\%, recall of 68.18\%, and an F1 score of 67.66\%

Jon Elster y el análisis de la justicia transicional
Authors: Pizano Ferreira Alfredo
Published: July 2024

La presente investigación proporciona al lector en habla hispana una aproximación teórica a la concepción de la justicia transicional de Jon Elster. El análisis de sus presupuestos metodológicos y aspiraciones teóricas no han sido exploradas en lengua española. El individualismo metodológico y la elección racional son elementos que abonan al realismo político del pensador noruego; aun cuando la propuesta es teóricamente solvente ésta no ha sido atendida en sus términos. Este artículo resalta el elemento filosófico de la propuesta de la justicia transicional de Elster; aunque, el foco principal de la propuesta elsteriana se vincula con la filosofía de las ciencias sociales, pero no dicha postura no sé agota ella. De este modo, la filosofía política de Elster será enfocada en la justicia transicional desde un horizonte realista e individualista.
Carrying The CRT Legacy in Perilous Times: Research and Practice in the Social Sciences Under Florida’s Stop WOKE Act
Authors: Bennett Ebonie
Published: July 2024

Florida’s House Bill 7, also known as the Stop Woke Act, is one of the most controversial legal measures in educational history, increasing the supervision of teaching and learning about antiblack racism in social studies education. Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, has legally banned the teaching of CRT (critical race theory) from K-12 schools, colleges, and universities. In this paper, I analyze specific points from Florida’s House Bill 7 (2022), unpacking its legal divisiveness that upholds white supremacy in the social sciences. This blatant denial of America’s tragic racial history has intensified a hostile and superficial learning environment for teachers of social studies education. As a Black woman, educator, and researcher; there is an added layer of betrayal teaching about race under intense legal scrutiny. In this article, I intend to unpack my experience as one of the last groups of doctoral students to learn CRT at a Florida public university; revisiting the political shift against CRT and how it has impacted my research and practice.

Authors: April Bernardo Evangelista  , Gloria Pacifico Gempes
Published: July 2024

The internet is flooded with research on the influence of brand equity on consumer buying behavior. This paper offers a reversal of the variables wherein brand equity becomes the dependent variable and consumer buying behaviors (utilitarian and hedonic), along with sex, as the independent variables. Employing path analysis, the study delves into the dominant buying behavior of 300 graduating college male and female university students in Region XI. They are the prospective consumers of apparel products once employed in the immediate future. The study highlights the interconnectedness of utilitarian and hedonic buying behaviors in shaping the brand equity of apparel goods. Sex, on the other hand, is not a significant predictor of consumer buying behavior and brand equity.

For estimation of copper at the trace level a simple, sensitive and rapid spectrophotometric method has been developed using MTHBABA reagent. Elemental and spectral analysis techniques were used for characterization of MTHBABA reagent. Solvent chloroform was used for quantitative (99.61 %) extraction of Copper (II) with the help of MTHBABA at pH range 5.6 to 6.7 from aqueous solution. An intense peak of λ max (540 nm) was observed from chloroform extract. Concentration range for Beers law observed between 2.5 to 30 µg/ml for Copper (II). For Copper complex MTHBABA molar absorptivity and sandell’s sensitivity was found to be 39524 L mole-1cm-1 and 0.0243 μgcm-2 respectively. Job’s Continuous Variation as well as the Mole Ratio Method confirm complex nature 1:1 (Copper: MTHBABA). During MTHBABA present study interference of various ions is also discussed. The proposed method has been successfully applied for determination of Copper (II) in alloy and pharmaceutical samples

Hands are the main transmission route for microorganisms and infectious diseases. Hand washing is very important in food health, home cooking, and day care. The purpose of hand washing in the health care is to remove pathogenic microorganisms ("germs") and avoid transmitting them. Hand washing removes visible dirt from hands and reduce the number of harmful microorganisms. In the present study herbal handwash was developed using ethanolic extract of Azadirachtaindica (Neem). This plant is historically known to have many therapeutic uses. Herbal handwash was developed by using Carbopol-930 as Jelling agent, methyl paraben used as neutralizer and Sodium lauryl sulphate as surfactant. The Hand wash showed a multipurpose effect and all these herbal ingredients showed significant different activities. The ingredient use in herbal hand wash having properties cleaning, remove dirt as well as promote healing. The prepared formulation were evaluated based on number of criteria including consistency, pH test, spread ability, stability test, cleansing test, foam ability and grittiness.

Published: July 2024

Malaria is a most significant parasitic disease worldwide. The overall burden of malaria infection in Tanzania has been decreasing over the past 10 years. On the other hand, there is an observation of an increase in severe forms of malaria, notably malaria-associated kidney injury, across hospitals in Tanzania. We are reporting two cases of severe malaria-associated acute kidney injury admitted at Tumbi Regional Referral Hospital in Eastern Tanzania. The patients were young adults who live in an area with a moderately high malaria transmission rate in the country. Patients recovered well after various inpatient interventions. The cases highlight not only an increasing number of severe malaria cases associated with acute kidney injury but also the challenges of managing malaria in a low-income endemic setting and the potential treatment failure of artemisinin-based compounds. The cases underscore the importance of early presentation to health facilities, early detection of severe malaria patients, and timely interventions, including hemodialysis, which are crucial in improving the prognosis of severe malaria patients.
Biotransformation reactions of xenobiotics: Mechanisms and implications for environmental and human health
Authors: Bhaskar Mahanayak
Published: July 2024

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the biotransformation reactions of xenobiotics, focusing on their mechanisms and implications for environmental and human health. Xenobiotics are foreign chemical substances introduced into the environment and living organisms through activities such as industrial processes, agricultural practices, and pharmaceutical usage. They include pharmaceuticals, pesticides, industrial chemicals, environmental pollutants, and food additives. Xenobiotics can have toxic effects on biological systems, including acute and chronic toxicity, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, endocrine disruption, and immunotoxicity. Biotransformation reactions, primarily occurring in the liver, convert xenobiotics into more hydrophilic forms, facilitating their excretion from the body. These reactions are divided into two phases: Phase I and Phase II. Phase I reactions (non-synthetic) involve oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis, primarily mediated by enzymes such as cytochrome P-450. Phase II reactions (synthetic) involve conjugation reactions, where metabolites of xenobiotics combine with endogenous polar or ionic moieties, making them more water-soluble. Key Phase II reactions include glucuronide formation, methylation, sulfate conjugation, acetylation, amino acid conjugation, and glutathione conjugation. Understanding these biotransformation mechanisms is crucial for mitigating the toxic effects of xenobiotics. However, biotransformation can sometimes produce more toxic metabolites, posing significant risks to environmental and human health. Environmental implications include the persistence and bioaccumulation of xenobiotics, ecotoxicity, and the development of antibiotic resistance. Human health implications involve increased toxicity and carcinogenicity, adverse drug reactions due to drug interactions, and genetic variability affecting individual susceptibility to xenobiotic toxicity. To address these challenges, effective risk assessment and management strategies are essential. Environmental monitoring using advanced analytical techniques, regulatory frameworks such as REACH and TSCA, and bioremediation using engineered microbes are crucial for mitigating the impact of xenobiotics. This paper underscores the importance of understanding biotransformation reactions to develop strategies for reducing the harmful effects of xenobiotics and protecting public health and the environment.
