Authors: Khojasteh Noshari Simin , Imanpour Namin Javid , Forouhar Vajargah Mohammad , Bibak Mehdi
Published: October 2024

Background: Wetlands are among the most important ecosystems and areas of life that are ecologically and economically important in the world and susceptible for heavy metal contamination. The elements in water and sediment may be easily and in large quantities available to animals in aquatic ecosystems. This study aimed to investigate the level of heavy metal contamination in Anodonta cygnea. Methods: Anodonta cygnea sampling was carried out in the summer 2023. A total of 35 specimens were collected randomly by fishing net. Following the laboratory analyses, the concentration of aluminum (Al), arsenic (As), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), magnesium (mg), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), tin, vanadium (V) and zinc (Zn) were determined by ICP-OES. Results: Target hazard quotient (THQ) values of Mn were above 1. The pi index showed that A. cygnea is slightly contaminated by Pb. Analyses of the metal accumulation showed that A. cygnea bivalve was moderately contaminated by Zn and severely contaminated by As. The results showed no significant relationship between the total weight of the organism and concentration of Al, Fe, and Ni. Conclusion: Aquatic organisms, including bivalves, do not possess an advanced excretory system, therefore the excretion of metabolites and pollutants is a is a slow process. once the concentration of heavy metals in the aquatic environment increases, they become easily available to aquatic organisms and enter the biological system. In this study, the absorption rate of metals was higher than its excretion or removal by the excretory system which results in their accumulation in various tissues and organs of the organism.
Health risks of welding fumes: A review to investigate the relationship between oxidative stress levels and trace metals in body fluids of welders
Authors: Karimi Zeverdegani Sara , Mohammadi Farzaneh , Mohammadalipour Adel , Hashemnia Mohammad , Mohebian Zohreh
Published: October 2024

Background: Welding fumes (WFs) contain heavy metals that can induce oxidative stress and health issues in welders. This review investigated the relationship between oxidative stress biomarkers and trace metals in welders’ bodily fluids. Methods: Online databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, EMBASE, and Google Scholar were reviewed, with a specific emphasis on the effects of metal fume exposure during welding. Specific keywords such as "welding fumes", "metal fumes", "antioxidant enzymes", "biomarkers", and similar terms were employed to search for articles published between 2004 and 2023. After the evaluation of article titles and abstracts, this study reviewed a total of 19 articles. Results: Studies suggest that welders experience oxidative stress due to changes in trace metals in their body fluids, affecting antioxidant enzymes and oxidative stress biomarkers. Elevated heavy metals in welders’ biological samples lead to oxidative stress and inflammation, even at low levels. Certain metals in blood and urine, such as lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), chromium (Cr), and cadmium (Cd), positively correlate with serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels. There is also a significant positive correlation between serum/EBC MDA and blood/urine Pb, Mn, Cd, Cr, and Fe, indicating cellular damage, lipid peroxidation, and reduced antioxidant capacity. Additionally, welders may experience more DNA damage compared to non-welders. Conclusion: Exposure to WFs significantly altered oxidative stress biomarkers in bodily fluids, underscoring the importance of the relationship between oxidative stress and trace metal imbalances in WF-related injuries. These factors could serve as valuable biomarkers for monitoring workers exposed to WFs.

Published: October 2024

Background: Nowadays, one of the most serious environmental concerns is the appropriate management and disposal of municipal waste, which can lead to significant environmental consequences. This study aimed to examine the determinants of source waste separation behavior (SWSB) among high school students applying the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Methods: In this descriptive study that was performed in 2022 via an online survey, 689 questionnaires were completed by students in 10 randomly selected high schools in Abhar, Iran. The data were analyzed by IBM SPSS Amos version 23. To assess the predictive determinants of SWSB, a structural equation model (SEM) was used. Results: Subjective norm was found to be the best predictor of high school students’ source waste separation (SWS) intention. The TPB had a prediction power of 68% and 74% for predicting waste separation from the source intention and behavior, respectively. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, subjective norm has the greatest impact on separation intentions (regression weight=0.550; SE=0.08; CR=6.863; and P<0.0001). Educational administrators are suggested to pay special attention to the role of significant others, such as teachers, parents, and peers in their planning to improve waste separation behavior at the source in schools.

Authors: Einipour Amin
Published: October 2024

Introduction: In bioinformatics, analyzing single -cell data is crucial for understanding cellular functions' complexities. However, this analysis faces challenges like inefficient dimensionality reduction and suboptimal clustering. This study aimed to present a method that enhances the clustering of single -cell data, improves reconstruction quality, and reduces data dimensions . Method: This paper introduces SAMS (Single -cell Analysis using Multi -Scale Autoencoder), which uses a multi -scale autoencoder model to improve the challenges in single -cell data analysis. The SAMS method involves three primary steps: (1) data preprocessing and normalization, (2) employing a deep neural network model to reconstruct and reduce data dimensions with the help of a multiscale autoencoder, and (3) clustering the reduced data using the K - means algorithm to assess the method's performance. Results: The SAMS method was implemented using Python on single -cell datasets. The results demonstrate that SAMS can effectively visualize cells in a two -dimensional space with an average Nearest Neighbor Error (NNE) rate of 89%, indicating a strong preservation of data structure. Additionally, the Silhouette index and Davis -Bouldin index, which measure clustering accuracy, show significant improvement with averages of 0.66 and 0.50, respectively . Conclusion: The proposed SAMS method by combining the multiscale selfencoder model and the K-means algorithm could obtain better results than the previous methods. Its application in single -cell data analysis can aid researchers in gaining deeper insights into cellular functions and discovering new patterns.

Многомерный анализ эволюции структуры социальной стратификации и трансформации социальных противоречий в Китае XXI века
Authors: Ли Ч. , Ван Ц.
Published: October 2024

Данное исследование посвящено анализу трансформации социальной стратификации в Китайской Народной Республике с начала XXI века. Результаты демонстрируют, что социальная структура КНР подверглась существенным модификациям, в результате которых традиционная классовая дифференциация уступила место многоуровневой системе стратификации. Ключевые аспекты эволюции включают: кардинальные изменения в демографической композиции урбанизированных и аграрных территорий, усложнение взаимоотношений между городом и селом, радикальные трансформации производственных процессов и образа жизни населения, диверсификацию профессиональной структуры, а также углубление социально-экономического неравенства между мегаполисами и малыми городами. Выявленные тенденции привели к обострению социальных противоречий, потенциально способных перерасти в классовые конфликты, и повысили риски "мирной эволюции" и "цветных революций" по западному сценарию. В работе проанализированы меры, предпринятые КПК и правительством для нивелирования этих проблем. Авторы приходят к выводу о необходимости усиления внимания к оптимизации социальной структуры и обеспечению справедливого распределения экономических благ в процессе развития страны с целью сохранения национальной безопасности и социальной стабильности.

This study is dedicated to the analysis of the transformation of social stratification in the People's Republic of China since the early 21st century. The findings demonstrate that the social structure of the PRC has undergone significant modifications, resulting in a shift from traditional class differentiation to a multi-tiered stratification system. Key aspects of this evolution include: radical changes in the demographic composition of urban and rural areas, the increasing complexity of urban-rural relations, radical transformations in production processes and lifestyles, diversification of the professional structure, and the deepening socio-economic inequality between megacities and smaller towns. These trends have exacerbated social contradictions, potentially leading to class conflicts and increasing risks of "peaceful evolution" and "color revolutions" according to Western scenarios. The paper analyzes the measures taken by the CPC and the Chinese government to address these issues. The authors conclude that there is a need to enhance attention to optimizing the social structure and ensuring equitable distribution of economic benefits during the country’s development process to maintain national security and social stability.

The blood is a lifesaving component which cannot be produced but has to donated by healthy donors. The mandatory
screening is done in every donated unit of blood for transfusion-transmitted infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B
virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and syphilis. Blood donation is blessing not only for recipient but for also donors, many of whom are
incidentally detected to be suffering from chronic diseases like Hepatitis B and C which cause signicant morbidity and mortality. Despite
knowing about the importance of blood donation, still a large section in society is averse for the same due to various kind of myths associated with
it. Hence, there is strong need of developing new innovations for increasing awareness among general public for voluntary blood donation which

Effective marketing strategies require understanding of the psychological variables in consumer decision-making
processes, particularly in industries catering to skincare products for marketing products as per individual customer needs
with a focus on sustainability. Studies provide evidence that psychological factors, societal pressure and the physical burden of looking good
inuences consumer behavior. Furthermore, theories in social psychology hint inuence of endorsement and association to a particular product/
brand inuences decision making process. This study explores the inuence of underlying psychological and personality factors during
sunscreen purchase and planned consumers' practice to sun safety measures. We framed 44 statements to address psychological and personality
factors such as persuasion, motivation, perception, and association with association as a reection to personality factors in a semi-structured
interview format and data was collected from 275 young adult participants. Results suggested awareness, brand consciousness and
psychological factors to signicantly impact sunscreen purchase decisions. Interestingly, 'association' as a psychological factor seemed to emerge
as a primary inuencer as compared to persuasion, motivation & perception. Analysis between age and gender was found signicant for
association as a good psychological predictor and extraversion as a personality factor to inuence in sunscreen purchase decisions.

This case study is about a 15-year-old girl who has been diagnosed with portal hypertension and chronic liver disease
(CLD). Over a period of approximately 2 weeks, the patient noticed generalised swelling of her body, including her lower
limbs, abdomen, and her face. Her past featured a recurrence of comparable symptoms and the habit of eating raw, uncooked rice. Pedal oedema,
moderate splenomegaly, and mild icterus were found on physical examination. Hepatitis panels and autoantibody tests came back negative, but
laboratory examinations revealed anaemia, abnormal liver enzymes, and hypoalbuminemia. Imaging tests veried portal hypertension,
splenomegaly, and CLD. Urinary copper levels were raised and ceruloplasmin was on the higher end of normal, supporting the diagnosis of
decompensated CLD with portal hypertension, most likely caused by hepatic Wilson's disease. Nutritional supplements and diuretics were used in
supportive care. In addition to highlighting the need of early identication and comprehensive care to stop the progression of the disease and
improve outcomes, this case emphasizes the signicance of taking CLD and portal hypertension into account in young patients with unexplained
oedema and abdominal distension.

changes in BCVAbetween both groups over the treatment period was statistically signicant, but improvement in Anti-VEGF group was found to
be better. Also, there was a signicantly greater reduction in CMT in the Anti-VEGF group compared to the Photocoagulation group. The
participants treated with Anti-VEGF therapy experienced better outcomes in certain QOL domains (general health, general vision and near
activities) compared to those treated with Photocoagulation therapy. Therefore, anti-VEGF therapy should be considered a preferred treatment
option for patients with diabetic retinopathy, particularly those with diabetic macular edema requiring intervention.

Introduction: The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is escalating, with projections estimating a substantial increase in affected
individuals over the coming decades. In this context, pre-diabetes represents a critical stage necessitating attention due to its potential progression
to full-blown diabetes and associated health complications. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of pre-diabetes among individuals attending
an outpatient department (OPD) at a tertiary care facility in Jaipur, along with exploring its association with various sociodemographic variables
and comorbidities. Materials and Methods:Ahospital-based analytical cross-sectional study was conducted, involving data collection from June
2018 to June 2019. Asample size of 1649 individuals was included, with eligibility criteria focused on age and exclusion of known diabetes cases.
Pre-diabetes was dened based on specic blood glucose levels and assessed using the Indian Diabetic Risk Score (IDRS). Various anthropometric
measurements, biochemical parameters, and socioeconomic indicators were also analysed. Results: The study revealed a pre-diabetes prevalence
of 9.82% among the sampled population, with a signicant association observed with advancing age. However, gender, residential status,
educational status, and socioeconomic status did not exhibit signicant differences between normal individuals and pre-diabetics. Lifestyle factors
such as diet and exercise habits also showed no signicant correlation with pre-diabetes. Notably, pre-diabetic individuals displayed a higher
prevalence of hypertension and a family history of diabetes compared to normal individuals. Discussion: The ndings underscore the universal
concern of pre-diabetes across diverse demographic contexts. Increasing age and familial predisposition emerged as signicant determinants of
pre-diabetes. While lifestyle factors showed no signicant correlation in this study, the association with hypertension and family history of diabetes
highlights the importance of early detection and intervention strategies targeting high-risk individuals. Conclusion: This study emphasises the
signicance of age and familial predisposition in predicting pre-diabetes. Understanding these determinants is crucial for implementing targeted
interventions aimed at early detection and prevention, thus reducing the burden of diabetes and its complications in affected individuals.

of which is TOETVA.The study elaborates the advantages and drawbacks, learning curve, complications and limitations of TOETVA with open
surgery. Study was conducted from June 2019- November 2022 including 52 patients, each group containing 26 patients allocated through serial
sequential sampling method. Thyroid nodule size of 6 cm was taken for both groups, patients with previous neck surgeries, neck scar and neck
radiation were excluded.Mean operating time was 104.07 and 72.21min (p= 0.005), Post operative pain 2.75 and 4.77 (p=0.001), Intraoperative
blood loss of 17.25 and 39.54ml (p=0.001), duration of stay was 5.93 and 9.12 days (p=0.001), cosmesis score was 2.07 and 6.77(p=0.001) noted in
TOETVA and open group respectively. In conclusion, TOETVA has advantages of good cosmesis, less blood loss, hospital stay, post operative pain
while it requires long learning curve with increasing operating time.
تاريخية النص الديني-قراءة في الأسس والتطبيق
Authors: الخواجه سعدية

صورة الوطن في شعر أحمد مطر
Authors: الزبيدي وليد
Published: October 2024

تسلّطُ الدراسةُ الضوءَ على جانب آخر من الجوانب التي دُرستْ في شعر أحمد مطر وأغلبها اتخذ (السخرية) ملاذا وعنواناً، فوجدتني أجد صوراً للوطن الذي يرسمه، ويعاني منه، ويتصوره في أشعاره، وكانت الصور تتصاعد، وتعاكس، وتشاكس أحيانا وتخرج عن المألوف الشعري لأنّ الشاعر اختطّ لذاته وحرفه منهجاً آخر ليجعلَ له هُوية.
وقد وجدتهُ اختلف عن سابقيه الشاعر مظفر النواب والشاعر نزار القباني، فكانت صورة الوطن المغتصب، الوطن المهان، الوطن الظالم، الوطن المنفى، الوطن الذي يأكل أبناءه، ...فهو شاعرٌ رسم في شعره وطناً بعيداً عن الجغرافية وخارطتها وتضاريسها، وخارج التاريخ الذي ذكر في صفحاته صور الأوطان.

Villonodular synovitis (VNS) is a benign tumor of the joint synovium, tendon sheaths and bursae. It is a rare condition of unknown pathogenesis [1], occurring preferentially in the knees. There are localized, diffuse and mixed forms [2]. Although the clinical manifestations are aspecific, MRI allows a diagnostic approach, even if it can have differential diagnostic problems in case of atypia or with synovial sarcoma. Treatment consists of complete removal of the lesion to avoid recurrence [3].
