Authors: Santos Anderson Felipe Leite dos , Pereira Camila de Souza , Santos Marlon Vinicius Ferreira dos
Published: January 2025

Este trabalho tem como principal objetivo relatar criticamente o atual contexto ambiental da avenida beira-rio de Floriano-PI, destacando o impacto antrópico para a saúde ambiental, os riscos de contágio de doenças, principalmente para seus frequentadores, e a atuação do governo local, que despeja esgoto no Rio Parnaíba. Em termos metodológicos, a pesquisa é de natureza empírica e qualitativa, tendo como modalidade principal o estudo de caso. Por meio da pesquisa de campo, realizada entre os meses de fevereiro e março de 2024, ocorreu a investigação in loco do objeto. Os resultados apontam para a falta de sensibilização ambiental dos moradores em relação ao descarte irregular de lixo no Rio Parnaíba e nas suas margens. Nesse sentido, enfatiza-se a necessidade de fiscalização e aplicação de multas para quem descartar resíduos no rio e em seu entorno, além da criação de mutirões de limpeza para dar uma nova reformulação à paisagem que compõe a parte mais visitada da cidade. Também, ações de Educação Ambiental poderiam ser realizadas tanto na beira-rio quanto em escolas, visando sensibilizar crianças e jovens sobre a importância de uma cidade limpa e do Rio Parnaíba para a manutenção das futuras gerações.

Two pyridinium-based new cationic surfactants have been synthesized by the reaction of 2-methylpyridine and 3-methylpyridine with an alkyl halide (1-bromoctadecane) using dry toluene as a solvent to get the compounds, N-(n-octadecyl)-2-methylpyridinium bromide (A1) and N-(n-octadecyl)-3-methylpyridinium bromide (A2), respectively. The synthesized samples were characterized by using various spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized compounds showed a critical micelle concentration in a very low-value range (0.111 mM to 0.125 mM), proving the synthesized compounds' best surface-acting ability. Both compounds exhibited limited antibacterial activity across various bacterial strains, with inhibition zones ranging from 3 to 7 mm. The change in Gibb’s free energy (ΔG) was also calculated from their binding constant (Kb) for samples A1 (-10.0  kJ/mol) and A2 (-19.37 kJ/mol). The samples demonstrated spontaneous interactions with the drug molecules, which proved the efficient bioavailability of the drug due to the best incorporation of drug molecules with the aggregated monomers of surfactant molecules.
Crkva nositeljica nade

Published: January 2025

Zagrebački nadbiskup, metropolit i kardinal Josip Bozanić u vremenu od 1998. do 2023. godine svake je godine upućivao uskrsne poruke. U ovom smo istraživačkom radu u prvom dijelu predstavili teološke i društveno-kulturne teme iz uskrsnih poruka kardinala Bozanića. Teološke teme u središtu imaju Kristovo uskrsnuće, a pojavljuje se i Crkva kao otajstvena i sakramentalna stvarnost te njezino božansko porijeklo, njezina svetost kao i grešnost članova Crkve. Društvene teme u središtu imaju viziju Crkve čije se poslanje ponajviše ostvaruje u služenju u ljubavi kada nastoji ublažiti trpljenja siromašnih i slabih, dok u kulturnim temama, Bozanić piše o jeziku te o odnosu jezika i vjerničkog i nacionalnog identiteta. U drugom smo dijelu Kardinalove uskrsne poruke teološki sistematizirali te iz njih izdvojili glavne naglaske u odnosu na nadu i Crkvu kao nositeljicu nade: Trojstvo kao izvor nade, kršćani su glasnici nade koja preobražava ovaj svijet, nada kao predokus buduće stvarnosti te, konačno, to da je potrebno moliti za nadu. U zaključku se ukratko teološki rekapitulira sve ranije u članku rečeno.
Urban Metaphors Depicted Through the Scenographic Architecture of the TV Series Smallville
Authors: Fontes Millena , Ribeiro Cabral Vieira Larissa
Published: February 2025

Amid the ongoing discussions on Urbanism and  experiences in contemporary cities, this essay explores the influence of the urban scenery on the profile and behavior of the residents through a playful analysis of the TV series Smallville (2001-2011). The narrative follows Clark Kent who grows up in a small rural town and evolves into the hero, Superman. Smallville with its anti-urban values contrasts with Metropolis, a fictional version of New York City, reflecting different urban dynamics. The series’ filmic scenography illustrates metaphors of the city/individual relationship, showing how the urban environment shapes human behavior and contributes to psychosocial well-being. Furthermore, this study conducts a literature review based on theories such as Semiotics, Gestalt, and Neuroarchitecture, examining how scenography in audiovisual productions like the series Gotham (2014-2019)and the film Joker (2019) reflects real cities and influences the thoughts and personalities of the characters. These works highlight the power of urban structure in shaping individual identity and behavior. Ultimately, the essaycontributes to understanding urban dynamics and their influence on individuals, emphasizing the importance of scenography and the environment that was built while constructing narratives and shaping behaviors.

Sannolikheten att hitta föremål vid räddningssök efter försvunnen person : försök med polishundekipage i Region Syd
Authors: Öhman Björn , Frank Jens
Published: January 2025

Räddningssök efter försvunna personer är en viktig uppgift för polisens hundekipage. Syftet med detta försök var att undersöka hur stor andel av eventuella föremål (kassar och vantar) som hittas vid räddningssök efter en försvunnen person samt om träffprocenten skiljer sig mellan olika sökmetoder, utbildningsnivå och avstånd mellan sökslag. Försöket genomfördes som en övning vid regionalveckorna för patrullhundar i polisregion syd.

Totalt deltog 39 hundekipage fördelade över tre veckor under våren 2023. I genomsnitt hittade hundekipage som genomförde sektorsök med lös hund drygt 70% av kassarna och ca 30% av vantarna. Hundekipage som genomförde sektorsök med hunden i koppel hittade strax under 70% av kassarna och 6% av vantarna, och hundekipage som genomförde ledstångssök och skickade hunden ut åt sidorna från ledstången hittade strax under 30% av kassarna, samt strax under 20% av vantarna. Hundekipage som skickade hunden åt höger och vänster från ledstången hittade jämfört med de ekipage som använde någon av de andra metoderna en signifikant lägre andel av de utplacerade kassarna. Det fanns inget samband mellan sökslagens avstånd och andelen hittade små föremål (vantar). Däremot hittades signifikant fler kassar vid kortare avstånd mellan sökslagen än vid längre avstånd mellan sökslagen. Mot bakgrund av att hundekipagen hittade en förhållandevis låg andel av de mindre föremålen och en betydligt större andel av de större föremålen bedömer vi att hundarnas låga förväntan på att söka och hitta mindre föremål gjorde att andra faktorer, som t ex slumpen, fick större effekt.
An Aimless Pursuit of Corporate Independence: A Critique of SEBI’s Efforts to Strengthen Independent Directors
Authors: Kaur Harpreet , Sharma Divyanshu
Published: February 2025

p class="MsoNormal"Independent directors are considered to be the panacea for all corporate evils. It is believed that these external directors can effectively act as corporate watchdogs, thereby reducing the agency conflicts witnessed in corporate entities. With this objective, the Indian legislature introduced the concept of independent directors in 2013. Academic work and practical experience since then have brought to light the failure of these directors to bring in corporate independence. The fundamental flaw of the existing Indian regime of independent directors stems from the transplantation of the concept of independent directors from the UK and the US, where the agency problems faced are different from the ones witnessed in India. Recently, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) have introduced several amendments and reforms to bolster the position of independent directors on corporate boards. According to the authors, all these amendments are shortsighted in nature, as they were introduced to remedy some issues cropping up in the Indian corporate landscape, rather than changing the regulatory framework towards the achievement of a pre-defined Indian concept of corporate independence. The successful pursuit of the goal of corporate independence requires the Indian regulators to have a defined conception of corporate independence, basis which the regulators should revamp the Indian legal framework.
The Enforcement of Intra-EU Arbitral Awards: Some Additional Policy Considerations
Authors: Casas Manuel
Published: February 2025

This article analyses the enforcement of intra-EU investor-state awards from a policy-oriented perspective. The article considers that an exclusively doctrinal or formalistic approach to the question leads to a methodological blind spot, which ignores the broader context of these enforcement actions and the policy considerations that arise from them. To overcome that, the article focuses on the reactions of relevant states following the Court of Justice of the European Union’s (CJEU’s) judgments in Achmea and Komstroy. It explains how, rather than generate backlash, those judgments received widespread support from the EU-Member States, which then took further actions to implement them. Finally, the article considers how, even within the limits of the current enforcement regime, enforcing courts may take into account some policy considerations when determining whether to enforce intra-EU investor-state awards.

Authors: Tanveer Hassan , Batool Nimra , Zahra Namoos
Published: February 2025

Incorporating AI in lung cancer management is a disruptive innovation that has improved diagnosis accuracy, prognosis prediction and treatment modalities. In this literature review, we seek to identify the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in lung cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment between 2010 and 2023. A total of 55 studies were selected systematically from databases such as IEEE Xplore, Scopus and PubMed via a PRISMA-based approach. The analysis reveals that artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and natural language processing (NLP), highly improve the precision of initial detection and imaging of lung cancer. Also, CNN distinguishes between benign and malignant nodules, thus aiding early diagnosis and reducing unnecessary biopsies. On the other hand, NLP is utilized to extract relevant clinical information from electronic health records and unstructured medical texts, thereby enhancing the understanding of patient histories and improving treatment planning. Sensitive and specific scores usually higher than standard techniques characterize these technologies. Results show that traditional statistical approaches couldn’t match AI models whose predictive accuracies are outstanding while providing better care to patients through personalised treatment plans. Furthermore, multi-omics data analysis for personalised treatment planning and clinical decision-making optimisation via Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) powered by AI are some ways artificial intelligence has exhibited its potential in this area. Given this, future studies should aim to fine-tune AI algorithms, improve data integration, and address ethical issues promoting responsible use of AI technologies in clinical practice settings. Despite these advances, data quality, model interpretability, and integration into clinical workflows persist. This review demonstrates the demand for continued research and collaboration from different disciplines so that the complete possibilities of AI in fighting lung cancer may be realized.

Published: February 2025

-In recent years, emotion-based age and gender detection using machine learning has gained significant attention due to its potential applications in various domains, including marketing, security, and human-computer interaction. This study explores the effectiveness of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in accurately classifying age and gender based on facial expressions. Specifically, we leverage advanced architectures such as VGG16 and ResNet, which are renowned for their deep learning capabilities. By utilizing transfer learning techniques, we enhance the feature extraction process from facial images, thereby improving the model's performance on age and gender classification tasks.Our experiments demonstrate that integrating emotional analysis with demographic detection can yield more personalized and context-aware interactions.we present a comparative analysis of the performance of VGG16 and ResNet models in this domain. The results indicate that while both models achieve commendable accuracy, ResNet's residual connections significantly mitigate the vanishing gradient problem, leading to superior performance in recognizing nuanced emotional expressions across different age groups and genders. Additionally, we discuss the implications of these findings in real-world applications, emphasizing the importance of ethical considerations when deploying emotion detection systems. This study contributes to the growing body of research in affective computing and provides a foundation for future advancements in emotion-based demographic detection technologies.

Authors: Ananya Workman  , Chengan Chi  , Ratrawinan Wilertsak  , Khan Muhammad Omer
Published: January 2025

Antibiotics are drugs that have been used to treat bacterial infections since their discovery in the early 20th century. However, antibiotics are becoming less effective or even ineffective for treating bacterial infections due to bacterial mutation and adaptation. Nowadays, antibiotic resistance is becoming a global threat as it increases continuously, while antibiotic development remains stagnant due to high research costs and slow approval processes. Antibiotic resistance correlates with antibiotic overdoses, which can be caused by many factors, for instance, self-medication, overuse, etc. Therefore, we should consider this condition a serious issue that we should be aware of. To control or reduce the rate of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, we need improved infection prevention measures and more accurate diagnostic tools. These can help cope with the currently available antibiotic agents. The main purpose of this article is to summarize current knowledge about antibiotics and provide up-to-date data on the antibiotic resistance crisis, which has caused millions of deaths worldwide, including over three hundred thousand in South Asia. This review article mentions the causes, the environmental factors, the consequences, the mechanisms, the transmissions, the strategies, and lastly, case studies focusing on Southeast Asia. Moreover, future directions are also discussed for further discussion and alternative purposes.
LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES IN THE FOOD CHAIN – RECENT ADVANCEMENTS IN TECHNOLOGIES FOR RAPID DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION
Authors: Balakrishna Konduru , Lakshminarayan Varshini , Ganeshkumar Naveena , Kingston Joseph
Published: January 2025

Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is an opportunistic non-sporing foodborne pathogen that has been responsible for several outbreaks in India and other countries due to consumption of contaminated food and causes a disease called listeriosis. This disease is rare but life-threatening with severe symptoms and a high mortality rate of 20-30%. Lm can easily adapt to adverse environmental and stress conditions, making it a causative agent for major foodborne diseases. The classical culture methods for detection of Lm are simple and inexpensive but they are time consuming, laborious, and slow in providing results. Several alternative methods for identification of this pathogen are being used, which take short time for analysis, require less sample, cost effective and helpful in routine food sample testing. More sophisticated detection approaches are also needed to genetically discriminate strains for epidemiological investigations and to study listeriosis infections. In this review, we provide latest information on rapid and analytical methods for the detection and identification of Lm in foods. An emphasis is also given on techniques for subtyping of Lm strains, which are essential to determine evolutionary relationships between different strains and to track the source of food contamination. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review paper to compile the most recent insights for testing presence of Lm in foods.

Background: Hepatitis B (HB) is a serious “silent infection” with an infection rate of around 325 million worldwide, with an expected death rate of 1.14 million in 2035. Chronic HB is a burden and a threat to People Living with Hepatitis B (PLHB), and it is predicted that the situation for PLHB will become even worse by 2030 if nothing is done to reduce its prevalence and eliminate it.

Objective: To determine the lived experiences of PLHB and their impact on their quality of life.

Methods: The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Protocol was used as a guide to systematically search four electronic databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, published in English from 2000 to 2022 with adult volunteers aged 18 years and above. The data screening and selection process was facilitated by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) 2020 flow chart, and the methodological quality of the studies selected was evaluated using the JBI Critical Assessment Skill Program (JBI CASP). Data analysis and synthesis were done using the JBI qualitative meta-aggregation approach.

Results: Five themes emerged: informational needs, socio-cultural issues as barriers to treatment and care, health system challenges as barriers to healthcare and follow-up, coping strategies to overcome the challenges, and impacts of HB on the psychological, social, spiritual, and physical domains of life.

Conclusion: HB burden is a global burden affecting PLHB caused by several factors such as lack of knowledge, healthcare-seeking behaviors, barriers to healthcare, and healthcare system challenges and policy making. To address these challenges, policymakers and stakeholders are to commit funds for HB health education and the awareness creation, free screening for all, creation of HB clinics for early diagnosis and treatment, as well as subsidizing HB treatment and health insurance subscription at the district levels. More healthcare workers should be trained as professional counselors to address and improve the well-being needs of PLHB.
