Objetivo: Encontrar evidências sobre a utilização de N-acetil-cisteína (NAC) no perioperatório de transplante de fígado, uma vez que a NAC, por ser o precursor acetilado da L-cisteína e da glutationa reduzida, colabora no abastecimento hepático de glutationa ajudando o fígado a se recuperar da lesão de isquemia e reperfusão. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão de escopo nas bases de dados PubMed, BVS e Web of Science. Foram utilizados os descritores “Liver transplantation”, “N-acetyl-cysteine” e “Reperfusion Ischemia”, com o operador booleano “AND”, e selecionados artigos de relevância para o tema. Inicialmente, foram selecionados 60 artigos, todos publicados nos últimos 24 anos, em português e/ou inglês. Após análise, oito artigos corresponderam ao objetivo proposto. Resultados: Os grupos que receberam NAC durante o TxF apresentaram hipotensão pós-reperfusão, menores valores de pH intraoperatório, concentrações plasmáticas mais elevadas de IL-4 e aumento significativo dos níveis de IL-10 cinco minutos antes da reperfusão. Observou-se ainda a inibição da α-glutationa S-transferase (α-GST) após a reperfusão, ao contrário do grupo controle, que apresentou aumento significativo dessa enzima. Além disso, os níveis de sVCAM-1 e sICAM-1 foram significativamente mais baixos no grupo NAC 24 horas após a reperfusão em comparação com o grupo placebo. O valor máximo de AST durante as primeiras 72 horas de pós-operatório foi semelhante em ambos os grupos, embora o pico de ALT tenha sido menor no grupo NAC do que no grupo placebo. Em enxertos que receberam o NAC na solução de perfusão, as taxas de sobrevivência aos 3 e 12 meses foram de 93% e 90%, respectivamente, e no grupo controle foram de 82% e 70%, respectivamente. A incidência de complicações pós-operatórias foi de 23% no grupo com o NAC e de 51% no grupo controle. A incidência de DPE foi menor para o grupo NAC, que apresentou 15% versus 32% do grupo controle. Em relação à administração do NAC durante o intraoperatório do TxF, a taxa de sobrevivência dos pacientes em um ano foi de 78,4% no grupo NAC em comparação com 80,9% no grupo placebo. Conclusão: A administração intraoperatória de NAC durante a fase anepática esteve associada a um efeito protetor contra a lesão de reperfusão, contudo em outros estudos foram observadas limitações na proteção contra lesões hepáticas, nos biomarcadores de estresse oxidativo, na inflamação e no funcionamento das enzimas hepáticas.
Machine Learning Based Customer Churn Prediction in Banking Sector
Authors: Han Shangrong
Published: September 2024

Customers in 21st century have access to a wide range of ways to deposit money, both online and offline, which leads to constant customer churn for the whole banking industry. In order to retain existing customers, the bank sector has been prioritizing building models which aim to predict clients who may exit in the future. In this paper, based on machine learning techniques, different models such as XGboost, Catboost and LightGBM are fitted to the churn modelling dataset from Kaggle, contributing to the prediction of potential bank customer churn. In addition, some methods of feature selection and hyperparameter tunning are used to enhance the performance of final prediction results. The results generated by different models are compared in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, etc. Age and the number of products purchased from the bank are suggested to be 2 factors that greatly influence the prediction results. LightGBM model shows the best general performance and therefore is recommended for future prediction.

From this study, the writer found that the manhaj aqidah of the PSMPB was Ahl Sunnah wal Jama'ah - referring to the books of aqidah Asya'irah and Maturidiyah. In the school of fiqh the PSMPB is Syafi'iyah. Regarding plurality, the PSMPB recognizes that diversity in ethnicity, nation, religion, etc. is God's will, which must be accepted. However, the PSMPB firmly believes theologically that Islam is a true religion and others are heretical. Religious tolerance only applies to the ethical-social context. In the context of Jihad, the PSMPB interpreted it broadly not only in physical warfare, but also in intellectual, and social service. From this it can be understood that the religious paradigm of the PSMPB is wasathiyah.

The command to teach prayer is actually a philosophy that is very meaningful, because it is from prayer that all goodness starts. The punch in question is tarbiyah (education), not a blow that is dangerous because ofemotional. Considering the importance of strengthening the foundations of Islamic creed and mental formation of morality for children, on the other hand the enormous challenges of the effects of globalization of technology and information are very massive, so there is no other choice that the revitalization of religious education must be echoed. This calls for the participation of all education holders, especially the local government and non-formal figures in the community because without the support of all lines, the big goal could not be realized. Mandailing Christmas is not only enough to have the jargon of the City of Santri, the foyer of the mecca of Sumatra etc. without making anticipatory efforts of the dangers of Drugs etc. that are in sight.
Measures to Mitigate Covid-19 in the Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives) of Malaysia: Implications to Parliamentary Privileges
Authors: Saari Muthanna
Published: September 2024

The surge of Covid-19 cases worldwide has had its impact on how every institution discharges its functions, including the legislature. Governments, under the pretext of containing the spread of the virus, have paralysed parliament and incapacitated it from performing its duties, particularly its oversight function. This article explores the extent to which the standard operating procedures (SOP) for Covid-19 in the Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives) of Malaysia should be permitted under the Federal Constitution of Malaysia on parliamentary procedure. Despite attempts to restrict parliament in many countries, legislatures such as in Canada, Australia and Brazil have demonstrated their ability to adapt and move progressively to minimise disruptions that the pandemic might cause toparliament. Taken together, legislatures’ responses in times of Covid-19 offer an interesting impression of parliamentary privileges while also raise an important question of the role of parliament in representing people and checking the government actions.

Published: September 2024

The District Office occupies a significant position in the federal and administrative structure of the country. Yet over the decades, the roles of the District Office and Officer have seemingly taken a less visible and prominent role in the area of development, particularly for the local communities from the district level and below. This paper provides a brief background on the development of the District Office in Peninsular Malaysia and its role in the area of development for the Malaysian nation and society. It examines the challenges faced by the District Offices in Malaysia. The paper further discusses how the District Offices can play a more prominent role in the nation-building and development processes of the country, including in implementing an inclusive development agenda for local communities in Malaysia. To do so, the paper refers to the issue mapping findings of the APPGM-SDG from 2020 to 2023. It focuses on and features these findings to assess the roles and challenges, and the prospective initiatives the District Offices and the APPGM-SDG can together act on to spearhead sustainable development and the formation of inclusive communities.
UN Resolutions on the Role of Parliaments and Parliamentarians in Accelerating the Achievements of the SDGs
Authors: Jayasooria Denison
Published: September 2024

Since the adoption of “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” on 25 September 2015 at the United Nations General Assembly, there have been strong calls for multi-stakeholder engagements in line with SDG 17.17 on partnerships between public, public-private sectors, and civil society. The various calls to different stakeholders include the three resolutions (A/RES/76/270, A/RES/72/278 and A/RES/77/159) adopted by the UN General Assembly on the role of parliaments and parliamentarians in the implementation of the SDGs at the international, national, and local levels. These resolutions highlight the relationship and partnership between the UN and the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in SDGs. Elected Members of Parliament (MPs) are the people’s representatives. They represent their voters at the highest legislative body with an oversight role in areas including the allocations of the national resources through the annual budget and monitoring the effective delivery of services. The MPs play the additional role of being the vehicle to highlight the grievances of the people. In this context, the MPs deliberate relevant policies, programmes and legislation associated with the SDGs such as poverty, health, education, employment, climate change and good governance. This article further highlights the role of four parliamentary groups actively mobilising MPs engaged with the SDGs at the international level. These are the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA), Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA) and Parliamentarians for the Global Goals (PfGG). The article ends with reflections and lessons of the role Malaysian MPs are playing through the APPGM-SDG. There is a need for greater visibility in public policy advocacy in Malaysia and on the global stage. To this end, more resources need to be made available to MPs to encourage their active involvement especially at the United Nations in New York.

Authors: Dumpangol Dana Claudia Undan
Published: September 2024

Malaysia grapples with pressing food security challenges, marked by uneven resource access, fluctuating agricultural yields, and vulnerability to external factors. Recognizing the urgency of these issues, APPGM-SDG has directed its efforts towards fostering both food security and food safety. With 198 ongoing projects this year and 53 successfully completed projects in the previous year, this journal article explores APPGM-SDG’s initiatives in localizing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Malaysia, with a specific focus on community farming projects. The article aims to offer a holistic overview of these projects, delving into their multifaceted impacts and thoroughly examining their farming practices, socio-economic and community dimensions. The methodology involves the promotion of the food security initiative through grant allocation and selection processes for identifying and supporting solution providers. Additionally, insights from the database of the 198 ongoing projects, coupled with two case studies from completed projects, highlight the scale and reach of APPGM-SDG’s endeavors, providing both quantitative and qualitative insights into the tangible outcomes and positive impacts realized within the grassroots communities.
Exploring the State of Mental Well-Being Among B40 Women
Authors: Abd Aziz Nurul Syahirah
Published: September 2024

The solution projects under The All-Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia on the Sustainable Development Goals (APPGM-SDG) have played a significant role in empowering the local communities, particularly women through Income Generation (IG) and Community Learning Center (CLC) projects. The initiative consists of twelve modules on entrepreneurship skills and handholding, with a minimum of 10 to 25 beneficiaries from the B40 category who are mentored by the Solution Provider (SP) throughout the following three to four months. Each project was awarded a RM40,000 grant to provide the beneficiaries with skills and knowledge that will allow them to be independent entrepreneurs. It was discovered through the four case studies that adhered to SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) that certain female beneficiaries were experiencing such high levels of life pressure that negatively impacted their mental health due to a lack of necessary coping strategies to manage the stress and uncomfortable emotions. The reasons vary, ranging from personal issues and societal pressures to the inherent challenges of entrepreneurship.  The finding shows that the project’s method of group activities or social groups enhances the beneficiaries’ mental health by providing them with encouragement, hope, and drive to succeed in life. It is also highly recommended to provide mental health awareness as one of the compulsory modules in the solution projects to equip women with appropriate coping techniques for overall success.

Authors: Njoroge Miriam Wacu , Abuodha Silvester O , K. Kabando Erastus , Achieng Kevin O
Published: September 2024

Accurate prediction of tensile stresses in repair mortars is vital for the long-term durability of rehabilitated concrete structures. Existing analytical models are based on the material property theory and often struggle to capture the intricate and non-linear behavior exhibited by different mix types used in concrete. To address the limitation of existing models, neural networks were employed as a modelling approach for more robust and versatile predictions. The data used in developing the models was obtained from laboratory experiments. The input variables to the ANN model included: water content, cement, silica fume, superplasticizer, admixture, and age. Three distinct ANN-based models were developed based on: ordinary Portland cement, 10% silica fume as a partial replacement of cement and a combination of the two binder types. These models were evaluated using four performance metrics: coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). When mortars with ordinary Portland cement was used as a binder, the R2, MAE, MAPE, and RMSE were 99.74%, 0.0808, 0.0397, and 0.0138, respectively. For mortars with 10% silica fume, the ANN model predicted restrained shrinkage stresses in mortars with R2, MAE, MAPE, and RMSE values of 99.25%, 0.0090, 0.0731, and 0.3161, respectively. When both binders were used, the R2, MAE, MAPE, and RMSE were 99.77%, 0.0093, 0.0804, and 0.1775, respectively. The application of neural networks for predicting restrained shrinkage stresses in repair mortars outperforms conventional models with enhanced accuracy and reliability. The developed ANN models serve as powerful tools for assessing and optimizing the performance of repair mortars, enabling more efficient and precise design strategies in concrete repair.

Published: September 2024

Liver transplantation represents a pivotal intervention in the management of end-stage liver disease, offering a lifeline to countless patients. Despite significant strides in surgical techniques and organ procurement, ethical dilemmas and debates continue to underscore this life-saving procedure. Navigating the ethical terrain surrounding this complex procedure is hence paramount. Dissecting the nuances of ethical principles of justice, autonomy and beneficence that underpin transplant protocols worldwide, we explore the modern challenges that plaques the world of liver transplantation. We investigate the ethical dimensions of organ transplantation, focusing on allocation, emerging technologies, and decision-making processes. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and Central were searched from database inception to February 29, 2024 using the following keywords: “liver transplant”, “transplantation”, “liver donation”, “liver recipient”, “organ donation” and “ethics”. Information from relevant articles surrounding ethical discussions in the realm of liver transplantation, especially with regards to organ recipients and allocation, organ donation, transplant tourism, new age technologies and developments, were extracted. From the definition of death to the long term follow up of organ recipients, liver transplantation has many ethical quandaries. With new transplant techniques, societal acceptance and perceptions also play a pivotal role. Cultural, religious and regional factors including but not limited to beliefs, wealth and accessibility are extremely influential in public attitudes towards donation, xenotransplantation, stem cell research, and adopting artificial intelligence. Understanding and addressing these perspectives whilst upholding bioethical principles is essential to ensure just distribution and fair allocation of resources. Robust regulatory oversight for ethical sourcing of organs, ensuring good patient selection and transplant techniques, and high-quality long-term surveillance to mitigate risks is essential. Efforts to promote equitable access to transplantation as well as prioritizing patients with true needs are essential to address disparities. In conclusion, liver transplantation is often the beacon of hope for individuals suffering from end-stage liver disease and improves quality of life. The ethics related to transplantation are complex and multifaceted, considering not just the donor and the recipient, but also the society as a whole.
Imaging-based prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after microwave ablation as bridge therapy: A glimpse into the future
Authors: Lindner Cristian , San Martín Rodrigo , Concha Andrés , Clemo David , Valenzuela Jorge
Published: September 2024

Liver transplantation (LT) remains the treatment of choice for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and offers the best long-term oncological outcomes. However, the increasing waiting list for LT has led to a significant dropout rate as patients experience tumor progression beyond the Milan criteria. Currently, locoregional therapies, such as microwave ablation (MWA), have emerged as promising bridge treatments for patients awaiting LT. These therapies have shown promising results in preventing tumor progression, thus reducing the dropout rate of LT candidates. Despite the efficacy of MWA in treating HCC, tumoral recurrence after ablation remains a major challenge and significantly impacts the prognosis of HCC patients. Therefore, accurately diagnosing tumoral recurrence post-ablation is crucial. Recent studies have developed novel imaging features based on magnetic resonance imaging of HCC, which could provide essential information for predicting early tumoral recurrence after MWA. These advancements could address this unresolved challenge, improving the clinical outcomes of patients on the LT waiting list. This article explored the current landscape of MWA as a bridge therapy for HCC within the Milan criteria, highlighting the emerging role of novel imaging-based features aimed at improving the prediction of tumor recurrence after MWA.

Published: September 2024

In this article, we have calculated the soil temperature analysis using GIS technologies. For this purpose, the Eastern Zangezur region, encompassing the territories of Kalbajar, Lachin, Gubadli, Zangilan and Jabrayil, was chosen as the research area. The selection of this region is particularly due to its long-term occupation and subsequent liberation after 30 years, creating the necessity for research in the establishment and development of agriculture.
In our research, we used images obtained from LANDSAT-8 and LANDSAT-9 satellites. Attention was given to ensure minimal cloud cover in the images at the time of acquisition, and the selected capture dates covered the same period. Subsequently, using GIS technologies and mathematical-statistical methods, analysis was conducted, and the result of the research was presented as a map-scheme of the area.
Given the scientific-practical significance of this article, it can be of paramount importance in the research of engineers, scientists, meteorologists, etc., when it comes to understanding the importance of research.

First we will offer a general overview since this will determine the typology of the population attended to and the way that the intervention is carried out. Then, the personal evolution of a family is described by different criteria, throughout a process that lasts years, and through treatments that were carried out. All of this heading towards a change that allowed them to redefine themselves as people and later as a family. This process lends itself to a discussion about the aspects that came up from the project carried out, once a period of time has passed. CITE AS:Falcón Bueno, M., Gómez Del Toro, R., Rodríguez Casero, A. & Trancoso Vergara, J.A.

Data shows that most of our old people are in fact cared by their families, that old people prefer staying at home than living in institutions and that, sometimes, to assist old people may be a heavy burden difficult to stand. CITE AS:Barreto Martín, M.P., Pérez Marín, M., Molero Zafra, M. & Gómez Cantos, M.J.

Before the shortage of investigations around the discursive mechanisms that promote the knowledge shared, it is done necessary to continue the investigation around the educational strategies that promote the construction joint of the knowledge among the students. Two teachers, under a same task of discussion, they assume different goals that are going to influence in the elaboration of diverse strategies of construction of the knowledge. This article themselves center in the process of joint elaboration of the information. For it: (1) We devise a categories of analysis that permit to deepen in the joint construction of the knowledge from the reading of stories; (2) We offer the description of diverse didactic sequences in function of this system of observation, and (3) We analyzeand we compare the evolution of the strategies of interaction, unfolded in the two groups observed, by the teachers and on the part of the students.The sample is formed by two classes of two public schools of Burgos (Spain), and Tampico (México). In each class 6 groups of 3 children are observed. The decision on what children they form part of each group has delegated itself in the teachers. The joint analysis offers a very useful difference between two strategies of learning, that are keys in the narrations reading objectives: recovery and comprehension. The knowledge limited of the world and of the human actions compromises directly the comprehension, and the shortage of communicative and narrative abilities complicates the recovery.

Autism is a neuropsychological disorder that began to be diagnosed just few decades ago. In 1943, Leo Kanner described it for the first time, being the beginning of the clinical study of a syndrome that, until that moment, was unknown.

The aim of this work is to make a historical trip to ascertain which has been the outcome of the clinical and developmental studies of the autistic disorder up till now. To this end, the most significant moments that have contributed to define autism as currently known are highlighted. CITE AS:López Gómez, S., Rivas Torres, R.M. & Taboada Ares, E.M. (2010).

Because it is very important a good early diagnosis of the emotional dysfunctions, this work aims to determine if the Bender Test could be used as discriminator of children’s anxiety. The Bender Test and STAIC were applied to 722 subjects from 9 to 11 years. By Pearson correlation coefficient we obtain that neither Bender Test, neither emotional indicators proposed by Koppitz (1981), are valid predictors of anxiety. Only between confused order indicator, and the Scale of Anxiety-State was found a significantcorrelation.

The importance of these experiences as a valuable resource was researched beginning in 2003 in the Mara Selvini Palazzoli School in Milan and beginning in 2007 with trainees of the Institute of Family Therapy in Santiago de Chile (this project continues). Being a work in process we can present some  preliminary conclusions that will be subject to further investigations and which will be presented in detail in future publications.

The migration of people from places with huge economical or security problems to areas with broader guarantees has become a relevant topic of our age. The difficulties of the migration process itself raise when the migrating subjects are underage non accompanied children. The present study wants to show the results obtained in a pilot project where 12 Moroccan minors took part in a group treatment focused on family. From each participant, pretest and posttest measures were obtained in variables such as depression, self steem, alexythimia and family relationship. The statistical analysis show significative pretest-postest differences on each studied variable, as well as high effect sizes. These results suggest that when working with non accompanied foreign children the family of origin of the minor is a relevant factor that must be taken into account. CITE AS:Ochoa De Alda Martínez De Apelániz, I., Antón Romero, J., Rodríguez Nieto, A. & Atabi Sakia, H.
