The Capability of E-reviews in Online Shopping. Integration of the PLS- SEM and ANN Method
Authors: Quan Tri Dang , Thanh Luan Nguyen , Thuy Thanh Nguyen Thi
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of e-review on iGen's propensity to purchase online. Especially, it can be better understood by dissecting the relationship among 3 variables of e-review (review valence, quantity of e-review and quality of e-review), e-satisfaction, and intention to buy.
 
Theoretical framework: This study classifies e-reviews according to their valence, quantity, and quality based on the study of Khammash (2008).
 
Design/methodology/approach: The PLS-SEM method was used to analyze data collected from online surveys administered to a sample of 222 iGen in Ho Chi Minh City to assess the hypotheses behind the study. Additionally, the Artificial Neural Network technique was used to separate SEM predictors that were relatively important.
 
Findings:  There are three results from the investigation: It has been found that (1) e-satisfaction is positively affected by valence, (2) e-satisfaction is generally increased with the high quality of e-review, but the quantity of e-review does not necessarily affect customers' e-satisfaction, and (3) e-satisfaction given in the context of an e-commerce platform has a strong effect on customers' online shopping intention. This study sheds new light on iGen's online buying habits and offers valuable management implications for iGen, online merchants, and e-commerce sites.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications:  E-reviews have become a significant factor in determining consumers' online purchase decisions. They also assist iGen in understanding how a qualified e-review—one that is clear, understandable, helpful, and has enough justification to support the opinions—will be advantageous for other consumers who wish to shop online.
 
Originality/value:  Provides the theory of e-review and its role in the online business environment. In addition, understand more about the behavior of igen, an age with a huge amount of spending on an online shopping platform.
How effective is the banking and financial services sector in the United Arab Emirates in using technological innovations
Authors: Jumaa M.
Published: July 2023

The paper’s goal is to determine the current state and trends of Fintech development in the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) financial sector, customer satisfaction with financial technology implementation in the banking sector, and the impact of financial technologies on the efficiency and competitiveness of financial and banking institutions. Qualitative research conducted through a structured questionnaire is designed to collect data from 500 banking service clients in the UAE. The data was collected through email communication and WhatsApp using Google forms. The data was evaluated using the Likert scale of five-point: 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree. According to the survey results, the majority of respondents are familiar with FinTech services. The most demanded FinTech service was an app for financial management. Furthermore, the majority of respondents stated that the services they supplied were innovative to them, and the same percentage stated that they were pleased with the services given by their banks. Hence, better service associated with FinTech is seen as a major incentive for them to leave their current bank to the digital one. In addition, when selecting a bank, reliability is the most important criterion, with ease of use of its services ranking in second.
Impact of the board of directors’ structure on the company’s financial results
Authors: Krasnov A. N. , Balynin I. V. , Shmeleva L. A.
Published: July 2023

Subject of study — role of corporate governance practices in managing the largest Russian banks. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that decisions affecting financial results of companies depend on socio-demographic characteristics of their decision-makers and technology of these decisions. The Board of Directors is the body that controls the activities of management, and the efficiency of management decisions depends on its structure. The aim of the study is to estimate the influence of socio-demographic characteristics of directors on financial results of banks. In this research the authors use such method as panel regression analysis to estimate the significance of the obtained results. The sample captures the data on 6 largest Russian banks by total assets for the period 2011–2020. As the result, gender board diversity has a positive and statistically significant impact both on ROA and ROE. Meanwhile, the influence of national diversity on ROE is insignificant whereas the effect of this variable on ROA is significant and negative. In addition to board diversity features, business size is also an important determinant of profitability. The negative influence of this indicator should not be understood literally. The largest Russian banks are examined in this article, so the growth in the volume of their assets is associated with a decline in profitability in relative terms. The analysis also reveals that board independence and leverage do not affect profitability. Conclusion confirm a positive influence of board gender diversity on financial performance of Russian banks. Along with that, a negative impact of national diversity and an insignificant impact of board independence refute the results reported by both foreign and Russian authors. Further research on the influence of corporate governance practices on financial performance of Russian companies is required.
Methodology for assessing information disclosure on stakeholder risks in non-financial reporting of oil and gas companies
Authors: Loc Thi Doan , Kazakova N. A.
Published: July 2023

The subject of the study was the public non-financial reporting of oil and gas companies in Vietnam and Russia. The research methodology is based on the analysis of theories, methods for assessing and rating the best practices of public non-financial reporting from the standpoint of disclosing stakeholder risks when making economic, including investment decisions. The analysis revealed the limitations of the studied methods within the framework of openness and the absence of an important component of quantifying the satisfaction of stakeholders with the disclosure of information that is of high importance to them from in terms of key risks associated with the company’s activities. In this regard, the purpose of the study was to develop a methodology and analytical tools to assess the degree of disclosure of information about stakeholder risks in the non-financial reporting of oil and gas sector companies (the degree of satisfaction of the most significant stakeholders). The methodology is based on the identification and correlation of companies’ key risks with the interests of the most significant stakeholders, which is the theoretical significance of the study, and also includes a compliance approach, mathematical and statistical assessment of the degree of satisfaction of stakeholders’ interests. The empirical base of the study was the 20 leading companies in Russia according to the RUIE 2022 ranking and the 23 largest companies in Vietnam according to the VN 500 2022 ranking in terms of revenue. The practical significance of the methodology lies in the fact that its results make it possible to increase the effectiveness of the company’s communications with the most significant stakeholders in order to achieve the goals set in the field of sustainable development.
VLADIMIR VERNADSKY’S THOUGHTS CONCERNING THE BIOSPHERE, NETWORK STRUCTURES, AND CHAPERONES
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Oleskin Aleksandr
Published: July 2023

Vladimir Vernadsky’s scientific and philosophical legacy still holds much value for the present-day world. It is largely concerned with the potential importance of two decentralized structures which can efficiently function on our planet. These are (i) the biosphere, construed as an integral entity, and (ii) the noösphere, a planet-wide human brains-based “film”. A fascinating mystery is the mechanism of the biosphere’s coordination and stable operation; important evidence has recently been presented concerning the probable regulatory role of the biosphere-wide field of signal molecules (ecomones) which include many neurotransmitters. As for the currently developing noösphere, humankind still has to invent strategies of conscious managing its activities. It is suggested that the functioning of the decentralized global noöspheric network should be subject to regulation by social chaperones. This term refers to network structures which subtly guide and promote the activities of other decentralized network structures in society.

Published: July 2023

In the northwestern part of the Saratov Volga region, an unusually large (more than 4 m) for the region erratic boulder of an irregularly rounded polygonal shape was found, composed of Shoksha quartzite with sandstone and gravelstone interlayers. Its locality was investigated by a special expedition, the sample was removed from the parent substrate, moved more than 220 km and installed on the territory of the Saratov State Technical University named after Yu.A. Gagarin. The experience of exhibiting it on the university campus showed the effectiveness of implanting the object into the system of landscape design of the territory, turning it into one of the symbols of the university and an element of cultural space, as well as the rationality of positioning it as an original museum exhibit in the format of the Natural History Museum of the SSTU. Today, the specimen is a key element of the “ice age micropark” being developed in the open air and is thematically associated with a part of the exposition of the central hall of the Museum of Natural History of the SSTU, reflecting the Quaternary stage of the development of nature and man. In addition to excursion activities, the exhibit is used to deliver field lectures and conduct specially designed practical classes on the «foundations of geology», «historical geology», «Earth science», and other disciplines. All accompanying materials collected by the expedition are arranged in the form of a special collection of the museum’s scientific funds. Assessment of the object from the standpoint of geo-heritage allows us to propose giving it the status of a natural monument of local importance.

THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON CAMEROONIAN ENGLISH
Authors: Alobwede Charles Esambe
Published: July 2023

Social media has emerged as a popular new technology that has spread all over the different sectors in Cameroon: education, business, government, print media, audiovisual media, etc. This new means of communication has eased the exchange of thoughts and ideas. The internet, as an aspect of new technologies, came along with a deviant form of writing peculiar to the younger generation in general and the Cameroonian youth in particular. This new system of communication gave rise to what is known as computer-mediated communication, which had become widely spread within the educational milieu in Cameroon. Social media has negatively influenced the use of Standard English in Cameroon, especially written texts, given that aspects of computer-mediated communication have rapidly replaced conversational writing forms. Such development in communication has affected language, which has gradually shifted from its original sound, sign, or symbol and complex sentence structures governed by grammatical rules to the language of text messaging with its simple syntax, incomplete sentence forms, informal structures, and modified ideograms known as emojis (happy faces, sad faces, excitement figures, blushing faces, etc.). This research aimed at analysing the writings of students at the University of Yaounde 1 to show the extent to which the use of social media has affected the written rendition of these students. To elucidate this, a study was done by analyzing their scripts and text messages. The communication accommodation theory was adopted to arrive at the expected results.

A problemática ambiental vivenciada pelas cidades, exerce grande poder de impacto nas relações sociais do ambiente
urbano, levando a uma observação nas questões de planejamento adotados no decorrer dos últimos tempos. Atualmente
os vestígios naturais distribuídos no meio urbano exercem grandes funções ecossistêmicas, que não são levadas em
consideração e acabam caindo no descaso e esquecimento na demanda de crescimento e expansão das cidades. Dessa
forma, acabam sendo sufocadas e engolidas pelas cinzas edificações e a alta poluição, visto que, poderiam agregar
funções recreativas para a sociedade e conservação do meio ambiente.
Em vista a estes problemas, a proposta a seguir tratará a formação de um parque linear com princípios ecológicos e sociais
em uma das áreas públicas vítima da negligencia urbanística, visando exemplificar uma melhor maneira para a
conservação do espaço em respeito aos recursos naturais fornecidos pelo meio ambiente, dispondo de estratégias
sustentáveis que contrapõem os efeitos de degradação socioambientais, e que, pode contribuir para a sociabilidade,
vitalidade e dinamismo da região.

A síndrome de Brugada (SBr) e a síndrome do QT longo congênito (SQTL) são as canalopatias de maior prevalência na população, com grande importância em jovens recuperados de parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR). É comum o diagnóstico em pacientes assintomáticos, seja por achados de eletrocardiograma ou por rastreamento familiar. En-tretanto, mesmo sem eventos prévios, esses pacientes apresentam risco aumentado para arritmias graves em relação à população geral. O manejo dos pacientes assintomáticos envolve o acompanhamento clínico periódico, reforço de medidas comportamentais e atualização de ferramentas complementares para estratificação de risco. O eletrocardio-grama (ECG) de 12 derivações identifica os casos de fenótipo manifesto e, em alguns casos, está indicado o teste provocativo específico para SBr (ajmalina) e SQTL (Viskin e teste ergométrico). O teste genético está cada vez mais difundido e acessível, estando indicado no diagnóstico, para estratificação de risco na SQTL e para rastreamento familiar na SBr. A estratificação de risco é gene guiada na SQTL e, na SBr, ainda controversa, baseada em sinais eletrocardiográficos e estudo eletrofisiológico. A indicação de cardio-desfibrilador implantável (CDI) em assintomáticos é individualizada

Extrassístoles ventriculares são um achado frequente na prática cardiológica. Quando ocorrem em corações normais, habitualmente têm uma evolução benigna, no entanto, sua presença em corações com cardiopatia estrutural pode estar associada a risco aumentado de morte súbita. Avaliar a presença de sintomas e a densidade da arritmia é uma etapa fundamental no seguimento desses pacientes. Em suas apresentações mais graves, podem resultar em disfunção ventricular e insuficiência cardíaca. A presença de múltiplas morfologias sugere um pior prognóstico. O tratamento farmacológico apresenta resposta limitada em muitos pacientes. A ablação por cateter das arritmias ventriculares é uma área em rápido crescimento dentro da eletrofisiologia, e técnicas modernas de mapeamento e ablação podem resultar na cura dessa arritmia em mais de 90% dos casos, a depender da sua localização e da experiência do intervencionista. Abordaremos nessa revisão aspectos de relevância clínica ao cardiologista e como a ablação por cateter pode se estabelecer como a primeira linha de tratamento desses pacientes quando bem indicada, compreendendo suas limitações e potenciais no tratamento definitivo dessa condição clínica

A fibrilação atrial é a arritmia cardíaca sustentada mais frequente. O uso de anticoagu-lantes orais diretos e antagonistas da vitamina K é indicado para reduzir o risco de eventos tromboembólicos em pacientes com fibrilação atrial. A varfarina é um medicamento que apresenta estreita faixa terapêutica, alta variação dose-resposta e interações alimentares e medicamentosas que aumentam o risco de reações adversas decorrentes de seu uso. Os anticoagulantes orais diretos foram introduzidos mais recentemente na prática clínica e, em comparação com a varfarina, não apresentam estreita faixa terapêutica, e possuem menos interações com outros fármacos e com alimentos. Contudo, seu uso não está isento de risco de eventos adversos. Estudos na literatura sugerem que o serviço farmacêutico contribui para o manejo da terapia com anticoagulantes orais, melhorando a qualidade da terapia no Brasil e no mundo, tendo um papel fundamental no plano terapêutico. Desta forma, a presença do farmacêutico no acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico é capaz de contribuir e impactar a qualidade da terapia anticoagulante do paciente. Porém, é necessária a capacitação adequada do profissional farmacêutico para a realização do acompanhamento seguro.

As doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) correspondem à principal causa de morte em todo o mundo e no Brasil. As mortes por DCV correspondem a um terço dos óbitos por todas as causas e acometem homens e mulheres em todas as faixas etárias, representando mais do que o dobro das mortes por todas as neoplasias associadas. As principais causas de mortalidade cardiovascular na mulher são: doença isquêmica cardíaca (DIC) e doença cerebrovascular, tendo esta última maior percentual no sexo feminino. A prevalência de DCV, segundo o Estudo de Carga Global de Doença (Global Burden of Disease) de 2019, foi de 6,1% da população em 2019, sendo 51% do sexo masculino. Entre 1990 e 2019, houve redução da taxa de prevalência de 8,7% nos homens, e as mulheres, 12,8%. Houve aumento da prevalência de DCV nesse período nos jovens de 15–49 anos de ambos os sexos, bem como maior prevalência das DCV nas mulheres até o ano de 2011, a partir do qual a prevalência das DCV nos homens foi maior. Porém, nas mulheres, a prevalência e mortalidade por DCV após a menopausa tem aumentado, o que representa uma grande preocupação em relação ao envelhecimento e adoecimento da população feminina no Brasil. Portanto, trata-se de tema de extrema importância para discussão, tanto para melhora da assistência, quanto para adequado planejamento de políticas públicas que abarquem a saúde da mulher.

A doença cardiovascular constitui a principal causa de morte na mulher e a incidência de doença aterosclerótica aumenta de forma dramática na mulher de meia-idade, par-ticularmente no período de transição para a menopausa, considerada um fator de risco cardiovascular acelerado. Dessa forma, esse momento deve ser encarado como uma janela crítica para a implementação de estratégias de intervenção precoce para reduzir o risco cardiovascular. Infelizmente, o risco de doença cardiovascular na mulher não tem sido adequadamente identificado e valorizado, de acordo com as peculiaridades relacionadas a sexo, gênero e patologias específicas da mulher. Os escores clássicos de risco cardiovascular não estão adaptados à mulher e seu risco é apenas adiado em 10 anos. Assim, para além dos principais fatores de risco cardiovascular clássicos, devem ser pesquisadas todas as condições clínicas exclusivas da mulher, associadas ao aumento e, por vezes, ao início precoce de doenças cardiovasculares. Com frequência, os sintomas de doença coronária na mulher tendem a ser atípicos, o que dificulta o diagnóstico e atrasa a instituição do tratamento. Desta forma, perante a suspeita de doença coronária aterosclerótica, as mulheres devem ser cuidadosamente investigadas. Observamos que as mulheres apresentam de forma geral menor carga aterosclerótica total e menor carga aterosclerótica não calcificada quando comparadas aos homens. Na síndrome coronariana aguda, o mecanismo mais frequentemente observado em mulheres é a erosão da placa aterosclerótica, e não a ruptura desta. Precisamos, assim, construir um novo paradigma para a melhoria da qualidade da saúde cardiovascular da mulher com um novo olhar que vá além da abordagem clássica, capaz de integrar todas as especificidades relacionadas com o sexo e o gênero.

As doenças cardiovasculares são a principal causa de morte por doença não trans-missível entre as mulheres no Brasil e no mundo e, apesar disso, o cuidado da mulher em relação às doenças cardiovasculares ainda é negligenciado, havendo subvalorização de sintomas, assim como investigação e tratamento inadequados. O pouco reconhecimento de importantes diferenças biológicas entre mulheres e homens, bem como particularidades em suas respectivas respostas a estresses sociais, ambientais e comportamentais, ocorre até os dias de hoje, em parte, em decorrência da sub-representação das mulheres em todos os aspectos da pesquisa clínica. Além disso, as calculadoras de risco cardiovascular não incorporam fatores de risco adicionais ou específicos do sexo. Dessa forma, uma abordagem mais abrangente é essencial para a avaliar o risco cardiovascular em mulheres, levando em consideração manifestações das doenças cardiovasculares específicas de sexo e gênero, que se traduzem em particularidades na investigação, abrangendo desde a indicação adequada de exames subsidiários, assim como a interpretação correta dos resultados obtidos. Essa revisão aborda os métodos de avaliação na investigação da doença cardiovascular na mulher, com suas indicações, peculiaridades e limitações.

Published: July 2023

The modern workplace had dramatically changed because the nature of work, workforce and work relations had changed; hence, the changes in the needs of industries. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between Nigerian industries and the factor inputs that formed the needs of industries with keen aim on the Technical and Vocational Education and Training. Using the Central Bank of Nigeria Data, Vector Autoregression was used to test the relationship among the series of yearly output of all industries and the service sector in Nigeria from 1982 to 2021. The Technical and Professional Service subsector was used as one of the independent variables in the service sector. The Johansen Cointegration Test was used to test for convergence and long-term relations between industries and the service sector. The Wald Test was used to test for the significance of coefficients of Technical Services inputs on the Industrial Output. The VAR shows that more than 95% variation in the Industrial Output are explainable by variations in the factor inputs. The pairwise Granger Causality Test was used to test for the short run causality between the industrial output and the factor input. The study found that of Technical and Telecommunication services impacted on the changes in the Industrial Output in in the short run. The study recommended the need for the increase in the funding of TVET institutions, improvement in the quality of TVET training to include soft skills in order to meet the industrial requirements for the changing world of works and increased public – private partnership in order to transfer class training to the field.
Misdiagnosed ruptured cornual ectopic pregnancy: Case report and literature review

Published: July 2023

Ruptured ectopic pregnancy is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cornual ectopic pregnancy is a specific type that occurs at the horn of the uterus. It often ruptures later that than the more common tubal ectopic pregnancies because of the more distensible myometrial tissues surrounding the gestational sac. The diagnosis of cornual pregnancy poses a lot of challenges to sonographers because of its closeness to the body of the uterus necessitating a lot of skill and expertise. Rupture of a cornual ectopic pregnancy is life threatening because of associated massive haemorrhage. Treatment is mostly by emergency laparotomy and cornual resection with salpingectomy or hysterectomy. Here, we report a case of cornual ectopic pregnancy at 11 weeks gestational age that was misdiagnosed as intra uterine gestation until it ruptured. Patient had laparotomy with right cornual resection and ipsilateral salpingectomy. Ruptured cornual ectopic pregnancy and its morbidities and mortalities should be prevented through detailed early first trimester examinations. Ultrasonography especially the transvaginal modality remains a very helpful but occasionally inconclusive tool in the diagnosis of this life-threatening condition.
Commentary on the role of berberine in addition to methimazole compare to methimazole alone in the treatment of Graves’ Diseas
Authors: A. Manov  , S. Chauhan  , A. Donepudi
Published: July 2023

Graves’ Disease (GD) is the most common form of hyperthyroidism. It affects 3% of female patients and 0.5% of male patients usually between the age of 30-60. It is the cause of 80% of hyperthyroid cases in the USA. The pathogenesis of the disease is complex and autoimmunity plays a key role. The antibodies stimulating the thyrotropin receptor (TRAb) lead to uncontrolled Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH) overproduction of thyroid hormones from the overactive thyroid gland. The disease is frequently associated with Graves's ophthalmopathy, dermatopathy, and clubbing. It affects the whole body with deleterious effects on the Cardiovascular system, vision, bones, etc. The treatment of the disease is with anti-thyroid medications, Radioactive iodine, or thyroid surgery each one of which has its pluses and minuses. Other factors like Genetic, inflammatory, immune, environmental factors, etc. play critical roles in disease pathogenesis as well. In this article, we are discussing the newfound role of the gut-thyroid axis in the pathogenesis of GD. We are describing the role of the probiotic Berberine added to the anti-thyroid medication Methimazole in changing the gut microbiota by increasing the benefits and decreasing the deleterious bacteria in the gut. This can lead to the induction of anti-inflammatory cytokines and reduction of inflammatory ones which can regulate the immune system faster and better than with treatment with Methimazole alone. This treatment combination can eventually lead through the effect on the gut-thyroid axis to faster disappearance of the TRAb and remission and cure of GD.
An Interactional Account of Empathy in Human-Machine Communication
Authors: Concannon Shauna , Roberts Ian , Tomalin Marcus
Published: July 2023

Efforts to develop empathetic agents, or systems capable of responding appropriately to emotional content, have increased as the deployment of such systems in socially complex scenarios becomes more commonplace. In the context of human-machine communication (HMC), the ability to create the perception of empathy is achieved in large part through linguistic behavior. However, studies of how language is used to display and respond to emotion in ways deemed empathetic are limited. This article aims to address this gap, demonstrating how an interactional linguistics informed methodological approach can be applied to the study of empathy in HMC. We present an analysis of empathetic response strategies in HMC and examine how these diverge from the practices employed in human-human dialogue. The specific challenges encountered by current systems are reviewed and their implications for future work on HMC considered.

Comparative test for polymer and organosilicon film quality marking in nanosecond fiber laser processing
Authors: Pryakhin Evgeny , Troshina Elena
Published: July 2023

To identify products at all stages of production, a code mark is used by two-dimensional DataMatrix barcoding. Due to the fact that there are different types of surfaces, marking with the help of self-adhesive polymer film materials, where the infor-mation is recorded by a laser using the DPM (Direct Part Marking) method, is becoming increasingly popular. These films, called "laser films", are often used in manufacturing, especially in the automotive industry, as they have a number of ad-vantages compared to other information carriers. However, such films (tesa 6930, 3M 7847) are mostly imported and expen-sive, and also have an operating temperature limit of up to 250 °C, which is sometimes insufficient. The article discusses foreign and domestic films, including polymer NPM012 and organosilicon LP2. LP series are a new group of organosilox-ane–based laser films allowing the use of laser marking for parts operating up to 1000 °C. The article provides a compara-tive analysis of the labeling of polymer films and organosilicon films in accordance with international standards of auto-matic identification and data collection technologies. Laser marking is performed using a nanosecond fiber laser with a power of 30 watts and a wavelength of 1,064 microns. DataMatrix (GS1) is used as a barcode according to the Russian sys-tem of marking and keeping track of goods "Honest Mark". Marking quality assessment is carried out by scanning verifier to check the compliance validation for ISO/IEC standards. The article describes the adjustment of laser barcoding technologi-cal parameters for ensuring high-quality marking.

Background: Klebsiella has developed multiple-drug resistance (MDR) to a wide range of medicines, including carbapenems and third generation cephalosporins which are often regarded as the most effective drugs against MDR bacteria. The present study examined the anti-klebsiella, modes of action, and antibiotic-resistance reversal potential of Syzygium jambos (Myrtaceae) leaf (SJL) and bark (SJB) methanol extracts towards a panel of sixteen MDR K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca strains and clinical isolates. Methods: The anti-klebsiella potential of SJL and SJB was assessed by determining the minimal inhibitory (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentrations (MBC) using broth microdilution. Extracts were tested alone, in combination with an efflux pump inhibitor (PaβN), and in association with conventional antibiotics at their sub-inhibitory concentrations. Effects of SJL were also evaluated on bacterial kinetic growth, H+-ATPase-mediated pump, and cell membrane integrity, using standards. Results: SJL and SJB were shown to have anti-klebsiella action, with MICs ranging from 64 to 2048 g/mL. SJL was found to be more effective, acting on all tested pathogens with 100 ≤ MIC ≤ 2048 µg/mL, indicating considerable to moderate activity and generating bactericidal effects on more than half of the MDR Klebsiella strains investigated. SJL also produced a remarkably active effect (MIC ≤ 100 µg/mL), with MIC of 64 µg/mL against K. pneumoniae KP26. In the presence of PaβN, SJL and SJB activity rose significantly, demonstrating the involvement of active efflux machinery as MDR mechanisms. SJL displayed significant MDR reversal potential, as evidenced by an enhanced efficacy of conventional antibiotics, when in association. The activity of doxycycline and levofloxacin was improved on 100% of studied MDR pathogens. Interestingly, SJL also significantly enhanced the efficacy of the last resort drugs cefixime (cephalosporin) and imipenem (carbapenems) at more than 75% at MIC/2. Exposure of K. pneumoniae KP63 to SJL at 0.5×MIC, MIC, and 2×MIC for 20 h produced a concentration-dependent trend toward greater bacterial killing, extending the latent phase. In addition, SJL showed pronounced inhibition of the H+-ATPase-mediated pump and mildly disrupted the cytoplasmic membrane. Conclusion: This work provides a solid experimental foundation for considering S. jambos leaf extract as a viable treatment option for MDR Klebsiella-related illnesses. Keywords: Antibiotic-resistance modifying agents; efflux pump inhibitor; food plants; Klebsiella infections; multidrug resistance; Syzygium jambos.
Deriving the imaginary unit and Euler’s formula from first principles, and discovering the existence of rotation factor set
Authors: Lu Qiujiang
Published: July 2023

Angle-dependent rotation factors have been introduced to describe position vector rotation in a plane, and a fundamental equation of position vector rotation that governs the rule for the rotation of a point in a plane has been discovered. The imaginary unit turns out to be an orthogonal rotation factor that directly appears in the fundamental equation. This finally reveals the causality origin of the mysterious imaginary unit. Based on the fundamental equation, the existence of the rotation factor set for all rotation angles has been found and the formula for the set has been obtained. The rotation factor set can be used to construct coordinate systems. The result of constructing a Cartesian coordinate system by rotation factors is equivalent to the complex number system with the imaginary unit being the orthogonal rotation factor and Euler’s formula being the consequence of the rotation factor set.

Authors: Kollia Panagiota
Published: July 2023

The assessment of teachers' perceptions can lead to findings on the need for teacher training and information. The purpose of the research is to determine the perceptions of teachers regarding knowledge and perceptions about the early detection of learning difficulties in early childhood and can lead to findings of the necessity of information and training of teachers as this is usually considered necessary in order for teachers to keep up with the renewed social conditions. The survey was conducted in March 2023 with an electronic distribution of a questionnaire to 68 pre-school teachers. The findings that emerged are generally consistent with findings of previous research and highlight the importance of early detection of learning difficulties and link it to language disorders in students. However, they face difficulties as they are not sufficiently-adequately trained and do not have the necessary diagnostic tools and have not adopted appropriate strategies to support students with Specific Learning Difficulties.
