The Situation of the Portuguese Minority Language in Spain
Authors: Kovács Írisz
Published: January 2025

The Portuguese language in Spain, although not officially recognized, is present as a minority language, particularly in regions such as Extremadura, Castile and León and Galicia. Portuguese is not used in administration and official documents are only published in Castilian. However, the language is becoming increasingly popular in education, with over 30 000 students studying Portuguese in Extremadura. In Galicia, progress has also been made in promoting the language, mainly through strengthening ties with Lusophone Countries. Further coordinated efforts are needed at both regional and national levels. The study analyzes the reports submitted by the Government of Spain under the Council of Europe’s European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, as well as the recommendations of the Charter’s Committee of Experts. This paper explores the current challenges of the Portuguese language in Spain, with a particular focus on the experiences of Extremadura, Galicia, and Castile and León.

Published: January 2025

A rare autosomal recessive condition called
cystinosis is characterized by a buildup of cystine
in the lysosomes. The transfer of cystine from the
lysosomes into the cytosol is disrupted by
pathogenic mutations of the cystinosis gene
(CTNS). Cysteine buildup inside lysosomes causes
cellular malfunction later on. An incidence of 0.5–
1/100,000 live birth is associated with cystinosis.
Nephropathic cystinosis is the most common
disease subtype among the three types of
cystinosis: neonatal cystinosis, juvenile cystinosis,
and ocular cystinosis. The most prevalent way that
disease manifests itself is renal impairment. The
extrarenal symptoms of cystinosis include
hypogonadism, hyperglycemia, and
hypothyroidism." Currently, cysteamine, a
substance that depletes cystines, is used to treat
cystinosis. The main goal of this treatment is to
reduce the disease's progression; it is not a cure.
Ninety percent of individuals with cystinosis
develop renal failure during their first 20 years of
life. Patients who have reached this stage of the
disease has no other choice except to have a kidney
transplant. The pathophysiology and clinical signs
of cystinosis are highlighted in this review, along
with possible future therapeutic approaches.
Keywords: CTNS, kidney failure, cystinosis,
cysteine, and cysteamine.
Transfersomes: A Promising Nanoencapsulation Technique for Transdermal Drug Delivery System
Authors: Prashant Bharatia Ms. Vaibhavi
Published: January 2025

In recent years, transdermal drug
delivery systems have gained considerable interest
because they offer several advantages compared to
traditional oral or injectable methods. These
systems are non-invasive, user-friendly, and
designed to improve patient compliance by
enabling controlled drug release. However, one of
their main challenges is the skin's natural barrier,
which significantly restricts the absorption of
molecules larger than 500 Da or those that are
ionized. This limitation means that only a small
number of drugs are suitable for skin-based
delivery.
A promising way to overcome this hurdle is
through the use of transfersomes. These are
flexible, bilayer vesicles capable of carrying
various types of drugs, whether they are lipophilic,
hydrophilic, or amphiphilic. Unlike standard
liposomes, transfersomes are exceptionally elastic,
allowing them to squeeze through small skin pores
without losing their structural integrity.
This review delves into the science of
transfersomes, explaining how they work, how they
are made, and the methods used to study their
properties. It also examines the key factors that
influence their effectiveness and highlights recent
innovations in their application for delivering drugs
through the skin.

Dementia, a spectrum of neurodegenerative
disorders characterized by progressive cognitive
decline, poses an escalating global health burden.
While the role of genetic mutations in its
pathogenesis is well-established, the dynamic and
reversible modifications of the epigenome offer
new insights into the mechanisms underlying
neurodegeneration. Neuroepigenetics, the study of
these modifications in the nervous system, explores
how DNA methylation, histone modifications, and
non-coding RNAs regulate neuronal gene
expression and function. This review delves into
the epigenetic landscape of dementia, examining its
contributions to pathogenesis and highlighting
advances in diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic
strategies. By integrating neuroepigenetics into
precision medicine, this burgeoning field holds
promise for transformative approaches to dementia

Silver nanoparticles were produced
using leaf extract from Ocimum sanctum. The
objective of this study is to create an aqueous
extract of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) derived
from Ocimum sanctum using a green approach.
Thus, the current study uses FTIR to assess the
phytochemical components of the plant extract of
Ocimum sanctum that contains silver nanoparticles.
Ocimum sanctum leaf extracts were ground,
allowed to boil in water, and then the contents were
filtered using Whatman no.1 filter paper to create
the plant extract or filtrate needed to create silver
nanoparticles.After that, this filtrate was added to a
solution of silver nitrate to create silver
nanoparticles.Color change and UV spectrometric
measurements were used to characterize
biosynthesized silver nanoparticles.After that, the
extract of silver nanoparticles was examined using
a variety of phytochemical tests, and Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy was used to
determine which functional groups were
present.The silver nanoparticles extract were found
to contain secondary metabolites like alkaloids,
flavonoids, phenolic compounds, tannins.The
spectra, which ranged from 450 cm-1 to 4000 cm1, revealed the existence of several phytochemical
functional groups. When compared to chemical
approaches, plant extract was shown to be less
hazardous and require less purification when used
to create silver nanoparticles.One of the medical
industry's turning points is the application of silver
nanoparticles in medication delivery systems.

Published: January 2025

This research assessed the potential
ecotoxicological impacts of municipal solid waste
compost (MSWC) as soil fertility improvement
material on soil, plants and humans in urban
Katsina. MSW Compost samples were collected
from different dump sites and mixed with sand and
kaolin into 2:2:1 ratio respectively. Maize and
beans were planted on the mixture for phytotoxicity
assessment as describe by Zucconi et al., 1981.
Both the mixture and plant vegetative biomass
were tested in the laboratory for non-biodegradable
chemicals of Zn, Pb, Mn, Fe, Cd, Cr and pH using
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and pH
meter methods respectively. In phytotoxicity
assessment, Bean show high phytotoxicity while
maize considers MSWC as phytonutrients. Paired ttest reports no statistical difference of nonbiodegradable substances concentrations in soils
and in plants vegetative biomass. Single factor
pollution index values range from clean to slightly
polluted. Ecological risk index (ERI) values
indicate low risk for all the heavy metals.
Estimated daily intake of contaminants in beans
and maize plants are far below the maximum
allowable limits of WHO/FAO while Target hazard
quotients (THQ) values are likely to cause noncarcinogenic effects to the ecosystem. This finding
is promising particularly to the maize farmers. Both
beans and maize farmers should ensure quality
standard and regulations such as source separation
and matured composting to remove harmful nonbiodegradable chemical substances before

Published: January 2025

The privatisation of electricity service delivery in
Nigeria was more than ten years ago. The
privatisation policy was in an attempt to ensure a
stable electricity supply to the end users. The
outcome of the power privation is being appraised
by the paper via evaluation of the customer‟s
satisfaction as one of the measuring factors of its
performance. It is objectively an appraisal of the
perception of the electricity service delivery and
users as outcome of the privatisation of power
supply. Relevant literature was sourced as
secondary data and a conceptual framework that
depicts indices of customer satisfaction was
explored to substantiate the satisfactory level of the
customer, the end user of electricity service
delivery. An inventory of the outcome of electricity
privatisation was also embarked on, sourcing
information about the customers‟ satisfaction with
the service quality of electricity service delivery
privatisation from available relevant publications
and social media.
The paper in its empirical study looked at 397
sample size customers‟ satisfactory response to
electricity service deliveryin Ekiti State as a case
study. Considered their perception from the
inception of the electricity privatisation policy in
the past 10 years, from November 2013 to date in
2024.
The paper, therefore, concluded in its submission,
having garnered from the available information of
the negative response of the customers perceptions.
This is a reflection of the poor performance of

This research looks at the understanding of financial managers in corporate companies in the State of Kedah towards the obligations and calculation of business zakat. Most corporate companies in Kedah pay business zakat but not according to the actual assessment. This is related to the level of understanding of the company's financial manager about business zakat. A qualitative approach is used where respondents are selected from among the company's financial managers using a purposeful sampling technique. A semi-structured interview technique is used. The selected companies are two from Government Link Companies (GLCs), one Public Listed Company (PLC) and one subsidiary to GLCs. From the point of view of understanding, it is divided into six (6) themes, namely the definition of business zakat, period (hawl), nisab, zakat calculation method, adjustment and business status. The findings found that the majority of respondents did not understand the definition of business zakat. Most respondents do not know the nisab and business zakat rate. Meanwhile, only 50% of respondents know about the calculation method of business zakat. Some respondents were confused about the adjustment items. Meanwhile, 100% of respondents agreed that only Muslim shares or shares were taken into account in the calculation of business zakat. Overall, the findings showed that the respondents did not understand the business zakat and its calculation method. Zakat authorities can provide more detailed and specific guidance for corporate companies, including assessment methods suitable for different types of businesses, so that the process of valuation and payment of zakat becomes easier and according to the actual assessment.

Published: January 2025

The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been recognized for a long time and has had a varied history, marked by the development of this fascinating concept over the years. In this conceptual paper, we will focus on factors that shape the understanding and definition of CSR as seen in academic literature and previous scholars' perspectives, and we will highlight how those factors shape the development of the concept of CSR as seen in academic literature. Among these factors are academic contributions, international policies, and significant social and political events. This study employs a comprehensive literature review method to examine the academic contributions that most significantly influence the evolution of CSR processes and concepts. Based on results from the study, it has been proven that corporate responsibility has shifted from a narrow scope to a model in which organizations are able to generate profits, while also being more responsible for enhancing reliability and reputation of their firms. Additionally, social expectations regarding corporate behaviour have evolved, and it is recommended that academic studies related to CSR continue to expand and remain relevant over time.

Authors: Mohamad Ahmad Rafeein , Ali Kalsom , Mohd Noor Khairunneezam
Published: January 2025

This bibliometric analysis investigates research trends in organisational citizenship behaviour and turnover intention within healthcare settings. The study reveals a notable increase in scholarly interest in these topics. The term “turnover intention” is a core keyword, highlighting researchers’ central focus on retention issues. The emergence of diverse keywords in recent publications reflects the evolving nature of research, incorporating various organisational and individual factors and expanding the understanding of the interplay between organisational citizenship behaviour and turnover intention. The analysis identifies the United States and China as dominant contributors to this field, with the highest number of publications and strong cross-national collaborations. However, weaker connections in some other nations suggest potential for future collaboration. The predominance of research in nursing-specific journals indicates a high engagement level among nursing professionals, which may limit the exploration of evidence from other healthcare disciplines. The lack of involvement from various healthcare fields and underrepresented regions points to missed opportunities for comparative studies. Future research should broaden its scope to include diverse healthcare professions, foster wider collaboration, and investigate the combined effects of organisational and individual factors on OCB and TI in healthcare context.

Interest, attitude, and motivation are crucial elements in enhancing students' achievements in their chosen fields. These three elements are often interrelated and serve as the key to success for students as they strive to achieve their goals. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) plays a significant role in Malaysia's development. The government has made substantial efforts to increase student enrolment in TVET, particularly at the school, vocational college, community college, polytechnic, and university levels. However, the number of students enrolling in this field in Malaysia remains low compared to other developed countries. Vocational colleges (KV) are educational institutions offering the Malaysian Vocational Certificate (SVM) for students who have completed their lower secondary education (Form 3) and subsequently offer the Malaysian Vocational Diploma (DVM) to eligible SVM graduates. Despite a significant number of students qualifying to continue their studies at the DVM level, the enrolment rate in DVM programs has been declining each year from 2018 to 2023.This study was conducted to assess the influence of interest and attitude on student motivation in the fields they pursue at KV in the Southern Zone. The study employed a quantitative approach involving 374 final-year SVM students from the electronic technology program. The results indicated that the levels of interest, attitude, and motivation among students were high (M=4.28, SP=0.29), with two sub-elements of interest and attitude influencing students' motivation in their chosen fields. The findings also revealed a significant relationship between interest and attitude with student motivation. Additionally, the study showed that intrinsic motivation was more dominant among students compared to extrinsic motivation. Therefore, vocational college teachers can identify appropriate methods during teaching and learning sessions to help students enhance their interest, attitude, and motivation in their chosen fields.

The global halal industry has grown significantly, driven by contributions from government, industry, academia, community, and environmental stakeholders. This growth underscores the importance of science and technology (S&T) and education in advancing the halal ecosystem. However, limited research has explored halal science within a holistic, faith-based framework or the development of formal halal curricula. Guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), this study investigates publication trends and the body of knowledge in halal science and halal education. Using a bibliometric approach, data from Scopus were analysed through tools like VosViewer software v1.6.13 and Biblioshiny tools (RStudio 2023.12.0) while for Google scholar the search was done through Publish and Perish v8.0 . The study identified 155 Scopus and 96 Google Scholar entries, focusing on trends, thematic mappings, and keyword networks. Findings reveal increasing interest in both domains, with Scopus highlighting halal authentication, profiling, and halal meat research, while Google Scholar focuses on consumer behaviour and perceived knowledge. Both sources lack alignment with a holistic, tawhidic-based approach to halal science and have minimal attention to formal halal education curricula. Research in halal science remains tied to conventional S&T applications, and halal education primarily addresses consumer knowledge rather than structured learning. The study concludes that halal science needs a faith-based paradigm, and halal education requires formal integration into curricula to sustain the halal ecosystem. Future efforts should develop comprehensive halal curricula across educational levels and integrate tawhidic principles into halal science. These initiatives will bridge gaps, fostering innovation and sustainable growth in the halal industry.

Haji Agus Salim (1884–1954) was a prominent figure in the Indonesian independence movement. After independence, he became a famous diplomat and served as Indonesia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs. Numerous historians concentrated on his career as a politician. Nevertheless, Haji Agus Salim was also intrigued by educational concepts. Throughout his life, he demonstrated his interest in education in several ways: During the Dutch colonial period he decided to teach his children at home. Later, he was an effective instructor for the Jong Islamieten Bond, and he was also a successful visiting lecturer at Cornell University. In addition to his political expertise, he saw the value of transmitting some educational elements. The underlying structuralist approach of this research revealed that Haji Agus Salim was more concerned with the aspects of language teaching and Islamic knowledge. According to him, it was indispensable that the students develop a motivational and interested consciousness, and the teacher should instigate the eagerness to learn.

Published: January 2025

This study compared the effects of practising product writing approach and process writing approach on ESL students’ writing ability. This was done in order to investigate on which writing approach was more suitable to be applied in ESL writing classroom as it played a crucial role in assisting the students to improve their writing abilities. In this study, 40 secondary school students were selected as participants and descriptive analysis was used to analyse the data. Participants of product writing approach (n=20) received traditional writing instruction while participants of process writing approach (n=20) were exposed to stages in writing. In this study, the effects of practising product and process writing approach were investigated by comparing the mean scores on the overall writing ability based on text content, communicative achievement, organisation, and language use. The findings indicate that there were no significant differences between the mean scores of students’ overall writing ability of process and product writing approach. Thus, instead of only focusing on either process or product writing approach solely while teaching ESL writing in Malaysian classroom, the findings from this study suggest teachers to combine both process and product writing approach in guiding the students to become independent writers.

Gamification in education has gained significant popularity, leading to extensive research across various disciplines. Among these approaches, educational tabletop games have emerged as highly interactive and effective tools for teaching and learning. Tabletop games, which are played on a flat surface following specific rules without digital support, offer unique educational benefits. This study aims to review existing literature on the impact of educational tabletop games in diverse educational settings. Employing a systematic review and qualitative content analysis, the authors examined 20 research articles published between 2020 and 2024 from three databases: Science Direct, Scopus, and Sage Journals. The reviewed literature highlights the positive effects of educational tabletop games on students' cognitive skills, engagement and motivation, learning and retention, and skills development. These games significantly enhance numerical abilities, critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration among students. The interactive nature of tabletop games promotes active participation and long-term retention of course material, making them a valuable tool in various educational contexts. Overall, educational tabletop games demonstrate versatility and effectiveness across different disciplines. As gamification continues to rise in education, further research is needed to explore educational game design and identify key features that can help educators create valuable and impactful learning experiences.

Authors: Ibrahim Syahrul Naim , Mohd Shariff Shaliza
Published: January 2025

Mobile learning is an innovative approach that has transformed education. However, its application in fashion design, particularly garment pattern making, is still under-explored. This study investigated current issues and activities in mobile learning related to garment pattern making in the Fashion and Apparel Certificate Program at Selayang Community College. The objectives were to identify the demographic characteristics of students, examine the types of devices used, explore existing challenges in learning materials, and evaluate students' mobile learning activities. This research employed a quantitative methodology, using a structured questionnaire divided into four sections: demographics, mobile learning devices, current issues, and activities. A total of 64 respondents participated in the survey. The results revealed a significant gender imbalance among students, with 90.6% female. Smartphones and laptops were the primary devices for learning, with Android being the most commonly used operating system. Nonetheless, the findings indicated that current learning materials were incomplete, poorly understood, and lacked engaging visual content. Students relied heavily on YouTube and social media for supplementary learning, highlighting a gap in structured mobile learning resources. The study concluded a critical need for enhanced interactive e-modules tailored to pattern making. These resources should integrate multimedia elements and be optimized for various devices to enhance student engagement and skill development. Note that addressing this gap will significantly contribute to improved learning outcomes in fashion design education, particularly in the area of garment pattern making.

This paper proposes a method to improve the performance of tri-modal biometric verification using a heterogeneous computing system exploiting the synergy between CPU and GPU. The main objective is to reduce the time required for verification while maintaining the system's accuracy. The design of this system is based on a decision fusion algorithm based on the logical OR connector, enabling the results of the three modalities to be combined. The implementation is being carried out in C# with Visual Studio 2019, using the Task Parallel Library to parallelize tasks on the CPU, and OpenCL.NET to manage processing on the GPU. The tests carried out on a representative sample of 1,000 individuals, show a clear improvement in performance compared with a sequential system. Execution times were significantly reduced, ranging from 0.03 ms to 0.67 ms for data sizes between 50 and 1000. Analysis of the performance gains, based on Amdahl's law, reveals that the proportion of tasks that can be parallelized remains higher in heterogeneous systems than in parallel and sequential systems, even though part of processing remains sequential for large data sizes. This study highlights the ability of heterogeneous computing systems to effectively reduce the verification time of biometric systems while maintaining an optimal balance between processing speed and overall efficiency. The results demonstrate the potential of this approach for advanced biometric applications, particularly in distributed environments.
