Authors: Taju Semmy Wellem , Mamahit Yonatan Putra , Pongantung Jeremy Andrew
Published: August 2024

Attendance is one of the important factors in supporting lecture activities that can be used to see how well the performance of student attendance in class. Traditional attendance systems used in various educational institutions often cause problems. This research aims to develop an innovative and efficient student attendance system to help the process of taking attendance by utilizing QR-Code and geo-location technologies at Klabat University. The research method employed for this development is the Prototyping Model, which involves iterative development and refinement processes. The system is designed as a web-based application and a mobile application, developed using PHP as the programming language, MySQL as the database management system, Bootstrap 5 as the CSS and JavaScript framework for creating responsive websites, Apache as the web server and Ubuntu 22.04 as the operating system for the server. QR-Code technology is proposed as a medium for recording and verifying student attendance, while Geo-Location technology is used to verify the presence of students in the right lecture venue. The results of this research are expected to make a positive contribution to Klabat University in terms of recording student attendance.
Be clever or be cold: repurposed ovens for space heating following global catastrophic infrastructure loss
Authors: Jose Linto , Raxworthy Milan , Williams Baxter , Denkenberger David
Published: August 2024

Global catastrophic infrastructure loss (GCIL) would disrupt energy supply networks, prohibiting heating in houses reliant on electricity or piped natural gas. Cold climates would require alternative heating methods, as space heating is critical to survival. This work assesses the viability of converting household appliances to wood-burning stoves, and the scalability of such conversions. A standard Simpson-brand electrical oven was converted to a wood-burning stove, using tools and materials likely to be readily available following a GCIL event, and tested by burning pine wood in the fire laboratory at the University of Canterbury. The conversion was successful, with average useful heat output of 2.6 kW, showing the viability of ovens as wood-burning stoves for space heating. It is expected such conversions could be completed in less than one day, given sufficient availability of tools, materials, and labour. Global supplies of ovens, tools, materials, and fuel are expected to be sufficient for widespread conversion of ovens to wood-burning stoves, assuming international collaboration. However, international collaboration may be limited following GCIL, so countries should develop individual response plans accounting for this limitation, and knowledge should be disseminated ahead of time or backup communication systems put in place.
Trial-by-trial modulations of the spatial congruency effect of gaze and arrows: A distribution analysis
Authors: Tanaka Yoshihiko , Oyama Takato , Ishikawa Kenta , Okubo Matia
Published: August 2024

In a spatial Stroop task, responses to gaze stimuli are faster when the direction and location are incongruent (reversed congruency effect), whereas responses to arrow stimuli are faster when congruent (standard congruency effect). To explain the reversal of gaze, Tanaka et al. (2023a) proposed a dual-stage hypothesis comprising target-background segregation and selective inhibition. This hypothesis predicts that the enhancement of selective inhibition reduces and increases the standard and reversed congruency effects, respectively. As selective inhibition varies on a trial-by-trial basis, we tested the dual-stage hypothesis by examining congruency sequence effects (CSE) in the spatial Stroop task. We analysed the data collected from 390 participants previously tested in our laboratory. The results showed a decrease in the standard congruency effect (standard CSE) and an increase in the reversed congruency effect (reversed CSE) after incongruent trials (N-1 incongruent) relative to congruent trials (N-1 congruent). Reaction time distribution analysis revealed that these CSEs emerged from faster responses, suggesting that conflict monitoring in preceding trials enhanced inhibition efficiency in the current trials. These results highlighted the role of selective inhibition in the dual-stage hypothesis. Selective inhibition dynamically changes its size and onset depending on the preceding trial type and contributes to these sequential effects.
Children’s individual interests are sustained across development and predict later vocabulary development
Authors: Madhavan Rajalakshmi , Mani Nivedita
Published: August 2024

The current study examines how children’s interests in particular natural object categories emerge and sustain over time, and how these interests influence later vocabulary development. Children’s knowledge and interest in various object categories were indexed by parent estimates of children’s category-specific vocabulary size and interests, and children’s pupillary dilation responses. Data from sixty-seven children tested at eighteen and twenty-four months of age suggested that (i) parent estimates of children’s categorical interests at 18-months was sustained at 24-months; (ii & iii) children’s pupillary arousal to objects from these categories at 18-months was not associated with either their pupillary arousal or parent estimates of children’s interest in those categories at 24-months; and (iv) children’s category-specific vocabulary knowledge at 24-months was significantly associated with parent estimates of children’s interests at 18-months. Taken together, this study documents the longitudinal relationship between children’s interests, parents’ awareness of their children’s interests and later vocabulary development.
Long-lag morphological priming and inflectional paradigm size effects in Estonian and Finnish text reading
Authors: Lõo Kaidi , Bertram Raymond , Kuperman Victor
Published: August 2024

Morphological priming and paradigm size effects have been established in single word reading studies. Morphological priming effects have also been found in some sentence-reading studies, however, attempts to find priming effects in longer texts have failed. To our knowledge, paradigmatic effects have not yet been examined in text reading. The current study made use of the MECO corpus \citep{Siegelman:etal:2022} to explore paradigmatic and morphological priming effects in Estonian and Finnish, two morphologically rich Finno-Ugric languages. Unlike prior reports on Dutch, English and Spanish text reading, the current study showed clear long-lag inflectional priming effects. We also observed inflectional paradigm size effects for Estonian during text reading, but not for Finnish. These results suggest that inflectional variants of a particular word in Estonian and Finnish get and remain activated even when text context is present. However, effects of inflectional priming and paradigm size may be task- and language-specific. That is, they may surface only as cues when the support from an inflectional paradigm is semantically most beneficial for the reader.
Working paper: E/valuation of Sustainability in Basic Research—Insights from an interdisciplinary research initiative
Authors: Fehrs Kristiane , Wagenknecht Susann , Rades Jascha , May Nadine , Parvez Ashak Mahmud , van den Boogaart K. Gerald , Engesser Sven , Fery Andreas
Published: August 2024

In recent decades, sustainability has emerged as a central theme in addressing future uncertainties, intertwined with discourses on ecology, conservation, resilience and socio-ecological justice. While much scholarly attention has focused on sustainability in industrial production, design, global development and lifestyles, the relationship between sustainability and basic research remains underexplored. This paper addresses this gap by examining how sustainability concerns are integrated into scientific practice, specifically within basic research in science and engineering. Through a collaborative ethnographic research process within an interdisciplinary initiative at the University of Technology Dresden, we explore how sustainability and basic research can inform one another. Our analysis draws on qualitative methods, including interviews and group discussions and is grounded in perspectives from sociology, anthropology and Science and Technology Studies (STS), particularly valuation studies. We investigate the various meanings of sustainability as invoked in the appraisal and evaluation of basic research, pursuing the question: What is valued when basic research is deemed ‘sustainable’? Our findings are organized around four central themes: sustainability as efficiency, sustainability through flexibility, sustainability assessment as estimation and sustainability assessment as finding leverage. These themes reveal the complexities and challenges of appraising basic research in terms of sustainability.
All Costs and No Benefits: Economic Expertise and Media Coverage of US Climate Change Policy Debates, 1997-2001
Authors: Hirschman Daniel , Maisel Willow , Rosen Theodora
Published: August 2024

Prior research demonstrates how the American climate countermovement prevented significant climate policy by framing mitigation as expensive and unnecessary. We expand on this research by examining the economic arguments deployed by both opponents and proponents of climate mitigation in the debates over the Kyoto Protocol from 1997-2001. Through an analysis of 790 articles in three national newspapers alongside key documents, we find that the dominant economic framing contrasted competing claims about the cost of mitigation (whether it would have a large or small impact on the American economy). In contrast, virtually no actors - including proponents - argued that Kyoto would provide substantial benefits to the US in terms of reduced climate impacts, in part because prominent economic models ignored those impacts or assumed them to be small. This analysis suggests that mainstream economic expertise may have contributed to the failure of the United States to implement substantial climate policy.
Introduction to Inframarginalism
Authors: Woodcock Ramsi
Published: August 2024

Progressives who respond to conservative law and economic arguments by rejecting neoclassical economic theory are making a mistake because neoclassical economics is the only ideology that honors the modern view—associated with the Death of God narrative in Western culture—that there are no longer universal standards of value. To make a case for redistribution of wealth that appeals to the modern view regarding value—one that progressives themselves hold—progressives must engage with economics. Fortunately, the concept of the gains from trade in neoclassical economics (also known as “surplus” or “economic rent”) allows progressives to make a strong case for redistribution of wealth because the gains from trade do not need to be appropriated by any particular market participant in order for efficiency to prevail in markets. This approach is called “inframarginalism” to contrast it with the conservative view that the valuations of the marginal buyer and seller pin down price in competitive markets and therefore leave progressives no room for redistribution.
Tectonic Stress Analysis of Shivnath-Salena Area, Using Stress Response Structure
Authors: Phuyal Kabiraj Phuyal , Sapkota Madhusudan , Acharya Kamala Kant , Dhital Megh Raj
Published: August 2024

The geological mapping of the Shivnath-Salena area and structure analysis of the same area were conducted in the LesserHimalayan sequence, Far West Nepal, unveiling the characteristics of kinematics and the associated stress field in the region. Thearea comprises of the Salena Formation and Chachura Formation. The Salena Formation is sandwiched between the PachkoraThrust and Dudulakhan Thrust, and the Chachura Formation occurs between the North Dadeldhura Thrust and Pachkora Thrust.The Salena Formation is composed of light grey and white quartzite and black slates that are intensely deformed, with folds. The Malena Anticline and the Lamalek Syncline are the intraformational folds observed in the study area. Superimposed folding was also observed. The Chachura Formation comprises Paleocene to Late Eocene green sandstone, grey and purple shale, and approximately 1 m thick grey fossiliferous limestone. This study interprets stress-response structures to show the tectonic stress field in the Salena Formation. Twenty-seven fault slip data (slickenside) were collected in the field and used to determine the stress regime by applying the stress inversion technique. The direction of the maximum principal stress axes is interpreted as NE-SW. The average value of the stress index R' is about 0.30, indicating an extensional tectonic stress regime in the study area. As σ1 is vertical, R = R' in the study area suggests normal faulting in an extensional regime.

Authors: Gnawali Yagya Prasad
Published: August 2024

This study aims to explore the causes of poor performance in mathematics at secondary level in Nepal specially in community school. I used phenomenological qualitative research paradigm for this study. I took five sample participants who had taken poor result in mathematics in SEE. Similarly, I have taken corresponding interview of their mathematics teachers in their respective schools as well as their parents. I used unstructured interview guidelines to take their in-depth interview. Weak foundation in basic level, ineffective teaching methods, lack of confidence, lack of motivation, and insufficient practices are main causes of poor performance in mathematics at secondary level. This study reveals that a comprehensive strategy involving parents, teachers, and students themselves is needed to address low performance in SEE. Early detection and intervention can help enhance academic performance as well as the general success of students.

The sample consisted of 40 bachelor’s secondary major chemistry students in Mahendra Ratna Campus, Tahachal Kathmandu. I used in this study for identifying the misconception about chemistry were through the questionnaire. A set of 30 conceptual questions were given to the Bachelor’s second-year students. where the student had to give reasons to identify their source of knowledge, with their answers. Each item of the misconception test consisted of multiple-choice question. My research finding most of the students in chemistry has misconception which has affected the learning of students. This suggests the conclusion that there is some common misconception in chemistry among bachelor’s level students. The maximum number of students developed the falsified concept in organic chemistry portion which is followed by inorganic and physical chemistry. Most of the students’ source of misconception in science was found to be from their own intrinsic knowledge.
Animals and nature in Philip Larkin’s “Going, Going,” and “Take One Home for the Kiddies”
Authors: Neupane Rabindra
Published: August 2024

This article has focused on investigating the ecological awareness of Philip Larkin’s poems “Going, Going,” and “Take One Home for the Kiddies”. The poet problematizes animals and the natural world, yet the concerns of (non)humans have largely been one-dimensional and universal. This article examines Larkin’s poetry with a focus on his foresight of an impending catastrophe that environmentalists and ecocritics subsequently came to refer to as “the ecological crisis.” It examines two of Larkin’s poems, “Going, Going” and “Take One Home for the Kiddies” primarily concerning animal abuse and the environment. The link between Man and Nature is ultimately undermined by Larkin’s ideas regarding human manipulation of nature. By concentrating on these two poems by Larkin, the broader use of rhetorical elements demonstrates the poet’s sensitivity and outlines a precarious alliance between the human and non-human world.

Garam (NaCl), yang juga dikenal sebagai halit, memiliki peran penting sebagai bahan pokok dalam kehidupan manusia dan industri. Kabupaten Kebumen di Jawa Tengah, khususnya di sepanjang pantai selatan di Kecamatan Mirit, merupakan salah satu daerah terbesar di Indonesia yang menghasilkan garam, berasal dari tambak garam berbentuk kubah-kubah memanjang menjadi sumber utama produksi garam di wilayah tersebut. Standar baku mutu garam diatur oleh SNI 3556:2016, memberikan batasan cemaran logam seperti kadmium (Cd) <0,5 mg/kg, timbal (Pb) <10 mg/kg, raksa (Hg) <0,1 mg/kg, dan arsen (As) <0,1 mg/kg. Kondisi air laut dan air tanah yang digunakan dalam proses produksi garam memiliki dampak signifikan terhadap kualitas garam yang dihasilkan yang dapat diketahui dari studi hidrogeologi. Hasil pengukuran sumur warga sejumlah 43 titik menunjukkan kedalaman muka airtanah berkisar antara 2,65 m s.d. 17,35 m. Hasil analisis garam dari 2 tambak garam yang berbeda menunjukkan kadar Cd berkisar antara 0,1077—0,1113 mg/kg, Pb antara 0,929—1,0267 mg/kg, Hg antara 0,00603—0,01358 mg/kg, dan kadar As negatif; dengan kadar air berkisar antara 1,44—3,57% b/b serta kandungan NaCl antara 99,41—99,93%. Hasil analisis air sumur dan air laut dari 3 sampel menunjukkan kadar Cd <0,0009 mg/kg, Pb <0,0011—0,0098 mg/kg, Hg <0,0001 mg/kg, dan As <0,001 mg/kg. Hasil pemetaan muka airtanah menunjukkan bahwa kondisi hidrogeologi memengaruhi standar baku mutu garam di pesisir selatan Kebumen, terutama oleh faktor besar ukuran butir yang membawa airtanah beserta unsur-unsur terlarut di dalamnya. Sementara itu, garam yang diproduksi dari 2 tambak garam di Kecamatan Mirit memenuhi standar baku mutu berdasarkan SNI 3556:2016.
Corinthian Countrysides: Linked Open Data and Analysis from the Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey
Authors: Pettegrew David K.
Published: August 2024

Corinthian Countrysides presents the datasets, analysis, and results of a large-scale intensive survey in the eastern territory of Corinth between 1997 and 2003. Carried out under a permit of the Greek Ministry of Culture granted through the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, the Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey investigated the Isthmus west of the Corinth Canal, a highly-connected transport corridor and densely settled area from prehistory to the present day, and sampled parts of the mountainous and coastal districts of the southeast Corinthia. Researchers recorded a rich body of evidence for habitation and land use covering all periods of human history and documented a materially abundant and varied landscape with few parallels in Greece or the Aegean basin. In Corinthian Countrysides, David K. Pettegrew offers the first comprehensive introduction to the project’s history, methods, analyses, and results in connection with primary online datasets published at Open Context. He provides a critical overview of the project’s major discoveries about the history of the Corinthian countryside and a case study of the new kind of data-centered distributional survey that has proliferated in the eastern Mediterranean in recent decades. Pettegrew shows how artifact-level survey and data-centered analyses open up new ways of rethinking Greek landscapes in terms of their most basic fundamental elements—the atomic traces of objects and features in distribution. In his outline of methods, categories, datasets, and source criticism, Pettegrew prepares readers to experiment, tinker, and play with open data as a process of making meaning about the Greek countryside. Corinthian Countrysides comprises an important critical edition of a new archaeological resource for understanding the history of Corinth’s territory.
On the Limits of Islamic Cinema: The Politics of Halal Cinema Discourse in Kerala, India
Authors: Kunnummal Ashraf
Published: August 2024

Some of the most crucial debates surrounding Islamic legitimacy and cinema rotate around the question of the permissible ( ḥalāl) and prohibited ( ḥarām) in Islamic law and how these function for Muslim theology and politics. Emerging from these debates, halal cinema has been one of the recent critical interventions in the field of Indian and Islamic cinema. Rather than making cinema Islamic from an ideological position, the new halal experiments with the visual language of cinema without compromising the popular dimensions of its viewership. This article looks at the politics of halal cinema within the context of the state of Kerala in South India and argues that the space of halal cinema shows the aspirations and negotiations of the Muslim community in Kerala. Halal cinema thus becomes an immanent critique of Islamic cinema by destabilizing the dominant practice that connects the relationship between Islam and cinema.

Over the past decade, social media has been attracting a growing number of people to the online space. Due to the increase in internet usage, a huge number of text data has been produced. Such data can reflectusers’ mental healthstatus, but it is still challenging to predictsuicide risk from data,due to the high complexity of texts.This research aims to predict the suicide risk from Reddit posts using artificial intelligence (AI). The data were collected from the Kaggle dataset, which includedpostingsof suicide subreddits.The datawere pre-processed throughnatural language processing techniques. Logistic regression, naive Bayes, and random forest models were then used for classifying the Reddit users, i.e., to predict if they are in a suicidal or non-suicidal mental state. These models were compared to identify an AI approach that provides the best performance among the three models. Then, the logistic regression model with doc2vec showed the highest precision of 0.92, recall 0.92, and F1score of 0.92.

Authors: Andrian Setya Putra  , Pipin Widyaningsih  , Sri Sumarlinda
Published: August 2024

In this digital age, technology can make everyday life easier, including finding and providing food for livestock and pets. Hilda Pakan Supplier is a business that provides various types of nutrition, such as feed, vitamins, and veterinary medicine. At the time of observation, some customers were often confused in determining the right feed, vitamins, or medicine for their animals due to the lack of information they had. Customers usually have to ask the shopkeeper, which can take a long time especially when the shop is crowded. To overcome these problems, the purpose of this project is to use the content-based filtering method to create a recommendation system for animal nutrition choices. This method was chosen because the recommendation process is simpler and does not require rating data from other users. The system can provide recommendations in accordance with the needs and preferences of animals. In its application, the cosine similarity algorithm is used to measure product similarity based on text descriptions. The results show that this recommendation system is able to produce 10 products with the highest similarity value, which is 0.331060048. In the future, this system can be further developed by adding more products to provide more accurate insurance results.
AERATION MODE OF A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING DEPENDING ON ITS CHARACTERISTICS
Authors: Kucherenko Lіlіya , Yakimenko Eugene
Published: August 2024

The article examines the problems associated with the aeration of urban areas. The relationship between the aeration regime and the objects of the urban environment is revealed. The impact of building features and landscaping on the aeration regime of the territory was studied. Taking into account the aeration regime in residential buildings is necessary to regulate the temperature-humidity regime, gassiness and dustiness of the air, substantiation of the density of the housing stock, the efficiency of the use of the city territory, etc. However, there is no theoretical knowledge that reveals the influence of volumetric and spatial decisions of development and reconstruction of residential buildings on the aeration regime of the territory. The rapid growth of the urban population presents architects, designers and builders with a number of tasks to increase the built-up area. Increasing the efficiency of the use of the urban environment provokes the development of high-rise buildings and complexes and an increase in the density of buildings. In this regard, when evaluating design solutions for territory planning projects and construction projects for the development of microdistricts and quarters, among the issues related to insolation, it is necessary to take into account the distribution, speed, direction of wind flows and the area of ​​development, which, in turn, directly related to pedestrian bioclimatic comfort and the problem of formation of zones with reduced wind speeds, containing in the air an increased concentration of harmful substances in the form of gases and chemically active dust. To determine the relationship of the aeration regime with objects of the urban environment, physical and technical factors that shape the climate at all levels, it is necessary to investigate the scheme of their interaction as the basis of the quality of human living space. The limits of the aeration regime during the development of urban housing determine the microclimate of urbanized urban areas with existing residential buildings.

The purpose of the article is to study the problems of maintaining the housing stock in the conditions of structural changes in the energy supply of the housing stock and new construction in Ukraine. The analysis of the loss of power generation capacities of Ukraine due to the war unleashed by Russia is presented, which indicates the loss of 50% of power generation capacities and the destruction of thermal power plants, thermal power plants, and transformer substations.
It is shown that the main challenges affecting the energy supply of the residential complex were Ukraine's forced refusal from 2024 to import natural gas and the declared transition from 2024 to electric heating of new construction objects.
It has been shown that the indicators of the regulatory requirements for the thermal resistance of the building envelope, in accordance with the requirements put into effect in 2022 DBN B.2.6-31:2021 "Thermal insulation and energy efficiency of buildings" only came close to the indicators of European countries, which were adopted almost 15 years ago, which is not acceptable, since residential buildings account for 33% or 17.04 million toe. total final energy consumption.
During the next 5-10 years, it is planned to invest Sh15 billion in the construction of new renewable energy power plants in Ukraine. A new player will appear on the country's electricity market - an operator of an energy storage facility ("UZE Operator"). Its activities will be related to the operation of installations, energy storage and the selection of such UZE electricity for the purpose of using it for its own needs and storing and further releasing electricity into the network.

The heat transfer of a single pipe with transverse round fins during forced convection is considered. A mathematical model is proposed for determining the specific heat flow from a liquid to a gas flow during heat transfer through a cylindrical surface ribbed with round ribs, taking into account the temperature distribution along the height of the plate. The influence of the geometric dimensions of circular fins on heat transfer and specific heat flow through a cylindrical externally finned surface was revealed. According to the results of the simulation of the heat transfer process in the MathCAD environment, it is shown that in case of an increase in the height of the fin, the total heat transfer heat flow increases, but the heat transfer coefficient from the air side decreases in this case, the minimum specific heat flow is observed at a fin diameter of 31...32 mm. The maximum specific heat flow through the finned surface occurs for the fin thickness δ = 2 mm, while the decrease in fin thickness leads to a decrease in the mass of the heat transfer surface and a decrease in the efficiency coefficient of the fin. A significant factor that affects the efficiency of circular transverse pipe fins is the pitch between the fins. An increase in the pitch of the fins on the pipe leads to an increase in the heat transfer coefficient from the side of the fins and a decrease in the specific heat flow. The value of the intensity of heat exchange from the surface of the finned pipe and the specific heat flow through the pipe changes by 1.5...2 times per step between the ribs of 0.005...0.02 m. It was established that the smallest step of finning would be optimal for the heat exchanger, but it is worth considering the technical the economic expediency of modern industrial technologies of finning pipes with aluminum and a significant increase in hydraulic resistance in the event of a decrease in the pitch of the fins on the pipe, which leads to the need to use injection machines of greater prominence and power. The obtained results can be used to optimize the geometric dimensions of tubular gas-water heat exchangers with transverse round fins.

The aim of the work is to study the current state of energy supply for residential maintenance under conditions of excessiveenergy resource consumption. It is shown that approximately 80% of the existing housing stock was built with low thermalresistance indicators of enclosing structures. The dynamics of the absolute volumes of domestic natural gas production and itsimport are presented.Due to Ukraine's refusal to import natural gas, a large-scale transition to electric heating of new residential buildings is anticipated. An analysis of the current state of the energy sector and plans for the construction of new electricity generationcapacities is provided. Electric heating of new housing is complicated by the destruction of energy facilities and transformersubstations. Due to the destruction of the country's energy infrastructure, the government has made the unpopular decision toraise electricity tariffs. It is shown that thermal insulation of the housing stock will significantly reduce the consumption of energy resources and aligns with global trends in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to Ukraine's fulfillment of its international commitments to decarbonize the environment according to the decisions of the Paris Conference of 2015. An analysis of the operational properties of traditional thermal insulation materials, such as polystyrene foam and mineral wool, is provided. It is shown that polystyrene foam is an affordable and effective insulator, with its main drawback being flammability, while mineral wool is energy-intensive to produce but is non-flammable. The prospects for using non-combustible low-density aerated concrete, which is common in EU countries, are shown. The global experience of using aerogel as an innovative thermal insulation material is summarized, demonstrating its use as a high-performance insulation material.

Cancer remains one of the most significant global health challenges, with increasing incidence and mortality rates and a substantial socioeconomic burden. Traditional cancer treatments such as chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation therapies, while effective, have significant adverse effects on the body, prompting the search for less invasive treatment options. In recent years, probiotics have emerged as a promising alternative in the prevention and treatment of cancer and its associated complications, especially in gastrointestinal malignancies. Probiotics have been found to have several beneficial effects on the body, including the ability to mitigate the gastrointestinal side effects of cancer treatments by restoring gut microbiota balance and improving intestinal barrier function. By reducing inflammation and enhancing the immune response, probiotics can also help alleviate other cancer-related symptoms and improve the overall well-being of cancer patients. Despite their potential benefits, the efficacy and safety of probiotics in immunocompromised patients remain uncertain, and caution must be exercised during their administration. Further research is needed to determine the optimal clinical use, safety, and efficacy of probiotics in cancer treatment.

Pain management in the ICU (intensive care unit) is a very complex problem which involves a wide variety of conditions, lack of sufficient tools for use, and high personnel to patient ratio. In the last three decades, pain as a clinical issue has become well analyzed, and treatment protocols based on scientific evidence have been established. Besides medication, some non-pharmacological methods such as music therapy, relaxation, and massage have been proven to be very much practical and manageable in pain management of ICU. The main opioids are utilized predominantly due to their power but NSAIDs and local anesthesia are combined with opioids with the aim to reduce the pain as much as possible. Yet more research now has to prove that pain evaluation and management is effective. This article discusses on the issues and the best approaches to solving them when managing pain in ICU patients.
