Authors: Bustos Peñafiel Mónica
Published: January 2025

The morphotypological analysis methodology developed in the Public Housing Workshop of the seventh semester of the Architecture career of the University of Chile is presented. The aim is for students to highlight the importance of public housing design, not only in architectural terms, but also in terms of interscale, understanding project decisions at the neighbourhood scale as their contribution to the formation of the city and the quality of life of its inhabitants. The exercise breaks down various Chilean residential projects at different times in their history, from three dimensions: the project intention of the complex residencial, the architectural typologies and the resulting urban form. The results show how, conditioned by the different political, social and economic contexts, as well as by the different forms of use and possibilities of consolidation, the configuration of our cities is, on the one hand, the expression of the various sociotypological models and, on the other, the manifestation of social processes over time.

Published: January 2025

Right to be forgotten also known as data de-listing or de-identification is legal and ethical right providing individuals the right to request the search engine to remove the link to the information that is found when the person's name is searched online. Though its concept has been practiced in the developed countries like the members of European Union, its implementation in the developing country like Pakistan is still in bloom. This paper explores the plausibility, likelihood and consequences of imposing the RTBF within the Pakistani context with spec emphasis to its compatibility with privacy, freedom of speech and cyber security. Lack of proper Data protection laws in Pakistan put the individuals at risk of cyber harassment, and misuse of personal data; tarnishing one's reputation. The Constitution of Pakistan acknowledges the right to privacy to the citizens in article 14 and freedom of speech and expression in article 19 but these rights are not well realized while operating in digital platform. The RTBF could allow people to take back control of their online persona but freedom comes with crucial issues of censorship, transparency and the ability of the regulatory bodies. The study employs doctrinal research strategy that involves empirical and comparative methodology to explore the legal, social, and pragmatic implications of RTBF in social media regulations of Pakistan. The study further reveals that there are legal loopholes that need to be addressed in order to enhance the privacy laws relating to Pakistan particularly in the context of digital environment as there is lack of comprehensive legal protection, overlapping of the regulation and legislation and legal culture, freedom of speech and finally institutional framework. Suggestions include passage of a competently drafted Data Protection Act, better staff and structures, better implementing criteria for RTBF requests, creation of awareness among the citizens regarding their digital rights, involving international organizations in an effort to frame a suitable RTBF framework.

Iron Receptor Antigen-Based Mucosal Immunization Prevents Urinary Tract Infection
Authors: Lames H Almanseekanaa
Published: January 2025

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a leading bacterial infection worldwide caused by Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). Despite the apparent ease of treatment, they carry an enormous health and economic burden because of the extent of relapses and resistance to anti-infective agents. This study aimed to develop a UTI vaccine that targets the iron acquisition systems of UPEC. With the help of functional vaccinology, six outer membrane iron receptors (ChuA, Hma, Iha, IreA, IroN, and IutA) were selected as possible vaccine candidates for further studies. Mouse models were immunised intranasally with recombinant antigens Hma, IreA, and IutA, mixing cholera toxin as an adjuvant. The humoral and cellular immune responses raised in vaccinated mice were highly robust. Immunisation conferred protection in specific locales, such as Hma to the kidney and IreA and IutA gave immunity to the bladder. This study is the first to describe specific immune protection against UPEC in a mouse model, as characterised by significant increases in antibody IgA in urine and IgG in serum, as well as the proinflammatory cytokines IL-17 and IFN-γ. This study provides proof of principle for iron acquisition pathways to be targets for vaccine development against UTIs. As iron is an essential nutrient for UPEC, vaccines directed at iron acquisition systems provide an excellent basis for future multivalent subunit vaccines that can alleviate the burden of UPEC infections.
Comparison between the Serological and Molecular Methods for the Detection of Helicobacter pylori
Authors: Zinah Shakir Shallal
Published: January 2025

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a worldwide health issue associated with chronic gastritis, stomach ulcers, and neoplasms. Management requires an accurate diagnosis, and the currently available technologies can be divided into molecular and serological approaches. Every approach has advantages and disadvantages, highlighting the importance of comparing.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency, reliability, and usefulness of serological and molecular methods for detecting H. pylori infection.
Methods: In 2023, a cross-sectional study was performed in Wasit Province, Iraq. Five hundred forty-one volunteers aged 15 to 65 years showing dyspeptic symptoms submitted blood samples for analysis. Serological testing utilized ELISA to identify IgG and IgM antibodies, whereas PCR was performed for the molecular detection of H. pylori DNA. Data were analyzed to assess sensitivity, specificity, and demographic correlations. The prevalence of seasonal swings was also evaluated.
Results: The frequency of H. pylori was nearly the same across males (270) and females (271). The most considerable prevalence was observed in the 26–35 age group, with seasonal peaks during the summer, especially in July. PCR had superior sensitivity and specificity relative to serology, although it required advanced resources. Serological tests offered significant epidemiological findings, although they could not differentiate between active and past infectious diseases.
Conclusion: Serological tests are useful for epidemiological investigations, but molecular methods are more accurate. A combined diagnostic strategy improves clinical and public health measures, especially in resource-limited regions. Seasonal and demographic changes require specific measures.

Authors: Nurhaida Ida , Windah Andi , Aryanti Nina Yudha , Sugiono Arif
Published: January 2025

Abstract: In the contemporary landscape characterized by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), the profession of librarianship is experiencing a noteworthy transformation, thereby necessitating a re-evaluation and re-branding of the role in order to maintain its relevance. Librarians are transitioning from their traditional role as custodians of physical books to emerging as essential stakeholders in the domains of digital literacy, privacy, and information ethics. They currently fulfill the roles of information strategists, data analysts, and educators, demonstrating proficiency in navigating intricate digital environments. Notwithstanding these advancements, public perception frequently remains outdated, perceiving librarians primarily as engaged in rudimentary administrative activities. This stereotype inhibits the recognition of their extensive contributions to society. Re-branding initiatives center on emphasizing the evolving roles of librarians, which encompass the management of comprehensive digital resources and the promotion of critical information literacy within the context of the artificial intelligence era. The Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) at the University of Lampung (Unila), in conjunction with the Association of Indonesian Political Science Students (ATPUSI), has commenced the implementation of training programs aimed at facilitating the re-branding efforts of the institution. These initiatives aim to enhance the digital competencies of librarians and transform public perceptions by positioning them as crucial facilitators in the process of knowledge dissemination. The results of the training indicate a significant enhancement in participants' comprehension of personal re-branding, thereby suggesting the efficacy of these initiatives in preparing librarians with the requisite skills for a future increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence.   Keywords: librarian re-branding, artificial intelligence (AI) era, librarian skill improvement.

Authors: Tarigan Abul A'la , Tiara Anita , Pane Mustika Dewi
Published: January 2025

The quality of life for people who suffer from low back pain (LBP) is significantly reduced, making it a major worldwide health concern. Patients with LBP frequently have comorbid diseases like hypertension and hyperlipidemia, which can exacerbate pain and make therapy more difficult. The purpose of this study is to examine the connection between comorbidities and the incidence of LBP in patients who visit the RSUDZA Banda Aceh Neurology Outpatient Clinic. In this study, 237 LBP patients from the Neurology Outpatient Clinic at RSUDZA were selected using a cross-sectional methodology between 12 April  to May 2023. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Modified Self-Administered Comorbidity Questionnaire (MSACQ) were used to gather data. The association between comorbidities and the incidence of LBP was examined using the chi-square test. The most prevalent comorbid conditions among the 237 responders were hypertension and hyperlipidemia, with 161 people (67.9%) having comorbidities. Mild pain was experienced by 87.8% of patients. Comorbid conditions had a substantial impact on the severity of pain in patients with LBP, according to the chi-square test, which revealed a strong correlation between comorbidities and the occurrence of LBP (p-value = 0.000). This study suggests a strong correlation between comorbidities and LBP incidence. In relation to LBP, hypertension and hyperlipidemia are the most prevalent comorbidities. To enhance treatment results and patients' quality of life, a comprehensive strategy to managing LBP is required, taking into account both the pain and any concomitant conditions.

Authors: Pourarian Hossein , Naderinasab Mahdi , Biniaz Seyed Abbas
Published: January 2025

Objective: The objective of this article is to examine and compare the extent and nature of ethnic discrimination in employment rights as governed by the legal frameworks of Iraq and Iran.

Methodology: This study employs a descriptive-analytical approach, drawing on a detailed examination of constitutional provisions, labor laws, and related legal documents from Iraq and Iran. The analysis is supplemented by a review of secondary sources, including reports from human rights organizations and international conventions to which both countries are signatories.

Findings: The analysis reveals that both Iraq and Iran have legal frameworks that explicitly prohibit ethnic discrimination in employment. However, in practice, the implementation of these laws varies significantly due to cultural, social, and political factors. In Iraq, although the law mandates equal treatment of all citizens, certain provisions and practices suggest a degree of ethnic favoritism in public sector employment, particularly concerning the representation of minority groups. In Iran, despite comprehensive legal prohibitions against discrimination, certain policies and practices—such as the requirement for an Iranian identity card and regional employment quotas—perpetuate ethnic and religious discrimination, particularly against non-Muslim and non-Iranian minorities.

Conclusion: Both Iraq and Iran have made legal commitments to prevent ethnic discrimination in employment, yet the practical enforcement of these laws is inconsistent and influenced by broader socio-political contexts. While Iraq's legal framework generally supports ethnic equality, its implementation is challenged by economic conditions and political dynamics. In Iran, despite strong legal provisions, ethnic discrimination persists due to systemic practices that favor certain ethnic and religious groups. The study concludes that while both countries strive for balance in their labor laws, significant efforts are still needed to fully eradicate ethnic discrimination in practice.

The statistical population consisted of all bank employees in the western Tehran branches in 2023. The sampling method was convenience sampling. The sample size was 430 individuals, who were evaluated using questionnaires on organizational performance (Andre de Waal et al., 2017), career path resilience (Morgen Lyon, 2001), psychological capital (Luthans, 2007), and professional ethics (Kadous, 2002). The findings were analyzed using structural equation modeling.

Findings: Based on the analysis of the research findings, all fit indices derived from the analysis supported the acceptable fit of the structural model with the collected data. The chi-square to degrees of freedom ratio was 2.21, the Comparative Fit Index (CFI) was 0.959, the Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) was 0.938, the Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index (AGFI) was 0.913, and the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) was 0.057. Additionally, the results showed that career path resilience, psychological capital, and professional ethics together explained 62% of the variance in organizational performance among bank employees.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that professional ethics among bank employees mediates the relationship between psychological capital and career path resilience with organizational performance.

This study introduces a sustainable approach to synthesize zero-dimensional TiO2 nanostructures using Allium sativum (garlic) clove extract as a biogenic capping and reducing agent. The synthesized particles were dried at 80 ºC for 24 hours and calcined at 450 ºC for 2 hours. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), UV-vis spectroscopy, and photocatalytic activity analysis were used to characterize the synthesized nanoparticles. The XRD pattern revealed the prevalence of the tetragonal anatase phase in the synthesized nanostructures, with an average crystallite size of 6.45 nm. The Williamson-Hall plot method was employed to evaluate the type of strain induced in the synthesized particles, and the crystallinity of TiO2 nanostructures was estimated to be 74.91%. The Rietveld analysis calculated the lattice parameters, cell volume, and other relevant parameters. FESEM image showed spherical nanostructures with an average size of 45.08 nm. UV-vis spectroscopy indicated an optically active region at ~361 nm, and the direct bandgap, calculated using the Tauc plot, was 3.28 eV. The photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2 for methylene blue degradation reached 86.23% within 90 minutes, showing its potential for environmental remediation.
Structural modulation of graphene by an external electric field

Published: January 2025

The geometric structure of graphene under an external electric field was investigated using the density functional theory (DFT). DFT calculations revealed that the hole injection into graphene highly modulates the geometric structure of graphene. The lattice parameter of graphene monotonically increased with increasing the hole doping concentration. The lattice constant is insensitive to the electron doping. The fragility and robustness against the hole and electron doping, respectively, are ascribed to the electronic structure of graphene under the electric field. The wave function analysis revealed that the holes are accommodated in the bonding π states, weakening covalent bonds between C atoms. In contrast, the electrons are primarily accommodated in nearly free electron states with a maximum amplitude above and below the graphene layer

Ancient Egypt is a civilization in the northeastern part of Africa. These civilizations were concentrated along the middle to the lower reaches of the Nile which reached its heyday around the 2nd century BC. During what is known as the new kingdom period. Its area spans the Nile Delta region in the North, to Jebel Barkal in the fourth Cataract of the Nile. At certain times, ancient Egyptian civilization extended to the southern Levant, the Eastern Desert, the Red Sea coast, the Sinai peninsula, and the western desert (concentrating on several oases). Egypt is a country that has a long history in the past. Its civilization is recognized by the world as one of the most advanced civilizations that has ever existed. The pyramids, the stories of Pharaoh, Cleopatra, and the spinx are symbols of how much history has happened in this land that the Nile flows through. As a country rich in history, Egypt has provided many great discoveries that have been of use until now. It's no wonder that many world researchers are interested in exploring the history of Ancient Egypt, historical discoveries from the Ancient Egyptians whose benefits are widely felt today.
