An Article on Rhinophobia: The Fear of Contracting Diseases
Authors: Deshmukh Megha
Published: October 2024

The excessive or unreasonable dread of being sick is known as nosophobia. Sometimes people only refer to this particular fear as "disease phobia. " Because it might lead students to feel they have a sickness after studying it, nosophobia is frequently referred to as the "disease of medical students. " Pathophobia, sickness phobia, and hypochondria are other words for nosophobia. Cyberchondria is another term that has been used to describe nosophobia in recent years. This is due to the fact that "cyberspace" on the Internet contains a large portion of the material that is the source of the anxiety.1 Understanding nosophobia requires a holistic approach that addresses both the cognitive and emotional components of fear. Cognitive - behavioral therapy (CBT) emerges as a promising intervention, helping individuals challenge distorted beliefs, develop coping mechanisms, and gradually confront their fears in a controlled environment. Moreover, fostering a supportive and empathetic environment is crucial in mitigating the stigma surrounding nosophobia and promoting effective treatment - seeking behaviors. Healthcare providers play a pivotal role in providing education, reassurance, and personalized care to individuals struggling with nosophobia, thereby empowering them to regain a sense of control over their health.

Authors: Zhang Feiran , Zhang Hui , Zhao Shiying
Published: October 2024

Cerebral ischemic stroke (CIS) is an acute cerebrovascular disease characterized by focal neurological deficits. Many modern scholars believe that the pathogenesis of CIS is related to factors such as endothelial injury, oxidative stress imbalance, neuroinflammation, cell apoptosis and autophagy, calcium overload, and excessive accumulation of oxygen free radicals. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the pathogenesis of CIS is obstructed meridians, phlegm and blood stasis, and obstruction of the brain and orifices. Danshen, as a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine in clinical practice, has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, unblocking meridians and relieving pain, clearing the heart and eliminating restlessness, cooling blood and eliminating carbuncle. In addition, modern pharmacological research has found that the specific pharmacological components of Salvia miltiorrhiza include tanshinone, salvianolic acid, shikimic acid, danshensu, protocatechualdehyde, etc. It has antioxidant stress, regulation of cell autophagy, anti-inflammatory factors, antiplatelet aggregation, and protection of vascular endothelium. This article aims to analyze and summarize the pharmacological mechanism of salvia miltiorrhiza in treating CIS, providing scientific basis for clinical application of salvia miltiorrhiza in treating CIS.

Authors: Lu Yongming , Liu Yibing , Zhang Yuting , Juan Chenxi , Cai Yanting , Yang Shuting , Hu Zhongjun
Published: October 2024

Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) is a type of highly ductile cementitious material. However, due to its characteristics of high energy consumption and high carbon emissions, it is necessary to seek a new type of low-carbon and environmentally friendly substitute. Engineered Geopolymer Composite (EGC), as a promising construction material for replacing ECC, has broad application prospects. Through visual analysis of the relevant literature in Web of Science, it was discovered that the research on EGC mainly concentrates on aspects such as the types of precursors, the chemical composition of the alkali-activated solution, and the related parameters of fibers. This paper mainly combines the relevant experimental research data on the tensile properties of EGC conducted by scholars at home and abroad, and focuses on analyzing the influence of precursor types, the chemical composition of the alkaline activator, and fibers on the tensile properties of EGC. The statistical results indicate that fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) are the most commonly used precursor materials. Replacing an appropriate amount of fly ash in the precursor with GGBFS can significantly enhance the tensile strength of EGC. The type of alkaline activator and its molarity have a relatively obvious influence on the tensile properties of EGC. An increase in the molarity of NaOH within a certain range can enhance the tensile strength of EGC. Furthermore, the incorporation of fibers, especially synthetic fibers such as polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers, as well as inorganic fibers such as glass fibers (GF) and carbon fibers (CF), can effectively enhance the tensile strength and tensile strain capacity of EGC. The use of hybrid fibers may further improve the tensile properties.

Published: October 2024

Building a community with a shared future for mankind is the inherent requirement of Chinese modernization, which reflects the interconnection between the two in terms of connotation, practical path and value orientation. Promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind guided by Chinese-style modernization is conducive to the historical process of the CPC in accelerating its modernization drive, which is also a concrete and profound expression of the CPC in the practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics. This initiative will help accelerate the realization of national rejuvenation and building China into a great modern country, reflect the inherent requirements of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, and promote the building of a new world order and world governance system. Chinese-style modernization is one that stands on the right side of history. Promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind is conducive to the elimination of anti-globalization thoughts. Chinese-style modernization is the socialist modernization under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. It also vividly embodies the spiritual realm of the Communist Party of China with the world in mind, and promotes the realization of comprehensive and free individual development and the great cause of common liberation of all mankind.
Fang Dongmei's View on the Universality of "Consistency" in Chinese Philosophy
Authors: Dong Xueliang
Published: October 2024

In Chinese philosophy, although the ultimate pursuit of human beings by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is different, as Fang Dongmei said, "Confucianism lies in promoting the sage's atmosphere, Taoism is intoxicated with poetry and art, while Buddhism seeks the spiritual illumination of human spirit with painstaking wisdom", but the starting point of all three is to show that the universe and life are a coherent whole by-pass. Confucianism tends to regard human affairs and heaven as a whole, Taoism tends to regard human beings and nature as a whole, Buddhism tends to regard human beings and the universe as a whole, and Neo-Confucianism tends to regard Confucianism as the basis. Tuning, taking into account the other two, linking man and nature is another form. The consistency and complementarity of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism affect the existence of Chinese philosophy and the thinking mode of Chinese people.

Ethics and Values Matter: The Role of Higher Education
Authors: Mishra Ashutosh Kumar , Bilal Mohd
Published: October 2024

Human existence is a process of learning and development aimed at achieving wisdom, and education has been regarded as the ultimate value system since the birth of culture and way of life for this reason. Education is more than only the acquisition of skills or the gathering of knowledge or news about a topic of interest from others or from other parts of the world. It is not limited to the abilities of obtaining information received and preserved via knowing, or just the exploration of existential problems and familiarization with previously acquired knowledge or data, or with a system of knowledge - but also with the goal of comprehending this cognition. Knowledge is involved with the comprehension of a collection of propositions or concepts. Knowledge can be theoretical and practical, fundamental and abstract, and it may exist in any time period: past, present, and future. However, cognition is always done in the present. Past memories and future prophecies are also remembered in the present, as the ideas flash or surface in the mind. These flashes act as an impetus for our quick determination, allowing us to decide whether or not to undertake anything. However, for the purpose of brevity, I'll lump the two, knowledge and cognition, together under the heading of knowledge. Education fosters the development of talents from all three faculties, as well as wisdom in their right application for the benefit of people and society for creating value and ethics. The goal of NEP 2020 is also having important role in higher education teaching to encourage systematic and focused discoveries and practices that benefit society. Society views higher education institutions as catalysts for the transformation of knowledge into wisdom. The quality, morals, and ethics of higher education institutions are increasingly important in integrating young people into society. A country like India has a large young population, and they are the frontiers of the Indian government's Made in India Initiative. It has been well mentioned that the actual philosophy of education is in the combination of ethics, virtues, values, and the validity of human life, thus it is vital to improve ethical values, philosophical thinking, study, research, and moral growth in the Indian education system.

Authors: P. KING RICHARD , O. EKWU ALICE , E. EKPO IMAOBONG
Published: October 2024

A parsimonious survey of the fish biodiversity of the Stubbs Creek, a coastal freshwater/ blackwater stream in the Niger Delta, Nigeria was conducted. The all Teleostei fishes comprised a high taxonomic heterogeneity with 32 species, 24 genera and 17 families. They were organized in three eco physiological assemblages (the primary freshwater, secondary freshwater and peripheral Assemblages) and four mesohabitat assemblages (benthic, benthopelagic, pelagic and epipelagic assemblages). Approximately 84.4% of the fish species were found to be equipped with a variety of biophysical life enhancement devices which enable them to optimally exploit the available resources of the habitat space. The Stubbs Creek has the potential of producing about 27.2 tonnes km-2 year-1 of fish flesh for human consumption, barring the impacts of oil spill effluents from a major oil producing company within the Stream basin/catchment area. Elevated levels of Hydrocarbon (PAHs) and heavy Metals, far above WHO recommended levels were observed in this study. It is figured that the results of this study qualify the Stubbs Creek to be considered as ‘Stream of Special Scientific Interest‘ (SSSI) for management and conservation purposes

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney disease. In Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of hypertension is estimated to be 14%. Primary health care centers (PHCCs) play a major role in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of hypertensive patients in Saudi Arabia. This study employed a cross-sectional design to collect data from medical records of hypertension patients registered with primary health care centers (PHCCs) in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The data was obtained through a comprehensive review of these medical records. Out of the 16,623 patients included in the study, the average annual visit frequency was 5.5 for females and 6 for males. 65.6% (10,910 patients) completed all four annual visits. There was no statistically significant difference in visit completion rates between males and females. The visit count was found to be negatively correlated with Systolic BP (-0.151, 95% CI [-0.195, -0.165]), Diastolic BP (-0.137, 95% CI [-0.147, -0.117]), and MAP (-0.176, 95% CI [-0.191, -0.161]), with a P-value < 0.001 for all parameters. Our findings indicate that the number of visits to Makkah Primary Health Centers positively influences blood pressure control in hypertensive patients.

Published: October 2024

Expanded donor criteria have been established to reduce organ wastage, as various factors can lead the disposal of kidneys, such as anatomical abnormalities, traumatic injuries, and iatrogenic injuries during organ retrieval surgery. We report a case of kidney transplantation in which a capsular lesion was identi!ed and repaired during organ preparation (back table) and review of the literature regarding transplant kidney injuries. A diabetic and hypertensive 52-year-old patient with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis therapy for 2 years was admitted for a deceased donor kidney transplant. "e donor was a 35-year-old man with brain death secondary to traumatic brain injury in a car accident. During the kidney preparation on the back table, a capsular lesion was visualized on the upper pole of the right kidney. Continuous suture of the renal capsule was performed using a 3-0 CatGut suture to correct the defect and reconstruct the renal surface. After renal reperfusion, no active bleeding was observed from the sutured area. "e patient had a good postoperative course with no complications. "e main complications associated with capsular lesions and complete capsular denudation are bleeding and hematoma formation, as well as urinary and lymphatic extravasation through the exposed renal parenchyma. Treatment may involve direct cauterization using electrocautery or argon plasma, or the use of hemostatic agents. Successful repair of capsular lesions not only prevents complications such as bleeding during reperfusion and urinary !stulae but also plays a crucial role in expanding the pool of organs available for transplantation.

The Clockwork Olive: Perspectives from the “American Shoulder”
Authors: Brizio Cesare
Published: October 2024

The structure and the biological significance of the Olivinae fasciculate ornamentation known as “American Shoulder” (after its presence in the American olives) are investigated for around 20 Western Atlantic / Gulf of Mexico / Caribbean species. The applicability of the “Chevron Paradigm” by Tursch & Greifeneder (2001) to the subchannel area is questioned and contrary evidence is proposed. A robust correlation between lip thinning phases and the generation of the typical American Shoulder features is observed: their coincidence with rapid growth stages as reported by Strano (2017) is plausible but wasn’t established decisively in absence of destructive investigations. The issues of intraspecific and interspecific variability are addressed thanks to an extensive photographic coverage, and a new general description of the peculiar pattern emerges from the investigations. The initial identification of some specimens included in this study is questioned on the basis of their subchannel pattern, hinting at its possible use as an accessory character in species determination, and suggesting to include exhaustive descriptions of American Shoulder patterns in new nomenclatural acts involving the (sub)genus Americoliva.

Published: October 2024

Türkçenin söz varlığı içerisinde önemli bir yere sahip olan dinî söz varlığı, tarih boyunca yaşanan her din değişikliğinde büyük oranda etki altında kalmıştır. Mensup olunan her yeni dine ait terim ve kavramlar önce ana dilin imkânlarıyla karşılanmış sonrasında ise kaynak dilden ödünç kelimelerin alınması kaçınılmaz olmuştur. Gerek İslamiyet gerekse eski Türk dinlerine dayanan dinî söz varlığının oluşum yolları incelendiğinde belirli bir geleneğin ya da temayülün izlerini sürebilmek mümkündür. Bu çalışmada dinî söz varlığı, İlk İslami eserlerle yapılacak karşılaştırmalarla oluşum yolları bakımından Türkçenin kuzeybatı lehçelerinden biri olan Kazakçada ele alınacaktır. Kazakçanın dinȋ söz varlığını oluşum yolları bakımından incelemek; ilk İslami eserlerden hatta eski Türk dinlerinden günümüz Kazakçasına değin devam eden ya da ayrılan noktaları açıklamak bu çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır.

Osi Island is included in the leading tourist destinations of Western Seram Regency. The island has a major attraction, namely a mangrove forest along a wooden bridge with a length of 1,300 meters. The problems in this study are that there is no clean water, some facilities are not good, access in ecotourism areas such as bridges and trails are starting to have holes. The purpose of this study is to determine the existing condition of mangrove ecotourism, as well as to analyze the value of suitability and carrying capacity of mangrove ecotourism areas. This study uses descriptive analysis methods, visitor perception analysis, suitability analysis and area carrying capacity analysis. The results obtained are that the existing condition of the Osi Island mangrove forest ecotourism has cool forest conditions along the bridge and clean sea views, but the access (trails and bridges) to Osi Island is still damaged and there are supporting facilities and infrastructure that are already available. The total score of the results of the mangrove ecotourism condition of Osi Island is included in the S2 category (Appropriate), with a total score of 68 and a tourism suitability index of 78%, meaning that it can be used for ecotourism activities and the carrying capacity of the mangrove ecotourism area on Osi Island is 409 people per day

The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the Gaidropsarus mediterraneus (Linnaeus, 1758) species growth pattern from the Romanian Black Sea Coast, in the year 2023. This has been accomplished by studying the length-weight relationship, an important parameter, which helps to know the growth pattern of fish populations, Fulton’s condition factor (kc) (useful index for monitoring feeding intensity) from 180 shore rockling individuals caught by pots. Average lengths and weights were 24.4 ± 2.6 cm and 101.46 ± 38.11 g, respectively, the minimum and maximum values were 18.3 and 33.8 cm, 36 and 319 g in weight. The value of exponent b in the equation is 3.197, indicating that the increasing weight is allometrically positive and mean value of the Fulton was 0.68 ± 0.08, with the minimum and maximum values of 0.47 to 0.90. The obtained results can have useful effects on the stock management of this fish species.

Ulva species have a worldwide distribution and remarkable ability to develop under various conditions, being considered an important natural resource that is under-exploited along the Romanian Black Sea coast. These green algae, involved in green tides observed worldwide, have also a remarkable potential as prolific sources of bioactive compounds with potential health benefits and a wide range of applications in food, feed, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, or biofuel industries. The study aims to analyze the quantitative variability of Ulva spp. during 2019 - 2023, in order to highlight the areas with algal agglomerations. These are also areas where potential algal deposits can develop during summer season. This fresh biomass can be selectively collected and valorized, thus supporting the circular economy. The sampling method was the classic one (square method/20x20 cm) from 14 stations along Pescarie towards Vama Veche, at depths between 0 to 3 m deep. Among all Ulva spp., Ulva rigida and Ulva intestinalis quantitatively distinguished during the study period, being also the main components of algal deposits. The highest mean wet biomasses were recorded in the southern part, as follows: U. rigida – a maximum value of 2200 g/m2 at 2 Mai; U. intestinalis – max. value of 700 g/m2 at Eforie South. Furthermore, a review of species’ main bioactive compounds, emphasizing their potential health benefits, will also be provided.
