Authors: Suneja Shilpa
Published: February 2024

Objectives Fire safety is of paramount importance in healthcare settings, particularly in clinical
laboratories where hazardous substances, ammable materials, and complex equipment are frequently
present. Knowledge and practices of health care workers about re safety prevention is essential to ensure the well-being of
patients, staff, and the preservation of critical healthcare services. Material & Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out
in clinical biochemistry laboratory of Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi, during from April 2023 to August 2023. Study participants
included the doctors, paramedical technical staff and group IV people. A questionnaire with close ended and open ended
questions was used for assessment. The data was tabulated in Microsoft MS-Excel data sheet and analysis was done using
SPSS 27 version of statistical software. Categorical variables were presented as number, percentage and median. Qualitative
variables were compared using Chi-Square test and quantitative variables using Kruskal Wallis test. For statistical
signicance, p value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically signicant. 63 HCWs Results participated in the study which
gave a 100% response rate. Most of the participants were Doctors (42.86%) and Laboratory technicians (44.44%) with variable
years of work experience ranging from <1 year to >9 years. The results indicate that participants have a mean knowledge
score of 7.94 ± 1.4 and median of 8 whereas the mean practice score was 7.24 ± 1.28 with a median of 7 towards re safety.
Conclusion: The present hospital based study revealed that the majority of healthcare workers had signicant knowledge
about re safety but still considering the important role of every employee in a re accident, there is need to give re safety
training to all health care workers at timely intervals.
ROLE OF SWEDAN (WHOLE BODY STEAM) IN THE TREATMENT OF DUSHI VISHA (LATENT POISONING).
Authors: Gawande Kolarkar Shilpa
Published: February 2024

Along with the air, soil, water; food is also contaminated with the traces of various chemical agents
contained by the pesticides, fertilizers, food preservatives, coloring agents, stabilizers. This leads to
cumulative poisoning. Cumulative poison remains inactive for longer time in body. Such latent poisoning caused due to
polluted soil, irregularities in daily routine, contaminated food, air, water, complies the denition of Dushi Visha (latent poison)
in Ayurveda which is inclusive of Dushtit desh (soil), Kaal (time), Anna (food). Swedan Upkram (whole body steam) followed by
Vaman (emesis) and Virechan (purgation) are Shodhan (detoxication) treatments mentioned in Ayurveda, which is elimination
of such poison from upper and lower natural orices.This is recommended by Sushrutacharya and Vagbhatacharya. Aim of this
review is to understand the role of Swedan upakram (whole body steam) which is also called sauna nowadays or heat stress, in
the treatment of Dushi visha (latent poison). Study of literature and available research work was pursued to understand the
mechanism of action of swedan upakram (whole body steam) in the treatment of Dushi visha (latent poison). Heat stress
followed by homeostasis achieved helps in the detoxication of latent poison from body.

PLETHORA OF HEPATOBILIARY LESIONS - OUR EXPERIENCE OF IMAGE GUIDED CYTOLOGY IN A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE OF EASTERN INDIA.
Authors: Dey Aniruna , Sahu Preeti , Khuraijam Margareth
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Hepatobiliary masses offer a variety of ndings spanning from non neoplastic to neoplastic ones. The neoplastic lesions can be
benign or malignant which can be further divided into primary or secondary malignancies. With raising incidences of liver and gall bladder
malignancies worldwide, a rapid and reliable diagnostic modality is the need of the hour. Fine needle aspiration cytology being a rapid and
minimally invasive procedure can serve as a rst line investigation in such cases. This study was done to evaluate the spectrum of hepatobiliary
lesions diagnosed by image guided cytology. Methods: It was a retrospective cross sectional study done in the Department of Pathology
ESIPGIMSR ESIC Medical College, Joka, Kolkata. Archives of six years from January 2017 to December 2022 comprising of total 153 cases of
Computed topography and ultrasound guided FNAC of hepatobiliary lesions were taken from the department and studied for various cytological
ndings. Results: Out of 153 cases, there were 102 hepatic lesions and 51 biliary lesions. The hepatic lesions were divided into ve categories
infective/inammatory (12.7%), benign (6.8%), malignant (57.8%), suspicious for malignancy (4.9%) and inconclusive (17.6%). Among the 59
malignant hepatic lesions 40 were metastatic adenocarcinoma, 11 were hepatocellular carcinoma, ve were poorly differentiated carcinoma and
there were one case each of cholangiocarcinoma, metastatic melanoma and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. Biliary lesions fell into four
categories inammatory (15.6%), malignant (56.8%), suspicious for malignancy (11.7%) and inconclusive (15.6%). The commonest malignant
biliary lesion was adenocarcinoma gall bladder (19/29) followed by cholangiocarcinoma (5/29) and poorly differentiated carcinoma (5/29).
Conclusion: FNAC is a reliable, rapid and minimally invasive technique in the diagnosis of patients presenting with hepatobiliary masses.

Authors: Delphi , Board
Published: February 2024

OBIETTIVI La rivoluzione nell’approccio terapeutico al diabete di tipo 2 (T2D) impone un ripensamento del posizionamento della terapia insulinica. Dato il numero considerevole di domande aperte, è stato riunito un gruppo di esperti, con l’obiettivo di fornire, tramite il metodo Delphi, una guida pratica per i medici. METODI Uno gruppo di 6 esperti (Delphi board) ha sviluppato una serie di 29 statement su: ruolo del controllo metabolico alla luce delle linee guida più recenti; strategie di intensificazione dell’insulina basale (BI): 1) add-on vs. switch; 2) inerzia nell’iniziare e nel titolare; 3) combinazione libera vs. rapporto fisso; strategie di intensificazione e de-intensificazione da basal-bolus; analoghi di seconda generazione della BI (2BI). È stato quindi individuato un panel di 31 diabetologi che, tramite accesso al sito web dedicato, hanno assegnato a ciascuno statement un punteggio di rilevanza su una scala a 9 punti. È stato adottato il RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method per valutare l’esistenza di disaccordo tra i partecipanti. RISULTATI Per tutte le 29 affermazioni i membri del panel hanno mostrato accordo. Sono stati considerati rilevanti 26 statement, mentre uno è stato ritenuto non rilevante e due di rilevanza incerta. CONCLUSIONI La disponibilità di nuove classi di farmaci consente spesso di posticipare l’avvio della BI e di semplificare gli schemi terapeutici. Rimane fondamentale iniziare e titolare in modo tempestivo la terapia insulinica quando richiesta. La BI dovrebbe sempre, salvo controindicazioni, essere avviata in aggiunta e non in sostituzione dei trattamenti in corso con benefici cardiorenali. Le 2BI dovrebbero essere preferite per il loro profilo farmacologico, la maggiore semplicità di autotitolazione e la flessibilità di somministrazione. PAROLE CHIAVE diabete di tipo 2; expert consensus; terapia insulinica basale; inerzia terapeutica.

Cataract remains a significant public health issue in developing countries, and its treatment is predominantly surgical. The aim of this study was to evaluate extracapsular extraction using manual phaco alternative without sutures in terms of functional outcomes. This prospective study took place from January 2023 to June 2023, involving 170 eyes followed up to day 30 at the secondary ophthalmology center in Ouelessebougou. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS and Excel 2016. Almost all our patients, 95% in Phaco-A and 93.3% in ECCE+PCI, underwent biometry. At day 30 postoperatively with correction, the phaco alternative yielded 88.8% good results, and extracapsular extraction showed 72.2% good results. At day 30 with correction, Phaco-A resulted in 88.75% of patients achieving good visual acuity compared to 72.22% in ECCE+PCI. This result is comparable to those of Konaté M [17] and Windinmanegdé Djiguimdé et al., [18], who achieved 83.49% and 79.6% good visual acuities, respectively. Phaco alternative provides better postoperative results in cataract surgery at the secondary ophthalmology center of Ouelessebougou.

Pigmented Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Skin: A Rare Entity
Authors: Kaur Kushaldeep , Kaur Amrinder , Singh Harpal , Sethi Shivam , Kaur Harleen
Published: February 2024

Squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common form of skin cancer, is caused by the cumulative exposure of skin to UV light. It originates from epidermal keratinocytes or adnexal structures (such as eccrine glands or pilosebaceous units). Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has several histologic variants, such as clear cell SCC, signet ring SCC, basaloid SCC, desmoplastic SCC, verrucous and pigmented SCC, among others. Although dendritic melanin containing melanocytes can be seen in a variety of epithelial neoplasms, but only 0.01% to 7% of all squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) are pigmented. Most of which have occurred in the oral and ocular mucosa, with relatively few cases to originate in the skin. The main clinical differential diagnosis for pigmented squamous cell carcinoma are pigmented basal cell carcinoma and melanoma. Herein we report a case of 62 year old male who presented with a blue-black growth over the left inguinal region. Routine lab investigations showed no change and no lymphadenopathy was observed. Biopsy of the growth was received and histopathological evaluation revealed pigmented squamous cell carcinoma. Microscopic examination revealed squamous cell carcinoma with numerous dendritic melanophages showing pigmented melanin. Pigmented SCC can be confused with benign and malignant melanocytic neoplasms, pigmented basal cell carcinoma, actinic keratosis, seborrheic keratosis and pigmented bowen’s disease. In conclusion, this case demonstrates that although pigmented squamous cell carcinomas are relatively rare, they should be included in differential diagnosis of pigmented cutaneous lesions and must be distinguished from other tumors with similar histological findings.

Authors: Karyatun Subur
Published: February 2024

This study aims to analyze the effect of liquidity, profitability, and solvency on stock returns in manufacturing companies for the 2016-2020 period. The data in this study uses secondary data in the form of financial reports that meet the criteria. The technique used in the analysis in this study was panel data linear regression using the EVIEWS 10 program. The test results using panel data regression with the EVIEWS 10 tool yielded only two of the three independent variables that had a significant effect on stock returns. Profitability as measured by return on equity and solvency as measured by the debt to equity ratio predicts stock returns in a positive direction. Meanwhile, liquidity as measured by the current ratio has no effect on stock returns. Investment in the manufacturing sector which is a capital-intensive company requires financing to develop the business so that a high solvency value can reflect a better stock return.

Efforts of Different Regimes in Kenya Toward National Cohesion and Integration, 1963-2022
Authors: Nyamweno Benson
Published: February 2024

Kenya like many states in the African continent is a multi-ethnic nation. Since its independence in 1963, Kenya has had challenges in putting together its communities. Conflict always arises as a result of the unequal distribution of resources among communities. This article will strive to unravel the efforts of different regimes in Kenya since its independence in achieving national cohesion and integration. The article argues for a rethinking of socio-economic policies through political goodwill and instilling national ethos, otherwise, the initiatives for national cohesion and integration will be in vain, stillborn, and frustrated across the nation. To adequately answer the above question, the researcher will be guided by this sole objective which is to examine the efforts of different regimes in Kenya toward achieving national cohesion and integration. The assumptions of the study will be, ethnic conflict is influenced by the context, typology of actors, and nature of the divergent interests sought for. The study is expected to offer a unique opportunity for policymakers to understand the political context and varied interests of various political players to not only predict the outcome but also determine the agenda-setting for national cohesion and integration in Kenya. The article adopted a qualitative approach by going through available literature on the subject matter to reach a logical conclusion. The author concludes by offering policy recommendations necessary for achieving national cohesion and integration in Kenya.
African Indigenous Research to Decolonisation of African Universities’ Curricula
Authors: Masoga Mogomme
Published: February 2024

The phrase African indigenous research (AIR) depicts a novel research thrust that seeks a global entrance into the mainstream research assortment as a competitive area of study. A discourse on decolonisation attempts to reverse the gains of colonialism. Existing studies show that most (South) African universities’ curricula can be traced to the colonial era. A rereading of available scholarly conversations depicts some reluctance on the part of education authorities towards decolonising the (South) African universities’ curricula. It is in the context of the above that the present study engages conversations on decolonisation in order to establish a common ground that affords AIR a notable articulation on decolonisation of (South) African Universities’ curricula. The present research is anchored on a critical race theory (CRT) in which narrative inquiry as a methodological approach is utilised. Although the phrase African universities’ curricula is employed, the study will focus on the (South) African universities’ curricula as representative examples. The (South) African scenario is preferred as a case study due to the author’s familiarisation with (South) African universities as well as African decolonisation discourses. The study attempts to answer the following three questions (1) what motivated research conversations on decolonisation? (2) why is the study on decolonisation of the curricula in (South) African universities necessary? and (3) what is the global impact of decolonisation processes in (South) Africa?

Monitoring Lake Level Changes in Bosten Lake from 2003-2021 based on Multi-source Satellite Altimetry Data
Authors: Cheng Chunyan , Zhang Fei
Published: February 2024

The investigation of freshwater lake water resource changes in arid regions is crucial for understanding the evolution of regional lake dynamics under climate change, given their value and limited availability. This study aims to overcome the limitations of traditional water level monitoring methods and address the practical need for monitoring water level changes in Lake Bosten, located in the arid and semi-arid regions of China. To this end, we employed ICESat, ICESat-2, and CryoSat-2 altimetry data, as well as Landsat 8-OLI optical remote sensing data, to obtain the water level information for Bosten Lake from 2003 to 2022. We analyzed the temporal variation of the lake level and discussed the response of the lake level to climate and human activities in the context of temperature, precipitation data, and human water use. The water level of Lake Bosten exhibited a decreasing and then increasing trend, with three rising and three falling intervals, respectively. The intra-year variation of the lake water level exhibited bimodal characteristics, and the fluctuation range of water level during abundant water periods was greater than that during dry periods. Finally, we correlated the extracted lake water level with the measured water level at the hydrological station and found a significant positive linear correlation between the observed water level of Bosten Lake based on satellite altimetry and the measured water level at the hydrological station, with an overall correlation coefficient of 0.896 and 0.934 (P < 0.01), indicating high accuracy of the water level results obtained in this study. The dynamics of Lake Bosten are influenced by a combination of climate change, hydrological elements, and human activities, with a relatively weak relationship between climate change and lake volume and a strong influence of human activities. Multi-source altimetry satellites provide a powerful tool for monitoring lake water levels over a long time scale, which is critical for studying lake water level changes and their response to climate and the environment.

Published: February 2024

In dem vorliegenden Beitrag werden weiterführende Nachweisverfahren hinsichtlich der Bewertung von bestehenden Spannbetonbrücken unter Querkraftbiegung und zusätzlicher Torsion untersucht. Die Verfahren basieren auf einer genaueren Erfassung der Interaktion zwischen Biege-, Querkraft- und Torsionsbeanspruchung um Tragreserven zu aktivieren. Die präsentierten Forschungsergebnisse basieren auf den an der TU Dortmund durchgeführten experimentellen Untersuchungen an zwei großformatigen Versuchsreihen im Rahmen des BASt Projekts FE 15.0664/2019/DRB [1]. Die Versuche dienen dazu, die neu entwickelten theoretischen Ansätze zu verifizieren.

 

Bei älteren Bauwerken liegt die vorhandene Querkraftbewehrung oft unterhalb der normgemäßen Mindestbewehrung gemäß DIN EN 1992–1–1 [2]. Ziel war es, die dadurch begrenzte Tragfähigkeit möglichst realitätsnah zu bestimmen. Weiterhin wurden die Interaktionsbedingungen hinsichtlich eines Versagens des Betons auf Druck unter einer kombinierten Beanspruchung (M+V+T) überprüft. Darüber hinaus wurden Konstruktionsregeln zum Schließen der Bügel bei zusätzlicher Torsion überprüft. Der Abfall der Torsionssteifigkeit infolge Rissbildung wurde experimentell untersucht, um die 40 % Regel der Nachrechnungsrichtlinie [3] hinsichtlich des Abfalls der Torsionssteifigkeit zu verifizieren.
Hukum Musik dalam Islam: Analisis Penafsiran Quraish Shihab dalam Tafsir al-Misbah Al Misbah
Authors: Setiyo Eko , Rosowulan Titis , Purwanto Purwanto , Mustofa Ahmad
Published: February 2024

Research on music law has become an exciting and in-depth research topic, where researchers try to understand views and approaches to music from various perspectives, both in terms of fiqh, Islamic Sufism, hadith, and the thoughts of Islamic figures. From the research that has been carried out previously, there has not been much research on music that examines the interpretation of al Misbah by Quraish Shihab. The methodology applied is a qualitative approach, which aims to understand and explain specific meanings, phenomena, or ideas, different from quantitative approaches, which focus on statistics. This research uses a type of research library research (library research) using library sources. This research is qualitative research that explains descriptively using two data sources, namely primary and secondary. The primary source in this research is Tafsir al-Misbah, written by Quraish Shihab. Secondary data sources in this research come from books and journals relevant to the research theme. The data that has been collected is then analyzed carefully using thematic interpretation theory. The main findings show that the analysis of the verses used as the evidence or basis for the prohibition of music in the interpretation of al Misbah can be concluded that no verses expressly prohibit music. Based on the explanation above, the words "lahw al-hadith" in Surah Luqman verse 6 are one of the bases for the ulama who prohibit singing. However, Quraish Shihab supports the view that singing, including music, is acceptable in Islam if its content does not conflict with religious teachings and if the music promotes goodness.

El embarazo molar es un embarazo anormal caracterizado por diversos grados de proliferación del trofoblasto (citotrofoblasto y sincitiotrofoblasto) e inflamación de las vesículas calcáreas placentarias asociadas con la ausencia o anomalías del feto/embrión. Según criterios morfológicos y citogenéticos se han descrito dos tipos de mola: mola completa y mola parcial. Aunque los lunares generalmente se consideran benignos, son lesiones precancerosas que pueden volverse malignas e invasivas. El tratamiento de elección es la evacuación uterina y la monitorización estricta de la gonadotropina coriónica humana (hCG), especialmente el control de los niveles de β-hCG, fundamental para el diagnóstico precoz de la neoplasia trofoblástica durante el embarazo. Se reporta una paciente femenina de 23 años sin antecedentes de importancia, al momento embarazado de 9 semanas de gestación acude por presentar vómitos por varias ocasiones de contenido alimentario acompañado de sangrado transvaginal.

Published: February 2024

This research aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy on the intention to improve performance and sustainability of homestay operators in Pinrang Regency. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), the study explores how financial literacy affects attitudes toward behavior, subjective norms, perceived behavior control, and their impact on the operators' intention to enhance performance and sustainability. Results show that financial literacy significantly influences attitudes toward behavior, perceived behavior control, and subjective norms of homestay operators. The intention to improve performance and sustainability is positively influenced by attitudes and perceived behavior control, while subjective norms have no significant impact. These findings highlight the crucial role of financial literacy in supporting homestay performance and sustainability in Pinrang Regency, emphasizing the need for continued support from relevant stakeholders.
Artificial Intelligence and the Silent Pandemic of Antimicrobial Resistance: A Comprehensive Exploration

Published: February 2024

The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the 21st century has made it a worldwide disaster. Due to the fast spread of AMR illnesses and the lack of novel antimicrobials, the silent pandemic is well known. This issue requires a fast and meaningful response, not just speculation. To address this dilemma, deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) have become essential in many sectors. As a cornerstone of modern research, machine learning helps handle the many aspects of AMR. AI helps researchers construct clinical decision-support systems by collecting clinical data. These methods enable antimicrobial resistance monitoring and wise use. Additionally, AI applications help research new drugs. AI also excels at synergistic medicine combinations, providing new treatment methods. This paper summarizes our extensive study of AI and the silent epidemic of antibiotic resistance. Through deep learning and machine learning applications across multiple dimensions, we hope to contribute to the proactive management of AMR, moving away from its presentation as a future problem to present-day solutions.
METHODOLOGY FOR GRANTING GREEN BUSINESS CREDITS

Published: February 2024

In the face of negative changes in climate change and the natural environment, the financial system is obliged to change its financial mechanisms as efficiently as possible to help the economy transform according to the green rate concept. The taxonomy published by the EU (2021) is an economic classifier, with the help of which businesses can transform their processes and banks can select green projects. Sustainability and the fight against climate change is one of the strategic directions of the Bank of Lithuania, so in order to achieve better results, it would be appropriate to combine state and business investments. And although the sustainability of business activities is becoming a priority, commercial banks providing loans do not yet have clear criteria or a unified evaluation system for distinguishing environmentally friendly business. In Lithuania, the banking sector is guided by ESG principles, the EU taxonomy regulation, and other autonomously created criteria that allow to decide whether to promote one or another business that could potentially create not only financial, but also additional, sustainable ecological returns. According to the principles of UN Responsible Banking, there are already actively committed banks that contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement for integrated sustainability as a natural element necessary in the long term. The article analyzes the current topic of the green exchange rate in the banking sector, uses the systematization and comparative analysis of scientific literature. The concept of green finance is discussed; changes in bank activities and a new look at creditable businesses according to the green rate standard and the transformation of banks through the criteria of their activities.
A Lens Finder Map to Check Claimed High-z Galaxies behind SMACS J0723.3-7327

The first science image released by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveals numerous galaxies in the distant background of the galaxy cluster SMACS J0723.3-7327. Some have claimed redshifts of up to z ≃ 20, challenging standard cosmological models for structure formation. Here, we present a lens model for SMACS J0723.3-7327 anchored on five spectroscopically confirmed systems at 1.38 ≤ z ≤ 2.21 that are multiply lensed, along with 12 other systems with proposed image counterparts sharing common colors, spectral energy distributions, and morphological features, but having unknown redshifts. Constrained only by their image positions, and where available, redshifts, our lens model correctly reproduces the positions and correctly predicts the morphologies and relative brightnesses of all these image counterparts, as well as providing geometrically determined redshifts spanning 1.4 ≲ z ≲ 6.7 for the 12 candidate multiply lensed galaxies lacking spectroscopic measurements. From this lens model, we create a lens finder map that defines regions over which galaxies beyond a certain redshift are predicted to be multiply lensed. Applying this map to three galaxies claimed to be at 10 ≲ z ≲ 20, we find no image counterparts at locations (with an uncertainty of ∼0.″5) where they ought to be sufficiently magnified to be detectable—suggesting instead that these galaxies lie at z ≲ 1.7–3.2. In lieu of spectroscopy, the creation of reliable lens finder maps for cluster fields is urgently needed to test and constrain redshifts inferred from photometry for a rapidly increasing number of candidate high-z galaxies found with JWST.
Direct T

We report detections of the [O iii]λ4364 auroral emission line for 16 galaxies at z = 2.1–8.7, measured from JWST/NIRSpec observations obtained as part of the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) survey program. We combine this CEERS sample with 9 objects from the literature at z = 4−9 with auroral-line detections from JWST/NIRSpec and 21 galaxies at z = 1.4−3.7 with auroral-line detections from ground-based spectroscopy. We derive electron temperature (T
e) and direct-method oxygen abundances for the combined sample of 46 star-forming galaxies at z = 1.4−8.7. We use these measurements to construct the first high-redshift empirical T
e-based metallicity calibrations for the strong-line ratios [O iii]/Hβ, [O ii]/Hβ, R23 = ([O iii]+[O ii])/Hβ, [O iii]/[O ii], and [Ne iii]/[O ii]. These new calibrations are valid over 12+log(O/H) = 7.4−8.3 and can be applied to samples of star-forming galaxies at z = 2−9, leading to an improvement in the accuracy of metallicity determinations at Cosmic Noon and in the Epoch of Reionization. The high-redshift strong-line relations are offset from calibrations based on typical z ∼ 0 galaxies or H ii regions, reflecting the known evolution of ionization conditions between z ∼ 0 and z ∼ 2. Deep spectroscopic programs with JWST/NIRSpec promise to improve statistics at the low and high ends of the metallicity range covered by the current sample, as well as to improve the detection rate of [N ii]λ6585 and thus allow the future assessment of N-based indicators. These new high-redshift calibrations will enable accurate characterizations of metallicity scaling relations at high redshift, improving our understanding of feedback and baryon cycling in the early Universe.
