Authors: Fazaeli Hoda , Sheikholeslami Azar , Ebrahimi Zahra , Kalhor Naser , Naserpour Leila
Published: December 2024

Background: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) can be explained mainly by improper crosstalk between the embryo and endometrium. The T-helper1/T-helper2 profile balance influences effective embryo implantation. Endometrial immunomodulation via intrauterine injection of activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a potentially efficient treatment option.
Objective: This study aims to examine the biochemical and clinical pregnancies resulting from the intrauterine administering of activated PBMCs and PRP in RIF women.
Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial study was done in the Rooya Infertility Treatment Center, Qom, Iran from November 2022 to April 2024. 96 women with at least 2 RIFs were randomized into control, PBMC, and PRP groups. Briefly, 3 ml of blood sample was collected and PBMCs were isolated using Ficoll separation solution, and cultured for 72 hr. PRP was separated from 10 ml of peripheral blood through centrifugation. 2 days before embryo transfer PBMCs or PRP were transferred into the endometrial cavity.
Results: Except for the duration of infertility, which was higher in the PBMC group, all other baseline characteristics were not statistically different. Moreover, a significantly higher rate of biochemical pregnancy was observed in the PRP (10/32) and PBMC (12/32) groups compared to the control (3/32) (p = 0.027), while the rate of clinical pregnancy was only significantly higher in the PBMC group (10/32) than in the control group (2/32) (p = 0.038).
Conclusion: Neither PBMC nor PRP interventions exhibited a substantial advantage over one another regarding biochemical and clinical pregnancy rates.

ФОРМУВАННЯ КУЛЬТУРИ ДОБРОЧЕСНОСТІ В СУСПІЛЬСТВІ ТА БІЗНЕС-ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ (КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНЕ ОСМИСЛЕННЯ НОВИХ СВІТОВИХ ТЕНДЕНЦІЙ НА ОСНОВІ СОЦІОКУЛЬТУРНОЇ ПАРАДИГМИ)
Authors: Компанієць В. В.
Published: December 2024

У статті відзначено, що на сьогоднішній день шахрайство та корупція в управлінні і бізнесі зростають у всьому світі, набуваючи ознак найсерйознішої глобальної загрози сучасності. Аналіз світового досвіду показав, що в західній теорії та практиці розробляються нові заходи, інструменти, методи щодо їх подолання, у т. ч. шляхом створення культури доброчесності в суспільстві та бізнесі. Однак, у вітчизняній науковій спільноті питання формування культури доброчесності в суспільстві та бізнесі поки не набули належного поширення. Доведено, що звичайне копіювання світового досвіду створення та розвитку культури доброчесності не сприятиме подоланню шахрайства та корупції і підвищенню етичності населення та бізнесу. Відзначено, що нові інструменти та методи створення культури доброчесності мають бути критично осмислені, адже в них існує тонка грань щодо збереження самодетермінації та запобігання керованості особистості, алгоритмізації поведінки. Проаналізовано історичний досвід формування української культури та доброчесності і встановлено, що поряд з високими ідеалами моральності, зразками поведінки (ведення державних справ, підприємництва), які відповідали культуроутворюючій релігії, у минулому були присутні і грубі порушення ідеалів, дії проти совісті (у т. ч. розвиток корупції). Виявлено, що наша культура була сильною не інституційним устроєм, системою права, а вихованням совісті, творчості, відповідною освітою. Це була культура морального лідерства, коли одна особистість, що мала високі духовно-моральні, творчі якості та можливості, могла змінити майже неможливе і знайти унікальні, творчі рішення в складних умовах. Виділено причини втрати культури доброчесності в сучасному українському суспільстві. Доведено, що незважаючи на критичні умови та складні обставини, в яких опинилися наш народ та країна, саме в таких важких випробуваннях важливо відбудовувати культуру доброчесності особистості, суспільства, бізнесу, поєднуючи наші культурні ідеали і традиції та кращий, критично осмислений і адаптований до нашої реальності зарубіжний досвід.

Published: December 2024

Given the unique and immersive English language environment at Pondok Pesantren and MA As-Salafiyah Sumber Duko Pameksan , a comparative analysis of student engagement in both formal (classroom-based) and supplemental (extracurricular) English classes becomes essential.This research eventually aims to address the strengths and weaknesses of formal English instruction in fostering language proficiency among students at MA As-Salafiyah is, to what extent students actively engage with the content and teaching methods employed in formal English classes and how students perceive the value and impact of participating in extracurricular language activities.The study employed a qualitative research method with case study analysis., The findings reveal a complex interplay of factors influencing language learning in this context. While formal instruction, grounded in linguistic theory and structured lesson plans, provides a solid foundation, it faces challenges related to time constraints, limited real-world application, and student engagement. Conversely, extracurricular language activities, such as English camps, clubs, and competitions, are highly valued by both students and teachers for their immersive nature, focus on practical communication, and positive impact on motivation and confidence. These activities foster a sense of community among learners and complement formal instruction by providing opportunities for authentic language use and personal growth.The study concludes that a holistic approach that integrates formal instruction with engaging extracurricular activities, supported by adequate resources and a positive learning environment, can optimize language learning outcomes and foster a positive learning experience for students.

This research paper examines the educational thoughts of two prominent Malay-Muslim scholars, Za'ba (Zainal Abidin Ahmad) (d. 1973) and Hamka (Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah) (d. 1981), in the context of their contributions to education and society. Despite sharing a common era, Za'ba and Hamka had distinct views on education, influenced by their beliefs in the synthesis of modern knowledge and Islamic values. Therefore, this paper seeks to explore the similarities and differences in their concept of education. The authors implemented library research with content analysis and comparative studies based on the works of the aforementioned scholars. Hamka’s concept of education is based on his selected works namely Falsafah Hidup, Lembaga Budi and Lembaga Hidup. While for Za’ba, his thoughts are studied based on his work Jalan Keselamatan bagi Orang-Orang Melayu, Kemiskinan Melayu and other related writings of the discourse on Za’ba’s thought. The concept of education according to Hamka and Za’ba puts a strong emphasis on the significance of comprehensive knowledge that combines the perfection of intellectual, physical, and spiritual aspects of a man. Hamka’s emphasis of education is on shaping characters to produce a man who is capable of contributing to society. While Za’ba emphasis on education for the Malays. This paper delves into their perspectives, emphasizing their stances on the integration of Western education and Islamic teachings, their views on effective teaching and learning methods, important elements in education, and their approaches to curriculum development.

Published: December 2024

In the present study, the price of milk was estimated deterministically and stochastically for the period 2023-2028, with the objective of analyzing the economic situation of cow's milk production in Mexico, through the univariate series statistical method of time (ARIMA). A base average price was established, as well as its confidence intervals reflected in the lower limit price and upper limit price. The statistical distribution that best explained the behavior of base prices was the geometric distribution, which was used to estimate the stochastic model. The price of milk is expected to have a deterministic average behavior of 9.38 ± 0.76 pesos per liter for the next six years. The above suggests a methodological approach through which the estimation of the price of agricultural products can be explored and improved to obtain a differentiated price based on quality effect.

Beyond borders: Navigating non-traditional security challenges in Central Asia
Authors: Chatterjee Souvik
Published: December 2024

Since the end of the Cold War, non-traditional security threats have been a significant concern for five post-communist Central Asian powers, namely Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan. Security strategy for Central Asian powers remains predominantly entrenched in hard or military-oriented security. However, the contemporary challenges to regional security in Central Asia are related to human security stemming from the growth of transnational criminal groups, illegal immigration, water security, climate change, and others. Determining how non-traditional threats have impacted regional stability in Central Asia is, thus, the primary objective of this research. The descriptive method, a prominent social research method, sheds light on the recurrent pattern and meaning of complex security issues affecting CARs. The data is collected both from primary and secondary sources such as government reports, e-resources, news articles, journal articles, and others, to facilitate a deeper understanding of the different dimensions of security issues. By juxtaposing both data, this article highlights the interlink between traditional and non-traditional security challenges. The findings of this study suggest that Central Asian republics are required to become more resilient to shocks from the inside and avoid state failure. Sustainable development strategies must be embraced by governments with support from major powers such as Russia, China, and the US to lessen the political unrest, violence, and conflicts.

Published: December 2024

Customers are the end goal for every business as they create demand and revenue for the business organization. In order to retain customers, businesses need to identify what customers expect from them. One of the least studied businesses is the paint industry. The study filled this gap in knowledge by investigating perceived product reputation, brand commitment and corporate social responsibility as predictors of customer satisfaction among paint buyers in Lagos, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey research design was used, while a purposive sampling technique was utilized to select two local government areas in Lagos State. Data were collected from 274 paint buyers using validated scales and analyzed with a t-test of independent samples and multiple regression analysis. The result indicates that perceived product reputation, brand commitment and corporate social responsibility jointly predicted customer satisfaction among paint buyers. Furthermore, perceived product reputation, brand commitment and corporate social responsibility independently predicted customer satisfaction. The conclusion is that perceived product reputation, brand commitment, and corporate social responsibility are robust predictors of customer satisfaction among study participants. The study recommends that paint companies continue to improve their branding policy and corporate social responsibility to retain and capture potential consumers in the paint industry.

Authors: Daryanti  , Sudarwanto Albertus Sentot
Published: December 2024

Awareness of environmental damage that affects the quality of human life, such as the adverse effects of climate change, requires action and intervention by the government and society through policy and law enforcement. Normatively, this research examines the relationship of law as a representation of social control or what is called law as a tool of social engineering to community behavior. Environmental law plays a role in maintaining and controlling damage arising from human behavior and will in daily activities. The result of this study is that legal formation in increasing public awareness and concern in Indonesia towards environmental damage in mitigating and adapting to climate change is still not effective. That is evidence that the percentage of people who believe in environmental damage due to climate change in Indonesia is the lowest. This study concludes that there is a need for the most effective law enforcement to increase individual awareness of the impact of environmental damage on sustainable development.

Published: December 2024

The energy dependency of the grid will cause its own problems because the energy generated comes from fossil fuels. On the other hand, centralized electrification using renewable energy has a high risk on frequency and voltage stability. Renewable energy depends entirely on climate conditions and has no inertia to maintain stability. Hybrid energy between grids and Inverter Based Resources (IBRs) are alternative solutions used. The research applies an inverter control scheme to IBRs to be penetrated the grid. The research will apply a zero-export load with electricity requirements to be charged to renewable power plants using grid distribution networks. The inertia less properties of renewable energy will cause interference when combined with the power grid (synchronous generator). It will also be analyzed on this study by applying the following inverter scheme by paying attention to the phase angle and synchronization against the voltage, current and frequency variables of the grid. The results obtained in this study; renewable energy can contribute 90% to the load. This is due to the Losses factor and efficiency system in the plant. Renewable energy generators feed active power to the grid as well as support grids with a Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) indicator of <10%. In the design of this hybrid power system, it is done on MATLAB software with installation configuration in accordance with IEEE standards so that it can be a reference for the installation of real-condition renewable energies with grid.

Published: December 2024

A study on the synthesis and characterization of silica gel/chitosan composite derived from tin tailings for removal of Fe(III) in post-tin mining water has been carried out. The silica source used for the synthesis of silica gel is tin tailings. It is produced by the sol-gel method. The characteristics of silica gel from tin tailings sand are white powder with a silica content of 73.58% after compositing with 30 mL and 45 mL chitosan solution, showing that the chitosan phase was successfully formed together with the silica phase. Functional group analysis showed the presence of typical chitosan functional groups (-NH2) at 1629 cm-1 and 1635 cm-1 and typical silica functional groups (-Si-O-Si) at 1000 cm-1 to 1020 cm-1. These functional groups appeared in addition to all variations of the chitosan solution. Morphological analysis shows that in the addition of 45 mL chitosan solution, the silica gel/chitosan composite has a morphology in the form of small round particles with uneven surfaces and more dominant pores.

Curcumin is known to enhance the performance of antioxidant serums, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD). However, curcumin is prone to degradation when exposed to sunlight, necessitating the use of encapsulation technology to protect it from chemical degradation and improve its dispersibility. Biopolymers like chitosan and alginate are commonly used as encapsulation materials. This study aimed to determine the ideal concentrations of chitosan and alginate for curcumin encapsulation and evaluate its antioxidant activity. The optimal formulation was identified using Design Expert software version 13 with a Simplex Lattice Design. Encapsulation was carried out through the ionic gelation method, and the curcumin encapsulates were evaluated for encapsulation efficiency, particle size, zeta potential, and antioxidant activity. The optimal formulation was found to be 1.35% chitosan and 2.145% alginate, achieving an encapsulation efficiency of 71.85%, a particle size of 551.1 nm, a zeta potential of -46 mV, and strong antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 36.32 ppm. In conclusion, the Simplex Lattice Design method successfully optimized the formulation. Chitosan increased particle size, while alginate enhanced encapsulation efficiency. The antioxidant activity was minimally affected by encapsulation, as most curcumin was retained in the droplets. The zeta potential value confirmed the stability of the encapsulate.

KRAS is a GTPase enzyme that regulates cell growth and division. Mutations in KRAS can lead to its permanent activation, resulting in uncontrolled cell growth and cancer progression. Approximately 30–44% of colorectal cancer cases harbor KRAS mutations, with 1–3% involving the KRASG12C variant. Historically considered "undruggable," recent advancements, such as Sotorasib, have demonstrated the potential to target KRASG12C effectively, making it a promising focus for drug discovery. Moringa oleifera, a plant rich in phytochemicals, is a potential source of bioactive compounds with therapeutic applications. In this study, 218 compounds derived from M. oleifera were screened using molecular docking, targeting KRASG12C. Quercetin (3) exhibited the lowest binding affinity (-9.37 kcal/mol) and showed interactions with key residues, including GLN100A, VAL104A, LYS17A, and TYR97A, suggesting a binding mechanism similar to that of Sotorasib as native ligand. The physicochemical analysis further revealed high gastrointestinal absorption, good lipophilicity, and favorable bioavailability scores for Quercetin (3), supporting its potential as a drug candidate. These findings highlight the potential of M. oleifera compounds, particularly quercetin (3), as inhibitors of KRASG12C in colorectal cancer.

Kidney failure is a major global cause of mortality, often resulting from the buildup of uremic toxins like creatinine. Creatinine serves as an indicator for assessing treatment needs in kidney failure patients. Hemoperfusion, a treatment based on the adsorption of toxins, has shown promise when using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as adsorbents. CNCs derived from pineapple leaf fibers offer unique advantages due to their abundance of active sites, high adsorption capacity, and strong binding affinity. This study investigates the efficiency of CNCs in reducing creatinine levels, with the reduction attributed to the binding of creatinine to CNC hydroxyl groups. Characterization of CNCs was performed using PSA, XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDX techniques, while the residual creatinine was quantified via UV-Vis spectrophotometry, utilizing a picric acid complex under alkaline conditions and measured at 485 nm. Optimal conditions were found with a stirring speed of 210 rpm, 120-minute contact time, and 10 mg/L creatinine concentration, resulting in an adsorption capacity (Qads) of 2.572 mg/g. The CNC adsorbent demonstrated hemocompatibility, with an APTT blood coagulation time of 31.3 seconds. These findings suggest that CNCs could be highly effective in developing safer, efficient hemoperfusion systems for managing kidney failure.

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) is a plant that grows naturally in Indonesia and widely used in the food and industrial sectors. Nutmeg seeds have been widely studied because they have a variety of compounds with good activities, but research on the leaves still needs to be completed. Therefore, this research compared nutmeg leaves and seed extracts' secondary metabolite content and bioactivity. This study aims to determine the phytochemical contents of nutmeg leaves and seed extracts by phytochemical screening and GC-MS analysis, as well as its potential as an antioxidant and anticancer. The antioxidant activity test uses the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method measured at a wavelength of 517 nm. Meanwhile, the anticancer activity test uses MCF-7 cells with the MTT assay method. Nine compounds (lipid, phenylpropanoid, lignan, terpenoid, and quinone groups) were identified by GC-MS analysis in the leaf extracts. Meanwhile, seed extract has 23 compounds from the lipid, fatty acid, phenylpropanoid, lignan, and terpenoid groups. The antioxidant activity of nutmeg leaves and seed extracts was carried out using the DPPH method, while the cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cells used the MTT method. Nutmeg leaves have more potent antioxidant activity than nutmeg seeds, with IC50 values of 17.80 µg/mL and 53.01 µg/mL, respectively. The cytotoxic activity test on MCF-7 cells also showed that the inhibition value of nutmeg extract (26%) was higher than that of nutmeg seeds (22.73%). This research shows that nutmeg leaf extract has the potential to carry out further research regarding the bioactivity of its compounds.

İçinde bulunulan yüzyılın çok sesli, demokratik, sosyal ve etkileşimli ortamının bir yansıması olarak sanatta yaşanan değişim ve dönüşümün sonuçlarından biri olan etkileşimli sanat, sanatçılar kadar izleyicilerin de sanat eserinin parçası olmasına imkân vermiştir. Böylece; sanat eserleri, izleyici için alışılagelmiş durağan formundan uzaklaşmış, dinamikleşmiş, temas edilebilen, duyusal ve fiziksel deneyim fırsatına dönüşebilen etkileşimlerin oluşmasını mümkün kılmıştır. Bu çalışmada ilk olarak; geleneksel sanat anlayışı ile etkileşimli sanat kavramının alan yazında farklı şekillerde yorumlandığı vurgulanmaktadır. Değişen sanat anlayışı ve teknolojik gelişmelerden hareketle, bu çalışmanın ana temasının, izleyicinin katılımcı rolüne bürünmesi olduğu ifade edilebilir. İkinci olarak; etkileşimli sanat kavramından ve bu bağlamda yapılmış sanat örneklerinden bahsedilmektedir. Üçüncü olarak ise; seramik malzemeyi etkileşimli sanat eserlerinin öznesi konumuna getiren sanatçılardan Cecil Kemperink ve sanatçının etkileşimli seramik çalışmalarına odaklanılmıştır. Sanatçı, hareketle bütünleşik sesi sunduğu ve hangi yöne gideceğine kendisi karar veren çalışmalarının rastgele ve beklenmedik hallerinin kabulünü arayan etkileşimli seramik çalışmalarının izleyicisinin deneyimlenmesini incelemekte, seramik malzemenin sınırlarını, kurallarını sorgulayan izleyiciyle birlikte değişen hallerini ortaya koyan yeni bir tavra dikkat çekmeye çalışmaktadır. Bu bağlamda; çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmış olup veri toplama yöntemi olarak da “Doküman İncelemesi” kullanılmıştır. Alanda konu ile ilgili herhangi bir çalışma olmadığından Cecile Kemperink’in eserlerinden faydalanılarak oluşturulan bu metnin, literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
