In silico elucidation of protein-protein interaction network in fish pathogen Flavobacterium Columnare
Authors: Nematiasgarabad Pershia , Hashim Nikman Adli Nor , Yahya Mohd Fakharul Zaman Raja
Published: October 2024

Flavobacterium columnare is a virulent intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes an infection known as columnaris in many species of fish. Some economically important fish species are strongly affected by columnaris, leading to a high mortality rate and significant economic losses. Previous in silico studies have provided various biological insights into F. columnare, including its interaction with MHC class I alleles and the epitopic region within outer membrane proteins. However, the protein-protein interaction networks underlying the growth, defense, and pathogenesis of F. columnare remain largely unknown. This study was conducted to identify the protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and hub proteins of F. columnare that can be used as drug or vaccine targets. A total of 500 protein sequences were retrieved from UniprotKB in FASTA format and analyzed using VaxiJen, PSORTb, STRING, Cytoscape, and BLASTp programs. The results demonstrated that 60% of F. columnare proteins were predicted as antigenic proteins, most of which were associated with catalytic activity and metabolic processes, identified as cytoplasmic proteins. Ten hub proteins with the highest number of functional interactions were identified, which were also antigenic and non-host homologous. In conclusion, F. columnare hub proteins represent potential therapeutic targets in drug and vaccine development against columnaris infection.

Published: October 2024

Around 3.6% of the 11 million people incarcerated worldwide suffer from psychotic disorders, representing a prevalence four times higher compared to the general population. This phenomenon is linked to high rates of suicide among inmates, an increased risk of premature death after release, and a heightened likelihood of reoffending. In response to this reality, Spanish Penitentiary Institutions initiated a program in 2009 aimed at the comprehensive care of inmates with Severe Mental Disorders. The objective of this pilot study is to explore how anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders can affect inmates in two prisons in Lugo, gathering initial data to better understand the mental health challenges facing this population. The results revealed significant differences in the variables of anxiety, depression, and experiences of abuse, highlighting the importance of considering these factors in mental health care within the prison environment. These findings lay the groundwork for future research and advocate for more effective policies and programs to ensure adequate care in prisons.

Before starting the treatment, the grading was done on the basis of subjective criteria and after treatment, the grade was reduced. There was no side effect observed during and after the treatment. Therapy gives significant relief in symptoms of Aamvata.
Just How Profitable Is Illicit Tobacco in Australia?
Authors: Preece Rob
Published: October 2024

In the past 12 months, the southern Australian state of Victoria has been in the midst of what may be a ‘turf war’ between rival organised crime groups for the control of the sale of illicit tobacco products. While organised crime has been more traditionally associated with the distribution and sale of narcotic drugs, illegal gaming venues, prostitution services or human trafficking, recent events might suggest that distribution of untaxed tobacco is now another source of income for criminal gangs. This paper does not look to connect organised crime with illicit tobacco but rather looks at the extent of potential profits to be made from sourcing and distributing tobacco products on which the appropriate federal duties and taxes have not been paid, and whether this could be a possible ‘driver’ in attracting organised crime to the product. Using publicly available data, this paper will propose a methodology and use that methodology to gauge the potential profitability in relation to a container of imported illicit cigarettes.

The issue of low learning outcomes in Catholic Religion for seventh-grade students is attributed to the educators' tendency to use conservative teaching methods, specifically lectures. This is evidenced by the learning results of students in Catholic Religious Education at SMP Negeri 3 Pancur Batu, where only 2 out of 7 students achieved the minimum passing criteria (KKM) set by the school, which is 75. To improve learning outcomes, the researcher implemented a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model supported by audiovisual media. The study was conducted at SMPN 3 Pancur Batu. The findings indicate that the use of the PBL model can enhance students' learning outcomes. This is demonstrated by the improvement in learning results from Cycle 1 to Cycle 2, with qualitative data showing that 14.3% of students were categorized as Developing as expected and 85.7% as Very Developing. In terms of cognitive aspects, 85.7% were classified as Proficient and 57.1% as Skilled. The conclusion of the study is that the implementation of the PBL model with audiovisual media in teaching can improve the learning outcomes of seventh-grade Catholic Religion education.

Increasing Employee Commitment: 25 Strategies
Authors: Hills Laura
Published: October 2024

Employee commitment is pivotal to the success of healthcare organizations, influencing trust, loyalty, and productivity. High levels of commitment among employees foster a positive work environment where individuals willingly contribute their time, energy, and talents. Conversely, low commitment leads to cynicism and disengagement. Commitment comprises behavioral, emotional, and rational components and is often driven by reciprocal investments between employees and employers. To assess and enhance employee commitment, healthcare leaders can use a variety of strategies, including clear communication, values-based hiring, career planning, and leadership practices that emphasize care, ownership, security, and accountability. Ultimately, committed leadership is essential for fostering a culture of commitment within the organization.

Authors: Natanov Daniella , Tringali Samuel , Muratori Jonathan , Shain Spencer , Saggio Gregory , Tower Amelia , Gray Paul
Published: October 2024

Mounting evidence suggests physicians struggle with the increasing corporatization of healthcare. Currently, most medical programs offer only an MBA program for students interested in business of medicine principles, resulting in more debt or independent information search. A brief survey of a sampling of U.S. first-through fourth-year medical students (MD/DO) revealed that 90% indicated having either “no,” “minimal,” or “basic” perceived knowledge in the field of the business of medicine; 21.5% of students indicated they were “somewhat likely” or “very likely” to pursue an MBA. Furthermore, 58.2% of respondents indicated they were “very likely” or “somewhat likely” to take a business and medicine course during medical school if offered. Despite the limitations of the study, the results indicate that medical students would be interested in a dedicated business and medicine course and believe it necessary to learn the basic principles of business.

The researchers are interested in studying nanoparticulates as a result of their specific Physical, Chemical and Biological traits. These nanoparticulates are additionally applicable to a wide array of industries, which includes solar cell coatings, transparent sunscreen, self-cleaning windows and scratch-resistant eyewear. Nanoparticulates have significant properties at nano scale because of high surface to volume ratio. The advanced properties of these nanoparticulates increase the interest of today’s researchers and scientist. The metal oxide nanoparticulates of MgO have enhanced properties in the field of industries, defense and medical world. Metal oxide nanoparticulates like MgO and MnO2 are currently the subject of substantial research because of their well-known antibacterial activity against several kinds of bacteria and their advanced uses in the field of storage for hydrogen gas. In the current work, pure MgO and Mn (10%) doped MgO nanoparticulates were prepared via a microwave irradiated chemical co precipitation process . The samples were further calcined at 200o , 400o , 600o and 800o Celsius for two hours constant heating. XRD, FTIR, FESEM, and VSM examinations have been conducted on the calcined materials. The XRD results revels that nanoparticulates were formed with FCC crystal structures and no phase transformation occurred with addition of Mn dopant concentration in MgO. However, the presence of Mn2+ ion in place of Mg2+ ion were recognized via broadening of peak resulted by micro strain lattice. The grain size of nanoparticulates were calculated by use of Debye Scherer estimation and crystalline size 29.47nm, 27.68nm, 36.80nm and 46.14 nm pattern shows that crystallite size increases with increase in calcinations temperature. The IR sharp peaks inspected at 409cm-1 (pure MgO/800OC), 395cm-1 (pure MgO/600oC), 402cm-1 (pure MgO/400oC) and 409cm-1 (pure MgO/200oC) respectively and for Mn doped MgO nanoparticulates sharp peaks inspected at 450 cm-1 (Mn10%/600OC),400cm1 (Mn20%/600oC) respectively and were attributed by O-Mn-O molecule vibration were confirmed the XRD analyses that is Mn2+ ion exist at Mg2+ lattice site. The electron microscopic image of sample shows that cauliflower leaf like structure was seen with size nanometer in scale. The VSM characteristic of sample concluded that saturation magnetization gradually decreases with increase of calcinations temperature and all substances were ferromagnetic in behavior. The materials have recommended property in applications as electromagnet formation.

Complex “simple nervous systems”
Authors: Afanasyeva D. Yu. , Balaban P. M.
Published: October 2024

Terrestrial gastropods have evolved new structures in the nervous system compared to marine and aquatic snails in order to adapt to their new habitat. The behavior of these animals is qualitatively different from the behavior of aquatic gastropods, includes not only the possibility of active interaction with other animals, but also the demonstration of interest by active approach, avoidance or escape in certain cases. The “arrow of love” used in copulation is unique to Nature. Almost all types of associative memory can be formed in these animals, consolidation and reconsolidation of memory can be demonstrated, and mechanisms of memory maintenance and modification can be analyzed. At the level of functionally identified neurons and neural clusters, it is possible to study associative processes in vitro, a 3-neural model of associative longterm changes in synaptic efficiency has been developed.

The behavioral and functional states preceding the onset specific parkinsonian symptoms were studied at an early (pre-symptomatic) stage of hemi-parkinsonian syndrome development in rodents and monkeys. The pre-symptomatic stage of the hemi-parkinsonian syndrome was determined in rodents (mice and rats) treated by chronic administration of low doses of rotenone toxin. The consecutive steps of neuropathological traits development in rodents included the cognitive impairment at the 1st-2nd week of exposure to rotenone, minor movement disorders at the 3st-4nd week before the onset of severe motor dysfunction as well as some biochemical indicators. The latencies and amplitudes of visually guided saccades (VGS) while conditioned instrumental task performing were studied in nonhuman primates (Macaca mulatta) chronically treated with low doses of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). The elongation of VGS latencies and the decline of their accuracy were revealed with development of MPTP-induces syndrome but conditioned instrumental performance was not affected. The negative behavioral effects manifested in animals at the pre-symptomatic stage of toxins induced disease both in the rotenone model in rodents and in MPTP model in monkeys suggesting them as early markers of a hemi-parkinsonian syndrome.

An International Community Paramedic Career Structure
Authors: O'Meara Peter , Wingrove Gary , Ahlers Mary
Published: October 2024

Introduction  - Internationally, prehospital workers practice in a wide range of community paramedicine roles. It can be unclear where community paramedics fit within existing paramedicine career structures and their professional capabilities are sometimes ill-defined or misunderstood. This study aimed to clarify some of these questions through the development of a community paramedic career structure and descriptions of their professional capabilities at different levels of practice.
Methods - The career structure was developed on the premise that paramedicine is an evolving autonomous health discipline. It was designed through the synthesis of the paramedicine literature, key regulatory frameworks, and advice from two panels of international community paramedicine experts. These purposively recruited panellists comprised practicing community paramedics, students and educators, professional leaders, and subject matter experts. Thematic analysis was undertaken of their open-text on-line questionnaire responses. After feedback from the first panel a paramedic system modernization continuum was used to fashion community paramedic career structures to meet the needs of paramedic systems at different stages of development. These structures were tested with members of the second panel.
Findings - A five-step career structure was designed and conceptually separated into two distinct but related pathways to facilitate international comparability across paramedic systems in terms of professional autonomy and levels of education. Structural and cultural characteristics are represented through professional capability statements and indicative education levels that are incorporated into a paramedic system continuum ranging from directive to professionally autonomous paramedic systems.
Discussion - Although this study was conducted through the lens of community paramedicine, it might further international discussion of how attractive career structures could improve paramedic retention more broadly. Successful implementation of this career structure requires the support of key stakeholders in the face of strong structural and cultural barriers that continue to challenge innovations designed to respond to changing opportunities and needs in paramedicine.
AUTOPERCEPÇÃO E IMPACTOS DA SAÚDE BUCAL DE ADOLESCENTES EM UMA ESCOLA PÚBLICA DE PORTO VELHO
Authors: Pires Débora Mourão , Modesto Gabriele Cortez , Batista Caren Cristine da Silva
Published: October 2024

A autopercepção em saúde abrange a compreensão que o indivíduo possui sobre o seu estado de saúde, englobando elementos subjetivos relacionados ao seu bem-estar. Refere-se à maneira pela qual o sujeito compreende suas próprias atitudes e crenças com base em seu comportamento em determinadas situações, mediadas pelos diversos aspectos de sua saúde física, cognição e capacidade funcional. Esse discernimento baseia-se no conhecimento dessa pessoa sobre o processo saúde-doença, que se encontra interligado às suas experiências anteriores e pelo contexto social, cultural e histórico em que está inserido. Além disso, comportamentos pouco saudáveis e a exposição a fatores de risco para problemas bucais como uma dieta inadequada e baixa frequência de higiene bucal são frequentes na adolescência. Dessa forma, apesar dos avanços científicos na prevenção e no tratamento de problemas bucais e nas políticas públicas nessa área, os adolescentes ainda apresentam uma alta necessidade de tratamento odontológico. No entanto, muitas vezes, os jovens não cuidam adequadamente da boca, desconsiderando aspectos que, efetivamente, estão vinculados à promoção da saúde. A promoção da saúde , segundo a carta de Ottawa , foi definida como um “processo de capacitação dos indivíduos a fim de aumentar seu controle sobre sua saúde para melhorá-la”. O Ministério da Saúde considera que a escola representa um ambiente educacional e social propício para se trabalhar conhecimentos e mudanças de comportamento. A Organização Mundial de Saúde preconiza ainda a formação de adolescentes multiplicadores, visando promover a qualidade de vida e a saúde integral do adolescente. Atualmente, no Brasil, a promoção da saúde é considerada um compromisso constitucional do Sistema Único de Saúde , que busca reduzir as desigualdades em saúde e garantir que a população possa controlar seu próprio processo de saúde e qualidade de vida. Segundo Barros, a educação para a promoção da saúde significa formar pessoas para atuarem como agentes de transmutação.

Virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged in response to recent developments in the 3-dimensional (3D) world. VR enables people to engage in various metaverse world experiences in a more immersive way. Immersive learning is a learning method that uses 3D digital technology to facilitate the learning process by visualization in the classroom. This research used a case study of the Interior Design II studio course taken by level-2 students of the Department of Interior Design, School of Creative Industries, Telkom University, Indonesia. The Interior Design II course requires students to design the interior of a residence with a minimum area of 100 m2. The method of paired sample test analysis was used to assess student’s preferences for pre-test and post-test statements from the VR intervention method in assessing student’s sense of place in the final design of the course. The results showed significant differences in student preferences during the pre-test (481.3% and 790.6%), which increased during the post-test (641.7% and 801%). The paired sample t-test analysis results also showed a Sig (2-tailed) number of 0.000 < 0.05, so there is a significant relationship between the pre-test and post-test intervention.

Data clustering is a data mining approach that assigns similar data to the same group. Traditionally, cluster similarity considers all attributes equally, but in real-world applications, some attributes may be more important than others. Therefore, this study proposes an algorithm that utilizes multivariate fuzzy weighting to demonstrate the varying importance of each attribute, using a Gini impurity measure for weight assignment. Additionally, the proposed algorithm implements probabilistic distance to reduce sensitivity to noise. Probabilistic distance offers more detailed information and better interpretation than Hamming distance, which ignores attribute positions. Probabilistic distance utilizes information about the attribute’s position within and between clusters. This enhances clustering performance by creating clusters with more similar attributes. Therefore, the proposed Multivariate Fuzzy Weighted K-Modes with Probabilistic Distance for Categorical Data (MFWKM-PD) algorithm, based on the multivariate fuzzy K-modes algorithm, not only considers detailed membership calculations but also considers the varying contributions of attributes and their positions in distance calculation. This study evaluated the proposed MFWKM-PD using several benchmark datasets. The experiments validated that the proposed MFWKM-PD shows promising results compared to other algorithms in terms of accuracy, NMI, and ARI.

Due to their similar appearance, skin disorders frequently disguise their early warning signs from our skin, which is the defense system of the body. Preventing serious disorders requires their early detection. This work investigated the use of fine-tune transfer learning as a fast and accurate way to diagnose skin diseases. To classify different skin issues, we used pre-trained models, i.e., InceptionV3, DenseNet201, and Xception. This work examined 17,500 photos from three sources. It was found that fine-tune Xception performed exceptionally well, with an accuracy rate of 99.14%. It was closely followed by DenseNet201 and InceptionV3, each with different processing speeds, 98.74% and 98.46%, respectively. We used transfer learning with data sets validated by medical experts, outperforming earlier research in precision. This more accurate detection of skin diseases could greatly improve patient outcomes and expedite medical procedures. This approach is new in that it fine-tunes transfer learning by utilizing a vast number of data to increase accuracy compared to other researcher works.

We present the HistCorp collection, a freely available open platform aiming at the distribution of a wide range of historical corpora and other useful resources and tools for researchers and scholars interested in the study of historical texts. The platform contains a monitoring corpus of historical texts from various time periods and genres for 14 European languages. The collection is taken from well-documented historical corpora, and distributed in a uniform, standardised format. The texts are downloadable as plaintext, and in a tokenised format. Furthermore, a subset of the corpus contains information on the modern spelling variant,and some of the texts are also annotated with part-of-speech and syntactic structure. In addition, preconfigured n-gram language models and spelling normalisation tools are provided to allow the study of historical languages.
Kur'ân'da Hz. Peygambere Verilen ‘‘İtaat/İttiba Etme’’ Emirlerinin Karakter Eğitimi Açısından Önemi
Authors: Sümer İdris Sami
Published: October 2024

Yaratılış itibari ile farklı ve zıt duyguları bünyesinde taşıyan insan, Yüce Allah tarafından kendisine dünya hayatında lazım olan bütün duygular ile donatılmıştır. İnsandaki her duygu, hayattaki olgulara karşılık gelmekte ve insan yapı taşına yerleştirilen bu duyguların refleksleri ile hayatını idame ettirmektedir. İnsandaki yapısal duygulardan birisi de itaat ve isyan hissidir. Her konuda insana rehberlik yapan ilahi bilgi (vahiy), itaat ve isyan olgusunun doğru inşa edilmesinde ve yerinde kullanılmasında da rehberlik yapmıştır. Bu bağlamda insanın itaat etmesi ve uyum sağlaması gereken şeyler bildirildiği gibi karşı çıkması, kabul etmemesi ve reddetmesi gereken şeyler de bildirilmiştir. İnsanlar için en güzel örnek olan Allah elçileri itaat ve isyan bilincinin doğru inşa edilmesinde de örneklik yapmış kimselerdir. Çünkü onlar Allah’tan aldıkları vahyin öğretisine herkesten daha fazla uyan ve karakterleri ilahi bilgiyle inşa edilen kimselerdir. Son peygamber Hz. Muhammed de kendisine inzal edilen vahyin rehberliğine uymuştur. Çünkü ona bu emredilmiştir. Kur’ân’ı-Kerîm’de Hz. Peygamberin şahsına dönük bazı özel emirler olduğu gibi onun şahsında tüm insanlara emredilen eğitici dini, hukuki ve ahlaki ilkeler vardır. Bu ahlaki ilkelerden birisi de ‘‘kötü olana teslim olmamak ve itaat etmemek’’ prensibidir. Bu prensip ilk inen surelerden itibaren gelişen olayların paralelinde Hz. Peygambere verilmiş, hatırlatılmış ve ilahi yönden bu bağlamda zaman zaman ciddi uyarılar da almıştır. Bu çalışmada Hz. Peygambere ve onun şahsında tüm inananlara verilen ‘‘itaat/ittiba etme’’ emirleri inceleme konusu yapılmıştır. Zira iyi insan körü körüne her şeye karşı çıkan kimse olmadığı gibi her şeye boyun eğen insan da değildir.

Published: October 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is giving an additional boost to the already rapid pace of technological progress. The rapid development of new technologies has an impact on machine safety and changes jobs. With a series of laws, directives and regulations, the EU is trying to get a grip on negative developments and use new technologies in a humane way. At the same time, industry is being called upon to acquire additional expertise in new areas of digitalisation. Established institutions around the world are working on developing new standards to facilitate the implementation of regulations. The new EU Machinery Regulation covers digitalisation and defines the use of AI or machine learning. Generative AI (GenAI) is driving prompt engineering and this technology is finding its way into machine development and other production processes. One challenge that remains is how to provide proof of safety for AI in automation technology and especially for autonomous systems.

The identification and optimization of pathogenic strains of Pseudomonas sp. with significant Cholinesterase enzyme activity has promising implications for environmental and medical applications. This study aimed to screen various Pseudomonas strains to identify those exhibiting high cholinesterase activity and to optimize the conditions for maximal enzyme production. Multiple Pseudomonas strains were isolated and characterized from diverse clinical samples, employing selective media and biochemical assays to determine cholinesterase activity. The strains with maximum enzyme activity were further subjected to optimization experiments, including variations in growth conditions such as Temperature, pH and Nutrient availability. The findings revealed sample no.39 among the collected 50 samples had significant enzyme activity of 0.19151 IU is obtained when choline chloride was 0.3999%, Ammonium Chloride was 0.01M, pH was 7.0, Temperature was 27°C and Time of incubation was 24hrs. These results not only advance our understanding of Pseudomonas sp. enzyme capabilities but also offer potential applications in bioremediation, biosensor development and pharmaceutical industries. Future research will focus on the molecular characterization of the cholinesterase enzyme and its applications in various industrial processes.

Geçmiş çağlardan günümüze kadar suyun insan hayatı için önemi göz ardı edilemeyecek kadar büyüktür. Geçmişte en ilkel yaşam seviyesinde iken koloniler su kaynağına yakın yerlerde konumlanarak; beslenme, temizlik vb. ihtiyaçlarını karşılamayı hedeflemişlerdir. Tarihte kurulan ilk kentler su kenarına ya da suya ulaşımın en kolay olacağı noktaya kurulmuştur. Antik çağlarda suyun işlevsel kullanımının yanı sıra estetik kullanımı da fark edilmiştir. Bunun sonucu olarak kent meydanlarına havuzlar, çeşmeler ve su kanalları yapılmıştır. Kent hayatının gelişmesiyle su kullanım miktarı artmıştır. Su tükenebilen bir kaynaktır ve günümüzde birçok ülke bu sorunla karşılaşmıştır.

Bu çalışmanın ana amacı; kamusal dış mekanlarda kullanılan su ögelerinin derinlik değişkenleri üzerinde, ekolojik, ekonomik, işlevsel, güvenlik ve estetik kriterler üzerinden bir değerlendirme yapılarak halihazır durum tespitinin yapılması ve çeşitli kullanımlar için uygun derinlik önerilerinin geliştirilebilmesidir. Bu amaçla konu ile ilgili literatür taramaları yapılmış, uzman kişiler ile görüşülmüş, Antalya kentinde halihazırda bulunan su ögeleri için arazi çalışmaları yapılmıştır.

Sonuç olarak su ögesi tasarımlarında minimum olarak 15 cm derinlik değerinin kullanılması uygundur, bunula beraber su ögesi tasarımında kullanım amacına uygun olarak farklı derinliklerin kullanılabileceği ortaya konulmuş ve bu derinlik değerine ilişkin bir algoritma geliştirilmiştir.
