Published: February 2025

This paper examined the demographic and socioeconomic determinants of under-five morbidity and mortality in Gombe State. Child mortality is the probability that a child born in a specific year or period would die before reaching the age of five. Goal 3 of SDG centred on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for children as well as ending preventable deaths of newborns and under-five children by 2030. The objectives of the paper are to: identify the major prevalent under-five diseases; to examine the influence of child’s demographic characteristics on under-five diseases, as well as to examine the influence of child’s mother demographic and socioeconomic determinants on under-five mortality. The paper utilized both quantitative and qualitative data to obtained information from the pool of respondents. Quantitative data such as medical records of under-five children and their mothers were generated while qualitative data was obtained using Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and In-depth interview. A cross sectional Hospital Medical Records of under-five children from 2007- 2016 was utilized. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as tables and charts.  Logistic regression was used for inferential statistics. The result showed that malaria fever accounted for 50% of under-five morbidity and mortality. Also, age of the child and mother’s age significantly influenced under-five morbidity and mortality. The result indicates that children that their mothers are younger are more likely to experience under -five mortality compares to more advance mothers. Likewise, educational qualification of mother was found to be significantly associated with under-five mortality. More efforts should be put in place by government at all levels and NGOs on how to curtail malaria fever. These efforts may include the provision of treated mosquito net, effective sensitization of mothers on proper usage of treated mosquito net, provision of dedicated malaria treatment facilities/units, and provision of affordable/subsidized malaria treatment.

Published: February 2025

Cancer is one of the most formidable challenges in medicine, often constrained by the limitations of conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which may induce severe side effects and lead to drug resistance. The emergence of smart biomaterials offers a revolutionary approach to targeted cancer therapy through precise drug delivery, minimizing systemic toxicity, and enhancing therapeutic outcomes. These biomaterials are engineered to respond to specific internal stimuli such as pH, temperature, or enzymes, and external triggers like light or magnetism provide unparalleled versatility in addressing the complex tumor microenvironment. Recent innovations encompass stimuli-responsive hydrogels, nanoparticle-based systems, and oxygen-releasing scaffolds, which overcome barriers such as tumor hypoxia and multidrug resistance. Nanogels, metal-organic frameworks, and biomolecule-functionalized materials exemplify the potential for multifunctional platforms that combine diagnosis and therapy. Moreover, innovations such as DNA-based nanorobots and AI (artificial intelligence)-driven biomaterial design facilitate highly personalized and adaptive treatments. Despite significant advancements in the past decades, challenges persist in translating these materials from laboratory research to clinical application due to biocompatibility, scalability, and regulatory constraints. This review explores the state-of-the-art advancements in smart biomaterials for cancer treatment, their mechanisms of action, and the potential to transform oncology.
Advancing Nanotechnology in Targeted Cancer Therapy: From Passive Targeting to Smart Delivery Systems
Authors:   Parasitology Department, Theodore Bilharz Research Institute, Cairo, Egypt, Fahmy Azza Moustafa
Published: February 2025

With the help of nanotechnology, cancer treatment can be optimized while still keeping the level of side effects low. This includes recent advances that treat cancer on a molecular level, including mechanisms for targeting the delivery of therapeutic substances and, last, new intelligent delivery systems. Active targeting approaches by surface modification have increased tumor cell ingestion and decreased the required dose for treatment. Yet, enhanced permeability and retention, which is its capital effect, is functional as well, but at a very low impact, as studies show only 0.7% of the injected nanoparticles accumulate in the tumors. FDA-approved nanoformulations using liposomes and polymers exhibit significant clinical benefits owing to their improved pharmacokinetics and less toxicity. Significant obstacles impede market entry, including low production scalability, complex regulatory frameworks, and development costs exceeding $2.5 billion. The existence of biological impediments, notably the blood-brain barrier and intricate tumor microenvironments, exacerbates the challenges of drug administration. The advances in artificial intelligence and smart delivery systems have enhanced the design and efficacy of nanocarriers. Machine learning algorithms can predict the success rate in drug delivery with 92% accuracy when the process is continuously monitored, which enables dynamic treatment adjustment. Along with these, quantum dots and DNA nanostructures represent new technologies offering more targeted and personalized approaches to cancer treatment. However, there are some hurdles in need of overcoming, such as current regulation and manufacturing.

In addition, the importance of the role of pastoral assistants who provide space for church ministers to talk, reflect, and accelerate the recovery process. This study suggests that churches pay more attention to the mental and spiritual health of church ministers through structured and sustainable mentoring programs to maintain the balance of their lives in carrying out ministerial duties.
Media Conglomeration and Worker Commodification: Analyzing the Political Economy of Media Spatialization in Indonesia
Authors: Sunandar Asep , Briandana Rizki
Published: February 2025

The rapid transformation of the media industry, marked by conglomeration and spatialization, raises concerns about the commodification of media workers. This study investigates the practice of media spatialization within PT: Media Nusantara Citra (MNC) and its impact on the commodification of reporters and camera persons. Drawing on Vincent Mosco’s theory of political economy and Foucault’s power relations framework, the study employs a critical case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants and observations, complemented by secondary data. The findings reveal three typologies of spatialization—open, closed, and hidden—and their implications for media workers, including labor, psychological, economic, and capability exploitation. While efficient for the corporation, the integration system has led to excessive workloads, disproportionate wages, and diminished autonomy for media workers. Theoretically, this study enriches the discourse on media political economy by affirming the relevance of spatialization in understanding contemporary media practices and worker commodification. Practically, the findings advocate for strengthening trade unions and regulatory enforcement to safeguard media workers’ rights and promote a more equitable media ecosystem. The study underscores the need for corporate strategies prioritizing employee well-being to mitigate the adverse effects of conglomeration-driven spatialization.
'Rediscovery' of the Type Series of Elseya caelatus berau (Testudines: Chelidae) - Registration and Current Images
Authors: Joseph-Ouni Mehdi , McCord William
Published: February 2025

Elseya caelatus berau was described by Joseph-Ouni & McCord (2023) as a localized chelid snapping turtles subspecies confined to the southern coastal Vogelkop Pensinsula, New Guinea along the freshwater drainages of the northeastern Berau Gulf. Though known for several decades, formal description was eventually hampered by the conclusion that the type series was destroyed during the failure of a preservation system; consequently the taxon was described under article 73.1.4 of the ICZN code permitting the use of digital images in select circumstances. Here we report on the fortunate ‘rediscovery’ of the type series, which have now been accessioned in the Yale Peabody Museum. Considered potentially extinct at the time of description, we remain unaware of any additional specimens since 1994. Museum registration numbers of the holotype and paratype, as well as images of their current condition upon relocation are presented.
Examining Rater Reliability When Using an Analytical Rubric for Oral Presentation Assessments
Authors: Limgomolvilas Sasithorn , Sukserm Patsawut
Published: February 2025

The assessment of English speaking in EFL environments can be inherently subjective and influenced by various factors beyond linguistic ability, including choice of assessment criteria, and even the rubric type. In classroom assessment, the type of rubric recommended for English speaking tasks is the analytical rubric. Driven by three aims, this study analyzes the scores and comments from two raters on 28 video-recorded Thai engineering students’ oral presentations using a detailed analytical rubric that covers content, delivery, and visuals. First, it investigates rater reliability by comparing raters’ scores using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and ANOVA. Second, applying generalizability theory (G-theory), the correlations between the scores are examined to understand the relationships between different assessment dimensions and how they contribute to a comprehensive evaluation of speaking proficiency. Third, a thematic analysis is performed on raters’ comments to gain a deeper understanding of raters’ rationale. The findings suggested that a higher number of raters increases the reliability of the ratings, although diminishing returns are observed above a certain threshold. Also, several key themes emerged in relation to the criteria. The study highlights the crucial role of detailed analytical rubrics and cooperation sessions between raters in improving the reliability of oral EFL assessments.
English Plosive Consonants Produced by Thai Speakers: An Analysis of Voice Onset Time
Authors: Varapongsittikul Thanachporn , Jitwiriyanont Sujinat
Published: February 2025

This study aims to investigate the VOT values of English word-initial plosive consonants produced by young Thai learners to understand current trends in English pronunciation among Thai speakers and its future direction. The study analyzes how phonological mismatches between Thai and English affect the pronunciation of Thai learners, using a speech corpus produced by 49 seventh-grade students. The results reveal recurring patterns of consonant pronunciation, classified into Consistent and Inconsistent groups. While voiced plosives /b/ and /d/ were mostly pronounced with voicing lead, resembling Thai phonetic norms, velar /g/ was frequently substituted with /k/ due to the absence of /g/ in the Thai sound system. However, some participants demonstrated a shift toward more native-like English pronunciation. Voiceless plosives were generally produced with long-lag VOT, aligning with both Thai and English norms, although some inconsistencies in aspiration were noted. The findings highlight the dynamic shift of English pronunciation among young Thai speakers. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of English spoken by Thais and facilitates instructors in designing targeted pronunciation tasks.
A True Longitudinal Corpus Study of the Lexical Competence of L2 English Major Students: Determining the Effectiveness of the Writing Track

Published: February 2025

This true longitudinal study explored the lexical development of L2 university English major students in Thailand using two learner corpora. This study analyzed the natural learners’ English language writing assignments from two writing courses and tracked their lexical development over a relatively long period (three years with five batches of students). The data included four academic writing assignments for the first learner corpus and a research project for the second corpus. The two corpora comprised 619 pieces of writing with 462,842 tokens in total. The results from the VocabProfile program show that the students used academic words at a high level in their research project, revealing that they tended to develop their lexical competence after being exposed to more advanced English reading sources. The findings also suggest the effectiveness of the course management of the B.A. Program in English, which helps students improve their lexical competence to achieve the requirements for high-quality journals.
The Impact of ChatGPT on Academic Writing Skills and Knowledge: An Investigation of Its Use in Argumentative Essays
Authors: Khampusaen Dararat
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the impact of ChatGPT on EFL students' argumentative writing development of 30 third-year English majors. The research examines writing quality improvements, student perceptions, and patterns of AI tool usage across a 16-week period. This study employed a mixed-methods design to investigate both students' writing development and their perceptions of AI integration. Writing development was assessed through comparative analysis of participants' first and fifth drafts as pre-test and post-test assessments, while perceptions data were collected through a validated 17-item questionnaire (Cronbach's α = 0.89) focusing on confidence and concerns in AI-assisted writing. Essays were evaluated using an adapted AIAS framework focusing on six dimensions: content, organization, language use, critical thinking, AI integration, and academic integrity. The quantitative analysis revealed significant enhancements in writing performance, with the most substantial improvements in academic integrity (+3.0 points. Furthermore, the thematic analysis of the draft comparisons demonstrated marked progression in argument construction, evidence integration, and academic voice. This research provides insights for developing pedagogical frameworks that optimize AI integration while fostering independent writing competencies.
