Authors: Patel Riddhisiddhi  , Mahesh Chhabaria
Published: August 2024

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance necessitates the development of novel antibacterial agents. This study focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial evaluation of a series of N3, N5-di(substituted)isoxazole-3,5-diamine derivatives (178a-f) as potential antibacterial agents. The compounds were synthesized using a two-step process involving the formation of N1, N3-di(substituted)malonamide intermediates followed by cyclization with hydroxylamine hydrochloride under microwave irradiation. All synthesized compounds were thoroughly characterized using spectroscopic techniques including IR, 1H-NMR, and mass spectrometry to confirm their structural integrity. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated using the Mueller Hinton broth turbidometric method against both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli MTCC 443) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 96) bacterial strains. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for each compound and compared with the standard drug cloxacillin. Among the synthesized derivatives, compounds 178d, 178e, and 178f exhibited the most potent antibacterial activity. Against E. coli, these compounds showed MIC values of 117 μg/mL, 110 μg/mL, and 95 μg/mL, respectively, surpassing the activity of cloxacillin (MIC 120 μg/mL). Similarly, against S. aureus, compounds 178d and 178e demonstrated superior activity with MIC values of 100 μg/mL and 95 μg/mL, respectively, compared to cloxacillin (MIC 100 μg/mL). Structure-activity relationship analysis revealed that the presence of electron-withdrawing groups (F, Cl) and para-substitution on the phenyl rings generally enhanced antibacterial activity. In conclusion, this study presents a series of novel N3, N5-di(substituted)isoxazole-3,5-diamine derivatives with promising antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria

Published: August 2024

Schizophrenia remains challenging to fully comprehend due to insufficient attention to its characteristic overall pattern, or "Gestalt," which defines its psychopathological structure. Schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric condition influenced by diverse genetic and neurobiological factors impacting early brain development. It manifests through psychotic symptoms including hallucinations, delusions, disorganization, and cognitive impairments. Although gross brain pathology is absent, subtle pathological changes occur in specific neural cell populations and their communication. Neuroimaging reveals functional abnormalities in information processing among both first-episode and chronic patients. While pharmacological treatments can alleviate psychotic symptoms, they often do not significantly enhance social, cognitive, or occupational functioning. Psychosocial interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, cognitive remediation, and supported education and employment programs offer value but are inconsistently applied. Early identification and preventive strategies are crucial due to the disorder's early onset and varying prevalence influenced by urbanization and immigration patterns. This article argues that disorders of selfhood are pivotal in shaping this Gestalt. Initially, it provides a phenomenological exploration of the self, followed by an examination of common complaints in schizophrenia that reflect disturbances in self-perception, often tracing back to childhood experiences. The characteristic features of schizophrenic psychosis, such as "double bookkeeping," hallucinations, and delusions, are then discussed in relation to their association with instability in self-representation. The article briefly recounts an encounter with a schizophrenia patient, highlighting the diagnostic significance of self-disorders
A Comprehensive Review on the Nanotechnology-based Intranasal Drug Delivery Systems for Brain Targeting
Authors: Ashok Simhadri  , Mounika Devi Dommeti  , Jupiter Sana
Published: August 2024

Intranasal drug delivery has emerged as a promising non-invasive route for targeting the central nervous system, bypassing the blood-brain barrier and minimizing systemic side effects. Recent advancements in nanotechnology-based intranasal delivery systems have shown potential to enhance drug bioavailability, improve brain targeting, and overcome limitations associated with conventional delivery methods. Various nanocarrier systems, including liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, and dendrimers, possess unique properties applicable to nose-to-brain drug delivery. The anatomical and physiological considerations of the nasal cavity, particularly the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways, provide direct routes to the brain. Biocorona formation on nanoparticles significantly impacts drug pharmacokinetics and distribution. Different nanocarrier systems offer distinct advantages and limitations, particularly in enhancing drug solubility, mucoadhesion, and cellular uptake. Stimuli-responsive and targeted nanocarriers have shown promise for improved spatiotemporal control of drug release. However, challenges remain in translating these nanotechnology-based approaches from bench to bedside, including toxicity concerns, scalability, and regulatory considerations. The current state of nanotechnology in intranasal drug delivery presents exciting opportunities for advancing CNS therapeutics through this innovative route
INTEGRATIVE EDUCATIONAL EXERCISES IN PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS AS A MAIN TOOL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN'S SPEECH
Authors: Məmmədova Yeganə
Published: August 2024

Mother tongue teaching is a matter of great pedagogical importance in preschool educational institutions. The role of mother tongue teaching in the general education system is extremely important in determining the level of thinking of children and ensuring its development path. In mother tongue classes, children exchange ideas based on their knowledge, look for appropriate words to express their ideas correctly, clearly, and fluently, and try to use the words they find in their active vocabulary. Integrative exercises are the best technology for developing the speech of preschool children. This means that children are not passive in the learning process, but actively interact with concrete materials and people around them. Training based on active learning methods differs from traditional training. These exercises allow children to act freely, and at this time they have the opportunity to demonstrate all their knowledge, skills and talents.

Pneumomediastinum, characterized by the presence of air in the mediastinum, is rare in newborns, especially in the spontaneous form, when it is not associated with assisted ventilation procedures or other pulmonary impairments. The diagnosis is not always obvious and immediate, which is why, in most cases, additional imaging tests are required for confirmation. Early identification of the lesion and appropriate treatment are essential, as the undue presence of air can compromise lung structures and, in the case of neonates, pneumomediastinum is associated with loculation. With the aim of elucidating the topic, the case of a full-term male newborn, born by Cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation, was reported. Son of a healthy 26-year-old mother, the newborn's vital signs were normal and anthropometry was considered adequate. With one day of life, signs of respiratory distress were recorded, with a drop in oxygen saturation and moderate subcostal insufficiency. Chest x-rays and computed tomography were performed. Imaging examinations revealed slightly triangular hyper transparency resulting from the removal of the thymus gland by a collection of repressed air, which is known as “Spinnaker sign”, or “boat sail sign”, or even “angel wing sign”, being the main radiographic feature of pneumomediastinum. The pneumomediastinum of the patient in question proved to be too voluminous, therefore, it was decided to perform mediastinal drainage. No complications were recorded after the intervention, with the newborn's satisfactory and progressive clinical evolution.

Authors: Pratiwi Siswantari , Patmawanti Besse
Published: August 2024

This research delves into using Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance cameras as electronic evidence in criminal proceedings in Indonesia, specifically focusing on Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 regarding Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE). The continuously advancing field of information technology, including CCTV technology, now assumes a significant role within the realm of criminal justice, particularly in detecting criminal activities. Nevertheless, a contentious issue persists surrounding the admissibility of CCTV footage as evidence in court proceedings due to the absence of explicit regulations within the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) about electronic evidence. This investigation scrutinizes the legal validity of CCTV recordings as evidence, shedding light on various instances where such recordings have served as crucial evidence in criminal trials. Employing a normative legal framework, this study also evaluates the repercussions of acknowledging CCTV recordings as admissible evidence within the framework of the Indonesian criminal justice system. This study's outcomes aim to offer theoretical insights and practical contributions to the advancement of criminal law, particularly regarding evidentiary matters and the utilization of electronic evidence within Indonesia.
China- India Border Crisis: Causes and Implications 1962-2023
Authors: AGUBAMAH EDGAR
Published: August 2024

For more than seventy years, the Sino-Indo border crisis has become an endless imbroglio with no settlement in sight. Relations between the two Asian giants have soured over the last decade, particularly following a 2020 boundary skirmish between Indian and Chinese soldiers in the Galwan area. The issue of a disputed border emerged in the early 1950s when the People’s Republic of China affected her capture of Tibet. This act created for China and India one of the lengthiest undefined boundaries in the globe. The China-India border stretches for approximately 3,488 kilometers (2,167 miles) across the Himalayan mountain range, separating the two countries. The main areas of contention are the western sector (Aksai Chin region administered by China but claimed by India) and the eastern sector (Arunachal Pradesh region administered by India but claimed by China). This dispute has led to several military standoffs and border skirmishes between the two countries over the years. The intricate and protractedness of this border conflict made this work try to find out the causes and implications of this crisis to the Asian region and the world generally. To do this effectively, we employ secondary sources where data was collected from textbooks, diplomatic records, academic literature, newspapers, journals, magazines, and internet materials. The data collected was analyzed through documentary evidence while the contested border and territorial nationalism theory were used as the analytical tool. The work discovered that factors like unresolved border issues, historical crises, strategic concerns, ideological biases, failed diplomatic negotiations, military considerations, the Tibetan refugees crisis, Cold War dynamics, and limited communications were some of the issues that led to the border crisis between the two Asian giants. Furthermore, the work found out that the implications engendered by the China-India border crisis are severe and expansive like heavy militarization of the China-Indian border, strategic instability in Asia, India’s more assertive foreign policy, China’s global image damage, policy implications, and arms race between the two Asian giants. The work concluded that China and India should strive for a harmonious and sustainable joint boundary commission that will map and mark their boundaries as this option if meticulously and strictly followed will tremendously benefit both and all.
Comparing the Effectiveness of Grammar Translation Method and Unit-Shift on Translation-accuracy of Students at Intermediate Level in EFL Contexts
Authors: Hassan Saqlain , Anjum Jamshaid
Published: August 2024

Translating a Source Text into a Target Language becomes inevitable in the EFL context. Though the complete equivalence of the Source Text into the Target Language is not yet possible, the translation accuracy reduces the loss of the equivalence gap between the Source Text and the Target Language. The current study aims to explain the effectiveness of two translation methods i.e., Grammar Translation Method and Unit-shift in translation accuracy of the students at intermediate level in the EFL contexts. The data for this study is collected through a field survey and teaching in the actual classroom and post-tests. This is a mixed-method study using quantitative data to support the qualitative analysis. The analysis of the data was conducted using the Quantitative Content Analysis theory by Bernard (1952) and Translation Shifts by Catford (1965). The findings of the study have revealed that unit shifts have helped increase the translation accuracy of the students at an intermediate level in the EFL contexts by 11.82% as compared to the Grammar Translation Method. This study helps find the effectiveness of unit shifts in solving the problems faced by intermediate students during the process of translation.

Authors: Ada OCHI Hele , ADEGBOYEGA Kamorudeen
Published: August 2024

Inappropriate use of substances, also known as substance abuse, especially among youths constitutes a problem globally. The trajectory of substance abuse exposes individuals to various health problems and disorders. To this end, the provision of treatment services is considered an important measure towards addressing the side effects of the inappropriate use of substances. Focusing on Kaduna State, Nigeria, this study analyzes public and private facilities available for individuals facing substance use disorders. The study employed quantitative and qualitative data collection methods, with the administration of questionnaires and in-depth interview guides to respondents and research participants in selected treatment facilities. Copies of questionnaires were administered to eighty-six staff while in-depth interviews were conducted on eight (8) staff of the selected treatment facilities. The study leverages Talcott Parson’s social system theory to explain the subject matter. Findings from the study revealed that the selected facilities provided evidence-based psychosocial treatment services to the victims of substance abuse. In addition to other medical services provided by public and private treatment facilities, findings revealed that public facilities provided HIV/AIDs services than private facilities. Unlike private treatment facilities, the study discovered that wraparound services (such as vocational training) are minimally provided by public facilities. Despite the importance of supportive services towards optimal rehabilitation of victims of substance abuse, the study revealed that both public and private facilities neglect such services. The study therefore recommends strong collaboration among the existing treatment facilities towards the provision of optimal skills and rehabilitation of victims of substance abuse and its associated disorders.
The Description of Nature in the Works of the Travel Genre: The Case of Karakalpak Writers
Authors: Rano Kuanishbaevna Mambetnazarova
Published: August 2024

The subject of research in this work is the genre of travel in Karakalpak Literature. It analyzes the works of the travel genre of individual Karakalpak writers who have visited abroad in various years. The research material was the poetic collection of the national poet of Karakalpakstan, Hero of Uzbekistan Ibrayim Yusupov Evenings of Distant Malaysia, Caucasus, and travel notes of the Karakalpak writer and scientist Kamal Mambetov Travel, which includes several sections: Travel to India, Hello, Sri Lanka, Shores of the Black Sea of the Caucasus, In the Native Nogai Region, and The ancestral homeland Turkestan. The travel diaries of Karakalpak writers Gulaisha Esemuratova’s American Impressions and Zubaida Ishmanova’s Travel through Europe are also touched upon. Along with the above-mentioned works, the travel notes of the Karakalpak scientist Tazhen Izimbetov Travel to Five Countries across the Ocean and the Karakalpak poet Maten Seitniyazov Travel to Seven Countries are studied. In particular, the author notes that with the motive of the road in literary travels, a special place is occupied by the description of nature and terrain. In her work, the researcher emphasizes the author’s position and subjectivity in travel works in transmitting unknown information to readers. At the same time, in literary travels, the motive of the road occupies a central place, since on the way a person learns about himself, better understands his country, his people and his spiritual roots. The relevance and scientific novelty of the work lie in the insufficient study of the genre of travel in the Karakalpak literature and the author’s attempt to study the issue. The author considers the motive of the hero’s journey in comparison with the motive of return.

A automedicação, prática comum em diversas sociedades, consiste no uso de medicamentos sem orientação médica. Essa conduta, apesar de parecer inofensiva, representa um sério problema de saúde pública, com consequências que vão além do indivíduo, afetando sistemas de saúde e comunidades inteiras. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar como a educação em saúde pode ser utilizada de forma eficaz para combater a automedicação, considerando os determinantes sociais da saúde, o papel da indústria farmacêutica e a perspectiva dos profissionais de saúde. Para isso, foi realizado uma revisão integrativa da literatura através das bases de dados PubMed, SciELO, Scopus e Google Scholar. Os critérios de inclusão definidos foram: tipo de estudo, estudos publicados em inglês e português, estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, população-alvo (adultos) e foco do estudo. Os critérios de exclusão incluíram: estudos duplicados, revisões narrativas ou opiniões pessoais, estudos com metodologias inadequadas ou que não apresentem dados empíricos e estudos que não abordem diretamente o tema da automedicação ou educação em saúde. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstraram que a automedicação é um fenômeno complexo, influenciado por diversos fatores sociais e culturais. A falta de acesso a serviços de saúde de qualidade, a desinformação e a influência da indústria farmacêutica são alguns dos principais motivadores. Por outro lado, a educação em saúde emerge como uma ferramenta poderosa para combater essa prática, ao fornecer informações precisas e promover a busca por orientação médica.

RESUMO: A Síndrome do Túnel do Carpo é definida pelo encarceramento ou estiramento do nervo mediano ao nível do punho, sendo a mais comum das síndromes compressivas. Acomete predominantemente mulheres de 40-60 anos e está associada diversas profissões que utilizam a mão como principal ferramenta de trabalho, como lavadeiras de roupa, ordenhadores, operadores de perfuradoras, digitadores e costureiras. É clinicamente caracterizada por parestesias, principalmente à noite, podendo ser acompanhado por dores do tipo pontadas. Pode ser idiopática, secundária a alguma enfermidade, dinâmica (desencadeada por movimentos repetitivos em flexão-extensão do punho) ou aguda. Normalmente, os exames realizados são os testes de Tinel, Phalen, Durkan, Paley e McMurphy. Exame ultrassonográfico e eletroneuromiográfico contribuem para confirmação diagnóstica. O tratamento inclui uso de corticoesteroides e órtese para imobilização. Nos casos graves, a cirurgia dever ser considerada. Neste estudo, é descrito um caso clínico típico da doença com posterior revisão sobre a temática, destacando aspectos epidemiológicos, etiofisiopatológicos, clínicos e terapêuticos.
A Growth Mindset: What Does It Really Take?
Authors:   Utah Valley University, Westover Jonathan
Published: August 2024

This article examines what it truly means to develop a "growth mindset" within organizations based on research and practical experience. It defines the core characteristics of a growth mindset as believing one's abilities can be developed through effort versus a fixed mindset of innate, unchanging talents. While intuitively appealing, the article argues shifting to a growth mindset requires systemic changes beyond individual attitudes. It explores common barriers like reward systems, leadership role modeling, and resistance to change. Recommendations are provided for cultivating a learning organization through clarifying a vision, modeling growth, promoting psychological safety, and integrating learning into daily work. A case example demonstrates holistically embedding growth principles transforms cultures. The article concludes a genuine growth mindset necessitates consciously architecting a context where learning and adaptation become habitual.

A Robust Approach using M-Estimation for Dynamic Panel Autoregressive Model
Authors: Beyaztaş Beste Hamiye
Published: August 2024

This paper presents a robust M-estimation approach for first-order panel autoregressive models, addressing the challenges posed by high persistence levels of the autoregressive parameter and individual heterogeneity. Generalized method of moments estimators widely used in dynamic panel models exhibit substantial finite sample biases and are sensitive to weak instruments, particularly as the autoregressive parameter gets close to unity. Our proposed weighted M-estimator, which uses a power function for the scale parameter in Huber’s loss function, offers a robust alternative. By minimizing the variance of model parameters through an optimal tuning parameter, our method enhances the efficiency and robustness of parameter estimates. We demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach through several Monte-Carlo simulations and an application to hydro-electric power output data, providing comprehensive comparisons with existing generalized method of moments estimators.

Authors: Sigurnjak Lena
Published: August 2024

Strategy is one of the tools that achieves the desired market position, or competitiveness of the company. To achieve a competitive advantage, enterprise must have a well-designed and formulated strategy. The technological environment is a factor that represents the overall knowledge that people possess about how things are done, how innovations are created, how production, distribution and sales are carried out. The technology sector involves the creation of new knowledge and the exploitation of knowledge that creates new products: products, processes and materials. The development of technology is easily seen in new products, tools, machines and productivity. Three main goals of paper are presented: to analyse theoretical framework of production and competitiveness, to analyse and explain areas of Croatian metal processing industry, and to conduct research abut entrepreneurial development based on creating new values and productivity. Methodology of this paper is based on research and statistical analysis (Spearman’s correlation, Kruskal Wallis test. Research is conducted on 508 firms (large size, small and medium) in sectors of Croatian metal processing industry. For data collecting is used postal Business Croatia and for data analysis is used SPSS statistical program (version 16.0, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Result of the paper is strategic recommendation that could create new values and improve level of productivity in metal processing industry.

Socio-economic analysis play crucial role in implementation of any policy. This study, conducted in the Gazipur District of Uttar Pradesh, focuses on the current state of milk production costs. The research employs a descriptive and analytical design, using a survey methodology to categorize cattle owners into small, medium, and large-scale operations based on the number of cattle owned. A total of 10 villages were randomly selected from two blocks, with 150 milk producers chosen for in-depth study from each size category (small, medium, and large). The survey collected data on various demographics, including age, gender, education level, and social categories, as well as detailed information on milk marketing and socioeconomics. Results indicate that out of the 150 respondents, 76 were small-scale farmers, 43 were medium-scale, and 31 were large-scale. The majority of respondents (78%) were male. Economic analysis revealed that small households had an average annual income of Rs. 198,879, medium households Rs. 158,044, and large households Rs. 274,970. Non-farm income was highest for large farms (Rs. 148,140), followed by medium (Rs. 123,024) and small farms. This comprehensive study provides valuable insights into the economic conditions and marketing practices of milk producers in Gazipur, highlighting key areas for potential improvement and policy intervention.

Authors: Abiodun Olugbojo Joseph
Published: August 2024

Aim: To investigate the antibacterial efficacy of Cassia fistula and Carica papaya leaf extracts against selected fish pathogens such as Aeromonas hydrophila, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis and Micrococcus luteus,
Study Design: To carry out the antibacterial sensitivity studies of C. fistula and C. papaya leaf extracts using one way analysis of variance.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Biological Sciences, Bells University of Technology, Ota, Ogun State, between November 2022-April, 2023
Methodology: Leaves were subjected to aqueous extraction, and concentrated at 500C in hot air oven. The extracts were screen for biomolecules responsible for antibacterial activities. Antibacterial sensitivity test was carried out on bacteria pathogens using agar well diffusion technique.
Results: Results showed that C. fistula leaf extract was more effective against A. hydrophila (20.00b ± 2.31 mm) and P. mirabilis (17.00b ± 1.15 mm) than C. papaya leaf extract. (14.00c ± 2.31 mm and 15.00c ± 1.15 mm), while C. papaya was only effective against V. parahaemolyticus (17.50b ±1.73 mm) than C. fistula (15.50c ± 0.58 mm). The results depicted significant difference (P˂0.05) in the inhibition zone among A. hydrophila, V. parahaemolyticus and P. mirabilis, except S. aureus (12.50b ± 1.73 mm) and M. luteus (11.50b ± 0.58 mm) (P˃0.05). Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations and Minimum Bactericidal Concentrations confirmed that C. fistula was more effective on A. hydrophila than C. papaya at a lesser dose with a marked difference (P˃0.05).
Conclusion: C. fistula leaf extract exhibited higher antibacterial efficacy than C. papaya, showing that it is more effective against all tested bacteria except V. parahaemolyticus. This implies that C. fistula is an excellent antibacterial agent with capacity to destroy a wide range of bacteria than C. papaya. Therefore, it can be used to treat fish diseases and pond water against bacteria pathogens, including multidrug resistant bacteria.
