Published: November 2023

Cardiac cachexia is a serious, multifaceted condition that is linked to congestive heart failure and can strike at any age or level of ventricular function. For the diagnosis of cardiac cachexia in patients, no particular test is employed. However, specific nutritional screening methods, such as the CASCO (cachexia score), are employed to identify cardiac cachexia in patients with congestive heart failure. A prospective observational study was used. The study was conducted at a tertiary hospital. The study used the CASCO (cachexia score) tool. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of cardiac cachexia among congestive heart failure patients. The results of the study showed that individuals with congestive heart failure had a significantly higher prevalence of malnutrition and cardiac cachexia.

Authors: Henry Emusa  , Williams Amanyi Idakwoji
Published: November 2023

Nigeria's diverse ethnic landscape is marked by distinct traditional building practices, each representing a unique cultural identity. This study delves into the architectural heritage of the Igala people of North Central Nigeria, shedding light on their sustainable building practice. Despite its profound cultural and historical significance, the Igala traditional architecture, like many others in Nigeria, faces challenges due to modernization. This trend is pervasive across Nigeria, where contemporary buildings often disregard indigenous socio-cultural, environmental, and climatic considerations in their design and construction. Consequently, modern buildings in Nigeria tend to be costly and incompatible with the local culture, environment and climate. This study explores the imperatives and values of Igala traditional housing pattern, aiming to enhance the sustainability of contemporary building practices in Nigeria. Employing a narrative approach, the study utilized archival/historical research, field surveys, and interviews with local building professionals, indigenous elders, and environmental experts to explore the Igala traditional building practice. Thematic content and descriptive analysis were used to interpret the gathered data. The study revealed intrinsic features of Igala traditional housing pattern, including the courtyard system, hierarchical spatial arrangement, organic expansion, food storage facilities and the integration of socio-economic and socio-cultural spaces. These features exemplify sustainability through values such as security, privacy, communal living, cultural identity, energy efficiency, resource efficiency, passive solar techniques and environmental conservation. The research emphasized the critical importance of these identified features and values, not only for preserving cultural heritage but also for guiding sustainable contemporary architectural practices in Nigeria.

Published: November 2023

Credit card is a banking product that is very well known by the public. Almost all banks have credit card products, including banks with sharia principles. One of the banks with sharia principles that have sharia credit cards is BNI Syariah. This study tries to explore more about the use of Islamic credit cards in Indonesia. BNI Syariah Bank was chosen in this case study because it is one of two sharia banks that have sharia credit card products. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach using the case study paradigm. This study came to the conclusion that the use of Islamic credit cards will return to the user. Credit card issuing banks can only supervise by locking a number of merchants who are deemed not to meet the rules in Islamic sharia. In general, the impact of using a credit card will return to the user. If users are able to use credit cards wisely and do not behave consumptively, then there will not be a problem with the use of credit cards

Published: November 2023

The development of aquaculture in Indonesia has increased every year. However, in reality, farmers find failed fish harvests arising from fish feed problems. Various problems in the field occurred by fish farming business actors due to the incompatibility of the pallet molding machines used with the quality of raw materials and the high price of fish feed. For this reason, it is necessary to have a new technology in the form of a pellet molding machine to overcome the problems that often occur. This study aims to design a pellet molding machine with modifications to the angle of the mold hole and analyze changes in pressure values and production rates from the effect of the angle given to the mold to obtain a good mix of pellets and a shorter production speed. The method used is design and simulation, with machine variables that have been designed using angles of 30º, 45º, and 60º. The highest pressure value data is obtained at an angle of 45º with a maximum pressure value of 11.86 Pa and the lowest pressure value is at an angle of 30º with a maximum pressure value of 10.62 Pa. The highest speed value is obtained at an angle of 45º and 60º with a value of 4 .8 m/s and the lowest value is obtained at an angle of 30 o with a value of 4.7 m/s. In a pellet molding machine that uses an unmodified mold, the maximum pressure value is 10.36 and the speed is 4.6 m/s, which means that the angle at the mold hole gives an increase in pressure and production speed which will make the pellets have better mix and faster production time.
Gynecological and dermatological aspects of diagnostics of polycystic ovary syndrome from puberty to menopause
Authors: Siusiuka V.G. , Sergienko M.Y. , Мakarchuk O.I. , Shevchenko A.О. , Deinichenko O.V.
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the review of scientific publications on gynecological and dermatological aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in different age periods of women’s life. Analysis of domestic and foreign publications presents that the prevalence of PCOS depends on the age of women and the state of their reproductive function, and is accounted 17% in women 21 to 30 years old and significantly decreased with age. More than half of all cases of endocrine infertility (50-75%) and about 20-22% of the causes of infertile marriage in general are associated with PCOS. The phenotypic heterogeneity of women with PCOS affects the pregnancy outcomes in different ways, which increases the risk of its pathological course, early pregnancy loss, the development of gestational diabetes mellitus, hypertensive disorders, the birth of small and large for gestational age babies, etc.“The golden standard” for hyperandrogenism diagnosis in PCOS patients is the determination of the index of free testosterone and androstenedione. Other indicators are important for differential diagnosis and definition of syndrome phenotypes. Different PCOS phenotypes are characterized by different ratios of the contribution of sources of excess androgen synthesis. Depending on the cause, hyperandrogenism in PCOS patients is accompanied by various metabolic risks. Usually, an excess of androgens in women is clinically manifested by hirsutism, seborrheic dermatitis, acne, acanthosis nigricans, and androgenetic alopecia.The presence of dermatological manifestations of hyperandrogenism has different diagnostic value in puberty, women of reproductive age and in menopause. Acne can be the first sign of pubertal maturation. Additional examinations should be planned in extremely severe cases, which are accompanied by signs of androgen excess, or do not respond to treatment. In women of reproductive age and in perimenopause, the need to assess androgenic status is extremely important. Hair loss according to the female type is associated with manifestations of metabolic syndrome, and it is an independent risk factor for the development of diabetes, atherosclerosis and mortality from cardiovascular diseases.Therefore it is recommended to use the modified Rotterdam criteria for PCOS diagnosis. Such criteria include clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism, signs of oligoanovulation, polycystosis (morphology of the ovaries according to ultrasound diagnostics), if other causes of relevant disorders are excluded. At the same time, any two of the specified criteria have diagnostic value, which makes possible to establish not only the diagnosis, but also clinical variant (phenotype) of PCOS, the diagnosis of which is the basis for choosing individual treatment for this contingent of women.
LEGAL RECONSTRUCTION OF INHERITED RICE FIELD MANAGEMENT RIGHTS IN BONE, SOUTH SULAWESI
Authors: Paikah Nur , Fahri Marjana
Published: November 2023

The existence of rights to the management of jointly inherited rice fields and the concept of legal reconstruction of the control of inherited rice fields is qualitative research; the approach used is social, legal research, data collection through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The study results describe the management of jointly inherited rice fields using three systems: the individual inheritance system, the mayoral inheritance system, and the collective inheritance system, especially in the community where there is a habit of using the collaborative inheritance management system for rice fields. The management of the jointly inherited rice fields still exists where the rice fields are not sold only with an agreement that the inheritance will be received in turn with relatives and become a souvenir from the parents. Conflicts often arise because the collective inheritance system is carried out only verbally. Hence, there is a need for legal reconstruction to make a written agreement involving witnesses and the local government so that no party is harmed.
Pharmacogenetics-Informed Pharmacometabolomics as an Innovative Approach to Assessing the Safety and Risk of Pharmacotherapy with Valproic Acid
Authors: Shnayder N. A. , Grechkina V. V. , Arkhipov V. V. , Nasyrova R. F.
Published: November 2023

Scientific relevance. Valproic acid (VPA) is a psychotropic medicinal product, which may be associated with serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs). While pharmacogenetics and pharmacometabolomics can significantly affect the safety of valproates, there are no unified approaches to predicting, preventing, and correcting VPA-induced ADRs.

Aim. This study aimed to collate the results of national and international studies on toxic VPA metabolites and to develop a novel personalised approach to assessing the safety and risks of valproate therapy in real-world clinical practice.

Discussion. This study analysed national and international publications reflecting the results of preclinical and clinical studies on toxic VPA metabolites submitted to e-Library, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar in 2012–2022. The inclusion criteria were full-text original articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, Cochrane reviews, and clinical cases in Russian or English. According to the analysis results, VPA has 20 studied toxic metabolites, which result from hepatic VPA metabolism involving P-oxidation, acetylation (β-oxidation), and glucuronidation enzymes. The functional activity of these enzymes is genetically determined and associated with heterozygous or homozygous carriage of non-functional/low-function single-nucleotide variant alleles in genes encoding these enzymes. The safety of VPA and its compounds can be improved by transferring the results of preclinical and clinical studies into real-world clinical practice using pharmacogenetics-informed pharmacometabolomics. Pharmacogenetics-informed pharmacometabolomics is a novel and personalised approach that helps, based on pharmacogenetic profiling, identify patients at high risk of VPA-induced ADRs, individually select starting and target doses of VPA and its compounds, determine the timing and frequency for therapeutic drug monitoring and monitoring toxic VPA metabolites in biological fluids (blood, saliva, and urine), and select a strategy for the prevention and correction of VPA-induced ADRs, taking into account patients’ individual pharmacometabolic profiles.

Conclusions. The quality of medical care for patients with neurological diseases and mental disorders will improve with proper monitoring of VPA-induced ADRs by all entities involved in the medicinal product life cycle; active involvement of neurologists and psychiatrists in the prediction, prevention, and monitoring of the safety of valproate treatment; and inclusion of specific sections on practical pharmacogenetics-informed pharmacometabolomics and pharmacovigilance in the professional training curricula for neurologists and psychiatrists.

Authors:   Ministry of National Education, Türkiye, Erdem Erol
Published: November 2023

This study aimed to examine the impact of authentic learning on attitudes towards the course using a meta-analysis method. To achieve this, the researcher established inclusion and exclusion criteria and conducted a literature review. The review included 23 studies, from which they extracted 26 individual effect sizes. The researcher analyzed these effect sizes using the CMA program, finding no evidence of publication bias. Statistical values suggested that a random effects model was appropriate. According to the random effects model, the overall effect size was calculated as (E++ = 0.600), indicating a moderate positive effect. Additionally, when applying the Analog ANOVA test for moderator variables, no significant differences were observed based on the type of research and the educational stage in which the research was conducted. However, a significant difference was observed with regard to the subject area as a moderator variable.
Can the University Speak?
Authors: Barlas Nilay
Published: November 2023

The problematic nature of higher education and knowledge production has been a subject of debate within the academy. University students have protested against values that evoke colonial history and Western hegemony, as seen in the #RhodesMustFall protests in South Africa. This debate has highlighted the historically one-sided and interest-driven manner in which knowledge has been produced and disseminated, especially within the contemporary academy, where neoliberal practices are deeply intertwined. In this context, I provide a concise summary of these discussions while integrating the perspectives of two influential figures in postcolonial theory, Homi Bhabha and Gayatri Spivak. Homi Bhabha's 'Theory of Mimicry' offers a plausible explanation for the imitation of the Global North's university culture and structure by peripheral countries. It suggests that the privileged position of the West as a pioneer in this regard dates back to the colonial period when non-Western societies believed they could achieve a semblance of civilization by adopting these imitative practices. However, the current state of higher education is deeply flawed and biased due to this imitation of Western models by non-Western universities. This subordination of higher education to Western ideals has made it a tool of neoliberalism, which underscores that knowledge production, and consequently higher education, lacks its own agency and is rendered subaltern. Nevertheless, Latin America provides examples of subversity and pluriversity that challenge the conventional university model in the pursuit of decolonization.

The Three R of Social Capital: A Retrospective
Authors: Abu Sayed Toyon Mohammad
Published: November 2023

Despite numerous studies on social capital, a comprehensive understanding is still needed. This study adopts a qualitative approach, reviewing existing evidence to present an integrated perspective on social capital. This perspective views social capital as a holistic concept, encompassing resources, relations, and returns. These elements can be activated through agents’ actions and contacts within a system governed by mutually agreed-upon rules, obligations, and norms. This definition underscores three key components: resource, relation, and return, highlighting the significance of actions and contacts. Given the evolving nature of social capital and its continued exploration by researchers, it is crucial to grasp its entirety and defining characteristics. The insights from this study offer valuable contributions to the fields of sociology, economics, and beyond, pushing theoretical boundaries.
Benchmark tests for separating n time components of runoff with one stable isotope tracer
Authors: Hoeg Simon
Published: November 2023

A validation of the recently introduced iterative extension of the standard two-component hydrograph separation method is presented. The data for testing this method are retrieved from a random rainfall generator and a rainfall-runoff model composed of linear reservoirs. The results show that it is possible to reconstruct the simulated event water response of a given random model input by applying the iterative separation model and using a single stable isotope tracer. The benchmark model also covers the partially delayed response of event water so that a situation can be simulated in which pre-event water is rapidly mobilized. It is demonstrated how mathematical constraints, such as an ill-conditioned linear equation system, may influence the separation of the event water response. In addition, it is discussed how the volume weighted separated event water response can serve as an estimator for a time-varying backward travel time distribution.
Psychological Wellbeing amongst Graduates in Employment: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
Authors: Zandis Nadia , Cachia Moira
Published: November 2023

The transition period between university and employment is a largely impactful time on an individual’s psychological wellbeing (Wendlant & Rochlen, 2008). This can be due to many factors, such as the type of experience a student has during university, the way in which the transition from being a student into employment is managed, and an individual’s experience in their first job. This article reports a study looking into the psychological wellbeing of graduates in their first full time jobs. Through an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) of semi-structured interviews with six recent graduates in their first full time jobs, their psychological wellbeing was found to be negatively impacted. Three main themes of university experience, managing the transition and first job experience arose from the study. The outcome emphasises the need of interventions focussing on psychological resources embedded in the curriculum, in order to foster the necessary skills and readiness for this transition.
On the cognitive dimension of metaphors and their role in education: a response to Molina Rodelo (2021)
Authors: Torres-Martínez Sergio
Published: November 2023

This paper offers an alternative reading of the cognitive dimension of metaphors. In contrast to Molina Rodelo’s analysis (2021), the present model opposes the views held by the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and The Mental Spaces Theory. I argue that metaphors are part of broader cognitive phenomena (embodied cognition) issued from the speakers’ experience with the world. In other words, metaphors are not a by-product of sensorimotor experience, a simulation, as CMT claims. As a result, metaphors are construed as embodied units of sense for the shared reconstruction of experience.

Published: November 2023

Angkasa Mart Store is currently experiencing a decline in sales for specific products, leading to the implementation of the Apriori Algorithm to create bundled offerings that combine less popular items with top-selling products, aiming to revitalize sales and promote the underperforming inventory. Following the CRISP-DM methodology, the study analyzes sales transaction data from June to July 2022, covering 65,892 purchased items, to extract ten critical association rules essential for devising bundled packages. The study's findings propose two strategies for package composition: first, the development of bundled packages comprising strongly related products, identified through comprehensive data analysis and positively received by the store; second, the introduction of 21 bundled packages consisting of products with a relatively weaker relationship, effectively expanding consumer choices and encouraging additional purchases within the store. By implementing the Apriori Algorithm and adhering to the CRISP-DM methodology, this study effectively formulates bundled product packages for Angkasa Mart Store, addressing the challenge of declining sales and contributing to an overall improvement in business performance and customer satisfaction.
Nexus between Aging and Health Expenditure: An Evidence from Nepal
Authors: Poudel Tanka Mani , Gajurel Ram Prasad
Published: November 2023

Nepal, like many countries, is currently experiencing a significant shift in its demographic landscape, characterized by a rapidly aging population. This study investigates the causal relationship between aging and healthcare expenditure in Nepal. To examine this causal connection, we employed a parsimonious VAR-based Wald test, Granger causality analysis, impulse response functions (IRFs), and forecast error variance decompositions using time series data from 2000 to 2020. The findings of the analysis reveal a substantial positive correlation between the proportion of elderly people and healthcare expenditure, indicating that as the population ages, healthcare costs and the demand for healthcare services tend to rise. The IRF analysis further confirmed that an innovation or shock in the aging index (AI) led to a subsequent increase in per capita health expenditure (HPC). Granger causality also reveals a unidirectional causal linkage from the aging index to per capita health expenditure. In addition, the study highlights the positive impact of aging on life expectancy in Nepal. These findings have important policy implications for Nepal. As the population continues to age, policymakers must allocate healthcare resources effectively, invest in geriatric care, and develop a robust healthcare infrastructure. Comprehensive long-term planning and strong social support systems are crucial to ensure the well-being of the elderly population and to mitigate the associated challenges.

The present study used and analyzed rainfall data from 18 meteorological stations from 1971 to 2013 to examine the spatial and temporal variability of seasonal and annual rainfall based on rain gauge measurements. The monthly to annual rainfall analysis was carried out for each site of Kathmandu Valley. Rainfall amounts in Kathmandu Valley vary considerably in space and time. The minimum mean monthly rainfall is observed in November which is 6.5 mm and maximums of 447.8 mm in July. Monsoon is the main contributor of the rainfall which is 80% followed by pre-monsoon with 13.6%, post-monsoon with 3.6% and winter with 2.8%. Spatial interpolation was used to explore spatial variability of seasonal and annual rainfall over Kathmandu Valley. There is large spatial variability of monsoon rainfall; generally, the upper parts of the Kathmandu Valley received the heavy monsoon rainfall than the lower parts of the Valley floor. The rainfall of Kathmandu has marked decreasing in recent a couple of decades. Annual rainfall has decreased by 0.96 mm/year observed in Kathmandu Valley.

Published: November 2023

Nepal, a Himalayan country with diverse topography, faces significant flood risks yearly. This study focuses on flood hazard mapping and vulnerability assessments for the Roshi River catchment (RRC), situated in the mid-hills of Nepal, by using hydrodynamic modeling and scenario-based approaches. The results obtained from probability distribution methods revealed varying flood magnitudes from 100 m3 /s to 1100 m3 /s. Inundation’s analysis showed plains near the Araniko Highway (AH42) and Panauti Municipality to be high-risk flood-prone areas. Croplands are the most susceptible, while the estimated number of people and buildings at risk varies from 4,000 to 7000 people in 1200 to 2600 buildings. Socio-economic analysis shows that a major portion of the population is from Tamang ethnicity, with relatively lower economic and educational status. Similarly, women in economically and socially disadvantaged communities are particularly at risk, emphasizing the need for increased awareness and support. Proactive flood disaster management strategies are crucial, especially for marginalized and agriculture-dependent communities. The strategically important RRC’s link to key cities, including Kathmandu, demands effective flood control measures. Hydrodynamic modeling with possible scenarios relating to socio-economic aspects can aid decision-making processes from local to central government levels to create a more resilient and disaster-resistant future for Nepal.
