Association of Mutation and Polymorphism in Lipoprotein Lipase Gene with Coronary Heart Disease in Some Iraqi Patient
Authors: Rasheid Abduqader W.
Published: February 2025

Prior research has assessed the correlations between the likelihood of acquiring diabetes mellitus and the polymorphism in the cholesterol ester transfer protein (LIPASE GENE). Chronic hyperglycemia and abnormalities in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins due to deficiencies in insulin production, action, or both are characteristics of the metabolic condition known as diabetes mellitus (DM), which has several etiologies. However, the conclusions are still up for debate. This study sought to determine whether lipid profile abnormalities in Iraqi diabetic patients were associated with the LIPASE GENE. Methods, To shed light on the relationships between the LIPASE GENE TaqIB polymorphism, HDL-C levels, and diabetes mellitus, we performed a meta-analysis of the literature. Findings: This study included 160 Iraqi participants, 90 of whom had diabetes mellitus, and 70 of whom served as controls. Table 1 displays the population study's blood lipid data. TC, TG, LDL-C, and VLDL-C were all considerably greater (P<0.0001) in the patient group than in the control group, with the exception of HDL-C, which was lower (P<0.0001). In this study, there were more men (75.55%) than women (24.4%) with type 2 diabetes. The large percentage of men in this research may result from the demographics of the hospital's patients, who tend to seek medical care more frequently than women to have more free time because most of them are retired. Included in the correlation between HDL-C concentration and lipase polymorphism. The LIPASE GENE gene has been shown to have a variety of single nucleotide polymorphisms. The influence of the rs708272 (g.5454G>A) polymorphism on HDL-C focus has been explained. This study aimed to evaluate the LIPASE gene site polymorphism and its effect on blood lipids in Iraqi patients with lipid problems. Since a few evaluations listed the LIPASE GENE polymorphism's association with the HDL level we decided to use it because we couldn't locate any Iraqi studies that addressed this polymorphism.

Published: February 2025

Stroke is a non-communicable disease with serious health issues, ranking as the third leading cause of death worldwide and the primary cause of physical disability. Family knowledge about stroke is crucial because the family's understanding influences preventive behavior against stroke attacks through lifestyle changes. A lack of knowledge about stroke can lead to delays in seeking treatment during an attack, depression, and unpreparedness in caring for the patient. These factors contribute to the severity of the patient's condition, recurrent stroke attacks, paralysis, and even death. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge among family caregivers about post-hospitalization stroke in the neurology clinic of Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta. This research uses a quantitative method with a descriptive approach. The sampling technique applied purposive sampling with a total of 45 respondents. The instrument used was a questionnaire to measure caregivers' knowledge about stroke. The collected data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed the level of knowledge among family caregivers about stroke: 9 respondents (20.0%) had good knowledge, 20 respondents (44.4%) had moderate knowledge, and 16 respondents (35.6%) had poor knowledge. From these findings, it can be concluded that family caregivers of stroke patients have a moderate level of knowledge about stroke.

The Impact of Digital Transformation on Total Factor Productivity of Automobile Manufacturing Enterprises in China
Authors: Li Shuangjie , Zhang Tianhui
Published: February 2025

Abstract

This paper conducts a study on the impact of digital transformation on the total factor productivity (TFP) of Chinese automobile manufacturing enterprises based on the sample data of 49 enterprises listed in the Chinese automobile manufacturing a-share companies from 2012 to 2023. It is found that the digital transformation of automobile manufacturing enterprises has a significant positive impact on the improvement of their TFP level. The mechanism effect model shows that the improvement of enterprise innovation ability and the reduction of financing constraints are the mechanism paths of digital transformation to improve TFP. The moderating effect model suggests that corporate solvency plays a positive moderating role in the positive impact of digital transformation on TFP. The threshold effect model shows that the positive impact of digital transformation on TFP is non-linear. Heterogeneity analysis shows that digital transformation has a more significant positive impact on the TFP of enterprises in the four major urban agglomerations and new energy automobile enterprises. Based on the conclusions of the study, targeted policy recommendations are put forward to provide reference for automobile manufacturing enterprises to carry out digital transformation and improve TFP.

Reusable Surgical Gowns Yield Annual Health Care Economic Benefits- The Assessment of Annual Costs of Reusable Versus Disposable Surgical Gowns
Authors:   Environmental Genome Initiative, USA, Overcash Michael
Published: February 2025

Reusable surgical gowns are important in hospitals and when compared to disposable surgical gowns offer significant economic benefits. This study was
initiated to quantify the annual cost saving to hospitals by selecting the reusable surgical gown option by using data from 127 separate hospitals over the
period of January to December, 2021. These laundries are all separate organizations with their own collection and processing methods, ownership, scale,
and varying ages of equipment. All are in competitive markets and so it is assumed to be representative of the larger domain of U.S and Canadian laundries
serving hospitals. Annual cost savings were calculated as the difference in annual disposable and reusable costs divided by the annual disposable cost (as
a percent). For a representative hospital system there is nearly a 50% annual cost savings which accrues to the health care organization’s bottom line. Said
differently, selecting disposable surgical gowns increases the hospitals surgical gown budget by about 190%. For the entire U.S. health care system (6,129
hospitals), a shift to 90% reusable surgical gowns would yield a health care savings of about $354 million per year, a beneficial step

Published: February 2025

This article is an article regarding the burial platform of the wooden chamber tomb covered by stone and earthen mound in the Bujeok-ri, Gyeongsan area during the Silla Dynasty. The stacked stone facility, a relic discovered at 379 Bujeok-ri, Gyeongsan was presumed to be the ritual relics with its unique construction method particularly stands out. With the comparative subjects of ancient tomb of adjacent Imdang relics of Gyeongsan and burial platform of wooden chamber tomb covered by stone and earthen mound in the Gyeongju area with the focus on the foregoing, the characteristics of the stacked stone facility have been reviewed. In addition, through the burial platform of a chamber, the implication of the wooden chamber tomb covered by stone and earthen mound in the Bujeok-ri area is sought, and furthermore, it has handled the functions and implications in the burial platform of the wooden chamber tomb covered by stone and earthen mound in the Silla region.
As a result, the relic at 379 Bujeok-ri, stacked stone facility, demonstrates conspicuous difference from the burial platform of the ancient tombs constructed under the powerful tradition in the area.
However, it is rather identical to the burial platform of Bujeok-ri BVI tomb that is known as the wooden chamber tomb covered by stone and earthen mound built in the Silla region. Furthermore, it has high structural similarities with the burial platform of the wooden chamber tomb covered by stone and earthen mound in the central Silla, the Gyeongju area, for Hwangnamdae-chong, Seobong-chong, Geumryeong-chong, Sikri-chong and others. Through the foregoing, the stacked stone facility is one of the wooden chamber tomb covered by stone and earthen mounds constructed in the region, and is remaining today only for the lower structure of the tombs.
The thick burial platform contained in the wooden chamber tomb covered by stone and earthen mound of Silla has been pointed out to have a great relation with the wetland environment of the central ancient tombs in Gyeongju. The thick burial platform would be functioned as a preparatory measure to adept to the nature environmentally adverse situation. However, the phenomenon to apply the unique burial platform for the wooden chamber tomb covered by stone and earthen mound in the Gyeongsan Bujeok-ri ancient tombs area that is situated in the mountain ridge area is also unique. The functional implication for the thick burial platform in the wooden chamber tomb covered by stone and earthen mound in Gyeongju is construed as diminished in the region, and the structure or processing was constructed in the region while it was solidified as one of the construction routines. In addition, it has presented a possibility to selectively opted since it contains representative element of the wooden chamber tomb covered by stone and earthen mound as shared within the construction group for the wooden chamber tomb covered by stone and earthen mound in the area.

Updated checklist of bees of mainland France (Hymenoptera: Apocrita: Apoidea). - The checklist of bees from metropolitan France is presented here, with an update of the previous checklist published in 1995 which included 865 species. A total of 150 species have been added to this previous checklist, 114 thanks to new distributional records and 36 due to an update of their taxonomic status. In addition, 32 have been removed from the previous list, along with 12 species recently reported in French territory whose presence has either been refuted, deemed doubtful, or requires confirmation. This work results in a list of the 983 confirmed bee species for metropolitan France. This high species richness is related to the high variety of climatic and biogeographic contexts throughout the country. The amount of changes between the previous and the current checklists, most of them related to changes that happened in the past few years, illustrates the importance of keeping our efforts on improving the knowledge of the French bee fauna even today and in the years to come. This update represents an initial step toward supporting these efforts, including the forthcoming red list of French wild bees.

Published: February 2025

This study examined the influence of accessing educational technology on students’ academic achievement in Kakamega County, Kenya. Using a mixed-method approach, data was collected from 77 principals, 461 teachers, 138 heads of departments (HoDs), and 67 technical staff through questionnaires, interviews, observation checklists, and document analysis. Participants were selected through multistage sampling techniques. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between access to educational technology and improved academic performance. Regression analysis showed that access to educational technology accounted for a substantial proportion of variance in academic outcomes: 65.7% for teachers (𝑅² = 0.657, 𝑝 = 0.032), 81.4% for HoDs (𝑅² = 0.814, 𝑝 = 0.011), and 77.2% for technical staff (𝑅² = 0.772, 𝑝 = 0.017). Schools with access to community resource centers, which had some technology equipment, demonstrated better academic performance compared to school which had no access. The analysis of variance results confirmed that the influence of educational technology access was statistically significant across all categories (𝐹 = 0.554, 𝑝 < 0.05). Interestingly, a unit increase in access to educational technology was associated with variations in performance, ranging from a positive change of 0.011 for HoDs to a negative but marginal change of -0.019 for technical staff, highlighting disparities in access to technology and consequently, utilization. The study underscored the need for equitable access to technology, supported by functional resource-sharing schedules, teacher training, and robust infrastructure. Recommendations included increasing investment in technological resources, especially in under-resourced schools, to foster inclusive and effective learning environments and enhance academic outcomes.

Anticancer Effects of Nigella sativa Seeds in Cell Line
Authors: Khan Imran , JD Shaikh
Published: February 2025

Nigella sativa L. (black cumin) has been recognized for its medicinal properties for centuries, and recent studies have highlighted its bioactive components for their anticancer potential. Key constituents such as thymoquinone, nigellone, and alpha-hederin have been shown to exert significant anticancer effects in animal cell lines. These effects include the modulation of apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and the inhibition of metastasis, making these components promising candidates for cancer therapy. Preclinical studies indicate that Nigella sativa targets multiple cancer hallmarks, including evading apoptosis, promoting proliferative signaling, and modulating inflammation and oxidative stress. However, several challenges limit its clinical translation. The primary limitations include poor bioavailability of thymoquinone, variability in the concentration of bioactive components due to cultivation and extraction methods, and the lack of large-scale clinical trials. To address these issues, strategies such as nanoparticle encapsulation and liposomal formulations are being explored to enhance bioavailability. Standardizing extraction methods and further investigating the molecular mechanisms of Nigella sativa's anticancer effects are also critical steps toward clinical application. Additionally, its potential to act synergistically with conventional chemotherapy offers opportunities for integrative cancer therapies. In conclusion, while Nigella sativa holds significant promise as a complementary therapeutic agent in cancer treatment, overcoming these challenges is crucial for its effective clinical use.

Jackfruit seed chips are a processed food innovation that uses jackfruit seeds as the main raw material which is often thrown away. This research aims to develop diversification in the use of jackfruit seeds to make chips as a healthy food and provide benefits to the community. The manufacturing process begins with cleaning the jackfruit seeds, boiling to remove the bitter taste, drying to reduce the water content, and slicing thinly before frying or baking until crispy. Several researchers say that jackfruit seeds have quite high nutritional content, such as fiber, protein and carbohydrates, as well as a delicious taste and crunchy texture.

The goal of this community service project is to improve the Payolansek community's understanding and proficiency in preparing wholesome meals using local ingredients, particularly through the socializing process of creating egg rendang. Since the primary ingredient, eggs, are a cheap and nutrient-dense source of animal protein and the spices employed have a number of health advantages, egg rendang was selected as the activity's focal point. Interactive lectures, demonstrations, and practical egg rendang-making were among the techniques employed. Before and after the activity, questionnaires were used for evaluation. The findings demonstrated that participants' knowledge and proficiency in processing nutrient-dense foods had significantly increased. Additionally, participants were able to make the best use of locally available food components and had a greater understanding of the significance of a balanced diet. It is anticipated that this project will help the Payolansek community's nutritional situation and serve as a template for comparable community service projects in other locations. The success of this activity is aided by the backing of the local village authority.

Cutting skills are one of the fine motor skills that are important in early childhood development. This activity not only involves eye-hand coordination, but also supports children's cognitive, social, and emotional development. This study aims to analyze the level of cutting skills of early childhood children in Ki Hajar Dewantoro V Kindergarten, using a quantitative descriptive approach.

Variations in these abilities are influenced by age factors, environmental support, and children's self-confidence levels. These findings are in line with Vygotsky and Erikson's developmental theories, which emphasize the importance of scaffolding and emotional support in skill development. This study concludes that cutting activities can be an effective method to improve children's fine motor skills, especially if supported by the right learning approach and intensive guidance.
