Effects of Different Temperature and Humidity Regimes on Reproduction and Development of Lucilia sericata (Meigen,1826) Female Populations
Authors: Polat Nevra , Mollahaliloğlu Salih , Koç Murat
Published: December 2024

Aim to study: The development of animals such as Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) that cannot metabolically regulate body temperature and maintain body temperature by absorbing heat from the surrounding environment (i.e., poikilotherms) has been extensively described using the temperature collection model (Grassberger & Reiter, 2002). This study aimed to investigate oviposition tendency and oviposition development times and ideal temperature and humidity values for mass rearing of the green bottle fly Lucilia sericata, which was studied in the laboratory at three different constant temperatures (25°C, 30°C, 35°C) and three different constant humidities (35% R.H., 50% R.H., and 65% R.H.).
Material and methods: The humidity was fixed at each experimental temperature to determine the maximum egg-laying and development time at different temperatures, and the number of days and degrees required to complete each stage was determined. The temperature was fixed in the different humidity experiments, and the insectarium was examined under controlled conditions in a 12:12 (L:D) photoperiod cycle.
Results: A significant difference was obtained between the number of Lucilia sericata eggs laying at different temperature values (χ2=21.143, P < 0.05). A significant difference was found between the number of Lucilia sericata eggs laying at different humidity values (χ2=17.913, P < 0.05). However, there is no significant difference between the number of egg-laying larvae at 50% and 65% humidity values (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: For the egg-laying tendency of Lucilia sericata flies in a specific insectarium under laboratory conditions, a temperature of 35°C and a humidity of 50% is ideal.

Authors: Khoer Misbahul , Acim Acim
Published: December 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kebijakan hedging dalam mengelola risiko pembiayaan pada bank syariah di Indonesia. Mengingat peran penting bank syariah dalam perekonomian, pengelolaan risiko pembiayaan yang efisien menjadi kunci untuk menjaga stabilitas keuangan. Kebijakan hedging yang diterapkan oleh bank syariah dapat membantu memitigasi risiko yang berasal dari fluktuasi pasar, risiko kredit, dan risiko operasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode analisis regresi untuk mengukur pengaruh penerapan instrumen hedging terhadap Non-Performing Financing (NPF) pada bank syariah di Indonesia. Data yang digunakan mencakup laporan tahunan dari beberapa bank syariah yang terdaftar di Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) selama periode 2018-2022. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan hedging memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan dalam mengurangi NPF. Instrumen hedging seperti wa'ad, tawarruq, dan kafalah terbukti efektif dalam mengurangi eksposur terhadap risiko pasar dan meningkatkan kualitas pembiayaan. Namun, temuan juga mengungkapkan bahwa bank syariah dengan aset lebih kecil cenderung kesulitan dalam menerapkan kebijakan hedging yang kompleks karena kendala biaya dan keterbatasan pengetahuan. Penelitian ini menyarankan agar bank syariah dengan ukuran kecil diberikan pelatihan dan dukungan untuk mengimplementasikan kebijakan hedging secara lebih efektif, serta pentingnya pengembangan instrumen hedging yang lebih sederhana dan terjangkau.

Environmental Challenges of Shipwreck Removal: A MARPOL Perspective
Authors: Kyew Aung Ye
Published: December 2024

This study examines the environmental challenges associated with shipwreck removal from the perspective of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). Shipwrecks pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, navigation, and human activities, yet their removal process can also lead to substantial environmental disturbances. This research analyzes current practices of shipwreck removal, their environmental impacts, and their alignment with MARPOL regulations through a comprehensive mixed-method approach. The methodology combines systematic literature review, analysis of five recent shipwreck removal case studies, and semi-structured interviews with ten maritime experts. The findings reveal critical environmental challenges including hazardous material releases, habitat destruction, noise pollution, and sediment disturbance. While MARPOL provides a framework for preventing ship-based pollution, its application to shipwreck removal operations often lacks clarity and consistency. The study identifies successful innovative approaches in recent projects, such as pre-removal oil extraction and containment barrier deployment, which demonstrate the feasibility of environmentally responsible removal practices. Based on these findings, the research proposes recommendations for enhancing environmental protection during shipwreck removal operations, including developing specific MARPOL guidelines, implementing mandatory environmental impact assessments, and strengthening monitoring mechanisms. These measures aim to balance the necessity of wreck removal with environmental preservation requirements under MARPOL regulations.

Negative staining: a forgotten technique in microbiology
Authors: Alazazi Entesar Ahmed , Ahmed Sarfraz , Murtey Mogana Das
Published: December 2024

Electron microscopy techniques have been well established as a rapid method in examining the basic characteristics of microorganisms such as bacteria as well as viruses and subsequently, exploring biological phenomena in greater detail. Though various staining techniques are available for the accurate identification of bacteria and viruses, the negative staining technique is well known for its simplicity. Negative staining is a fast technique that uses only one acidic stain and the absence of heat fixation of the sample. This stain can produce contrast images when an acidic stain does not infiltrate the cell due to repulsion between negative charges of the stain and the bacteria/viruses’ surface. However, this technique is currently fast disappearing from mainstream microscopy techniques. Thus, this short review is intended to highlight the advantages (this wasn’t discussed explicitly) and applications of the negative staining technique among laboratorians, particularly in the current, fast-paced lab environment.
The dual roles of fungi: allergens and pathogens
Authors: Zhou Xin , Quan Yu , Ahmed Sarah , Ilkit Macit , Liu Wentao , Zhang Xiaoya , Feng Peiying
Published: December 2024

Fungal infections and hypersensitivity represent two distinct yet interconnected host immune responses. While infection primarily activates innate immune pathways to combat pathogens and opportunists, hypersensitivity arises from exaggerated immune responses to fungal allergens. This duality highlights the complex balance between immune defence against infection and the risk of an inappropriate hypersensitivity response to fungal antigens. Allergens elicit allergic reactions in the respiratory system, skin, and gastrointestinal tract. Inhalation of airborne propagules from e.g., Aspergillus, Alternaria, and Penicillium species frequently leads to respiratory disorders like allergic rhinitis, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, allergic asthma, or allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis / mycosis. Cutaneous exposure to allergens such as Trichophyton may provoke Id reactions, and Malassezia and Candida exacerbate atopic dermatitis or induce urticaria. Furthermore, fungal antigens may interact with the gut-associated immune system, potentially triggering or aggravating food allergies. Antibody- and T-cell-mediated hypersensitivity responses are central to these pathophysiological processes, with environmental influences and genetic predispositions modulating the intensity of allergic manifestations, especially in predisposed individuals. Despite the high prevalence of fungus-induced allergic diseases, precise diagnosis remains challenging due to the vast heterogeneity of extant species and antigenic cross-reactivity. Conventional diagnostic tools, such as skin prick tests and serum total or specific IgE assays are limited by the lack of standardized extracts and variability in antigenic specificity. The dual role of fungal exposure in infection and hypersensitivity underscores the need to deepen our understanding of the immunopathological mechanisms underlying microbial sensitization, identify specific allergens, and elucidate the molecular pathways involved. These areas are essential for enhancing diagnostic accuracy and developing standardized allergen extracts, thereby facilitating the management and treatment of allergic conditions.

Published: December 2024

В статье исследуется одна из детерминант бытовой коррупции в современном российском обществе — осознанная готовность граждан к участию в коррупционных действиях. Проанализированы основные теоретические подходы, традиционно используемые при рассмотрении этой проблемы в отечественной и зарубежной научной литературе. С учетом неоднозначных результатов борьбы с бытовой коррупцией в современном обществе в статье поставлена цель применить для исследования указанной детерминанты данного негативного феномена еще один подход, в основе которого лежит теория структурации известного англий- ского социолога Э. Гидденса. Для анализа полученных авторами результатов эмпирического социологического исследования бытовой коррупции в Свердловской области апробирована стратификационная модель агента, разработанная Э. Гидденсом. Сделан вывод о возможно- сти изменения в положительную сторону одного из компонентов сознания рядовых граждан, потенциально готовых участвовать в коррупционных действиях, — теоретического сознания, что может помочь в формировании антикоррупционных установок у населения.

The article examines one of the determinants of everyday corruption in modern Russian society — the conscious readiness of citizens to participate in corrupt practices. The main theoretical approaches traditionally used in considering this problem in domestic and foreign scientific literature are analyzed. Taking into account the ambiguous results of the fight against everyday corruption in modern society, the article aims to apply another approach to the study of this determinant of this negative phenomenon, which is based on the theory of structuring by the famous English sociologist E. Giddens. To analyze the results of the empirical sociological study of everyday corruption in the Sverdlovsk region obtained by the authors, the stratification model of the agent developed by E. Giddens was tested. A conclusion is made about the possibility of changing for the positive one of the components of the consciousness of ordinary citizens potentially ready to participate in corrupt practices — theoretical consciousness, which can help in the formation of anti-corruption attitudes among the population.

Navigating Inclusion: Challenges Faced by Teachers in the Peninsula of Santa Elena in Supporting Students and Families with Special Education Needs
Authors: Gándara Vivar María Gabriela , Inzhivotkina Yana
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the evolving landscape of inclusive education in Ecuador, focusing on the challenges faced by special education (SEN) teachers, especially in the Santa Elena region. Ecuador's Ministry of Education has adopted inclusive education policies to support students with various physical, cognitive, and socioemotional needs. However, SEN teachers encounter substantial challenges, such as managing classrooms with diverse disabilities, limited institutional support, non-instructional responsibilities, and lack of public recognition. These obstacles contribute to high stress and burnout rates, with many SEN teachers leaving the profession within a decade, leading to a shortage of qualified professionals and diminished quality of SEN programs. The study used a quantitative approach, surveying 11 SEN teachers to identify the primary challenges they face. Key findings highlight widespread misconceptions about SEN teaching, insufficient support from parents and colleagues, and the difficulty of balancing instructional and non-instructional tasks. Teachers reported difficulties handling multiple disabilities and maintaining inclusive environments, often without adequate resources or professional development. This initial analysis emphasizes the need for targeted support systems, including specialized resources and structured professional development, to alleviate the burdens on SEN teachers. By addressing these challenges, policymakers can enhance educational inclusivity and improve the learning environment for students with special needs.

Este estudio analiza el Heart Failure Prediction Dataset para identificar factores de riesgo asociados con la insuficiencia cardíaca mediante técnicas de visualización y análisis estadístico. El dataset incluye 11 características clínicas relevantes, como edad, género, tipo de dolor torácico, presión arterial en reposo, y otros indicadores cardiovasculares. Se preprocesaron los datos para garantizar su calidad, incluyendo la creación de variables lógicas y la segmentación por género, además de la eliminación de valores faltantes. Se emplearon diferentes tipos de visualizaciones, como histogramas, diagramas de caja y dispersión, para analizar la relación entre las variables y la probabilidad de insuficiencia cardíaca. Los resultados destacan que los hombres mayores de 55 años, con dolor torácico atípico (ASY) y angina inducida por ejercicio, presentan un riesgo significativamente mayor de desarrollar insuficiencia cardíaca. Otras variables, como el colesterol, la frecuencia cardíaca máxima y el nivel de glucosa en ayunas, no mostraron una influencia relevante en este contexto. Además, la pendiente del segmento ST (Slope) y la presión arterial en reposo en mujeres se identificaron como factores importantes en la predicción de la enfermedad. Este análisis refuerza la importancia de enfoques basados en datos para comprender mejor los factores de riesgo cardiovascular y desarrollar estrategias de prevención personalizadas.

La infraestructura vial en zonas rurales es fundamental para el desarrollo socioeconómico y la conectividad territorial. Este estudio presenta un análisis técnico integral de la infraestructura vial para el acceso al recinto El Secal en el cantón Jipijapa, Ecuador. La investigación empleó un enfoque cuantitativo, incluyendo estudios de suelos, análisis de aforo vehicular y evaluación geométrica de la vía existente. Los resultados del CBR mostraron valores entre 3.42% y 11.34%, indicando variaciones significativas en la capacidad portante del suelo. El análisis del tráfico proyectado a 20 años reveló un incremento de 44 a 209 vehículos diarios. Basado en estos hallazgos, se propuso un diseño estructural de pavimento flexible con espesores de 5 cm para la capa de rodadura, 20 cm para la base y 35 cm para la subbase, adaptado a las condiciones locales y requerimientos de tráfico. Este estudio proporciona una base técnica para la toma de decisiones en el mejoramiento de infraestructura vial rural, con potencial aplicación en contextos similares.

El objetivo investigativo fue analizar las tendencias de recaudación del Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA) en Ecuador y determinar el impacto de la tasa impositiva del 15% en la generación de ingresos fiscales, con énfasis en las variaciones por provincia. La metodología acogió un enfoque cuantitativo, con alcance correlacional, de tipo descriptivo que permitió analizar el efecto del alza de este tributo de naturaleza indirecta, identificando patrones y tendencias de disparidad. Como resultado, se determinó que el cambio porcentual en el porcentaje de IVA tuvo efectos inmediatos, evidenciados en un aumento significativo en los ingresos tributarios del Estado. Este crecimiento en la recaudación muestra que la medida logró su propósito a corto plazo, proporcionando un flujo adicional de fondos que deberían ser destinados a subsanar gastos públicos, particularmente en el ámbito de seguridad. Aquella aseveración se realizó en función del valor de 0.988, que reflejó un impacto directo entre las variables analizadas.

O linfoma angioimunoblástico de células T é uma doença maligna linfóide rara com prognóstico hostil. Nesse relato de caso, discutimos sua epidemiologia, fisiopatologia, diagnóstico e tratamento, visando explorar as possibilidades de manejo dessa doença no Brasil, mais especificamente no norte do Estado do Paraná. As informações do paciente foram extraídas do prontuário do Hospital do Câncer de Londrina, em Londrina. Sabe-se que o linfoma angioimunoblástico é uma doença de diagnóstico frequentemente tardio, fato que prejudica uma terapêutica eficaz. Este relato retrata um caso típico da doença, com quadro clínico inicial de sintomas B (hiporexia, prurido, febre vespertina) e linfonodomegalia ao exame físico, característicos da doença. Através de exames complementares, obteve-se a confirmação diagnóstica. O protocolo de tratamento foi iniciado com ciclofosfamida, doxorrubicina, vincristina e prednisona e realização de transplante autólogo de medula óssea, bem como outros esquemas de tratamento ainda em estudo, como brentuximabe. Posteriormente, necessitou-se de tratamento de resgate por meio do uso do esquema ifosfamida, etoposide e carboplatina. No entanto, o aparecimento de problemas gastrointestinais e complicações relacionadas com a imunossupressão causada pela doença dificultaram o alcance da cura total do paciente. Dessa forma, percebe-se que a doença ainda apresenta-se como uma zona cinzenta quando se diz respeito ao seu tratamento, o que indica a necessidade de um diagnóstico precoce e de manejo das complicações causadas pela doença. Assim, mais investigações são necessárias para desenvolver um tratamento com maior eficácia, a fim de melhorar a expectativa de vida desses pacientes.
Stakeholders’ Training Initiatives by Neo-Pentecostal Churches can Alleviate Domestic Water Scarcity in Tigania West Constituency

Published: December 2024

Church teachings and doctrines are expected to be all-inclusive. Therefore, Neo-Pentecostal Churches (NPCs) in Tigania West should incorporate water stakeholder training into their spiritual and community responsibilities. By partnering with NGOs, Bible schools, and technical institutions, NPCs can equip leaders with skills in sustainable water management to address domestic water scarcity, improve access, reduce diseases, and enhance livelihoods. This study explored the training initiatives for water stakeholders by Neo-Pentecostal churches on alleviation of domestic water scarcity in Tigania West constituency, where 97% of the population faces severe water challenges. Despite biblical mandates in Matthew 28:20 and Ezekiel 34:17-19, which call for addressing both spiritual and practical needs, NPCs however perceive water stakeholder training as outside their biblical mandate. This narrow focus on spiritual matters highlights a gap in their involvement in addressing water scarcity menace. Using the Theological Reflection Theory, the study adopted a qualitative approach and phenomenological research design. It targeted 22 registered NPCs in Tigania West, with a sample of 59 participants who were sampled using cluster sampling technique. Respondents were pastors and church members. Data was collected through interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, with pre-testing ensuring validity and reliability. Thematic analysis technique was applied to analyze the collected data. Findings revealed that NPCs lacked formal water management training programs, although some churches expressed interest in vocational initiatives like rainwater harvesting and infrastructure development.  The study concluded that NPCs’ limited engagement with water scarcity represents a missed opportunity to align spiritual teachings with community development. The study recommends collaboration of NPCs, Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs), NGOs, and Bible schools, with technical institutions in organizing workshops, seminars, and other capacity-building initiatives regarding water management and access. These initiatives would provide practical knowledge on water catchment protection, rainwater harvesting, and infrastructure development, thus enhancing NPCs' role in bridging faith and social responsibility.

AVRUPA TARİHİNDEKİ İLK ULUSLARARASI TOPLANTI: VİSEGRÁD KRALLAR TOPLANTISI
Authors: Dilbaş Gökhan
Published: December 2024

1335 yılında Macaristan’ın Visegrád kasabasında Macaristan, Lehistan ve Bohemya kralları bir araya gelmiş ve Orta ve Doğu Avrupa’daki gelişmeler üzerinde yaklaşık yarım yüzyıl boyunca etkili olacak kararlar almışlardır. Bu toplantıda Lehistan ve Bohemya arasındaki anlaşmazlıklar sona ermiş, Lehistan ve Töton Şövalyeleri ihtilaflı topraklar üzerinde anlaşmaya varmış ve Viyana’nın yüksek vergilerden elde ettiği kazançları önlemek için ticaret yollarının değiştirilmesine karar verilmiştir. Ancak toplantının sonucunda elde edilen en büyük kazanç; Macaristan’ın, Lehistan’ın ve Bohemya’nın Habsburgların yayılmacı emellerine karşı Orta ve Doğu Avrupa’yı korumak amacıyla bir ittifak oluşturmasıdır. XIV. yüzyılda kurulan bu ittifak, XX. yüzyılda aynı ülkelerin bir araya gelmesiyle Visegrád’ta, bu sefer Visegrád Grubu veya Visegrád Dörtlüsü (V4. Macaristan, Polonya, Çek Cumhuriyeti, Slovak Cumhuriyeti) adıyla yeniden kurulur. Orta Çağ’da Visegrád Krallar Toplantısı’nın Orta ve Doğu Avrupa’da uzun süre istikrarlı bir ortam oluşturduğu gibi yüzyıllar sonra hayata geçirilen Visegrád Grubu da bölgede istikrarın en önemli temel taşlarından birisi olur. Macar, Leh ve Bohemya krallarını Avrupa tarihinin ilk uluslararası toplantısını gerçekleştirmeye götüren sebeplerin, toplantıda alınan kararların ve bu kararların sonuçlarının incelenmesi, bölgede ağırlığını her zaman hissettiren Macaristan, Polonya, Çek ve Slovak Cumhuriyeti’nin tarihinin, bu bağlamda Orta ve Doğu Avrupa tarihinin farklı bir bakış açısıyla değerlendirilmesini sağlayacağı gibi bu zorlu coğrafyanın Batı Avrupa ile olan ilişkilerinin de anlaşılmasına katkı sağlayacaktır.
