Published: September 2024

Primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas of the central nervous system represent 1.5% of all neuraxial tumors. Intramedullary localizations are very rare. We report the case of primary intramedullary lymphoma. The patient was a 46-year-old man with no previous history of lymphoma. He was admitted to our department with walking difficulties, heaviness in all four limbs, spinal claudication, and vesico-sphincter problems such as urinary leakage, which had been present for 6 months. The examination revealed spastic tetraparesis, a quadri-pyramidal syndrome, and cervical spinal syndrome. A spinal cord MRI showed an encapsulated intramedullary tumor extending from C4 to C6. The patient underwent surgical excision, and the pathological examination concluded in favor of a small cell lymphoma type B. The patient was subsequently treated with chemotherapy and adjuvant radio therapy with good progression.

Published: September 2024

Objective: To determine the frequency of maternal-perinatal complications and the clinical factors associated with these outcomes in pregnant women with lupus. Methods: A case-control study was conducted using the medical records of patients diagnosed with pregnancy and lupus in a healthcare institution in Medellin, Colombia, between 2010 and 2022. The patients were classified as cases (patients with adverse maternal-perinatal outcomes) and controls (patients without adverse outcomes). Results: A total of 67 patients (35 cases and 32 controls) were included. The most frequent maternal complications were pregnancyassociated hypertensive disorders (71.4%), including preeclampsia and a significant presentation of preterm deliveries (68.6%).Lupus nephritis prior to and during pregnancy was more frequent in cases than in controls (31.4% versus 9.4%). Cardiovascular, mucosal and musculoskeletal compromises were more frequent during pregnancy (31.4%, 40% and 34.3%, respectively), coinciding with greater lupus activity, mainly during pregnancy. Cardiovascular and mucosal involvement during pregnancy, as well as having antiphospholipid syndrome, were related to adverse maternal-perinatal outcome. Conclusion: Clinical components of the disease such as lupus nephritis, antiphospholipid syndrome, cardiovascular and mucosal involvement, are factors that may predispose these patients to adverse maternal and/or perinatal outcomes, such as hypertensive disorders associated with pregnancy, low birth weight, preterm, fetal growth restriction, among others.

Authors: Mkrtchyan Mkrtich
Published: September 2024

Semiotics is developing rapidly, providing researchers with new tools to
examine and decipher various phenomena in everyday reality, especially when
those phenomena are verbal or nonverbal communications that include
ambiguous messages. Such messages, representing a sign system rich in
visual metaphors, are abundant in posters, where the visual image is
sometimes accompanied by a linguistic description. This description, also
called a verbal message, conveys the meaning of a visual metaphor or nonverbal message. However, there are cases when verbal and non-verbal
messages do not complement each other but are opposed. Hence, this article
attempts to describe one such case with the example of two posters from
Avanta's "imsirun" advertising campaign. Conceiving the semiotic translation
as resemiotization, two posters are analyzed with regard to the visual
metaphor, linguistic description, and connotations contained in it. Using
semiotic analysis, this article demonstrates that verbal and nonverbal
messages contradict each other, resulting in the public's confused perception
of these posters.

Published: September 2024

This study investigated the causes of environmental degradation in Chuka Igambang’ombe Sub-County, Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya. Environmental degradation, characterised by deforestation, pollution, and soil erosion, poses significant threats to ecosystems and human well-being. Environmental challenges persist despite the Catholic Church's active participation in conservation efforts such as tree planting, river rehabilitation, soil conservation, and awareness campaigns. Identifying the underlying factors is crucial for developing effective interventions. The study employed a descriptive survey design targeting a population of 15,574 Church members. A sample size of 389 participants was selected, including ten priests, ten development committee members, 86 youths, 98 members of the Catholic Men Association (CMA), and 175 members of the Catholic Women Association (CWA). Data was collected through interviews and questionnaires and analysed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that deforestation, pollution, improper waste disposal, overgrazing, lack of environmental knowledge, and encroachment on natural habitats were crucial factors contributing to environmental degradation in the region. The study concludes that these factors and inadequate management strategies exacerbate degradation. It is recommended that the government and stakeholders enforce stricter regulations against deforestation, promote environmental education, and enhance waste management practices to mitigate these effects.

Authors:   , Sibisi Christopher
Published: September 2024

In the aftermath of Covid-19 and its negative impact on business and profitability, many businesses are seeking innovative solutions to curb the loss of customers. The adoption of effective customer relationship management (CRM) initiatives is on the rise in many industries in South Africa. This is primarily characterised by the fact that it is now extremely difficult to secure new business when the company continues to lose its existing business to competitors. The adoption of CRM has been profoundly successful because of its ability to synergise various units within the company to work together to achieve common goals. The goal is to provide quality customer service with the intention of achieving customer satisfaction that leads to customer retention. Through good CRM strategies, systems and processes, companies build strong organisational capabilities and competencies that enable them to create sustainable competitive advantages. This study focused on CRM as a strategic tool for customer retention at a selected Information Communication Technology company in Johannesburg. The study adopted a quantitative method to collect data on the various factors influencing the use of CRM in the organisation. The population of the study consisted of 121 employees in the company from whom the data was collected using electronic questionnaires as the data collection instrument. The study population consisted of sales, marketing, business development, outbound logistics and finance teams. These participants were selected because of their engagements with current and potential customers. The study used the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 software for data analysis. This software was used to produce graphs and tables to generate meaningful interpreted data. The demographic data was analysed using frequency distribution tables.

Published: September 2024

This study presents the green synthesis and characterization of a Schiff base ligand derived from 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and glycine, along with its Copper (II) and Zinc (II) complexes, employing a mechanochemical approach. This method aligns with green chemistry principles by minimizing waste and energy consumption and avoiding hazardous reagents. The Schiff base ligand and metal complexes were synthesized through solvent-free grinding, producing a milky-colored ligand and distinctively colored complexes: dark green for Cu (II) and white for Zn (II). The synthesized compounds demonstrated high yields: 96% for the ligand, 98% for the Cu (II) complex, and 97% for the Zn (II) complex. Spectroscopic analyses, including infrared (IR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, confirmed the formation of the Schiff base and its metal complexes, revealing the presence of functional groups and electronic transitions indicative of complexation. The IR spectra showed characteristic bands for hydroxyl (O-H), imine (C=N), carbonyl (C=O), and aromatic groups, as well as metal-ligand (M-N, M-O) interactions. UV-Vis spectra indicated π →π*, n→π*, and d-d transitions, suggesting conjugated π-systems and electronic transitions within the metal ions. This study underscores the efficacy and environmental benefits of the mechanochemical method in synthesizing Schiff base ligands and their metal complexes.

Authors: Fujikawa Mako , Yokota Kunihiro , Nakanishi Daisuke
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether conformist bias can be observed in information-seeking situations. We replicated the experiment conducted by Fujikawa et al. (2024), in which conformist bias was observed, using a between-participants design. In Experiments 1 (N = 116) and 2 (N = 157), participants responded to “yes/no” questions in which the answer was objectively and not objectively fixed as correct or incorrect. After being shown one of four patterns of others’ responses (9, 6, 3, or 0 others answering “yes”), participants answered the same questions. The results of both Exp. 1 and Exp. 2 showed a conformist bias for the questions with objectively fixed answers, but not for the questions with non-objectively fixed answers. The differences between the results of Fujikawa et al. (2024) and our results were discussed.

A adolescência é um período crucial de desenvolvimento, onde a educação sexual desempenha um papel fundamental. No entanto, há desafios na abordagem dessa temática, incluindo tabus familiares e falta de preparo dos educadores. Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender as implicações de instruções sobre sexualidade nas escolas, explorar os elementos relacionados a esse contexto e apresentar uma visão abrangente sobre o tema. A metodologia empregada consistiu em uma revisão de literatura em base de dados, selecionando nove artigos entre 2019 e 2021 para análise. Esse processo envolveu uma etapa de pré-análise, seguida pela exploração minuciosa dos materiais e o tratamento dos resultados obtidos. Com o resultado da pesquisa, notou-se que a ausência de uma abordagem abrangente da educação sexual nas escolas revela lacunas na preparação dos educadores e na estrutura curricular, refletindo desafios na promoção de uma saúde sexual e reprodutiva adequada entre os adolescentes. Concluiu-se então que a educação sexual enfrenta desafios em diversos contextos, como a falta de diálogo entre pais e filhos, a escassez de tempo dedicado ao tema nas escolas e a pouca procura por orientação sexual na área da saúde. Essas lacunas ressaltam a urgência de espaços de discussão e orientação para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos adolescentes e suas famílias.

Authors: Akikol Rahime , Atmaca Demir Bahar , Zülfikar Haluk
Published: September 2024

The present study examines the key factors determining the quality of sound design in the post-production stage, the importance of which is often overlooked in Turkish film and television. To this end, we evaluate the technical infrastructure used by the industry, the quantitative aspects and competencies of professionals, as well as their needs and the problems they encounter. The “snowball sampling” technique was used to reach out to prominent professionals with whom in-depth interviews were conducted. The data obtained during the interviews were subjected to descriptive analysis, based on which the strengths and weaknesses of Turkish TV and cinema were examined. Although employees in the Turkish sector are no different from their peers in other countries in terms of their qualifications and technical abilities, the study reveals that the time and budget allocated to the visual aspects of film production in Türkiye are considerably above those allocated to sound design, and that responsibility for this matter lies with the director and producer. This study is important in terms of presenting findings about the sectoral situation of the sound design to the academic literature.

Silent Suffering: The Unspoken Reality of Male Rape
Authors: Mukherjee Anubhab
Published: September 2024

Sexual violence is a pervasive issue that transcends gender, age, and sexual orientation. While extensive research has shed light on crimes against women, there remains a significant gap in awareness regarding similar crimes committed against men. The term "man" carries connotations of power, masculinity, and emotional control, perpetuating societal beliefs that men are less emotionally expressive than women. This perception often deters men from disclosing their experiences of sexual violence, as it may be viewed as contradictory to traditional masculine norms. In a male-dominated society, speaking out about such experiences can be stigmatized as "feminine behaviour," further complicating efforts to address and support male survivors of sexual violence. Closing this awareness gap and challenging gender stereotypes are crucial steps towards creating a society where all survivors feel empowered to seek help and support, regardless of their gender.

Keywords: Sexual violence, Crimes, against men, Less emotionally expressive, Male survivors. .

Authors: Dilip Mukund Shubhangi , Suvarna S Ganvir , Harishchandre S Maheshwari
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Stroke is a major cause of short-term functional impairment in developed countries, in absence of adequate treatment and rehabilitation which can lead to significant long-term functional impairment. Stroke recovery is heterogeneous but usually follows a common pattern, in which the largest regain of function occurs during the first weeks poststroke.
So, objectives were to study the pattern of clinical recovery by using Brunnstrom recovery Stage (BRS) for Upper Limb, Hand and Lower limb, functional recovery by using Rivermead mobility index (RMI), Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM) and factors affecting functional recovery in patients with Stroke upto 6 months.
Methods: 46 patients with acute Stroke were recruited in a longitudinal study. Patient’s functionality was assessed using STREAM & RMI over time using different scales and BRS for clinical recovery at Baseline i.e., 0-8 days, 1 month, at 3 Months, at 6 Months after Stroke.
Result: STREAM upper limb (F – 4.84, p-0.003), RMI (F-12.27, p- <0.0001), BRS for Upper limb (F 4.56, p-0.004) showed very significant improvement from baseline to 6 months. STREAM Lower limb and Basic mobility (F- 8.49, p- <0.0001 and F- 13.55, p-<0.0001), BRS for lower limb (F-4.44, p-0.005) showed extremely significant improvement from baseline to 6 months
Conclusion: The study concluded that the Stroke severity, Cognitive ability, age, Gender, Disease awareness about Stroke affects functional recovery upto six months. Rapid recovery was observed during first 4 weeks and was also observed from 3 to 6 months after Stroke, but to a lesser extent.

The Role of Islamic Religious Education Teachers and Parents in Shaping the Character of Students at Mika Bakti Ciparay Junior High School
Authors: Aprilliana Marissa , Robiah Syadiah Amanda , Wulandari Shintya Rizky
Published: September 2024

Students today include Generation Z, who are considered a generation that needs special attention from teachers and parents compared to the previous generation because this generation is considered less independent, weak in fighting power and tends to be unstable and less focused on learning at school and at home and often has a bad attitude or is far from the order of Islamic religious values. This means that maximum guidance from Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers is needed in learning at school in synergy with attitude coaching by parents at home as the main environment in shaping students' character. The role of parents and religious teachers is very influential in the formation of students' character. This study aims to explore the role of Islamic Religious Education teachers and parents in shaping the character of Mika Bakti Ciparay Junior High School students. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach supported by primary and secondary data obtained through interviews and school documentation. The results of the research show that Islamic Religious Education teachers play an important role as an inspiration who provides examples, as informants who are in charge of conveying religious knowledge clearly and accurately; as a supervisor, providing direction and guidance in students' daily lives; also as a motivator who always encourages students to continue learning and developing themselves. On the other hand, parents play an important role as the main educator at home, instilling character education from an early age that always motivates, supports education and as a guide in the direction of life, also directs their children in good and responsible decision-making. PAI teachers and parents need close cooperation and synergy to foster and form students with strong and resilient characters who are in accordance with Islamic values (Islamic character).

Authors: Joshua Remlalliana
Published: September 2024

This study provides a deep insight into the factors contributing to air pollution in Guwahati, India. It suggests measures for policymakers and urban planners to develop air quality management plans to control air pollution, not only for the benefit of human health but also for all living beings and the environment. The deteriorating air quality in urban areas, particularly in rapid growing city possesses notable health risks and environmental challenges. The main reason for examining the AQI (Air Quality Index) is the profound effects on health and environmental well-being. This research has analysed the evaluation and prediction of air quality based on the dataset obtained from Kaggle for the period of 2015-2020, which includes data on ten pollutants: PM2.5, PM10, NO, NO2, NOx, NH3, CO, SO2, O3 and Benzene. Three models from ML (Machine Learning), viz. DT (Decision Tree), RF (Random Forest), KNN (K-Nearest Neighbors) have been used for prediction and forecasting the AQI and AQL (Air Quality Index Levels). Finally, it has been observed that the RF Classification showed the highest accuracy in forecasting the AQL and factors such as PM10, PM2.5 and NH3 have been identified as the primary factors in determining AQI rating in Guwahati.
Introduction to RG-Closed Type Sets in Topological Ordered Spaces
Authors: G. Sravani
Published: September 2024

This research paper presents a novel concept in the field of topological ordered spaces, which is the introduction of a new class of sets called "rg-closed sets". This new class of sets is formed by generalizing closed sets using rg-open sets in topological ordered spaces. Notably, rg-closed sets strictly lie between the classes of closed sets and rg-closed collections in topological ordered spaces. Additionally, the article also covers a discussion on rg* closed sets.
Heat Transfer Analysis of Bingham Fluid Flow in the Entrance Region of Concentric Annuli with Outer Cylinder Rotating
Authors: Gayathri devi Nangineni
Published: September 2024

The aim of this study is to analyze the heat transfer characteristics of Bingham fluid flow in the entrance region of concentric annuli, where the inner cylinder remains stationary and the outer cylinder is in rotation. This rotational motion of the outer cylinder induces the flow within the annular region. The governing equations for this flow are solved using a robust numerical technique known as the finite difference method. This investigation focuses on the transient expansion of thermal and hydrodynamic boundary layers within the concentric annuli, considering different boundary conditions: one section being isothermal while another is adiabatic. The outer cylinder is assumed to rotate at a constant angular velocity, while the inner cylinder is kept stationary. A finite difference analysis is employed to obtain velocity distributions, pressure drops, and temperature variations along the radial direction. Some of the observations are increase in the aspect ratio (M) leads to a corresponding rise in axial velocity for all examined Bingham number (B) variations and temperature is seen to rise as the Bingham numeral B  and aspect ratio M increases. This comparative analysis helps validate the current investigation's results and confirms their accuracy and reliability.

Investigating The Impact of Inflation on Inventory Systems: Time-Dependent Quadratic Demand, Time-Variable Deterioration, and Shortage
Authors: Renu Gautam
Published: September 2024

This paper describes the effect of inflation on an inventory system in which the deterioration rate of items is time-dependent and demand is a time-dependent quadratic function of time. Here, shortages are permitted with a partial backlogging rate with exponentially decreasing function. This research aims to determine the ideal ordering amount and optimize the inventory cost. The sensitivity analysis of the optimal solution for various parameters is carried out. Finally, the relationship between parameters and total inventory cost is shown in the figure.

On Total Coloring of Triple Star and Lobster Graphs
Authors: A. Punitha
Published: September 2024

A k-total coloring of a graph G is an assignment of k colors to the elements (vertices and edges) of G such that adjacent or incident elements have different colors. The total chromatic number is the smallest integer k for which G has a k-total coloring. The well-known Total Coloring Conjecture asserts that the total chromatic number of a graph is either ∆(G) + 1 or ∆(G) + 2, where ∆(G) is the maximum degree of G. In this paper, we consider the triple star graph, lobster graph and its line, middle, total graphs and also splitting graph of triple star.  We obtained the preceding graphs has total chromatic number equal to ∆(G) + 1.
Quantum Resistant Cryptosystem-Based Security Protocol for 5G Network
Authors: Hitesh T Loriya
Published: September 2024

Security is crucial for wireless communication networks, especially as quantum computing advances rapidly. It won’t be long before quantum attacks become feasible, potentially crippling large wireless networks within minutes. Current methods for securing connections and transactions—such as keys, certificates, and data—could be compromised by quantum computers. One concern is the use of fake base stations with stronger signal strengths to lure users into connecting with them in wireless communication network. A quantum-powered attacker could easily break traditional encryption algorithms and launch various attacks almost instantly. An example of this is the "bidding down" attack, where an attacker convinces both the user and network entities that security features are not upheld, despite their actual presence. This type of attack exploits the security weaknesses of older mobile networks. This paper explores security advancements and challenges related to contemporary public key cryptography, including RSA algorithms based on factorization and discrete logarithm problems with Diffie-Hellman and Elliptic-Curve Cryptography (ECC). While these methods provide adequate protection today, quantum computers could potentially break these algorithms or weaken cryptographic keys and hashes within minutes. Quantum cryptography, or quantum-resistant cryptography, objectives to develop algorithms and protocols resilient to quantum computing threats. This paper examines security vulnerabilities in wireless communication networks, focusing on key confirmation and authentication mechanisms. We propose a robust authentication and key agreement protocol for 5G networks using quantum-resistant cryptography. Our proposed protocol, verified with a verification tool, enhances the security of the authentication and key agreement procedures in wireless communication networks.
