TEACHERS’ STRATEGIES IN ENHANCING` STUDENTS’ INTEREST IN READING USING DIGITAL MEDIA IN SMA ADHYAKSA 1 JAMBI
Authors: Rafid Kevin Khosiyi , Heryanti Reni , Fortunasari Fortunasari 
Published: February 2025

Based on the results of the 2021 National Assessment (NA), show that Indonesia is experiencing a literacy emergency. This is because 1 out of 2 students has not reached the minimum literacy competency. This research aimed to explore the challenges or barriers faced by teachers in increasing students' reading interest using digital media and to explore their strategies to overcome the barriers. The participant of this research is an English teacher from SMA Adhyaksa 1 Jambi, which was selected based on several criteria. In this research, a descriptive qualitative method was applied, in which the researcher attempts to draw in as much detail as possible the data and facts collected in the field. A semi-structured interview was conducted to collect the main data, and documentation in the form of photos when observing the research location was carried out to support the data. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using an interactive analysis model. The findings revealed that barriers faced by the teacher in integrating digital media into teaching include constraints in supporting facilities and adapting to student's understanding of using digital media. Meanwhile, there are three strategies employed by the teacher, namely making preparations before the start of learning, providing material relevant to daily life, and using relevant digital media to enhance students' reading interest. Overall, this research shows several barriers faced by teachers in integrating digital media with learning to increase students' reading interest and highlights the strategies implemented by teachers to overcome these problems. Thus, it is suggested for future researchers who are interested in this field to find research gaps and use this research as a reference or comparison.
Linguistic Indecision. The Case Study of the SUPERlative
Authors: Sporiş Valerica 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This research paper aims to identify and explain the ways in which the superlative comprising the prefixoid super- is spelled in current sports journalese. The absolute superlative renders the highest intensity of a quality, it has a non-comparative character ([+Intensity], [–Comparison]) and an increased productivity. I opted for the analysis of the language used in sports journalese, as this field is characterised by competition. In order to attract the readers’ attention, the journalists have the tendency to exaggerate and to this end they use intensifiers excessively. One of the ideas I started from in my research was to identify which terms, structures, pronunciations can or cannot be considered as deviations from the norm/mistakes. I will pay heed to the norms in force, as well as to the incontestable deviations from those norms. For this research I analysed contexts which comprise super as a prefixoid – an element which is used in the formation of a new word separated from the main word by a hyphen or linked to the main word, on the one hand, and super as a separate word, on the other hand. The analysis is based on a corpus which comprises articles containing words or structures with the element super. The articles in the corpus were retrieved from the website www.sport.ro® and they were published in the period January 1st - July 31st 2023. In this research I analysed the degree to which the rule regarding the spelling of compounds comprising prefixoids is respected in current sports journalese or whether there is a tendency of formal (semi-) autonomy of super as a means of expressing the absolute superlative. In order to obtain a clear picture of the linguistic phenomenon under scrutiny in this article I combined both modern and traditional methods of research.
The Controversies of “Feminine” Etiquette in Romanian Literature – Between Isolation and Belonging
Authors: Minculete Iunis 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Gender stereotyping strongly impacted the evolution of Romanian women writers when they started to assert themselves in literature towards the end of the nineteenth century and in the first decades of the twentieth century. The scholars of that time used the term “feminine” to define women’s literary works, which contributed to widen the gap between them and their counterparts. Women’s literature was considered sentimental, instinctual, modest, and delicate, as its value was seen through the lens of their social roles. This paper aims to illustrate how the social stereotypes dictated the scholars’ approach to women’s literature and to highlight the controversies revolving around the use of the feminine as a coined term for their literary works.
Reintroduction of small game by hunters as an element of shaping biodiversity
Authors: Flis Marian , Rytlewski Grzegorz 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study addresses the issue of small game populations, which have shown a significant decline in numbers over the last decades. Populations of hares, pheasants and partridges are subject to hunting management by hunters in changing environmental and legal conditions. Hunting management of individual species based on the annual assessment of their numbers allows for optimizing management activities regarding decisions on shooting, limiting or suspending hunting, and possible reintroduction of animals in areas where populations are at risk. These activities also include planning and intensifying the fight against game predators, one of the critical ecosystem elements influencing the described species’ population dynamics. It should be noted that over the last decade, the involvement of hunters in the repopulation of natural ecosystems with small game has decreased. This is due both to economic factors related to the operation of hunting clubs and to increasing fees for hunting, as well as cyclical legal difficulties. Nevertheless, no group other than hunters has been undertaking and continuing the described initiatives for many years. However, on a smaller scale, they are perfectly in line with the protection and development of biodiversity.

Abstract

Introduction
Endocarditis is a pathology which is rarely encountered in clinical practice that presents itself in various manners, thus posing a great challenge for the clinician in the process of formulating a timely diagnosis, especially given its potentially lethal evolution. The diagnosis of infective endocarditis is based on Modified Duke Criteria. A wide array of complications may accompany endocarditis, including septic or thrombotic emboli to various territories – those occluding branches of cerebral arteries result in ischemic strokes, which may be demonstrated by brain imaging and the symptoms which may range from mild mental status alteration to deep coma. Objective: Assessment of brain imaging as a diagnostic tool for bacterial endocarditis.

Materials and methods
This is a nested case-control study, in which 84 patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled, half of them having endocarditis related stroke (cases), and the other half stroke due to cardioembolism from other sources or to large-artery atherosclerosis (controls).

Results
Brain imaging revealed statistically significant differences between the two cohorts, endocarditis related stroke being more strongly associated with multiple territories involvement, multiple lesions coexistence, watershed lesions, and a greater extent of ischemia all these may serve as valuable diagnostic clues. Among these findings, the presence of multiple lesions has been the most sensitive tool (Sn = 0.786, Sp = 0.857, LR+ = 5.497, LR− = 0.25), while the involvement of multiple arterial territories had the highest specificity and positive likelihood ratio for endocarditis-related stroke (Sn = 0.738, Sp = 0.929, LR+ = 10.394, LR− = 0.282). A larger ischemic lesion as quantified by pc-ASPECTS score (more than by the ASPECTS score) also increases the likelihood of endocarditis as the cause of ischemic stroke, with an AUROC of 0.7361 (95% CI 0.629–0.843).

Conclusions
Early brain imaging could play a crucial role in endocarditis, helping the clinician to suspect this diagnosis. Further studies are needed to understand the role of early brain imaging when Modified Duke Criteria fail to establish the diagnosis.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Choanal atresia is a congenital condition characterized by the obstruction of the posterior nasal apertures. It can present as unilateral or bilateral and is associated with significant morbidity, particularly in neonates. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the diagnosis and management of choanal atresia. We discuss the epidemiology, etiology, and pathogenesis, emphasizing the developmental and genetic factors involved. Clinical presentation varies with age, and diagnosis typically involves a combination of clinical examination and imaging techniques. Management strategies have evolved, with a focus on surgical intervention. Various surgical techniques, including transnasal endoscopic and transpalatal approaches, are explored. Postoperative care and long-term outcomes are critical components of patient management. We also address current controversies in treatment and future directions for research. Understanding choanal atresia’s complexities is essential for improving patient outcomes and advancing therapeutic options.

Purpose. Determination of the possibility of using kidney segmentation to obtain data on their volume and density characteristics to assess the split renal function.Material and methods. The data of 31 patients who underwent nephroscintigraphy and CT examination of the kidneys with contrast were analyzed. Segmentation of both kidneys into the nephrographic phase of contrast was performed at the workstation using the Vitrea Advanced Visualization program. The obtained values of the volume were multiplied at the attenuation coefficient of X-ray radiation in Hounsfield units (HU) for each kidney to obtain the "mass" of the contrast preparation. Having divided the obtained value of each kidney by their sum value and multiplying by 100%, we obtained a split contribution of each kidney to their total excretory function in percentages. To verify the need to introduce parenchymal density into calculations in the native phase of the study, the density of the parenchyma of both kidneys was measured at three levels in the native phase, then, the calculated arithmetic mean was subtracted from the average density of the renal parenchyma in the nephrographic phase. Subsequently, the same calculations were performed to obtain the percentage contribution of the kidneys as before deducting the native density. Nephroscintigraphy was performed in various medical institutions. Studies were conducted with technetium compounds (99mTc). For further analysis, data on the percentage contribution of each kidney to their overall excretory function were taken.Results. The obtained data on the percentage contribution of the kidneys to their total excretory function obtained by nephroscintigraphy were compared with the calculated CT data. The analysis showed a very high correlation and covariance of these results (the correlation coefficient is 0.99 (p < 0.001), the covariance coefficient is 0.95 (p < 0.001)). When conducting a correlation analysis of the results of nephroscintigraphy with CT data, where an additional correction was made for the native density of parenchyma (it was subtracted from the average density of parenchyma in the nephrographic phase), the results remained the same: the correlation coefficient was 0.99 (p < 0.001); the covariance coefficient was 0.95 (p < 0.001).Conclusions. An accessible and practical method for evaluating split renal function has been developed. The method does not require the implementation of a clearly regulated time protocol for multiphase CT. CT data performed in any medical institution can be evaluated. The method does not require additional assessment of the native densitometric characteristics of the kidneys. The results obtained using the method showed a very high correlation with the data of dynamic nephroscintigraphy.

Oscillation and Convergence of Solutions of Second Order Neutral Differential Equations with Periodic Coefficients
Authors: Neghmish Adyar Kamel , Mohamad Hussain Ali 
Published: February 2025

This research aims to study the behavior of solutions of second-order neutral differential equations with periodic coefficients. Some necessary and sufficient conditions have been obtained that classify all solutions of these equations into three categories: either oscillatory, non-oscillatory, and convergent to zero, or non-oscillatory and divergent. The extent to which periodic coefficients influence the occurrence of oscillation, convergence, or divergence for each solution has been explained. The equation under consideration contained a variable delay and a constant delays in which the coefficients are periodic. Not much previous research has discussed the oscillation of solutions of second-order neutral equations with periodic coefficients. In each case, some illustrative examples have been provided that illustrate the ease of achieving the conditions for the obtained results.
Impact of Peganin Alkaloids from Harmala Plant as Inhibitor for Hyaluronidase Enzyme Produced by Staphylococcus Bacteria
Authors: Fayyad Sara , Majeed Majid 
Published: February 2025

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that primarily breaks down hyaluronic acid, thereby disrupting the structural integrity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) found in connective tissues, which is considered a virulence factor. Peganum is a genus of plants in the family Nitrariaceae that contains a number of alkaloids, including harmaline and harmine, which have been used in traditional medicine. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a plant-active compound (peganin) isolated from a plant sample as an inhibitor of hyaluronidase. In total, 120 samples were randomly isolated from infected burns. Isolates with highly hydrolyzed zones were identified. The Turbidity Reduction Assay was used to assess cell growth and hyaluronidase activity spectrophotometrically. The results showed that (100) out of 120 clinical samples grew bacteria when cultured on a blood agar medium. Also, it was discovered that, out of the 100 isolates, 56 (56%) belonged to S. aureus and had an inhibitory zone of Hyaluronidase range of 5-26mm; the inhibitory zone was increasing over time.
In vitro and Molecular Study of Synergistic Impact of Eugenol and Fosfomycin against Clinically-isolated, Fosfomycin-Resistant Escherichia coli
Authors: Ibrahim Ali Attaallah , Mohammed Rana Kadhim 
Published: February 2025

Antibiotic resistance is a significant problem for which new treatments are required. There is growing concern about Fosfomycin resistance in Escherichia coli; understanding this resistance will help develop effective treatment strategies and preserve the efficacy of antibiotics. This study aimed to investigate the synergistic effects of Eugenol and Fosfomycin against Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) and their possible potential as co-treatment. This study identified and isolated UPEC isolates from urine samples, with 63.6% being identified as UPEC. Antibiotic susceptibility tests showed that 99.3% of the UPEC isolates were resistant to multiple types of antibiotics [multidrug-resistant (MDR)]. The study examined the antibacterial properties of Fosfomycin and Eugenol using the parameters of agar well diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI), and time-kill curves. The MIC for Fosfomycin was 512-1024 µg/mL and for Eugenol was 1.25-5 µg/mL, while the MBC for Eugenol was 5-10 µg/mL and for Fosfomycin was 2048 µg/mL. Synergistic effects were considerable, where the addition of Eugenol at 1/4 MIC concentration resulted in 1/8 MIC of Fosfomycin. . The highest bactericidal activity for most UPEC isolates was recorded at 4-8 hours using Eugenol, 8-12 hours using Fosfomycin, and 4-8 hours using co-treatment. The study also used molecular assays to identify the expression levels of Fosfomycin resistance genes (murA, glpT, and cyaA) under different treatments, which revealed positive espression in all the isolates. The results showed variable gene expression changes in response to the different treatments. In conclusion, this study shows that Eugenol and Fosfomycin co-treatment is effective against UPEC.

Authors: Andrabi Waseem , Singh Sushil Kumar , Makker Girish Chandra , Kumari Krity , Hashmi Tabassum , Makker Renu , Malik Sonia 
Published: February 2025

Objectives
To evaluate the hormonal profiles, specifically focusing on gonadotropins (FSH, LH) and testosterone levels (Total, free and Percentage free Testosterone), in infertile males (oligozoospermia and azoospermia) compared to fertile controls, and which of these hormones provide a better clinical relevance during evaluation of male reproductive health.

Material and Methods
Study design-A retrospective study in which a total of 250 infertile male patients were studied and categorized into: 172 patients with oligozoospermia (68.8%), 78 patients with azoospermia (31.2%) and 52 fertile males included as a control group (proven fertile males). Blood samples were collected from all participants to measure serum levels of Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), Estradiol, Prolactin Total testosterone, Free testosterone and Percentage Free testosterone along with controls and a comparison of hormonal levels between infertile patients (both oligozoospermic and azoospermic) and the control group was performed using appropriate statistical methods to check significance.

Results
Significant differences were observed in the levels of FSH, LH, free testosterone, and percentage free testosterone between the oligozoospermic and azoospermic patients when compared to the control fertile group. However, no significant differences were found in estradiol, prolactin, and total testosterone levels between the oligozoospermic and azoospermic patients compared to the control fertile males.

Conclusion
The study highlights the critical role of hormones in male fertility. The significant alteration in FSH, LH, free testosterone levels and percentage free testosterone levels in infertile men suggests that hormonal evaluation is crucial for understanding and diagnosing male infertility. Anomalies in these hormones may contribute to the pathophysiology of spermatogenic dysfunctions, emphasizing the importance of endocrine function in male reproductive health.
Ovarian Response Prediction Index (ORPI) as a Predictor Tool for Ovarian Response and Clinical Pregnancy in IVF/ICSI Cycle: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Arora Shweta , Nayar Kanad Dev , Sanan Sabina , Sethi Ankita , Kant Gaurav , Sachdeva Manika , Singh Ananya 
Published: February 2025

Objectives
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles employ different ovarian stimulation protocols to promote follicle development and boost the number of embryos. Anticipating ovarian response is crucial for maximising treatment effectiveness and minimising complications from under- or over-stimulation. Age, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), and antral follicle count (AFC) are well-known assessors of ovarian response, which makes them established predictors of ovarian response. The Ovarian Response Prediction Index (ORPI) combines these factors to provide a more tailored approach to stimulation protocols, potentially enhancing IVF success rates.

Material and Methods
It was a retrospective cohort study that included 302 patients undergoing IVF/ICSI cycles between March 2021 and March 2023. Patients aged < 39 years, with a body mass index (BMI) of 20–30 kg/m², regular menstrual cycles, and no history of ovarian surgery or severe endometriosis were included. AMH levels were measured using chemiluminescent immunoassay, and AFC was assessed by transvaginal ultrasound. ORPI was calculated as (AMH × AFC)/age. Outcomes included total retrieved oocytes, metaphase II (MII) oocytes, and clinical pregnancy rates.

Results
Strong positive correlations were found between ORPI and both total oocytes (r = 0.714, p < 0.0001) and MII oocytes (r = 0.746, p < 0.0001). Univariate logistic regression indicated that age, AMH, AFC, and ORPI were significant predictors of obtaining ≥ 4 oocytes and MII oocytes (p < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that ORPI has excellent discriminative ability for predicting ≥4 oocytes (AUC = 0.907), ≥4 MII oocytes (AUC = 0.937), and clinical pregnancy (AUC = 0.822), with optimal cutoff values established.

Conclusion
ORPI, which combines age, AMH, and AFC, strongly predicts ovarian response and clinical pregnancy in IVF/ICSI cycles. It can help formulate personalised ovarian stimulation protocols, potentially enhancing patient counselling and treatment outcomes.
