Writing or reading? An incommensurable choice? [Language in Society]
Authors: Milani Tommaso M. , Ehrlich Susan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In this article, we reflect upon Wolfgang Klein’s provocative suggestion, in Writing or reading, but not both or: a proposal to reintroduce cuneiform writing using the hammer and chisel, that “every scientist” at universities or other research institutions “may and must publish exactly thirty pages a year.” In our view, Klein’s proposal to limit the number of pages each author should be allotted in a given year is comparable to a pill that treats the symptom but not the disease. Instead, we draw upon the ideas of American political theorist Nancy Fraser to argue for the need for a more radical transformation of the structures upon which the academic enterprise rests. Such a transformation would require (1) overhauling the underlying political-economic structure of academic labour relations, and (2) reconsidering what counts as a legitimate form of knowledge production. In saying so, we are also inspired by current theoretical debates about radical humanism and southern/decolonial perspectives to the sociology of language. Ultimately, we advocate for the need to disinvest from (1) individualism as a key principle of the academic project, at least in the humanities and the social sciences; and (2) the written word as the only medium for the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge. Such a proposal is underpinned by an emphasis on orality, the usage of other forms of representation, and the need for recognizing alternative ways of producing and disseminating (Indigenous) ways of being, knowing, and feeling.

Authors: Jeffreys Eleanor , Jenkinson Allan , Sikdar Oishi , Poole Grace , Dassios Theodore , Greenough Anne 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Prematurely born males compared to females have greater respiratory morbidiy in childhood, but differences in adolescents and young adults are less clear.

Content
A systematic review was undertaken to determine if there were sex differences in the lung function of prematurely born or very low birth weight born adolescents and adults

Summary
Seven of 1969 studies were included (766 infants). Three found no significant differences, but did not give raw lung function data. Four studies reported lung function data by sex. One found no significant differences and another only reported results for females, which were not lower than the controls. Another found males compared to females aged 16–19 years had lung function z scores indicating a more obstructive pattern [p<0.05]. The males, however, had significantly better exercise tolerance. The fourth reported worse lung function only in preterm born adult males.

Outlook
Male compared to female individuals born prematurely had worse lung function in adulthood, but only in two of seven studies, both reported results from patients born in the era of routine surfactant use. Further research is required to more robustly determine the effect of sex on lung function in adults born prematurely.

Abstract

Background
Osteosarcoma, a highly malignant skeletal tumor, primarily affects children and adolescents. Autophagy plays a crucial role in osteosarcoma pathophysiology. This study utilizes bibliometric analysis to evaluate current research on autophagy in osteosarcoma and forecast future directions.

Methods
We conducted a comprehensive search of publications in the Web of Science Core Collection database from January 1, 2008, to March 15, 2024. Tools like VOSviewer, CiteSpace, R software, Excel, and Scimago were used for analysis and visualization.

Results
Publications increased steadily over 17 years, indicating rising interest. Zhang Yuan was the most influential author, with Shanghai Jiao Tong University leading. Cell Death & Disease was the top journal. “HMGB1 Promotes Drug Resistance in Osteosarcoma” was the most cited paper. Co-cited articles focused on drug resistance, therapeutic targets, autophagy in cancer, and genomic impacts on immunotherapy. Keywords highlighted invasion, migration, cell death, and breast cancer as research hotspots. Future studies will likely focus on therapeutic innovations and integrated management strategies.

Conclusion
This bibliometric analysis offers an overview of current knowledge and emerging trends in autophagy and osteosarcoma, emphasizing key areas like invasion, migration, and cell death. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers developing novel therapies for osteosarcoma.
Judged by Robots: Preferences and Perceived Fairness of Algorithmic versus Human Punishments
Authors: Locci Irene , Massoni Sébastien 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Automated decision-making is increasingly prevalent, prompting discussions about AI replacing judges in court. This paper explores how machine-made sentencing decisions are perceived through an experimental study using a public good game with punishment. The study examines preferences for human versus automated punishers and the perceived fairness of penalties. Results indicate that rule violators prefer algorithmic punishment when penalty severity is uncertain and violations are significant. While human judges are typically reluctant to delegate, they are more likely to do this when they do not have discretion over the sanction level. Fairness perceptions are similar for both humans and algorithms, except when human judges choose a less severe penalty, which enhances perceived fairness.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus remains a global health concern, because of its associated complications, including diabetic nephropathy. Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea derivative, and rutin, a flavonoid with antioxidant properties, have shown potential in managing diabetic complications. This study was aimed at investigating the therapeutic efficacy of these treatments, individually or in combination, against streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic complications in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus).

Methods: Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of STZ at 55 mg/kg in Wistar rats of both sexes weighing 200–250 g. Rats with serum glucose (Glu) levels ≥250 mg/dL were selected for pharmacological assessment. The diabetic rats were divided into six groups, each comprising six rats, receiving the following treatments: GLP alone at 0.5 mg/kg, rutin alone at 50 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg, and combinations of GLP with rutin. Treatments were administered over 45 days. Physiological parameters, serum markers (including Glu and lipid profiles), inflammatory cytokines, renal hypertrophy, oxidative stress markers, and histopathological changes in kidney tissues were evaluated to assess treatment effects.

Result: Significant improvements were observed in rats treated with GLP, rutin, or both, including decreased diabetes-induced weight loss, and increased glycemic control with lower serum Glu levels. Favorable changes in lipid profiles and significant decreases in inflammatory cytokines indicated systemic improvements. Moreover, the treatments markedly decreased renal hypertrophy, thus suggesting enhanced renal function. Histopathological analysis indicated that combination therapy, compared with individual treatments, markedly decreased tubular dilation and preserved renal architecture, thus highlighting synergistic benefits in managing diabetic complications, particularly diabetic nephropathy.

Conclusion: Our findings suggest that GLP and rutin, individually or in combination, hold promise in managing diabetic nephropathy, according to an STZ-induced diabetic rat model. The combination therapy demonstrated synergistic benefits, particularly in preserving renal architecture and decreasing tubular dilation. These results highlight a potential therapeutic strategy for alleviating diabetes-induced renal complications, and emphasize the importance of exploring combined approaches in diabetic management to enhance treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.
DEBT FINANCING AND PERFORMANCE OF MANUFACTURING COMPANIES IN NIGERIA
Authors: E. O. Efemena , C.I. Augustine 
Published: December 2024

Certain companies have accumulated substantial debt that surpasses their net gains, which has a negative impact on their performance and investor trust. Consequently, this can ultimately end in complete collapse and even lead to closures. Based on the above corporate challenges this study examines into the effect of debt financing on performance of manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The study employed the descriptive survey design. The secondary panel data was sourced audited financial statement of selected manufacturing firms in Nigeria from the period of 2019-2022. The panel regression technique was employed to determine the relationship and magnitude of impact between the dependent variables and independent variables. The Hausman test was employed in taking decision from the pooled effect, fixed effect and random effect model. The findings from objective one revealed that short term debt has negative significant effect on return on equity at (β:-0.23: p<0.05) while long-term debt has positive significant effect on return on equity at (β: 0.10: p<0.05). Objective two revealed that long-term debt and debt ratio has negative significant effect on earnings per share at (β:-1.57: p<0.05) and (β:-42.73: p<0.05). The study recommended that manufacturing companies should aim to reduce reliance on short-term debt, as it negatively impacts return on equity (ROE) due to higher interest rates and repayment pressures. Instead, companies should consider increasing long-term debt, which positively affects ROE by providing stable, lower-cost financing over extended periods. A balanced debt structure, with strategic use of long-term financing, can help firms enhance profitability while maintaining financial flexibility and managing risks effectively.

Published: December 2024

This article aims to analyze the organizational and operational particularities of the Local Police Service in the commune of Şcheia. Confronted with numerous issues related to public order and safety, the local administration in Şcheia was compelled to establish a public service to deter, halt, and prevent criminal acts that endangered the safety of its residents. By examining specific indicators related to activities for preventing and combating offenses and crimes, crime detection and sanctioning, and collaboration with other institutions, this article demonstrates that the Local Police Service in Şcheia serves as a positive model for a public service created to fulfill the public interest of a local community. Although the establishment of this local police service required a significant financial commitment, it has proven to be a long-term solution for stabilizing and enhancing citizen safety and for protecting public and private property within the administrative area (UAT).
Analysis of Cayenne Pepper Fruit (Capsicum frutescens) in Inhibiting HMG-CoA Reductase Activity as a Treatment for Hypercholesterolemia
Authors: La Ode Muh. Albar  , Tien  , Amiruddin Eso  
Published: December 2024

Background: Hypercholesterolemia is a major cause of cardiovascular disease and its incidence continues to increase. Statins are a group of hypercholesterolemic therapies known to trigger various side effects; therefore, statin alternatives need to be investigated. The cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens) contains secondary metabolites that inhibit the activity of cholesterol-forming enzymes (HMG-CoA reductase). Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the ability of C. frutescens fruit to inhibit HMG-CoA reductase activity to prevent hypercholesterolemia. Methods: This was a true experimental study using a posttest-only control group design. The independent variables were n-hexane, methanol, and ethanol extracts of C. frutescens fruit, each with a concentration of 0.01%, with HMG-CoA reductase activity as the dependent variable. Enzymatic activity was measured enzymatically using spectrometry. Results: The mean values of % inhibition from n-hexane, methanol, and ethanol extracts of C. frutescens and pravastatin were 95.74%, 104.70%, 100.11%, and 99.27%, respectively. The average specific activities of n-hexane, methanol, and ethanol extracts of C. frutescens and pravastatin were 0.5765, 0.6029, 0.5513, and 0.5716 units/mgP, respectively. There was a significant difference between the sample groups in the inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase activity. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity was highest in the methanol extract, followed by the n-hexane extracts. The activity of these extracts was higher than that of pravastatin alone. Conclusion: The methanol extract showed the best inhibitory activity. C. frutescens has been shown to have great potential in inhibiting the activity of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase and preventing hypercholesterolemia.

Authors: Moenadjat Yefta 
Published: December 2024

Highlights:

Early cleft repair benefits patients by reconstructing near-normal lip anatomy that persists after ten to fifteen years.
The early procedure did not result in muscular or maxillary hypoplasia in long-term follow-ups; rather, development occurred in tandem with normal growth.

Abstract:
Introduction: Published reports on the long-term outcomes of cleft lip surgery within the Indonesian population are limited, especially for those treated early in the neonatal period. This study presents follow-up data on early-managed cases, aiming to objectively evaluate the long-term results of such management.
Case Illustration: A newborn with a complete unilateral cleft lip and palate had surgery on day two, achieving a symmetrical lip and nasal base. At 12 months, cleft palate surgery was performed. Fifteen years later, the patient sought a lip revision, expressing satisfaction with the results and opting against further procedures. Case 2: Another newborn with an incomplete cleft underwent surgery on day five, followed by palate repair at 12 months. Ten years later, the parents reported satisfaction with the outcomes and no desire for further revisions.
Discussion: The discussion focused on the merit of early management and no negative impact on muscular and maxillary growth.
Conclusion: The positive effects of early management through muscle management were observed in the long-term follow-up, as shown in these two reported cases.

Authors: Bolly Hendrikus Masang Ban , Trajanus Laurens Yembise  
Published: December 2024

Highlights:

This study provides insights on helmet compliance among motorcyclists in Jayapura City to help prevent head injuries.
The analysis shows non-compliance with helmets, especially on the Jayapura Ring Road, where up to four people ride a single motorbike.
Consequently, accidents causing head injuries result in greater health and humanitarian impacts.

Abstract:
Introduction: Compliance with helmet use by motorcycle riders and passengers passing through the highway is one of the important factors in preventing craniofacial injuries and head injury. This study designed to survey and evaluate the compliance with helmet use among motorcyclists and passengers on the ring road in Jayapura City.
Methods: This time-based survey study observed compliance with helmet use by motorcycle riders and passengers passing through the Jayapura city ring road for 14 days of observation at three-time orders (morning, afternoon, and evening). Analysis of the collected data was carried out descriptively.
Results: The results showed that during the study period, there were 6,411 motorcycles passing through, 18,602 motorcycle passers-by were at moderate risk of injury due to not wearing helmets (MR-IV) and 11,849 were at high risk (HR-II). The peak of non-compliance with helmet use occurred in the afternoon period (T3). The results showed that 71.92% of the HR-V group did not obey helmet use; 184.82% of the HR-II group did not obey helmet use. While non-compliance with helmet use in the MR-IV group even reached 290.15%.
Conclusion: Helmet use compliance among motorcycle riders and passengers on the Jayapura Ring Road is low, increasing their risk of head injuries in accidents. This highlights the need for strategies to reduce helmet non-compliance in Jayapura City. The study focuses on one of the busiest routes, and further research is needed to assess helmet compliance on other busy routes in the city for a more comprehensive understanding.
GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF FORMATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF GAS-GEOCHEMICAL FIELDS IN BOTTOM SEDIMENTS OF THE LAPTEV-SIBERIAN SEA ZONE OF THE EAST ARCTIC SHELF
Authors: Gresov A.I. , Yatsuk A.V. 
Published: December 2024

Gas composition of bottom sediments of the Laptev-Siberian Sea geostructural zone (LSZ) was determined to include: helium and hydrogen in concentrations of 0.0028–0.2092 and 0.0012–0.8727 cm3/kg, hydrogen sulfide – 0.0006–0.0072, carbon monoxide – 0.0016–0.0577, carbon dioxide – 0.1482–21.1602, methane – 0.0017–8.3047 and its homologues (in total) – 0.00001–0.0355 cm3/kg. It was found that the values of average concentrations of gases in bottom sediments increase with the depth of their occurrence and exceed the anomaly criteria identified for the East Arctic shelf by 2.6–27.7 times, including: CO2, CO and H2S – by 2.6, 3.0 and 3.4 times, ΣC2–C5 and He – by 9.3 and 10.8 times, CH4 – by 27.7 times; this actually indicates a high degree of gas saturation of bottom sediments of the region. The formation of CO2, CO, H2S, H2, CH4 and ΣC2–C5 anomalies in sediments of the upper and the base of the middle sampling horizon is determined by relatively high contents of sapropelic and humic organic matter and gas influx from the lower horizon. Distribution of anomalies with maximum concentrations of natural gases and He in sediments of the lower horizon, with minimum contents of Corg, is associated with zones of faults, large dislocations, tectono-magmatic and seismic activity, which are the main routes of diffusion-migration of gas transfer to bottom sediments. Formation of concentrations of gases and their anomalies in sediments of the LSZ follows the rules of additivity, i.e. successive accumulation of migratory natural gases of different genesis with prevalence of gas phase and isotopic indicators of more gas-saturated parental source, epigenetic and syngenetic to sediments. It was found that maximum values of average gas saturation with CH4, ΣС2–С5, He and H2 in LSZ are typical for bottom sediments of the flanks of troughs, CO and CO2 – for the arch parts of uplifts. In sediments of monoclinal folds (structural terraces), minimal values of average gas saturation are observed, with the exception of the South Anyui Fault Zone. In general, gas saturation of LSZ sediments is determined by the complex impact of geological factors, with the major ones being: gas content of rock complexes and gas saturation of underlying sediments, fault and fold tectonics, a high degree of tectono-magmatic and seismic activity, a geostructural position, coal content, oil and gas content, as well as the depth of occurrence, organic saturation and material composition of OM in bottom sediments. The influence of the latter predetermined the formation and distribution of five geochemical fields of CH4, three of CO, ΣС2–С5, He and one of CO2, and one of H2 in LSZ.

Abstract

Background mobile phone addiction and mental health problems have become increasingly prominent among left-behind adolescents in China. In recent years, some studies have focused on the important role of parent-child relationship and psychological resilience. Therefore, this study aims to explore the multidimensional relationships among resilience, mental health, and mobile phone addiction among left-behind adolescents, and to assess the impact of parent-child conflict level on these relationships.Methods The Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18), the Chinese version of the Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI), the Resilience Scale for Children and Adolescents (RSCA), and the Parent-Child Conflict Scale were used to investigate 2,100 left-behind adolescents in Sichuan Province, and R was run to make network analysis and network comparison.Results (1) A structurally stable network relationship exists between left-behind adolescents' resilience, mental health, and mobile phone addiction; (2) BSI3 (Anxiety) is the most important node of the network model, followed by MPAI1 (the inability to control cravings subscale); (3) MPAI1 (the inability to control cravings subscale) and RSCA4 (family support) are key to connect resilience, mental health, and smartphone addiction in the study sample; (4) There was a significant difference in the network structure between the high- and low-level groups of parent-child conflict, no significant difference in the global strength of the network, and a significant difference in the centrality of strength and the centrality of bridge strength.Conclusions Chinese left-behind adolescents' resilience and mental health, mobile phone addiction are both independent and interact with each other to some extent. Specifically, high centrality dimensions such as anxiety, the inability to control cravings, and family support can be prioritised for intervention in related treatments, or reducing parent-child conflict and enhancing resilience to mitigate mobile phone addiction among left-behind adolescents, thus improving their mental health.
