Authors: Ibrahim Nimat Mohammed , Smko Nada Malko , Maulood Ismail 
Published: October 2024

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between hematological parameters and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Materials and Methods: This case-control study included 50 patients with DM and 50 healthy controls. Blood samples were collected from all participants to measure various hematological parameters and serum glucose, insulin, and HbA1c levels. Homeostatic Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated to evaluate insulin resistance. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the results between the groups and to determine the correlation between hematological parameters and glycemic control. Results: The results showed that serum glucose, insulin, HbA1c, serum potassium, RDW, platelet count, and MID were significantly increased in the DM group compared to the control group, while MCV was significantly decreased. The correlation analysis showed that MID, platelet count, PCT count, and PDW were positively correlated with serum glucose, HbA1c, and HOMA-IR, while MCV was negatively correlated with serum glucose and HbA1c. RBC count, RDW, and PCV were positively correlated with HbA1c and HOMA-IR. Conclusions: The study found that DM type II patients had elevated serum glucose, insulin, HOMA IR, and HbA1C levels, as well as increased serum potassium and MID-range absolute count, and decreased MCV but increased RDW. Platelet count, PCT count, and PDW were positively correlated with serum glucose, HbA1C, and HOMA IR. These hematological parameters may serve as useful markers for assessing glycemic control and insulin resistance in DM type II patients.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. With His help, we seek assistance, and in Him, we put our trust. He is the Most Merciful of all. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, sent as a mercy to all worlds, and upon his family, companions, and spouse, with abundant salutations until the Day of Judgment. Every matter has a guiding principle, and similarly, every language has sources it relies upon and draws from. Undoubtedly, the most important sources of the Arabic language are the Quran, the Prophetic Hadiths, and the poetry and sayings of the Arabs. The use of the Quran as evidence holds significant importance, serving as a source from which all branches of Arabic studies have drawn, whether it be linguistic dictionaries, books of interpretation (Tafsir), grammar, rhetoric, literature, or other areas within the various sciences of Arabic. This is because the Quran is considered the primary source in all these fields. Linguists have used the Quran from two perspectives:

As a source to validate the accuracy of a linguistic term, grammatical structure, or a specific dialect of the Arabic language. It is a crucial reference for determining the correctness of meanings related to the sciences of Arabic. Its benefit is vast, whether at the level of individual Quranic words or syntactic structures, even down to phonological aspects, where Quranic words act as guiding lights for the interpretation and clarification of many language terms.
It helps in determining the meanings of numerous Arabic terms, as the Quran is rich in linguistic expressions. In the interpretation of the Quran itself, the primary approach to understanding the meaning of Quranic terms is through the interpretation of the Quran by the Quran.This study includes several key topics, such as the meaning and significance of using evidence, its sources, the importance of citing the Quran, Quranic readings, and how linguists have benefited from citing the Quran and its readings. It also discusses the difference between Quranic readings and the Quran as a whole, especially in terms of their use as evidence in the sciences of Arabic. With this, we ask for Allah's guidance. Our Lord, accept this from us
Indeed, you are the Hearing, the Knowing. (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:127).
Les dessous « bienveillants » de la photographie animalière de Harry Whittier Frees
Authors: Lavoie Vincent 
Published: October 2024

L’Américain Harry Whittier Frees (1879-1953) est connu pour ses clichés mettant en scène de jeunes animaux costumés. Chatons, chiots, lapereaux, porcelets sont photographiés grimés dans des saynètes drolatiques de la quotidienneté humaine (tâches ménagères, activités d’étude, de divertissement et de socialisation, etc.). Frees a publié ses images sous la forme de cartes postales, mais également dans des ouvrages pédagogiques destinés aux enfants (Kittens and Cats, 1911; The Little Folks of Animal Land, 1915; Animal Land on the Air, 1929; Four Little Kittens, 1934). Ces représentations s’inscrivent certes dans une longue tradition illustrative misant sur l’anthropomorphisation du monde animal à des fins didactiques et morales. Elles soulèvent toutefois des enjeux éthiques et éthologiques spécifiques à la photographie d’animaux vivants. De cela, Frees avait pleinement conscience. C’est pourquoi il publiait dans les pages liminaires de ses livres des avis assurant parents et enseignants de sa bienveillance envers les animaux. C’est à l’étude de ces « avertissements » à l’attention des adultes que cet article est consacré.
Enfants d’images : photographie, enfance et universalisme dans les années 1950 en France
Authors: Blanc-Marianne Guillaume 
Published: October 2024

Le champ photographique français considère, à partir des années 1950, être entré dans la « civilisation de l’image ». La photographie permettrait de faire tomber les barrières des langues naturelles pour faire enfin advenir un monde entièrement pacifié, basé sur une entente cordiale entre les peuples et les nations. En son sein, la figure de l’enfant constitue une cible privilégiée : comme l’indique Photo-Monde (1956), ce sont bien eux qui seront les « hommes de demain ». Question d’éducation donc, car les enfants d’aujourd’hui parleront la langue photographique de demain et la justifieront ; mais aussi question d’idéologie, car, toujours selon les mêmes acteurs, l’enfant, dans sa supposée innocence primitive, serait l’incarnation de l’universalisme qui accompagne nécessairement la « civilisation de l’image ».
Les métaphores perceptuelles dans la culture du remix
Authors: Pal Gyöngyi 
Published: October 2024

L’article remet en cause la fonction des photographies dans les imagiers que Bettina Kümmerling‑Meibauer désigne par le terme anglais « early-concept books » et qui combinent des dessins et des clichés. Dans les imagiers de Kata Pap, les objets photographiés sont détournés par le dessin. Cette utilisation métaphorique va à l’encontre de l’usage objectif, réaliste et factuel, fonction primaire et objectif pédagogique assignés à la photographie. L’article interroge les études récentes en psychologie pour mettre au clair le rôle de la perception visuelle dans la formulation de concepts précoces, ainsi que le(s) rôle(s) de la photographie dans ce processus. L’utilisation détournée de la photographie semble une pratique contemporaine étendue dans le domaine de l’illustration de la littérature jeunesse. L’étude parcourt ce phénomène entre autres à travers l’oeuvre de Tineke Meirink et de Tomi Ungerer pour cerner le rôle des métaphores perceptuelles dans la culture du remix.

Published: October 2024

Background
The interplay between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and thyroid dysfunction is becoming more evident in the biomedical community. However, the intricacies of their relationship warrant deeper investigation to understand the clinical implications fully.

Objective
This study aims to systematically evaluate the correlation between thyroid hormone levels, including thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4), and markers of renal disease severity. These markers include serum creatinine, urea, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in individuals diagnosed with CK).

Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional observational study involving a cohort of 86 participants with CKD recruited from the renal clinic at King Fahad Hospital in Tabuk. Biochemical parameters, encompassing plasma electrolytes and thyroid hormone concentrations, were quantitatively assessed. These measurements were performed with the aid of a Roche Cobas E411 analyzer. The Pearson correlation coefficient was employed to delineate the strength and direction of the associations between the thyroid function markers and renal disease indicators.

Results
The statistical analysis highlighted a generally weak correlation between the concentrations of thyroid hormones and the indicators of renal disease severity, with Pearson correlation coefficients between −0.319 and 0.815. Critically, no significant correlation was found between creatinine and thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4), nor was any substantial correlation between urea and thyroid hormones. Conversely, a robust positive correlation was noted between the levels of parathyroid hormone and serum creatinine (r = 0.718, p < 0.001).

Conclusion
The data suggests that thyroid hormone levels have a minimal correlation with the severity of renal disease markers. In contrast, the pronounced correlation between PTH and creatinine underscores the importance of considering PTH as a significant factor in managing and therapeutic intervention of CKD complications. These initial findings catalyze further research to thoroughly investigate the pathophysiological relationships and potential therapeutic targets concerning thyroid dysfunction in patients with renal impairment.

Linseed is recognized as an excellent source of essential minerals, nutrients, and is particularly rich in omega-3 fatty acids and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), making it highly recommended for cardiovascular health. It is cultivated mainly for both linen and oil production, which is used for the production of paints, varnishes, and linoleum paste. The objective of the present investigation was to analyze genetic variability, heritability, and genetic advance for yield and yield traits among 75 linseed genotypes including ten checks using Randomized Block Design with three replications at Oilseeds Research Farm, Kalyanpur, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, (India) during Rabi season 2019-20. Analysis of variance revealed significant variation across all studied traits. The genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) ranged from low to high, with the lowest GCV and PCV observed for days to maturity, number of seeds per capsule, and days to 50% flowering. Conversely, the highest GCV and PCV values were recorded for seed yield per plant (g), number of capsules per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, and plant height. All traits recorded the highest heritability. High heritability and genetic advance were recorded for seed yield per plant, number of capsules per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, plant height, thousand seed weight, number of primary branches and oil content, indicating the presence of additive gene action for these characters. In conclusion, the genotypes studied show significant genetic variation for yield and its attributes, which should be leveraged in future breeding programs.

Aims: This study aims to formulate at least one efficient biostimulant based on actinomycetes that promotes good eggplant growth in Mali.
Study Design: The experimental design was a completely randomized block design with three replications and four treatments randomly distributed. The treatments were three Actinomycete strains (Act, S1 and St1) and a non inoculated control and the mode of application (inoculation or spraying) of these treatments were considered as blocking factor.
Place and Duration of Study: The trials were conducted in Bamako, in the Greenhouse of the LaboREM-Biotech situated on the colline of Badalabougou.
Methodology: Eggplant seeds inoculated or not with Actinomyces sp. Ts1, Actinomyces sp. S1 and Actinomyces sp. Act; were randomly sown in plastic pots filled with approximately 2.50 kg of air-dried soil. The first block sown with coated seeds and the second with non-inoculated seeds and seedlings from them pulverized. Leaf length, leaf area, leaf diameter, leaf area, leaf fresh weight, leaf dry weight, root fresh weight, root dry weight, plant height and root length were determined.
Results: Eggplant seed inoculated with all the tested Actinomycetes strains had significantly enhanced leaf length, leaf diameter, leaf area, leaves fresh weight. The highest results were obtained with the strain Act, followed by strain St1. Sprayed treatment improved eggplant leaf length, leaf diameter, leaf area, leaves fresh weight, leaves dry weight, root fresh weight, root dry weight; compared to the coated treatment
Conclusion: Field application of actinomyctes may reduce production cost, by increasing eggplant growth and fruit yield while reducing production cost. The present work showed that Act and Ts1 using spray method were best suited for eggplant. Actinomyces sp. Act produced the highest leaf length, leaf diameter, leaf area, leaves fresh weight. Therefore, Actinomyces sp. Act is suggested as bioinoculant for eggplant.
Die Politisierung des Zivilverfahrens durch strategische Prozessführung
Authors: Blüm Christoph 
Published: October 2024

Zusammenfassung
Strategische Prozessführung liegt im Trend. Unterstützt von prominenten Nichtregierungsorganisationen (NGOs) sind weltweit zahlreiche Gerichtsverfahren anhängig, in denen über das eigentliche Prozessziel der Klägerseite hinaus ein politisches Ziel - etwa der Klimaschutz im Allgemeinen - verfolgt wird. Die Durchsetzung politischer Ziele und vermeintlicher Allgemeininteressen mit den Mitteln des Rechts ist zwar an sich kein neues Phänomen. Es ist jedoch zu beobachten, dass sich in Deutschland eine spezialisierte Akteurslandschaft herausbildet, die strategische Prozessführung als bevorzugtes Instrument der politischen Interessenverfolgung einsetzt. Während NGOs in strategischer Prozessführung ein unverzichtbares Instrument ihrer Arbeit sehen, wird in Teilen der Literatur eine „Instrumentalisierung von Zivilprozessen“ befürchtet. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt ein eigenes Verständnis von strategischer Prozessführung vor und skizziert die wesentlichen Grundzüge des noch zu führenden Legitimitätsdiskurses über strategische Prozessführung im Zivilprozess.
Zwischen objektiver Verfassungssicherung und Individualrechtsschutz – Politisierungspotential im Verfassungsbeschwerdeverfahren
Authors: Sandhu Aqilah 
Published: October 2024

Zusammenfassung
Wenn sich eine Grundrechtsverletzung oder das Rechtsschutzbedürfnis vor der Entscheidung erledigt, der Beschwerdeführer verstirbt oder die Verfassungsbeschwerde zurückgenommen wird, können das grundlegende verfassungsrechtliche Interesse und die allgemeine Bedeutung die Fortführung des verfassungsgerichtlichen Verfahrens rechtfertigen. Dies ist Ausdruck der objektiven Dimension der Verfassungsbeschwerde. Je stärker dieser Charakter dominiert, desto eher liegt die Verfahrensherrschaft beim Gericht. Die vom subjektiven Rechtsschutz losgelöste objektive Kontrolle im Verfassungsbeschwerdeverfahren birgt aber auch ein gewisses Politisierungspotential und Unsicherheiten für Prozessbeteiligte.
Die Abhängigkeit von den Feststellungszielen im Kapitalanleger-Musterverfahren
Authors: Böttcher Wilhelm 
Published: October 2024

Zusammenfassung
Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht die in der Wissenschaft wenig besprochene, aber in der Praxis kaum zu unterschätzende Bedeutung des BGH-Beschlusses vom 30.4.2019 (BGH v. 30.4.2019 - XI ZB 13/18, MDR 2019, 1335) für den Verlauf von Kapitalanlegermusterverfahren. Durch die Auslegung des Merkmals der Abhängigkeit im Rahmen des § 8 Abs. 1 Satz 1 Kap- MuG durch den BGH sind die Fachgerichte gezwungen, alle Tatbestandsmerkmale vor Aussetzung des Musterverfahrens umfassend zu prüfen. Der Autor analysiert, welche Auswirkungen dieses Vorgehen auf die Verfahrensdauer, die Prozesskosten sowie das Beweismaß sowohl im Rahmen der Ausgangsverfahren als auch im Rahmen des Musterverfahrens hat. Das Ergebnis ist, dass die Auslegung nicht konsequent zu einer Rechtsschutzverstärkung führt. Anschließend wird daher untersucht, wie § 8 Abs. 1 Satz 1 KapMuG verständigerweise und verfassungskonform ausgelegt werden sollte.

Published: February 2018

AbstractIntroduction of large pore in the primitive microporous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with tailorable particle size can endow them with desired properties for potential applications in the intracellular delivery of membrane‐impermeable proteins. However, no research is found to focus on this topic until now. Herein, a monocarboxylic acid (MA) and organic base comodulation strategy is developed to synthesize the hierarchically porous UiO‐66 nanoparticles. MA of dodecanoic acid is utilized to control the pore size while trimethylamine (TEA) plays a key role in modulating the nucleation of crystallization to regulate the particle size. In comparison with microporous UiO‐66, a model protein of cytochrome c (Cyt c) could be efficiently loaded into the mesoporous MOFs (mesoMOFs). The size‐dependent cellular uptake is also evaluated, and it is verified that mesoMOFs with particle size of 90 nm could be endocytosed into living cells with highest efficiency. These outstanding merits enable the current mesoMOFs not only to exhibit efficient encapsulation of Cyt c but also facilitate the protein delivery into the cytosol and subsequent endosomal escape. Given the exceptional chemical stability, hierarchically porous structure as well as tunable particle size, the elaborated mesoUiO‐66 nanoparticles might offer a promising platform for a variety of biomedical applications.

Published: February 2018

AbstractVisible‐light‐driven conversion of CO2 into chemical fuels is an intriguing approach to address the energy and environmental challenges. In principle, light harvesting and catalytic reactions can be both optimized by combining the merits of homogeneous and heterogeneous photocatalysts; however, the efficiency of charge transfer between light absorbers and catalytic sites is often too low to limit the overall photocatalytic performance. In this communication, it is reported that the single‐atom Co sites coordinated on the partially oxidized graphene nanosheets can serve as a highly active and durable heterogeneous catalyst for CO2 conversion, wherein the graphene bridges homogeneous light absorbers with single‐atom catalytic sites for the efficient transfer of photoexcited electrons. As a result, the turnover number for CO production reaches a high value of 678 with an unprecedented turnover frequency of 3.77 min−1, superior to those obtained with the state‐of‐the‐art heterogeneous photocatalysts. This work provides fresh insights into the design of catalytic sites toward photocatalytic CO2 conversion from the angle of single‐atom catalysis and highlights the role of charge kinetics in bridging the gap between heterogeneous and homogeneous photocatalysts.

AbstractWide‐bandgap (WBG) formamidinium–cesium (FA‐Cs) lead iodide–bromide mixed perovskites are promising materials for front cells well‐matched with crystalline silicon to form tandem solar cells. They offer avenues to augment the performance of widely deployed commercial solar cells. However, phase instability, high open‐circuit voltage (Voc) deficit, and large hysteresis limit this otherwise promising technology. Here, by controlling the crystallization of FA‐Cs WBG perovskite with the aid of a formamide cosolvent, light‐induced phase segregation and hysteresis in perovskite solar cells are suppressed. The highly polar solvent additive formamide induces direct formation of the black perovskite phase, bypassing the yellow phases, thereby reducing the density of defects in films. As a result, the optimized WBG perovskite solar cells (PSCs) (Eg ≈ 1.75 eV) exhibit a high Voc of 1.23 V, reduced hysteresis, and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.8%. A PCE of 15.2% on 1.1 cm2 solar cells, the highest among the reported efficiencies for large‐area PSCs having this bandgap is also demonstrated. These perovskites show excellent phase stability and thermal stability, as well as long‐term air stability. They maintain ≈95% of their initial PCE after 1300 h of storage in dry air without encapsulation.
