Fake Patriotism: Economic Necessity or Genuine National Pride?
Authors: Indrajit Indrajit 
Published: November 2024

This research explores the phenomenon of "fake patriotism" among Gen Z consumers, particularly focusing on their purchasing behavior regarding domestic vs. foreign brands of sneakers. Conducted with 209 participants, the study aimed to understand whether younger generations' attraction towards domestic products stems from genuine national pride or mere economic necessity. The study revealed that while some respondents exhibited strong allegiance to domestically produced sneakers, driven by sentiments of national pride, others preferred foreign brands primarily due to superior quality and strong brand power. The findings suggest that economic factors play a significant role in Gen Z's purchasing intention regarding sneakers, with many would choose foreign brands once they have a better purchasing power despite potential patriotic inclinations. This research provides valuable insights for local sneaker producers to adapt their marketing strategies and workmanship to better answer the expectation of customers.

Authors: Stephen Chabula M. , Igbokwe Nwamaka H. , Idowu Abel O. , Ezeobiora Chijioke E. 
Published: November 2024

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a global health problem that has led to the loss of eﬀectiveness of many antimicrobial drugs, thus necessitating the continuous search for alternatives, especially from natural sources. Flabellaria paniculata, Rhapiostylis beninensis, and Khaya ivorensis are plants that have been used in traditional medicine to treat microbial infections, but documentedevaluations of their eﬀectiveness in scientiﬁc literature are few
Methods: The roots of Flabellaria paniculata, Rhapiostyl beninensis, and bark of Khaya ivorensis were extracted by cold maceration method in 70% ethanol. The extracts were analyzed for their phytochemical content. Clinically isolated bacteria were screened for their multidrug resistance status. The antimicrobial activity of the individual plant extracts against clinical multidrug resistance (MDR) bacterial isolates consisting of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichia coli strainswas evaluated by the agar-well diﬀusion technique on Mueller Hinton agar. The solid dilution method was used to assess the MIC and MBC of susceptible strains.
Results: The phytochemical screening showed that the three plant extracts contain terpenoids, steroids, and saponins in similar quantities, while ﬂavonoids were more abundant in K. ivorensis (109mg/100g), F. paniculata (52mg/100g), and R. beninensis (38mg/100g) respectively. Eleven, ten, and two of the MDR strains of bacteria tested were susceptible to the inhibitory activity of theindividual extracts of K. ivorensis, F. paniculata, and R. beninensis respectively in a concentration- dependent manner. The range of MIC for K. ivorensis (1.56-12.5 mg/mL) was lower than for F. paniculata (6.25-50 mg/mL) and R. beninensis (12.5-50 mg/mL).
Conclusion: The ethanol extracts of the studied plants showed antimicrobial activity against testedMDR bacterial strains, providing evidence to justify their traditional use, and demonstrating their potential in treating bacterial infections and as a future source for newer chemotherapeutic agents.

"Life without God and against God": Joseph Ratzinger on Christianity and the (Secularized) World
Authors: Kaucha Krzysztof 
Published: November 2024

Despite all the efforts of responsible Christians to withstand secularization, the process as shown by various parameters appears to be unstoppable. Joseph Ratzinger developed a much-desired comprehensive, theological understanding of secularization. His theology of the world and his vision of the modern times is presented here succinctly at the time that the Western world seems to dispense with God and even live against Him. First, the article recalls Ratzinger’s 1965 text on the meanings of the term “world.” Any serious thought about the world should first deal with the question of how it is conceptualized. Ratzinger responded by presenting the Christian understanding of the worl+d and confronted it with various philosophical positions and scientific visions. He demonstrated the superiority of Christianity as having the exclusivity of possessing “good news” for humankind. Further, this article offers a comparison of the Christian and increasingly secularized worlds. While denouncing the project of building a secular world (the modern Tower of Babel) and challenging the tenets of the advocates of secularization, Ratzinger also enumerated elements uniting the global community. Finally, the article quotes an important text by Ratzinger brought back to the public attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, in which he juxtaposed two main mechanisms propelling human history: the development of a world without God and the operation of the providential “hand of God.” The clash of the belief in God with that of a life without God started at the dawn of history and will continue to the end of time. Ratzinger’s understanding of the world and secularization is realistic, intellectually principled, and very often dramatic, but concurrently full of Christian hope and optimism. His theology rebuts and reverses the common understanding of the terms “liberal” and “conservative.”
TEMPERATURE AND CRACK PATH DEVIATION EFFECTS ON FATIGUE CRACK GROWTH OF A NONCRYSTALLIZING RUBBER

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
This study presents an investigation of the displacement-driven fatigue behavior of a noncrystallizing rubber under various temperature conditions. Surprisingly, fatigue crack growth (FCG) experiments revealed an unexpected decrease in FCG rate and significant crack path deviations at higher temperatures. To explore this phenomenon, tear fracture experiments were conducted at various temperatures. Experimental observations revealed a notable decrease in fracture resistance at elevated temperatures. Subsequently, finite element methods were used to simulate the impact of crack path deviation on rubber fatigue, revealing that it reduces the tearing energy at the crack tip. Our investigation focused on the interaction between temperature and crack path deviation and its influence on rubber fatigue, with an emphasis on the critical role of crack path deviations at elevated temperatures in prolonging FCG.

Authors: Al-Krenawi Alean , Hashmi Julianne , Patel Dhaval 
Published: November 2024

This paper explores the critical intersection of social work and Islam, focusing on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region amidst historical and ongoing conflicts. The study examines how Western-oriented social work education often clashes with the realities faced by Muslim populations who interpret the world through an Islamic lens. The impact of colonialism, modernization, and globalization on social work practices in the MENA region is emphasized, highlighting the enduring effects of these forces on local knowledge and the marginalization of indigenous Islamic wisdom. The study advocates for a paradigm shift toward authentization—developing social work approaches grounded in the local cultural and religious contexts of Muslim populations. It discusses the integration of Islamic practices and values into social work and psychotherapy, emphasizing the therapeutic benefits of Islamic rituals, spirituality, and community-oriented practices. The paper also underscores the need for culturally relevant social work education that reflects the diverse realities of Muslim clients. By promoting a more inclusive and culturally sensitive approach, the article aims to bridge the gap between Western social work practices and the needs of Muslim communities, fostering better outcomes and enhanced well-being for those served.

Published: November 2024

El cuy (Cavia porcellus) es un animal reconocido como biomodelo en diversos experimentos gestacionales, que involucran el desarrollo del cuerpo lúteo (CL) como una estructura glandular transitoria, que es esencial para el mantenimiento de la gestación en su primer tercio a través de la progesterona (Shaw et al., 2018). Esta estructura ovárica experimenta un proceso de regresión, caracterizado por una disminución de la funcionalidad (Vallcaneras et al., 2022). A pesar de la importancia inicial del CL y de la progesterona (P4) en la gestación, los estudios realizados en los cobayos son insuficientes para entender su funcionamiento en la etapa inicial de la gestación, por lo que es necesario caracterizar el desarrollo del CL y la concentración de P4 plasmática en las primeras 5 semanas de gestación de la cobaya. Por lo antes expuesto, el trabajo tuvo como objetivo establecer las características morfométricas del ovario, cuerpo lúteo y la concentración de la progesterona en los primeros 35 días de gestación de la cobaya.

Published: November 2024

This study investigates the relationship between job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion among primary education teachers in Kosovo, particularly in the context of strikes. The purpose of this paper is to understand how these variables interact and influence each other focusing on the impact of work experience. The methodology involved a quantitative approach using structured instruments to measure job satisfaction, emotional exhaustion and strike tendencies among 150 teachers from three primary schools in Pristina. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and one-way ANOVA. The findings reveal a positive and linear relationship between job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion indicating that teachers experiencing higher levels of emotional exhaustion report lower job satisfaction. Additionally, the results show that work experience significantly influences job satisfaction with more experienced teachers reporting higher satisfaction levels and better navi­gation of strikes. However, no significant relationships were found between job satisfaction and strike tendencies or between emotional exhaustion and strike tendencies. The practical implications of this study underscore the importance of addressing emotional exhaustion to enhance job satisfaction among teachers. The findings suggest that future research should explore interventions aimed at mitigating emotional exhaustion and improving job satisfaction in educational settings by providing a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics between job satisfaction, emotional exhaustion and strike tendencies. These insights can inform educational policy and teacher support programs ultimately contributing to a more supportive and satis­fying work environment for teachers.

Salad vegetables are consumed without heat treatment therefore the possibility of food-borne illness is more. Salad can get contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms during growing in the field, harvesting, handling, processing, and distribution. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most adaptable human pathogens. It can cause a range of illnesses from minor skin infections to life-threatening diseases. The present study was conducted for the isolation of Staphylococcus aureus from salad vegetables from different restaurants in Peshawar. For this purpose, a total of 30 salad samples were collected from different local restaurants located in Peshawar. The samples were diluted in peptone water and inoculated on a Mannitol Salt Agar medium. The S. aureus was confirmed by biochemical tests. 17 samples out of 30 were confirmed positive for S. aureus. The positive samples were then checked for antibiotic susceptibility with antibiotics CLR, FOX, NV, LZD, and VA by inoculating on an agar plate. In positive samples, 47.05% to resistant to NV, 35.29% to LZD, 29.41%) to CLR, 23.52 % to VA, and 17.64% MRSA were detected. A high level of sensitivity of 64.70% was shown by FOX and LZD. Out of 30 samples, 29.98% (average) resistance was noted against 5 antibiotics which indicated a low level of hygienic condition applied during salad making, handling, and processing. Our study concluded that S. aureus was present in salad vegetables of different restaurants in Peshawar. MRSA was also detected in RTE salad during the present study. Further molecular research is needed for the identification of MRSA and VRSA genes.
