This study was conducted to analyze the hSIL of Vitamin K Supplementation in Reducing Cardiovascular Events in End-Stage Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading source of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major contributor to this matter. Kidney disease is estimated to affect over 850 million people worldwide. The present systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. We searched studies from electronic databases (PubMed Central, ScienceDirect, PLoS One, Google Scholar, Nature). Studies were considered eligible if they met the following criteria : (1) the study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT), (2) the study was published in the last 5 years (2018– 2022), (3) the study participants were adult patients with kidney disease from stage III to end-stage who were given vitamin K supplementation, (4) the study reported coronary artery calcium scores pre- and post- vitamin K supplementation, (5) the study was published in English. Risk of bias of each study was evaluated using Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB) 2 tool. Data were descriptively examined and narratively reported. In conclusion, our results do not suggest that vitamin K supplementation may affect vascular calcification as measured by the CAC score. Up till now there is no treatment to reverse vascular calcification in ESKD patients. The current clinical practice should focus on prevention and retardation of its progression.

Descending Motor Pathways
Authors: Abougalala Fawzy Mahmoud Ali 
Published: September 2024

The brain is the origin of the descending motor pathways or tracts. These are responsible for the origination or modification of motor activity. This action is performed by motor signals, which transmitted from the brain and target lower motor neurons.
Motor control is a chief task of the central nervous system (CNS). It can be recognized as the initiation of signals to coordinate muscle contraction of the body and head, aiming to keep a posture or to make a movement (transition between two postures). A large amount of the CNS is included in the process of motor control.
The term "motor neuron, also known as motoneurons" may refer to single or one type of neurons responsible for the movement. However, this is not the truth. Actually, the “motor neuron” describe two categories of neurons, the “upper and lower motor neurons”. They are significantly different in their origins, synapses, pathways, neurotransmitters and developed lesions due to their affection. Motor neurons are essential constituents of two different circuits “the upper and lower motor circuits”. These circuits control both voluntary and involuntary movements. This was achieved by the connection of higher centers with muscles and glands
Descending tracts of the motor system are originating mainly from two parts, the cortex and the brainstem. Tracts originating from the cortex control the voluntary movements and adjust posture relating to voluntary movement. Furthermore, the descending pathways are subdivided into (pathways) describing their start and termination. These are (1) corticospinal and corticobulbar, (2) cortico-reticulo-spinal, (3) cortico-rubro-spinal (4) cortico-tecto-spinal, (5) vestibulo-spinal and (6) raphe–spinal and ceruleus–spinal tracts (aminergic pathways)
Pyramidal tracts, originating in the cortex and carry motor fibres to the spinal cord and brain stem. It is subdivided into corticospinal and Corticobulbar tracts. The extrapyramidal tracts originate in the brainstem. Then carry motor projections to the spinal cord. These tracts are primarily concerned with the control of the involuntary and automatic innervations for all musculature (e.g., muscle tone, balance, posture and locomotion).

Authors: Shams Ahmed I. , Elzarea Gehan A. , Abbas Ahmed I. , E. Ali Ahmed 
Published: September 2024

Background: Migraine is characterized by episodes of moderate-to-severe headache, most often unilateral and generally associated with nausea and increased sensitivity to light and sound. BPPV is the most common cause of peripheral vertigo, accounting for over half of all cases. According to various estimates, a minimum of 20% of patients presenting to the clinic with vertigo have BPPV. This study aimed to elaborate the relation between Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and Migraine and the prevalence of Migraine in BPPV versus normal subjects.
Patients and Methods: This case-control study was performed at Audio-vestibular unit, ENT Department at Al-Hussein University Hospital, A total of 80 subjects composed of: A- Study group: Forty patients with BPPV, B- Control group: Forty healthy individuals with normal hearing without any balance disorders, vertigo or Migraine. The clinical assessment was performed according to standard techniques (history taking, general clinical, ontological and audiological examinations). The primary outcome was the incidence of migraine in BPPV, while secondary outcome included the associated factors of migraine and BPPV
Results: Migraine was reported among 11 cases in the study group (27.5%) (8 of them have migraine without aura and 3 with aura), compared to none in the control group (p < 0.05). No significant difference between the two studied groups regarding age and gender. There is significant association between BPPV and Migraine. Meanwhile, the most common reported type was posterior BPPV (80%) and lateral type was 20%. Female gender was found to be significantly associated with migraine.
Conclusion: The BPPV was associated with increased risk of migraine and both conditions are more presented in females.

Abstrak
Panel lantai precast Aerated Autoclaved Concrete (AAC) didesain untuk beban maksimum 400kg/m2. Pemasangan panel AAC umumnya diberi lapisan tambahan pada permukaan atas sebagai proteksi. Lapisan beton bertulang di atas panel AAC biasa dihitung sebagai beban mati tambahan. Namun, secara teoritis penambahan lapisan tersebut dapat meningkatkan kekuatan dan kekakuan panel, dengan syarat kedua lapisan tersebut bekerja secara komposit monolit; sehingga, lapisan tersebut juga berfungsi sebagai komponen struktural. Namun hal tersebut perlu dibuktikan dengan penelitian untuk mengetahui hal tersebut. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksperimental skala 1:1 menggunakan panel AAC berukuran 1970x600x125mm. Pada penelitian ini ketebalan lapisan beton dan metode pemasangan shear connector menjadi variabel penelitian. Variasi tebal lapisan beton 30,40,dan 50mm dengan mutu f’c 24,5MPa. Lapisan beton diberi tulangan wiremesh D 6mm berjarak 200mm. shear connector tulangan ulir D 6mm ditempatkan setiap jarak 200mm dengan variasi metode pemasangan terhadap wiremesh pada lapisan beton : dengan dan tanpa las. Panel komposit hibrid diuji terhadap beban lentur secara monotonik, third-point loading method. Hasil uji lentur menunjukan bahwa penambahan lapisan beton bertulang pada panel ACC, dapat meningkatkan beban retak pertama dan beban ultimit hingga sebesar 28-89%, dan 33-109% secara berurutan, juga kekakuan sebesar 174.70% hingga 363.31%.

Authors: Koven Wilson , Hamdany Abdul Halim 
Published: September 2024

Abstrak
Efek hujan dan gempa mempengaruhi stabilitas lereng. Hujan dapat mengakibatkan terjadinya infiltrasi pada lereng yang menyebabkan turunnya tekanan air pori negatif pada lereng dan meningkatkan muka air tanah. Sedangkan gempa akan memberikan beban seismik yang menyebabkan terjadinya deformasi pada lereng. Lereng akan mengalami kondisi yang lebih kritis lagi apabila efek hujan dan gempa dikombinasikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh hujan yang disusul gempa pada stabilitas lereng tak jenuh. Penelitian ini terdiri dari dua tahap analisis numerik, yaitu analisis rembesan untuk mengetahui perubahan tekanan air pori pada lereng dan dilanjutkan dengan analisis dinamik time history tidak linear untuk menghitung deformasi yang terjadi akibat gempa. Kurva karakteristik tanah-air yang diambil dari hasil pengukuran akan diinkorporasikan pada lapisan atas tanah tak jenuh dan catatan gempa Loma Prieta (1989) akan digunakan sebagai akselerasi gempa. Enam skenario hujan dilanjutkan gempa akan dianalisis dan dibandingkan yaitu skenario intensitas hujan tidak berubah selama tiga hari, skenario intensitas hujan meningkat bertahap dan berkurang bertahap dalam tiga hari, dan skenario intensitas hujan acak selama tiga hari.
Teaching English through Drama to Arab Learners
Authors: Bell Joseph 
Published: September 2024

This paper accounts for teaching English to Arab learners through dramatic works to facilitate their learning of English as a foreign language (EFL). The study, based on a review of the relevant literature, proposes English drama as a gateway to teaching EFL to Arab learners. It advocates plays as a useful means for addressing the linguistic challenges that mainly relate to vocabulary, syntax, and figurative language. The study rationalizes selecting plays with themes relevant to Arab learners’ socio-cultural experiences and interests. A purposeful selection of plays helps in exploring universal themes and accepting cultural diversity, fostering a deeper understanding of other places and eras. In studying plays, learners engage with characters, dialogue, and emotions. Dramatic techniques, such as role-playing, scene analysis, and live performances encourage active participation and enhance comprehension and appreciation. Above all, comparing Western plays with learners’ literary traditions (e.g., Arabic poetry, folklore, or theatre) promotes critical thinking, cross-cultural awareness, and much more.

Authors: Bhatia Shweta , Kumari Neelam 
Published: September 2024

Odonata, commonly known as dragonflies and damselflies, represent a fascinating and diverse order of insects found throughout the world, with a rich evolutionary history dating back hundreds of millions of years. Odonates are diverse group of insects with around 6407 valid species throughout the world, out of which 498 species have been recorded in India. These insects are characterized by their striking, often vibrant, colors, large compound eyes, and elongated bodies. This review provides a concise overview of the various new Odonata species discovered in recent years in India. Odonata, like all living organisms, continue to evolve because evolution is a fundamental and ongoing process in the natural world. Several factors contribute to why Odonata, along with all species, are still evolving. In recent years different species have been discovered from both the suborders that is, Anisoptera and Zygoptera of the order Odonata. Different species have been mainly discovered from Kerala, and Maharashtra. The species are identified on the basis of their external features, markings and similarities and dissimilarities from the similar species. This also covers the importance of newly found species, their ecological value and their importance in the environment as a wetland marker.

Aim: This study examines the prevalence and factors associated with burnout in healthcare providers in Akuapem North Municipality, Ghana.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among 277 healthcare workers using a structured questionnaire between February and March 2024. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) assessed EE, DP, and PA. Work-related and organizational factors were analyzed using Pearson chi-square tests and multiple regression analysis to identify key predictors of burnout. Statistical significance was set at p < .05. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 19.
Results: Emotional exhaustion was high, with 15.5% of participants experiencing extreme fatigue. Depersonalization levels were high for 48.0% of respondents, while 74.0% reported low personal achievement. Chi-square tests indicated that marital status significantly impacted emotional exhaustion [χ²(8) = 17.561, p = .025], and profession was significantly related to depersonalization [χ²(2) = 22.201, p < .001]. Regression analysis revealed that work-related factors, such as overall comfort (β = 5.978, p < .001) and support (β = 4.416, p < .001), were significant predictors of burnout. Organizational factors like fairness (β = 2.563, p < .001) and work-life balance (β = 7.294, p < .001) also had significant effects.
Conclusion: Burnout is prevalent among healthcare providers in Akuapem North Municipality, with notable levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal achievement. Work-related and organizational factors are key contributors.
Recommendations: Targeted interventions, including improved support systems and organizational fairness, are recommended to address burnout effectively. Future research should evaluate targeted interventions addressing these factors and monitor changes in burnout over time. Additionally, it should investigate the interactions between individual and organizational factors across various healthcare settings.
