Published: September 2024

Harta sepencarian refers to the ownership of the property acquired during the period of marriage by husband and wife, including spouses who convert to Islam. The main question related to the claims of harta sepencarian among Muslim converts is often which court shall have jurisdiction to hear the case, whether the Shariah Court or the Civil Court. This issue arises because it involves parties of different religions, who are governed by two different applications of law in Malaysia particularly in cases where only one party converts to Islam. Therefore, this article will discuss the position and practice of the division of harta sepencarian among Muslim converts in Malaysia. This article uses a descriptive-analytical approach based on content analysis of the data from previous studies. This article examines various aspects related to harta sepencarian and matrimonial property and their differences, the types of Muslim convert spouses and the different processes of claiming harta sepencarian according to Malaysian law. The findings of this article show that the Muslim convert and his/her spouse (whether converted to Islam or not) also have the right to claim the division of harta sepencarian in the event of a divorce or death. However, to determine which court has the jurisdiction to hear the cases related to harta sepencarian claims among Muslim converts and their spouses depends on the law of their marriage, whether it is registered in the Law Reform Act (Marriage and Divorce 1976) or act/state enactments of family law.

A new method for the evaluation of makeup coverage using hyperspectral imaging

Published: September 2024

IntroductionThe coverage of a makeup foundation is a perceived attribute which is not captured by opacity or any other single optical property. As previous instrumental measurements do not allow us to consistently compare one product to another, we have begun exploring new parameters and analysis methods made available by hyperspectral imaging. Presumably, the coverage of makeup comes from the change in color, homogeneity, and evenness over the face after application, and the ability of the product to hide spots and other blemishes.MethodsAs a starting point to unravelling this complex topic, we define a homogeneity factor αHF which measures the change in the homogeneity of the spectra using the distribution of spectral angles in the face. We likewise define a spectral shift factor βSF which indicates the degree of spectral change after product application. To test these new parameters and the overall analysis method, we applied them to the HSI validation dataset which contains data for three makeup foundation products of different coverage levels applied to 9 models.ResultsWe find that αHF correlates with the sensory ranking of coverage. Similarly, the parameter βSF correlates with the visible color change induced by the product, and we can map the three products into distinct categories based on their effect on αHF and βSF.DiscussionNevertheless, the homogeneity factor αHF does not fully describe coverage, and in the variability in the product effect from model to model we find evidence that we must also account for the relative color difference between the model’s skin tone and the product shade among other factors.

Published: September 2024

IntroductionThis study explores the motivators to use learning management systems (LMS) adopted and used in eLearning by Hong Kong universities among Mainland Chinese postgraduate students amid COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsAn adapted and extended UTUAT2 model was first proposed and tested using the structural equation modeling approach. Through self-report online questionnaire, data were collected in 2022 from 352 Mainland Chinese postgraduate students of nine universities in Hong Kong. The reliability and validity of the data were tested using the confirmatory factor analysis, followed by path analysis to test the hypotheses in the proposed model.ResultsThe study revealed nine motivators which explained 50% of the variance in LMS use intention. Trust (0.204), instructor characteristics (0.202), performance expectancy (0.181), and facilitating conditions (0.181) were identified as strong motivators of behavioral intention. Other factors such as effort expectancy (0.148), learning value (0.118) and social influence (0.115) also had significant positive effects on LMS use intention. Habit (0.014) and hedonic motivation (−0.016) had no significant direct effect on it.DiscussionThese findings provide inspirations for educational stakeholders to promote the acceptance of LMS platforms among distance and online learners who adopt the cyberspace as the only means of learning. They also offer insights about instructor recruitment and evaluation methods.
Microplastic pollution and associated trace metals in freshwater ecosystems within protected natural areas: the case of a biosphere reserve in Mexico

Published: September 2024

Microplastics (MPs) are considered pollutants of emerging concern. In rivers, MPs (≤5 mm) are transported by currents and deposited in lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, and oceans. In Mexico, MPs in freshwater ecosystems have been scarcely studied. This work aimed to determine the presence of MPs in rivers of the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve (SGBR). Samples of surface water and sediment collected from the Escanela, Jalpan, Ayutla, and Santa María rivers were processed. MPs in water were extracted by direct filtration using nitrocellulose filters with a 1.2 μm pore size; MPs in sediments were extracted by density suspension using a ZnCl2 solution (ρ ≈ 1.5 g/cm3). The surface of MPs was examined using SEM-EDX, and spectra of trace elements deposited on the MPs were obtained; additionally, MP polymers were characterized with FTIR. Fibers were the most abundant MP forms in both matrices. Up to 110.87 items L−1 were detected in water and 175 items kg−1 (dry weight) in sediments. Surface wear of MPs was observed, and trace elements were detected, including Al, Fe, Cr, Si, and Zn, among others. The polymers identified in MP samples were polyethylene terephthalate, polyester, polypropylene, high-density polyethylene, polyamide, and polystyrene. The test results revealed the presence of MPs with trace metals on their surface in the freshwater ecosystems of the SGBR, which may be related to mining operations in the study area, changes in land use, wastewater discharges, atmospheric transport, and dry and wet deposition. These findings demonstrated the ubiquity of these pollutants and their presence even in areas intended for conservation.

Published: September 2024

IntroductionEven under the standard medical care, patients with left ventricular (LV) failure or heart failure (HF) often progress to pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy. We previously showed that inflammation and regulatory T cells (Tregs) modulate HF progression in mice with preexisting LV failure. The main objective of this study is to determine the role of CD8+ T cells in modulating LV failure and the consequent pulmonary inflammation and RV hypertrophy in mice with preexisting LV failure.MethodsMice with LV failure produced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC) were randomized to depletion of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, Tregs, or both using specific blocking antibodies. Cardiac function, lung inflammation, fibrosis, vascular remodeling, and right ventricular remodeling were determined.ResultsLV failure caused pulmonary inflammation, fibrosis, vascular remodeling, and RV hypertrophy. Depletion of CD8+ T cells significantly attenuated above changes in mice with preexisting LV failure. LV failure was associated with increased CD4+ and CD8+ T cell activation, and increased ratios of activated T cells to Tregs. Treg depletion exacerbated lung inflammation and HF progression, as well as lung CD4+ and CD8+ T cell infiltration and activation in HF mice. However, CD8+ T cells depletion rescue these mice from exacerbated lung inflammation and RV hypertrophy after Treg depletion.DiscussionOur findings demonstrate an important role of CD8+ T cells in promoting pulmonary inflammation and RV hypertrophy in mice with preexisting LV failure. Depletion of CD8+ T cells also rescued HF mice from the exacerbated HF progression by Treg depletion.

Published: September 2024

BackgroundListeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive bacterium transmitted to humans through contaminated food, water, and animal faeces, posing a public health risk. Listeria monocytogenes is difficult to isolate and is not sensitive to first-line treatment with broad-spectrum cephalosporins for bacterial meningitis. Listeria meningitis is rare but can progress rapidly and may be accompanied by serious complications (hydrocephalus, ventricular inflammation, cerebral palsy, and brain abscess) and a high mortality rate.Case presentationIt is a retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics and treatment of a rare case of Listeria monocytogenes infection. Using laboratory indicators such as white blood cells (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT), three detection methods (cerebrospinal fluid/blood culture), Targeted gene sequencing technology (tNGS), and Metagenomic next-generation sequencing technology (mNGS) combined with clinical manifestations of patients, analyze the use plan and prognosis of antibiotics in patients. The patient in this case initially had neurological symptoms such as fever, headache, unclear consciousness, and vomiting; laboratory indicators include elevated WBC, CRP, and PCT. Listeria monocytogenes was cultured in both the patient’s cerebrospinal fluid and blood samples. After treatment with penicillin and meropenem, the patient recovered and was discharged without any sequelae.ConclusionDue to the rarity of Listeria monocytogenes, there may be deficiencies and difficulties in clinical differential diagnosis, making it difficult to achieve targeted antibiotic treatment. Therefore, accurate identification of Listeria monocytogenes and relevant laboratory inflammation indicator testing, combined with traditional culture methods and NGS testing, through empirical coverage of Listeria monocytogenes, targeted antibiotic treatment ultimately impacts clinical outcomes significantly.
