Heat resistance of Lactobacillus brevis, Pediococcus acidilactici and Enterococcus faecium in buffer (pH 4), alcoholic and alcohol-free beer
Authors: Rachon Grzegorz , Raleigh Christopher , Rothera Harry 
Published: July 2024

Why was the work done: To measure the heat resistance of three vegetative bacteria in buffer (pH 4), alcoholic and alcohol-free beer. To verify that Pediococcus acidilactici ATCC 8042 and Lactobacillus brevis BSO 566 are as heat resistant as previously reported and to establish if Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354 could have application in validation studies for the pasteurisation of beer.
How was the work done: : The heat resistance of L. brevis, P. acidilactici and E. faecium in buffer, alcoholic and alcohol-free beer was determined using two approaches - capillary test tubes and flask method.
What are the main findings: E. faecium was the most heat resistant microorganism in all three liquids. D values were significantly greater, and z-values were similar or significantly greater than the corresponding values of L. brevis and P. acidilactici.
Why is the work important: E. faecium is used in the food industry as a pathogenic surrogate for the validation of thermal and non-thermal processes. The work reported here suggests that E. faecium can also be used for the validation of pasteurisation of beer. Its high z-value suggests that at higher pasteurisation temperatures (>65°C) it may be more resistant than yeast ascospores and could therefore be used as an indicator for flash pasteurisation.

Authors: Amir Ahmad Nabil 
Published: July 2024

The paper discusses T.M. Hasbi ash-Shiddieqyâ€™s contextual approaches in his Qurâ€™anic exegesis, kitab Tafsir al-Quran al-Majid or Tafsir an-Nur. It brings to light the principal ideas and framework of dakwah as set forth in his Tafsir and analysed the essence and practical ways of dakwah as alluded to in his commentary of verses and themes of dakwah in the Qurâ€™an. It focused on his two phenomenal works, Tafsir al-Quran al-Majid and Tafsir al-Bayan that substantively displayed his unique ideas in formulating the concept and approaches of dakwah and developed significant understanding of the interpretation of ayat al-dakwah and its implication in enhancing spirituality and religiosity of Muslim in Indonesia. The structure of research is framed on qualitative approaches in the type of documentary survey of related literature. The finding shows that his Tafsir was structured on rational framework that emphasized on transmitted narration and independent reasoning (raâ€™y) and ijtihad that conveys the meaning based on contextual interpretation of tafsir, signifying the dynamic ideal and practice of dakwah (fiqh daâ€˜wah) in contemporary Indonesia.

Caratheodory periodic perturbations of degenerate systems
Authors: Calamai Alessandro , Spadini Marco 
Published: July 2024

We study the structure of the set of harmonic solutions to T-periodically perturbed coupled differential equations on differentiable manifolds, where the perturbation is allowed to be of Caratheodory-type regularity. Employing degree-theoretic methods, we prove the existence of a noncompact connected set of nontrivial T-periodic solutions that, in a sense, emanates from the set of zeros of the unperturbed vector field. The latter is assumed to be ''degenerate'': Meaning that, contrary to the usual assumptions on the leading vector field, it is not required to be either trivial nor to have a compact set of zeros. In fact, known results in the ``nondegenerate case can be recovered from our ones. We also provide some illustrating examples of Lienard- and \(\phi\)-Laplacian-type perturbed equations.

Con el objetivo de aumentar nuestro conocimiento sobre los bosques arenosos de restinga en Rio Grande do Sul, realizamos un estudio florístico y fitosociológico del componente arbustivo de un capón de restinga en el Parque Estadual de Itapeva (PEVA). Este estudio utilizó el método de parcelas, incluyendo todos los individuos con un DAS (diámetro a la altura del suelo) mínimo de 2,5 cm y totalizando un área de 0,5 ha. La composición florística dio como resultado una riqueza total de 81 especies. La densidad total de arbustos en el capão fue de 4.240 ind/ha. La familia con mayor riqueza específica fue Myrtaceae y entre las especies con mayor valor de importancia estuvieron Myrsine umbellata Mart. y Sorocea bonplandii (Baill.) W. C. Burger. En regeneración natural, las 10 primeras especies representaron el 54% de la regeneración natural total, con tasas que oscilaron entre el 13,5% y el 0,2%. La elevada riqueza observada demostró la contribución de la "Porta de Torres" como importante corredor migratorio de especies atlánticas en la vegetación de Rio Grande do Sul, añadiendo nuevas informaciones sobre la florística y estructura comunitaria de la Restinga de Rio Grande do Sul. Los resultados presentados contribuirán a nuevos estudios sobre la dinámica del PEVA y a programas de gestión, preservación y recuperación ambiental.
Legaculturation: Turning Laws into a Culture
Authors: Ghaleb Belal Dahiam Saif 
Published: July 2024

The interaction between law and culture is fundamental to the functioning of any society. While laws are formal rules enforced by state institutions, culture encompasses the shared values, beliefs, and practices of a society. In order to eliminate problems such as the conflict between law and culture, the pressure of law on culture, the society's behavior against the law, and similar problems, law must be adapted to the culture and existing laws must be made a culture of the society. This article explores the process of transforming legal norms into cultural ones, emphasizing the mechanisms through which laws are internalized and become an integral part of social behavior. By examining historical precedents, theoretical frameworks, and contemporary examples, the article demonstrates how legal norms can shape and be shaped by cultural norms, transcending their formal boundaries. More significantly, it illustrates how the state's promulgation, enforcement, and potential future enactment of laws can be rendered more palatable, acceptable, and culturally integrated to both the state and society. The article posits that as society embraces laws as part of its culture, not only will the state's expenditure on ensuring security decrease, but societal trust will also increase, reducing conflicts and insecurities in the application of laws. The article also, introduces the concept of Legaculturation and emphasizes the importance of turning (transforming) laws into a culture. This comprehensive research provides a professional and detailed examination of the concept of Legaculturation by combining information from existing literature. Ultimately, the article assumes that society will thrive in welfare underpinned by a harmonious blend of legal and cultural norms.

Published: July 2024

Background: Thrombocytopenia is one of the most common haematological disorders and is also a life-threatening condition. The two types of thrombocytopenia, hypoproductive and hyperdestructive can best be distinguished by bone marrow examination; but it is an invasive, time-consuming and expensive process. The aim of this study was to determine the role of platelets indices in distinguishing between the two types which is a cost-effective and non-invasive modality of investigations. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study, conducted in the Pathology Laboratory, Rehman Medical Institute, Peshawar, conducted from 1st July 2019 to 30th June 2020. Non-probability convenience sampling technique was used. Sample size was calculated using WHO formula, and a total of 74 thrombocytopenic patients referred for bone marrow aspirate and trephine biopsy were included in the study. Clinical record, complete blood count (CBC) and bone marrow trephine biopsy were obtained and computed. Results: Mean Platelet Volume was 10.57±1.33 fl in hypoproductive group and 11.637±1.98 fl in hyperdestructive group. The difference between the groups was statistically significant (p=0.017). Platelet Distribution Width was 12.68±3.16 fl in hypoproductive group and 14.811±3.61 fl in hyperdestructive group (p=0.014). Platelet Large Cell Ratio was 30.81±9.23% in hypoproductive group and 36.993±10.25% in hyperdestructive group (p=0.010).

Absenteeism of undergraduate medical students in large class format lectures: causes, solutions and the way forward
Authors: Rehman Rehana , Zehra Tabassum , Sultan Amber Shamim , Martins Russell Seth , Ali Rahila 
Published: July 2024

Despite compulsory attendance rule and strict policies, absenteeism from lectures is an ongoing phenomenon which is becoming a point of serious concern because it is associated with inadequate learning and poor academic performance of medical students. Student absenteeism springs from a variety of contributing factors that need to be addressed promptly and collectively. This review gives an overview of some of the factors that account for absenteeism interrelated with students, faculty, curriculum and learning environment. We propose that ‘Need Based Standardized Faculty Development Programs’, ‘Innovative teaching and learning methodologies’, ‘Good governance’ and ‘Institutional commitment should aim to replace the traditional passive mode of instruction with active learning and inquiry-based approach to ensure considerable attendance of medical students. We are optimistic that the suggested measures will help to improve the quality and delivery of lectures for better attendance and a shift from traditional way of teacher centered learning, to self-directed learning.

Published: July 2024

Background: Medical ethics have always been considered as fundamentally important and bedside ethics are challenging to teach due to lack of formal teaching sessions. This study aimed to identify the knowledge, attitude and misconceptions among medical students about bedside ethics in hospital and its implementation in their routine practice. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted in medical students from 3rd, 4th, and 5th year from public sector medical colleges from June to August 2020. Results: Out of 400 Medical students, 90% had knowledge about bedside ethics and 64% knew the principle of bedside ethics. Sixty-four of medical students believed that they lived in an environment that was inappropriate for an ethical evaluation of the doctor-patient relation. Three-hundred-forty-one (84%) opted to recognize the patient and address them in a sophisticated reserved manner when approaching the patient at bedside. Two-hundred eleven (52%) preferred to inform bad news to patients in front of their attendants. Two-hundred ninety-eight (73%) of medical students believed that ethics were required for moral values. Three-hundred-five (75%) selected the option to tell the patients honestly when they make a mistake while treatment. Moreover, 259 (64%) of students preferred to ask patients to expose the target body part but 131 (32%) of students preferred to do it by themselves. Conclusion: Majority of the undergraduate medical students had knowledge about bedside ethics and its principle. Inculcation of ethics as a subject into the curriculum of MBBS students is suggested.

Published: July 2024

Background: Nomophobia is mobile phone addiction, characterized by an intense and irrational fear of being without a mobile phone, which affects the sleep and leisure activities of youth. The study examined the relationship between nomophobia, sleep deprivation, and leisure activities. It also measured the mediating role of nomophobia between sleep deprivation and leisure activities and find out demographic differences (age, gender, education, socioeconomic status) on nomophobia, sleep deprivation, and leisure activities. Methods: Conveniently selected sample of 500 adolescents and young adults from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, after informed consent, was measured on Nomophobia Questionnaire, Athens Insomnia Scale, and Pittsburg Enjoyable Activities Scale. The data were collected from March to August 2019. The sample was further divided based on age (adolescents 250) (young adults 250). Results: Nomophobia has a significant positive correlation with sleep deprivation and has a significant negative correlation with leisure activities. Nomophobia significantly mediated between sleep deprivation and leisure activities. Significant differences of age, socio-economic status, and education on nomophobia, sleep deprivation, and leisure activities were found. Furthermore, significant gender differences were found on nomophobia and leisure activities, while non-significant gender differences were concluded on sleep deprivation. Conclusion: Nomophobia and sleep deprivation are greater in adolescents who belong to lower social class, while involvement in leisure activities is higher in young adults who belong to upper social class. Females have a higher level of nomophobia and involve less in leisure activities than males.

Authors: Saeed Gule Naghma , Ahsin Sadia , Sarwar Madiha 
Published: July 2024

Background: Chemotherapy-induced hepatotoxicity can be mitigated by use of antioxidants, which may help the liver to recover its endogenous antioxidant mechanism. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of sea buckthorn berry seed oil (SBO) in attenuating cyclophosphamide-induced changes in liver enzymes and liver histology in BALB/c mice. Methods: This experimental study was conducted in Physiology Department of Foundation University School of Health Sciences (FUSH), in collaboration with Pathology Department, FUSH and National Institute of Health, Islamabad from Jan 2018 to Jun 2019. Thirty healthy male BALB/c mice were divided into 3 groups of 10 each. Group-1 served as control. Group-2 received cyclophosphamide (25 mg/Kg body weight) intraperitoneally for 10 days. Group-3 was co-administered cyclophosphamide (same dose) with of sea buckthorn berry seed oil (40 mg/Kg body weight) orally for ten days. All animals were sacrificed on 11th day. Serum levels of liver enzymes as liver injury biomarkers were assayed. Liver histopathology was carried out for evidence of hepatic injury and recovery. Results: Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) increased significantly in Group-2 (p<0.05). In Group-3, the rise in hepatic injury serum markers was significantly less than Group-2 (p<0.05). Upon histological examination, Group-2 was grade 5 according to Kleiner’s scoring system for steatohepatitis, and had grade 2 sinusoidal dilatation on Rubbia-Brandt grading system. These changes were significantly less in Group-3 (p<0.05). Conclusion: Co-administration of SBO mitigated the CP-induced rise in hepatic injury biomarkers and sinusoidal injury.
