Authors: Ali Muhammad , Batool Farwah , Rahat Rohail , Rafique Muhammad Furqan 
Published: May 2024

This article focuses on analyzing and exploring the implication of blue motifs in terms of the representation of Islamic architecture in Pakistan. Architecture holds a great deal of importance within every nation's social and cultural domains. In the same way, architecture has played a significant role in dispensing Islam as a religion. The manifestation and reflection of blue motifs are present in various forms, such as formal, structural, and spatial. Moreover, these shapes carry symbolic connotations when presented in the form of ornamentation, geometrical patterns, floral displays, and arabesque. Furthermore, this study provides a valuable contribution to enhancing the awareness of the significance and representation of blue motifs in the Islamic architecture of Pakistan for the research. Secondary and primary data were collected to achieve the objectives of the study. The study concludes that mosques and shrines in Pakistan are loaded with examples in which the representation of blue motifs within the domain of Islamic architecture is quite evident.

Published: May 2024

The EFL (English as a Foreign Language) participation and engagement of third-age learners, whose ages range from 50 up to 70 and above has received global attention. Japanese third-age learners' pursuit of English competence exhibits broader societal trends and personal desires for lifelong learning. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational approach, the study assessed the level of English language proficiency (ELP) of 59 Japanese third-age learners registered in the 2023-2024 EFL program in five cities of Aichi prefecture, Japan, when they were taken as a whole and when they were demographically grouped by sex, age, educational background, and weekly average study time. The results show that on average, third-age learners in Japan achieve an intermediate level of English proficiency or B1, with variances observed attributed to demographic criteria such as sex, age, educational background, and weekly English study time. The study found a significant relationship between ELP and the respondents’ demographic, indicating that ELP levels are influenced by sex, age, educational attainment, and the number of hours spent learning English per week, with males showing higher proficiency and older learners generally showing higher levels. The study underscores the need for tailored English language instruction for third-age learners, taking into account their specific demographics. It also considers the policy implications of institutionalizing programs for third-age learners in Japan, aiming to promote active aging, social integration, and overall well-being. Researchers, teachers, and curriculum designers may use this study as one of the bases for developing tailored curricula and instructional materials for third-age learners.

BEYOND GROWTH: SHIFTING THE PARADIGM BY EMBRACING MATURITY
Authors: PIZZUL DARIO 
Published: May 2024

For many years in the twentieth century, economic growth was synonymous with progress. In the twenty-first century, growth still holds a central place in the concept of development in Western societies, despite being identified as a fetish or an ideology, and its limits having been recognised for decades. Most recently, new debates on the need to develop a paradigm not exclusively based on growth have emerged again in Europe. Scholars have been reflecting on the idea of “beyond growth”, proposing models for new green growth, advocating for degrowth, or suggesting a radical evolution of growth. Next to these perspectives, this contribution suggests that the concept of maturity could successfully shape a new narrative on “beyond growth”. To better describe the idea of maturity, which implies that development is possible without necessarily entailing expansion, two cases are analysed. At the macro level, the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act demonstrates that a new economic approach is possible, featuring bold investments in clean energy. However, the paradigm shift toward a system that does not revolve around growth is not yet in sight in this case. Conversely, at the micro level, the analysed case of some Italian winemakers illustrates what it truly means to value maturity in business activities. Beyond these two cases, further opportunities for alternative development are explored, focusing on digital transformation. It is framed as an opportunity for increased life chances while acknowledging that the same old capitalist logic remains deeply entrenched in it and may jeopardise the opportunities.
Routine 2-Week Postoperative Radiographs After Geriatric Hip Fracture Fixation: Low Utility and High Cost
Authors: Monir Joseph G. , Kuhn M. Zino , Vasilopoulos Terrie , Hagen Jennifer E. 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Geriatric hip fractures are associated with a large financial burden on both patients and payors, yet minimal data exist regarding postoperative cost optimization and guidelines for delivering high-value care. We assessed the utility and cost of routine radiographs at the first postoperative visit (FPOV) after fixation of geriatric hip fractures.

Methods:
We retrospectively evaluated patients with isolated geriatric hip fractures treated with internal fixation between January 2018 and September 2020. Medical records were reviewed to assess whether radiographs at the FPOV changed management. Direct costs of radiographs at the FPOV were estimated using Medicare Fee Schedule data. Indirect costs were estimated by assessing transportation costs. National costs were estimated by extrapolating institutional and Medicare data to the estimated 300,000 to 500,000 annual hip fractures in the United States.

Results:
Two hundred forty-one patients were included. A majority had intertrochanteric fractures (80%), were injured because of a ground-level fall (94%), and received long intramedullary nails (73%). One patient (1/241, 0.41%) had their postoperative management changed by FPOV radiographs, and that patient had an acute reinjury before their FPOV. Patients discharged home (50/241, 21%) traveled mean 51.3 miles each way, and those discharged to another facility (191/241, 79%) traveled mean 24.1 miles each way. The national estimated direct cost of routine radiographs at the FPOV totaled $10.9 to $18.2 m annually. The national indirect costs are estimated to be $1.2 to $1.9 m annually for patients discharged home and $63.4 to $105.7 m annually for patients discharged to a facility.

Conclusions:
Routine radiographs at the FPOV after internal fixation of geriatric hip fractures may not change management and should only be obtained when specifically indicated. Elimination of routine radiographs and conduction of the FPOV virtually by telemedicine could result in national cost savings of estimated $75.5 to $125.8 m annually without compromising quality of care.

Published: May 2024

Introduction:
Three-dimensional (3D) printed models may help patients understand complex anatomic pathologies such as femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). We aimed to assess patient understanding and satisfaction when using 3D printed models compared with standard imaging modalities for discussion of FAIS diagnosis and surgical plan.

Methods:
A consecutive series of 76 new patients with FAIS (37 patients in the 3D model cohort and 39 in the control cohort) from a single surgeon's clinic were educated using imaging and representative 3D printed models of FAI or imaging without models (control). Patients received a voluntary post-visit questionnaire that evaluated their understanding of the diagnosis, surgical plan, and visit satisfaction.

Results:
Patients in the 3D model cohort reported a significantly higher mean understanding of FAIS (90.0 ± 11.5 versus 79.8 ± 14.9 out of 100; P = 0.001) and surgery (89.5 ± 11.6 versus 81.0 ± 14.5; P = 0.01) compared with the control cohort. Both groups reported high levels of satisfaction with the visit.

Conclusion:
In this study, the use of 3D printed models in clinic visits with patients with FAIS improved patients' perceived understanding of diagnosis and surgical treatment.

Published: May 2024

This diploma thesis deals with the issue of nitrite products in sausages by gas chromatography. These products may have carcinogenic or mutagenic properties. In this thesis, method for determination of 4-cyanophenol and N-nitrosoproline in sausages by gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection was developed. A solution of formic acid in acetonitrile was used for analyte extraction. Prior to analysis, analytes must be derivatized by N,O-bis-(trimethylsilyl)-trifluoracetamide. The developed method was applied to real sausages samples. The standard addition method is used for the quantification of analytes.
Literature Review: Relationship of Lifestyle with Incidence of Primary Dysmenorrhea in College Students
Authors: Maharani Maharani , Khumairoh Rizzatul 
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Menstruation is periodic and cyclic bleeding from the uterus, accompanied by endometrial desquamation. In specific individuals, menstruation can cause pain called dysmenorrhea, which is characterized by mild, moderate, and severe menstrual pain. Primary dysmenorrhea is not a life-threatening disorder, but it can hurt women's quality of life. Prevalence of menopause in Indonesia An estimated 55% of women of reproductive age experience pain during menstruation.
Material and Methods: We searched articles published from 2014-2020 in PubMed, Proquest, and Google Scholar with the keywords "primary dysmenorrhea” AND “student lifestyle”. All data were gathered and analyzed.
Results: The results showed that 8 articles showed the relationship between lifestyle and the occurrence of primary menstrual pain among female students. In comparison, the other two articles show that there is no relationship between lifestyle and primary dysmenorrhea in female students.
Conclusion: This study concludes that an unhealthy lifestyle, such as high stress levels, infrequent exercise, and frequent consumption of fast food, is effective for primary dysmenorrhea during menstruation.
Finite element stress analysis in mandibular molars with apical root resorption and crown destruction after root canal treatment using various materials
Authors: Duran Serkan , Şirin Dursun Ali , Topbaş Celalettin 
Published: May 2024

Aim: The objective of this study is to analyze the stress distribution of root canal treated teeth under occlusal forces and aid in the selection of appropriate materials for teeth with root tip resorption and crown destruction, using the finite element stress analysis method (FEM).
Methods: The study was conducted on two-rooted lower molar teeth, divided into five groups. The root length was 14 mm, the crown length was 7.5 mm, and the total length was 21.5 mm. It was assumed that the distal canals were resorbed by 4 mm. Group 1 consisted of untreated intact teeth. Group 2 involved filling the mesial canals with gutta-percha, filling the apical part of the distal canal with 4 mm Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), and fabricating the crown using glass fiber post and IPS e.max materials. Group 3 involved filling the mesial canals with gutta-percha, filling the apical part of the distal canal with 4 mm Biodentin, and manufacturing the crown using glass fiber post and IPS e.max materials. Group 4: The canals were filled with MTA, and an IPS e.max endocrown was used. Group 5: The canals were filled with Biodentin and an IPS e.max endocrown was used. The study examined the effect of a 100 Newton force applied in the occlusal direction on dental tissues using finite element stress analysis.
Results: The study found that the application of fiber posts resulted in less stress accumulation in tooth tissues compared to endocrown.
Conclusion: The use of Biodentin or MTA in endocrown teeth did not affect the stress in tooth tissues caused by applied force. In conclusion, while fiber posts increase durability by reducing stress in root-end resorbed teeth, the effect of Biodentin or MTA on stress resistance in dental tissues is limited.
