Authors: Muma Shadrack , Naidoo Kovin Shunmugam , Hansraj Rekha 
Published: March 2024

Background
In developing countries such as Kenya, minimal attention has been directed towards population based studies on uncorrected refractive error (URE). However, the absence of population based studies, warrants utilization of other avenues to showcase to the stakeholders in eye health the worth of addressing URE. Hence this study estimated the lost productivity to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a result of URE and the national cost required to address visual impairment from URE in Kenya.

Methods
The lost productivity to the GDP for the population aged 16–60 years was calculated. Thereafter the productivity loss of the caregivers of severe visual impaired individuals was computed as a product of the average annual productivity for each caregiver and a 5% productivity loss due to visual impairment. The productivity benefit of correcting refractive error was estimated based on the minimum wage for individuals aged between 16–60 years with URE. Estimation of the national cost of addressing URE was based on spectacle provision cost, cost of training functional clinical refractionists and the cost of establishing vision centres. A cost benefit analysis was undertaken based on the national cost estimates and a factor of 3.5 times.

Results
The estimated lost productivity to the GDP due to URE in in Kenya is approximately US$ 671,455,575 -US$ 1,044,486,450 annually for population aged between 16–60 years. The productivity loss of caregivers for the severe visually impaired is approximately US$ 13,882,899 annually. Approximately US$ 246,750,000 is required to provide corrective devices, US$ 413,280- US$ 108,262,300 to train clinical refractionists and US$ 39,800,000 to establish vision centres. The productivity benefit of correcting visual impairment is approximately US$ 41,126,400 annually. Finally, a cost benefit analysis showed a return of US$ 378,918,050 for human resources, US$ 863,625,000 for corrective devices and US$ 139,300,000 for establishment of vision centres.

Conclusion
The magnitude of productivity loss due to URE in Kenya is significant warranting prioritization of refractive error services by the government and all stakeholders since any investment directed towards addressing URE has the potential to contribute a positive return.
La technique du labyrinthe dans Les Éthiopiques d’Héliodore
Authors: Graebin Geruza de Souza 
Published: March 2024

Héliodore est connu pour sa technique narrative élaborée. Cet effet est dû à l’ekphrasis, une ressource largement employée par les sophistes et recommandée dans les manuels de rhétorique (Progymnasmata). Dans le premier bloc de l’œuvre, Héliodore utilise cette ressource, mais pas au hasard. Il y a une image, littéral ou métaphoriquement se répète : le labyrinthe. Notre intention est de démontrer que les répétitions ont un point commun, en plus d’un fort attrait herméneutique. De plus, les labyrinthes sont introduits dans la partie où le récit est habilement écrit in medias res. C’ést précisément dans ce passage que le lecteur, comme dans un labyrinthe, est sinueusement conduit par plusieurs chemins, jusqu’à ce qu’il atteigne la compréhension de la scène d’ouverture, à l’embouchure du Nil. L’analyse des procédures utilisées par Héliodore permet de conclure que la succession de labyrinthes textuels ou imagethiques place le lecteur dans un jeu, dont il ne pourra sortir qu’à la fin du cinquième livre.

Community service is carried out by conducting endowment socialization for high school / MA students in order to foster social awareness through endowments, bearing in mind that the community's understanding of endowment is only synonymous with parents and those who have wealth. Through waqf literacy with waqf tests strategies aimed at assessing students' understanding of waqf, fostering interest in waqf among students or the community itself, creating students and communities who are socially aware through waqf. This method of socialization uses the method of direct teaching patterns, questions and answers, and assignments or tests. The socialization participants consisted of 33 students from class XI IPS MAN 4 Bantul. The total number of pre-test and post-test questions is 10 questions that are true or false. Where each question has 10 points. From the results of the pre-test evaluation, an average value of 59.39 was obtained with a vulnerable value of 30-70 and the results of the post-test evaluation obtained an average value of 81.21 with a vulnerable value of 70-100. The results of the overall evaluation there was a significant increase in value of 21.82, the results showed the method was considered quite useful in terms of grades and enthusiasm of the students.

Existence of strong solutions for one-dimensional reflected mixed stochastic delay differential equations
Authors: Chadad Monir , Erraoui Mohamed 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Relying on the pathwise uniqueness property, we prove existence of the strong solution of a one-dimensional reflected stochastic delay equation driven by a mixture of independent Brownian and fractional Brownian motions. The difficulty is that on the one hand we cannot use the fixed-point and contraction mapping methods because of the stochastic and pathwise integrals, and on the other hand the non-continuity of the Skorokhod map with respect to the norms considered.

On random pairwise comparisons matrices and their geometry
Authors: Magnot Jean-Pierre 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
We describe a framework for random pairwise comparisons matrices, inspired by selected constructions related to the so called inconsistency reduction of pairwise comparisons (PC) matrices. In order to build up structures on random pairwise comparisons matrices, the set up for (deterministic) PC matrices for non-reciprocal PC matrices is completed. Basic concepts such as inconsistency indices and geometric mean method are extended to random pairwise comparisons matrices and completed by new notions which seem useful to us. Two procedures for (random) inconsistency reduction are sketched, based on well-known existing objects, and a fiber bundle-like decomposition of random pairwise comparisons is proposed.

A brief survey on the development and applications of Goebel’s coincidence point theorem in differential and integral equations
Authors: Bisht Ravindra K. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Goebel’s coincidence theorem, a remarkably simple extension of Banach’s contraction principle widely applied in analysis, has found significant utility in the theory of differential and integral equations. Over the past fifty years, researchers have endeavored to generalize the definition of a metric space, thereby extending the scope of Goebel’s coincidence theorem to diverse settings. This survey paper overviews valuable insights into Goebel’s coincidence theorem’s historical background, its relevance in the field of fixed point theory, and its practical implications in solving problems related to differential and integral equations.

Let-7 family regulates HaCaT cell proliferation and apoptosis via the ΔNp63/PI3K/AKT pathway
Authors: Li Min , Ding Yi , Tuersong Tayier , Chen Long , Zhang Mei-Lin , Li Tian , Feng Shu-Mei , Guo Qiong 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
We evaluated the expression profiles of differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) involved in human fetal skin development via high-throughput sequencing to explore the expression difference and the regulatory role of miRNA in different stages of fetal skin development. Analysis of expression profiles of miRNAs involved collecting embryo samples via high-throughput sequencing, then bioinformatics analyses were performed to validate DEmiRNAs. A total of 363 miRNAs were differentially expressed during the early and mid-pregnancy of development, and upregulated DEmiRNAs were mainly concentrated in the let-7 family. The transfection of let-7b-5p slowed down HaCaT cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis, as evidenced by the cell counting kit-8 assay, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and flow cytometry. The double luciferin reporter assay also confirmed let-7b-5p and ΔNp63 downregulation through the combination with the 3ʹ-untranslated region of ΔNp63. Moreover, treatment with a let-7b-5p inhibitor upregulated ΔNp63 and activated the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway. The let-7b-5p caused a converse effect on HaCaT cells because of Np63 upregulation. Let-7b-5p regulates skin development by targeting ΔNp63 via PI3K-AKT signaling, contributing to future studies on skin development and clinical scar-free healing.

Abstract
This article reports on the synthesis, characterization, and application of titanium dioxide quantum dots (TDS) for wastewater treatment. Three TDS samples were synthesized via a low-temperature precipitation method with calcination at 280°C (TDS1), 290°C (TDS2), and 300°C (TDS3). Characterization techniques such as X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy confirmed the high crystallinity, purity, and quantum confinement of the TDS with sizes of 3.1, 5.5, and 8.5 nm, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of TDS was evaluated by degrading Congo red dye under xenon lamp irradiation. TDS1, with the smallest size of 3.1 nm and the largest bandgap of 3.09 eV, showed the highest photodegradation rate of 22.49 × 10−3 S−1. TDS1 also showed effective degradation of real industrial textile wastewater under sunlight over nine repeated cycles of use. The antibacterial activity of TDS against Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans was demonstrated, with the highest inhibition by TDS1 attributed to its higher surface area. Overall, the study shows the high photocatalytic and antimicrobial potential of synthesized TDS, especially the smallest 3.1 nm TDS1 sample. The recycling results also showcase the reusability of TDS for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Various derivatives of cinnamic acid have been reported to possess significant activities such as antioxidant and hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective activities. Interestingly, testicular toxicity has been linked to several causes, with oxidative damage being one of the pathophysiological mechanisms. 3-(4-methoxyphenyl) acrylic acid (1), a derivative of cinnamic acid, was synthesized and then investigated for its effects on iron-induced testicular injury and oxidative stress via ex vivo and in silico studies, respectively. Evaluations were done on KAD-1’s FRAP, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, and iron chelating potential. Through the ex vivo incubation of tissue supernatant and 0.1 mM FeSO4 for 30 min at 37 °C with different concentration of 1, oxidative testicular damage treatments were induced. The scavenging property of 1 increases significantly (p < 0.05) as the concentration increases when compared with the standard quercetin. The MDA, CAT, ATPase, and ENTPDase activities were reduced when testicular damage was induced (p < 0.05). The group treated with 30 mg/mL had the highest level of MDA. A significant rise in GSH level and activity of SOD were observed. The result obtained indicated that 1 has the potential to prevent oxidative testicular toxicity, as evidenced by its capacity to control nucleotide hydrolysis and reduce oxidative stress. Overall, the results of this experimental study point to some possible uses of 3-(4-methoxyphenyl) acrylic acid (1) in the prevention of oxidative testicular dysfunction. Therefore, 3-(4-methoxyphenyl) acrylic acid (1) would be a good product in developing a medication to alleviate male infertility.
New Light on the Land of Sūḫu
Authors: Edmonds Alexander Johannes 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
In this review article, Philippe Clancier’s recent monograph on the history of the overlooked Late Bronze and Early Iron-age polity of Sūḫu lying on the Middle Euphrates is examined. It is demonstrated that the central contention of two identically named polities of Sūḫu (“Eastern” and “Western Sūḫu” respectively), ruled by two competing dynasties with differing political relationships to Assyria, is not supported by the textual record. As a corrective, a new comprehensive political history of Sūḫu in the early first millennium BC is presented here, as a basis for future research.

Published: March 2024

AbstractA new series expansion-based method, the Combined Geoelectric Weighted Inversion (CGWI) procedure is presented and tested by using synthetic and in-field measured datasets. The method is an improved version of the Combined Geoelectric Inversion (CGI) robustified by involving Cauchy-Steiner weights in an Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares technique. The new procedure is compared to the Fourier series expansion-based 1.5D and the CGI methods as well as to the broadly applied RES2DINV inversion procedure. The field measurements are performed during stone exploration in an active quarry on the south-western slopes of the Mátra mountains, in northern Hungary. It is shown that the CGWI method gives stable and robust parameter estimation with acceptable accuracy. The comparison with other inversion methods is based on data distances, estimation errors and correlation parameters calculated on the base of the parameter correlation matrix.
Social capital and trust: The ‘fuel’ of local integration of rural and small-town enterprises
Authors: Tomay Kyra , Hegedűs Márk 
Published: March 2024

In the present article we examine a sub-segment of the locally integrated social group: rural small entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are especially interesting from the integration point of view since in the current academic discourse, entrepreneurship is considered as a contextual process, in which entrepreneurs depend on local information and resources, and base their activities on the needs of the local environment, therefore, rural entrepreneurs are commonly studied through the concepts of local embeddedness, social capital and trust. The aim of our paper is to contribute to the understanding of the those mechanisms: the impact of trust among entrepreneurs and their social networks resulting the local integration of this rural group. The study based on 25 semi-structured in-depth interviews, focuses on the role of values, attitudes, social capital and trust networks in local economic success in three Hungarian settlements of different size: a small village of 300, a small town of 3,000 and a medium-sized town of 30,000 inhabitants. Our conclusion is that in case of rural small entrepreneurship, community resources (values, attitudes, social capital and trust) are of chief role in the foundation and existence of a local entrepreneurial ecosystem, however, their efforts have to be accompanied by an institutional framework to make them sustainable in the long term.
