Published: November 2023

The present framework has as its goal the design and synthesis and characterization of new mononuclear 1:1:1 (M:L:Q) mixed-ligand complexes, including FeLQ, CoLQ, NiLQ, CuLQ, and ZnLQ. The "L," is the 4-[(4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)hydrazono]methylphenyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate, while the "Q," is the 8-hydroxy quinoline. According to the findings, L and Q ligands each play the role of a neutral bi-dentate NN and a monobasic bi-dentate ON ligand, respectively. The findings demonstrated an octahedral shape. The density functional theory (DFT) technique was employed, and the quantum chemical descriptors were assessed, to optimize the molecular structure of the compounds. An in vitro investigation was carried out to investigate the antibacterial and antifungal activities of the compounds. According to the findings, the activity of metal complexes as potential candidates for use as antibiotics and antifungals is much greater than that of their free ligands. The in-silico inhibition of the 1fj4 protein was investigated using molecular docking. ZnLQ complex was the one that inhibited the 1fj4 protein with the greatest degree of success. The fact that this is the case lends credence to the notion that these compounds have the potential to function as launchpads for the development of new classes of antibiotics.

Published: November 2023

The focus of this research was to synthesize biogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the essential oil of the aerial part of Cyclospermum leptophyllum (CLEO) and investigate their colorimetric determination of metallic ions. In the synthesis of CLEO mediated AgNPs (CLEO-AgNPs), the one-factor-at-a-time method was used to optimize the reaction parameters. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) peak of CLEO-AgNPs was determined at 426 nm. Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectra analysis identified the functional groups participating in the bio-reducing, capping, and stabilizing processes in the CLEO-AgNPs synthesis. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image demonstrated the predominately spherical shape and the average size of 70.86+1.80 nm of CLEO-AgNPs. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) peak profile depicted the presence of Ag elements in CLEO-AgNPs. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks observed at 38.5°, 44°, 65°, and 77° which represent Ag(111), Ag(200), Ag(220), and Ag(311) lattice faces, respectively. The average zeta nanosize, zeta potential, and polydispersity index of CLEO-AgNPs were determined as 69.70 nm, -43.5 mV, and 0.256, respectively. The stability test exhibited the prolonged storage stability of CLEO-AgNPs for over six months at room temperature. CLEO-AgNPs demonstrated the potential colorimetric detection of K+, Mg2+, Al3+, Cr6+, Mn2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, Pb2+, and Cd2+ ions in the real samples.

Abstract: Artificial intelligence can be considered the main achievement of the modern world and the driving factor for developing new opportunities. It can be used in almost all sectors of the economy. Despite the mistrust of a certain part of society towards artificial intelligence and the caution shown during its use, due to the limitless possibilities of artificial intelligence, it is inevitable that its role will increase in the economic development of countries and progress in general.
The article explores and evaluates the possibilities of using artificial intelligence in the process of managing international migration and ensuring border security. Currently, there is no unified model of international migration management. However, the sharing of migration management's best practices by developing countries, the use of innovative technologies and artificial intelligence significantly improve the legal framework of migration processes and the safe movement of migrants.
Is it always Laryngopharyngeal Reflux? How Voice Disorders Can Manifest as LPR
Authors: Carroll Thomas L. 
Published: November 2023

Introduction. Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) manifests with a constellation of common throat symptoms and inconclusive signs on laryngoscopic exam. It is a diagnosis, often made clinically, that can lead to prescriptions of proton pump inhibitors that are unnecessary and potentially harmful. Glottic insufficiency (GI) and the accompanying hyperfunctional laryngeal behaviors can also present with similar, common throat complaints that may or may not include a qualitative change to the voice.
Methods. This is a reflection article. It is written to summarize, explain, and support with evidence the opinion of the author on the topic of how symptoms of voice disorders can easily be mistaken for symptoms of LPR. The offered reflection is based on his experience, research and the available literature.
Reflection. This article intends to explore the similarities between GI and LPR, how to ultimately differentiate them and how to approach treatment with a broader differential diagnosis.
Conclusion. LPR and GI can present with identical, vague throat, and voice symptoms. Empiric medication trials, behavioral interventions and objective laryngovideostroboscopy, impedance-based reflux, and esophageal motility testing may all be needed, sometimes in a trial and error fashion, to correctly diagnose and treat a patient’s symptoms.

Advancing the Field of Presencing
Authors: Gunnlaugson Olen 
Published: November 2023

This article makes a case for developing emerging presencing approaches (EPAs) that build from, grow alongside of, and in some cases depart from Theory U-based approaches to presencing. Drawing from the work of Dynamic Presencing, five principles are introduced to support new EPAs as a way of advancing the greater field of presencing research. Given the focus of Theory U as a change and knowledge-making practice, for some time there has been a need for alternative presencing approaches that explore epistemological, ontological, and teleological framings of presencing practices, as well as deeper embodied and consciousness approaches to the subject of presencing mastery. Toward these ends, this article is intended as a reference to catalyze new thinking and visioning for the field of presencing research.

Published: November 2023

The work aims to provide a basic knowledge of corrosion behavior and corrosion kinetics of ocean engineering steel DH36 induced by Citrobacter farmeri. This study analyzed the corrosion product composition, corrosion morphology, electrochemical information, and weight loss of DH36 in various corrosion systems. The results indicated that with the extension of soaking time, the corrosion products soaked in Citrobacter farmeri suspension were denser than those soaked in artificial seawater. The initial immersion stage led to a higher uniform corrosion rate of DH36 in C. farmeri suspension compared to in artificial seawater, which subsequently decreased over time. DH36 experienced primarily uniform corrosion when immersed in artificial seawater. In contrast, DH36 samples in C. farmeri suspension exhibited significant crevice corrosion, resulting in a maximum pit depth of 5.720 μm. Furthermore, the weight loss of DH36 in artificial seawater and C. farmeri suspension could be described by the power function formula D = 0.0006t0.9579 and D = 0.0007t0.7247, respectively. This study elucidates the fundamental mechanisms through which the presence of C. farmeri induces general and pitting corrosion of DH36 in a marine environment.

Product Leadership and Competitive Advantage of Commercial Banks in Kenya
Authors: Odhiambo Hezron , Anyieni Abel 
Published: November 2023

Purpose: Due to increased competition, the Kenyan banking system has had erratic performance in recent years. As a result, the major question is whether Kenyan commercial banks can use value disciplines to help them maintain their competitiveness. The study aimed to investigate the effect product leadership on competitiveness of Kenyan commercial banks.
Methodology:. The research used a descriptive research design. The study comprised of businesses rendering commercial banking services in Kenya. A non-probability method of sampling was utilized. Structured questionnaires were used as applicable. The study targeted all the 42 Kenyan commercial banks/lenders. The 42 commercial bank managers were targeted as the unit of observation and the 42 commercial banks as the unit of analysis. Since the population in the current study was small but adequate for study research, that is, 42, the study used a census survey (thus no sampling was done) and thus the targeted population were still the commercial banks. Questionnaires were the instruments of data collection. The SPSS application was used to help with this analysis (v.25.0). Descriptive analytics and inferential metrics were used to analyze the data. Charts, graphs, tables, diagrams, and illustrations were used to present the findings.
Results: The findings indicated that product leadership has a positive and significant relationship with the competitive advantage of Kenyan lenders (β =0.359, p=0.000). This implies that gains in a single unit of product leadership result in a 0.359-unit shift in the competitive edge of Kenyan lenders.
Contribution to policy and practice: The study reveals a positive and significant connection between product leadership and the competitive advantage of Kenyan commercial banks/lenders. This suggests that banks that focus on developing innovative products, offering unique value propositions, and staying ahead in terms of product offerings are more likely to attain a competitive advantage. This finding contributes to knowledge by emphasizing the importance of product innovation and differentiation for achieving a competitive edge in the banking industry.
