Selective adsorption of tetracycline by β-CD-immobilizing sodium alginate aerogel coupled with ultrafiltration for reclaimed water
Authors: Quan Xi , Zhang Jun , Yin Linlin , Zuo Wei , Tian Yu 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
β-CD-immobilizing sodium alginate aerogel (β-CD/NaAlg) was fabricated using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a modification reagent to eliminate tetracycline antibiotics from wastewater. β-CD/NaAlg aerogel with the β-CD/NaAlg molar ratio of 9 achieved the maximum removal rate of more than 70% for tetracycline in 8 h, 1.5 g/L of adsorbent dosage, and pH of 4. Tetracycline adsorption on β-CD/NaAlg aerogel was aligned with the Freundlich and pseudo-second-order model, showing that this process was mostly controlled by chemisorption. According to XPS analyses and DFT simulations, the tetracycline adsorption mechanism via β-CD/NaAlg aerogel is ascribed to electrostatic attraction through carboxyl groups and amido groups, hydrogen bonds connecting hydroxyl groups, as well as van der Waals forces. Besides, the as-prepared aerogel had a good reusability with the removal efficiencies of 55.3% for tetracycline even after repeating five times. Additionally, the couple of β-CD/NaAlg aerogel greatly improved selective separation performance for tetracycline antibiotics of the ultrafiltration membrane. In general, the synthesized β-CD/NaAlg aerogel is constructive for strategies to develop novel green, metal-free and stable adsorbent materials.

Abstract
Students' poor performance in both internal and external examinations has long been a source of concern for educators and other stakeholders. This poor performance has been linked to teachers' teaching quality and instructional strategies used. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of computer simulation on students' performance and retention in the kinetic theory of gas and gas laws in Ilorin, Kwara State. The study was a quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test, non-randomized 2×2×2 factorial design. A total of 40 students from two randomly selected senior secondary schools were involved, including 17 students in the experimental group and 23 in the control group. The research instruments were a Physics Education Technology (PhET) simulation developed by the University of Colorado Boulder, a Physics Performance Test (PPT), and a Physics Retention Test (PRT). The reliability of both PPT and PRT was tested using KR-21 with indices values of 0.855 and 0.769, respectively. The research utilized the 5E Instructional model to implement the computer simulation. The research findings revealed that the experimental group had better performance and retention than the control group in the kinetic theory of gas and Gas laws. Also, there was no significant difference in the performance of students taught the kinetic theory of gas and gas laws (t=1.96, p=0.761, p>0.05). Also, although the experimental group's female students outperformed the male students, there was no significant difference in the students' performance in terms of gender (f=2.82, p=0.115, p>0.05). The study recommends that science teachers integrate cutting-hedge simulation into their instructional modes, especially when teaching physics. Also, there should be training for both pre-service and in-service science teachers on development and how to access appropriate computer simulations for their lessons.

Strategic International Asset Allocation under a Quadratic Model with Exchange Rate and Inflation-Deflation Risks
Authors: Kusuda Koji , Kikuchi Kentaro , Batbold Bolorsuvd 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This study considers a consumption and international investment problem under a quadratic model, where interest rates, the market price of risk, the variances and covariances of asset returns, inflation rates, and exchange rates are stochastic. We assume that the state vector consists of the global state and the currency-specific state, which are independent. We derive the optimal consumption and international portfolio analytically. We obtain the following results: i) The indirect utility function, optimal consumption, and optimal investment depend not only on each of the global state and the currency-specific state, but also on the interaction of the two states; ii) The optimal international portfolio is a nonlinear function not only of the global state but also of the currency-specific state, and depends on the currency-specific state, the domestic market price of currency-specific risk, the differences between the domestic and foreign market prices of global risk and of currency-specific risk, in addition to the global state and the domestic market price of global risk. These results suggest that the market timing effects are more important in the international portfolio than in the domestic portfolio.
Aufgabenentwicklung für einen inklusiven Kunstunterricht. Zu einem Spannungsfeld zwischen Re- und Dekategorisierung
Authors: Kaiser Michaela 
Published: October 2023

Aufgaben in einem inklusiven Kunstunterricht werden mehrheitlich als eine Praxis verstanden, die auf Lern- und Leistungsunterschiede reagiert und diese zu bearbeiten sucht – liegt diesen doch die Vorstellung einer möglichst optimalen Lern- und Leistungsentwicklung zugrunde. Im Rahmen des Beitrags werden entwicklungsorientierte Bildungsziele des Kunstunterrichts nach­gezeichnet und unter Rückgriff auf praxeologische und performative Theorienbestände wird aufgezeigt, dass die Konstruktion entwicklungsorientierter Aufgaben im Kunstunterricht nicht allein als Reaktion auf Differenz und als Bearbeitung von Differenzverhältnissen, sondern auch als an der Erzeugung von Differenzen und damit als an der (Re-)Produktion von Normen und Hierarchisierungen aktiv beteiligt verstanden werden kann. Diese Perspektivierung eröffnet den Blick auf die ambivalenten Effekte des oft konstitutiven Bezugs auf Lern- und Leistungs­differenzen in der Konstruktion kunstunterrichtlicher Aufgaben. In einem abschließenden Schritt werden Anfragen an eine dekonstruktive Lesart kunstunterrichtlicher Aufgaben gestellt.

Abstract
Tasks in an inclusive arts classroom are widely understood as a practice that responds to and seeks to address differences in learning and performance - this is based on the notion of optimal learning and performance development. In the context of this article, development-oriented educational goals of art class are traced and, with recourse to praxeological and performative theories, it is shown that the construction of development-oriented tasks in art class cannot be understood solely as a reaction to difference and as a processing of relations of difference, but also as actively involved in the production of differences and thus in the (re)production of norms and hierarchizations. This perspectivization provides a view of the ambivalent effects of the often constitutive reference to learning and performance differences in the construction of tasks in art class. In a concluding step, questions are raised about a deconstructive reading of art instructional tasks.

Abstract:
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment of cancer patients who take a
photosensitizer and expose their tumours to light after administering it topically or intravenously.
Understanding apoptosis under oxidative conditions makes PDT a more effective treatment. Tissue
oxygen, tumour-selective photosensitizer dyes, and customised lighting are needed to create fatal reactive
oxygen species (ROS) in cancer. PDT has decreased morbidity and improved survival and status
of life when used in combination with other treatments, especially in early-stage malignant tumours.
Using interstitial light delivery, PDT can cure large, hidden tumours that would otherwise
necessitate extensive surgery. This overview describes the foundational historical work that has
shaped the technique since the early 1900s. PDT's efficacy is also increased by innovative photosensitizers
and tweaks that increase tumour selectivity. Adverse effects and treatment during therapy, as
well as innovative PDT-based applications, are explored in this review. Finally, PDT research gaps
and clinical trials have been identified as potential issues.
Herbal Medicine- A Friend or a Foe of Cardiovascular Disease
Authors: Kaur Harmanjit , Singh Samneet , Kanagala Sai G. , Gupta Vasu , Patel Meet A. , Jain Rohit 
Published: October 2023

Background:
Herbal remedies are used by 80% of the Asian population in primary
health care as per WHO. According to current research, the herbal medicine market was valued
at nearly USD 166 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach approximately USD 348 billion by
2028. Increased incidence of chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma, coronary artery disease,
osteoarthritis, has fueled the growing interest in traditional herbal and plant-derived treatments
among researchers. In addition, rural communities in developing nations have renewed
interest in herbal treatments due to lower cost and easy availability.

Objective:
Aim of the paper is to highlight the role of five of more commonly used herbal medicines
that are Ginkgo biloba, Garlic, Flaxseed, Ginseng, Salvia miltiorrhiza in cardiovascular
disorders.

Methods:
A PubMed search was done using the keywords Herbal Medicine, Ginkgo biloba, Garlic,
Flaxseed, Ginseng, Salvia miltiorrhiza. Articles which were available for free access were
utilized. No formula inclusion or exclusion criteria was followed. A total of 42 papers were included
for the study.

Conclusion:
Although there have been encouraging outcomes with the use of these herbal medications,
many of these products are poorly monitored and are yet to be studied in detail regarding
their adverse effects. Moreover, these medicinal products are known to interact with various
drugs. To compete with the expanding pharmaceutical industry, more medicinally helpful herbal
items must be used and scientifically validated.
Radiolabeling of Zonisamide for a Diagnostic Perspective
Authors: Dervis Emine , Karatay Kadriye Busra , Durkan Kubra , Kilcar Ayfer Yurt 
Published: October 2023

Objective::
Epilepsy is one of the oldest and the most common chronic neurological
diseases. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are the backbone of epilepsy treatment. However, epileptogenesis
has not been fully elucidated. One of the critical reasons for this is the lack of reliable
biomarkers. Neuroimaging suggests a non-invasive examination and investigation tool that can
detect critical pathophysiological changes involved in epileptogenesis and monitor disease progression.
In the current study, the radiolabeling potential of Zonisamide (ZNS) (the secondgeneration
AED) with Technetium-99m (99mTc) is examined to neuroimage the epileptogenic
processes by contributing to the development of potential radiotracers.

Methods::
ZNS was labeled with 99mTc and the radiochemical yield of [99mTc]Tc-ZNS was determined
with TLRC (Thin Layer Liquid Radio Chromatography and HPLRC (High Performance
Liquid Radio Chromatography) radiochromatographic methods. In vitro behavior of
[99mTc]Tc-ZNS was determined with time-dependent uptake of [99mTc]Tc-ZNS on the SHSY5Y
human neuroblastoma cells.

Results::
The radiochemical yield of [99mTc]Tc-ZNS was determined as 98.03 ± 1.24% (n = 6)
according to radiochromatographic studies results. [99mTc]Tc-ZNS demonstrated 5.38 and 6.18
times higher uptake values than the control group on the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell
line at 120 and 240 minutes, respectively.

Conclusion::
This study showed that the current radiolabeled antiepileptic drug has a diagnostic
potential to be used in imaging neurological processes.

Authors: Thakur Mamta , Pal Rashmi Saxena , Pal Yogendra , Chaitanya MVNL 
Published: October 2023

Abstract:
The "lipstick tree" is another name for the ornamental plant Bixa orellana L., which is
indigenous to South and Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and other regions of Asia. The
plant, also known as "Sinduri" or "Latkan," is utilized in India's food, dye, cosmetics, and traditional medicine sectors. Commercially, the plant seeds are significant because they yield bixin, a
carotenoid that colours dairy products and is used to manufacture "sindur" and "lipstick." The
primary substances present in various portions of this plant include carotenoids, apo carotenoids,
terpenes, terpenoids, sterols, and aliphatic chemicals. The various plant parts exhibit a variety of
possible health advantages, including antibacterial, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-histaminic, anti-diarrheal, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant qualities. The current study provides
an overview of Bixa orellana L.

Authors: Masmoudi Abderrahmen , Zouari Amine , Bouzid Ahmed , Fourati Kais , Baklouti Soulaimen , Ben Amar Mohamed , Boujelben Salah 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background
Despite the existing evidence that waist circumference (WC) provides independent and additive information to BMI when predicting morbidity and mortality, this measurement is not routinely obtained in clinical practice. Using computed tomography (CT) scan images, mobile health (mHealth) has the potential to make this abdominal obesity parameter easily available even in retrospective studies.

Objective
This study aimed to develop a mobile app as a tool for facilitating the measurement of WC based on a cross-sectional CT image.

Methods
The development process included three stages: determination of the principles of WC measurement from CT images, app prototype design, and validation. We performed a preliminary validity study in which we compared WC measurements obtained both by the conventional method using a tape measurement in a standing position and by the mobile app using the last abdominal CT slice not showing the iliac bone. Pearson correlation, student t tests, and Q-Q and Bland-Altman plots were used for statistical analysis. Moreover, to perform a diagnostic test evaluation, we also analyzed the accuracy of the app in detecting abdominal obesity.

Results
We developed a prototype of the app Measure It, which is capable of estimating WC from a single cross-sectional CT image. We used an estimation based on an ellipse formula adjusted to the gender of the patient. The validity study included 20 patients (10 men and 10 women). There was a good correlation between both measurements (Pearson R=0.906). The student t test showed no significant differences between the two measurements (P=.98). Both the Q-Q dispersion plot and Bland-Altman analysis graphs showed good overlap with some dispersion of extreme values. The diagnostic test evaluation showed an accuracy of 83% when using the mobile app to detect abdominal obesity.

Conclusions
This app is a simple and accessible mHealth tool to routinely measure WC as a valuable obesity indicator in clinical and research practice. A usability and validity evaluation among medical teams will be the next step before its use in clinical trials and multicentric studies.
A Video Game for Entrepreneurship Learning in Ecuador: Development Study
Authors: Crespo-Martinez Esteban , Bueno Salvador , Gallego M Dolores 
Published: October 2023

Background
Games have been a part of human life since ancient times and are taught to children and adults who want to simultaneously have fun and learn. Nevertheless, in the third decade of this century, technology invites us to consider using video games to learn topics such as entrepreneurship. However, developing a serious game (SG) is difficult because everyone who forms part of the game development team requires adequate learning resources to acquire the necessary information and improve their game development skills.

Objective
This work aimed to detail the experience gained in developing ATIC (Aprende, Trabaja, Innova, Conquista [learn, work, innovate, conquer]), an SG proposed for teaching and learning entrepreneurship.

Methods
To develop a videogame, first, we established a game development team formed by professors, professionals, and students who have different roles in this project. Scrum was adopted as a project management method. To create concept art for the video game, designers collected ideas from various games, known as “getting references.” In contrast, narratology considers the life of a recent university graduate immersed in real life, considering locations, characteristics, and representative characters from an essential city of Ecuador

Results
In a Unity 3D video game in ATIC, the life of a university student who graduates and ventures into a world full of opportunities, barriers, and risks, where the player needs to make decisions, is simulated. The art of this video game, including sounds and music, is based on the landscape and characteristics of and characters from Cuenca, Ecuador. The game aims to teach entrepreneurs the mechanisms and processes to form their businesses. Thus, we developed the following elements of an SG: (1) world, (2) objects, (3) agents, and (4) events.

Conclusions
The narrative, mechanics, and art of video games are relevant. However, project management tools such as leaderboards and appointments are crucial to influencing individuals’ decision to continue to play, or not play, an SG. Developing a serious video game is not an easy task. It was essential to consider many factors, such as the video game audience, needs of learning, context, similarities with the real world, narrative, game mechanics, game art, and game sounds. However, overall, the primary purpose of a serious video game is to transmit knowledge in a fun way and to give adequate and timely feedback to the gamer. Finally, nothing is possible if the members of game development team are not satisfied with the project and not clear about their roles.
Ambiente educativo y éxito académico: ¿Están relacionados en la educación médica?
Authors: Laverde-Robayo Diana Marcela , Trompetero- González Andrea Catalina , Vergel John , Quintero-Hernández Gustavo Adolfo 
Published: October 2023

Introducción: El ambiente educativo en medicina es importante porque permite comprender cómo ocurre el currículo en su contexto y cómo es entendido por los estudiantes. Sin embargo, se le ha dado poca atención a la relación entre el ambiente educativo de los currículos integradores y el éxito académico de los estudiantes de medicina.
Objetivo: Determinar si la percepción estudiantil del ambiente educativo de un currículo médico integrador está asociada con su éxito académico.
Método: Estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, transversal y correlacional. Se analizaron variables de percepción estudiantil del ambiente educativo, usando el cuestionario validado DREEM durante el primer semestre de 2019. También se recolectaron datos del simulacro USMLE Step 1 y las calificaciones de los estudiantes en los cursos de los tres primeros años de carrera para medir su éxito académico.
Resultados: 39 estudiantes participaron en el estudio. El puntaje promedio del DREEM fue 148/200, es decir, percibieron un ambiente con más elementos positivos que negativos. En el USMLE Step 1 se obtuvo un promedio de 30.92% y las notas del promedio académico fueron de 4.29/5.0 para el acumulado en tres años y 4.5/5.0 para el sexto semestre. No se encontró correlación entre el resultado total del DREEM y el puntaje en el simulacro del USMLE Step 1, ni con las calificaciones de los estudiantes.
Conclusiones: Los hallazgos sugieren que las percepciones de los estudiantes sobre un buen ambiente educativo, reflejadas en el DREEM, no se correlacionan con su éxito académico. Conviene determinar si los esfuerzos que se realicen para cualificar el ambiente educativo, en relación con un currículo como el nuestro, redundarán en un mayor éxito académico de los estudiantes, por lo que se sugiere realizar otros estudios a futuro.
