Authors: Mobisson Samuel Kelechi , Odey Agnes Igimi , Ukpai Enene Esu 
Published: January 2025

Background:Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide and cadmium as one of the environmental toxicants contributes adversely to cardiac damage. Hence, this study investigated the cardioprotective potential of Cucumis sativus on cadmium-induced toxicity in male Wistar rats.
Method: Porcine Sixteen rats weighing between 100 and 180g were grouped with four (A to D) four rats each. Group A was control, Group B-D received 1.5mg/kg bw of cadmium, cadmium + 1mg/kg bw of C. sativus, cadmium +2mg/kg bw of C. sativus respectively. Administration was done orally using gavage for 14 days. IBM SPSS statistical software version 28, was used to analyze the data (P-value=<0.05).
Results: Lactate dehydrogenase significantly (p<0.01) increased in cadmium untreated compared to control and decreased in C.sativus treated groups compared to cadmium untreated. Troponin T in cadmium untreated and C.sativus (1mg/kg) significantly (p<0.001) increased than control. Calcium and Potassium ions in cadmium untreated and C.sativus (1mg/kg) significantly (p<0.001) increased compared to control and decreased in C.sativus treated groups compared to control and cadmium untreated group. Cardiac-reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase in all treated groups significantly (p<0.001) decreased compared to control. Although, there was a significant increase in C.sativus treated groups compared to cadmium untreated. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) in cadmium untreated and C. sativus (1mg/kg) significantly (p<0.001) decreased compared to control. However, the C. sativus (2mg/kg) group significantly (p<0.001) increased compared to cadmium untreated and C. sativus (1mg/kg) treated group. Malondialdehyde (MDA) in all treated groups significantly increased compared to the control.
Conclusion: It Treatment with C. sativus ameliorated the cardiac toxicity induced by cadmium. Hence, if these results apply to humans, using C. sativus for managing cardiac diseases and oxidative stress should be encouraged as it may possess cardioprotective properties.

Authors: Muhammad Suhaizan Sulong , Abdullah Noraswaliza , Emran Nurul Akmar , Azlianor bdul-Aziz 
Published: January 2025

In the real world, service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a part-technology and part-business venture. Both parts play an important role in making SOA initiatives a reality for organisations to become SOA-enabled. The incorporation of technology and business is to respond to the needs of agile organisations and increase technological advancement. Organisations implementing SOA initiatives are able to architect business processes, functions and structures with recent technology enhancement specifically in services and composite applications. A comprehensive literature review on the SOA initiative has evolved significantly over recent decades, highlighting that while SOA effectively transforms organisational operations by aligning technology and business, there are documented failures in the implementation of SOA initiatives. The focus on this issue needs to be addressed despite a few studies found in the literature, both in the academic and business areas, covering the SOA initiative. The failure of SOA initiatives is attributed to the use of low-quality information (IQ) and the lack of verification through appropriate IQ management systems. These findings culminated in the formulation of a conceptual framework that combines SOA initiative with IQ management, shedding light on experiences among SOA team members. It shows a clear necessity to establish further work on case studies as well as in the comparative analysis to comprehend the implications of the results obtained. In this context, it is crucial that SOA initiatives with managing IQ will enhance organisational performance throughout the entire implementation of the SOA initiative.

Статья посвящена исследованию и анализу языковых особенностей рекламных текстов. Корейский язык набирает популярность в профессиональной сфере за счет развития корейского рынка на мировой арене. В то же время реклама играет наиважнейшую роль в современном коммуникативном пространстве, так как касается всех сфер жизни. В текстовой рекламе языковые особенности являются словесным способом влияния на реципиента. Цель данной работы — проанализировать, какие языковые инструменты используют для этого авторы рекламных текстов на корейском языке. Согласно исследованию, в корейской рекламе используются фонетические, морфологические, лексические, синтаксические языковые средства. Часто они выражаются в стилистических приемах и тропах. Будучи экспрессивными и эмоциональными, языковые средства играют роль крючка, позволяющего захватить внимание читателя, подогреть его интерес, а затем довести до завершающего этапа — приобретения покупки или услуги.
