Authors: Hamijaya Gunawan , Ida Ida 
Published: January 2024

Generation Z is considered a pivotal factor in determining the success of a nation. Progress in education is crucial for the economic advancement of a country. Understanding investment principles can contribute to a nation's development, as managed funds through corporate investments can be utilized for business expansion, ultimately creating job opportunities for the community. Generation Z must comprehend the influential factors affecting investment intentions. This research aims to gather information on the factors influencing investment intentions among generation Z. Surveys were distributed to 295 students at Maranatha Christian University, and the collected data were analyzed using SmartPLS 4. The findings revealed that financial literacy significantly influences investment intentions positively. However, risk perception and perceived behavior control do not significantly impact investment intentions. In conclusion, this study suggests that Generation Z requires in-depth financial literacy to achieve short-term and long-term financial goals.

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have unique properties as antibacterial effects against locally isolated clinical Escherichia coli. In this study, the evaluated the antibacterial activity of AgNPs, which were synthesized by laser ablation, against locally isolated clinical Escherichia coli on nutrient agar media in vitro. Then assessed the toxicity of the bactericidal dose in albino rats in vivo with hematological, liver, and kidney functions as vital parameters. AgNPs were synthesized by pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL). AgNPs’ shape and nano size were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), UV-vis spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). UV peak absorption was observed at 434 nm, which produced an average particle diameter of 28.09 nm. The SEM and AFM topography images of the synthesized nanoparticles showed that they had a spherical shape. Also studied was the toxicity of the synthesized AgNPs in vivo. Four groups of albino rats were used. The liver and kidneys were found to be the main organs that accumulate AgNP. In this study, we examined the influence of intraperitoneally injected AgNPs on blood parameters (complete blood picture) and liver and kidney functions of albino rats. Blood ALP and serum test (GOT and GPT), serum urea and serum creatinine were analyzed at 15, 30, and 60 days after injection of 200 mg/kg of PLAL-synthesized AgNP. The results did not indicate statistically significant differences between the control and treatment groups in blood picture and enzyme levels tested that indicate proper liver function. Additionally, no differences in kidney functions were found during varying time intervals in the blood of rats. Thus, PLAL-synthesized AgNPs could inhibit Escherichia coli bacterial growth.

Published: January 2024

Creatinine and Schiff`s bases are well known for their diverse range of biological activities and are thought to be emerging and useful therapeutic targets for the treatment of several diseases. The present work was aimed at the synthesis of new imidazolidine-4-one, thiazolidine-4-one, and oxazolidine-4-one derivatives derived from creatinine and to illustrate their influence on a colon cancer cell line and assess their antioxidant activity. Creatinine was reacted with α-chloroethyl acetate to produce 2-ethyl acetate creatinine 1. Then, the reaction of compound 1 with n-propyl bromide afforded N-propyl-2-ethylacetate creatinine 2. Compound 2 was then reacted with hydrazine hydrate to give hydrazide derivative 3. Schiff bases 4-6 were synthesized via the reaction of compound 3 with aromatic aldehydes (benzaldehyde and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde) and a ketone (p-amino acetophenone) in the presence of glacial acetic acid as a catalyst. Finally, Schiff bases 4-6 were treated with 2-aminoacetic acid to synthesize imidazolidine-4-one derivatives 7-9, with 2-thioglycolic acid to prepare thiazolidine-4-one derivatives 10-12, and with glycolic acid to synthesize oxazolidine-4-one derivatives 13-15. The newly synthesized compounds were identified using FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the antioxidant and anticancer activities of some of the synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro and showed good results.
Land Surface Temperature investigation of Babylon city between (2002-2022) using Remote Sensing and GIS Technique
Authors: Al-Aarajy Khalid H. Abbas , Hassan Zainab H. Mohammed 
Published: January 2024

Land surface temperature (LST) is crucial for determining the region's environmental quality because a significant temperature rise causes disasters, which cause environmental imbalance, reducing biodiversity and hastening desertification. In this study, remote sensing and geographic information systems were used to estimate the change in the LST of Babylon, Iraq, using two satellite images taken 20 years apart (2002, 2022). The temperature was extracted using a specific mathematical model in ArcMap10.8 software. The findings demonstrated a significant variation in temperatures and the concentration in various regions of Babylon between 2002 and 2022 and the relationship between LST and Normalized difference vegetation index. The most significant element that causes a shift in the LST is the spread of urbanization in Babylon at the expense of vegetation and unused land.
Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Women with Urinary Tract Infections in Mosul City
Authors: Younus Nada Khairi 
Published: January 2024

This study was established to discover and determine multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae from women suffering urinary tract infections, specifically in Mosul city. A total of 62 E. coli and 32 K. pneumoniae bacterial isolates were considered for this study. All isolates were characterized using standard bacterial culture methods, including culture on MacConkey agar, Eosin Methylene Blue agar and biochemical tests. Also antibiotic sensitivity test using standard disc method for different antibiotics and also special discs to detect ESBL activity were carried out, in addition to PCR as molecular identification tool. The results showed that most isolated E. coli and K. pneumoniae demonstrated MDR resistance pattern with highest resistance recorded for E. coli to tetracycline 62/62 (100%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole 60/62 (96.8%), gentamycin 51/62 (82.3%) and azithromycin 50/62 (80.7%). While K. pneumoniae recorded high resistance to nalidixic acid 32/32 (100%) and tetracycline 26/32 (81.2%). On the other hand, imipenem was the only one that showed ultimate sensitivity for all E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates. Furthermore, the current results revealed that 68/94 (72.3%) of the studied isolates have ESBL activity. The results for molecular studies confirmed that E. coli and K. pneumoniae have resistance genes with dominated CTX-M gene, followed by SHV and finally TEM gene. The study concluded that E. coli and K. pneumoniae with MDR feature are serious threat to women with UTIs and all necessary measures ought to be performed in order to reduce the antibiotic resistance.
Detecting the Variation in the lasI Gene and Their Relation with Biofilm in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates
Authors: Al-Maeni Mohammad Abdul Rahmman 
Published: January 2024

One of the most causative agents for many opportunistic diseases is the Pseudomonas aeruginosa which has a high percentage of multidrug resistance disease through construction of biofilm. The current study aimed for evaluating the correlation between quorum sensing genes (which is lasI gene) and biofilm formation. The biofilm construction and antibiotics susceptibility test were achieved for all the isolates under the study. The PCR and sequencing techniques were also carried out to detect the type of variation in lasI gene for each scheme of biofilm formation (weak, strong, and moderate). High antibiotic resistance was recorded among biofilm producing isolates. The genic pattern for the weak biofilm producer, which is isolate No 19, carries lysine instead of arginine in position 92 and aspartic acid instead of asparagine in position 115. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the horizontal genetic transfer between isolates was very high. Finally, we conclude that the lasI gene does participate in biofilm construction of P. aeruginosa.

Published: January 2024

Relevance. With the army and navy forces understaffed with physically strong and healthy young recruits, the problem is currently being considered at the state level; the lack of military reserve forces is a major problem for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.The objective is to assess the health status, lifestyles, quality of life, ethic and professional aptitudes of potential conscripts in the Orenburg region in the course of preliminary military training. Methods. Reports and accounts of enlistment commissariats across Orenburg municipalities were studied from 2012 through 2021. The study focused on the Orenburg region residents of conscription age, who underwent an anonymous social and demographic survey. Quality of life indicators were estimated by MOS SF-36, whereas dedicated personality and aptitude testing was used to assess neuropsychic stability and cognitive abilities.Results and analysis. In 2012 the Orenburg region had 21,600 residents of conscription age, with 65.1% considered healthy and apt for military service. Almost one in three conscripts was unfit for military service due to health issues. Due to demographic challenges in the region, the number of conscripts decreased year to year, resulting in a 30% drop-down by 2021 according to forecasts. This situation undermined military service conscription goals. Therefore, efforts were undertaken to mainstream healthcare and fitness initiatives among the youth, as well as actively promote healthy lifestyles and sports, which eventually allowed to attract more newly drafted conscripts. Thus, in 2021 the rate of conscripts considered healthy and apt for military service stood at was 77.7%.Conclusion. Analyses of medical, social and psychological characteristics of Russian nationals of conscription age provides evidence for appropriate decision-making to maintaining the combat abilities of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Into the looking glass on cultural and religious competent care: optimizing healthcare for Haredi individuals with mental illness
Authors: Rohr Eliana , Whitley Rob 
Published: January 2024

Previous research has shown that minority groups tend to underuse healthcare services. One community whose experiences remain particularly under-researched in the Western world is Haredi Jews- a diverse group of individuals committed to traditional Talmudic and Halakhah teachings and observances. This presentation aims to enhance participants' understanding of mental health-seeking behaviours and challenges faced by Haredi individuals. We conducted a qualitative study that involved in-depth interviews with 24 adults who identified as Haredi and used mental health services, as well as informal consultations with local rabbis and community leaders. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. Analysis revealed several important themes, including: (1) Strength of religious practices, community, and relationship with God as a factor determining mental well-being. (2) Implications of devotion to religion within the patient-physician encounter. (3) Stigma and acknowledged lack of awareness surrounding mental health in Haredi communities. These themes will be explored in the presentation, which will aim to bring light to participants’ lived experiences. We hope to address the proverbial "elephant in the room" often ignored or overlooked, as encountered by Haredi community members and their interactions with the healthcare system. We will present the unique strengths and challenges related to mental health encountered by Haredi Jews in our study, while discussing potential measures that can produce better health outcomes and culturally sensitive care for Haredi individuals.
Anatomy of the elephant in Quebec family practice
Authors: Yaffe Mark 
Published: January 2024

Background
Whole person care has been a foundation of the modern practice of family medicine, and therefore one might expect that such an approach by family practitioners would evolve and mature over time. Some of these clinicians, however, currently question their ability to provide such holistic care because of external factors they perceive as negative, and over which they have little or no control.
Objectives
This presentation will explore perceived inhibiting factors affecting family doctors ability to provide whole person care within the publicly-funded health care system of the Canadian province of Quebec.
Method
The presenter, an academic and clinician scientist with forty-four years of experience practicing family medicine, will present personal perspectives, along with those gathered informally from a broad cadre of colleagues working in different settings. Using the idiom of “elephant in the room” to identify problems or obstacles that may not be voiced, this talk will start with consideration of elephant anatomy as being comprised of thirteen distinct anatomical parts that contribute to a functional whole. An analogy will be developed in which thirteen distinct factors are presented as likely impeding or discouraging whole person care by family physicians.
Conclusion
Some agendas and policies of health care planners and administrators, either alone or collectively, and intentionally or unintentionally, may decrease opportunity or ability of family physicians to provide whole person care.
“I get to know them as a whole person”: family physician stories of proximity to patients experiencing social inequity
Authors: Molinaro Monica , Shen Katrina , Agarwal Gina , Inglis Gabrielle , Vanstone Meredith 
Published: January 2024

Canadians’ health outcomes are inextricably tied to social inequities. While family medicine is aptly situated to provide care that addresses social factors through longitudinal knowledge of patients and their contexts, family physicians have come under increased pressure to do more for their patients with less time and resources due to financial and resource demands within primary care.
Nursing scholar Ruth Malone has argued that remaining proximal, or close to patients, is a form of resistance to these demands. Using a critical narrative methodology, we conducted 36 interviews with 20 family physicians working with persons experiencing health needs related to social inequity in Ontario, Canada, whose stories expressed and expanded upon Malone’s proximity. Notions of proximity were invoked through descriptions of the role of family physicians in: i) generating physical proximity based on the patients’ needs for more time, space, and care; ii) developing narrative proximity through storytelling over time, both between colleagues and patient communities; and iii) engaging in moral proximity, or recognizing the vulnerabilities of their patients, by going “above and beyond” in their care and advocacy roles inspired by the needs of their patients.
The findings add theoretical depth to proximity, extending this conceptualization into a new clinical context. These stories also complement current health services and health policy research that advocates for collaborative primary care approaches, as elements of these approaches are conducive to establishing proximity with patients who need care the most.
Why the hermeneutic wager
Authors: Hovey Richard B. 
Published: January 2024

While progressing through my ongoing cancer treatments, in particular the reflection or re-reflections guided by Richard Kearney’s hermeneutic wager. I prefer a wager over the traditional cancer metaphors because it replaces the blatant harshness of a battle in a war. I am not saying in any way of form to be a passive observer during one’s cancer treatment journey, but to replace the winner-looser paradigm with carnage associated with war, shrapnel dismembered bodies unrecognizable to themselves and others. This does not mean that I am not standing up to and confronting cancer with vigor and intensity.
The wager offers dignity during participation where all the “cards” are delt from both the cancer and the treatments with the integrity of the whole person who is living with cancer with their healthcare team and family play together as a community to successfully support the wager’s cause. The wager is respectful and addresses the risks involved and is fully c onscientious of outcomes as an unpredictable event. This wager is comprised of five reflections and/or conversations to engage in that I have adapted to learn about living with cancer and its treatments. The hermeneutic wager has five points of reflection: imagination, humility, commitment, discernment, and hospitality. These will be used to provide examples of how to offer insight into one’s experiences. Through these kinds of reflections on cancer, uncertainty can help us develop wings for the journey into the unknown uncertainty that often a diagnosis of cancer requires.

The Potentials and Limits of Going Global
Authors: Zemmin Florian 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This article takes part in the current quest for more global histories of religion, yet also reflects on the possible limits of going global. To this end, it engages one specific perspective on religion, namely a sociological one. It probes into Arabic sociologies of religion, especially with reference to Islam. The author argues that epistemically, premises of social contingency may well complement assumptions of absolute truth. However, positions that would subject religion in general to contingency – that is, the idea that religion is constructed by humans rather than ensuing from divine revelation – are largely rejected. This partly explains the rather weak institutionalization of the sociology of religion in Arab countries, but it also recalls that such global institutionalization reflects one particular perspective on religion, which is itself underpinned by normative and epistemic assumptions of the social as absolute.
