Bladder cancer screening: The new selection and prediction model
Authors: Radosavljevic Vladan , Milic Natasa 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The objective of this study was to offer new approach for selection of persons with asymptomatic bladder cancer (BC) and highly risky persons for the BC occurrence. Also, it is a part of the BC screening protocol (study is ongoing). Study populations were 100 newly diagnosed (diagnosis maximum 1-year old) males with BC and 100 matched (by sex and age ±5 years) controls (not oncology patients from the same hospital). A hospital based, matched case–control study was done. Statistical analysis comprised of four steps: t-test, univariate logistic regression, multivariate logistic regression, and scoring. The fifth step comprised of two changes, deleting one variable and addition of another variable. Six variables were statistically significant: Caucasian men over 45 years age, tobacco smoking over 40 pack-years, occupational and/or environmental exposure to the proved BC carcinogens over 20 years, macrohematuria, difficulty urinating, BC in relatives up to fourth degree of kinships, and they were used for an easy and fast selection of the individuals with high risk for BC occurrence and BC asymptomatic patients (optimal selection at the population level). The final results showed highly significant probability (p < 0.001), with area under ROC curve of 0.913, negative predictive values of 89.7% (95% CI 10.3–100%), and a specificity of 78%. Positive predictive value was 80.5% (95% CI 19.5–100%) and a sensitivity of 91%. It is possible to recruit asymptomatic BC patients (primary prevention) by using this model, as well as persons with high risk for BC occurrence (primordial prevention). This study is the first part of the BC screening protocol and the second part of the BC screening protocol study is ongoing (urine analysis).
Interstellar radiation as a Maxwell field: Improved numerical scheme and application to the spectral energy density
Authors: Arminjon Mayeul 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The existing models of the interstellar radiation field (ISRF) do not produce a Maxwell field. Here, the recent model of the ISRF as a Maxwell field is improved by considering separately the different frequencies at the stage of the fitting. Using this improved procedure: (i) It is checked in detail that the model does predict extremely high values of the spectral energy density (SED) on the axis of a galaxy, which however decreases very rapidly when

ρ

, the distance to the axis, is increased from zero. (ii) The difference between the SED values (with

ρ

), as predicted either by this model or by a recent radiation transfer model, is reduced significantly. (iii) The slower decrease of the SED with increasing altitude

Funktionskreis, Gestaltkreis, and Situationskreis in the context of integrated medicine
Authors: Augustyn Prisca 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This paper explains Viktor von Weizsäcker’s Gestaltkreis model as a reinterpretation of Jakob von Uexküll’s Funktionskreis. Also derived from the Funktionskreis is Thure von Uexküll’s Situationskreis model. Both Weizsäcker’s Gestaltkreis and Thure von Uexküll’s Situationskreis have evolved in the context of integrated medicine in Germany throughout the twentieth century. Focusing on the role of language in health and medicine, this paper addresses important concepts associated with the project of integrated medicine in Germany, especially the biographical approach practiced by Viktor von Weizsäcker and developed by Thure von Uexküll through the concept of the biographical organ. While their efforts to reform the practice of medicine and the training of physicians were unsuccessful, recent research in the psychology of language and health and recommendations for more patient-centered communication resonate with the principles underlying Viktor von Weizsäcker’s and Thure von Uexküll’s integrated medicine.
Comparing the performances of different sulfonating agents in sulfonation of methyl esters synthesized from used cooking oil
Authors: Yusuff Adeyinka S. , Bode-Olajide Favour B. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Methyl ester sulfonate (MES) is considered as an efficient and novel surfactant used as main active ingredient in cleansing products. MES is often produced via sulfonation of methyl ester (ME) with sulfonating agent. In this study, ME was synthesized from used cooking oil (UCO) via transesterification and then sulfonated to produce MES using two different sulfonating agents (chlorosulfonic acid (CSA) and sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3)). The influence of various factors (temperature, sulfonating agent/ME molar ratio and time) on MES yield was investigated. Analysis of optimal MES samples was carried out using different techniques (GC-FID, FTIR and 1H NMR). The maximum MES yield of 88.2 % was achieved with CSA/ME molar ratio of 1.2:1 at 70 °C for 3 h while the highest MES yield of 79.4 % was obtained with NaHSO3/ME molar ratio of 1.2:1 at 90 °C for 3 h. FTIR and 1H NMR analyses revealed the presence of methyl (CH2− asymmetric and CH2− symmetric stretching vibrations), esters (C=O, C–O, and O–CH3), and sulfonate (S=O) groups in MESCSA and MESNaHSO3 samples, thereby affirming the desired product. Surface tension analysis showed that the MESCSA and MESNaHSO3 have low critical micelle concentrations of 0.079 g/L and 0.14 g/L, respectively while the corresponding surface tensions were 51.9 mN/m and 30.94 mN/m for MESCSA and MESNaHSO3 respectively.

AbstractThe ongoing degradation of natural systems and other environmental changes has put our society at a crossroad with respect to our future relationship with our planet. While the concept of One Health describes how human health is inextricably linked with environmental health, many of these complex interdependencies are still not well‐understood. Here, we describe how the advent of real‐time genomic analyses can benefit One Health and how it can enable timely, in‐depth ecosystem health assessments. We introduce nanopore sequencing as the only disruptive technology that currently allows for real‐time genomic analyses and that is already being used worldwide to improve the accessibility and versatility of genomic sequencing. We showcase real‐time genomic studies on zoonotic disease, food security, environmental microbiome, emerging pathogens, and their antimicrobial resistances, and on environmental health itself – from genomic resource creation for wildlife conservation to the monitoring of biodiversity, invasive species, and wildlife trafficking. We stress why equitable access to real‐time genomics in the context of One Health will be paramount and discuss related practical, legal, and ethical limitations.

The Acquisition of Arabic Grammar as a Second Language among Arabic Learners at King Saud University
Authors: Azzam Abdullah Fahri Azzam 
Published: June 2023

This study dealt with the acquisition of Arabic grammar by several learners of Arabic as a second language at the Institute of Arabic Linguistics at King Saud University in Riyadh, where the students faced some difficulties in applying Arabic grammar. This study focused on five topics of Arabic grammar, including definitive and In-definitive words, Singular, Duality and Plural. By conducting a measurement test on 24 students at the Institute of Arabic Linguistics from 3 different levels, from which the researcher aims to know their cognitive growth in that grammar and know the factors affecting these grammatical chapters and suggest some appropriate solutions related to these grammatical chapters. After conducting a test and correcting the students' answers, it was found that distance learning did not hurt the acquisition of these grammatical chapters. It was also found that the presence of the dual form in the student's mother language does not necessarily mean the acquisition of these grammatical chapters faster. It was also found that the students' linguistic adequacy in these grammatical chapters is gradually growing.

Relationship between systemic inflammatory response and hypercoagulation in patients with immuno-inflammatory rheumatic diseases
Authors: Zhuravleva Yu. A. , Gusev E. Yu. 
Published: June 2023

The relationship between the processes of coagulation and inflammation protects the organism from potentially dangerous biological agents. However, hyperinflammation leads to an increase in the procoagulation potential, and activation of hemostasis factors maintains the inflammatory process. This phenomenon is called “immunothrombosis” or “ thromboinflammation”. The study of thromboinflammatory mechanisms is an actual problem of modern medicine, because in the future it will help to improve the therapy of diseases, in the pathogenesis of which thromboinflammation plays a significant role. The aim: to carry out a comparative analysis of the severity of the systemic inflammatory response in patients with immuno- inflammatory rheumatic diseases depending on the manifestations of hypercoagulation.To achieve the aim, a comparative analysis of proinflammatory markers (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNFα, sIL-2R, CRP, ECP, β2-microglobulin) in the blood of patients with immune-inflammatory rheumatic diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, reactive arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatic heart disease) was performed. Based on these inflammatory markers according to the authors' original methodology, the integral index of systemic inflammatory response (SIR) — Reactivity Level (RL) — was calculated. The cohort was divided into 2 groups: with the presence of signs of hypercoagulation and without signs of hypercoagulation according to the presence of elevated D-dimer level (> 500 ng/mL). Control group — healthy blood donors.The results of the study showed that SIR develops in patients with immuno-inflammatory rheumatic diseases regardless of the blood hemostatic potential. Patients with signs of hypercoagulation were characterized by higher values of most proinflammatory molecular markers, as well as increased integral level of SIR, which indicates a strong relationship between coagulation processes and inflammation at the systemic level. In addition, the probability of hypercoagulation increases with increasing severity of SIR (assessed by means of the integral index — RL). Thus, there is a transition of quantitatively more pronounced signs to a new qualitative level of pathological process development.The pathogenesis of immuno-inflammatory rheumatic diseases is characterized by the development of SIR (hypercytokinemia, acute phase response, intravascular leukocyte activation), the severity of which is closely related to intravascular microthrombosis.

Published: June 2023

Indonesia as a Muslim-majority country has a need for financial institutions based on sharia principles that can facilitate transaction activities and can create legal development. Islamic banking as part of the national banking system has an important role in Indonesia's economic development. The enactment of Law No. 21 of 2008 concerning Islamic Banking has provided extensive opportunities in the development of banking networks to implement the Islamic banking system. Islamic banking has many financing models, in these types of financing there are two types of financing that broadly have the same characteristics, namely buying and selling contracts with an order system, these financings are istishna' and as-salam contracts. The two contracts besides having similarities, of course, have differences, this needs to be understood because these differences are the advantages in a financing. This study aims to analyze the comparison between istishna' and as-salam contracts in the Islamic banking system. This research uses doctrinal legal research methods with a comparative approach carried out by reviewing existing legal materials. The results showed that in practice, Istishna' was used in financing construction and manufacturing fields. Meanwhile, As-salam is usually used to finance agriculture and industrial goods.
Keywords: As-salam; Comparison; Istishna'.
