Infusing Qur’anic moral codes into engineering studies: Selected themes

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Engineering profession, like medical and other professions, has a deep impact on the society. It must, therefore, conform to the universally accepted engineering ethical values. Although medical ethics and some other professional ethics are quite developed for obvious reasons, in some form there exists engineering ethics also. It is a different thing that the compliance of engineering ethics rests on the political will of the state. When we comedown to individual scientists and technocrats, they have to comply with the ethical values to the possible extent. They have to abstain from doing some thing which in the long run might bring pain to the society rather than giving happiness to it. Sometimes, they know that what they are doing is not good to the society, yet they do that for their personal fame. This is unethical on their part. Likewise, they have to be objective and keep themselves free front all kinds of greed and influences. For instilling these values among the future scientists, it is not necessary to have a separate co-course on engineering ethics. It is the duty of all lecturers to emphasize on them from time to time. This will have a long-lasting impact on them. A vast majority of the literature on engineering ethics are based on western ethical principles. References on Islamic moral codes and engineering professionalism in particular, are virtually not emphasized. It is, therefore, a religious duty of all Muslim lecturers, especially in the institutions of higher education like the International Islamic university, to instill the Islamic engineering ethics among their pupils, so that they do not work for sheer frame or in detriment to the society. The paper is an attempt to this aspect and attempts to bring engineering education in line with injunctions of Qur'an and Sunnah ( prophetic traditions ).
Comparative Determinations of Some Figurines from Predynastic Egypt

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract Archaeological discoveries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries have brought to researchers attention a series of sites that indicates two civilizations, apparently unconnected to the dynastic periods of ancient Egypt. The collections of anthropomorphic figurines of the Badari and Naqada cultures offer the possibility of comparative anthropometric measurements, which highlight the evolution and diffusion process, as well as of new meanings for the archetypal corporeality that made figurines possible. The presence of the same golden disproportion in representations from both cultures and the optimization of Naqada anthropometric proportions over the centuries foreshadows the aesthetic norms of the dynastic period.
Evaluation of CUSUM Charts for Finite-Horizon Processes

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract\n This paper analyses and evaluates the properties of a CUSUM chart designed for monitoring the process mean in short production runs. Several statistical measures of performance that are appropriate when the process operates for a finite-time horizon are proposed. The methodology developed in this paper can be used to evaluate the performance of the CUSUM scheme for any given set of chart parameters from both an economic and a statistical point of view, and thus, allows comparisons with various other charts.
Calibration of the Checkpoint Model to the Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) Software Database (SWDB).

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract : This study analyzed the effect of calibration on the performance of the CHECKPOINT Version 2.3.1 software cost estimating model. Data used for input into the model were drawn from the FY 95 USAF SMC Software Database (SWDB) Version 2.1. A comparison was made between the model's accuracy before and after calibration. This was done using records which were not used in calibration, referred to as validation points. A comparison of calibration points, both before and after, was done in order to assess whether calibration results in more consistency within the data set used. Six measures such as magnitude of relative error (MRE), mean magnitude of relative error (MMRE), root mean square error (RMS), relative root mean square error (RRMS), the prediction at level k/n, and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test were used to describe accuracy. The results of this effort showed that calibration of the CHECKPOINT model can improve cost estimation accuracy for development effort by as much as 96.71%.
Industrialization in Singapore - The role of the Jurong Town Corporation in planning and control.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Singapore always prides herself to be the harmonized multi-racial country. Despite the differences in cultural, racial and social backgrounds, remarkable results have been achieved. It is believed that industrialization has spearheaded the whole economic development process in Singapore. The architect behind the industrialization is the Jurong Town Corporation. Our project aims to analyze the contribution of the JTC to the Singapore economic development process, with respect to six selected aspects.
The Interaction Between Signal Regulatory Protein Alpha (SIRPα) and CD47: Structure, Function, and Therapeutic Target

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

CD47 is a broadly expressed membrane protein that interacts with the myeloid inhibitory immunoreceptor SIRPα (also termed CD172a or SHPS-1). SIRPα is the prototypic member of the SIRP paired receptor family of closely related SIRP proteins. Engagement of SIRPα by CD47 provides a downregulatory signal that inhibits host cell phagocytosis, and CD47 therefore functions as a “don't-eat-me” signal. Here, we discuss recent structural analysis of CD47-SIRPα interactions and implications of this for the function and evolution of SIRPα and paired receptors in general. Furthermore, we review the proposed roles of CD47-SIRPα interactions in phagocytosis, (auto)immunity, and host defense, as well as its potential significance as a therapeutic target in cancer and inflammation and for improving graft survival in xenotransplantation.
Therapeutic Potential of CRISPR-Cas9 and CAR-T in Oral Cancer Treatment

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Oral cancer, often caused by tobacco and alcohol use, HPV infection, or traditional practices, remains a significant health challenge. Current treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy lack specificity and often result in incomplete removal or recurrence. This study proposes two approaches: CRISPR-Cas9 to target HPV oncogenes (E6 and E7), restoring normal cell function, and CAR-T cell therapy to target proteins like EGFR for enhanced immune response. Both methods aim to improve treatment specificity and effectiveness. Proposed experiments include in vitro and in vivo models to evaluate efficacy and minimize off-target effects, offering a potential breakthrough in oral cancer therapy.
MOUTH OF THE EUSTACHIAN TUBE: Action During Swallowing and Phonation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

INFORMATION regarding the physiological movements of the eustachian tube in man and the particular muscles involved in these movements has been obtained through anatomical dissection, observations on living animals and observations on living human subjects either by means of a nasopharyngoscope or directly through large pathological defects of the face and palate. These observations have not resulted in any general agreement about the action of the muscles in this region or the sequence and time relations of the movements that take place in man. Some representative studies and conflicting ideas are described below. Cleland,1a contemporary of Toynbee, had a patient with an ulceration of the palate through which the mouth of the tube could be visualized. He taught the patient to swallow with his mouth open so that he could observe the tube at this time. He called attention to Toynbee's observations on the tube and Toynbee's conclusion

Leaving our mark – are suture marks acceptable?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

‘Cross hatching’, ‘railroad tracks’ or ‘fishbone scars’ (suture marks) can be an unfortunate consequence seen after suture placement, but are they an occasional inevitability or can they and should they be totally avoidable? Wound healing and scarring has long been a focus of both academic and clinical interest and we are now in an era where public awareness and expectations of scar cosmesis has become greater and greater.
Characteristics of a Novel ATP2B3 K416_F418delinsN Mutation in a Classical Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In patients with primary aldosteronism (PA), the prevalence of ATP2B3 mutation is rare. The aim of this study is to report a novel ATP2B3 mutation in a PA patient. Based on our tissue bank of aldosterone-producing adenomas (APA), we identified a novel somatic ATP2B3 K416_F418delinsN mutation. The affected individual was a 53 year-old man with a 4 year history of hypertension. Computed tomography (CT) showed bilateral adrenal masses of 1.6 (left) and 0.5 cm (right) in size. An adrenal venous sampling (AVS) showed a lateralization index (LI) of 2.2 and a contralateral suppression index (CLS) of 0.12; indicating left functional predominance. After a left unilateral adrenalectomy, he achieved partial biochemical and hypertension–remission. This classical adenoma harbored a novel ATP2B3 K416_F418delinsN somatic mutation, which is a deletion from nucleotides 1248 to 1253. The translated amino acid sequence from 416 to 418, reading as lysine-phenylalanine-phenylalanine, was deleted; however, an asparagine was inserted due to merging of residual nucleotide sequences. The CYP11B2 immunohistochemistry staining demonstrated strong immunoreactivity in this classical adenoma. The ATP2B3 K416_F418delinsN mutation is a functional mutation in APA, since HAC15 cells, a human adrenal cell line, transfected with the mutant gene showed increased CYP11B2 expression and aldosterone production.
Internal Friction and Dynamic Modulus of Cold-Worked Metals

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The complexities of the internal friction and dynamic modulus of metals in the cold-worked condition may be understood reasonably well by separation of the phenomena into the following three distinct effects: (1) the ``nonlinear'' effect, characterized by strong amplitude dependence, frequency independence, and its disappearance after severe deformation; (2) the Köster effect, which shows rapid recovery after deformation, at temperatures well below the recrystallization temperature; (3) the ``viscosity'' effect, characterized by strong frequency and temperature dependence. The origin of each of these effects is briefly discussed from the point of view of dislocation theory.

S1614 Lower Household Income Is Associated With Decreased Gastric Cancer Survival

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Previous studies have suggested the presence of racial disparity in gastric cancer survival. However, there is a paucity of data evaluating the presence of disparities based on household income in gastric cancer survival. This study aimed to evaluate the survival of gastric cancer by household income in the United States. Methods: This is a SEER database-based study to identify patients with gastric cancer diagnosed between 2007 and 2018 using ICD-O-3 site codes C16.0-16.9 and histology codes 8140/3, 8211/3, 8260/3, 8480/3, and 8490/3. We then divided patients into 5 groups based on household income: Group 1: < $50,000, 2: $50,000-59,999, 3: $60,000-64,999, 4: $65,000-74,999, and 5: ≥$75,000. Categorical and continuous variables were analyzed with the Chi-Square test and the Mann-Whitney U test. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve compared survival. A multivariate analysis was done with the Cox proportional hazard regression model. Results: We identified 56,313 (Group 1: 8,097, 2: 7,674: 3: 10,030, 4: 13,067, 5: 17,445) patients with a median age of 67 years. For White and Asian and Pacific Islanders (API), more patients are classified as groups 4 and 5. Hispanic patients are classified as groups 3, 4, and 5. Black patients are classified as group 1. Alaskan Natives and American Indians (AIAN) patients are classified as groups 1, 2, and 5. Group 5 was more likely to undergo surgical treatment. Overall survival was 11 (95% CI: 11-11) months. The survival of each group is group 1: 9 (95% CI: 9-10), 2: 10 (10-11), 3: 11 (11-12), 4: 11 (11-12), and 5: 13 months (13-14) (P< 0.001). This trend was observed in stratified analysis based on race and cancer stages. Notably, API showed lower survival for groups 1: 13 (9-16) and 2: 10 (8-13) compared to groups 3: 15 (14-17), 4: 17 (15-19), and 5: 17 months (16-19). Contrary, Black showed a less pronounced difference by groups as follows: group 1: 9 (8-9), 2: 9 (8-11), 3: 9 (8-9), 4: 9 (9-11), and 5: 11 months (10-13). A multivariate analysis by Cox proportional hazard showed that the hazard ratio for group 2 was 0.95 (95% CI: 0.91-0.98), 3 was 0.88 (0.85-0.91), 4 was 0.89 (0.86-0.92), and 5 was 0.83 (0.81-0.86) in comparison to group 1. Conclusion: This study showed a significant difference in survival based on household income (Figure). Black and AIAN had poorer survival regardless of household income than other races. Further studies are needed to elucidate the solutions to decrease survival differences by household income.Figure 1.: The Kaplan-Meier survival curve based on median household income groups. The survival of each group is group 1: 9 (95% CI: 9-10), 2: 10 (10-11), 3: 11 (11-12), 4: 11 (11-12), and 5: 13 months (13-14) (P<0.001).
The constitution of public sector management work

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Public sector management work contributes directly to political systems of western democracy. This contribution has far-reaching consequences for the public sector, other sectors and citizens. From the 1980s public sectors have experienced significant reforms by successive governments across Anglo-American polities. Such reforms and the contemporary management ideas on which they were based, including new managerialism and ‘new public management’ (NPM) travelled, were translated and transformed, some accepted and others rejected. These reforms have changed the public sector, but how these reforms have influenced and changed the constitution of public sector management work is less clear. This research sought to understand ‘how do current and former Departmental Secretaries in the Australian Public Service (APS) constitute public sector management work, in the context of evolving reforms?’ using a qualitative case study. What it finds is that Departmental Secretaries constitute public sector management work to suit the institutionalised, governmental, bureaucratic and political domain of the public sector, in which they work, rather than the market-oriented managerialism or new public management advocated by reformers. This research makes an original contribution to public administration theory and also to a lesser extent to new institutional theory as it pertains to the travel of ideas.
Gastric lesions in 76 patients with adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma: Endoscopic evaluation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is caused by human T-lymphotropic virus type I. Gastric lesions in ATLL have not been described precisely, whereas the clinical features of ATLL have been well documented. The goal of the present study was to review gastric lesions, including gastric involvement, of patients with ATLL who were admitted to our hospital. METHODS Endoscopic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract was performed on 76 of 110 patients who were admitted to our hospital between 1981 and 1994. Gastric involvement was diagnosed by histologic examination of biopsy specimens of gastric lesions. Types of gastric lesions, histologic features, and survival periods in patients with ATLL were summarized. RESULTS Of the 76 patients with ATLL who underwent an endoscopic examination, 23 had gastric involvement (30.3%). Twenty-seven patients had other gastric lesions: 10 with peptic ulcers (13.2%), 8 with gastric erosions (10.5%), 3 with submucosal tumors (3.9%), 2 with hyperplastic polyps (2.6%), 1 with gastric adenoma (1.3%), and 3 with gastric carcinomas (3.9%). The most frequent endoscopic configuration of gastric involvement with ATLL was the diffuse type with ulceration, and the most common histology was large cell type. Among those with the acute type ATLL, the survival period of those patients with gastric involvement was less than that of the patients without gastric involvement. In contrast, the survival period for lymphoma type ATLL did not differ among the groups regardless of gastric involvement. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that 30.3% of patients with ATLL had gastric involvement and 13.2% had peptic ulcers. Gastric involvement of ATLL was one of the prognostic factors in acute type ATLL, whereas it had no influence on the prognosis of lymphoma type ATLL. Cancer 1996;78:396-402.
More on Newborn Screening for Phenylketonuria: Recommendations of the Committee on Genetics

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In Reply.— In the 12 months subsequent to publication of the statement by the Committee on Genetics,1 there has been no adverse correspondence with the Journal or the Academy on the issues raised in the statement. Nonetheless, Schoen now raises a question of potentially broad relevance; it concerns the recommendation about repeat testing for hyperphenylalaninemia in the newborn discharged from the nursery before the third day of life. Schoen is critical of the data that the Committee used to reach its conclusions.
Effects of dietary oregano essential oil and vitamin E supplementation on meat quality, stress response and intestinal morphology in pigs following transport stress

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This study investigates the effects of dietary oregano essential oil (OEO) and vitamin E (Vit E) supplementation on meat quality, stress response and intestinal morphology in pigs following transport stress. A total of 288 finishing pigs were randomly assigned to three groups: a basal diet or a basal diet supplemented either with 200 mg/kg Vit E or 25 mg/kg OEO. After a 28-day feeding trial, total of 132 finishing pigs according diet and transport stress were assigned to one of four treatment groups: 1) control treatment without transport stress (Control group), 2) control treatment with 5-hr transport stress (Negative group), 3) Vit E treatment with 5-hr transport stress and 4) OEO treatment with 5-hr transport stress. Transport stress pigs had lower muscle 45 min pH (pHi) and higher drip loss than control pigs. Dietary OEO and Vit E supplementation significantly increased 45min pH under transport stress, and the OEO groups produced lower 24-hr drip loss values (P<0.05) than that of pigs from the negative group. The OEO-supplemented pigs showed decreased serum levels of creatine kinase (CK) and cortisol (P<0.05), and decreased Hsp 27 (heat shock protein 27) and Hsp 70 (heat shock protein 70) mRNA expression in the muscle (P<0.05). Additionally, histological analysis revealed intestinal epithelial damage in transport stress pigs that was reversed by dietary supplementation with OEO. In conclusion, supplementation with dietary OEO may be superior to supplementation with dietary Vit E in alleviating the meat quality, stress response and intestinal morphology of pigs after challenge due to transportation stress.
Suicidal Themes in Visual Art

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Suicide in art, as in life, occurs rarely but when it does the viewers react to the special poignancy of this theme. In looking at examples of visual works representing the last two thousand years, differences become apparent in the way self-termination is portrayed. While some of these changes reflect an expansion of aesthetic knowledge, other trends are connected with the history of self-injury in western civilization. Modern concepts of suicide prevention are directly illustrated by these visual themes.
Optimization of electroporation conditions for maize microspores

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Microspore culture can be used for homozygous dihaploid plant production and the uninuclear origin of microspore-derived dihaploid plant is an excellent basis for plant transformation, as a plant with integrated foreign gene in a homozygous set can be obtained in a considerably short time. An electroporation method for delivery of foreign DNA into mechanically isolated microspores of maize (Zea mays L.) was developed. Different media for electroporation and different concentrations of plasmid DNA were tested. Physical factors affecting efficiency of electroporation (number of pulses, duration of the pulse, voltage, frequency) and plasmid DNA concentration were optimised and discussed, relating to microspore viability, induction of gametic embryogenesis after electroporation, and the number of GUS expressing microspores.
