EFFICACY OF TWO MODES OF PROJECT-BASED TEACHING METHODS ON STUDENTS’ INTEREST IN BASIC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: IMPLICATIONS FOR SCIENCE TEACHERS, EDUCATIONAL AND BUSINESS MANAGERS
type: item
description: This study examined the efficacy of two modes of project-based teaching methods (grouped and individualized) on students’ interest in Basic Science and Technology, with gender as a moderating variable. The study was motivated by the persistent low interest and engagement of students in Basic Science, which is critical for scientific literacy and national development. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 76 secondary school students (34 males and 42 females) from selected schools. The Basic Science Interest Scale (BSIS) was used to collect pre-test and post-test data. Reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach Alpha, which gave reliability coefficient of 0.84. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used to analyze the data. Findings revealed that students taught using the Group Project-Based Teaching Method recorded significantly higher interest scores than those taught using the Individualized Project-Based Teaching Method; there was no significant difference in the mean interest scores of male and female students in Basic Science, although male students recorded slightly higher interest ratings than their female counterparts; the interaction effect of gender and teaching methods on students’ interest in Basic Science was not significant. It recommends that science teachers adopt these methods, while educational and business managers provide resources and support to facilitate their implementation.

Fiscal Imbalances and Debt Sustainability in India: The Role of Growth, Unemployment, and Interest Burden
type: item
description: The dynamics in the post-reform period of the Indian public debt are not only characterised by the presence of fiscal imbalances but also by the interplay between deficit financing, employment pressures, growth performance and increasing interest commitments. Although traditional methods of debt sustainability tend to use the traditional focus on fiscal discipline, the experience in India has indicated that structural labor market factors

AZITHROMYCIN AND CO-AMOXICLAV AT DIFFERENT DOSAGES HAVE BEEN PROMOTED FOR TREATING CHILDREN WITH LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS
type: item
description: The effectiveness of azithromycin in treating acute lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) was evaluated through a comparison study with co-amoxiclav. Depending on their weight, the children received either azithromycin (10 mg/kg/day) or co-amoxiclav (45/11.25 mg/kg/day). Co-amoxiclav treatment cured 87 percent, whereas azithromycin treatment cured 91 percent. In view of P=0.55, we conclude that there are no statistically significant differences between the two groups. The drug, however, caused significantly fewer adverse reactions in patients, most of which occurred in the gastrointestinal system. Patients who received azithromycin and co-amoxiclav between 25 and 30 days after treatment showed improvement by their third visit. The benefits of azithromycin are greater for children with LRTI than those of coamoxiclav because it is safe, effective, and convenient.

ZONISAMIDE: EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY IN CHILDREN WITH EPILEPSY: A POSTMARKETING STUDY IN INTELLECTUALLY NORMAL AND DISABLED CHILDREN
type: item
description: An analysis was done to determine zonisamide's long-term efficacy and safety in the treatment of childhood epilepsy, comparing its outcomes for intellectually normal and intellectually disabled children. Among the 349 subjects, all were younger than 15 years of age; they were divided into two groups based on their intellectual abilities: the intellectually normal group (n=184) and the intellectually disabled group (n=165). It was found that 62 percent of subjects improved on seizure control over the previous month, with 78 percent of subjects responding better than 45 percent of subjects with intellectual disabilities. There is some evidence that zonisamide is not only effective in partial and generalized seizures, but it is also superior in this case when applied to people who are intellectually normal. There were 24 percent of patients who reported having adverse effects that were more severe when monotherapy was used compared to combination therapy. It is clear that zonisamide may be useful in treating partial and generalized seizures in children, but adverse events should be monitored, especially when used in combination with other medications.

TOPIRAMATE FOR REFRACTORY EPILEPSY IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS: A MULTI-CENTER TRIAL ON CLINICAL OUTCOMES AND SIDE EFFECTS
type: item
description: This paper compared the efficacy and safety of topiramate in young children and infants with refractory epilepsy. A total of 24 children, aged 6 to 60 months, diagnosed with refractory epilepsy were included in the study. Three tertiary hospitals were used to recruit these children and the study protocol was accepted by the ethical committees of all the participating institutions. The first endpoint was the change of seizure frequency, with therapeutic responses categorized as satisfactory (seizure-free or >50% reduction) or unsatisfactory (≤50% reduction or worsening). The study also monitored side effects, including cognitive and physical symptoms, as well as changes in concomitant antiepileptic drug levels, liver function, and overall health. The results showed that 50% of the participants had a satisfactory response, with 21% achieving complete seizure freedom. The highest efficacy was observed in children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, followed by those with cryptogenic epilepsy. Common side effects included somnolence, poor appetite, irritability, and fatigue, all of which were generally mild and transient. Severe side effects, such as worsened seizures and hypothyroidism, were rare. Despite some limitations, including the absence of blood level monitoring for topiramate and a short follow-up period, the study supports topiramate as a viable treatment for refractory epilepsy in pediatric patients, particularly in cases where other AEDs have failed.

Building Climate Capability: Green HRM and Emissions-Linked Rewards in Bangladesh
type: item
description: Corporations are increasingly adopting climate objectives; yet, many find it challenging to integrate these goals into daily operations and achieve quantifiable carbon reductions. This paper hypothesizes and examines how Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) and emissions-linked incentives (ELR) together develop climate capabilities, which are characterized as the routines, skills, and governance practices that facilitate Scope 1–3 abatement. Utilizing strategic human capital and dynamic capabilities, we assert that (i) GHRM directly improves employees’ climate knowledge, motivation, and opportunities for action; (ii) ELR reinforces the instrumental pathway by linking rewards to validated emissions performance; and (iii) climate capabilities mediate the effects on pro-environmental behavior (PEB) and emissions performance. We estimate a structural equation model using a multi-firm, multi-respondent survey including managers and staff, alongside organization-level emissions KPIs. Results demonstrate that GHRM (β≈0.41, p<.001) and ELR (β≈0.27, p<.01) are both predictors of climate capacities, exhibiting a positive interaction (β≈0.12, p<.05). Capabilities subsequently predicted PEB (β≈0.48, p<.001) and enhancements in emissions intensity (β≈0.22, p<.05). We examine the consequences of implementation: integrate climate responsibilities into roles, certify training, accurately assess abatement, and incentivize teams based on confirmed reductions.

THE ORAL DEXAMETHASONE EFFECTIVENESS IN REDUCING GASTROINTESTINAL AND NEUROLOGICAL SIDE EFFECTS OF METRIZAMIDE LUMBAR MYELOGRAPHY: A DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED STUDY
type: item
description: Background: One of the most popular contrast agents is metrizamide which is also nonionic and the reason behind its high application in lumbar myelography is because of its high diagnostic quality as compared to the older contrast agents such as Pantopaque. But it has a range of side effects, especially gastrointestinal in nature, nausea, vomiting, headaches and others. Previous research has indicated that these side effects can be decreased by steroid treatments. The study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of oral dexamethasone in the management of gastrointestinal and other adverse effects that are prevalent with metrizamide lumbar myelography. Methods: It was a double-blinded placebo-controlled study together with 145 adult patients with either chronic low back and/or leg pain and underwent lumbar metrizamide myelography. At intervals, the participants were randomly grouped into dexamethasone (4 mg) and placebo before and after the procedure. The severity of the symptoms was evaluated by the use of a 24-item symptom checklist prior to the procedure and 24 hours post-procedure. Chi-square tests, correlation coefficients, and post hoc tests were the methods used to analyze the data to determine the relationship between treatment and changes in the symptoms. Results: The findings demonstrated that there was a statistically significant decrease in vomiting symptoms in the dexamethasone group whereby 10.5% patients in the placebo group reported increased vomiting symptoms as compared to 0 in the dexamethasone group ( 2 -test = 4.48, p = 0.034). The difference in other symptoms like headache and nausea was not statistically significant although there was a reduction. Pain in the legs and weakness in legs or feet were also significantly improved in the dexamethasone group, also not significantly. The results of the analysis also indicated a positive relationship between nausea and the scores on MMPI hysteria in the group of dexamethasone. Conclusion: In patie…

EFFECTS OF ALENDRONATE, HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY AND COMBINATION TREATMENT ON HIP STRUCTURAL GEOMETRY IN OLDER WOMEN: A HIP STRUCTURE ANALYSIS- BASED RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
type: item
description: Background: The antiresorptive therapy can only partially explain the reduction in the fracture risk by augmenting the bone mineral density (BMD). Structural geometry is also an important factor in bone strength and it cannot be sufficiently measured alone with BMD. Purpose: To assess the impact of alendronate (ALN), hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and a combination of the two on the hip structural geometry through hip structure analysis (HSA). Methods: HSA was reanalyzed (in 76 older women) with the use of the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan in a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial followed up over a 3 year period. The HSA measurements of the cross-sectional area, cortical thickness, section modulus, and BMD of the femur neck were evaluated. Findings: There were no differences in baseline characteristics. The active treatments yielded great improvements on majority of the structural indices as compared to placebo. Combination therapy showed the highest increases of cross-sectional area, cortical thickness, section modulus and BMD by HSA, intermediary effects of ALN and minor yet significant effects by HRT. Conclusion: Antiresorptive therapy, and specifically a combination therapy, has a significant improvement in the geometry of the hip structure indicating an improvement in mechanical strength going beyond simple alteration in the BMD.

COMPARATIVE LONG-TERM SAFETY AND TOLERABILITY OF COMBINATION CALCIPOTRIOL/BETAMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE THERAPY IN SCALP PSORIASIS
type: item
description: Psoriasis of the scalp is widespread, hard to treat, and commonly has poor adherence due to difficulty with topical application and impact of cosmetic acceptability on continued usage. A two-compound scalp formulation containing calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate was also designed at a fixed dose to enhance the convenience and tolerability in addition to long-term safety. Methods: This was a long-term randomized comparative safety study, in which 900 adults with a minimum scalp psoriasis of moderate level were randomly assigned to two scalp formulation groups consisting of two compounds and calcipotriol monotherapy (nor 450). Routine clinical practice was followed with regard to the use of treatments once per day, as necessary, and with a 12-month follow-up. The variables of safety were withdrawals, adverse events, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and events that were potentially linked to long-term exposure to corticosteroids on the scalp. Findings Baseline characteristics did not differ between groups. The percentage of patients who withdrew was less with the two compound formulation compared to calcipotriol (21.3% vs 39.8%) and less patients would have not been withdrawn because of the unacceptable adverse events and inadequate efficacy. The incidence of ADRs in both the two-compound formulation and calcipotriol were lower (17.1% vs 29.6%), as well as pruritus and skin irritation. Such a positive tolerability profile was sustained in exposure (0 to 6 months and 0 to 12 months) in patients who had prolonged exposure to treatment. Judged events which could have been associated with long-term corticosteroid use were rare and had a similar frequency in the groups. Conclusion: Long-term as-needed and once-daily use of the two-compound calcipotriol/betamethasone scalp formulation had a good safety and tolerability profile, decreased withdrawal rates and reduced ADRs than calcipotriol monotherapy without any observed increment in corticosteroid-associated scalp ad…

IMPACT OF MAGNESIUM SUPPLEMENTATION ON BONE MASS ACCRUAL IN ADOLESCENTS WITH SUBOPTIMAL MAGNESIUM INTAKE: A PILOT STUDY
type: item
description: Pilot in the study was an attempt to test the influence of magnesium (Mg) supplement on the accrual of bone mass in poor dieting adolescents on magnesium. The researchers selected premenarchal girls of ages 8-14 years old and assigned them to magnesium oxide (300mg/day) or placebo in a span of one year. Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to measure the bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) at baseline, after 6 months, and after 12 months. The increase in total hip BMC was also significantly greater in the Mg-treated group than a placebo group especially in the neck of the femur, total hip and Ward area. Whereas, the effect on the spinal BMC and BMD was comparatively small, the effect was positive in support of Mg group. Mg supplement was also safe and well tolerated and linked with a reasonable compliance. This paper has confirmed the possibilities of Mg supplement on bone health in early teens, and more studies are required on bigger populations.

EFFECTIVENESS OF RIMACTAZID FOR ERADICATION OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI IN RESISTANT CASES: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED CLINICAL STUDY
type: item
description: Background: The global rise in antibiotic resistance to Helicobacter pylori has markedly reduced the efficacy of standard eradication regimens. Rifamycin-based treatments constitute optimistic recovery options owing to their low propensity for resistance. Rimactazid (a fixed-dose combination of rifampicin and isoniazid) is broadly accessible and exhibits strong intracellular antibacterial efficacy; however, its clinical application in H. pylori eradication has not been sufficiently studied. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of a Rimactazid-based triple therapy for eradication of H. pylori infection in cases with documented resistance or at least two previous eradication regimens failure. Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled trial, individuals with refractory H. pylori infection were allocated to receive either Rimactazid-based triple therapy or a rifabutin-based rescue regimen. Eradication was evaluated by the 13C-urea breath test 8 weeks following therapy. Intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses were used. Results: Two hundred and twelve cases were randomized (106 per group). Eradication rates were significantly elevated in the Rimactazid group (ITT: 82.1%; PP: 86.7%) compared with the control group (ITT: 68.9%; PP: 73.5%). Adverse events were mild and comparable among groups. Conclusions: Rimactazid-based triple treatment is a highly effective and well-tolerated rescue regimen for resistant H. pylori infections eradication.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography for Detecting Ischemic Heart Disease in Adults Aged Over 40 Years with Cardiovascular Risk Factors
type: item
description: Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains the main reason for cardiovascular mortality worldwide, accounting for approximately 16% of global mortality. In participants over 40 years of age, the incidence of cardiovascular risk factors significantly elevated the likelihood of coronary artery disease (CAD). The objective was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of CCTA for detecting ischemia-relevant CAD in adults aged >40 years with one or more cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: This prospective single-center study was done on 150 cases aged >40 years presenting with suspected stable IHD and at least one cardiovascular risk factor. All patients underwent CCTA followed by ICA ± invasive FFR (≤0.80). Results: Ischemia-relevant CAD was confirmed in 62 patients (41.3%). CCTA established a sensitivity of 96.8%, specificity of 80.5%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 77.2%, negative predictive value (NPV) of 97.7%, and overall diagnostic accuracy of 88.7%. Conclusions: CCTA provides excellent diagnostic performance with very high negative predictive value, supporting its role as the gold-standard non-invasive diagnostic test for IHD in adults over 40 years with cardiovascular risk factors.

Prevalence of Methicillin and Vancomycin Resistance Genes in Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Clinical Specimens in Al-Samawah City
type: item
description: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA), is one of the most common nosocomial infections in humans and animals. The genes mecA and vanA in the S. aureus are the marker of MRSA and VRSA, respectively. The main objective of this study was to detect the prevalence of mecA and vanA genes which cause resistance against methicillin and vancomycin in the Al- Samawah, respectively. One hundred samples (8 burns, 68wounds, 11 skin sores and 13 urines) were collected from patients in Al-Hussein teaching hospital and medical clinics, Al-Muthanna. Then biochemical tests were performed for conventional identification. Modified Kirbry-Bauer disc diffusion method was applied. The DNA of all isolates was extracted, then PCR was thenperformed for amplification of mecA, VanA genes .The results confirmed the existence of S.aureus in 41 out of 100 isolates. The S. aureus isolates showed high incidences of resistance against methicillin and vancomycin about 70% and 80%, respectively. Isolates were also resistant to other antibiotics, such as CX (60%), however the isolates showed more sensitive to following antibiotics including G (40%), CIP (50%), AZM (30%) and T (30%). PCR results revealed that 41 (41.00%) isolates of S. aureus. In addition, 25 (60.97%) and 19 (46.3%) isolates of S. aureus were harbored mecA and VanA, respectively. In conclusions, S. aureus is a commensal gram- positive bacterium that has captured the attention of the medical community for more than a century. The emergence of MRSA and VRSA strains in the community has increased the risk of infections caused by these strains, as they usually express multidrug resistance. There is a need for continuous surveillance and monitoring of the presence of MRSA and VRSA strains in the community and a clear understanding of the dynamics of the spread of MRSA and VRSA strains will assist in controlling its dissemination
