Abstract

This study focuses on establishing a green, inexpensive, non-toxic alternative for treating cancers. This aim explores the synthesis and use of silver oxide nanoparticles (Ag2O/Ag NPs) using a green synthesis technique. Considering that there is a high death rate in cancer, breast cancer in particular, which is highlighted by a breast cancer cell line MCF-7, we have decided to use nanotechnology as a therapeutic tool. Conventional ways of coping with cancer symptoms, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, even though they are the most effective, have the drawback of high costs and side effects. Instead of toxic chemicals, nanoparticles are gaining more interest due to their peculiarity of chemical and physical specifications, with Ag2O/Ag NPs pointing to a wide range of actions from anticancer effectiveness. Using the extract from the Ginkgo biloba plant, we achieved the green synthesis of Ag2O/AgNP via the new method widely adopted for environmental and health safety reasons. The nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized with SEM, HRTEM, EDX Spectroscopy, SEAD pattern, and DLS, and it was evident that the particles were spherical, homogeneously distributed in size, and compositively pure. Moreover, the Ag2O/Ag NPs were tested for their cytotoxic efficacy towards MCF-7 breast cancer cells, employing the MTT assay and the Hochst blue-fluorescent staining method, which demonstrated an effective dose-dependent toxicity that highlighted the possibility of such NPs as a candidate cancer therapeutic. Moreover, these nanoparticles were found to show antimicrobial activity, which helped to broaden their biomedical potential. The present research emphasizes the necessity of friendly-to-environment nanoparticle synthesis and provides an additional clue toward developing cancer treatments. Highlights: Develop green, cost-effective, non-toxic cancer treatment using Ag2O nanoparticles. Synthesized Ag2O/AgNPs via Ginkgo biloba extract; tested anticancer efficacy. Ag2O/AgNPs show dose-dependent cytotoxicity and antimicrobial potential. Keywords: AgO ;Ag ; Capping agent; Cancer; Ginkgo biloba

Abstract

A collection of viral disorders known as hemorrhagic fever are brought on by various virus families and impact many bodily systems and organs, harming the cardiovascular system overall. The symptoms can include circulatory instability, coagulation problems, altered mental state, and, in extreme cases, death. Desertification is the process by which land in arid, semi-arid, and dry regions deteriorates due to a lack of water sources, causing a decline in biodiversity and plant life, which in turn causes the topsoil layer to disappear and, ultimately, the land's capacity to sustain human, animal, and agricultural life. Highlights: Hemorrhagic fever: viral disorders harming organs, cardiovascular system, causing death. Symptoms: circulatory instability, coagulation issues, altered mental state, fatal outcomes. Desertification: land degradation reduces biodiversity, plant life, and agricultural capacity. Keywords: Hemorrhagic fever , Desertification, Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF)

Abstract

The article provides data on the extent to which the forecast of the state of roads in a region with a strong earthquake, the level of damage of vehicles during an earthquake depends on their physical state of absorption due to atmospheric, hydrosphere, lithospheric effects and man-made impacts and to what extent special requirements for the construction and control of transport facilities in seismic areas are met, as well. The assessment of the destruction of roads that may occur as a result of an earthquake provides for such aspects as the conclusions of the control of transport facilities carried out earlier in seismic areas, the identified causes of road damage, the effectiveness of antiseismic protection methods when carrying out new construction work and the overhaul (reconstruction) of transport infrastructure to increase seismic stability. The degree of damage to vehicles due to an earthquake is divided into five parts according to the set "rules of transport facilities in seismic areas" (d1–d5), the characteristic of damage situations in each and, accordingly, the degree of damage to structures is shown in the table. From the cited data, on the example of the Angren-Pop railway line, certain levels of damage are observed at high scores of earthquake intensity, even in seismically stable structures, and measures to eliminate damage according to construction standards are covered. Highlights: Road and vehicle damage linked to seismic and environmental factors. Assessment of antiseismic methods and transport facility standards. Angren-Pop railway damage highlights intensity and reconstruction measures. Keywords: earthquake, transport, artificial structures, road infrastructure, tectonic displacement, seismic area, seismic stability, tectonic wave, seismogravitational impact, economic damage, secondary consequence, accident-rescue

Abstract

Malaria, caused by Plasmodium vivax, remains a significant health issue in northeastern Iraq. This study collected 5 ml of blood samples from 50 malaria patients and 50 healthy controls at Jalawlaa Hospital in Diyala Province. The infection rates were 13% in the 10-24 age group, 22% in the 25-39 group, and 15% in the 40-64 group, with no significant differences in gender or residency. Patients showed elevated levels of P. vivax IgG antibodies (2.14±0.17) compared to the control group (0.09±0.02), with significant increases in IL-18 (16.97±1.04 vs. 1.73±1.73) and TNF-α (18.45±0.81 vs. 1.31±0.31) levels (P≤0.0001). A strong correlation was found between P. vivax IgG antibodies and IL-18 and TNF-α levels (r=0.666, 0.730). ROC analysis showed excellent diagnostic accuracy for P. vivax IgG antibodies, with 98% sensitivity and 100% specificity at a cutoff value of >1.02. Additionally, a mutation in the TNF gene (SNP rs12934561) was identified, with wild TT and CC variations changing to CC, TT, and TC in patients compared to controls. These findings suggest that P. vivax IgG, IL-18, and TNF-α are valuable biomarkers for malaria diagnosis and highlight genetic variations linked to immune responses. Highlights: Malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax identified in northeastern Iraq, affecting various ages. Patients showed high P. vivax IgG, IL-18, and TNF-α levels (P≤0.0001). TNF gene mutation (SNP rs12934561) found, indicating genetic variation in immune response. Keywords: IL-18, TNF-α, Plasmodium vivax, Malaria, Diyala Province/Iraq.

Abstract

Since the gain of independence in 1991, Uzbekistan has worked through diverse economic transformations with a transition from a central economy to a Market economy. These have sought to develop entrepreneurship and encourage FDI inflows, at the same time business is still shaped by history, culture and institutions. For this investigation, the affect of the cultural dimensions including collectivism, power distance, and long term orientation towards the adoption of modern management practices, green innovation and digitization in Uzbekistan is examined. Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions Theory, Theory of Planned Behavior, and the Technology-Organization-Environment are used to analyze these influences in the present research. The study shows that collectivism positively influences the implementation of the modern management practices while high power distance negatively influence it. Long-term orientation to a very large extent influences green innovation and appropriate attitude toward technology is essential for digitalization. Subjective norms which are highly endorsed scale and perceived behavioral control further enhance green innovation and digitization respectively. Furthermore, other adoption conditions such as the technological and environmental support for the adoptions are important while size and centralization of organizations present adoption challenges. Thus, this work enriches the scientific literature by revealing the dependencies of business activities in a transitional economy with respect to cultural values. The conclusions for business and authorities stress the importance of cultural contingency approach to improve organization performance and improvement in Uzbekistan. The future research should incorporate longitudinal studies and pay attention to such other cultural dimensions and characteristics of organizations. Highlights: Uzbekistan transitions from central to market economy, shaping business by culture. Collectivism aids modern management; power distance hinders; long-term orientation boosts innovation. Cultural values, technology, and environment critical for green innovation, digitization success. Keywords: Cultural dimensions, Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions Theory, Theory of Planned Behavior, Technology-Organization-Environment framework, sustainability

Abstract

To develop eco-friendly methods in nanotechnology, an innovative approach to the fabrication of SnO₂/MWCNT nanocomposites using an easily used yet effective green method was achieved. This study shows a sustainable route to highly reducing chemical synthesis, using the natural reducing properties of the eggplant extract. Working successfully, the research was able to create a hybrid nanomaterial comprised of tin oxide (SnO₂) and multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using a simple co-precipitation technique. Combining SnO₂ and MWCNT resulted in a nanocomposite with an intriguing transformation from nanotubular to flower-like structures and uniform distribution of the particles. Detailed analysis showed a crystallite size of ~ 21.75 nm for pure SnO₂ up to 38.98 nm in the hybrid form and retained good uniformity ~ 45.84 nm. Most importantly, the integration of MWCNTs yielded an optimized bandgap reduction from 3.5 to 3.1 eV, improving the material’s light absorption ability. Such improvement opens up exciting applications in photocatalysis, gas sensing and energy storage devices. This eco friendly synthesis method is proven to be viable for creating green advanced nanomaterials, which not only provides proof of concept for green approach in creating advanced nanomaterials but allows for more sustainable practices in nanotechnology development while keeping the high performance standards needed for practical applications.
