Abstract	The partial or full replacement of natural aggregates with recycled ones can lessen the harmful effects of concrete industry on the environment. Despite offering sustainability benefits, recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is inherently brittle under tension similar to natural aggregate concrete (NAC). The present study aimed to enhance the ductility of plain RAC by using hybrid fibers. The effect of single and hybrid fibers was studied on the flexural behavior (flexural strength, flexural toughness, residual strength), splitting tensile strength, and compressive strength of RAC. Polypropylene fiber (PPF) and hooked steel fiber (HSF) and hybrid fiber combination (0.85% HSF + 0.15% PPF) were used in RAC and NAC at a 1% volume fraction of concrete. The results showed that RAC with 1% PPF performed poorly compared to the RAC with 1% HSF. RAC incorporating 1% HSF or hybrid HSF-PPF fibers showed overall better performance than plain NAC. A substantial increment in the tensile and flexural strength of RAC was observed with the incorporation singular HSF and hybrid HSF-PPF. Hybrid fibers have higher efficiency than singular HSF in both RAC and NAC. Residual strength, flexural strength, and flexural toughness of RAC with HSF and hybrid fibers were notably higher compared to the conventional plain NAC. The addition of 0.85% HSF + 0.15% PPF is beneficial to the imperviousness of concrete, and it reduced the water absorption capacity of RAC by 6.4%.

Abstract	The sit-to-stand (STS) model from a biomechanical point of view is an enormously important subject, with motor controls simulating human intended behavior. Physiological motion-based biomechanical research is important for designing whole-body prosthetics and understanding physical disabilities. The control strategies for biomechanical models can effectively synergize with the central nervous system (CNS) to facilitate the desired movements of individuals with neurological disabilities. In this study, we present our novel 3D biped model by decoupling it into healthy and neurologically deficient joints. The developed 8-segment model (i.e., 2× feet, 2× shanks, 2× thighs, 1× pelvic, and 1× Head Arm Torso (HAT) segment) with 10 joints is decoupled into 6 healthy joints and 4 deficient joints. This decoupling mimics stroke patients or subjects with neuromuscular deficiency. This novel decoupling establishes through asymmetrical torques in frontal and sagittal plane joints on a bipedal design with one foot fixed and the other a sliding tilt joint. In this design, two decoupled controllers collaborate to stabilize the nonlinear model for biped STS transfer. Utilizing the xml files from SOLIDWORKS, the model is linearized in SIMSCAPE / SIMULINK. We further imply the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) optimal controller design in MATLAB / SIMULINK for torques in both the sagittal and frontal planes, respectively, for six healthy and four deficient joints. We also comprehend the forward thrust velocity controls to pragmatically model the STS of stroke patients. This decoupling enhanced the overall stability of the system and simulated more relevant angular and velocity profiles for neurologically deficient substances.

Article ; Online: EKGDR: An End-to-End Knowledge Graph-Based Method for Computational Drug Repurposing.

Abstract	The lengthy and expensive process of developing new drugs from scratch, coupled with a high failure rate, has prompted the emergence of drug repurposing/repositioning as a more efficient and cost-effective approach. This approach involves identifying new therapeutic applications for existing approved drugs, leveraging the extensive drug-related data already gathered. However, the diversity and heterogeneity of data, along with the limited availability of known drug-disease interactions, pose significant challenges to computational drug design. To address these challenges, this study introduces EKGDR, an end-to-end knowledge graph-based approach for computational drug repurposing. EKGDR utilizes the power of a drug knowledge graph, a comprehensive repository of drug-related information that encompasses known drug interactions and various categorization information, as well as structural molecular descriptors of drugs. EKGDR employs graph neural networks, a cutting-edge graph representation learning technique, to embed the drug knowledge graph (nodes and relations) in an end-to-end manner. By doing so, EKGDR can effectively learn the underlying causes (intents) behind drug-disease interactions and recursively aggregate and combine relational messages between nodes along different multihop neighborhood paths (relational paths). This process generates representations of disease and drug nodes, enabling EKGDR to predict the interaction probability for each drug-disease pair in an end-to-end manner. The obtained results demonstrate that EKGDR outperforms previous models in all three evaluation metrics: area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC = 0.9475), area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC = 0.9490), and recall at the top-200 recommendations (Recall@200 = 0.8315). To further validate EKGDR's effectiveness, we evaluated the top-20 candidate drugs suggested for each of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

Abstract	Food-borne infections and diseases remain one of the major concerns of public health and food safety caused by a wide range of pathogens contaminating food and food products. Staphylococcal food poisoning is one of the most economically important foodborne diseases in public health programs worldwide while the most common and important species of Escherichia genus which consists of five species, these species that cause human infection. A total of 44 swab samples were collected from different animals (Cow, Buffalo, and Goat). These samples were collected from Al Qurnah farm, animal farm of Basrah veterinary collage. These samples were collected mainly from 4 locations in the animal body (nose, mouth, rectum, and vagina). The results indicates that the most E. coli isolation comes from the cows followed by goat and the most contaminated areas was mouth ( 100 % ) followed by nasal cavity ( 90.9 % ) , rectum ( 72% ) and finally vaginal cavity (54.5 %) while the results of S. aureus infected revealed that high percentage , were rectal samples (90.9%); nasal samples; (81.8%)and (72.7%) for both vaginal and oral samples. All animals were infected approximately equally with S. aureus. Antibiotic susceptibility test for E. coli concluded that the bacteria were sensitive to (Clindamycin, Cefoxirim and Erythromycin) and were resistance to Vancomycin and Tetracycline While Antibiotic susceptibility result for S. aureus showed susceptibility to Clindamycin, and Tetracycline and complete resistance to Cefotaxime and Vancomycin.

Abstract	Synthetic mesh is often utilised for reinforcement in pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Mesh erosion to surrounding structures is a recognised complication following sacrocolpopexy, but translocation to the vagina is more common. We report an unusual case of delayed asymptomatic erosion of the mesh into the rectum 12 years after sacrocolpopexy.

Article: Reflection on traditional sporting games: the impact of bodily involvement on empathic dimensions.

Abstract	The aim of this study was to investigate bodily engagement and involvement in traditional sporting games (TSGs), with a focus on the development of empathy. Even though the current research on empathy has been focused on its emotional component, the name "empathy" alludes to a considerably more profound dimension than emotional engagement. Empathy refers to the ability to perceive another person's private life through the exchange of contextual factors provided through interactive sports activities. In this study, based on real-world experiences, it has been demonstrated that traditional sporting games stimulate, preserve, or reveal empathic capacities in several ways. Games can show and sustain the full potential of empathic dispositions if they are present at a young age. Moreover, by examining empathy through the prism of a TSG, we recognized them as a source of relational empathy and feelings developed to various degrees by direct involvement. As a result, we may define empathy as an integrated pedagogy that can be more successfully conducted through TSGs which are multifaceted because of their internal and external logic systems. Essentially, the hypotheses discussed in this study allow us to postulate that the physical gaming involvement of players, such as role changes, influences the individual's empathic dimensions. Furthermore, the characteristics of traditional sporting game interaction networks may serve as a source of encouragement or inspiration for a wide range of games (theatrical, social, etc.).

Abstract	Some freshwater teleost fish have pigment cells whose arrangement and shape are affected by the environment. Natural light has a wide range of light intensity. Fish are sensitive to the background and exposed light colour. Fish body colour is a significant criterion in fixing its market value, whether it is ornamental or edible. By favourable light exposure, a culturist may get a good market value of fish on most ethical grounds. In this study, we recorded the changes in melanophore response with the changes in light colour on Channa punctata. Adult fish were treated with monochromatic lights (darkness, white, blue and red light) for 5 and 28 days. After treatment, their body colour and melanophore size, number, length and the number of dendrites were studied. The results showed a significant influence of monochromatic light on melanophore arrangement in fish skin. The data showed that blue light is appropriate for the overall species colour of photic C. punctata. Continuous black or white light caused severe damage to the fish's appearance.
