Tgf-B Signaling Pathways In The Development Of Diabetic Retinopathy, Andrew Callan, Sonal Jha, Laura Valdez, Lois F. Baldado, Andrew Tsin Sep 2024

Tgf-B Signaling Pathways In The Development Of Diabetic Retinopathy, Andrew Callan, Sonal Jha, Laura Valdez, Lois F. Baldado, Andrew Tsin

Research Colloquium

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a prevalent complication of diabetes mellitus affecting a significant portion of the global population, has long been viewed primarily as a microvascular disorder. However, emerging evidence suggests that it should be redefined as a neurovascular disease with multifaceted pathogenesis rooted in oxidative stress and advanced glycation end products. The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling family has emerged as a major contributor to DR pathogenesis due to its pivotal role in retinal vascular homeostasis, endothelial cell barrier function, and pericyte differentiation. However, the precise roles of TGF-β signaling in DR remain incompletely understood, with conflicting reports on its …

Casein Gene Polymorphism Of Goat In Thailand, Naparat Naowanat, Duangsmorn Suwattana, Boonnarong Suphap

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The genetic polymorphism of the casein genes and the evaluation of haplotype variability in Saanen and Thai Native breeds in Thailand were investigated. The 23 Saanen and 42 Thai Native goats were genotyped at CSN1S1, CSN2, CSN1S2, and CSN3 loci using sequencing techniques. Three variants of A, C, and E on the CSN1S1 gene locus were demonstrated. The genotypic frequencies of CSN1S1 AA, AC, and AE are shared by over 80% of the population. The CSN2 A and F alleles were observed. The CSN2 genotypes of AA, AF, and FF were indicated with the majority of AF frequency. The 2 …

Decency And Dignity: Exploring Margalit’S Concept Of Humiliation In The Filipino Context, Concordia Marie A. Lagasca-Hiloma Sep 2024

Decency And Dignity: Exploring Margalit’S Concept Of Humiliation In The Filipino Context, Concordia Marie A. Lagasca-Hiloma

Budhi: A Journal of Ideas and Culture

While emphasizing the connection between dignity and selfrespect, Israeli philosopher Avishai Margalit contends that a decent society is one where institutions do not humiliate individuals. The Filipino translation of humiliation as paghiyâ introduces nuances, as its root word hiya also encompasses shame and embarrassment. In distinguishing between shame, embarrassment, and humiliation in Filipino society, this article argues that the closest translation aligning with Margalit’s concept is yurak. However, it also contends that applying the concept of pagkayurak ng pagkatao (desecration of one’s dignity) to Filipino social institutions presents challenges due to cultural values emphasizing respect, equality, and fairness.


Socrates Or Jesus: Forms Of Humanism In The God Debate, Adrian Rosenfeldt, Scott Doidge Sep 2024

Socrates Or Jesus: Forms Of Humanism In The God Debate, Adrian Rosenfeldt, Scott Doidge

Budhi: A Journal of Ideas and Culture

In the twenty-first–century God debate in the West two forms of humanism have emerged. On the atheist side of the debate, Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins have propagated a Socratic humanism that holds reason to be capable of providing a road map for the good life. On the religious apologist side of the debate, literary critic Terry Eagleton has advocated a form of tragic humanism. Hitchens and his fellow New Atheists contend that once our dark, superstitious, and religious past is expunged, reason will lead us toward an enlightened dawn. Eagleton rejects the New Atheist’s vision of a secular utopia. …


The Dynamics And Praxis Of Qur’Anic Tolerance: Selected Muslim Scholars In Their Encounters With Christianity, Henry Francis B. Espiritu Sep 2024

The Dynamics And Praxis Of Qur’Anic Tolerance: Selected Muslim Scholars In Their Encounters With Christianity, Henry Francis B. Espiritu

Budhi: A Journal of Ideas and Culture

Contemporary mass media portray Muslim societies as intolerant of other religious, cultural, and ideological beliefs. This article argues that the Qur’an as the primary basis of normative Islam promotes tolerance, harmony and goodwill among all peoples regardless of their differences. The Qur’anic perspective of tolerance provides the basic foundation and dynamics of creating a pluralistic and inclusive society that respects diversity and differences. This article likewise provides the Qur’anic primary textual sources that exemplify Islam's concordant and tolerant approaches toward religious and ideological differences. The Qur’anic metaphysical positionality on the ontological unity of humanity harmonizes well with the social reality …


Locating The Ilokano Baglan In The Gender And Sexuality Continuum, Aurelio Solver Agcaoili Sep 2024

Locating The Ilokano Baglan In The Gender And Sexuality Continuum, Aurelio Solver Agcaoili

Budhi: A Journal of Ideas and Culture

The article is an attempt to recover the baglan tradition of ritual healing among the Ilokano people. Currently, only pejorative comments exist about this baglan tradition whose practices represent the continuum of sex, sexuality, and gender among these groups of people in the Northern Philippines. The argument presented leads to a critique of knowledge formation in colonial Ilocos and unmasks the problem of reproduced versions of the truth about the baglan and their role in the definition of the healthy human being and the healthy community. The ungendered baglan, is, in fact, the person that is all-gender, all-sex, and all-sexuality, …

The Practical Implementation Of Virtual Instruction To Support Cognitive Development In Students With Low-Incidence Disabilities Through Social-Emotional Interactions, Ida Smith Sep 2024

The Practical Implementation Of Virtual Instruction To Support Cognitive Development In Students With Low-Incidence Disabilities Through Social-Emotional Interactions, Ida Smith

Student Theses and Dissertations

This qualitative phenomenological study examines special education teachers’ perspectives to understand how virtual learning environments can support, through social–emotional interactions, the cognitive development of students with low-incident disabilities in a homebound setting. For this study, which was based on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory (1978), qualitative data were collected through 15 semi-structured interviews with special education teachers with experience providing virtual instruction to students with low-incidence disabilities. The study’s findings showed that special education teachers perceive virtual instruction as benefiting low-incidence disability students in a homebound setting. The data also revealed that specific accommodations and modifications, which the special education teachers believed …

Assessing Two Methodologies To Protect Stored Rice From Insect Infestation, Md Naim Uddin Sep 2024

Assessing Two Methodologies To Protect Stored Rice From Insect Infestation, Md Naim Uddin

Student Theses and Dissertations

Rice can be infested with various insects during storage. Long-lasting insecticide netting (LLIN) can be a good barrier for insects if LLIN can be employed to air vents in rice mills. However, accumulated dust from milling practices could impact LLIN efficacy. Two experiments were conducted, in one experiment, lesser grain borer (LGB), Rhyzopertha dominca (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) exposed to LLIN for 1 and 10 min and assessed mortality after 1 h and 1 week. In another experiment, maize weevil (MW), Sitophilus zeamais [Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)] exposed to the same LLIN and examined knockdown after 24 h. LLIN demonstrated higher mortality …


Air Content Variation In Concrete At Different Stages Of Its Lifecycle, Mohammad Sarfaraz Uddin Sep 2024

Air Content Variation In Concrete At Different Stages Of Its Lifecycle, Mohammad Sarfaraz Uddin

Student Theses and Dissertations

In cold climates, concrete structures are susceptible to deterioration from the freezing and thawing of water within the concrete. The arrangement of air voids is crucial for the concrete to endure the freeze-thaw cycles. This research investigates changes in the air void system within concrete using a super air meter and the properties of both fresh and hardened concrete at various stages, including mixing and after pumping. Laboratory mixes used different dosages of air-entraining admixes and included Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as a supplementary material. Adding RHA to the mix resulted in a decrease in air content of about 2.2%, …
