Abstract: Skin Repair Plus Ointment (Remanco) is an advanced formulation of the traditional Jordanian cream, which has been used for treating burn injuries and has served as an alternative remedy in northern Jordan for several decades. In this study, we sought to investigate the therapeutic effects of Remanco on the healing morphology and molecular alterations associated with burn wounds. This randomized controlled experiment involved 90 Wistar rats (160−170 grams) that were randomly assigned to three groups of 30 rats each. The groups were designated as follows: negative control (burn treated with normal saline), positive control (burn treated with 1% silver sulfadiazine), and tested (burn treated with Remanco cream). Burn injuries were inflicted on the shaved dorsum of the rats using a preheated 30-mm-wide circular copper head device. The burns were treated daily with normal saline, 1% silver sulfadiazine, or Remanco cream for 30 days or until the animals were sacrificed. Gross evaluation, histopathological assessment, and RT-PCR Analysis were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Remanco cream in promoting wound healing. Although there was no statistically significant difference in wound area measurements or histopathological ratings, the cosmetic appearance of the wound area exhibited a significant improvement in the Remanco cream-treated group. Molecular investigations revealed that the Remanco-treated group demonstrated a significant increase in the levels of two essential growth factors: TGF-beta on day 3 and IGF-1 on day 9, with a p-value less than 0.05. In summary, Remanco cream holds potential for enhancing wound healing in animal models, but further studies are necessary to investigate its potential clinical applications.

Abstract: Background The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has prioritized healthcare advancement, yet Emirati male enrollment in nursing remains low. Understanding the perceptions and influencing factors related to this issue is crucial for addressing workforce gender imbalances. Aim to explore perceptions of nursing as a profession among Emirati male students, and identify sociocultural, institutional, and economic factors contributing to low male enrollment in nursing programs in the UAE Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study across self-reported survey various community settings in the UAE. A convenience sample of 863 Emirati adults was recruited between February and April 2025. Data were collected using a survey containing a demographic questionnaire and three validated instruments: the Factors Encouraging Enrollment in Nursing Scale, the Nursing Image Scale (NIS), and the Perception of Nursing as a Profession questionnaire. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics 29 using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, chi-square tests, Pearson correlations, and generalized linear models (α = 0.05). Results The most frequently reported motivators for nursing interest were altruism (72.5 %), family encouragement (72.5 %), job stability (70.6 %), and financial incentives (70.2 %). Prior healthcare exposure and interaction with nurses were also associated with positive views. Positive perceptions—defined as scores ranging from 11 to 20, reflecting favorable views of nursing—were more common among participants with prior health education, married individuals, and those enrolled in technical or vocational programs. Overall, 73.5 % of respondents exhibited a positive perception of the nursing profession based on categorical scoring. Regression analysis identified nursing image (β = 0.45, p < .001) and prior health education (β = 0.31, p < .001) as the strongest predictors of positive perceptions. Conclusions Emirati males generally hold positive views toward nursing, shaped by both intrinsic motivations and pragmatic factors. Addressing male under-enrollment requires targeted strategies such as improving the public image of nursing, increasing early clinical exposure, and promoting nursing's societal value. Given the self-reported nature of the survey, findings may not be generalizable to all Emirati males.

Array, 28

Faculty: Science

Abstract: Accurate modelling of complex, nonlinear and nonstationary datasets remains a critical challenge in predictive analytics. This study introduces a novel variational mode decomposition-elastic net regression (VMD-Enet) framework that combines VMD with ENet to enhance prediction accuracy and interpretability. VMD first decomposes signals into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), effectively denoising data and improving feature representation. ENet is then applied to select the most significant predictors while managing multicollinearity. The proposed approaches are evaluated using numerical simulations and real stock market data. The proposed VMD-ENet model demonstrated superior performance over the other methods. In the case of the stock market experimental analysis, VMD-ENet achieved the lowest errors, with RSS = 88.90, RMSE = 0.837, MAE = 0.668, and WQE = 0.0006. Compared to other regularization approaches, VMD-ENet significantly identifies key predictors without arbitrarily discarding correlated variables, ensuring model stability. These findings highlight the framework's robustness, interpretability and predictive superiority, making it a promising tool for financial market analysis and broader applications in complex data modelling.

Abstract: Abstract Background/Aims Workplace violence against healthcare staff is global problem, with serious implications for the safety and wellbeing of healthcare professionals. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of workplace violence in hospital settings and the circumstances surrounding it, as well as staff members’ responses, coping mechanisms and available support in Jordan. Methods This descriptive exploratory study used a retrospective cross-sectional design, collecting data from 651 healthcare workers with an online survey. Multiple-choice items were used to collect information on respondents’ experience of workplace violence, including the nature of the incident, the impact and support received. 5-point Likert scales were used to measure respondents’ emotional response to incidents and their level of satisfaction with how it was handled by managers. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data, with SPSS version 25. Results Nearly half (n=316, 48.5%) of the 651 participants had experienced workplace violence in the previous 1 year, with verbal violence being the most common type. Perpetrators of violent incidents were most commonly patients’ friends or relatives (32.3%) and patients themselves (31.4%). The most common reasons for not reporting the incident was the perception that doing so was unimportant or useless. Many felt dissatisfied with their organisation’s handling of the incident (46.8%), with only 7.0?eling very satisfied. Conclusions Violence against healthcare staff is unacceptably common, reflecting the impact of this global problem on hospitals in Jordan. This study also found negative perceptions of reporting incidents. This reflects the need for more effective violence prevention measures to ensure that healthcare staff are safe in the workplace and feel able to report incidents when they do occur. Implications for practice The high prevalence of workplace violence found in this study underline the need for zero-tolerance policies to ensure a safe workplace. This could include establishing effective and accessible reporting systems and implementing regular training on how to manage workplace conflicts and violence.

Faculty: Engineering and Technology

Abstract: In this study, a new integrated circuit design called H-bridge multilevel inverter matrix converter (HMIMC), which combines a multilevel inverter (MI), a matrix converter (MC), and an H-bridge circuit, is developed. It aims to generate a high number of output voltage levels that reduce the component count (CC). The MI step is used to control the positive voltage source, where the output of MI is connected to the input of MC. The MC is used to share the positive input voltage due to output phases, depending on the requirements. Afterward, the H-bridge circuit is used in each phase to select the positive or negative output voltage. The main contribution of this design is that the MI does not need to be repeated thrice to produce a three-phase output voltage. A seven-level (7L) andthirteen-level (13L) of proposed circuit is presented, followed by a new algorithm operation that is used for suitable switching control. Afterward, MATLAB simulation is used to check the operation process, output signals of voltage and current, and totalharmonic distortion (THD) results. Then hardware circuit of the proposed system is implemented to verify the design. Lastly, a brief comparison in terms of CC is conducted.

Abstract: Background Acanthamoeba spp. are one of the free-living amoeba that spread worldwide causing keratitis. Owing to the increase in the use of lenses, whether for medical or cosmetic purposes, the incidence of disease increases every year. Contamination of the lenses with the Acanthamoeba trophozoites or cysts may lead to eye infection and cause sight-threatening keratitis in human. We isolated Acanthamoeba spp. from new lenses, used lenses, and contact lens disinfecting solutions and identified them based on morphological characteristics and molecular test. Methods New and used lenses and contact lens disinfecting solutions were cultured on monogenic media. Light and scanning electron microscope was used to identify Acanthamoeba spp. morphological features. Genotype identification was also evaluated using PCR sequencing of 18S rRNA gene specific primer pair JDP1 and JDP2. Results A hundred samples were examined, 29 (29%) were infected with Acanthamoeba spp. That belonged to two strains of Acanthamoeba (Acanthamoeba 41 and Acanthamoeba 68). 18S rRNA of the Acanthamoeba 41 had 99.69% sequence identity to Acanthamoeba castellanii clone HDU-JUMS-2, whereas Acanthamoeba 68 had 99.74% similar pattern to that of Acanthamoeba sp. isolate T4 clone ac2t4 that are morphologically identified as Acanthamoeba polyphaga. The obtained data revealed that the isolated strains belong to T4 genotype that was evolutionarily similar to strains isolated in Iran. Conclusions Cosmetic lenses and disinfectant solutions are a major transmissible mode for infection. This genotype is common as the cause of Acanthamoeba keratitis. To avoid infection, care must be taken to clean the lenses and their preservative solutions and prevent contamination with the parasite.

Research Title: Harnessing the Power of a Novel Triple Chelate Complex in Fermented Probiotic Dairy Products: A Promising Solution for Combating Iron Deficiency Anemia

Author: Faten Abdo Mohammed Hassan, Published Year: 2024

ACS Omega, 9

Faculty: Science

Abstract: This study discovered and examined novel triple chelate complexes involving iron, ascorbic acid, and essential amino 8 acids (AsA-Fe-AmA triple chelate complexes) for the first time. The mechanism of complex formation was studied using FTIR 9 spectroscopy and quantum chemical modeling. The produced complexes were shown to be suitable for fortifying food items with a 10 pH of 3−7 that have not been exposed to heat treatment at temperatures over 75°C for more than 15 min. Thus, it can be said that 11 the concentration for milk fortification should be 0.005 mol/L or less. In vivo experiments in rats models revealed that the 12 synthesized complexes increased serum iron levels after a single application to reference values within 24 h of oral administration. 13 The iron level increased by 14.0 mmol/L at 2 mL dose of the complex. This fact makes it possible to consider the use of developed 14 complexes and developed fermented dairy products for the prevention of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia. Research on the 15 effect of discovered compounds on the physicochemical and organoleptic qualities of milk was conducted. Furthermore, iron 16 ascorbate threoninate, iron ascorbate methioninate, iron ascorbate lysinate, and iron ascorbate tryptophanate all had a beneficial 17 effect on Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus at concentrations as low as 0.0005 mol/L, which is significant for milk fermentation. A study of 18 fermented milk products revealed that the most effective AsA-Fe-AmA triple chelate complex is iron ascorbate lysinate, which might 19 be further investigated as a viable molecule for dietary fortification in iron deficiency anemia. It was found that fortified fermented 20 milk products had a titratable acidity of 67 ± 1°T, pH of 4.38 ± 0.05, and a viscosity of 2018 ± 142 Pa·s
