Development of a Novel Therapeutic Approach Using RNA Interference for Targeting Viral Genes
Abstract: RNA interference (RNAi) is a ground breaking therapeutic strategy that holds immense promise for targeting viral genes in the treatment of viral infections. This approach leverages the natural gene-silencing mechanisms of RNAi to inhibit viral replication and expression at the molecular level, providing a precise and adaptable method to counteract viral pathogens, including influenza, HIV, and hepatitis viruses. Recent advancements in RNAi technology have enabled the development of highly specific …

Linguistic Minimalism in Digital Communication: The Shrinking of Language in Hyper-Speed Communication Environments
Abstract: The digital revolution has fundamentally transformed linguistic practices, precipitating what we term "linguistic minimalism"—the systematic reduction of language to essential semantic components in hyper-speed communication environments. This research examines how contemporary digital platforms have catalyzed a contraction in linguistic expression through abbreviations, semantic compression, emoji symbolism, and strategic silence. Drawing on discourse analysis, pragmatics, and social semiotics, this study explores four interconnected dimensions: emojis and GIFs as primary meaning carriers, …

Overcoming Obstacles to an HIV-1 Cure: Advances in Genome Editing, Immune System Reprogramming, and Viral Reservoir Elimination
Abstract: Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) continues to represent a major global health challenge despite the remarkable success of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Although ART effectively suppresses viral replication and prolongs survival, it cannot eradicate the virus due to the persistence of long-lived latent reservoirs. In recent years, innovative therapeutic strategies have been explored with the aim of achieving either a functional remission or complete viral elimination. Advances in genome-editing technologies, particularly …

Automatic Language Identification using Basic Signal Class
Abstract: Automatic language identification (ASLID) is a problem of identifying an unknown language from spoken utterance by a computer. A segmental approach to ASLID based on the assumption that the acoustic structure of languages can be estimated by segmenting speech into three basic classes of speech signals. This paper presents a procedure of ASLID with the details of methodology and the results without recognizing the words, but the lengths segments of …

Clinical Outcomes of Diode Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty and Excisional Hemorrhoidoplasty in Grade II–III Internal Hemorrhoids: A Randomized Clinical Study
Abstract: Hemorrhoidal disease is a common condition that affects the area around the anus and is found in many adults. Surgery is needed when there is repeated bleeding, when the hemorrhoids slip out of place, or when a blood clot forms. Although traditional surgery for hemorrhoids works, it often causes a lot of pain after the operation and takes longer to recover from. Laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) is a newer, less invasive …

Trauma of Survival and the Politics of Memory in Emile Habiby's The Secret Life of Saeed: The Pessoptimist
Abstract: Emile Habiby’s the Secret Life of Saeed: The Pessoptimist (1974) presents one of the most innovative and politically complex literary responses to the Palestinian Nakba and its enduring consequences. Through a distinctive fusion of satire, irony, absurdity, political allegory, and fragmented narration, Habiby departs from conventional representations of trauma and resistance. Rather than portraying Palestinian survival as a heroic or triumphant process of recovery, the novel presents survival as an …
