Authors: Nurhilmiyah  , Purba Hasim , Sitompul Zulkarnain , Azwar T. Keizerina Devi
Published: April 2024

Law is believed to be able to provide changes towards improving the nation's economy, and can also be a tool to engineer people's behavior in achieving their welfare. One of them is by increasing financial literacy in the field of online loans in the context of development economic law. In recent years since the mushrooming of information technology-based lending and borrowing service providers (LPB2TI) in Indonesia, there have been many legal events related to this online lending and borrowing transaction. Starting from the imposition of loan interest that exceeds the upper limit as determined by the strategic partner of the Financial Services Authority in this case appointed is the Indonesian Fintech Joint Funding Association (APFI), to the low public knowledge about their rights and obligations in the legal relationship of creditors or investors, information technology-based lending and borrowing service providers, and debtors or online loan customers. This is what makes writing this topic very important to pay attention to. In order to elaborate the role of law in increasing inclusive financial literacy in online loans in the context of Economic Development Law.

Retos de la revocación de mandato derivados de la experiencia del proceso aplicable al mandato presidencial 2018-2024
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Gutiérrez Salazar Miguel Ángel
Published: April 2024

Recientemente el gobierno federal de México reconoció la revocación de mandato como un instrumento para evaluar la gestión de quien detenta la titularidad del Poder Ejecutivo como un mecanismo de su rendición de cuentas. Sin embargo, la apresurada expedición de la norma secundaria a nivel federal condujo a que el primer procedimiento de revocación de mandato, realizado en abril de 2022, estuviera lleno de vicios de inconstitucionalidad, así como de excesos y defectos que afectaron el desarrollo de esta nueva figura en el país. En el presente ensayo se analizan las controversias que se suscitaron en el proceso correspondiente al presidente de la República, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, que incidieron en la eficacia de este dispositivo de participación ciudadana en México, a efecto de identificar las áreas de oportunidad en su regulación y formular las propuestas necesarias para asegurar su éxito en la siguiente convocatoria.
Sistemas políticos frente a las autocracias
Authors: Manuel Alcántara Sáez Manuel
Published: April 2024

En el presente texto se lleva a cabo una reflexión en torno a la resiliencia de la democracia en los países latinoamericanos, que admite diferencias notables para cada caso, sobre la base de la conceptualización de la democracia fatigada. La misma se da en el seno de sociedades cansadas en un marco en el que la publicidad desempeña un papel estelar diferente al que desempeñó hasta hace apenas una década. Las serias dificultades existentes para la consolidación del Estado, incapaz de hacerse con el monopolio de la violencia legítima, y la frustrante búsqueda de consensos en sociedades muy fragmentadas, constituyen dos cuestiones que se deben tener en cuenta al finalizar un año que deja sobre la mesa asuntos recurrentes en el borde de la autocracia.

Test anxiety has become a grueling burden, especially for students in the competitive world. As a result, contextualization of anxiety in education has been retaining the attention and demands of educators and psychologists so far. A student’s GPA in academic life is one of the crucial and numerical indicators of academic achievement. This present study endeavors to investigate the potential distinctions between the level of cognitive test anxiety of students in English Language Teaching (ELT) and English Language Literature (ELL) departments and their cumulative GPA (out of 4,00). Also, the second goal of this investigation is to delve into the possible significant differences marked between gender and students’ cognitive test anxiety levels. This investigation presents some sources to explicate test anxiety and students’ GPAs before presenting the main data results from a variety of studies. Finally, the Cognitive Test Anxiety Scale was employed by the researchers, so 60 English Language Teaching students and 46 English Language and Literature students showed their participation (N= 106) on Cognitive Test Anxiety Scale items. Following this part, this research is finalized with the conclusion, which includes an analysis of data results and an examination of relevant research findings. In the conclusion part, it can be seen that Cognitive Test Anxiety scores and students’ departments showed salient differences; however, Cognitive Test Anxiety and participants’ genders have similar points to each other. Moreover, there was no correlation detected between their GPAs and their levels of Cognitive Test Anxiety.

A Priority-Based Self-Adaptive Random Early Detection Algorithm in IoT Gateways
Authors: Sada Abdulrahman Nasiru , Olanrewaju Oyenike Mary , Surajo Yusuf
Published: April 2024

Effective algorithms for queue management are crucial in place of guaranteeing maximum efficiency in gateway routers since network traffic continues to expand dramatically. An online researcher has suggested the Active Queue Management (AQM) strategy regarding the upcoming generation of gateway switches. The common active queue scheme remains (RED) Random Early Detection. Random early detection is susceptible to parameterization issues and lacks a self-adaptation mechanism. Several RED variants have been formed; nevertheless, variations in traffic load have an adverse effect on all of them. Due to the fact that each has a static drop pattern, to address the RED and its variation schemes, the SARED system, or the design of self-adaptive random early detection was created. But in order to prevent congestion, during the time when the queue length surpasses a present maximum threshold limit, SARED aggressively removes packets. This causes networks having a lot of traffic situations the average is expected to increase queue delay, so in those cases, SARED should be less aggressive. This paper develops a priority-based queuing congestion control method for IoT gateways to manage network congestion. Our method (priority-based algorithms) performs substantially better with regard to throughput, delay, and packet loss than the present methods of SARED. The outcomes of the conducted simulation experiments have shown that in scenarios with heavy traffic loads, priority-based self-adaptive random early detection (PSARED) has greatly decreased average queuing delay by 3%, minimized average throughput by 1%, and decreased the rate of packet loss by 10% in contrast to SARED.

Published: April 2024

Millions of Naira are being laundered by criminals through internet fraud, which deceives the victim with a false presentation, or hacking, which involves breaking information system security to steal financial information or data. Cybercrime, more specifically internet fraud, has become a common problem facing the world. In any case, this only occurred if the attacker was able to obtain the victim's account privileges (bank account, credit card information, or login credentials). This work presented an authentication technique that can be inexpensively implemented and used to create a secure architecture that is hard to breach. It can also reduce the amount of overhead that is placed on the authentication server during an attempt at authentication. The possibility of breaking the authentication technique was calculated using probability theory, and the mobile-based authentication algorithm was implemented using Android Studio. The result of this research shows the implementations of RatHole algorithm using android operating system which is file management android app that is being protected with RatHole algorithm and the probability of breaking down the algorithm for 1 to 10 authentication method keeps reducing by averagely 0.12. The implemented Rat-Hole on android devices also consumed 20 to 30 megabytes of data very less than memory consumption of recent research based on block chain solution which consumed 1 gigabyte to 50 gigabyte of memory.

Authors: Gómez-García Antonio Ramón , Chang-León Alywin Hacay , Chiluisa-Gálvez Johanna , Paladines-Torres Cristhian
Published: April 2024

In recent years, the promotion of vocal health in the workplace has become increasingly important. Current literature has identified workers with high vocal demands as a high-risk group for developing Functional Voice Disorders (FVDs). However, in Latin American countries, such as the Republic of Ecuador, there is limited knowledge about this occupational pathology. The objective of this study was to compare the differences in the risk of developing FVDs among occupational groups by analyzing the records of qualifying occupational diseases in the country. The results should be interpreted with caution due to the underdiagnosis of occupational diseases. Given the importance of voice care, comprehensive epidemiologic studies are needed to identify more vulnerable workers.

Published: April 2024

This study aims to explore the influence of self-assessment and peer assessment in learning, the factors affecting the accuracy of self-assessment and peer assessment, and efforts to enhance the accuracy of self-assessment and peer assessment. This research was a qualitative approach with a systematic literature review method. The data collected are from national and international scholarly journals related to self-assessment and peer assessment in learning, which were then analyzed using content analysis. According to the study's findings, using peer and self-evaluation to evaluate students' learning had a very beneficial effect. Thus, it should be put into practice. Additionally, a number of factors, such as self-confidence, emotional intelligence, self-perception of abilities, prior experience, feedback quality, assessment instrument clarity, assessor agreement, and trust in peer assessment, affect how accurately learners assess themselves and each other. Clear assessment criteria and procedures, which provide students direction for both their own and their peers' evaluations, can increase the accuracy of peer and self assessments. Good feedback is essential to improving both assessment techniques' accuracy. In addition, sufficient instruction for pupils is required to guarantee that evaluations are more precise, impartial, and beneficial.

Published: April 2024

Objective: The study aimed to determine the chemical composition and antibacterial, antibiofilm, and anti-quorum sensing activities of the essential oil of Salvia absconditiflora Greuter & Burdet (an endemic species) growing wildly in Türkiye.
Material and Method: The essential oil from the aerial parts of the plant was obtained by hydro-distillation (0.4%) and analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. In addition, the broth microdilution method was used to determine antibacterial activity. The crystal violet assay was performed for antibiofilm activity, and the reporter bacteria Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 12472 was used in the anti-quorum sensing activity test.
Result and Discussion: The major components of the essential oil were identified as 1,8-cineole (32.2%), camphor (13.6%), α-pinene (7.6%), camphene (5.5%), and viridiflorol (5.1%). The essential oil showed the best antibacterial activity against Gram-positive test bacteria, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.0078 (v/v) against Staphylococcus aureus strains. The percentage biofilm inhibition value of the essential oil was determined as 84.4%. The inhibition of violacein production by the essential oil in Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 12472 indicated the possibility of anti-quorum sensing activity. The results of this study show that the essential oil of S. absconditiflora could be a promising alternative in fighting bacterial infections.

Studies employing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been vital in analyzing the various aspects of these diseases. Our research primarily explores several novel MRI markers for ICAS and CSVD, with a special focus on ultra-high field 7 tesla MRI markers. We aimed to study their characteristics, determinants, and cognitive correlates, while also seeking to explore the relationship between ICAS and CSVD. Data was used from the Second Manifestations of ARTerial disease-Magnetic Resonance (SMART-MR) and Memory Depression and Aging (Medea) 7T cohort studies.
In the first part, we focused on intracranial vessel wall lesions, and found associations with several vascular risk factors, MRI markers of large and small vessel disease, and decreased cognitive functioning. In the second part, we focused on cerebral microinfarcts. We found that they are quite common and occur with similar frequency in memory clinic- and arterial disease patients, associated with decreased cognitive functioning, and primarily associated with MRI markers of large vessel disease. In the third part, we focused on white matter hyperintensity (WMH) shape features and observed that a more complex WMH shape associated with decreased cognitive functioning. In addition, our findings suggested that WMH shape contains additional information about the underlying pathological severity, not otherwise described by WMH volume. Lastly, we observed that reduced cerebral perfusion precedes cerebral atrophy, suggesting interventions to improve perfusion may slow atrophy.
In conclusion, this thesis has provided new insights into several new MRI markers of ICAS and CSVD, leading to a better understanding of these diseases and their relationship.
New Methods to Monitor Kidney Function and Damage
Authors:   , Pieters Tobias Theodorus
Published: April 2024

With the ongoing increase in both the prevalence and disease burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD), it remains crucial to develop precise monitoring tools for assessing kidney function and injury. Accurate monitoring may aid clinicians in diagnosing kidney disease, estimating prognosis, guiding the treatment of kidney disease, and dosing of renally excreted drugs. Despite advancements in monitoring kidney function and injury, the implementation of novel techniques in clinical practice remains limited. Currently, the primary diagnostic tools for detecting and monitoring acute and chronic kidney disease are creatinine-based equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), developed in 1999 with updates in 2009 and 2021, and basic urinalysis, dating back to the 19th century. While these methods are cost-effective and user-friendly, they lack the necessary sensitivity to timely diagnose kidney disease or accurately track its progression. Moreover, using the same diagnostic tests for all patients may not be suitable due to individual patient and disease-specific factors. With the development of new technologies and the increased integration of digital healthcare, the incorporation of innovative diagnostic methods could become feasible without confusing or adding additional burden to physicians. This thesis explored approaches for monitoring kidney function and injury as a complement to existing methods in patient care and in pre-clinical disease models.
Human islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP): a culprit of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and T2DM neuropathy

Published: April 2024

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the most prevalent global health challenges in the 21st century, impacting over 500 million individuals by 2021. Among its types, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accounts for more than 90% of all diabetes cases. A significant complication of T2DM is Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN), affecting approximately half of all DM patients. DPN manifests with sensory function alterations, ranging from increased sensitivity to decreased sensation. While hyperglycemia has been traditionally implicated in DPN development, recent evidence suggests the involvement of additional factors.
This thesis explores into the role of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) in T2DM and its complications, particularly DPN. Initially considered solely a metabolic disorder, T2DM is increasingly recognized as an amyloid disease due to the formation of islet amyloid, primarily composed of the protein IAPP. Drawing parallels with other amyloid-related neuropathies, the research explores the potential contribution of aggregated human IAPP (hIAPP) to DPN in T2DM.
Through a comprehensive investigation utilizing transgenic T2DM mouse models expressing hIAPP, the study elucidates the neuropathic effects of hIAPP aggregation. Findings demonstrate mechanical hypersensitivity, reduced intraepidermal nerve fiber density, and neurotoxicity associated with hIAPP. Importantly, these effects are mitigated when hIAPP aggregation is inhibited. Moreover, analysis of gene expression profiles in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) highlights molecular pathways influenced by hIAPP, shedding light on its mechanisms in neuropathy development.
Furthermore, therapeutic intervention with an amyloid oligomer-modifying compound, anle138b, proves promising in inhibiting hIAPP aggregation and ameliorating T2DM-associated pathology. Treatment of hIAPP transgenic mice with anle138b significantly reduces hyperglycemia, preserves pancreatic islet function, and mitigates neuropathic symptoms, underscoring its potential as a therapeutic agent for T2DM and its complications.
In summary, this thesis unveils the intricate involvement of hIAPP in DPN development, emphasizing the significance of targeting hIAPP aggregation as a therapeutic strategy for T2DM and its associated DPN. These findings pave the way for novel therapeutic interventions aimed at preventing and managing T2DM and its debilitating sequelae.
Numerical studies on shock wave and boundary layer interaction in the high-load turbine rotor cascades

Design of transonic high-load turbine is the essential approach to improve thrust-to-weight ratio of gas turbine engines. The shock wave and boundary layer interaction (SWBLI) in high-load turbine is one of the important unsteady sources and the main source of loss in turbine stages. In order to study mechanism of SWBLI in high-load turbine, rotor blades with loading coefficients range from 1.6 to 2 were designed and Delayed Detached Eddy Simulations (DDES) were carried out. The influences of loading coefficient, exit isentropic Mach number and incidence angle on characteristics of shock wave, SWBLI as well as flow details in the blade passages were compared. Results indicated the shock wave was generated and enhanced as exit isentropic Mach numbers increased leading to the increase of 2.8% in the total pressure loss coefficient. There was not significant difference in the total pressure loss coefficient as loading coefficient increased, however the shock wave was stronger and the separation bubble was longer at the loading coefficient of 1.6. Meanwhile, the influence of strong separation near the leading edge of suction surface induced by variation of incidence angles on the characteristics of the shock wave and the loss was also obvious.
Una mirada contextual al edadismo

Las creencias negativas sobre el envejecimiento han contribuido a generar actitudes, conductas y emociones negativas hacia las personas mayores. Esta discriminación por cuestión de edad se conoce como Edadismo, con consecuencias negativas sobre todos los ámbitos de las personas mayores, su calidad de vida y satisfacción vital. En este artículo se ofrece una revisión teórica del funcionamiento de las creencias negativas sobre el envejecimiento desde la óptica de la Teoría de los Marcos Relacionales (Hayes et al., 2001). Desde esta perspectiva se analiza la categorización de las personas mayores y la transformación derivada de funciones (generalmente negativas) en forma de experiencias privadas que pueden tener consecuencias en la conducta de la persona que envejece y en su entorno. Se propone la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso como estrategia de intervención ante la fusión cognitiva de los estereotipos y prejuicios negativos y la evitación experiencial, con el fin de reducir el autoestigma y malestar internalizado.
