Authors: Park Hyewon
Published: May 2024

Religions are among the most universal and influential social institutions, and they exert significant impacts on the attitudes, values, and behaviors of individuals and societies. Previously quite closed, Muslim women’s fashion has become trendy—a phenomenon most evident among young generations of women in Indonesia and Malaysia. This study examines the background and significance of the dynamic changes in fashioning that have occurred in the clothing of Southeast Asian Muslim women. Simultaneously, it investigates the emergence of Southeast Asian Muslim women consumers as an essential force in the global fashion market and the influencers that exert tremendous power over them. Finally, the study analyzes fashion trends in Southeast Asian Muslim countries. As an expression of individual fashion desires, the fashioning of Southeast Asian Muslim women helps elucidate trends in the current social environment. At the same time, in the midst of a rapidly changing international trade environment, Southeast Asia is attracting global attention as a fashion market.

After Finnegans Wake : Caryl Churchill’s The Skriker
Authors: Attridge Derek
Published: May 2024

The influence of Joyce’s Finnegans Wake is evident in many later literary works; some of these exploit the visual dimension of the page, others employ an unpunctuated, run-on style, yet others use a distorted form of the language. None achieve the pleasurable exuberance of the consistent portmanteau style of the Wake, however. An exception is Caryl Churchill’s play The Skriker, which substitutes for Joyce’s lexical and phrasal superimposition a technique of lexical and phrasal overlapping. Examples of this style are discussed, demonstrating Churchill’s skill in producing an innovative mode of language that relies less then the Wake on its existence on the page.
In the Middle of a Reign

Published: May 2024

By the mid-1990s, twenty-five years after Sultan Qaboos came to power and in the middle of his reign, the past—and local values associated with it—garnered significant interest for many in Bahla, a medium-sized pre-Islamic oasis town in interior Oman. Townspeople organized and opened a new library for the first time and town elders wrote and copied local histories to disseminate and sell at bookshops in the town suq. Such interest in local history did not appear suddenly or out of the blue.

Toplumsal Cinsiyet ve Annelik: Kadınların Deneyimleri Üzerinden Nitel Bir Araştırma
Authors: Ozansoy Tunçdemir Nihan
Published: May 2024

Annelik ve anne olmak modern dünyada toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri temelinde belirlenen özelliklerle tanımlanan bir olgudur. Günümüzde özellikle ataerkil kültürün hakim olduğu toplumlarda kadının en önemli rolü olarak annelik hala ön sıralarda yerini almaktadır. Ataerkil değerler içinde kadının başat rolü olarak kabul edilen annelik olgusu, kadının doğuştan getirdiği içgüdüsel bir özellik olarak kabul edilir ve her kadının doğal olarak anne olabileceği varsayılır. Ancak annelik doğuştan gelen bir rol olmaktan çok sonradan öğrenilen ve kadınlar için, içinde birçok zorluğu, çatışmayı ve çelişkiyi içinde barındıran bir süreçtir. Bu çalışma annelik deneyimi yaşamış kadınların, annelikle ilgili anlatılarına ve anlamlandırmalarına yer vermektedir. Kadınların anneliği genel olarak nasıl anlamlandırdığı, hamilelik, doğum ve sonraki süreçte yaşadıkları deneyimler üzerinden nasıl bir annelik kurgusu oluşturdukları araştırmanın ortaya koymaya çalıştığı anlamlandırmalar arasındadır. Çalışma, nitel araştırma yöntemi ile kurgulanmış, kadınların annelik deneyimlerinin ortaya konması amacıyla derinlemesine görüşme tekniği, konunun içeriğine ve amacına uygun görülmüştür. Toplamda 13 kadın ile derinlemesine görüşme yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda kadınların annelik deneyiminin toplumsal cinsiyet normları çerçevesinde şekillendiği, anneliğin kadınlar üzerinde oldukça zorlu bir deneyim olduğu ve bu rolün “gereğini” yerine getirmeleri noktasında baskı hissettikleri görülmüştür. Anneliğin içgüdüsel ve kendiliğinden gelen bir duygu değil zamanla gelişen ve öğrenilen bir rol olduğu, kadınların da bu rolle ilgili sürekli olarak çatışma ve çelişki yaşadıkları ortaya konmuştur.
Televizyon Dizilerinde Çeşitlenen Ve Farklılaşan Erkeklikler: Magarsus (2023) Örneklemi
Authors: Yiğit Zehra
Published: May 2024

Erkeklik çalışmalarının kurucu isimlerinden biri olan Raewyn Connell, toplumsal olarak inşa edilmiş toplumsal cinsiyet kalıpları üzerine odaklanırken, erkeklikleri toplumsal cinsiyet rejimi üzerinden sorgular ve toplumda birbirlerinden farklı, çoğul erkeklikler olduğunu saptar. Connell, Masculinities (2005) kitabında medya metinlerinin erkeklik tanımları ile dolu olduğunu bir kültürel süreç olarak erkekliğin buralarda üretildiğini belirtir.
Televizyon metinlerindeki erkeklik tanımlarını çözümleme yolu, aynı zamanda hakim ideolojiyi deşifre etmenin de bir yoludur. Bu çalışma, Connell’in erkeklik çalışmalarından hareketle, 2023 yapımı BluTv yapımı Magarsus isimli diziyi analiz edecektir. Çalışma temsil edilecek homojen, tek bir erkeklik tanımı olmadığından ve toplumsal değişimle ilişkili olarak erkekliklerin dinamik ve değişken olduğunu kabul ederek, heterojen bir evrenin tekil bir parçasına odaklanmaktadır.
Magarsus dizisinin sosyolojik analizi sonucunda, toplumsal olarak kurgulanan ve idealize edilen bir erkeklik formu olan hegemonik erkeklik tanımının, modernleşen dünyada güç kaybına uğradığı ve buna paralel olarak da erkeklik konumlarında değişimler yaşandığı saptanmıştır. Dizinin üç ana erkek karakterinden Halil Kurak, hegemonik erkekliği temsil ederken, ölümü sonrası iktidara geçecek olan Turgut Kurak ve Beton lakaplı Salim Halil Kurak’ın ataerkil düzendeki aile reisinin sahip olması gereken gücü ve otoriteyi bünyesinde taşımadıkları ve madun erkeklikleri temsil ettikleri görülmüştür.

Coffee is a plant that has benefits that can reduce stress when applied to aromatherapy candles. There are two most popular types of coffee: robusta coffee (Coffea canephora), which has a more intense taste and aroma, and arabica coffee (Coffea arabica), which has a lighter taste and aroma. This research aimed to compare the physical properties of robusta coffee (FR) and arabica coffee (FA) aromatherapy candle preparations. The formulation of aromatherapy candle preparations had a paraffin base (10%), stearin, and composition of coffee oil and coffee powder, 2% and 2.5% for formula 1 and 10% and 10% for formula 2. Organoleptically, the candle was solid, not cracked, and had the color brown to black. The aroma of formula 1 was weak, and the aroma of formula 2 was strong, typical of coffee aroma. The burning time for candles with an average weight of 8.52 grams for each group for formulas 1 and 2 FA was 11.45 minutes and 10.04 minutes, while FR was 11.57 minutes and 9.57 minutes. The melting point for aromatherapy candles was an average of 52–54 °C. This value meets the criteria for candle preparations based on SNI. A comparison of the formulas for aromatherapy candle preparations had a significant effect on the weight and burning time of aromatherapy candle preparations. Overall, the coffee candle aromatherapy meets the SNI criteria for candle preparations.

El objetivo de la presente investigación es determinar los factores que influyen en el embarazo adolescente en la comunidad de Valdivia. El estudio tiene un enfoque cuantitativo, descriptivo de corte transversal. La población objeto de la investigación fueron 76 mujeres adolescentes. Sin embargo, como sujeto del estudio se seleccionó a 35 adolescentes mujeres, mediante un muestreo por conveniencia, por el acceso y disponibilidad de los participantes en el estudio, aplicándose criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Entre los instrumentos aplicados están el consentimiento informado, la encuesta dirigida a las adolescentes. Entre los principales resultados obtenidos, relacionado con los factores que influyen en el embarazo adolescente, se destaca un perfil demográfico y educativo específico entre las adolescentes encuestadas. La mayoría, un significativo 69%, se encuentra en el rango de edad de 15 a 17 años, conforme a la definición de la Organización Mundial de la Salud sobre la adolescencia. Otro de los aspectos relevantes, es que un 42% reportó una relación familiar funcional y afectiva, mientras que un 11% enfrenta conflictos familiares. Se concluye que se debe incluir sesiones informativas en escuelas y comunidades para proporcionar información precisa y empoderar a las jóvenes en la toma de decisiones informadas sobre su salud sexual y reproductiva

Authors: Haqiqi Fhaisal , Astarika Rina , Nurdiyah
Published: May 2024

Ikan nila merupakan komoditas air tawar yang cukup banyak digemari oleh masyarakat Indonesia karena rasa dagingnya yang sangat lezat. Ikan ini memiliki kelebihan diantaranya : 1) cenderung kuat terhadap gangguan penyakit yang biasa dialami oleh jenis ikan air tawar lainnya, 2) memiliki toleransi terhadap kualitas air pada kisaran yang lebar.Beberapa factor penting yang mendasari penelitian ini adalah pembudidayaan ikan nila di Mamuju Tengah saat ini menjadi perhatian disebabkan 1) hasil produksinya masih sangat minim yaitu 82,19 ton per tahun 2022 lalu, 2) teknik pembudidayaannya kurang efisien : untuk mencapai usia panen, pemeliharaan ikan nila ini menghabiskan waktu tiga sampai empat bulan.

Rules governing the genetic code degeneracy/redundancy and spatial organization of the codon informative properties
Authors: Rapacioli Melina , Katz Ricardo , Flores Vladimir
Published: May 2024

The present study is devoted to describing the “logic” implicit in the standard genetic code. Bases are considered as physicochemical entities possessing two essential properties: molecular type and number of Hydrogen bonds involved (bases pairing) in the codon-anticodon specific interactions. It is proposed that the codon structure possesses a dual informative function: on the one hand, it determines its discriminating or non-discriminating character, and on the other hand, it determines a specific amino acid. These two aspects constitute the codon global information. Two different sets of rules are introduced to describe these different phenomena. It is established that, depending on the type of base occupying the second position, only two or three of the six codon properties located at defined positions determine the discriminating or non-discriminating behavior. With regard to the amino acid determining function of the codons for different sets of synonymous (singlets, doublets, triplets, quadruplets, or sextets), the number of informative properties integrating the codon and their typical positions characteristically change. Based on the rules presented here, it can be postulated that a codon can be defined as an asymmetric informative entity, whose global informative capacity results from the spatially organized combination of the six properties assigned by the three bases.

Objectives

The goal of this study was to explore the reliability and clinical value of fast, accurate automatic segmentation of the aortic root based on a deep learning tool compared with computed tomography angiography.

Methods

A deep learning tool for automatic 3-dimensional aortic root reconstruction, the CVPILOT system (TAVIMercy Data Technology Ltd., Nanjing, China), was trained and tested using computed tomography angiography scans collected from 183 patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement from January 2021 to December 2022. The quality of the reconstructed models was assessed using validation data sets and evaluated clinically by experts.

Results

The segmentation of the ascending aorta and the left ventricle attained Dice similarity coefficients (DSC) of 0.9806/0.9711 and 0.9603/0.9643 for the training and validation sets, respectively. The leaflets had a DSC of 0.8049/0.7931, and the calcification had a DSC of 0.8814/0.8630. After 6 months of application, the system modeling time was reduced to 19.83 s.

Conclusion

For patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, the CVPILOT system facilitates clinical workflow. The reliable evaluation quality of the platform indicates broad clinical application prospects in the future.
Spatial lipidomics maps brain alterations associated with mild traumatic brain injury

Published: May 2024

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global public health problem with 50–60 million incidents per year, most of which are considered mild (mTBI) and many of these repetitive (rmTBI). Despite their massive implications, the pathologies of mTBI and rmTBI are not fully understood, with a paucity of information on brain lipid dysregulation following mild injury event(s). To gain more insight on mTBI and rmTBI pathology, a non-targeted spatial lipidomics workflow utilizing high resolution mass spectrometry imaging was developed to map brain region-specific lipid alterations in rats following injury. Discriminant multivariate models were created for regions of interest including the hippocampus, cortex, and corpus callosum to pinpoint lipid species that differentiated between injured and sham animals. A multivariate model focused on the hippocampus region differentiated injured brain tissues with an area under the curve of 0.99 using only four lipid species. Lipid classes that were consistently discriminant included polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing phosphatidylcholines (PC), lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC), LPC-plasmalogens (LPC-P) and PC potassium adducts. Many of the polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing PC and LPC-P selected have never been previously reported as altered in mTBI. The observed lipid alterations indicate that neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are important pathologies that could serve to explain cognitive deficits associated with rmTBI. Therapeutics which target or attenuate these pathologies may be beneficial to limit persistent damage following a mild brain injury event.
Utilization of iron fillings solid waste for optimum biodiesel production

Published: May 2024

This study explores the innovative application of iron filings solid waste, a byproduct from mechanical workshops, as a heterogeneous catalyst in the production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil. Focusing on sustainability and waste valorization, the research presents a dual-benefit approach: addressing the environmental issue of solid waste disposal while contributing to the renewable energy sector. Particle size distribution analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Thermal analysis (TG-DTA), and FTIR analysis were used to characterize the iron filings. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to guide a series of experiments that were conducted to identify the optimum transesterification settings. Important factors that greatly affect the production of biodiesel are identified by the study, including catalyst loading, reaction time, methanol-to-oil ratio, reaction temperature, and stirring rate. The catalyst proved to be successful as evidenced by the 96.4% biodiesel conversion efficiency attained under ideal conditions. The iron filings catalyst’s reusability was evaluated, demonstrating its potential for numerous applications without noticeably decreasing activity. This work offers a road towards more environmentally friendly and sustainable chemical processes in energy production by making a strong argument for using industrial solid waste as a catalyst in the biodiesel manufacturing process.
Influences of bacterial extracellular vesicles on macrophage immune functions
Authors: Jiang Bowei , Huang Junyun
Published: May 2024

Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) are crucial mediators of information transfer between bacteria and host cells. Macrophages, as key effector cells in the innate immune system, have garnered widespread attention for their interactions with bacterial EVs. Increasing evidence indicates that bacterial EVs can be internalized by macrophages through multiple pathways, thereby influencing their immune functions. These functions include inflammatory responses, antimicrobial activity, antigen presentation, and programmed cell death. Therefore, this review summarizes current research on the interactions between bacterial EVs and macrophages. This will aid in the deeper understanding of immune modulation mediated by pathogenic microorganisms and provide a basis for developing novel antibacterial therapeutic strategies.
Online anti-immigrant discourse in Germany: ethnographically backed analysis of user comments
Authors: Nann Leah , Udupa Sahana , Wisiorek Axel
Published: May 2024

This article investigates discourse- and language-specific features of online anti-immigrant extreme speech in Germany. We analyze a context rich dataset collected and annotated through a collaborative effort involving fact-checkers, ethnographers and natural language processing (NLP) researchers. Using a bottom-up annotation scheme, we capture the nuances of the discourse and develop a typology of lexical innovations. The analysis combines thematic and critical discourse analysis with a linguistic perspective, revealing that direct forms of racism intertwine with argumentative forms of antagonism and playful word games within anti-immigrant discourses, in ways that center around narratives of victimhood and perceived threats from migrants. We further show how the specific conditions in Germany, including strict legal regulations of speech, have shaped the emergence of a non-standard language variety in and through anti-immigrant discourse, which helps the discourse community maintain group identity. The ethnographically backed analysis provides a granular understanding of the phenomenon of online extreme speech in the German context, contributing to the broader field of discourse studies and offering insights into the varieties within anti-immigrant discourse.
Speculative Black Feminist Epistemologies of Worldbuilding for XR
Authors: Hill Clareese
Published: May 2024

Speculative Black Feminist Epistemologies of Worldbuilding for XR is a methodology attempting to address space, the production of space, permission of space, the economy of space, and evading the confines of space by activating possible imaginaries in the development of XR (Extended Reality) environments. Through a praxis straddling academic and artist writing, the argument explores an experimental approach to Worldbuilding for XR by upending the role of Cartesian coordinates as the default measurement of 3D space. The possibilities afforded XR technologies allow for experimenting with unrestricted navigation of Black women’s cartographic movements, which is impossible in real-world geography. The core proposition of the Black Feminist Episteme of Worldbuilding is the praxis of de-mapping. This praxis foregrounds fugitive movements and spaces by utilizing XR Worldbuilding affordances as a speculative container for reimagining navigation for identities under conditions of subjugation. Researching and speculating about the affordances of XR is a critical intervention attempting to counter mainstream development and deployment of immersive media technology dedicated to the pedagogical tasks of gaming, militarization, and other real-world training applications. The first move toward the praxis of de-mapping, an arrival, is acknowledging the material composition and operation of XR technology. The second move and the first departure explore intentional disorientation. The third move interrupts the linearity of departures and arrivals to establish mobility as a counter-cartographic methodology by referencing the female protagonists in the study by Octavia E. Butler.
Slayers, rippers, and blitzes: dark humor and the justification of cruelty to possums in online media in New Zealand
Authors: Major Emily
Published: May 2024

The representation of “pest” animals in mass media can reflect wider societal attitudes about belonging, race, and purity. In New Zealand, the Australian brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) is portrayed as the nation’s top enemy. This project examined online news articles published in New Zealand between 2016 and 2023 to explore how possums were framed after the creation of the Predator Free 2050 “pest” eradication campaign that sought to eradicate all invasive rats, stoats, and possums. Through a process of qualitative thematic analysis, it was discovered that themes of militancy, economy, and desensitization of cruelty were paired with dark humor and extreme objectification of possums. This has created a culture of creaturely racism and speciesist xenophobia that presents cruelty as patriotism. A new media ethics that prioritizes an intersectional, anti-speciesist praxis is necessary to prevent the nation’s enculturation of vigilante slayers who are encouraged to kill those deemed to not belong.
