Analyzing Thailand’s Amendments to the Civil and Commercial Code on Marriage Equality: Progress, Shortcomings, and the Struggle for LGBTIQAN+ Rights to Family Establishment
Authors: Chaiyajit Nada
Published: July 2024

Thailand’s proposed amendment of the Civil and Commercial Code (“CCC”) on marriage equality, recently passed by the lower house of Parliament on 27 March 2024, marks a historic milestone and represents a significant step towards recognizing the rights of Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Intersex Queer Asexual and Non-Binary+ (LGBTIQAN+) individuals to establish families. This commentary article critically examines the draft legislation through the lens of international human rights law and domestic constitutional principles of equality and human dignity. Situating the Act within Thailand’s international obligations, the article traces the legislative history and highlights the progressive vision of the Civil Society Draft, which developed from the thesis-based research of Chawinroj Teerapatcharaporn, School of Law, Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU). It commends the shift towards gender-neutral language in marriage eligibility while critiquing the retention of binary “father/mother” terminology as falling short of genuine inclusivity. Drawing from parliamentary debates, the commentary engages with objections raised by religious party MPs, countering them by reasserting the primacy of constitutional equality and secular human rights principles over religious precepts in civil law matters. The article concludes by assessing the Act’s potential impact and the ongoing struggle for fully realizing LGBTIQAN+ family rights, calling for further reform that embraces gender neutrality and equality regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC).

Authors: Erina Erina ,   Faculty of Information Technology and Robotics, Vitebsk State Technological University, Belarus
Published: July 2024

Images may be protected from hackers and attackers with the use of steganography. The rapid expansion of the internet has led to the widespread distribution of vast quantities of multimedia content, including photos, movies, and audio files, via various online platforms. To ensure the safety of sensitive information while it is in transit and upon receipt, a high degree of security is required. During the patient scanning procedure, hospitals and scan centers save many pictures of patients on personal computers. Protection from strangers who may see the patients' scanned photos would be necessary for this. Therefore, scan centers and hospitals all over the globe rely heavily on medical image security. The proposed technique includes Fuzzy Logic-Based Key Exchange Protocol in Medical Image Cryptographic Protection Scheme. To provide the utmost protection for the medical pictures, the cover image incorporates the secret image. At the outset, we standardize the cover and hidden photos. The cover image for this thesis might be a picture of nature or a benchmark; the hidden image, on the other hand, is a medical image in grayscale or binary format. After that, the normalized picture is processed using DWT. The hidden picture is embedded into the cover image using a fuzzy-based edge-related steganography approach, which uses these altered coefficients. To get the stego image, the embedded picture is normalized in the reverse direction. Additionally, this study suggests DT-CWT transform based picture security. Part one of the suggested approach to picture security is image steganography, and part two is picture cryptography. Module 1 uses the DT-CWT transform to fuse the coefficients of the cover picture with the hidden image. After that, the steganography picture is subjected to module 2, which is based on the IE calculation. Analysis of experimental data for the suggested picture security approach revealed improved outcomes for encrypted communication.

Published: July 2024

The Silk Road has long attracted researchers from various fields, sparking their interest in ancient cities and the ancient route that connected civilizations. However, the role of horses and grass in the development of the Silk Road has been relatively understudied. This essay presents a novel perspective, revealing the significance of horses and grass in shaping the growth of nomadic cultures and their profound impact on the formation and development of cities along the Silk Road. Through an examination of Persepolis and Samarkand, this paper analyzes the intricate relationship between horses, grass, and the Silk Road. As a means of transportation, horses' agility and endurance allowed merchants and travelers to traverse vast distances, connecting civilizations and promoting economic and cultural exchanges. The abundant grasslands along the Silk Road corridor shaped the way of life and livelihood of nomadic tribes, providing sustenance for their horses. Nomadic tribes acted as intermediaries, facilitating trade between settled civilizations. This facilitated the establishment of trade routes and the emergence of prosperous urban centers. Therefore, the symbiotic relationship between horses, grass, and nomadic tribes played a crucial role in the development and prosperity of the Silk Road.

Authors: Qiu Zihan
Published: July 2024

Over the past three decades, China has made remarkable strides in economic development, transitioning from a low-income status to a middle-income nation. However, China currently faces challenges transitioning from a middle-income to a high-income country. Similarly, Japan was facing the same problem as China during the 1960s. With several successful economic policies, Japan witnessed significant economic convergence since the 1980s. The process comprises transitioning from a low-income country to a middle-income country, followed by advancement to a high-income country.Unlike many developed nations that began from a relatively advanced base, Japan initiated its journey from a less developed position, making it a particularly instructive model for other developing nations. Therefore, could China potentially adopt Japan's successful policies to navigate this transition? This paper will discuss how China might glean insights from countries, with a particular emphasis on Japan, to overcome the challenges of the middle-income trap.

Legality and Legitimacy of Humanitarian Intervention
Authors: Zhang Yixin
Published: July 2024

"Humanitarian intervention" has been a controversial topic in the international community. Some scholars believe that humanitarian intervention has legitimacy, as it can avoid extreme situations such as large-scale genocide, and can protect human rights and save lives. However, there are other scholars who have expressed some disagreement with them and question humanitarian intervention. They believe that the essence of humanitarian intervention is hegemonism, especially in the Kosovo and Iraq incidents, which use humanitarian intervention as an excuse for war. Although the United Nations has relevant regulations on humanitarian intervention, the binding force for superpowers is relatively lacking. In this condition, this article explores humanitarian intervention by consulting relevant literature and combining humanitarian intervention events, and analyzes the complexity of humanitarian intervention in the international community.

In recent years, the eastern part of China has seen a high incidence of loan lending crimes and there was an explosive growth after 2017. Most of the loan crimes in the "trap" means for the victim is aware of, so does not constitute the crime of fraud. The use of false water vouchers by the perpetrator of false lawsuits can constitute triangular fraud. The perpetrator randomly identified default cases can constitute ordinary fraud. Due to the loan crime "trap set" part can not become the basis for the perpetrator to claim debts, so most of the loan crime can not constitute illegal debt collection crime but extortion, in some cases, the two crimes can be trap set to be coincidence. When it coming to fraud and coercion dual nature means of debt collection cases, the selection of specific crime could be based on the nature of the main behavior and the victim to deliver the property psychology.
An Analysis of the Different Consequences about the 1789 French Revolution and 1911 Chinese Revolution by Comparing Their Leaving Ideological Legacy
Authors: Huang Yicheng , Wen Haifan , Chen Xingyu
Published: July 2024

This paper investigates the cause of two revolutions, the French Revolution in 1789 and the Chinese Revolution in 1911. The paper analyzes the two revolutions through four perspectives: structural, actor, micro, and macro. From these perspectives, the paper compares and contrasts the two revolutions to reach the final conclusion about why the French Revolution succeeded at leaving an ideological legacy; for example, ideas from the Enlightenment influenced the French people and later led to the 1848 Revolution. Meanwhile, the Chinese Revolution of 1911 failed to establish a government influenced by liberal ideas, and the emperor was reinstated under the Yuanshikai Restoration. The remnants of the feudal society still existed until the Chinese Revolution in 1949.
Reasons for Barries in Family-School Cooperation
Authors: Li Jiajia
Published: July 2024

The concept of family-school cooperation was proposed very early, and its importance has always been emphasized. However, due to the excessive acceleration of the life cycle and the extension of working hours, families have unilaterally delegated the responsibility for children's education to schools. This negative situation for student growth needs to be reversed. Families must realize that the role of the school is to complement the work initiated by the family, not to replace it. Schools also need to realize that without the cooperation of families, school functions and outcomes will be limited. However, awareness is not enough, it is necessary to know the causes of this phenomenon. Therefore, this paper conducted a systematic review of previously published research on the causes of barriers to family-school cooperation. Based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory and Epstein's overlapping spheres of influence theory, the reasons for obstacles in family-school cooperation will be analyzed from different perspectives

Published: July 2024

This study explores the impact of two educational models, Banking Education and Problem-Posing Education, within the context of virtual classrooms. Rooted in the constructivist learning theory, which posits learning as an active, meaning-making process, the research aims to compare their effects on student engagement, proactiveness, responsibility, and learning outcomes. Theoretical analysis and practical implementation of these models were conducted in a participatory action research design, spanning three stages: theoretical analysis, implementation, and reflection and evaluation. Data was collected through eight weeks of virtual field notes, categorizing activities under banking or problem-posing education. Results suggest that the Problem-Posing model, in the virtual education realm, led to tangible improvements in student engagement and performance. Students exhibited greater autonomy, active participation, and collaborative problem-solving. This aligns with constructivist principles, emphasizing the social construction of knowledge. In contrast, the Banking model yielded a less positive response, marked by student reticence and disinterest. The findings contribute to understanding pedagogical practices in the digital age, emphasizing the practical application of constructivist principles in teaching.

A Literature Review on the Formation of Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Behaviors of the Family as the Influence Factor
Authors: Guan Yang
Published: July 2024

This literature review examines the behaviors of the family and how they are likely to lead to the formation of Narcissistic Personality disorder (NPD). While the disorder is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors, it is also evidently clear that some family dynamics play a role in the development of this disorder. Thus, to prevent or reduce the development of this personality disorder, it is necessary to look at the families and develop necessary interventions that may make families more suitable for the overall well-being of children. The review of the literature resulted in diverse findings. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) was found to be predicted by complex interactions between environmental, genetic, and psychological factors. NPD was related to the overvaluation of children by their children, leading to the development of an increased sense of worthiness. Inadequate or lack of boundaries in some families was found to influence childrens growth, causing the potential development of narcissistic behaviors and a sense of entitlement. Other significant factors that were found to impact the development of NPD are emotional neglect, demand for perfectionism, parental favoritism, unhealthy competition, and lack of empathy. These findings indicate that various and complex factors predict the development of NPD.
Mindfulness-Based Education: Exploring Cultural and Age-Related Perspectives Through Course Design
Authors: Shi Xiaofan
Published: July 2024

This study delves into the complexities of designing and implementing mindfulness education tailored to children and adolescents. Using basic theories of cognitive development such as Piaget's stages and Vygotsky's socio-cultural theories, the mindfulness classroom was designed to accommodate age-specific cognitive abilities and resulted in a curriculum design model that can be flexibly utilized to develop self-regulation skills and relate to activities that are critical in childhood, with the theory of mindfulness, present-focused activities, meditation activities, and perceptual activities that can be utilized as habits in real life. Through a combination of theoretical present-focused activities, meditation-related activities, perception-related activities, and activities that can be utilized in real life as habits, students develop self-regulation skills that are consistent with the cognitive flexibility that is essential in development. Sensory-related activities reinforce the integration of mindfulness into daily life. Working together to ensure accessibility in low socioeconomic status environments promotes inclusivity classroom, the study took place in a collective Chinese culture, but consideration of individualistic culture is also essential, and curricula tailored to the socio-emotional challenges of different ages need to be continually refined. Future research should explore cultural adaptation and expand the diversity of participants for a more inclusive understanding. In conclusion, this study advocates for mindfulness curricula to be synchronized with cognitive development, emphasizing that curricula should be designed with age-appropriate content, meditative practices, and real-life connections and adapted to different cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic backgrounds, and student populations with special needs.
A New Model of Distance EducationTake Advantage of Constructivism and Montessori Education Concepts
Authors: Shi Zhaoyangyang
Published: July 2024

After experiencing the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic, we realize that distance education has become a necessary requirement based on the increasingly advanced technology. Even though distance education has many advantages, it still has some limitations, such as the equipment lack or students self-control and so on. Such an important approach of education has been practiced in many places, but the existing problems have still not been solved. However, the educational concepts of constructivism and Montessori may be able to fill this gap. Although there is no special research on using the two theories into distance education, according to the analysis, the benefits of the two theories are indeed perfectly combined with distance education like Lego bricks.
Potential regulatory mechanisms for NKCC1 and KCC2 that induce temporal lobe epilepsy
Authors: Li Zuowei
Published: July 2024

The specific cause for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy at a molecular level has remained unknown for decades. Much research has proposed possible mechanisms that would induce mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. In this article, we briefly summarize some of the present theories on the cause of this disease and then introduce our theory on NKCC1 upregulation in hippocampal pyramidal cells as a potential cause of epilepsy. We specifically discussed the WNK pathway that regulates NKCC1 and KCC2 as a potential cause of epilepsy and explored another possible mechanism that overrides WNK and would potentially induce mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. Eventually, we discussed future expectations on medication according to our theory.
GLP-1 analogue semaglutide regulates pancreatic beta-cell proliferation via PDX-1 expression control
Authors: Ming Liang , Sun JiaHui , Chu XiangChen , Wang ChenXi
Published: July 2024

Semaglutide as an agonist of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor was shown to potentiate insulin release and suppress food motivation targeting pancreatic islet beta cells and brain region including subfornical organ and hypothalamus, which effectively treats type 2 diabetes and obesity. The investigation of prolonged response with semaglutide on beta cells triggering proliferation and apoptotic resistance is yet to be confirmed. Previous research findings have shown that glucagon-like peptide-1 and liraglutide as agonists for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors on beta cells result in proliferation through upregulation of PDX-1 transcription factor. Semaglutide is investigated to show whether long-term beta cell survival regulation is achieved through the same downstream signalling pathways. Both in vivo and in vitro methods were designed to show the proliferation effect of the semaglutide in C57BL/6 mice using tissue imaging, cell counting and immunosorbent assay for quantitative analysis of PDX-1 expression. The proliferation effect would broaden the application of semaglutide from insulin augmentation to the sustained benefit of beta cell survival.
Caprylic acid promotes synaptic plasticity potentially through enhancing Leptin/NM2B signaling
Authors: Ming Shibei
Published: July 2024

Synaptic plasticity is crucial for memory formation and can be impaired in metabolic diseases. Insulin and insulin-like growth factors play important roles in synaptic plasticity, while leptin protects neurons and stimulates growth. Diets can affect synaptic plasticity through macronutrients and appetite signals, highlighting the need for deeper research and interventions for synaptic dysfunction in metabolic diseases. Recent research suggests that while saturated fatty acids (SFA) have been viewed as unhealthy for cognition, they may benefit memory and learning in certain conditions. High levels of SFA were found to improve recollection in young people. In specific, low-level intake of caprylic acid may reduce neuroinflammation and protect against neural degeneration. This anti-neuroinflammatory effect of caprylic acid may be mediated through the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, which is a crucial part in the modulation of synaptic plasticity by leptin/NM2B signaling. Therefore, this work hypothesized that caprylic acid can enhance leptin/NM2B signaling pathway by increasing the expression of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. In this proposal, a 12-week mice experiment is proposed with fEPSP measurements, immunoblotting, and immunoprecipitation to test the long-term potentiation (LTP) and the expression level as well as regions of the signaling molecules. This work may offer another perspective on the complex role of SFA in brain health.
Comparing Doxycycline and Azithromycin in treating cholera
Authors: Wang Yilin
Published: July 2024

Cholera is a famous bacterial infection that was found in the Indian Ganges Delata during the 19th century. People who were infected suffered a lot from the symptoms like diarrhea and dehydration, which impacted peoples living standards. Doxycycline and Azithromycin are the most common drug treatments used for cholera patients. Doxycycline can inhibit the synthesis of bacterial protein by combining with the 30s ribosome and shorten the duration of this disease. Doxycycline is used over a wide range of age groups. Azithromycin can combine with the 50s ribosome to inhibit the synthesis of protein. However, using antibiotics over the given time period will cause the bacteria to grow resistant to them. This essay will discuss the two antibiotics that are used nowadays for Cholera treatment.

Authors: He Xinyi , Zhang Yihang , Yuan Siwei , Mao Mengyang
Published: July 2024

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a group of alkaline poly-peptide compounds that have antibacterial activity and are produced by insects. This research examines three key aspects of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs): their mechanism of action, categorization, and designation. Antimicrobial peptides have a wide range of antimicrobial action, with a significant number of them being naturally occurring peptides. Consequently, they are increasingly being recognized as promising candidates for therapeutic applications. Antimicrobial peptides can be categorized into many categories based on their structural characteristics and origin. The field of computer-assisted peptide design integrates computer-aided design technology with the process of drug creation, so leveraging its inherent benefits and offering a rational and efficient theoretical framework for the design of peptides. The identification of novel classes of antibiotics is a promising approach for addressing the issue of antibiotic resistance. Antimicrobial peptides possess significant potential for application within the pharmaceutical sector due to their notable antibacterial efficacy, extensive range of antibacterial activity, diverse structural characteristics, and extensive array of options. Moreover, these peptides have a reduced likelihood of inducing resistance mutations in target strains. Currently, a number of poly-peptide antibiotics are being subjected to preclinical feasibility investigations. One of these antibiotics, magainins, has progressed to the phase III clinical trial stage.

Sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface salinity (SSS) are crucial parameters in oceanographic research and have important implications for understanding the Earths climate system, ecosystems, and global change. This paper will ascertain SSS and SST in the North Atlantic Ocean. Besides, K-means clustering was utilized to separate the data into several clusters once the data were installed in Matlab. According to the research results, the temperature dropped from the equator to the high northern latitudes. In contrast, salinity showed an initial increase and then a following reduction in trend. Despite rising temperatures and salinity, the region distribution of high SST and high SSS throughout the year remained mostly stable, but the area became larger. One of the regions with high salinity in North Africa has a strong connection to that is adjacent to the Mediterranean. The Earths climate system includes essential elements, including SST and SSS, which are essential to the development and control of the climate. Its better to comprehend seasonal changes in climate patterns and long-term climate trends by investigating temperature and salinity.

Published: July 2024

This paper aims to introduce some basic knowledge of parasitic capacitors and how to reduce the impact of parasitic capacitors in theory and in practice. In the production and processing and daily life, people will be more or less to the use of capacitors. The main function of a capacitor is to store electrical energy when it is connected to its charging circuit. When disconnected from the charging circuit, it can consume stored energy, so it can be used like a temporary battery. However, not all capacitors are good for people, such as parasitic capacitors. Parasitic capacitor is an unavoidable and usually unnecessary capacitor that exists between electronic component or parts of a circuit simply because they are close to each other. Therefore, parasitic capacitance is an important problem in high-frequency circuits and is often a limiting factor in the frequency and bandwidth of electronic component and circuits. However, complete elimination of parasitic capacitors is not possible, only through a number of methods to reduce.

The full name of MTO is methanol to olefin, which is a new chemical reaction process to gain an important chemistry industry raw material. In this paper, we mainly talk about several general reaction process as well as the mechanism of the reaction. The use of molecular sieve catalytic process is a key point where the new MTO process different form the original simple petroleum cracking in order to again olefin. In this work we mainly discuss how the MTO process could happen with the assist of the molecular sieve catalyst. There are direct mechanism Carbene mechanism and Methane-formaldehyde mechanism. The effect of the direct mechanism is to gain some simple and short Carbon-Carbon product. And then the indirect mechanism will take on to control the rate of the reacting process and the ration of different products. By studying on the mechanism of the MTO reaction, we can figure out how a powerful catalyst, molecular sieve catalyst, works in the reaction. Also, the MTO process is a meaningful way to take place of the origin cracking process to gain olefin, as the storage of petroleum is decreasing fast recently.

Published: July 2024

The severe environmental pollution caused by fossil fuels has driven the demand for new energy vehicles. The choice of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries is a major difficulty to be overcome in the development of new energy vehicles. Based on the performance characteristics of new energy vehicle batteries in actual use, this paper classifies the six most widely used cathode electrode materials in the new energy vehicle market. Firstly, the temperature data of power batteries with different cathode materials in the overcharge experiment and acupuncture experiment were collected to characterize the safety performance of power batteries. Then the maximum specific discharge capacity and operating voltage data of the battery were collected, and the maximum specific discharge energy of the battery was calculated to study the dynamic performance of the vehicle. After that, the safety performance and dynamic performance of each index is compared. Finally, according to the safety performance and dynamic performance of the corresponding power battery, the six cathode materials are divided into three types: power type, safety type, and balanced type. According to the classification results, it can be concluded that the design of balanced cathode materials with both safety and dynamic performance is the best development route for future new energy vehicle batteries.
