Authors: Maulidya Al Dina
Published: January 2025

Tulisan ini memiliki tujuan untuk mendeskripsikan ancaman perdamaian di Venezuela, yang terjadi pada masa pemerintahan Nicolas Maduro. Urgensi dari penelitian ini ialah, adanya kemerosotan demokrasi yang terjadi di Venezuela pasca sepeninggalan Chavez. Maduro merupakan presiden yang terpilih untuk menggantikan Chavez di tahun 2013. Ketidakstabilan politik dan ekonomi serta kemerosotan demokrasi memungkinkan adanya ancaman perdamaian di Venezuela. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif-kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data menggunakan studi kepustakan. Kantian Triangle yang merupakan bagian dari democratic peace theory milik Immanuel Kant, akan menjadi alat analisis dalam penelitian ini. Dalam Kantian Triangle ditetapkan tiga faktor untuk dapat mencapai perdamaian, yakni: (1) sistem pemerintahan demokrasi, (2) adanya ketergantungan antar negara, dan (3) keterlibatan negara di dalam institusi internasional. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan jika Venezuela tidak mampu memenuhi tiga faktor yang ada. Pertama, telah terkikisnya nilai-nilai demokrasi di negara tersebut. Kedua, ketergantungan dengan negara lain sulit terwujud. Hal ini dikarenakan kebijakan Maduro yang merugikan para investor dan banyaknya isu kemanusian di Venezuela. Image pemerintahan Maduro yang buruk menyulitkan terjalinnya hubungan baik dengan negara lain. Ketiga, meskipun aktif di PBB, tetapi Venezuela terus melakukan pelanggaran peraturan dan prinsip-prinsip dari organisasi tersebut. Tidak terpenuhinya tiga faktor di dalam Kantian Triangle dapat memberikan ancaman perdamaian di Venezuela.
Kata Kunci: Ancaman Perdamaian, Kemerosotan Demokrasi, Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela.

Authors: Dukku Hauwa Bappah , Arnaut Javier , Johnstone Cameron , Riccardi Annalisa , Sanchez Stephanie Ordonez
Published: January 2025

Greenland's abundant renewable energy resources position it as a potential producer of green hydrogen, a promising energy carrier for global decarbonization efforts. This research aims to evaluate the economic feasibility of hydrogen transportation in Greenland, focusing on compressed gas via pipelines and liquefied hydrogen via maritime routes. The study employs a comprehensive methodology that includes economic analysis of production, liquefaction, and transportation costs. This approach integrates a wide range of methods available in the literature and considers various components of the hydrogen supply chain, going beyond the typical focus on transportation strategies alone. Results indicate that pipelines are more cost-effective for shorter distances (<1,500 km) and higher demand, whereas shipping is better suited for longer distances and larger volumes. A case study of transporting hydrogen from Paamuit to Nuuk revealed that for a production capacity of 40 t/d, the cost of pipeline transport was 1.3 USD/kg, whereas for shipping it was 2.7 USD/kg. These findings contribute significantly to the development of a hydrogen economy and highlight Greenland's potential as a competitive player in the global green hydrogen market. The research provides valuable insights for decision-makers in planning efficient and economical hydrogen transportation strategies.

Published: January 2025

The unrestricted use of the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos in agriculture causes environmental pollution and poses a major threat to the world population. In the present study, bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of the chili plant. The bacterial strains have plant growth promoting traits. Among the bacterial strains, eight strains produced ammonia, seven bacteria fixed N2, nine bacteria produced indole-3-acetic acid, and seven bacteria produced siderophore. The bacterial strains produced laccase, lignin peroxidase, dechlorinase, and manganese peroxidase. The isolated bacterial strains, K02, and L4, were grown in a culture medium containing chlorpyrifos and significantly degraded chlorpyrifos. Based on morphology, biochemicals, and 16S rDNA sequencing, these strains were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa K02 and Bacillus cereus L4. Chlorpyrifos degradation was performed by co-cultivation of P. aeruginosa and B. cereus. These two bacterial strains were incubated for 72 h at various concentrations, pH values between pH 7.0 and 8.0, and various inoculum concentrations. The selected consortia degraded 98.2±1.1% chlorpyrifos after optimized culture conditions.

Introduction. A current problem is the increase in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) due to the growing prevalence of CVD risk factors, the intense pace of life, and the increasing proportion of the elderly population. Studies conducted in Russia, Western Europe, and the United States have shown that, despite the widespread introduction of fairly effective means of treating chronic heart failure in medical practice, the mortality rate of patients within a year in this population remains high. Based on the above, the author M.A. Agzamova isolated a triterpene compound, Cycloseversioside F, from the plant Astragalus pterocephalus, which has a potential cardiotonic effect. Objective: was to study the cardiotonic activity of the triterpene compound Cycloseversioside F from the plant Astragalus pterocephalus. Material and methods. The study of cardiotonic activity was carried out on a model of chronic heart failure caused by the introduction of mesaton, followed by dynamic physical exercise. The reference drug with a metabolite effect, «Meldonium» capsules 500 mg, was chosen as a reference drug. Results. The results of the study showed that the test preparation has reliable cardiotonic activity, which is manifested in the normalization of the heart weight coefficient, in the normalization of biochemical parameters of blood serum (lactodehydrogenase, creatine kinase MB and sodium). At the same time, a comparative study of the cardiotonic activity of the test preparation with the reference cardiac metabolite showed that the test preparation is not inferior to the reference drug in cardiotonic activity, and in some cases even surpasses it. The most effective dose was also found – 1000 mg/kg, and the obtained data on such effective doses as ED30 400 mg/kg, ED50 445 mg/kg and ED100 1000 mg/kg, can serve as a basis for calculating starting and subsequent doses for clinical studies. Conclusion. The studied triterpene series compound cyclosiversioside F from the plant Astragalus pterocephalus has reliable cardiotonic activity, which is not inferior to the reference drug, and in some cases superior.

Forbidden Attraction: Ottoman Armenians and the Turkish Language in the Age of Nationalism
Authors: Manoukian Jennifer
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT: This article begins the work of excavating the varied attitudes toward Turkish that existed among Ottoman Armenians in the nineteenth century. It seeks to correct a fundamental misunderstanding about the relationship between Ottoman Armenians and the Turkish language, to reframe Ottoman Armenians as agents in their use of Turkish, and to expose Turkish as something far more than a "language of the oppressor" for many Armenians in the empire. The article begins by offering an overview of Ottoman Armenian Turcophonia. It continues by examining three language attitudes that led bilingual Ottoman Armenian men in Istanbul to choose Turkish over Armenian in certain social contexts. These include the perception that (1) Turkish was the language of public life and prosperity; (2) that Turkish was the language of power, prestige and urban masculinity; and (3) that Turkish was a more fully developed and expressive language than Armenian. I argue that these attitudes sustained a preference for Turkish over Armenian, even as intellectuals were actively cultivating the Armenian language as an essential component of Armenian identity in the second half of the nineteenth century. Historiographically, this article takes discussions of the use of Turkish among Ottoman Armenians into the unexplored realm of the spoken and advocates for using approaches from the field of historical sociolinguistics to study social dynamics within Ottoman language communities.

Burke y los orígenes de la estética moderna
Authors: Ruiz Polanco Víctor
Published: January 2025

En “Burke y los orígenes de la estética moderna”, Carlota Fernández-Jáuregui despliega, a partir del examen de Burke y su Indagación filosófica sobre el origen de nuestras ideas acerca de lo sublime y de lo bello, una amplia reflexión teórica que comprende tres disciplinas: retórica, estética y política. Situando como centro de su trabajo la base afectiva que las tres comparten, la investigadora aborda la importancia fundamental de lo sublime en la literatura y el pensamiento modernos, si bien al tiempo problematiza dicha presunta modernidad, apuntando a los fundamentos afectivos que ya se encontraban en la antigua retórica. Tras un primer capítulo que se dedica a la genealogía ya descrita, la autora estudia en el segundo el concepto de gusto y explica el carácter político que esta noción adquiere en Burke, poniéndolo a su vez en relación con los análisis económicos de Marx. Por último, Fernández-Jáuregui dedica el capítulo final a estudiar la “retórica temporal” de lo sublime, notando cómo esta temporalidad intrínseca al concepto, además de explicar sus mutaciones a lo largo de la historia, condiciona su particular relación con el lenguaje y la literatura.
Corporate Culture’s Effect on Corporate Sustainability: Exploring the Mediating Effect of Innovation Capability in Foreign Companies Operating in Ghana
Authors: Osei Francis , Wilson-Wünsch Beverley , Kankam-Kwarteng Collins , Owusu Alfred
Published: January 2025

The issue of sustainable development poses a significant challenge for foreign enterprises, especially in volatile markets such as Ghana, where these firms face unique obstacles in aligning their corporate culture with sustainability goals. Drawing upon the literature on sustainable corporate development and adopting the resource-based view, this research addresses a gap in understanding how corporate flexibility and control culture influence corporate sustainable performance through the stimulation of innovation capabilities, specifically within the context of foreign enterprises. Data were collected from 152 foreign companies operating in Ghana, and Structural Equation Modeling was conducted using Smart PLS version 3.0 and SPSS version 24. The questionnaire was based on the existing literature. The findings of this study indicate that both flexibility and control cultures have a significant influence on innovative capability, yet they do not directly affect corporate sustainable performance. The research reveals that innovation capability acts as a complete mediator between flexibility and control culture and sustainable corporate performance. This research contributes to the theoretical literature on sustainable corporate performance and offers valuable managerial insights for foreign firms in Ghana, guiding them on how to navigate and achieve sustainable growth through strategic corporate culture.
Relationship between Nano-Entrepreneurship and Employees’ Work-Life Balance in a Local Government Unit in the Philippines
Authors: Cunanan Eric John R , Santos Christian L Delos , Esguerra Jaycee B , Briones Jesus P , Abante Marmelo V
Published: January 2025

The impact of nano-entrepreneurship on work-life balance differs based on the demands of the dual roles of employees in their entrepreneurship and office employment activities. This study assessed nano-entrepreneurship engagement and employees’ work-life balance in a Local Government Unit (LGU) in the Philippines. The study employed a descriptive-quantitative research design using a researcher-structured questionnaire to collect data from 110 nano-entrepreneurship employees of the subject LGU. Data analyses included frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and regression analyses. This study provides empirical evidence that nano-entrepreneurship engagement of employees in the subject LGU is adequate and manageable in terms of balancing work, personal, and professional activities. Moreover, the work-life balance of nano-entrepreneur employees considering the duality of their roles was found to be acceptable and satisfying; however, it has no significant relationship with nano-entrepreneur engagement. The study also disclosed that although employees believe in the advantages of nano-entrepreneurship, they face certain challenges that may not allow them to pursue such opportunities efficiently. Finally, strategies fostering a supportive culture that encourages psychological safety and autonomy were proposed by the researchers to enhance the well-being and productivity of nano-entrepreneur employees while balancing government responsibilities with their entrepreneurial ventures. This study is essential for an organization, whether public or private, in fostering a supportive culture that enhances employees’ financial stability, job satisfaction, and work-life balance through entrepreneurship.

Instruments designed to capture variation in one population, underestimate relative variation in others
Authors: Zefferman Matthew
Published: January 2025

An underexplored aspect of the construction of psychological instruments is what happens when an instrument is designed to measure psychological constructs in one population and then used to measure similarities and differences between those populations. In this paper, I show that, using typical instrument construction procedures, designing a test for one population overestimates the relative variability in the psychological construct compared to other populations. I apply this concept to better understand differences in the measured variation between groups in the construction and application of intelligence tests for US military soldiers in World War I and children in 1930s Scottland.

The most commonly used terminologies for these interventions are discussed, as well as mechanisms of cellular communication, morphogenetic processes, ultraweak photon emissions (UPEs), application in tissue regeneration, chronic disease management, and treatment of mental health disorders. Finally, evidence is presented on how recent advances position these therapies as effective noninvasive alternatives and as catalysts for new biophysical paradigms in clinical practice.

Sleep research heavily relies on Polysomnography (PSG) recordings to assess sleep architecture. While effective, this method is time-consuming and requires substantial resources and labor. Modern wearable devices provide a promising alternative for sleep monitoring as they are easy to wear and maintain. However, these devices are constrained by a limited number of channels and comparatively lower data quality, which often leads to unreliable outcomes derived from partial readings. To address this, we propose using multiple wearable devices and combining their outputs to acquire reliable sleep data. However, the feasibility of this approach must be rigorously tested before being relied upon to supplant PSG in scientific studies. To facilitate this, we have curated a dataset with concurrent full PSG and wearable device recordings of overnight sleep sessions. This dataset, named Wearanize+, includes data from 130 participants (one night each) using three different wearable devices: Zmax headband, Empatica E4 wristband, and ActivPAL leg patch, alongside full-scale PSG recorded with SomnoScreen Plus and Mentalab Explore Pro. It also includes questionnaires, such as PSQI, MADRE, and PHQ-9, providing information on participants’ sleep, dreams, and overall health. This paper documents the setup, data collection, and data preprocessing steps of the Wearanize+ project, serving as a guide for using the resultant dataset. Our objectives with the dataset include developing machine learning models that can derive PSG-grade sleep stages from wearable devices’ data and exploring alternative data modalities for sleep scoring, especially when EEG signals are excessively noisy. Given its potential to support the testing of a wide range of hypotheses, we have made the dataset openly available to the research community.
Causal Forest and Doubly Robust Machine Learning for Political Science

Machine learning (ML) methods in general and tree-based methods in particular are on the rise in the social sciences. While ML is widely valued for predictive accuracy, new causally-oriented machine learning methods actually leverage this power for statistical inference and treatment effect estimation. In this article, we synthesize this causal ML literature into a new paradigm we coin "Doubly Robust Machine Learning," or DRML. Our conceptual framework makes clear the benefits of these new methods, like causal forest, and explains how researchers can fruitfully employ these approaches to improve on the power, precision, and coverage of standard estimators. We demonstrate these benefits for average and conditional effect estimation through a massive array of over one million Monte Carlo simulations spanning a wide range of possible research settings. Taken together, our results provide the conceptual and empirical basis for the use of DRML in social science applications.

This meta-narrative review elucidates the heterogeneity in defining and evaluating adaptability through complex systems approaches in aging and chronic diseases, highlighting a gap between theoretical constructs and empirical evidence. Analyzing 248 studies, we discern that adaptability's link to health outcomes, particularly in aging and chronic conditions, remains largely theoretical with limited direct evidence. Our findings stress the urgent need for standardizing adaptability definitions, refining measurement tools, and generating data on integrated approaches to foster a comprehensive health paradigm centered on adaptability. This work underpins the evolution of a new health concept, urging for a unified framework to navigate the complexity of adaptability in translational medicine.

Open Science (OS) increases the quality, efficiency, and impact of science. This has been widely recognised by scholars, funders, and policy makers. However, despite the increasing availability of infrastructure supporting OS and the rise in policies and incentives to change behavior, OS practices are not yet the norm. While pioneering researchers are developing and embracing OS practices, the majority sticks to the status quo. To transition from pioneering to common practice, we need to engage a critical proportion of the academic community. In this transition, Open Science Communities (OSCs) play a key role. OSCs are bottom-up learning groups of scholars that discuss OS practices, within and across disciplines. They make OS knowledge and know-how more visible and accessible, and facilitate communication among scholars and policy makers. By the same token, community members shape the transition to OS such that it is most beneficial for researchers, science, and society. Over the past two years, eleven OSCs were founded at several Dutch university cities, with approximately 700 members in total (at the time of writing). In other countries, similar OSCs are starting up. In this paper, we discuss the pivotal role OSCs play in the large-scale transition to OS and provide practical information on how to start a local OSC. We emphasize that, despite the grassroot character of OSCs, support from universities is critical for OSCs to be viable, effective, and sustainable.

Media literacy and well-being are interconnected topics that have garnered increasing attention in recent years due to the proliferation of media platforms and the influence they can exert on individuals' mental health and overall well-being. Media literacy is a lifelong educational process, defined as the ability to critically access, analyse, evaluate, create, and contribute to media. It is especially important for children and adolescents who are more susceptible to negative media influences. Well-being encompasses both feeling good and functioning effectively, and is associated with numerous benefits including increased productivity and creativity, and better relationships, health and life expectancy. Guided by the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement, this systematic review and meta-analysis examined the associations between media literacy and well-being. The search identified 15 studies involving 47 effect sizes across a variety of dimensions of media literacy. Together, the studies had 16,632 participants and 51.8% comprised school-aged populations. The analysis revealed a statistically significant, small to medium, positive association between media literacy and well-being (r = 0.19, 95% CI [0.01, 0.35]). The ‘Media Literacy Dimension’ significantly moderated the pooled effect. A medium-sized positive association between media literacy and well-being was observed when the media literacy measure was solely focussed on analysing/evaluating the media (r = 0.24, 95% CI [0.05, 0.41]). No other significant moderating factors were found. The findings highlight the potential value of integrating established and emerging school well-being curriculum with existing and emerging school media literacy curriculum. Findings also point to the potential benefits of imparting media literacy skills to adult learners, through contexts such as tertiary education institutions and online environments. However, additional research is needed to better understand the association between media literacy and well-being and provide more concrete recommendations for practice.
