Published: December 2023

Good Governance aims to encourage efficient management, openness, active participation, and fairness in the organizational or governmental structure. If applied to an application platform that manages population administration services, the principles of Good Governance can secure the smooth running of these services, in line with the needs of the community. The purpose of the study was to determine the implementation of Good Governance based on an information system application for population administration services via smartphones in Tanah Laut Regency and the obstacles in its implementation which have become part of the governance of the Indonesian state in general and specifically in the Department of Population and Civil Registration of Tanah Laut Regency. The data analysis technique is to use interactive model data analysis (data reduction). The results show that the context of the principles of Good Governance at the Department of Population and Civil Registration of Tanah Laut Regency still needs to be improved again, this is because there are still some principles that are still not running optimally, such as the presence of individuals who prioritize the interests of groups/officials, lacking facilities and infrastructure, such our computers and there are employees who are not under their competence.

Indonesia is one of the largest marine debris disposal countries in Asia. Due to its open dumping garbage disposal scheme and the growing population of productive age and educated demographic, there is a heightened urgency to develop an education model as a practical solution. This study aims to develop an education model that combines education and mindfulness to achieve environmental competency using a pretest-posttest control group design. The target population is 96 students in classes 11 and 12, and they are divided randomly into 2 groups called the experiment group which got the intervention and the control group which did not get any intervention. The intervention given to the experimental group was built on social learning theory and adapted to the environment and socio-culture of Jakarta, Indonesia. Pretest and posttest questionnaire were used and analyzed using t-test, paired samples t-test, and one-way ANOVA. The results shows that environmental education and mindfulness influence positively pro-environmental behaviour, and there are significant differences in posttest result of the experimental group. Our experiment demonstrates education and mindfulness can simultaneously cultivate and sustain environmental competency.
Enucleation for retinoblastoma in a 22-month-old boy
Authors: Ningtyas Indri Ari , Irawan Empi
Published: December 2023

Retinoblastoma is the commonest intraocular tumor in childhood. Management of retinoblastoma is quite complex depending on the stage, visual and globe saving, psychosocial factors, modality of treatment, and health infrastructure. We report a case of retinoblastoma in a child in a limited health facility without a pediatric oncologist or ophthalmology oncologist. A 22-month old boy came with complaints of leukocoria which his parents had known since the previous week. Ultrasonography of the eye shows calcification on the retina that supports Group E retinoblastoma. Bone marrow aspiration and MRI cannot be performed due to limited resources. Even though the parents only noticed the symptoms for a week and immediately brought to the ophthalmologist, the retinoblastoma stage was already in Group E. Enucleation and globe salvage were unavoidable. Enucleation was performed on the patient with histopathology finding the presence of Flexner-Wintersteiner rosette cells. After enucleation, he was referred to the oncologist for adjuvant chemotherapy. Early retinoblastoma detection is crucial in increasing the cure rate while maintaining children's vision.

Published: December 2023

The prevalence of Parkinson's disease is increasing every year. This progressive disease is characterized by the loss of neurons in the substantia nigra due to the presence of alpha-synuclein aggregates. Keluwih leaves (Artocarpus camansi) are known to have activity in inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, as well as being an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ethanol extract of A. camansi leaves on the levels of alpha-synuclein in male and female adult zebrafish induced with rotenone. The zebrafish were induced with rotenone at a concentration of 5 µg/L for 28 days, along with the administration of 96% ethanol extract of A. camansi leaves at doses of 2.5, 5, 7.5, or 10 mg/L. The media was changed every 48 hours to maintain the concentration of rotenone and extract. After 28 days, alpha-synuclein levels were examined using immunohistochemistry. The administration of ethanol extract of A. camansi leaves can reduce the average levels of alpha-synuclein in male and female adult zebrafish, with the optimum dose being 2.5 mg/L. Therefore, it can be concluded that the administration of ethanol extract of A. camansi leaves can be used as an alternative treatment for Parkinson's disease.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is closely related to hypertension. Increasing the severity of CKD is associated with more difficult blood pressure control. Appropriate therapeutic management is needed to prevent complications due to uncontrolled hypertension. We report the case of a 78-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of hypertension and end-stage CKD with a history of undergoing hemodialysis for 4 years. The patient has been taking antihypertensive drugs such as Angiotensin Receptor Blockers, Calcium Channel Blockers and Diuretics. However, the administration of three antihypertensive drugs still could not help achieve the expected blood pressure target where the systolic blood pressure was still above 160 mmHg. The patient also has anemia as a common complication of chronic kidney disease. Appropriate management of therapy with fourth-line therapy and hemoglobin repair is necessary to achieve improved clinical outcomes and reduce renal worsening.

A Avicultura brasileira é reconhecida mundial pela tecnificação da criação e pela qualidade da carne dos animais, sendo uma das mais consumidas ao redor do mundo e a mais consumida a nível nacional. Parte deste resultado que colocada nossa avicultura no cenário internacional se deve a suplementação que é ministrada as aves durante o processo de criação. O presente experimento foi desenvolvido para avaliar o efeito da suplementação de zinco e vitamina E na dieta de frangos de corte no período de 22 a 42 dias, em relação aos parâmetros consumo de ração em g/ave; ganho de peso em g/ave; viabilidade criatória e índice de eficiência produtiva, sendo os frangos submetidos naturalmente ao estresse por calor. O delineamento utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados (DBC), sendo dois níveis de zinco (0 e 120 mg) e três de vitamina E (0, 300 e 600 mg), além da ração controle. A vitamina E foi utilizada na forma de acetato DL-a-tocoferol a 50% e o zinco na forma orgânica. Os parâmetros consumo de ração e viabilidade criatória são influenciados pelos níveis de vitamina E, com os valores máximos alcançados com os níveis de 400 mg de vitamina E/Kg para o consumo de ração e 312,5 mg para a viabilidade criatória. O ganho de peso e a conversão alimentar não são influenciados pelos níveis de zinco e de vitamina E estudados, em condições de estresse por calor cíclico.

The Earliest Attic Potter/Painter Known By Name? The Epigraphy and Materiality of an Early Black-Figure Amphora from Mt. Hymettos
Authors: Kotsonas Antonis
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT: A black-figure amphora from the sanctuary on Mt. Hymettos preserves one of the longest Attic inscriptions of the 7th century b.c., presenting a remarkable case for the integration of a postfiring inscription into the morphology of an early Greek vessel. This article explores the materiality of the amphora and its lacunose inscription, proposing a new reconstruction of the text. The inscription’s peculiar arrangement and unusual verb suggest that it once included one of the earliest signatures of a craftsman in Attica. The study also investigates—but does not embrace—the possibility that the individual mentioned is the earliest Attic potter/painter known by name.

Paucity of information on performance parameters of the newly developed machine limit its extension, adoption and commercialization. Hence, this study focused on the performance evaluation of a newly developed locust bean de-pulping machine. The machine consists of a frame, stainless steel one-end closed vertical cylindrical sieve, set of paddles with brushes, stainless steel water bath with inlet and outlet, and prime mover (GX 200 gasoline engine). It was evaluated at 150, 250 and 350 rpm operating speed levels, 65, 76, 84% wb moisture content levels, and 5, 10 and 15 kg sample weight in triplicates by employing factorial design. The data obtained was analyzed using IBM SPSS version 16 computer package to carryout analysis of variance (ANOVA), separate and compare the means. The result showed maximum de-pulping efficiency of 98.95% and machine capacity of 40.55 kg/h both at 350rpm operating speed, 84% wb moisture content level of 5 kg and 10 kg sample weight respectively. Its optimal operating condition was found to be at 350 rpm operating speed, 84%wb moisture content level and 10 kg sample weight. De-pulping efficiency of the machine increased with an increase in the operating speed and moisture levels but decreases with increase in sample weight, while machine capacity increased with increase in the operating speed, moisture level and sample weight. The ANOVA result showed that the operating speed has significant effect on de-pulping efficiency and machine capacity, while moisture content and sample weight have no significant effect on both de-pulping efficiency and machine capacity at 95% level of significance. The machine is therefore adjudged suitable for extension, adoption and commercialization.
To study the haematological parameters in culturable carps after exposure to lead acetate and nickel chloride
Authors: Shadab Ahmad Khan
Published: December 2023

Major environmental problems nowadays refer to heavy metals which are known to deteriorate the natural phenomenon of all the living beings of the ecosystem. The present study was carried out in two freshwater fishes, Catla catla and Labeo rohita exposed to Lead acetate and Nickel chloride to determine the lethal concentration (Lc50) for 96 hour. The 96h LC50 for both the species was computed as 14.35 mg/L (L. rohita) and 16.75 mg/L (C. catla). The same fishes were treated with sub-lethal concentrations for determining the hematological parameters. All the variations in parameters were dose dependent and were in parenthesis. The experiment was carried out for four weeks and observed that erythrocytes count, hemoglobin and the hematocrit value increased gradually with exposure time while the leukocytes count decreased. Serum protein and serum glucose were found to be affected significantly. Lead acetate seems to be more effective than the nickel chloride.

Authors: Samrat Ray
Published: December 2023

This article briefly introduces the Yan-Zhao culture, as well as the development history of Yan-Zhao paper-cutting and tea art, and introduces the characteristics of these two folk arts in detail. It also studies the translation situation of these two folk arts, mainly focusing on the plight and challenges they faced in translation. For example: inadequate theory, unique cultural symbols that are difficult to translate, significant differences between Chinese and foreign cultures, and the difficulty in conveying the implicit content of folk culture and art. At the same time, the article explores the opportunities that can be seized in the current translation of folk arts, such as the new impetus to translation brought by the development of artificial intelligence, the promotion of national voice in international environment, and the opportunities brought by increased national and people-to-people exchanges. With these opportunities in mind, the article provides some ideas and suggestions for solving translation problems.

Authors: Zeeshan Khan Shah  , Muhammad Baseer Us Salam  , Shamsa  , Suleman Ali
Published: December 2023

Zinc deficiency in maize plants is a common problem, particularly in calcareous soils with pH above 7. This study aimed to investigate the impact of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) applied in different forms (foliar and soil application) and concentrations on maize yield, zinc uptake, and nutrient use efficiency (NUE) in calcareous soil. The results demonstrated that zinc application significantly increased maize yield, zinc uptake, NUE, and the uptake of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. Foliar application of ZnSO4 was more effective than soil application in enhancing zinc uptake, with the highest uptake observed in plants treated with 1.5% ZnSO4 foliar spray. Additionally, zinc application increased zinc content in grains and surface soil, with the highest zinc content in grains found in plants treated with 1.5% ZnSO4 foliar spray and the highest zinc content in surface soil observed in plants treated with 10 kg ha-1 ZnSO4 soil application. These findings suggested that foliar application of ZnSO4 is an effective strategy for improving zinc uptake and grain zinc content in maize plants grown in calcareous soils.

Published: December 2023

The goal of the current research is to present the degrees of students' scientific research self-efficacy and research anxiety as well as to look into the relationship between these two factors regarding various variables (department, gender, education level, profession, and having a scientific publication) in three departments; Special Education, English Language Teaching, and Science Education at Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University. The findings of this study showed that participants' levels of research anxiety are low, that gender, scientific publication status, and department have no bearing on students' levels of research anxiety, but that participants' levels of education and profession significantly affected those levels. Additionally, the participants' levels of scientific research self-efficacy were generally moderate, and factors including gender, current educational attainment, employment status, prior scientific publication, and program type had no discernible effects on these levels. Additionally, a relationship between students' degrees of self-efficacy in scientific research and their levels of anxiety regarding it was found to be moderately positive and significant.
Catholic Church, Jews, the Shoah and the State of Israel
Authors: Havel Boris
Published: December 2023

Judaism and Christianity are religions whose theological epistemology is based on revelation. The primary source of revelation is Holy Scripture. However, history has also been recognised as a source of revelation, particularly the history of Israel and the Jewish people. Because they understood history as a source of revelation, many religious Jews altered their understanding of Jewish statehood in Eretz Israel during the twentieth century, from distinctly averse to increasingly supportive. On the same principles, the Catholic Church made arguably the most profound change in its theology in the twentieth century, concerning its understanding of Jews and Judaism. This was prompted by an­­other major historical event, the Shoah. While in Judaism the historical phenom­enon of the State of Israel profoundly influenced theology, another historical phenomenon, the Shoah, was theologically approached with far more unease and ambiguity. In the Catholic Church, in contrast, the historical phenomenon of the Shoah prompted a serious reconsideration of certain tenets of theology, includ­ing soteriology, while the historical phenomenon of the State of Israel did not. This article addresses this apparent contradiction comparatively.

Published: December 2023

We report on numerous additional records and observations of Varanus nesterovi Böhme et al., 2015, and its chorological relationships (parapatry vs. sympatry) to its close relatives, viz. V. griseus griseus and V. g. caspius. The new distributional data and locality records do not only hint on various threats for V. nesterovi, but document also its parapatry with griseus along a line from east of Mosul to east of Kirkuk, and with caspius near Shiraz. This chorological pattern of V. nesterovi‘s distribution range wedged between the ranges of the taxa griseus and caspius argues, next to morphological and molecular genetic grounds, strongly for full species status of the three taxa involved. We discuss a theoretically possible but questionable occurrence of V. caspius in Europe (south of Baku, Azerbajdzhan) in the framework of fossil varanids from European sites and we comment on the type locality of Psammosaurus caspius Eichwald, 1831.

Published: December 2023

Lifespan developmental theories suggest age-related shifts in motivation, cognition, emotion regulation, and stressor experience lead to changes in mean levels of negative and positive affect across the lifespan. The present research used coordinated data analysis to examine mean-level affective trajectories in 186,752 participants ranging from 11–104 years old across 14 longitudinal studies. Random-effects models were used to estimate meta-analytic effect sizes. On average, negative affect decreased until early older adulthood, and then remained stable throughout older adulthood. Meanwhile, positive affect remained stable across most of the younger and middle-aged adult lifespan, before starting its descent in later middle-aged adulthood and continuing to decline throughout older adulthood. Studies with older samples showed a clearer flattening effect of negative affect and steeper decline of positive affect in late-life relative to younger samples. These findings suggest that lifespan developmental affect trajectories are nuanced and not a direct inverse of each other.
Empathy incites a stable prosocial decision bias
Authors: Saulin Anne , Ma Yina , Hein Grit
Published: December 2023

Empathy towards suffering individuals serves as potent driver for prosocial behavior. However, it is unclear whether prosocialiaty induced by empathy for another’s pain persists once the other person’s suffering diminishes. To test this, participants underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while performing a binary social decision task that involved allocation of points to themselves and another. In block one, participants completed the task after witnessing frequent painful stimulation of the other person, and in block two, after observing low frequency of painful stimulation. Drift-diffusion modelling revealed an increased initial bias towards making prosocial decisions in the first block compared to baseline that persisted in the second block. These results were replicated in an independent behavioral study. An additional control study showed that this effect may be specific to empathy as stability was not evident when prosocial decisions were driven by a social norm such as reciprocity. Increased neural activation in dorsomedial prefrontal cortex was linked to empathic concern after witnessing frequent pain and to a general prosocial decision bias after witnessing rare pain. Together, our findings show that empathy for pain elicits a stable inclination towards making prosocial decisions even when that other person’s suffering diminishes.
Characteristics of a Successful Nurse Peer Champion in the Implementation of Digital Technologies in Hospitals: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Hoving Ciska , Siebeck Olga
Published: December 2023

Objectives: Although several studies have investigated and confirmed the positive role peer champions tend to play in implementation processes, little is known about the attributes others assign to an effective champion. Drawing on the Motivational Theory of Role Modelling, this study explores which attributes nurses perceive as crucial in an effective peer champion, specifically in digital transformation in hospitals, aiming at improving our understanding of peer champions in implementation processes in healthcare. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted with semi-structured interviews. Transcripts were coded using a hybrid approach of inductive and deductive coding and analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Ten nurses from Germany participated in semi-structured interviews. The attributes most often mentioned were competence, taking on responsibility, a positive and passionate attitude, transferring knowledge and supporting aspirants in applying it, and leadership skills. Four types of champions were identified: a pragmatic and structured champion, a passionate innovator, a social and outgoing team leader, and a calm and empathetic team leader. Conclusions: The findings largely align with the body of literature on peer champion characteristics in other populations and should therefore be used to guide peer champion application in hospitals to enhance effective implementation of innovations.Practice Implications: The findings can be utilised to develop guidelines for hospitals on implementation processes. Managers could deploy champion teams to ensure cover a broad range of characteristics and provide nurses with the champion types that resonate with them the most.

Cost Comparison of Flexible Pavement on Weak Sub-Grade Soil Modified with Lime and SD
Authors: Chaudhary Braj Kishore , Gautam Gopal
Published: December 2023

The effectiveness of flexible pavement is affected by the subgrade quality. The subgrade refers to a compacted layer of soil that provides sideways support to the pavement. When constructed on a weak subgrade, it negatively impacts the pavement's performance, leading to a shorter lifespan. Traditionally, the common method to stabilize a soft subgrade involves removing the weak soil and replacing it with stronger soil. However, due to the high expenses associated with soil replacement, highway agencies are exploring alternative approaches to constructing highways on soft subgrades. Soil stabilization is a commonly employed alternative in pavement construction, serving as an effective method to enhance the engineering characteristics of soil, including its strength and stability. This paper focuses on the utilization of lime and stone dust (SD) as admixtures for an efficient ground improvement technique over weak subgrade soil deposits. The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test is conducted by making the specimens of weak subgrade by adding the variable percentages of a mixture of lime and SD. First, the soil was mixed up with lime to 12% by weight with an increment of 3% again the soil was mixed with SD with increments of 10% up to 50% by weight of soil. The study determined an optimal lime content of 3% based on the geotechnical properties of the mixture and the cost considerations of lime and the weak subgrade. Following this, SD was added to the optimized lime-weak subgrade mixture in varying increments of 10% by weight, up to a maximum of 40%. The modified mixes were then evaluated for their CBR and maximum dry density values. The CBR is increased to 15% and the total pavement thickness decreased to 725 mm for 50% SD addition with 4.89 % in cost reduction.
“Invading Indigenous Territory is Not Reconciliation”: Problematizing War Frames in News Coverage of Wet’suwet’en Solidarity Actions
Authors: Hume Rebecca , Walby Kevin
Published: December 2023

Context: Leading up to the March 2020 global COVID-19 lockdown, an important movement was building power across so-called Canada. What began as a continuation of the decades-long, localized struggle for self-determination in Wet’suwet’en territory quickly became a focal point for nationwide Indigenous resistance, refusal, and solidarity.

Analysis: Drawing from literature on media framing, this article examines the use of war frames in early 2020 news depictions of mobilizations in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en. The analysis suggests that war frames are operationalized to simultaneously naturalize police violence while also validating the sovereignty of Indigenous nations.

Conclusion and implications: This work contributes not only to the literature on the framing of protests by the mainstream media but also to the ongoing project of unsettling conditions of settler colonial power in Canadian society.
Media Framing of Dominant Ideologies in Explanatory Journalism Concerning Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
Authors: Dwyer Lauren , Crawford Charlotte , Zeller Frauke
Published: December 2023

Background: This case study investigates how dominant narratives and hegemonic ideals shape technological discourses in explanatory journalism. It examines dominant media frames in articles on technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics in a multinational outlet for explanatory journalism.

Analysis: Before and during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, media frames in articles on the aforementioned topics were analyzed to determine their prevalence and impact.

Conclusions and implications: Framing robotic and AI-powered technologies shapes the perception of these technologies and of the institutional bodies surrounding them. This research explores connections and considers the initial impact of COVID-19 on the use of media frames and hegemonic narratives.

Many different anthropological parameters contribute to achieving top success in handball. Morphological characteristics and repetitive strength have been shown through scientific and practical work to be one of the most important indicators of success. Therefore, the aim of this research is to determine the differences in some morphological characteristics and repetitive strength in relation to the age of handball players. This research includes subjects of three age categories, handball players born in 2009, 2010, and 2011. The sample of measuring instruments consisted of three independent variables - age category of handball players, three variables for the assessment of morphological characteristics (body height, body mass, body mass index) and three variables for the assessment of repetitive strength (sit ups until failure, push-ups until failure and chin ups until failure). All statistical analyzes were implemented within the statistical package IBM SPSS Statistics (Version 20). In all tests of morphological characteristics, significant differences were found (body height, body mass, body mass index) were at the level of p<0.005, while repetitive strength test differences were not found in the push-ups until failure test (p>0.005), but in the sit ups until failure and chin ups until failure tests, significance was determined (p<0.005).
