Authors: Fathadhika Sarentya , Pudjiati Sri Redatin Retno
Published: March 2023

Children who experience stunting are known to have problems in socio-emotional development. One of the factors that can help optimize children's socio-emotional development is the provision of psycho-social stimulation. This study aims to determine the effect of psychosocial stimulation on the socio-emotional development of stunted children in Central Aceh. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlation cross-sectional research design. This research was conducted in February 2021. One hundred children aged 3 to 5 years with stunting conditions in Central Aceh were selected as participants in this study through convenience sampling. The measuring instruments used in this study are Ages & Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional, Second Edition (ASQ: SE-2) to measure children's socioemotional development and The Early Childhood Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (ECHOME). The analysis uses linear regression and multiple regression. The results showed no effect on providing psycho-social stimulation on socio-emotional development in stunted children in Central Aceh (p= 0,063). Furthermore, the results showed that language stimulation affected socio-emotional development (p= 0,003). In conclusion, overall psycho-social stimulation does not affect the socio-emotional development of stunted children in Central Aceh, and only language stimulation significantly affects socio-emotional development.

Published: March 2023

Biscuits with eel flour substitution contained high energy and protein. Food spoilage during storage is caused by water absorption from food storage. This study examines the effect of storage on the water content of biscuits and organoleptic quality. This research was a quasi-experiment conducted by laboratory analysis of the moisture content of biscuits with the addition of eel flour (Monoptherus albus zuieuw). The experiment was conducted at Jayapura Health Polytechnic Laboratory, consisting of 3 formulas (10, 20 and 30 grams) of eel flour substitution. They were packaged using PP plastic and glass jars. The observations were conducted for seven days at temperatures of -18°C and 45°C. Organoleptic test using 17 somewhat trained panellists. Analysis using Independent T-Test. The results showed that biscuits stored at -18°C experienced an increase in water content on the seventh day. Biscuits stored in plastic packaging have a higher water content than glass jars. There was no significant difference in the water content of biscuits stored in jars and plastics (p=0,631). Organoleptic analysis showed that on the sixth day, there was a change in the preference for taste and texture stored in plastic at temperatures of 45°C. In conclusion, there was no significant difference in the moisture content of the biscuits stored in glass or plastic jars. However, there was a decrease in preference on the sixth day of plastic packaging.
Prejudice and the Child in Conflict with the Law: The Role of the Authoritarian Personality

Published: March 2023

The purpose of this research was to explore the relationships between authoritarian personality and prejudice toward juvenile offender. The participant selection using purposive sampling with participant’s criterian was middle adulthood who lived in Mojongapit Indah Jombang (n = 66). Those location was selected with the consideration that it is located in the same area as the Rumah Hati shelter, a mentoring house for juvenile offender. Data then collected using authoritarian personality and prejudice toward juvenile offender questionnaires designed by researchers based on Altemeyers right-wing authoritarian theory and prejudice by Myers. The results of analysis using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation indicate that there is a relationship between authoritarian personality and prejudice towards Juvenile Offender (r = 0.421; 0.000; p <0.05). These results indicate that the higher the authoritarian personality possessed by participants, the higher the prejudice that participants have towards Juvenile Offender. Therefore, reducing the level of authoritarian personality needs to be done so that prejudice against Juvenile Offender also decreases. This can be done by reducing the use of strict rules by parents or to teach that the world is a dangerous place. Thus, can higher the authoritarian personality within the child and create hostility or rejection to those who are different from him. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara kepribadian otoritarian dengan prasangka terhadap Anak Berkonflik dengan Hukum (ABH). Teknik pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan kriteria subjek, yakni laki-laki dan perempuan yang termasuk dalam dewasa madya, yakni berusia 40 – 65 tahun (n = 66) dan bertempat tinggal di Perumahan Mojongapit Indah Jombang. Hal ini dikarenakan daerah tersebut berlokasi sama dengan shelter Rumah Hati yang merupakan rumah pendampingan bagi ABH.  Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuisioner kepribadian otoritarian dan prasangka terhadap ABH yang dirancang oleh peneliti berdasarkan teori right-wing authoritarian Altemeyer dan teori prasangka oleh Myers. Hasil analisis menggunakan Pearson Product-Moment Correlation menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara kepribadian otoritarian dengan prasangka terhadap ABH (r = 0.421; 0.000; p < 0.05). Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi kepribadian otoritarian yang dimiliki oleh subjek, maka semakin tinggi pula prasangka terhadap ABH. Oleh karena itu, menurunkan tingkat kepribadian otoritarian perlu dilakukan agar prasangka terhadap ABH juga mengalami penurunan. Hal tersebut dapat dilakukan oleh para orangtua dengan tidak menerapkan pola asuh yang kaku dalam penerapan aturan maupun menanamkan kepercayaan bahwa dunia adalah tempat berbahaya. Jika kepribadian otoritarian tinggi maka akan muncul sikap permusuhan atau penolakan kepada mereka yang berbeda dengan dirinya.

Intestinal permeability and its role in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders (metabolic syndrome). Literature review
Authors: Fadieienko G. D. , Gridnyev O. Y. , Gridnieva S. V.
Published: March 2023

The article highlights the role of intestinal barrier permeability in the pathogenesis of «metabolic diseases» (diabetes, obesity, etc.). It has been shown that normal intestinal microbiota plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier, and disruption of its homeostasis significantly affects not only intestinal permeability, but also systemic inflammatory processes, immune function, insulin resistance, and lipid metabolism. It was determined that the «Western» diet provides the microbiota with the tools necessary to counteract the host’s immune system and that these changes can destroy the intestinal barrier and contribute to the development of metabolic endotoxinemia. The increased intestinal permeability to endotoxin plays a key role in the development of metabolic changes due to increased translocation of bacterial waste products and contributes to the development of both local and systemic low‑grade inflammation. Intestinal microbiota, affecting metabolic processes in adipose tissue and liver due to impaired intestinal permeability, can ultimately affect systemic insulin resistance and glucose dysregulation. Alterations in the relationship between intestinal immune cells and the microbiome result in the aberrant inflammatory distortions, they are associated with intestinal barrier disruption, metabolic disease progression, and insulin resistance. Intestinal immune cells make an additional contribution to the metabolic disease by regulating the bioavailability of gastrointestinal hormones, which subsequently control blood glucose levels and also affect intestinal barrier permeability. Abnormalities in the tight junctions of intercellular connections in the intestine are associated with metabolic and inflammatory diseases. Disturbance of the intestinal barrier function has been confirmed both in animal models of metabolic‑associated diseases and in human studies, and it is indicated that this barrier dysfunction is an important cause of the metabolic syndrome. Data on the effect of lifestyle adjustments (dietary changes, exercise) and therapeutic strategies (metformin, pre‑ and probiotics, bariatric surgery) on intestinal permeability have been presented.

Anti-Blackness and Attendance Policy Implementation: Evidence From a Midwestern School District
Authors: Edwards Erica B. , Singer Jeremy , Lenhoff Sarah Winchell
Published: March 2023

This study considers the degree to which attendance policies and practices to address chronic absenteeism in a large Midwestern urban school district create suffering in Black parents’ experiences. In a secondary analysis of longitudinal qualitative data conducted through Afro-pessimist conceptualizations of anti-Blackness, we found that the district’s attendance policies antagonize Black parents in ways that create psychological and material distress; and that educators characterize Black parents as problems they must overcome. These findings demonstrate how attendance policies and practices are imbricated in anti-Black social processes, inviting social death into Black family life. In the ongoing struggle to realize Black freedom, the paper calls for abandoning incentivize-and-punish approaches that assume Black parents and students are inadequately committed to schooling.
Expertise on Offer: Why Isn’t Anyone Buying?
Authors: Braun Henry
Published: March 2023

It is a much-lamented fact that research with the potential to inform or influence education policy instead remains policy inert. There are many reasons for this frustrating state of affairs, including a lack of strategic thinking on the part of researchers on how to successfully accomplish outreach—as opposed to communication with peers (in-reach). Another, and a principal focus of this article, is the failure of researchers to appreciate the power of employing compelling narratives to bring their findings to the attention of policymakers and other stakeholders. Accordingly, this article presents some examples of narratives specifically designed for outreach and discusses some of their features. It also considers the challenges in gaining traction with counternarratives once a particular narrative has achieved currency. Researchers should also be mindful of the tenor of the times, with experts now often viewed with skepticism, if not downright hostility. In some quarters, excessive reliance on technocrats is even seen as a threat to democratic governance. The article concludes with some recommendations on how to appropriately enhance the role of research in education policymaking.

Brain atlases are widely used to determine relative location, form, and a number of other parameters of certain brain structures. Such data are required in medical practice, fundamental neuroscience research, and educating graduate and postgraduate medical students. Many papers observed the development of human brain atlases. However, recently numerous new atlases have been published, both digital and online ones. This tendency was triggered by intensive development and growing accessibility of modern visualization tools and digitizing novel data and existing archives. This study aimed to overview the historical background of and modern tendencies in the brain atlas development for Russian readers. Furthermore, foreign literature does not focus on Russian neurological tradition, so we attempted to cover this issue as well. Particular attention is paid to the atlases of human brain development.

Introduction. ATP synthase is a key component of ATP synthesis. The study of its content in brain neurons in experimental cerebral ischemia may reflect changes in the functional state of different neurons and their sensitivity to the pathological effect. The study aimed to reveal patterns in ATP synthase immunoreactivity in neurons of various parts of the rat brain during subtotal ischemia of various durations. Materials and methods. Modeling of subtotal cerebral ischemia (SCI) was carried out by ligation of both common carotid arteries (n=12: control group – n=4, 30-minute SCI – n=4, 3-hour SCI – n=4); the control animals underwent a sham surgery. Frontal paraffin sections were stained according to the Nissl method to identify brain structures and immunohistochemically for ATP synthase. ATP synthase immunoreactivity was expressed in units of optical density ×103. Results. Changes in the immunoreactivity of ATP synthase in brain structures occur to varying degrees and not in all studied structures. The most pronounced and rapid decrease in the content of ATP synthase was observed in telencephalon, namely in the temporal and retrosplenial agranular cortex. The least pronounced changes in the cortex were in the structures of the hippocampus, in the neurons of layer II of the CA2 field. In the structures of the thalamus, hypothalamus, and midbrain the dynamic varied. In the structures of the medulla oblongata, the decrease in immunoreactivity occurs more slowly and less pronounced. Conclusion. During experimental cerebral ischemia the degree and rate of change in the content of ATP synthase in rat brain structures vary greatly and depend both on the brain region and the neurotransmitter nature of neurons. Keywords: ATP synthase, ischemia, immunohistochemistry, brain, rat
Carbon store dynamics in the structure of mangrove in the southern Pacific of Mexico
Authors: Tovilla Hernández Cristian , Velázquez Pérez Carolina
Published: March 2023

Mangroves are recognized as the wetlands with the most significant capacity to store carbon, this ability to store carbon is due to their high productivity and the low rates of organic matter decomposition. The study area is one of the Intensive Carbon Monitoring Sites (SMIC, initials in Spanish) in Mexico. In the southern coast of the Mexican Pacific, in the La Encrucijada Biosphere Reserve (REBIEN). The SMIC has an extension of 1x1 km. In this area there are eight conglomerates. Each conglomerate contains four circular-shaped secondary units of 400 m2. The inventory includes trees ≥ 2.5 cm of DBH (Diameter at breast height). Tree species, DBH, height, canopy diameter, the basal area and tree density. Tree biomass was quantified, and the carbon store was determined using the biomass-to-carbon conversion factor of 0.48. The carbon in standing dead trees was estimated using the methodology of Kauffman et al. (2012). The environmental parameters quantified: interstitial salinity, pH, temperature and flood level. Results R. mangle is the dominant species, conglomerate 2 presented the highest tree density and conglomerate 4 the lowest. Conglomerates 8 and 4 had the highest averages for DBH, basal area, height, and crown area, in contrast, the conglomerates 1, 5, and 2, had the lowest averages. In the study area, the fall of trees was the factor that most affected the aboveground (aerial) carbon content, which increased 6.91 and 3% respectively during the second and third year of monitoring. Natural mortality increased and affected mostly young trees 2.5 to 10 cm tall. Wood extraction remained constant during the three years of study. During the three years of study, conglomerate 6 presented the highest biomass averages with 210.4 Mgha-1 and carbon stores of 101.0 MgCha-1; in contrast, conglomerate 5 registered the lowest average with 124.9 Mgha-1 and 60.0 MgCha-1 .  R. mangle presents the biggest store of carbon with 60.4 MgCha-1. This mangrove system registered an increase in natural mortality during the study period, which could be the result of the massive amounts of sediment the river has been carrying after the passage of Hurricane “Stan” in 2005.
Differential expression of COL4A2 in cancer of the head and neck: oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2023

Head and neck cancers are an emerging public health problem and most are now thought to be caused by high-risk human papillomavirus infection (1-3). We mined public and published microarray datasets (4, 5) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding collagen type IV alpha 2 chain, COL4A2, when comparing OSCC tumor tissue to the tissue of origin. COL4A2 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the head and neck as compared to normal tissues from the head and neck. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of COL4A2 in head and neck tumors was correlated with overall survival in patients with head and neck cancer whose tumors possessed high mutational burden. COL4A2 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human OSCC.

The purpose of this writing is to provide mental nursing care to Mr. D at RSJ. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ildrem Medan. The descriptive writing method is a case study by conducting nursing care to patients with sensory perception problems of auditorys hallucinations with a treatment implementation strategy (SP) which was carried out for 14 days. Family support is an important factor in efforts to increase motivation so that it can have a positive effect on psychological health. Data collection techniques were carried out using interview techniques, observation and physical examination. The nursing problem found in Mr.D patients is auditory hallucinations. With 14 days of management, Mr.D can control auditory hallucinations by scolding, taking medication regularly, talking to others, doing scheduled activities. Suggestions in the management of patients with auditory hallucinations are expected that with this research medical staff can build a trusting relationship with clients so that good communication can emerge and clients can express their problems in order to achieve the nursing process, the role of the family is expected to accompany schizophrenia patients by accompanying and providing emotional support so that schizophrenic patients feel cared for the patient's recovery
The String Swampland and de Sitter Vacua: A Consistent Perspective for Superstrings and Multi-fold Universes
Authors: Maes Stephane
Published: March 2023

In a multi-fold universe, gravity emerges from Entanglement through the multi-fold mechanisms. As a result, gravity-like effects appear in between entangled particles that they be real or virtual. Long range, massless gravity results from entanglement of massless virtual particles. Entanglement of massive virtual particles leads to massive gravity contributions at very smalls scales. Multi-folds mechanisms also result into a spacetime that is discrete, with a random walk fractal structure and non-commutative geometry that is Lorentz invariant and where spacetime nodes and particles can be modeled with microscopic black holes. All these recover General Relativity at large scales and semi-classical model remain valid till smaller scales than usually expected. Gravity can therefore be added to the Standard Model resulting into what we define as SMG, the Standard Model with non-negligible gravity effects at its scales. This can contribute to resolving several open issues with the Standard Model without new Physics other than gravity. These considerations hints at a even stronger relationship between gravity and the Standard Model.Superstrings are encountered in the context of Multi-fold universes; but not as physical entities, or as entities encountered in the multi-fold universe spacetime. Their discovery in AdS(5) (+ extra dimensions) tangent to every multi-fold universe spacetime points are physically consistent with superstrings that would only exist in universes with negative cosmological constants.Yet, in previous papers, we did not analyze the details of the related string theory theorems and conjectures, about curvature and viable curvatures, and, in particular, we did not discuss criticisms made by some to the main incompatibility results. These are conjectures not accepted by all, or alternatives that seem to be able to avoid them. This paper provides an analysis that supports the proposal of the incompatibility of superstrings with positive curvature (asymptotic De Sitter), dark energy or cosmological constant. This result applies to superstring theories. But it is good to note that the reasoning is consistent with the multi-fold universe spacetime reconstruction model (random walks), inflation (including the approach based on Higgs field (minimally) coupled to gravity), and multi-fold dark energy mechanisms. It piles on the already asserted incompatibility of superstrings, and supersymmetry, with SMG based on asymptotic safety of gravity in multi-fold universes.In the context of multi-fold universes, it appears that the multi-fold universe spacetime emerges from the multi-fold random walk, while its dual tangent AdS(5), where the multi-folds, or gravitons, live, could be seen as emerging from superstrings. Superstrings are buffered by AdS(5) from (asymptotic) dS, and relieved from having to support its emergence or existence. The jury remains out on the exact physical relevance of superstrings beyond gravitons in AdS(5).

Computing has evolved from normal networked PCs and servers, and it now has number of different forms depending on the ways of computing, task distribution and other factors. With course of time, the computing tasks and their complexity also evolved, and it is increasing exponentially day by day. And it is becoming increasingly complex, specifically for individuals and small-scale organizations to perform these operations on the limited computing infrastructure they have.There are millions of computers with certain computing power connected to the internet, and very few of these computing systems are non-idle for 24 hours. There are times when these systems are idle or during normal operations, they are never utilized up to their highest potential performance.We are proposing establishing a system which can crowdsource heavy tasks which need to be performed by individuals or organizations using distributed computing over the internet. There are techniques which could be used for the same.

Specific learning disability of reading, or dyslexia, affects ~5-17 percent of the population in the United States. Research on the neurobiology of dyslexia has included studies with relatively small sample sizes across research sites, thus, limiting inference and the application of novel methods, such as deep learning. To address these issues and facilitate open science, we developed an online platform for data-sharing and advanced research programs to enhance opportunities for replication by providing researchers with secondary data that can be used in their research (https://www.dyslexiadata.org). This platform integrates a set of well-designed machine learning algorithms and tools to generate secondary datasets, such as cortical thickness, as well as regional brain volume metrics that have been consistently associated with dyslexia. Researchers can access shared data to address fundamental questions about dyslexia and development, replicate research findings, apply new methods, and educate the next generation of researchers. The overarching goal for this platform is to advance our understanding of a disorder that has significant academic, social, and economic impacts on children, their families, and society.

Published: March 2023

Objective: To identify and describe the nature of adaptations made, if any, to psychotherapeutic interventions to support the participation of people with acquired language disorders.Introduction: People with acquired language disorders (PWLD) are at greater risk of a number of psychological conditions, including depression, anxiety, and substance abuse disorder. Psychotherapies, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT), are considered gold-standard in the management of a number of mental health difficulties. However, these ‘talking therapies’ rely heavily on language skills rendering them potentially inaccessible to PCWD. The aim of this review is to synthesise extant literature on psychotherapy in the context of acquired language disorders to identify and describe the nature of adaptations made to interventions to enhance accessibility to PWLD.Inclusion criteria: Peer reviewed intervention studies will be eligible for inclusion in this review. Studies must have participants with acquired language disorders (e.g., aphasia, cognitive-communication disorder) and evaluate the effectiveness of a psychotherapeutic approach. A range of methodological approaches will be eligible for inclusion, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies as long as they have conducted a direct evaluation of the psychotherapeutic approach. Only full-text studies written in English will be eligible for inclusion. No restrictions on year or country of publication will be applied. Methods: Four databases (Medline, CINAHL, PubMed, and psychINFO) will be searched to find articles which fit the inclusion criteria. Searches will be conducted in March 2023. Reference harvesting will be conducted to identify relevant studies not initially retrieved via database searching. Each study will be independently screened by no less than two reviewers to determine if inclusion criteria have been met. Search terms used will be in English.

The digital era brings various benefits to adolescents. However, operating on the digital environment without sufficient knowledge and skills will expose them to multiple types of risks, especially in the country with low digital safety education rate like Vietnam. The current study examines factors that can contribute to cultivating adolescents’ digital resilience using the information-processing reasoning of the Mindsponge Theory. A UNESCO dataset of 1061 Vietnamese high school students was analyzed using the Bayesian Mindsponge Framework analytics. It is found that adolescents’ daily Internet usage frequency, parents’ Internet safety guidance, and teachers’ safety guidance are positively associated with digital resilience. However, the effects of parents’ and teachers’ Internet safety guidance on digital resilience are conditional on the daily Internet usage frequency. Parents’ guidance only enhances adolescents’ digital resilience if they use the Internet less than four hours per day. In contrast, the positive effect of teachers’ guidance on adolescents’ digital resilience becomes stronger when the students spend more time on the Internet (more than 1 hour). Based on these findings, we suggest that adolescents can learn to minimize risks and protect themselves by exposing more to the digital environment. Parents’ and teachers’ supports are important in enhancing adolescents’ capability to deal with digital threats, but types of supports need to be carefully considered to avoid reverse impacts on adolescents’ resilience.
