Efforts to improve cattle productivity can be done by using artificial insemination (AI) technology. Many factors determine the success of AI, one of which is the diluent used in semen preservation. The purpose of this study was to determine.the effect.of zinc level in.tris-egg yolk.diluent (T-EY) on the.quality of liquid semen of Angus bull. Semen is collected once a week using.an artificial.vaginal method from a three-year-old Angus bull in an undisturbed or healthy body and reproductive organs. Semen was diluted with T-EY diluent which had been added with zinc at several levels, 0 mg control treatment (T0), 10.mg (T1), 20.mg (T2), 30.mg (T3), 40 mg (T4). The diluted semen was.stored at a temperature of 3-5oC, then observed every 24 hours for.motility, viability,.abnormalities and survival of.spermatozoa to a minimum motility of 40%. The.results showed.that the addition of 20 mg of zinc in the T-EY.diluent (T2) resulted in a higher.quality of liquid semen of Angus bull (P˂0.05) than other.treatments. The quality of the liquid semen (motility, viability, abnormalities and survival of spermatozoa) were motility 44±5.75%, viability 48.39±13.59%, abnormality 6.91±1.85% and durability.live 5.60±0.89 days. It was.concluded that the.addition.of 20 mg zinc in the.tris-egg yolk diluent produced liquid semen of Angus bull with higher quality than other treatments.

Published: August 2024

Evaluating spoken language proficiency stands as a pivotal component in language assessment. A well-known method for cheating in spoken language tests involves reciting pre-scripted responses. This paper presents a system called the Automated Speech Similarity Detector (AutoSSD). AutoSSD leverages state-of-the-art AI transcription to convert spoken responses into texts, analyzes these transcriptions for verbatim similarities among test takers, and provides an interactive interface for a subsequent expert review. Our system has proven effective in practical operation, and our findings can help other spoken language assessments bolster their test security measures.
Yemen and 'Afiya in the Face of the Umma
Authors: Hauter Ashwak
Published: August 2024

This paper explores the psychic implications of nation-state politics on Yemenis and the necessity of repair and restorative justice. It examines some burgeoning work by artists and filmmakers that work on the image of the Yemeni as a reaction to the mental health crisis, ongoing war, and dispossession. For many of my interlocutors, the exploration and reimagining of Yemeni history, identity, and their place within a larger umma beyond nation-state formation becomes a necessary act of repair—and a precondition toward broader political aspirations. The essay traces the works of art by two Yemeni artists that meditate on the conditions of community, trust, and individual and communal wellbeing in relation to the Muslim umma. In turn, it considers how an ummatic aspiration is mediated by local political histories, but also the difficult psychic work necessary to articulate this aspiration amid cultural desolation.
Perilous Intimacies: Debating Hindu-Muslim Friendship After Empire
Authors: Friedmann Yohanan
Published: August 2024

The subtitle of the book under review suggests that it deals with modern relationships between Hindus and Muslims in India, but the scope of the book is actually much wider. It deals with the general question of the various Muslim views of the relationship between Muslims and adherents of other civilizations and religions, ranging from the 9th century al-ʿĀmirī and the 11th century al-Bīrūnī, to the 18th century Mirzā Maẓhar Jān-i Jānān and thinkers of the 19th and 20th centuries, including such luminaries as Abū al-Kalām Āzād, Aḥmad Riźā Khān, Sayyid Aḥmad Khān and several Deobandī scholars.One of the great virtues of the book is the author’s use of the sources, some of them rarely mentioned in scholarly literature and certainly not to this extent and in such detail. In an academic culture in which various “narratives” have taken the pride of place, it is most welcome to have a work which is replete with theory, but also surveys and analyzes a substantial amount of hitherto unknown source material. The book is also another proof of the great variety of Muslim tradition which enables Muslim scholars to find Islamic justification for their modern world views and policies, even if these are contradictory to each other. Because of its rich content – much of it unknown – the book deserves a detailed review.

The article presents an experimental stand for laboratory research of a screw conveyor with a bladed working body. Based on the results of experimental studies, the corresponding response surface regression equations were constructed to establish the influence of controllable factors upon the degree of damage to the grain materials. It was established that the main factor affecting the increase in the amount of the grain damage was factor x3(n), the rotation frequency of the bladed working body. The increase in factors x1(D) and x2(ψ) led to a decrease in the amount of the grain damage. Based on the results of comparative experimental studies to determine the degree of damage to the grain material during its transportation by the screw and blade working bodies, it was established that the bladed working body provided a reduction in the degree of damage to the grain material with a simpler manufacturing technology.

El presente estudio es una revisión bibliográfica que tiene como objetivo identificar la contribución de la familia en el desarrollo de habilidades comunicativas y lenguaje de los niños con TEA entre 0 a 6 años. La pregunta que orientó la búsqueda de la información fue: ¿Cómo la familia contribuye al mejoramiento de los procesos de comunicación y lenguaje en niños de 0 a 6 años con trastorno del espectro autista? Luego de una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura científica sobre esta temática se seleccionó 7 artículos, en los cuales se evidencia que el tratamiento con la participación de los padres ha reportado avances significativos en el desarrollo de la comunicación y lenguaje. La participación activa y comprometida de los padres incide en el mejoramiento de los procesos de comunicación y lenguaje de sus hijos. Los niños mejoraron y produjeron más actos comunicativos, incrementaron su nivel de léxico y disminuyeron patrones repetitivos y restringidos. Así mismo, los padres tuvieron la oportunidad de entrenarse en la aplicación de estrategias y técnicas para replicar en el hogar con el fin de mantener y generalizar las conductas aprendidas en otros contextos. Por otro los padres cambiaron su estilo comunicativo, adquirieron conocimiento sobre la naturaleza y el impacto del TEA y se entrenaron en el manejo de estrategias funcionales para replicarlas en el entorno familiar. A modo de conclusión, esta investigación de revisión sistemática permitió identificar el aporte de la familia en el tratamiento de la comunicación y lenguaje de los niños con TEA

Metallosis, a Rare Long-Term Complication in a Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Mansir I. , Dahman H. , Slioui B. , Doulhousne H. , Belasri S. , Hammoune N. , Mouhssine A.
Published: August 2024

Metallosis and metal-induced synovitis are well-documented complications associated with metal-backed polyethylene joint prostheses, extensively covered in orthopedic surgery literature. However, the radiological aspects of these complications are less frequently discussed in the literature. There is growing recognition of local and systemic adverse events associated with the release of metal ions and nanoparticles from hip arthroplasty components. Adverse local tissue reactions to metal ion debris can manifest as periprosthetic solid and cystic masses, termed pseudotumors. These pseudotumors can cause pain, swelling, extensive destruction of surrounding hip soft tissues, and compression syndromes affecting neurovascular, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary structures. We present the case of a 50-year-old patient with a history of end-stage chronic renal failure on hemodialysis, who underwent a total left hip arthroplasty 20 years ago. The patient developed a progressively enlarging mass in the left hip, which evolved to include loss of function and increasing inflammatory joint pain. A CT scan and MRI of the left hip were performed, showing radiological signs of metallosis characterized by osteolysis with amorphous increased densities in the periprothetic soft tissues. This case illustrates the importance of radiological findings in the diagnosis and management of rare complications of hip prostheses.
BYSTANDING INTERVIEW WITH THE VOICELESS: A MIXED METHOD APPROACH TO FIELDWORK IN CHINESE SENSITIVE SURVEY
Authors: CHU Zhaoyin , DONG Siling , YANG Jingwen
Published: August 2024

Conducting public opinion surveys on sensitive topics like NIMBY ("Not in My Backyard") facilities among China's rural population (often voiceless) is challenging. To advance relevant research, a new mixed-method approach is proposed in this paper based on fieldwork in Huizhou, China, concerning the T Nuclear Power Plant. The approach combines the paper-and-pencil interviewer-administered questionnaires (PAPIAQ) and bystanding interviews (BI). While PAPIAQ prioritizes researcher neutrality, potentially creating a barrier for less educated respondents, BI fosters deeper interaction and clarifies responses. This strengthens both data reliability (through PAPIAQ illustration) and BI text validity (through deeper understanding). Coded BI texts and statistically analysed PAPIAQ data (via elaboration procedure) ultimately generate a more valid and reliable understanding of rural sentiments on sensitive issues.
The Hunt for Residual Oil Zones in Central Australia
Authors: Clennell M. Ben , Kempton Richard , Strong Paul , Kennedy Martin , Tenthorey Eric , Kalinowski Aleksandra , Patterson Claire
Published: August 2024

Residual oil zones (ROZs) are zones of oil at residual saturation below identified oil–water contacts that are typically immovable and not included in normal reserve calculations. Where reservoir conditions are suitable for miscible displacement, ROZs can provide an excellent target for the application of CO2-enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR). They offer both a producible oil resource accessible through CO2-EOR, as well as a large pore volume for permanent CO2 storage. To understand and quantify the potential of both greenfield and brownfield residual oil zones for CO2-EOR, Geoscience Australia initiated a series of studies as part of the Exploring for the Future (EFTF) initiative. A key outcome of this study is a workflow to identify and qualify potential ROZs using petroleum system tools.
Revised Jurassic and Cretaceous stratigraphic correlations across the Great Artesian Basin: Improving hydrogeological conceptualisations
Authors: Rollet Nadege , Vizy John , Norton Catherine , Hannaford Carey , McPherson Andrew , Tan Kok Piang , Wallace Luke
Published: August 2024

The Great Artesian Basin (GAB) is the largest groundwater basin in Australia, underlying approximately one fifth of the continent, including parts of Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and the Northern Territory. The GAB consists of four hydraulically connected geological basins – Eromanga, Surat, Carpentaria and Clarence-Moreton, which contain a sedimentary assemblage deposited almost continuously from Early Jurassic to Late Cretaceous. Groundwater from the GAB is a vital resource for agricultural, extractive industries and community water supplies. It supports cultural values and sustains groundwater-dependent ecosystems such as springs and wetlands.
The importance of understanding basement and structural inheritance: insights on basin evolution in the greater McArthur and South Nicholson region
Authors: Connors Karen , Blevin Jane , Pryer Lynn
Published: August 2024

Structural inheritance has played a key role in the long evolution of the Paleo- to Mesoproterozoic basins of the McArthur and South Nicholson region. As a result, a reliable geological model of the nature of basement and variations in its rheology are key to understanding the basin evolution and prediction of the thickness and distribution of units at depth and undercover. Despite the limited outcrop of crystalline basement in this region, the crust of the North Australian Craton (NAC) can be subdivided into a series of distinct terranes including rheologically strong cratonic blocks that are separated and bounded by linear, high-density terranes comprising rheologically weaker zones of crust. Over cratonic blocks, sediment packages tend to be relatively flat-lying, constant thickness and undisturbed.
A new view of the evolution of the Beetaloo Sub-basin and its surrounds
Authors: Garrad Daniela
Published: August 2024

The Beetaloo Sub-basin is a major Proterozoic depocentre in the central region of the informally named greater McArthur Basin in the Northern Territory, Australia. Paleoproterozoic Glyde package sediments of the greater McArthur Basin are present to the west and east of the Beetaloo Sub-basin, but there is considerable uncertainty as to their subsurface extent. Previous studies have inferred the package to be present at depth within the sub-basin despite a lack of drill intersections. This inference was mainly based on seismic interpretations that have relied on regional geological knowledge to identify seismic reflectors. A high amplitude reflector package (HARP), interpreted as a bedded carbonate sequence, has previously been used to identify the Glyde package. In this paper, surface geology and magnetic images are used to calibrate seismic reflectors on the eastern margin of the Beetaloo Sub-basin. The HARP is shown to correlate to igneous intrusions of the Derim Derim Dolerite, not to bedded carbonate rocks, and the base of the Mesoproterozoic Wilton package is correlated with an angular unconformity previously interpreted as the base of the underlying Glyde package. This indicates that the Glyde package is missing throughout the eastern Beetaloo Sub-basin, probably as a result of erosion.

Sufi Islam and Anti-Colonial Politics
Authors: Al Rasheed Ameena
Published: August 2024

This article will tackle how African Muslim Women represented by Sudanese women, are undergoing specific transformations of identity, religion and gender roles in the diaspora space. Identities are said to be in constant processes of negotiation between the traditions of the homeland and that of the host society, thus to investigate the relationship between ideologies of new spaces and Sudanese women’s identity, as Muslims and African immigrants affected by the host society’s race and gender roles and discourses, this article will provide an analysis of the multi-faceted nature of Islam represented by the popular, Sufi Islam attached to the tradition of the home land, and the dominant Islamic religious discourse in West Yorkshire. The article will examine issues of rights, representations and history, and shed light on these African Muslim women’s ideas, perspectives and struggles in the diasporic space, and also unpack the interplay of Africanism, Arabism Muslimness/Sufism in the lives of Sudanese women, as related to wider African Islamic Sufi culture as an integral part of the composition of identity.The article seeks to discuss, debate, provoke and rethink Blackness, Muslimness and religious performativities in a nuanced way that capture the complexities regarding African Muslim communities, diasporic experiences, and the multifaceted nature of Islam. Highlighting Africa Muslim experiences that have long been devalued, side lined and excluded, this article interrogates and adds to the field of ethnicity and race as it negotiates African Muslim identities in diverse ways. The article will represent work done on Black Muslim subjects in diverse and unique contexts, challenging the discourses that have produced homogenous identities and homogenous performativities of Islam. It is a call to decolonize the discourses dominant in the West in general and in the UK in particular, and to resist hegemonic Muslim experience formed by mainstream Islam in West Yorkshire, UK.
“[Obeah] Ọbịa by Igbo Spelling”
Authors: Anderson Claudette A.
Published: August 2024

Against the backdrop of the demonization of Africana Religious Traditions (ARTs), peoples of African descent, in shame and ignorance, and seduced by the benefits of a ruthless capitalist Christianity, fail to affirm the value of their ancestral spirituality. In Jamaica and other parts of the Anglophone Caribbean, the word “Obeah”, a label for African spirituality, remains misunderstood, demonized, and criminalized as Christians consistently thwart any effort to value it. Dibịa-Professor Umeh’s spiritual oeuvre provides necessary redress to the epistemicide that fuels the continued criminalization of “Obeah”. This article presents John Umeh’s After God is Dibịa: Igbo Cosmology, Divination & Sacred Science in Nigeria, Vols. 1 and 2 as performative texts that affirm traditional African Priesthood as honorable, valuable, and necessary, while negating the myth of a superior white male god and consequent female inferiority. I explore these acts of writing the Igbo Dibịahood as sacred performances of testimony, communion and redemption. The emphasis on Dibịa ethics, I posit as offering a critique of Christian priestcraft. African defined Ọbịa rejects eurocentric impositions on the term by affirming it as a healing vocation and inclusive priesthood defined by wisdom and knowledge. Through attention to the feminine space of revival, Ọbịa balmyard, I explore similarities with continental antecedents and present female Dibịahood as a radical faith tradition that insists on the power of Nne Agwu, Mother Holy Spirit. The respell of Ọbịa through eight emanations is shown as a potent antidote against epistemicide. By affirming the sacredness of matriarchal power, the dignity of traditional Dibịahood and the ethical force of traditional knowledge, Umeh exemplifies a priest class worthy of the name.

Published: August 2024

The function of society is vital in influencing the quality of life (QOL) for the elderly population. With this context, the influence of perceived social support on enhancing the QOL among the geriatric population is substantial. This study sought to explore the relationship between perceived social support and QOL, employing a descriptive correlational study method. A multi-stage random sampling method was employed, involving 476 elderly persons. Data collection was conducted utilizing three organized interview schedules: The World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (BREF version), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Data were tabulated and subsequently analyzed using STATA version 16.0, with categorical data presented as percentages (%) and quantitative data as mean ± standard deviation. The ages of the respondents ranged from 60 to 96 years. Pearson correlation analysis assessed the associations among numerical variables, with statistical significance set at a p ≤ 0.05. The findings revealed that physical health-related QOL was lower among the elderly participants, while social relationship QOL was the highest. More importantly, the family emerged as the primary source of social support. Significant positive correlations were identified between total QOL and total social support, emphasizing the pivotal role of social support in enhancing the well-being of the elderly. The study highlighted that active social engagement is instrumental in mitigating age-related health issues. Through the sharing of experiences, elderly individuals can support each other, derive meaning in life, and collectively improve their QOL. By fostering social connections and encouraging open communication, these strategies can contribute to a more fulfilling and healthier life for the elderly population.

Bioceramic composite polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds are widely used in bone defect repair studies. Among them, bioactive glass (BG) is considered an excellent bone-based repair material due to its unique inorganic amorphous structure, bioactivity, and osseointegration properties. However, the dense pores and low specific surface area of ordinary BGs and mesoporous BGs limit the mechanical properties and bioactivity of the overall scaffolds, and it is often necessary to increase the proportion of BGs to offset these shortcomings. Here, we prepared highly active dendritic mesoporous structured bioactive glass (MBG) with a high specific surface area (457.14 m2/g) and pore volume (1.38 cm3/g) by sol-gel method. PCL scaffolds containing different percentages of MBG were prepared by three-dimensional printing technology, and the physicochemical and immunomodulatory osteogenic properties were investigated. The results showed that the low-concentration MBG/ PCL scaffolds with 10% content (10MBG/PCL) possessed the highest compressive strength (about two times that of pure PCL scaffolds) and excellent in vitro immunomodulatory osteogenic properties. Finally, 10MBG/PCL was selected for further exploration to investigate the effects of different fiber diameters (F300, F500, F800) and pore sizes (P200, P500, P800) on the scaffolds performance. Ultimately, we found that the 10MBG/PCL scaffolds with fiber diameter and pore size of 500 μm had high osteogenic potential, significantly induced macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype, and downregulated the expression of inflammatory genes and that this group was the most capable of mediating macrophage polarization and thus inducing the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to form an immune microenvironment conducive to osteogenesis. This study is a step forward in the exploration of the performance of BG composite PCL scaffolds and provides a new idea for the development of bone graft materials. 
Education fever in South Korea: Rite of passage versus children’s rights
Authors: Kim Hwayoung , Hlasny Vladimir
Published: August 2024

From enrolment in elementary school until acceptance at university, South Korean children pursue a uniform, arduous goal assigned to them by their mothers, community, and popular culture. Where this personal struggle will lead adolescents, and how, why, and at what cost? This study conceptualizes education as the rite of passage, not only for the children’s social initiation but also in their mothers’ pursuit of self-validation and self-worth. This social ritual aims to raise successful workers and righteous citizens but also inflicts various harms on the children, posing significant costs to them, their parents, and their teachers. We document evidence that youths endure various hardships and even long-term harms from being blindly and unidirectionally steered during their adolescence by their ostensibly emotionally cold “manager moms.” We assert that giving children their own voice, shifting the prevailing social norms, and reforming the educational and career-access systems would help children attain better outcomes with lower collateral damage.

Published: August 2024

En la actualidad, cada vez más se está recurriendo a la alimentación saludable y junto a ello, el consumo de los principios activos que han servido como terapéuticos en la conocida medicina tradicional. El objetivo del trabajo es aunar parte de la abundante información que existe sobre el uso del mango (Mangifera indica L.) para conocer su potencial, entender hacia donde se dirigen las investigaciones de los últimos años relacionadas con el uso de los metabolitos secundarios de este frutal, que bien podría considerarse un modelo por todas las bondades que brinda. Se ha realizado una búsqueda utilizando la metodología PRISMA para usar siempre los mismos criterios en las bases de datos SCOPUS, SciELO, REDALYC y Google Académico como motor de búsqueda. En los últimos años se han mejorado los métodos de extracción y con ello las aplicaciones y los estudios con un carácter científico, que ayudan a explicar su uso en la medicina tradicional y a proyectar su futuro, aunque es importante recalcar que falta mucho por estudiar y dilucidar al estar frente a grupos de fitoquímicos muy grandes y de acciones muy específicas, donde la biodisponibilidad es baja y debe ser tenida en cuenta cuando se trate de experimentos y tratamientos in vivo.

Funções Exponenciais e Lógica Recursiva com Torre de Hanói: Pensamento Computacional e Construcionismo
Authors: Toledo de Azevedo Greiton , Ferreira de Araújo Ulisses
Published: August 2024

Esta pesquisa analisa o processo de construção do conhecimento de funções exponenciais, empregando o desenvolvimento lógico-recursivo das peças da Torre de Hanói e transformações gráficas computacionais no contexto da formação em Matemática do Ensino Médio. Conduzido no Laboratório de Inovações do IF-Goiano, os participantes elaboraram representações de torres de Hanói e desenvolveram modelos computacionais recursivos. Os dados, provenientes de ferramentas computacionais, fotografias e entrevistas, foram analisados qualitativamente à luz do Pensamento Computacional e Construcionismo. Através da Triangulação de Dados, foram estabelecidas categorias de análise interdependentes. Os resultados indicam que a construção do conhecimento da Função Exponencial é um processo dinâmico e não-linear, que envolve a reflexão-argumentação de conceitos intuitivos-recursivos e lógicos matemáticos. A construção ocorre por meio da transição bidirecional da depuração de significados conceituais-procedimentais e algébrico-geométricos, valorizando campos semânticos compartilhados. Esses resultados reforçam a relevância de um contexto de aprendizagem intelectualmente ativo, evitando que os estudantes se tornem meros reprodutores de informações.
