Published: September 2024

Abstract. ​​​​​​​At the altitudes of the mesosphere–lower thermosphere, OH and HO2 play a significant role in many physicochemical processes. Thus, monitoring their spatiotemporal evolution, together with other chemically active trace gases, is one of the most important problems for this atmosphere region, in which direct measurements are difficult. This paper studies the nighttime OH and HO2 chemical equilibria using the 3D chemical transport modeling within the general approach, which includes the identification of the main sources and sinks in the equilibrium space–time areas and the derivation of analytical criteria for equilibrium validity. The presented analysis shows that there are extended areas where nighttime HO2 and OH are close to their local equilibrium concentrations, determined mainly by the reaction between HOx and Ox components among themselves and with H2O2, N, NO, NO2, and CO. In the upper mesosphere–lower thermosphere, the equilibrium expressions can be shortened so that they include the HOx–Ox chemistry only. These expressions describe the HO2 and OH equilibria from the top down to some boundaries, the altitude positions of which vary in the interval between 72–73 and 85 km and depend essentially on season and latitude. The developed analytical criteria reproduce the main features of these boundaries well almost everywhere. Due to weak sensitivity to uncertainties of reaction rates and other parameters, the criteria can be regarded as a robust instrument for HO2 and OH equilibrium validation. The obtained results allow us to extend previously proposed methods for the retrieval of poorly measured components from measurement data and to develop new approaches.

Nauka i religia: konflikt, czy wzajemne dopełnienie?
Authors: Pawlikowski Marek , Kucharski Dariusz
Published: September 2024

The article considers the relevance of the disputes between science and religion concerning, on the one hand, the physical image of the world provided by science and, on the other hand, the conception of the world provided by religion. These considerations focus on science in the sense of the English or French word science, encompassing the empirical and formal sciences. An important feature of scientific theories (concerning science in the sense of science) is their susceptibility to empirical falsification. However, they do not have the capability of providing answers to questions of an existential nature. Religious faith, on the other hand, answers existential questions and is not subject to empirical falsification. Nor can religious faith be a tool for falsifying scientific theories. The dispute between religion and evolutionary theory and the relationship between chance, necessity and intentionality are discussed more extensively. The mutual ‘non-falsifiability’ of science and religion does not preclude, indeed makes it desirable, their interaction. A particularly broad field of cooperation between science and religion is ethical problems, which are of particular relevance to the evaluation of the means, ends and consequences of science and technology.

Authors: Silva Filho Antonio Agostinho da
Published: September 2024

O artigo objetiva analisar como as tendências de privatização da educação no Brasil tem se apresentado nos últimos anos, à luz de uma análise documental e crítica, e apresenta uma abordagem sobre a noção de privatização endógena e exógena, discutida por Ball e Youndell (2007), junto a outras referências nacionais e internacionais. O estudo discute como vem se constituindo as parcerias público-privadas em educação a partir de contratos, concessões e diferentes formas de privatização que se materializam como um conjunto de estratégias intencionais e orientadas com base na lógica de mercado. A pesquisa identificou que existe um movimento de expansão dos processos de privatização em várias frentes da educação, na tentativa de apropriação das políticas públicas e do fundo público, configurando-se como uma arena de disputas de projetos educativos e visões de mundo que convergem para fundamentar novos sentidos ao papel do Estado.

The article substantiates the expediency of assessing the content of essential amino acids in the samples obtained during the controlled slaughter of bulls for the protein of chicken eggs as an effective means of improving the quality of the management processes for producing biologically complete products. To ascertain the biological value of beef, samples of the longest back muscle were obtained from bulls of six domestic dairy breeds (Black-and-White, Red Steppe, and Angler dairy breeds and Simmental, Lebedyn, and Gray Ukrainian dairy breeds of combined productivity) at the ages of 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21 months. The experiments were conducted using the ion-exchange liquid column chromatography method on an automatic amino acid analyser (T-339 M) manufactured by Microtechna (Czech Republic). It has been demonstrated that the biological value of meat from bulls of the studied breeds is limited during ontogeny, primarily due to age-related factors. As bulls grow older and gain weight, their meat proteins exhibit increased biological value, approaching the reference index of chicken egg proteins. The first peak in the average values of the amino acid index in beef of bulls of 12 months of age (0.89%) was followed by a consistent decrease to 15 months (0.68%) and a repeated increase in values in animals of 21 months of age (0.83%). This is mainly due to the rise in the scores for methionine by 0.16%, isoleucine by 0.16%, histidine by 0.42%, arginine by 0.18%, and threonine by 0.20%. The increase in the biological value of the remaining amino acid scores in the age trend of changes did not exceed 0.15%. The identified patterns indicate the presence of additional reserves in the near-term scenario, which can be utilised to ensure the production of high-grade beef while optimising the age parameters of slaughtering bulls of different productivity directions.

В работе приведена новая технология обработки медной проволоки. Данная технология представляет собой деформирование проволоки во вращающейся равноканальной ступенчатой матрице, после выхода из которой заготовка подвергается операции волочения. Матрица вращается вокруг оси проволоки и тем самым создает напряжение в результате равноканальной угловой протяжки и скручивания. После деформирования получена ультрамелкозернистая градиентная микроструктура, имеющая высокую составляющую высокоугловых границ зерен. Предел прочности деформированной медной проволоки по сравнению с недеформированной увеличивается более чем в два раза с 302 до 635 МПа, а предел текучести увеличивается с 196 до 406 МПа.

The paper presents a new technology for copper wire processing. This technology consists in deforming the wire in a rotating equal-channel step matrix and subsequent drawing. The matrix rotates around the axis of the wire and creates stress due to equal-channel angular broaching and twisting in the matrix. The results of the laboratory experiment show that after deformation an ultrafine grained gradient microstructure with a high component of high-angle grain boundaries was obtained. The tensile strength of deformed copper wire in comparison with undeformed wire was increased from 302 to 635 MPa, and the yield strength was increased from 196 to 406 MPa.

Current Understanding of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Drug Resistances and Diagnostics in Indonesia: A Review
Authors: Rahayu Ayu , Rovik Anwar , Turnip Oktaviani Naulita
Published: September 2024

Tuberculosis is a significant global infectious disease cause of mortality, with 25% of the world's population caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The highest case recorded was 821,200 cases in 2023 over one decade. Drug resistance significantly impacts tuberculosis treatment and has been observed since the first drug discovery, streptomycin. In Indonesia, drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is a significant public health issue, with an estimated 24,666 cases recorded in 2022. A comparative literature search was conducted using various articles, including research studies, guidelines, narrative reviews, reports, and meta-analyses, with the inclusion criteria for reference sources including ten years of published articles. Drug resistance in TB can reduce treatment success rate and increase therapy duration. In the result, several general mechanisms proposed for drug resistance in Mtb include efflux pump, enzyme inactivation, permeability barrier, mutations in drug-target genes, and epigenetics. Currently, TB treatment in Indonesia involves combination therapy using three or more types of drugs, such as rifampicin and isoniazid. The International Standard for TB Care (ISTC) serves as the basis for TB diagnosis in Indonesia, which involves a combination of clinical and laboratory tests. Early diagnosis and universal access to the Drug Susceptibility Test (DST) are crucial for TB resistance. In Indonesia, several diagnostic methods, such as sequencing, PCR testing, Gene Xpert, and culture, can be used to identify TB resistance. Understanding the mechanisms of drug resistance and developing effective diagnosis strategies for TB resistance is crucial for managing global infection.

Luka merupakan permasalahan kesehatan dengan tingkat kejadian yang sering terjadi di Indonesia. Pemberian terapi berbahan herbal dapat menjadi salah satu alternatif dalam penyembuhan luka. Sirih merah (Piper crocatum) dan sirih hijau (Piper betle L.) mempunyai berbagai senyawa metabolit sekunder yang berperan dalam penyembuhan luka sayatan pada kulit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas sediaan patch kombinasi ekstrak daun sirih merah dan daun sirih hijau terhadap penyembuhan luka sayat. Hewan coba dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok perlakuan yaitu kontrol positif (plaster povidone iodine), kontrol negatif patch tanpa ekstrak, dan kelompok dengan ekstrak pada beberapa konsentrasi (7,5%, 15% dan 30%). Beberapa parameter yang dilakukan dengan pengukuran panjang luka, pengamatan waktu penyembuhan luka dan infeksi lokal berdasarkan kriteria Nagaoka. Sediaan patch kombinasi ekstrak daun sirih merah dan daun sirih hijau secara statistik tidak menunjukkan perbedaan bermakna terhadap efektivitas dalam penyembuhan luka yang dinilai berdasarkan kriteria Nagaoka dengan beberapa parameter penilaian luka. Namun, pengamatan secara makroskopis pada kelompok K2 (konsentrasi 15%) menunjukkan terjadinya penyembuhan luka yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan kelompok plaster povidone iodine. Wounds are a health problem that is a frequent occurrence in Indonesia. Providing herbal therapy can be an alternative for healing wounds. Red betel (Piper crocatum) and green betel (Piper betle L.) have various secondary metabolite compounds that play a role in healing wounds of skin incisions. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a combination patch preparation of red betel leaf extract and green betel leaf in healing cuts on the skin. The experimental animals were divided into five treatment groups: positive control (povidone-iodine plaster), negative control patch without extract, and groups with extract at several concentrations (7.5%, 15%, and 30%). Several parameters were measured by measuring wound length and observing wound healing time and local infection based on the Nagaoka criteria. The combination patch preparation of red betel leaf extract and green betel leaf extract did not statistically show a significant difference in effectiveness in wound healing as assessed based on the Nagaoka criteria with several wound assessment parameters. However, macroscopic observation in the K2 group (concentration 15%) showed better wound healing compared to the povidone-iodine plaster group.

Published: September 2024

Investments in human capital are the right directions for national development as those invested in today become the carrier of the genes that trigger the national development of the state and the right foundation for achieving this vision is through investments in early childhood care and education. Early childhood care and education is beneficial in many ways: learners who go through it develop receptive dispositions towards learning and education, in addition to quickly internalizing behaviours that are conducive and supportive of robust and vibrant academic pursuits and achievements. Regrettably early childhood care and education in Nigeria is exclusively in the hands of the private sector where its provision has become commercialized and elitist as not many parents can afford to pay the fees for their children. Using the philosophical methodology, this paper discusses the place of early childhood care and education in the national development of states particularly Nigeria and attributes Nigeria’s neglect and lackadaisical attitudes towards early childhood care and education to be the root cause of Nigeria’s national development predicaments and challenges. The paper makes recommendations, part of which is that the Nigerian state should adopt early childhood care and education as a means of implementing inclusive and social justice policy and that private sector investors who provide essential service that government ought to provide like Early childhood care and education should be handsomely compensated among others.

Transforming Early Childhood Education in Karang Tinggi District: Strategies for Overcoming Bias and Promoting Inclusivity (How Can We Achieve This?)
Authors: Putra Ari
Published: September 2024

This study explores the challenges and strategies in transforming early childhood education (ECE) in Karang Tinggi District, with a focus on addressing bias and promoting inclusivity. The research employs qualitative methods, utilizing data collection techniques through observation and interviews. It identifies several key barriers to the implementation of inclusive education in ECE, including a narrow understanding of inclusivity, the lack of specialized training for educators, limited facilities, and insufficient supportive policies. The findings reveal that many educators hold a limited view of inclusivity, often focusing solely on children with severe disabilities, while broader needs for inclusivity—such as sociocultural diversity and different learning needs—are frequently overlooked. Additionally, the lack of specific training on inclusive strategies and inadequate facilities further impede the implementation of equitable education. This study implements treatments through several strategies to address the challenges faced by educators, one of which is strengthening educators' understanding through training aimed at developing inclusive conceptions in ECE institutions, and providing resources to support a range of play-based activities for children in ECE services. By applying these strategies, ECE institutions in Karang Tinggi District are able to create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment, providing equal opportunities for every child to reach their full potential, free from bias or discrimination.

Design of an Iterative Method for Collaborative Resource Management using MAPPO and Federated Learning in 5G Networks
Authors: A.VenkataMahesh
Published: September 2024

With the increasing real-world deployment of 5G networks and proliferation of heterogeneous IoT devices, an efficient resource management becomes inescapable to handle dynamic and diverse traffic demands. In conventional ways, resource allocation and model training in 5G networks become cumbersome due to scalability, heterogeneity, and cross-domain adaptability. They cannot capture the collaboration among base stations, personalization of IoT devices, and variational urban and rural network scenes. To overcome these limitations, in this work a novel amalgamation of Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization, Task-Aware Personalized Federated Learning, and Domain-Adaptive Transfer Learning is proposed for the collaborative resource management, heterogeneous task learning, and cross-domain optimization in 5G and IoT networks. Preliminary, that is, the extension of Proximal Policy Optimization to multi-agent settings enables multiple base stations to cooperate on finding the optimal strategy of bounded latency, high-throughput, and network congestion. TA-PFed updates models for task-specific training among heterogeneous IoT devices such as sensors and cameras to become specialized in their respective tasks while leveraging the shared knowledge from the global models. It reduces the communication cost and enhances privacy by limiting data sharing. DATL thus allows the knowledge transfer across network environments, hence fastening resource management optimization in new domains (e.g., rural networks) without extensive retraining. These all enable addressing three important challenges: collaborative resource allocation, personalized learning for diverse IoT tasks, and fast adaptation across domains, each addressed in 5G networks using the proposed fusion approach. Numerical results indicate enormous gains: 45% gain in endtoend network throughput, 30-35% reduction in latency, 20-25% reduction in packet loss, and 90% reduction in privacy risk. Besides that, there is a 50% reduction in cross-domain adaptation time and 40% reduction in the data transmission cost. It lays the foundation for future 5G and IoT deployments, which scale with diversified and dynamic network environments efficiently while preserving data privacy.
Validation of Size of Semiconductor Nano Material: Effect on Size and Shape
Authors: H V  Ganvir
Published: September 2024

A formulation is provided for the band gap energy of semiconductor compound nanomaterials (SCNs), which is dependent on their size and shape. The theoretical model is based upon the measure of cohesive energy shown by nanocrystals in relation to bulk crystals. The investigation of size- and shape-dependent band gap energy has been conducted on semiconductor compounds including CdSe, CdTe, ZnS, ZnSe, and ZnTe. Band gap energy of single-crystal nanoparticles (SCN) is determined by the size and form of the particles. Based on the model, it is predicted that the band gap energy of semiconductor nanomaterials rises as their particle size decreases. This study compares the generated findings with the existing experimental data, which confirm the accuracy of the provided model.

University-based centers and institutes can play an important role in facilitating community-based, inter- and transdisciplinary research, and providing the capacity and expertise to address pressing issues. However, many centers and institutes face challenges related to long-term stability and resili­ence. In this paper we share recommendations on how to support centers and institutes that focus on food systems transformation. We drew these rec­ommendations from insights and stories shared by leaders of nine diverse centers and institutes that participate in the Inter-Institutional Network for Food, Agriculture, and Sustainability (INFAS). We discuss how they are structured, the work they have done, and the benefits of that work, as well as the challenges they have faced and what they rec­ommend for addressing those challenges. Their primary challenges include cultivating the support of university administrators and faculty, hiring and retaining supportive faculty, and securing sustaina­ble funding. We provide a diverse range of recom­mendations to address each of these challenges, with the hope that other centers and institutes can find some that will be relevant to their particular institutional, social, and political contexts.

Background and purpose：Taking the medical terminology course is usually problematic for students with worse language learning confidence. Content and lan-guage-integrated learning (CLIL) is a student-centered and practical teaching ap-proach. Few studies have examined the effect of CLIL on students’ confidence while learning medical terminology. This study explored the influence of CLIL on the stu-dent’s confidence in the medical terminology course. Methods：This study was quasi-experimental with a convenience sample that used a single-group, pre-post research design. This research was conducted at a university in northern Taiwan. The demographics, learning confidence, academic performance, and student satisfaction were evaluated using the structured questionnaire. Levels of learning confidence were analyzed by using the generalized estimating equation. Results：A total of 36 undergraduate students were recruited. Academic performance on the midterm was positively correlated with learning confidence on the final test (p = .033). With learning confidence divided into four subscales, the scores of skills enhancements, goal achievement, and speaking confidence showed an increase between the pretest and midterm (p < .001, < .001, and < .001, respectively) and between the pretest and final test (p = .033, .005, and < .001, respectively). Conclusions：This result identi-fied the benefit of teaching medical terminology via CLIL based on improving stu-dents’ learning confidence. CLIL is a practical design for enhancing students’ confi-dence in the medical terminology course.

本篇病例報告探討一位67歲男性，因心律無法隨生理需要而加快，而裝設心臟節律器以治療竇性心搏過緩。透過極限心肺運動測試，研究病人在不同的心臟節律器設定下，對比閉環刺激(Closed loop stimulation,縮寫為CLS)和雙腔式感應起博(Dual chamber pacemaker, 縮寫為 DDD)模式所呈現的最大攝氧量、無氧閾值、活動代謝當量的變化。結果顯示，使用CLS模式下病人的最大攝氧量由11.86進步至16.15每分鐘每公斤每毫升，達百分之36的變化。本研究結果顯示，通過改變心臟節律器模式為閉環刺激可提高心律無法隨生理需要而加快之患者的運動能力。

 

This case report describes a 67-year-old male who underwent pacemaker im-plantation for bradycardia and was diagnosed with chronotropic incompetence after exercise stress test revealed a maximal heart rate less than 80% of predicted heart rate. The study evaluated the patient’s exercise capacity using cardiopulmonary ex-ercise (CPX) testing before and after the pacemaker adjustment, from DDD (dual chamber sensing; dual chamber pacing; dual chamber inhibition and stimulation of pacing with movement detection) to CLS (closed loop stimulation) mode. The re-sults of the study showed that the patient’s maximal aerobic capacity improved sig-nificantly from 11.86 to 16.15 ml/min/kg or 3.4 to 4.6 MET after changing the pacemaker mode, indicating an improvement in aerobic capacity. The patient re-ported a better quality of life after the adjustment. The study highlights the influence of cardiac pacing modes on the heart rate response to physical exercise, and how CLS pacemakers are designed to be more sensitive towards exercise detection, which can increase heart rate accordingly. Few studies have used CPX testing to evaluate exercise capacity in patients with chronotropic incompetence, and this case report provides evidence that changing pacemaker settings to CLS mode can im-prove aerobic capacity and thus improve the patient’s quality of life.
