Authors: Rifani Endang , Sugiyo Sugiyo , Purwanto Edy
Published: April 2021

Academic dishonesty is a morality problem that is often found in every level of education. It becomes a concern among guidance and counseling practitioner in the educational context. Regarding previous studies, spiritual-religious attitudes and moral disengagement predict individuals’ academic dishonesty. To complete the gap of those studies, the current study investigated the role of moral disengagement to mediate the relationship between spiritual-religious attitudes and academic dishonesty in university students. There were 292 respondents from four universities in Semarang participated in this study. The authors used a cross-sectional study and utilized google form to collect the data. The authors conducted three analyses, regression-based path analysis, mediation analysis using bias-corrected and bootstrapping. The results showed that there was a direct relationship among all variables, but they're found no mediation effect on moral disengagement. These findings imply the importance of counseling services to preserve students’ morality so they could avoid academic dishonesty.

Published: April 2021

The thickness of the liquefable layer can be the factor inducing liquefaction hazard, apart from seismicity. Several studies have been conducted to predict the possibility of the liquefable layer based on the filed sampling. However, a detailed investigation of the subsurface interpretation has not been defined, in particular the thickness estimation of the liquefable layer. This study is carried out in south Cilacap area where potential liquefaction is exists due to the earthquake history data and near surface condition. The aim of this study is to investigate the physical properties and thickness distribution using GGMplus gravity data and resistivity data. This research is conducted by spectrum analysis of gravity model and 2D resistivity model . This study’s main results is by performing the residual gravity anomaly with the associated SRTM/DEM data to define the subsurface physical distribution and structural orientation of the area. Residual gravity anomaly is also separated through the low pass filter in order to have robust interpretation. The residual anomaly indicates that the area has identical structural pattern with geological and SRTM map. The results show a pattern of high gravity index in the northeast area of ​​the study having range of 70 – 115 MGal gravity index, associated with the volcanic breccia, and a low gravity profile with less than 65 in the southwest, associated with the alluvial and water table dominated distribution. The thickness of Alluvial is determined by resistivity model with H1 at a range of 3 meters and H2 at a range of 4 m. This research is included in the potential liquefaction category with the potential for a large earthquake.

Theoretical Studies of Furan and Thiophene Nanothreads: Structures, Cycloaddition Barriers and Activation Volumes
Authors: Chen Bo , Crespi Vincent , Hoffmann Roald
Published: April 2021

In this theoretical study we examine several aspects of the formation, structure, and stability of the most ordered nanothreads yet made, those derived from furan and thiophene. First, we look at the enthalpic consequences and activation barriers of the first two steps of oligomerization by a Diels-Alder mechanism. The ca. 20 kcal/mol difference in the synthetic pressures (furan lower) is explainable in terms of greater loss of aromaticity by the thiophene. Subsequent steps have understandably lower barriers. We show explicitly how pressure affects the reaction profiles, operating through the volume decrease in the transition state and onward to the product molecule. The interesting option of polymerization proceeding in one or two directions opens up the possibility of polymers with two opposing and cumulative dipole moments. The computed activation volumes are consistently more negative for likely initial furan (compared with thiophene) polymerization steps, in accord with the lower onset pressure of furan polymerization. In the second part of our study we examine the energetics of the likely polymers. Three ordered polymer structures compete in enthalpy -- a syn one, with all O/S on the same side, an anti one, S/O alternating, and a syn-anti isomer, with segments of four monomers repeating. The syn polymer, if not allowed to distort, is at high enthalpy relative to the other two. The origin of the destabilization is apparent, being S/O lone-pair repulsion, understandably greater for S than O at the 2.8/2.6Å separation. Set free, the syn isomers curve or arc, in two- or three-dimensional (helical) ways, whose energetics are traced in detail. The syn polymer can also stabilize itself by the thread twisting into zig-zag or helical enthalpic minima. Release of strain in a linear thread as the pressure is relaxed to 1 atm, with consequent thread curving, is a likely mechanism for the observed loss of crystalline order in the polymer as it is returned to ambient pressure.

Published: April 2021

The ultimate goal of treatment for osteoarthritis can be achieved by modifying disease progression and also symptom reduction. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors are inflammation and pain management medications that are widely used in osteoarthritis. However, this agent has been linked to have several side effects such as cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and kidney. These side effects represent the unmet needs in the safety of existing treatment of osteoarthritis. Such results can be caused by the overlapping functions of COX-1 and COX-2 in physiological and pathophysiological systems. The overlapping functions of COX-1 and COX-2 can be the source of these side effects. The extensive history of the use of curcuminoids and boswellia in pain relief coupled with recent findings shows that this phytochemical can play a direct role in several inflammatory processes and offers strong evidence that this product can slow down cartilage degradation and reduce pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Our study indicated that by reducing pain and improving function, while lowering the risk of side effects, curcuminoid formulations might become a useful addition to osteoarthritis patients for pharmacological therapeutic interventions. However, further research is needed with high-quality and large-scale RCT research probably to investigates the synergistic effects of these products with other osteoarthritis treatments.

Authors: Puspita Fitri Maya , Wulandari Ayu , Yuliza Evi , Sitepu Robinson , Yunita Yunita
Published: April 2021

In this article, a multi-link internet reverse charging (IRC) scheme model in a multi-service network with the addition of a bundling strategy is proposed. Reverse charging schemes in multi-link and multi-service networks are rarely discussed in previous studies. This financing scheme is designed with the aim of maximizing service provider profits by minimizing internet usage costs. The basic cost and satisfaction level of the service provided by the ISP is focused on this effort. The model formed in this study is a Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) model that is completed using software LINGO 13.0. This problem comprises two cases, when α case as a parameter and β as a parameter and or variable with sub–cases   increases in usage based financing schemes. Thus, the results obtained can be a consideration for ISPs in determining the price of services that can support an ISP. The updated IRC model provides a more optimal solution than the original IRC model.

Published: April 2021

Wood defects detection has been studied a lot recently to detect the defects on the wood surface and assist the manufacturers in having a clear wood to be used to produce a high-quality product. Therefore, the defects on the wood affect and reduce the quality of wood. This research proposes an effective feature extraction technique called the local binary pattern (LBP) with a common classifier called Support Vector Machine (SVM). Our goal is to classify the natural defects on the wood surface. First, preprocessing was applied to convert the RGB images into grayscale images. Then, the research applied the LBP feature extraction technique with eight neighbors (P=8) and several radius (R) values. After that, we apply the SVM classifier for the classification and measure the proposed technique's performance. The experimental result shows that the average accuracy achieved is 65% on the balanced dataset with P=8 and R=1. It indicates that the proposed technique works moderately well to classify wood defects. This study will consequently contribute to the overall wood defect detection framework, which generally benefits the automated inspection of the wood defects.
Reversible difference expansion multi-layer data hiding technique for medical images

Published: April 2021

Maintaining the privacy and security of confidential information in data communication has always been a major concern. It is because the advancement of information technology is likely to be followed by an increase in cybercrime, such as illegal access to sensitive data. Several techniques were proposed to overcome that issue, for example, by hiding data in digital images. Reversible data hiding is an excellent approach for concealing private data due to its ability to be applied in various fields. However, it yields a limited payload and the quality of the image holding data (Stego image), and consequently, these two factors may not be addressed simultaneously. This paper addresses this problem by introducing a new non-complexity difference expansion (DE) and block-based reversible multi-layer data hiding technique constructed by exploring DE. Sensitive data are embedded into the difference values calculated between the original pixels in each block with relatively low complexity. To improve the payload capacity, confidential data are embedded in multiple layers of grayscale medical images while preserving their quality. The experiment results prove that the proposed technique has increased the payload with an average of 369999 bits and kept the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) to the average of 36.506 dB using medical images' adequate security the embedded private data. This proposed method has improved the performance, especially the secret size, without reducing much the quality. Therefore, it is suitable to use for relatively big payloads.
Food-Medicine Interface and its Application in International Level, Comparative Jurisdictions and Sri Lankan Legal Context
Authors: Hettiarachchi Charith Amidha , Wijesinghe Sanath Sameera
Published: April 2021

There has been a growing interest in the Food-medicine interface due to its legal and commercial importance with the development of both food and medicine industries. Food and medicine--even though some foods have therapeutic (curative or preventive) properties--are two different entities, regulated by different legal regimes. Hence, the distinction between food and medicine is crucial in order to protect the interests of consumers. This study is a doctrinal review on the food-medicine interface at international level with particular reference to its application in the Sri Lankan context.

There seems to be a lack of global policy consensus or coherent legal regime regarding the food-medicine interface, and the same is true for Sri Lanka. Both Western and Ayurveda drugs are registered with the competent authorities in Sri Lanka: The National Medicines Regulatory Authority and Ayurveda Department, respectively. To register a food as a drug, these authorities can use two criteria: 1. recognised medicinal properties and 2. therapeutic (curative or preventive) purpose of consumption. The registration of a food commodity by these two competent authorities can be taken as a criterion to identify them as medicines thus, to differentiate them in a legal sense from food per se. From a legal perspective, any food not registered by one of these two authorities--irrespective of their therapeutic (curative or preventive) benefits—is considered to be simply a food. This demarcation of the food-medicine interface could be used by industries for the purpose of marketing strategies and law enforcing officers for the purposes of law enforcement.
Good Questions 14: Is feeding with infant formula much worse than breastfeeding?
Authors: Kent George
Published: April 2021

Is infant feeding with formula much worse than breastfeeding? It’s complicated, so this essay explores the evidence and ways to think about it.

 There is a clear global consensus that in any population, feeding with infant formula is not as good as breastfeeding for infants’ health and also for their mothers’ health. Infant formula manufacturers agree. Nevertheless, there is an ongoing debate about when feeding with infant formula might be acceptable.

 Undoubtedly, compliance with the global recommendations for optimum breastfeeding is low partly because many new parents and policymakers believe there is little difference between the health impacts of breastfeeding and feeding with formula. It is important to consider not only the ranking of alternative methods of infant feeding but also the degree of difference between them. Is the difference small and unimportant or substantial and important to consider when choosing among the options? There should be an orderly way to take account of not only the relevant scientific knowledge, but also parents’ views and circumstances related to infant feeding.
The Impact of Covid-19 on Food Security. A qualitative analysis of the rise in London’s existing food insecurity due to the financial impact of Covid-19
Authors: Geyser Leandra
Published: April 2021

Background: The lockdown, enforced by government to limit the spread of Covid-19, has resulted in economic standstill equating to decreased working hours, pay cuts and job losses which has caused an increase in food insecurity. In the latest global food security report, 3.4 million people in the UK alone were found to be moderately to severely food insecure. Since the lockdown began, 8 million people have reported food insecurity which disproportionately effects those most vulnerable. This study aims to determine who these vulnerable groups to food insecurity are in the UK and what needs to be done to facilitate positive change and minimise future inequalities.

Methods: This observational quantitative study makes use of the Understanding Society Covid-19 survey data which forms part of a longstanding longitudinal study that has acted as a representative of all households within the UK since 2009. Access to raw data was granted by the UK Data Service and was analysed using the appropriate SPSS tests. The original sample was stratified to be representative of London, which then consisted of 1849 respondents. Selected questions relating to financial and food bank use were analysed using SPSS and compared between February (pre-lockdown) and April (post-lockdown).

Results: Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) respondents and those not born in the UK had significantly less monthly income than their counterparts in February and remained significantly lower during the lockdown. These groups also had an increased dependency on foodbanks since the start of the pandemic.

Conclusion: BAME communities and those not born in the UK are revealed to be the most vulnerable groups to food insecurity. The government has taken steps to mitigate the negative financial impact of the pandemic for some, yet many had to rely on non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to fill in the gaps. The current health crisis provides an opportunity for change and the UK government should act now to prevent many more becoming victims to food insecurity.

Authors: Samuel Folake Olukemi , Adenekan Rashidat Abosede , Adeoye Ikeola Adejoke , Okekunle Akinkunmi Paul
Published: April 2021

Background: Studies exploring adolescent dietary patterns (DP) and nutritional status often focus on in-school adolescents with limited data on out-of-school adolescents.

Methods: We sampled 190 out-of-school adolescents on an apprenticeship in Agbowo community, Ibadan, Nigeria. Anthropometric measurements, weight (kg), and height (cm) were taken (to determine the height-for-age and body-mass-index-for-age z-scores) using the WHO AnthroPlus and WHO cut-off points to classify stunting and overweight/obesity. The frequency of food consumption was assessed using an 84-item food frequency questionnaire. The DP was extrapolated using principal component analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the relationship between sociodemographic variables, anthropometric indices, and DP at P<0.05.

Results: Mean age was 16.9±1.9 years, 61.6% were females and 58.4% had mothers who had at least secondary education. Overall, 12.1% were stunted and 9.5% were overweight/obese. Stunting was significantly more prevalent (P=0.005) among males (20.5%) than females (6.8%). Males had higher odds for stunting [OR: 3.48 (1.39, 8.75) P=0.008], and a lower odds of adhering to a ‘healthy’ DP; [OR: 0.42 (0.22, 0.80), P=0.009]. Also, adolescents with mothers who had at least a secondary school education were less likely to adhere to an ‘unhealthy’ DP [0.26 (0.11, 0.59), P=0.001].

Conclusion: Targeted nutrition education is needed to address unhealthy dietary patterns, particularly among out-of-school adolescent boys.

Published: April 2021

Background: Despite the well-documented significance of EBF in developing countries, many poor communities still present with the highest percentage of disease burden resulting from suboptimal breastfeeding.

Objectives: To identify the maternal perception on barriers and facilitators to EBF in Gwanda District, Zimbabwe.

Methods: Five focused group discussions were conducted using 40 purposively-selected mothers while eight in-depth key informant interviews were also conducted. The qualitative data collected were analyzed using thematic network analysis. The themes were used in interpreting the perceived barriers and facilitators of EBF.

Results: The study identified individual, socio-cultural, health service-related and environmental factors as the basic themes influencing maternal infant feeding choice. These were grouped into two organizing themes, namely, barriers and facilitators of EBF which were summarized into one global theme: EBF intention. Facilitating factors were maternal autonomy, self-efficacy, knowledge of EBF definition, maternal diet, support and sourcing information from healthcare workers. Poor infant feeding practices, affordability of alternative infant feeding options, ritualistic/symbolic infant preparations, family conflicts, increased workload and hot climate were barriers to EBF.

Conclusion: To increase in uptake of EBF in the study area required comprehensive multiple stakeholder interventions incorporating the mothers, influential family members, religion and traditional advisors, and healthcare workers.

Authors: Priyanto Panji
Published: April 2021

The purpose of this study was to examine whether or not the GARP in selecting the stock portfolios can provide a more stable growth rate of return when compared to the value stock and growth stock as well as to examine the stock return on value stock and growth stock based on the changes in its fundamentals. The population in this study was all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (known as IDX) in the period of 2015-2019. The samples were selected using a comparative-quantitative approach and consisted of 20 companies: seven companies included in the value stock portfolio category and ten companies included in the portfolio category. Growth stock and three companies were included in the GARP's stock portfolio category. The formation of stock portfolios in the company's fundamentals was based on price to book value ratio, price-earnings ratio, and price-earnings growth ratio. This study used the ANOVA method equipped with SPSS by performing four tests: Homogeneity of Variance, Between-Subject, Post Hoc, and Homogenous Subset test. The results of this study show that there were differences in the portfolio return of value stocks, growth stocks, and GARP stocks on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period of 2015-2019. Meanwhile, the GARP investment strategy was stable for the growth when compared to the value investment and growth investment in the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period of 2015-2019. The implementation of GARP concept in managing the investment portfolios and criteria for choosing the stocks have the profitable growth, first in forming the GARP because investors in the stock market tend to expect obtaining high investment returns with a limited time horizon. The implementation of GARP concept has prevented the investors from the value trap because the GARP strategy is a hybrid solution for the growth stock and value stock, thus. The GARP investors will experience a combination of returns

Published: April 2021

The decisions made by the management in recording the amount of selling inventory in the year before the real year are as important as determining and defining the economic order size in the inventory management system. However, studies on accounting management, accounting education, and even operational management did not sufficiently discuss and evaluate such procedures to consider whether or not manipulations, frauds, or mistakes were made by the management. An obvious understanding to determine this kind of action by the managers considered as a vital element to the accounting education is represented in the recent study on the accounting postgraduate students by identifying their opinions in determining and describing whether the inventory management is weak or not and there are violations or not. The recent study is considered qualitative conducted by asking questions to 32 accounting postgraduate students regarding to the weaknesses of inventory management. The findings show that inventory management was not appropriately conducted and there were several problems and violations made by the sales managers. The other findings show that management inventory was used by the sales managers to sell the inventory in line with promoting their interests as they apply an earning management behavior. The findings also demonstrate that such case is not considered as a fraud but as a manipulation behavior.

The influence of globalization on applied linguistics has recently generated considerable debate. With the advent of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) at the start of the twentyfirst century, many theoreticians and practitioners have accentuated the ICC perspectives and its incorporation into teaching language skills. This mixed methods research study tries to verify whether instruction on ICC encourages Iranian advanced EFL learners to incorporate ICC in their writings, and whether gender plays any role in the tendency to use that competence. To this end, 33 male and female Iranian advanced EFL learners were chosen via an Oxford Placement Test and then placed in two experimental classes. All the participants received a five-week instruction on ICC in a writing class at a private language institute in Rasht, Iran. The data analyzed via T-tests, content analysis technique, and η revealed that instruction on ICC assisted learners in coping with intercultural issues differently in their writing; however, gender did not play any role in using the ICC in writing. This study can shine a light on the writing course and language teaching in general and teaching how to incorporate ICC in writing in particular.

This is an empirical study of professional competencies. The article addresses two main tasks: the demands of the labor market presented to specialists in the field of trade and marketing; and the identification of the professional competencies formed by the standard for the preparation of FSES HE 3+ and whether it meets the modern requirements of employers. Two hypotheses are investigated: (i) can the competencies inherent in the educational standard develop the necessary skills required by this profession in the modern labor market; and (ii) do the professional competencies reflect the necessary personal qualities demanded by employers. The analysis shows that the educational standard of the FSES HE 3+ is rather poorly adapted to the modern requirements of the labor market. As a rule the professional competencies in it develop a specialist who is ready to engage in his own entrepreneurial activity, while the training of such personnel is carried out at the expense of the state budget. This implies the need to work in large organizations and to possess a wider set of skills, including the ability for expert and analytical work, systemic thinking, etc. The increasing innovation in high-tech industries as Russia moves towards a digital economy will increase the demand for labor marketers who have design, engineering, visualization and skills for working with BigData. It is these skills that should be integrated into the new FSES of HE3 ++ to train a specialist o meet the requirements of the 21st century.
Design Response Spectra Based on Earthquake Hazard Maps and Specific Soil Properties at Indonesian Ports According to SNI 1726 2019
Authors: Surya Permana Christino Boyke
Published: April 2021

Indonesia has a new seismic code, namely SNI 1726 2019 (SNI 2019). It is developed based on the 2017 Indonesian Earthquake Source, Hazard Maps, and ASCE 7-16. This paper is intended to explain the procedure for calculating response spectrum according to SNI 1726 2019, at ten ports located in Indonesia. The results are then verified with the software RSA2019.  Furthermore, it will be compared to SNI 1726 2012 (SNI 2012) to see the difference in spectral acceleration value (Sa). The result presents that the ports located in Sorong and Banggai have the highest Sa, whereas the port in Banjarmasin has the smallest value. Port in Surabaya and Tuban have nearly the same Sa due to their close location, while Banyuwangi has a Sa value slightly above them. The ports in Padang, Lampung, and Penajam must use a specific site response analysis to determine the design response spectra, which is not discussed in this paper. The comparison with SNI 2012 shows that the response spectra of SNI 2019 have a higher Sa than SNI 2012. However, in some areas such as Tuban and Sorong, the Sa of SNI 2012 at 0.1 to 0.6 s period are larger than SNI 2019.

To stimulate catch production and wise management patterns, research is carried out on the study of ecological aspects, estimates of population dynamics and exploitation rates of crayfish (Panulirus Spp) in the Spermonde waters of the Makassar Strait.  Based on the COA (Correspondence Analysis) (Ludwig and Reynold, 1988), as well as the analysis of Von Bertalanffy (1938, in Sparre et al., 1989), it was found that the micro-habitat of Panulirus spp., Generally co-exist with massive coral species Alcyonaria (Sarcophyton, Heliophora , and Tubipora), and branching reefs of the Acropora species (Goniopora and Pavona), as well as living with algal grass species of Caulerpa and Halimeda. The growth pattern of Panulirus lobster follows the equation Lt = 46.3561 (1- e -0.1738 (t + 1.7827)), which means that the length decreases at relatively old age. The total mortality coefficient (Z) of population is 0.5066/year, this is relatively the same as the ideal mortality (M) which means optimal utilization, but it is necessary to select catch sizes that are larger than 24 - 27cm (in the range of 34 - 46cm).

The law enforcement of corruption crimes that have been carried out so far only illustrates success in uncovering, arresting, detaining, prosecuting and convicted of the perpetrators who are found guilty. Still, it has not demonstrated success in eradicating corruption crimes widely. So that the success of such efforts creates a perception that Indonesia's corruption crimes are increasing, with this fact, what is illustrated is that Indonesia is a corrupt country. This is undoubtedly a contradiction with the expected goal of eradicating corruption crimes. The purpose of this article is to analyze corrupt law enforcement policies in Indonesia. This article concludes that amid national development efforts in various fields, the public's aspirations in eradicating corruption and any form are increasing because sin has caused enormous losses to the State, which could impact the emergence of crises in various fields. To overcome this, it is necessary to implement penal and non-penal policies to prevent criminal acts of corruption. Thus, the use of correctional and non-penal facilities must go hand in hand in overcoming corruption crimes

Working children may create problem since it relates to human right as well as to the development of children especially in getting sufficient education. This paper discusses determinant factors of working children by using conditional logistics regression for matched pairs data. Matching is employed to adjust confounding factors and to avoid bias. In this paper there are three confounding factors that have been considered, i.e. residential area, gender, and income of household head. The results showed that the conditional regression model outperformed the standard regression model. The number of household members, whether the head of household was married or single, age of the head of household, educational attainment of the head of household, as well as the work status of the head of household were the determinant factors of the working children.

Forensic analysts are more than ever facing challenges upon conducting their deep investigative analysis on digital devices due to the technological progression. Of these are the difficulties present upon analyzing web browser artefacts as this became more complicated when web browser companies introduced private browsing mode, a feature aiming to protect users’ data upon opening a private browsing session, by leaving no traces of data on the local device used. Aiming to investigate whether the claims of web browser companies are true concerning the protection private browsing provides to the users and whether it really doesn’t leave any browsing data behind, the most popular desktop browsers in Windows were analyzed after surfing them regularly and privately. The results shown in this paper suggest that the privacy provided varies among different companies since evidence might be recovered from some of the browsers but not from others.
The relationship between scapular endurance and core endurance in elite amputee football players
Authors: GUNAYDIN GURKAN
Published: April 2021

Background: Body structure constitutes a kinetic chain with thoracolumbar fascia and this chain may induce a relationship between scapular and spinal stabilizers. Amputee soccer players use crutches during the game and, considering that the crutch use may also activate different muscle groups, the possibility of the relationship between scapular and spinal stabilizers becomes important for organizing training programs. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between scapular endurance and core endurance in elite amputee players. Material and methods: Fifteen male amputee national football team players took part in the study. The players’ scapular endurance was evaluated by a dynamometer, and the modified side bridge test was used to evaluate core endurance. Results: The relationship between scapular and core endurance was investigated via the Linear Regression Model. The analysis revealed a positive association between scapular endurance and core endurance (B: 0.501, β: 0.561, p: 0.029). Conclusions: This study shows the relationship between scapular and core endurance in amputee football players. Given the assumptions about scapular and core endurance weakness, including scapular muscle exercises along with core exercises in the training programs might be useful for improving performance.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of purslane supplementation on oxidative stress, inflammation and muscle damage biomarkers after completing high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE). Methods: Nine healthy female runners completed a HIIE treadmill protocol comprising 1 min at 100% of the peak treadmill velocity attained in a preliminary exhaustive incremental treadmill test, interspersed by 1 min of passive recovery, until they had run for 2.5 km. Athletes repeated this test following 10 days of supplementation with 1000 mg per day of purslane. Results: At baseline (i.e., absence of purslane supplementation) the HIIE protocol increased 9-HODE (p < 0.001), 13-HODE (p < 0.001), IL-17 (p < 0.001), TNF-α (p < 0.001), and LDH (p < 0.001). After purslane consumption, resting 9-HODE, 13-HODE, IL-17, TNF-α, and LDH were lowered (p < 0.001) and IL-10 was increased (p < 0.001) compared to before purslane supplementation. After purslane consumption and following the HIIE protocol, the responses of these biomarkers were lower compared to baseline (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Ten days of purslane supplementation blunted the perturbation to biomarkers of oxidative stress, inflammation and muscle damage in female runners completing a HIIE protocol.
Skeletal muscle index and its association with mobility among community‐dwelling older women
Authors: OSSOWSKI ZBIGNIEW M.
Published: April 2021

Background: The loss of muscle function and reduced mobility levels are the main reasons for the limitations of independence and disability in older people. The main aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the skeletal muscle index and mobility in older women. Material and methods: ‪The study involved 166 older women. Skeletal muscle mass and other body components were determined by bioimpedance using an InBody 720 device. Functional mobility was evaluated with the timed up-and-go test. 30-second chair stand was also used to measure the level of functional strength in lower extremities. Results: ‪The skeletal muscle index was positively correlated with functional mobility (r=-0.22; p=0.00) and 30-second chair stand (r=-0.47; p=0.00). However, the strength of lower extremities was a significantly better parameter in predicting mobility in older women than the skeletal muscle index and skeletal muscle mass. Conclusions: The functional strength of lower extremity muscles and the skeletal muscle index can have a positive effect on functional mobility in older people. The results may be helpful in clinical practice when diagnosing mobility limitations and in the process of programming physical activity of older women aimed at the prevention of sarcopenia.

Transcending Time (Feels)
Authors: Garza Jr. Jose M.
Published: April 2021

Over the past fifteen years, much of the music-theoretical scholarship on heavy metal has addressed metric processes (Lucas 2019, Capuzzo 2018, Hannan 2018, Lucas 2018, Lennard 2016, Smialek 2008, Pieslak 2007) and the use of the voice (Smialek 2017, Young 2018). A significant portion of the literature deals with the band Meshuggah, but the music of countless artists scattered across manifold subgenres remains unexplored. Widening the focus on such a large repertoire not only helps remedy this issue, but serves to inform one recent music-theoretical topic that relies on a broad stylistic understanding: time feels. To date, scholars have mainly limited the discussion of time feels to the kick and snare drums (e.g., de Clercq 2016), and indeed, these instruments ultimately determine a feel. I argue, however, that different uses of guitar, bass, and cymbals can reinforce, clarify, or contradict the feel laid down by the kick and snare. In this article, I describe several categories of guitar and bass riff types and timekeeping cymbals. I then discuss how their associations with certain time-feel contexts inform further analyses. To this end, I draw from post-millennial metal music in various subgenres including black metal, death metal, doom metal, grindcore, metalcore, progressive metal, sludge metal, and thrash metal.
Late Night Thoughts on Listening to Schoenberg’s Klavierstück, op. 33a
Authors: Salley Keith
Published: April 2021

This essay considers the sound of Arnold Schoenberg’s Klavierstück, op. 33a, discussing aesthetic effects of combinatoriality and pitch repetition. In taking John Rahn’s general advice regarding listening to Schoenberg “late at night with the lights off,” two compelling parallels with psycholinguistic phenomena emerge—one dealing with semantic satiation, and the other with a related experience called the verbal transformation effect.
Research advance on the relationship between Wee1 and tumor genesis and progression
Authors: Yin Ying , Yu Guohua
Published: April 2021

In the process of biological genetic information transmission, complete and correct genetic information can make cell mitosis proceed normally. In the development of most tumor cells, G2/M cell cycle checkpoint becomes the key checkpoint in the process of mitosis due to the lack of G1/S cell cycle checkpoint, which mainly depends on the abnormal DNA information blocked by Wee1 protein kinase in G2 phase to enter M phase and prolong the time of G2 phase to complete DNA sequencing So that the normal genetic information can be passed on. Wee1 protein kinase expression is significantly increased in most tumor cells, making it a potential target for tumor therapy.
