Omo Sebua (Rumah Adat Besar) adalah rumah tradisional/rumah adat suku Nias yang dihuni oleh raja beserta dengan keluarga dan keturunannya. Rumah ini memiliki perbedaan dari rumah adat biasa, atau rumah adat yang dihuni oleh masyarakat biasa (bukan keluarga/ keturunan raja). Jika dilihat dari ukuran, Omo Sebua (Rumah Adat Besar) memiliki ukuran yang lebih luas (-+300 m2), tinggi rumah mencapai 22m, diameter tiang penyangga rumah kurang lebih 1m, menjadikannya berbeda dari rumah adat biasa. Selain itu, di dalam Omo Sebua (Rumah Adat Besar) juga terdapat ornament-ornamen ukiran dinding, serta koleksi tanduk rusa dan gigi babi hutan yang tersusun rapi pada salah satu tiang merupakan hasil buruan, dan melambangkan kehebatan raja, yang tidak akan di temukan di rumah adat biasa. Keunikan budaya yang terkandung di dalam rumah adat suku Nias ini memiliki filosofidan makna-makna yang belum terungkap seutuhnya, serta belum terdokumentasikan. Sehingga penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap filosofi dan makna-makna yang terkandung dalam Omo Sebua (Rumah Adat Besar) Nias Selatan. Metode yang akan dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif deskriptif. Berdasarkan pada hasil penelitian, rumah adat dibangun atas keinginan raja sebagai kediaman dan juga sebagai tempat pertemuan setiap tokoh atau bangsawandalam merapatkan suatu hal sebelum dibicarakan di balai desa. Proses pembangunan rumah adat ini dilakukan secara gotong-royong. Bahan yang digunakan semua dari kayu pilihan seperti manawadanӧ, mosiholidanӧ, berua, dan kifini. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah rumah adat di Desa Bawomataluo memiliki makna tersendiri dan terasa unik dari rumah adat lainnya sehingga para wisatawan tertarik. Adapun saran dalam penelitian ini adalah diharapkan peneliti berikutnya meneliti sistem pemerintahan dan pembangunan rumah adat masyarakat Nias dulu.

De Zahre reidet (nou)!
Authors: Semmelmann Stefan
Published: August 2024

In the midst of the Carnic Alps lies a German-based minority, Sauris/Zahre, which has migrated from the Austrian border region since the 12th century. This article explores the question of which measures are being taken to (re-)vitalise the zahrar sproche. Based on Haugen’s language planning model, two components of language standardisation are discussed: the selection phase and the codification of orthography and vocabulary, with particular attention being paid to dealing with the variation typical of such a late standardised language. The acceptance of codifications concludes the considerations on the standardisation.
Die Aushandlung sprachlicher Normen in deutschsprachigen Gemeinschaften im Süden Brasiliens
Authors: Machado Lucas Löff , Kürschner Sebastian
Published: August 2024

This paper investigates how linguistic norms are negotiated in German-speaking localities in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The aim of the article is to find out whether linguistic norms still play a role in a heterogeneous multilingual context in which German ceased to be used as a written language while still being transferred to children in spoken varieties. The data is based on 58 semi-structured interviews from ten locations. The analyses take their starting point in language labels, providing key words for identifying and contrasting varieties. The results show that different varieties of German are still clearly perceived and labeled, and that they are evaluated according to the vertical dimension. Norms are negotiated displaying an ideology of linguistic homogeneity and relating to speaker age, the value of written language, and norm instances like schools. Comparing the older and the younger generations, a tendency of norm varieties being less associated with written language and more and more based on surrounding spoken German varieties is perceived, with West Central German (Hunsrückisch) showing some dominance.

This paper analyzes the spelling of the phonemes /x/, /ŋ/, and /ɬ/, as well as the representation of grammatical tone and vowel length in written Iraqw in social media. By examining the differences between the standard orthography and the emerging orthographic conventions in social media, this paper aims to reflect on the orthographic standardization of minority languages. It shows how language use in social media can contribute to the creation of accessible linguistic and cultural resources for minority language communities.
Ortserkundungen. Wo liegt und was ist das Zwischenland?
Authors: Neyer Jürgen
Published: August 2024

Das Konzept des Zwischenlandes beschreibt eine Zeit politischer und gesellschaftlicher Unsicherheit, wo alte Werte und Institutionen ihre Bindungskraft verlieren, ohne dass sich neue bereits durchgesetzt hätten. Der Beitrag analysiert dieses Phänomen als Raum zwischen alten und neuen Ordnungen, geprägt von Herausforderungen wie dem Aufstieg rechtspopulistischer Parteien, sozialer Ungleichheit und der Krise liberaler Werte. Er argumentiert, dass das Zwischenland tiefe Implikationen für die Politik und Gesellschaft in Europa hat und betont die Notwendigkeit von Kompromiss, Toleranz und intellektueller Bescheidenheit im Umgang mit diesen Herausforderungen.
Überformelle und materielle Teilhabe: Parlament und Parteien im Zwischenland
Authors: Thiele Alexander
Published: August 2024

Die Europäische Union hat sich von der tradierten Form des Staatenbundes immer weiter gelöst, ohne jedoch bisher den formalen Schritt zur Staatlichkeit gegangen zu sein. Immer wieder wird vor diesem Hintergrund und unter Rückgriff auf staatstheoretische Großbegriffe (Bundesstaat, Souveränität, Republik) die Auflösung dieser organisatorischen Ambivalenz hin zu vermeintlicher staatstheoretischer Eindeutigkeit propagiert. Diese Großbegriffe geben jedoch schon aufgrund ihres unbestimmten Inhalts für die konkrete Organisation der Europäischen Union im Zusammenspiel mit den Mitgliedstaaten wenig her. Ziel möglicher Reformen der EU sollte daher nicht der große Wurf, sondern die kontinuierliche Steigerung der Verbundlegitimität der EU und der Mitgliedstaaten sein. Einige Vorschläge dazu werden im Folgenden skizziert.
Wege aus dem Zwischenland: Bewahrung der alten Ordnung?
Authors: Mayer Franz C.
Published: August 2024

Wir befinden uns in einem Gebiet zwischen Altem und Neuem, dem Zwischenland. Auf die Frage nach dem Weg aus diesem Zwischenland ist die Bewahrung der alten Ordnung nicht die naheliegendste Antwort. Der Beitrag wirbt gleichwohl dafür, das in der europäischen Integration bereits Erreichte nicht auszublenden, sondern mit dem Orientierungskonzept der europäischen Rechtsgemeinschaft angemessen zu erfassen. Entsprechend sollte es bei Reformüberlegungen nicht darum gehen, alles komplett neu zu denken und zu bauen, sondern unter grundsätzlicher Anerkennung des nachhaltigen Wertes des Rechtsrahmens der EU, ihres institutionellen Systems und ihrer Verfahren Anpassungen sowohl hinsichtlich der Vertiefung als auch der Flexibilität vorzunehmen, um so den erreichten Stand der Integration zu bewahren.

Social Media Addiction: Challenges and Strategies to Promote Media Literacy
Authors: Perez-Lozano Delia , Saucedo Espinosa Francisco
Published: August 2024

This chapter explores social media addiction, its underlying causes, consequences, and the role of media literacy in mitigating its impact. It examines the influence of artificial intelligence on content personalization and the role of cybersecurity in preventing social media addiction. The methodology involved a comprehensive literature review and a quantitative survey of 264 participants across various generations. The survey featured 25 Likert scale items designed to perform a factor analysis on addiction and literacy, as well as general questions about social media behavior. The findings indicate that social media addiction is driven by psychological factors such as social comparison, the need for social validation, and the fear of missing out (FOMO). The consequences of addiction include increased anxiety, depression, disrupted sleep patterns, and decreased face-to-face interactions. The factor analysis revealed key dimensions of addiction, including compulsive use and social comparison. The study underscores the critical role of media literacy in addressing social media addiction. By equipping individuals with skills to critically evaluate media content and promoting a balanced approach to online and offline activities, media literacy can mitigate the negative impacts of social media use. The chapter highlights the need for integrating media literacy into education and fostering collaborations to create a healthier digital environment.
Perspective Chapter: Translational Implications of Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR) Vitreous Fluid
Authors: Imtiaz Nawaz Mohd
Published: August 2024

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is a neurovascular disease of the retina that causes severe vision loss in working adults worldwide. Hyperglycemia-induced dysregulated metabolic process activates neuro-vascular cells releasing numerous locally acting factors, particularly cytokines, into the vitreoretinal interface or vitreous body. In the pathological setting, vitreous forms an overwhelming “reservoir” by engaging an elevated level of various angiogenic and inflammatory mediators. Furthermore, an increase in the systemic level of angio-inflammatory factors in diabetic vitreous creates a depot of pathological signaling pathways by activating secondary mediators and transcriptional factors that propagate PDR pathogenesis. This chapter aims to discuss the relevance of the impaired vitreous microenvironment in sustaining and accelerating the pathogenesis of PDR. Additionally, we will discuss the PDR-vitreous fluid as helpful material for studying the patho-clinical events in the diabetic retina and obtaining pre-clinical, experimental evidence for developing new therapeutic drug candidates for PDR therapy.

Published: August 2024

With the advent of digital technologies, the learning process has become increasingly multifaceted and diverse, adapting to the demands of society, the conditions of educational content, and the prerequisites for students’ development. To provide the necessary support to students and feedback (online communication with the teacher, the opportunity to improve your knowledge with additional tasks, receiving immediate results for the completed work, etc.) in the digital environment, it is important to realize the personalization in the learning process, where the teacher understands the individual needs of students, promotes students’ motivation to learn and is aware of their individual growth. The case study confirms that developing a digital tool (www.pavelsjurs.lv) for learning history and culturology, where it is possible to provide feedback to the student, can offer a personalized approach to the learning process. The authors will use real-world examples to demonstrate the application of personalized learning. The chapter aims to update the theoretical aspects of students’ digital competence formation and offer a case study approach to developing an interactive learning platform for students, to describe different pedagogical solutions for improving the history and culturology learning process at the secondary school stage.

Authors: Al Siyabi Noora , Marsden Jamie , Guo Boshuo
Published: August 2024

Place branding involves a range of initiatives intended to increase the attractiveness of a geographic area. One of the essential components of an effective place brand is a coordinated communication strategy that connects with a diverse range of stakeholders. As digital technology disrupts the ability to control communications, social media is playing a central role in the reach, influence, and engagement with all communications, including place branding. This chapter examines the role of social media in place brand communications by capturing a sample of Instagram posts relating to the place branding of Oman. These posts are analysed to understand how their content has the ability to appeal to an audience and generate substantial engagement. The findings suggest there are several strategies that are useful for considering when generating place brand content, which have implications for how place brand managers attempt to extend their influence on online communications and engage with their audiences.
Aqueous Affairs of Red Blood Cell: Variations That Alter Parasite Growth
Authors: Agrohi Priya , Babu Kushwah Raja , K. Mallick Prashant
Published: August 2024

Volume regulation is an important aspect of red blood cell (RBC) physiology that facilitates efficient transport of oxygen throughout the body. Ion channels are the key player in volume regulation allowing the movement of water and ions across the cell membrane. Dysfunction in ion channel activity can disturb the precise balance of ion transport and volume regulation, leading to the development of various disorders. Hereditary defects in RBC are well-known to provide protection against severe malaria. However, RBC’s volume disorders may also impact on malaria protection which needs thorough investigation. In recent years, PIEZO1 and ATP2B4 genes were discovered to be involved in RBC volume homeostasis. These genes through calcium-activated potassium channel (Gardos channels) regulate RBC volume and may be involved in protection against severe malaria in humans. This chapter is an attempt to cover the dynamic interplay of RBC’s volume regulation and its role in protection against severe malaria. This chapter also aims to provide insight on the complexity of genetic variants of human RBC that may affect malaria pathogenesis.

Malaria is one of the most severe infectious diseases, imposing significant clinical and financial burdens, particularly in underdeveloped regions, and hindering socioeconomic development. The disease is caused by unicellular protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which infect not only humans but also various animals, including birds, mammals, and reptiles. Among over 200 recognized Plasmodium species, five—P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale, and P. knowlesi—pose serious risks to human health. The first four are specific to humans, while P. knowlesi, primarily found in macaque monkeys, is responsible for zoonotic malaria in Southeast Asia. Malaria transmission relies on an intermediate insect vector, typically Anopheles mosquitoes, which act as both carriers and final hosts, facilitating the sexual reproduction of the parasite. This dependence on anopheline mosquitoes underscores the complex ecological dynamics influencing malaria epidemiology. Plasmodium species exhibit significant genetic plasticity, enabling rapid adaptation to external pressures such as changes in host specificity and the evolution of treatment resistance. This chapter explores the biology of human-infecting Plasmodium species and the significant threats they pose to humanity, highlighting their complex interactions with hosts and vectors.

Isolation trials from various tomato-growing sites in Kafrelsheikh governorate showing characteristic symptoms of wilt yielded one fungal isolate which was purified and identified as Fusarium solani. In vitro study, the synthetization of silver nanoparticles by Mentha spicata leaf extract was subjected to physical characterization using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, which confirmed that the particle diameters of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) ranged from 57 to 97 nanometers. The antifungal activity of synthesized AgNPs with poisoned food technique was used against a pathogenic fungus with different concentrations (50, 100, 150, and 200 mg/l); furthermore, different concentrations of the fungicide Vitavax (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 g/l) and two biological control agents (Trichoderma harzianum, Bacillus subtilis) were also applied to investigate their antifungal activity against the fungus. The pots experiment was applied under greenhouse conditions during the 2020 season by soaking tomato seedlings in different treatments. The results indicated that the AgNPs treatment yielded the least disease severity among various treatments. All treatments were found effective at different rates, in particular, AgNPs to promote the vegetative growth parameters of tomato plants and controlling the root rot disease caused by pathogenic fungus. Treated plants with AgNPs recorded a low concentration of proline and the highest values of chlorophyll pigments. Furthermore, AgNPs improved the anatomical measurements compared with infected plants without treatment. This study demonstrated the biosynthesis of AgNPs by Mentha spicata leaves extract, which proved a distinct fungicidal activity against pathogenic fungus.

Published: August 2024

Fashion trends that are growing are not only targeting adults but also teenagers and children. In fact, Citayam Fashion Week is a fashion show that is carried out by various groups without age limits at the zebra crossing in the Depok, Citayam, and Bojonggede areas of Jakarta. Technological developments not only affect fashion trends but also affect the culture and mindset of society. Therefore, the development of modern times, followed by developments in information technology, cannot be avoided or even become fanatical towards other people who continue to follow this fashion trend. One of them is the case of a student at SMAN 1 Banguntapan, Yogyakarta, who was forced to wear the headscarf, among other cases. This article uses the descriptive-analytical-thematic method with a type of library research. This article will outline: 1) What is the genealogy of the veil in Indonesia? 2) How is the aesthetics of the syar’i headscarf in interpretation and reality? 3) How are the efforts to moderate religion in Indonesia in the veil verse? One of them is by extending the headscarf over the woman’s head to the chest or covering all the limbs except for the face and palms. This aims to protect oneself from interference by bad men while maintaining honor. If human honor is maintained, there will be no more harassment or acts of violence committed, and efforts to maintain prosperity in human life can be realized.

Al-Takdi>m and al-Ta’khi>r are considered among the most important aspects of the miracle of the holy Qur’an, as every word in it comes in a distinctive way, and every change in this arrangement becomes a clear defect in the meaning. Despite the many secrets of al-Takdi>m and al-Ta’khi>r and its various types, many commentators did not pay attention to it and did not explain the secrets it has in its meaning. Speech, and most of their care in explaining what was presented was to say: Al-Takdi>m and al-Ta’khi>r are a form of care and attention, and for this reason some scholars blamed those who made the matter of al-Takdi>m easy and his status small; This is because they think that it is sufficient to say about everything that has been presented: it has been brought forward to be taken care of, and because mentioning it is more important. Al-Alusi explained and applied the miracle of the Qur’an, especially the al-Takdi>m and al-Ta’khi>r in its interpretation called the Spirit of Meanings in the Interpretation of the Great Qur’an and the Seven Repeated Verses, a book famous for its author’s interest in the rhetorical aspect of the Holy Qur’an. This research deals with the secrets of al-Takdi>m and al-Ta’khi>r in Al-Alusi’s interpretation, through the inductive approach. Where its secrets are extrapolated in its interpretation; The comparative approach is to compare all the opinions mentioned regarding the secrets of advancement and delay with other exegetical books. At the end of this research, the results come, the most important of which are: the secrets of al-Takdi>m and al-Ta’khi>r: attention to the advance and interest to the latter, specification, and al-Takdi>m because it is included in praise, and the declaration of equality, and al-Takdi>m in existence, and al-Takdi>m of the best, and al-Takdi>m the path of receiving revelation. The secrets of al-Takdi>m and al-Ta’khi>r are considered in the interpretation of Al-Alusi, as an extension of Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjani’s approach to systems theory in his book “Dala’il al-I’jaz”, Al-Alusi distinguished himself from Al-Zamakhshari, Al-Razi, Abu Hayyan, and other commentators who preceded him in many investigations into the secrets of al-Takdi>m and al-Ta’khi>r in the holy Qur’an.

This paper aims to uncover part of the macrocosm, which is the verses of Kauniyah, which are clearly stated by the verses of Qauniyah. Clearly stated by the Qauliyah verses of glorifying and prostrating, then the two types of verses are harmonized, so that it is found that the content of the Qur’an does not contradict modern science which continues to experience does not contradict modern science which continues to develop. This research is a literature type, with qualitative methods and using a descriptive-narrative approach. As for the results of the study, by referring to the opinions of the commentators regarding the universe of dhikr, praise, and prostration, it shows that there is a very close relationship between the verses of Kauniyah as sunnatullah with the verses of Qauliyah, where both come from Allah SWT. Between Qauliyah verses and Kauniyah verses both reinforce each other, Qauliyah verses reinforce the truth of Kauniyah verses, and vice verses, Kauniyah verses reinforce the truth of Qauliyah verses. Thus the microcosm (atoms) and macrocosm rotate/circulate or surround the center of the solar system is a form of tasbih and prostration (submission) to the Creator in order to maintain its balance from destruction.
