The Rise of the Modern Witch: Analyzing Devon Cole’s ‘W.I.T.C.H.’ in Feminist Discourse
Authors: Orias Daniella
Published: September 2023

This scholarly investigation critically examines Devon Cole’s song, “W.I.T.C.H.,” within the framework of feminist discourse and its implications for women’s autonomy over their bodies. The study pursues two primary objectives: firstly, it examines Cole’s lyrical portrayal of witches as emblematic of “Women In Total Control of Herself,” and secondly, it assesses the resonance of these lyrics with established feminist theories, particularly within the context of Reproductive Justice. This inquiry is contemporarily situated amidst pivotal developments such as the 2022 Roe vs. Wade decision reversal and the emergence of stringent anti-abortion legislation. The enduring symbol of the witch has consistently persisted as a representation of feminist resistance, retaining its relevance in contemporary popular culture. Artists like Cole strategically leverage feminist theories to infuse their creative works with social commentary, thereby facilitating the dissemination of gender-related concerns. By employing the witch symbol, Cole and her contemporaries actively challenge prevailing societal norms, engendering meaningful dialogues on issues pertaining to women’s rights and autonomy. In sum, this paper illuminates the focal point of its analysis, Devon Cole’s “W.I.T.C.H.,” within the broader context of feminist theory. It underscores the significance of the feminist reinterpretation of the witch archetype and its pertinence to contemporary gender-related matters while also acknowledging the broader sociopolitical backdrop against which this discourse unfolds.

Authors: ÇATAK Şenay , ŞAHİN Nursel , AKBULUT Gamze
Published: September 2023

Aim: A healthy diet supports the body's energy and physiological needs with adequate nutrients. The Mediterranean diet (MD) exemplifies balanced nutrition and can have protective effects on health. This research aims to evaluate the impact of adhering to the MD on the mental health of adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Material and Methods: Data were collected through an online questionnaire including socio-demographic characteristics, the Mediterranean Diet Adequacy Scale (MEDAS), and the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (SWEMWBS). The questionnaire was shared via social media or email using a link. The study included 129 individuals (52 men, 77 women) who responded approximately one week after the questionnaire was shared.

Results: The mean age of individuals was 26.5±7.37. Most men (59.61%) had a normal weight, while most women (50.65%) were overweight or obese. The majority of individuals (58.14%) showed low adherence to the MD, with a mean MEDAS score of 7.0±1.92. The proportion of underweight or normal-weight individuals who consumed red meat (in men) and nuts (in women) was significantly higher compared to overweight or obese individuals. However, there was no statistically significant relationship between the MEDAS scores and mental well-being scores of individuals.

Conclusion: Adequate and balanced nutrition is crucial for physical and psychological health, particularly during the pandemic. This study revealed low adherence to the MD among individuals. Further research with a larger sample size is needed to investigate the relationship between the MD and mental health during the pandemic period.

Investigation of the Effects of Short, Medium, Long Chain Fatty Acids on Osteocalcin, Leptin and Insulin Levels
Authors: EDİRNELİ Cemre Nur , BEYAZÇİÇEK Ersin
Published: September 2023

Aim: There are some studies on insülin released from pancreatic beta cells, both active and inactive osteocalcin in bone tissue, and leptin released in adipose tissue. However, data on the effects of combined short, medium, and long fatty acids on the serum/tissue concentration of hormones such as osteocalcin, leptin and insülin are scarce. This study aims to investigate the effects of combined use of butyric acid, caprylic acid and oleic acid on osteocalcin, leptin, and insulin secretion.

Material and Methods: Forty-nine male Wistar rats were used in the study. The rats were randomly divided into 7 subgroups as control group, butyric acid group, caprylic acid group, oleic acid group, butyric acid+caprylic acid group, butyric acid+oleic acid group, and caprylic acid+oleic acid group. Fatty acids were administered orally for 21 days. At the end of the study, osteocalcin, insulin, and leptin levels of serum samples taken from rats were determined by the ELISA method.

Results: While osteocalcin and leptin levels were found to be high in the group administered only butyric acid, insulin levels were found to be higher in the group treated with combined caprylic acid + oleic acid. The blood glucose level of the caprylic acid group was found to be higher than the other groups.

Conclusion: The relationship between osteocalcin, leptin, and insulin is quite complex. Different studies show that osteocalcin can have an effect on leptin resistance, consumption of different types of fatty acids, especially short-chain fatty acids, can contribute to insulin sensitivity by increasing the release of osteocalcin, can help reduce leptin resistance, and osteocalcin can reduce insulin resistance.

Circuit Integrity Assessment of Fire-Resistant Cables
Authors: Arunjothi R. , . Thirumurthy , Meena K. P.
Published: September 2023

In the electrical industry, fire accidents may happen due to overheating of electrical equipment, short circuit faults and any external source of fire. Polymeric Electrical Cables are prone to spread fire along the cable run as the insulation and sheathing materials are of flammable nature. Hence various flame retardants and low-smoke polymers are being used so that the flame spread and toxic gas release can be controlled. There are some special application cables called Fire Resistant cables which need to maintain the circuit integrity of the cable even during fire conditions. The construction of these fire-resistant cables requires fire-resistant insulation to achieve the fire-resistance property. They are such as Glass- Mica tape, Silicone Rubber, mineral insulation, metal insulation and fire retardant coating. There is various International and National standard assessing methods to assess these special cables. In this paper, the fire-resistant insulating materials and their performance during the assessment in achieving the required fire-resistant property are discussed.

URGENSI PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM TERHADAP JUSTICE COLABORATOR DALAM TINDAK PIDANA KORUPSI
Authors: Silitonga Dony Andrianto , Jamba Padrisan
Published: September 2023

Criminal acts, such as corruption, are illegal actions committed by individuals that harm the state for personal or others' benefits. Corruption is considered an exceptional crime, making investigations challenging due to the intricate methods employed by the perpetrators. This difficulty led to the introduction of the term "perpetrator witness" or "justice collaborator," referring to a witness who cooperates with law enforcement authorities to investigate the same crime. The objective of this study is to examine the legal arrangements and protection measures afforded to justice collaborators in sharing information. The research employed a normative legal research method, utilizing library research and primary, secondary, and tertiary data sources. The findings reveal several legal provisions, including Law No. 31 of 2014 and SEMA No. 4 of 2011, as well as forms of protection provided by law enforcement agencies, encompassing physical and psychological safeguards. However, it can be inferred from the study that the legal foundation for justice collaborators lacks clarity, as it holds the potential for multiple interpretations in practical implementation. Additionally, the level of protection provided and the fulfillment of promises by law enforcers have not been fully optimized.

Regular checkups for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels are essential for the diagnosis of thyroid disease. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique is a standard method for detecting TSH in the serum or plasma of hospitalized patients. A recently developed next-generation ELISA, the digital immunoassay (d-IA), has facilitated detection of molecules with ultra-high-sensitivity. In this study, we developed a TSH assay system using the d-IA platform. By utilizing the ultrasensitivity of d-IA, we were able to use a sample volume of as little as 5 µL for each assay (the dead volume was 5 µL). The limits of blank, detection, and quantification (i.e., functional sensitivity), were 0.000346, 0.001953, and 0.002280 μIU/mL, respectively, and the precision of the total coefficient of variation did not exceed 10%. The correlation between serum and plasma levels indicated good agreement. Thus, our system successfully measured TSH using d-IA with a small sample volume and equal functional sensitivity to the current third generation like ARCHITECT TSH assay, which has a functional sensitivity of 0.0038 μIU/mL.
