Published: June 2024

A single individual of Ariidae was captured in 2022 in the Palestinian waters off the Gaza Strip, eastern Mediterranean. A comprehensive description of the morphological and meristic characters of the specimen was conducted. Molecular identification was performed through sequence analysis of the Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I (COI). The specimen was identified as Ariopsis felis, both morphologically and genetically. The natural range of this species is the western Atlantic and, to the best of our knowledge, the species has never been reported before from Mediterranean waters. The singular occurrence of this fish in the basin prompts further discussion, raising questions about the possible vectors that may be responsible for this new introduction in the Mediterranean Sea.
Re-appearance of the gregarious gastropod Dendropoma anguliferum (Vermetidae) on abrasion platforms in the Carmel coast (Northern Israel)

Published: June 2024

After three decades of sharp decline in the Dendropoma populations in Israel and genuine concern for their extinction, we affirm the re-appearance of the gregarious gastropod Dendropoma anguliferum on abrasion platforms in the Carmel coast (Northern Israel). A visual survey conducted during December 2020 and February 2021 along the rims of abrasion platforms in the Carmel coast area revealed 195 living clusters of live D. anguliferum. DNA sequences from tissue samples unambiguously supported the identity of our material as the Levantine Sea member D. anguliferum of the Dendropoma petraeum species complex, with 99- 100% identity to sequences obtained from D. anguliferum from Southern Lebanon.

Bunching-Proof Capabilities of Modular Buses: An Analytical Assessment
Authors: Lin Xi , Chen Zhibin , Li Meng , He Fang
Published: June 2024

Modular vehicles are a novel concept that allows for the coupling and decoupling of different vehicle modules and enables in-motion passenger transfers; it can potentially increase the flexibility of the transportation system. Recent studies have numerically highlighted the potential of using modular vehicles as transit buses to mitigate the bus bunching phenomenon. Building upon this, our study offers a comprehensive and systematic analytical assessment of the bunching-proof capabilities associated with modular buses. Specifically, we examine two sets of cases: those with fixed boarding capacities, where each bus stop processes only one queue for a modular platoon, irrespective of the number of modular vehicles it consists of; and those with flexible boarding capacities, where multiple queues can be served at each stop, enabling all modular units within a platoon to cater to boarding passengers concurrently. For the cases with fixed boarding capacities, we quantify the necessary conditions for successful hysteresis restoration, whereas for the cases with flexible boarding capacities, we discover a notable “bounded bunching property,” wherein the bus operation inherently restricts the ongoing deterioration of bunching. Leveraging this property, we propose an innovative proactive bunching mitigation method, called “adaptive pushing strategy,” to mitigate bus bunching more proactively. A computer simulation platform is established to validate the theoretical findings and mitigation solutions presented in this study.

Authors: George Pynadath , Allybocus Ameer
Published: June 2024

In this article, we present a case report on the autotransplantation of an upper left canine (UL3) into the site of a retained upper left deciduous canine (ULC) in a 36-year-old male using a digital guided approach. The procedure involved meticulous pre-operative planning, careful extraction of the ULC and UL3, and the use of a stereolithic tooth and a surgical guide created using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data. Follow-up included endodontic treatment post-transplantation. The successful outcome of this case underscores the importance of how imaging techniques can help to provide successful and predictable autotransplantation results. This case report highlights the successful integration of a transplanted tooth and the unique approach to the techniques used.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: Autotransplantation of an impacted tooth can be considerd as a treatment option for the adult patient with a single tooth edentulous space or retained deciduous tooth.

"This malfeasance must be stopped!": Flora & Ulysses and the Literary Quality of Children's Books
Authors: Midkiff Emily
Published: June 2024

Abstract: Flora & Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo carefully negotiates between what is expected of comic books and what is expected of literary children's novels, resulting in a book that borrows from and signals both traditions. As a result, Flora & Ulysses challenges the different values traditionally assigned to comic books and literary children's books, but without ever becoming too radical. In this article, analysis of this text and its archival materials held in the Kerlan Collection demonstrates how the book pushes for a wider acceptance of comics formatting as valuable literature, while also exemplifying the value systems still in place.
"Miguel de Unamuno and the Redemption of Antero de Quental"
Authors: Newcomb Robert Patrick
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT: My analysis in this paper centers on Miguel de Unamuno's multifaceted engagement (commentary, translation, poetic response) with Antero de Quental's metaphysically-inclined sonnets. Like Unamuno, I focus on the sonnets "Redenção" and "Na mão de Deus." I first demonstrate how Unamuno unsuccessfully attempts to reconcile Quental's poetic descriptions of death as liberation, and of the individual's reabsorption in death into the universal consciousness, with his agonized faith in a personal God and his New Testament-derived belief in humanity's redemption from sin and salvation by Jesus Christ. I then argue that while Unamuno may have misinterpreted Quental, his misreading was nonetheless productive in that it furnished him with an Iberian exemplar of the sentimientotrágico de la vida – though I contend that Unamuno's elevation of Quental to the status of tragic exemplar is nonetheless misplaced

In this study, using some novel measures, we examined vocal pitch matching in 4- and 5-year-old children in transitional kindergarten classrooms and, at two time points, tested relationships between children’s singing pitch accuracy and their classroom grades as well as performance on standardized measures of developing cognitive and academic skills. Consistent with previous studies, children’s grades were strongly correlated with their performance on standardized measures and differed significantly by gender, maternal education, household income and household language. In contrast, vocal pitch matching and tonal pitch processing showed no consistent relationship to grades, standardized tests or sociodemographic variables, and children with lower academic performance showed statistically equivalent pitch singing on average compared to their peers with higher grades. These findings suggest pitch processing and production abilities may be a relative cognitive strength among children doing less well in school, which may be explored for developing programmes to lift their academic performance.
Free Flap Evaluation Following Reconstruction of Locally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of The Tongue
Authors: Atmodiwirjo Parintosa , Kartini Diani , Arina Maryam Nur , Sapphira Elrica , Ramadan Mohamad Rachadian , Triatmoko Sara Ester
Published: June 2024

Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a crucial component in the management of tongue-based locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma (LASCC) due to its ability to decrease tumor mass and facilitate free tissue transplantation. The utilization of adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy has been observed to decelerate the progression of post-operative tumor growth. Probability of free flap failure is elevated. Post-operative complications and the long-term functional outcomes of speaking, salivation, and swallowing determine the quality of free flaps.
Methods: A retrospective review of tongue LASCC patients who underwent NAC followed by glossectomy and free tissue transfer from 2015 to 2018. Tongue functional outcomes of speaking, swallowing, and salivation were assessed using FACE-Q scale in 3 times follow-up period.
Result: This study included 7 patients who underwent tongue reconstruction. Treatment modalities were based on tumor presentation, with 4 patients (57.1%) receiving Taxane, 5-Fluorouracil, and Paclitaxel/Doclitaxel (TPF), and 3 patients (42.1%) receiving Paclitaxel and 5-Fluorouracil (PF). Tongue reconstruction utilized the radial forearm free flap in 5 patients (71.4%) and the anterolateral thigh free flap in 2 patients (28.6%). Intraoperatively, NAC had no impact on the integrity of small and reliable donor vessels. Three patients died from tumor metastases after the second follow-up assessment, while one patient was lost to follow-up. The study found no significant association between chemotherapy dosage and free flap vitality (P = 0.629). FACE-Q assessments revealed moderate to low scores in speaking, eating, and drinking outcomes.
Conclusion: Tongue reconstruction after NAC in LASCC patients remains a challenging procedure for surgeons. While the consideration of surgical difficulties due to damage of the donor vessels demands a more structured pre-operative plan. No correlation between the exposure of NAC or AR to free flap complication as well as functional outcome.

Published: June 2024

Marginalized groups in underdeveloped regions still experience difficulties accessing public services. Co-creation of public service innovation is urgent to solve limited resources for providing public services to marginalized groups. This article aims to describe and analyze the type, influential actors, and influential factors of the co-creation of public service innovation for marginalized groups. This study applied a qualitative descriptive method with the research locus in the local governments of North Lombok Regency, Tojo Una-Una Regency, and Sorong Regency. Data were collected using in-depth interviews and FGD. North Lombok Regency was considered to have the most varied actors since they involved farmers group, trainers, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to support the local government in co-initiating, co-designing, and co-implementing their innovations. Meanwhile, the Local Government of Tojo Una-Una Regency and Sorong Regency only involved the community in designing and implementing innovations. Further, the results of this study show that influential factors from several perspectives. From the government’s perspective, the local governments did not reflect the risk-averse but have shown an open attitude to co-creation. From the citizens’ perspective, concerns about the economic and health conditions of the marginalized people around them were their main motivation to participate in providing public services. Local governments should broaden the participation of actors to accelerate the target achievement.

Published: June 2024

Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) have highmoisture content (93–95%), making them more vulnerable to various types of spoilage fungi. Numerous medicinal plants' essential oils are known to have antifungal properties that combat these spoilage fungi. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential antifungal activity of essential oils from some indigenous plants in Bangladesh to prevent the fungal attack on tomatoes. Using potato dextrose agar medium, 4 species of spoilage fungi from tomatoes were identified. ITS (Internal transcribed spacer) region-specific sequencing was used to identify the fungal species as Aspergillus welwitschiae, Aspergillus tamari, Penicillium citrinum and Rhizopus arrhizus. Assessment on antifungal activity was conducted for four essential oils extracted from plants: turmeric leaf (Curcuma longa), patchouli (Pogestemon cablin), palmarosa (Cymbopogon martini) and lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus). The GC-MS method was used to analyze these essential oils to ascertain their chemical content. A pathogenicity test determined the severity and % of rot on tomatoes. A. welwitschiae caused the most severe spoilage (80%) after 21 days, while R. arrhizus damaged 26% of the tomatoes within 5 days. The minimal fungicidal concentration (MFC) and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the essential oils were determined after analysis. Lemongrass oil fully suppressed the growth of all the isolates at a concentration of 12 ????l/ml. Finally, the essential oils of palmarosa and lemongrass may be used as a preventative measure against tomato fungal rot.
The Ideal Path: Acquiring Education and Gaining Respect for Parents from the Perspective of Arab-Bedouin Students
Authors: Abu-gweder Aref
Published: June 2024

The present study discusses the social and personal challenges facing Arab-Bedouin students in teaching colleges and examines how they maneuver between the academic world, which represents modern urban life, and the social traditions of their society. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with 30 Arab-Bedouin students from education colleges in southern Israel. The Arab-Bedouin female students interviewed in the study reported that their status, as well as their families’ status, improved as a result of their decision to acquire higher education. Education is seen as a source of pride for them and their family members, even within their society. In addition, the study found that parental support contributed greatly to the students’ academic progress. The parents formed a safety net, for example, by helping to pay tuition or buying school supplies and equipment such as laptops.

Authors: Li Junkui , Qi Yajing , Ahmed Zahoor , Xu Bin
Published: June 2024

A generic instrumental analysis method, matched with sensory evaluation, for the hardness test of Chinese dried noodles after cooking, was established in this study. The cut and compression mode was compared at first, followed by an analysis of the hardness response curve obtained from cut code with three-stage. Then the reliability of this method was verified with 20 commercially available noodles. Results showed that the hardness difference between the two samples obtained using compression mode was only 0.087 %. In contrast, a 6.34 % difference was obtained using cut mode with the hardness value of 296.12 ± 6.10 g and 278.47 ± 12.22 g, respectively. Three parameters, including initial hardness (F
1), material hardness (K), and final hardness (F
2), were extracted from the shear curve to characterize the hardness of cooked noodles. A ranking difference of F
1, F
2, and K between 20 commercially available noodles was found, which illustrated various characteristics of cooked noodles. In summary, the cut mode was more suitable for determining the hardness of cooked noodles; F
1, F
2, and K, obtained from a three-stage analytical method for the inner and outer hardness of cooked noodles characterization, had excellent performance to match with sensory evaluation.

Geschlecht, Religion und Nation in globalen Verflechtungen
Authors: Kirchner Anna , Albrecht Jessica A. , Bachmann Judith
Published: June 2024

Ansätze einer globalen Religionsgeschichte haben entscheidend zum Verständnis von Allgemeinbegriffen wie Religion als historisch gewachsen und veränderlich beigetragen. Ebenso haben sie aufgezeigt, dass das Verständnis von Religion in Wechselwirkung mit anderen Allgemeinbegriffen wie Nation geprägt ist. Geschlecht findet in diesen Untersuchungen bislang kaum Berücksichtigung. Dabei bestehen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Geschlecht, Nation und Religion, die wir in diesem Aufsatz in dem Vergleichsmoment von Mutterschaft aufzeigen wollen. Anhand von Fallbeispielen aus Sri Lanka, Israel und Nigeria machen wir deutlich, wie der Vergleichsmoment Mutterschaft in unterschiedlichen Kontexten funktioniert, wie Identitäten daran konstruiert werden, welche Auswirkungen sich dadurch auf Religion, Nation und Geschlecht ergeben und wie Mutterschaft sowohl als Unterdrückungsmechanismus dient, als auch Handlungsmacht darin möglich ist.
Estimation of the economic impact caused by flooding events in dwellings in Sinaloa, Mexico
Authors: Ibarra Cristina Isabel , Salazar Yanes Jose Carlos
Published: June 2024

In Sinaloa, Mexico, rainfall is intense and can cause floodings in rural and urban areas. Although the risks cannot disappear entirely, deficient urban planning, poor drainage system, and accumulation of waste increase the vulnerability of the population, generating inequality derived from urban conditions. Through 160 surveys applied to dwellers in three of the most important cities of Sinaloa: Los Mochis, Mazatlán, and Culiacán, this work evaluates the losses suffered per household as a result of a flood incident. Losses of at least $70 256 Mexican pesos (3800 USD considering 18.00MXN/USD currency exchange in 09/06/23) per home were estimated, in addition to a significant devaluation of the properties. The study concludes that a socio-environmental justice approach should be adopted to ensure equal vulnerability reduction for all families, instead of the current approach of compensation and transfers which solves nothing in the long-term.
