Authors: Asmarani Ratna , Istiana Inni Inayati , Wahyuni Tri
Published: July 2024

The short story titled "Funeral Rites" is about deviant sexual activity in the form of forced incest in several underage victims. This study analyzed the deviant forms of sexual abuse, devastating trauma, and unique solutions for letting go of the trauma. This study uses Sigmund Frued’s theory of literary and psychosexual psychology. The research method used is qualitative, and the results are descriptive. The concepts used to support the analysis are the definitions of incest, pedophilia, bisexuality, homosexuality, and other related issues. The results show that there were sexual deviations, such as incest-pedophilia-heterosexual rapes and incest-pedophilia-homosexual rapes performed repeatedly by the same predator, the older person, who should protect and care for young victims. Leave devastating and haunting trauma to the under-age victim. The eldest victim finally finds a unique solution to reduce the traumatic effects that they have endured for years.  AbstrakCerpen berjudul "Funeral Rites" ini bercerita tentang aktivitas seksual menyimpang berupa inses paksa pada beberapa korban di bawah umur.

Mapping the Intersection of Ecolinguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis: A Bibliometric Approach
Authors: Kamarullah Kamarullah , Yanti Lola Adres
Published: July 2024

Ecolinguistics explores the interplay between language and the ecological environment, encompassing humans, animals, and nature. Recent research trends have increasingly focused on critical discourse analysis (CDA), potentially overshadowing foundational ecolinguistic principles. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of Scopus-indexed ecolinguistics publications from 2011 to 2022. The methodology involved collecting relevant publications, sorting and correcting metadata, and performing a bibliometric analysis using tools like VOSviewer and Mendeley Desktop. The analysis addressed publishing trends, citation patterns, author collaborations, keyword trends, abstract content, contributing nations, and key topics within ecolinguistics and CDA. Findings reveal (1) erratic growth in ecolinguistics publications, (2) fluctuating citation counts, (3) infrequent collaboration among authors, (4) a strong association of specific keywords, (5) significant connections in abstract content, (6) the United Kingdom and the United States as leading contributors, and (7) identification of 17 specific topics within ecolinguistics. The study highlights a lack of sustained interest in ecolinguistics, with a disproportionate focus on CDA, suggesting the need for a more balanced approach that incorporates comprehensive ecological issues. Enhanced data and perspectives from ecolinguistics should inform and expand discourse function theories.

Leucaena leucocephala (White leadtree) legume seed is promoted in several countries of
Southeast Asia. The young pods are edible and occasionally eaten by Indonesians because
of their unique combination taste of savory, sweet and slightly bitter. This study
investigated the processing effects of steam blanching on the protein profile (total amino
acids) and the taste components of L. leucocephala seed flour. A 5-minute steam
blanching on seeds increased the soluble sugar components from 10.59±1.091 to
14.78±1.590 mg/g (dry basis) and free amino acids content from 39.25±2.260 to
49.66±2.070 mg/g on the seed flour. On the other hand, steam blanching could decrease
the content of the organic acid (167.78±4.800 mg/g to 149.29±10.420 mg/g) and the value
of total amino acids from 23.86±1.293 (%w/w) to 24.43±1.411 (%w/w). Leucaena
leucocephala seed flour had an essential amino acids ratio (E/T) value of 37.09±2.340–
37.94± 1.130, predicted protein efficiency ratio (P-PER) of 0.27±0.002–0.30±1.668. In
addition to the umami taste contributor component, a nucleotide compound was detected
in fresh and steamed seed flour namely inosine-monophosphate (IMP). Equivalent umami
concentration (EUC) showed that L. leucocephala seed flour contains high MSG-like
components (425.92±4.76 to 540.12±13.05 mg MSG/100 g). Glutamic acid and aspartic
acid, in line with Inosine Monophosphate (IMP), are MSG-like components providing a
savory taste, known as ‘umami’ by receptors in humans. Steam blanching for five minutes
prevented the degradation of sweet and savory compounds. Thus, the seed flour of L.
leucocephala is notably marked to be utilized as an alternative to functional food with an
umami taste.

Published: July 2024

Fermented foods can be a source of potentially probiotic microorganisms as they contain
different types of lactic acid bacteria. In the Philippines, there are a variety of traditional
fermented food products that may harbor probiotics. This study determined the probiotic
properties of Lactobacillus paracasei BIOTECH 10363 isolated from Tapuy, an
indigenous alcoholic beverage made from fermented glutinous white rice. The acid and
bile resistance, antibacterial, cell surface hydrophobicity, auto-aggregation, NaCl
tolerance, hemolytic, and antibiotic sensitivity properties of L. paracasei BIOTECH
10363 were evaluated in vitro. The isolate displayed resistance to acid (pH 3 to 5) and bile
(0.1 to 0.5%). Its cell-free supernatant exhibited strong inhibitory activity against
Escherichia coli. Higher affinity to xylene and chloroform was observed in L. paracasei
BIOTECH 10363. This suggests that the cell surface of the isolate has hydrophobic and
electron donor (basic) properties. Moreover, the isolate had a strong auto-aggregating
phenotype. Cell surface hydrophobicity and strong auto-aggregation activity could enable
the isolate to adhere, colonize and survive in the gastrointestinal tract. The isolate could
withstand MRS broth with 9% NaCl. It also displayed γ-hemolytic activity in blood agar
plates indicating the non-hemolytic nature of the isolate. L. paracasei BIOTECH 10363
expressed sensitivity against various cell wall synthesis inhibitors (amoxicillin, ampicillin,
augmentin, penicillin, and cefaclor) and protein synthesis inhibitors (streptomycin,
chloramphenicol, clindamycin, erythromycin, and tetracycline). However, it displayed
intrinsic resistance toward kanamycin. The findings of this study showed the promising
potential of L. paracasei BIOTECH 10363 as a candidate probiotic strain as it exhibited
desirable attributes in vitro.
Developing Typologies of Adult Arson in the Aotearoa New Zealand Context
Authors:   , Taylor Tigga
Published: July 2024

Arson causes significant harm to individuals, environments, and communities across the world. Despite the impacts of this behaviour, few theory-driven empirical classification structures exist to guide the investigation and prevention of arson in the socio-cultural context of Aotearoa New Zealand. This thesis aimed to produce person- and crime-scene-centred typologies of adult firesetting uniquely adapted to this cultural context and to test the associations between emergent offender and offence subtypes and repeat firesetting. Researchers coded court files from 328 individuals convicted of arson in Aotearoa New Zealand for demographic, developmental, behavioural, psychological, fire-specific, and crime scene variables. Two typologies, one including offender characteristics and one including behavioural and crime scene characteristics, were developed using multidimensional scaling (MDS). The relationship between the different subtypes and repeat firesetting was also examined. Three subtypes of offender characteristics (Antisocial, Emotionally Expressive, and Mental Health Loneliness) and three subtypes of offence characteristics (Thrill-Seeking, Communicating Distress, and Family Harm) emerged from these analyses. While no offender subtypes were associated with repeat firesetting, the Thrill-Seeking offence subtype showed a significant association with repeat firesetting, and the Family Harm offence subtype demonstrated a significant association with one-time firesetting. The offender typology has practice implications for locating meaningful mental health treatment targets, and the offence typology has practice implications for directing the scope of arson investigations.

El concepto de clases sociales según Olin Wright
Authors: Moreau Laura , Pulgar Covarrubias Patricio Ignacio
Published: July 2024

El presente articulo busca estudiar el legado de Olin Wright respecto al concepto de clases sociales. Para ello, se indaga el vínculo sociológico que realiza el autor a nivel teórico y metodológico. En este contexto, Wright comienza recorriendo conceptos teóricos de diferentes autores categorizando sus posiciones, para luego construir su concepción de las clases sociales mediante elementos tales como estructura de clases, bienestar y poder económico, intereses y la explotación que interactúan en el sistema capitalista. Posterior a esa revisión teórica, se explora la metodología utilizada para analizar la clase social, buscando operacionalizar lo que se entiende por conciencia de clase y otros indicadores del trabajo. Finalmente alude que la posición dentro de la estructura de relaciones de clase determina ciertas formas de conciencia, en una estructura capitalista fundada en la explotación y la opresión, siendo una contribución para el marxismo y las ciencias sociales.

Authors: Romanteeva Yu.V.
Published: July 2024

Introduction. One of the promising directions in the intensively developing pharmaceutical industry is the study of wild plants closely related to pharmacopoeial species in order to expand the raw material base of medicinal plants. In this aspect, the genus Artemisia L., which is one of the numerous species in the family Asteraceae, is of interest. There are about 800 species of Artemisia in the world flora. Plants of the genus Artemisia L. contain secondary metabolites of various chemical structures, of which phenolic compounds are one of the leading groups. In the Saratov region plants of this genus are poorly studied in terms of chemical composition. Objective: comparative study of chromatographic profile of extracts of above-ground parts of non-pharmacopoeial Artemisia species growing in Saratov region. Material and methods. The objects of the study were samples of herbs of A. austriaca Jacq., A. marschalliana Spreng., A. santonica L., А. dracunculus L. collected in 2021 in the Saratov region during the period of mass flowering. Thin-layer chromatography of the extracts was carried out in the solvent system: ethyl acetate – anhydrous methanoic acid – purified water (40:4:6). The adsorption zones were detected by UV light after sequential treatment with 1% solution of diphenylboronic acid aminoethyl ether alcoholic solution and 5% solution of macrogol 400 alcoholic solution. Results. Chromatographic profiles of extracts of four species of Artemisia growing in the Saratov region were obtained. The study revealed both similarities and differences in the values of retention factors, colouring, intensity of adsorption zones of the tested extracts. Conclusion. The experimental data obtained represent practical interest in establishing the authenticity of these wormwood species, as well as in standardisation of pharmaceutical phytosubstances based on them.

Published: July 2024

Introduction. Linden flowers are pharmacopoeial medicinal plant raw materials. It is widely used in clinical practice for the treatment and prevention of respiratory diseases. Despite the high degree of scientific study of this MPRMs, the improvement of approaches to standardization remains a pressing issue. Objective: study the composition of flavonoids of industrially produced linden flowers, presented on the Russian pharmaceutical market. Material and methods. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array and tandem quadrupole mass-selective detection in the gradient elution mode was used to analyze flavonoids in industrial samples of linden flowers. Extraction was performed with 70% aqueous methanol in a water bath. Results. The presence of flavonoids characteristic for linden flowers was confirmed. 13 flavonoids were identified (quercetin-3-rutinosid-7-rhamnoside, quercetin-3-glucoside-7-rhamnoside, tiliroside, rutin, quercetin-3-glucoside, kaempferitrin, kaempferol 3-rutinosid, quercetin-3-arabinoside, astragalin, quercetin 3-rhamnoside, kaempferol 7-rhamnoside, quercetin 3-glucuronide, prunetin-4'-rutinosid). Conclusion. During the experiment, a flavonoid profile was identified and it is consistent with literature data. When standardizing linden flowers and medicinal herbal preparations based on them, it is recommended to use quercetin and kaempferol derivatives as marker compounds. These compounds are specific and the inclusion of a definition of this group of biologically active compounds in the RD to confirm authenticity seems very relevant when standardizing linden flowers.

Introduction. Study of non-pharmacopoeia species of Crataegus L. an important task of modern pharmacy. More than 40 wild species of Crataegus L. grow in Russia, and more than 90 species have been introduced. The State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation for hawthorn fruits and flowers uses standardization of flavonoids in terms of hyperoside. However, a number of authors are developing methods for standardization of various raw materials of the genus Crataegus L. for other target substances, for example: vitexin, vitexin-2-rhamnoside, rutin, procyanidins, quercetin, catechin, anthocyanins. The purpose of the work is to search for differences in the chemical composition of introduced species of the genus Crataegus L. in the conditions of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Material and methods. The objects of the study were shoots of 23 non-pharmacopoeial species of the genus Crataegus L. and shoots of the pharmacopoeial species Crataegus sanguinea Pall., taken for comparative analysis, harvested during the flowering period in 2019–2022 in the South Ural Botanical Garden-Institute – a separate structural subdivision of the Federal state budgetary scientific institution "Ufa Federal Research Center" of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Ufa in the Republic of Bashkortostan. Comparative qualitative analysis was carried out by TLC and UV-spectrophotometry. Results and discussions. As a result of chromatographic studies, it was found that hyperoside and vitexin are present in all the studied species. As a result of the study of UV spectra, it turned out that in 18 studied species of Crataegus L., the maximum absorption was observed at 410± nm, which indicates the predominance of hyperoside, and in other 6 species, the maximum absorption was observed at 396±2 nm, which indicates the predominance of vitexin in raw materials. Comparing the data obtained, it turned out that in the subgenus Americanae, the accumulation of hyperoside is observed in most species – 81% of the studied species, in the subgenus Sanguinea – 50% and in the subgenus Crataegus – 100% of the studied species. Conclusion. According to the studies obtained , the European species Crataegus L. they accumulate mainly vitexin, and Asian and American species of Crataegus L. – hyperoside. The most promising for further research are C.rivularis, C. calpodendron, C. collina, C. horrida, C. laurentiana, C. pennsylvanica, C. submollis, C. densiflora, C. douglasii, C. macracantha, C. prunifolia.

Propolis Trigona sp. has many benefits closely related to the secondary metabolites contained therein. Previous research related to propolis screening of Trigona sp. from North Lombok has been carried out. Still, it has yet to be carried out in the maceration method (1:20 w/v) with 70% water and ethanol solvent to obtain a comparison of secondary metabolites between the two solvents. This study aims to identify the content of secondary metabolites in the water extract and 70% ethanol extract of propolis Trigona sp. from North Lombok. Propolis was macerated with water and 70% ethanol solvent. The viscous extract was identified for its physical characteristics, consistency, color, and chemical characteristics through phytochemical screening. The results of the phytochemical screening showed that the aqueous extract and 70% ethanol extract contained alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, triterpenoids, and quinones. Both extracts showed negative saponin results.
Developed a Method for Satellite Image Compression Using Enhanced Fixed Prediction Scheme
Authors: A. Jabbar Altaay Alaa
Published: July 2024

Image is widely used in modern life which produces huge amounts of data and that required to store them with minimized space. Image compression is the mechanism by which a digital image is effectively compressed to minimize the number of bits used to display an image. The images take huge space in the computers or servers, hence a long time during transmission. This paper provides an enhanced compression method to reduce the store size and the cost of transmission using a fixed predictive scheme. Predictive coding eliminates spatial redundancy between successive neighboring pixels since only a few information outcomes have to be encoded. This paper suggested an enhanced method to improve image compression of Satellite Images without missing data by using a static structure (predictions) that compresses image data without loss based on the fixed prediction technique. The Satellite Images data was used to test the enhanced method by using six Satellite Images. The achieved results were very promising conducting a compression ratio up to 79.35%. The SNR/PSNR was tested to check the quality of the compressed images with a value =38.30.
An Incremental Ensemble Diversification in Data Stream Classification using Improved Hoeffding Trees with Thompson Sampling
Authors: Al-Shammari Ahmed
Published: July 2024

Data stream classification is a challenging task because of disruptive changes in the data distribution, also known as concept drift. Ensemble diversification is a crucial method in data stream classification, offering improved adaptability, flexibility, and efficiency.  In such cases, it is recognized that having an additional diverse ensemble of components improves prediction accuracy. Existing works have shown serious drawbacks in terms of accuracy and response time. This requires an adaptive approach for selecting components with high performance. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed an incremental ensemble diversification approach in data streams classification based on the combination of Improved Hoeffding Trees and Thompson Sampling (IHTTS). Our proposed approach begins with generating an initial set of classes for the data stream with timestamp (tn), then updating the classes when newly incoming data arrive (tn+1), and finally combining module diversity and prediction accuracy. The results on real datasets verify the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed IHTTS approach.

ESTUDO DO PAPELÃO ONDULADO DE PAREDE DUPLA, COMO MATERIAL ALTERNATIVO DE MOBILIÁRIO COM DESIGN ECOLÓGICO
Authors:   , Franco Annibal Gouvêa
Published: July 2024

Nos últimos dez anos, a capacidade mundial instalada para produção de papelão ondulado cresceu 3,5% ao ano. Do total de papéis consumidos, 35% é direcionado à produção desse material. O papelão ondulado possui constituição simples, alta versatilidade e é reciclável, por isso tornou-se um dos materiais mais utilizados na produção de embalagens de todo tipo de
produto. Contudo, o seu reaproveitamento como matéria prima para produção de novas embalagens tem vida útil limitada. Como consequência, as embalagens, após uso, têm sido responsáveis pelo aumento de fluxo de lixo no planeta. Dessa forma, muito se tem investigado sobre o reaproveitamento do papelão. Uma alternativa interessante, do ponto de vista ambiental, seria a produção de móveis e/ou objetos não convencionais, utilizando embalagens de papelão ondulado. Nesse trabalho é feito um levantamento, a partir da literatura, sobre a aplicação do papelão ondulado como material para fabricação de móveis, assim como sua caracterização, a partir das principais propriedades químicas, físicas e mecânicas. Foram realizados os ensaios de Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV), difração de raios-X, ensaios de determinação da gramatura, resistência ao estouro, determinação da resistência à compressão de coluna e resistência à compressão de corpos de prova, fabricados com geometria e configuração específica, tomando como base a literatura. Os resultados indicam que existe uma carência de estudos mais aprofundados sobre o papelão ondulado. Apesar da falta de informações técnicas, o papelão apresentou boa resistência e potencialmente apresenta-se como um material de grande viabilidade e trabalhabilidade para ser aplicado no design de móveis.
