Published: June 2024

This article presents a detailed analysis of 263 cases treated in the endocrinology sector of the Anclivepa Mazei Unit during the year 2023, exposing a significant change in the profile of endocrine diseases in dogs and cats. The results indicated a marked prevalence of obesity, reaching 20,53% of cases, and diabetes mellitus, representing 19,39%. Notably, the distribution by sex revealed a predominance of females (57.79%), of which a large proportion were castrated (80.26%). In terms of age groups, the highest proportion of animals treated were over 8 years old (68.82%). Furthermore, the analysis of the body score condition showed that, in addition to obese animals, 28.52% were overweight and 33.08% maintained an ideal weight, highlighting the need for nutritional intervention and weight management. Comparatively, the observed frequency of hypothyroidism was only 4.94%, marking a significant contrast with previous studies that highlighted this condition as one of the most prevalent in endocrine clinical settings. This study suggests that changes in pet lifestyle, influenced by owner practices, along with advances in diagnostic methods, play a crucial role in observed endocrine health trends. We also highlight the critical need to educate owners in regards to proper feeding and exercise practices for their animals, in addition to the importance of advancing the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.

China's Effort to Secure Strategic-Economic Project: Utilization of PSC to Secure Belt and Road Initiative
Authors: Nugroho Bayu Fajar , Nurilham Muhammad
Published: June 2024

The existence of the Military or Private Security Industry at the moment is very sporadic and massive—with an estimate that it will continue to grow until 2028. China is not an exception, particularly in light of the initiative known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which aims to increase connectivity. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a highly ambitious undertaking, but it is not immune to the numerous issues that have emerged, particularly with regard to security. There have been multiple threats, and even attacks, against BRI projects and workers; as a result, China has had to take steps to resolve the issues. China eventually discovered a low-key means to ‘exist’ after ceasing to utilize its military due to restrictions imposed by the concept of non-interference. This paper is an explanatory research that tries to reveal the phenomenon that occurs by using the existing conceptual framework and operationalization of concepts. The hypothesis then is that the Chinese PSC contributes directly to safeguarding BRI assets and employees, which then gives rise to new findings and trends in the Military or Private Security Industry, namely PSC with Chinese-Characteristics.

Published: June 2024

Pollinator insects play an important role in pollination to increase the productivity of flowering plants. The aim of this study was to analyze the abundance, diversity, and specific taxon of insect pollinators among different vegetable crops in local farmers' gardens. Insects were sampled from four gardens, namely polyculture long bean (KKP), eggplant polyculture (KT), curly chili monoculture (KCK), and Indofood chili monoculture (KCI) used nets and light traps. The results showed that the abundance and diversity of pollinator insects varied between gardens. The pollinator insect community in KCI was most similar to that in KCK; KT was similar to the KCI and KCK groups, while KKP were separate from the KT, KCK and KCI groups. The richest genus occurs in KKP, while chili plantations are the poorest. The apis genus in KKP and KT, and the Nomina genus in KCK and KCI were dominant. The specific pollinator insect genus in KKP is the richest. It concluded that plant species and cropping patterns contribute to the composition and diversity of the pollinator insect community.
Bottom Value
Authors: Greenblatt Jordana
Published: June 2024

Discourses of bottoming-related “risk” are paradoxical. Post-Bersani, queer theorists tend to simultaneously own and disavow bottomly risk, celebrating it as subjectivity-shattering, while “forgetting” its bottom-specificity, allowing tops to claim “risk” without experiencing it. This article explores the centrality (and forgetting) of bottoms to queer theorizations of subjective-shattering, in conversation with similarly contradictory mobilizations of bottomly risk as guarantor of responsible sexual behavior, specifically in the PrEP debates in public discourse, arguing that theoretical and health/community discourses both simultaneously inflate and minimize bottomly risk. Claimed as quintessential queer theoretical subversion, it is often erased in its specifically receptive capacity, while in health discourse, it is presented as a crucial deterrent to bad behavior, but one whose riskiness can be adequately dealt with via that very deterrence.
Dramatic Vignettes in Moral Inquiry
Authors: Colburn Ben
Published: June 2024

Anthropologists and philosophers have typically been skeptical about the use of dramatic vignettes in the study of ethics, in particular targeting three characteristic features of such devices—stylization, simplification, and selectivity—and arguing that they undermine ethical inquiry. I argue that this skepticism misconstrues the aims of arguments that incorporate such devices. Rather than seeing them as botched attempts at historical or scientific reporting, we should evaluate dramatic vignettes as a genre of ethically illuminating speculative fiction, useful for understanding the concepts and counterfactual commitments that are embedded in our ethical practices. So construed, they sit in a wider methodological context that vindicates them as a useful part of ethical inquiry.
Sexbots Playing the Imitation Game
Authors: Bialecki Jon
Published: June 2024

Anthropologists generally reject philosophical issue-based scenarios such as trolley problems, viewing them as thin and decontextualized in comparison to ethnographic engagement. This article argues, though, that philosophical scenarios and ethnography share a structural homology in that they are both attempts to articulate not only a range of solutions but also the nature of the underlying problem that generates them. It investigates the implications of this homology for anthropological analysis by comparing the Turing Test, here framed as a philosophical scenario, with how secular and religious American transhumanists discuss the possibility of sexual encounters with mechanical or computer-virtual entities.

Propagation of miscantus plant by micropropagation procedure
Authors: Zeman Silvija , Srpak Melita
Published: June 2024

Miscanthus is a perennial grass native to East Asia. Although miscanthus primarily spread in Europe and North America for its use as an ornamental grass, growing this plant is financially demanding, resulting in a limited area of cultivation in Europe. The aim of this work is to describe in detail different micropropagation systems applied to the miscanthus plant. Miscanthus propagation is done vegetatively, using underground rhizomes or young plants grown by tissue culture, known as micropropagation. Micropropagation stands out as an alternative and extremely efficient method of reproduction, given the high rate of multiplication and the additional advantage of preventing disease transmission. It represents a method of vegetative reproduction that takes place on artificially created nutrient media, controlled growth conditions and in vitro sterile conditions. Research materials and methods were based on latent buds of three-year Miscanthus × giganteus rhizomes. A 70 percent ethanol solution and a 0.1 percent HgCl2 solution were used for sterilization. Micropropagation of the miscanthus plant is an important technique for breeding purposes in the future as it offers a diverse range of advantages compared to the limitations of common and natural reproductive barriers in conventional breeding techniques. The results of this research are based on the fact that the process ensures a quick process of obtaining a large number of plants that are identical in genetic potential, growth and development of the species. This paper is structured in such a way as to point out the importance of miscanthus production by micropropagation, its characteristics, current knowledge about this plant, the achievements, future and perspective of miscanthus micropropagation using the in vitro technique.

The article presents a review of Russian and foreign research devoted
to the analysis of various components of oral speech of children with dysarthria. A
systematic review of publications from 2000 to 2023 on the problem of diagnosing
dysarthria in children using subjective and instrumental methods including a total
of 215 studies identified the following analysis criteria: type of article; analyzed
components of oral speech (breathing, articulation, phonation, prosody); research
methods. The analysis showed that the predominant amount of research devoted to
the study of oral speech of children with dysarthria is based on psychological and
pedagogical observation, digitalized methods are used less often. Objective speech
characteristics of children with dysarthria obtained using instrumental assessment
methods are highlighted: kinematic analysis, acoustic spectrographic analysis of
speech, electromyography, electromagnetic articulography, electropalatography, etc.
Familiarization of speech therapists with modern instrumental methods of examination
will expand the understanding of the possibilities of obtaining objective data in the
study of speech in children with dysarthria. This will allow us to identify new areas of
research involving instrumental methods for the development of modern diagnostic and
therapy methodologies to overcome dysarthria in childre

Monoglucosyl rutin, a flavonoid glycoside, improves low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels in healthy adults: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Hashizume Yushi , Tandia Mahamadou
Published: June 2024

Background: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) continues to be a significant contributor to global mortality, impacting over 523 million individuals worldwide.  Dyslipidemia stands as one of the foremost risk factors for ASCVD. Thus, prioritizing the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels is essential in mitigating cardiovascular complications. 
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the lipid-lowering activity of a dietary supplement containing monoglucosyl rutin (MR) in individuals with low to mild hypercholesterolemia.
Methods: This was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study conducted from April 20 to December 24, 2022. The study population included 56 healthy Japanese adult participants with LDL-C levels between 120–139 mg/dL who were randomly allocated to either the MR or placebo groups (n = 28/group) using a computerized random number generator. 200 mg of MR or placebo divided into 3 tablets was given daily; participants were instructed to take 1 tablet with water after each meal for 12 weeks. The main focus was on measuring the serum LDL-C level as the primary outcome, with additional attention given to secondary outcomes such as serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol, and nonHDL-C levels. The study also evaluated the percentage of participants achieving serum LDL-C levels below 120 mg/dL after the 12-week intervention.  Assessments were conducted after 4, 8, and 12 weeks of intervention.
Results: There were 54 (27 in each group) participants in the per-protocol set (PPS) and 53 (placebo group, 26; MR group, 27) participants in the modified PPS (mPPS). A statistically significant group difference in serum LDL-C levels was observed (P < 0.05), with a 5.0% decrease from preintervention to after 12 weeks. The reduction in LDL-C levels coincided with (statistically significant?) decreases in total cholesterol levels, nonHDL-C levels, and the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio. During the study period, there was no adverse event or concern about the safety of MR.
Conclusions: MR has potential as a preventive or therapeutic tool for improving improve long-term health and reducing cardiovascular morbidity.

MOVEMENT PATTERNS, HOME RANGE, AND MICROHABITAT USE OF ALLIGATOR SNAPPING TURTLES (MACROCHELYS TEMMINCKII) IN A SMALL EAST TEXAS STREAM SYSTEM
Authors: Adams Connor S. , Gartenstein Sophia , Pierce Josh B. , Glasscock Jessica L. , Schalk Christopher M.
Published: June 2024

The alligator snapping turtle (Macrochelys temminckii), the largest freshwater turtle in North America, faces numerous threats, with population declines and range contractions suspected to have occurred across its historic range. Previous research studying movement patterns and microhabitat use of M. temminckii has mostly been conducted in large, open, lentic environments and few studies have been conducted in small, lotic habitats. We investigated the movement and microhabitat use of adult female and juvenile M. temminckii within Bonaldo Creek, a small tributary of the Angelina River in eastern Texas. Six M. temminckii were monitored (two or three relocations per week) via radiotelemetry from July 2008 to September 2009. We found that the linear home range for adult females (405.1–1395.5 m) was longer than that of the unsexed juveniles (439.7–996.9 m), although movement frequency was similar between groups. Juveniles utilized a smaller subset of microhabitats compared to adult females. Adult females utilized microhabitats with abundant submerged structure, while overhanging vegetation was an important microhabitat feature for juveniles. The broader microhabitat use we observed in adult females may have been influenced by seasonal factors, highlighting the need for more long-term, seasonal assessments of M. temminckii movement and microhabitat. Such investigations will bolster our understanding of the spatial and temporal factors that influence M. temminckii populations in different systems.

Data collection techniques involve selecting relevant sources and then classifying, categorizing, and interpreting the data.  Results: The research results show the need for strategic steps to be taken by BAZNAS to collaborate with mosques. Then it ends with reporting, which is divided into two types. Firstly, reporting to the main mosque by accounting standard No. 109, which is forwarded to the regional BAZ to BAZNAS; secondly to the community for transparency and to maintain community trust. Implications: This research is expected to contribute to the zakat management system at the mosque zakat collection unit, especially in the field of collecting zakat funds by working with related institutions

Utilizing Machine Learning Ensemble Techniques for Crime Hotspot Analysis and Prediction
Authors: Mohammed Saifulla  , G. Chandrakala
Published: June 2024

By combining the predictions of trained classifiers, the ensemble learning approach generates new examples through cooperative decision-making. Evidence from early analysis has demonstrated the empirical and logical superiority of ensemble classifiers over single component classifiers. It is still difficult to identify the right configuration for a given dataset, even with the presentation of many ensemble approaches. Many theories based on prediction have been developed to address the topic of machine learning crime prediction in India. The dynamic character of crimes becomes difficult to ascertain. Crime prediction aims to lower crime rates and discourage criminal action. This study provides an authentic and efficient way for determining acceptable crime predictions: the assemble-stacking based crime prediction method (SBCPM), which applies learning-based strategies to produce domain-specific configurations compared to another machine learning model. The result implies that performer models are generally not particularly successful. The ensemble model occasionally outperforms the others with the best correlation coefficient, the lowest average, and the lowest absolute errors. The proposed method generated accurate categorization on the test data. Compared to previous research that just employed violence-based crime records as a baseline, the model's prediction effect is demonstrated to be stronger. The results further shown that criminological theories are congruent with any real-world crime data. The recommended strategy also proved useful in predicting possible crimes. and show that the ensemble model has higher prediction accuracy when compared to the individual classifier.
