Published: October 2023

Objetivo: este artigo tem como objetivo compreender e analisar o consumo de pornografia realizado pela população brasileira quanto: a relação entre gênero e consumo pornográfico, aos efeitos do acesso a pornografia precocemente e a problemas de desenvolvimento sexuais referentes ao uso de pornografia como estímulo para a masturbação. Método: trata-se de um estudo descritivo, de abordagem quantitativa que ocorreu durante o mês de abril de 2022. Os participantes do estudo foram convidados a participar voluntariamente da pesquisa por intermédio de uma postagem na mídia social Edusexual2021, contemplando 102 pessoas. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de formulário do Google® composto por 18 questões, contendo a dimensão social, dimensão sobre o consumo de pornografia, dimensão sobre a vida sexual.  Resultados: os dados demonstram que a pornografia é amplamente consumida pela população, principalmente pelos mais jovens e indivíduos do gênero masculino. O início dessa prática ocorre na adolescência, fase na qual as pessoas estão mais suscetíveis a mudanças sociais, de personalidade, fisiológicas, relacionadas às alterações hormonais comuns do período da puberdade. Considerações finais: o estudo evidencia que as distorções causadas pela pornografia podem impactar a vida sexual da população e que a falta de orientação sobre o consumo de pornografia faz com que alguns jovens tenham dificuldade em se relacionar uns com os outros, devido aos conceitos e ideias concebidas pela indústria pornográfica, como o machismo. É imprescindível que haja uma educação sexual forte e de qualidade, para, além de desconsiderar os tabus existentes, desmistificar os vínculos interpessoais e incentivar relações sexuais saudáveis e consensuais.

Authors: Gill Prabhjot Kaur
Published: October 2023

From the last decade, the use of probiotics for human health has received greater recognition as scientific authentication and validation keep on increasing in the properties, functionality, and beneficial effects of probiotics Lactobacillus on human health. In the group of lactic acid bacteria the Lactobacillus is the predominately strains and most utilized for the production of fermented dairy products, sourdough, vegetable foods, meat or used as probiotics. Lactobacilli are considered especially as beneficial bacteria, because they are recommendable microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract, urinary, and genital systems without causing any disease. The gastrointestinal tract absorb the probiotics and stimulates the immune system and activate the regulatory T cells that further release the IL-10. On the other hand, bacteriocins a kind of ribosomal produced antimicrobial peptides synthesized by different bacteria and stable to heat. Many researchers purified and identified bacteriocins for utilization in food industry to extend food preservation time, manage pathogenic diseases and cancer therapy, and maintain human health. In the future Bacteriocins possibly become a potential drug candidate to treat multiple drugs resistance pathogens instead of antibiotics. The European Food and Safety Authority deny the health claims of probiotics because of unavailability of molecular mechanisms and their modes of action, irreproducibility of trials, as well as strong individual responses of the hosts, and strain-specificity. Similarly, information on the dose effects are still lacking and need explored further so that probiotic become potential substitute of the antibiotics for the cure of the diseases. Various techniques have been developed for construction of genomic modifications in Lactobacillus, including food-grade ones which results in strains labelled as non-GMO. These are still very useful for the multitude Lactic acid bacteria applications wherever GMOs are not acceptable. Nowadays consumers are aware of gut health and concept of preventative health care, therefore growing demand for probiotics increasing day by day. Therefore, the present review focused on the developments and applications of the Lactobacillus and bacteriocins producing lactobacillus.
A Review on the Prospective Applications of Fungal Keratinases
Authors: Mini K. D.  , Paul Mini K. , Mathew Jyothis
Published: October 2023

Keratin is the most abundant insoluble protein in the epithelial cells of vertebrates and represents the major constituents of skin, hair, feathers, wool, and nails. It is among the hardest-to-degrade animal protein, the major component in poultry feathers. Keratinases are exciting proteolytic enzymes that display the capability to degrade the insoluble protein keratin, recalcitrance to common proteolytic enzymes like pepsin, trypsin, and papain. Keratinases are versatile enzymes gaining momentum in the field of Biotechnology with potential applications. As the keratin is too hard to degrade, substrates like hair, hoof, horn, feather nail etc. can be treated effectively with keratinases, which is considered as the remarkable application of the enzyme. The poultry feather degradation using keratinase improve the nutritional value of feather meal and can be applied for the production of rare amino acids like proline, cysteine, serine, and methionine. The potential use of these enzymes have been associated with cosmetic industry and acne treatment. The other applications of keratinase include the production of biofuel, detergent, films, coatings, glues and pesticidal toxins, degumming of silk, scale removal from wool fibre, degradation of prions etc. Keratinases are mainly produced by different microorganisms like fungi and bacteria which are considered as biodegradable, eco-friendly enzymes without any harmful effects like that of the chemical counterparts. As the separation of bacterial keratinase is a cost intensive process compared to fungal keratinase, the review is focussed on isolation, purification and prospective applications of fungal keratinase.

Tämä artikkeli käsittelee suomalaisten nuorten näkemyksiä digitaalisiin peleihin liittyvästä peliraivosta. Artikkelissa tutkitaan, kuinka suomalaiset kuudesluokkalaiset (N = 12) ja yhdeksäsluokkalaiset (N = 8) nuoret jäsentävät sopivan ja sopimattoman peliraivon rajaa. Tutkimuksen aineisto muodostuu puolistrukturoiduista teemahaastatteluista, jotka analysoidaan induktiivisella laadullisella sisällönanalyysilla. Tuloksista selviää, että jonkin tasoista tunteiden kuohahtamista pidetään yleensä ymmärrettävänä ja luonnollisena osana digitaalista pelaamista. Nuoret peilaavat sopivan ja sopimattoman peliraivon rajaa erityisesti raivoamisen tapoihin ja sosiaaliseen kontekstiin sekä peliraivosta aiheutuviin seurauksiin. Tulosten perusteella nuorilla ei ole yhtä selkeää rajaa sopivalle peliraivolle, mutta heillä on kuitenkin jossain määrin jaettu ymmärrys sopivan ja sopimattoman peliraivon piirteistä erilaisissa tilanteissa.

What is appropriate and what is not? Young people’s views on gamer rageJuho Kahila, Sanni Kahila, Satu Piispa-Hakala, Jaana Viljaranta & Henriikka VartiainenThe Finnish Journal of Youth Research (Nuorisotutkimus) Vol 41 (3), 4–15
This article delves into the viewpoints of Finnish young people regarding gamer rage in digital games. The study explores how Finnish sixth-graders (N = 12) and ninth-graders (N = 8) define the boundary between appropriate and inappropriate gamer rage. The dataset consists of semi-structured thematic interviews, which were analyzed using inductive qualitative content analysis. The results reveal that a certain level of emotional turbulence is generally considered an understandable and natural aspect of digital gaming. The young people reflect on the boundary between appropriate and inappropriate gamer rage in terms of modes of rage expression, the social context, and the consequences of rage. The findings suggest that young individuals do not possess a singular clear-cut boundary for appropriate gamer rage, but they do share some common understanding of the characteristics of appropriate and inappropriate rage in different situations.

Liminaalisuuden, eräänlaisen välitilan, merkitys sekä kussakin elämäntilanteessa että pelaamisen orientaationa on syytä ottaa huomioon yritettäessä ymmärtää rahapelaamisen motiiveja ja luisumista peliriippuvuuteen. Nuori ikäryhmä joutuu herkästi elämään liminaalisuuden tilassa – päättymättömältä tuntuvan nuoruuden ja aikuisuuden välissä. Tässä artikkelissa kehitämme rahapelaamisen orientaatioiden tulkintaa liminaalisuuden käsitteen avulla. Rahapelaamisen orientaatioilla tarkoitamme elämäntilanteen taustoittamaa motivaatioperustaa. Tarkastelemme rahapelaajien peliorientaatioita suhteessa heidän elämäntilanteensa vakauteen tai prekaarisuuteen. Peliorientaatioita käsittelemme ennen kaikkea deduktiivisen ajattelun pohjalta rakentuvina ideaalityyppeinä, vaikkakin niiden pohjalla on empiirisiä tapauksia. Kun muuttujina ovat yhtäältä elämäntilanteen vakaus tai epävakaus ja toisaalta pelaamisen turvallisuushakuisuus tai pyrkimys liminaaliin tunnetilaan, rakentuu neljänlaisia rahapelaamisen orientaatioita: sosiaalinen, rituaalinen, addiktiivinen ja maaninen pelaaminen. Rakentamamme malli auttaa ymmärtämään pelaamisen taustatekijöitä ja myös luisumista viihdepelaajasta ongelmapelaajaksi.

Gambling orientations in young adults’ precarious lives: developing an interpretive modelSari Näre & Jaana LähteenmaaThe Finnish Journal of Youth Research (Nuorisotutkimus) Vol 41 (3), 16–28

If we want to understand the motives for gambling and the transition to gambling addiction, it is relevant to pay attention to the meaning of liminality. In this article, we examine gambling orientations in the context of the stability and instability of living conditions based on two empirical datasets. We deductively construct four ideal types of gambling orientation: ritual gambling, social gambling, addictive gambling, and manic gambling. A pre­carious living situation seems to increase the risk of problem gambling. An understanding of the liminality of gambling orientations may dispel the feeling of shame around problem gambling.

Many Schools, colleges and universities around the world suspended classroom teaching due to the novel Covid-19 Pandemic. Due to this, switching to online teaching has impacted students' performance, motivation and overall SEL skills. The current report was to analyze the impact of the COVID pandemic on Primary school students. By using survey data technique and analysed using quantitative research method, 41 participants whose parents participated and the children are in the range of grades 1-8; 85% -90% of the respondents saw a shift in motivation and performance behavior towards learning caused by online learning. The results showed that there is a significant impact on students motivation due to the differences in virtual learning (internet connection/ noise disruption/ other activity disruption/ gadgets/ people) in virtual learning from the home, resulting in lowering the quality of learning and curriculum covered. Monotonous and prolonged theory-based virtual learning effects on students' participation. Learning performance is decreased due to differences in virtual learning such as internet connection or the not-so-conducive environment for learning. Limitation of practical learning (physical activity) due to prolonged online learning leads to demotivation in learning. Affecting students’ performance, the SEL overall development is decreased due to the limitation of physical activity in prolonged online learning. Students' time management and discipline are affected due to the differences in the virtual learning environment. Students become demotivated due to limitations to physical learning resources in prolonged online learning. External motivation are missing in a prolonged virtual environment learning leading to demotivation. As a result, students feel stressed because of online learning, hence, the academic performance of students has been affected negatively, leading to a decline in their grades’ Learning performance is decreased due to limitations in learning resources requiring extra work or covering less content in an online environment. In conclusion, is deciphered that all parents and teachers would like their children to receive holistic learning at schools being in school and not from home.
On Charles Mills’s “Black Radical Kantianism”
Authors: Huseyinzadegan Dilek ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2023

In this remembrance essay I reflect on my seventeen years of friendship and apprenticeship with Charles W. Mills. I focus on Mills’s “Black Radical Kantianism,” (2018) situating it in light of his earlier work on Kant, history of philosophy, political philosophy, and race, and demonstrating the lasting impact of Mills’s work especially on Kant Studies and Kantian moral-legal-political philosophy. In this analysis, I both acknowledge Mills’s radicalization of Kantianism as a major win toward making white supremacy visible in Kant Studies and political philosophy and remain skeptical of Mills’s strategy of revising liberalism and especially Kantianism for reparative justice projects. After all, holding multiple and seemingly contradictory truths at once is something I have learned from Charles, as it will become clear.

Published: October 2023

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in the world, affecting both men and women. In 2023, the American Cancer Society's reported that there will be approximately 297,800 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women and 2,850 in men, along with 55,750 cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in women. Further, an estimated 43,750 deaths are expected from breast cancer, of which approximately 43,180 are among women and 570 are among men. In this paper, we propose an automated grading system for breast cancer based on tumor's histopathological images using a combination of the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) for feature extraction and machine learning algorithms. The proposed system has four main phases: image preprocessing and segmentation, feature extraction, classification, and integration with a website. Grayscale conversion, enhancement, noise and artifact removal methods are used during the image preprocessing stage. Then the image is segment during the segmentation phase to extract regions of interest. And then, features are extracted from the obtained region of interest using the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) algorithm. The next, the images are classified into three distinct breast cancer grades based on the extracted features using machine learning algorithms. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed system was evaluated and reported using vary evaluation methods and the results showed a remarkable accuracy of up to 97% by the SVM classifier. Finally, the machine learning model is integrated into a website to improve the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer disease and facilitate the access and use of patient data. This will make the work easier for physicians to enhance breast cancer detection and treatment

Behavioral independence is a child's attitude or actions in determining and making decisions based on their own desires without depending on other people. However, what happens in the field is that students still do not have the confidence to make decisions regarding their education. One factor that causes this is birth order. This means that in the family parents give children the opportunity, trust and freedom to act based on the child's position or birth order. The aim of this research is to describe the behavior of the eldest and youngest children of SMP Negeri 1 Sungai Beremas students and see whether or not there are differences in the behavior of the eldest and youngest children. The research method used is a quantitative method with a descriptive-comparative analysis approach. The population in this study was 170 students and the sample was 119 students who were the oldest and youngest students. Samples were taken using the Slovin formula. The sampling technique used is probability sampling with simple random sampling. The instrument used is a behavioral independence questionnaire with an interval scale. The research results obtained were that the oldest and youngest children had an average of behavioral independence in the high category with an average result of 51 and 53. Meanwhile, the results of the t test analysis showed that there was a difference in behavioral independence between the eldest and youngest children with a significance of 0.015 with the mean behavioral independence of the eldest child of 101.56 and the mean behavioral independence of the youngest child of 105.17. So it can be concluded that the youngest child is more independent than the eldest child.

AN ANALYSIS OF POST-DISASTER RECOVERY EFFORTS IN TURKEY ACCORDING TO KURT LEWIN'S CHANGE MODEL EXAMPLE OF KAHRAMANMARAŞ AND HATAY PROVINCES
Authors: FATSA Nazım , AKDAŞ Salih
Published: October 2023

Turkey, which has a surface area of 780 thousand square kilometers, is a country that is in the position of a bridge between the European and Asian continents, most of which is in the Asian continent. Due to its location, Turkey's territory is highly prone to natural disasters and has faced many disasters such as earthquakes, floods, landslides and avalanches. This high- risk geography has hosted major earthquakes, floods, landslides and avalanches every five years on average. Turkey, which has been exposed to disasters whose exact location, time and type cannot be determined, is in a constant state of change in terms of managing and improving the post-disaster crisis situation, especially in terms of physical, economic and social losses after these natural events. Especially social losses after disasters can be classified as losses that take longer to recover, require more labor and cause countries to spend more energy after the crisis compared to physical and economic losses. Post-disaster social losses require adaptive measures and change management with reference to the previous situation, which has become obligatory to change. This study aims to examine post-disaster recovery efforts in Turkey in the context of Kurt Lewin's Three Stages of Change Model. In this direction, the studies related to the Three Stages of Change Model have been analysed and the social context of post-disaster recovery efforts around the theory has been evaluated within the framework of Kahramanmaraş and Hatay earthquakes.

Behavioural finance plays an important role in the field of finance. Behavioral finance refers to understanding how human behavior and psychological factors, including human emotions, affect financial decisions. The data used in this research is secondary data, which means data that is not directly provided to data collectors. This type of data comes from literature related to behavioral finance, such as books, journals, scientific articles, and websites. This research uses the systematic literature analysis (SLR) method. This research aims to increase the understanding of the factors that influence financial behavior in decision-making, identify trends regarding the review or study of financial behavior, and predict the type of research to come. It is expected that the findings of this research will provide new knowledge and perspectives on the current field of financial behavior studies. What contributions are needed at this time and may attract other researchers to study financial behavior in investment decision-making.
Finite cyclicity of the contact point in slow-fast integrable systems of Darboux type
Authors: Huzak Renato
Published: October 2023

Using singular perturbation theory and family blow-up we prove that nilpotent contact points in deformations of slow-fast Darboux integrable systems have finite cyclicity. The deformations are smooth or analytic depending on the region in the parameter space. This article is a natural continuation of [1,3], where one studies limit cycles in polynomial deformations of slow-fast Darboux integrable systems, around the ``integrable" direction in the parameter space. We extend the existing finite cyclicity result of the contact point to analytic deformations, and under some assumptions we prove that the contact point has finite cyclicity around the ``slow-fast" direction in the parameter space.

Statystyka usług w pracach Grupy Voorburg
Authors: Adach-Stankiewicz Ewa , Matulska-Bachura Agnieszka
Published: October 2023

From 19 to 23 September 2011 there was held in Newport XXVI Voorburg Group meeting on the service sector statistics. The group was founded at the initiative of Statistics Canada in 1986, in response to the demands of the UN as an informal forum for the support in the development of service sector statistics. Polish CSO participates in this group since 2006. Experience and knowledge gained in the group helped in clarifying the vision for the development of services sector statistics in Poland. The solutions used in other countries in this area allowed us to look differently than before on the tasks of the Office. Active participation in discussions and presentation of Polish experience in the group forum allowed for better preparation of sector studies, and also to seek new opportunities for their development. An important element of international cooperation in this regard will be the organisation of the next group meeting in 2012 in Warsaw.

Przemiany demograficzne na pograniczu polsko-białoruskim
Authors: Miszczuk Andrzej
Published: October 2023

This article aims to show the demographic change, with particular emphasis on the natural movement of population and migration, which occurred at the beginning of the twenty-first century in the Polish-Belarusian borderland, in the Lubelskie and Podlaskie Voivodships as well as in Grodno and Brest Circuits. Due to the availability of statistical data detailed analysis of changes in the natural movement of population covers the years 2000–2009, and 2000–2007 for migration. The analysis e. a. shows, that both the Polish and Belarusian part of the border are of depopulation character, but demographic processes on the Belarusian side have a more rapid process than on the Polish side.
Wielowymiarowa analiza zgodności wyników badania ankietowego
Authors: Machowska-Szewczyk Małgorzata , Sompolska-Rzechuła Agnieszka
Published: October 2023

The article presents a multidimensional analysis of compliance, using Burt matrix, which allows to detect relationships between categories of the dependent and independent characteristics. The surveys use often boundary analysis using two-dimensional contingency tables to detect relationships between pairs off characteristics. The analysis of compatibility addresses one of the most difficult tasks — allows to diagnose the accurate structure of responses, expressed by occurrence frequency of characteristics categories measured on a nominal scale. The presented method is illustrated on the survey example of students at the Zachodniopomorski University of Technology in Szczecin on the perception of changes in the functioning of the university (the merged Technical University and the Agricultural Academy in Szczecin). Source of data in the study was a survey, published on the websites of each university departments. It included questions about both the characteristics of a person, as well as its assessment of the institution, in areas such as: teaching, support for the Dean's Office and central university administration, universities rank, software offer, the chances of finding work for graduates, and the atmosphere at the university. The value of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of the analysis of compliance in a complex survey.

Authors: Machowska-Szewczyk Małgorzata , Sompolska-Rzechuła Agnieszka
Published: October 2023

The primary objective of the article is to present results of taxonomic studies, which use a dynamic approach in the selection of features. The resulting set of diagnostic features was used for classification in years 2002—2009 the average level of socio-economic development observed in the Polish voivodships. Procedure was applied taking into account changes in the relationship between adopted variables. The result is a set of diagnostic features, used to forecast the development of the phenomenon under investigation. The classification was carried out by assessing the similarity of years in terms of the average level of socio-economic development in the regions with the Penrose distance. Adjusting the dendrogram (tree diagram), obtained by application of the furthest neighborhood method, was measured using the cophenetic correlation coefficient.

Published: October 2023

By one of those happy coincidences that you sometimes get, today saw the publication of not one but two dinosaur ontogeny papers: this morning I was sent a copy of Woodruff and Fowler (2012) on ontogenetic changes in the bifid spines of diplodocoids, and tonight I was alerted to Werning (2012) on  Tenontosaurus  growth trajectories based on osteohistology. It’s interesting to compare them.

I just received this notification that Issa and Maloney have pulled the Research Works Act, presumably in response to Elsevier’s withdrawal of support.  So far, what’s at that link is all I know — I’ve not found a more official source for the text of the statement.  But it makes me happy that it includes language like: That represents a realism and progressiveness that I didn’t honestly expect to see from these quarters.
