Published: September 2023

Studying the network about the ability or the trend of cultural destination selection will help to better view the reality and needs of tourists regarding cultural tourism products and services, the routes the most popular tour, or the “forgotten” destinations. This paper investigates survey results from two hundred solo-traveler, and Gephi 9.2 software to figure out the values of nodes, edges, and level of connectivity between cultural destinations of Dalat. Among the eight tourist attractions with the characteristic of being the most prominent heritage destination of Dalat, only four of the most popular tourist attractions include Space of gong culture, Bao Dai Summer Palace 3, The Lycée Yersin, and Lam Dong Museum. Heritage tourism routes that formed through the choice of visitors are the linking of the following hot spots, namely, Space of gong culture, Bao Dai Summer Palace 3, The Lycée Yersin, Lam Dong Museum, and Cathedral of Dalat Diocese. The combination of destination information promotion in the media and cultural events is seen as the solution for attracting the attention of solo tourists. Furthermore, the development of special tourism promotion programs aimed at these customers must consider package product packages, and promotional opportunities to spread the opportunity to reach the destination more effectively. These can be seen as key recommendations for increasing tourist attraction to Dalat’s cultural tourism in the near future.

Authors: Nhi Bui Thi , Nam Tran The , Thuy Nguyen Thi , Oanh Nguyen Kieu , Trang Le Thi Thanh
Published: September 2023

How to increase positive word-of-mouth of customers for a brand is an interesting question not only for business managers but also for researchers. Based on the consumer value theory, authors try to consolidate the hypothesis “Customer perceived value, brand experience influence on brand attachment, customer satisfaction, and customers’ word-of-mouth in the context of smartphones market in Ho Chi Minh City”. The authors applied the PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling) technique to check the impacts of independent constructs on dependent constructs thanks to the information of 230 smartphones users. All hypotheses are confirmed by the results of the research. Such discoveries have both theoretical and practical implications. In theory, it supports the consumer value theory. In practice, enterprises should prioritize to offering more symbolic and emotional values for customers; to use influencers to share their feeling with customers. As a result, enterprises will have effective ambassadors for their brands.

Authors: Gulo Arifman , Putrawan Bobby Kurnia
Published: September 2023

We have been accepted as sons by the redemption of Jesus Christ, so that we may call God the Father. Therefore, let us live truly as children of God; live well and truly. For we want to touch his heart, call him by the name he loves. Call him Abba, Call Him Father. Of all his names, Abba The Father is Jesus ' call to God. We know that Jesus loved this name because it is the name that is most often used. When Jesus was on earth, he called God” Father " several times. In the prayer of victory on the cross, Jesus cried out with a loud voice; "Father, into your hands I commit my life” (Luke 23:46). God loves to be called Father. Jesus taught us to begin prayer with the words “Our Father”. Perfect love speaks of God's love. Since Jesus called God Abba, the love that can eliminate fear is the love of the Father. Agape love is perfect love, and that is the love of the father. He cares about us, he cares about us. Jesus cried Abba, O Father, so that we Christians who are given strength and salvation by-yes, can cry Abba, Father. We call him Abba, the Father because he is our Father, he cares for us, and He understands us. Perfect love exists only in the father and is able to eliminate all worries. If the Father loves Jesus as his son, the Father in heaven also loves us as his children as Christians who believe in the truth and the way of eternal salvation. For this reason, the author chose the title: "Abba Father", Jesus ‘call to God in the perspective of Biblical Theology from the book of Psalms 89:26, he will also cry out to me: 'My Father You Are God and my rock my salvation.’

Authors: Afanasieva Lyudmila , Hlebova Natalia , Bukrieieva Iryna , Glyns’ka Lyudmila , Chychanovskyi Ihor
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the study was to analyze situations of occurrence and spread of destructive rumors and, at the same time, to identify effective legal practices to counteract them in multicultural urban communities. In most cases, rumors do not reflect the factual situation, so they cannot be a tool for unbiased presentation of facts and, in the case of intercultural interaction, they can also provoke extreme and unlawful negative feelings about a certain group of people. The results of the study indicate that in the city Melitopol there are rumors about immigrants, refugees, ethnic groups, national communities or other groups, which are mostly negative. The analysis made it possible to identify the most common ethnic rumors: «Roma are thieves», «Jews are selfish»; confessional: «Muslims are terrorists»; socio-cultural: «IDPs live on state aid», «Ukrainians are cheap labor from Western Europe». Based on a qualitative analysis of social practices of Melitopol community members, in the conclusions the authors corroborate the effectiveness of ways of counteracting destructive rumors in multicultural urban communities as a legal means of solving the problems of intercultural interactions.
Probiosimilarity Study: A Comprehensive Approach to Compare the Attributes of Marketed Probiotics Containing Bacillus clausii
Authors: Natarajan Mathan , Kessavane Ragul
Published: September 2023

Background: Probiotics are widely accepted functional foods for general well-being and a healthy lifestyle. A robust approach to evaluate the bio-similarities between marketed probiotics still needs to be developed. Aim: We aimed to define an approach that uses time-tested methods to evaluate pro-biosimilarity between different marketed probiotics. Methods: A total of five different Bacillus clausii formulations were compared with the international reference standard Enterogermina. The spore quantity and microbial purity of the samples were estimated. The antibiotic resistance strains in oral suspension samples were isolated and subjected to molecular characterization by 16S rRNA sequencing. The antibiotic susceptibility test was performed using commercially available antibiotics. The pH and transmittance of the samples were measured. Results: Bifilac Clausi had the highest, while Entromax had the lowest density of quality spores. None of the products had contaminant pathogenic microorganisms. Based on 16S rRNA sequencing, four strains from Bifilac Clausi and Enterogermina and one strain from other samples were identified. The identity of the strains from Bifilac Clausi matched those of Enterogermina. Bifilac Clausi and Enterogermina were resistant to the ten antibiotics tested. Conclusions: Among the different Indian brands of Bacillus clausii, only Bifilac Clausi was found to be a pro- biosimilar to the international reference standard, Enterogermina.

Utilization of glycemic index values of commonly consumed foods in the provision of nutrition care to patients with diabetes: a case study at Bungoma county referral Hospital
Authors: Nyongesa Maureen Gacheri , Barasa Rabin Denis , Kiptoo Alex , Martin Darius Riziki
Published: September 2023

The estimated prevalence of diabetes in Kenya is around 2.2%. There is a lack of awareness on diabetes in Kenya, leading to delayed diagnosis and management. This lack of awareness hinders early intervention and control of the disease. The adoption of a more Westernized diet, which is often high in processed foods and low in nutritional value, coupled with a decrease in physical activity, has contributed to the rise in diabetes cases. Access to affordable medications, regular blood glucose testing, and specialized diabetes care can be challenging for many Kenyans. This can lead to inadequate glycemic control and increased risk of complications. Knowledge of the glycemic index is therefore key in managing the conditions; therefore, we explore how well healthcare providers understand and apply GI values of widely consumed foods together with the patients. Data was collected and analyzed using a descriptive cross-sectional study design, involving both care providers and patients. Most care providers had knowledge of GI but only 3/4 reported utilizing its utilization. Patients, therefore, had issues because of ignorance and consumed food with high GI. Healthcare providers should be better equipped and acquainted with the G.I concept to provide the right information to patients and follow up in management.

Equity and Inclusion in Indian Education: Constitutional Principles and NEP 2020 Approaches
Authors:   University of Lucknow, Singh Digvijay , Mishra Ravi Shankar
Published: September 2023

The education system in India is guided by a robust set of constitutional provisions that emphasize equitable and inclusive education. The Preamble of the Constitution highlights the importance of education without discrimination, while the Fundamental Rights ensure equal access and empowerment of marginalized communities. The Directive Principles of State Policy emphasize free and compulsory education, and specific provisions safeguard the interests of the country’s citizens, especially of weaker sections and minorities. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 builds upon this constitutional framework and aims to transform the education system, address disparities, and promote inclusivity. NEP 2020 focuses on equitable and inclusive education, strategies to bridge gaps and improve access for underrepresented groups, such as marginalized communities and children with disabilities. It also recognizes the significance of girls` education, alternative forms of schools, and promoting education for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. NEP 2020 aligns with the constitutional provisions and is complemented by the Right to Education Act (RTE) 2009. However, challenges in implementation, such as resource allocation and ensuring equitable distribution, need to be addressed. The constitutional framework and NEP 2020 provide a solid foundation for promoting equitable and inclusive education in India, reflecting the nation`s commitment to social development and inclusive growth. This review-based paper follows the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to highlight the significant constitutional provisions with respect to education theories learned in this course on Contemporary Themes in Education Policy and to provide an analysis of the “National Education Policy 2020” text. This paper shows insight into the national educational policy by keeping articles of the Indian Constitution in mind. This will benefit the policymakers to look into the loopholes in the document and the areas to work on.

A INIMPUTABILIDADE DO INDIVÍDUO COM TRANSTORNOS MENTAIS E A APLICAÇÃO DAS MEDIDAS DE SEGURANÇA PREVISTAS NO CÓDIGO PENAL BRASILEIRO
Authors: Feitosa Lindalva Inacio , Almeida Dário Amauri Lopes de
Published: September 2023

O presente estudo tem como objetivo geral analisar o regime de inimputabilidade das pessoas com transtornos mentais e a aplicação das medidas de segurança previstas no Código Penal Brasileiro. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico com abordagem dedutiva. A inimputabilidade do indivíduo com transtornos mentais é um conceito legal que reconhece a incapacidade dessas pessoas de compreenderem o caráter ilícito de suas ações ou de se determinarem de acordo com essa compreensão no momento da infração. No contexto do Código Penal Brasileiro, quando um acusado é considerado inimputável devido a um transtorno mental, ele não é submetido à pena criminal, mas sim a medidas de segurança estabelecidas pelo sistema legal. Essas medidas têm como objetivo combinar a proteção da sociedade com o tratamento e reabilitação do indivíduo. A internação em hospital de custódia e tratamento psiquiátrico é uma das medidas de segurança previstas, onde o indivíduo recebe tratamento médico adequado para sua condição mental. A aplicação dessas medidas visa equilibrar a justiça e a saúde mental, garantindo que indivíduos incapazes de serem responsabilizados por suas ações sejam tratados de maneira adequada e que a sociedade esteja protegida contra possíveis riscos decorrentes de seu estado mental. Contudo, o uso inadequado das medidas de segurança, aplicadas indiscriminadamente, pode levar à percepção de impunidade e estigmatização dos doentes mentais. Logo, é essencial encontrar equilíbrio na sua aplicação, considerando avaliações apropriadas e promovendo políticas de saúde mental e reabilitação.

Abstract. Carbon and nitrogen dynamics in the Sea of Japan (SOJ) are rapidly changing. In this study, we investigated the carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios of particulate organic matter (δ13CPOM and δ15NPOM, respectively) at depths of ≤100 m in the southern part of the SOJ from 2016 to 2021. δ13CPOM and δ15NPOM exhibited multimodal distributions and were classified as belonging to four classes (I–IV) according to the Gaussian mixed model. A majority of the samples were classified as class II (n=441), with a mean ± standard deviation of δ13CPOM and δ15NPOM of -23.7±1.2 ‰ and 3.1 ± 1.2 ‰, respectively. Compared to class II, class I had significantly low δ15NPOM (-2.1±0.8 ‰, n=11), class III had low δ13CPOM (-27.1±1.0 ‰, n=21), and class IV had high δ13CPOM (-20.7±0.8 ‰, n=34). All the class I samples, whose δ15NPOM showed an outlier of total datasets, were collected in winter and had a comparable temperature and salinity originating in Japanese local rivers. The generalized linear model demonstrated that the temperature and chlorophyll-a concentration had positive effects on δ13CPOM, supporting the idea that the active photosynthesis and phytoplankton growth increased δ13CPOM. However, the fluctuation in δ15NPOM was attributed to the temperature and salinity rather than nitrate concentration, which suggested that the δ15N of source nitrogen for primary production is different among the water masses. These findings suggest that multiple nitrogen sources, including nitrates from the East China Sea, Kuroshio, and Japanese local rivers, contribute to the primary production in the SOJ.

Abstract. Terrestrial microwave links are increasingly being used to estimate path-averaged precipitation by determining the attenuation caused by rainfall along the link path, mostly with commercial microwave links from cellular telecommunication networks. However, the temporal resolution of and method to derive these rainfall estimates is often determined by the temporal sampling strategy that is employed by the mobile network operators. Currently, the links are most often sampled at a temporal resolution of 15 minutes with a recording of the minimum and maximum values, while more recently also a form of instantaneous sampling with possible intervals up to 1 s has been set up. For rainfall research purposes, often high temporal resolutions in combination with averaged values are preferred. However, it is uncertain how these various temporal sampling strategies affect the estimated rainfall intensity. Here we aim to understand how temporal sampling strategies affect the measured rainfall intensities using microwave links. To do so, we use data from three collocated microwave links, two 38 GHz and one 26 GHz, sampled at 20 Hz and covering a 2.2 km path over the city of Wageningen, the Netherlands. We aggregate the microwave link power levels to multiple time intervals (1 s to 60 min) and use a mean, instantaneous, and minimum and maximum value to characterize the signal. Based on the aggregated data, we compute rainfall intensities and compare these with 20 Hz rainfall estimates, such that we isolate errors and uncertainties caused by the sampling strategies from instrumental effects, such as different biases between instruments and representativeness errors. In general, our results show that for all sampling strategies an increase in sampling time interval reduces the performance of the rainfall estimates, which especially holds for the instantaneous sampling strategy. Even the mean sampling strategy, which generally performs best of all strategies, is sensitive to this reduction in temporal resolution and could lead to significant underestimations. In this, the non-linear relation between attenuation and rainfall intensity seems to play an important role. The min-max sampling strategy is mostly prone to minor underestimations or large overestimations of the path-averaged rainfall intensities. Moreover, our results, including a comparison with theoretical events, show that the attenuation due to wet antennas not only affects the comparison between the rainfall estimates obtained with a microwave link and another reference instrument, but also has a significant influence on the rainfall retrieval algorithm. Overall, this study demonstrates the effect a selected sampling strategy can have on rainfall intensity estimates using (commercial) microwave links.

Abstract. Barium is widely used as a proxy for dissolved silicon and particulate
organic carbon fluxes in seawater. However, these proxy applications are
limited by insufficient knowledge of the dissolved distribution of Ba
([Ba]). For example, there is significant spatial variability in the
barium–silicon relationship, and ocean chemistry may influence sedimentary
Ba preservation. To help address these issues, we developed 4095 models for
predicting [Ba] using Gaussian process regression machine learning. These
models were trained to predict [Ba] from standard oceanographic observations
using GEOTRACES data from the Arctic, Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern
oceans. Trained models were then validated by comparing predictions against
withheld [Ba] data from the Indian Ocean. We find that a model trained using
depth, temperature, and salinity, as well as dissolved dioxygen, phosphate,
nitrate, and silicate, can accurately predict [Ba] in the Indian Ocean with a
mean absolute percentage deviation of 6.0 %. We use this model to
simulate [Ba] on a global basis using these same seven predictors in the
World Ocean Atlas. The resulting [Ba] distribution constrains the Ba budget
of the ocean to 122(±7) × 1012 mol and reveals
oceanographically consistent variability in the barium–silicon relationship. We then calculate the saturation state of seawater with respect to barite. This calculation reveals systematic spatial and vertical variations in marine barite saturation and shows that the ocean below 1000 m is at equilibrium with respect to
barite. We describe a number of possible applications for our model outputs, ranging from use in mechanistic biogeochemical models to paleoproxy calibration. Our
approach demonstrates the utility of machine learning in accurately simulating
the distributions of tracers in the sea and provides a framework that could
be extended to other trace elements. Our model, the data used in training and validation, and global outputs are available in Horner and Mete (2023, https://doi.org/10.26008/1912/bco-dmo.885506.2).
