Introduction. The left main stem (MS) coronary artery (CA) (MSCA) thrombosis is a rare but potentially lethal manifestation of acute coronary syndrome. The standard approach in treating such patients is the primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) or CA bypass graft surgery. In some cases, depending on the morphological appearance of the thrombus, findings and flow rates assessed on coronary angiography (CAn), clinical conditions, and cardiologist?s experiences, another possible method of treatment can be the conservative approach using antithrombotic therapy. Case report. A 37-year-old male was admitted to the emergency room with symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction with an ST elevation in diaphragmal localization. Using an emergency CAn, we have visualized a thrombus at the ostial and proximal part of the left MSCA, with no complete obstruction of the blood flow. Initially, dual antithrombotic therapy (ticagrelor and acetylsalicylic acid) was applied, and in the further procedure, it was decided to introduce glycoprotein IIb/IIIa platelet receptor inhibitor (tirofiban) as an intracoronary bolus (0.3 ?g/kg) and later as a continuous infusion (0.1 ?g/kg/min). Four days later, a control CAn and intravascular echocardiography were performed, and it was decided to continue the treatment using conservative therapy without a pPCI procedure. The patient was discharged in good condition with no signs of illness on the eighth day after hospital admission for home recovery, with planned frequent follow-ups in the future. Conclusion. In the case of non-obstructive thrombotic masses without significant atherosclerotic stenotic lesions, conservative treatment modality with the use of aggressive antithrombotic therapy may be considered.

Published: April 2023

Nowadays, In Ukraine one can observe the main tendencies inherent in the leading NATO member states in the field of reforming the military education system. In the domestic educational space, these tendencies are caused by the problematic content that was formed in the process of reforming the state and military education system, which requires finding ways to solve the current issues and tasks, both in theory and in practice. The purpose of the article is to determine the main tendencies in the development of military education in Ukraine which are developed in the field of theory and practice of modern pedagogical science with relevant problematic content. A system of general scientific and special methods of theoretical and empirical research (analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization and systematization) was used in order to analyse development tendencies of the scientific discourse related to the military education in Ukraine. It was determined that standardization is one of the main development directions of the military education system in Ukraine. The principle of professionalization of military education, which is implemented on the basis of the development of the system of profession-oriented training aimed at military specialists, is actively developing. It remains an integral component of the military education system as a whole, taking into account new requirements to the quality of profession-oriented training aimed at military specialists in accordance with the standards of NATO member countries. The use of the competence-based approach remains relevant. At the same time, the competence-based approach requires a significant expansion within the field of theoretical reflection which is ensured by the orientation to the conceptualization of the development processes of the military education system, in particular within the framework of the concept-centric approach. It was determined that the development of innovative approaches is another tendency. As a result of the analysis, it was established that the use of institutional, concept-centric and innovative approaches that actively use the acquisitions made within the competence paradigm are the main tendencies in the development of military education in Ukraine; they can be considered to be the solution for theoretical and practical issues based on the principles of professionalization.

A Markov State Model of Solvent Features Reveals Water Dynamics in Protein-Peptide Binding
Authors: Raddi Robert , Voelz Vincent
Published: April 2023

In this work, we investigate the role of solvent in the binding reaction of p53 transactivation domain (TAD) peptide to its receptor MDM2. Previously, our group generated 831 μs of explicit-solvent aggregate molecular simulation trajectory data for the MDM2-p53 peptide binding reaction using large-scale distributed computing, and subsequently built a Markov State Model (MSM) of the binding reaction (Zhou et al. 2017). Here, we perform tICA anlaysis and construct an MSM using only solvent-based structural features, and find a remarkably similar landscape and implied timescales for the slowest motions. The solvent shells contributing most to the first tICA eigenvector are those centered on Lys24 and Thr18 of p53 TAD peptide in the range of 3–6 Å. Important solvent shells were visualized to reveal wetting and dewetting transitions along peptide-protein binding trajectories. Our results provide a solvent-centric view of the hydrophobic effect in action for a realistic peptide-protein binding scenario.

Authors: Susanti S. , Kumoro A.C. , Suzery M. , Oku H.
Published: April 2023

The ginger leaf is an underutilized component of the ginger plant that contains antioxidant
chemicals in the form of terpenoids, phenols, and flavonoids, making it effective as a free
radical inhibitor. To improve the advantages of ginger leaves, it may be utilized as a food
supplement product in the form of syrup as an alternative in product development. The
purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sweeteners on the physical properties
(viscosity), chemical properties (pH, total phenol, and antioxidant activity), and
organoleptic properties of ginger leaf extract syrup (SEDJ), as well as the optimal type of
sweetener to generate the most favoured syrup. With five repeats, this study employed a
range of sweeteners, including T1 (sorbitol), T2 (sucrose), T3 (HFS), and T4 (honey). The
results revealed that sweetener usage in SEDJ had a significant influence (p<0.05) on the
pH, viscosity, and organoleptic properties of ginger leaf extract. Based on the highest level
of panellist preference, SEDJ with honey sweetener is the best treatment that is nutritious
as an antioxidant.

Published: April 2023

Purpose: Teachers’ roles in delivering classroom instructions and executing lessons in this 21st century is much bigger than assumed by many who are not in the teaching field. Some people perceived teaching is a stressful job and those who do not have the passion would give up after a certain number of years. Many have opted for early retirement and this number has increased year by year. Thus, this study aims to analyze the factors (health, school management and workload) that influence teachers’ intention towards early retirement.

Design/Methodology/Approach: 152 teachers were chosen from four cluster schools in Dungun, Terengganu and online questionnaires were distributed among them using Stratified Random Sampling Method. The data was analyzed using SPSS.

Findings: The results show only teachers’ health influence them towards early retirement intention. Meanwhile, the other factors are viewed as a challenge in the teaching world and would not influence them to opt for early retirement.

Implications/Originality/Value: This finding will assist the Ministry of Education in taking actions, to circumvent   teachers from leaving their profession before reaching the compulsory retirement age. As a result, the school’s management will focus on improved alternatives in managing the teachers’ welfare and controlling the factors of early retirement among teachers.

Entrepreneurial activities are very important in increasing national economic growth, driving the creation of new jobs, and increasing product competitiveness. However, entrepreneurship education organized by the government is mostly formal education and is more directed at implementing the needs of big business. Therefore, this study aims to find a model of community empowerment through non-formal entrepreneurship education that can increase the independence of micro, small and medium enterprises through sustainable growth. This research is a qualitative descriptive study involving non-formal entrepreneurship education institutions in Sragen, in the Sragen Business School. Data were obtained through interviews and quasi-participatory observation, using instruments in the form of interview guides and observation guides. There were 17 participants consisting of administrators, mentors, alumni, and students of the Sragen Business School. Data analysis was carried out inductively using an interactive model from Miles and Huberman which consisted of 5 steps, namely data collection, data presentation, data reduction, drawing conclusions, and verification. The research findings show that the model of community empowerment through non-formal entrepreneurship education enables micro, small and medium enterprises to grow sustainably so that they become more independent. This model emphasizes the importance of the synergy of empowerment, facilitation, modeling, and communication based on local culture. This model allows for it to be implemented by small groups of people and does not require large investments. The findings of this study have implications for the development of community-based, non-formal entrepreneurship education to develop the independence of micro, small and medium enterprises.

This work reports a new application for a well-known medicinal plant used in Brazil. The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the aqueous extract of Monteverdia ilicifolia (MI) leaves as stabilizing and reducing agent is described. The AgNPs-MI obtained were characterized by UV-VIS, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopies, DLS, zeta potential and FEG-SEM, which demonstrated that M. ilicifolia was effective at capping the AgNPs, yielding stable suspensions. These nanoparticles were deposited on glassy carbon electrodes, and they were efficiently applied as electrochemical sensors for the determination of dopamine (DA) using square wave voltammetry (SWV). The AgNPs-MI improved the electrochemical properties of the electrodes and enhanced their electroanalytical performance. The developed sensing device presented detection and quantification limits equal to 0.52 and 1.74 ?mol�L�1, respectively, towards DA determination. The proposed electrochemical sensor quantified this neurotransmitter successfully, confirming its potential as a new promising analytical detection tool for DA quality control.

Favorable conditions are created for the competitiveness of domestic winegrowing products. Another vector of agricultural development is the growing popularity of organic farming products farming in the world. The Federal Law No 280-FZ “On Organic Products and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” was adopted and entered into force on January 01, 2020. The principles of organic production are increasingly spread in viticulture production. Consequently the cultivation of resistant grape varieties is of great importance, because classic European varieties require repeated pesticide treatments to protect crops and plants from diseases. The purpose of the research is to assess qualitative composition of wine materials of a group of new resistant grape varieties for the production of red wines. The research involved the following resistant wine grape varieties by VCR breeding with red berry color: Merlot Early, Merlot Khorus, Cabernet Volos, Cabernet Eidos. Merlot variety served as the control. The origin of varieties is complex interspecific. The evaluation of the varieties of a new generation was carried out according to the methods generally accepted in viticulture and winemaking. When assessing the elemental composition of wine materials, quantitative parameters of the presence of 27 mineral elements in leaves and wine materials were established. It was found that potassium (1329.0–1877.0 mg/l) is in the first place in terms of content in wine materials, followed by sulfur, calcium, magnesium, silicon, phosphorus, sodium, boron, iron, copper, manganese, zinc. A significant excess of the content in the leaves and wine materials of the control variety compared with the experimental varieties was established by the content of iron, sodium, sulfur, phosphorus. The silicon content was higher in the experimental wine materials.

Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the issues of crime prevention among adolescents in the Irkutsk region. The authors note that at present there is a tendency of a steady decrease in the number of officially registered crimes among minors in the Irkutsk region. There are several reasons for the de-crease in this indicator, including demographic, a certain level of latency of this type of crime and others. The analysis of the state of legality indicates an increase in cases of aggression on the part of students against peers and teachers, the introduction of prohibited items into schools in educa-tional organizations. In other words, the authors touch upon the problem of schoolshooting. Focusing on the modern criminological features of juvenile delinquency in this region, the authors talk about the need for further prevention of deviant behavior of children. In particular, the Prosecutor's Office of the Irkutsk region has now initiated the development and submission to the Legislative Assembly of the Irkutsk region of a draft regional law «About mentoring minors in the Irkutsk region». In addition, the authors draw attention to other normative documents with great preventive potential, for exam-ple, the Foundations of state Policy for the Preservation and Strengthening of Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values, approved in 2022 by the President of Russia. In conclusion, the authors state the need for further continuous preventive work with minors.

The density of meteorological stations in most watersheds across the globe is far lower than recommended by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). However, for some basins, including those used as pilot, an adequate quantity of weather stations is crucial for collecting high-accuracy data. This study aimed to 1) estimate the optimum number of meteorological stations and 2) demarcate the most appropriate sites for their installation considering physical and environmental factors directly and indirectly influencing both objectives, i.e. to develop a well-optimized weather station network. The Weighted Overlay method and six (6) environmental factors –- precipitation variance, slope, elevation, proximity of existing stations, land cover and land use, as well as distance from roads –- were applied to delineate the potential locations. All parameters were mapped out separately and then reclassified for scoring (0 to 100 scale) based on their significance. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was applied to determine the impact of each factor. Based on the analysis, the precipitation variance received 38% weight, while the distance from road was computed to reach only 3% weight. The Weighted Overlay map of the Karasu Watershed was delineated into corresponding highly suitable, moderately suitable, suitable, marginally suitable, and not suitable zones. Finally, the recommended station locations were validated using a hypsometric curve to ensure proper coverage of different elevations. The research will improve the climate change and water resource management applications by informing them with sufficient climatic data about the entire target area including all variations, as well as will help addressing the challenge of data shortage and thus increase the quality of future thematic research.
Representations of Teachers in the Print Media : An Intertextual Analysis on Teacher Identity in the 6 Australian Newspaper Articles
Authors:   Korean Industrial Technology Convergence Society, Ahn Jung-Han
Published: April 2023

The research examines how Australian newspaper journalists represent the general impression and identity of teachers in the teacher related 6 Australian newspaper articles listed from 17 March, 2017 to 1 June, 2017. Linguistic discourse forms and defines the perception of reality at the same time, playing a crucial role in making social identity. The image of teachers and the instruction of teachers are created not only by the people actively participating in the formation of such a perception but by the social context they exist in as well. Therefore, the linguistic discourse used in the newspaper media directly and indirectly both affects the way the public perceives teacher identity. This paper focuses on examining the representation of teachers appearing in the 6 articles of the 3 Australian newspapers through the analysis of the education related articles of newspapers and looks into how the public perceives teachers in newspaper media discourse. In other words, the aim of the research is to ascertain the social identity of teachers which the media has constructed and what the representation does mean in the formation of social identity of teachers made in the result of interpretation of the newspaper media. Furthermore, the research attempts to discuss the impact of the formation of teacher identity on social awareness towards teachers and the instruction of teachers and employs a way such as textual analysis in the light of the nature of the research.

Published: April 2023

This study investigated the effects of self-shielded arc welding on the microstructures of welded parts in laminar-cooled-thermo-mechanical-controlled-process (LC-TMCP), titanium nitride (TiN), and B grade steels. The microstructure of the fusion zone was the same in all three samples, consisting of ferrite (grain boundary ferrite (GBF)+acicular ferrite+ferrite side plate) and pearlite phases, and the LC-TMCP and TiN steels had a higher volume fraction of ferrite and smaller grain sizes than those of the B grade steel. In all three samples, the microstructure near the fusion line consisted of ferrite and pearlite phases with a small amount of bainite, and the grain sizes of the LC-TMCP and TiN steels were smaller than those of the B grade steel. In addition, the TiN steel was smaller than the TMCP steel, and the volume fraction of ferrite (GBF, etc.) was the highest in the B grade steel and lowest in the TiN steel. The microstructure of the heat-affected zone included a phase in which a small amount of bainite was present in the ferrite and pearlite phases near the fusion line (1 mm) in all three samples. However, the shape was different from that of the base material, and the grain size was the largest in the B grade steel and smallest in the TiN steel. The volume fraction of ferrite (GBF, etc.) was the highest in the B grade steel and lowest in the TiN steel. All three samples had the same shape as the base metal phase at 5 mm from the fusion line. However, grain was growth.

A method of food selection known as "food diversification" does not rely solely on one type of food but rather on a variety of food ingredients, starting with production, processing, distribution, and household food consumption. West Sumbawa Regency is a potential area in the development of alternative local food crops to replace rice, such as yam, corn and other tubers. This study aims 1) To determine the factors that influence local food diversification in West Sumbawa Regency 2). Formulate a strategy for developing local food diversification in West Sumbawa Regency. This study employs SWOT analysis in a descriptive manner. Results using the SWOT analysis obtained five strategies, of the five existing strategies three strategies were obtained which were prioritized, namely: 1). maximizing the utilization of land potential and local food consumption habits to support the success of food diversification, 2). Increasing human resources in producing local food variations and increasing the habit of consuming local food in anticipation of the mushrooming of restaurants with modern/imported food, 3). Creating new markets through agro-industry, in the provision of diverse and quality food so as to increase income. The conclusion is that the food diversification strategy was based on internal and external factors by analyzing opportunities, threats, strengths, and weaknesses and generating three prioritized strategies.

Kima is one of the protected marine resources. It has an ecological role as a water bio-filter and a symbiotic mutualism with coral reef ecosystems. The purpose of the research was to find out of species density and composition of clams (Tridacna sp.) based on the coral coverage on the waters island of Wawosunggu, South Konawe. The study was conducted in September 2022. Sampling was carried out at 3 observation stations based on habitat characteristics. The observing method used a transect belt/swept area. Data in the form of density, relative abundance of clams, and percentage of coral cover analyze by using MS software. Excel 2010. The number of clams obtained was 155 individuals consisting of 3 types, namely Tridacna maxima, T. squamosa, and T. crocea. The totally density (totals from species and locations) was 0.10 individuals/m2. The composition of all types of clams ranges from 25-56%. The percentage of coral cover obtained was grouped into 4 categories, namely fleshy seaweed/algae, hard coral, abiotic, and other biotic. The percentage of coral cover at all stations was dominated by the hard coral category (Acropora sp. and non Acropora sp.) with water quality conditions that supported the presence of clams and coral reefs.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menganalisis pengaturan perkawinan sesama jenis berdasarkan tujuan perkawinan dan landasan filosofis pembentukan Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan. Dalam penulisan ini menggunakan penelitian hukum normatif. Jenis pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah studi dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa bentuk perkawinan yang sah menurut Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan, tidak mengenal adanya bentuk perkawinan sesama jenis bahkan dalam hukum adat dan hukum agama yang diakui oleh Indonesia. Perkawinan sesama jenis bertentangan dengan moralitas Ketuhanan karena tidak sesuai dengan kodrat manusia diciptakan berpasangan yaitu pria dan wanita sehingga perkawinan sesama jenis tidak dapat mengemban visi dan misi kemanusiaan sesuai dengan kodrat manusia diciptakan yaitu membentuk keluaraga bahagia dan kekal yang terdiri dari suami, istri dan anak-anak sebagai keturunan guna menjamin keberlangsungan manusia berdasarkan Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa.

Milkfish is a type of fish that has good nutritional content for the human body and can be processed into any processed food, such as pilus amplang for milkfish. The reason for choosing milkfish as the basic ingredient for making pilus amplang is because most of the people in Lembar Village work as pond fishermen who have various types of fish, one of which is milkfish. The expected goal of this community service program is to be able to become an alternative in increasing the source of community income, as an effort in the forerunner of the emergence of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and being able to increase the productivity of the people of Lembar Village. The method used in community service is through socialization and demonstration activities related to how to make milkfish amplang pilus to the people of Lembar Village, especially PKK mothers in Lembar Village, how to pack it, and market it properly

There is increasing evidence of the influence of the gut microbiota on kidney diseases and precursors such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and its complications, such as stroke, heart failure, and myocardial infarction. This is no surprising considering that the most common risk factor for hypertension, such as age, sex medication, and diet, can also impact the gut microbiota. For example, sodium and fermentable fiber have been studied in relation to both hypertension and the gut microbe Inflammation and fibrosis are the important pathophysiologic processes in diabetic kidney disease (DKD), which is induced by epigenetics, especially histone posttranslational modification (HPTMs). Have been indicated to play different roles in the repair of DNA damage. Recent reports highlighted that butyrate, one of the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) primarily originated from the fermentation of dietary fiber in the gut, attenuates inflammation and fibrosis in the prevention and treatment of DKD, however the molecular mechanisms are still unclear. Histone lysine butyrylation (Kbu), a novel histone modification marker induced by butyrate, has been found to be involved in the regulation of pathophysiological processes. To reveal the mechanisms of butyrate-induced histone (Kbu), in the prevention and treatment of DKD, both DKD models in vivo and in vitro were treated with sodium butyrate (NaB). The results confirmed that exogenous NaB improved the disorder of glucose and lipid metabolism, prevented proteinuria and renal failure, and inhibited renal inflammation and fibrosis New treatment options in the form of prebiotics (dietary fiber), probiotics (lactobacillus spp) and postbiotics (the short-chain fatty acids acetate, propionate, and butyrate) have all been demonstrated to be beneficial in the kidney disease. We should include short-chain fatty acids such as butyric acid in our patients with kidney disease regardless of the etiology to maintain the intestinal microbiota and avoid dysbiosis that causes inflammation, proteinuria, endothelial dysfunction.
