The rise in the prevalence of diabetes is attributed to changes in human behavior, environment, and lifestyle. The prolonged survival of diabetes patients has been made possible by better care, but this is accompanied by chronic long-term problems brought on by hyperglycemia. Diabetes-related conditions like ketoacidosis or hypoglycemia are fewer common causes of death for diabetics than cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cardiovascular disease is more common in diabetes patients by a factor of 2 to 6 compared to the general population. Additionally, diabetics with CVD have a worse prognosis for survival than those with CVD who don't have diabetes, and their quality of life also declines. As a result, diabetes has been compared to a non-diabetic patient who has a history of heart disease in terms of risk. Identifying patients with a high risk of developing CVD can help prevent or delay cardiovascular events. Chemists must closely monitor these issues to manage CVD prevention and related ones. Patients taking aspirin and clopidogrel for an extended period should be constantly monitored due to the possibility of resistance. Guidelines have been developed to monitor and manage aspirin and clopidogrel in CVD preventive therapy.

AbstractThe personal judges of the Constitutional Court are the main pillars for realizing the independence and impartiality of the Constitutional Court. The composition of the nine judges at the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia, proposed three people by each state institution namely the People's Representative Council (DPR), the President, and the Supreme Court (MA). The involvement of the three state institutions in the mechanism for filling the positions of Constitutional Justices has the potential to trigger a conflict of interest (especially in the DPR and the President) which has an impact on the credibility and independence of the appointed Constitutional Justices. The research is doctrinal research by conceptual approach and statute approach. Results study explains that the dynamics of politics in Indonesia do not mature so that the guardian of Constitutional Court judges is threatened. Therefore, to avoid this offense, it is necessary to form an ad hoc committee in the process of selecting candidate judges for the Constitutional Court as a form of implementing independence. AbstrakPersonal hakim Mahkamah Konstitusi merupakan pilar utama untuk mewujudkan independensi dan imparsialitas Mahkamah Konstitusi. Komposisi sembilan hakim pada Mahkamah Konstitusi Republik Indonesia, diajukan tiga orang oleh masing-masing lembaga negara yakni Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR), Presiden, dan Mahkamah Agung (MA). Keterlibatan ketiga lembaga negara tersebut dalam mekanisme pengisian jabatan hakim konstitusi, berpotensi akan memicu terjadi konflik kepentingan (terutama di DPR dan Presiden) yang berdampak pada kredibilitas dan independensi hakim konstitusi yang ditetapkan. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian hukum normatif (doctrinal research) dengan pendekatan analitis (conceptual approach), pendekatan undang-undang (statute approach). Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa dinamika perpolitikan di Indonesia tidak kunjung dewasa sehingga terancamnya marwah hakim Mahkamah Konstitusi. Oleh sebab itu, menghindarkan ketersinggungan tersebut maka perlunya membentukan panitia ad hoc dalam proses pemilihan calon hakim Mahkamah Konstitusi sebagai bentuk implementasi independensi.

Digital Mapping of Dengue Mosquito Movement towards Weather Factors, Mosquito Density, and Cultural Factors in Jember Regency
Authors: Jalu Prastyantoko Kukuh , Wahyuni Dwi , Bukhori Saiful
Published: June 2023

This study aims to map a digital movement of the Aedes aegypti mosquito in high-risk areas for dengue fever outbreaks, taking into account the public’s knowledge of dengue fever, attitude towards their environment, action towards the environment, environment conditions of the community, weather and climate factors, and mosquito density assessed through the House Index(HI). This study is a quantitative observational analytic research with a cross-sectional design. The result of the linear regression test on the cultural variable of knowledge, attitudes, and family support showed an value of α >0,05, indicating the knowledge, attitude, and family support are not important internal factors in aeradicating dengue fever. Mainwhile, the action and community leader support variable showed value α <0,05, which are important internal and external factors in reducing dengue fever levels. Then, HI value for these sub-districts is 6-7, meaning thet the mosquito density is high. The Aedes aegypti mosquito buffer zone has a flying distance 200 meters according to the CDC, so ares within that reach can be affected. This is clarified by using a digital map of the risk area of the Aedes aegypti mosquito causing dengue fever. In conclution, the digital map that includes cultural data, aera characteristics starting from weather, climate, population density, altitude, temperatue, humadity, and characteristics of mosquitoes inhabiting an area, whether they are clustered os spread, can cause the movement of dengue fever mosquitoes or Aedes aegypti to become more aggressive in their activities. So, the internal and external factors in the habitat of the Aedes aegypti mosquito can cause its movement to become more dunamic in spreading the dengue virus.

Authors: Li Qing , McNary Scot W. , Boyd Tracy
Published: June 2023

Aiming to bridge the gap in the field of computational thinking and computing education, this study examines preservice teachers’ knowledge of and self-efficacy related to CT assessment. It also develops a reliable instrument to understand the construct of teacher assessment of CT. Specifically, the research questions focus on investigating the extent of preservice teachers’ knowledge and level of self-efficacy of CT assessment, and identifying the difference between demographic variables on teacher knowledge and self-efficacy related to CT assessment. Adopting a cross-sectional survey design, the participants were 182 preservice teachers. Both descriptive statistics and Exploratory Factor Analysis were used to analyze the data. The results show that the preservice teachers know little about how to use CT assessment to help students, and they believe they know even less about using specific assessment techniques to accomplish assessment.

Progress Reimagined: A Generation Z Perspective on Belfast in Relation to the UNSDGs
Authors: MacLeod Rebecca , Love Haman Lucy , Miller Erin , Ernster Emilee , Moore Camryn , Wray Meghan , Baltazar Daron , Jackson Ricardo , Lopez Eduardo
Published: June 2023

This research explores a contemporary outsider view of Belfast, through the eyes of Generation Z visiting college students, in relation to how three United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) are carried out (Good Health and Well-Being, Climate Action, and Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). To learn through firsthand accounts, the researchers utilized ethnographic and phenomenological methods, as interacting with locals to gather community inputs, surveying different groups in the city, recording quotes said by citizens and displayed at billboards, and applying personal sensory experiences. It was found that a political deadlock plays a major role in the lack of steadiness. The research shows that Northern Ireland has progressed in many ways but also that it is still being limited by inefficient governmental practices. The rather brief time spent in Belfast barely allowed the researchers to feel and sense its atmosphere but deterred them from making recommendations. Keywords: Gen Z, Belfast, UNSDG, phenomenological, ethnographic

Published: June 2023

Pemecahan masalah merupakan kemampuan tingkat tinggi, di mana setiap siswa mempunyai gaya kognitif yang berbeda-beda dalam memecahkan masalah. Keberhasilan dalam pemecahan masalah tergantung kesadaran atas informasi yang diketahui dan ditanyakan, rencana pemecahan masalah dan pelaksanaan rencana pemecahan masalah yang dikenal dengan metakognisi. Meskipun masalah yang dihadapkan sama, tetapi setiap siswa mempunyai kemampuan metakognisi yang berbeda. Hal tersebut dikarenakan beberapa faktor, salah satunya adalah perbedaan gender. Pada pengkajian ini akan dideskripsikan tentang profil metakognisi siswa laki-laki serta perempuan kelas X atas pemecahan masalah matematis materi trigonometri. Jenis pengkajian ini yakni pengkajian kualitatif deskriptif yang bertujuan guna mendeskripsikan profil metakognisi siswa laki-laki serta perempuan atas solusi pemecahan masalah matematis materi trigonometri serta mendeskripsikan perbedaan profil metakognisi siswa laki-laki dengan siswa perempuan atas pemecahan masalah matematis materi trigonometri. Subjek pengkajian ini yakni satu orang siswa laki-laki serta satu orang siswa perempuan yang masing-masing diambil dari siswa berkemampuan tinggi di kelas X-I SMA Negeri 2 Sragen Tahun Ajaran 2022/2023. Teknik pengumpulan data atas pengkajian ini yakni observasi, wawancara, dokumentasi, serta tes metakognisi. Kemudian teknik analisis data meliputi tiga kegiatan utama antara lain yakni reduksi data, penyajian data, serta mengambil kesimpulan serta verifikasi. Hasil pengkajian menegaskan bahwa profil metakognisi siswa laki-laki hanya mencapai aspek perencanaan, sedangkan profil metakognisi siswa perempuan sudah mencapai aspek perencanaan, pemantauan serta evaluasi sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa kemampuan metakognisi siswa perempuan lebih tinggi daripada siswa laki-laki.
Enabling circularity for food safety: the rooftop farming model
Authors: ÖZSOY Tufan
Published: June 2023

Population growth, environmental change, urbanization, consumption patterns, waste, the global political climate, conflicts, and infectious diseases all exert a strain on global food security. Access to sufficient and nutritious food is becoming increasingly problematic, particularly for individuals living in less developed and developing countries. More individuals are becoming aware of the significance of developing a "Green Economy" approach to ensure global food security. A multifaceted strategy is required to ensure global food security. This study emphasizes the need for regional self-sufficiency for the transition to a green economy, and as a model proposal, it is suggested that it would be beneficial to encourage and develop farming operations on the roofs of residential, commercial, and public housing in urban regions. Rooftop farming, as one of the urban agriculture practices, can be utilized as a strategic instrument to achieve a variety of key aims, including enhancing the local economy, reducing inequality, internalizing responsible production and consumption by society, improving the quality of urban life, and more. Furthermore, because of the novel production processes seen in urban agriculture, circularity in production and consumption, a key component of the transition to a green economy, can be realized. "Self-sufficiency" is one of the concepts underlined in this study. The study also includes real cases highlighting the potential benefits of rooftop farming.
Integrando teledetección e inventario multi-temporales a escala árbol (Eucalyptus) para predecir dinámica forestal y optimizar la gestión forestal en Mato Grosso, Brasil
Authors: Tupinamba Simoes Frederico , Guerra-Hernández Juan , Pascual Adrian , Bravo Felipe
Published: June 2023

El establecimiento de especies arbóreas de rápido crecimiento (Eucalyptus spp.) es crucial para suministrar productos forestales a las economías en desarrollo. Sin embargo, la creciente frecuencia, gravedad y duración de las sequías amenazan la viabilidad de estos importantes ecosistemas. En Mato Grosso (Brasil), donde el estrés hídrico es el principal factor limitante del eucalipto, se registró en 2019 el segundo evento de sequía más grande de toda la serie histórica. Los datos del inventario forestal que comprenden miles de mediciones de árboles tomadas en 2019, 2020 y 2021 se han modelado utilizando modelos de efectos mixtos para identificar los factores más significativos que influyen en la mortalidad y la dinámica de crecimiento de los cuatro genotipos de eucalipto diferentes. Se utilizó un vehículo aéreo no tripulado (UAV) para obtener un mosaico de imágenes en el espectro visible -rojo, verde y azul (RGB)- a muy alta resolución (VHR), además de modelos digitales de superficie (DSM) y cálculos del índice de vegetación (VI), que se utilizaron en la clasificación de la mortalidad mediante una segmentación centrada en el objeto. Las tasas de crecimiento y mortalidad se vieron significativamente afectadas durante la sequía; el efecto de la sequía de 2019 fue más pronunciado en rodales con alta densidad de árboles. La selección del material genético y la densidad de plantación pueden utilizarse como factores silvícolas para gestionar más eficientemente las plantaciones forestales frente a los efectos del cambio climático, incluyendo los eventos de estrés hídrico extremo. Implicaciones: Este estudio ilustra la necesidad de ajustar las directrices silvícolas para reducir el impacto de la sequía en las plantaciones de Eucalyptus y cómo las tecnologías de teledetección, las mejoras genéticas y la investigación operativa aplicada pueden integrarse para mejorar la eficiencia y la resiliencia de las plantaciones de Eucalyptus y explorar los límites óptimos de productividad bajo el cambio global.
Influence of fin thickness variation on the thermal performance of metallic foam heat sink laminar condition
Authors: Alaa Marwa , Jubear Abbas J. , Al-Bugharbee Hussein R.
Published: June 2023

In recent years, open-pore metallic foams have been employed in a wide variety of applications owing to the essential qualities that they possess. In the present study, the thermal performance of a finned heat sink made from open-cell copper foam was investigated numerically under laminar forced conditions. The influence of fin thickness, air velocity, and heat fluxes on the average heat sink base temperature to ambient temperature difference, the Nusselt number, and pressure drop were investigated. Fin thickness was generally taken as 2, 5, 7, and 10 mm. Heat fluxes were taken from (600 to 3000) W/m2, while the air velocity was taken from 0.04 to 0.16 m/s. The findings of laminar flow indicate that straight fins with a thickness of 10 mm minimize the temperature difference between the heat sink's base and the surrounding air the most, followed by fins with thicknesses of 7 mm, 5 mm, and 2 mm. At 3000 W/m2, a change in velocity from 0.04 to 0.16 m/s increases the average base temperature difference (i.e. (Tbase-Tamb)) by 118.9% for a heat sink with 10 mm straight fins. . At a heat flow of 600W/m2, the Nusselt number grew by 72.6%, 60.7%, and 45.7% when fin thickness was raised from 2 mm to 10 mm, 2 mm to 7 mm, and 2 mm to 5 mm, respectively. The results also demonstrate that the pressure drop rises with increasing fin thickness.

Enhancing Public Support for International Sanctions
Authors: Kantorowicz Jaroslaw , Kantorowicz-Reznichenko Elena
Published: June 2023

International sanctions are commonly used when military intervention is particularly undesirable. The recent Russian invasion of Ukraine increased the saliency of sanctions, as well as their high domestic costs for the sender states. Democratic states require public support to sustain long and costly sanctions. Yet empirical research on public perception and support for sanctions is scarce. We conduct two experimental studies on quota-representative samples in Poland and Germany using the context of the sanctions on Russia. The first study uses a novel conjoint experiment with the goal to examine how features of a sanctioning regime shape public support for sanctions. As expected, support increases with a decrease in domestic costs and increases in costs imposed on the target state. In addition, aid programs, which can mitigate domestic costs, and beneficial policy alternatives (e.g., developing sustainable energy to replace Russian oil) can enhance support. Furthermore, public support for sanctions requires larger sanctioning countries’ coalitions. In the second—information experiment—study, we find that people overestimate the sanctions’ costs for their country and that correcting this perception through the provision of estimated costs increases reported support. Yet, contrasting sanctions costs with other costs has no additional effect.

Differential expression of TYR in cancer of the skin: malignant melanoma.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: June 2023

Skin cancer is diagnosed in nearly 1.5 million patients each year (1). While patients with basal and squamous cell carcinomas are provided with 5-year survival rates at nearly 100% and 90%, respectively, patients diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma (metastatic melanoma) are provided 5-year survival rates at 91.4% at stage I and 24.6% at stage IV (2-5). We mined published microarray datasets (6, 7) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with the deadliest type of skin cancer, malignant melanoma. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding tyrosinase, TYR, when comparing melanoma tumor tissue from the human skin to the tissue of origin. TYR mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in melanoma tissues as compared to normal tissues from the skin. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of TYR in melanoma tissues was correlated with overall survival in patients with malignant melanoma. TYR expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of malignant melanoma in humans.

The Missed Potential of Deep Brain Stimulation of the Pedunculopontine Nucleus for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Elsawy Ahmad , Valiante Taufik
Published: June 2023

GABAergic parvalbumin positive interneurons (PVIN) play a pivotal role in synchronizing neuronal ensembles firing within the hippocampal-neocortical network, which is the essence of memory encoding, retrieval, and consolidation. Moreover, PVIN activity is well-recognized to be the cellular surrogate of cortical gamma oscillations (~ 20-50 Hz), a key neural signal pertinent to memory and cognition. Unsurprisingly, PVIN and gamma oscillations are both impaired in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Remarkably, optogenetic stimulation of PVIN at gamma frequency has been showed to rescue memory deficits, upregulate microglial clearance of Aβ, and restore theta-gamma coupling in AD animal models. These findings sparked a huge interest in entraining cortical gamma oscillations as a promising treatment modality for AD. Pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) is an area in the mesopontine tegmentum that is believed to entrain cortical gamma oscillations. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the PPN has been studied in Parkinson’s disease patients to address axial motor symptoms resistant to conventional targets. Despite showing inconsistent results regrading motor symptoms, DBS of the PPN consistently improved memory and cognition across multiple studies, an observation that was passed unnoticed by the cognitive neuromodulation field. Through presenting a neural network model we propose that entraining PVIN is responsible for the memory and cognitive gains serendipitously observed with DBS of the PPN. To that end, we are calling for pilot clinical trials investigating DBS of the PPN for the treatment of AD and possibly other forms of dementia.

Progress report on the global energy system
Authors: Kirk Alexander P
Published: June 2023

Manufacturing and installation of new power generating capacity based on renewable energy sources — predominantly in the form of electricity generated by solar photovoltaic modules and wind turbines, along with energy storage, predominantly in the form of electrochemical energy storage in batteries — are occurring worldwide at a relatively large-scale compared to the recent past. Meanwhile, prominent panels, agencies, organizations, and groups including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, International Renewable Energy Agency, World Meteorological Organization, International Energy Agency, and G7 have pointed out the need for urgent action to revamp the global energy system and take care of our ecosystems. In this paper, the progress in ramping down the emissions of greenhouse gases while ramping up the deployment of solar and wind power and battery storage are quantified and analyzed. Particular attention is placed on the difference between installed power capacity and actual power generation. Additionally, deforestation, fossil fuel-based plastic proliferation, and the additive energy demand associated with direct air capture of carbon dioxide are briefly analyzed. Overall, much greater haste is warranted in the endeavor to change the legacy fossil fuel dominated global energy system to a cleaner renewable energy dominated system and also to halt and reverse ecosystem degradation.

Civil society initiatives addressing COVID-19 in Rio de Janeiro (PT)
Authors: Pereira Rodrigo Curty
Published: June 2023

Handwashing is key for stemming COVID-19 transmission, but many communities around the world lack access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). This research investigated the work that civil society organizations (CSO) developed with vulnerable populations in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the COVID-19 pandemic. We interviewed 15 CSO leaders working in the region.This study had three research questions:1. How do leaders of civil society organizations perceive the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations with limited access to safe WASH in Brazil?2. What actions have CSOs implemented to support vulnerable populations during the COVID-19 pandemic?3. What is the perceived level of success of these actions according to CSO leaders?Our key findings revealed that:1. Vulnerable populations faced generalized fear and confusion, high rates of COVID-19 infections and income loss. Additionally, CSO leaders noted an increase and diversification in people seeking assistance, as well as rising police and domestic violence.2. CSOs focused on providing relief aid by donating food, water, hygiene kits, and personal protection equipment (PPE). They invested too in partnering with other organizations and raising awareness about COVID-19, hygiene practices, and public health measures.3. Initiatives perceived as successful included the construction of water infrastructure and fundraising. Compliance with public health measures, on the other hand, had significant limitations.
Sages and Seekers: The development of diverse adolescents’ transcendent thinking and purpose through an intergenerational storytelling program
Authors: Riveros Rodrigo , Yang Xiao-Fei , Gonzalez Maria José , Immordino-Yang Mary Helen
Published: June 2023

Adolescents develop capacities for emotionally engaged social thinking that transcends concrete situations, enabling them to infer values, beliefs and broader perspectives with implications for themselves and the world. We examined how such transcendent thinking emerged and promoted purpose within a formative, intergenerational relationship. Adolescent-older adult pairs from low-SES urban communities completed an 8-week relationship-building program previously shown to increase purpose (Riveros & Immordino-Yang, 2021). Adolescents described their experiences in weekly video-diaries and composed a culminating tribute to their elder partner. Video-diaries revealed that both initial levels and increases in adolescents’ transcendent meaning-making across the program additively contributed to increases in purpose (controlling for pre-program level); in tributes, transcendence correlated with purpose post-program. Transcendence emerged in discussions involving micro-developmental patterns of recollections and emotions, and especially when reflecting on partners’ struggles. Results highlight the instrumental role of transcendence in adolescents’ development, and how meaning-making within close relationships may support psychosocial growth.
A Cognitivist Framework on Behaviorism Interventions
Authors: Pachankis Yang I.
Published: June 2023

The meta-scientific analysis in psychiatry seeks to reconcile the theoretical differences between behaviorism and cognitive psychology from a neuronal perspective. It develops from Butler’s biopolitics concept and the environmental determinants of public health and biology in general. In the broader perspective, behaviorism is taken as the reflexive contents from consciousness in cognitive psychology, and the multivariable in psychodynamics is outlined in the framework. The methods introduce external nucleons as the psychiatric element in bridging the theoretical gaps between behaviorism and cognitive psychology.
Quantum-like Qualia hypothesis: from Quantum Cognition to Quantum Perception

Published: June 2023

To arbitrate theories of consciousness, scientists need to understand mathematical structures of quality of consciousness, or qualia. The dominant view regards qualia as points in a dimensional space. This view implicitly assumes that qualia can be measured without any effects on it. This contrasts with intuitions and empirical findings to show that by means of internal attention qualia can change when they are measured. What is a proper mathematical structure for entities that are affected by the act of measurement? Here we propose the mathematical structure used in quantum theory, in which we consider qualia as “observables” (i.e., entities that can, in principle, be observed), sensory inputs and internal attention as “states” that specify the context that a measurement takes place, and “measurement outcomes” with probabilities that qualia observables take particular values. Based on this mathematical structure, the Quantum-like Qualia (QQ) hypothesis proposes that qualia observables interact with the world, as if through an interface of sensory inputs and internal attention. We argue that this qualia-interface-world scheme has the same mathematical structure as observables-states-environment in quantum theory. Moreover, within this structure, the concept of an “measurement instrument” in quantum theory can precisely model how measurements affect qualia observables and states. We argue that QQ naturally explains known properties of qualia and predicts that qualia are sometimes indeterminate. Such predictions can be empirically determined by the presence of order effects or violations of Bell inequalities. Confirmation of such predictions substantiates our overarching claim that the mathematical structure of QQ will offer novel insights into the nature of consciousness.
Why is the Rescorla-Wagner model so influential?
Authors: Soto Fabian , Vogel Edgar Harry , Uribe-Bahamonde Yerco , Perez Omar David
Published: June 2023

The influence of the Rescorla-Wagner model cannot be overestimated, despite that (1) the model does not differ much computationally from its predecessors and competitors, and (2) its shortcomings are well-known in the learning community. Here we discuss the reasons behind its widespread influence in the cognitive and neural sciences, and argue that it is the constant search for general-process theories by learning scholars which eventually produced a model whose application spans many different areas of research to this day. We focus on the theoretical and empirical background of the model, the theoretical connections that it has with later developments across Marr’s levels of analysis, as well as the broad variety of research that it has guided and inspired.
Taking the help or going alone: ChatGPT and class assignments
Authors: Hill Brian
Published: June 2023

There is increasing speculation about the future role of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots aiding humans in a variety of tasks. But do people do better when aided by these tools, as compared to when they complete tasks on their own? Can they properly evaluate and where necessary correct the responses provided by ChatGPT to enhance their performance? To investigate this question, this study gives university-level students class assignments involving both answering questions and correcting answers provided by ChatGPT. It finds a significant reduction in student performance when correcting a provided response as compared to when they produce an answer from scratch. One possible explanation for this discrepancy could be the confirmation bias. Beyond emphasising the need for continued research into human interaction with AI chatbots, this study exemplifies one potential way of bringing them into classroom: to raise awareness of the pitfalls of their improper use.

Social media data enable insights into human behavior. Researchers can access these data via platform-provided Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), but these come with restrictive usage-terms that mean studies cannot be reproduced or replicated. Platform-owned APIs hinder access, transparency, and scientific knowledge.
