Authors: Kim Taewon , Kang Hyeokin , Li Shufan , Jiao Jiannan , Kim Young-Jin
Published: December 2024

 Additive manufacturing of arbitrarily shaped, light-emitting 3D structures is a pivotal innovation for controlling the beam propagation direction, angular distribution, emission point, and wavelength of active light sources. These light sources, which include microscale lasers, light-emitting diodes, quantum dots (QDs), and other emerging materials, are crucial for applications such as 3D cellular imaging, biomedical endoscopy, linear and non-linear imaging spectroscopy, photonic circuit integration, optical computing, and high-precision metrology in semiconductor and flat-panel display inspection. To meet the diverse requirements of these applications, various light-emitting materials, such as fluorescent dyes, up-conversion nanoparticles, QDs, and non-linear optical media, have been incorporated into additive manufacturing techniques. Over the past decade, several additive manufacturing methods have been adapted for fabricating active 3D optical structures, including inkjet printing of functional inks, fused deposition modeling of light-emitting filaments, selective sintering of active material powders, and two-photon polymerization of photonic polymers. These methodologies offer unprecedented versatility in designing and constructing complex optical structures with integrated light-emitting properties. The advent of such novel 3D-printed active optical systems promises to revolutionize fields ranging from on-chip photonics to advanced spectroscopy and precise optical measurement techniques, ultimately enabling new frontiers in photonic technologies and their applications.
Solving Scalar Fields in AdS Space-Time using Parallel Computing and GPUs
Authors:   , Gregoryanz Philipp
Published: December 2024

Computers have been around a long time and used for many resources like gaming, emailing and science. Concerning the sciences, computers are excellent at repetitive tasks and crunching numbers without (much) error. In data science there are two methods of programming - serial and parallel. Both have the same goal and endpoint however depending on the problem, one might be more efficient in solving the problem. My thesis is on using parallel computing with GPUs to numerically solve a system of non-linear first order differential equations that describe scalar fields in AdS space-time. Since this has been done by another using CPUs, it will be important to compare that the simple case matches that of the previous paper. However once we have confirmed that our results match the previously found results, we can use graphic processing units to solve the problem to higher order and more accuracy.
Introduction to Literary Powerplays – Jewish Authors and Power in the Graeco-Roman Period
Authors: Göppinger Judith , Avineri Rotem
Published: December 2024

This special thematic section of Judaica: Neue digitale Folge brings together five articles first presented as papers at an online workshop at the University of Bern in June 2021. The workshop “Jewish authors and power in the Graeco-Roman period was dedicated to the complex relationships, both experienced and imagined, between ancient Jewish authors and power systems and structures throughout the Hellenistic and Roman periods. It did so by exploring these and related themes while relying on diverse sources and questions, such as the analysis of texts from the Hebrew Bible and questions regarding calendar reforms during the rule of Seleucid kings. Implementing the ideas of post-colonial studies on power and power relations, the papers focused on the different fields where power structures and relations played a role in antiquity and put forward and understanding of power not only as physical dominance in various forms, but also as soft powers that emerges from sociocultural structures.

International Market Selection Decisions – A big data artificial intelligence approach
Authors: Calof Jonathan , Viviers Wilma
Published: December 2024

This article examines the role of big data analytics (BDA) in international market selection (IMS) decisions. It is based on a study of South African companies that used the TRADE-DSM (Decision Support Model) big data analytics tool to help in making these decisions. While there is much theory on the potential use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence for international business in general and international market selection decisions in particular, there is very little research on how these tools are used when making this important decision. This article reports on a study that examined: whether big data analytics was used in making international market selection decisions, how important it was relative to other sources of information; how it was used in the international market selection decision-making process; and what factors led to acceptance of big data analytics output. Results from the surveys and interviews both with those who generated the TRADE-DSM reports and the users of the reports (the decision-makers) are presented to provide deeper insights into the role of big data analytics in international market selection decisions. The results showed that while big data analytics is very important (rated third-highest information source), it is one of many sources of information used in the process and that human sources (visits to the market, attendance at trade shows and conferences) are considered the most valuable. Regarding what prompts the acceptance of big data analytics in the international market selection process, the study found that knowledge of the system, trust in the person providing the report and the relationship between the person providing the report and the decision-maker are the most important factors.
Comparison of Primal Reflex Release Technique and Positional Release Therapy on Pain, Functional Ability and Ankle Range in patients with Plantar Fasciitis: An Experimental Study
Authors: Ravat Mariya , Mody Vinit , Joshi Madhuri , Soni Megha
Published: December 2024

Background: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is characterized by inflammation, fibrosis and structural deterioration of foot and there is pain over heel and plantar fascia. Plantar fasciitis pain is gradual in onset, sharp and diffusely located initially which later localizes to medial calcaneal tuberosity. Typically, pain is most severe in the morning which lessens with movement but intensifies with long-standing weight bearing. Plantar fasciitis has been experienced by 10% of the non-athletic population and most typically observed in weight-bearing activities. So, the aim was to study the effects of primal reflex release technique and positional release therapy on pain, functional ability and ankle range in patients with plantar fasciitis.
Method: Total 36 patients were recruited for the study as per the selection criteria and were divided into two groups (18 in each group). Group A was treated with primal reflex release technique (PRRT) along with conventional therapy and Group B was treated with positional release therapy (PRT) along with conventional therapy for 7 consecutive days. Intergroup analysis by independent t-test showed statistically significant improvement in pain and functional ability (P value ≤ 0.001).
Conclusion: Primal reflex release technique along with conventional therapy was found to be more predominant in improving pain and functional ability than positional release therapy along with conventional therapy. Also, Primal reflex release technique along with conventional therapy and positional release therapy along with conventional therapy were equally effective in improving ankle range of motion.

El propofol es un anestésico intravenoso lipofílico utilizado para inducir y mantener la anestesia. Su mecanismo de acción se basa en potenciar la actividad del ácido γ-aminobutírico (GABA) en el sistema nervioso central, lo que genera un efecto hipnótico. Este fármaco se presenta en una emulsión lipídica, tiene una rápida penetración en el cerebro y un rápido metabolismo en el hígado, con eliminación por los riñones. Las interacciones farmacológicas del propofol pueden alterar su efectividad y seguridad, y pueden ser beneficiosas o peligrosas. Las interacciones más comunes ocurren cuando se administran múltiples medicamentos, lo que es más frecuente en pacientes mayores o con función hepática y renal comprometida. Las reacciones adversas se dividen en varios tipos, como las relacionadas con el mecanismo de acción del fármaco (tipo A) o aquellas que surgen por la suspensión brusca (tipo E). Estas interacciones se clasifican según su gravedad en mayores, moderadas y menores, y pueden involucrar mecanismos farmacéuticos, farmacocinéticos o farmacodinámicos. Este artículo revisa las posibles interacciones del propofol, destacando la importancia de comprender cómo sus combinaciones con otros medicamentos pueden afectar su seguridad y eficacia.

Authors: Rafiquddin Siti Shafiqah , Abdul Razak Ahmad Zabidi , Ganesan Madhyazhagan
Published: December 2024

In today's technology-driven world, education is changing rapidly. This is especially important in special education, where we help students with unique needs. One crucial area is teaching students to early literacy. Teaching students with special needs to this skill can be complex, and teachers need specialized training. However, there are many problems when using traditional ways of training, which may not be flexible or adaptable enough for the digital age. Digital training can better prepare special education teachers, making early literacy support more effective and inclusive. In this paper, the PRISMA approach was applied to find the primary data based on a few keywords, such as "digital professional development (PD), special education teacher, and early literacy intervention."

This paper presents the outcomes of a simulation study aimed at investigating the thermal performance of modified phase change material (PCM) structures within a sphere with integrated fins. The escalating global warming crisis and its associated weather anomalies necessitate urgent measures to mitigate its impacts. Numerous research endeavours have been undertaken to address this issue, including the utilization of thermal energy storage systems (TES) augmented with PCM. PCM can be incorporated into building walls to counteract rising temperatures. However, inadequate heat transfer caused by poor thermal conductivity has been a persistent challenge in these systems. The addition of high conductivity fins has found to improve the overall performance of TES. Yet, this study proposes the addition of low conductivity fins to study for the effect of shape factor to its performance. The research evaluates the phase change of 2-fins and 4-fins with varying thicknesses within the PCM structure. A comprehensive simulation framework is employed to analyse the thermal behaviour of the PCM-enhanced sphere without considering ambient temperature nor PCM properties, but fin dimensions and configurations. The simulation results reveal that the inclusion of fins significantly improves heat transfer within the system by cutting a minimum of 20% in phase change time and could promote the phase change process to happen earlier by a maximum of 38% in starting time. By optimizing the fin configuration and thickness, the overall thermal conductivity of the PCM-based TES can be enhanced. These findings contribute to the development of efficient thermal energy storage systems, offering potential solutions to combat global warming and promote sustainable thermal management.

Urbanisation has increasingly resulted in social fragmentation, insecurity, and health challenges in cities worldwide. Urban green infrastructure (UGI) presents a viable solution, by promoting social interaction and enhancing safety and well-being. While an increasing body of scholarly literature has examined the interaction between UGI and its social impacts in the built environment, empirical studies specifically addressing the connection between UGI quality and social cohesion in densely populated urban areas of developing countries remain limited. This article investigates the relationship between UGI and social cohesion in Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria. It aims to explore how the presence, accessibility, and quality of green spaces affect social interactions, community trust, and residents’ sense of belonging. Using a multi-stage sampling approach, the study surveyed 1,560 residents through questionnaires administered in their neighbourhoods. Findings from descriptive statistical analyses and categorical regression reveal that, despite residents perceiving the current green infrastructure as substandard, there is a strong belief that it positively influences social cohesion. The study identifies three critical dimensions of UGI, which include the deterioration of green spaces, accessibility for recreation, and proximity to residences, as factors that significantly impact on social cohesion. These insights can inform urban planning policies aimed at creating inclusive and sustainable green spaces, ultimately improving social cohesion and enhancing the overall well-being of urban communities in Lagos and similar contexts throughout the Global South. By prioritising these dimensions in urban planning, cities can support stronger community ties and improve residents’ quality of life.
Bántalmazás jelenségének vizsgálata az enyhén értelmi fogyatékos és az ép intellektussal rendelkező, tipikus fejlődésű középiskolás tanulók esetében

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the possible presence of bullying among secondary school students with mild intellectual disabilities. Data from the focus group were compared with data from the secondary school age group with an intellectually healthy population (control group). The aim of our study was to find out the frequency and regularity of bullying in the sample. The research also sought to find out whether the subjects in the focus and control groups recognise the fact of abuse, its different forms, and which persons are the most frequent perpetrators of abuse. We also looked at how often they suffer abuse and whether there are people in their environment to whom they turn for help in this context.
Methodology: In our empirical study we conducted a paper-based questionnaire survey.
Findings: Thirty-six per cent of typically developing pupils with an intellectually healthy child and 36 per cent of pupils with mild intellectual disabilities also identified possible causes of victimisation. 86 percent of the focus group and 92 percent of the control group had experienced some form of abuse. 66 per cent of typically developing pupils with a sound intellect and 50 per cent of pupils with a mild intellectual disability had a good recognition of verbal abuse.
Value: The research highlights the high incidence of bullying in educational institutions today, which not only affects typically developing minors, but also the group of people with intellectual disabilities to a significant extent. The research points the way for future research on this issue in relation to other disability groups.
Intentions of transport sector employees to leave the job: is workplace mobbing truly a catalyst?
Authors: Vveinhardt Jolita , Domarkaitė Simona , Deikus Mykolas
Published: December 2024

Although previous studies have focused on workplace mobbing in transport companies, there is still a lack of research showing which variables have the greatest impact on employees’ intentions to leave their jobs. To address this gap, this paper aims to explore the workplace mobbing variables that strongly impact employees’ intentions to leave their workplaces in Lithuanian transport companies. Using the questionnaire “Mobbing and single cases of harassment in employees” relations – MSCH’, 440 employees of transport companies were surveyed. The performed analysis provided regression models aimed at reducing employees’ intentions to leave the workplace, eliminating regressors with the greatest negative influence, and at the same time, increasing the regressor with the most positive impact, i.e., prevention. The study revealed that abuse in assigning work tasks, poor self-feeling of employees, and experienced damage and prevention measures explained almost 45% of the dispersion in the intentions of transport sector employees to leave the job. In this context, the intervention measures used by the companies were not significant. The study shows that employees’ intentions to leave the job are most influenced by employees’ self-feeling, while prevention of workplace mobbing should be seen in a broader context, focusing on the ethics of managers’ relationships with employees. It also highlights the importance of creating a safe and trustworthy organisational environment and suggests that prevention strategies should address broader contexts, including abuse in task assignments, employees’ self-feeling, and the power dynamics of perpetrators.

We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations on the high-redshift galaxy GHZ2 and report a successful detection of the rest-frame 88 μm atomic transition from doubly ionized oxygen at z = 12.3327 ± 0.0035. Based on these observations, combined with additional constraints on the [O iii] 52 μm line luminosity and previous JWST data, we argue that GHZ2 is likely powered by compact and young star formation and show that it follows well-established relationships found for giant H ii regions and metal-poor star-forming dwarf galaxies that are known to host bright super star clusters. Additionally, these observations provide new constraints on the oxygen electron density (100 ≲ n

e
[cm−3] ≲ 4,000) and dynamical mass (M
dyn ≈ 3–8 × 108
M
⊙). The existence of these massive starburst systems 13.3 Gyr ago might explain the origin of today’s globular clusters, a long-standing question in astronomy. To test this, we present observational probes to investigate whether sources like GHZ2 are linked to the formation of today’s globular clusters or other more massive compact stellar systems.
