Authors: Khoirotun Hisan  , Wijayanti
Published: November 2024

City parks are places that support physical and social activities/discussions for all levels of society. Therefore, city park infrastructure needs to be accessible independently, even without the help of others. This research is located in Tirto Agung Park which is located in a mix-use area (education, housing, trade) so that park users come from various levels of society both in terms of age and competence. The method used in this study is qualitative with literature studies, and field observations were carried out to assess the availability and suitability of Tirto Agung Park infrastructure with the principles of universal design and the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works Number 14 of 2017 concerning Building Ease Requirements. The results of the analysis showed that Tirto Agung Park has shortcomings in providing facilities for users, especially people with disabilities, such as ramps (low physical effort), guiding blocks (simple and intuitive use), hand rails (equitable use), zebra crossings (tolerance for error) and wayfinding/signage (perceptible information). The recommendation in this study is to add, improve and maintain park facilities and infrastructure.
Road Safety of Highway Traffic System of Halsema Highway
Authors: S. Biangdan June
Published: November 2024

Traffic accidents happen all the time. It’s a situation that can happen in any transportation network, including the one in the study area, where safety steps aren’t good enough. The study then looked at how safe the roads are on the Halsema Highway in the Philippines. In particular, it found out what the main reasons are for traffic accidents along Halsema Highway and how well safety standards are being followed. The goal is to come up with ways to lessen the bad effects of land transportation traffic accidents. A questionnaire checklist was the main tool used to collect data, with human interviews and observation also being used. T-tests and both quantitative and qualitative study methods were used to look at the data that was collected. The results show that mistakes made by people are the main reason why cars crash on the Halsema Highway. There is a high level of compliance with road safety standards (2.63) and traffic engineering (2.56), but only a modest level of compliance with traffic signs (2.46). Right now, it’s clear that some Halsema Highway drivers don’t care about safety. On the other hand, there are some issues and concerns that need to be addressed when it comes to road safety standards, especially when it comes to traffic signs that aren’t big enough.
Pedalling Towards Improved Well-being
Authors: Khurana Shreya
Published: November 2024

Rapid urbanisation and population growth in Delhi have led to a significant increase in the demand for transport infrastructure. However, a traditional adherence to car-centric development in Indian cities has contributed to escalating road injuries and degraded urban settings, exposing pedestrians and cyclists to a fatality risk of around 40 times higher than car users. To address these challenges, strategies like Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) are crucial in promoting sustainable mobility. Despite its proven effectiveness globally, the influence of NMT on the Quality of Life (QoL), especially on the youth (aged 15-29 years) in the Indian context remains unexplored. This paper investigates a recent integration of NMT infrastructure on one of Delhi’s most accident-prone roads through space redistribution. The paper gathers infrastructure assessment factors and physical, social, mental and economic well-being indicators from existing literature and user perceptions on-site. Based on user perceptions, these are correlated, followed by a quantitative study of the influence of each factor on its corresponding indicator using positive responses before and after transformation. The study emphasises key factors that must be addressed while revamping public streets to enhance the health and well-being of young individuals. It suggests that layout quality and lighting significantly improve safety and comfort. Yet the design compromises safety due to a lack of city-level and neighbourhood continuity, and intersections with the high-speed road, resulting in a low rating for physical well-being. A composite well-being score is calculated to illustrate the extent of impact on QoL. Insights derived from the case of Delhi offer a practical framework for other Indian cities seeking to enhance their urban landscapes. The paper emphasises the perspectives of youth on quality well-being, shows how different design features act toward achieving a high QoL, and intends to nudge a shift toward pedestrian-friendly cities.
“The Story of Makanuna” Poem
Authors: Abbas Malak Alaa Eldeen , Spencer Henry , Dahab Hadeer Saeed
Published: November 2024

"Welcome to 'Makanuna', our place … home of our inner spirit A trove of things crafted by our hands … is waiting for you to find inside this space."  Malak Alaa Eldeen, 2023
Makanuna Al-Khalifa was a participatory placemaking project empowering adolescents in al-Khalifa  neighbourhood in historic Cairo to redesign their local public spaces. Through 2021-2022 workshops, around 20 youth aged 13-18, including Malak Alaa Aldeen, upcycled solid and organic waste into outdoor furniture, games, and compost for al-Khalifa Park. A key output was Malak’s poem “The Story of Makanuna” with illustrations by her sister Fatma Alaa Eldeen, also a workshop participant. In vivid verses, the 17-year-old welcomes readers to “Makanuna” - Arabic for “Our Space” - home to their creativity and handcrafted items. She describes making a gazebo “formed from three triangles” of repurposed plastic bottles and rope, illuminated to resemble “a rainbow”, delighting all who see it. Inspired, they crafted five more lighting units “with bold colours and innocent hands.”The poem conveys their determined spirit driving this unique space’s creation through hard work “from our plans.” Malak radiates pride in resourceful designs like a recycling bin filled with bottles containing natural materials from the park. Her closing words capture their ownership: “Here is our place and our story. So, what do you think of our idea in all its glory?”Empowering youth to transform underutilized areas fostered creativity, environmental stewardship and belonging. Building on this, Malak, Fatma and other core team members launched “Makanuna Initiative” to pursue placemaking further. Malak now voices this youth-led initiative’s junior team, aiming to inspire wider involvement. Malak’s poem and Fatma’s illustrations powerfully capture their sustainable accomplishments. This highlights the initiative’s origins in the Al-Khalifa workshops through adolescent participants who helped catalyse Makanuna’s growth from a local project into a youth-led movement.
“I go because I don’t have an alternative”: Older Portuguese Immigrant Women’s Experiences Accessing and Using Health Care Services in Toronto
Authors: Gomes Frederica
Published: November 2024

Existing research indicates that health inequalities are complex and impact groups differently. Group-specific settlement experiences affect how health care services are accessed and used. Of these groups, older immigrant women face exacerbated challenges and disadvantages related to the compounding negative influence of gender and aging (Wang, Guruge & Montana, 2019). Expanding on existing literature in the field of immigrant health, this study focuses on the Portuguese community in Toronto and their interactions with the health care system. Specifically, this study explores the ethnicized, gendered, and class-specific settlement experiences of Portuguese immigrant women and how these experiences influence the way health care services are accessed and used in older age. This qualitative study is based on interviews with older Portuguese immigrant women living in Toronto, as well as Portuguese-speaking health and social service providers who serve the Portuguese community in Toronto. Guided by the theoretical approach of intersectionality, this study found that the cumulative, lifelong settlement challenges that participants experienced stretched well into their older years and negatively influenced their access to and use of health care services. In addition, this study also found that study participants unexpectedly identified systemic barriers such as issues related to patriarchy, gender relations, and violence within their private lives in addition to discrimination based on gender, class, and ethnicity while engaging in accessing and using health care services.

Despite the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF)’s efforts to implement confidence-building measures (CBMs) since its establishment in 1994, there are still challenges that remain in achieving the desired level of trust and cooperation among its 27 member countries, particularly in the South China Sea (SCS). While CBM initiatives have contributed to reducing tensions, there is still a gap further complicated by the shifting power dynamics, particularly China’s rise and the United States’ strategic responses, which have heightened tensions in the Indo-Pacific region. Furthermore, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of confidence-building measures (CBMs) in defense cooperation and diplomacy within the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), specifically in the context of the South China Sea (SCS). By analyzing the existing CBMs and identifying the gaps between the current state and the desired outcomes, the research seeks to provide insights into how these measures can be enhanced to manage tensions better, build trust, and promote regional stability amidst the evolving security landscape in the Indo-Pacific region. This research underscores the importance of CBMs in regional diplomacy and their potential to shape a stable and cooperative Indo-Pacific environment. The research used qualitative research methods, collecting data from scientific journals, websites, and previous research, which were analyzed to explore CBMs’ role in enhancing regional security and cooperation. Results indicate that CBMs have played a crucial role in promoting peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific and have been instrumental in reducing mistrust and preventing conflicts. However, challenges persist due to the complexity of regional security threats and the diverse interests of member states. Sustained cooperation and adaptability are essential to address evolving security dynamics. The effectiveness of CBMs in the SCS will depend on a commitment to dialogue among parties.
ANALISIS PENGARUH JUMLAH PENDUDUK, KETERSEDIAAN PANGAN, KONSUMSI PANGAN DAN HARGA PANGAN STRATEGIS TERHADAP INDEKS KETAHANAN PANGAN
Authors: Yuda Prasetya Adityan Wisnu
Published: November 2024

Indonesia adalah salah satu Negara Agraris penghasil beras terbanyak di dunia. Namun, pada tahun 2021 sebagian besar wilayah Indonesia terdampak pandemi COVID-19. Hal ini telah mempengaruhi Indeks Ketahanan Pangan (IKP) dari 34 Provinsi di Indonesia. Perubahan IKP (Y) tersebut dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor diantaranya Jumlah Penduduk (X_1 ), Ketersediaan Pangan (X_2 ), Konsumsi Pangan (X_3 ) dan Harga Pangan Strategis (X_4 ). Penelitian menggunakan studi kasus komoditas beras seluruh provinsi di Indonesia tahun 2021. Menurut data survey Statistik Ketahanan Pangan 2021 oleh Badan Pangan Nasional (2022) menunjukkan beberapa fakta di Indonesia tahun 2021 bahwa jumlah penduduk ±272.677 ribu jiwa; ketersediaan beras ±5.307 ton; konsumsi beras ±3.218 kg/kap/tahun dan rata – rata harga beras strategis ±Rp11.798,56. Fakta tersebut berimplikasi pada kondisi IKP setiap provinsi, dimana IKP terendah di Papua (35,48%) dan IKP tertinggi di Bali (83,82%). Penelitian ini akan membahas pengaruh keempat faktor tersebut terhadap IKP menggunakan uji statistik yang terdiri dari 1) uji regresi, 2) uji validitas dan reliabilitas serta 3) uji parsial dan uji simultan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa data memenuhi persyaratan uji asumsi klasik (normalitas, linearitas, multikolinearitas, heteroskedastisitas dan autokorelasi) sehingga diperoleh persamaan regresi Y=81,9126+9,963X_1+0,002X_2+0,3X_3-0,003X_4. Persamaan tersebut dapat diinterpretasikan bahwa kenaikan IKP berbanding lurus dengan kenaikan X_1,X_2 dan X_3 serta berbanding terbalik dengan X_4. Kedepannya diharapkan Pemerintah Indonesia dapat meningkatkan Indeks Ketahanan Pangan melalui penambahan jumlah penduduk, ketersediaan pangan dan konsumsi pangan serta menurunkan harga pangan strategis terutama di wilayah provinsi dengan tingkat IKP terendah.

Abstract
Water is an essential and vital resource for all living organisms; without it, life on Earth would be unsustainable. Although the Earth has abundant water, the available supply of clean water is insufficient to meet demand, causing many people to suffer from water scarcity. Water shortages can be triggered by rising demand due to population growth, uneven water distribution, increasing water pollution, and inefficient water use. The misuse of water, especially in large cities, is alarming, as water exploitation can reduce water sources and disrupt water sustainability. Groundwater has various benefits, particularly as a primary source of clean water for communities, compared to surface water sources. Additionally, groundwater supports environmental stability by preventing land subsidence, sea water intrusion, and worsening groundwater pollution. To anticipate water shortages, alongside wise and controlled water usage, rainwater harvesting can be employed as an alternative water source. One method of water conservation in every household is rainwater harvesting, which involves collecting, storing, and conserving rainwater. Rainwater harvesting has been practiced for centuries in various countries experiencing water shortages. Harvested rainwater can be used for multiple purposes, such as watering plants, washing, bathing, and even cooking if the water quality meets health standards. The creation of biopores is another alternative in groundwater conservation, as this method returns surface water back into the ground. Given the above points, a team of lecturers and students from the Civil Engineering Study Program is attempting to provide training to the Kramatjati community on how to independently conserve water in each household.

Charcoal burning techniques contain harmful pollutants in the form of particulates, carbon monoxide (CO), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals and other toxic compounds which have short and long term impacts on the environment and human health. One of the chemical substances contained from the burning of satay traders' charcoal is carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide (CO) when inhaled into the lungs will join the blood circulation and will block the entry of oxygen needed by the body. This can happen because CO gas is toxic, it also reacts metabolically with blood (hemoglobin). So that the erythrocyte cells lack oxygen which causes damaged erythrocytes and an increase in reticulocytes and erythrocytes. The purpose of this study was to prove that there is a relationship between prolonged exposure to charcoal burning smoke and the number of reticulocyte cells in satay traders. This study used an analytic observational method with a cross sectional approach. This study used 20 samples of venous blood from Madura satay traders who live in one place in the Wonocolo sub-district, Surabaya. Test analysis using Spearman correlation test. Based on the results of the study, the average reticulocyte level was 1.2% and the average length of exposure (hours/month) was 5,35 (hours/week). Spearman correlation test results (alpha) = 0.006 <0.05 with a correlation coefficient of 0.592 means that there is an increase in the length of exposure variable with the number of reticulocytes and suggestions for further research is to examine blood reticulocytes with other methods.

Aristotle on Rhetoric and Teaching
Authors: Dow Jamie
Published: November 2024

Aristotle follows the Socrates of Plato's Gorgias in contrasting rhetoric with teaching. For him, premises of arguments must in rhetoric be reputable ( endoxa), but in teaching be archai of the relevant science. And teaching requires recognition of the speaker's authority, rhetoric does not. Like Socrates, he thinks teaching but not rhetoric requires knowledge of your subject. Unlike Socrates, Aristotle does not for this reason reject rhetoric as dangerous, but accepts it as useful for public and interpersonal deliberation.
‘I, Robot’ and the Breadcrumbs of Anti-Blackness
Authors: Mayberry Nicole K.
Published: November 2024

Post-racial and colourblind framings suggest that the racial divides of the past have been rendered obsolete, largely due to the advancements spurred by social movements in the 1960s and 1970s. However, scholars across the fields of Rhetoric, Theory, and Black Studies have shown how these framings, rather than ameliorating racial divides, have deepened them by subtly endorsing whiteness and white supremacist ideologies. This paper introduces the concept of ‘Technological Progress Framing’ – the belief that technology and its rapid advancements can resolve racial disparities. It argues that this framing has, in certain contexts, either repackaged or supplanted post-racial perspectives, ultimately serving the interests of whiteness. Using the 2004 film ‘I, Robot’, the paper elucidates how science fiction films, undergirded by this Technological Progress Framing, further anti-Black rhetoric and agendas.

Published: November 2024

Human rights are inalienable rights given to all people from the day of their birth. Protection of human rights is a prerequisite for a just, equal and peaceful world. We can find these rights not only in official state documents, but also in the doctrines of religions. Human rights are the responsibility not only of the state, but also of individuals and non-governmental organizations. Violation of these rights has the potential to strain relations between people. When we look at the instructive stories given to us by religious texts, we witness that the violation of rights, the taking away of people's rights, provokes God's wrath and has the characteristic of being the cause of the consequences leading to the destruction of communities that behave in this way. The importance of heavenly religions to human rights, examples of justice and human rights contained in religious texts were included in the article, and an attempt was made to draw attention to the importance of the value of this step in the eyes of God on the example of the Shuayb people, an unjust society where social justice is violated.
So Called Newton’s Inertia Law

The article is devoted to the justification of the law of inertia. It is often called Newton's first law. It was established that this is not a law, but a postulate. Modern definitions of this law are given. It turned out that well -known definitions of this law are similar to each other. It is shown that this law before Newton was formulated by Descartes, Balillians, Ballo and Galileo. The ontology and philosophical significance of the category "cause" are considered. It is shown that any thing or phenomenon arises for some reason, and nothing happens for no reason and nothing exists. And Democritus understood that there was nothing causeless and could not be. Democritus’s mistake is that he did not recognize a chance. Causality is a philosophical category showing the ontological connection of such two phenomena, when the second phenomenon arises due to the first. Moreover, the first phenomenon is called the cause, and the second is the consequence. In this connection of phenomena, the first phenomenon (cause) necessarily predicts the second phenomenon (investigation). And the mutual relationship between the first and second phenomena is called a causal relationship. is present in all known phenomena of the world, and it is usually understood as the occurrence of the same effects with the same causes. It is shown that in history many ideas and scientific achievements attributed to a certain author have often been discovered before them by other authors. For example, Lobachevsky and Boiai are considered to be the founders of hyperbolic geometry. In fact, this discovery was actually made before them by the now almost forgotten F.A. Taurinus (Taurin). The same can be said about the law of refraction of light. This law was discovered by the Dutch scientist Willebrord Snellius. In fact, 600 years before him, this law had been discovered by the great scientist and philosopher Bahmanyar al-Azerbaijani. And the same mistake is Newton's first law. Therefore, it is best to henceforth always refer to this law as the law of inertia.
Organization of Independent Training of Military Personnel in Russian as a Foreign Language
Authors: Hasanova Sevda
Published: November 2024

The study is devoted to the organization of independent training of military specialists in a military university when teaching the Russian language. The purpose of the article is to prepare means for managing self-training, taking into account the creation of effective mechanisms for intensive training using modern interactive techniques that stimulate the motivational interest of military specialists in verbal communication and organizing their own speech. The article offers practical recommendations for mastering textual activity both under the guidance of a teacher and in self-training, promoting the individualization of learning and self-management of the speech-thinking intellectual-cognitive process. To solve the problem, research methods such as applied and descriptive were used. The presented article actualizes the problem of organizing self-training in teaching Russian as a foreign language to foreign-speaking military personnel. Factors specific to a special purpose educational institution are analyzed, to which a teacher teaching RFL in short-term intensive courses must pay close attention. The idea is substantiated that it is necessary to take into account the specifics of special-purpose educational institutions when training, as well as to compensate for the limited language environment, which will entail the effectiveness of mastering language training programs for military specialists. The key problematic points on the way to preparing for the development of short-term language training programs are identified and characterized. The conditions and ways to eliminate difficulties in the process of learning the Russian language are identified and argued, the implementation of which will allow the teacher to effectively carry out language training. As a result of this study, the author concludes that the correct organization of independent work of foreign language students can increase the effectiveness of their learning of the Russian language, and also contribute to the formation of the personality of a specialist ready for self-development and self-education.
Coins of Seljuk Sultan Tughril III Found in Azerbaijan and New Numismatic Facts
Authors: Mammadova Aygun
Published: November 2024

In the article for the first time coinage of the period of Seljuk sultan Tughrul III (571-590 AH = 1176-1194) is viewed, especially coins with names of atabeks of Azerbaijan and this sultan are considered. The study of Azerbaijani mints, main coin denominations, topography of such finds along with the coverage of socio-economic relations of the medieval period, also contributes to the definition of the peculiarities of coinage. Along with information about coins minted during the reign of atabeks of Azerbaijan - Muhammad Jihan Pahlawan (571-582 AH = 1175-1186) and Qizil Arslan (582-587 AH = 1186-1191), the article reports about important military-strategic cities of Azerbaijan functioning also as production centers. As a result, the article reveals the reasons for the use of copper coins in the coinage of the period under investigation, the role of gold coins in trade relations, the religious title of Sultan Tughril III and other numismatic innovations, and notes existing errors. The year 2024 coincides with the memorable anniversary of the death of Sultan Tughril III, which increases the relevance of the article.

Introduction

The current study focuses on understanding the functional role of different subsets of endoneurial macrophages in autoimmune polyneuropathies (AP) and traumatic peripheral nerve injury (TPNI), which holds potential for clinical application. Recent studies have advanced our understanding of the diverse origins of macrophages within peripheral nerves. However, there remains a gap in our knowledge regarding how endoneurial macrophages from different origins affect disease progression in AP versus TPNI.

Methods

Flow cytometry was utilized to analyze macrophage phenotypes, including polarization states, cytokine production, and myelin phagocytosis in animal models of AP and TPNI. This study focuses on two distinct origins of macrophages, namely CD11b+F4/80hi tissue-resident (TRM) and CD11b+F4/80int blood-derived macrophages (BDM). The study utilized two animal models: the first was the spontaneous autoimmune peripheral polyneuropathy (SAPP) model in B7.2-null non-obese diabetic (NOD-B7.2-/-) mice, which serves as a model for inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy; the second model involved wild type C57BL/6 mice subjected to sciatic nerve crush injury, modeling TPNI. Behavioral, electrophysiological, and histological analyses were performed to assess peripheral nerve injury.

Results

The study found that pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization and tumor necrosis factor-alpha production by macrophages were more pronounced in the peripheral nerves of SAPP mice compared to those with TPNI, with the majority of these macrophages being TRM. In contrast, endoneurial macrophages in mice with TPNI were mainly BDM, exhibiting a less defined macrophage polarization and cytokine profile than TRM in AP mice. Interestingly, myelin phagocytosis was primarily driven by BDM in both SAPP and TPNI mice.

Discussion

This study offers novel insights into origin-dependent macrophage functions in AP and TPNI. Furthermore, these findings may help the future development of novel therapies targeting macrophage subsets of specific origin in AP and TPNI.
