Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis tingkat kesejahteraan sosial ekonomi masyarakat, dampak keadaan sosial masyarakat sebelum dan sesudah adanya Perusahaan dan menganalisis pengaruh keberadaan PTPN-IV terhadap pengembangan wilayah di Desa Kedai Damar, Kecamatan Pabatu Kabupaten Serdang Bedagai. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kuantitatif. Sedangkan teknik yang digunakan dalam pengumpulan data adalah: (1) observasi, (2) wawancara, (3) quesioner/angket dan (4) dokumentasi. Selanjutnya teknik analisis data yang dilakukan adalah analisis kuantitatif. Hasil analisis dampak sosial keberadaan perusahaan kelapa sawit di Desa Kedai Damar sangat membawa dampak positif bagi perubahan sosial dan peningkatan ekonomi masyarakat. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan setelah adanya perusahaan banyak sarana pendidikan yang dulunya tidak ada sekarang menjadi ada. Dampak kesehatan limbah tidak mencemari lingkungan dan sudah dikelola dengan baik oleh pihak perusahaan sehingga tidak ada masalah kesehatan yang ditimbulkan oleh keberadaan perusahaan. Keamanan, sebelum adanya perusahaan tidak pernah terjadi perkelahian massal, hal ini dibuktikan dengan keseluruhan responden menyatakan tidak pernah terjadi perkelahian missal, setelah adanya perusahaan sebanyak 17,5% responden menyatakan pernah terjadi perkelahian massal. Terjadi peningkatan intensitas interaksi antara sebelum dan sesudah adanya perusahaan, peningkatan yang terjadi sangat besar sehingga dapat disimpulkan tingkat interaksi masyarakat di Desa Kedai Damar sangat baik. Tingkat gotong royong di Desa Kedai Damar mengalami penurunan yang sangat besar, ketika sebelum adanya perusahaan masyarakat sekitar selalu mengadakan gotong royong. Namun setelah adanya perusahaan masyarakat menjadi jarang melakukan gotong royong jadi dalam hal ini perusahaan membawa dampak negatif terhadap tingkat gotong royong di Desa Kedai Damar. Pembangunan pertanian yang  berbasis perkebunan bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan hidup masyarakat sehingga terjadi suatu perubahan dalam pola hidup masyarakat disekitarnya serta menghilangkan kemiskinan dan keterbelakangan khususnya di daerah pedesaan, disamping itu juga memperhatikan pemerataan perekonomian antar golongan dan antar wilayah, kebijaksanaan pemerintah menentukan variasi sumber-sumber pendapatn yang muncul dan kemampuan masyarakat dalam memperoleh manfaat dari adanya perkebunan

Published: March 2023

Penelitian ini membahas tentang pemberdayaan kelompok tani di Dusun Kaloang Desa Lerang. Hal tersebut untuk mengetahui upaya yang dilakukan pemerintah dalam mengoptimalkan kelompok tani dalam mengelola lahan, serta mengetahui kendala-kendala yang dihadapi para petani. Metode pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi dan wawancara. Wawancara dilakukan dengan Kepala Dusun Kaloang, petani dan pemilik lahan pertanian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberdayaan kelompok tani sudah berjalan, akan tetapi belum efektif karena masih terdapat upaya yang belum terealisasikan. Selain itu, kondisi sebagian petani di Dusun Kaloang tidak semuanya tergolong sejahtera (mampu) dalam masalah ekonomi. Hal ini dapat dilihat masih ada di antara para petani yang kurang mampu untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Tulisan menyimpulkan bahwa peningkatan hasil produksi dalam meningkatkan perekonomian kelompok tani, pemerintah setempat serta kelompok tani mempunyai peran yang sangat penting. Maka dari itu, pemberdayaan terhadap kelompok tani sangat diperlukan untuk meningkatkan hasil produksi pertanian
THE IDEA OF JUST RETRIBUTION IN THE WORK OF V. ASTAFIEV
Authors:   Ingush State University, Martazanov A. M.
Published: March 2023

The article deals with the issue of the role of the motive of just retribution in V. Astafiev’s works. The analysis of the writer’s main literary texts leads to the conclusion that the factor of dynamic balance between affective hatred of social evil and the thirst for mercy plays a key role in them. In the creative biography of Astafiev, there is an approximately ten-year “pessimistic” period (from the mid-1980s to the mid-1980s), when affective anger prevailed over kindness. However, in the future, the writer’s thirst for righteous retribution is again balanced by a exhortation to mercy.
“HOW TO SHOW WINTER” BY YURI LEVITANSKY: ON THE PROBLEM OF VISUAL AND AUDITORY CODE OF A POETIC TEXT
Authors:   Pushkin State Russian Language Institute, Afanasyeva E. M.
Published: March 2023

In Y. Levitansky’s poem “How to Show Winter” a conflict between the visual and auditory code of the text is shown. To analyze the nature of this conflict, the article draws attention to the representation of visualization as the ability to “see time, read time in the spatial whole of the world” (M. M. Bakhtin). The visual code in the poem “How to Show Winter” correlates with the Christmas archetype, which makes it possible to see the history of counting time from the Nativity of Christ “behind the festive “mess”.

In Colombia, the publishing industry, known as graphic arts, includes periodical and commercial publications, books and packaging, among others. This study carried out a sample of exposure to bencene, 2-propanol and n-propanol in workers in the sector. Sample analysis used method 1501 of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH, 1984). The results show the presence of organic vapours of bencene and alcohols. Other substances such as xylene and toluene are likely to be present in these environments. Likewise, it concludes that the analysis of other alcohols such as ethanol, isobutanol and butanol should be considered.

Habituation to visual onsets is affected by local and global distractors rate
Authors: De Tommaso Matteo , Turatto Massimo
Published: March 2023

Recent findings demonstrate that habituation of capture is stronger where onset distractors are frequent and weaker where they are rare, thus showing that habituation to onsets has a spatial selective nature. However, a debated question is whether habituation at a specific location is exclusively determined by the distractors’ local rate, or whether instead local habituation is also affected by the global rate of the distractors, which may occur also at other locations. Here, we report the results from a between-participants experiment involving three groups of participants exposed to visual onsets during a visual search task. In two groups, onsets appeared at a single location with a high 60% rate or a low 15% rate, respectively, whereas in a third group, distractors could appear in four distinct locations with the same 15% local rate, leading to a 60% global rate. Our results confirmed that locally, habituation of capture was stronger the higher the distractors rate. However, the key finding was that we found a clear and robust modulation of the global distractors rate on the local habituation level. Taken together, our results unambiguously show that habituation has both a spatially selective and a spatially nonselective nature.

Published: March 2023

El propósito del presente artículo está dirigido a generar espacios de reflexión en el ámbito socioeducativo que permitan la constitución de una pedagogía innovadora a partir de un giro fenomenológico en su apuesta comprensiva en reivindicación del ser desde el aprendizaje autónomo. Tal abordaje discursivo dará respuestas a la inquietud en torno a una pedagogía donde prevalezca no solo el cambio educativo, sino también la transformación de la existencia, y así poder brindar aportes a otras producciones de índole académica e investigativa, producto de superar teorías y enfoques para comprender y transformar el hecho educativo asociado a la esfera de valores de la realidad actual ecuatoriana a escala mundial, los cuales son inherentes tanto a los estudiantes, como a los docentes, donde las ciencias agógicas tienen gran incidencia en un intento de construir una metódica en materia de aprendizaje, la cual ha sido una de las principales preocupaciones de la humanidad desde Sócrates a nuestra era.  En tanto, es pertinente hacer un recorrido fenomenológico a partir de la emergencia de las disciplinas en ámbitos no filosóficos de Alfred Schütz, autor que incorpora las herramientas analíticas de Husserl para el estudio de problemas sociológicos. En atención a la antes expuesto, se desprende que el aprendizaje autónomo es concebido como un proceso centrado en la formación del ser social tras desarrollar en él un pensamiento crítico; de allí que la pedagogía sea deudora de la fenomenología a los efectos de construir y reconstruir saberes.

La educación es y debe ser asumida como un sistema en constante cambio, cuyo proceso socioconstructivo, posibilita el desarrollo de competencias integrales en la personalidad del ser, sus competencias cognitivas, psicológicas, emocionales, implicando, las habilidades blandas como la sociabilidad y conciencia emocional, dotando al sujeto, como un agente que se reconfigura, modificando o incidiendo en su contexto a viceversa; en cómo la realidad proxémica, condiciona o consolida mecanismos de aprehensión cognitiva, gestando un aprendizaje situado en las características de la neurodivergencia. Con ello, se alude a una reorientación de la práctica docente, dirigida a un nuevo horizonte de formación, donde la vigencia sea asumida desde la sinapsis y estímulos escolares. Por ello, se plantea interpretar las nociones epistémicas de la neuroeducación en los ambientes escolares, asumidos como ese despertar, superador de la somnolencia relacional emoción-aprendizaje. Determinándose una sentida implicación en el conocimiento, al entender al escolar como sujeto emocional, así, su disposición por aprender, se condiciona por su estado de ánimo.

Published: March 2023

Purpose: This study explored the potential feasibility of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in monitoring treatment response through the measurement of chromosomal instabilities using I-scores in the context of radiation therapy (RT) for other solid tumors.Materials and Methods: This study enrolled 23 patients treated with RT for lung, esophageal, and head and neck cancer. Serial cfDNA monitoring was performed before RT, 1 week after RT, and 1 month after RT. Low-depth whole-genome sequencing was done using Nano kit and NextSeq 500 (Illumina Inc.). To measure the extent of genome-wide copy number instability, I-score was calculated.Results: Pretreatment I-score was elevated to more than 5.09 in 17 patients (73.9%). There was a significant positive correlation between the gross tumor volume and the baseline I-score (Spearman rho = 0.419, p = 0.047). The median I-scores at baseline, post-RT 1 week (P1W), and post-RT 1 month (P1M) were 5.27, 5.13, and 4.79, respectively. The I-score at P1M was significantly lower than that at baseline (p = 0.002), while the difference between baseline and P1W was not significant (p = 0.244).Conclusion: We have shown the feasibility of cfDNA I-score to detect minimal residual disease after RT in patients with lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and head and neck cancer. Additional studies are ongoing to optimize the measurement and analysis of I-scores to predict the radiation response in cancer patients.
Edible mushrooms: Functional foods or functional ingredients? A focus on Pleurotus spp.
Authors: Ritota Mena , Manzi Pamela
Published: March 2023

The increasing consumer demands for healthier and more sustainable foods has pushed the food industry in the constant research of new foods, new functional ingredients and bioactive compounds, whose production can be considered as far as sustainable. In this sense, application of the edible mushrooms has attracted the attention of industries because of their good nutritional quality, simple and economically affordable growth, taste, flavor, and textural properties, as well as the presence of bioactive compounds with positive effects on human health. Among edible mushrooms, Pleurotus spp. are considered among the most popular all over the world. Their cultivation is very simple and sustainable, because Pleurotus spp. efficiently grow on several substrates and can degrade various lignocellulosic waste materials. This means that Pleurotus mushrooms can be cultivable all over the world. From the inclusion in food products as extracts to the incorporation as fresh or into powder form, several works have been published in the literature concerning the use of mushrooms as functional ingredients. However, mushroom addiction can modify functional and physicochemical properties of the supplemented foods, hence the main challenge to overcome is to not negatively affect the sensory properties. Although many scientific works have been published on the matter, further research is needed to better understand the role of mushrooms as functional ingredients, due to the different results reported. This review aims for providing the more recent information about Pleurotus incorporation into foods, with a critical vision looking forward to the future, without forgetting an overview of the more recent literature about Pleurotus spp. nutritional value and their healthy promoting compounds.
On the solution arising in two-cylinders electrostatics
Authors: Chen Jeng-Tzong , Kao Shing-Kai , Chou Yen-Ting , Tai Wei-Chen
Published: March 2023

The electrostatics of two cylinders charged to the symmetrical or anti-symmetrical potential is investigated by using the null-field boundary integral equation (BIE) in conjunction with the degenerate kernel of the bipolar coordinates. The undetermined coefficient is obtained according to the Fredholm alternative theorem. The uniqueness of solution, infinite solution, and no solution are examined therein. A single cylinder (circle or ellipse) is also provided for comparison. The link to the general solution space is also done. The condition at infinity is also correspondingly examined. The flux equilibrium along circular boundaries and the infinite boundary is also checked as well as the contribution of the boundary integral (single and double layer potential) at infinity in the BIE is addressed. Ordinary and degenerate scales in the BIE are both discussed. Furthermore, the solution space represented by the BIE is explained after comparing it with the general solution. The present finding is compared to those of Darevski [2] and Lekner [4] for identity.
Event-triggered control of flexible manipulator constraint system modeled by PDE
Authors: Wang Tongyu , Chen Yadong
Published: March 2023

The vibration suppression control of a flexible manipulator system modeled by partial differential equation (PDE) with state constraints is studied in this paper. On the basis of the backstepping recursive design framework, the problem of the constraint of joint angle and boundary vibration deflection is solved by using the Barrier Lyapunov function (BLF). Moreover, based on the relative threshold strategy, an event-triggered mechanism is proposed to save the communication workload between controller and actuator, which not only deals with the state constraints of the partial differential flexible manipulator system, but also effectively improves the system work efficiency. Good damping effect on vibration and the elevated system performance can be seen under the proposed control strategy. At the same time, the state can meet the constraints given in advance, and all system signals are bounded. The proposed scheme is effective, which is proven by simulation results.

Fluids and vasopressors in septic shock: basic knowledge for a first approach in the emergency department
Authors: Coen Daniele
Published: March 2023

Much research, both pathophysiological and clinical, has been produced about septic shock during the last 20 years. Nevertheless, many aspects of treatment are still controversial, among these the approach to the administration of fluids and vasopressors. After the first clinical trial on Early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) was published, a liberal approach to the use of fluids and conservative use of vasopressors prevailed, but in recent years a more restrictive use of fluids and an earlier introduction of vasopressors seem to be preferred. Although both treatments are based on sound pathophysiological knowledge,  clinical evidence is still inadequate and somehow controversial.  In this non-systematic review, recent research on the hemodynamics of septic shock and its treatment with fluids and inotropes is discussed. As a conclusion, general indications are proposed for a practical approach to patients in septic shock.
Hypocapnia as a predictor of the need for non-invasive mechanical ventilation in subjects with SARS-CoV-2 related pneumonia
Authors: De Vuono Stefano , Berisha Sokol , Settimi Laura , Cianci Pasquale , Lignani Alessandra , Lanci Gianmarco , Taliani Maria Rita , Groff Paolo
Published: March 2023

Background: SARS-CoV-2 related pneumonia is characterized by moderate-to severe hypoxemia often associated with hypocapnia the prognostic role of which is poorely documented. Aims: evaluate if hypocapnia can predict the need for non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) in this setting. Materials and methods: we prospectively studied 52 subjects with moderate-severe SARS-CoV-2 related pneumonia. All the following data were collected at admission to the Emergency Department and processed by univariate and multivariate analysis: clinical and laboratory data, blood gas analysis in room air and lung ultrasound. Results: 33/52 subjects (63,4%) underwent NIMV. At univariate analysis PaCO2 was inversely associated to the need for NIMV (OR 0,82, CI 95% 0,689-0,976, p .025). At multivariate analysis PaCO2 predicted the need for NIMV independently from age, gender, number of comorbidities, d-dimer, CRP, PaO2 and LUS SCORE (OR 0,838, CI 95% 0,710-0,988, p .035). Conclusions: our data suggest that hypocapnia could be an early predictor of clinical worsening in these patients independently from other known predictors of unfavourable outcome, reflecting the occurrence of a deep and frequent respiratory pattern possibly related to the generation of excessive transpulmonary pressure swings leading to a self-induced lung injury (P-SILI). Further studies are needed for validating these data on greater populations.
Effectiveness of pop-it therapeutic play on children’s anxiety during inhalation therapy in children’s wards
Authors: Bawaeda Olivia , Wanda Dessie , Aprillia Zesi
Published: March 2023

Hospitalized children receive anxiety-triggering medical procedures, such as inhalation therapy. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be provided to reduce children’s anxiety is pop-it therapeutic play. This study aimed to measure the effectiveness of pop-it therapeutic play on children’s levels of anxiety during inhalation therapy in children’s wards. This study used a randomized control trial involving 66 children aged 1–12 years who received inhalation therapy and were treated in the children’s ward from three hospitals in North Sulawesi. The respondents were divided into intervention and control groups, with 33 respondents for each group. The samples were selected using simple random sampling. Anxiety level was assessed using the Visual Facial Anxiety Scale. The findings showed that playing pop-it effectively reduced children’s anxiety levels during inhalation therapy, with a p value of 0.000 (α < 0.05). Therefore, playing pop-it is the right solution for children who receive inhalation therapy and is recommended as an alternative toy in hospitals. This finding can be applied in children who receive inhalation therapy because it is easy to do, efficient and effective controlling the children’s anxiety.
IoT‐based systemic lupus erythematosus prediction model using hybrid genetic algorithm integrated with ANN
Authors: Prabhu K Edison , D Surendran
Published: March 2023

Internet of things (IoT) is commonly employed to detect different kinds of diseases in the health sector. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune illness that occurs when the body's immune system attacks its own connective tissues and organs. Because of the complicated interconnections between illness trigger exposure levels across time, humans have trouble predicting SLE symptom severity levels. An effective automated machine learning model that intakes IoT data was created to forecast SLE symptoms to solve this issue. IoT has several advantages in the healthcare industry, including interoperability, information exchange, machine‐to‐machine networking, and data transmission. An SLE symptom‐predicting machine learning model was designed by integrating the hybrid marine predator algorithm and atom search optimization with an artificial neural network. The network is trained by the Gene Expression Omnibus dataset as input, and the patients' data are used as input to predict symptoms. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model's accuracy is higher than state‐of‐the‐art prediction models at approximately 99.70%.

Published: March 2023

Obesity-induced inflammation is crucial in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In this study, we investigated the effects of the Gracilaria chorda (GC) on lipid accumulation and obesity-induced inflammatory changes or glucose homeostasis in cell models (3T3-L1 adipocytes and RAW 264.7 macrophages). Samples of GC were extracted using solvents (water, methanol, and ethanol) and subcritical water (SW) at different temperatures (90, 150, and 210°C). The total phenolic content of GCSW extract at 210°C (GCSW210) showed the highest content compared to others, and GCSW210 highly inhibited lipid accumulation and significantly reduced gene expressions of peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor-γ, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-α, sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c, and fatty acid synthase in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In addition, GCSW210 effectively downregulated the pro-inflammatory cytokine regulator pathways in RAW 264.7 macrophages, including mitogen-activated protein kinase, signal transducers and activators of transcription and nuclear factor-κB. In co-culture of 3T3-L1 adipocytes and RAW 264.7 macrophages, GCSW210 significantly reduced nitric oxide production and interleukin-6 levels, and improved glucose uptake with dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that GCSW210 improves glucose metabolism by attenuating obesity-induced inflammation in adipocytes, which may be used as a possible treatment option for managing obesity and associated metabolic disorders.
The description of Haematococcus privus sp. nov. (Chlorophyceae, Chlamydomonadales) from North America
Authors: Buchheim Mark A. , Silver Ashley , Johnson Haley , Portman Richard , Toomey Matthew B.
Published: March 2023

An enormous body of research is focused on finding ways to commercialize carotenoids produced by the unicellular green alga, Haematococcus, often without the benefit of a sound phylogenetic assessment. Evidence of cryptic diversity in the genus means that comparing results of pigment studies may be confounded by the absence of a phylogenetic framework. Moreover, previous work has identified unnamed strains that are likely candidates for species status. We reconstructed the phylogeny of an expanded sampling of Haematococcus isolates utilizing data from nuclear ribosomal markers (18S rRNA gene, 26S rRNA gene, internal transcribed spacer [ITS]-1, 5.8S rRNA gene, and ITS-2) and the rbcL gene. In addition, we gathered morphological, ultrastructural and pigment data from key isolates of Haematococcus. Our expanded data and taxon sampling support the concept of a new species, H. privus, found exclusively in North America. Despite overlap in numerous morphological traits, results indicate that ratios of protoplast length to width and akinete diameter may be useful for discriminating Haematococcus lineages. High growth rate and robust astaxanthin yield indicate that H. rubicundus (SAG 34-1c) is worthy of additional scrutiny as a pigment source. With the description of H. privus, the evidence supports the existence of at least five, species-level lineages in the genus. Our phylogenetic assessment provides the tools to frame future pigment investigations of Haematococcus in an updated evolutionary context. In addition, our investigation highlighted open questions regarding polyploidy and sexuality in Haematococcus which demonstrate that much remains to be discovered about this green flagellate.
Reacting flow field simulation of Hg0 oxidation in flue gas by ozone injection
Authors: Wen Zhengcheng , Shi Zheyu , Wang Zhihua , Huang Qunxin
Published: March 2023

Ozone injection is an effective way to oxidate Hg0 in flue gas. The reacting flow field for the oxidation of Hg0 by O3 is numerically studied in detail with a reduced chemical mechanism in this paper. Based on sensitivity analysis with detailed chemical mechanism, a 12-steps reduced chemical mechanism is obtained and used in the following three-dimensional simulations of the reacting flow field. Through the reacting flow field simulation, the influence of various factors on Hg0 oxidation efficiency is calculated and analyzed, such as O3/NO molar ratios, jet velocities, moisture, temperatures, NO concentrations and Hg0 concentrations. Results show that temperature and O3/NO molar ratio are the key factors, jet velocity and NO concentration are the important factors, while water content has little effect. It is also found that the oxidation efficiency of Hg0 is shown to be highly correlated with the amount of NO3 generated in the flue gas. Increasing the local generation of NO3 may be the key to achieve efficient oxidation of Hg0. This study is good help of subsequent engineering applications.

Published: March 2023

This study aims to determine the effects of strength and serving practices on serving skills performed by volleyball players who practice volleyball regularly. 30 female athletes with an average age of 16.30±0.8 years control group (CG) and 16.44±0.1 years experimental group (EG), who have been participating in volleyball practices on a regular basis for at least five years (90 min/day, three days/week), volunteered for this study. All players were randomly divided into two groups: the EG (n=15) and the CG (n=15). The participants continued attending their regular practices three times a week for 14 weeks, involving technical-tactical training and speed and agility practices required to succeed in volleyball. In addition to these practices, the EG also performed extra serving practices for another hour once a week and participated in strength workout training programs aiming to improve their upper and lower extremities on another day. At the beginning of this study, these players' anthropometric characteristics and ability to get the serve over the net and to serve to a target were noted before and after this 14-week program. When the physical characteristics of these groups were compared, no statistically significant differences were found (p>0.05). However, when the players' ability to get the serve over the net and to serve to a target were compared, statistically significant differences were found between these two groups (p>0.05). Finally, it was concluded that strength and serving practices, in addition to technical practices, which play a crucial role in improving performance and skills in volleyball, improved the serving skills of young female volleyball players; thus, giving extra programs to improve serving skills was found essential.

Authors: Alam Md. Shahin , Hossain Sara Monami , Rashid Mamunor
Published: March 2023

Students now have more access to online courses thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study included high school students and aimed to comprehend the drivers behind smartphone use as well as the consequences of smartphone consumption. The school-based work in the sub-district area is not seen in that way, despite the fact that there are numerous forms of research on the use of mobile phones in the context of the city, college, or university. Bangladesh's upazila (subdistricts), in particular, do not have a lot of school-related work. The study uses a quantitative approach. In order to choose Jhikargacha Upazila of Jessore District, which is situated in the Southwest of Bangladesh, purposive sampling is utilized. Additionally, three schools were purposefully selected for data collection. A further offline survey was used to collect data, and SPSS version 24 was used to analyze the findings. In addition, the facts and context of smartphone usage are analyzed using the uses and gratification theory. Most participants claimed to use their smartphones for a range of purposes and to devote varying amounts of time to each. When the corona pandemic forces all educational activities to be conducted online, they are using cellphones. Additionally, certain changes in their daily routine have been brought about by using a smartphone. Some of them think it affects their day-to-day activities by making them feel detached from reality, stay up late, experience worry and melancholy, etc.

Gender equality in education has been an issue of interest in developing strategies for This research focuses on customer satisfaction with Malaysia's online food delivery (OFD) services. In this decade, the number of individuals who frequently purchased meals online climbed dramatically. People nowadays prefer their meals to be delivered instead of dining in a restaurant. Hence, it is crucial to understand the customers' expectations to manage a successful meal delivery business. People used to have to dine at restaurants or order takeout, but today OFD businesses provide convenience and have transformed customer behavior. This study also investigates the intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing Malaysian's meal delivery satisfaction. Questionnaires were distributed to consumers in Petaling Jaya metropolitan area to collect and analyze data for this study. 384 respondents contributed to this study's findings, discussion, and conclusion. This study tested three independent variables that influence customers' satisfaction: hedonic motivation, price-saving orientation, and time-saving orientation. As a result, this study's three independent variables were statistically significant in satisfying customers. In conclusion, this study can be used to increase the usage of OFD services in the future. However, there are many factors to consider, as it was proven that the three independent factors positively contribute to customer satisfaction. Thus, the OFD service developers must create a solid impression that using OFD services is engaging and intriguing. Additionally, marketers must foster the idea that OFD services are integral to the user's lifestyle.

Pattern of increase in Spherical Aberration and Coma After Femtosecond Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis Using an Aspheric Ablation Profile
Authors: Hosny Mohamed
Published: March 2023

Purpose: To determine the contribution of spherical aberration and coma to the total ocular high order aberration before and after femto laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis using an aspheric ablation profile.

Methods: This is a prospective interventional study that was conducted on 34 eyes of 17 patients in the interval between January 2021 and June 2021. Patients did a preoperative aberrometry and corneal tomography. They underwent FS-LASIK surgery using an aspheric ablation profile. The total ocular aberrometry and corneal tomography were repeated one month postoperatively.

Results: The mean preoperative contribution of coma to total ocular HOA was 52.16 % with SD of ± 25.59% which declined to 49.48 % with SD of ± 22.53 % postoperatively. The mean preoperative contribution of SA to total ocular HOA was 38.91 % with SD of ± 15.35 % which increased significantly to 51.25 % with SD of ± 16.55 % postoperatively.

Conclusion: Post-operative contribution of corneal spherical aberrations to total ocular HOA showed a statistically significant increase compared to pre-operative. However, there was no significant change in coma contribution.

Authors: Anwer Muhammad Arshad , Farooq Fatima , Faheem Muhammad , Yousuf Muhammad
Published: March 2023

Decreased environmental degradation has come to the forefront of policy debates and academic investigations. Using data from the Pakistan economy, which accounts for a substantial amount of global carbon emissions, investigate the effects of energy efficiency, human capital, renewable energy, and economic growth on the environment from 1990 to 2020. We reveal the influence of human capital by focusing on education investment to provide an understanding of the necessity of policy-making in Pakistan to prevent environmental deterioration. According to the findings, human capital expansion is substantially associated with lower CO2 emissions. Using the autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) estimate method, we present a complete analysis of the energy efficiency-environmental deterioration nexus. Energy efficiency, renewable energy, and human capital all are adversely associated and considerable influence on the environment. To attain a green environment, the study recommends strategies to boost energy efficiency, renewable energy, and human capital.

Molecular methods coupled with phylogenetic analysis are sensitive tools for detecting and classifying parasites. This study used nuclear and mitochondrial gene markers to investigate the host-vector interaction of the vector-borne haemoparasites. The population genetic structures of important vector-borne haemoparasites in dogs, namely, Anaplasma platys, Ehrlichia canis, Babesia vogeli, and Babesia gibsoni, were determined from the nuclear gene of 16S or 18S rRNA gene, gltA and groESL and mitochondrial gene of COX1 across dogs and vector ticks. A total of 220 blood samples and 140 ticks were collected from shelter dogs in Peninsular Malaysia. Out of the positive samples for the vector-borne haemoparasites, 28 positive blood isolates and six tick isolates were selected and characterised. There was a low diversity in tick sequences, while varying degree of variability was observed in dogs’ sequences. Overlapped haplotypes were observed in sequences of dogs and ticks, revealing the possibility of the same infection origin. No regional separation was detected, but similar haplotypes from different regions were observed. These findings contribute to the epidemiology of vector-borne haemoparasites in dogs in Malaysia.

Divine Right of Dynasty : Deposing
the God-Given Monarch in Protestant
Europe
Authors: Sarti Cathleen
Published: March 2023

In the early modern period, the discourse on divine right of
monarchy reached a peak. At the same time, depositions of monarchs
by their own subjects increased as well, events which were — in theory
— not possible within the political ideology of divine right. This chapter
argues that the theory of divine right and the practice of depositions
did indeed complement each other when taking a closer look both at
the ideas of divinely legimitated monarchy and of the course of events
during a deposition. In particular, the role of the dynasty and of the form
of government within divine right of monarchy is discussed further and
identified as central to early modern political thought.
