Authors: Percival T. Donato  , Sherryl R. Ignacio  , Querubin A. Manumbali
Published: October 2024

This study focused on the factors affecting the decreasing interest of Filipino people under Generation Z in playing traditional games. The descriptive method was used to determine the different factors affecting the Filipino people in playing Filipino games. The researchers collect data through data mining that can be used to find information about the study. The researchers choose to conduct a web-based analysis, where data were collected through browsing reliable and valid sources in the world web. Collected data results will be analyzed to find out the factors affecting Filipinos in playing Philippine traditional games that have 56.66% who still played Philippine traditional games while 43.33% prefers to browse and play online.
The factors that affect the Filipino citizen to have less interest in playing Philippine traditiona1 games are the cultural onslaught of western countries which has brought about change in the lifestyle and attitudes of people in tribal societies where traditional games are in mostly in vogue and the Western sports (e.g. basketball or volleyball). Also, the changes come as people turn away from traditional TV viewing and streaming TV, a trend that has only grown during the Covid-19 pandemic. Philippine traditional games decrease as television and other mass media are widely accessible, passive activities, such as watching TV, listening to music, and internet surfing, video games, and online chatting are among the most popular leisure activities among adolescents. Also, the reason why Philippine traditional games are declining because the young generation has turned to virtual games and other modern games (e.g. cricket, hockey and football) for sporting, entertainment, and use of leisure. However, it was also due to rapid technological development. People conserve and maintain the Philippine traditional games through spending time with other members of the community and continuous engagement. It is important to preserve the information and knowledge about traditional games for the generations to come and is essential to raise awareness about traditional games and keep them alive in the present day for Filipinos to enjoy. Filipinos must began building advocacy that will help to educate the next generation, the Filipino children. The advantages of technologies that may affect playing Philippine traditional games are the following, it enhances computer skills and keep the child up to date, it helps in teaching children how to play as team using technology, it improves language, it improves Math skills, and boosts decision-making, it develops mental health, it improves cognitive development. On the other hand, the disadvantages of technologies that may affect playing Philippine traditional games are shorter sleep duration, lack of socialization, the ‘Bob’ effect syndrome, high-tech health syndrome, computer eye syndrome and carpal syndrome.

Published: October 2024

The perpetrators and victims of homosexual crimes in my research are adults and of the same gender. An adult who has sexual relations with a child means committing a criminal act, violating morals, and not being socially accepted because it is not considered normal. The author wants to conduct research by concentrating on the following issues: 1. How the law is used for the second crime of sexual violence. Nunukan District Court number 377/Pid.Sus/2021/PN. The author uses normative juridical research myths, a type of legal research that focuses on legal principles, rules, court decisions, and principles contained in laws and regulations. This method allows legal research to find and understand relevant legal substance and make strong legal arguments. The government must continue to review and update laws related to sexual violence to become more effective. This should be done to ensure that all types of sexual violence are clearly regulated and provide comprehensive protection, including adjusting provisions to meet the needs of society. In addition, the government should protect and assist victims of sexual violence by providing comprehensive medical and psychosocial services to help them recover, such as counseling, therapy, and good medical care. By following these suggestions, governments can strengthen the legal system, protect victims of sexual violence, and make the country fairer and safer.

Physico-chemical and Biosafety Evaluations of a Polyurethane Carrier Used for Bevacizumab
Authors: Albulescu Ramona Carmen , Borcan Livia-Cristina , Borcan Florin
Published: October 2024

The monoclonal antibody bevacizumab, which neutralizes vascular endothelial growth factor, significantly affects the migration, survival, and proliferation of cells - all of which are critical for the growth and spread of tumors. The current study s objective was to create polyurethane structures that are more soluble in water so they may be employed as this active agent s transmembrane carrier. A polymer drug delivery system was created using an aliphatic isocyanate and a combination of ether and ester polyols, resulting in a suitable release profile and membrane penetrability. The solubility, pH, and refractivity index measurements, the size distribution and surface charge, the encapsulation efficacy and release profile, the proliferation of cells, and skin irritation tests on mice were used to describe the two samples. Our findings reveal that nearly neutral acido-basic polymer structures were achieved, ranging in size from 187 to 423 nm. Zeta potential values suggest a minor alteration in the propensity to form clusters in the sample with increased solubility, and UV-Vis analyses demonstrate an approximately 63�2% encapsulation efficacy. In terms of the samples biosafety profile, the tests conducted on mouse skin and cell cultures did not result in significant adverse effects at the concentrations that were examined. The results of this preclinical investigation indicate that adding polar groups to polyurethane macromolecular chains improves aqueous solubility without changing the polymer carrier s other properties.

Published: October 2024

The paper presents our studies regarding the superior valorization of recycled low-density polyethylene (rLDPE) by compounding with thermoplastic starch (TPS) and ethylene propylene terpolymer elastomer (EPDM). Low-density polyethylene post-consumer waste from foil packaging was used for the experiments. The waste was mechanically recycled and the rLDPE granules obtained were characterized both from a physical-mechanical and structural point of view. In order to obtain new sustainable materials, rLDPE granules were mixed with TPS, EPDM, compatibilizers and crosslinking agents. The mixtures were obtained in a PlastiCorder Brabender mixer at 140�C, 30-80 rpm, working time 7 minutes. The samples made show very good resistance to bending and abrasion, they have very good values of Charpy impact resistance and tear strenght, they show very good behavior to accelerated aging and to the action of some liquids, they have high hardness (51-53) �ShD and a Vicat softening point of 93-96�C. The new materials can be processed by methods specific to plastic materials (extrusion, injection, compression) in order to obtain finished products, and their field of applications can include: the footwear industry, the automotive industry, construction, packaging, agriculture, etc. The LCA analysis of the composites show a low environment impact. The values of the carbon footprint range between 0.58 Kg CO2 eq/kg and 0.75 Kg CO2 eq /kg due to the use of recycle low-density polyethylene and optimised efficient production process.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Chiari type I malformation is a bulbous-medullary junction malformation that occurs more frequently in the pediatric population. When symptomatic, it is surgically treated. The aim of our study was to evaluate the postoperative evolution in children according to the surgical technique. Material and methods: This was a retrospective study carried out in the neurosurgery department of the Regional University Hospital (CHRU) of Tours over a period of 14 years, covering all children who underwent surgery for a type I Chiari malformation. Results: Forty-eight patients were included in the study. The mean age was 104.4 months. Girls were in the majority because the sex ratio was 0.71. Older children (2-12 years) were the most represented group (62.5%). The clinical picture were dominated by headaches (62.42%) and scoliosis (20.83%). The mean descent of the cerebellar tonsils was 11.94 mm, and 19 (39.58%) children had syringomyelia. Thirty-one children benefited from a dural and arachnoid opening combined with dural plasty, and 17 from an extra-arachnoid opening without dural plasty. Postoperative outcome was better for dural and arachnoid openings with plasty. Conclusion: Symptomatic Chiari type I malformations are more common in children aged 2- 12 years. Dural and arachnoid openings with plasty were associated with fewer postoperative complications and shorter hospital stays than extra-arachnoid dural openings without plasty.

Authors:   University of Mississippi, Ochiai Kaori
Published: October 2024

This study investigated how self-directed perception training on Japanese nouns affected L1 American learners of Japanese (N = 48) focusing on (a) listening; (b) accent pronunciation; (c) the perceived naturalness; and (d) the correlations of perception and production. The experimental group engaged in pitch-accent listening tasks with accent-lined vocabulary lists. Both the experimental- and control groups were asked to detect the accent patterns and to pronounce 13 words with 2, 3, and 4 morae. The results showed improvement in the posttest on listening and pronunciation. A significant difference was found only for the experimental group with pronunciation of the no-line condition. Perception and production were positively correlated with each other. Further analysis suggested that pretest listening might be associated with posttest speaking but not vice-versa. Thus, integrating accent listening activities is strongly suggested. 本研究は英語が母語のアメリカ人の日本語学習者48人を対象に、各自がクラス外で行う聴覚練習が名詞のアクセント習得にどう影響するか調査した。特にa)リスニング、b)アクセントの発音、c)発音の自然さ、d)リスニングと発音の関係に焦点を置いた。実験群にはアクセントライン付きの単語リストを与え、ピッチアクセントの聞き取り練習を課した。テストでは2, 3, 4モーラの混じった13語のアクセントの発音とリスニングを行い、その結果、ポストテストのリスニングとアクセント発音に改善が見られた。特に実験群がアクセントラインなしで発音をした場合に有意差が見られた。本研究により聴覚力と発音の関連性が認められた。又、プリテストの聴覚力は、ポストテストの発音に影響する可能性があるが、発音の聴覚力への影響は認められなかった。この結果から、アクセントの改善に積極的にリスニング活動を取り込むことが推奨される。

This article presents the results of a comprehensive thermal analysis of cellulose-containing fabrics treated with stable suspensions derived from both unmodified and surface-modified Aerosil-380 nanoparticles. The study aimed to investigate the influence of nanoparticle treatment on the thermal behaviour and fire-resistant properties of the fabrics. The thermal tests, including techniques such as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), revealed that the application of Aerosil-380, particularly the modified versions, significantly enhanced the thermal stability and fire-technical characteristics of the treated textiles. These improvements were particularly notable in increased resistance to ignition and reduced combustion rates, indicating that the modified nanoparticles contributed to superior fire-retardant properties. The findings suggest that integrating modified Aerosil-380 nanoparticles into cellulose-based fabrics could provide a promising approach for developing advanced materials with enhanced safety features for fire-prone environments.

This study investigates the perceived challenges posed by Artificial Intelligence (AI) on student retention and critical thinking among vocational education students in tertiary institutions in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The increasing integration of AI tools in educational settings, particularly in vocational programs, presents both opportunities and challenges. While AI applications such as automated assessments and personalized learning systems offer enhanced efficiency, they may reduce essential interpersonal interactions and collaborative learning experiences. This could negatively impact student retention and critical thinking development, which are crucial in vocational education. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design, with data collected using a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was divided into sections addressing student retention and critical thinking, with items rated on a 5-point Likert scale. A sample of 206 students, drawn from the University of Uyo and Akwa Ibom State University, participated in the study. Stratified random sampling was employed to ensure adequate representation of students from different year levels. For data analysis, descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation were used to summarize the responses. Additionally, inferential statistics, including the independent samples t-test, were employed to examine gender differences in perceptions of AI’s impact on retention and critical thinking. The results revealed significant perceived threats of AI to both retention and critical thinking, with male students reporting higher mean scores than females. The study concludes that while AI integration in vocational education has potential benefits, it poses challenges that must be addressed. Recommendations include establishing guidelines for AI use in classrooms and promoting activities that foster critical thinking and independent learning.
A Study on the Extensibility of Perception Concept on K-culture : Focusing on ‘Sumtrend’ big data (2014-2023)
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Moon Han-byoul , Lee Jeong-yong
Published: October 2024

This paper examines the usage patterns, perceptions, and changes in vocabulary concepts surrounding K-culture from various angles, focusing on the big data of newspaper articles published from 2014 to 2023. The Sumtrend Analysis Center function was used as a data collection and analysis tool, and ‘K-culture,’ ‘Korean Wave,’ and ‘Korean pop culture’ were selected as keywords.
The amount of references to keywords and the change in related words during the period indicate that the term K-culture is not a term for the mass subject to refer to their cultural phenomena, but a term for a third subject used to emphasize state led industrial purposes or achievements. If the current situation continues, which focuses on the economic effects it creates rather than focusing on ‘culture,’ the essence of K-culture, the wonderful cultural symbol of ‘K-culture’ will eventually decline with only its shell remaining. Therefore, the possibility of the proliferation of K-culture results in whether it is possible to restore ‘culture,’ its origin, to the center of ‘K-culture.’ At this time, the reinstatement of this culture does not simply mean that ‘Korean culture’ should be emphasized or that it should be removed from the perspective of policy and industry. The Korean culture that K-culture has lost is necessary to focus on the ‘Korean element’ in the form of fragments inside the contents and restore and expand it gradually and indirectly highlight it.
Determinación de Poliaminas en Debaryomyces Hansenii Inhibida Químicamente en su Actividad Ornitina Descarboxilasa
Authors: Tovar Ramírez Dariel , Guzmán Villanueva Laura Teresa , Teles Andressa , Estrada Muñoz Norma Angélica
Published: October 2024

El uso de inhibidores de ornitina descarboxilasa (ODC) es útil para estudiar a las poliaminas, pues es una enzima clave en su biosíntesis. Las poliaminas en algunas especies han mostrado efectos positivos sobre el desarrollo digestivo y crecimiento. Nuestro estudio evaluó las concentraciones de poliaminas en la levadura Debaryomyces hansenii, utilizada como probiótico en acuicultura, comparando la actividad normal de la ornitina descarboxilasa (ODC+) y la actividad inhibida químicamente (ODC-) por DL-2-difluorometilornitina (DFMO). Las poliaminas cuantificadas mediante HPLC fueron putrescina (put), espermina (spm) y espermidina (spd). Los resultados no mostraron cambios significativos en las concentraciones de spm y spd entre grupos. Sin embargo, la concentración de put en ODC- (2.04E-08 ± 3.45E-08 ng/mL) mostró un decremento significativo en relación a ODC+ (0.0010 ± 0.0017 ng/mL), lo cual puede deberse al uso de rutas alternas de biosíntesis que utiliza D. hansenii para producir esta molécula. En conclusión, la inhibición de ODC por DFMO en D. hansenii no afecta la producción de spm y spd, pero sí reduce significativamente la síntesis de put. Estos hallazgos subrayan el potencial de las poliaminas, especialmente de la put, para incrementar el crecimiento y mejorar el desarrollo del sistema digestivo en larvas y adultos de peces.

This research investigates the role of artificial intelligence, specifically Robo advisors, in society's financial knowledge. Previous studies have mainly focused on the role of Robo advisors in investment decision-making aspects. However, this study focuses on how Robo advisors can facilitate learning in six critical areas of financial planning, both Islamic and conventional. These areas include retirement planning, investment planning, tax and zakat planning, risk management planning, retirement planning, and estate planning. The study interviewed various stakeholders, including bankers, financial education trainers, financial advisors, and members of society. The goal was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the digitization of financial knowledge and the implementation of robo-advisors. The findings reveal that Robo-advisors have the potential to stimulate interest in financial knowledge, particularly if they serve as gateways to a range of financial advisory services and act as tools for providing basic-level financial advice and information sharing. The convenience factor allows individuals to access initial insights into financial knowledge at their preferred time and location. Overall, this study significantly contributes to the advancement of financial education.

This dissertation investigates the influence of different acoustic-prosodic features on the perception of charismatic speech of YouTubers (i.e., creators of video content on YouTube who star in their own videos).
Charisma – if seen as skill used to draw in and retain an audience – is a major factor in success online, and part of charisma is transmitted via the voice. A selection of voice characteristics (e.g., pitch,
tempo, emphasis, pauses) are investigated in three perception studies to find out how certain features should be configured to be perceived as charismatic (and authentic, enthusiastic, likable, and persuasive as
related attributes) in the context of YouTube. The speakers in the sample were English speakers from England and North America, while all listeners were from England.

Published: October 2024

The paper uses a qualitative comparative case study design to examine across (and within) sectoral variation in occupational welfare outcomes (i.e. flexible working hours, occupational pensions and health and sickness benefits, fringe benefits complementing wages) for different groups of workers in food and chemical manufacturing in Germany and Belgium. Findings indicate that common national challenges can yield different occupational welfare outcomes across (and within) different sectors, which in turn affect workforce segmentation. The integration between local and sector-level power dynamics explains the extent to which and how negotiation on occupational welfare can entail segmentation.

The "Serra da Concórdia" is part of the Atlantic Forest phytogeographical domain in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro and it has a predominant phytophysiognomy of Semideciduous Seasonal Forest. This region underwent intense habitat loss and fragmentation during the 19th century, due to coffee plantations and later pastures. With the decline of these activities, the areas were abandoned, triggering secondary succession. In 2002, the "Parque Estadual da Serra da Concórdia" was established in this region to preserve the remaining forest fragments. The updated list of vascular plants recorded in this protected area, published in the "Catálogo de Plantas das Unidades de Conservação do Brasil", is presented here, along with information on richness, endemism, and conservation status.

The "Parque Estadual da Serra da Concórdia" houses 231 vascular plant species, of which 90% are angiosperms, 10% ferns and lycophytes, and 27% endemic to the Atlantic Forest. Ten species are threatened with extinction, three are categorized as Endangered, and seven as Vulnerable. Although there have been expeditions in the "Parque Estadual da Serra da Concórdia", they have been limited, resulting in a low number of records and the species richness for a protected area. This is notable considering the 2,130 Brazilian native vascular plant species recorded in the semideciduous seasonal forest of Rio de Janeiro. Our data indicates that floristic inventories of Brazilian protected areas could help highlight gaps in flora knowledge and support the proposal of effective conservation actions.
