Wealth in Water: A Blueprint for Sustainable Global Ocean Research
Authors: Diane Roessler Weinert
Published: June 2024

Pushing forward with leveraging water resources, promoting international cooperation, and ensuring transparency in deep-sea mining operations. There is also a concern about where to discharge the toxins of unpurified water. Artificial Intelligence has created a dominance in the applications field with a totally automated system. Out of a thorough analysis completed with indicators, satellite radar, and A Journals, there are 30 years of research and 8 years of monitored testing to achieve accuracy and relevance. The patents in place are, Oceanic Mining System (4446636), Flexible Solar Skin in Combination with an Airplane (4768738), Cargo Torpedo (4421050), Oceanic seaplow system (4398362), and previous articles like “Is Extracting Lithium and deep-sea mining more sustainable?”, “AI as a Means of Water Purification Protection”, “Global Water Distribution”, and “Can Deep Sea Water be Processed into Potable Water and Distributed into the Middle East’? To report some ballpark numbers on the proposal and how we would navigate these projects, there will be an exact location of where the plant will be built as well as a water/salinity report of the water being treated. There are still issues with analyzing the cost of desalination compared to other alternatives. Deep Sea Water proves to be a higher quality water and the investment is well worth it. The surveys lean toward clients preferring the International Standards Operating Procedure. All recipients agree there should be a sense of urgency on water shortages. Currently, AI has proven to be a vital asset in eliminating biases and expenses.

El don de la siesta by Miguel Ángel Hernández: Private Resistance in the Age of Transparency
Authors: Mistrorigo Alessandro
Published: June 2024

Agamben’s idea that the clandestine dimension of private life is the significant political element of individual life pairs with Miguel Ángel Hernández’s thesis expressed in El don de la siesta. According to him, in the era of transparency and hyper-visibility, siesta should be a subversive act. Hernández argues that siesta challenges the culture of productivity and constant exposure, offering a refuge for privacy and opening a pause in ordinary time. Through a multidisciplinary approach encompassing art, literature, and social criticism, the author advocates for a conscious type of siesta to reclaim time, body, and private space in an increasingly surveilled world. He sees this habit as an opportunity to redefine the relationship between public and private life, finding moments of evasion and disconnection amidst the frenetic contemporary life.

La presente investigación tiene como finalidad establecer la correspondencia entre agendas ambientales y planes de gestión y dinámicas sociales en el Partido del Pilar, Provincia de Buenos Aires, para comprender los factores que generan la desconexión entre las dinámicas sociales, culturales, económicas y ecológicas de las comunidades con los procesos de planificación del desarrollo y gestión ambiental. Para la concreción del mismo se examinaron las actuaciones y diagnósticos sobre la situación de planes de gestión ambiental, se identifican los niveles de articulación entre los procesos de planificación del desarrollo local y los planes de gestión ambiental, a través de la revisión de los criterios, principios y orientación y evaluación de las agendas y planes de acción ambiental territorial, esto se concretó mediante un análisis documental: revisión de planes ambientales y de desarrollo en el periodo 2018-2021, revisión y análisis histórico de las organizaciones sociales y ambientalistas periodo 2001- 2021, y entrevistas profundas a funcionarios públicos, líderes sociales y ambientales. Como conclusión de la investigación se evidencia que en los procesos de planificación hay una ausencia de la ciudanía con relación al acceso a información, participación y decisión respecto a la visión y gestión de desarrollo. La agenda pública se ha realizado desde los niveles jerárquicos de poder y control del territorio, a través de acuerdos en grupos de elite política y económica, configurando un territorio de carácter insustentable.
Women’s Representation in Sheila on 7 Song Lyrics: A Social Semiotic Analysis
Authors: Susetyaningsih Ririn , Handayani Wiwik Retno
Published: June 2024

This research aims at revealing the terms depicting women and how they are represented in Sheila on 7’s song lyrics. The data in this qualitative study were in the form of song lyrics by Sheila on 7 associated with women, collected using document study, and analyzed using the descriptive interpretative method and semiotic approach by referring to three aspects of meaning by Roland Barthes: denotation meaning, connotation meaning, and myth. The findings show that the terms used to depict women’s representation contain positive and negative connotations, and some term references play a crucial role in portraying the terms used to depict women’s representation. Besides, women are represented differently in the song lyrics; however, in general, they tend to be depicted as a creature bringing the values of beauty, affection, obedience, tenderness, power, wisdom, importance, and comfort, but also passive and weak. Women’s representation in Sheila on 7 song lyrics is in line with the patriarchal society in Indonesia, where women are respected as a creature worthy of esteem who still need protection from men. Since patriarchal gender stereotype has become a part of the cultural and social environment, the language choice used in the song lyrics proves that the environment influences language.
Morphological and agronomical characterization of beef type tomato hybrids
Authors: Ünal Ali , Özbaş M. Onur , Arslan Duygu , İlbi Hülya
Published: June 2024

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most important vegetable crops and agro-morphological characterization has a key role in the development of new varieties. In this study, 228 samples of the tomato hybrid type “Beef” (Solanum lycopersicum L.) were characterized by comparing with 11 standard varieties based on 24 quantitative traits and 2 qualitative traits to reveal the phenotypic diversity by using conventional descriptors proposed by IPGRI (1996) and UPOV (2011). A significant level of variability was found in most of the traits studied among the genotypes in two locations. A high level of broad-sense heritability (H2) was detected for many traits such as the number of fruits, firmness, immature fruit color, stem length up to the first inflorescence, total height, and number of days to the first flowering in both locations. There was a highly significant positive correlation among the color values (L*, a*, b*, c*, h*) but no positive correlation between a* and h*. Number of locule had a positive correlation with fruit width and fruit weight, and a positive correlation was determined between fruit length and pericarp thickness in both locations. While fruit weight had a highly significant negative correlation with the number of fruits and number of flowers, there was a highly significant negative correlation between the number of locules and the fruit length-to-width ratio in both locations. Results of PCA showed that PC1 and PC2 accounted for around 15.6% and 13.7% of total variation and 13.8% and 11.8% of total variation for Location 1 and Location 2, respectively. The first five principal components accounted for around 54.2% of the total variation for Location 1 and 48.2% of the total variation for Location 2. Cluster analysis grouped the 239 genotypes under six cluster groups for Location 1 and seven cluster groups for Location 2. Results of the cluster analysis revealed that Cluster 3 for Location 1 and Cluster 2 for Location 2 had prominent genotypes for some of the agronomically important traits like yield. The results showed that present phenotypic diversity could be useful in the selection of best-performing genotypes, which would be important candidates for the beef red tomato market in the spring season.
Characterisation and manufacturing methods of material extrusion 3D printing composites filaments based on polylactide and nanohydroxyapatite
Authors: Aniulis Jakub , Kryszak Bartłomiej , Grzymajło Michał , Dudzik Grzegorz , Abramski Krzysztof , Szustakiewicz Konrad
Published: June 2024

As the pace of scientific research and technological advancement accelerates, there is an increasing demand for rapid on-site prototyping with specific materials. Additive manufacturing through material extrusion 3D printing has emerged as an economically viable solution to this need. The production of custom filaments for this process frequently depends on low-volume filament manufacturing lines. A significant challenge in such production processes is maintaining the quality of the filament throughout its entire length, as this has a considerable impact on the quality of the final printed object. To ensure consistent quality, it is essential to monitor and manage a range of essential properties, including diameter consistency, volume variation, ovality, material homogeneity, compound ratio and the absence of internal and external defects such as air bubbles. This study presents the implementation of a real-time filament quality monitor (R-FQM), which provides detailed insights into the characteristics of the filament during the manufacturing process. In conjunction with a proof-of-concept drawing process for reducing filament diameter by solid-state extrusion, this approach addresses the challenge of maintaining the quality of filaments. The innovative techniques are illustrated in the fabrication of polylactide-based composite filaments with nanohydroxyapatite filler using a multi-stage drawing die solid-state extrusion process. Throughout the manufacturing process, the filaments were characterised using structural and thermal property analyses as well as a proposed tensile test, thereby confirming the effectiveness of the described approach.
SIMEX-based and analytical bias corrections in Stocking-Lord linking
Authors: Robitzsch Alexander
Published: June 2024

Stocking-Lord (SL) linking is a popular linking method for group comparisons based on dichotomous item responses. This article proposes a bias correction technique based on the simulation extrapolation (SIMEX) method for SL linking in the 2PL model in the presence of uniform differential item functioning (DIF). The SIMEX-based method is compared to analytical bias correction methods of SL linking. It turned out in a simulation study that SIMEX-based SL linking performed best, is easy to implement, and can be adapted to other linking methods straightforwardly.
Limited evidence for the impact of transcranial direct current stimulation on inhibitory function: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Conlan Mikayla , Williams Alexandra , Montoya R. Matthew , Tan Jane , Correia Helen , Fujiyama Hakuei
Published: June 2024

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied over the prefrontal cortex appeared to enhance inhibitory function, which prompted many researchers to empirically examine the effect of tDCS on inhibitory function. However, the current findings are inconclusive. Here, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to provide a quantitative assessment of the efficacy of tDCS in improving inhibitory function. A systematic search was conducted in three databases: Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Scopus, including studies with double-blind, sham-control trials investigating the effect of tDCS on inhibitory function. The review identified 44 studies (47 datasets, 1,051 participants), with less than a quarter (23%) presenting a low risk of bias. The overall effect of active tDCS compared to sham stimulation was very small in size and non-significant (Hedge’s g = 0.11, p = .15). Analyses examining the impact of moderators, including age, sex, disorder, task, and stimulation parameters, failed to reach the conventional significance level (|estimates| < 0.40, ps > .06), suggesting the limited effect of the moderators on the overall model. Our findings provided no clear evidence to support the benefit of active tDCS over sham in improving inhibitory control. This suggests that a single session of tDCS over the prefrontal cortex, using the currently accepted protocol, is unlikely to result in improved inhibitory function.

There was no relationship between whether participants were given information about their ‘partner’ and how likely the participants thought their ‘partner’ would be to detect a lie the participant told.
School, family, and children's development in Time Storeand Be Friend with The Sky
Authors:   Institute of Literature, Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, 20 Ly Thai To Street, Ly Thai To Ward, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi, Vietnam, Trinh Dang Nguyen Huong
Published: June 2024

In recent years, many South Korean children's literary works have been translated into Vietnamese. Meanwhile, some beautiful Vietnamese pieces are translated into Korean. The translation has led to cultural interactions through literature, expanding the horizon of young readers in the two countries. From that reality, the article applies the juxtapositional model of comparison to examine two pieces of workTime Storeby L.N. Young(2015) [1](South Korea) andBe Friend with the Skyby N.N.Anh(2019) [2](Vietnam) to explore new meanings of each work. Iftime storeemphasizes the role of time pressure on children in modern society,Be Friend with the Skyaffirms the healing role of love for children. By juxtaposing these two pieces of work and specifically analyzing child characters in their interactions with school, family, and their self-advocacy, the article shows dialogues in opposite directions, which eliminates the viewpoint of the role of adults towards children in the two pieces of work mentioned above. Besides, through the juxtapositional model of comparison, the article also discusses the interactions between Vietnamese and South Korean children's literature in the early 21stcentury.

Retention of Student Affairs Professionals: Compensation, Remote Work, Flexibility, and Advancement Opportunities
Authors: Bichsel Jacqueline , Schneider Jennifer
Published: June 2024

Student affairs professionals are at risk of leaving both their jobs and higher education in general. A survey of higher ed professionals was conducted in May of 2022 examining student affairs professionals’ likelihood of leaving their jobs, why they are considering leaving, and what factors may contribute to their retention. Results revealed that two-thirds of student affairs professionals are at least somewhat likely to look for other employment opportunities in the next 12 months. Compensation, remote work, job flexibility, and opportunities for advancement emerged as primary reasons student affairs professionals look for other employment. Compared to other position areas, student affairs professionals are disproportionately less satisfied with their salaries, and a higher salary was the most common reason cited for looking for other employment. Job satisfaction had the strongest correlation with the likelihood of looking for other employment opportunities. Remote work, age, and increased work demands since the pandemic were also associated with the likelihood of looking for other employment. Recommendations for improving the retention of student affairs professionals are discussed.

Published: June 2024

Canine ehrlichiosis is one of the main infectious diseases that affect dogs. It is an illness that veterinarians working in small animal clinics often have to deal with. This disease is a cause for concern not only in animal health but also in public health, in addition to having a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, many initially non-specific, which can evolve into more serious forms, which makes it crucial that the diagnosis is made as early as possible. In this context, the clinical history of 131 animals treated in veterinary clinics and hospitals in municipalities of the Baixada Fluminense (Rio de Janeiro) were evaluated, and the main clinical and laboratory changes identified in the animals were evaluated. Prostation, reduced appetite and bleeding were the owners' main complaints, while fever, dehydration and weight loss were the most common changes identified in the clinical examination. Given the importance of ehrlichiosis in the medical clinic of companion dogs, it is necessary to diagnose and implement appropriate therapy as early as possible, in order to delay the progression of the disease and reduce deaths.

Izin Poligami Dalam Penetapan Mahkamah Syar’iyah (Studi Kasus Penetapan Nomor 272/Pdt.g/2023/MS.Bna) Indonesia
Authors: Muna Raziatul Muna00
Published: June 2024

Pasal 4 ayat (2) Undang-Undang No.1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan disebutkan ada tiga syarat suami dapat berpoligami, yaitu istri tidak dapat menjalankan kewajibannya sebagai istri, istri mendapat cacat badan atau penyakit yang tidak dapat disembuhkan dan istri tidak dapat melahirkan keturunan, namun dalam Putusan Nomor 272/Pdt.G/2023/MS.Bna, hal tersebut tentu tidak sesuai dengan syarat poligami yang terdapat dalam UU Perkawinan dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam. Penulisan artikel ini untuk menjelaskan pertimbangan majelis hakim dalam menetapkan perkara berdasarkan peraturan perundang-undangan Indonesia serta ditinjau dari asas keadilan. Penelitian ini menggunakan yuridis normatif, yaitu suatu pendekatan putusan yang didasarkan peraturan perundang-undangan. Pada akhirnya putusan nomor 272/Pdt.G/2023/MS.Bna menunjukkan bahwa majelis hakim dalam mengabulkan izin poligami berdasarkan Pasal 4 ayat 2 huruf c  kurang tepat dan belum sesuai dengan peraturan yang berlaku, serta putusan yang dikabulkan belum sesuai dengan tujuan hukum bagi para pihak yang berperkara karena putusan ini tidak adil bagi Termohon. Hal ini dikarenakan Termohon masih menjalankan kewajibannya sebagai istri, Termohon tidak cacat badan atau penyakit yang tidak dapat disembuhkan dan selama masa perkawinan antara Termohon dan Pemohon selama 20 tahun telah dikaruniai 4 (empat) orang anak. Selanjutnya dalam menetapkan putusan agar lebih teliti sehinngga mencitakan putusan yang adil dan bermanfaat bagi seluruh para pihak.
RECASTING WEST GERMAN ELITES
Authors: Hayse Michael R.
Published: June 2024

The rapid shift of German elite groups' political loyalties away from Nazism and toward support of the fledgling democracy of the Federal Republic, in spite of the continuity of personnel and professional structures, has surprised many scholars of postwar Germany. The key, Hayse argues, lies in the peculiar and paradoxical legacy of these groups' evasive selective memory, by which they cast themselves as victims of the Third Reich rather than its erstwhile supporters. The avoidance of responsibility for the crimes and excesses of the Third Reich created a need to demonstrate democratic behavior in the post-war public sphere. Ultimately, this self-imposed pressure, while based on a falsified, selective group memory of the recent past, was more important in the long term than the Allies' stringent social change policies.
THE SPIRIT OF THE BERLIN REPUBLIC
Authors: Dettke Dieter
Published: June 2024

The "Berlin Republic" has become the key concept of post-Cold War Germany and as such has been widely discussed inside as well as outside Germany. Symbolized by the move of the government from Bonn to Berlin it signals all the tangible and intangible changes in Germany's position in the world that have taken place during the 1990s. Well known German authors, decision-makers, and cultural leaders as well as internationally renowned experts on German affairs contribute to this volume, examining various aspects of the New Germany and its old/new capital, such as history, foreign policy, art, architecture, and culture. In this way, the reader gains a varied but comprehensive picture of Germany after unification as perceived by its neighbors, friends, and allies.
DEFIANCE AND COMPLIANCE
Authors: El-Kholy Heba Aziz
Published: June 2024

The gap between rich and poor is widening in most countries, putting more pressure on women in particular who often find themselves with the ultimate responsibility to provide for their families, especially their children, in the face of economic and political discrimination. Based on participant observation and in-depth interviews in four low-income neighborhoods in Cairo, this book offers rich, novel and intimate data relating to poor women's lives and everyday forms of resistance to gender inequalities in the labor market and at home. In contrast to the common stereotype of Middle Eastern women as totally oppressed and devoid of agency, this study shows the complex and diverse ways in which low-income women devise strategies to contest existing gender arrangements and improve their situation. It is a significant contribution to current debates about poverty, gender, power, and resistance.
AGING IN TODAY'S WORLD
Authors: Shield Renée Rose , Aronson Stanley M.
Published: June 2024

Never before in human existence have the aged been so numerous — and for the most part — healthy. In this important new book, two professionals, an anthropologist and a physician, wrestle with the complex subject of aging. Is it inevitable? Is it a burden or gift? What is successful aging? Why are some people better at aging than others? Where is aging located? How does it vary among individuals, within and between groups, cultures, societies, and indeed, over the centuries? Reflecting on these and other questions, the authors comment on the impact age has in their lives and work. Two unique viewpoints are presented. While medicine approaches aging with special attention given to the body, its organs, and its functions over time, anthropology focuses on how the aged live within their cultural settings. As this volume makes clear, the two disciplines have a great deal to teach each other, and in a spirited exchange, the authors show how professional barriers can be surmounted. In a novel approach, each author explores a different aspect of aging in alternating chapters. These chapters are in turn followed by a commentary by the other. Further, the authors interrupt each other within the chapters - to raise questions, contradict, ask for clarification, and explore related ideas - with these interjections emphasizing the dynamic nature of their ideas about age. Finally, a third "voice" - that of a random old man - periodically inserts itself into the text to remind the authors of their necessarily limited understanding of the subject.
WHO OWNS THE PAST?
Authors: Kaneff Deema
Published: June 2024

In the decades since the collapse of socialism in eastern Europe, time has been a central resource under negotiation. Focusing on a local community that was considered a "model" in the socialist period, the author explores a variety of state-sponsored and unofficial pasts - history, folklore, and tradition - and shows how they "fit" together in everyday life. During the socialist period, the past was a central dimension of local politics and village identity. Post-socialist development has demanded a revaluation of temporality - as well as public and private space. This has led to fundamental changes in social life and political relations, reduced local resources, threatened village identity and transformed political activity through the emergence of new political elites. While the full implications of this process are still being played out, this study underlines some of the fundamental processes prevalent across eastern Europe that help explain widespread ambiguity vis-B-vis post-socialist reform.
AN EARTH-COLORED SEA
Authors: Almeida Miguel Vale de
Published: June 2024

Although the post-colonial situation has attracted considerable interest over recent years, one important colonial power – Portugal – has not been given any attention. This book is the first to explore notions of ethnicity, "race", culture, and nation in the context of the debate on colonialism and postcolonialism. The structure of the book reflects a trajectory of research, starting with a case study in Trinidad, followed by another one in Brazil, and ending with yet another one in Portugal. The three case studies, written in the ethnographic genre, are intertwined with essays of a more theoretical nature. The non-monographic, composite – or hybrid – nature of this work may be in itself an indication of the need for transnational and historically grounded research when dealing with issues of representations of identity that were constructed during colonial times and that are today reconfigured in the ideological struggles over cultural meanings.
SARTRE AGAINST STALINISM
Authors: Birchall Ian H.
Published: June 2024

Most critics of the political evolution of Jean-Paul Sartre have laid emphasis on his allegedly sympathetic and uncritical attitude to Stalinist Communism due, to a large extent, to their equation of Marxism with Stalinism. It is true that Sartre was guilty of many serious misjudgements with regard to the USSR and the French Communist Party. But his relationship with the Marxist Left was much more complex and co tradictory than most accounts admit. This book offers a political defence of Sartre and shows how, from a relatively apolitical stance in the 1930s, Sartre became increasingly involved in the politics of the Left; though he always distrusted Stalinism, he was sometimes driven to ally himself with it because of the force of its argument.
