Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT: The genipap (Genipa americana L.) is a non-endemic species native to Brazil belonging to the family Rubiaceae. It is a species that unites socioeconomic and environmental pillars. The study objective was to establish the induction of indirect somatic embryogenesis in foliar explants of genipap genotypes. Leaf explants of UMB, SAL, JSA, SC, and CER accessions cultivated in half the salt concentration of Murashige & Skoog (MS), 30 g/L sucrose, and 3g/L PhytagelTM with the following combinations of NAA × BA regulators were used: M1: 4.0/4.0 mg/L NAA and BA, M2: 4.0/6.0 mg/L NAA and BA, and M3: 6.0/4.0 mg/L NAA and BA. At 60 days of culture, they were transferred to secondary embryogenic callus multiplication medium supplemented with 2.21 mg/L of 2,4-D. At 30 and 60 days, the increment (%) and fresh mass (g) of primary callus and at 120 days the presence of embryogenic callus were evaluated. The primary medium with 4.0 mg/L of NAA and 6.0 mg/L of BA induced embryogenic primary callus in leaf explants of the genipap accessions SAL, SC, and JSA. The secondary medium was promising for the multiplication of embryogenic callus. Cytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of embryogenic cells in SAL, SC, and JSA accessions.
Monitoring subtropical aquatic ecosystems: evaluating the use of Trophic State Indices (TSI) and Aquatic Life Protection (API) as baseline indices by monitoring an urban reservoir in southeastern Brazil

Published: August 2024

Abstract The use of indices is recommended for continuous monitoring and assessment of aquatic ecosystems, as they summarize the technical complexity of the results of multiple analyzes performed and translate these results into quality classes that reflect the actions taken and indicate ways to recover and conserve the resources. Environmental trophic state indices provide information on how nutrients, light availability and other factors promote the development of algal biomass and contribute to increased enrichment status of aquatic systems. Lamparelli's Trophic State Index (TSI) distinguishes between lentic (lower phytoplankton productivity) and lotic (higher phosphorus concentrations and lower chlorophyll-a concentrations) environments. The Aquatic Life Protection Index (ALPI) reflects water quality based on the trophic state of the environment, determines the degree of toxicity to biota and indicates deficiencies in variables and conditions essential for the protection of aquatic life. The indices were applied to a long data series to monitor the Guarapiranga Reservoir, an urban reservoir in the state of São Paulo in southeastern Brazil, which suffers from the urbanization of its surroundings and the discharge of domestic wastewater. The evaluation of the time series from 1978 to 2021 using these indices showed a deterioration in the trophic status and conservation of aquatic life in the reservoir and in one of its tributaries. Considering that the joint assessment of the two indices provides an approach to environmental conservation, their long-term use reflected changes and impacts on the environment and showed the best-preserved sites. Both indices are suitable for application in a baseline network in subtropical environments. They can pinpoint locations for better monitoring and are sensitive to environmental changes.

Published: August 2024

In this paper, we show that the Central Limit Theorem is deeply ingrained in the mathematical and physical structure of Quantum Mechanics. We show, furthermore, that the Central Limit Theorem provides us with a clarification of the assumptions made by other quantization processes – in particular those using the notion of expansion of some variable up to second order.

Published: August 2024

In our study, four species of wood-decaying fungi with perennial fruiting bodies were used as the source of biologically active compounds (BACs) - Inonotus obliquus (chaga), Fomitopsis pinicola, Fomes fomentarius, and Ganoderma applanatum. Fungi have a wide range of secondary metabolites but are used much less frequently than plants in both folk and official medicine. Fungotherapy could be considered a promising trend in the development of modern natural therapy. Therefore, qualitative and quantitative analyses of the extracts were carried out. The cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of aqueous-alcoholic extracts, obtained from fungal fruiting bodies were assessed after application on Drosophila melanogaster. The frequency of the larvae lethally, SMART mosaicism, the GstD1 gene expression and the DNA damage were studied. The addition of 0.5% of fungal extracts to the food substrate did not cause a significant change in the lethality level in D. melanogaster. All extracts caused an increase in the degree of DNA damage. The greatest effect was caused by extract from I. obliquus and G. applanatum. Chaga extract caused a significant increase in the expression level of the GstD1 gene. F. fomentarius extract exhibited the lowest level of DNA damage and reduced GstD1 gene expression. The F. fomentarius extract showed a pronounced antiproliferative effect. So, Drosophila melanogaster could be used as the preliminary test object for early studies of biological activities from natural raw materials as it is much cheaper compared with cell lines and vertebrate models.
Analysis and application of nano cellulose eco-friendly materials in green buildings
Authors: Zhang Xiang
Published: August 2024

Green building is a building concept that pursues environmental protection, resource conservation, and sustainable development, and the selection of materials has an important impact on building performance. This study proposes using nano cellulose–based materials in green buildings. Nano cellulose is utilised to prepare gel electrolytes for energy storage in photovoltaic systems. The performance analysis system of the material is constructed from many aspects, and the corresponding parameter calculation method is designed. The results demonstrated that the surface of the nano cellulose material was smoother and more flat in the 5 nm image by scanning electron microscopy. In the Raman spectroscopy test, the ratio of strong and weak hydrogen bond between molecules of the water energy storage material prepared by the research method was 0.62. In the nucleation over-potential test, the flexible energy storage material made by the research method reached the equilibrium potential at the position of −27.9 mV. In the charge–discharge curve test, the flexible energy storage material made by the research method had a capacitance of 45.3 F/g when the current density was 10 A/g. The results indicate that the environmental protection materials made by the research method have good material properties and energy storage capacity.
Review of factors affecting bond between ultrahigh-performance concrete and steel fibres
Authors: Dangwal Shubham , Singh Heaven , Kumar Prabhat
Published: August 2024

Ultrahigh-performance concretes (UHPCs) have advantages over conventional concretes but suffer from brittleness owing to their high strength. The addition of steel fibres significantly overcomes this limitation by acting as a stress-transferring bridge between the matrix and the fibres, which enhances the durability and mechanical performance of the mix. For this review, data from several previous research studies were compiled in order to offer a comprehensive understanding of the varying factors influencing the pull-out behaviour and bonding characteristics between the UHPC matrix and steel fibres. The findings of this study revealed that deformed steel fibres embedded at 30° and 45° exhibit significantly greater loading rate sensitivity on the pull-out energy under quasi-static and seismic loading rates when compared with straight steel fibres. Compared with steel fibres with a low aspect ratio (i.e. 62.5), steel fibres with a large aspect ratio (i.e. 125) provided higher strain capacity (by 77%), energy absorption capacity (by 40%) and post-cracking strength (by 10%) under impact loading. The possible factors in the domain of fibre–matrix interactions of fibre-reinforced concrete are covered and discussed in this article.
Research on the reaction kinetics of alkali-activated materials
Authors: Lei Yu , Zha Xiaoxiong
Published: August 2024

The chemical reactions that occur during the preparation of alkali-activated materials (AAMs) were categorised into two interdependent processes (ion dissolution and ion polymerisation) in this study. The factors influencing the ion dissolution rate and the ion polymerisation rate were analysed separately. A dissolution kinetics equation was used to quantify the relationship between the dissolution rate and factors such as the fineness of the solid raw materials, pH and temperature. Similarly, a polymerisation kinetics equation was employed to quantify the relationship between the polymerisation rate and ion concentration, temperature and other relevant factors. The established reaction kinetics equations were then used to predict gel formation in AAMs at different curing ages. The computational results indicate that the reaction kinetics equations developed in this study can predict gel formation in AAMs at different curing ages with reasonable accuracy, using variables such as temperature, alkali concentration and the type of solid raw material as inputs. These findings provide a deeper understanding of the chemical reactions involved in the preparation of AAMs.

Mental Life and Consciousness
Authors: Alves Pedro
Published: August 2024

Based on the concept of intentionality, I argue for an integrative view of mental life as a higher function of the living organism, beyond the classical oppositions and dualisms between mind and body. Next, I claim in thesis that Phenomenology has never truly isolated and addressed the problem of consciousness, given the persistent confusion between it and intentionality. Similarly, I also isolate attention from consciousness and argue, based on experience, for the existence of both conscious and unconscious mental processes. In the third section, I attempt a phenomenological description of consciousness as such, showing its high impact on mental life. Finally, some remarks are made about the difference between the concept of consciousness I propose and the classical analyses on qualia and sentience.
Cyberactivism in Syria: Emergence, Transformation, Potentials, and Limitations
Authors: Helwani Iyad
Published: August 2024

The rise of the cyber domain and social media platforms has profoundly impacted the socio-political landscape in Syria, enabling cyber-activism to emerge as a potent force against authoritarian regimes. This qualitative research examines the evolution, impact, and challenges Syrian cyberactivists face, drawing from professional reports, interviews, and scholarly literature. While online platforms empower activists by facilitating mobilization and information dissemination, activists also face significant obstacles, including surveillance, censorship, and cyberattacks within a statecontrolled digital environment. Despite these challenges, cyber-activism in Syria played a crucial role in shaping narratives, fostering solidarity, challenging the regime, influencing international perceptions, and highlighting the transformative potential of the cyber domain in repressive contexts.
Estimation of High-Frequency Empirical Green’s Tensor Spatial Derivatives from Observed Seismic Records

Published: August 2024

We investigated the feasibility of estimating high-frequency empirical Green’s tensor spatial derivatives (EGTDs) using aftershocks of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, Japan. Before the EGTD estimation, we accurately determined two source parameters (seismic moment and duration of the source time function [STF]) and three fault parameters (strike, dip angle, and rake angle), which are necessary for the EGTD estimation. Further, we investigated the extent to which high-frequency EGTDs can be estimated using five groups consisting of aftershocks in the Japan Meteorological Agency magnitude scale range over 1.5<Mj<3.5, within zones of 1 and 2 km diameter. We found that high-frequency EGTDs with cutoff frequencies between 8 and 16 Hz could be estimated from the aftershocks within the zone of 1 km diameter using optimum values of the source and fault parameters. In contrast, it is difficult to stably estimate the high-frequency EGTDs from the aftershocks within the zone of 2 km diameter, even for the cutoff frequency of 4 Hz. Furthermore, we found that the accuracy of the EGTDs is evaluated by the reproducibility of earthquake motion records as well as the STF. We examined whether there is a difference in the reproducibility of recorded earthquake motions by earthquake motions synthesized using EGTDs with two different STFs. The two types of EGTDs, which were estimated by adopting the two STFs, reproduced the earthquake motion records with equal accuracy but were quite different in waveform and amplitude from each other, indicating that we should adopt the STF that is based on or consistent with the physics of fault fracture when estimating the high-frequency EGTDs. Thus, it is certainly feasible to estimate the high-frequency EGTDs from earthquake motion records radiated from a 1 km diameter zone using an appropriate STF.

Published: August 2024

This exploratory, design-based research study sought to understand potential shifts in elementary teachers' conceptualizations of problem scoping, as well as possible differences in the perspectives teachers draw upon as they engage in problem scoping conversations and activities across a critical, engineering focused professional development (PD) program. To understand these shifts and differences, data were collected in the form of semi-structured interviews, concurrent think aloud protocols, video observations, and teacher generated artifacts. The data were then analyzed using thematic and epistemic network analyses. Teachers' semi-structured interviews and reflective journals demonstrated change in their conceptualizations of problem scoping. In their post-PD interviews teachers emphasized: (a) the need to identify the root cause(s) of engineering design problems; (b) the importance of actively interrogating problems from multiple perspectives; and (c) the significance of acknowledging engineers' identities in order to mitigate bias. An analysis of the video observation data and teacher generated artifacts demonstrated shifts in teachers' problem scoping conversations and activities. In particular, ENA models and Mann-Whitney U tests indicated statistically significant differences in the perspectives teachers drew connections between as they scoped ill-structured design problems from Module 1 to 2 (p=0.02), Module 2 to 3 (p=0.03), and Module 3 to 4 (p=0.02).

Pornography can be defined as writing or images of the human body that are sexual or open with the aim of fulfilling sexual desires. The impact of pornography itself can damage the PFC (Pre Frontal Cortex) in teenagers who are experiencing a period of growth where the brain is still developing or processing to regulate emotions and cognition. Teenagers who continuously view pornographic content will experience addiction. Addiction is a condition where individuals are dependent both physically and mentally. The purpose of writing this article is to explain the impact of pornography addiction on teenagers who are still growing. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative approach by collecting data through search engines in the form of Google Scholar and Academia.edu. The relevant articles produced were six journal articles related to the impact of pornography addiction on teenagers psychologically, mentally, and medically. It can be concluded that there are three impacts, namely psychological, social, and medical impacts. Among the psychological impacts are changing a person to be more aggressive, impulsive, and always thinking dirty thoughts.

Published: August 2024

The need for love and affection is a basic human need. In fulfilling these needs, humans will try to find an attachment figure by building romantic relationships, especially in early adulthood. Not all romantic relationships are based on strong commitment, which raises many questions about attachment in individuals who are in relationships without commitment. This study aims to determine whether there is attachment in romantic relationships built without commitment. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative by distributing questionnaires to 20 participants in a relationship without commitment with the age range of 18-30. The results show that 3 out of 4 attachment indicators are successfully fulfilled by individuals who undergo relationships without commitment in early adulthood, so it cannot be proven that the absence of commitment will cause the absence of attachment to the relationship. The data results also indicate that attachment will still exist, especially in the aspects of satisfaction, trust, and self-disclosure, even though the relationship is built without based on formal commitment. The findings of this study are expected to be useful in developing the study of psychology, especially social psychology, regarding the discussion of problems in relationships and their relation to mental health.

Coastal areas are vulnerable to damage, many surrounding communities feel the impact because they depend on their economic conditions on coastal resources. The behavior of tourists and coastal communities who litter is widely found on the coast of Indonesia and has become a serious problem. Pro-environmental behavior in coastal tourism communities is influenced by several factors, namely internal and external. People who carry out pro-environmental behavior will feel the impact of the behavior applied in the beach environment. It is hoped that by knowing pro-environmental behavior in the coastal environment community, the community can apply and improve pro-environmental behavior. The approach taken by the author is a literature study with secondary data, collecting scientific articles and other scientific sources through Google Scholar. Data collection is taken in full text from journals and articles related to pro-environmental behavior in coastal tourism communities. Until the results obtained the pro-environmental behavior of coastal tourism communities in Indonesia mostly has not been implemented properly, causing tourists to also not behave pro-environmentally. Socialization to the community and the application of behavior starting from the provision of waste can be the first step for applying good pro-environmental behavior for the sustainability of the beach tourism environment.

Bullying is a social phenomenon because it has become a prevalent issue among adolescents and society at large. It is characterized by aggressive behavior, often in the form of repeated and intentional oppression by an individual or group using their power to harm those perceived as weaker. This phenomenon has detrimental consequences for victims, both physically and psychologically. Most bullying victims experience more psychological effects, such as anxiety, decreased self-esteem, and impaired interpersonal relationships. Therefore, this study explores the characteristics of bullying behaviors and their impact on victims. The qualitative research method was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews for data collection. Subjects in this study were 2 people. The findings reveal that the bullying experiences of the participants originated during their school years and were perpetrated by their peers. These experiences hurt both participants, causing physical and psychological harm, leading to decreased self-esteem and difficulties or lingering fear in establishing social relationships, particularly friendships.

Self-concept becomes the most important thing for students. Because self-concept can determine what kind of behavior will be shown by a person. A positive self-concept will make individuals avoid negative behavior, while a negative self-concept can make individuals take deviant actions. One of the factors that affects self-concept is bullying. This is worth discussing because bullying is one of the cases that are often found in school environments. The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of bullying on student self-concept. This research uses a literature review method with descriptive analysis. The results of this study found that bullying has an impact on student self-concept. The impacts that arise are low self-esteem, having negative self-evaluation, hating oneself, having no self-respect, stress, and a tendency to withdraw from the social environment. The suggestion from this research is that it is necessary to further examine the impact of bullying on the self-concept of female and male students.

Working memory enables students to absorb new information and actively combine it with prior knowledge. Working memory is intimately related to students’ academic abilities and high-level cognitive processes. The purpose of this study is to determine how coffee fragrance affects working memory. This survey included 62 students from Malang City, aged 18 to 25. The experimental research design employed a between-subjects design. Each partition was randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: experimental or control (coffee aroma versus no coffee fragrance). The results of this investigation revealed no significant difference in accuracy between the experimental and control groups (p = 0.455; t = -0.752). As a result, we may conclude that the aroma of coffee has no substantial influence on students' working memory. Subsequent analysis indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in reaction time (RT) between the experimental group exposed to coffee aroma and the control group (p = 0.677; t = 0.420). These findings suggest that coffee aroma does not exert a significant influence on working memory performance among university students.
AbstrakWorking memory menjadikan mahasiswa secara aktif memproses informasi baru dan mampu menggabungkannya dengan pengetahuan yang sudah ada. Bagi mahasiswa, working memory sangat berkaitan erat dengan kemampuan akademik hingga pemrosesan kogntiif tingkat tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh aroma kopi terhadap working memory. Partisipan penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa di Kota Malang yang berjumlah 62 orang dengan rentang usia 18–25 tahun. Desain penelitian eksperimen menggunakan between-subject design. Setiap partisipan ditugaskan secara acak pada salah satu dari dua kelompok perlakuan, yakni kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol (aroma kopi vs. tanpa aroma kopi). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pada akurasi antara kelompok eksperimen dan kontrol (p = 0.455 ; t=-0.752). Selanjutnya, hasil analisis juga menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pada waktu reaksi (RT) antara kelompok eksperimen dan kontrol (p = 0,677 ; t = 0,420). Dengan demikian, aroma kopi tidak memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap working memory pada mahasiswa.

Authors: Li Wenxiu
Published: August 2024

With the gradual implementation of the policy of promoting the professional development of teachers in primary and secondary schools in China, it has gradually become a consensus in the field of education management practice to set up organizations and carry out teacher development activities to promote the overall improvement of the competence and quality of the teacher team, to promote the improvement of the quality of teaching and learning in primary and secondary schools, and to assist in the high-quality development of regional education. How to promote the enhancement of teachers’ teaching ability from a new perspective and improve the effectiveness of teachers’ professional development activities has become one of the primary concerns of practitioners. The application of relevant theories of human resource management to explore teacher professional development activities may provide new ideas and feasible measures to solve specific problems in practice. This study will provide strategies from the aspects of training, incentives, career planning, and team building to help teachers’ professional growth and development. Optimize the management path of the teaching force in primary and secondary schools, stimulate the endogenous motivation of teachers’ professional development, and improve the talent training model of primary and secondary schools.

Published: August 2024

A study was conducted to investigate factors influencing educators’ preparedness for transitioning to online teaching following the global pandemic. The analysis of data gathered from 281 teachers through a survey, which included demographic information, utilization of online tools, and their reflections on the transition to online teaching, aimed to identify the variables that affected their perceived readiness for potential online schooling. The findings revealed that high school teachers considered themselves more prepared compared to teachers at other school levels, while no significant differences in perceived readiness were observed across subject areas. Additionally, teachers’ prior experience with online tools seemed to enhance their preparedness. The implications of these results for teachers are discussed in relation to potential future disruptions to traditional schooling.
Measuring Cybersecurity Teaching: Case University Students in Finland

We present effectiveness measurements of five cybersecurity teaching interventions. We created a model for examining dependencies between teaching, students’ self-perceived cybersecurity knowledge and skills, cybersecurity related interests, attitudes, and self-efficacy, and intended and recalled security behaviour. We tested the model hypotheses and measured differences between before and after receiving teaching. We found teaching has moderate to strong positive correlations with knowledge, and skills, as well as topic, further studies, and career interests. Students with higher cybersecurity specific self-efficacy have a higher interest towards intervention topics, further cybersecurity studies, cybersecurity career, and cybersecurity research. Self-efficacy also seems to have a role in security behaviour intentions. This suggests that building self-efficacy is important, if teaching pursues behavioural change. Knowledge, skills, cybersecurity and skills specific self-efficacy, and recalled security actions had statistically significantly higher values after teaching than before it. However, pre- and post-measurements do not show statistically significant change in all variables associating with teaching, for example in interest related variables. This implicates that in teaching, we should consider how the interventions are supposed to raise student interest, as interest is connected to motivation and academic success.
Determinants Influencing the Continuous Intention of Online Learning among Art Undergraduates in the Chengdu Area
Authors: Zhang Xin
Published: August 2024

This research aims to determine what factors affect fine arts majors’ continuance intention using online learning. The Technology Model (Information System Success Model), the theoretical foundation for this paper, assumes Service Quality by testing students’ experience as predictors of their continuance intention using distance online learning: System Quality, Information Quality, and Student Engagement. The paper investigates the impact of five potential satisfaction variables on student’s continued intention to use online learning. This study uses a quantitative research approach to sample all fine arts majors with online education experience, resulting in 545 valid questionnaires. The population size is undergraduates majoring in fine arts from three universities in Chengdu area. The sample size is 724, and quota sampling method is adopted. The statistical results of the questionnaire show that all the independent and mediating variables significantly affect the satisfaction of the dependent variables, especially online learning satisfaction. Therefore, it is suggested that the teaching administration institutions of art majors in universities should optimize and improve the current online teaching mode according to the results of this study so that students’ satisfaction with online learning can be increased and so that an ideal teaching impact and continuance usage intention can be obtained. From the conceptual framework of the Information System Success Model, this study identifies the factors that affect the continuous intention of fine arts undergraduates in online learning and formulates corresponding strategies.
