The spiritual aspect and spirituality will always exist in every human being. This indicates that in human life it will continue to coexist with religion. Religious actors will experience religion. Like a traveler who performs worship not as usual, apart from prayer, he walks along the road as a servant to Allah SWT. This paper aims to examine the spiritual side and religious experiences of travelers. This research is a etnographic research, to review the traveler's narrative on the YouTube platform “sinau hurip”. Using Joachim Wach's theory and concept of religious experience, the results of this study show that travelers carry out religious laws based on several forms of expression of religious experience: First, in the form of intellectual/ thought, he is a person who is aware of his behavior (not ODGJ) and always remembers the obligation to worship. Second, in the form of action, he applies worship and holds the principles of being a traveler such as being prohibited from asking, stealing and hoping that someone will have mercy. Third, in the form of fellowship he belongs to a small group. Which is not written in quantity. However, he feels a greater sense of solidarity and a strong inner bond.

This research is entitled The Function of the Police Code of Ethics in Preventing Violations by Members of the Police. The problem in this study is whether the police code of ethics has functioned properly against members of the police as legal officers and whether there are obstacles in applying sanctions against members of the police who violate the police code of ethics. The benefits of this research are expected to be useful for the development of legal science in general. The method used in this research is normative legal research. This research examines the Police Code of Ethics. The conclusion of this research is that the police code of ethics has functioned against members of the police as law enforcement officials. So that with the functioning of the police code of ethics, it can suppress violations of the police code of ethics. The regulation of the Police Professional Code of Ethics is not given an adequate explanation or even no explanation at all, there is still reluctance to examine their own colleagues. The suggestion of this research is that police who commit violations of the police code of ethics, then the prosecution of violations of the police code of ethics must be processed transparently, firmly and responsibly. It is necessary to have a discretion to supervise the police as state apparatus.

Children's games are one of the elements used by individuals in society to transfer their culture to the future. The child experiences the stages of understanding and recognizing the world they live in while playing games. Through games, the child learns the behavioral patterns of social life and various aspects of culture, perhaps for the first time.
Play, which is one of the basic needs of the child, is a duty for him/her. The child who plays with fun learns by practicing rituals that contain cultural elements. Thus, cultural transfer is realized.
When studies on children's games in the Turkic world are looked into, it is seen that there is not much difference in terms of practice and rules in games.
In this article, the children's games of South Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan Turks will be compared in terms of the creation and transfer of cultural memory, and the survival of national and universal values.

Climate change has been projected to negatively affect genetic resources of the forests worldwide. Thus, integrating biotechnological innovations with traditional forest conservation strategies offers as a promising pathway to enhance the resilience of forest genetic resources. Biodiversity informatics plays a crucial role in managing and analysing data, supporting informed decision-making in forest management and conservation. Advancements in genomics and sequencing technologies, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and whole genome sequencing (WGS), have revolutionized the understanding of complex traits in forest trees. These technologies facilitate the identification of genetic markers, aiding breeding programmes and management strategies. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR, in our study referring to CRISPR-Cas9 system) technology and the development of transgenic trees offer new possibilities for improving traits like growth, stress tolerance, and wood quality in forest species, though the potential ecological impacts warrant careful evaluation. Epigenetic research in forest trees provides insights into adaptation mechanisms to environmental changes through gene expression and phenotypic variation. The synergy between biotechnological advances and conservation practices is vital for sustaining forest ecosystems amidst rapid environmental shifts. Recommendations call for fostering interdisciplinary collaborations, enhancing biodiversity informatics infrastructure, engaging stakeholders, prioritizing epigenetic research, and developing regulatory frameworks for genome editing. These steps are imperative for a holistic approach to forest conservation, ensuring the adaptive capacity of forests and safeguarding their genetic resources against the backdrop of climate change.

Published: June 2024

School violence has received increased interest from researchers during the last decades. According to the literature, violence in schools is related to various negative outcomes, such as a negative climate, decreased well-being of the students, or bad academic performance. Numerous studies have tried to detangle the underlying variables that can improve coexistence and prevent peer aggression and violence. Emotional competencies seem to constitute an interesting factor in this deed, increasing well-being and positive coexistence in class. The present study aims at analyzing the role of emotional competencies when preventing violence, as well as the role that anxiety plays in this relationship. The sample was constituted of 767 Spanish primary school students of 4th, 5th, and 6th grade from various public and private centers of a few northen Spain cities. Variables of emotional competencies, anxiety, and violence were gathered with self-informed questionnaires (CDE 9-13, STAI and CUVE-R). A pre-post design with experimental and control group was carried out. Results show that, as it was expected, emotional competences are inversely correlated to violence. Also, anxiety plays an important role in the relationship between both factors, although no full mediation was found. Several interaction effects between pre and post evaluation were found in different variables, such as emotional awareness, social competences, life and well-being competences and the global score of emotional competences. According to our results, students decreased their anxiety levels after intervention, in a significant way. Also, it was observed that higher levels of emotional competencies are directly related to lower levels of violence in post evaluation. All in all, interventions, like the one described in the present article, may be beneficial and show that the improvement of the management of emotions may be a good solution to prevent violent behaviors in school.

Published: June 2024

Heterogeneous catalyst developed from antelope bones and African oil bean seed pod was used for the production of biodiesel from African oil bean seed oil (AOBSO) characterized by 2.22% free fatty acid (FFA) via transesterification reaction. Characterization showed that the catalyst had high surface area (40.65m2 /g) and large pore diameter (50.85 ?) with CaO being its main constituent. Four independent process variables were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The optimization result revealed that a maximum biodiesel yield of 93.25% was achieved using RSM at an optimum condition of temperature (60oC), time (86 minutes), methanol:oil ratio (12:1) and catalyst loading (2 wt.%). Also, using ANN modelling, an optimum yield of 95% was obtained at a temperature, time, methanol:oil ratio and catalyst loading of 57oC, 57 minutes, 7.5:1 and 1 wt.% respectively. The result shows that ANN was better tool at modelling the process because of its higher R2 value and lower RMSE value. Also, the high yield of biodiesel obtained showed that African oil bean seed oil (AOBSO) which is a low-cost feedstock have the potential to be used for biodiesel production.
Comparative Physico-Chemical Properties of Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) from Dracaena arborea Stems Processed by Acid and Alkali Hydrolysis
Authors: Ordu J. I. , Oraeluno J. N.
Published: June 2024

Cellulose, an abundant renewable biodegradable polymer, is often recognized as a potential feedstock for chemical productions with its versatility being extended as a useful structural and functional material for pharmaceutical and industrial applications. It is a straight chain polymer constituent in cell walls of most plants consisting of D-glucose units devoid of coiling or branching. Three basic types of cellulose existing in nature are alpha (?), beta (?), and gamma (?). Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), which occurs in the form of purified and partially depolymerized ?-cellulose from plants such as D. arborea stem, was derived by severe alkaline and acid hydrolysis. The MCC derived was of the percentage yield, 54.3 and 61.05%, and pH of 7.80 and 6.80 respectively, from the two hydrolytic pathways. Physico-technical analysis resulted in values similar to those recommended in the official monograph. Proximate principles of the extracted MCC depicted similar percentage fiber, lipid and protein content, as 65.78%, 0.6 and 0.4% respectively. Elemental analysis also showed similar composition of sodium and iron content as 41% and 35% respectively with absence of lead and other deleterious materials. FTIR analysis suggested the presence of carbonyl groups, 6- membered cyclic ring (aromatic structure) with ortho and meta - OH substitution and long aliphatic chains. Micromeritic analysis of the MCC gave average particle size of 112.46µm, coefficient of curvature (Cc) and coefficient of uniformity (Cu) as 1.14 and 1.23 for acid hydrolysed and average particle size of 358µm, Cc (1.003) and Cu (1.204) for alkaline hydrolysed. The x-ray diffraction study gave a percentage crystallinity index (CI) of 9.09 at 2q = 22 and 2q = 34 especially for alkaline hydrolysed although that of the acid hydrolysed was not determined but the percentage CI was suspected to be higher based on the particle size index.

Published: June 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted many LGBTQ+ college students, who already experience minority stressors. In particular, pandemic-related restrictions may have increased stress in LGBTQ+ students’ romantic relationships, particularly for non-cohabiting LGBTQ+ couples. To understand LGBTQ+ students’ romantic relationship experiences at the start of the pandemic, when pandemic-related restrictions decreased opportunity for face-to-face interaction, we considered relationship experiences (relationship dissolution, in-person and virtual interactions, and changes in sexual behavior) in a sample of LGBTQ+ college students (N = 444; 36.49% non-cohabiting) in the U.S. Participants completed an online survey during April and May, 2020, while their university was still in session. Findings indicated that relationship dissolution due to the pandemic was relatively rare. Roughly half of non-cohabiting students saw their partner in person and the majority who did considered their partner an exception to social distancing. Of students who saw their partner in person, a majority engaged in entertainment activities. Non-cohabiting students were more likely to experience decreased frequency in multiple sexual behaviors with their romantic partners compared to cohabiting students. Overall, results highlight the relationship experiences of non-cohabiting LGBTQ+ students early in the pandemic, and showcase how students continued to find ways to connect with their partner despite pandemic-related restrictions.

Indonesia is among the top 20 most religious countries, with religiosity levels between 80% and 90%. Despite this, religious-motivated terror threats remain common, negatively affecting both victims and society. Terrorists often use religious justifications for their actions, whereas others find that their faith and charitable acts enhance their happiness and well-being. This study aims to investigate the influence of religiosity on subjective well-being. Using a quantitative method, the study involved 208 residents of Tropodo Village aged over 17. It employed two instruments: The Modified BBC Subjective Well-Being Scale (BBC-SWB) and The Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS). Simple regression analysis showed a significant influence of religiosity on subjective well-being (p-value < 0.001). The R Square value of 0.161 indicates that religiosity accounts for 16.1% of the variance in subjective well-being.
Transfer Learning with Convolutional Neural Network-Based Models for Skin Cancer Classification
Authors: Lin Ryan , Ghanta Sindhu
Published: June 2024

Skin cancer is a common and potentially deadly form of cancer. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. If caught early, it can often be treated with minimal surgical intervention and a high likelihood of full recovery. However, diagnosis using current methods requires a physician, is time-consuming, and is expensive. This study’s purpose was to develop an automated approach for early detection for skin cancer. We hypothesized that convolutional neural network-based models using transfer learning could accurately differentiate between benign and malignant moles using natural images of human skin. To test this hypothesis, we developed a skin cancer detection system using four types of deep learning model architectures MobileNetV2, ResNet50V2, EfficientNetV2B0, and VGG16. We tested our models with a publicly available dataset from International Skin Imaging Collaboration. Through training, evaluation, and hyper-parameter tuning across four different models, the best-performing model, VGG16, achieved an Area Under the Curve (AUC) score of 0.95 and a test accuracy of 84.7%. We deployed the model as a publicly available service using Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface (REST API). Skin images can be submitted to the API endpoint for skin cancer prediction. Our findings suggest that deep learning models can play a vital role in accessible and automated skin cancer screening, empowering healthcare professionals to make informed decisions and potentially improving outcomes for patients with limited access to healthcare resources.

Génesis y operativización de los Fondos del Mecanismo de Recuperación y Resiliencia (MRR) en España
Authors: Niño Pérez Ignacio
Published: June 2024

La aprobación, por las instituciones comunitarias, del paquete financiero Next Generation EU, como mecanismo de respuesta a la crisis derivada de la pandemia del COVID 19, puede considerase un hito en el proceso de construcción comunitaria, tanto porque corrigió errores anteriores (como los derivados de la ineducada respuesta a la crisis financiera comenzada en 2008), como por el hecho de constituirse como reacción solidaria y mancomunada del conjunto de la Unión. De ese paquete financiero surge el Mecanismo de Recuperación y Resiliencia (MRR), que en España tomó forma como «Plan de Recuperación Transformación y Resiliencia» (PRTR). Este, aprobado definitivamente el 13 de julio de 2021, se implementará hasta el año 2026 y supone el mayor instrumento de ayuda financiera nunca recibido por nuestro país y, por ello, una oportunidad histórica para recuperar la senda de crecimiento y poner las bases de una economía sostenible y resiliente. El presente artículo pretende hacer un recorrido completo por todos y cada uno de los pasos dados a lo largo de este proceso de lanzamiento del MRR y de aprobación y ejecución del PRTR, hasta el momento actual. Las lecturas que se saquen de este recorrido serán de enorme utilidad para la adaptación o creación de nuevos instrumentos de ayuda que, sin lugar a dudas, la Unión Europea deberá poner en marcha más allá del año 2026, cuando se extinga Next Generation EU, pero, para Europa, el reto de adaptarse a una economía y a un entorno desafiante continúe siendo una prioridad acuciante.

Longstanding Duality
Authors: Javadinejad Arash
Published: June 2024

The relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union has always been tumultuous and problematic, and European integration has always been a controversial topic in the UK’s contemporary politics. However, current research on the Brexit referendum's news discourse hardly addresses this topic directly. Therefore, this paper analyses the discursive construction of the UK versus the EU during the campaign coverage of the Brexit referendum in major British broadsheets. To do so, a corpus of four major British broadsheets along ideological lines (left-right) and Brexit stance (Leave-Remain) was analysed by applying a mixed method approach of Corpus Assisted Discourse Studies (Discursive News Values Analysis along with some Corpus Linguistic tools and techniques). The way news values were adopted in the campaign coverage of the British broadsheets shows a certain continuation of historical discourses around the relationship of the entities. The results show that news values during the campaign coverage were adopted by the pro-leave outlets to construct a highly negative and elite-associated image of the EU in contrast to the UK, while the pro-remain broadsheets mostly focused on a limited, practical and economic argument in favour of the EU, maintaining and highlighting the importance of UK independence.
