Authors: Hasmin Nor Akhmal , Zainol Zinatul Ashiqin , Azizun Najwa , Abd Kadir Nur Hafidah
Published: March 2023

The labelling of food products that contain new technologies have been carried out to ensure that consumers are well informed on the hazards and uncertainty of the technologies incorporated for food production. Although food labelling is important, the implementation of mandatory labelling measures for nanofood within the domestic legislation is only possible if it is aligned with the regulations of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). This study examines the mandatory labelling measure for nanofood that would be permissible under the WTO agreements, i.e. under the Technical Barriers to Trade Agreement and the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement. This study adopted a doctrinal approach and content analysis that examine the relevant legal provisions in the WTO agreements, proceedings conducted by the WTO, and other documents on nanofood labelling. The findings suggest that the labelling measure amounts to unnecessary barriers to international trade. Moreover, mandatory labelling is not an international labelling standard, while the practice of mandatory labelling was found to be trade restrictive. Some recommendations were presented in this study that provide valuable insights on the implementation of mandatory labelling for nanofood if countries decide to introduce this measures into their food information system.
THE U.S INACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE: REALISM AND ITS INTERPRETATIONS
Authors: Unny Anu
Published: March 2023

President Donal Trump announced the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 Paris Agreement, and stated that the withdrawal was mainly to protect its national interests. The U.S. economic ambitions, the China factor and the intricacies of U.S domestic politics had played a major role in deciding the U.S. position on the Paris Agreement and the Kyoto Protocol of 1997. There are some who are sceptical on whether the Paris Agreement would successfully achieve its expected outcomes in the absence of U.S. participation. The objective of this study is to examine the factors that have discouraged the U.S. to partake in the international climate change agreements. An analytical framework was employed for this study that examines the insights and conceptions from the textual data, based on realism. The study concludes that the U.S. outlook on climate change had more or less adhered to the realist stance, even though realism is considered a theoretical approach with significant drawbacks, particularly when dealing with issues of climate change. Nonetheless, this study also asserts that there is a need for deeper engagement between the U.S. and the participants of the Paris Agreement to effectively tackle the issues of climate change at this moment.
EXPLORING THE STRATEGIES FOR BUILDING RESILIENCE TO POVERTY IN BAUCHI STATE, NIGERIA
Authors: Musa Umar Farouk , Suleiman Ibrahim
Published: March 2023

The challenges of poverty and insurgency have caused problems of different dimensions in north-eastern Nigeria. Specifically, the Bauchi state had recorded 89.5 percent of Multidimensional Poverty Indicators, more than any other state in the country. The main objective of this study is to explore the strategies that could build resilience to poverty in the study area. To achieve this, a qualitative research design, via semi-structured interview and purposive sampling, were applied. Accordingly, twenty-two informants from the ministries, agencies and commissions, in addition to some selected underprivileged people, were consulted during the data collection. Consequently, the findings from the study indicate that national, state, community and individual strategies were suggested to overcome poverty and other socioeconomic challenges that are faced by the people in Northeastern Nigeria in general, and Bauchi state in particular. The views of the informants ensured that the necessary measures can be taken to address the socioeconomic challenges identified in the state. Some of the community strategies include security initiatives, collaborations with NGOs to cushion the effects of poverty in the towns and villages, and the contributions from religious and traditional institutions. Furthermore, personal empowerment, enhancing peoplesâ€™ confidence, and skills were identified as the individual strategies. Subsequently, by strengthening the federal government, states as well as security arrangements could avert the problems discovered. The expansion of poverty reduction programs, accessible educational policies, youth empowerment schemes, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and the overall development of northeastern Nigeria were suggested.
REALIZATION OF THE SPEECH ACT OF REFUSALS AMONG MALAY ESL STUDENTS
Authors: Saad Norma , Bidin Siti Jamilah , Shabdin Ahmad Affendi
Published: March 2023

Refusing to participate in an action is a negative response that might lead to a dispute and jeopardise the connection between the hearer and the speaker. To avoid the conflict that may arise when a speaker must decline a request, the speaker must offer an acceptable refusal and adjust to the position of the interlocutor as well as the circumstances of the situation. This study examined the strategies and sequence order of the strategies employed by Malay speakers of English as a second language (MSE) when they refused requests made by higher and equal status interlocutors. Twelve MSE undergraduates from a local university participated in the study. Data were collected using an open role-play which were transcribed, classified into semantic refusal strategies (Beebe et al., 1990) and categorized into the types of sequence orders of the strategies. The findings revealed that the MSE preferred indirect strategies when refusing higher and equal status interlocutors’ requests. When using direct strategies, they opted for lesser and the least degree of directness. The sequence orders of the strategies employed to refuse both interlocutors were also similar; immediate refusal and delayed refusal. However, they deferred in terms of their preference between the two types of sequence orders and the specific strategies used in the pre-refusal, head act and post-refusal.  These variations show their effort to adapt to the status of their interlocutors; higher and equal status and the given situations.  Their use of strategies at the post-refusal for both interlocutors were varied and lengthier compared to the sequence orders revealed in the previous studies. The findings reflect the participants’ effort to search for equilibrium between upholding their stance and at the same time remain respectful in the case of their employer and being concerned toward their friend. These findings provide pragmatic input which could be utilized by English language teachers to develop their students’ ability to use socially appropriate language for the situation they encounter in the Malaysian context.

The terminology and the concept of the gig economy
Authors: Huđek Ivona , Širec Karin
Published: March 2023

New business models have emerged in the late 20th century due to Internet technology (IT) development and digital transformation. One of them - known as the gig economy - represents a new business concept that stands for a market system in which individuals offer their services on a fixed-time basis to other businesses through a digital platform. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relatively new field of the gig economy and its context based on previous findings and literature. Accordingly, the concept of the gig economy is based on a triangular relationship between the individual (worker; provider), the digital intermediary of the process (online labour platform) and the end-user of the service (employer). Such a concept implies various benefits for all parties involved but also brings many challenges. The paper aims to provide a descriptive insight into the literature and findings and introduce terminology related to the gig economy concept. It also aims to discuss the nature of work within the gig economy, its current dimensions, its value creation for firms and entrepreneurship, and the issues that need to be addressed for the gig workforce and its likely future policy implications. The paper's limitations are the lack of agreement on standard definitions and national and international frameworks of the gig economy workforce, even though studies suggest that gig workers are among the fastest-growing forces in contemporary work arrangements. Therefore, the paper encourages the development of policies and programs to identify the specifics, benefits, and challenges of the gig economy and its impact on society in order to facilitate and promote this new, growing entrepreneurial category.

The phenomenon of shamanism is still running in this modern era because some people still believe it. Asking  for help from a shaman who deals with things of the occult including the act of shirk or associating partners with Allah. If shirk is done, it is a major sin in Al-Quran. One of ways  to avoid being associated with the world of the unseen is by following the method of Ruqyah Syari'yya\\\\h. This method has existed since the days of the prophet. Even the Prophet muhammad also never did ruqyah.

         To overcome this problem, I designed an illustration book that aims to share the experience of people who never do a ruqyah that can be used as a lesson to the target audience because the age of the target audience already entered the complex life such as the experience of the people ruqyah, namely in the field of work, household and so on. The book is accompanied by illustrations that represent each story that look  interesting and not boring.

Historical essays in monographs, in reviews and in the introductions of experimental works on theme of the first studies of radioprotectors are considered. It was found that such studies began to be carried out only during the development and use of atomic weapons, but not during the previous order of 40 years of radiotherapy (with the exception of the effect of hypoxia as such, and not caused by drugs). In most publications, the work of Patt H.M. et al., 1949 on the cysteine action (USA) is called as pioneer research, what is not quite right (it is only right for thiol compounds). A paper by Joseph Maisin (Belgium) in the journal ‘Acta Biologica Belgica’ which published only in 1941–1943 in the occupied Brussels, should be considered as a real milestone for animal experiments (Vol. III–IV. P. 117). In this study, referenced only in a single work (Bacq Z.M. et al., 1951), the radioprotective effect of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) was demonstrated in rodents. In the same year, the radioprotective effect of estrogens was shown in mice (Treadwelal A. DEG. et al., February 1943). A brief summary of the stages of radioprotective agents study is presented, starting from 1942 (W.M. Dale et al.; protection of the enzyme in solution) and up to the 1954, when all the main classes of radioprotectors were discovered and the corresponding mechanisms of effects were proposed.

The widespread use of sources of ionizing radiation for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes dictates the need to study the effect of intrauterine exposure on health. The search for literature sources was carried out using the MEDLINE databases in the PubMed, CyberLeninka, elibrary.ru search engine using the key words: intrauterine exposure, gene, genome, genomic instability, cytogenetics, mutations, chromosomal aberrations, gene expression. The review uses full-text literature sources in Russian and English. The literature search ended in November 2021. The paper presents a review of the literature on the state of the genome during intrauterine irradiation. The paper presents a review of the literature on the state of the genome during intrauterine irradiation. The results of a study of persons exposed to intrauterine exposure during the atomic bombing in Japan, during medical and diagnostic procedures, as well as data obtained in experimental studies on animals indicate that the main radiation-induced effects of intrauterine exposure were early death of the embryo/fetus, congenital malformations, growth and intellectual development retardation with a threshold of at least 100 mGy. Genetic disorders have been studied both in animal experiments and in individuals exposed to intrauterine exposure as a result of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, in the offspring of parents exposed to occupational exposure, as well as in medical and man-made exposure. It was shown that changes in the genome depended on the type, dose, irradiation power and the phase of intrauterine development. Most aberrations of a stable type were represented by deletions and translocations. Unstable aberrations were also detected: paired fragments, centromeric breaks, dicentrics, rings.

Authors: Kurtoğlu Ahmet
Published: March 2023

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of functional warm-up (FWU) in different musical rhythms on anaerobic performance of mentally retarded individuals from morning to evening. Fourteen (7 male, 7 female) moderately and mildly ID individuals aged 11-14 years participated in this study. In the study, participants received no music (NM), a low music phase (LMP) phase (80-90 bpm), a modarate musical rhythm phase (MMP) (130-140 bpm), and a high music phase (HMP) (170-180 bpm) with FWU applied. To determine anaerobic performance after FWU protocol. FWU and then Sargent protocol vertical jump test was performed while playing music. The same procedure was repeated in the morning (between 08:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m.) and in the evening (between 16:00 p.m.-18:00 p.m.). In the study, participants' anaerobic power level increased significantly from morning to evening as the music rhythm increased (p= .000, F=8.643). According to the post-hoch test, there was a significant difference between the NM phase in the morning (M) and the MMP-M (p= .003), the HMP-M (p= .003), the MMP in the evening (E) (p=.003), and the HMP-E (p= .001). There was no significant difference between the LMP, MMP and HMP values in the morning and the music given in the evening. According to the results of our study, the anaerobic power values of the ID individuals were higher in the evening. However, it was found that they could reach their performance level in the evening if they listened to low, moderate and high rhythm music in the morning.

This paper aimed to describe the prevalence of dental caries in Quilombola schoolchildren aged 5 to 12 years using the DEF-T (decayed, extracted and filled teeth) and DMF-T (decayed, missing and filled teeth) indices. A cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 47 schoolchildren, aged between 5 and 12 years old, of both sexes, in a municipal school located in a Quilombola community in the Tocantins state (Brazil). The participants underwent a clinical oral examination, performed by a dentist. Despite the relatively low rates (DEF-T at 5 years of 1.5 and DMF-T at 12 years of 1.24), the prevalence of caries was 78.72%, being higher in males than in females. In addition, only 5.4% of schoolchildren with some experience of caries received restorative treatment. In conclusion, the prevalence of caries in Quilombola schoolchildren aged 5 to 12 years was 78.72%, while the DEF-T/DMF-T index was 2.85 (± 2.84) for females, and 3.71 (± 3.52) for males.
Acute-on-chronic liver failure: Terminology, mechanisms and management
Authors: BR Vinay Kumar , Sarin Shiv Kumar
Published: March 2023

Acute-on-chronic liver failure is an acute deterioration of liver function manifesting as jaundice and coagulopathy with the development of ascites, with a high probability of extrahepatic organ involvement and high 28-day mortality. The pathogenesis involves extensive hepatic necrosis, which is associated with severe systemic inflammation and subsequently causes the cytokine storm, leading to portal hypertension, organ dysfunction, and organ failure. These patients have increased gut permeability, releasing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPS) in the blood, leading to hyper-immune activation and the secretion of cytokines, followed by immune paralysis, causing the development of infections and organ failure in a proportion of patients. Early detection and the institution of treatment, especially in the "Golden Window" period of 7 days, gives an opportunity for reversal of the syndrome. Scores like the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) ACLF research consortium (AARC) score, a model for end stage liver disease (MELD), and the CLIF Consortium acute-on-chronic liver failure (CLIF-C ACLF) score can help in the prediction of mortality. Treatment strategy includes treatment of acute insult. Patients should be considered for early transplant with MELD score >28, AARC score >10, high-grade hepatic encephalopathy, and in the absence of >2 organ failure or overt sepsis to improve survival of up to 80% at five years. Patients, with no option of transplant, can be treated with emerging therapies like faecal microbial transplant, plasma exchange, etc., which need further evaluation.

The COVID-19 outbreak throughout the world forced the government of Indonesia to shift academic programs into online mode. The objectives of this study are to describe the teachers' strategies for teaching narrative writing during the COVID-19 outbreak and to find out the teachers' reasons to choose the strategies. Therefore, a qualitative research design was applied and the data was gathered through semi-structured interviews and online observation. Two exemplary teachers were involved as the respondents in the present study. Data coding was conducted to analyze the data gained from those research instruments. The findings revealed that the first respondent (JY) used cooperative learning, group discussion, and translation as her strategies in teaching English narrative writing text. Meanwhile, the second respondent (RN) used guided questions, cooperative learning, and translation as her strategies for teaching English narrative text during the pandemic. The findings showed that the first respondent (JY) utilized those strategies to increase students' participation, enhance students' vocabulary mastery, and developed student writing ability. Meanwhile, the second respondent (RN) utilized the aforementioned strategies to enrich students' vocabulary mastery, and improve students sentence structure.

This research aimed to identify students’ levels and the types of motivation that they apply the most to completing their English assignments in online learning at class X in SMAN 1 Sajingan Besar in the academic year 2020-2021. The researcher conducted descriptive research and collected the data using a questionnaire given to 68 students. The first result revealed that students’ motivation for completing their English assignments in online learning was in the middle category at 70.23%. Meanwhile, the second result showed that the type of motivation students applied the most was extrinsic motivation, with 73,68%. The majority of the conditions contributing to students' extrinsic motivation were related to feeling guilty, being aware of the need to improve their English skills, and feeling proud when completing it on time. Then, the students were influenced intrinsically by their feelings of satisfaction and enjoyment. However, amotivation also occurred because of a lack of awareness and a lack of vocabulary mastery. These findings suggest that, even though extrinsic motivation was quite high, students had to have intrinsic motivation and complete their assignments with interest, enjoyment, and satisfaction. The teacher and the parents must support students harder to help them complete assignments in online learning.

Education is an aspect of life that is closely related to human life, and education is one of the pillars that plays an important role in creating quality people. This study is based on a lack of student understanding of the use of interesting media in the learning process. The purpose of this study is to develop and test the feasibility and effectiveness of a 'flashcard-based blended learning' media. The type of research is research and development using the ADDIE model. Research methods are analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. The subjects were 30 PGSD fifth semester students. Observations, tests, interviews, questionnaires, and documents are used to collect records. Data analysis techniques using product data analysis, initial data analysis, hypothesis testing, and n-gain testing. The results showed that the media "Flashcard based on blended learning" was very feasible to use with an average percentage of material expert judgment of 86.63% and 90.21% of media experts. he average score on the test went up by 72%, which is evidence that the test was measuring something important. The N-Gain calculation shows that the data is likely to be significant, which means that the average score between the pretest and posttest was different significantly. Research shows that flashcard-based learning media is a good way to learn at Khairun University. However, more research is needed to make sure the media is developed specifically for students there and that it is used in the best way possible.

This qualitative study was conducted to identify the EFL university students' perspectives on online and offline reading classes. This study involved ten English students of the seventh semester, from one of the private universities in Malang who have excellent scores in English reading classes. Using a semi-structured interview, the students were asked about problems, difficulties, advantages, and reading understanding in online and offline classes. The data were analyzed using content analysis. The investigation triangulation was performed by involving two data analysts to triangulate the data. The result found in this study are students frequently experience problems with unstable internet connections, communication difficulties with lecturers, textbook download troubles, and eyestrain from reading online content. Whereas, the advantages are students have more reading sources, have time and reading topics flexibility, and are cost-effective. Moreover, EFL university students' problems or difficulties in offline reading classes are more cost, limitation of reading time and topics, and few reading resources. While the advantages of offline reading classes are enjoyable, interactive, and communicative.

The present study used a bioenergetics modeling approach to estimate the solid and dissolved waste outputs of a Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus net-cage farm. Historical production data for 30 cages were obtained from a commercial farm in the Chavantes Reservoir, São Paulo State, Brazil. In addition, an experiment was carried out in 4 net-cages at the farm to validate this dataset and collect fish samples. A total of 32400 tilapias with an initial weight averaging 35 ± 2.73 g were equally distributed in the experimental net cages. After 210 d, the fish showed a final individual weight of ~789 ± 5.12 g. Fish growth performance was monitored, and body composition was analyzed each month. Digestibility trials of commercial diets used for juvenile stages JVI and JVII and market weight were performed. Relationships of body weight with body content data of water, protein, fat, ash, gross energy, phosphorus, and nitrogen were evaluated by regression analysis. The total digestible energy requirement and estimated residues of the fish were assessed using the factorial bioenergetics model, adapted to the growing conditions of a neotropical reservoir. The model estimated ~320 kg of total solid waste released per tonne of tilapia, including ~10 kg of solid nitrogen and ~5 kg of solid phosphorus. Approximately 3 and 47 kg of dissolved phosphorus and nitrogen, respectively, were estimated per tonne of tilapia. The bioenergetics model is a valuable and equitable method for assessing and monitoring waste outputs. It can improve the nutritional and environmental efficiency of aquaculture activities, helping producers to reduce feed costs while strengthening the environmental sustainability of aquaculture.

Exercise can improve the cardiovascular health. However, the mechanism contributing to its beneficial effect on elderly patients with myocardial infarction is obscure. 20-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to establish myocardial infarction (MI) model by permanent ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) of the heart, followed by 4-week interval exercise training on a motor-driven rodent treadmill. The cardiac function, myocardial fibrosis, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses were determined by using pressure transducer catheter, polygraph physiological data acquisition system, Masson's trichrome staining, and ELISA to evaluate the impact of post-MI exercise training on MI. Western blot were performed to detect the activation of AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling in the hearts of aged rats. Exercise training significantly improved cardiac function and reduced the cardiac fibrosis. In infarcted heart, the apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation were significantly reduced after 4-week exercise training. Mechanistically, AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway was activated in the myocardial infarction area after exercise training, which might participate in the protection of cardiac function. Exercise training improves cardiac function in MI rats through reduction of apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation, which may mediate by the activation of AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway.
State-of-the-Art Review of Synthetic Fibres as Shear Reinforcement in Concrete Elements

Published: March 2023

Shear failure is considered one of the most critical modes of failure in concrete structures, especially for those elements without shear reinforcement. In the last sixty years, the research community has shown much interest to solve this problem. In fact, since the 80's years, the use of fibres dispersed in the matrix as shear reinforcement has been explored as an alternative of traditional reinforcement. Several investigations have shown that the addition of fibres in correct proportions, enhances the shear behaviour in concrete elements with and without shear reinforcement. Most of this knowledge has been built using steel fibres. However, macro-synthetic fibres have also been introduced for structural applications in concrete. Some recent publications have reported the success of macro-synthetic fibres to be used as shear reinforcement in structural elements. Within this framework, the present paper aims to review the existing literature about the use of synthetic fibres as shear reinforcement in structural concrete elements.

La cuantía del refuerzo tradicional de barras de acero en el hormigón armado se puede reducir mediante la adición de fibras. Este tipo de hormigón, con fibras de acero, se denomina hormigón reforzado con fibras de acero (HRFA) y permite la eliminación total o parcial de la armadura ante esfuerzos cortantes. Diferentes normativas consideran la capacidad estructural de las fibras de acero, para cualquier tipo de esfuerzo, en función de valores de resistencias residuales a flexión. No parece adecuado emplear estas resistencias para dimensionar el HRFA frente a solicitaciones de cortante, por lo que se desarrolló la presente investigación y se analizaron dos HRFA, solicitados a cortante, comparándolos con su estudio teórico en relación a la teoría de corte-fricción. Las fibras de acero cosen las fisuras impidiendo se desarrollen libremente, aumentando el rozamiento entre las caras de la discontinuidad. La parte experimental desarrolló ensayos de corte directo tipo “push-off” complementados con técnica de vídeo-extensometría para obtener las variaciones de deslizamiento y abertura de fisura. Se puede indicar que, en el estado post-fisuración, las fibras son las que gobiernan el comportamiento del material y que los resultados del modelo analítico son muy similares a los hallados en la campaña experimental para deslizamientos de hasta algo más de 4 mm.
