Eight steps to facilitating more equitable education in undergraduate sciences
Authors: Lübeck Gintarė , Seery Michael K. , Ryan Barry J.
Published: October 2022

Pedagogical practices can influence students’ confidence and ability beliefs and affect their ambition to persevere in science. Given the continuing need to diversify science and retain students in scientific programmes, science education must be tailored to cater to the needs of varied student groups. Since early experience in university programmes can be decisive in determining students’ further academic and professional choices, pedagogies employed in undergraduate science courses can be particularly influential in supporting science careers. Undergraduate science instructors are therefore encouraged to consider their approaches to teaching and learning from a variety of perspectives that could help empower students from under-represented groups.

Metformin is accepted as a first-line drug for the therapy of Type 2 diabetes (T2D), while its mechanism is still controversial. In the present study, by taking advantage of mouse model of high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced obesity and primary mouse hepatocytes (PMHCs) as well as human hepatocyte L02 cell line, we aimed to investigate the involvement of SIRTs during the application of metformin for the therapy of T2D. Our data evidenced that during HFD-induced obesity, there was elevation of nucleus protein acetylation. Analysis of liver tissue showed that among all SIRT members, SIRT6 expression was significantly down-regulated during HFD feeding, which was sustained to regular level with metformin administration. Our result also showed that SIRT6 suppressed intracellular oxidative stress upon FAs stimulation in PMHCs and L02 cells. Mechanistically, SIRT6, but not SIRT1 promoted PGC-1α expression. We further prove that ENDOG is downstream of PGC-1α. In addition, we evidenced that ENDOG protects hepatocytes from lipid-induced oxidative stress, and down-regulation of Endog blunted the protective role of metformin in defending against FAs-induced oxidative stress. Our study established a novel mechanism of metformin in counteracting lipid-induced hepatic injury via activating SIRT6/PGC-1α/ENDOG signaling, thus providing novel targets of metformin in the therapy of T2D.
Predicting network flows from speeds using open data and transfer learning
Authors: Mahajan Vishal , Cantelmo Guido , Rothfeld Raoul , Antoniou Constantinos
Published: October 2022

Traffic flow/volume data are commonly used to calibrate and validate traffic simulation models. However, these data are generally obtained from stationary sensors (e.g. loop detectors), which are expensive to install and maintain and cover a small number of locations in the transport network. On the other hand, Floating Car Data (FCD) are readily available at the network level, usually from a sample of vehicles. We present an indirect traffic flow estimation approach using transfer learning to address the traffic flow data scarcity and model generalization across cities. Using two cities (Paris and Madrid) as study areas, we demonstrate the indirect estimation using only exogenous features for flow prediction, mirroring limited predictive features without past link flows. Subsequently, we use the model pre‐trained on data from Paris city and test on data from Madrid city, and investigate the scenarios for successful transfer learning. Overall, the training set must adequately capture the flow‐speed relationship for successful indirect flow estimation. Transfer learning is beneficial when the data for the target task is minimal, in which case transferred models outperform newly trained models from scratch. Using real‐world and publicly available data, our approach and models can help scale a smaller traffic flow dataset to a larger sample across cities.
The effect of shock wave properties on the release timings of solar energetic particles
Authors: Kouloumvakos A. , Vainio R. , Gieseler J. , Price D. J.
Published: October 2022

Context. Fast and wide coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and CME-driven shock waves are capable of accelerating solar energetic particles (SEPs) and releasing them in very distant locations in the solar corona and near-Sun interplanetary space. SEP events have a variety of characteristics in their release times and particle anisotropies. In some events, specifics of the SEP release times are thought to be difficult to reconcile with the scenario that a propagating shock wave is responsible for the SEP release.

Aims. Despite the apparent difficulties posed by the shock scenario, many studies have not considered the properties of the propagating shock waves when making a connection with SEP release. This could probably resolve some of the issues and would help us to delve into and understand more important issues such as the effect of the shock acceleration efficiency on the observed characteristics of the SEP timings and the role of particle transport. This study aims to approach these issues from the shock wave perspective and elucidate some of these aspects.

Methods. We constructed a simple 2D geometrical model to describe the propagation and longitudinal extension of a disturbance. We used this model to examine the longitudinal extension of the wave front from the eruption site as a function of time, to calculate the connection times as a function of the longitudinal separation angle, and to determine the shock parameters at any connection point. We examined how the kinematic and geometric properties of the disturbance could affect the timings of the SEP releases at different heliolongitudes.

Results. We show that the extension of a wave close to the solar surface may not always indicate when a magnetic connection is established for the first time. The first connection times depend on both the kinematics and geometry of the propagating wave. A shock-related SEP release process can produce a large event-to-event variation in the relationship between the connection and release times and the separation angle to the eruption site. The evolution of the shock geometry and shock strength at the field lines connected to an observer are important parameters for the observed characteristic of the release times.

A Collocation Analysis of ‘energy’ in Brown Family Corpus
Authors: Prihantoro
Published: October 2022

I here argue that Corpus Linguistic (CL) investigations can show evidence that renewable energy has become increasingly important in the last 20 years as shown in the Brown Family corpus, a linguistic database of both British and American English whose diachronic data span from 1930s to 2000s. I use collocation analysis, a well-known CL technique, to discover collocates (accompanying words) that significantly associate with energy. The significance is statistically calculated using Log Likelihood (LL). No content word is found up to 1930s data. Some content words related to the categorization of energy are found in 1960s data. In 1990s data renewable is within top-3. In 2006 data, renewable is found to rank first, showing a very strong significance with energy.

Authors: Sulistiyono Singgih Tri , Rochwulaningsih Yety , Masruroh Noor Naelil , Zainol Salina , Barus Saparudin
Published: October 2022

This paper departs from the problem of the conspiracy between capitalism and imperialism and modern colonialism which has become a powerful force to exploit the environment in order to meet the demands of industrialization and modernization of society in capitalist countries. Some research questions that will be answered in this paper are why the East Sumatra region is a frontier area that is contested by the capitalists to expand their capital in this region? How did the various colonial powers compete for control of this region? How was the expansion of the plantation industry during the late Dutch colonial period? The results of the study show that the East Sumatra region is a potential area for the plantation industry (tobacco, rubber, tea, etc.). It is not surprising that the main colonial powers in Southeast Asia tried to control this region, especially the Netherlands and England. Various approaches were taken to negotiate with local authorities to obtain the right to control this area. Finally, from the second half of the 19th century until the end of the colonial government in Indonesia, the plantation industry in this region developed remarkably.

Authors: El Maangar Asmae , Lopian Tobias , Dourdain Sandrine , Kunz Werner , Zemb Thomas
Published: October 2022

Here we present a series of complete phase prisms for water, an organic diluent and di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (HDEHP), one of the most widely used double-branched lipophilic surfactants in hydrometallurgy. Partial or total titration with sodium hydroxide evidence that the mole fraction of the counter-cation “Z” is the variable that controls the packing and spontaneous curvature of the curved film formed by this extractant. Penetrating solvents such as toluene and iso-octane and the non-penetrating solvent dodecane as well as common hydrotropes acting as co-solvents, are considered. The three classical cuts of the phase prism are shown. The regions for which liquid–liquid extraction is possible are determined, as well as the location of the liquid crystals at the origin of the often observed third-phase formation. It is shown that profoundly different trends are obtained when replacing the common solvents currently used in hydrometallurgical processes with hydrotropes.

The results reveal that 297 papers focus on Chinese college students’ views on marriage and reproduction mainly by using research methods including questionnaires, interviews, literature review, data analysis, etc. However, there are still deficiencies in defining views on marriage and reproduction and testing the reliability and validity of questionnaires. A majority of Japanese studies are empirical studies, with research on influencing factors oriented toward family, while few studies involve other perspectives and no study is conducted on the education of marriage and child-rearing.
The Rise of Nationalist Populist Leaders and Nuclear Order
Authors: Shen Yang
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of the rise of nationalist-populist leaders in nuclear-armed states on the nuclear order and whether they may enhance the probability of nuclear war. Trump and Putin will serve as case examples in this paper, as the United States and Russia are the world’s two most powerful nuclear-armed states. Trump is an illustration of how social media may affect nuclear order. His comments on social media about nuclear weapons are unreliable and do not reflect the national attitude. Putin used nuclear threats to legitimise his leadership and protect Russia’s position as a powerful nation, rather than to prepare for an actual nuclear war, according to an analysis of his actions. Thus, this essay argues that nationalist populists may weaken nuclear order but may not raise the risk of trigger a nuclear war. Misperceptions among governments could be the direct cause of the danger of nuclear war rather than the rise of nationalist populist leaders.

Authors: Chi Hanzhe , Liu Renhao , Pan Jingye
Published: October 2022

Up to now, in order to satisfy the increasingly abundant needs of users, there have been many kinds of social media applications, some of which are targeted at specific gender groups. Xiaohongshu and Hupu are two social media platforms in China, which are dominated by female and male users respectively over the past decade. Apart from the difference in function and form, the most important difference between the two platforms is the gender difference of the target audience, which is obvious. This article will take these two social platforms as examples and adopts quantitative research method to ask questions about users’ behaviours through questionnaire survey, so as to understand users’ behaviours when gender ratio is imbalanced. Research shows that users have a universal understanding of gender differences on the platform, and most of them are close to the dominant gender group in user behaviour. In the background of new media, if the community structure is not changed, social platforms with large gender differences among users will regularly deepen gender stereotypes, and users’ sense of belonging will also fluctuate.

This paper analyses the Disney animated film Pocahontas through the lens of Said’s Orientalism and Spivak’s feminism in post-colonial theory. The film represents the interaction of power between the coloniser and the colonised people, a rebellion against the Oriental imaginary represented by the Third World people of Pocahontas. As the quintessential representative of the Indian people, such resistance and challenge is of great significance to the forced silence of the Third World people for reflection and self-reconstruction.

Authors: Wang Shuning
Published: October 2022

With the advent of the era of self-media, the Internet has become the most important medium for citizens to share information and express their opinions. The continuous spread and fermentation of any social developments may form online public opinion, which may have a certain guiding effect on major social issues. Therefore, governments at all levels deepen online governance and attach importance to early warning and detection of online public opinion. A comprehensive central-local online public opinion response system needs to be built urgently. Based on the Life cycle theory, the main current situation of online public opinion at present is analyzed through the case study method and the comparative research method. It is possible to identify and summarize the shortcomings of government countermeasures for online public opinion in the era of self-media, such as the failure of early warning and monitoring mechanisms of local governments, the lack of coherence between central and local government departments and the lack of administrative work in the aftermath. Based on this, I attempt to construct an optimal path for government countermeasures for online public opinion, actively implement the central government’s emphasis on public opinion governance at all levels and establish a perfect online public opinion response mechanism.
The Affiliation between Feminist Intellectual Paradigms in IPE and Post-positivism
Authors: Xue Zhiying
Published: October 2022

The development of feminist IPE theory has been profoundly influenced by new schools of thought that have emerged since the Second World War, and in turn has had an impact on the world’s political economy. The critique of positivism in particular has led to an increased emphasis on post-positivist theory, and this paper argues that post-positivist ideas are consistent with the developmental lineage of feminist IPE and have guided feminist IPE. Feminist theory represents a new research path that has added a gender perspective to the field of IPE. Feminist theory has developed over the course of a complex and long process. In the sphere of IPE, feminist theory has addressed issues ranging from a critique of the absence of female perspectives on gender inequality in international relations to an attempt to bring gender issues into the global sphere more broadly. Whether from an intellectual paradigm or epistemological perspective, experience and integration have been longstanding themes in feminism. This article examines the intimate links between feminist IPE theory and post-positivist theory, analyses the content of feminism’s existing paradigms and processes of knowledge construction, and explores the development , current status and limitations of feminist IPE theory.

Authors: Guo Zicheng
Published: October 2022

Based on the panel data of 34 prefecture-level cities in the HuaiHe River Basin from 2010 to 2019, the impact of FDI on the industrial transformation and upgrading of the Huaihe River Basin was analyzed by using the spatial Dubin model. The study found that FDI can effectively promote the industrial transformation and upgrading of local cities in the HuaiHe River Basin, and has a significant positive spatial spillover effect, which can not only promote the development of local industries, but also promote the industrial transformation and upgrading of neighboring areas; Education investment and technological innovation inhibit industrial upgrading in the Huaihe River Basin; The impact of regional openness on industrial transformation and upgrading is not significant. Therefore, the formulation of FDI policies needs to fully consider regional interactions and their spillover impacts in geographical space, and steadily implement the strategy of the Huaihe River Ecological and Economic Belt.

The horror of communication
Authors: Jutel Olivier
Published: October 2022

This article is concerned with the Lacanian subject of cyberwar and how the Real of network communication in the post-Trump era is experienced as horror. The centrality of the technological sublime and practices of self-divination to the American political imaginary give this moment of the Real a properly cosmic and spiritual scale. What returns are techno-horrors of intersubjective dread and the capitalist Real of the network in which we are fragmented and manipulated by occulted forces. The generalization of cyberwar shapes the liberal/populist entanglement between the hysteria of the disinformation expert and the perversion of the QAnon digital soldier.
