Authors: Valinejad Seyed Vali , Omidi Mahnaz , Taheri Kalani Abdolhossein
Published: August 2023

Background: Sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise cause cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome. Decreased movement in recent decades has caused cardiovascular diseases. Methods: In this research, 35 male Wistar rats weighing 220 ± 20 g were divided into 5 groups (seven rats in each group) by a simple random method. The first and second experimental groups were given 100 grams per liter of fructose with water for 6 weeks, and the third experimental group received this for 14 weeks. The training group performed the interval training protocol on the treadmill for eight weeks and 5 days a week. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the groups. Results: The use of the fructose diet for 6 weeks and 14 weeks caused metabolic syndrome in male Wistar rats. Induction of metabolic syndrome increased the plasma levels of PTX3, VACM-1, and CRP at the end of 6 weeks (P = 0.001, P = 0.018, and P = 0.004, respectively) and the fourteenth week (P = 0.001, P = 0.001, and P = 0.001, respectively). Eight weeks of interval training significantly reduced PTX3, VACM-1, and CRP (P = 0.034, P = 0.027 and P = 0.021, respectively). Conclusions: The fructose diet caused metabolic syndrome and a significant increase in inflammatory markers in rats, and high-intensity interval training significantly reduced inflammatory factors in them.
Navigating the Labyrith of De-sign
Authors: Seif Farouk Y. ,   Semiotic Society of America
Published: August 2023

Navigating the multicursal pattern of labyrinths is at the core of De-sign (the fusion of design and signs). Due to the ephemerality of de-sign situations and the infinite possibility of outcomes, the navigational trajectory, while intentional, is ambiguous and labyrinthine. Intentionality entices us to engage in the process of creating that which-is-yet-to-become—not deliberately looking for those that are already existent as ontic things but engaging in a process that allows qualities to emerge unexpectedly. Considering the immateriality of intentionality and its indeterminate outcomes, the process of navigating through the labyrinth of De-sign should not be perceived as a set of predetermined activities aiming at an expected result or thing. Navigating through unknown territories for the purpose of seeking qualitatively desired outcomes is the effective, nonlinear, reiterative de-sign process, which is constantly adjusted pragmatically by feedback and feedforward loops in order for the emergent outcome to become compatible with intentionality.
Hazony, Traditional Conservatism, and the Problem of History
Authors: Frohnen Bruce P. ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: August 2023

Yoram Hazony’s recent book, Conservatism: A Rediscovery, is the closest one gets to a political theory of national conservatism. Hazony recognizes many of the same political goods that traditional conservatives and Catholic thinkers do. However, Hazony’s particular understanding of nationalism undermines these goods by advocating for a centralized state at the expense of healthy regionalism. Hazony overlooks the contribution made by the Catholic Church to restraining modern executive power.
National Conservatism, Fusionism, and the Legacy of the American Founding
Authors: Wheatland Casey J. ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: August 2023

Opposing conservative camps often claim the American Founding as their own. This leads to confusion amongst conservatives: What exactly does the American Founding mean for today’s politics? This article examines this question by focusing on the policy consensus of the Founders on the issues of foreign policy, trade, and immigration, three issues that currently divide the conservative movement. National conservatives are far closer than their opponents to early American policy on these issues.
Economic Challenges for Africa in Light of Benedict XVI’s Exhortation Africae Munus
Authors: Bębnowski Damian ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: August 2023

The aim of the paper is to identify the economic component of Pope Benedict XVI’s Africae Munus exhortation of 2011, and then to relate his reflection to selected elements of contemporary economic thought. This will be done through a critical analysis of the text combined with a discussion of its diagnosis of the most important economic challenges for Africa and proposals for action in this field. The Pope, listening to the voice of the Second African Synod of 2009, treats the continent in a subjective manner, focusing on the tasks of the Church and local authorities and communities. In doing so, he appeals to the international community to respect the sovereignty of the continent and its specificity, and to beware of ideological pressures. The economic problems addressed in the document are shown from an integral perspective, having its source in Catholic social teaching.
Martin Van Buren, National Parties, and the Return of the Working Man’s Guilds
Authors: Loseke Ezekiel ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: August 2023

Catholic social teaching prescribes decentralized politics and protections for workers, once traditionally provided by associations such as medieval workers’ guilds. The animating principle behind this idea is subsidiarity. This article considers the political actions of Martin Van Buren, the eighth president of the United States (1837–1841), which resulted in the creation of the two-party system now used in America. Van Buren was not Catholic, and his actions were motivated by a desire to prevent the rise of oligarchy in American. Nevertheless, by providing a careful analysis of the term “subsidiarity” and the actions of Van Buren, the author concludes Van Buren’s political actions were a very good illustration Catholic social teaching in action, and, by extension, how deeply (and unwittingly!) the United States has been influenced by Catholic precepts.
Reparations for Truth
Authors: Roberts Brett G. ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: August 2023

There is much bad feeling, both real and cultivated, circulating these days between peoples of European decent, and peoples of Native American (both North and South America) descent, especially with regard to recent discoveries of historical events which occurred at schools run by American and Canadian authorities, as well as by the Catholic Church. Such scandals have hampered ongoing reconciliation efforts, and led to accusations of the existence of a concerted program of abuse and subjugation on the part of the Catholic Church. This article explores the issue, by way of a careful examination of the history of natural law thinking, as well as the formal statements of the popes regarding the actions of Europeans in the New World. While not glossing over historical misdeeds, it concluded that papal statements, articulated in the natural law tradition, were consistent in their condemnation of slavery and misuse of native peoples. They were also, sadly, ignored. The author concludes that a better understanding of natural law ideas is needed, both to understand the past, as well as to provide a method of reconciliation and moving forward, for the future.
How the Light of Christ Illuminates the Deeper Reality behind the Social Issues that Plague Our Age
Authors: Withers Brent ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: August 2023

As scholars and academics, members of the Society of Catholic Social Scientists are not immune to the problem of sometimes overlooking our Catholic focus in our analyses of the social events and problems of the day. This article, whose author has a background in psychology and mental health care services, seeks to challenge us on that point. Without denigrating the incredible contributions natural science has made to human life, particular the field of health care, the article reminds us that many human problems stem from supernatural causes, such as sin, and require divine, rather than human solutions. The article gore on to present some speculations about how things will be during two periods of future history—the time of the antichrist and the era of peace—and concludes by reminding us of some of the subtle but significant things that have happened in the field of faith-based healing of late.

Dobbs, History and Tradition, and Substantive Due Process
Authors: Devaney Joseph S. ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: August 2023

Another problematic aspect of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson has to do with the legal principle of substantive due process, deriving from the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. This article provided an in-depth examination of the principle of due process, and demonstrates how the Court’s decision in Dobbs winds up restricting that principle, and thus may not provide the strongest legal ground on which to restrict abortion. Instead, the article concluded that interpreting the due process clause according to its original public meaning would resolve a number of the problems associated with the substantive due process doctrine, affecting other matters beyond that of abortion.

Public speaking is a skill that absolutely must be mastered by everyone from various professions, including leaders. A public speaker must learn, understand, and apply the methods and techniques of pushing the right material according to the characteristics of the audience invited and the material to be delivered. The biggest obstacle faced actually comes from the public speaker himself, such as fear, fear, feelings of shame, lack of confidence, and lack of discipline. This qualitative research aims to overcome the public speaking obstacles faced by RT administrators in RW.02 Bambu Apus and to help provide solutions to overcome these obstacles. The results of the research revealed that anxiety is an obstacle that always arises when appearing to speak in public, especially if the event is attended by important people or government officials at a higher level. This anxiety eventually creates other obstacles, such as being assertive, hands feeling cold, shaking, not focusing on the material, and being at a loss for words. Practices that are carried out continuously and consistently, as well as creativity in conveying material are the keys to success in public speaking.

Published: August 2023

We present a preliminary discussion about cauliflory, sexual dimorphism and biogeographic patterns in Drypetes Vahl (Putranjivaceae Endl.), focused on Africa. We also present a taxonomic treatment for two new species of cauliflorous trees of this genus from the rainforests of western Central Africa, one endemic to Gabon and known from six gatherings, D. aphanes Quintanar, D.J.Harris & Barberá sp. nov., and the other distributed in Gabon and the Republic of the Congo, D. cauta D.J.Harris, Barberá & Quintanar sp. nov., also known from another six gatherings. They are presented along with D. gabonensis Pierre ex Hutch., known from 25 gatherings made throughout western Central Africa, a species with markedly dimorphic flowers between sexes compared to the rest of the species in the genus. Specimens of these two new species have been confused with D. gabonensis due to some morphological resemblances. This treatment includes the detailed descriptions of these three species, the typification of their names, a comparative table summarizing their main morphological differences, an identification key, an illustration and information about their habitat and distribution. A provisional IUCN Red List assessment shows that D. gabonensis and D. cauta sp. nov. are ‘Vulnerable’ species, and D. aphanes sp. nov. is ‘Endangered’. After the publication of these new species, Drypetes consists of 86 species in continental Africa and the Malagasy Region and 219 species for the whole world.
Discovering online Chinese consumers’ impulse buying in live streaming by the theory of planned behavior
Authors: Li Lifu , Kang Kyeong
Published: August 2023

The study explores online consumers’ impulse buying intentions and behaviors on live streaming platforms. Unlike traditional shopping modes, the development of real-time video streaming provides online consumers with a distinct approach to interacting with live streamers and browsing online products in real-time, potentially causing their impulse buying intentions. To understand online consumers’ impulse buying intentions and behaviors, the paper establishes the research model based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model and analyses influencing factors from attitude, subject norm and perceived control aspects. Through the data analysis based on the partial least squares path modelling and variance-based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), the research results show that, three factors positively affect online consumers’ impulse buying intentions and lead to their final behaviors. Meanwhile, control variables, including gender, age, and income level, demonstrate insignificant effects across the model. Unlike existing literature, the current study displays the distinct features of live streaming platforms and discovers online consumers’ impulse buying intention based on the TPB model. The results are helpful for related scholars and departments to pay more attention to the live shopping environment and understand online consumers’ impulse buying issues.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the extent of community involvement in the general elections of 2019-2024 using the perspective of fiqh siyasah. This study was conducted in Nagari Tiku Selatan, Agam Regency. The main objective of this research is to understand the factors influencing voter participation in the context of general elections and the extent to which the principles of fiqh siyasah play a role in this process. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive method as the primary data collection and analysis approach. Data were obtained through documents, observations, and interviews selected representatively from the community of Nagari Tiku Selatan. The results of the research indicate that there are contributing factors to the low level of participation in general elections in Nagari Tiku Selatan. These factors include economic aspects, employment situations, and the level of community awareness. On the other hand, this research also reveals the relevance of the principles of fiqh siyasah, particularly the principle of consultation or "shura," in the context of political participation in Islam. However, the passive attitudes and actions of the community in general elections are considered inconsistent with Islamic teachings that encourage participation in choosing leaders. This research provides valuable insights into community participation in general elections and emphasizes the importance of understanding the factors influencing political participation. The implications of this research can be used as a basis for designing more effective strategies to enhance community participation in future election processes.

Background: Dermatological conditions are commonly associated with low mortality rates, but they significantly contribute to morbidity globally. The burden of certain common skin diseases is remarkably higher among adolescents, and associated with psychosocial and physical impacts. This study was aimed at assessing the knowledge, attitude, and perception of common skin diseases among secondary school students in Anaocha. Methodology: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study among 395 secondary school students in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra state using a multistage stratified sampling technique with an interviewer-administered, semi-structured questionnaire. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 25. Results: There were 178 (45.1%) males and 217 (54.9%) females with an average age of 14.27 years ± 1.52. The respondents’ knowledge of acne, tinea capitis, and scabies was found to have an overall score of 43.29% ± 13.26. 78.2% of respondents showed a strong perception of common skin health challenges, and 84.3% showed a decisive attitude toward them. The level of knowledge was significantly associated with the student’s academic class and gender. Conclusion: Overall knowledge of common skin conditions was poor and there was a high rate of misconceptions along with the tendency for self-medication. Though most respondents showed a decisive attitude towards these conditions, there is a high potential for neglect of care for skin diseases in general including sinister ones. Therefore, health education on common skin conditions should be intensified within all secondary schools in Anambra state to improve the knowledge of students on these important conditions.
