Published: October 2023

In today’s age of globalisation, pornography addiction is on the rise in society. This phenomenon not only occurs among adults but is also contagious among teenagers due to rapid technological development. Various efforts have been made to curb this problem. However, by 2022, the problem of pornography addiction has not abated, as traffic statistics of visitors to pornography websites show increasing access by users. Pornography is forbidden and sinful in Islam because it exposes human private parts to people who do not have the right to see them and, at the same time, encourages human desires towards acts that violate Islamic laws. Islam also sees pornography as a form of disease that harms the human soul and spirit, leading people to commit sexual crimes such as extramarital sex, cybersex, rape, obscenity, and child abandonment. Therefore, this article is presented as a preliminary survey to identify the need for the development of a pornography addiction control intervention model based on the Islamic psychospiritual approach. This article uses a qualitative approach by analyzing the documents of past studies related to Islamic psychospiritual treatment to deal with this addiction issue. The study's findings revealed the need for the development of a pornography addiction control intervention model based on the Islamic psychospiritual approach to dealing with the community's physical, mental, spiritual, and moral health problems.
Next-Generation Cranial Nerve Stimulation and Neuromodulation Techniques: Potential and Clinical Applications in Parkinson’s Disease Treatment
Authors: Ozdemir Kaan
Published: October 2023

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a pervasive neurodegenerative
disorder that significantly impacts the quality of life of affected
individuals. Current treatment options such as pharmacological
interventions and deep brain stimulation have notable limitations in
their efficacy and are linked with various side effects. This review
aims to examine the potential of innovative cranial nerve stimulation
and neuromodulation techniques for treating PD. Methods: A comprehensive
literature search was conducted using relevant keywords across major
databases to identify recent advancements in cranial nerve stimulation
devices, stimulation protocols, and their clinical applications for PD.
The process aimed to collate information on emerging technologies,
including non-invasive and minimally invasive devices, offering more
targeted and personalized treatment approaches. Results: The review
highlights innovative devices and stimulation protocols showing
potential in PD treatment. The safety and efficacy of these techniques
were compared with conventional treatments based on results from
clinical trials. We analyzed the advantages and limitations of these
next-generation cranial nerve stimulation and neuromodulation
techniques, with a special focus on their potential to improve patient
outcomes and enhance quality of life. Conclusion: Next-generation
cranial nerve stimulation and neuromodulation techniques hold
substantial promise for more effective and better-tolerated PD
treatments. These innovative strategies potentially pave the way for
novel clinical applications and improved patient care. The review also
discusses translational challenges and suggests future research
directions to maximize the therapeutic potential of these promising
techniques in PD treatment.

Published: October 2023

Staphylococcus aureus is a major agent of hospital-acquired
infections. It has become one of the most important health problems in
the world due to its potential pathogenicity and growing resistance to
antimicrobial medications. The present research confirmed the presence
of the tet(M) gene and the Tn916 transposon after the detection
of tetracycline-resistant strains of S. aureus. The genetic
polymorphism of S. aureus strains was investigated by comparing
the positions of Tn916 and Shine-Dalgarno sequence. A total of 30
pathogenic strains of S. aureus were used. The strain resistance
was measured against five antibiotics, including tetracycline, by using
antibiotic discs. The presence of the tet(M) gene and Tn916
transposon was studied in all strains by the PCR technique. Sequence
sizes between these genetic elements were also tested with specific
primers of the Tn916 transposon and Shine-Dalgarno sequences. The size
of the produced bands was determined. Then, the presence and absence of
the bands were converted to a 0-1 binary matrix, and the phylogenic tree
of these strains was drawn and clustered in the Past3 software package.
All studied strains of S. aureus were resistant to tetracycline
and had the tet(M) gene and the Tn916 transposon. The
investigation of the distances between Tn916 and Shine-Dalgarno
sequences revealed different band patterns among these strains. The
phylogenetic clustering based on the PCR band pattern classified the
strains that were entirely similar in terms of all antibiogram tests,
tet(M), and Tn916 transposon presence into seven separate
clusters, reflecting the genetic diversity and polymorphism of these
strains. Our findings can be useful in the search for effective
treatments against S. aureus.

Aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) is an exquisite liquid-liquid separation
technique that relies on the mixture of two aqueous solutions. It
possesses remarkable advantages, including gentle operating conditions,
exceptional biocompatibility, swift and straightforward procedures, and
a profound commitment to environmental preservation. In recent years,
there has been a burgeoning interest in ATPS for the extraction and
isolation of various compounds. ATPS has been proven to exhibit an
extraordinary ability to efficiently concentrate, enrich, recover, and
purify desired compounds from intricate matrices. Its triumphant
applications encompass the detection of veterinary drug residues in
food, the separation of precious metals and wastewater treatment. This
comprehensive review provides an overarching summary of phase diagrams
and various types of biphasic systems, while shedding light on the

Published: October 2023

Wind-driven redistribution of snow is one of the key factors leading to
heterogeneous accumulation of snow at small scales. Understanding these
processes is, therefore, of great importance to many glaciological and
hydrological questions. High-quality information on the wind field is
necessary to realistically represent drifting snow. Here, we introduce a
novel, intermediate-complexity drifting and blowing snow module for the
Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model that integrates seamlessly
into the standard WRF infrastructure. The module also accounts for snow
particle sublimation and considers the thermodynamic feedback on the
atmospheric fields. The module was tested in an idealized model
environment. The simple and computationally efficient implementation
allows this module to be used for small-scale and large-scale
simulations in polar and glaciated regions.
Validation of subgrain-size piezometry as a tool for measuring stress in polymineralic rocks
Authors: Goddard Rellie M , Kumamoto Kathryn , Hansen Lars , Wallis David , Cross Andrew James , Thom Christopher A.
Published: October 2023

We deformed samples with varied proportions of olivine and orthopyroxene
in a deformation-DIA apparatus to test the applicability of
subgrain-size piezometry to polymineralic rocks. We measured the stress
within each phase in situ via X-ray diffraction during deformation at a
synchrotron beamline. Subgrain-size piezometry was subsequently applied
to the recovered samples to estimate the stress that each phase
supported during deformation. For olivine, the final in-situ stresses
are consistent with the stresses estimated via subgrain-size piezometry,
both in monomineralic and polymineralic samples, despite non-steady
state conditions. However, stress estimates from subgrain-size
piezometry do not reliably record the in-situ stress in samples with
grain sizes that are too small for extensive subgrain-boundary
formation. For orthopyroxene, subgrain boundaries are typically sparse
due to the low strains attained by orthopyroxene in
olivine-orthopyroxene mixtures. Where sufficient substructure does
exist, our data supports the use of the subgrain-size piezometer on
orthopyroxene. These results do, however, suggest that care should be
taken when applying subgrain-size piezometry to strong minerals that may
have experienced little strain. Stresses estimated by X-ray diffraction
also offer insight into stress partitioning between phases. In mixtures
deformed at mean stresses > 5 GPa, orthopyroxene supports
stresses greater than those supported by olivine. This stress
partitioning is consistent with established theory that predicts a
slightly higher stress within a ‘strong’ phase contained in a material
consisting of interconnected weak layers. Overall, these results
demonstrate that subgrain-size piezometry is a valuable tool for
quantifying the stress state of polymineralic rocks.
Geophysical methods reveal the soil architecture and subsurface stratigraphic heterogeneities across land-lake interfaces along Lake Erie

Published: October 2023

The land-lake interface is a unique zone where terrestrial and aquatic
ecosystems meet, forming part of the Earth’s most geochemically and
biologically active zones. The unique characteristics of this interface
are yet to be properly understood due to the inherently high
spatiotemporal variability of subsurface properties, which are difficult
to capture with the traditional soil sampling methods. Geophysical
methods offer non-invasive techniques to capture variabilities in soil
properties at a high resolution across various spatiotemporal scales. We
combined electromagnetic induction (EMI), electrical resistivity
tomography (ERT), and ground penetrating radar (GPR) with data from soil
cores and in-situ sensors to investigate hydrostratigraphic
heterogeneities across land-lake interfaces along the western basin of
Lake Erie. Our Apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) maps matched soil
maps from a public database with the hydric soil units delineated as
high conductivity zones (ECa > 40 mS/m) and also detected
additional soil units that were missed in the traditional soil maps.
This implies that electromagnetic induction (EMI) could be relied upon
for non-invasive characterization of soils in sampling-restricted sites
where only non-invasive measurements are feasible. Results from ERT and
GPR are consistent with the surficial geology of the study area and
revealed variation in the vertical silty-clay and till sequence down to
3.5 m depth. These results indicate that multiple geophysical methods
can be used to extrapolate soil properties and map stratigraphic
structures at land-lake interfaces, thereby providing the missing
information required to improve the earth system model (ESM) of coastal
interfaces.
Dissecting the roles of the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes in a mouse model of autoimmune diabetes
Authors: Zou Weiwei , Chezhian Janaki , Yu Tenghui , Liu Wensheng , Vu Jimmy , Slone Jesse , Huang Taosheng
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Mitochondria, the organelles responsible for generating ATP in eukaryotic cells, have been previously implicated as a contributor to diabetes. However, mitochondrial proteins are encoded by both nuclear DNA (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In order to better understand the relative contribution of each of these genomes to diabetes, a chimeric mitochondrial-nuclear exchange (MNX) mouse was created via pronuclear transfer carrying nDNA from a strain susceptible to type 1 diabetes (NOD/ShiLtJ) and mtDNA from non-diabetic C57BL/6J mice. Inheritance of the resulting “heteroplasmic” mtDNA mixture was then tracked across multiple generations, showing that offspring heteroplasmy generally followed that of the mother, with occasional large shifts consistent with an mtDNA “bottleneck” in the germline. In addition, the survival and incidence of diabetes for MNX mice was tracked and compared to unaltered NOD/ShiLtJ control mice. The results indicate improved survival and a delay in diabetes onset in the MNX mice, demonstrating that the mtDNA holds a critical influence on the disease phenotype. Finally, enzyme activity assays showed that the NOD/ShiLtJ mice have a significant hyperactivity of complex I of the ETC relative to MNX mice, suggesting that a particular mtDNA variant (m.9461T>C) may be responsible for the disease causation in the original NOD/ShiLtJ strain.

Article Highlights

· Mitochondria have been previously implicated in diabetes, but the specific genetic factors remain unclear.

· To better understand the contributions of mitochondrial genes in the nuclear DNA (nDNA) versus the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), we created Mitochondrial-Nuclear Exchange (MNX) mice carrying nDNA from a diabetic strain and mtDNA from non-diabetic mice.

· Longterm tracking of MNX mice shows occasional large shifts in heteroplasmy consistent with an mtDNA bottleneck in the germline.

· In addition, the MNX mice showed improved survival and delayed incidence of diabetes relative to the unaltered diabetic mice, which appears to be linked to the activity of respiratory complex I.
Reconceptualizing Time to Understand How to Lead Digitalization in Education
Authors: Johansson Emelie
Published: October 2023

This study investigates how preschool principals learn how to understand and lead the digitalisation process in their preschool organisations collaboratively within an action research initiative. It specifically investigates how perspectives on time affect their understanding of leading digitalisation by exploring time as a discursive arrangement in a principal’s professional learning. The question is what happens when principals and researchers theorise time as a way to understand how to lead digitalisation in education. The study is based on data collected during the first year of action research. It takes its point of departure from the field of practice theory and uses the theory of practice architectures to analyse what happens in conversations when the participating princpals were challenged to shift from an objective time perspective to viewing time in terms of practice processes. The findings describe how a reconceptualisation of time affected the principals’ understandings of digitalisation in educational practice. Furthermore, it affected how the principals related to the teachers and how the principals organised educational change at their local schools.

A Review and Comparison of Transformer and Static Frequency Converter Traction Supply Architectures for AC Electrified Railways
Authors: Bowdidge Jonathan , Nouri Hassan
Published: October 2023

Electrification of the U.K. railway network will play a critical role in achieving targets of net-zero CO2 emissions while providing major benefits to train operators, passengers, and industry. In the drive to make electrification a more cost-effective prospect, this paper intends to complete a comparison of the common feeding arrangements and the novel Static Frequency Converter for use in AC electrification using PSCAD EMTDC simulations. The findings illustrate the performance of two classic architectures and autotransformer feeding compared to a proposed classic SFC arrangement and provide recommendations for SFC implementation with separations between feeder stations of up to 60 kilometres using a parallel feeding arrangement, along with demonstrating SFCs exhibiting more robust performance in the event of faults.

Components of the university learning environment, academic burnout, and shame among pre-service teachers: A structural equation modelling approach
Authors:   Faculty of Education, Helwan University, Egypt, Khalifa Mai Elsayed
Published: October 2023

Previous studies have investigated the connections between university learning environments and academic burnout, as well as between university learning environments and academic shame among students. Also, burnout and shame are related. However, no empirical studies have been conducted to determine the relationships between the university environment, academic shame, and academic burnout among pre-service teachers. To examine this issue, the present study assessed a hypothesized model examining the relationship between the university environment and academic burnout through academic shame as a mediator among pre-service teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, 700 pre-service teachers (114 males and 586 females from the Faculty of Education at Helwan University) were randomly selected for an invitation to complete a questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS to develop operating descriptive results. Confirmatory factor analysis was adopted to ensure the construct validity of the instruments used. AMOS software was used to validate the structural equation model (SEM) created using maximum likelihood estimation. The resulting model had a good fit to the data, according to the SEM analysis. The significant standard coefficients of the drawn paths indicated that components of the university environment directly and negatively predicted academic burnout and its components. Also, academic shame directly and positively predicted academic burnout and its components during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the components of the university environment had an indirect effect on academic burnout and its components through the mediation of academic shame during the COVID-19 pandemic. The implications are considered, and recommendations are proposed for future research.

Published: October 2023

The current development of information and communication technology presents several general principles that can guide every organization or institution in making strategic policies. Like preparing priority programs, in this case, is the government. So, one of the government's priority programs is government services to the community, namely the service of making Electronic Identity Cards (E-KTP). From this explanation, this research aims to find out how the E-KTP policy is implemented and the obstacles faced by the Government at the Plumpang District level, Tuban Regency. This research is qualitative, data collection starts from observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews. After the data was collected, it was analyzed descriptively qualitatively, giving rise to the conclusion that the E-KTP policy in Plumpang District, Tuban Regency started with socialization activities, data collection, and handing over summons to residents and then recording. Meanwhile, there are six obstacles faced in implementing the E-KTP policy in the Plumpang sub-district, Tuban district. firstly, there are still residents who have not been registered, second, the resources of employees implementing e-KTP are not ready, thirdly, socialization from the government regarding e-KTP is still unclear, fourthly there is a lack of equipment facilities, fifthly there is a lack of communication and coordination carried out by the government, and sixthly there is a lack of discipline E-KTP operator employee. From this conclusion, authorized officials at the Plumpang District level can discipline E-KTP operator employees, because the basic service of the Plumpang District government to the community is the service in making E-KTP

Published: October 2023

The aim of our study was to develop a multimodal experimental protocol for in vivo imaging and metabolic parameters (MRI, DTI and 1H MRS) in an animal model of neurodegeneration. We have successfully developed the protocol for simultaneous DTI/MRI/1H MRS measurement to ensure unaltered conditions for repeatable non-invasive experiments. In this experiment, diffusion tensor imaging, spectroscopic and volumetric “bio-markers” were generated in the brain for the D-galactose model of “age-related dementia”. The hippocampal relative volume, taurine and myo-inositol relative concentrations were found to be significant predictors contributing to the differences between the groups of rats treated with D-galactose in simulated “neurodegeneration”, even in response to the applied Huperzine A therapy.
Impact of SARS-CoV-2 on lung cancer patient under immunotherapy
Authors: Lisumbu Rinedy Mondonga , Fănică Aida-Andreea , Gurzu Ioana Eliza , Mihălțan Florin Dumitru
Published: October 2023

Patients with lung cancer have an increased vulnerability to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus infection, and the association of the two diseases increases the severity of the infection. We present the case of a patient aged 72 years, a former 30 pack year (PA) smoker with 12 years withdrawal, and unvaccinated anti-SARS-CoV-2, with GOLD 2 COPD, hypertensive, recently diagnosed with left bronchopulmonary neoplasm and under immunotherapy. The patient had a fast-evolving SARS-COVID infection to a critical form, complicated with acute pulmonary embolism, nosocomial fungal infection, myelodysplastic syndrome, moderate multifactorial anaemic syndrome and heart disease. The unfavourable evolution of the patient’s condition led to the temporary suspension of oncological treatment throughout the critical period, but without the progression of neoplastic disease. Although bronchopulmonary neoplasm emphasises the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is not mandatory to develop a harmful oncologic outcome without proper treatment, especially immunotherapy.

Liquid organic fertilizer is a type of fertilizer made from the utilization of organic waste. Food waste used in the process of making liquid organic fertilizer includes vegetables, leftover rice, onion peel, and fruit residue. The purpose of this study was to obtain the effect of using EM4 and molasses bioactivator in the manufacture of liquid organic fertilizer. The method used for water content analysis is the gravimetric method (AOAC 2016). From the results of research that has been done that the use of molasses and EM4 does not cause a significant effect on temperature and pH. From the results of field research, the average temperature obtained from three replications is 27.8ºC and the resulting pH value is 7.49 at the beginning of the fermentation. In the analysis of NPK levels, the role of the use of molasses and EM4 is very influential, where each produces a value of 0.12%, 0.042% , 0.022% which is the highest value for NPK. The results of the analysis of the water content of the material get a value of 47.73%. The results of the analysis of the C/N ratio showed that the C-Organic value was higher than the N-total value. The colors produced from leachate materials are very diverse, due to variations in the raw materials used. The use of molasses and EM4 bioactivator had no effect on temperature and pH but did have a significant effect on NPK levels.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the type of container (bamboo basket, plastic basket, and cardboard) on the physical characteristics and quality of tomatoes during the distribution process using ground transportation simulation. This study used a 2 factorial randomized block design (RBD) with 3 repetitions. The results of this study indicate that the maximal physical damage occurred in the bamboo basket container within 5 hours of treatment because the bamboo basket has rough sides and high porosity of 4.078% (physical damage in the form of increased scratches and bruises and decreased hardness). Minimal damage occurred in the cardboard container with a 1-hour treatment because it has a smooth coating of the container and not too high porosity, namely 3.960%. The best container to use in the tomato distribution process using a ground transportation simulation is a cardboard container (having low porosity the cardboard and a smooth container layer) so can be maintained the condition of the tomatoes.

Purpose: Evaluate how land use and local conditions affects extracellular enzyme activity of actinobacterial strains isolated from soils in the Brazilian Semi-arid Northeast region.
 
Theoretical framework: The study is framed within soil microbial ecology and environmental microbiology, examining how environmental factors shape the diversity and function of soil bacteria.
 
Method: Soil samples were collected along transects from 3 conservation units into surrounding areas with different land uses. Actinobacteria were isolated and identified morphologically. Extracellular enzyme activities were measured and compared between land uses and locations.
 
Results: The study found considerable actinobacterial diversity, with Streptomyces as the most abundant genus. Amylase, cellulase and xylanase activities varied between locations and land uses. Multivariate analysis revealed heterogeneity in the functional diversity of actinobacterial communities related to land use.
 
Conclusions: Both land use and minor local distinctions can strongly influence the metabolic potential and ecosystem functions of actinobacterial populations in semi-arid environments.
 
Originality/value: Provides new insights into actinobacterial ecology in Brazilian semi-arid soils, showing land use and local conditions strongly influence bacterial community distribution.
Fallacies in Sustainability: a Systematic Review
Authors: De Lima Lavoisiene Rodrigues , Freire Fátima de Souza , Da Silva Nilton Oliveira
Published: October 2023

Objective: To analyze the trends of academic productions on the fallacies enunciated in the sustainable discourse.
 
Method: The procedures of an systematic review were used, with the help of Rayyan® software in the selection and organization of articles, then, through a qualitative analysis, the themes were separated into approaches and the fallacies mentioned were verified.
 
Results and conclusion: Four types of fallacious approaches were identified in the context of business debate, namely: the quality of information; the identification of fallacies; fallacious behavior and impression management. This last approach being the fallacious theme most associated with corporate sustainability.
 
Research implications: The research aims to contribute to the improvement of preparers in disclosures, emphasizing the importance of consistent disclosure. In addition to allowing the user of the information to become aware of possible fallacious methods, the accuracy of the stakeholders in the analysis can be increased and, finally, emphasize the socio-environmental responsibility of companies before society.
 
Originality/value: Addressing this topic has become relevant given the non-standard scenario regarding corporate sustainable disclosures, in addition to the recent proposal under consideration for an international standard on these aspects.
Synthesis and Characterization of Adsorbent Materials Magnetite Mercaptosilicate Ion Imprinted Polymer as Cadmium Ion Adsorbent

Published: October 2023

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal with the active property of reacting with other components so that cadmium residues can quickly enter the food chain and cause cardiovascular, kidney, and cancer diseases. The purpose was to synthesize the magnetite mercaptosilicate ion imprinted polymer adsorbent material by forming Ion-Imprinted Polymer as a template, to analyze the characterization results using XRD and SEM-EDS, and to determine the adsorption test results for Cd metal ions. The results of the characterization of XRD show that there is a broad peak at a diffraction angle of 2θ= 20-220 with an amorphous structure, which is silica, and there is a high peak at a diffraction angle of 2θ= 35.55140 which indicates magnetite. The results of SEM analysis with magnifications of 500x, 1000x, and 5000x showed that the surface morphology of the particles was not uniform. For the EDS results, it can be seen that the components of the magnetite mercaptosilicate ion imprinted polymer material are elements C, O, Si, S, and Fe, with a mass percentage of 25.0%; 41.2%; 29.9%; 3.28% and 0.8%. The results of the adsorption test for the Magnetite-IIP-Mercaptosilika Material were able to adsorb Cd ions with the highest adsorption capacity of 10.536 mg/g at a concentration of 100 mg/L. Then the selectivity coefficient value of the Ion Cd metal ion is 2.32 greater than 1, indicating that the selectivity of the magnetite mercaptosilicate ion imprinted polymer material is much higher for Ion Cd metal ions than for Cu and Cr ions with a selectivity coefficient of 0.1 and 0.26.
