Authors: S. Karthikeyan , P. Sureshkumar , C. Dinakaran , A. Chezhian , Kolanjinathan K.
Published: August 2024

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption in the seas is changing the chemistry of saltwater globally, which has an impact on marine biota. The increasing partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) is shoaling the calcium carbonate saturation horizon in a number of regions, particularly high latitudes and those that connect with notable hypoxic zones. Early calcareous skeleton formation in marine organisms, especially fish, is directly impacted by the CO2 chemistry of seawater.
Furthermore, CO2 alters the physiology of marine animals by reducing their ability to transfer oxygen and creating an acid-base imbalance. There is not enough study done at relevant pCO2 levels to help us predict future effects on food-web dynamics and other ecological processes. The seabass fingerlings are exposed to various pH levels over a duration of nine weeks. Ocean acidification (OA) levels were measured at pH 7.8, pH 7.5, and pH 8.1, which served as the control.
Results revealed that fingerling of seabass had a greater impact on growth rate and haematological markers. The results also revealed that long term effect of OA leads to changes the red blood cells (RBCs) and white blood cells (WBCs) count, which indirectly affect the other haematological indices. We conclude that there is a tremendous deal of potential for broad alterations to marine ecosystems as a result of OA and the combined effects of other human stressors.

Published: August 2024

Understanding player behaviour in online gaming is essential for enhancing user engagement and retention. This study utilizes a dataset from Kaggle, capturing a wide range of player demographics and in-game metrics to predict player engagement levels categorized as 'High,' 'Medium,' or 'Low.' The dataset includes features such as age, gender, location, game genre, playtime, in-game purchases, game difficulty, session frequency, session duration, player level, and achievements. The research employs a Gaussian Naive Bayes model, with data pre-processing steps including feature selection, categorical data encoding, and scaling of numerical features. The dataset is split into training (80%) and testing (20%) sets, and a 5-fold cross-validation is used to ensure model robustness. The model's performance is evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The results show consistent performance across different folds, with an average accuracy of 84.27%, precision of 85.59%, recall of 84.27%, and F1-score of 83.98%. These findings indicate that the Gaussian Naive Bayes model can reliably predict player engagement levels, identifying significant predictors such as session frequency and in-game purchases. The study contributes to game analytics by providing a predictive model that can help game developers and marketers design more engaging gaming experiences. Future research should incorporate a broader range of features, including psychological and social factors, and explore other machine learning algorithms to enhance predictive accuracy.

Authors: El-Malak Mariam Abd , Henein Michael Y
Published: August 2024

Background: The most well-known usage of the term μονογενής is in the spiritually admired hymn Omonogenyc Uioc ke Logoc tw :ew and the most frequently used clergy blessing, ‘f’cmarwout ‘nje pefmonogenyc ‘nsyri. It has been noticed that in many of the liturgical books that have been written in Arabic, μονογενής is often translated as ‘the only race وحيد الجنس , which does not reflect the essence of the term μονογενής.Methods: We hereby provide biblical, Old Testament and New Testament, liturgical books and common prayer book (Agpya) evidence for the exact meaning of the term μονογενής with its Greek references. These quotations prove that the accurate meaning of the term μονογενής is the Only Begotten which is الوحيد .Conclusion: The term μονογενής means the Only Begotten and not race, as translated in Arabic. Such accurate translation has important theological meaning hence should be adhered to.

Wolves in the German Print News Media
Authors: Hartwig Stephanie N.
Published: August 2024

Wolves were eradicated from Germany in the 19th century. The reintroduction of wolves was a resounding success - today there are around over 180 packs living in Germany. However, this has triggered a fierce debate centred on one overarching question: can humans and wolves coexist in this country? This study provides valuable insights for the social debate on the return of wolves in Germany. By analysing newspaper articles, it shows how attitudes have changed over time and in different regions. It also highlights the role of the media in communicating information to the public and thus influencing our attitudes.
Climate Change in Tropical Glacier-Fed Rivers, Contrasting Global Responses and Future Implications on Stream Functional Diversity
Authors: Andino Guarderas Patricio , Espinosa Barrera Rodrigo
Published: August 2024

Glaciers in the tropics have unique characteristics, such as their melting patterns and the impact of glacial influence on our environment. This chapter’s objective is to assess melting tropical glaciers effects on the ecological dynamics of highland glacier-influenced streams, including changing local patterns due to climate change. Life traits such as trophic interactions and phenology patterns of a multi environmental riverine system of distinct origins are inquired. These diverse patterns alter some ecosystem biotic functions such as resilience and decomposition of highland rivers. Population and community approaches, perspectives on ecosystem function, and future impacts are included, as tropical glacier’s melting effect changes and diminishes in time. The density, richness, and composition of macroinvertebrate assemblages in these areas are influenced by factors such as altitude, glacier coverage, conductivity, temperature, and channel stability. Dispersal plays a crucial role in shaping the succession of glacier forelands and similar environment, as spatial beta-diversity is influenced by nestedness and turnover, indicating distinct mechanisms driving diversity. Climate change is bound to affect glacier catchments and downstream aquatic ecosystems, not only by decreasing quantity but quality of water; projected higher human demand and lower water supply might cause future local conflicts over water availability for human use.
Psychoeducation on Medication for People with Anorexia Nervosa: A Quality Improvement Project
Authors: McMahon Jessica , Green Ines , Omitogun Titilope , Picek Ivana , Peachey Gemma , Day Camilla , Treasure Janet , Himmerich Hubertus
Published: August 2024

Whilst no medication has yet been approved for the treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN), clinicians often prescribe psychopharmacological and physical health medication to help with low mood, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, sleep problems and pain. However, shared decision-making (SDM) requires an informed patient who feels confident to make the decision on their medication together with the medical doctor. We have therefore designed an intervention that consisted of a leaflet and two seminars, one on psychopharmacological agents and one on physical health medication, and we have measured the patients’ own perception of their knowledge about medication before and after this intervention. A total of 11 patients with AN, 10 females and one gender-fluid person between 19 and 37 years of age who were currently treated in our inpatient or daycare service, agreed to participate in the quality improvement project. After the intervention, patients felt significantly better informed in four different domains: medications for eating disorders, mental health and physical health medication, and pro re nata (PRN) medication. The latter is medication that is given as required. Thus, a psychoeducational activity consisting of written information and seminars seems feasible to improve knowledge and SDM in people with AN. However, the small sample size limits the generalizability of our findings.

Furthermore, the chapter reports a methodology for slope calculation, which is crucial for assessing runoff potential and subsequent nitrate leaching and comprehensive case studies on livestock manure management technologies, highlighting innovative practices for reducing environmental impact.
The Tsallis Entropic Index q as a Measure of Distance from Thermal Equilibrium in Paramagnetic Spin Lattices
Authors: Masthay Mark , Benton Charles , Guerrieri Luke , Keil Robert
Published: August 2024

For super–systems C + D comprised of combinations of sub–systems C and D which obey Boltzmann thermo–statistics, the entropy S is additive (SC + SD = SC + D) and extensive and the temperature T is intensive. However, because of finite–size effects, the entropy becomes non–additive and non–extensive, and the temperature non–intensive, for very small systems. In such cases, the Tsallis entropic index q quantifies the extent to which the entropy is non–additive and the temperature is non–intensive. In this paper, we use paramagnetic spin lattices (PSLs) as model systems to demonstrate that q is not only a measure of entropic non–extensivity and temperature non–intensivity, but also the extent to which sub–PSL/super–PSL combinations of various sizes deviate from the global thermal equilibrium condition TC = TD = TC + D. Our results demonstrate that q → 1 as global thermal equilibrium is approached regardless of system size, thus indicating that q is an effective measure of distance from equilibrium.
Macroeconomics in the Twenty-First Century: Keynes Vis-à-Vis the Others
Authors: Dasgupta Byasdeb
Published: August 2024

The paper is an attempt to review the major macroeconomic theories which were applied in macroeconomic policies to serve the purpose of different macroeconomic regimes from time to time since 1930s. We traced out a historical journey of the three main macroeconomic theories, namely Keynesian, Monetarism and New Classical (which includes the Rational Expectation School), to see how theories underwent changes or how paradigm shifts in the macroeconomic theories occurred with the change or transformation in the macroeconomic regimes since 1930s. The macro problems which were relevant in the days of Keynes became more complex and complicated with the turn of macro events in the 1970s, when stagflation became a real issue. Keynes was replaced by the new policy regime in the 1970s which followed the Monetarist and New Classical ideas to a large extent. The end of the twentieth century was earmarked by the inception of the neoliberal macro policies, which differed significantly from Keynes and went well with Monetarism and the New Classical School. However, the periodic recurrence of crisis continued in the free market economy. The beginning decade of the twenty-first century saw a severe global crisis almost of the level of the Great Depression of the 1930s. Today apart from employment generation, containment of inflation and augmentation of real output, speculative financial growth is playing havoc for the policymakers as none of these three major macro schools of thought can effectively tackle all the macro problems of our time.
The Role of the Coastal Aquifer Structure on the Transfer Processes of the Tidal Signal Inferred from Harmonic Decomposition of Hydrogeological Time Series
Authors: Bourhane Anli , Sosote Ibrahim Lhad , Mohamed Gou Zakaria
Published: August 2024

In volcanic islands, the quality of coastal groundwater displays a high degree of spatial heterogeneity. In this study, hydrogeological time series were recorded on a groundwater monitoring network including 13 boreholes: 10 in Reunion island and 3 in Grande Comore island. Calculated apparent diffusivity values reflect the diversity in the degree of confinement of the considered aquifers. Using a signal analysis script, 68 theoretical tidal constituents were identified in all the collected groundwater head time series. Analysis of the amplitude of the signal-to-noise ratio on the various tidal components in each borehole shows that the confined groundwater bodies are more sensitive to high-frequency tidal components, whereas unconfined groundwater bodies are characterized by a sensitivity to low-frequency tidal components only. The analysis of the groundwater electrical conductivity signal also revealed two types of behavior: In a first group of boreholes, the evolution of the salinity is essentially controlled by long-period oceanic variations, whereas in a second group of boreholes, groundwater quality is rather controlled by the seasonal freshwater recharge. These results contribute to a better understanding of the groundwater vulnerability to marine intrusions in these complex coastal environments, where the degree of aquifer confinement is found to play a key role.

Published: August 2024

The growing consumer demand for sustainable meat production can be met in a way that balances environmental effect, farmer livelihood, and animal welfare through rabbit farming. However, the different types of rabbit farming each present advantages, drawbacks, and challenges that extend to the environment, farmers, and the animals. Advantages include the facts that rabbits are prolific breeders and are highly efficient converters of feed into meat. Rabbit require less land, water, and feed compared to other livestock species. Greenhouse gas emission and waste production are relatively low, making rabbit farming a sustainable farming model. Despite being smaller than other livestock, rabbits still require adequate space for their well-being. Insufficient space can result in stress, health issues, and decreased productivity. The welfare of rabbits is a critical aspect. In addition to being legally and morally required, upholding high welfare standards and ensuring humane treatment improves the quality of output. Overpopulation and ethical considerations should be carefully managed to ensure responsible and sustainable rabbit farming practices. Ultimately, rabbit farming can serve as a feasible remedy for the challenges that are faced in achieving sustainable meat production, provided that it is meticulously managed to maintain a harmonious equilibrium between environmental preservation, economic viability, and animal welfare.
Influence of Fatigue on Selected Kinematic Parameters in High Jump – A Pilot Case Study
Authors: Aščić Sara , Marinović Marin , Kuna Danijela
Published: August 2024

PURPOSE: High jump, a complex athletic activity, involves distinct phases crucial for success, notably the take-off phase. While previous studies explored kinematic parameters' influence on high jump success, none investigated their fatigue-induced changes. This pilot study aimed to explore fatigue's impact on kinematic parameters in high jump performance. METHODS: A prominent Croatian junior high jumper underwent rested and fatigued jumping sessions. Internal fatigue was assessed via the Wellness questionnaire and session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE). External fatigue parameters were assessed through bilateral and unilateral Countermovement Jump (CMJ) height using Gyko and Optogait devices. Kinematic parameters were recorded via Logitech C920 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro cameras, including contact time, take-off place, knee and body angles. RESULTS: Significant differences were observed in knee angle touchdown (p=0,01), knee angle take-off (p=0,05), body angle touchdown (p=0,01), body angle take-off (p=0,03), knee amortization start (p=0,05), and knee amortization (p=0,01). CONCLUSION: Fatigue significantly impacts kinematic parameters in high jump, particularly affecting body inclination during take-off, knee angles, and knee amortization. Coaches should consider fatigue when planning training and competition schedules for optimal performance. Maintaining rested conditions is crucial, and targeted training can enhance muscle groups affected by fatigue during specific jump phases.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the association between the five-factor personality model (FFM), physical fitness, and physical activity (PA), and the effect of firefighting skills training on physical condition in firefighter recruits.  Methods: Data on 58 newly-recruited firefighters from the CELSPAC–FIREexpo human biomonitoring study were used. The sampling protocol was structured in the entry phase  testing on the 5th week of training, and final testing on the 10th week of training. During the testing, participants filled out the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory, and underwent analysis of body composition using Dual energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA), a physical work capacity test (PWC 170), a muscular strength test (one repetition maximum bench press (1RM BP) and squat (1RM S)) and the measurement of body weight and height to calculate body mass index (BMI). Associations between study parameters were determined using the Spearman correlation.  Results: Extraversion (E) was positively associated with time spent in vigorous physical activity (VPA) and Openness to Experience (O) was negatively associated with time spent sitting. Openness to Experience was also positively associated with BMI and lean mass differences between entry and output measurements. Furthermore, 1 RM S significantly increased during the training program.  Conclusion:  The observed association between personality from FFM and PA levels in the present study was lower than in the general population reported by other studies. The positive association between E and VPA suggests that using FFM and the relationship between personality and physical fitness as one of the criteria for the selection of suitable recruits may be beneficial.

TWENTY FOUR GURUS: POLYGURUISM
Authors: Patel Dr. Janki B.
Published: August 2024

Guru is a Sanskrit term for a "mentor, guide, expert, or master" of a certain knowledge or field. In pan-Indian traditions, a guru is more than a teacher: traditionally, the guru is a reverential figure to the disciple or student, with the guru serving as a "counsellor, who helps mould values, shares experiential knowledge as much as literal knowledge, an exemplar in life, an inspirational source and who helps in the spiritual evolution of a student". Whatever language it is written in, Judith Simmer-Brown says that a tantric spiritual text is often codified in an obscure twilight language so that it cannot be understood by anyone without the verbal explanation of a qualified teacher, the guru. A guru is also one's spiritual guide, who helps one to discover the same potentialities that the guru has already realized. This chapter is a sincere attempt to justify what should we learn from twenty four masters.

Innovations in Immunotherapy: Monoclonal Antibodies and Biologics Redefining Cancer and Autoimmune Disease Treatments
Authors: Islam Mr. Mohidul , Devi Ms. Jayashree , Umam Mr. Abdul Hadi , Jit Mr. Tanmay
Published: August 2024

Cancer arises when the immune system fails to react to malignant cells, while autoimmune diseases result from the immune system attacking self-antigens. Traditionally viewed as distinct fields, research in autoimmunity has significantly contributed to cancer therapy advancements, notably through the identification of immune checkpoints and the development of PD-1 and CTLA-4 targeting drugs. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), a prominent class of biologics, have revolutionized treatment approaches for both cancer and autoimmune diseases. Structurally, antibodies are Y-shaped molecules with specific regions responsible for antigen binding and effector functions. Therapeutic mAbs, primarily of the IgG class, have shown efficacy in targeting cancer cells, modulating immune responses, and inhibiting inflammatory pathways. In cancer therapy, mAbs target specific antigens on tumor cells, such as CD20, EGFR, and HER2, or disrupt tumor microenvironment processes like angiogenesis. In autoimmune disorders, mAbs inhibit cytokines like TNF-alpha, IL-1, IL-6, and target B cell antigens like CD20 to reduce inflammation and autoimmunity. The successful application of mAbs in both domains underscores their potential in developing targeted and effective treatments.

Published: August 2024

The chronic metabolic disease known as diabetes mellitus, which is characterised by hyperglycemia, is a severe health burden that affects people all over the world. As a result of the limits and bad effects that relate to the treatments that are now available, the quest for new antidiabetic agents continues, despite the achievements that have been made in pharmacotherapy. It has come to people's notice that plant alkaloids have the potential to have medicinal benefits, including characteristics that may help prevent diabetes. The purpose of this study is to offer a complete overview of the possible anti-diabetic effects of plant alkaloids by investigating their mechanisms of action, preclinical and clinical data, and potential future applications. A comprehensive search of scientific databases led to the discovery of pertinent research that were published in journals that were subjected to peer review. Plant alkaloids, such as berberine, metformin, and quinolizidine alkaloids, have shown promise anti-diabetic benefits via a variety of mechanisms. These mechanisms include insulin sensitization, blockage of glucose absorption, and modification of signalling pathways that are important in glucose homeostasis. In addition, alkaloids have qualities that contribute to their overall therapeutic success in the treatment of diabetes. These features include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipid-lowering effects. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of plant alkaloids as supplementary or alternative therapy for diabetes, more clinical studies are necessary, despite the positive preclinical evidence that has been collected. By gaining an understanding of the pharmacological characteristics and mechanisms of action of plant alkaloids, it is possible to pave the way for the creation of new antidiabetic medicines that are more effective and more tolerable.
Mecanica fenomenologică

Published: August 2024

O privire de ansamblu asupra mecanicii clasice, care intenționează să ofere o acoperire a principiilor și tehnicilor fundamentale, un domeniu vechi dar care se află la baza întregii fizicii, și care în ultimii ani a cunoscut o dezvoltare rapidă. Se subliniază principiile de bază fenomenologice, fără a insista pe un formalism excesiv. Cartea începe cu o introducere în mecanică cu conceptele de bază, urmată de cele trei legi de mișcare ale lui Newton (inerția, forța, și acțiunea și reacțiunea), mecanica unidimensională (liniară – viteza, accelerația, căderea liberă, masa inerțială și gravitaţională, forțe și interacțiuni, noțiuni de statică și dinamică, impulsul, coliziuni), energia (lucrul mecanic, puterea, energia potențială și cinetică, surse de energie) și un capitol special pentru mecanica mașinilor. Mișcarea de rotație este detaliată prin mișcarea circulară (momentul unghiular, forța centripetă, forța centrifugă, gravitația artificială). Sunt dedicate capitole speciale gravitației (legea universală a gravitației, câmpul gravitațional, teoria gravitației a lui Tesla și teoriile moderne ale gravitației) și mișcarea proiectilelor și sateliților (balistica – proiectile, sateliți artificiali, orbite circulare și eliptice). O carte pentru studiul personal, concisă și ușor de citit, care clarifică aceste teorii și profunzimea mecanicii newtoniene, cel mai important domeniu al fizicii pe care se bazează toate celelalte abordări teoretice și explicații ale fenomenelor fizice.

Non-Invasive Methodologies for Endometrial Evaluation in Medically Assisted Reproduction
Authors: Pierson Hannah E
Published: August 2024

A conceptual synopsis of the state of non-invasive image-based endometrial receptivity assessment methods utilized within in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles is presented in narrative review format. Many methods for assessing the endometrial contribution to cycle outcome have been posited over the decades since IVF became a mainstream approach for treatment of infertility. Yet, understanding of the endometrial component remains incomplete and most methods for assessing endometrium in the context of IVF are subject to significant divides within the literature. The need for non-invasive, per-cycle approaches to assess endometrial receptivity is being addressed with innovative methods; and, incremental progress is laying a foundation for quantitative assessment of the many factors that contribute to endometrial receptivity. Non-invasive image-based assessments of the endometrium align on two key factors: 1) they make quantifiable assessments of specific endpoints; and, 2) they are conducted on a per-cycle basis which enables real-time clinical decision making. Herein we summarize endometrial thickness, endometrial pattern, uterine biophysical profiles, endometrial scoring, Doppler approaches, uterine contractility, endometrial length and volume, endometrial compaction, the ultrasound-based endometrial receptivity test, and artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches to assessment of endometrium. We also note and discuss the importance of accounting for embryo quality when making decisions focused on endometrial assessment methods since the two factors are intimately intertwined in successful establishment of pregnancy.

Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, sedentary lifestyle telah menjadi semakin umum di kalangan remaja di Indonesia. Kemajuan teknologi telah berkontribusi pada pengurangan aktivitas fisik, yang menyebabkan berbagai masalah kesehatan seperti obesitas, penyakit mental, dan penyebab kematian lainnya yang sebenarnya dapat dicegah dengan gaya hidup aktif. Studi telah mengidentifikasi berbagai faktor sebagai pemicu sedentary lifestyle di kalangan remaja Indonesia seperti penggunaan media sosial, game virtual, dan layanan streaming yang berlebihan. Menurut data Global School-Based Health Survey (GSHS) tahun 2015 yang diterbitkan oleh Kementerian Kesehatan Indonesia, siswa remaja cenderung mengadopsi pola hidup yang tidak banyak bergerak, sehingga aktivitas fisik berkurang. Sehingga penting untuk mendorong remaja untuk terlibat dalam kegiatan fisik seperti olahraga, rekreasi luar ruangan dan rutinitas olahraga. Untuk memerangi epidemi yang berkembang ini di Indonesia dan di seluruh dunia, sekolah harus secara aktif mempromosikan pendidikan jasmani untuk mendorong kaum muda mengadopsi gaya hidup aktif dan kebiasaan sehat. Kegiatan pengabdian Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan pelajar SMA mengenai sedentary lifestyle. Kegiatan ini dilakukan di salah satu SMA di Pekanbaru yaitu MAN 1 Pekanbaru. Dari kegiatan pengabdian Masyarakat ini diharapkan pelajar SMA dapat mengenali dan mencegah sedentary lifestyle dalam kesehariannya.
