Fucoxanthin belonging to the carotenoid family has different bioactive properties as anti-oxidant, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, and anti-cancer effects. This study presents the results of the extraction and purification of fucoxanthin fromSargassum olygocystumMontagne, 1845 using thin-layer chromatography, column chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography. Furthermore, this study demonstrated the antioxidant activities, expression of antioxidant enzymes, and inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of fucoxanthin. The chemical structure, molecular formula (C42H58O6), and molecular weight (658) of fucoxanthin were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Fucoxanthin isolated fromS. olygocystumshowed no cytotoxic effects, moreover, it showed potent antioxidant activity as assessed by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method (with an IC50value of 3.42 ± 0.15 mg mL− 1), and AchE inhibitory activity (with an IC50value of 130.12 ± 6.65 µg mL− 1). At concentrations of 50 and 100 µg mL− 1, fucoxanthin protected against amyloid β-protein fragment 25–35 - induced neurotoxicity on the C6 neuronal cell line with the survival of C6 cells higher than 81.01 and 80.98%, respectively, compared to the control group (59%). Moreover, antioxidant enzyme activity and quantitative PCR analysis revealed that the neuroprotective effect of fucoxanthin, was possibly due to not only regulation of gene expression of antioxidant enzyme (CAT and GPx), ER pathway (caspase-3 and Bax) but also promoting expression of genes involved in PI3K/Akt signaling (GSK-3β), autophagy (p62 and ATG5) and the biosynthesis of ACh (VAChT and ChAT). Therefore, fucoxanthin extracted from theSargassum olygocystumis a potential feedstock source for the production of health foods with neuroprotective effects.
Impact of environmental color and instruction on wayfinding in humans
Authors: RD Sambath , Tiwari Divyanshu , Kumar Deepak , Asthana Manish Kumar
Published: March 2023

Researchers believe that wayfinding and landmark identification can be enhanced using route instruction and a bird's eye view. It remains an open question whether a bird's eye view or a route instruction would reduce cognitive load in spatial landmark identification. In addition, the effect of environmental colour on human landmark identification during navigation is unclear. The study was conducted with a Virtual environmental (VE) paradigm, and Sixty-six college students (46 males and 20 females) between the ages of 18–35 years volunteered as participants. Participants were randomly assigned to four groups (Instruction- Bird's eye, Instruction- No Bird's eye, No Instruction- Bird's eye, and No Instruction - No Bird's eye). The results of the independent between-group ANOVA yielded a statistically significant effect, F (3, 56) = 3.75, p = 0.01, η2 = 0.16 on coloured environmental conditions. Compared to the B/W condition, coloured environments support landmark identification only in the initial stages of wayfinding. Moreover, the visual trajectory analysis indicates that the number of deviations in the shortest route is less in B/W conditions than in coloured conditions. The study results demonstrated the importance of route instruction on landmark identification under coloured and B/W environments. The results also indicate that the wayfinding time can be reduced by providing clear route instructions in a declarative format.

Background

Social cognition refers to all mental operations to decipher information needed in social interactions. Here we aimed to outline the socio-cognitive profile of Chronic Migraine with Medication Overuse (CM + MO), given they are recognized to be at risk of socio-cognitive difficulties. Given the multidimensionality of this construct, we considered: (1) socio-cognitive abilities, (2) socio-cognitive beliefs, (3) alexithymia and autism traits, and (4) social relationships.

Methods

Seventy-one patients suffering from CM + MO, 61 from episodic migraine (EM), and 80 healthy controls (HC) were assessed with a comprehensive battery: (1) the Faux Pas test (FP), the Strange Stories task (SS), the Reading Mind in the Eyes test (RMET), (2) the Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale, (3) the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, the Autism Spectrum Quotient, (4) the Lubben Social Network Scale, the Friendship Scale.

Results

CM + MO: (1) performed similar to EM but worse than HC in the FP and SS, while they were worse than EM and HC in the RMET; (2) were similar to EM and HC in social intelligence; (3) had more alexithymic/autistic traits than EM and HC; (4) reported higher levels of contact with their family members but felt little support from the people around them than HC.

Conclusions

CM + MO results characterized by a profile of compromised socio-cognitive abilities that affects different dimensions. These findings may have a relevant role in multiple fields related to chronic headache: from the assessment to the management.

Previous studies have shown that exposure to nature and physical activity (PA) may be associated with higher intelligence in children. We examined whether there is an association between lifelong exposure to greenspace and bluespace and intelligence in children aged 10–13 with and without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and whether PA mediates this association. The sample (N = 714) was collected within the NeuroSmog case-control study, where children with (N = 206) and without ADHD (N = 508) were recruited from 18 towns in southern Poland. Nature exposure was estimated as the sum of the z-scores of the objective and perceived measures. Objective greenspace exposure was defined as the percentage of grass and tree cover in 500 m and 1 km buffers around lifelong residential addresses, respectively. Objective bluespace exposure was defined as the percentage of water cover in 500 m and 1 km buffers. Perceived greenspace/bluespace was measured as the parent-rated availability, quality, and use of greenspace/bluespace. Intelligence was assessed using the Polish version of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, 5th edition (SB5). SB5 Full Scale intelligence quotient (IQ), Nonverbal IQ, Verbal IQ, five factor and ten subtest scores were analysed as outcomes. The associations between nature and IQ scores were assessed by linear regressions separately for cases and controls, adjusting the models for sex, parental education, and urbanicity. Structural equation modeling was implemented to test whether PA mediated the association between nature and intelligence. None of the greenspace or bluespace measures were consistently associated with intelligence. PA was not found to be a mediator. We did not find evidence that higher lifelong nature exposure is associated with higher intelligence in Polish schoolchildren with or without ADHD. This casts doubts on whether exposure to nature has relevant influence on IQ.
A Global Systematic Review, Meta-analysis and Health Risk Assessment of the Concentration of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Bread: A Protocol for a Systematic Review with Meta-analysis
Authors: Touranlou Fateme Asadi , Sani seyedeh Belin Tavakkoli , Ghavami Vahid , Hashemi Mohammad
Published: March 2023

Background: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are formed during various industrial processes and activities, mainly through pyrolysis, especially when organic matter is incompletely combusted. There is evidence that PAHs affect host resistance, humoral immunity, and immune system development. These health problems may occasionally be linked to genotoxicity, chronic intoxication symptoms, and carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects. One of the most common food sources in human nutrition is bread. Bread can be contaminated with PAHs due to contamination of baking ingredients (mainly flour) and the baking process. So, this study describes a systematic review protocol with meta-analysis on the concentration of PAHs in bread on a global scale.
Methods: Literature searches will be conducted in Science Direct, PubMed, web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar will be searched from early to September 2022. Each database will be searched independently, and the reference lists of all studies will be manually searched for relevant literature, which may be omitted during the search. We will use keywords related to the terms “polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons” and “PAHs”. These keywords are then combined with the terms “bread” and “health risk” to be used.
Discussion: A systematic review with meta-analysis to assess the health risks associated with PAH levels in bread will be conducted. This study will investigate all bread consumed on a global scale. In order to be able to compare the amount of PAHs in bread, the type of bread, the type of oven, and the geographical origin will be used to determine which Factor is most effective in raising PAHs concentration.

Adapting MAIN to isiZulu – some reflections on ecological validity
Authors: Ndlovu Blessing Ntokozo , Klop Daleen
Published: March 2023

The Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (MAIN) was developed as an instrument to assess the narrative skills of children in multilingual and multicultural contexts. The aim was to compile an instrument that is ecologically valid and culturally neutral so it can be used to assess children’s narrative skills regardless of their linguistic, socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. While storytelling occurs in all communities and cultures, storytelling customs may differ from culture to culture. For example, African storytelling is based on oral traditions passed on from one generation to the next. In the Zulu culture, which has a very rich anthology of folktales and oral traditions, stories are often used to teach moral lessons. This paper reflects on the possible challenges that clinicians may encounter when using MAIN to assess young children who may have only been exposed to traditional Zulu folklore stories that differ in structure from the MAIN stories. We also consider the Southern African Story Grammar model that was proposed by Tappe (2018) as a better reflection of African storytelling than the classical Stein and Glenn (1979) story grammar model. We discuss how some aspects of the MAIN stories and assessment procedures may not resemble the typical stories or storytelling customs in traditional isiZulu-speaking populations and therefore compromise the ecological validity of MAIN. In this paper, our focus is on isiZulu, but our questions about the ecological validity of MAIN may also be relevant for other language groups and cultures in the growing international community of MAIN users.

Published: March 2023

This paper describes the Lithuanian version of the Multilingual Assessment tool for Narratives (MAIN) and presents research that used MAIN for narrative analysis of Lithuanian-speaking monolingual and bilingual typically-developing children and children with a language disorder. Our target group is preschool and primary school children, as we believe that narrative and general language skills at preschool and early school age should be investigated to establish the tendencies or even standards of this age group and to identify children who need language therapy or help in the learning process. This study is a contribution to the international network of MAIN by reinforcing a better understanding of narrative studies and the use of MAIN in Lithuanian research.

The study aims to investigate the effects of an online learning model, Read-Answer-Discuss-Explain-Create (RADEC), on the emergence of creative ideas and projects for 7th-grade students when designing local solutions to global warming problems. Case studies were used in this research by implementing learning in environmental science concepts. This one-shot case study research was conducted on 30 7th-grade students (16 boys and 14 girls) selected through the purposive sampling technique. The research was conducted in Bandung, Indonesia. Five stages are carried out in the RADEC learning model, including the Read-Answer stage, where students answered pre-learning questions outside the classroom; the DiscussExplain stage, where students responded to their pre-learning questions in small and large groups; and the Create stage, where students agreed on solutions to a problem and realised the product of a creative project. Qualitative data were collected through worksheets, posters, and guided interviews. Although students have not been able to demonstrate originality thinking skills, the implementation of the online RADEC model stimulated students’ fluency and flexibility thinking skills. This was evident from the many creative ideas or projects of students. Besides, students could decide on ideas or group projects to solve global warming problem with rational considerations. Although the online RADEC model has not been able to produce original creative products, its implementation has stimulated students to think creatively about solving global warming problems. In addition, the implications, limitations, advantages and potential of further research are discussed in this paper.

Hands-on laboratory activities are a vital aspect of chemistry education that can help students strengthen their understanding of chemistry’s core concepts and applications. Nevertheless, during the COVID-19 pandemic, students and teachers could not access laboratories. Thus, innovative pedagogical approaches are required to meet these challenges. The current study, therefore, examines the use of contemporary hybrid laboratory pedagogy to construct a simple spectrophotometer by implementing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) project-based learning to introduce systems thinking skills and measure the effectiveness of improving attitude. A quantitative approach, with one group pre-post design, was employed in this study. The subjects were 33 chemistry students from a state university in Bandung, Indonesia. A simple Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) was chosen as the topic of an engineering project given to students. The project was implemented over fourteen meetings designed in a hybrid laboratory activity. The students’ worksheets, questionnaires on students’ attitudes toward systems thinking skills, and a questionnaire on student attitudes toward STEM-project-based learning were used as research instruments. Additionally, interviews with selected students further supported the quantitative data. Following the intervention, a RASCH: racking and stacking analysis revealed that two of the eight systems thinking skills indicators showed noticeable results. Other results uncovered that the student-made simple AAS had an accuracy of 95.3% compared to commercial AAS. This study also demonstrated that students had a negative attitude toward implementing STEM project-based learning. In contrast, students’ attitudes towards systems thinking skills indicated positive results. Challenges and opportunities for further research are also discussed in this paper.

Published: March 2023

The majority of physically challenged and elderly people demand a lot of care when it comes to assistive technologies that can provide tailored services to their needs. The primary concern of advancement in Assistive technology is to address a wide variety of disabilities and intellectual impairments for societal benefits by reducing welfare costs and allowing for an efficient workforce. To better respond to changes brought on by modernity, it is necessary to understand how assistive technology interacts in that group. The broad range of assistive devices in the continuum of assistive technology can help people with various impairments. Based on the underlying technology, the Categorization of assistive devices has important implications for clinical usage when examined through the perspective of social phenomenon. In the realm of Assistive Technology, a consistent focus on the relationship between the individual and the supported activity within certain contexts is essential. Assistive technology can be viewed from the perspective of various performance areas. The Ontology-based Assistive Devices that are among the finest within common, everyday contexts for more relevant applications are interesting. This chapter explores all those essential elementary and general considerations of assistive devices that form the bases of Assistive technology and brings out the categories of assistive devices and the various application domains where assistive devices can be served as a derivative of a particular ontology. The chapter focuses on the various performance areas by addressing the issues associated with Assistive technology Practice.

Multimodal Fusion Framework: Emotion Recognition From Physiological Signals
Authors: Verma Gyanendra K.
Published: March 2023

This study presents a multimodal fusion framework for emotion recognition
from physiological signals. In contrast to emotion recognition through facial
expression, a large number of emotions can be recognized accurately through
physiological signals. The DEAP database, a benchmark multimodal database with
many collections of EEG and peripheral signals, is employed for experimentation. The
proposed method takes into account those features that are subject-independent and can
incorporate many more emotions. As it is possible to handle many channel features,
especially synchronous EEG channels, feature-level fusion is applied in this study. The
features extracted from EEG and peripheral signals include relative, logarithmic, and
absolute power energy of Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Theta. Experimental results
demonstrate that physiological signals' Theta and Beta bands are the most significant
contributor to the performance. On the other hand, SVM performs outstandingly.

Testing a Digital Health App for Patients With Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease: Mixed Methods Usability Study (Preprint)
Authors: Park Linda S , Kornfield Rachel , Yezihalem Mihret , Quanbeck Andrew , Mellinger Jessica , German Margarita
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is increasingly common and associated with serious and costly health consequences. Cessation of drinking can improve ALD morbidity and mortality; however, support for cessation is not routinely offered to those diagnosed with ALD, and continued drinking or resumption of drinking after diagnosis is common. Mobile health (mHealth) has the potential to offer convenient and scalable support for alcohol cessation to those diagnosed with ALD, but mHealth interventions for alcohol cessation have not been designed for or evaluated in a population with ALD.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to understand how individuals with ALD would perceive and use an mHealth tool for alcohol cessation and to gather their perspectives on potential refinements to the tool that would allow it to better meet their needs.

METHODS

We interviewed 11 individuals who attended clinic visits related to their ALD to elicit their needs related to support for alcohol cessation and views on how mHealth could be applied. After completing initial interviews (pre), participants were provided with access to an mHealth app designed for alcohol cessation, which they used for 1 month. Afterward, they were interviewed again (post) to give feedback on their experiences, including aspects of the app that met their needs and potential refinements. We applied a mixed methods approach, including a qualitative analysis to identify major themes from the interview transcripts and descriptive analyses of use of the app over 1 month.

RESULTS

First, we found that a diagnosis of ALD is perceived as a motivator to quit drinking but that patients had difficulty processing the overwhelming amount of information about ALD they received and finding resources for cessation of alcohol use. Second, we found that the app was perceived as usable and useful for supporting drinking recovery, with patients responding favorably to the self-tracking and motivational components of the app. Finally, patients identified areas in which the app could be adapted to meet the needs of patients with ALD, such as providing information on the medical implications of an ALD diagnosis and how to care for their liver as well as connecting individuals with ALD to one another via a peer-to-peer support forum. Rates of app use were high and sustained across the entire study, with participants using the app a little more than half the days during the study on average and with 100% (11/11) of participants logging in each week.

CONCLUSIONS

Our results highlight the need for convenient access to resources for alcohol cessation after ALD diagnosis and support the potential of an mHealth approach to integrate recovery support into care for ALD. Our findings also highlight the ways the alcohol cessation app should be modified to address ALD-specific concerns.
New Developmentalism and the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism: Policy Options for the Global South
Authors: Tawazun Ikhlas , Shafira Natasya Dewi
Published: March 2023

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), put forward by the European Union (EU), appeared as a new environmental trade policy that holds significance to the Global South. It necessitates the Global South countries to make changes in their development strategies to not only adapt to the CBAM, but to the overall shifting of the world’s economic growth pattern and sustainable development agenda from which it emerged. Against this backdrop, this article addresses how the Global South can adapt to the CBAM in particular and the larger pressure to transition to a more sustainable growth and development. This article uses qualitative methodology with data acquired through extensive desk research. Findings of this article show that new developmentalism is well suited to enhance the needed policy changes as the Global South can leverage its already-existing state capacity to effectively steer the transformation towards a more sustainable growth. This article is also equipped with possible policy options for the Global South as close examinations towards existing development policies of several Global South countries still list several challenges.
From Friction to Acceleration: China’s Ambition for a Post-Pandemic Tianxia World Order
Authors: Nauvarian Demas , Ma'rifat Filasafia Marsya
Published: March 2023

This paper explores the relation between the Covid-19 pandemic and China’s peaceful rise. In March 2020, the Covid-19 virus outbreak was declared by World Health Organization (WHO) as a global pandemic that knows no boundaries. While China received an enormous spotlight for being the ground-zero of the pandemic, China has managed to control the pandemic effectively. Not only that, China has also even been able to help other countries by providing Covid-19 assistance to other countries in need. More significantly, however, China was in a unique position when the pandemic hit—it was in a critical period for its rising era. China’s rise has been framed as a ‘peaceful rise’ (heping jueqi). On the other hand, the pandemic forced China to re-think its national power usage while still striving to achieve an idealized order of Tianxia—all-under-heaven. This research analyses how China’s pandemic cooperation is utilized in a greater framework of peaceful rise to accelerate the establishment of Tianxia world order. This research argues that the pandemic served as a critical juncture for the status-quo liberal international order, and China took the opportunity to indirectly disrupt the order. This is evident through two main pillars of China’s pandemic cooperation: (1) asserting self-reliance by strengthening national response; (2) establishing cooperation to put China as a ‘middle kingdom.’ This research concludes that China, in some ways, successfully transform the pandemic from friction to an acceleration factor for its peaceful rise.

The scarcity of medical equipment has been inevitable since the Covid-19 pandemic emerged in 2020. Developing countries, part of the Global South, might have unfortunate conditions due to their lack of medical equipment. As part of the Global South, China has been providing assistance, having Indonesia as one of its main recipients. This study focuses on China’s assistance and vaccine cooperation with Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the earlier outbreak, China has provided Indonesia with multiple assistance, such as PCR test kits, medical and N95 masks, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and then engaging on vaccine development. The study recognizes two types of interests, the normative and material ones, shaping China’s motives. By analysing both interests, it is found that the cooperation between China and Indonesia shows that China has allowed Indonesia to be actively involved in dealing with the impact of the global pandemic. In addition to solidarity (normative interest), China’s assistance is also a form of its effort to pursue economic expansion (material interest).

Debates y desafíos sobre la construcción de territorios de cuidado para el desarrollo humano de la primera infancia
Authors: García Montoya Juan Miguel
Published: March 2023

Este artículo revisa investigaciones recientes sobre el cuidado de la primera infancia desde una dimensión territorial. Se analizaron estudios con hasta cinco años de publicación en bases de datos y repositorios digitales a nivel latinoamericano. El análisis de esta información se hizo mediante una matriz de antecedentes que contrastó hipótesis, argumentos, marcos teóricos y metodológicos. Como resultados se encontró que, según el ámbito de acción territorial (familia, escuela, políticas públicas, educación no formal y territorios diversos) existen distintas concepciones sobre la niñez y enfoques para su intervención como base de los debates relevantes de actualidad sobre los cuidados de la infancia, entre otros, la noción de ciudadanía de la primera infancia vs. su ejercicio real; cuidar/atender vs. educar; transformar per se los arreglos familiares existentes vs. comprender el impacto subjetivo de la maternidad en cada mujer; los derechos de los niños y niñas vs. los derechos de las mujeres. Se proponen como temas que ameritan profundización para futuras investigaciones: 1. Estrategias para incentivar mayor responsabilidad de los hombres en las tareas del cuidado; 2. El papel de la oferta privada de cuidados en Latinoamérica; 3. Los efectos pospandemia en el aprendizaje; 4. Retos y ventajas del mundo digital como territorio tecnológicamente mediado desde la primera infancia. Como conclusión principal, se resalta la importancia de adscribir una perspectiva multiterritorial como estrategia para dar soluciones contextualizadas a los problemas de desarrollo humano de la primera infancia.

Abstract: An image is the most popular media format amongst the current modern digital generation. Encoding binary data within an image is an easy way to hide the secret image. Broadly speaking, steganography is the practice of concealing a file, message, image, or video within another file, message, image, or video. Steganography helps us as the intended secret message does not attract attention to itself as an object of scrutiny. Plainly visible encrypted messages might be better protected but they arouse interest and may in themselves be incriminating in countries in which encryption is illegal. In other words, steganography is more discreet than cryptography when we want to send secret information while also being easier to extract. The usual implementations tend to significantly lose the image quality and are also easily detectable. However, this implementation makes efforts to overcome the existing problems of image steganography with the help of a deep neural network which results in the generation of a final image that is almost identical to the original image and isn’t detectable easily.

In December 2019 an infection by a virus was discovered, finally declared by WHO as a Covid-19 pandemic. The first case in Indonesia was first identified in March 2020. Clinical complaints of COVID-19 patients are quite broad, ranging from asymptomatic, mild symptoms, pneumonia, severe pneumonia, ARDS, sepsis, to septic shock. The most common symptoms are fever, fatigue or myalgia, and dry cough. To be able to understand the symptoms of Covid-19, it is necessary to have sufficient knowledge to be able to take an attitude in dealing with the symptoms that arise. Efforts to increase knowledge and attitudes can be done through education. Purpose: The implementation of this education is expected to increase knowledge and attitudes towards the management of Covid-19 symptoms in employees. Methods:Education was conducted on 192 company “X” employees who were selected by simple random sampling. Service activities were carried out in April 2021 using an instrument in the form of a questionnaire. Results: In the analysis of the results, it is known that educational activities about the management of Covid-19 symptoms influence the knowledge and attitudes of employees about the management of Covid-19 symptoms. Productive aged 30-50 years have a good response to the increase in knowledge and attitudes. It also provides an increase in employee productivity.

In medical colleges, cadaveric dissection is an effective anatomy teaching method. Cadaveric dissections put students at the center of learning and show structures in their natural environment. However, most students dislike autopsy dissection since it's tedious and time-consuming. Thus, our study examined first-year medical students' attitudes toward dissection to learn anatomy. After the semester, students received a 3-domain questionnaire on preparedness, attitude, and restrictions. All information was gathered and recorded anonymously using Google forms. Each domain has many questions that add up to a score that shows how well they are prepared and how far online learning can go. One hundred MBBS first-year students participated in online anatomy lessons. After online courses, consenting students completed Google feedback forms regarding their experiences, which were examined and quantified. One hundred students completed the questionnaire and provided comments. Online courses were the most fantastic method to study human anatomy in medical school, according to 97.2%. Only 32.8% of students were uneasy, utilizing visuals to illustrate the softer aspects. Students' emotions and attitudes during corpse dissection varied by gender. Online was more appealing to males than women. Students prefer online courses over image-based ones because of the flexibility of time management and seating configuration. The statistical analysis revealed significant gender-related inequalities in student opinions. Other medical students showed similar variances at various phases of the research. The online anatomy classes for AVMC&H medical students were easy and enjoyable and utilized the "steeplechase" method. Our study shows the pros and cons of online education. Trainers/instructors should examine using online live forms as an instructional tool in anatomy training and generate new anatomy-related films for formal live teaching in the medical curriculum to accomplish this goal. However, additional study is needed to determine how much online education affects student learning and training.
