O isotônico é uma bebida esportiva destinada a atletas. De modo geral apresenta corantes sintéticos na sua composição, e estes por sua vez podem trazer malefícios a saúde e ao meio ambiente, por isso tem se discutido a substituição de corantes sintéticos por corantes de fonte naturais. Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar o efeito profilático do isotônico produzido a partir da casca do fruto Oenocarpus bacaba sobre o estresse oxidativo em camundongos induzidos pela ciclofosfamida (CYP), bem como avaliação da atividade antimutagênica. Os animais receberam 15 dias de tratamento com o isotônico (solução 2%) e injeção intraperitoneal de CYP (100 mg kg-1) ou soro fisiológico (0,9%) no 15º dia e eutanásia no 16° dia para retirada do fígado e da medula óssea para análises. O isotônico preveniu a diminuição dos antioxidantes enzimático (superóxido dismutase, SOD) e não enzimático (ácido ascórbico, ASA), promoveu a redução da peroxidação lipídica (substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico, TBARS) e foi antimutagênico no teste do micronúcleo. O estudo mostrou que o isotônico foi benéfico contra eventos oxidativos e preveniu danos ao DNA.

Prophylactic action of isotonic made from the peels of Oenocarpus bacaba Mart. (Arecaceae) fruit against oxidative stress induced by cyclophosphamide in mice
 
ABSTRACT: Isotonic is a sports drink intended for athletes. In general, it has synthetic dyes in its composition, and these, in turn, can harm health and the environment, so the replacement of synthetic dyes by natural source dyes has been discussed. This study aimed to investigate the prophylactic effect of the isotonic produced from the peel of the Oenocarpus bacaba fruit on oxidative stress in mice induced by cyclophosphamide (CYP), as well as to evaluate the antimutagenic activity. The animals received 15 days of isotonic treatment (solution 2%) and intraperitoneal injection of CYP (100 mg kg-1) or saline solution (0.9%) on the 15th day and euthanasia on the 16th day to remove the liver and bone marrow for analyses. The isotonic prevented the decrease of enzymatic (superoxide dismutase, SOD) and non-enzymatic (ascorbic acid, ASA) antioxidants, promoted the reduction of lipid peroxidation (substances reactive to thiobarbituric acid, TBARS) and was antimutagenic in the micronucleus test. The study showed that isotonic protects against oxidative events and prevents DNA damage.
Keywords: antimutagenic; antioxidant; anthocyanins; Amazonian fruit; nutraceuticals.
JURISDICTIONAL PROBLEM IN ENVIRONMENTAL LITIGATION IN NIGERIA: LESSONS FROM NEW SOUTH WALES
Authors: Alatise Taofeeq Nasir
Published: August 2023

An increase in industrial activities, especially in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria comes with the attendant rise in environmental abuses by multinational companies. Income from oil exploration is the major source of revenue for the Nigerian government. However, over the years, the activities of major oil companies in the oil-rich Niger Delta region have caused and continue to cause monumental damage to the local communities and indeed, the environment. Efforts by successive administrations to address this issue have yielded few results. This development means that victims of environmental abuse and indeed environmental activists have only the court to approach for any remedy. In Nigeria, it is only the Federal High Court that has exclusive jurisdiction to entertain any dispute arising from mines and minerals, including oil and gas exploration. Apart from the significant delay occasioned by congestion of cases, the composition of the Federal High Court has no regard for expert personnel in environmental science who are capable of giving informed decisions that would improve access to environmental justice. This article examines the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court in relation to environmental matters and argues that the court as presently constituted is not better placed to ensure access to environmental justice. This article employs doctrinal legal research methodology and content analysis of both primary and secondary legal sources relating to the practice of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, and Land and Environment Court of New South Wales of Australia. The article argues in favour of establishing a specialised environmental court in Nigeria as a superior court with a comprehensive jurisdiction to dispose of environmental-related matters.

Relevance of the research. Since ancient times, man's thirst for rivalry and selfdevelopment has given birth to various competitive disciplines. Practical shooting is a type of shooting sport that aims to organize, within the framework of sports competitions, shooting exercises that require the shooters to implement the techniques and methods of firing that most fully correspond to various cases of using firearms. In practical shooting, competitions are held for several types of firearms: "Pistol", "Rifle", "Carbine". The purpose of the article is to determine the angular indicators of biopairs of the musculoskeletal system at different moments of time while athletes who specialize in practical shooting with a pistol, using the "ski", "X-shaped" and "low" steps are moving. Research material and methods. 10 qualified athletes who specialize in practical pistol shooting took part in the research. Each athlete made 5 attempts using the "ski", "X-shaped" and "low" steps. It is important to note that there were no restrictions on the choice of the speed of movement of the athlete, the speed of execution of a series of shots during the attempts. Athletes were oriented to ensure that each shot was accurate in a series of shooting, with its execution in a minimum period of time, which actually largely determines the sports result in practical shooting. We conducted an experimental study in laboratory conditions using the opticalelectronic 3D system of registration and analysis of human movements "Qualisys". The results obtained in the research process were processed using the methods of mathematical statistics. Work results. The conducted biomechanical analysis revealed differences in the biomechanical structure of the technique of different ways of movement ("ski", "X- shaped" and "low" step) of athletes during shooting. Prospects for further research include the development of technology for the formation of the technique of moving athletes in practical shooting.

Political Finance Assessment of Thailand
Authors: Sirivunnabood Punchada
Published: August 2023

Thailand has made several efforts to reform key aspects of its political finance system, including regulations relating to funding for political parties and election campaigns. Yet, several challenges remain that merit constant improvements and innovation to regulate political finance and put appropriate systems and processes in place to ensure enforcement. As of 2023, no systematic review of the effectiveness of party finance regulations has been undertaken in Thailand. This Report intends to fill this gap by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the current political finance regulatory framework in the country as well as examining the challenges of implementation. The Report focuses on the building blocks of political finance regulations: public funding mechanisms, regulations on private funding, regulations on spending, reporting and disclosure of income and expenditures, oversight mechanisms and sanctions. Based on the findings, the Report provides concrete recommendations for consideration by policymakers, political parties, the Election Commission of Thailand and other stakeholders. The Report is part of a larger International IDEA initiative to review political finance systems in selected countries in an effort to advance an evidence-based global policy debate on money in politics.
A SECURITY MECHANISM FOR INCREASING THE LEVEL OF COMPETITIVENESS OF ENTERPRISES UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF MARITAL STATE
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, BOCHKO Olena
Published: August 2023

The article reveals the essence of the security mechanism, which ensures an increase in the level of competitiveness of enterprises under martial law. It was established that the security mechanism can be implemented both by the state and by the enterprise. Security in information technology and cyber security is especially important because, in today’s world, information is a valuable asset that needs to be protected from unauthorized access, use, and damage. This aspect can manifest both at the level of the state and at the level of the enterprise. The purpose of this article is to study the security mechanisms that contribute to increasing the level of competitiveness of enterprises under martial law. In the process of writing the article, various general scientific and special research methods were applied. In particular, deductive and inductive methods were used to study directions for the implementation of the security mechanism. The graphic method was used to visualize the research results. The abstract-logical method was used for theoretical generalizations and the formation of conclusions. The main purpose of the security mechanism is to prevent unwanted events and ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data, systems, and resources. The security mechanism helps to eliminate risks related to intrusion, hacking, fraud, data loss, and other threats. It can fully prevent unauthorized use, access, or modification of data or resources and ensure that only authorized users are allowed to maintain access to confidential information or operate the system. The main stages of developing a security mechanism are threat analysis, planning, development, testing, implementation, maintenance, and updating. The security mechanism for increasing the level of competitiveness of enterprises focuses on the development and implementation of measures to protect employees, ensuring protection against cyber-attacks and cyber-espionage; the implementation of flexible production systems; the development of mechanisms for rapid response to changes in external and internal conditions; the establishment of relations and cooperation with government bodies and regulators; and maintaining trust and cooperation with the public. It is substantiated that the development of a security mechanism is a complex and long-term process based on the acquired experience and specialized knowledge in the field of security for its successful implementation.
Nachvollziehbarkeit als Kriterium für die Respektabilität von Sterbewünschen? Eine Kritische Auseinandersetzung mit Bettina Schöne-seiferts ,,flankiertem Bewertungssubjektivismus“
Authors: Hallich Oliver

On 26 February 2020, the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany pronounced a judgement that the prohibition of assisted suicide services set out in § 217 of the Criminal Code is void. It thereby reestablished the legal state that had obtained before 2015. Furthermore, it defined
the right to die as an autonomy-based right, thereby dissociating the right to take one???s life from states of extreme suffering caused by illness. The judgement implies that one can, in principle, resort to assistance for suicide even in the absence of illness and suffering. In this contribution,
I deal with the problems that arise as a consequence of dissociating legitimate assisted suicide from states of illness. I analyze Bettina Schöne-Seifert???s suggestion to regard an understandable (,,nachvollziehbar“) wish to die as a wish that is protected by the right to
autonomy. It turns out that the criterion of understandability is deficient: it either commits us to regarding every wish to die as understable or it undermines the anti-paternalistic requirement of respecting the patient???s autonomy

Gonarthrosis is a chronic degenerative-inflammatory disease of the knee joint in which all components of the joint are affected. In current clinical guidelines for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee, the first step in therapy is the prescription of symptom-modifying drugs with delayed action. One of the most well-studied and effective of these drugs is chondroitin sulfate. A promising remedy for the treatment of gonarthrosis is intra-articular injections, primarily of high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid preparations, which have proven effective in clinical practice. Their use at an early stage of the disease can contribute to a more complete implementation of the potential of these drugs. The purpose — to study the effect of the combined use of chondroitin sulfate and the Revisk synovial fluid prosthesis on reducing the severity of pain and improving functionality in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Material and methods. 60 patients with stage I–II gonarthrosis according to Kellgren-Lawrence, with intensity of pain according to VAS ≥ 50 mm, and with algofunctional Lequesne index ≥ 5 points were divided into three comparable groups of 20 people. All patients had no contraindications for intramuscular injection of chondroitin sulfate and intraarticular injection of hyaluronic acids, there were no anamnestic indications of their intolerance. In the comparison groups, patients received monotherapy with chondroitin sulfate intramuscularly (group 1) and hyaluronic acid 2.2% (group 2), in the main group, patients received combined therapy with chondroitin sulfate intramuscularly and Revisk intraarticular hyaluronic acid. The effectiveness of therapy was assessed by the dynamics of pain according to the VAS, the algofunctional index of Lequesne, the WOMAC index, and the EQ-5D questionnaire. Results. With the combined use of chondroitin sulfate and the Revisk synovial fluid prosthesis, a clinically more significant decrease in pain syndrome and an improvement in functional parameters were revealed than with monotherapy with chondroitin sulfate, and than with a single administration of hyaluronic acid preparations. At the end of the course of therapy, the severity of the pain syndrome decreased by 75.57%. Conclusions. The data obtained allow the use of both drugs in the complex therapy of knee osteoarthritis in patients with comorbidity. The combined use of chondroitin sulfate and Revisk synovial fluid prosthesis in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee joints reduces the severity of pain, improves functional activity, improves the quality of life of patients.

From Loss to Hope: A New Story for a Generation
Authors:   Andrews University, Paquini Rogelio
Published: August 2023

Certain events in history change the story of a generation. Wars, terrorist attacks, and COVID-19 are examples of such events. For this generation of young people, already suffering from the highest levels of depression and anxiety in history, the pandemic carved on their minds a narrative of despair and a dim future. Members of Generation Z, especially those in high school during the pandemic and younger members of the generation, had been affected the most. Studies on neuroscience have discovered the ability of the brain to be re-molded. Through the Scriptures God had shown his intention to change the story of humanity. Just like Jesus changed the story of humanity, as his church, it is our turn to change the story of a generation.
Purposely Changing Church Culture when a Pandemic Forces Church Change: How the COVID Pandemic Impacted One Large SDA Church
Authors:   Andrews University, Case Steve , Ferguson Benji ,   Carmichael Seventh-day Adventist Church
Published: August 2023

The Carmichael SDA Church, located in the suburbs of Sacramento, California, seemed to be a gem in the Northern California Conference, with the largest membership, highest tithe, and largest pastoral staff. The pandemic put a halt to most of this church’s ministry, exposing some weaknesses and preventing the ministry it had developed over the years. Simultaneously, new forms of ministry sprung forth because of the sudden changes. The long-term impact of the pandemic challenges this church to move forward in new ways rather than attempting a restart as though nothing happened. This is a case study of how one congregation responded to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prevenção do Câncer Cérvico-Uterino: Rastreamento de 22.114 Pacientes Pela Citolociaexfoliativa e Pela Colposcopia

Published: August 2023

Analisaram, os autores, o comportamento da citologia esfoliativa vaginal e da colposcopia no rastreamento do câncer uterino em 22.114 pacientes. Enfatiza-se, de início, que das pacientes estudadas, apenas 1.327 não se submeteram à colposcopia (6% de falha). Dividiu-se as pacientes em três grupos, assim chamados A, B e C, estando o grupo A subdividido em dois grupos, A1 e A2 O subgrupo A1 correspondeu às pacientes com citologia normal (21.629). Destas, 7.968 apresentaram alguma imagem colposcópica suspeita que motivou a feitura de biopsias, as quais, todavia, não desvelaram qualquer lesão pré-maligna ou maligna. O subgrupo A2 correspondeu à 34 pacientes (com citologia normal) que se submeteram à biopsia por indicação colposcópica e, o resultado anátomo-patológico, evidenciou lesões displásicas ou neoplásicas. O grupo B correspondeu a 420 pacientes com citologia anormal (classes III, IV ou V) e que, biopsadas, mostraram-se portadoras de lesões benignas (91) e malignas (211). Finalmente, o grupo C correspondeu a 31 pacientes com citologia negativa e que não se submeteram à colposcopia, porém tiveram diagnóstico histológico proveniente de biopsias ou curetagens indicadas, apenas, por dados clínicos. Dentre os três grupos, pôde-se diagnosticar 200 casos de tumores malignos (57 intraepiteliais e 106 invasivos), além de 67 displasias. Estudam, os autores, a incidência dos diversos tipos de tumores e a respectiva prevalência segundo as diversas faixas etárias. Até certo ponto, confirmam que as displasias, cronologicamente, precedem os carcinomas intra-epiteliais, assim como estes se comportam semelhantemente em relação aos invasivos. Verificaram maior incidência de citologias classe III nas pacientes mais jovens e, de classes IV e V nas mais idosas, acompanhando o comportamento das displasias, do carcinoma in situ e do invasor. Não encontraram relação entre tricomoníase e resultados citológicos falso-positivos. Por fim, asseguram que tanto a colpocitologia como a colposcopia fornecem resultados falso-positivos e falso-negativos, mas que ambos os métodos se completam quando se quer, efetivamente, rastrear pacientes no tocante às lesões pré-malignas ou malignas do cérvice.
Effects of leonardite and lignite on blood parameters in rats exposed to lead acetate
Authors: Varava M.
Published: August 2023

The study aimed to research in vivo changes in the hematological and biochemical parameters of laboratory rats' blood when they were continuously exposed to a moderate dose of lead acetate while receiving humic feed additives made of leonardite and lignite. Two-month-old white rats were used to assess the detoxifying properties of the humic compounds leonardite and lignite. The analog pair approach was used to create four groups of eight animals from 32 male laboratory rats for the study. Rats received a pre-meal injection of lead acetate at a dose of 7 mg/100 g of animal weight (1/110 LD50) using a veterinary feeding needle. By creating solutions from lignite and leonardite at a dosage of 18 and 25 mg/kg depending on the active ingredient, humic feed additives were supplied to animals. It has been demonstrated that lignite- and leonardite-based feed additives may affect the morphological parameters of lead acetate-treated rats' blood, including hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocyte, and platelet count. These parameters were very near to the levels of the intact rats, which suggests that these humic feed additives may have an anti-anemic impact. The effects of feed additives from leonardite and lignite on laboratory rats in groups that were also exposed to a toxic agent for all 21 days of the experiment led to the normalization of markers of the state of protein metabolism in the group of intact animals (serum protein, albumins, urea, creatinine), particularly activity of the enzyme’s aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase. As one of the most crucial indicators of lipid metabolism together with cholesterol, the concentration of triglycerides was slightly lower in the humic substances treated groups than in the intact animals. It was discovered that using a feed supplement made from leonardite in a dosage of 18 mg/kg, which contained more fulvic acids than lignite, led to more favorable blood test results in the research group.

Published: August 2023

O presente artigo explora a execução de alimentos no Código de Processo Civil de 2015, com foco na fase de cumprimento de sentença e de execução, inclusive quando de título extrajudicial. Utiliza como metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica e doutrinária, a leitura de legislações acerca do tema e pesquisa jurisprudencial, passando pela análise do material. Tem como objetivo demonstrar as diretrizes a serem seguidas e as alterações ocorridas no âmbito da execução de alimentos desde a reforma de 2005, que alterou o Código de Processo Civil de 1973, e culminando nas disposições trazidas pelo atual Código. O artigo abrange assuntos importantes ao tema de alimentos, como a prisão civil do devedor, penhora de bens e salário, possibilidade de cumulação de medidas, protesto de título e inclusão do devedor no cadastro de proteção ao crédito, execução de título extrajudicial e possibilidade de ajuizar ação de alimentos ainda que já exista acordo extrajudicial. Fica observado que o Código de Processo Civil de 2015 buscou tornar a execução de alimentos mais célere e eficaz, inclusive permitindo a adoção de medidas executivas atípicas para satisfazer o direito. No entanto, mesmo diante de um processo facilitado, o abandono material e a alienação parental continuam sendo fatos costumeiros no Brasil.

Проаналізовано конкретні приклади цифрових інструментів для організації читацької діяльності учнів. З огляду на те, що використання ІКТ на уроках літературного читання вимагає певної підготовки, оскільки викладачі повинні знати, як використовувати комп’ютери та інші цифрові пристрої, а також як вибирати та застосовувати новітні ресурси, які відповідають навчальним цілям уроку, було представлено основні виклики, з якими зустрічається учитель під час впровадження ІКТ. Особлива увага була приділена психолого-фізіологічним особливостям учнів, які можуть обмежувати застосування новітніх засобів під час занять. Наприклад, деякі діти можуть мати проблеми із зором або концентрацією, що потребує врахування при використанні інформаційних засобів під час навчання учнів початкової школи. Інформаційно-комунікаційні технології у статті розглядаються як потужний інструмент, який можна використовувати для підвищення ефективності навчання на уроках літературного читання. Вони можуть допомогти вчителям втілити в життя різноманітні дидактичні завдання, зробити освітній процес цікавішим та захопливим, а також підвищити мотивацію учнів до вивчення сучасної та класичної дитячої літератури. Застосування ІКТ на уроках літературного читання може охоплювати використання електронних книг, веб-ресурсів, інтерактивних вправ і ігор, мультимедійних презентацій, відеоматеріалів та інших цифрових інструментів. Вони допомагають залучити учнів до активної пізнавальної діяльності, розвивати навички читання, розуміння та аналізу текстів, а також сприяють розвитку критичного мислення та творчих здібностей. Таким чином, стаття розкриває, що використання ІКТ на уроках літературного читання у початковій школі може бути корисним інструментом для залучення учнів до навчального процесу, розвитку їхніх читацьких здібностей та мовленнєвої компетентності, а також підвищення загальної мотивації до навчання.
The Meaning of 'Meat': Boundary Objects in the Promotional Cultures of Plant-Based Meat
Authors: Phillips Ryan J.
Published: August 2023

This dissertation interrogates the use of boundary objects in the rhetorical framing strategies of plant-based meat companies. I address the framing, categorization, and boundary work of foods such as "vegan", "meat", and "burger" from a Bourdieuian, class-focused perspective. I use rhetorical framing analysis to critically engage with the Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods burger campaigns--including CEO interviews (with Patrick Brown and Ethan Brown), trade journal articles (Fortune and Business Insider), company websites (Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, A&W, and Burger King), Twitter posts (@AWCanada and @BurgerKing), and consumer engagements on Twitter--between 2014-2018. This project contributes to the theoretical refinement of boundary objects by demonstrating how they can be used to rhetorically situate non-dominant social actors within the categorical boundaries of dominant groups. In this case, plant-based meat companies redefine "meat" along chemical and nutritional lines in order to situate themselves and their products within the privileged socio-cultural category of meat. I also enhance the usefulness of rhetorical framing analysis as a method of studying communication by adding agenda-dismissal to the methodological repertoire of agenda-setting theory. I find that, while vegetarianism and veganism have historically constituted anti-consumerist subjectivities, Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, and the rhetoric of plant-based meat serve to reinforce a dominant ideological frame of individuals-as-consumers by encouraging people to consume more "good" food. From a class-based perspective, this rhetorical strategy places the consumerist logic of plant-based meats at odds with the conspicuous and distinguished consumption ideals of bourgeois veganism. Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, and plant-based meat rhetorics thus perpetuate neoliberal hegemony by emphasizing a nutricentric framing of food products, which dismisses other relevant social, cultural, and economic elements of food. Finally, I use this project as an interjection into the larger field of cultural studies in order to identify and name an emerging sub-discipline of critical analysis: "meat studies". Ultimately, I argue that the rhetoric of plant-based meat companies reinforce rather than challenge both meat's privileged cultural status and the foundations upon which consumer capitalism exists.
Sliding Into Visibility - The Visible for a Change: Contemporary Lesbian Artists, U.S.A. Project
Authors: Griffin Sarah
Published: August 2023

The following thesis places the Visible for a Change: Contemporary Lesbian Artists, U.S.A project within the history of queer art and queer curation. The project was initiated by a group of graduate students as part of the Sixth Annual Colloquium Series on Gender, Culture, and Society, held at the Schlesinger Library, Harvard University in 1991. The project was created in order to leave Harvard with a usable archive of contemporary lesbian art, but it became lost and forgotten within the institutionâ€™s larger collection. The research undertaken for this thesis aims to contextualize the project within the history of queer art and add to the often-unsung history of lesbian artists. This thesis looks to historically situate the project, the physical manifestation of the resulting exhibition, the subsequent Visible for a Change archive, public response to the project, and the importance of the slideshow within queer art history.
Binding the Archive: The Scrapbooks of Carl Van Vechten
Authors: Browne Jordan
Published: August 2023

This thesis brings together two linked concerns regarding Carl Van Vechtenâ€™s scrapbooks. The first part identifies and explores camp, how Van Vechten employs it, and its connection to pre-Stonewall gay male sexuality. I explore Van Vechten's camp response through his collection of homoerotic ephemera to illustrate not only his inner desires but also how Van Vechtenâ€™s consideration in arranging the materials was central to his camp sensibility. The second part examines practical preservation concerns pertaining to the scrapbooks, identifying specific issues and potential solutions as to how to care for them with particular focus on the photography and newspaper clippings that together allow for the emergence of Van Vechten's camp sensibility. While scrapbooks like Van Vechtenâ€™s pose unique challenges for the archivist and preservation specialist, I examine how professionals can intervene to mitigate material degradation and ensure that they remain preserved and accessible to future researchers.
ReRender: Reality Rendering

As technology and social media platforms consume traditional social spaces regularly found in the built world, a deficit of Third Space is developing. When communities become reliant on devices to communicate, those users lose the social security once provided by a built space. Architects may ameliorate this deficit through integrating digital systems within their designs. With personal devices becoming wayfinding, program defining, and space crafting tools, perceptions of space have expanded beyond physical barriers. This augmentation of digital spaces in the built world may provide opportunities for communities to generate a long-lasting sense of place.

Authors: Ampa Andi Tenri , Nappu Syamsiarna , Basri D Muhammad
Published: August 2023

Teaching English in Indonesia should get attention to face the era of globalization. The initial survey shows that students still face problems or difficulties in learning English, especially productive skills. So, the study aimed to investigate the kinds of instructional design models (IDM) conducted by lecturers, to expose the stages of IDM, and to describe the learning achievement of the students’ English productive skills. The subjects of this study were lecturers who taught English productive skills, namely speaking and writing skills, and the fourth semester students who had programed these courses. The procedures were (1) a preliminary survey of learning problems, (2) designing research instruments, (3) validating instruments, (4) collecting data through instruments, and (5) analyzing and interpreting the results of data analysis. The instrument was a questionnaire that aimed to obtain information from lecturers, while the test aimed to measure the achievement of students’ English productive skills. The results showed that the lecturers used several kinds of IDM with various stages, and the students’ English achievement was in good classification for speaking skills and fair for writing skills. Therefore, the lecturers were considerably required to choose the kinds and various stages of IDM in their teaching and learning processes.
Personality, Sexuality, and Beauty Standards: A Cross-Cultural Exploration of Canadian and German Women's Cosmetic Surgery Behaviours and Attitudes
Authors: Davies Megan E
Published: August 2023

This study investigated the impact of various psychosocial factors on behaviours and attitudes towards cosmetic surgery among Canadian (n=97) and German (n=115) women, considering cultural differences and beauty standards. The primary objective was to provide valuable insights for physicians and psychologists when selecting suitable candidates for elective procedures, as current pre-surgical assessments often fail to integrate the psychological perspective. A correlation analysis was undergone and revealed that neuroticism moderately influenced interest and motivation for cosmetic surgery in both populations. Additionally, the Canadian group exhibited a moderate negative correlation between motivation for cosmetic surgery and early sexual experiences, effectively destigmatizing cosmetic surgery as a social indicator of early sexual behaviours. However, this correlation was not observed in the German cohort. Notably, Canadians reported a higher overall motivation for undergoing cosmetic surgery compared to Germans, as confirmed by a t-test. Surgeons should inquire about sexuality and personality in pre-surgical consultations to determine candidates who may benefit from the procedure and minimize harm. Future research should develop a standardized test for replication and include diverse demographics.
Does Cancel Culture Affect the Bottom Line? A Timeseries Analysis of Sentiment and Emotion on the Efficacy of the Call to Cancel Against Abercrombie & Fitch
Authors: Reyes-Fournier Paul , Reyes-Fournier Elizabeth , Bracken David
Published: August 2023

Social media polemics that call to cancel, boycott, or otherwise disrupt a business have become endemic to the medium. The following case study of Abercrombie & Fitch explores the effectiveness of these “call to cancel” and, by analyzing the sentiment of the tweets, a time-series regression analysis was used to develop a predictive model of correlations to fiscal indicators. Sentiment of Twitter data was collected for each fiscal quarter for 10 years. Results showed a spike in negative sentiment values that corresponded to the call to cancel. The polemic differences were strongly correlated to adjusted sales. Results showed a structural break in sales. The sudden change in sentiment preceded a shock to the fiscal system of the company. Individual emotions were ultimately found to be representing two factors. The implications of this study lend credence to the construct of cancelling while also calling into question the idea of separate emotions.

Consciousness and Afterlife in the Evolution of Intelligence
Authors: Senarath Dayathilake Kande Lekamalaya
Published: August 2023

To date, no scientific study has found reliable evidence of an afterlife; the mechanism of consciousness is two of the most challenging questions. Here, I show the hypotheses for consciousness and the probability of an afterlife through three simple thought experiments and theoretical evidence. I demonstrate the problems of consciousness, intelligence, and the brain's relationship with remaining neuroscience, physics, and psychology; and why new physics, psychology, and philosophy are needed to fulfill the gaps in research objectives. Furthermore, I discuss how and why I suggest great probability of a continuum of consciousness - the afterlife. Findings show no alternatives other than the life after death. In other words, I did not find different ways to discuss the results of those experiments yet. I show how and why new findings might help evolve well-being and make a better world.
