Introduction: Garcinia kola, Cymbopogan citratus and Bryophyllium pinnatum are multipurpose plants used in diverse ways for medicinal and nutritional purposes across regions of the world, with their benefits yet to be fully exploited. Aim: This study investigated the antimicrobial effects of aqueous extracts of these plants against bacterial sputum isolates of consenting cough patients. Method: Isolates were identified based on colonial, morphological, gram staining, relevant biochemical and molecular characterization. Aqueous extracts of individual plants, binary, and ternary combinations were used for antimicrobial studies on four isolated bacterial species. The response of the bacterial isolates to aqueous extracts of the seeds of G. kola and leaves of B. pinnatum and C. citratus were determined using lactate dehydrogenase method and mean inhibitory concentrations (MIC) determined. Results: Streptococcus specie infection had the highest prevalence of 90% followed by Klebsiella pneumonia (85%), Staphylococcus aureus (80%), and E. coli (30%) among the cough patients. Co-bacterial infection was seen in 95% of the cases. Responses of the bacterial isolates to the plants’ aqueous extracts were dose-dependent. Dehydrogenase activities of the bacterial isolates were significantly and progressively inhibited by the aqueous extracts of the individual, binary and ternary combinations of the plants. However, MIC was significantly lowest in the ternary combination compared to the individual and binary extract formulations. Conclusion: The study revealed that individual, binary, and ternary combinations of the plant extracts have significant antibacterial properties, with ternary combination of 40% G. kola, 30% B. pinnatum and 30% C. citratus demonstrating the highest potency. The ternary combination of the extracts could potentially be exploited for treatment of bacterial-induced cough. However, more research is needed to further evaluate the plants’ safety and effectiveness for clinical use in humans.

BUDAYA PATRIARKI DALAM TRADISI PERNIKAHAN DI SUMATERA BARAT
Authors: Ramadhani Yerix
Published: July 2024

This study explores the role of patriarchy in marriage traditions in West Sumatra and how social transformation affects these dynamics. Although the Minangkabau people are known for their matrilineal system, patriarchal values are still dominant in daily life, especially in marriage. Through a qualitative approach, this study uses in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation to collect data from various related parties, including married couples, traditional leaders, and local cultural experts. The findings suggest that patriarchy plays an important role in determining gender roles in wedding processions, with men often placed as leaders and decision-makers. However, there are signs of change driven by education and urbanization, which is pushing young couples to demand gender equality in marriage. This study also found resistance from the older generation and rural communities who still hold fast to patriarchal values. Thus, this study fills the gap in the literature by providing insight into the experience of couples in navigating patriarchal norms and the implications of social change on marriage traditions in West Sumatra

Published: July 2024

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is currently a top priority for global health. Commonly offered anti-hypertensive pharmacological therapies such as ACE-inhibitors are known to have side effects in long-term use, unlike herbal glucomannan, which has been used as a treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to see what effect applying glucomannan supplements for 6 hours had on blood pressure parameters obtained from the wistar rat subjects who had hypertension. Twenty five male Wistar rats with normal systolic blood pressure (sBP) ± 110 mmHg were involved in the study; they received a 10% high salt diet for 14 days. They were divided into 4 groups: the positive control group G1 received captopril at 25 mg/kg of body weight and the treatment groups G2  50 mg KGM. Blood pressure measurement using sphygmonanometers with diastolic blood pressure (dBP) is the exclusion criterion of the study. Data analysis is done with a paired sample t-test. Blood pressure in each group decreased after 6 hours of intervention, but the most significant results were obtained in the G5 group that received glucomannan 100 mg/kg bb. In conclusion, Glucomannan can lower blood pressure; this potential is the same as that of red ginger, which modulates the production of angiotensin-corventing enzymes.

Classification of network traffic using machine learning methods
Authors: Globa Larysa , Astrakhantsev Andrii , Tsukanov Serhii
Published: July 2024

The growth of traffic sources and their diversity leads to increased traffic volumes. This makes existing traffic classification methods less effective. In addition, the expansion of the range of services provided leads to the emergence of new threats and vulnerabilities in the network. The task of detecting threats at an early stage is very important, as losses from threats have increased significantly worldwide in recent years, and early detection will help minimize possible risks. At the same time, implementing artificial intelligence software into all network elements, as part of the 5G/6G concept, allows part of the attack detection procedures to be transferred to the network edge, primarily to base stations. The use of intelligent traffic classification methods will help to increase the efficiency of information processing, as well as detect anomalous traffic blocks and block their sources. The paper is devoted to the urgent task of analyzing the efficiency (accuracy, speed) of traffic classification methods with subsequent detection of malicious traffic. According to the results, the best methods for accuracy and speed are Decision Tree (DT) and Random Forest (RF). The optimal sets of hyper-parameters have been determined for all the analyzed methods. The next most efficient are multilayer perceptron neural networks and methods based on rules and fuzzy sets, but both algorithms require much longer training time than all others. The scientific novelty of the work is due to the analysis of the possibilities of applying classification methods based on rules and fuzzy sets and a comprehensive analysis of the performance of the studied methods on a real dataset. These traffic classification and anomaly detection methods should be implemented at base stations to increase the security and resilience of mobile networks.

PT XYZ is a manufacturing company that produces electronics. During the production process, a significant issue has been identified - a high number of defective products due to dust contamination. This research is designed to analyze the factors contributing to these defects during the visual inspection process, using the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method. This research can identify the factors causing failure, the severity level, and the probability of negative effects of the failure. Additionally, it allows us to determine the corrective actions or improvements needed to prevent or reduce the risk of product failure during the visual inspection process. The results of the research indicate that the primary cause of the NG dust-type products, based on the highest Risk Priority Number (RPN) value of 320, is operator skills. This factor is a potential cause of the NG dust-type products. Therefore, analysis and simulation of proposed improvements are being conducted, to reduce the number of NG products in the visual inspection process.

Published: July 2024

Background: The importance of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification in tumorigenesis and progression have been highlighted. This study aimed to investigate the modification of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) by m6A and its role in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods: Bioinformatics was employed to predict differential genes related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in OSCC. Seventeen pairs of OSCC and paracancerous tissue samples were collected. The impact of IRS1 on OSCC cell growth and EMT was evaluated. The fluctuations in IRS1 enrichment and the involvement of p53/Line-1 were investigated. Results: IRS1 was highly expressed in OSCC. IRS1 silencing decreased OSCC cell proliferation and increased apoptosis. IRS1 silencing hindered EMT by regulating related markers. IRS1 silencing upregulated p53 and downregulated Line-1 ORF1p. The p53 inhibition reversed the effects of IRS1 silencing and induced EMT in OSCC cells. Furthermore, the m6A modification of IRS1 was increased in OSCC cells. IRS1 were positively regulated by the m6A regulators methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) and YTH domain-containing protein 1 (YTHDC1). IRS1 bound to YTHDC1, and YTHDC1 knockdown inhibited the IRS1 nuclear export. The obesity-associated protein (FTO) negatively regulated IRS1, and FTO overexpression reversed the IRS1-induced OSCC tumor growth. Conclusions: m6A methylation-mediated IRS1 regulated EMT in OSCC through p53/Line-1. These findings provide potential therapeutic strategies for managing OSCC.

This study’s purpose is to deepen the understanding of the impact of psychological trauma on children and adolescents living in Ukraine, particularly those affected by the ongoing Russian invasion. For this purpose, it explores a psychological rehabilitation program for children affected by the war in the country, trying to find out if there are differences in their mental health outcomes, experiences, and physiological measures before and after the intervention. Aim. The study aims to contribute to developing effective instruments to mitigate the adverse effects of trauma and enhance the resilience of affected children and adolescents. Methods: The research process utilized various assessment tools and measures to evaluate the impact of the psychological rehabilitation program Sheltered by Love. The assessment tools included the Childhood and Adolescent Trauma Screening (CATS), Children’s Impact of Events Scale (CIES), physiological indicators such as pulse and heart rate variability, and the GOODENOUGH DRAW - A - PERSON TEST. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics and paired samples T-test, were conducted using R version 4.2.2 and MS Excel tools to assess mental well-being before and after the intervention. The sample consisted of 77 participants aged 8-17, residing in Ukraine’s front-line zones, who attended the psychological rehabilitation program. Results. The study findings provide evidence of the efficacy of the Sheltered by Love psychological rehabilitation program. Post-intervention analyses demonstrated statistically significant reductions in post-traumatic stress symptoms, including intrusive thoughts, emotional distress, and avoidance behaviors. Psychosocial functioning also improved, with fewer disruptions reported in communication and leisure activities. Physiological indicators showed a slight decrease in heart rate and improvements in sleep quality and deep sleep duration, further supporting the program’s positive impact on the mental and physical well-being of the participants. Conclusions. The findings highlight the effectiveness of the Sheltered by Love rehabilitation program for children in mitigating psychological distress, improving psychosocial functioning, and fostering adaptive coping strategies, ultimately enhancing the overall well-being of the participants affected by the war. Further research could delve into the long-term effects of such interventions and explore additional factors influencing children’s psychological resilience in war-affected settings.

Introduction. In wartime, rehabilitation center staff (doctors, nurses, rehabilitators, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals) face a variety of emotional challenges in their work, which include deaths of patients and emotional support for patients and their families. These emotional burdens can lead to staff's professional burnout, which in turn can seriously reduce the effectiveness of provided medical services, as well as negatively affect staff's mental health. Aim: to measure the levels of professional burnout of the staff of rehabilitation centers for wounded soldiers and to determine the effects of the staff-organization interaction characteristics (work involvement and commitment to the organization) on staff’s burnout. Methods: Maslach-Jackson Burnout Syndrome in Professions of the Human-Human System, V. Schaufeli-A. Becker Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, Loyalty to the Organization Questionnaire by J. Grub, R. Dunham, and M. Castañeda, and the author's questionnaire-passport. Results. Two-thirds of the staff of rehabilitation centers for wounded soldiers had high and average levels of professional burnout of all its components. The rehabilitation centers staff's reduction of professional achievements was the most developed component of burnout, which was followed by emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization being the least developed component of burnout. Variance analysis found that staff-organization interaction factors (work involvement and commitment to the organization) can significantly decrease rehab center staff's professional and emotional burnout. Conclusions. The obtained results suggest the need for staff's burnout prevention and overcoming programs to implement in rehabilitation centers for wounded soldiers. Those programs could, in particular, focus on promoting staff's involvement in work and developing commitment to the organization.
Rapid Think Tanks (RTTs): An Atomic Approach to Accelerating Collective Deliberation

Published: July 2024

Collective deliberation manifests across society in multiple forms, encompassing parliamentary debates, expert panels, and grassroots citizen assemblies. Despite its ubiquity, the inherent diversity and context dependency of these deliberative processes often results in poorly defined processes that resist standardization, complicating efforts at analysis, transparency, and optimization. This paper advocates for a novel conceptual framework that systematically deconstructs existing deliberation methods into standardized, modular components, thereby facilitating the assembly of measurable deliberative processes that can preserve flexibility and structure.Based on the deficiencies of traditional deliberative approaches exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly within the context of policymaking, as well as the growing potential of emerging technologies—most notably Large Language Models (LLMs)—to substantially enhance the efficacy of deliberation, we introduce the Rapid Think Tank (RTT). The RTT is an innovative approach that harnesses collective intelligence through a streamlined, machine-supported, and transparent methodology. The RTT model is designed to deliver clear, direct outcomes within compressed time frames, addressing the challenges posed by conventional deliberative methods.
TROPICAL STORM SURGE: FORMATION, IMPACT, AND RECENT ADVANCES IN ITS PREDICTION TOWARDS DEVELOPING MITIGATION STRATEGIES

Tropical storm surge poses significant risks to coastal areas, necessitating precise prediction for effective emergency preparedness and mitigation. Recent advances in numerical models such as SLOSH, ADCIRC, and FVCOM have revolutionized storm surge forecasting by accurately simulating complex hydrodynamic processes, bolstered by ADCIRC's use of high-resolution grids and parallel computing for enhanced predictive capabilities crucial in emergency management. Hybrid models that integrate numerical simulations with statistical and machine learning techniques further refine forecasts, utilizing real-time observational data to correct biases and improve initial conditions dynamically. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning, particularly neural networks like CNNs and RNNs, play pivotal roles in improving prediction accuracy by analyzing spatial and temporal data from diverse sources, thus facilitating real-time data assimilation critical for operational forecasting systems. Future advancements are expected to deepen AI integration, refine data assimilation, and enhance global accessibility to real-time storm surge data, promising increased resilience and improved disaster response strategies worldwide.
The Paradox of Unexpected Time Savings: An Underused Resource to Boost Happiness
Authors: Trupia Maria Giulia , Engeler Isabelle
Published: July 2024

Most people in today’s society feel they do not have enough time to get everything done. Thus, if activities take less time than planned, this should make people happier. However, five preregistered experiments document that people tend to be surprisingly numb to unexpected time gains, leading to a substantial asymmetry in people’s hedonic response to unexpected time gains and losses. While finishing a task later than planned strongly decreases happiness (Average d = -1.88, completing it earlier by the same amount hardly increases happiness (Average d = 0.00 Studies 1-5). This asymmetry is weaker for money—unexpected monetary gains increase happiness significantly more than unexpected time gains (Study 2)—and replicates across various activities (Study 3). One underlying reason for this numbness is that many people fail to reinvest the time they save and let it pass by (Study 4). Notably, a simple intervention encouraging people to plan the reallocation of potential time gains increased their happiness when encountering them (Study 5). Most (if not all) people experience unexpected time deviations. By uncovering the psychology of unexpected time gains, we hope our findings encourage people to better use them and firms to guide consumers to help alleviate their time stress.

Published: July 2024

This article presents a new approach to understanding strategic decision mak-ing inspired by the mathematics of quantum theory. Empirical support for thisnew approach comes from five different puzzling findings from past work on theprisoner dilemma game including the disjunction effect, the interference of pre-dictions on actions in simultaneous and sequential games, question order effect,and the effects of cheap promises. Eight different quantum models are described,which purport to account for these puzzling findings. The competing models aresystematically compared with respect to their capability of accounting for the five empirical findings.
Place-Based Policies, Local Responses, and Electoral Behavior

Place-based economic policies are increasingly seen as instruments to counter political discontent in economically-depressed regions. Do regional investment subsidies affect electoral behavior? We evaluate this question in the context of Germany's largest regional investment program. Our identification strategy leverages a 2014 subsidy rate cut for manufacturing firms that -- due to EU rules -- was exogenous to local economic trends. The subsidy cut reduced voting for the far-right AfD and increased support for the incumbent Christian Democrats. We then demonstrate that subsidy cuts trigger two counterreactions: local firms invest more in human capital and local governments invest more in infrastructure and public goods. We argue that these dynamics signal to voters that local governments are responsive and care about their constituents, undermining populist appeals. Our findings suggest that political consequences of place-based policies -- and austerity more broadly -- cannot be understood without considering counteractions by local firms and governments.
