UTILITY OF HBME1 IMMUNOSTAIN IN DIFFERENTIATING REACTIVE MESOTHELIAL CELLS LESIONS FROM MALIGNANT EPITHELIAL CELLS LESIONS IN SEROUS EFFUSIONS
Authors: Raut Sonal , Gujar Reetesh Kumar , Ali Mustafa , Bhopalwala Ali Fatima
Published: June 2023

Objective: Parietal and the visceral layers of the mesothelium are separated by a thin layer of lubricating fluid and are made up of a single layer of flat cells. The three body cavities pleura, peritoneum, and pericardium are lined by mesothelium. The collection of fluid inside these cavities is called an effusion and may be due to a variety of inflammatory, infective, and neoplastic causes and often causes reactive mesothelial cells hyperplasia that sometimes is very hard to differentiate from malignant epithelial cells in cytopathological examinations of these fluids.
Methods: We studied the utility of the Human Battifora Mesothelial Epitope-1 (HBME1) immunostain to differentiate these conditions. All the fluids from various effusions collected at the department of pathology, at a tertiary care institute in Lucknow were included in the study. Detailed history, examination findings, blood investigations, imaging findings, and histopathology reports were also noted. Fluids that showed reactive mesothelial hyperplasia and/or malignant epithelial cells on microscopic examination were further analyzed by the application of HBME1 on the cell block.
Results: A total of 50 fluids were studied finally including 30 cases from the positive malignant cells group and 20 cases from the reactive mesothelial cells group. Out of 30 cases included in the malignant cells group, 16 cases (53.33%) were immunoreactive for HBME1, and out of the 20 cases included in the reactive mesothelial cell group, 18 cases (90%) showed immunoreactivity for HBME1.
Conclusion: Observing this we can conclude that HBME1 immunoreactivity was significantly associated with the presence of reactive mesothelial cells compared to the malignant cells group.

Authors: Harsoori Mohammed Minhajuddin , Goswami Mayukh Kamal , Tyagi Arvind Kumar
Published: June 2023

Objectives: To study the incidence, etiology, clinical presentation and location of conservatively managed extra dural hematomas (EDHs).
Methods: A total of 23 EDH cases requiring conservative management were included in the study. All the patients were subjected to complete neurological examination including and various imaging techniques like computed tomography brain and chest X-ray. The patients with hematoma volume <30 ml, thickness <5 mm, midline shift <5 mm, Glasgow Coma Scale >8, were subjected to conservative management by admitting the patients in intensive care units.
Results: Among 23 EDH cases, 17 (74%) cases were males and 6 (26%) cases were females. A total of 8 patients were with age group of 10–20 years, 7 patients were with age group of 21–30 years and 8 patients were with age group of 31–40 years. The mean age of patients was 26.7 years. Road traffic accident was the common mode of injury in 47.8% (11 cases) of patients. The majority of the patients (34.7%) presented with frontal EDH.
Conclusion: EDH with low volume can be considered for conservative therapy by close observation, yet a risk of sudden neurological deterioration. However, surgical evacuation is the definitive treatment of EDH but craniotomy can be avoided in many patients with keen observation and repeated neurological assessments.

Authors: DEHARIYA CHANCHLESH , JAISWAL CHANDRASHEKHAR , UPADHYAY RITESH , DANDOTIYA DILEEP
Published: June 2023

Objectives: (1) To evaluate and compare the thyroid profile and lipid profile in preeclampsia in a normotensive pregnant female in the third trimester of pregnancy. (2) To estimate and compare serum uric acid and serum creatinine in preeclampsia in normotensive pregnant females.
Methods: In the present study, 154 patients, of which 79 preeclampsia (cases) and 75 (controls), were selected randomly and matched with their gestational age in patients who attended an ANC clinic at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, NSCB Medical College, Jabalpur, from March 2016 to August 2017. All patients were evaluated for their lipid profile, thyroid profile, serum uric acid, and serum creatinine. The study includes patient’s specific detailed clinical history, physical examination findings, and a report of relevant investigations recorded from the patient who presented with pre-eclampsia and normotensive pregnant female attending the ANC Clinic of N.S.C.B. Medical College, Jabalpur.
Results: The most common age group for preeclampsia was 20–24 years. Preeclampsia was most common in the nullipara as compared to the multipara. Pre-eclampsia cases commonly occur in low-socioeconomic and rural areas. In this study, pre-eclamptic women showed higher serum concentrations of total cholesterol (221.60±22.55), low density lipoprotein (LDL) (134.44±16.96), Very LDL (48.48±6.88) and Triglyceride (243.50±32.33) when compared to normotensive women, which was statistically significant. In this study, a statistically significant decrease in HDLC (34.55±5.37) was observed in pre-eclamptic women. An increase in serum creatinine was observed in women with pre-eclampsia. The mean serum creatinine level was (1.21±0.47).
Conclusion: Our study concludes that nulliparous and low-socio-economic women had a higher risk of pre-eclampsia. Maternal age between 20 and 24 years are more prone to develop pre-eclampsia. Serum uric acid levels are significantly higher in pre-eclampsia patients and could be a useful indicator of maternal and fetal complications in hypertensive patients.

Objectives: To study about epidemiological factors related to diabetic foot wound such as age, sex, duration of diabetes, relation to ongoing retinopathy, and nephropathy.
Methods: After obtaining approval from ethical committee, the present study is to be conducted on 100 patients of diabetic foot in the Department of Surgery, JA Group of Hospitals and GR Medical College, Gwalior (MP) during January 2020 to June 2021 after getting written informed consent from the patients.
Results: In our study, out of 100 cases, most of the diabetic foot wound cases observed were in the 50–59 years age group with a mean age of 52.23 and a standard deviation of ±14.92. Out of 100 cases, 82 (61.%) were male and 29 (38.66%) were female. Therefore, male: female ratio was 4.5:1. In our study of 100 patients, 70 (70%) presented with ulcer with or without necrotic patch, gangrene and 30 (30%) with cellulitis with or without abscess. Among all patients of diabetic foot, wound 62 (62%) were associated with retinopathy and 47 (47%) were associated with diabetic nephropathy.
Conclusion: Diabetic foot wound is more common in men due to their increased susceptibility to trauma and occupation. Diabetic patients at risk for foot complication must be educated about risk factors and the importance of foot care, including the need for self-inspection and surveillance, monitoring, daily foot hygiene, use of proper footwear, good diabetes control, and prompt recognition and early standard treatment of newly discovered lesions.

De la ausencia de efectividad a la rendición de cuentas durante la gestión de la pandemia COVID-19 en México
Authors: Aguilera Hintelholher Rina Marissa
Published: June 2023

El artículo explica el curso de la pandemia del COVID-19 en México sobre la base de dos puntos fundamentales: Destaca el comportamiento del gobierno en lo que se denomina gobierno solitario por haber asumido el control y centralización de la política sanitaria, sin convocar a la inteligencia colectiva de la sociedad integrada por expertos como: médicos, científicos e investigadores que pudieron haber elaborado aportaciones y tener así un tino más certero en el origen y desarrollo de la propia pandemia. Y sobre la rendición de cuentas, señala que no la proclama, ni la asume el área de salud del gobierno mexicano para contrarrestar preocupaciones y angustias en la población, lo cual advertía que el Gobierno sólo emitía declaraciones, pero en ningún momento procedió a justificar porqué se elegía la política sanitaria adoptada, en qué consistían sus alcances y de qué modo se iba a monitorear el desarrollo de esta
La relación intrínseca entre violencia y política. Algunas reflexiones sobre teología política y “razón de Estado”
Authors: Cordero García Grecia
Published: June 2023

En el presente texto, la autora reflexiona sobre la relación intrínseca y paradójica entre violencia y política en la construcción de la legitimidad, pretendidamente monopólica, del Estado moderno. La fundación y la conservación del derecho y del Estado pueden explicarse como teología política, en tanto el Estado como “dios mortal”, según la visión hobbesiana, es autoridad legitimadora de su propio gobierno, demostrando que “para crear derecho no necesita tener derecho”, de lo que se desprenden algunos conceptos como “razón de Estado.”

Published: June 2023

Abstract: The project work outlines the design and development of a self-balancing vehicle. The project aimed to create a compact, lightweight, and energy-efficient vehicle that could maintain balance without the need for a rider's input. The prototype was built using a combination of electronic components, sensors, and programming algorithms that allowed the vehicle to maintain balance. The design process involved extensive research on similar vehicles and their components, as well as experimentation with various designs to determine the most efficient and effective approach. Once the design was finalized, the development phase began, with the construction of the vehicle's frame and the integration of the various electronic components. The vehicle's balancing system was developed using a combination of gyroscopes, and a microcontroller that processed data from these sensors to adjust the vehicle's balance. Additionally, the vehicle was equipped with a motor and a battery to allow for movement. During testing, the model was able to maintain balance. The vehicle's energy consumption was also significantly lower than that of similar vehicles, making it an efficient and environmentally-friendly mode of transportation. Overall, the project was successful in achieving its goals of designing and developing a self-balancing vehicle. With further refinement and testing, the vehicle has the potential to become a viable mode of transportation for short distances in urban environments.

Published: June 2023

Phospholipase D2 (PLD2) enzymes are expressed on the cytoplasmic
membrane of bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals and have been linked to
many critical cellular processes. Recently there are lots of research
results about PLD2 that are associated with chronic inflammation
activity of cells. To evaluate the potential influence of PLD2 on
asthma, a self-made protein including the main functional domains of
PLD2, named recombinant human phospholipase D2 (rhPLD2), was designed in
our lab. The effects of rhPLD2 on mucosal inflammation were examined by
hematoxylin and eosin staining in an ovalbumin (OVA) induced murine
model of asthma. Cytokine concentrations in BALF obtained from mice were
measured using ELISA kits. The ratio of T-bet and GATA-3 expression
level in spleen and lymph nodes after rhPLD2 administration was also
assessed through RT-PCR. It demonstrated OVA-induced mice exhibited
elevated pulmonary eosinophilia and allergic inflammation in the airways
along with increased expression of IFN-γ, IL-4 in the lung BALF. RhPLD2
could alleviate lung inflammation and reduce significantly the number of
eosinophils in peripheral blood and BALF. RhPLD2 could reverse
IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio in lymphocytes of BALF, lung, spleen, lymph nodes of
asthma mice on genetic level. Treatment of asthma mice with rhPLD2 in
vivo directly increased the frequency not only of IL-10+Treg cells, but
also of CD25+ Treg cells in peripheral blood. From a therapeutic point
of view, rhPLD2 alleviates allergic airway Inflammation via balancing
Th1/Th2 Homeostasis and increasing Treg cells and has been shown to
function in immunoregulatory activities in OVA-induced asthma mice.

Published: June 2023

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has shown unexpected viral
infection traits. Initially thought to affect respiratory health
primarily, it also involves the gastrointestinal system. However, many
complications during the pandemic were caused by the virus, including
neurological, cardiovascular, dermatological, and metabolic issues.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has also
been linked to cardiac complications, such as myocardial infarction, in
individuals without cardiovascular risk factors. SARS-CoV-2 vaccines
exacerbated the situation with possible adverse events (AEs). Vaccine
side effects, like thromboembolic events, can be life-threatening or
simply bothersome. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a
nonlethal cardiac complication seen with COVID-19 and its vaccines. In
this review, we summarized the POTS-COVID-19 relationship
comprehensively.
Individual-level patterns of resource selection do not predict hotspots of contact
Authors: Yang Anni , Boughton Raoul , Miller Ryan , Snow Nathan P. , Vercauteren Kurt , Pepin Kim , Wittemyer George
Published: June 2023

Contact among animals is crucial for various ecological processes,
including social behaviors, disease transmission, and predator-prey
interactions. However, the distribution of contact events across time
and space is heterogeneous, influenced by environmental factors and
biological purposes. Previous studies have assumed that areas with
abundant resources and preferred habitats attract more individuals and,
therefore, lead to more contact. To examine the accuracy of this
assumption, we used a use-available framework to identify landscape
factors influencing contact locations. Our study focused on two wild pig
populations in Florida and Texas, USA. We employed a contact-resource
selection function (RSF) model, where contact locations were defined as
used points and locations without contact as available points. By
comparing the contact RSF with a population-level RSF, we assessed the
factors driving both habitat selection and contact. We found that the
landscape predictors (e.g., wetland, linear features, and food
resources) played different roles in habitat selection and contact
processes for wild pigs in both study areas. This indicates that pigs
interacted with their landscapes differently when choosing habitats
compared to when they encountered other individuals. Consequently,
relying solely on the spatial overlap of individual or population-level
RSF models may lead to a misleading understanding of contact-related
ecology. Our findings challenge prevailing assumptions about contact and
introduce innovative approaches to better understand the ecological
drivers of spatially explicit contact. By accurately predicting the
spatial distribution of contact events, we can enhance our understanding
of ecological processes and their spatial dynamics.
The impact of human-induced climate change on future tornado intensity as revealed through multi-scale modeling
Authors: Woods Matthew , Trapp Robert , Mallinson Holly M.
Published: June 2023

A novel, multi-scale climate modeling approach is used to show the
potential for increases in future tornado intensity due to anthropogenic
climate change. Historical warm- and cool-season (WARM and COOL) tornado
events are virtually placed in a globally warmed future via the
“pseudo-global warming” method. As hypothesized based on
meteorological arguments, the tornadic-storm and associated vortex of
the COOL event experiences consistent and robust increases in intensity,
and size in an ensemble of imposed climate-change experiments. The
tornadic-storm and associated vortex of the WARM event experiences
increases in intensity in some of the experiments, but the response is
neither consistent nor robust, and is overall weaker than in the COOL
event. An examination of environmental parameters provides further
support of the disproportionately stronger response in the cool-season
event. These results have implications on future tornadoes forming
outside of climatologically favored seasons.
The Effect of Tenure, Specialization, Conservatism, and Fees on the Relationship between Going-Concern Opinions and Client Bankruptcy
Authors: Lai Kam-Wah
Published: June 2023

This paper uses the relationship between a going-concern modified audit opinion and client bankruptcy as an audit quality indicator to investigate factors that could affect audit quality. The setting is important because, although stakeholders often view bankruptcies without a preceding going-concern opinion as evidence of impaired auditor independence, there could be various reasons behind them. Using a matched sample of bankrupt and nonbankrupt clients, this paper finds that the relationship is less positive when auditors are nonspecialists, allow more income-increasing discretionary accruals, or receive higher audit fees. These results suggest that auditors provide lower audit quality when they lack sufficient industry knowledge, are less conservative, or are more reliant on audit fees.

Published: June 2023

Living the life of the 21st century, one of the essential things that the world of education pays attention to is the development of students' analytical thinking skill activities. Research in various countries found only a few studies on developing analytical thinking instruments for Micro Teaching courses. Reports of several studies are limited to developing analytical thinking instruments for elementary school students. This research aims to construct analytical thinking skill instruments for Micro Teaching courses by adopting a development research model (test design, test trials, and test assembly). Nine items were designed using the concept of analytical thinking skills from Anderson and his colleagues; differentiation, organizing, and attributing, then validated by nine raters and tested on 30 students. Content validity testing (rater assessment) uses the Aiken–V formula, reliability testing uses Cronbach's alpha formula, Inter–Rater Reliability testing from Pearson's Intraclass Correlation Coefficients, construct validity testing uses Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), as well as analyzing the difficulty and discrimination item. The research results prove that the validity of the content of each item and the reliability test has been fulfilled. While the results of the trial using EFA confirmed the formation of three dominant factors with a loading factor value of ˃0.50, with a reliability coefficient of 0.82. The instrument is appropriate to use because, in addition to fulfilling the parameters of statistical testing, this instrument is also more operational, contextual, and practical to use to measure and assess analytical thinking skills for Micro Teaching courses.
Socioeconomic resources and family formation among young Finnish adults
Authors: Miettinen Anneli
Published: June 2023

How do individuals’ employment or financial resources affect childbearing in Finland? Are these resources equally important to men and women, or in couples?

This study examines the relationship between individuals’ socioeconomic resources – employment, education, and income– and entry into parenthood. The results show that employment stability is a key prerequisite for family formation among young adults in Finland. Being unemployed or having fewer financialresources is related to postponement of parenthood in most population groups, notably among those who are approaching age 30, or above it. A lack of economic resources appears to be an obstacle to family formation at several stages: first through union formation, and next, within unions. The associations are very similar among men and women, indicating that policies that support gender equality in employment are advantageous to childbearing.

Published: June 2023

Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on syventää ymmärrystä STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) -pedagogiikan vaikutuksista oppimiseen. Tapaustutkimuksessa keskitytään kuvaamaan alakouluikäisten oppilaiden yhteisöllistä työskentelyä sekä siihen liittyviä taitoja ja asenteita seitsemän viikkoa kestäneen STEAM-projektin aikana. Tutkimukseen osallistui 21 neljännen luokan oppilasta. Aineisto koostuu kyselylomakkeista sekä ryhmäpäiväkirjoista, jotka on analysoitu laadullista sisällönanalyysiä ja kuvailevia tilastollisia menetelmiä hyödyntäen. Tulokset osoittavat, että pienryhmien työskentelyn fokus säilyi hyvin STEAM-projektin aikana, ja pääsääntöisesti ryhmät olivat tyytyväisiä työskentelyynsä. Haasteeksi mainittiin ryhmän jäsenten epätasainen osallistuminen ryhmän työskentelyyn. Tulokset osoittavat, että oppilaat arvioivat yhteisöllisen oppimisen taitonsa hieman heikommiksi projektin lopuksi kuin aluksi. Asenteiden osalta hienoista muutosta tapahtui sekä positiivisempaan että negatiivisempaan suuntaan. Tulokset osoittavat myös, että ryhmänsä työskentelyä positiivisimmin ja negatiivisimmin arvioineet ryhmät erosivat toisistaan niin työskentelyntapojen kuin arvioitujen yhteisöllisen oppimisen taitojen ja asenteiden suhteen. Tuloksista hyötyvät opettajat, jotka haluavat hyödyntää STEAM-pedagogiikkaa tulevaisuuden oppimisen taitojen tukemisessa.   
Primary school students as collaborative learners – A case study in the contexts of STEAM-project among 4th graders  
The aim of this study is to deepen our understanding of the impact of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) -pedagogy on learning. The case study focuses on describing primary school students’ collaborative learning as well as related skills and attitudes during the STEAM project. Participants were 21 fourth-graders. The STEAM -project lasted seven weeks. The data consists of questionnaires and group diaries. Qualitative content analysis and descriptive statistical methods have been applied in the analysis. The results show that the focus of the small group work was well maintained during the STEAM project, and the groups were generally satisfied with their work. Group members’ unequal participation was mentioned as a main challenge. The results also show that students evaluate their collaborative learning skills as slightly weaker at the end of the project than at the beginning. In terms of attitudes, there was a slight change for both a more positive and a negative direction. The results also show that the groups that rated their group work the most positively and negatively differed in terms of both work habits and assessed collaborative learning skills and attitudes. The results will benefit teachers who want to apply STEAM -pedagogy to enhance future learning skills of their students.

Abstract. In running a cafe business, a sales strategy is needed in order to attract customers. Sales strategies that can be carried out include making menu packages and cross-selling (offering additional or complementary products to customers). Sakuyan Side is one of the cafes in Palangka Raya City, Central Kalimantan, which has quite a lot of sales transaction data every day, but unfortunately, it is only used as a financial report. In fact, by using the Apriori data mining algorithm, the sales transaction data can be analyzed and processed to obtain a sales pattern based on the sales transaction menu. From the results of this sales pattern, it can be used as material for consideration in developing a sales strategy, namely recommendations for making menu packages and recommendations for additional product offerings or commonly referred to as cross-selling. The results of testing the association rules using a lift ratio from March to September 2022 with a minimum support of 2% and a minimum confidence of 5% were 158 valid (strong) association rules. From the results of valid (strong) association rules, the cafe management can use it as a consideration in developing a sales strategy.

The Itu-Cabreúva region is located about 90 km northwest of the São Paulo city center. The geological setting is characterized by the expressive occurrence of Neoproterozoic granitic rocks. These intrusive rocks form large plutons that have given rise to flattened hills, valleys with concave-convex slopes, and superficial drainage systems. As part of this larger framework, several smaller landforms with unique appearances occur, which can be categorized into six groups: nubbin, boulder, balanced rock, castle koppie, cave, and minor form. Although these reliefs were formed under similar weathering conditions, the research results show that the physical properties of the lithology and the nature and density of the joints strongly influenced the shape and size of the blocks. These geoforms have exceptional scenic value and are situated in a geographically advantageous location for a range of educational and recreational activities that can be adapted to different levels of knowledge. The implementation of such proposals in the context of understanding the physical environment would result in a number of benefits, including (i) greater community involvement in the environment, (ii) valorization of the local landscape as a historical record of the planet's evolution, and (iii) improvement of urban geological risk prevention programs. Finally, these landforms are fascinating and offer conclusive evidence that can be observed on a wide range of scales, illustrating how the brittle deformation and magmatic fabric of the granite massifs influenced the development of the local landscape.
Humanitarian issues of medical education in modern Russia
Authors: Sedova NN
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the role of humanitarian education in medical universities of Russia. Events of recent years (lack of attention to the value orientation of students and, as a consequence, leaving the profession or feeling unsatisfied with it) that occurred in Russian healthcare determined the interest in this issue. The research data were obtained using the systemic approach. Owing to this, medical education was viewed as a non-integrated set of scientific, clinical proper and humanitarian knowledge and assessments. In this respect, the perspective of using humanitarian expertise of academic courses has been discussed. This was done to coordinate the efforts of socialization agents in development of professional orientation among medical students. A comparative analysis of the effect of High-Hume technologies and mentorship on the positive solution of this problem has been performed. A conclusion about the use of the complementary principle while implementing High-Hume and mentorship has been made. Search for the aggregator of integrative processes in medical and humanitarian preparation enabled to conclude that bioethics is a system-forming factor of developing professional orientation in medical education. Recommendations on the use of scientific and organizational achievements in bioethics in the practice of medical education have been developed.
Understanding the Key Environmental Risks and Their Sustainability Assessment Indicators
Authors: Naji Alaa Jaleel
Published: June 2023

Environmental risks across the world are growing rapidly. Certainly, the quality of life in cities varies as a consequence of human activity, and those cities must adapt to an uncertain future; this process involves a series of transformations in our environment as well as socio-technical systems. Environmental risks can have a complex impact that threatens human health and social relationships. For instance, often, the adapting to climate change leads to misunderstandings and conflict among local, regional, and international parties. This review paper concentrated environmental risks and identified related environmental sustainability indicators that contribute to monitoring environmental systems and alerting to threats before they occur based on a literature review. The key findings are: firstly, transforming such an environment into a long-term sustainable environment will necessarily require a thorough understanding of environmental risks and how they interact with the environment, as well as a thorough understanding of the indicators used to assess environmental systems and monitor them; Secondly, to create a more sustainable environment, a systemic set of indicators should be formulated based on environmental risk type. These indicators need to be measured and monitored for environmental impacts as well as to assess the state of the ecosystem. And finally, environmental sustainability reports and studies could be able to share more executable information, but they would need time, flexibility, and periodic sharing.

Objectives: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) has no vaccine or treatment and an extremely high fatality rate. We aimed to analyze and evaluate the risk factors for death associated with SFTS.Methods: Among reports from 2018 to 2022, we compared and analyzed 1,034 inpatients aged 18 years or older with laboratory-confirmed SFTS who underwent complete epidemiological investigations.Results: Most of the inpatients with SFTS were aged 50 years or older (average age, 67.6 years). The median time from symptom onset to death was 9 days, and the average case fatality rate was 18.5%. Risk factors for death included age of 70 years or older (odds ratio [OR], 4.82); agriculture-related occupation (OR, 2.01); underlying disease (OR, 7.20); delayed diagnosis (OR, 1.28 per day); decreased level of consciousness (OR, 5.53); fever/chills (OR, 20.52); prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (OR, 4.19); and elevated levels of aspartate aminotransferase (OR, 2.91), blood urea nitrogen (OR, 2.62), and creatine (OR, 3.21).Conclusion: The risk factors for death in patients with SFTS were old age; agriculture-related occupation; underlying disease; delayed clinical suspicion; fever/chills; decreased level of consciousness; and elevated activated partial thromboplastin time, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, and creatine levels.
Analisis Meningkatnya Permohonan Dispensasi Kawin Masa Pandemi Covid 19 di Pengadilan Agama Padangsidimpuan dan Pengadilan Agama Panyabungan

Marriage Dispensation is an attempt by the prospective bride and groom to obtain a decision from the court to enter into a marriage for underage couples. Applications for marriage dispensation have increased since the COVID-19 pandemic hit Indonesia. This research focuses on analysing the factors behind the increase in requests for marriage dispensation and seeking efforts to overcome the increase in requests for dispensation. The research method used is field research with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were collected through observation and interviews with judges from the Padangsidimpuan Religious Court and the Pengabungan Religious Court. Interviews were also conducted with the Padangsidimpuan and Mandailing Natal Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Services and the people of Padangsidimpuan and Mandailing Natal, who submitted requests for dispensation from marriage. The results of this study indicate that the reasons for the prospective bride and groom applying for dispensation include juvenile delinquency (free sex), pregnancy out of wedlock, arranged marriages, low economy, and encouragement of traditional traditions (marlojong). Efforts were made to address the increase in requests for marital dispensation by strengthening the role and cooperation between the Religious Courts, the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Service (DP3A), and the community (family)..
Examining the roots of turnover intentions in the Royal Norwegian Navy, the role of embeddedness, work-life conflict and predictability

Retaining qualified personnel is a priority for armed forces, and turnover presents a serious problem. This study uses job embeddedness theory to investigate embeddedness factors, predictability and work–life conflict as predictors of turnover intentions in commissioned officers (COs) and non-commissioned officers (NCOs) in the Royal Norwegian Navy. The study posits that career prospects, community fit, organisational fit and organisational links embed personnel and are associated with a reduction in turnover intentions. In addition, the study proposes a mechanism whereby personnel who experience a predictable work schedule have better work–life balance and subsequently lower turnover intentions. Predictability in turn is hypothesised to be associated with the possibility of flexible hours. Using structural equation modelling, we find that embeddedness factors predicted turnover intentions for both personnel categories, but career prospects were the only significant embeddedness factor for NCOs. Predictability was associated with a reduction in turnover intentions via work–life conflict for both groups. In addition, flexible hours showed an effect on work–life conflict for both groups, but through different mechanisms. Overall, the results point to differential actions to reduce turnover between COs and NCOs in the armed forces and conclude with a priority list for actions to reduce turnover in each personnel group.
Fe2O3 Synthesized by Sol-Gel Method for Energy Storage Applications
Authors: Thi Hang Bui
Published: June 2023

Fe2O3 nanopowders were synthesized by sol-gel method from the iron source material Fe(NO3)3.9H2O and citric acid C6H8O7.H2O without any refined process. The structure and size of the synthesized materials were determined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The obtained product is α-Fe2O3 with different shapes and sizes depending on the preparation conditions. α-Fe2O3 was applied as anode of iron-air battery. The cyclic voltammetry measurements showed that the size and morphology of Fe2O3 particles affect their electrochemical characteristics. Using K2S as an electrolyte additive improved the electrochemical properties of Fe2O3/AB electrodes as evidenced by increased redox reaction rate of iron, increased capacity of Fe2O3/AB electrode and reduced H2 evolution.
