Authors:   , Henness Steven
Published: September 2024

This dissertation explores how real-world learning influences entrepreneurial mindset and social capital of high school students in the rural Midwest. A mixed-methods case study design was used to document the overall case of the Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities (CEO) program. CEO is an experiential high-school entrepreneurship program that originated in Effingham, Illinois, in 2008, and has been replicated in over 70 communities in 10 states. This case study applies entrepreneurial development, positive youth development, and community development frameworks for an integrated in-depth case description and interpretation. Qualitative fieldwork with program leaders and community stakeholders combines with a quantitative survey of CEO alums from the program's 15-year history. Findings affirm the experiential and community-driven nature of the program, and community and institutional contexts supporting successful implementation. Results attest to how real-world learning facilitates entrepreneurial mindset and social capital of students, with entrepreneurial activities and civic involvement continuing into adulthood. Evidence also found a co-formation of outcomes. The study aims to narrow gaps in research on community-based experiential learning and engagement of younger generations. Findings provide insights for researchers of entrepreneurship, youth engagement, and community vibrancy, and for practitioners working to build more equitable entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Metabolic control of Brucella infection
Authors:   , Ponzilacqua Silva Barbara
Published: September 2024

Brucella melitensis is a bacterial pathogen that constitutes a substantial threat to human and animal health. Here we unraveled the host-pathogen interplay in brucellosis providing insights into MyD88 signaling, metabolic dynamics, and the impact of vaccination. We show that MyD88 promotes macrophage glycolysis in response to B. melitensis infection. Its deficiency results in an increased availability of glucose in vivo, which Brucella can exploit via its glucose transporter, gluP. Additionally, we found that itaconate has antibacterial effects and regulates the production of IL1-[beta]. Metabolic profiling of murine spleens, livers, and reproductive tracts post-infection reveals tissue-specific changes linked to glutaminolysis. Vaccination-induced metabolic shifts promote a significant impact on the host's metabolite profile protecting in part by restricting glucose availability in an antibody-dependent manner. The gluP gene emerges as a crucial player in virulence, exhibiting distinct roles in vaccinated and naive hosts. Moreover, we suggest that other different virulence strategies are employed by B. melitensis in vaccinated versus naive hosts. In a pioneering approach, we used Tn-seq to study fitness of B. melitensis mutants in the context of vaccination. Mutants associated with maltose, myo-inositol, and niacin utilization are suggested to be involved in this fitness. The generation of a double knockout mutant sheds light on the specific role of BMEII0940-BMEII0941 genes in B. melitensis virulence. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the host-pathogen relationship in brucellosis, offering potential avenues for therapeutic interventions and vaccine development.
Regulation of craving and underlying resting-state functional connectivity are associated with smoking lapse
Authors:   , Upton Spencer
Published: September 2024

[EMBARGOED UNTIL 05/01/2025] Significance: Identifying neural circuitry dynamics associated with the proactive regulation of craving (ROC) for drugs of abuse may assist in identifying individuals at greater risk for relapse and inform treatment targets for clinical intervention. Methods: Nicotine-dependent adult smokers (N=213) underwent resting-state fMRI and then outside the scanner, performed a smoking relapse analog task (SRT) to assess ROC, latency to inhibit smoking, and smoking lapse (binary outcome). Functional connectivity multivariate pattern analysis (fc-MVPA) and post-hoc seed-based connectivity (SBC) analyses were used to investigate resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) underlying ROC, while Cox regression survival analyses were used to examine if ROC performance or underlying rsFC were associated with smoking lapse. Results: Worse ROC performance was associated with a greater hazard for smoking lapse ([beta] = 0.257, SE = 0.121, HR = 1.294, 95 percent CI = 1.020 to 1.641, p = 0.034). ROC fc-MVPA regression analyses identified 29 functional clusters displaying multivariate patterns of rsFC associated with ROC, 8 of which were selected for ROC SBC regression analyses. Overall, SBC analyses identified 60 resting-state circuits associated with ROC; and better performance was associated with both stronger (n=48 circuits) and weaker (n=12 circuits) rsFC. Furthermore, a subset of ROC resting-state circuits (n=10 circuits) were also shown to be associated with smoking lapse. Lastly, analyses revealed that the use of composite rsFC scores, as opposed to single circuit rsFC values, always resulted in more robust associations with behavior. Conclusions: In summary, this study triangulated associations between ROC, rsFC, and smoking lapse. Study findings suggest that ROC performance and underlying rsFC may inform prediction models of smoking relapse vulnerability and potentially serve as treatment targets for smoking cessation interventions.

Authors: Kiseleva S. V. , Nekhoroshev A. S.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. This article is devoted to the analysis of the role of anthropomorphic metaphors in modern digital vocabulary using the example of the word «selfie». The relevance of the work is due to the growing interest of the scientific community in the evolution of digital vocabulary, which includes a variety of lexical units and expressions that reflect modern realities and sociocultural changes.

Methodology and sources. The methodological study is based on the productivity of anthropometric cognitive tools in the formation of figurative expressions in English, with the

inclusion of the word «selfie». This study is related to the conceptual theory of metaphors developed by famous linguists G. Lakoff and M. Johnson.

Results and discussion. In the course of this study, attention is drawn to some expressive phrases associated with the concept of «selfie». Adjectives with negative and positive connotations were selected, then, based on the analysis of empirical material, structures were identified that architecturally represent the «adjective + selfie» model. On this basis, in the context of selfie, negative and positive metaphorical images were identified, which were analyzed in examples.

Conclusion. Consideration of the semantics of the expressions under study allows us to better understand how digital vocabulary shows sociocultural trends and changes in society, provides a look at the evolution of language in the era of digitalization and emphasizes the role of digital vocabulary in the formation of new linguistic patterns that reflect the dynamics of sociocultural changes, emphasizing the role of digital vocabulary in the modern world.
Digital Technologies and Society: Identity Transformation
Authors: Platonova S. I.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. The purpose of this article is to analyze the features of identity formation and identification processes in postmodern society and in digital society. The article explores various approaches to the concept of «identity» within the framework of socio-humanitarian theories. The interrelation of real and virtual identity, the emergence of new forms and models of identity are considered. Two approaches to the analysis of identity in a digital society are analyzed and compared: digital optimism and digital pessimism.

Methodology and sources. The article uses a comparative analysis of various theoretical approaches to identity formation. An interdisciplinary approach is used to understand the features of identity in the era of digitalization. As the main sources f or the study of the phenomenon of identity there were used works of classics of sociology and psychology E. Erickson, J.G. Meade, E. Durkheim, as well as studies of representatives of modern philosophical and sociological theories Z. Bauman, A. Giddens, S. Turkle, A.A. Lisenkova, T.G. Leshkevich.

Results and discussion. It is shown that in postmodern society, identity is characterized by the processes of individualization, fragmentation and the absence of a single cultural center. In a digital society, along with the processes of individualization, there are processes of standardization and unification of person. It is concluded that in a digital society, identity has positive and negative sides. On the one hand, there is a positive vector for the use of online communications, network interaction of people, which destroys spatial and temporal boundaries, as well as social barriers. On the other hand, new types of virtual identity are being formed, challenging a person's own identity.

Conclusion. It is concluded that the digital society changes human identity, identification practices and strategies. The consequence of these processes is the formation of a person fused with digital technologies, which leads to the transformation of the social order, social norms and society as a whole.

Published: September 2024

Introduction. The mobility of IT specialists differs from the mobility of all other socioprofessional groups. The study of mobility is relevant, since the movement of IT specialists significantly affects the peculiarities of the formation of the digital space, the success of many types of activities of modern society, and its prospects. Sociology has accumulated a scientific foundation for covering mobility based on new research principles, which makes it possible to identify specific characteristics of the mobility of IT specialists.

Methodology and sources. The conceptual theoretical and methodological positions of the study are represented by a complex of ideas, the basis of which is the work of P.A. Sorokin and his followers a bout the essence of mobility. The article is based on ideas a bout the mobile society formulated in the works of D. Urry, M. Castells, B. Latour, K. Knorr-Cetina, and the provisions of the works of D.V. Ivanov about new forms of integration of the digital and streaming society, where the mobility of IT specialists begins to play a new, more important role. A number of sources were used, where attention was paid to the analysis of the mobility of Russian IT specialists as a phenomenon reflecting the characteristics of their movements in the conditions of modern Russian society.

Results and discussion. Two main results of the study show, firstly, that the professional component of the mobility of IT specialists is an active beginning of movements and changes – their mobility. Ultimately, the professional mobility of IT specialists is aimed at finding the most suitable social environment that allows them to successfully implement their professional activities. Secondly, it was revealed that the specifics of the work activities of IT specialists form the motivation for changes and movements, where personal interests can be very significant and do not always coincide with the interests of IT organizations.

Conclusion. Analysis of the generalized materials allows us to characterize some prospects and incentives for the mobility of Russian IT specialists, to formulate the author’s definition of mobility as a phenomenon determined by the social and professional attributes of the digital space, as well as the goals of mobility, as achieving the most adequate conditions for professional self-realization, as well as ensuring preservation and correction professional identity in the IT space.

Does heat tolerance vary with rates of oxygen production in photosymbiotic cnidarians?
Authors: Laetz Elise , Verberk Wilco
Published: September 2024

Oxygen acquisition and delivery to tissues is believed to be a key factor in heat tolerance, but testing this link has been challenging due to methodological limitations in separating processes related to oxygen acquisition and oxygen delivery. In this study, we altered tissue oxygenation by manipulating light intensity using cnidarians that host endosymbiotic algae as a model. We first verified that light intensity determines net photosynthetic rates, showing that all species produced oxygen at the highest light intensity, and that chemical inhibition successfully inhibited oxygen production. We then tested the prediction that heat tolerance would be higher at higher light intensity and lower in chemically inhibited specimens. Overall, photosynthetic specimens had a higher heat tolerance than inhibited specimens and increased light intensity improved heat tolerance for two of the three species we examined. Because inhibited specimens had lower heat tolerances, we conclude that oxygen dynamics are involved in shaping heat tolerance. Interestingly, light intensity also affected oxygen uptake and heat tolerance in some of the chemically inhibited specimens, indicating that light modulates aspects of cnidarian metabolism that are related to thermal tolerance, but extend beyond oxygen dynamics and the photosynthesis occurring in their algae.
The Themes of the Female Persona in Nizar Qabbani's Poetry Compared to the Themes of the Female Persona in the Poetry of His Contemporary Female Poets: A Pragmatic, Analytical Study
Authors: Assadi Nassim , Joudallah Alaaeddin
Published: September 2024

This article explores the extent to which Nizar Qabbani succeeded in addressing the themes of the female poets of his era in his poems, where the poetic persona was portrayed as a woman. The study delves into the primary themes of the female poetic persona in the works of both Qabbani and the female poets, drawing comparisons between them. The key question is whether Qabbani succeeded in affirming Salah Saleh's assertion that a man can sometimes describe the concerns and life of a woman more effectively than a woman herself, or whether he failed in this endeavor.

Sufism with the Integration of Humans: Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s Perspective
Authors: Riyaz Aamir
Published: September 2024

In this research paper, I aim to explore and discover the relation of Sufism with the integration of humans in the light of Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s view. I will also discuss the fundamental principle of Sufism, the historical development of Sufism, Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s view on Sufism, the spiritual trends in Sufism, Classical as well as the Modern approach to Sufism, and finally Sufi thoughts and Practices. Sufism, which, in my opinion, is a psycho-physical analysis, is a philosophy of love and God-intoxication. Initially, it was ascetic and devotional but later became speculative and doctrinal. It is a path of spiritualism and achievement of purity and gnosis of God. It is a philosophy that is as old as Islam and an essential part of it. The Sufi practice comprises the dogma of love towards God through the love of human beings, purification of the soul, the process of detachment, simplicity, and service to humankind. Most Sufis put an undivided importance on the moral value system and the sacred relation of Murshid (Guide) and Murid (Disciple). If we analyze these principles of Sufism, then it becomes clear that Sufism is a philosophy that promotes communal harmony, peace, tolerance, and co-existence in society. Seyyed Hossein Nasr explains Sufism as the marrow of the bones or the internal aspects of the Islamic revelation is the means par excellence whereby Tawhid is achieved. The integration of human beings implies the awareness of the One and the transformation of the countless in the light of the One. It is, therefore, the full realization of that faith or Iman, which is the fundamental basis of Islam.

This study aims to examine self-regulated learning based on gender using two factors, namely social support and campus culture, and analyze the moderation effects presented by these two factors. This study was a quantitative approach with an expost facto method. The population was all students in the Social Sciences Education Study Program of the Parepare State Islamic Institute for the 2019-2023 batch of 116 students. There were 34 men and 82 women. The research sample took a saturated sample, namely the entire population. The data collection techniques were questionnaires, documentation, and interviews. Testing the research hypothesis was carried out using SmartPLS. The study found that social support significantly increased SRL, with a stronger effect on male students than female students. A positive campus culture also increases SRL, but its effect is weaker on female students. Campus culture moderates the effect of social support on SRL, amplifying its effectiveness, especially in male students. Social support also moderated the effect of campus culture on SRL, strengthening the motivation and confidence of male students, although the impact was slightly weaker on female students but still relevant. These results suggest that social support and campus culture enhance SRL, particularly among male students. It is crucial to design interventions that consider gender differences to achieve the best possible results.

Permasalahan yang dihadapi peternak unggas saat ini adalah harga bahan pakan yang semakin mahal dan kualitas yang tidak menentu, sehingga produksi yang dihasilkan seringkali kurang maksimal. Untuk itu kegiatan pengabdian ini dilaksanakan dengan mengaplikasikan feed additive Bioemulsifier Organik yang berfungsi mengoptimalkan kecernaan lemak untuk diubah menjadi sumber energi sehingga akan meningkatkan performa produksi ayam kampung tersebut. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah memberikan pengetahuan tentang feed additive Organic Bioemulsifier dan keterampilan pada mitra tentang teknik pencampurannya secara benar dikarenakan jumlah pemberiannya sangat sedikit (0,01%) agar tercampur homogen dengan bahan-bahan utama lainnya. Pemberian pakan campuran dengan homogenitas yang baik, kemanfaatan penambahan Organic Emulsifier akan nampak berupa perbaikan performa ayam kampung. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di Teaching Farm milik PT. Pandu Bina Sejahtera Indonesia. Kegiatan ini dilakukan dengan metode Participatory Rural Approach (PRA) yang meliputi: 1)persiapan, 2)penyuluhan dan pelatihan, 3)pendampingan kegiatan, serta 4)evaluasi. Keberhasilan pengabdian ini nampak dari hasil evaluasi yang menunjukkan bahwa seluruh peserta telah mengetahui secara langsung manfaat feed additive Organic Bioemulsifier yang dapat meningkatkan berat badan ayam kampung sebesar 6,3% dibanding yang tanpa feed additive. Jumlah peserta yang telah mengetahui teknik pencampuran pakan dengan feed additive secara benar sebanyak 100%.

Maloklusi merupakan hubungan antara lengkung rahang atas dan bawah serta susunan gigi yang tidak normal. Gigi berjejal merupakan gambaran maloklusi yang prevalensinya terbanyak. Area gigi berjejal memudahkan terjadinya retensi plak yang dapat memicu terjadinya masalah periodontal seperti gingivitis dan karies gigi. Pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan edukasi pada siswa sekolah tentang maloklusi dan perawatan ortodonti serta mendapatkan gambaran kasus maloklusi yang dihubungkan dengan kebersihan gigi siswa SDN Jatimulyo 2 Kota Malang. Penyuluhan dilakukan pada siswa kelas 5 dan 6 dilanjutkan pemeriksaan kasus maloklusi menggunakan Indeks ICON (Index of Complexity, Outcome, and Need), tingkat kebersihan mulut menggunakan OHI-S (Oral Hygiene Index Simplified), dan diakhiri dengan sikat gigi bersama Evaluasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan siswa setelah dilaksanakannya kegiatan ini. Hasil pemeriksaan rongga mulut menunjukkan sebagian besar siswa mengalami kasus maloklusi dengan kategori sedang sebanyak 52,4% dan status kebersihan giginya rata-rata juga berada pada kategori sedang. Diperlukan edukasi yang berkesinambungan guna meningkatkan kesadaran siswa terhadap kesehatan gigi terutama maloklusi.

Authors: Tezanos Sergio , Madrueño Rogelio
Published: September 2024

The problem of food insecurity is worsening in a multi-crisis world simultaneously affected by socio-economic, health, governance and environmental problems. This article characterizes the geography of food insecurity based on six influential theories that explain the emergence of the most dramatic manifestation of food insecurity: famines. We build a taxonomy of 98 developing countries using a clustering procedure and identify four groups of countries with different vulnerabilities. The multidimensional analysis depicts a complex map of the diversity of human vulnerabilities that trigger hunger and famines across the world.
