Butea monosperma (Lam.) Taub is a well-known medicinal plant belonging to the family Fabaceae. More than hundreds of plants have been reported in the Ethno-botanical literature of India for theiranti-microbial activity as well as for treatment of many diseases and Butea monosperma (Lam.)Taub is one of them. The present investigation is focused on the anti-microbial activity of Butea monosperma leaves against both gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans) and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) as well as fungi (Candida albicans and Trichophyton rubrum). Both excerpts (ethanol and methanol) show positive responses against all the selected microorganisms. GC-MS analysis is done to find out important compound which is anti-microbial. A total of 38 compounds are identified in GC-MS analysis. Out of 38 compounds, 8 compounds are identified as antimicrobial in nature such as Dodecane, 2-HEXADECEN-1-OL, 3,7,11,15-TETRAMETHYL-, [R-[, Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester, Phytol, Palmidrol, Squalene, Tetracosane, Vitamin E and Lup-20(29)-en-3-one which justify, this plant possess significant anti-microbial property. GC-MS analysis reveals that majorly, this plant leaves also possess 10 antioxidant compounds (Neophytadiene, 2-HEXADECEN-1-OL, 3,7,11,15-TETRAMETHYL-, [R-[, n-Hexadecanoic acid, Phytol, squalene, .alpha.-Tocospiro B, Tetracosane, .gamma.-Tocopherol, Ergost-5-en-3-ol, (3.beta.)- and STIGMASTA-5,22-DIEN-3-OL, (3.BETA.,22E)-,), 9 anti-cancerous compounds (Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester, 9,12,15-OCTADECATRIENOIC ACID, METHYL ESTER, squalene, .gamma.-Tocopherol, Vitamin E, Ergost-5-en-3-ol, (3.beta.)-, STIGMASTA- 5,22-DIEN-3-OL, (3.BETA.,22E)-, .gamma.-Sitosterol and Lupeol),8 anti-inflammatory compounds (Neophytadiene,2-HEXADECEN-1-OL, 3,7,11,15-TETRAMETHYL-, [R-[, Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester, n-Hexadecanoic acid, 9,12,15-OCTADECATRIENOIC ACID, METHYL ESTER, Phytol, Palmidrol, .alpha.-Tocospiro B and Lupeol), 3 cardioprotective compounds ( Neophytadiene, .alpha.-Tocospiro B and .gamma.-Tocopherol A) and 5 antidiabetic compounds (.alpha.-Tocospiro B, Vitamin E, STIGMASTA-5,22-DIEN-3-OL, (3.BETA.,22E)-, .gamma.-Sitosterol and Lup-20(29)-en-3-one).This investigation suggests that this plant leaf has not only anti-microbial potential but also possesses other important compounds to fight against many deadly diseases. Thus, this plant has immense potential to make an individual place in pharmacological industries, especially as antibiotics.

Effect of post-processing treatment on 3D-printed polylactic acid parts: layer interfaces and mechanical properties
Authors: Mani Satthiyaraju , Kasi Ananthakumar , Guruswamy Rajeshkumar , Nilagiri Balasubramanian Karthik Babu , Pandian Arvinda
Published: October 2023

The post-processing treatment of isostatic compression with different temperatures is improved with the interlayer bonding of the polylactic acid (PLA) parts. This bonding enhanced the tensile strength, percentage of strain, and elastic modulus of post-processed PLA samples through the tensile test. Here, the tensile strength is improved by about 127 % compared to untreated PLA due to interlayer bonding and the compressive force with 140 °C. Compression and flexural tests are utilized to examine the post-processed parts’ compression and flexural strength. It significantly improves the compressive and flexural strength of the post-processed parts, increasing to about 55 % and 64.5 % compared with the untreated PLA parts. Additive manufacturing of PLA parts is significantly progressed in the 3D printing of biodegradable and eco-friendly components through a layer-by-layer deposition.

Construction of Ethno-Religious Identity in Nusa Tenggara Timur Local Politics
Authors: Roen Yeheskial Adriaan , Suharko Suharko , Azca Muhammad Najib
Published: October 2023

This article described the discourse on ethnoreligious identity in electoral politics in NTT from the perspective of post-structuralism. The discursiveness of identity is important because it helps with how ethnoreligious identity is constructed to become hegemonic in electoral politics. Using Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, this study found three articulations constructing ethnoreligious identity in electoral politics to become hegemonic, namely first, the historical articulation of enemy and ally; secondly, the institutionalization of representation of ethnoreligious identity in candidate pairs; and third, the daily socio-political practices of political actors. Reflectively, even though the three articulations have different working logics, they are ultimately absorbed in the “nodal point,” namely the hegemony of ethnoreligious identity in electoral politics. This study aims to raise citizens’ critical awareness that the hegemony of ethnoreligious identity in electoral politics is not taken for granted but is a social construction. By gaining this awareness, the citizens are expected not to be trapped in the essentialism of identity in electoral politics. This study contributes to the discourse study of the hegemony of ethno-religious identity in electoral politics.

Authors: Karunia R. Luki
Published: October 2023

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of smart government in West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. The research was conducted on the population and civil registration services by looking at four aspects: an overview of the use of information technology-based applications used, public services performed, an overview of the bureaucracy and public policies, and explaining the factors that hinder the ineffectiveness of smart government. The method used is a qualitative research method. Data collection was carried out through interviews, document review, and observation. The results showed that implementing smart government at the Population and Civil Registry Office of West Lombok district from public service indicators needed to have been more effective. There still needs to be an increase in facilities and infrastructure, especially computers, scanners, adding internet networks in each service room. The policy aspect is also not practical because people are not aware of the policy's existence because many people do not have smartphones and do not understand technology. In addition, online socialization needs to be massively encouraged. Lack of budget from APBD funds resulting in limitations in buying facilities and infrastructure that support smart government.

Substance Use Policy and Practice
Authors: Adger Hoover , Wilson J. Deanna
Published: October 2023

Substance use remains a common condition for youth from all racial and ethnic groups and all socioeconomic statuses. Although minoritized and other marginalized youth use substances at similar rates as white youth, minoritized youth are more likely to experience severe consequences and less likely to receive evidence-based treatment than their white counterparts. To address disparities related to substance use, pediatric health professionals must integrate substance use/substance use disorder prevention, early intervention, and treatment as part of routine pediatric primary care. To do so, we need to train a diverse workforce to engage in patient-centered conversations that are nonjudgmental and compassionate and that acknowledge the impact of structural determinants of health, including racism, on substance use and treatment outcomes.

Why #Representation Matters in Media
Authors: Ameenuddin Nusheen
Published: October 2023

This chapter examines the power of media and its effects on children and adolescents, both as a reflection and an influencer of society; the importance of representation in both entertainment and news media, on the screen and behind the scenes, especially for children and adolescents of color who have fewer examples of positive media coverage; and how to apply lessons from media literacy with an equity lens to consume, appraise, and advocate for greater diversity and inclusion to improve representation in media to enhance child well-being.

The Role of Pediatric Health Professionals in Promoting Equity and Child Development
Authors: Yeh Joannie
Published: October 2023

There are different approaches to talking with children and adolescents about racism and how factors such as access to health care, education, economic stability, and a healthy environment affect them and the people around them. These factors, referred to as social determinants of health, are greatly influenced by racism. Families may not always know how to begin the conversation or to help their child or adolescent understand and process their feelings when they encounter discrimination. Pediatric health professionals can provide parents and caregivers with age-appropriate and factual resources to offer advice on managing personally mediated and observed racism, tips on discussing stories in the media or incidents at school and in the community, and suggested resources for further learning.

Helping Minoritized Youth Resist Racism
Authors: Ward Janie Victoria
Published: October 2023

Pediatric health professionals, particularly school health service professionals (ie, school nurses, pediatricians, and school counselors), play an essential role in helping students stay healthy and reach their academic potential. Because racism is a risk factor in child development, all pediatric health professionals must understand how racial and ethnic protective factors support the psychosocial development of youth from racially and ethnically minoritized populations and reduce the harmful effects of racial bias and discrimination.

How Adults Can Promote Positive Racial and Ethnic Identities in the Context of Structural Racism
Authors: Hughes Diane L. , Adams-Bass Valerie N.
Published: October 2023

The 21st century has been marked by broad recognition of historical and contemporary racism against people of color in almost every aspect of American life, including where people live, how much they earn, their health status, which schools they attend, and what access they have to opportunities. As more individuals and institutions acknowledge structural racism and discrimination, adults who care for youth need information about how youth react to these phenomena and need strategies to help youth navigate and dismantle persistent racial injustice and inequality. Developmental science offers evidence-based knowledge in this realm. Parents and caregivers, pediatric health professionals, and others can look to racial socialization research to identify effective strategies to ground guidance for supporting youth as they navigate the challenges of racism in the United States.

The Intersection of Race, Sexuality, and Gender Identity During Adolescence
Authors: Dowshen Nadia , Sanders Renata Arrington
Published: October 2023

Adolescence, the transition period from childhood to adulthood, is a time for youth to gain independence and establish a secure identity. Progression occurs through cognitive, psychosocial, and emotional maturation, including advanced reasoning and abstract thinking, identity formation, and self-regulation. Adolescents may formulate multiple social identities (eg, racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender) during adolescence. This confluence of identities is known as intersectionality. Understanding the components of intersecting identities (eg, racial centrality, religiosity and spirituality, and social support) can offer protection, foster resilience, and, sometimes, buffer the adverse effects existing within multiple marginalized identities.

Bevezetés:A SARS-CoV-2-fertőzés a súlyossági fokától függően gyulladásos és képalkotó elváltozásokat okoz.Célkitűzés:Vajon a gyulladásos paraméterek profiljának változása összefüggésbe hozható-e a mellkasi képalkotásban megfigyelt változások súlyosságával? A tanulmány célja a különböző gyulladásos biomarkerek profiljának értékelése (széles körben elérhetők és rutinszerűen vizsgáltak COVID–19-betegekben), valamint annak megállapítása, hogy azok szintjének és aktivitásának változása a felvételkor és az elbocsátáskor összefügg-e a tüdőben megfigyelt érintettséggel, amelyet komputertomográfia (CT) segítségével határoztunk meg.Módszerek:Retrospektív megfigyeléses tanulmányunkban mellkas-CT-t, illetve vérvizsgálatokat végeztünk a kórházi felvételkor és a távozáskor. A páciensek követése és kezelése a nemzeti és nemzetközi irányelvek szerint történt.Eredmények:A szérum gyulladásos markerek profilja (az értékek a felvételkor és az elbocsátáskor, illetve a kórházi tartózkodás alatti változások) pozitív korrelációt mutat a tüdőérintettséggel, amit a mellkas-CT súlyossági pontszáma alapján értékeltünk. A gyulladásos szérummarkerek felvételkor tapasztalt fokozott aktivitása alig változott a kórházi tartózkodás alatt, súlyos COVID–19-betegséget és jelentős tüdőérintettséget jeleztek.

Flipping the Political Scale
Authors: Holmén Janne
Published: October 2023

This article investigates spatial representations of the political system in Swedish civics textbooks, 1900–2020. It challenges common assumptions about the spatiality of politics, such as the analogy between parties representing the upper classes and the right. Instead, the investigation reveals a complicated history, which includes a sudden shift in polarity of the political spectrum in the 1980s. Then, the political right finally moved to the spatial right in diagrams of the political system, after having been placed to the left for most of the 20th century. The article also discusses how diagrammatic representations of the party system changed in the 2010s, as democracy was perceived to be under threat and new dimensions emerged in politics. These puzzling empirical findings are analyzed with the help of theories on spatial and diagrammatic cognition, such as primary metaphors and spatial agency bias.
More than a few words?

Research shows that multilingual pupils’ school achievements and socio-affective development may improve when their home languages are valued positively and used as educational resources. Meaningful shifts in education for social justice must therefore be based on valuing pupils’ home languages and implementing sustainable translanguaging methods. However, the implementation of these methods is often limited to symbolic interactional acts and superficial engagement with multilingual practices. Based on longitudinal case studies of three teachers in the north of the Netherlands, the current study investigates what changes occur in the function of translanguaging strategies in primary classrooms participating in an educational design research intervention, to what extent interaction and multilingual language use evolves, and the presence of dialogic empathy. Using Kruskal-Wallis, Chi-Squared and Fisher's Exact analyses, we examined the frequency and quality of translanguaging interactions at three measurement points. An in-depth analysis of recorded video-data of several lessons per teacher (N = 123:06 minutes) revealed how opportunities for dialogic interaction arose with symbolic translanguaging. Although these opportunities were not always seized, they provided possibilities for active pupil participation.
Linguistic ‘productscape’ and ethnolinguistic vitality
Authors: Ganayim Deia , Mazzoli Maria
Published: October 2023

This paper examines the relationship between the ethnolinguistic vitality of the Arabic language and the linguistic landscape of dairy products in Israel, which we label the linguistic ‘productscape’ of milk products. The research stems from the following research questions: What is the social and political meaning of the printed language(s) on dairy products in Israel? How do they reflect the linguistic diversity of the country and how do they impact the visibility and, therefore, the vitality of Palestinian Arabic in Israel? Based on the analysis of ethnographic data of language on milk products and advertising campaigns from Tnuva, Tara and Yotvata, collected in Israel between 2015 and 2023, we argue that the realm of commercial products (and crucially of basic necessities, like milk products) has a prominent role in shaping the symbolic capital of languages within multilingual societies. Specifically, we highlight the responsibility of private dairy company managers, specifically in their choices of language on products packages and advertising campaigns, which contribute to the linguistic landscape, influence ethnolinguistic vitality, and ultimately play a role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The influence of eye model parameter variations on simulated eye-tracking outcomes
Authors: Fischer Joshua , Van den Heever David , Johan van der Merwe
Published: October 2023

The simulated data used in eye-tracking-related research has been largely generated using normative eye models with little consideration of how the variations in eye biometry found in the population may influence eye-tracking outcomes. This study investigated the influence that variations in eye model parameters have on the ability of simulated data to predict real-world eye-tracking outcomes. The real-world experiments performed by two pertinent comparative studies were replicated in a simulated environment using a high-complexity stochastic eye model that includes anatomically accurate distributions of eye biometry parameters. The outcomes showed that variations in anterior corneal asphericity significantly influence simulated eye-tracking outcomes of both interpolation and model-based gaze estimation algorithms. Other, more commonly varied parameters such as the corneal radius of curvature and foveal offset angle had little influence on simulated outcomes.
Behind the scenes: Impact of virtual backgrounds in educational videos on visual processing and learning outcomes
Authors: Catrysse Leen , Kerckhoffs Andrienne , Jarodzka Halszka
Published: October 2023

The increasing use of instructional videos in educational settings has emphasized the need for a deeper understanding of their design requirements. This study investigates the impact of virtual backgrounds in educational videos on students' visual information processing and learning outcomes.  Participants aged 14-17 (N=47) were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: a video with a neutral, authentic, or off-topic background. Their prior knowledge and working memory capacity (WMC) were measured before watching the video, and eye tracking data was collected during the viewing. Learning outcomes and student experiences were assessed after viewing. The eye tracking data revealed that a neutral background was the least distracting, allowing students to pay better attention to relevant parts of the video. Students found the off-topic background most distracting, but the negative effect on learning outcomes was not statistically significant. In contrast to expectations, no positive effect was observed for the authentic background. Furthermore, WMC had a significant impact on visual information processing and learning outcomes. These findings suggest that educators should consider using neutral backgrounds in educational videos, particularly for learners with lower WMC. Consequently, this research underscores the significance of careful design considerations in the creation of instructional videos.
A Study on the Relationship among Organizational Cynicism, Shared Leadership, Organization Trust, and Affirmative Commitment
Authors:   The Korea International Trade Research Institute, Um Ji-Young , Jeong Tae-Seog
Published: October 2023

Purpose - This study was conducted to empirically identify the relationship between organizational cynicism, shared leadership, organizational trust, and affirmative commitment targeting church organizations facing crises due to COVID-19. In addition, it was conducted to expand research in related fields by analyzing church organizations, which are non-profit organizations, from a management perspective.
Design/Methodology/Approach - For this research, 20 churches and five church-related institutions were used to conduct a survey, and 202 copies of the collected questionnaires were used for statistical analysis. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, frequency analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and correlation analysis were conducted, and the hypothesis was verified through structural equation model analysis.
Findings - As a result of the study, organizational cynicism and shared leadership each had a significant effect on emotional commitment through organizational trust. However, there was no direct effect, and organizational trust played a complete mediating role.
Research Implications - This study generally supports the results of previous studies that studied the influence relationship of organizational cynicism, shared leadership, organizational trust, and affirmative commitment variables, and slightly different results due to the characteristics of church organizations were also derived. Accordingly, this study tried to find ways to activate shared leadership and alleviate organizational cynicism. This study is meaningful in that it empirically analyzed the negative and positive factors affecting the organization at the same time by adapting the results of research conducted on companies to church organizations, which are non-profit.
The Effects of FDI inflows into Korea’s 16 Metropolitan Cities and Provinces on Regional Growth
Authors:   The Korea International Trade Research Institute, Choi Won-Seok , Eun Woong
Published: October 2023

Purpose - This study aimed to analyze the long-term effects of FDI inflows into 16 metropolitan cities and provinces on the economic growth of individual regions, and to compare and analyze differences in regional performance through these estimates.
Design/Methodology/Approach - This study analyzed the impact of FDI flows into 16 metropolitan cities and provinces on regional economic growth by applying the FMOLS model after organizing panel time series data from 1998 to 2021.
Findings - As a result of estimation through the Panel FMOLS model, when RFDI inflows to all metropolitan cities and provinces increased by 1%, GRDP increased by 0.21% on average in the long run. However, 12 individual metropolitan cities and provinces, which were statistically significant, showed different degrees of impact on growth. when RFDI inflows increased by 1%, GRDP showed various estimation results from lowest +0.09% (Ulsan) to the highest +0.93% (Gyeonggi). In addition, Ulsan (-0.12%p), Gangwon (-0.05%p), and Jeju (-0.11%p) fell below the overall average estimates as a result of comparing and analyzing growth differences between the average estimates of all metropolitan cities and provinces, and 12 individual metropolitan cities and provinces. This means that even if there is a positive growth of GRDP due to RFDI inflows, the ripple effect varies considerably between regions.
Research Implications - Metropolitan cities and provinces should promote the growth of GRDP by reorganizing the industrial structure to attract high-tech industries, sharing skilled manpower in the metropolitan economy, and converting to SOC for technological innovation.

Research Implications - The promotion of cooperation between Korean exporting companies and regional countries through IPEF is essential for securing core raw materials for semiconductors and electric vehicles in Southeast Asia, USMCA, and South America. In addition, Korean trade will be able to continue to find strengthening ties with technologically advanced countries on carbon reduction in response to the EU's ESG management.
An Analysis on the Determinants of the Wage Gap by Education and Income Inequality in the Korean Manufacturing Industry
Authors:   The Korea International Trade Research Institute, Zhang Zheng-Liang , Yoo Il-Seon
Published: October 2023

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore determinants that have a great impact on the wage gap of labors by education(wH /wL), and which factors lead to the extension of this and promote income inequality among workers in the Korean manufacturing industry since the 1990s.
Design/Methodology/Approach - Based on human capital theory, labors are divided into highly-educated and low-educated labor. The effective labor function was established as a form of the CES function. The estimation equation consisting of the labor ratio by education(LH / LL), technical progress, and globalization can be derived as factors affecting the wage gap by education. Based on this estimation equation, an empirical analysis was implemented to analyze the wage gap factors of labors. A fully-modified ordinary least square was used as the method of estimation.
Findings - In the Korean manufacturing industry, the absolute wage gap by education expanded while the relative wage gap narrowed due to an increase in LH / LL. It also expanded due to the effect of exogenous factors such as technical progress and globalization. Since the international financial crisis, the effect of LH / LL has decreased, and those of technical progress and globalization have increased, widening the relative wage gap which strengthens income inequality among workers.
Research Implications - Currently, the wage gap by education has widened in the manufacturing industry, and income inequality has become a social issue. Under the de-manufacturing industrial structure, there are policy implications to promote technical progress that can create employment by expanding investment in the service industry and increasing the productivity of low-educated labor.
Türkiye’de Kalkınma Planlarının Turizm Politikaları Bağlamında Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: Türkmen İsmet
Published: October 2023

Gelişmekte olan ülkeler özelinde turizm; iktisadi ve sosyo-kültürel sahalarda ülkeye değer katan mühim bir sektör olarak kabul görmektedir. Bu bağlamda bu ülkeler, günümüz dünyasında turizm sektöründe elde ettikleri gelirlerinden çok daha fazlasına ulaşmak ve pazar payını artırmak hükümet programları dahil olmak üzere bu sektöre ilişkin politikalar geliştirmektedirler. Ülkemizde ise bu sektörün geliştirilmesi ve güçlendirilmesine yönelik girişimleri 1923-1963 yılları arasını esas alan Planlı Dönem Öncesi ve 1963 yılından sonrasını Planlı Dönem şeklinde iki dönem altında değerlendirebilmek mümkündür. Kuruluş yıllarında Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin Lozan Antlaşması sonrasında iç ve dış dinamiklerin gölgesinde aşması gereken siyasi, iktisadi ve sosyal meselelerin yanında 1930’lu yıllarda dünya genelinde yaşanan ekonomik sorunlar, İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nın patlak vermesi gibi durumlar turizmin gelişmesine yönelik yatırım ve harcamaları hedeflenen değerlerin altına bırakmıştır. Türkiye’de planlı ekonomiye geçiş döneminde kalkınma planları içerisinde turizm sektörünün geliştirilmesi maksadıyla hazırlanan turizm politikaları bu sektörün ilerlemesi doğrultusunda mühim uygulamaların da hayata geçirilmesini sağlamıştır. Bu araştırma kapsamında, Planlı Dönem Kalkınma Planlarını esas alan hükümetler ve siyasi partilerin turizm sektörü politikalarının incelenmesi hedeflemektedir. Araştırma dahilinde, kaynak taraması yapılmak üzere ikincil veri kaynakları incelenmiş ve güncel literatür taraması neticesinde bu sektör özelinde gerçekleştirilen hedefler irdelenerek bu sektörün ülke ekonomisine faydaları değerlendirilmiştir.

Criminal Policy in the Sphere of Ensuring Migration and Environmental Security: Formulation of the Problem
Authors: Kravchenko Irina , Koryagina Svetlana
Published: October 2023

The authors propose an approach to researching criminal policy in the sphere of ensuring national security based on taking into account modern trends within the classical approach. The main part of the work contains an analysis of research aimed at establishing the correlation between the used concepts. The authors have analyzed legislative initiatives aimed at forming a legal understanding of the core of national security. They present some material regarding the comparative characteristics of legislative approaches to determining the basic concepts constituting the object of the study, which were included in the current and the previous Strategies of National Security. It is concluded that there are conceptual contradictions in the official and the scientific positions on determining the essence of the foundations of criminal policy of ensuring national security. Two system-forming structural elements of criminal policy in this sphere are singled out - provision of migration and environmental security. Contemporary trends in the condition, structure and dynamics of crimes committed by foreign citizens and environmental crimes are presented for the period of 2015-2021. It is established that the official methodologies of registering the identified facts of violating criminal legislation in the spheres of ensuring migration and environmental security suffer from common problems because a considerable share of crimes remains unregistered. While there is a general trend for declining rates of registered environmental and migration crimes, the authors stress that high levels of latency and the corruption component are significant features of analyzed phenomena which determine their contents. They conclude that, in order to obtain a realistic picture of the situation, it is necessary and inevitable that a combination of official crime registration methodologies and research approaches should be used to study the abovementioned types of crimes. At the same time, the drawbacks of this approach are also pointed out, primarily, its subjective character and absence of consistency. The authors note the dependence of environmental crimes on migrant crimes and their immediate connection in a certain sphere as they need to be studied together as inseparable elements of a single process of ensuring national security and minimizing modern challenges and threats. The authors also present a way of researching the discussed phenomena in their interrelation alongside a classic approach which emphasizes their independence.
A study on the Meaning of Murong(慕容)
Authors:   The Korean Association for Mongolian Studies, Kang Junyoung
Published: October 2023

Murong tribe was a branch of the Xianbei, and it was a powerful faction that established dynasties such as Former Yan(前燕) and Later Yan(後燕). Because of this, many scholars have been interested in their history and many studies have been conducted from an early age. However, research on their identity and origin is still lacking.
In particular, many scholars have attempted to analyze the meaning of ‘Murong’ used as their tribal name and surname. However until today scholar's opinions are divided and there is no established theory, so it has not been completely historically verified. Therefore, in this paper I summarized the existing research history on the meaning of Murong and looked at the shortcomings of the existing research results.
And I presented my own new view on the meaning of Murong. In other words, unlike the claims of existing scholars it is confirmed that ‘Murong’ is a transliteration of the word ‘Buyan’, which has the meaning of virtue, goodness, and blessing in the Altaic language world.
Multiple Targets Identified via Tagmentation (MulTI-Tag) v1.1 v2
Authors: Meers Lab Michael
Published: October 2023

We introduce a public protocol for Multiple Targets Identified via Tagmentation (MulTI-Tag), a chromatin profiling approach that acertains the genomic enrichment of multiple chromatin protein targets in the same cellular context. Multi-Tag uses unique, antibody-specific barcodes incorporated into pA-Tn5-loaded adapters to sequentially tagment targets and read out protein identity via barcode sequencing. MulTI-Tag attains profiles of similar quality to CUT&Tag, and crucially it attains exemplary specificity of barcode-derived target identification. MulTI-Tag can be used to profile multiple chromatin targets in individual cells via plate-based combinatorial indexing approaches, and in principle can be used with microfluidic platforms.

Measuring Receptivity to Eurosceptic Media Discourses in the Vicinity of War: Evidence from Romania
Authors: Stoica Mihnea S. , Voina Andreea
Published: October 2023

Ever since its accession to the EU, Romania was considered an exceptional case among member states, given the unwavering high levels of popular support for the EU. However, the most recent elections held in Romania brought about the unexpected emergence of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), a far-right populist party that strongly opposes the European project, which it accuses of resembling “a harmful hegemony.” The war in Ukraine represented another chance for AUR to bash the EU for its reaction in supporting Ukraine. The current article examines the degree to which anti-EU appeals of AUR influence Eurosceptic attitudes in Romania. In doing so, the present research pursues two distinct, but complementary goals. The first is to perform a content analysis of Eurosceptic narratives disseminated by AUR through its main social media channels since the start of the war. The second goal is then, employing four logistic regression models and using unique data collected through an online interactive survey, to test which of these narratives matter the most in shaping Eurosceptic attitudes. The article allows us to develop a nuanced understanding of what triggered a change of heart in a significant part of the Romanian electorate vis-à-vis the EU and the influence of Eurosceptic media discourse in this sense.
Assessing Inclusivity Through Job Quality in Digital Plat‐Firms
Authors: Arcidiacono Davide , Piccitto Giorgio
Published: October 2023

A great deal of the literature has underlined how job quality is a key element in individual well‐being. However, the rise in platform work challenges this issue, since not only do “plat‐firms” play an increasingly important role in job matching, work organization, and industrial relations, but they also increase the risks of a poorly inclusive socio‐technical system in terms of the quality of working conditions and accessibility. In this sense, the platform economy is intertwined with multiple forms of social exclusion by acting on pre‐existing inequalities that stratify workers within the labor market. This is particularly true in Italy, a country with a strongly dualistic labor market, which leads to a remarkable gap between insider and outsider workers. Therefore, the goal of our analysis is to evaluate the impact of the platform model on job quality in the Italian context. This will be accomplished by adopting an integrated and multidimensional perspective through the application of the OECD Job Quality Framework. The analysis identifies how job quality is differently affected by the type of platform work involved in terms of creating differentiated patterns of social inclusion/exclusion in the case of platform workers.
