Published: August 2024

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are being studied extensively as nanostructures for novel and enhanced biomedical applications. Nanoparticles in bone grafts have been shown to speed up fracture healing by providing a finer structure for bone tissue engineering. They are known to have excellent antimicrobial properties due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and small particle size, without affecting the material's mechanical properties. AgNPs' distinct property makes them the preferred filler in a wide range of biomaterials, where they play an important role in enhancing properties. AgNP-containing biomaterials can be easily tailored to meet specific requirements in the development of bone tissue. Adjusting size, shape, composition, and surface charge can enhance their effectiveness in interacting with bone cells, promoting cell attachment, and delivering growth factors. Using AgNP-based biomaterials can help prevent or reduce the formation of biofilms. The utilization of these materials in bone tissue engineering has demonstrated potential in treating musculoskeletal conditions and bone traumas. They are versatile for various applications such as bone implants, scaffolds, wound dressings, and antibiotic delivery systems. This review will cover several special topics, including silver-based biomaterials, toxic properties, morphology and mechanical properties of silver-based biomaterials, and applications of silver-based biomaterials in medical applications.
Power of Insurgency: Effect on Women and Children
Authors: Manoharan Namratha
Published: August 2024

Militancy or insurgency affects all age groups- the old and the young in the same manner. In fact, violence associated with militancy can wreck the young psyche a lot. One can say that the younger generation is more vulnerable to the violence and terrors associated with wars and terrorism than the experienced. In certain parts of the world there are regions which are notorious for insurgency which takes place there. In India, Kashmir- hailed as ‘Paradise on Earth’ is one such region where war has been waged throughout history. Most often people speak of the lost beauty of Kashmir and the effects of the war on the people of Kashmir at large. But one tends to overlook the harmful impact of wars on young minds and the women. Paro Anand has given vent to the agony and fright in the minds of the children in the Kashmir valley, especially during the time of the recent Kargil war. The young minds are least bothered about the political and social ideology behind a war or a terrorist attack. This paper is an attempt to investigate Paro Anand’s works, coming under the genre of children’s fiction, especially her novels No Guns At My Son’s Funeral and Weed to analyse the plight of the young generations of Kashmir. It would also explore how the power structures within the family shifts once the man in the family leaves home to join terrorist outfits. It is also an attempt to study about the militant power; how it lures the youth with its ideologies, and the power wielded by the armed forces, and the way in which it affects the common people residing in the valley.

Published: August 2024

Desde que la Organización Mundial de la Salud decretó como emergencia de salud pública internacional a la COVD-19 por el alto riesgo para todos los países y su rápida transmisibilidad, cada gobierno tomó las medidas pertinentes para salvar vidas. El gobierno mexicano optó por el confinamiento de la sociedad, el “quédate en casa” para evitar el contagio­. Si bien esta medida fue crucial, se ha empezado a conocer el impacto en los adultos, su comportamiento en el consumo de alimentos, los hábitos alimentarios, su selección, así como, el qué, cuánto, cuándo o cómo comer. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto del confinamiento provocado por la COVID-19 sobre la conducta alimentaria y la alimentación intuitiva en adultos, antes y durante la pandemia. El estudio se basó en un formulario aplicado en línea. Se recogieron 280 respuestas válidas. Los resultados indican cambios en los hábitos alimentarios, el consumo de algunos alimentos incrementó o disminuyó, así como cambios en las razones por las cuales se alimentaron los participantes. Nuestros hallazgos indican la importancia de mantener y/o crear buenos hábitos alimentarios no solo en la vida cotidiana, sino incluso durante crisis de salud mundial e histórica con la finalidad de crear y mantener una vida sana.

Stabilization of symmetry-protected long-range entanglement in stochastic quantum circuits
Authors: Angelidi Iosifina , Szyniszewski Marcin , Pal Arijeet
Published: August 2024

Long-range entangled states are vital for quantum information processing and quantum metrology. Preparing such states by combining measurements with unitary gates opened new possibilities for efficient protocols with finite-depth quantum circuits. The complexity of these algorithms is crucial for the resource requirements on a large-scale noisy quantum device, while their stability to perturbations decides the fate of their implementation. In this work, we consider stochastic quantum circuits in one and two dimensions comprising randomly applied unitary gates and local measurements. These operations preserve a class of discrete local symmetries, which are broken due to the stochasticity arising from timing and gate imperfections. In the absence of randomness, the protocol generates a symmetry-protected long-range entangled state in a finite-depth circuit. In the general case, by studying the time evolution under this hybrid circuit, we analyze the time to reach the target entangled state. We find two important time scales that we associate with the emergence of certain symmetry generators. The quantum trajectories embody the local symmetry with a time scaling logarithmically with system size, while global symmetries require exponentially long times. We devise error-mitigation protocols that significantly lower both time scales and investigate the stability of the algorithm to perturbations that naturally arise in experiments. We also generalize the protocol to realize toric code and Xu-Moore states in two dimensions, opening avenues for future studies of anyonic excitations. Our results unveil a fundamental relationship between symmetries and dynamics across a range of lattice geometries, which contributes to a broad understanding of the stability of preparation algorithms in terms of phase transitions. Our work paves the way for efficient error correction for quantum state preparation.

Published: August 2024

Inpago-Protani rice is a new rice variety from Jenderal Soedirman University, Indonesia. Producing rice flour as an intermediate product is a practical rice processing method. However, the utilization of rice flour as a wheat flour alternative is limited due to the differences in their gelatinization qualities. Fermentation with Lactobacillus sp. changes the gelatinization properties of rice flour by increasing the number of microorganisms and stimulating their metabolism in food materials. This study sought to determine how the physical and chemical qualities of Inpago-Protani rice flour are affected by the duration of fermentation, the concentration of Bimo-CF starter, and other factors. Applying 0.6% Bimo-CF starter for 12 hours at 30°C was the most effective method for fermenting Inpago-Protani rice flour. The resulting rice flour had a yield of 40.3%, a protein content of 10.3% (db), a carbohydrate content of 77.1%, a fat content of 0.4%, an ash content of 0.5%, a moisture content of 12.2%, and 338.7 kcal of energy. The enhanced characteristics of fermented rice flour may increase its versatility for subsequent processing.
Effect of Substituting Coconut Milk with Palm Milk on Shelf Life, Physicochemical and Sensory Properties of Nasi Dagang
Authors: Zulkifli Nur Afiqah , Othman Azizah , Seow Lay Jing , Seow Eng Keng
Published: August 2024

A popular Malaysian dish called Nasi Dagang (ND), which originated in Terengganu, consists of steamed rice in coconut milk (CM), fish curry, and additional ingredients such as pickled cucumber and carrots. However, CM with high saturated fat content is always associated with many diseases due to the increased amount of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Thus, palm milk (PM) at various concentrations (ND0 with 100% CM, ND1 substituted with 25% PM, ND2 substituted with 50% PM, ND3 substituted with 75% PM and ND4 substituted with 100% PM) were investigated in the present study to examine its effect on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of ND. Substitution of PM in ND demonstrated an apparent effect on its nutritional value, shelf life, and quality, as evidenced by a greater calcium (4.51 ppm), carbohydrates (16.51%), and lesser fat (5.93%) contents in ND4 than that of ND0. This study discovered that although ND with PM substitution took a longer time to retrograde and turn rancid, the rising moisture content fostered the growth of microorganisms. According to this study, ND prepared with PM has a softer texture since it contains less amylose content (0.37%). Next, sensory acceptability analysis demonstrated that ND1 obtained a higher score than other ND for all aspects, including overall acceptance (7.24). The results showed that substitution of PM in ND had a strong influence on its nutritional value, shelf life, and sensory acceptability. Hence, it can be concluded that PM has a potential to replace CM in ND with certain amount of concentration.
Gestión de las relaciones con los clientes (CRM) y competitividad

Los autores Chan Kim y Renée Mauborgne plantearon en su bestseller “La estrategia del océano azul”, la necesidad del diseño de estrategias diferenciadoras para las organizaciones que están o se incorporan al mercado, las cuales buscan evitar la muerte segura al “hacer lo mismo” que todos hacen, en donde estos escritores denominan “océanos rojos” y sugieren la búsqueda de “océanos azules”, usada como metáfora para designar zonas de no competencia. Desde hace varios años se viene hablando en mercadeo y como una estrategia gerencial de la herramienta CRM que significa Customer Relation ship Management o gestión de las relaciones con los clientes. Definida como filosofía, mecanismo o estrategia que a partir de los sistemas de información centra los esfuerzos en el conocimiento del cliente, descubriendo sus necesidades para aumentar su grado de satisfacción, extendiendo la más escasa y difícil fidelidad a la empresa e incrementando la rentabilidad y beneficios del cliente a la organización, mediante el análisis de las informaciones de ellos por medio de diferentes medios y canales con los cuales se tiene contacto. El eficiente manejo del CRM puede convertirse en una fuente de ventaja competitiva, que a través de un desarrollo dinámico hacia esquemas como el CEM (manejo de experiencias con el cliente) logra ubicar a la organización en los océanos azules. Lastimosamente estaestrategia se ha convertido en una corriente “snob”, que ha vulgarizado su verdadero valor, desviando su auténtica eficacia, limitándose muchas veces a manejar unas bases de datos que no están atadas a estrategia alguna, solamente representada a través de tarjetas cliente, las cuales dejaron hace rato de ser sorpresa, toda vez que estas pululan. La ponencia trata estos aspectos y el autor expone una propuesta que direcciona a través de un enfoque diferente del CRM.

Heatwave-induced paternal effects have limited adaptive benefits in offspring
Authors: Irish Sara , Sutter Andreas , Pinzoni Livia , Sydney Mabel , Travers Laura , Murray David , DeCoriolis Jean-Charles , Immler Simone
Published: August 2024

As the threat of climate change and associated heatwaves grows, we need
to understand how natural populations will respond. Inter-generational
non-genetic inheritance may play a key role in rapid adaptation, but
whether such mechanisms are truly adaptive and sufficient to protect
wild populations is unclear. The contribution of paternal effects in
particular is not fully understood, even though the male reproductive
system may be highly sensitive to heatwaves. We used the zebrafish Danio
rerio to investigate the effects of heatwaves on male fertility and
assess potential adaptive benefits to their offspring in a number of
large-scale heatwave experiments. Heatwave conditions had negative
effects on male fertility by reducing gamete quality and fertilisation
success, and we found indications of an adaptive effect on hatching in
offspring produced by heatwave-exposed males. Our findings highlight the
importance of including male and female fertility when determining
species ability to cope with extreme conditions and suggest that
parental effects provide limited adaptive benefits.
«La riqueza inagotable que ofrece el huano a la república». Gibbs Crawley Co. y la litoralización de la actividad económica en el sur andino
Authors: Colàs Pol ,   Universitat de Barcelona, España
Published: August 2024

En el marco del proceso de litoralización económica vivido durante el siglo XIX y tomando el sur andino, en este caso las zonas costeras del Perú y Bolivia, como área de estudio, en el artículo presente se trata de destacar las estrategias de distintos actores políticos y económicos (Estado, empresas de capital internacional, intermediarios locales) para con el guano. A través del estudio de documentación ejecutiva, legislación y los libros de cuentas de la empresa inglesa Gibbs Crawley Co., la acción de la cual fue central para la explotación guanera inicial, se concluye afirmando el peso específico del guano para la formación de polos económicos de importancia en las costas de ambos países que progresivamente diezmaron el calibre de la recaudación interior (para la hacienda, sobre todo peruana) o replanificaron los proyectos nacionales (viéndose un giro hacia los orientes bolivianos), pero en todo caso dieron paso al asentamiento de la frontera económica capitalista en regiones otrora desérticas.
Repúblicas, Imperios y repúblicas imperiales. El conflicto de Mejillones. c. 1830 - c. 1866
Authors: Sánchez Barberán Matías ,   Universidad Bernardo O'Higgins, Centro de Estudios Históricos, Chile,   Mondes Américains, Centre de Recherches sur les Mondes Américains, Francia
Published: August 2024

Revisando la renovación de la historia imperial y de los mecanismos informales de expansión, el artículo revisa la cuestión de Mejillones. Si las historias nacionalistas han orientado el debate hacia las cuestiones de derechos jurídicos de Bolivia y Chile sobre el territorio, el análisis de fuentes españolas y la perspectiva imperial revelan el posicionamiento del desierto de Atacama en el radar de los imperios europeos. Territorio sometido a particularidades significativas (indeterminación jurídica, trabajadores enganchados provenientes de Valparaíso, autoridades bolivianas frágiles y desconectadas de los centros de poder, rol preponderante de circuitos marítimos), el «despoblado de Atacama» se transforma en veinte años en un punto importante de la agenda regional. La evolución del territorio pone a prueba la capacidad de las autoridades bolivianas, favoreciendo discretamente los intereses de los cuales el gobierno chileno se hace el portavoz. El artículo insiste en la intención de hacer de la cuestión de Mejillones un vector del nacionalismo. Identifica en esta estrategia a sectores conservadores reagrupados en el montt-varismo, que transforman las relaciones exteriores en una tribuna para incidir en el debate político nacional y desmarcarse de las críticas liberales.
PHILOSOPHICAL AND CULTURAL TRENDS OF BUDDHISM IN THE WEST: THERAVĀDA, MAHĀYĀNA, VAJRAYĀNA
Authors: Kolesnyk Ihor
Published: August 2024

The article examines the cultural and philosophical trends of the main branches of Buddhism that spread in the 20th century in the West: Theravāda (Vipassana Movement), Mahāyāna (Zen) and Vajrayāna (Tibetan Schools). The influence of external (colonial policy of Western countries) and internal (request for modernization) factors in the environment of traditional schools, caused a need for the formation of a new paradigm in the teachings of the Buddha. Buddhist modernism is at the same time an attempt to protect and preserve the heritage, and also to reach a wider world audience with the most powerful ideas. I analyzed in the article some examples how modern trends develop throughout the 20th and at the beginning of the 21st centuries in the context of the dialogue between the West and Buddhism. The formation of a new agency and subjectivity of Buddhists depends to a large extent on the ability to transform, interpret and propose one's own vision of the future of man, society, and the world in general. There are good signs that Buddhist trends are actually very powerful and influential. The trends contain certain ideas and tendencies to which I pay considerable attention in the research: psychologization of teaching, emphasis on meditative practices, multi-disciplinary dialogue with science, urbanization, emancipation, social, environmental, legal activism, ecumenism, digitalization, etc.
VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT IN THE PROCESS OF ONTOGENETIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHILD
Authors: Khrypun Daria
Published: August 2024

The article considers the periods of vocabulary development in preschool children. In particular, it is stated that the period of the fastest vocabulary enrichment is preschool age. The article presents data from various researchers on the number of words used by children of different age categories. Based on A. Bogush’s research, it is stated that children begin to understand speech from three months of age, and examples of individual words uttered by a child up to the age of nine to ten months are given. Hypersensitive phases are presented in the article, in particular, the first phase is characterized by the accumulation of the first words, the second by the improvement of phonetic speech, the assimilation of the grammatical structure of speech, the development of dialogic speech, and the third by the formation of contextual speech, that is, the independent creation of a text. By the age of six, a child must correctly pronounce all the sounds of his native language and have a sufficient active vocabulary as well as practically master the grammatical structure of the language. It is noted that, despite the given statistical data, there are some discrepancies regarding the absolute composition of the vocabulary and its growth, which may be related to the physiological characteristics of the child or the environment that surrounds the child. It is determined that in the general system of language work in preschool education, vocabulary enrichment, consolidation and activation occupy a leading place.

Authors: Tika Luth Fiyyah Atiqah , Mufit Fatni
Published: August 2024

21st century learning demands student centered learning and requires integration of technology in learning including augmented reality (AR) technology. This study aims to determine the needs of teachers and students for cognitive conflict-based teaching materials that are integrated with augmented reality (AR) so as to increase student understanding and reduce misconceptions that occur in light wave material. This type of research is preliminary research. The instrument used was a questionnaire regarding the needs of learning devices and the implementation of physics learning as well as journal analysis of students' conceptual understanding of the material of light waves. This test was conducted at several schools in the city of Padang with a total of 130 students and 3 teachers. The results of the study stated that learning was still centered on the teacher and there was no learning model to overcome misconceptions and there was no teaching material integrated with augmented reality (AR). The results of the journal analysis concluded that students' understanding of the concept of light waves was still low. Therefore, it is necessary to develop cognitive conflict-based teaching materials integrated with augmented reality (AR) on light waves in accordance with 21st century learning.
The Effect of Implementing a Case Study-Based Problem Based Learning Model on Student Learning Outcomes at SMAN 2 Pulau Punjung
Authors: Samsul Anuar Zafira Anuar
Published: August 2024

This research was motivated by the low physics learning outcomes of students at SMA Negeri 2 Pulau Punjung. This is because in the learning process the teacher has not used a learning model that suits the characteristics of the material so that students are passive in following the learning process. The solution used to motivate and activate student learning in a pleasant learning atmosphere is to apply a case study-based problem based learning model. The type of research carried out was a quasi-experiment using a Randomized Possttest Only Control Group Design with sampling carried out using a census sampling technique (saturated sampling). Based on the results of the research and discussions that have been carried out, it can be concluded that there are differences in good physics learning outcomes for students in class done. From the conclusions above, we can obtain a significant difference in the use of a problem based learning model based on case studies on the physics learning outcomes of class XI Phase F students at SMA Negeri 2 Pulau Punjung for the 2023/2024 academic year.

In the shadow of strong traditional customs, Batak Toba women are subjected to the authority of men, be it husbands or male relatives, and are confined to the role of Parhobas (servants) for every family event. Ivone Gebara's thoughts would provide inspiration to address the challenges of gender inequality through empowering women and inclusive human values in open dialogue, aiming for personal and social transformations that are inclusive, just, and sustainable, following the social-cultural context of Batak Toba in Indonesia. The focus of Ivone Gebara's theological thought aligns with the principles of Liberation Theology, emphasizing the importance of efforts to connect the Christian faith with the lives of communities affected by social and economic injustice, along with solidarity with the poor and oppressed. This research used a literature review method by examining recent articles on Ivone Gebara's thoughts. She critically observes the patriarchal structures in society and the Church, advocating for the need for critical reflection in inclusive and egalitarian interpretations of women's experiences to promote gender equality. Gebara's thoughts serve as a foundation to enrich public narratives and support education and feminist awareness for social change within the Batak Toba community. Contextualizing Gebara's ideas in Indonesia, particularly in the Batak Toba culture, can support movements and awareness regarding religious norms and encourage open discussions about women's roles in diverse societies.

Published: August 2024

This research aims to explore and analyze the positive influence of implementing Faith Formation based on age groups and sustainability (Formatio Iman Berjenjang dan Berkelanjutan) by applying design thinking as a pastoral method on the faith formation of Alpha Generation children. Faith formation based on age groups and sustainable as the pastoral focus of the Archdiocese of Semarang aims to form Catholics who believe in an intelligent, resilient, missionary and dialogical way that leads to information (knowledge), formation (formation), and transformation (change to be more faithful to achieve the perfection of the Christian life). The Design Thinking method is useful for designing creative and innovative implementation strategies according to the age level and needs of Alpha generation children. The research applies qualitative research methods through observation and interviews with children who join the Children's Faith Assistance (PIA), facilitators, parents, and parish priests to see the experience and application of FIBB with the Design Thinking approach for children. Based on the results of observations and data collection, FIBB with a design thinking approach has worked very well and can answer the needs of the people, for example, the implementation of Children's Catechesis which is held in the smallest unit of the parish and Catholic Parenting. Both mentoring programs are a form of innovative faith formation design that is based on the specific needs of the community. Through the design thinking approach created in coordination with FIBB, children's attendance in Children's Faith Development and donations for them have increased significantly
Faith that Leads to Action: Perspectives from the Acts of the Apostles
Authors: Ranjar C. Sunil ,   Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome
Published: August 2024

I have been asked to speak on the theme of the conference, Faith in Action: Theology for the Changing World, from a biblical perspective, in particular from the perspective of the Acts of the Apostles. While it is true that the book of Acts does offer a cogent theological framework for a dynamic Church and world, its preceding volume, the Gospel of Luke, cannot be ignored altogether, since both Luke and Acts form a unified whole. Therefore, for this presentation it is opportune to start with the Acts of the Apostles and then go back to the Gospel of Luke.
Бассейн р. Гижгит (Северный Кавказ): селевая опасность и риски для хвостохранилища ТГОК

Published: August 2024

В середине прошлого столетия долина реки Гижгит (Кавказ, республика Кабардино-Балкария) в устье была перегорожена хвостохранилищем Тырныаузского ГОКа (ТГОК). Сама река была признана неселеопасной, а отвод речного стока в обход хвостохранилища был организован с помощью тоннеля. После двух селевых паводков в начале XXI в., оказавших влияние на функционирование водопропускного тоннеля, были высказаны опасения о каскадном риске для хвостохранилища и его дамбы в случае новых селевых явлений. В данном отчете собраны и систематизированы архивные и авторские материалы о характере и механизмах современных экзогенных процессов в долине р. Гижгит, имеющих отношение к зарождению селевых потоков, а также сделаны попытки оценить степень их современной опасности для гидротехнических сооружений.
The city as a “fourth skin”: the birthplace of privacy
Authors: Chesnokova L. V.
Published: August 2024

The article describes the city as the birthplace of private space in the Western European society of Modern times. The need for private space is increasing due to such sociocultural processes as industrialization and urbanization, which have separated the place of work and the place of family leisure. The greatest need for privacy arises in the bourgeois stratum of wealthy and educated citizens. If clothes are called ”second skin, housing is called ”third skin”, then the city can be called ”fourth skin”, since it also performs the function of protection from the dangers of the outside world and provides an individual with the opportunity to control access to personal space.
Industrial Composition of Syndicated Loans and Banks’ Climate Commitments

In the past two decades, a number of banks joined global initiatives aimed to mitigate climate change by “greening” their asset portfolios. We study whether banks that made such commitments have a different emission exposure of their portfolios of syndicated loans than banks that did not. We rely on loan-level information with global coverage combined with country-industry information on emissions. We find that all banks have reduced their loan-emission exposures over the last 8 years. However, we do not find differences between banks that did and those that did not signal their sustainability goals, with the exception of early signers of Principles of Responsible Investments (PRI), who already had lower exposure to emissions through their syndicated lending. In addition, banks that signed PRI shortened the maturity of the loans extended to highly-emitting industries but only temporarily. Thus, we conclude that banks reduced their exposure to climate transition risks on average, but voluntary climate commitments did not contribute to syndicated loan reallocation away from highly-emitting sectors.

This article examines the issues of transmission and intensity of financial contagion through the currency channel among countries in the Asian region during three crisis periods: global financial crises, global energy crises, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The empirical research results presented indicate the susceptibility of Asian markets to financial contagion. Univariate DCC-GARCH models and the Forbes – Rigobon rolling test were employed to assess this phenomenon. The results showed varying susceptibility of Asian markets to financial contagion during crisis periods. The Japanese yen exhibited the highest susceptibility, while the South Korean won proved to be the most resilient Asian currency. The use of the results obtained in practical activities will make it possible to identify vulnerabilities in the foreign exchange market management system and prevent possible economic losses.

Published: August 2024

This article analyzes the use of artificial intelligence technologies in forming a credit database of corporate borrowers for a bank. It provides a definition of the credit database of corporate borrowers and characterizes the process of its formation, highlighting several key stages. A structural diagram of such a database is presented. The use of specific artificial intelligence technologies is examined according to the specifics of the main stages of its formation and the level of structured information accumulated. The possibilities of generative artificial intelligence models in constructing the structural diagram of the credit database are identified. An algorithm of artificial intelligence actions in forming the database is described. The economic benefits of the bank from automating this process based on intelligent technologies are determined. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that leveraging artificial intelligence capabilities in forming bank customer databases can positively impact the efficiency of the entire corporate lending process and credit portfolio management.
