The Influence of Sociocultural Practices of Society on Health
Authors: Ratnasari Dewi
Published: December 2023

The influence of people's sociocultural practices on health has been a major focus in global health studies. In an era of rapid change, recognition of the complex impact of cultural practices, values, and traditions on physical and mental well-being is increasingly important. Health today is thought to be the result of interactions involving biological, social, environmental, and psychological factors. The study collected and analyzed literature, qualitative approaches, and field data to investigate the influence of sociocultural practices on health. The study's findings point to several key aspects in this context. Diet and physical activity have a significant role in sociocultural influences on health. People's diets that reflect cultural values and the availability of natural resources can contribute to chronic disease risk. Physical activity, which is also influenced by social and cultural factors, has an impact on overall health. Traditional medicine also has a great influence on health. Some communities still rely on hereditary medical practices, which can often complement modern medical care. Social support also has an impact on mental and physical health, with strong support networks playing a role in reducing stress and improving well-being. In addition, perceptions of disease and spiritual factors also play a role in sociocultural practices that affect health. Some communities may associate illness with spiritual aspects, while others are more likely to see it as a result of biological factors. In conclusion, the sociocultural practices of society have a strong influence on the health of individuals and communities. Diet, traditional medicine practices, social support, and perceptions of disease are all interrelated and form complex interactions. A deeper understanding of these factors is important in developing a holistic and sustainable health approach that considers cultural and social diversity. Collaboration between health professionals, social scientists, and the public is needed to optimize the positive impact and reduce the negative impact of sociocultural practices on health.

Medical professionals need methods that provide reliable information in diagnosing and monitoring neurological diseases. Among such methods, studies based on medical image analysis are essential among the active research topics in this field. Tumor segmentation is a popular area, especially with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Early diagnosis of tumours plays an essential role in the treatment process. This situation also increases the survival rate of the patients. Manually segmenting a tumour from MR images is a difficult and time-consuming task within the anatomical knowledge of medical professionals. This has necessitated the need for automatic segmentation methods. Convolutional neural networks (CNN), one of the deep learning methods that provide the most advanced results in the field of tumour segmentation, play an important role. This study, tumor segmentation was performed from brain and heart MR images using CNN-based U-Net and ResNet50 deep network architectures. In the segmentation process, their performance was tested using Dice, Sensitivity, PPV and Jaccard metrics. High performance levels were sequentially achieved using the U-Net network architecture on brain images, with success rates of approximately 98.47%, 98.1%, 98.85%, and 96.07%

Published: December 2023

To reduce flood damages, the Ministry of Environment in Korea has provided a flood inundation map so that people can expediently identify flood-prone areas. However, the current flood inundation maps have been produced based on the DEM which makes it difficult to represent realistic situations due to the lack of reproduction of land surface conditions. This study aims to provide more accurate and detailed flood inundation maps for flooding events due to river overflow in small urban areas. In this study, flood inundation analysis is performed using the river analysis system, HEC-RAS 2D, with the DSM and the DEM of urban areas in the Anyang Stream Basin, Korea to examine the differences in terms of terrain data and flooded area. Finally, for urban areas with dense buildings and congested road networks, the flood inundation analysis based on DSM can represent a more realistic flood situation and create an appropriate flood inundation map.

Authors: Vladimír Smejkal  , Jindřich Kodl
Published: December 2023

Civil liability legislation is currently being developed, but little attention has been paid to the issue of criminal liability for the actions of robots. The study describes the generations of robots and points out the concerns about robots’ autonomy. The more autonomy robots obtain, the greater capacity they have for self-learning, yet the more difficulty in proving the failure foreseeability when designing and whether culpability or the elements of a specific crime can be considered. In this study, the tort liability depending on the category of robots is described, and the possible solutions are analyzed. It is shown that there is no need to introduce new criminal law constructions, but to focus on the process of proof. Instead of changing the legal system, it is necessary to create the most detailed audit trail telling about the robot’s actions and surroundings or to have a digital twin of the robot.

Authors: Sari Selly Ratna , Guttifera Guttifera , Yesi Desri
Published: December 2023

Pempek mempunyai masa simpan yang cukup singkat, sehingga pengusaha pempek sudah banyak memasarkannya dalam kondisi beku (frozen). Proses pembekuan dapat mengakibatkan pempek kehilangan kekenyalan dan tekstur menjadi lembek ketika dimasak ulang. Perubahan tekstur tersebut mengakibatkan kurangnya tingkat kesukaan konsumen, sehingga perlu ditambahkan bahan aditif karagenan untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh karagenan terhadap karakteristik pempek yang dibekukan (frozen) baik dari segi fisik, kimia dan mikrobiologi. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap non factorial (RAL) dengan perlakuan antara lain konsentrasi pengenyal (Karagenan) (A): A0 = 0%, A1 = 0,5%, A2 = 1% dan A3 = 1,5%. Parameter yang ditentukan antara lain kimia (kadar air dan protein), fisik (tekstur), dan Mikrobiologi (Total plate count). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa formulasi sampel A3 (penambahan karagenan 1,5 %) menghasilkan tekstur tertinggi (paling kenyal) yaitu 626,82, TPC dan konsentrasi air terendah TPC 3,17 x 105 dan 57,63 % serta protein 14,45. Penambahan karagenan pada pembuatan pempek frozen mampu mempertahankan kekenyalan pempek yang telah disimpan selama 4 minggu pada penyimpanan beku dengan proses pemasakan ulang.

The demand for glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel manufacturing, is anticipated to surpass supply, necessitating efficient conversion techniques for sustainability. The importance of effective conversion techniques is illustrated by the development of a system of fractional order differential equations using a literature reaction model. This study focuses on understanding and describing potential glycerol hydrogenolysis pathways by investigating the kinetics of a catalyzed hydrogenolysis model using qualitative analysis of fractional order differential equations, as there is limited research on the underlying reactions. The model is analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using fixed point theorems. It is found to be generalized Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stable. The impact of the fractional operator is studied through computational simulations using a two-step Lagrange polynomial. Graphs at different fractional derivative orders show the significant influence of the fractional order on the model's classes. Even though the results are based on a particular kinetic model, they aim to improve comprehension and description of the process.

Published: December 2023

Thalassemia major, as a red blood cell disorder that is passed from both parents to their children, requires high costs and the use of iron chelation drugs throughout the patient's life. Pharmacoeconomics studies in patients with thalassemia major needs to be conducted to determine the efficiency and effectiveness of selecting oral iron chelation drugs. This study aims to analyze the cost and cost-effectiveness of using oral iron chelation drugs such as deferasirox and deferiprone. This systematic review was conducted from Pubmed and Scopus, to identify the cost-effectiveness of deferasirox and deferiprone. Eight studies met the inclusion criteria for the review. farthermor selected the papers, extracted the data, and assessed the methodological quality of the included documents. In brief, deferasirox is cost-effective than deferiprone. Moreover, the cost-effectiveness is not an absolute issue when in different countries (regions) the results are opposite for other countries (regions). As a result, the local/national context had a substantial influence on the results of the pharmacoeconomic evaluation. From the average cost-effectiveness ratio, it can be concluded that deferasirox is more cost-effective than deferiprone.

Authors: Massamba Nathalie
Published: December 2023

Purpose: To describe macular anatomy and abnormalities on Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) in a large series of patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2).

Methods: Retrospective review of all consecutive patients with NF2.

Results: A total of 166 eyes in 83 patients with NF2 were identified from February 2014 to May 2015. Macular SD-OCT was available for 124 eyes (75%). Isolated epiretinal membrane (ERM) was diagnosed in 52% of patients (n=43) with bilateral ERM in 15 cases. ERM was commonly fine (64%), non-retractile (90%), extra-foveolar (90%), discontinuous (78%) and without posterior vitreous detachment (93%). Combined Hamartoma of the Retina and Retinal Pigmented Epithelium (CHRRPE) was seen in 12% of patients (n=10); three of which were bilateral. Additional OCT anomalies identified include Congenital Hypertrophy of Retinal Pigment Epithelium (CHRPE), internal limiting membrane irregularities, inner retinal tufts, serpentine-like extensions into the vitreoretinal interface, focal alterations of inner retinal lamination and infiltration of the posterior vitreous cortex. All retinal anomalies identified suggest pathological involvement of Müller cells.

Conclusion: Our series underscores the utility of macular SD-OCT in patients with NF2. While ERM and vitreoretinal interface abnormalities are the most common macular pathology identified in NF2, all SD-OCT pathology suggests Muller cell involvement.

Authors: Kılıç Meltem , Aydıngülü Sakalsız Seren
Published: December 2023

In the study, it is aimed to test the validity of the Pecking Order Theory and Trade-Off Theory, which are among the theories on which the capital structure decisions of companies, which are extremely important in terms of firm value, are based, on sustainable companies included in the BIST Sustainability Index, since they carry out activities to reduce the cost of capital. In the study, the total indebtedness ratios, long-term indebtedness ratios and short-term indebtedness ratios of 40 companies included in the BIST Sustainability Index between 2015-2021, as well as liquidity, asset structure, non-debt tax shield, tax, profitability ratio, change in assets, firm size and the relationship between firm risk is examined. In general, the capital structure preferences of sustainable firms support the Trade-Off Theory. In addition, it was revealed that the dummy variable created for the periods when companies entered the BIST Sustainability Index was statistically significantly and positively related to their borrowing behavior. This result is interpreted in the direction of an increase in the borrowing rates of the companies after they are included in the index.

The scientific revolution, which developed in Western Europe during the 16th-18th centuries, was one of the most significant fruits of the activity of European universities. The cultural movement of Renaissance, born in Italy a century earlier, which moved the center of attention of scholars on man, ‘blacksmith of his destiny’ and on his dignity, with a marked curiosity for the laws of nature, greatly contributed to it. Another propulsive factor were the maritime expeditions across the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian Oceans, promoted by the kingdoms of Portugal and Spain at the end of the ‘Reconquista’, between the 15th and the 16th centuries. Their vessels crossed the Equator Line, discovering new lands and new skies. Celestial Mechanics was at the center of that peaceful revolution, owing to the initiative of scholars as Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton. The Jesuit missionaries, sent to China by the Roman Catholic Church with evangelizing purposes, propagated among the scholars of the imperial court the use of the astronomical telescope and the adoption of the experimental method in science. Unfortunately, the Roman Catholic Church condemned in the same years the propagation of the heliocentric theory, because it contradicted the Bible, of which the Church considered to be its exclusive interpreter. This was a hindrance to the advancement of modern Celestial Mechanics in the Far East, until the Church ceased to obstruct the heliocentric theory toward the middle of the 18th century. It took another century for that theory to be fully accepted by Chinese scholars.

Hypercholesterolemia is a condition by an increase total cholesterol and Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, which can lead the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines Interleukin-6 (IL-6) through the activation of the NF-kB pathway oxidative stress, and increase in Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Studies showed that the extract of bitter melon contains flavonoids as antioxidants can reduce cholesterol levels. To find out the effect of bitter melon extract on total cholesterol levels, IL-6, and MDA in hypercholesterolemic rats. Experimental research with Post Test Only Group Design. The research subjects were 25 wistar rats divided into 5 groups. Group K(N) normal rats, K(-) were only given a hypercholesterol diet for 28 days, groups K(+), P1, and P2 were given a hypercholesterol diet for 14 days followed by 14 days of hypercholesterol diet along with simvastatin at 0.09 mg/kgBW, bitter melon extract at 150 mg/kgBW, and combination of bitter melon extract at 75 mg/kgBW and simvastatin at 0.045 mg/kgBW. On the 29th day the rats were examined. The results of the Shapiro-Wilk and Levene tests showed that the data were normally distributed and homogenous. One-Way ANOVA and Tukey test was found that the levels of cholesterol, IL-6, and MDA in the P1, P2, and P3 hypercholesterolemic rat groups underwent significantly (p0.05) compared to the control group. The extract of bitter melon, simvastatin, and the combination of simvastatin and bitter melon extract have effect on reducing cholesterol levels, IL-6, and MDA in hypercholesterolemic rats.
GUIMARÃES ROSA E O PLATONISMO HUMANISTA
Authors: Araújo João
Published: December 2023

O presente ensaio tem como objetivo estabelecer um diálogo entre Guimarães Rosa, e a recepção crítica de sua obra, com os preceitos do filósofo Platão. Rosa, que abertamente alegava ser um leitor de Platão, suscitou o pensamento platônico como uma rica e importante chave de leitura para sua obra, tendo sido Benedito Nunes um dos principais decifradores da dimensão platônica na prosa rosiana. Apesar dos contundentes apontamentos realizados por Nunes, ainda é possível observar – através dos grifos e comentários destacados por Guimarães Rosa nos volumes da obra do filósofo grego que possuía em sua biblioteca pessoal – que Rosa poderia ter lido a obra platônica pelo cunho poético que ela sugere, sobretudo dentro da sua metafísica. Nesse sentido, Guimarães Rosa subverte a imagem canonizada de um Platão puramente racionalista para um Platão de enorme força poética, que teria influenciado a linguagem humanística do autor mineiro.

Ports are no longer the simple maritime services providers of the past. They are multimodal transport and logistics centres and hubs for sustainable industry and clean energy. The transition to sustainable ports, digital nodes, and energy hubs requires the radical system-led changes in the ports based on new knowledge and innovation. After a theoretical analysis of port development trends and management models used in the port development process, in this paper is proposed an approach for selecting port development priorities for the future ten years period, based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Three potential development scenarios are analyzed and evaluated based on following three selection criteria: level of revenue/profit, level of productivity, contribution to safety/security/ environmental protection in the port. AHP Hierarchy framework used was a three level model: “level 0” – goal; “level 1” – criterion; “level 2” – choice. Results of research shown that the optimal development senario is “Scenario 1”, which includes: optimizing utilization rate of existing capacity; optimizing port safety and security; optimizing environmental protection in the port; investing in keeping existing capacity unchanged, with priority investments in building new objects of port superstructure and improvements in cargo handling technologies, in accordance with concrete customer demands; introducing elements of circular economy; Results of the research can be used for prioritizing port development actions and can be taken as a realiable bases of the author`s further reaserches in this domain. Object of the research is the Port of Bar (Montenegro).
Dârekutnî’nin Teşeyyu‘ İle İtham Edilmesi
Authors: TEKİN Metin
Published: December 2023

İslâm tarihinde gerek eserleriyle gerekse düşünceleriyle İslâmî ilimlere katkı sağlamış birçok âlim teşeyyu‘a (Şiîliğe meyilli olmaya) nisbet edilmiştir. Dârekutnî (ö. 385/995) de bu ithama maruz kalan âlimlerden biridir. Kuvvetli hâfızası ve derin anlayışıyla döneminin önde gelen hadis hâfızlarından biri kabul edilen Dârekutnî, hadis ilminde yetkinliğini gösteren pek çok eser telif etmiştir. Ayrıca kendisine çok az kişiye nasip olan “emîru’l-mü’minîn fi’l-hadîs” ünvanı verilmiştir. Dârekutnî’nin teşeyyu‘ ile suçlanmasının arka planında ise Şiî bir şair olan Seyyid el-Himyerî’nin (ö. 173/789) şiirlerini ezberlemesi yatmaktadır. Bu makalede, Dârekutnî’ye nisbet edilen teşeyyu‘ iddiası incelenmiş ve Dârekutnî hakkındaki mezkûr ithama kaynak teşkil eden malumat irdelenerek bu suçlamanın sağlam bir zeminde ele alınıp alınmadığı inceleme konusu yapılmıştır. Hem Dârekutnî’nin kendi sözleri ve eserleri hem de Ehl-i sünnet ve Şîa ricâl edebiyatı üzerinden yapılan araştırma neticesinde Dârekutnî’ye yöneltilen teşeyyu‘ suçlamasının bir iddiadan ibaret olduğu ve ilmî bir temele dayanmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca araştırmada konuyla alakalı kaynaklardaki bilgiler tetkik edilerek elde edilen malumatın objektif bir şekilde sunulmasına çalışılmıştır.
Princípios do teletandem em discussão
Authors: Klen-Alves Moore Viviane , Rampazzo Laura
Published: December 2023

Teletandem é um projeto de intercâmbio virtual que promove contato intercultural entre aprendizes de língua distantes geograficamente. Os estudantes formam duplas e devem observar os princípios de separação de línguas, reciprocidade e autonomia. Apesar de relevantes, poucos estudos discutem como os participantes agem para observar tais princípios durante as sessões orais. Este estudo objetiva preencher essa lacuna. Conduzimos uma análise qualitativa de sete transcrições de uma dupla, cujos dados estão disponíveis no MulTeC (Multimodal Teletandem Corpus). Os resultados indicam que os alunos (i) se esforçam para dividir as sessões em duas partes, observando a  separação das línguas, (ii) agem de forma recíproca em pelo menos cinco dimensões (alternando papéis, tomando decisões juntos, atendendo às necessidades um do outro, demonstrando afeto e emoção, buscando e compartilhando interesses mútuos e informações interculturais), (iii) exercem sua autonomia ao decidirem sobre atividades e estratégias de aprendizagem e avaliarem a si próprios e a experiência.

"There is a presence in anger"
Authors: Williges Flavio
Published: December 2023

The article examines a traditional pattern of criticism of racial protests involving what I will call anti-racist rage. These critiques revolve around two basic points: they characterize angry racial protests as gratuitous displays of aggression and emotional lack of control that illustrate irrational, authoritarian, and violent political activism, and as unproductive political strategies. Against this approach, I argue, first, that there are normative reasons for anti-racist anger and that the traditional critique is wrong to ignore these reasons. Second, in light of the objections of irrationality and unproductiveness of the expression of anger, and following Amia Srinivasan's approach, I argue that even if it does not lead to desired outcomes, even if it is unproductive, the anger present in anti-racist protests is morally justified, and delegitimizing it on instrumental grounds implies acceptance of a kind of affective injustice.
