Authors: John Mdee Ombeni , Lwasa Amina , Sadiki Nasra
Published: July 2024

This study explored various low-cost water treatment technologies that are used to minimize levels of pathogens and contaminants in raw water. The paper focused on techniques such as cloth filtration, boiling, chlorination, and solar water disinfection. In the communities, cloth filtration is applied as the initial step of treating raw water with the proper choice of cloth fabrics followed by either boiling, chlorination or solar water disinfection. In low-income communities with unclean burning fuel sources, boiling was found to be the preferred method. Chlorination was also a popular technique associated with the challenges of low or high levels of free chlorine at the point of use and disinfection by-products. Solar water disinfection required optimal residence time and detection sensors for microorganism inactivation. Overall, the paper provided valuable insights into the different low-cost water treatment techniques that are commonly used for household applications, particularly in developing countries.

As urbanisation continues to accelerate in China, the contradiction between rapid economic development and water scarcity in semi-arid cities is becoming increasingly evident. Consequently, the study of the relationship between water resources use and economic growth is of particular importance. Lanzhou City was selected as the study area, an evaluation index system was established to comprehensively evaluate the status of water resources utilisation, meanwhile, the water footprint method and Tapio decoupling model were adopted to measure the decoupling status between water utilisation and economic development from 2002 to 2021. The result showed that the total water footprint and per capita water footprint followed an increasing and then decreasing trend. The water footprint varied significantly by industrial sector, with agriculture accounting for 72.87% of total water use. The self-sufficiency rate of water resources was above 96.5%. The economic value increased substantially from 22.25 CNY/m3 in 2002 to 183.99 CNY/m3 in 2021. The water scarcity index and the pressure index were high, with annual mean values of 0.96 and 1, respectively. Water consumption and economic growth are generally decoupled weakly and strongly, with the number of strong decoupling occurrences increasing significantly from 2011 to 2021.

Published: July 2024

Recent years have witnessed a significant growth in the research and development of additive manufacturing methods involving concrete and cementitious materials, with technologies like three-dimensional (3D) printing becoming more widely used in the construction industry. Construction has the possibility to be revolutionized, not only in the context of cost savings but also in the context of increased sustainability and functionality. 3D printing of concrete is a cutting-edge technology that has the potential to speed up construction, reduce labor costs, give architects more creative freedom, improve precision, obviate requirements for formwork, and result in less construction wastes. In addition, 3D printing can be a long-term solution for both economy and environment. Even though 3D printing in concrete has made tremendous strides recently, developing an effective 3D-printable material that decreases material usage and enhances performance is critical for carbon dioxide reduction. Robust geopolymer formulations for 3D printing concrete technology in current construction applications have emerged as the subject of much research among scientists to find novel ways to circumvent this constraint. This study intends to highlight the current state of the art in developing 3D-Printed Geopolymer Concrete (3DPGC) with a comprehensive review related to the material composition, mix design, and mixing regimes on rheology of 3DPGC. The rheology of 3DPGC in terms of printability and buildability is discussed. The mixing regimes employed for the preparation of one-part and two-part 3DPGC are tabulated and commented on. Lastly, the research gaps are identified and summarized, and several research directions are also provided for future investigations to expedite the ubiquitous use of 3DPGC in versatile construction applications.

Published: July 2024

The development of ideal, secure, efficient, non-invasive drug delivery
systems is now a top priority in this field of drug delivery. Nanoparticles are being
employed more frequently for effective medication delivery, exerting the desired
therapeutic effect at the expected site of action with the least amount of activity or
volume loss. Size, surface chemistry, biological destiny, toxicity, in vivo dispersion,
and targeting capabilities all play a role in these systems. The stability and interactions
of nanoparticles with cells are regulated by their surface chemistry, and they can access
a greater variety of targets. The development of nano-drug delivery systems has opened
up new avenues for the treatment and prevention of disease, as well as for enhancing
pharmacological properties, enhancing targeting, overcoming drug resistance, and
lowering immunogenicity and toxicity. This chapter will first discuss the desirable
characteristics of an effective drug delivery system and will cover recent developments
in nano drug delivery systems used in clinical research, including dendrimers, solid
lipid nanoparticles, nanogels, nanoemulsions, polymeric micelles, and polymer
nanofibers.

Authors: Weerasinghe Laksiri , Munaweera Imalka , Kumarage Senuri
Published: July 2024

Gaining insight into the process that ingested nanoparticles/nanodrugs is
crucial to maximize therapeutic advantages and avoid side effects. In the process of
drug development, it is critical to consider how nanodrugs are ingested, how they
interact with body fluids, how particles are absorbed by cells, and how they are
eliminated to achieve effective treatments. In addition, consideration of the toxicity of
the ingested nanoparticles is of utmost significance.
Hence the fate of ingested nanoparticles within the body will be covered in this chapter,
including ingestion, endocytosis, exocytosis, and lastly the toxicity of the ingested NPs
in vivo and in vitro. Initially, the chapter will brief about how the ingested
nanoparticles undergo interactions with proteins in body fluids to form a protein corona
and then will discuss comprehensively the different endocytic routes. Then the
nanoparticle’s excretion from cells which is essential for preserving homeostasis and
receptor function will be discussed. Finally, the toxicity such as DNA damage, protein
damage, cell membrane damage, oxidative stress, inflammation, impaired protein
synthesis, deregulated cellular functions, and neurotoxicity of some commonly used
nanoparticles will be outlined.

Data protection and the transformation of rights in the digital society
Authors: Balaguer Callejón Francisco
Published: July 2024

This paper analyses the centrality that data protection is acquiring in the digital society as a right that, together with that of consumer protection, is expanding and occupying spaces for guaranteeing other rights that by themselves have weaker protections. This evolution also contributes to transforming the system of rights insofar as it detaches them from substantive principles and values in order to secure them from the market’s standpoint. This instrumental character to the market is especially relevant in data protection, since in addition to being a right, it is also a commodity in the framework of the data economy. The paper also highlights the challenges posed by Generative Artificial Intelligence, not only for data protection, but also for the data economy itself and the digital society, as it has the capacity to generate and propagate disinformation of a systemic nature.

Published: July 2024

Background: Stunting is a condition of growth failure in children resulting from malnutrition for a long time since the first 1000 days of life. One of the factors causing stunting is chronic malnutrition so that children have a small height for their age. This stunting condition will have an impact on children's health, such as impaired brain development, cognitive development, growth faltering, and low immune system. Stunting treatment is carried out starting from the first 1000 days of a child’s life until the child is 6 years old. Providing complementary food is also one of the specific nutritional interventions in the program to accelerate stunting management. Complementary food has an important role in improving the quality of health in order to optimize children's growth and development from the age of 6 months.

Objectives: This research aims to explore mothers experience in providing complementary food to stunted children.

Methods: This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive phenomenological design. Participants were selected using purposive sampling techniques, resulting in 6 participants. The research data was analyzed thematically using the Colaizzi method.

Results: This research found themes, namely: 1) The mother's feelings when the child was first discovered to be stunted, 2) The causes of stunting, 3) The age at which the child was discovered to be stunted, 4) History of complementary food, 5) Handling of stunting, 6) Support in caring for the child with stunting.

Conclusions: Knowledge about mothers' experiences in providing MP-ASI to stunted children will help to determine appropriate interventions to improve the quality of life for stunted children. Education about giving complementary food to children with stunting conditions must be optimized to reduce the incidence of stunting in children in Indonesia, especially in Riau.

Dietary pattern and anemia with the occurrence of LBW babies: Indonesian Life Family Survey (IFLS 5)Background: Nutritional problems occur throughout the human life cycle. Maternal, infant, and neonatal mortality rates are critical national growth indicators. The most common cause of death in neonates is babies with low birth weight (LBW). Objective: This study examines the association between diet, anemia, and the incidence of LBW in Indonesia using the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave 5. Methods: This observational study used IFLS 5 secondary data. The study population is women of reproductive age (15-49 years), married, had their last child born alive, and their weight weighed. The independent variables were diet and anemia, while the dependent was LBW. Effect modifiers were age, parity, education, employment, pregnancy complications, consumption of iron tablets, and residence. Results: The total number of respondents was 2,368, with an LBW incidence of 8.7%. The percentage of non-diverse diets is 72.3%, more than diverse diets. There was a significant relationship between diverse dietary patterns and LBW. A less varied diet provides a 1.32 more substantial risk of giving birth to an LBW baby compared to mothers with a diverse diet. However, there was no relationship between anemia and LBW. Further analysis showed two food groups significantly associated with LBW: nuts and meat and fish. Conclusions: A diverse diet lowers the risk of LBW but is not significantly related. Efforts are needed to improve community nutrition through a varied and balanced diet. Social factors related to LBW are mothers' education and employment.

Authors: Kumar Gaurav , Thakur Jawahar
Published: July 2024

Abstract: In today's digital environment, securing networked systems is critical due to the increasing sophistication and frequency of cyberattacks. Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) are essential for detecting and addressing unauthorized and harmful activities within a network. NIDS function by continuously monitoring network traffic and analyzing data packets for signs of suspicious behavior or known attack patterns. This paper provides an in-depth examination of NIDS, focusing on the application of three machine learning algorithms—K Neighbors Classifier, Logistic Regression, and Random Forest Classifier—to create a robust model for network intrusion detection using the NSL-KDD dataset. Our findings highlight the superior performance of the Random Forest Classifier, which achieved an accuracy of 99.31%, proving its effectiveness in differentiating between normal and malicious traffic. The analysis of ICMP, TCP, and UDP protocols reveals unique attack patterns, underscoring the need for protocol-specific security measures. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of integrating NIDS with other security systems for a multi-layered defense strategy and the crucial role of skilled personnel in managing and interpreting NIDS alerts. The results advocate for ongoing innovation and adaptation in NIDS technologies and strategies to effectively counter evolving cyber threats

This study examines the impact of non-cash transactions on the money supply (M1) in Indonesia, with inflation as a moderating variable. Using data from 2019 to 2021, we analyze the effects of debit cards, credit cards, and electronic money (e-money) on the money supply. The findings indicate that debit card transactions have no immediate impact, credit card transactions have a slight negative effect, and e-money transactions significantly increase the money supply. These results offer valuable insights for policymakers and financial analysts in understanding and managing the relationship between non-cash payment methods and monetary policy.
Exploring the behavioral mechanisms of Chinese scientists' public engagement with science based on an integrative model
Authors: Li Yang , Zhu Lijun
Published: July 2024

Based on self-determination theory and the theory of planned behavior, this study explored the predictors and behavioral mechanisms associated with Chinese scientists' public engagement with science. The results indicated that scientists' participation was associated with their levels of perceived autonomy, their attitudes toward participation and the media, subjective norms, perceived policies, their own efficacy, specific facilitating conditions, habits related to communication, and their willingness to engage. Under different levels of autonomy, these indicators had different association with scientists' willingness to engage and their reported participation in science communication activities. As levels of controlled motivation (or external requirement to communicate) increased, more negative effects related to willingness to participate or self-reported participation were identified, and amotivation (a lack of motivation) had a direct negative association with participation. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
Argument Evaluation: If your Snark be a Boojum…
Authors: Hinton Martin
Published: July 2024

Abstract: In this essay, I make a plea for a wide-ranging, open perspective on the evaluation of arguments. This involves a more flexible understanding of what fallacies are and for what argu-ments may be used. I acknowledge the great wealth of argumentation theory, but bemoan the lack of systematic, re-peatable, and explainable evaluation procedures. I then go on to introduce the works which contribute to this spe-cial issue and explain how they assist in the fulfilment of my hopes.
Résumé: Dans cet essai, je plaide en faveur d’une perspective large et ou-verte sur l’évaluation des arguments. Cela implique une compréhension plus flexible de ce que sont les sophismes et des arguments qui peuvent être utilisés. Je reconnais la grande richesse de la théorie de l’argumentation, mais je dé-plore le manque de procédures d’éval-uation systématiques, reproductibles et explicables. Je présente ensuite les travaux qui contribuent à ce numéro spécial et explique comment ils con-tribuent à la réalisation de mes espoirs.
When Meaning Becomes Controversial
Authors: Pruś Jakub , Macagno Fabrizio
Published: July 2024

Abstract: This paper aims to develop the criteria for assessing semantic arguments. However, while this notion constituted the core of ancient dialectics and is addressed in several approaches to argument analysis, the criteria for evaluating such arguments are insufficient. This paper intends to address this problem by combining the insights of classical and contemporary logic and testing them against some controversies involving controversial definitions or classifications. Through detailed case studies of the argumentative uses involving the (re)definitions of racism, war, peace, and feminism, we formulated and tested eight evaluation criteria that may be expressed as critical questions.
Résumé: Cet article vise à développer les critères d’évaluation des arguments sémantiques. Cependant, bien que cette notion constitue le coeur de la dialectique ancienne et soit abordée dans plusieurs approches de l’analyse des arguments, les critères d’évaluation de ces arguments sont insuffisants. Cet article vise à résoudre ce problème en combinant les idées de la logique classique et contemporaine et en les testant par rapport à certaines controverses impliquant des définitions ou des classifications controversées. À travers des études de cas détaillées sur les usages argumentatifs impliquant les (re)définitions du racisme, de la guerre, de la paix et du féminisme, nous avons formulé et mis à l’épreuve huit critères d'évaluation qui peuvent être exprimés sous forme de questions critiques.
Exploring psychosocial Dynamics
Authors: Dixon J. , Butz M. , Luliak M.
Published: July 2024

The importance of psychosocial processes in mental well-being warrants emphasizing. Time and again, psychological and social factors have been proven to be highly important in determining a person’s mental health (Elkefi et al., 2023, p.105065). Psychosocial dynamics have a vast scope, covering a lot of factors, such as stress, social support, coping strategies, interpersonal ties, socioeconomic situations, and societal aspects. Understanding how these dynamics unfold can be instrumental when it comes to the enhancement of subjective wellness. Acknowledgement of the significance of psychosocial variables does not necessarily eliminate the existing difference in understanding regarding the impact of lifestyle elements on mental health. Lifestyle factors cover individuals’ daily behaviors and choices, including diet, exercise routine, sleeping pattern, social life, and work–life balance (Pluut and Wonders, 2020). Literature has investigated the effect of these elements on physical health, but recently researchers have also begun to notice the role these factors play in mental health. Nonetheless, there is still a requirement for detailed investigation to assess the interactive relationship that exists between lifestyle backgrounds and mental health. This paper aims to bridge this gap by examining the interconnection between lifestyle-related components and mental well-being in the European setting. The European context offers a unique situation with various cultures, socioeconomic standards, healthcare systems, and lifestyles. By focusing on Europe, we try to attain more profound knowledge of how different lifestyle factors affect mental health within our cultural and social context. Moreover, looking at this issue from a European perspective presents an opportunity to understand how cultural differences affect the links between lifestyle factors and mental health. It can thus guide the interventions and policies that are more suitable for promoting mental health in European populations.

Published: July 2024

The study evaluates the efficacy of healthcare services outreach to disadvantaged and underprivileged persons in Europe. We conducted interviews and held focus groups to get a better understanding of these areas. We obtained qualitative data via these channels. Aside from assessing processes, descriptive statistics aided us in establishing how effectively these initiatives operate. According to the study, the target demographic may benefit greatly from pharmaceutical outreach initiatives due to the fact that they aid in healthcare access and, as a result, enhance health outcomes. To determine the overall impact of the treatments, qualitative data and descriptive statistics must be combined. Given the need for policymakers, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders to enhance health equality among Europe’s disadvantaged groups, this article presents some recommendations for reforming and scaling up pharmaceutical outreach projects in European nations.

The contemporary universal healthcare industry is faced with a myriad of challenges that hinder public health efforts to a massive degree. These challenges include but are not limited to dental anxiety, physician burnout issues, and increasing stress among healthcare specialists. Nevertheless, concepts like patient-centric care, pharmacological outreach strategies, and digital practices in pharmacies are growing rapidly in Europe and worldwide, giving hope to the healthcare industry. Multidimensional approaches must be adapted and greatly implemented among patients, healthcare experts, and policymakers to ensure sustainable success in the healthcare industry.
Adjustment and adaptation: English curriculum development in pesantren
Authors: Dwi Andriani Zulfi Zumala
Published: July 2024

As the religious institution which focuses on religious teaching, however Pesantren began to incorporate English Language Teaching (ELT) in its curricula by doing some adjustments in line with the Pesantren context. This paper aims to examine English curriculum development at Pesantren Darussalam Blokagung Banyuwangi both in formal and informal institutions inside Pesantren. The incorporation of English Language Teaching (ELT) and the authority of the Pesantren leader in modifying the English curriculum according to the Pesantren context are discussed. The research is a qualitative research approach by employing a case study methodology. The data is collected through in- depth interviews of six participants, observations and documentation. The study reveals two curriculum facets: formal and informal. The formal curriculum aligns with the national school system, while the informal one encompasses English courses progressing from basic to advanced levels, an English language dormitory, and extracurriculars like news reading, storytelling, debate, and public speaking. The research concludes that Pesantren Darussalam effectively integrates English education to complement formal schooling. Yet, to enhance students' English skills and local awareness, ELT materials are needed to be tailored to the Pesantren context. This approach underscores the institution's adaptability and commitment to holistic education.
