Civics learning for class VIII-2 MTsN Meureubo Kab. West Aceh in the even semester of the 2021/2022 academic year has not shown satisfactory results. The minimum learning completeness score that must be achieved is 70, however, only 45% of students are able to achieve a KKM score of 70. In other words, 55% of students, the final grade of study is below the KKM. This type of research is CAR which consists of two cycles, each cycle consists of 2 x meetings. The research subjects were students of class VIII-2 MTsN Meureubo Kab. Aceh Barat, totaling 20 people consisting of 11 men and 9 women. The data collection instruments in this study were tests, observations, and discussions. The results of observations of student activities in learning during the first cycle reached an average value of 66.2, the teacher's activity in teaching and learning activities in the first cycle was in the sufficient category with a score of 55 or 78.5%. While the ideal score is 70. This happens because they stand in front of the class more and provide less direction to students how to do cooperative learning. Learning outcomes for learning materials from the ideal score of 100, the average acquisition score only reached 63 or 63.1%. The results of observations of student activities in PBM during the second cycle reached an average value of 74.3, The results of observations of teacher activities in PBM in the second cycle were classified as moderate. This means that it has improved from the first cycle. From the ideal score of 70, the value obtained is 68 or 97.1%. Student learning outcomes on learning materials in the second cycle are also classified as moderate, namely from this the ideal score of 100 the average score of acquisition is 71 or 71%. Based on the results of this study, it can be said that the application of the Jigsaw type cooperative approach is one of the elaboration strategies that can improve Civics learning outcomes for the subject of National Spirit and Commitment to class VIII-2 MTsN Meureubo Kab.

Published: September 2022

The purpose of this study was to determine the ethnopedagogical approach in education, especially in aceh. The elements studied are Acehnese local wisdom in learning at school. This is in accordance with the problems found in the field through the author's initial observations at school, that so far the learning that has taken place does not link the concept of learning with local wisdom in the area. Thus the culture in the area becomes a taboo for the students themselves. So the ethnopedagogical element in learning at school is not introduced to students, in this case the integration of local wisdom in classroom learning has not been maximized, so far education and the value of local wisdom have not fully merged into a formidable new force in the body of education. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative research method that uses study content contained in various literatures as the primary data base. The data sources in this article are journals and books related to thematic learning and local wisdom education. Furthermore, the object of research is the adaptation process and its relation to local urgency in responding to the challenges of the times. Research results In this study, the ethnopedagogical approach is focused on education by introducing Acehnese local wisdom such as the Seudati dance which makes movement patterns in mathematics learning, Jeungki as a traditional tool that starting to be abandoned, even most of the millennial generation are no longer familiar with jeungki found in science learning, and what is related to history learning is the local wisdom of Peusijuek

O estudo objetiva compreender de que forma as práticas sociodiscursivas ideológicas misóginas, em aspectos fáticos, de uma sentença judicial condenatória, do ano de 2019, do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de São Paulo contribuem para institucionalização da violência de gênero contra a mulher no Sistema Judiciário. Para isso, articulamos aspectos epistemológico-jurídicos, empírico-sociais e teórico-linguísticos nos quais a Análise do Discurso Crítica surge como recurso teórico-metodológico estratégico dos saberes interdisciplinares em Fairclough (2016); Van Dijk (2015) e Thompson (2011) que, dirigido à formulação das categorias de análise, possibilitou detectar as marcas patriarcais de cunho ideológico e misógino presentes na construção discursiva do Poder Judiciário. Ainda, que tais discursos produzidos em contexto de manipulação e abuso de poder incidem, de forma legitimada, na propagação da violência de gênero contra a mulher.

Published: September 2022

Introduction

Background: This study aimed to investigate the trehalose-induced alterations in serum expression levels of miRNAs associated with vascular inflammation in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) in order to evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous (IV) trehalose administration in reducing arterial wall inflammation.

Material and methods

Methods: This trial enrolled 14 men with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) and systemic inflammation. The patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to trehalose (15g/week, IV administration) (N=10) or placebo (equal volume 0.9% normal saline) (N=4) for a period of 12-weeks. The relative serum expression levels of miRNA-126, miRNA-24, miRNA-181b, miRNA-10a and miRNA-92a were assessed.

Results

Results: IV trehalose administration significantly increased the serum level of miRNA-24 (2.473±0.72; P=0.037) compared to the baseline, but did not alter the other miRNA serum levels. However, at the end of the study, miRNA-24 (4.58±0.99; P=0.002), miRNA-181b (4.08±1.75; P=0.009) and miRNA-10a (3.68±0.63; P=0.013) showed notably higher serum levels in the trehalose relative to the placebo group. Furthermore, the reduction (normalized to baseline) in serum levels of miRNA-126 (P=0.042) and miRNA-92a (P=0.001) were reduced in the trehalose versus placebo group, while the serum level of miRNA-24 (P=0.007) was notably higher than that in the placebo group.

Conclusions

Conclusion: Serum levels of miRNAs associated with vascular inflammation were altered following IV trehalose administration. The alterations in serum miRNAs, especially miRNA-126 and miRNA-24, could be considered as helpful biomarkers for the evaluation of trehalose potency in reducing arterial wall inflammation in patients with CAD.

A survey on amphibians and reptiles or herpetofauna in Kadamaian, Kota Belud was carried out on 21st to 25th October, 2019 during the Borneo Geographic Expedition jointly organized by the Institute for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ITBC) of Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) and Sabah Parks. The main purpose of the survey is to update the list of herpetofauna in the study area. Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method was applied and transects were established at the waterfall near the expedition base camp, Pinolobu River, Kipungit River in Melangkap Noriou and Meliawa River, resulting in 15 species of amphibians from five families and six species of reptiles from three families recorded. Significantly, the survey recorded 10 species of herpetofauna that are endemic to Borneo, including one Endangered (EN) frog species namely Leptobrachella sabahmontana of the family Megophryidae and one new record for Sabah which is Ansonia minuta of the family Bufonidae. Two reptiles out of the recorded list were Bornean endemics namely Cyrtodactylus baluensis and Tropidophorus micropus. Fejevarya limnocharis and Polypedates leucomystax seemed to be the common species of amphibians recorded whereas Eutrophis rudis was the common reptile species found in the area. The result, in term of species number was low especially for reptiles due to the short survey period. However, this report managed to update the list for herpetofauna species in Kadamaian, Kota Belud. Nevertheless, this study contributes to Borneo’s herpetofauna database specifically in Sabah and serves as reference for more studies and research in future.

A preliminary survey of the diversity of gingers (Zingiberaceae) was conducted in Kadamaian, Kota Belud from 14th to 19th October, 2019. Wild ginger species is utilized widely as one of the most important material in traditional medicine among indigenous people of Sabah. However, few of these plant species have been studied for their chemical constituents and beneficial properties. In order to investigate the compound composition, the essential oil from Etlingera brevilabrum, Alpinia nieuwenhuizii and Hornstedtia havilandii were screened. The essential oil was obtained from leaves, stems and rhizomes of the plant through hydro-distillation and analysed for their chemical composition through Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The result of this study indicated that the chemical constituents of all three parts for all species are similar; all have terpenoids (monoterpene and sesquiterpene), aldehyde, hydrocarbon, ketone and alcohol in the essential oil extracts. GC-MS analyses of the oils led to the identification of 35 compound constituents from the leaves, stems and rhizomes of E. brevilabrum, which is the highest. Meanwhile, A. nieuwenhuizii displayed 34 chemical compositions from all parts (leaf, stem and rhizome) of the plant. H. havilandii showed the lowest number of volatiles from all plant parts (24 compounds). Monoterpene is dominant in all wild ginger studied, except for rhizome of E. brevilabrum. On the contrary, E. brevilabrum showed sesquiterpene as the most abundant compound in its composition. This shows that the volatile oil composition of wild ginger species is extremely variable. This study provides preliminary key chemical information for evaluating the quality of local wild gingers in Kadamaian, Kota Belud, Sabah.

Published: September 2022

An eight days survey of non-volant small mammals was conducted at the Ulu Muda Forest Reserve in the state of Kedah, Malaysia. To sample the small mammals, we placed 100 cage traps and 50 bucket pitfall traps randomly along the existing man-made trails in four sampling sites within the study area. Total trapping effort for the cage traps was 796 trap nights, while the total trapping effort for the bucket pitfall traps was 400 trap nights. Overall, 24 non-volant small mammal individuals represented by seven species from the Family Muridae were captured. The Red spiny rat, Maxomys surifer, was the most dominant species accounting for 42% of the total individuals captured. We also caught the Chestnut white-bellied rat (Niviventer fulvescens) which is a new record for the study area. Although sampling was conducted only briefly, our study has demonstrated that Ulu Muda Forest Reserve still holds a high diversity of forest rat species, some of which are of international or regional conservation concern. Increasing the sampling effort, i.e., by surveying more areas over a longer period, would likely increase the possibility of capturing more small mammal species in this area.

Published: September 2022

Sukau Rainforest Lodge (SRL) and Sukau Ecotourism Research Centre (SERC) have been recognised as two ecotourism sites in Sabah. However, there were no butterfly tourism products carried out at both sites. As a result, a 5-day survey of butterfly diversity was conducted using fruit-baited traps. Butterfly diversity, richness, and abundance were evaluated using Shannon-Weiner Diversity for both sites. SWOT analysis was also carried out at both sites throughout a 3-week observation. The results showed there were 20 species from 6 subfamilies of Nymphalidae butterflies. A total of 96 individuals of each species were also tabulated, with SRL revealing a higher diversity index compared to SERC due to its large surrounding area. The butterfly specimens were collected for educational purposes as nature tourism products. Lack of research, no butterfly signage, forest fragmentation, and mass tourism activities were identified as weaknesses and threats with their strengths and opportunities as proper guidelines based on SWOT analysis. Hence, it shows that both sites are valuable for nature tourism based on their unique butterfly fauna as butterfly tourism products. This study could also provide baseline data on butterfly diversity and its potential as butterfly tourism products at both sites. Butterfly diversity data and SWOT analysis are compulsory for the creation of butterfly tourism products. Such valuable fauna can be integrated as nature tourism products in conjunction with appropriate decision-making strategies.

Remaja adalah khazanah dan tonggak kekuatan negara. Namun, segelintir remaja Islam kini terperangkap dengan tingkah laku yang tidak baik, budaya pergaulan bebas antara lelaki dan wanita, gaya hidup dan ideologi yang jauh dari agama, serta gejala sosial yang akan membinasakan generasi. Kesilapan dalam cara berfikir dan gaya hidup remaja yang terpesong ini mesti diperbetulkan dengan membangunkan dan memperkukuh nilai intelek mereka sendiri. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kaedah pengamalan keluarga di Putrajaya dalam pembangunan minda anak remaja berteraskan perspektif ‘Ulwan. Reka bentuk kajian ini adalah kajian tinjauan menggunakan alat soal selidik untuk meninjau 384 responden yang dipilih dalam kalangan ibu bapa beragama Islam yang mempunyai remaja di Putrajaya. Data dianalisis menggunakan SPSS dengan teknik statistik deskriptif. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan kebanyakan ibu bapa menghantar anak ke sekolah agama untuk mendalami ilmu agama (min = 3.44), mengenal pasti bakat dan potensi anak (min = 3.44), dan mengenal pasti kecenderungan serta minat anak (min = 3.41). Implikasi daripada kajian ini dapat membantu ibu bapa memantapkan ilmu keibubapaan dan seterusnya dapat diterapkan kepada remaja di rumah.

Adolescents are a valuable asset and pillar of strength for a country. However, a handful of Muslim adolescents now practise behaviour based on lust, free association between men and women, lifestyle and ideology far removed from religion, and social symptoms that would destroy generations. The mistakes in the way of thinking and lifestyle of these wayward young people must be corrected by developing and strengthening their personal intellectual values. This study was aimed at analysing the family practice methods in Putrajaya     in terms of adolescent mind development based on the perspective of ‘Ulwan. This study was designed as a survey using a questionnaire instrument with 384 respondents comprised of purposefully selected Muslim parents with adolescents in Putrajaya. Data was analysed with descriptive statistical techniques using SPSS. Findings of the study showed that the majority of parents sent their children to religious school to further their religious knowledge (mean = 3.44), identify the child's talents and potential (mean = 3.44), and ascertain the child's inclinations and interests (mean = 3.41). The implications of this study may help parents strengthen their parenting knowledge and skills, and subsequently inculcate this among the adolescents in the family. This study may also contribute knowledge and understanding to enable those responsible in managing adolescent and family affairs in Malaysia to be more progressive and effective.
The perceptions of passenger motor vehicle brands among Generations X and Y in KwaZulu-Natal
Authors:   , Mhlongo Bongumusa Bright
Published: September 2022

The automotive industry is a growing industry in many developing and developed countries including South Africa. However, little research has been conducted on the perceptions of consumers towards motor vehicle brands in South Africa. For motor vehicle brands, marketing, research and development plays an important role in customer perceptions and retention, and in generating profitable sales. The aim of this study was to identify how motor vehicle brands' meaning differs between Generation X and Generation Y, who account for the bulk of car buyers, in KwaZulu-Natal. The study was conducted in KwaZulu-Natal where data was collected from four universities. This was a quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study conducted using a survey among a sample of 400 university staff and students to cover both Generation X and Generation Y. Data was analysed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate statistics, via SPSS version 23. The study investigated specific brand dimensions, namely, quality, value, personal and group identity, status and family traditions. The main finding was that personal or individualistic factors, namely quality, value and personal identity, were more important than group-oriented factors, namely status, group identity and family tradition. The implication is that marketers should focus on the individualistic perceptions, wants and needs of the buyer, rather than those that are influenced by others through group processes. The study reveals the need for motor vehicle brand manufacturers to focus on consumer perceptions among Generation X and Generation Y. Academics, industry practitioners and motor vehicle manufacturers will benefit from the study as it addresses industry, academic and consumer issues regarding perceptions of motor vehicle brands. Furthermore, it tackles factors of quality, value, group identity, status and traditional factors and consumer decision making process. The study extends the existing knowledge of consumer behaviour with regard to motor vehicle brands by investigating the factors that influence the Generation X and Y buyer decision making process in a developing country. The findings of this study can act as a guide to determine a more appropriate marketing strategy to improve consumer perceptions of motor vehicle brands.

The edge vessels between second-third sigmoid vessels were absent in 16 %, between sigmoid arteries 3-4 were absent in 32 %, between sigmoid vessels 4-5 were absent in 6 cases out 7. Due to the absence of the anastomose rohile necrosis may occur in descending sigmoid intestine lower the place where the rohere anastomose was absent. In such cases it is necessary to perform the revascularization of the sigmoid flexure.

Authors: Anganova E. V. , Duhanina A. V. , Savilov E. D.
Published: September 2022

The article presents the results of the investigation of the microbial community in the largest water supply source in Eastern Siberia - the river of Angara. It has been established that grampositive and gramnegative microorganisms constitute the river`s microbiocenosis. The bacteria of the families Enterobacteriaceae , Pseudomonadaceae , Moraxellacceae and Alcaligenacea have been detected among the gramnegative conditional-pathogenic microorganisms. The bacteria of Enterobacteriaceae family are the most prevalent (88,7 %) and have the widest spectrum (17 species). The remarkable transformations of the microorganism communities (the increase of gramnegative bacteria share, change of their specific variety) were observed in the areas of the cities of Irkutsk and Angarsk, where the Angara was characterized by the considerable anthropogenous pressure. This fact testifies to the infringement of a normal ecological state of the water body on the given area. The microbial community of the river`s head is characterized by the prevalence of grampositive autochthonous microflora and narrow spectrum of conditional-pathogenic gramnegative bacteria.

Published: September 2022

To increase the efficacy of the therapy of trophic skin lesions (erosions, sores), we have developed a new treatment method with the application of autofibronektin-thrombocyte concentrate (AFTC). The method lies in the fact that a patient's thrombocyte-enriched autoplasma is cold incubated with non-fractional heparin. AFTC is used for local treatment for trophic skin erosions and sores. AFTC-efficacy of skin erosions healing makes up 100 % in acute vascular purpura and atrophic arthritis, the healing of skin sores is observed in 93 % cases.

TESTING OF CD107A MARKER EXPRESSION FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTITUMOR ACTIVITY OF CYTOTOXIC LYMPHOCYTES
Authors: Vashkevich E. P. , Shman T. V.
Published: September 2022

The assessment of antitumor activity of cytotoxic lymphocytes is an important indicator of their functional status in cellular immunotherapy. Testing of CD107a marker expression by the method of flow cytofluorimetry has been widely lately used for these purposes. The research that we carried out to determine the antitumor activity of mononuclear lymphocytes in peripheral blood including those stimulated by interleukine-2 showed that incubation of mononuclear lymphocytes in peripheral blood in the presence of К-562 tumor line was conducive to the reliable increase in rates of natural killer and killer-like cells expressing CD107a. A straight correlation between CD107a+killer cells percentage and the number of the dead targets in the test with the use of CFSE fluorescent label was detected. The assessment method of CD107a expression makes it possible to measure the cytotoxic activity in a cell in a concrete population of effectory cells and may be used alongside with standard methods for target-cell lysis.

Trieste's Società Zoofila and its Ladies
Authors: Ličen Daša
Published: September 2022

Avtorica v prispevku predstavlja leta 1852 nastalo Društvo ljubiteljev živali (Società Zoofila) s sedežem v Trstu. Članstvo je družilo prizadevanje za izboljšanje okoliščin, v katerih so živele živali. Organizirali so redna srečanja, na katerih so kritično razpravljali o trpljenju najrazličnejših živali. S predavanji, različnimi publikacijami, javnimi razpravami, grajami, nagrajevanjem in apeli nadzornim organom pa so naslavljali tudi širše prebivalstvo. Tovrstno zanimanje za zaščito živali je v 19. stoletju v evropskih mestih vzniknilo zlasti med k napredku usmerjeno mestno elito, kar povsem drži tudi za tržaško združenje, ki je že od samega začetka privabljalo pripadnike, a tudi pripadnice lokalne smetane. Od drugih tržaških društev ga ni ločevala razredna struktura članstva, pač pa nadpovprečna vpetost žensk ali točneje dam oziroma pripadnic plemstva in buržoazije. V danem prispevku avtorica društvo predstavi in osvetljuje, če in kako je Društvo ljubiteljev živali možno razumeti tudi kot emancipatorno, torej kot morebitno postojanko na poti k ženski enakopravnosti.
Materiality of Homeopathic Medicines. DynHom Research Program.
Authors: Wassenhoven Michel Van , Dorfman Pierre
Published: September 2022

Background: Homeopathy is controversial because using highly dilute medicines (high homeopathic potencies, HHP) beyond the Avogadro/Loschmidt limit. Previous publications [1,2] using NMR relaxation revealed the involvement of nanobubbles and/or nanoparticles and/or nanometric superstructures in high potentizations. NTA demonstrated the presence of particles in HHPs [3,4]. With SEM-EDX [5] we observed an ionic diversity common to all preparations including HHPs and significant differences in the relative quantity of each ion between different homeopathic manufacturing lines and controls. FTIR spectroscopy [6] shows that the molecular composition is that of carbonates, primarily sodium bicarbonate.

Methods: To observe the materiality of homeopathic medicines a multidisciplinary approach is necessary. In collaboration with several universities we are able to observe these medications with NMR, NTA, SEM-EDX, FTIR, pH and EPA.

Results: The essential component of all already studied homeopathic medicines is sodium hydrogen carbonate modulated by some other elements in specific quantity, size and shape. The probability that the observed results could have occurred just by random chance can be rejected (especially above Avogadro limit) p < 0,001.

Conclusions: The homeopathic medicines do contain material with a specific ionic composition even in HHPs diluted beyond the Avogadro/Loschmidt limit. This specificity can be attributed to the manufacturing process. These results demonstrate that the step-by-step process (dynamized or not) does not match the theoretical expectations in a dilution process. The starting material and dilution/dynamization method influences the nature of these NPs. The role of carbonates and sodium bicarbonate must be carefully studied in the future. Its aqueous solution is alkaline in nature but it is an amphoteric compound, which means that the compound has both acidic as well as alkaline character. The reaction with acids results in sodium salts and carbonic acid and reaction with basic solution produce carbonates and water. Specific electric fields are indeed detectable.
Veterinary Biotypology – a Review and new possibilities
Authors: Von Ancken Adalberto , Coelho Cidéli de Paula
Published: September 2022

Background: The truths surrounding medical practices are seasonally challenged by innovative concepts that can aggregate changing procedures in many degrees. The Galtonian eugenics issues supported the pure-breed idea in dictatorial governments, and introduced mesological studies, turning possible to join genetic concepts to the physiology and psychology of the human organism. Following human medicine, more therapeutic models need to forthcoming in domestic animals. The companionship necessity and the highly responsive behavior have addressed the domestication of dogs and their relationship to owners, to an endpoint that both share the same pathologies. Thus, traditional human concepts of biotypology could be extended to companion animals. Grauvogl (1811-1877) proposed a simple biochemical correlation between physiological states and the miasmas of sick individuals (oxygenoid - syphilis, hydrogenoid - sycosis, carbo-nitrogenoid - psora). Antoine Nebel (1870-1954) correlated biochemical status with the musculoskeletal system and the behavior as well. Leon Vannier (1880-1963) model, whose morphophysiological distortions and behavioral inconsistencies were explained by the carbon element and variations in its bonds with phosphorus or fluor radicals was another attempt to categorize and predefine physiology states. Following the advent of structural and functional identification of thyroid hormone in the 1940s, Henri Bernard described the neuro-morphofunctional plasticity of individuals guided by their predominant embryonic leaflet and consequent hormonal diseases. Methods: This work is a narrative review with the purpose of describing and discussing the legacy from biotypology studies and their applicability in dog therapy, and to propose a new homeopathic approach in veterinary medicine based on the miasmas, also contributing to the scarce available literature. Results: Based on cellular exchanges and consequent metabolic rate, animals can be classified into psoric (no evidence of clinical signs, stable behavior, and adequate exonerative cellular processes); sycotic (cellular dysfunction with alterations in oxidative phosphorylation processes allowing accumulation of cellular toxins such as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species; clinically culminating in chronic inflammations in noble organs, and purulent discharges; unstable and polarized behavior) and syphilitic (whose cellular alterations have reached the molecular level, reducing protein expression and determining cellular toxicity and loss of function; indifferent behavior). Generalities such as temperature influence, weight, thirst and feeding shall also be considered. Discussion and Conclusion: This model could benefit stray animals, newly adopted or even from shelters, whose actual behavior is unknown, and the search for the Simillimum may be impaired.
