Authors:   Department of Archaeology, Philosophical Faculty, University of Hradec Králové, Rokitanského 62, 500 03 Hradec Králové 3, Czech Republic, Holas Matouš
Published: March 2022

The article presents the possibilities of landscape analysis based on historical and cartographic sources. The methods and procedures used produced important spatial information about a specific battlefield from the second half of the 19th century. This type of non-destructive research is for the first time applied to a battlefield of the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 in the Hradec Králové region. The results of the analysis helped to find a place for a geophysical survey, which confirmed the location of a relic of field fortifications for the Austrian artillery near the baroque Hospital Kuks near Jaroměř. The results provide an important example for the implementation of similar methods in the research on modern battlefields in the Czech Republic.
A Playworker’s Musings on the Perceptions and Importance of ’Mess’ in a Play Space
Authors: Gorrie Angus Ian
Published: March 2022

The aesthetics of any given play environment is often subject to immense scrutiny, often at the behest of adult agendas. This paper will, from a playwork practitioner’s perspective, discuss how aspects of perceptive mess in a play space positively affect play, the physical opportunities for children, their wellbeing, sense of belonging and their ability to create a sense of order as they see it. This will be juxtaposed against the situations in which children find themselves, by adult design, that paradoxically have the opposite effect. The author has drawn heavily from aspects of playwork theory and practice in the development of and discussion of these ideas with the goal of giving motivation to adults to revise their perspectives and perceptions of space and opportunity.

Published: March 2022

In a rational approach to identify an ultrapotent compound for the treatment of therapy-resistant dermatoses, Weirich's modification of McKenzie's skin vasoconstriction assay (HVK test) has been used as the essential selection criteria. In a primary phase, a quantitative relationship between the HVK activity of 25 derivatives of corticosterone substituted in various positions of the skeleton, and their lipophilicity (log P) was established. The specific lipophilicity-independent interactions were accounted for by the inclusion of 'indicator variables' into the regression analysis. The highly significant results allowed to localize an optimal log P range and to identify the influence of various substituents. In a next phase, the evidence of the first HVK analysis was refined by considering 28 additional compounds. On the basis of the confirmed facts, six 21-chloro-6α-fluoro compounds were specifically synthesized and submitted to dermatopharmacological testing. Finally, CGP 14458 (= 2l-chloro-6α,9-difluoro-11β-hydroxy-16β-methyl-3,20-dioxopregna-1,4-dien-17α-yl propionate) which was predicted to be the most potent representative of these series, whose synthesis is described in detail, showed indeed to be the most effective compound. Clinical trials with this compound – halobetasol propionate/Ultravate® (ulobetasol/Miracorten®) – confirmed its unique efficacy, especially in the treatment of severe, chronic plaque psoriasis.
Are High Heats of Atomization for Many Oxides and Fluorides of Z above 37 due to Enhanced Correlation Energy?
Authors: Jørgensen Christian K.
Published: March 2022

Heats of atomization Ha (per atom) are compared for for 28 diatomic oxides, 14 diatomic fluorides, 26 solid and 2 polyatomic gaseous oxides, 9 solid and 5 polyatomic gaseous fluorides. There is no universal trend toward lower Ha with increasing Z in a column of the Periodic Table; d-group, post-d-group, and partly filled 4f and 5f shells encourage smaller Ha but barium, lanthanum, lutetium, hafnium, tantalum, (to the largest extent thorium), and uranium show unexpected high Ha. This 'Barium-Thorium Effect' can be rationalized by known facts of correlation energy in atoms and (light) compounds, possibly including indirect relativistic effects due to distorted AO in LCAO.
Conformality of atomic layer deposition in microchannels: impact of process parameters on the simulated thickness profile
Authors: Yim Jihong , Verkama Emma , Velasco Jorge , Arts Karsten , Puurunen Riikka
Published: March 2022

Unparalleled conformality is driving ever new applications for atomic layer deposition (ALD), a thin film growth method based on repeated self-terminating gas-solid reactions. In this work, we re-implemented a diffusion-reaction model from the literature to simulate the propagation of film growth in wide microchannels and used that model to explore trends in both the thickness profile as a function of process parameters and different diffusion regimes. In the model, partial pressure of ALD reactant was analytically approximated. Simulations were made as function of kinetic and process parameters such as temperature, (lumped) sticking coefficient, molar mass of the ALD reactant, reactant’s exposure time and pressure, total pressure, density of the grown material, and growth per cycle (GPC) of the ALD process. Increasing the molar mass and the GPC, for example, resulted in a decreasing penetration depth into the microchannel. The influence of the mass and size of the inert gas molecules on the thickness profile depended on the diffusion regime (free molecular flow vs. transition flow). The modelling was compared to a recent slope method to extract the sticking coefficient. The slope method gave systematically somewhat higher sticking coefficient values compared to the input sticking coefficient values; potential reasons behind the observed differences are discussed.
Integrating Python into Physical Chemistry Lab
Authors: van Staveren Marie
Published: March 2022

This paper shows a method for integrating computer programming into a standard physical chemistry laboratory sequence to augment student analysis abilities and allow them to carry programming skills forward to other courses. The Python programming language is used, taking advantage of the pedagogical benefits of Jupyter notebooks, primarily the ability to intersperse instructions and interactive code cells. A series of five notebooks, plus one traditional script exercise are designed to teach basic techniques (e. g. loops, assignments, data types), instrument interfacing, model fitting, and introductory quantum chemistry. The skills are directly applicable to labs the students perform during the hands-on portion of the courses. A survey of students who have completed the course show high confidence in their ability to learn new skills, and student comments reveal they have used these skills in a variety of other contexts.
Bridging Database Analysis with Microrheology to Reveal Super-Hydrodynamic Conductivity Scaling Regimes in Ionic Liquids
Authors: Cashen Ryan , Donoghue Megan , Schmeiser Abigail , Gebbie Matthew
Published: March 2022

Ion transport through electrolytes critically impacts the performance of batteries and other electrochemical devices. Many frameworks used to predict and tune ion transport, such as the Nernst-Einstein model, assume hydrodynamic transport mechanisms, and hence focus on maximizing electrolyte conductivity by minimizing bulk viscosity. However, the emergence of solid-state electrolytes illustrates that selective, non-hydrodynamic ion transport provides promising avenues for enhancing ionic transport in electrolytes. Increasingly, selective ion transport mechanisms, such as hopping, are proposed for concentrated electrolytes, including ionic liquid-derived materials. Yet viscosity-conductivity scaling relationships in ionic liquids are still often analyzed with hydrodynamic models. Here, we report a data-centric analysis of how well hydrodynamic transport models describe the scaling between viscosity and conductivity in neat ionic liquids by merging three databases to bridge physical properties and chemical descriptors. With this expansive data set, we constrained our scaling analysis using ion sizes defined using simulated molecular volumes, as opposed to prior approaches that estimate sizes from activity coefficients or rely on ad-hoc estimates. Remarkably, we find that many commonly studied ionic liquids exhibit positive deviations from the Nernst-Einstein model, implying that ions move faster than hydrodynamic limitations should allow. We experimentally verify these positive deviations in a common class of ionic liquids using microrheology and conductivity measurements. Our results highlight overlooked super-hydrodynamic regimes in ionic liquid viscosity-conductivity scaling and point to opportunities to understand mechanisms of correlated ion motion in ionic liquids. We further show data science and machine learning tools can improve predictions of conductivity from molecular properties, including demonstrating predictions can be made using only computational features. Our findings reveal that many ionic liquids exhibit super-hydrodynamic viscosity-conductivity scaling, which could be harnessed to influence the behavior of electrochemical devices.

Published: March 2022

Sepsis-associated overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) during pathogen infection leads to overwhelming oxidative stress, which has been recognized as a primary contributor to acute kidney injury (AKI). Hence, antioxidant therapy has been widely explored in order to find an effective treatment for sepsis-related AKI, in particular by using endogenous antioxidant – superoxide dismutase (SOD). We assessed the effect of oral SOD on the alteration of AKI biomarkers (creatinine and Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin – NGAL) in endotoxin-induced septic murine. The animals were assigned as a healthy control, a septic control, and three treatment groups (250, 500, and 1000 IU oral SOD). Treatment of SOD was carried out by force-feeding for 16 weeks prior to intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The sepsis was assessed using the murine sepsis score (MSS) after 12 hours post-LPS injection, where the changes in plasma SOD, ROS, NO, creatinine, and NGAL were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). During sepsis, SOD was significantly decreased from its baseline level while other biomarkers were significantly increased (p<0.05) – except for NGAL. MSS exhibited a declining trend in SOD dosage-dependent manner, and was significantly different with that of septic control group at SOD dosage of 1000 IU (p<0.05). SOD treatment with a dosage as low as 250 IU could prevent the abnormal expression of the tested biomarkers during sepsis. There were significant reduction of plasma ROS, NO, creatine and NGAL in rats treated with 1000 IU SOD. Our study suggests the protective effect of SOD against sepsis-induced AKI by scavenging ROS and NO. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-06-02-06 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Graf Arndt
Published: March 2022

This contribution investigates the discursive occurrence of key terms of the Indonesian debates about “modernization”, “cultural transformation”, and “pembaruan” (renewal). The sample consists of the book titles documented in Worldcat.org, from 1945 through 2020. This sample is gathered through various searches and then manually looked through one by one in order to omit duplicates. Selected titles are then further analyzed in a qualitative approach. The evidence generated by this method shows a close temporal link with the so-called “New Order” governments since 1966. This article can therefore serve to further analyze individual elements of New Order discourses on modernization discourse and modernization theory.

Published: March 2022

Competition is one of the most important factors that influence productivity of component crops in intercropping systems. Thus, an experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the competitive interactions between the component crops in a cassava-legume based intercropping system. The experiment was a factorial randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments consisted of seven cropping associations and two spatial arrangements. The results show that the root yield for cassava was higher for the cassava-soybean system with Segbwema recording the highest root yield. For the grain legumes, yields were higher for the sole legumes compared to the intercropped. In addition, both root and grain yields were on average higher when the grain legumes were intercropped with cassava using the 2 m x 0.5 m spatial arrangement for cassava. The result further shows that land equivalent ratio was greater than one and was higher for the cassava-soybean system compared to the other cropping systems. Furthermore, the result shows a higher monetary advantage index for all cropping systems indicating that all cropping systems were feasible and profitable. In conclusion, it was shown that cassava-legume intercropping systems were more advantageous in terms of productivity and monetary advantage for smallholder farmers across the three agro-climatic zones.

Published: March 2022

This research aims at finding out the practice of selling goods without price tags and the fiqh muâ€™amalah review on its sales at student cooperative stores of PMDG Campus. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative which describes the various conditions, situations and social phenomena that occur. Applying the field research, this study uses the interview results with the management of student and consumer cooperatives, as a source of data collection. Based on this research, sales in student cooperatives apply the same system as in supermarkets, where the consumer takes the items he wants to buy on the storefront, then takes them to the cashier to carry out the transaction process. Since the price tag is not included, the price given by the cashier sometimes changed or unclear. Hence, it can be assumed that the sale of goods without the use of price tags in student cooperatives Store still has a light ghara>r element, which lies in pricing. Due to the absence of a price tag, the management of the student cooperative sometimes speculated on their merchandise, giving rise to ghara>r. However, the ghara>r that occurs does not happen at the core of the trade, and does not cause hostility, so the buying and selling practice in student cooperatives store is legal.

This study aims to explain the urgency of regulating ketamine in Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics. This research method uses normative juridical and this research is perspective to answer the problem formulation on legal issues so that it can provide opinions and views on legal issues that are studied. The approach method used is the Legislative Approach (Statute Approach) and Conceptual Approach. The results obtained from a juridical point of view are that perpetrators who abuse ketamine in this case distributing ketamine are only charged with Law Number 36 of 2009 concerning Health. Perpetrators of ketamine abuse cannot be charged with Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics because the Act does not regulate ketamine as a type of narcotic. So that following with the Legality Principle of criminal law Article 1 Number 1 of Law Number 1 of 1946 concerning Criminal Law Regulations explains that an act cannot be threatened with criminal punishment if there is no criminal regulation that regulates it beforehand. From a sociological perspective, the side effects of ketamine are very dangerous, they can affect a person's condition in society. Ketamine which has the same effect as narcotics in general makes people feel that this ketamine must be taken into account in the laws and regulations so that perpetrators who abuse ketamine can be punished so that it has a deterrent effect.

Meanwhile, the authority for investigation and prosecution as well as the responsibilities of the KPK leadership are still needed so that the KPK leadership can directly order investigators and public prosecutors who previously came from the Police and Prosecutors' agencies so that efforts to eradicate and prevent corruption can run well. The problem that can be raised is how to regulate the authority of the KPK leadership in investigation and prosecution, then what are the legal implications of the loss of authority to investigate and prosecute KPK leaders. Using normative legal research methods through statutory approaches and conceptual approaches, with prescriptive analysis techniques. The loss of authority and responsibility of the KPK leadership as investigators and public prosecutors can have implications for the loss of effective control of the KPK leadership in investigations and prosecutions. Then it can slow down efforts to eradicate corruption because the control of eradicating corruption is no longer directly with the KPK leadership or it can even stop the investigation and prosecution process. The Supervisory Board has a higher position than the KPK leadership, then the Supervisory Board is also given broader duties and authority from the KPK leadership related to law enforcement even though in carrying out the duties of the KPK institution it is the KPK leadership, but the authority and responsibility of the KPK leadership have turned to the Supervisory Board.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the legal protection for persons with disabilities who conflict with the law. The research was conducted using juridical-normative legal research. The results showed that the judiciary in Indonesia did not yet have a special mechanism. Such a situation certainly raises the question of what is the obligation of the State in providing protection and fulfillment of the rights of perpetrators and victims of persons with disabilities in a fair criminal justice process. The scope of citizens, in this case, is broad, including anyone without exception as stipulated in Article 25 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia that includes persons with disabilities. Affirmation of the scope is very important because human rights for persons with disabilities are still often ignored, even violated. The application of the principle of Equality Before the Law that persons with disabilities will have the same facilities as normal humans in accessing justice in the judiciary. The benefit is that persons with disabilities can easily convey their meaning and obtain justice so that the case can be resolved and it is easy to get information. Optimization, in this case, is also by the utility theory of Jeremy Bentham that "The aim of the law is the greatest happiness of the greatest number", namely the goal of the law is the greatest happiness for the most people.
Exploring the horizon: Navigating research careers outside of academia
Authors: Carey Rachel Naomi
Published: March 2022

Given the growing number of PhD graduates, and the breadth of research opportunities that exist beyond academia, there is no singular, linear path to a successful research career. Researchers are applying and enhancing their skills in charities, corporations, consultancies, local authorities, health services, start-ups, and a variety of other settings. For researchers who are curious about their options, there is a dizzying maze of pathways to consider. This chapter aims to shine a light on what non-academic research careers can look like, including some of the opportunities and challenges involved. It explores the reasons researchers might choose to pursue applied research roles, the steps we can take towards finding them, and the parts of the learning curve that can feel particularly steep. Focusing on the environment of new start-ups, it discusses the ways in which early-stage innovation can foster collaboration and creativity, and its role in advancing scientific knowledge. It ends with a few final reflections and recommendations, including a discussion of the need for greater permeability between different research settings, and visibility of the opportunities and impact created by applied research.

Building the physical and psychological self: from a bodily to a spoken interpersonal dialogue

Published: March 2022

In this review, we propose that interpersonal bodily interactions represent a fertile ground in which the bodily and psychological self is developed, gradually allowing for forms of more abstract and disembodied interactions. We start by focusing on how early infant-caregiver bodily interactions, mediated by the sense of touch, play a crucial role in shaping the boundaries of the self but also in learning to predict others’ behavior. We then explore the social function of the sense of touch in the entire life span, highlighting its role in promoting physical and psychological wellbeing by supporting positive interpersonal exchanges. We go on by introducing the concept of implicit theory of mind, as the very early ability to interpret others’ intentions, possibly grounded in infant-caregiver bodily exchanges (embodied practices). In the second section, we embrace a more collective perspective about the role of sociality in human development, by describing the hypothesis of “dialectical attunement”, reconsidering the self beyond the individual, where it really emerges, unfolds, and manifests itself — in social relationships. We finally consider the most evolved forms of social relationship: intellectual exchanges among individuals. In this regard, we defend the view that, beside the apparent private dimension of “thinking abstractly”, using abstract concepts is an intrinsically social process, as it entails the re-enactment of the internalized dialogue through which we acquired the concepts in the first place.
Geodynamics of continental rift initiation and evolution

A rift is a nascent plate boundary where continental lithosphere is extended and possibly broken. In the geologic past, rifting played a major role in shaping the surface of our planet, while at present, continental rifts are of societal relevance by hosting key georesources such as geothermal energy and ore deposits. This Review discusses fundamental rift processes, geodynamic forces and their tectonic interactions over geological time scales, and identifies the mechanisms that lead to the large variety of rifts on Earth. Linking forces and processes is particularly relevant for rifts, as progressive thinning of the lithosphere prevents a steady-state configuration and prompts continuous changes in their force balance. Rifting initiates through multi-scale exploitation of inherited weaknesses, which generates dynamic spatiotemporal competition, cessation or localisation of rift structures. Successful continent-scale rifts feature an abrupt and roughly ten-fold increase of divergence velocity once the lithosphere is sufficiently weakened. We infer that mantle plumes exert major control on breakup, through dynamic topography and by generating melts that can weaken the lithosphere by an order of magnitude. Outstanding future challenges include unravelling where magmatism is a cause or a consequence of rifting, isolating the tipping points that separate successful from failed rifting, and deciphering the interaction of rift tectonics with fluid flow during georesource formation and volatile release.
Video Games and Teaching Systematic Review All Results
Authors: Cole Caitlin , Parada Roberto H. , Mackenzie Erin
Published: March 2022

Video games are not only an established part of popular culture, but also frequently used in educational settings all over the world. There is now a substantive body of research with individual empirical studies indicating possible positive gains of their use in classrooms. In spite of this, there is a dearth of research synthesising the outcomes of these studies. This is particularly so in relation to the ways video games are used by teachers for educational purposes within secondary classrooms. A systematic review of current literature surrounding video games in secondary classrooms published between 2010 and 2020 was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. In total 3110 papers were identified in the initial search, 85 of which were retained after screening. The review indicated that the impact of video games in secondary classrooms is generally positive, although not conclusively so. Current research on the use of video games in secondary education is limited and is primarily concerned with short-term interventions, and often does not take into consideration the context of wider teaching activities. Our findings lead us to propose several areas of further research, including methodological implications for the field of video game and educational research.
Cross-identity moral licensing: Why gender representation in tech may be stifled despite a diversity of qualified applicants

Published: March 2022

Gender and racial diversity in tech is a persistent issue in the United States. Efforts to increase diversity may not be effective due to moral licensing and viewing underrepresented groups interchangeably. Moral licensing has focused on effects within one identity (displays of feminist beliefs leading to sexist actions). We test whether moral licensing can reverberate across identities: cross-identity moral licensing (displays of feminist beliefs leading to racist actions). Study 1, showed no effects of moral licensing on hiring decisions using the original manipulation. In Study 2, hiring managers in the tech sector completed two successive hiring rounds, with the first designed to license the second. White women were negatively impacted by same-identity and cross-identity moral licensing, while there were no effects of moral licensing for Black men. This work provides preliminary evidence that cross-identity moral licensing could help explain why efforts to increase representation fall short for women in tech.
NILAI SUN PROTECTION FACTOR EKSTRAK METANOL DAUN RAMBUTAN (Nephelium lappaceum) DENGAN SPEKTROFOTOMETRI
Authors: Na'ima Mirtaati
Published: March 2022

Penelitian pencarian agen tabir surya alami terus dikembangkan untuk mendapatkan agen tabir surya yang lebih aman. Tabir surya diperlukan untuk melindungi kulit dari bahaya sinar ultraviolet (UV). Sinar UV dapat bermanfaat bagi tubuh, namun menjadi berbahaya jika berlebih. Kemampuan suatu bahan dalam melindungi dari bahaya sinar UV biasa dinyatakan dalam sun protection factor (SPF). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui nilai SPF ekstrak metanol daun rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum). Penelitian ini nantinya dapat digunakan untuk menambah wawasan mengenai potensi daun rambutan untuk digunakan sebagai agen tabir surya alami. Proses ekstraksi menggunakan metode maserasi dengan pelarut metanol. Pengukuran nilai SPF dilakukan secara in vitro menggunakan metode spektrofotometri kemudian nilai absorbansi yang diperoleh dihitung menggunakan persamaan Mansur. Proses ekstraksi menghasilkan ekstrak pasta hitam kehijauan beraroma khas daun. Ekstrak metanol daun rambutan dengan konsentrasi 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, dan 1000 ppm memiliki kemampuan proteksi terhadap sinar UV, dinyatakan dalam nilai SPF berturut-turut sebesar 5,710; 10,398; 16,320; 20,920; 26,152; dan 37,983. Hasil yang berbeda dari tanaman yang sama dapat terjadi dikarenakan pengambilan bagian tubuh tanaman yang berbeda untuk diekstrak serta penggunaan jenis pelarut organik yang berbeda untuk proses ekstraksinya. Dalam penelitian ini, ekstrak metanol daun rambutan pada konsentrasi 100 dan 200 ppm memiliki kemampuan proteksi minimal, konsentrasi ekstrak 300-500 ppm memiliki kemampuan proteksi sedang, sedangkan konsentrasi ekstrak 1000 ppm memiliki kemampuan proteksi tinggi
