Authors: Osunsanmi Adeshola Sekinat , Ayandibu Ayansola Olatunji , Heeralal Shalen
Published: April 2024

Functional foods are foods that improve mental and physical well-being. Consumption of functional food has attracted much interest globally based on its benefit in the prevention of life-threatening diseases such as obesity, stroke, heart attack, diabetes, and cancer. Notwithstanding the health importance of functional food consumption, research on the marketing of functional foods is sparse in the literature. The research seeks to evaluate consumers purchase behaviour toward functional foods. The research employed a quantitative method. A consumer survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire on a sample of 384 consumers at several grocery stores in the uMhlathuze region, South Africa. The findings demonstrate the significance of understanding consumer motivations and attitudes in enabling food producers to implement the best marketing strategy to increase sales as well as enabling dietitians and medical professionals to share information and create more awareness regarding the health benefits of consuming functional foods. Likewise, the findings showed a significant positive correlation between social factors and age. This indicated that as people increase in age, social factors have more impact on their purchase decisions toward functional foods.

Authors: Molokomme Radiakga Thabang
Published: April 2024

The global shift from traditional face-to-face learning to e-learning, spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, has significantly transformed higher education (HE) landscapes. Many institutions in developing countries, unprepared for this shift, now find e-learning integral to the educational process. This study explores challenges faced by academic staff at a South African University of Technology (UoT) post-COVID-19. Utilising a phenomenological qualitative research approach, insights were gathered from academic staff through semi-structured interviews. Key challenges identified include insufficient infrastructure, limited training, technological proficiency gaps, student engagement issues, and concerns about academic dishonesty. Practical recommendations encompass infrastructure enhancement, digital training, blended learning strategies, improved student engagement, and measures to ensure academic integrity. These adaptable suggestions provide insights for institutions seeking to enhance e-learning environments, contributing to improved teaching and learning (T&L) outcomes in an evolving educational landscape. It was further recommended that future studies can explore long-term intervention effects, conduct comparative institution studies, and delve into innovative pedagogical approaches.

Authors: Latifah Asma , Pratamawaty Benazir Bona
Published: April 2024

Now that we have entered an era of technological progress, a lot of social activism has started to take place on social media. There has been a lot of research discussing environmental activism that takes place on various social media. This research focuses on a person's attitude towards the circulation of environmental issues on social media. Attitude variables are taken from the TPB. Previous research examined all components of the TPB. However, this research only discusses attitudes that will have an influence. Apart from that, this research also discusses how a person's attitude after being exposed to environmental issue content can influence the desire to like the upload, donate, and volunteer. Research data was obtained using a precise quantitative method, namely by taking free samples. This method is carried out by distributing questionnaires on social media to make it easier for researchers to obtain samples that meet the criteria. Then the data obtained from distributing the questionnaires was analyzed using the SmartPLS and SPSS applications. From the results obtained, there is a positive relationship and significant influence between the predictor variables and the independent variables. This means that there really is an interplay between attitudes towards the content of environmental activism and the specified desires. Environmental activism content on social media is received positively by every individual. This is what makes them increasingly want to like environmental issue content, donate money and volunteer.
UV-C-induced changes in a white wine: Evaluating the protective power of hydrolysable tannins and SO2

Published: April 2024

UV‑C treatment is a non-thermal technology that could be used for the microbiological stabilisation of must and wine. However, light - in this case UV‑C light - has an impact on wine. UV‑C is a high-energy light source and can promote photo-induced oxidation reactions. The formation of reactive oxygen species during the UV-C treatment of wine can be prevented via supplementation with antioxidants. These have the ability to neutralise reactive oxygen species or directly interact with the products of photo-induced oxidation reactions. This study investigates the impact of different UV‑C doses on the chemical and sensory characteristics of Chardonnay wine and examines the protective effect of two antioxidants: sulphur dioxide (SO2) and hydrolysable tannins. A sensory evaluation revealed that UV‑C doses higher than 1 kJ/l increased the colour intensity and the oxidised and burnt odour attributes of the wine. The peach odour attribute decreased with UV‑C treatment. On a chemical level, increasing UV‑C doses promoted the formation of compounds such as acetaldehyde and 2‑aminoacetophenone (2‑AAP), while causing the degradation of C13‑norisoprenoids, higher alcohols, monoterpenes and esters. Contrary to expectations, SO2 did not act as an antioxidant when wine was treated with UV-C. It intensified the burnt odour attribute and did not mitigate the intensity of the oxidised odour attribute, which can be explained by the formation of acetaldehyde. However, hydrolysable tannins acted as antioxidants when combined with UV‑C treatment, effectively mitigating the formation of 2‑AAP and acetaldehyde, while preventing the wine from becoming oxidised.

Determinant of Murabaha financing in Indonesian Sharia banking: The ARDL and NARDL approach
Authors: Widarjono Agus , Misanam Munrokhim
Published: April 2024

IntroductionMurabaha financing accounts for the largest portion of Sharia bank financing, and many previous studies have analyzed this topic using symmetric impact. However, studies using the asymmetric link, a common phenomenon in economic theory, are limited.ObjectivesThis study explores the determinants of Murabaha financing with symmetric and asymmetric approaches. MethodThe explanatory variables are the bank-specific variables in the form of the Murabaha financing rate, the cost of borrowing money, and the macroeconomic conditions in the form of the Industrial Production Index, which is a proxy of domestic output. The period of study is from 2010 to 2021 using monthly data. The method is Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) for symmetric analysis and non-linear ARDL (NARDL) for asymmetric analysis.ResultsThe symmetric effect method indicates that the Murabaha financing rate negatively affects Murabaha financing, but the Industrial Production Index has no effect on Murabaha financing. The asymmetric effect method suggests that the Murabaha financing rate and Industrial Production Index asymmetrically affect Murabaha financing. ImplicationsMurabaha financing will experience a drastic fall if there is a rise in the Murabaha financing rate, but a fall in the Murabaha financing rate will not have an impact on an increase in Murabaha financing. Economic upturns boost Murabaha financing, but economic downturns have no impact on Murabaha financing.Originality/NoveltyThe main contribution of our research is evidence of the asymmetric response of Murabaha financing to bank-specific variables as well as macroeconomic conditions in which Sharia banks are resilient to the business cycle.
Electrical-Quantum Modelling of the Neutron and Proton as a Three-Phase Alternating Current Electrical Generator. Determination of the Number of Quarks-Antiquarks-Gluons and Gravitons, Inside a Neutron
Authors: Gerardo Flores Hector , Gonçalves de Souza Maria Isabel
Published: April 2024

Here we will electrically-quantum model the neutron and proton as a three-phase alternating current electric generator, for this, we will use the theory of three-phase electric generators and vector or phasor diagrams. We will use this model to hypothesize how the quarks that form neutrons and protons with a combined mass of 10 MeV/c², can generate, through quarks-antiquarks-gluon interactions, a mass of 939.56 MeV/c² for the neutron and a mass of 938.27 MeV/c² for the proton. Using quantum mechanics and the theory of the generalization of the Boltzmann constant in curved space-time we will calculate the number of quarks-antiquarks-gluons and gravitons inside a neutron. We will also analyse βˉ decay using vector diagrams, we will calculate the tension of the string T₀ and the length of the string ℓs between quarks-antiquark and finally, we will model a black hole using a neutron equivalent model. In version 2 of this article, we will update the vector diagrams of the βˉ decay and theoretically calculate the energy of the W⁻ boson, the Z⁰ boson, and the Θ angle, Θ = arc cos (W⁻/Z⁰). We will demonstrate, through vector diagrams, that quarks-antiquarks-gluon interactions are the cause of the origin of the W⁻ boson and the Z⁰ boson. We will also demonstrate how the fine structure constant α originates. It is important to make clear, in future updates, we will describe the relationship that exists between the theory described in this paper and the Isospin theory, flavour and colour theory
Scale Invariant Parity Doublet Model: Interplay between the Vector Mesons and the Dilatons /Parity Doubling in Dense Baryonic Matter as an Emergent Symmetry and Pseudo-Conformal Model
Authors: Lee Hyun Kyu
Published: April 2024

The star matter composed of nucleons deep inside the compact star like a neutron star is believed to be very dense and various new types of concepts and physical phenomena due to the nontrivial strong correlations are naturally expected. Peudo-conformality in dense star matter has been discussed recently assuming the hidden underlying scale symmetry, which is partly supported by the recent discussions of infrared conformal window of QCD. It is found that the appearance of dilaton and the dilatonic mean field calculation of nucleonic matter lead to the density independent nucleon mass at higher density regime than normal nuclear matter density. Non-vanishing constant nucleon mass can be considered as a chiral invariant mass of the parity doublet model, in which the chiral symmetry is manifested even in the massive nucleon sector provided with a parity doubling. In this paper we will discuss how the chiral and scale symmetry are correlated to lead the parity doublet symmetry inside the core of the compact star. A simple schematic model is adopted. The star matter at T=0 is basically composed of the nucleons. As a first approximation, they can be treated as free fermions with the effective mass filled up to fermi surface. There is a nontrivial feature due to the interplay between vector meson and nucleon(or equivalently dilaton, χ). The trace of energy momentum tensor approaches density independent, the pseudo-conformal phase. Local fluctuations inside the star matter will be travelling with the speed of sound which depends on the equation of state. In the pseudo-conformal phase, the speed of sound approaches to the conformal velocity for the scale symmetric matter, vc=13c. The excitations of the parity doublets in the compact star matter as an emerging phenomena in pseudo-conformal phase will be discussed in connection to the chiral symmetry. The possible implication on the corespondence of hadrons to quark degrees of freedom will be briefly discussed.
Thermophilic Composting as a Means to Evaluate the Biodegradability of Polymers used in Cosmetic Formulations
Authors: Gillece Timothy W. , Gerardi Helen K. , McMullen Roger L. , Thompson William T.
Published: April 2024

In the past decade, a growing demand for sustainable cosmetic ingredients has yielded numerous biodegradation protocols. While OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) aquatic assays are suitable for water-borne chemicals, it is crucial for the personal care industry to consider the persistence of plastics in soil, compost, and municipal sludge. Adopting this cradle-to-grave holistic approach would strengthen product appeal, while increasing the accuracy and ethical integrity of green-product labeling. Our study employs quantitative CO2 detection and thermophilic composting protocols specified in ASTM D5338, along with pass level criteria outlined in ASTM D6400, to assess the mineralization of plastics commonly formulated into personal care products. The results indicate that many cellulose ethers, cationic guars, starches, and labile polyesters demonstrate satisfactory disintegration, biodegradation, and seed germination rates to secure an ASTM D6400 compostability claim. In contrast, macromolecules designed with carbon-carbon backbones resisted acceptable mineralization in composting experiments, suggesting that unadulterated municipal compost lacks the microbial diversity to enzymatically digest many synthetically derived resins. Additionally, polymers that demonstrated acceptable biodegradability in internal and published OECD aquatic studies—including chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol—exhibited limited fragmentation in local municipal compost; hence, untested correlations between aquatic, soil, and compost testing outcomes should never be assumed.

Background: The main objective of this study is to develop a customized metatarsophalangeal implant for the treatment of various conditions affecting this specific joint. This approach involves replacing the joint with a custom implant designed specifically to fit each patient's unique anatomical structure. The need for custom implants stems from the obvious lack of size variety available, which presents a major challenge when, the search for the ideal size implant can be a hard task, also when considering the possibility of extensive modification of the bone to adapt it to the available implant. This adaptation, often synonymous with bone reduction, can cause significant post-operative pain for the patient and impact healing time. Methods: A comparative study of modeling software was carried out to select the perfect software, by defining and comparing the relevant criteria. Similarly, the different biomaterial options were examined and compared to select the one best suited to this project, mentioning the imaging modality used to determine the types of images used for our approach. Finally, the 3D printers used in this work were represented, highlighting their technical characteristics. Findings: A resin metatarsophalangeal implant prototype was created using 3D modeling and reconstruction software and tools. Interpretation: Reconstruction and 3D modeling techniques are revolutionizing implant creation, offering customized solutions for patients suffering from metatarsophalangeal joint disorders caused by a wide range of diseases. These results have significant implications for disability management and rehabilitation, encouraging further exploration and progress.
Treatment of Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma Using RNAi and CRISPR Targeting the WNT Pathway
Authors: Gokul Sudarshan , Gokul Mukundhan
Published: April 2024

Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma (ACP) is a rare epithelial tumor located in the craniopharyngeal duct, often associated with high morbidity and a high long-term recurrence rate. ACP is predominantly diagnosed in children below the age of 15 and accounts for a majority of Craniopharyngioma cases in the United States. It is most commonly caused by a mutation in exon 3 of the CTNNB1 gene, which promotes overaccumulation of β-Catenin in the WNT pathway. As β-Catenin accumulates, it over-activates the transcription factor, causing an over-transcription of WNT proteins and uncontrolled cell growth. Current methods of treatment for ACP are centered around surgical intervention and radiotherapy, including gross-total resection (GTR), subtotal resection (STR), and a combination of subtotal resection and adjuvant radiotherapy (STR+XTR). These methods of treatment are associated with high risk due to the proximity of ACP to critical structures near the craniopharyngeal duct. High recurrence rates and morbidity are closely associated with current methods of treatment and other methods have yet to be attempted in craniopharyngioma. This review will explore two possible methods of non-surgical and non-radiological therapeutic interventions. The use of RNAi therapy and CRISPR may provide insight and be a potential way to treat ACP with increased quality of life and decreased recurrence rates.
Enhancing Emotion Detection with Sentiment Analysis Insights

Published: April 2024

The exploration and understanding of sentiments and emotions through textual analysis are foundational to advancements in natural language processing (NLP). While sentiment analysis, which involves discerning the polarity of text, has been extensively explored, the nuanced detection of complex emotions within textual content is still an emerging area of study. In this paper, we introduce EmoLeverage, a model leveraging Transformer architecture and enhanced with a novel Fusion Adapter module. This model aims to deepen emotion detection capabilities by drawing insights from fundamental sentiment analysis tasks, focusing exclusively on textual data. EmoLeverage sets a new standard in the field by demonstrating that deep, nuanced understanding of emotions is achievable through text alone, challenging and surpassing existing methodologies in emotion identification on key datasets. This is a significant step forward, considering the complexity of human emotions and the subtleties involved in their expression through language. By concentrating on textual input, EmoLeverage offers a promising avenue for applications where audio or visual data is not available, highlighting the versatility and potential of text-based emotional analysis. Our approach illustrates the untapped potential of leveraging sophisticated NLP techniques to enhance the detection and comprehension of a wide array of emotions from text. The success of EmoLeverage in outperforming conventional models in emotion recognition tasks underscores the model's effectiveness in parsing and understanding the intricate expressions of human emotions through linguistic cues alone. This achievement paves the way for more accurate, efficient, and nuanced emotion detection tools, potentially transforming various sectors by providing deeper insights into human emotional states through text.
Information Value Model Based Mapping of Updated Spatial and Temporal Landslide Susceptibility: A Case Study from East Sikkim District, India’s Northeastern Himalayas
Authors: Rafique Md Fariduddin , Joshi Varun
Published: April 2024

The Indian Himalayan Region (IHR), due to its topography, geography, and active
tectonics, a rough mountain zone, is among the most vulnerable zones to the landslip
danger. The most cutting-edge and accurate ways for creating a landslip susceptibility
model (LSM) are advanced statistical techniques. The goal of the current work was to
use advanced statistical techniques to analyse and evaluate the updated landslip
susceptibility for East District in the NE Himalayas of Sikkim, India. The spatiotemporal
landslip inventory for the years are produced using literature surveys, historical
satellite imageries and on-site observations. Slope, aspect, elevation, curvature, plane
curvature, profile curvature, topographic wetness index (TWI), lithology, distance to
faults, distance to streams, distance to roads, normalised difference vegetation index
(NDVI), rainfall, drainage density and land use/ land cover (LULC) are some of the
topographic, environmental, geologic, and anthropogenic factors that were included in
the spatial database. These LCFs were chosen to study the area's periodic landslip
vulnerability. An inventory of 151 landslides from historical published records, field
visits and Imagery interpretations, respectively, were used in the experimental design.
Information Value Model (IVM), was used to evaluate the vulnerability to landslides as
determined by fifteen LCFs. The goal of the study is to reduce the number of fatalities
and possible economic harm caused by the region's frequent slope instabilities. It is
expected that the application of statistical algorithms would assist relevant authorities
and organisations in properly planning for and managing the region's landslip threat.

Authors: Ndimako Onyedikachukwu , Sholanke Anthony
Published: April 2024

Research into health, particularly social and psychological health, is crucial. Ultimately, an in-depth understanding of social and psychological health will more than promote well-being. Technology research is indispensable, particularly concerning health and the built environment, given the need to create holistic and supportive frameworks for well-being. Moreover, because literature reviews establish the foundation for academic inquiries, they provide valuable overviews for foresight into grey research areas, particularly multi-disciplinary research like health technology and the built environment. Hence, this study aims to discover the existing themes on health, technology, and built-environment nexus subjects while revealing the grey areas and suggesting proactive areas for future research. The objectives drove this aim to: 1. investigate the implications of technology for the social and psychological dimensions of health; 2. uncover the likelihood of a nexus between health, technology, and the built environment; and 3. highlight new research perspectives for the concluding seven years of the SDGs (2024–2030). The review results highlighted ten themes around which a nexus exists between health, technology, and the built environment; they also pointed out new research perspectives for the next seven years (up to 2023).
