Elasticidades sociales, acciones heterogéneas, reflexividades inciertas: lineamientos para un programa de investigación sobre la juventud
Authors: Martuccelli Danilo
Published: October 2023

Resumen Esbozaremos las bases de futuros programas de investigación sobre las reflexividades y los itinerarios juveniles. La propuesta formulada no se estructura desde un nuevo diagnóstico de la modernidad contemporánea, sino a través de una serie de observaciones críticas acerca de los grandes impases teóricos generados por del denominado problema del orden social. En base a esta crítica, el artículo desarrolla tres grandes proposiciones. Primero: una propuesta de conceptualización alternativa de la sociedad desde las elasticidades irreductibles de la vida social. Segundo: un análisis de las razones de dicha elasticidad a partir de las nociones de textura y coerción, y la diversidad de sus articulaciones. Tercero: en base a los desarrollos anteriores se formula una problematización particular de la compleja relación entre la acción y la realidad, y sobre todo de la experiencia y la conciencia efectiva de los límites. Apoyándose en estos desarrollos y los cuestionamientos que entrañan a nivel de las reflexividades y de las trayectorias individuales y colectivas, el artículo propone en conclusión un conjunto de lineamientos para futuros programas de investigación principalmente en torno a las reflexividades y los itinerarios juveniles.
LA REPRESENTACIÓN DEL AL-ÁNDALUS EN LA ESCRITURA DE JORGE LUIS BORGES: ENTRE REALIDAD HISTÓRICA Y LITERATURA DE FICCIÓN
Authors: Marchoud Zakaria
Published: October 2023

El presente artículo de reflexión estudia las representaciones del Al-Ándalus en la escritura de Jorge Luis Borges, mediante el análisis de los elementos constituyentes de su cuento “La busca de Averroes”. Primeramente, se enfatiza en la realidad histórica a partir de referencias espacio-geográficas, indicaciones temporales y alusión a personajes reales. Así se resalta la teoría borgeana, la de los límites de la historia que recupera los hechos del pasado. En segundo lugar, se consideran los elementos generativos de la ficción tales como la retórica, los símbolos, las imágenes y la inserción de cuentos ficticios dentro de historias reales. Consecuentemente, se examina su teoría de interpretación literaria: la del significado del texto que no depende solo de las condiciones de su producción sino de su recepción. Finalmente, se responde a la siguiente pregunta: ¿“La busca de Averroes” se conforma como un relato histórico o pertenece a la narrativa de ficción?
The Pedagogical Benefits of Sensory Archaeology: A Case Study on Roman Britain
Authors: Rowan Erica
Published: October 2023

Archaeology, by its very nature, is a highly sensorial discipline. Teaching archaeology should be equally sensorially engaging. However, modern higher education prioritizes the visual and the auditory, and while handling sessions, laboratory work, and site visits are often part of a standard archaeology degree, they vary heavily based on departmental and student resources. At the same time, archaeology is in something of a crisis, tackling a lack of diversity, reduced funding, and a deep legacy of colonialism. This article demonstrates how the incorporation of the theories and methods of sensory archaeology into higher education curriculum can add sensorial density to a degree, enhance research, and at the same time help alleviate some of our current crises. As the first paper to explore the use of sensory archaeology in university education, it also makes an important contribution to the rather limited field of archaeological pedagogical research.

Authors: Muñoz Paredes Juan Fernando , Vallejo Castillo Vladimir Ernesto
Published: October 2023

Objetivo: Elaborar una bebida láctea fermentada mediante el aprovechamiento de lactosuero, probando diferentes composiciones y el efecto de estas en las variables de respuesta determinadas. Metodología: Se estudiaron dos factores o variables independientes (Relación lactosuero/leche y cantidad de pectina) con tres niveles para cada factor en la formulación de la bebida láctea fermentada. Se utilizó un diseño factorial 32 para un total de 9 tratamientos los cuales se hicieron por triplicado. Las variables de respuesta analizadas fueron pH, densidad y acidez, desarrollando un análisis de varianza con un nivel de significancia estadística α = 0,05. Igualmente, se realizó el análisis sensorial con 25 personas no entrenadas, y se aplicó el respectivo análisis de varianza con un nivel de significancia estadística α = 0,05. Resultados: Se encontró que los dos factores de estudio inciden en las variables de respuesta acidez y pH, pero solamente el factor cantidad de pectina influye en variable de respuesta densidad. Igualmente, el análisis sensorial determinó que los tratamientos utilizados no presentan diferencias estadísticamente significativas en las variables estudiadas. Conclusiones: el lactosuero es un coproducto valioso e importante, que puede ser aprovechado en la elaboración de una gran cantidad de productos alimenticios, debido a su calidad y a sus propiedades nutricionales, al igual que la uchuva, que al ser una fruta de la región le confiere valor agregado al producto final.

Violencia sexual y delito de lesa humanidad en la jurisdicción especial para la paz
Authors: Mateus Caicedo Franklin  Cesar , Silva Caceres Michel Edyson
Published: October 2023

Resumen: El objetivo principal de este artículo estriba en analizar las características del delito de lesa humanidad y su relación con la violencia sexual en la Jurisdicción Especial Para la Paz (JEP) en Colombia. Dicho análisis se hace a fin de determinar bajo qué parámetros son asumidos los crímenes sexuales para dicha institución y con el objeto, asimismo, de reflexionar sobre dicho tipo de violencia en el marco de los conflictos armados y de los procesos de justicia transicional. Como metodología se parte de la revisión de fuentes documentales y una perspectiva teórica de derechos humanos a fin de dar forma a la reflexión resultante. Finalmente se concluye que tanto el marco jurídico general del país como el control de convencionalidad empujan a que delitos sexuales como la violación sean interpretados por la JEP como una forma de quebrantamiento de la dignidad personal y, por tanto, como formas de tortura.
Interlimb Asymmetry of Maximal Handgrip Strength and Wrist Circumference in Elite International Male Boxers
Authors: Kumar Sandeep , Rajput Yajuvendra Singh
Published: October 2023

The purpose of the study was to examine interlimb maximal handgrip strength asymmetry and wrist circumference asymmetry in amateur boxing across three weight classes and two different stances.
Materials and methods. The study sample comprised 12 (flyweight:4; bantamweight:4; featherweight:4) amateur elite international boxers of India. Both limbs were tested for maximal handgrip strength and wrist circumference. For both tests, interlimb asymmetry was calculated using the interlimb asymmetry equation validated by Bishop et al. (2018). One-way ANOVA was used to compare asymmetries in three different weight classes, and an independent samples t-test was used to compare asymmetries in two different boxing stances.
Results. The average wrist circumference asymmetry in different weight classes was 2.85±1.97 for flyweight, 1.29±0.75 for bantamweight, and 2.44±1.23 for featherweight, whereas the average maximal handgrip strength asymmetry was 4.91±3.75 for flyweight, 7.69±1.89 for bantamweight, and 5.80±2.89 for featherweight. Non-significant differences in interlimb asymmetry for wrist circumference and maximal handgrip strength in three different weight classes and two different stances were obtained (p > 0.05).
Conclusions. The maximal handgrip strength asymmetry and wrist circumference asymmetry in elite international boxers were found to be less than 10 percent and observed non-significant differences in weight classes as well as stances indicate elite amateur international boxers to be less prone to interlimb asymmetry-related injuries and have favourable conditions for high performance.

Authors: Akinci Yasin , Ateş Bahar
Published: October 2023

Background. School-based physical activity interventions contribute positively to children’s general health, wellness, and quality of life. The present study aims to investigate the effect of a 12-week handball training intervention on the ingredients of physical fitness and physical performances of primary school children.
Materials and methods. In this quasi-experimental study, students participating in school-based handball training constitute the intervention group (IG) (n=15, aged 12.3 ± 0.96) and those who do not participate (n=17, aged 12.1 ± 0.83) constitute the comparison group. The linear speed (T30m), change of direction speed (T-test time), lower extremity power (standing long jump (SLJ)), muscular strength and endurance (30-sec curl-ups and push-ups), and estimated maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) (YYIRTL-1) were measured at the beginning and end of the handball training session. Independent samples t-test was conducted to test the significant differences in pretests between groups. Paired samples t-test was carried out to analyze statistically significant differences within groups.
Results. The results revealed that, except for SLJ test scores, the pre-tests IG performed statistically significantly higher than the CG. In post-test scores, the IG performed statistically significantly higher than the CG in all test scores. In addition, physical fitness performance levels of the IG significantly changed between pre- and post-test (p<0.05) but not in the control group (p>0.05).
Conclusions. In conclusion, school-based handball intervention can positively affect students’ physical fitness and performance characteristics.

Published: October 2023

Toplumsal farkındalığın birçoğu okul öncesi, ilk ve ortaokul çağlarında kazanılmaktadır. Diğer yandan öğrencilerin davranışlarının, ormancılık ve yaban hayatı dahil çevre bilinçlerinin gelişmesi, öğretmenlerin bilinç seviyesi ve farkındalığı ile doğrudan ilgilidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, orman yangınları konusunda ilkokul öğretmenlerinin bilgi seviyesini ve farkındalığını ölçmek ve öğrencilerin etkin bir şekilde bilinçlendirilmeleri ve eğitilmeleri için nasıl bir yöntem uygulanacağı konusunda öğretmenlerin görüşlerine ulaşmaktır. Çalışmada Bursa ilinde sosyal ve ekonomik koşullar dikkate alınarak rastgele seçilen okullarda ilkokul öğretmenleri ile anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler başta olmak üzere temel bileşenler analizi, Mann-Whitney U testi ve Kruskal-Wallis testi uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda ilkokul öğretmenlerinin bilgi seviyelerinde ve farkındalık düzeylerinde cinsiyete ve yaşa bağlı farklılık görülmemiştir. Yine sonuçlara göre, öğretmenler bilgi düzeylerinin yeterli olduğunu düşünmelerine rağmen, ormanlar, ormanların çevresel etkileri ve bu bağlamda orman yangınlarının sonuçları konularında yeterli bilgiye sahip değildirler. Bu sonuçlardan hareketle, toplumda çocukların eğitimi gibi önemli misyon üstlenen öğretmenlere Orman Genel Müdürlüğü tarafından Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı, üniversiteler, kamu ve sivil toplum kuruluşları ile birliği yaparak konu ile ilgili olarak eğitimler verilmesi önerilmektedir.

Luther on marriage, adultery, and its punishment
Authors: Magyar Balázs Dávid
Published: October 2023

The early period of the time of the Reformation was full of social, economic, and political problems reaching the circumstances of status confessionis. It is beyond dispute that the two high esteemed reformers, Luther and Calvin paid strong theological and ethical attention to the evaluation of the several topics of sexuality. Pursuing this “holy project” they were struggling for a more sacred marital and family life. However, as the reformers were trying to commit everything to prevent sexual sins/crimes, there still were so many cases when they were called to discuss in detail what the adequate punishments of adultery would be.

Copper (Cu) metal nanoparticles were deposited onto FTO glass using the electrodeposition method. The precursor used was CuSO4×5H2O with Na2SO4 as the inorganic additive. The formation of Cu was characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). This study investigated the impacts of the electrodeposition method (direct electrodeposition vs. pulse electrodeposition), voltages (‑0.4 V and ‑0.8 V), electrodeposition time (60s to 900s) and pulse cycles (50 cycles to 300 cycles), and FTO etching (fixed to 20s etching) towards the morphology and adhesion of Cu deposited. The grain size and thickness of Cu deposited vary with deposition time and pulse cycles. The voltage of -0.4 V successfully deposits shiny, metallic brown Cu onto FTO glass. Meanwhile, the voltage of -0.8 V gives powdery brown Cu on the surface. In addition, compared to direct electrodeposition (DD), pulse electrodeposition (PD) provides a more compact and homogeneous coverage of Cu onto FTO glass. The tape-test results also indicate that FTO etching by electrolysis reduction can improve the adhesion strength between deposited thin Cu film and the FTO glass. This work demonstrates a facile electrodeposition technique with substrate etching as an effective deposition of Cu metal with the potential for application in a wide range of fields.

Published: October 2023

The extraction of heavy metals and rare-earth elements from tailing residue has caused a significant impact towards the environment as well as the industrial workers as a result from the contamination caused by the processing activities. The radionclide concentration of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K in soil and tailing residue were found to be within the range of 0.31 - 4.97 Bqg-1 and 1.24 - 4.47 Bqg-1, 0.16 - 11.07 Bqg-1 and 1.08 - 8.56 Bqg-1, 0.22 - 1.24 and 0.18 - 1.32 Bqg-1, respectively. The radiological impack assessment findings indicated significant overexposure risks where the annual effective dose was estimated to be within the range of 0.7 – 207.6 mSvy-1 while the excess lifetime cancer risks we found to have exceeded the limit let by the local regulatory body. The correlation between study findings and the enactment of the licensing exemption order was done to identify the effects of non-regulatory compliance to the Atomic Energy Licensing Act. The study also emphasized on the remediation importance of industrial sites before implementing any form of changes towards new regulatory adherence. Hence, the study recommeneds potential remediation techniques but taking into account the operational status of each proceesing plant, degree of contation and possible future use of the contaminated site.

Published: October 2023

Cancer and antimicrobial resistance have become a threat to global health and development. This work aimed to identify the biological activities and phenolic compounds content of different Morinda citrifoliaL. root extracts. The relationship between biological activities and phenolic content was also discussed. All extracts were screened for antioxidant activity using anti-oxidant assays (FRAP, DPPH, TAOC, ABTS, and BCB) and quantitative phytochemical analyses (TPC). Antimicrobial activity against four bacterial and two fungal strains as well as cytotoxic activities on stomach cancer (SNU-1), colon cancer (LS-174T and HT29), leukemia (K562), and breast cancer (MDA-MB-361) cell lines were also performed. With a value of 122.789 g of gallic acid equivalent/mg extract, the dichloromethane extract had the highest total phenolic content (TPC). The extract also showed high antioxidant activities in all the antioxidant assays and antimicrobial activity. The FRAP (r2 = 0.962) as well as antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus (r2 = 0.708), Bacillus subtilis (r2 = 0.890) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (r2 = 0.870) were strongly correlated with the total phenolic content. The LS-174T, K562, HT-29, and MDA-MB-361 cytotoxic activities were also strongly correlated with the total phenolic content with r2 = -0.899, -0.845, -0.981, and -0.978, respectively. The results obtained suggested that the dichloromethane extract of Morinda citrifolia has high biological activity compared to other extracts.
Examining Solar Flare Effects on Earth's Ionosphere Using Ground-Based Measurements

Published: October 2023

This study investigated the simultaneous effects of solar flares (SFs) on both the D and E layers of Earth's ionosphere. The analysis focused on the M and X-class SFs that occurred during the 24th solar cycle as these two classes of SFs are known to produce significant effects on Earth’s environment, particularly during the daytime period. The data utilized to detect the SF events in this study were ground-based magnetometer data from the equatorial regions. Effects of the selected SF events on the E layer were investigated based on the EUEL index constructed using the geomagnetic data. Meanwhile, the changes in the strength of radio VLF signals in the D ionospheric layer during the selected SF events were monitored using Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance (SID) data. Two case studies were performed which consisted of four SF events from a total of 23 events that were detected by geomagnetic data during the period of study. Further analysis on the selected SF events showed the common effects of SFs on the D layer, which is the increment on the VLF signal measured from the SID stations although a different response was detected in the EUEL index variations. This indicates that the VLF signal always shows an increment even though a decrement in the ionization of the E layer occurs as a result of the SF events. The difference in responses could be attributed to the distinct changes in electron density of both layers during the SF occurrence. Further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanism responsible for this unique response, utilizing appropriate parameters such as total electron content, as well as the electron density data to thoroughly analyze the ionospheric response during SF events.

This research aims to examine the relationship between Pulau Langkawi wind speed data during the southwest monsoons in 2019 and 2020. To model wind speed data that follows a normal distribution. An error-in-variables model (EIVM) is utilised, which is a linear functional relationship model (LFRM). The QQ-plots will be utilised to investigate the adequacy of the model’s fit. The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) approach is employed to estimate the parameters of the model, while the covariance is calculated using the Fisher Information matrix. As a result, it is found that the estimated values demonstrate consistency and reduced dispersion. Thus, the findings could lead to a better knowledge of wind energy prediction.
Netupitant/palonosetron (NEPA; Akynzeo®) combination in prevention of the nausea and vomiting in patients with breast cancer receiving anthracyclinbased chemotherapy
Authors: Kedrova A. G. , Berishvili A. I.
Published: October 2023

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting is a common problem during cancer treatment, especially in breast cancer patients with anthracycline/cyclophosphamide (ас) chemotherapy. Netupitant/palonosetron (NEPA; Akynzeo®) is a fixed-dose combination of two drugs (netupitant, a neurokinin 1 receptor antagonist; and palonosetron, a serotonin 3 receptor antagonist) which target two diferent signalling pathways involved in the induction of vomiting. Approved for use in the prevention of acute and delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in adults, netupitant/palonosetron is given orally or via intravenous infusion as a single dose prior to chemotherapy. In clinical trials, high proportions of patients who received netupitant/palonosetron (used in combination with the corticosteroid dexamethasone) prior to chemotherapy reported no vomiting, no requirement for rescue medication, and no signifcant nausea in the 5 days post chemotherapy. Both the oral and intravenous formulations of the drug combination are well tolerated. Thus, netupitant/palonosetron is a simple, convenient and efective drug combination for the prevention of acute and delayed xhemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy that has a moderate to high emetogenic potential.

Published: October 2023

In this study, a structured approach combining Taguchi experimental design and analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to investigate the effects of skin material choice, material density, and percentage of reinforcement on the tensile properties of Kelvar/jute/synthetic foam hybrid sandwich composites. By deliberately changing these variables and examining how they affect tensile strength, modulus, and other important qualities, the goal is to maximize the mechanical performance of these composites. This work gives helpful insights into the interaction of these variables and their contribution to the overall tensile behavior of the composites through a series of carefully planned experiments and statistical studies. While ANOVA aids in quantifying the importance of individual components and interactions, the Taguchi approach makes it easier to identify the ideal parameter values. Making a substantial addition to the field of materials science and engineering, this combined method provides a solid framework for improving the design and engineering of lightweight, high-strength sandwich composites with customized features.

Authors: Shevra Chhaya , Kumar Himanshu
Published: October 2023

Struma ovarii is a highly specialized form of mature ovarian teratoma in which the ovary contains >50% of thyroid tissue. It accounts for 1 – 3% of benign teratomas of the ovary. Malignant transformation is observed in 5-37% cases of struma ovarii. Peak age of incidence 4 - 5th decade with excellent prognosis. We report a rare form of malignant struma ovarii, composed of a follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma with capsular invasion.

A65-year-old hypertensive postmenopausal female presented with complaints of pain in abdomen, pelvic mass, frequent micturition, since 3 days. A pelvic sonogram showed an enlarged heterogenous right ovarian mass of sized 12 x 9 x 5 cm, with solid cystic lesion. Left ovary was unilocular and cystic of sized 5.5 x 4 x 3 cm. The uterus and cervix appeared to be normal. She underwent an exploratory laparotomy, and a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Based on histopathological and radiological features an impression of follicular variant of papillary carcinoma of thyroid with capsular invasion was favoured.

Occipital intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula with giant venous aneurysm and ruptured temporal arterial aneurysm with intra cerebral haemorrhage – a case report
Authors: Balaji S. , Venkatesan S.
Published: October 2023

As we all know 10% of all cerebral vascular anomalies are caused by a dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF). While these lesions may be benign, the existence of retrograde venous drainage and cerebral venous reflux puts patients at risk of bleeding, neurological impairment, and death. Endovascular therapy is commonly utilized as the first-line treatment for dAVF. Both trans arterial and transvenous techniques are utilized to treat dAVF. The treatment strategy employed is dictated on the dAVF's angioarchitecture, location, and venous flow direction. Surgery and, to a lesser extent, stereotactic radiosurgery are used when endovascular procedures are ineffective or unsatisfactory, as well as when an AV fistula is associated with a ruptured aneurysm with cerebral bleeding.
Importance of biopsychosocial model in Indian clinical physiotherapy practice
Authors: Thiyagarajan Alagappan
Published: October 2023

The biopsychosocial model is one of the most important models in physiotherapy practice. It has been proven to be particularly useful in treating behaviorally regulated diseases that have a wide range of risk factors, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis, obesity, hypertension, and cardiac issues. Physiotherapists should be aware of their modes of action in terms of the cultural environment in which they operate and the unique needs of the patients in order to refocus Physiotherapy practice toward the whole treatment of patients without compromising professional ethics. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of physiotherapists' methods of action and to highlight the importance of incorporating models of disablement, the idea of rehabilitation, the biomedical model, and the biopsychosocial model into patient management strategies.

O português nos Colloquia, et Dictionariolum Octo Linguarum (1598), de Noël de Berlaimont: aspetos do contacto com o espanhol
Authors: Fonseca Maria do Céu
Published: October 2023

As duas línguas ibéricas são introduzidas nos Colloquia, et dictionariolum (1530, Antuérpia) em momentos cronológicos e contextos sociolinguísticos muito diferentes. O espanhol é a primeira língua moderna, depois do original bilingue, introduzida numa versão quatuor linguarum (flamengo, francês, latim e espanhol) em 1551 (Lovaina); é da responsabilidade de castelhanos; e, poucos anos depois é objeto de breves descrições gramaticais de morfologia e pronúncia. Quanto ao português, desconhece-se o seu autor; não teve descrição grafofonética; e foi introduzido numa versão octo linguarum (latim, francês, flamengo, alemão, espanhol, italiano, inglês e português) em 1598 (Delft), num período de grande impregnação linguística e cultural espanhola. A tradição do texto espanhol no manual de Berlaimont terá influenciado a tradução do texto em português? Será o texto espanhol uma espécie de hipotexto (Gérard Genette) linguístico do texto português? Visa-se neste trabalho dar algumas respostas sobre a relação entre estes dois textos ao nível de aspetos lexicais e sintáticos, focando-se também elementos da história externa do manual de Berlaimont e da natureza dos manuais de conversação.
Strategies to meet marital intimacy needs in women infected with coronavirus 2019: A framework qualitative content analysis research
Authors: Farajkhoda Tahmineh , Zarch Mahmood Kamali , Najafihedeshi Saeedeh
Published: October 2023

Background: Separating women with the coronavirus 2019 from family can affect marital life. Considering psychological vulnerability of women for anxiety and depression disorders, these women may experience more stress due to the loss of work at this time or special reproductive health conditions such as pregnancy, having a baby, or other medical conditions.
Objective: Considering a limited number of qualitative studies on the need for marital intimacy, this study was conducted to meet marital intimacy needs in women with coronavirus 2019.
Materials and Methods: Framework qualitative content analysis was conducted through participation of 13 key informants (sex therapist, couple therapist, psychologist, and midwifery counselor) and 18 infected women from Yazd, Iran in July 2020 who were selected purposefully and interviewed through the semi-structured in-depth interviews.
Results: 3 main categories were: 1) mutual resilience (subcategories: 1. coping strategies; 2. value of marital life; 3. compassionate conflict resolving). 2) skillful relationship (subcategories: 1. assertiveness in sexual expression; 2. self-efficacy in the distance physical connectivity). 3) synergy (subcategories: 1. reframing spirituality closeness; 2. empowering aesthetic creativity; 3. management of family function, and 4. prioritizing).
Conclusion: Findings revealed sex and couple therapists, health providers, and policymakers should emphasize on using new forms of digital communication in these couples. Teaching skills that increase partners’ creativity and empathy, enable women to fulfill their mental, sexual and reproductive health needs, and lead to more partners responsibility and loyalty, and maintenance of family function. In times of crisis, counseling should be considered in women treatment programs and care guidelines.

Sexual function and sexual satisfaction in individuals undergoing infertility: A systematic review
Authors: Firoozi Armin , Kashani Farah Lotfi , Vaziri Shahram
Published: October 2023

Background: Although sexual function (SF) and sexual satisfaction (SS) are the essential factors influenced negatively by infertility and may be associated with delaying or disrupting infertility treatment, no systematic review has assessed the results of these studies so far.
Objective: The present study aimed to systematically review published interventional research regarding SF and SS among infertile individuals.
Materials and Methods: In this systematic review, the databases of PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, PsycInfo, Google Scholar, and SID were searched to retrieve the relevant studies in Persian and English languages up to August 2021.
Results: 23 interventional studies were included in this systematic review, of which only 2 were low quality based on the critical appraisal skills program checklist. The interventions of the included studies were classified into 2 main categories: educational and psychological interventions for increasing the SF and SS among infertile women or couples.
Conclusion: There was no clear evidence to understand the most effective method for increasing SF and satisfaction among couples with infertility. Based on the results of the included studies, all of them showed the effectiveness of the various interventions performed on sexual health dimensions among couples with infertility. This systematic review showed that most SF studies were educational, whereas the SS were more psychologically interventional. Conducting standardized and high-quality randomized controlled trials focusing on SF and SS is recommended.

Analysis of Net Asset Value-based Projected Performance of Sharia Mutual Funds Post Covid
Authors: Rijal Anshori Arif , Siti Rohmah Maulida Ira , Dewi Himayasari Neng
Published: October 2023

As we know that the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the financial markets and banking sectors; however, it is different from the non-banking financial institutions having Sharia mutual funds. In 2019, the net asset value (NAV) of Sharia mutual funds were about 53,735.58, while in 2020 it increased to 74,367.44. Seeing the above phenomenon, mutual funds are one of the strategies that can be an investment opportunity and can be a safe investment alternative for capital owners, especially small capital owners and owners who do not have much time and expertise to calculate the return and risk on their investment. This study aims to examine the projections of the financial performance of Sharia mutual funds for the next 6 years. The method used is quantitative with a descriptive approach, data processing was done by projection analysis using Excel. The results of this study are the performance of Islamic mutual funds during the early post-Covid era, from May to the present, that has decreased to an asset value of 42,668.70 caused by withdrawal for Hajj funds, inflation, etc. The cause of the decline is in line with the theory above that Islamic mutual funds can be affected by unsystematic risk, which is impacted by the value of securities in the stock market that fluctuates according to general economic conditions. There is also a projected performance of Sharia mutual funds based on the NAV of the post-Covid era for the next 6 years that will continue to increase, reaching the highest point in 2027 of 102,054.28.

Application of Electronic Waste Cable Sheathing as Secondary Use Sound Insulation
Authors: Ryliškytė Kamilė ,   Vilnius Gediminas Technical University
Published: October 2023

Cable is the main component of electronic equipment which leads to increasing amounts of hollow sheaths after the removal of cores: metals with insulation layers. The continuously growing dependence on technology makes it more important than ever to reuse electronic waste that outlived its primary function, conserving the non-renewable resources and promoting secondary use. Tests done on different heights of 5 cm, 7 cm, 10 cm round structures (d = 30 mm) filled with different homogenous sheathings. The sound absorption coefficient measurements done with Kundt Tube were analysed according to length, hardness and number of strands: samples included single-stranded (soft (0.8 mm)); singlestranded (hard (0.6 mm)), double-stranded (hard (0.6 mm)); triple-stranded (soft (0.9 x 0.4 mm) sheaths. The results showed that the single stranded hard sheathing (0.6 mm) from 1600 Hz to 5000 Hz had the highest absorption values (αs = 0.31 - 0.69), corresponding to sound absorption class C/D.
Automatic Concept Explanation for Deaf Users
Authors: Dias André ,   Polytechnic Institute of Porto
Published: October 2023

In the learning process, concept explanation plays a crucial role, especially for languages with limited vocabulary like sign languages such as the Portuguese Sign Language (LGP). Due to the small lexicon of LGP, when compared to Portuguese, deaf users face difficulties when encountering words like "Nanotechnology" that have no corresponding sign in their mother language. Available tools, like online dictionaries in Portuguese, are not ideal because they explain the concepts in Portuguese, a distinct language from LGP. The work described in this paper solves this issue using machine learning, summarization, and automatic translation techniques to generate explanations of words or expressions that do not exist in the lexicon of LGP. The solution relies on web scrapping and summarization to gather explanations for a given concept in Portuguese, that are then translated to LGP and produced by a 3D avatar. This approach aims to overcome the limitations of reduced vocabulary, mainly in technical study fields.
