Liminality and the metaverse: An analysis of mytho-liminal and mystic-liminal games and their impact on player identity
Authors: Kravchenko Nataliia , Chaika Oksana , Yudenko Oleksandr , Muntian Oleksandr
Published: February 2025

The article explores the impact of liminality in immersive games on players’ identity from two perspectives: overcoming liminal phases associated with the initiation of a character in games with a narrative-plot architecture that reflects the universal stages of the hero’s “journey”; and overcoming liminality in survival horror games, where players use the virtual world to experiment with their psyche. It introduces and substantiates the terms of mytho-liminal and mystical-liminal games, assessing their positive and negative effects based on data from semi-structured interviews with student groups, totaling 120 informants. After processing the interview data and deriving quantitative indicators, the findings were refined and justified through the lens of research on liminal states, game psychology, and psychological studies on out-of-body experiences in virtual reality. It has been found that the positive effects of mystical-liminal games include the experience of emotions unattainable in the real world, development of coping potentials, working through unconscious conflicts and psychological traumas, and strengthening the moral imperative with a clear distinction between good and evil. The negative impact of mystical liminality manifests in feelings of fear, tension, and discomfort during gameplay, feelings of helplessness and frustration in cutscenes, and cognitive stress due to disidentification with the projective identity when the player’s “positive” avatar is transformed into an immoral character. The positive effects of mytho-liminal games include: enhancement of the sense of subjectivity, awareness of an ideal to emulate, strengthening of the value component of personality, development of creativity and problem-solving skills, unleashing positive potential of latent, unrealized possibilities, development of communication skills, and liberation from social conventions. Negative effects include self-dissociation and depersonalization in both psychological and physical terms, realization of latent destructive needs and deviant behavior, and the substitution of real initiation–finding one’s “self”–with pseudo-initiation through gameplay. This research provides insights into the intersection of liminal and virtual realities, shedding light on the psychological dimension of liminality in video games and enhancing the overall understanding of the liminality role in the virtual context.
Design, Development, and Performance Evaluation of a Motorized Cassava Peeling Machine
Authors: Amiebenomo Sebastian Oaihimires
Published: February 2025

This study focuses on the design, development, and performance evaluation of a motorized cassava peeling machine, constructed using locally sourced materials. The machine features an abrasive peeling drum, a hopper, a mild steel frame, and a pulley system, all powered by a 2 hp single-phase induction motor. During performance tests, the machine demonstrated an average throughput capacity of 75.54 kg/hr. and a peeling efficiency of 88.33%. Statistical analyses using factorial experimental designs revealed that machine speed and day after harvest had significant impacts on peeling efficiency (p = 0.0199) and throughput capacity. The optimal performance was observed when cassava tubers were processed 1 day after harvest using a 2 mm grater, maximizing throughput. While the interaction between the day after harvest and grater size significantly affected throughput capacity (p = 0.0213), the interaction between machine speed and grater size was insignificant. ANOVA results confirmed the reliability of the regression models, with model validation ensuring normality and constant variance. This locally fabricated machine offers an affordable and efficient solution for small to medium-scale cassava peeling, improving productivity and reducing manual labor.

These findings substantiate the efficiency of the POA algorithm in strategically positioning and sizing D-STATCOM, making significant strides toward minimizing losses and improving voltage profiles in distribution systems. In summary, this study provides valuable insights into the field of power systems optimization, offering a pioneering solution for the effective deployment of D-STATCOM to enhance the overall performance of distribution networks.
Effects of Zn Doped TiO2 on the Performance of Perovskite Solar Cells
Authors: Reddy Dwayne , Larzarus I. J.
Published: February 2025

The work focuses on the effects of Zn-doped TiO2 as the Electron Transport Layer in MAPbI3 based Perovskite Solar Cells with a carbon-based back electrode fabricated under controlled ambient conditions. Varying molar percentages of Zn-doped TiO2 of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 5 mol% were successfully incorporated into the TiO2 crystal structure using the sol-gel technique. Characterization through X-ray diffraction and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the incorporation of Zn ions. The crystallite size ranged from 19.99 to 7.1 nm, depending on the Zn ion doping concentration. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy verified the presence of the anatase phase of Zn-doped TiO2 at wavenumber 438 cm-1. Scanning Electron Microscope images exhibited fairly smooth and uniform surface coverage for the Zn-doped TiO2 layers. The Rq values for surface roughness showed a decrease from 26.85 nm for undoped TiO2 to 23.4 nm for the 5 mol% Zn-doped TiO2 layer. UV-Vis spectroscopy demonstrated low light transmission loss characteristics from 300 to 790 nm, with the 2 mol% Zn-doped TiO2 showing slightly improved light transmission between 550 and 800 nm. The bandgap energy of undoped and Zn-doped TiO2 ranged from 3.53 to 3.38 eV. An optimum power conversion efficiency of 5.67% was achieved with a 2 mol% dopant concentration. However, increasing the Zn dopant to 5 mol% led to a slight deterioration in the PCE. According to the optimized ETL processing for the PSC, the Jsc increased from 12.2185 mA/cm2 to 12.25594 mA/cm2, the Voc increased slightly from 0.90569 V to 0.9231 V, and the PCE from 5.199% to 5.67%.

QUALIDADE AMBIENTAL PARA TODOS! REPENSANDO A MORADIA AUTOCONSTRUÍDA NAS FAVELAS DE SÃO PAULO
Authors: Pizarro Eduardo Pimentel , Gonçalves Joana Carla Soares
Published: February 2025

A favela de Paraisópolis, a maior da cidade de São Paulo e terceira maior do país, é marcada pela injustiça climática, em diferentes escalas. O artigo apresenta uma investigação empírica desenvolvida com o objetivo de propor e aplicar diretrizes e estratégias arquitetônicas que melhorem as condições de conforto térmico em espaços internos de moradias autoconstruídas, utilizando materiais comuns e respeitando as dinâmicas e a identidade locais. A pesquisa seguiu um método "pro-design", incluindo trabalho de campo, simulações computacionais e a construção de um protótipo 1:1 na comunidade. Os resultados indicaram que a substituição de fachadas convencionais por alternativas que promovam o sombreamento e ventilação natural pode reduzir significativamente as temperaturas internas, contribuindo com o desempenho térmico da edificação. O protótipo, construído na cobertura do centro comunitário de Paraisópolis, serviu à aplicação real das estratégias, oferecendo um modelo de replicação, em pequena escala, para os moradores da comunidade. A pesquisa também envolveu a comunidade local, promovendo o aprendizado mútuo e a aplicação prática das soluções. Por fim, o artigo discute a relevância dessas soluções não apenas para as favelas, mas também para outros assentamentos autoconstruídos da cidade, e a necessidade de ampliar a conscientização sobre o direito à moradia digna e ambientalmente confortável.

Os genes do tipo HLA são considerados responsáveis por quase 50% do risco genético de diabetes tipo 1, sendo importante a sua identificação nas populações. Os haplótipos e seus efeitos no risco ou proteção variam entre os diferentes grupos étnicos, principalmente em uma população mista. Este artigo é uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa e objetiva identificar a associação dos genes do sistema de histocompatibilidade humano (HLA) com DM1 em brasileiros, a fim de verificar a distribuição e frequência de alelos e haplótipos HLA nestes pacientes. As buscas foram realizadas de setembro de 2022 a agosto de 2024 através das bases de dados PubMed e BVS, sem recorte temporal e através dos descritores “Brazil”, “HLA antigen”, "diabetes mellitus, type 1". Foram selecionados artigos de diversos delineamentos experimentais, os quais demonstraram, principalmente, associações genéticas com a ancestralidade e etnia dos indivíduos brasileiros. Deste modo, é possível concluir que a ampla gama de genes HLA no Brasil pode ser explicada por uma característica da população brasileira, em que, embora bastante miscigenada, tem maior contribuição da ascendência europeia, como demonstrado em estudos anteriores.
Disability, discrimination, and the effectiveness of wage subsidies: A job-search approach
Authors: Bellemare Charles , Sory Aissatou Diallo Ibrahima , Goussé Marion
Published: February 2025

In this paper we develop and estimate a job search model with matching and bargaining in the presence of employer taste-based discrimination. The model is estimated using a longitudinal panel data from Canada’s Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID). Estimates suggest that employer discrimination and individual labour costs explain the majority of labour market disparities between persons living with and without disabilities. We use our model to estimate several counterfactuals. We find that implementing a hiring wage subsidy policy could increase the employment rate of persons with disabilities by 7 percentage points. Eliminating discrimination, on the other hand, would have an even greater impact, raising the employment rate by 14 percentage points for men, and 19 percentage points for women. Combining both measures — removing discrimination and introducing a hiring wage subsidy — would lead to an employment rate increase of 20 percentage points for men, and 24 percentage points for women. This combined approach would significantly reduce the existing employment rate gap between persons with and without disabilities. In particular, the employment rate gap is predicted to fall to 33 percentage points for men (relative to 53 percentage points in the data) and to 13 percentage points for women (relative to 39 percentage points in the data).
The mediating effect of positive and negative religious coping, compassion and resilience on the relationship between negative life events and wellbeing among women in Kenya, the Philippines, Nicaragua and Spain
Authors: Cohen Keren , Baker Chris , Hoggard Kari
Published: February 2025

The current study explores the mediating effect of positive and negative religious coping on the relationship between negative life events and wellbeing, via its link with compassion and resilience among women who are involved in women’s empowerment programs run by a US faith-based non-profit humanitarian and disaster relief organisation, Convoy of Hope. The sample includes women from four countries (N = 1041), Kenya, the Philippines, Nicaragua and Spain, who took part in a digital survey. A mediation analysis was used, and the results revealed a full mediation effect, so that the number of negative life events was linked to wellbeing via an increase in both positive and negative religious coping strategies, compassion and then resilience. It also revealed other mediation paths via religious coping and resilience. Positive religious coping was linked to higher resilience and then higher wellbeing, whereas negative religious coping was linked to lower resilience and then lower wellbeing. The results highlight the role of compassion in adaptive religious coping and delineate the overall benefits of religious coping in the context of adversity.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability worldwide, characterized by progressive cartilage degeneration. Nutritional interventions, particularly omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), have shown potential in slowing cartilage degradation. Striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) is a rich source of omega-3 PUFAs and essential amino acids, which may support cartilage health and regeneration. A post-test-only control group design was implemented using 50 male mice (Mus musculus), randomly assigned to either a control group (standard diet) or a treatment group (striped catfish-supplemented diet). The intervention lasted for eight weeks. Cartilage thickness and chondrocyte count were measured histologically using ImageJ software, and statistical significance was determined using independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests. The treatment group exhibited significantly increased cartilage thickness (p < 0.001) and chondrocyte count (p < 0.001) compared to controls. These findings suggest that the nutrients in striped catfish enhance cartilage metabolism, reduce inflammation, and support extracellular matrix (ECM) integrity. Striped catfish supplementation demonstrates significant benefits for cartilage health, potentially aiding in OA management. Future research should explore optimal dosages and long-term effects to further validate these findings.
Moule Quagga: concept de monitoring et recommandations sur les mesures de prévention et de protection

Published: February 2025

Des moules quagga ont été détectées pour la première fois à Bâle en 2014 grâce à l'ADN environnemental (ADNe) (De Ventura et al. 2017). En 2016, des spécimens de moules quagga ont été découverts pour la première fois dans le lac de Constance. Dès 2021, des initiatives d'information et de sensibilisation à grande échelle ont été lancées en Suisse. Cependant, entre-temps, plusieurs grands lacs ont été envahis par cette espèce. Bien que la dynamique de propagation laisse présager un risque élevé de colonisation supplémentaire en Suisse, nous estimons que chaque année de retard dans l'arrivée des moules quagga dans un lac constitue un gain précieux. Sur le plan financier, cela permet de réaliser des économies, de disposer de plus de temps pour adapter les infrastructures, et de préserver l'état naturel des lacs aussi longtemps que possible. C'est pourquoi nous recommandons vivement que les mesures de protection et de surveillance des eaux décrites dans ce rapport soient mises en œuvre dans les plus brefs délais réalisables par tous les acteurs concernés. Ce rapport a pour objectif de faciliter cette démarche. Plus l'action sera rapide, plus ses effets seront bénéfiques. (...)

Reforms and initiatives applied to the field of higher education during the past decade focus particularly on extending the scope of communicative educational space and scientific fields integration. Consequently, linguistic competence contributing to significant acceleration of the processes of globalization and internationalization of the society as a whole becomes the key component of higher professional education. It is necessary to ascertain that the current system of language education in universities fails to deal with the tasks in hand comprehensively. The search for more efficient didactical tools and ways of organizing teaching processes culminated in choosing the paradigm of integrated education, specifically, integration of subject knowledge and foreign language. This approach is well-renowned in scientific and educational literature as CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning).

Published: February 2025

This paper investigates the physical development of undergraduate students enrolled in a Sports Management program over a 16-week academic semester. Thirty participants (aged 18–23), comprising both male and female students, were assessed on four key fitness components: cardiovascular endurance (using a 1.5-mile run test), muscular strength (1RM bench press), flexibility (sit-and-reach test), and body composition (skinfold measurements). Students participated in a structured curriculum that integrated theoretical coursework with two hours of supervised physical training each week. Quantitative findings indicated statistically significant improvements in run times, bench press strength, flexibility scores, and reductions in body fat percentage. Qualitative interviews revealed that peer support, accountability through testing, and perceived professional advantages in sports administration motivated students to maintain regular physical activity. However, participants also highlighted time constraints and academic workload as obstacles. The study concludes that embedding practical fitness training into sports management curricula not only promotes students’ well-being and functional knowledge but also prepares future sports professionals to lead and advocate for healthier athletic environments.

METODE MA’NA CUM MAGHZA DALAM MEMAHAMI AYAT-AYAT DZIKIR
Authors: Azizah Arisa Wijaya Nadiah
Published: February 2025

The essence of human creation is to worship and serve Allah. In addition to prayer, many forms of worship lead humans to continually depend on Allah SWT, one of which is dhikr. Dhikr is a form of worship that can be performed anytime and anywhere without any hindrance. While prayer may be obstructed by several factors, this does not apply to dhikr. Even women in a state of nifas (postpartum period) and menstruation are not prohibited from constantly remembering Allah SWT. However, the peoples do not understand this essence. Therefore, in this study, the author will present the interpretation of dhikr verses and examine the benefits and virtues contained in these verses using the Ma’na cum Maghza approach. This research aims to provide an understanding of the virtues and benefits of dhikr. This study is a library research that takes data and information from various materials in the library, such as books, magazines, documents, notes, historical stories, and others. The method used is descriptive analysis, which describes matters related to dhikr and the Ma’na cum Maghza theory obtained from primary sources such as Tafsir al-Munir, Tafsir al-Qurtubi, Tafsir al-Misbah, as well as related books and literature. Then, an analysis is conducted on the dhikr verses that have been described, by interpreting the Qur'anic verses and explaining all aspects contained in them, such as the meaning of words, asbabun nuzul (reasons for revelation), according to the steps used in the Ma’na cum Maghza theory. At the end of the discussion, this study concludes that dhikr has many meanings and different purposes. Among them, there is the intention to remember Allah when the time for prayer arrives, to remember Allah by contemplating the nature and all forms of His creation, and the context of remembering Allah during prayer. With this theory, many ways of remembering Allah are found to increase our faith in Him and strengthen our Aqeedah and Tawheed in Allah SWT.
