Verification and Calibration of a Commercial Anisotropic Magnetoresistive Magnetometer by Multivariate Non-linear Regression
Authors: Belsten Nicholas , Knapp Mary , Masterson Rebecca , Payne Cadence , Ammons Kristen , Lind Frank D. , Cahoy Kerri
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Commercially available anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) magnetometers exhibit order 1 nano-Tesla (nT) sensitivity in small size, weight, and power (SWaP) packages. However, AMR magnetometer accuracy is diminished by properties such as static offsets, gain uncertainty, cross-axis coupling, and temperature effects. This work presents a measurement of the magnitude of these effects for a Honeywell HMC1053 magnetometer and evaluates a method for calibrating the observed effects by multivariate non-linear regression using a 27 parameter measurement equation. The presented calibration method has reduced the vector norm of the root mean square error from 4.3 µT to 0.072 µT for the data acquired in this experiment. This calibration method has been developed for use on the AERO-VISTA CubeSat missions, but the methods and results may be applicable to other resource constrained magnetometers whose accuracies are limited by the offset, gain, off-axis, and thermal effects similar to the HMC1053 AMR magnetometer.

Abstract. Soil hydraulic properties (SHP), particularly soil water retention capacity and hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils, are among the key properties that determine the hydrological functioning of terrestrial systems. Some large collections of SHP, such as the UNSODA and HYPRES databases, already exist for more than two decades. They have provided an essential basis for many studies related to the critical zone. Today, SHP can be determined in a wider saturation range and with higher resolution by combining some recently developed laboratory methods. We provide 572 high-quality SHP data sets from undisturbed samples covering a wide range of soil texture, bulk density and organic carbon content. A consistent and rigorous quality filtering ensured that only trustworthy data sets were included. The data collection contains: (i) SHP data: soil water retention and hydraulic conductivity data, determined by the evaporation method and supplemented by retention data obtained by the dew point method and saturated conductivity measurements, (ii) basic soil data: particle size distribution determined by sedimentation analysis and sieving, bulk density and organic carbon content, as well as (iii) meta data including the coordinates of the sampling locations. In addition, for each data set, we provide soil hydraulic parameters for the widely used van Genuchten/Mualem model and for the Peters-Durner-Iden (PDI) model, which accounts for non-capillary retention and conductivity. The data were originally collected to develop and test advanced models of SHP and associated pedotransfer functions. However, we expect that they will be very valuable for various other purposes such as simulation studies or correlation analyses of different soil properties to study their causal relationships.
La realidad fotoficcionada. Propuesta de análisis metodológico del trabajo artístico de Joan Fontcuberta y estudio de caso de la obra Prosopagnosia
Authors: Luna-Lozano Sergio
Published: March 2023

Desde sus inicios, el trabajo del artista Joan Fontcuberta ha reflexionado desde una perspectiva ecléctica sobre la naturaleza de la imagen fotográfica. A través de un uso elocuente de las tecnologías de la imagen, el fotógrafo ha potenciado en muchos de sus trabajos el carácter objetivador de la fotografía a través de la capacidad legitimadora del propio medio, exigiendo al espectador una observación crítica y desconfiada hacia las imágenes. En el presente texto realizamos un estudio parcial del corpus artístico de Fontcuberta estructurado por medio de cuatro estrategias procedimentales que hemos definido y desarrollado. Estas estrategias abarcan desde trabajos realizados por medio de técnicas más tradicionales, hasta otros trabajos ejecutados con procedimientos más actuales, pero donde, en cualquier caso, se pone en valor el potencial técnico y discursivo del autor. Como parte de la última estrategia, donde se estudian algunos proyectos en los que se altera el uso preconcebido de algunos programas informáticos para la creación de imágenes, hemos realizado un estudio de caso de la obra Prosopagnosia, donde se utiliza un sistema algorítmico para la producción de imágenes sintéticas evidenciando de nuevo el carácter ficticio de la fotografía.
Impact of Family Control and Influence on Financing Decisions of Family Firms: A Case of Pakistani Family Firms in the Prospective of Socioemotional Wealth
Authors: Khan Shoaib Masood , Akhtar Shahzad
Published: March 2023

This study focuses on the financing choices of family firms under the umbrella of Socioemotional wealth. It investigates how a family firm makes its financing policy based on persuasion of a non-financial goal which is the need to maintain family control over the business. In the context of non-financial Pakistani listed firms in the Pakistan Stock Exchange, with data range starts from 2009 to 2020. Our results show that family firms with a high need to maintain their family control over the business have high debt levels. Similarly having family representation on the board shows a positive relationship with debt financing. We also conclude that having a family CEO is also linked with the use of extensive debt. Our findings are consistent with the view that Socioemotional wealth is an important determinant of making important financial decisions.

Covering the Left: Abante Tonite’s Coverage on the “Enemies of the State”
Authors: dela Cruz Ma. Irish
Published: March 2023

This content analysis explores the reporting of Abante Tonite on issues concerning the “leftist” movement, i.e., the Communist Party of the Philippines (CCP) and its alleged front organizations tagged by the government as “enemies of the state.” Particularly, this study analyzes the treatment of events, topics, individuals, and groups that were covered by the tabloid from July 2005 to August 2006 (N=43 articles). Using framing analysis, findings show a stereotyped treatment of actors and topics: negative for the leftist movement and positive for the government. The negative treatment of the leftist movement translates into two primary modes of representation: first, as an organization to be feared because of its capability to wreak havoc among soldiers and civilians; and second, as a weak, disintegrating organization slowly losing its members in encounters with the military either by death, injury, capture, or surrender.
Di BOBOto!: First-Time Voters’ Perception on Philippine Elections
Authors: Capadocia Cherine , Gayosa Aleth , Rivera Ma. Aissa Francesca , Roselo Aleli , Uichanco Marian Rose
Published: March 2023

The right of suffrage is considered a vital exercise of democracy, yet not much is known about how voters themselves regard elections. This study addresses this research gap by providing information on how the Filipino youth first-time voters view national elections. It aims to determine the youth’s levels of awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning national elections. It also looks into the communication dimension of the youth’s views about the elections. To achieve the study objectives, a survey was conducted among purposively selected students from various universities in Metro Manila. Findings show that television and personal networks are the respondents’ primary sources of election-related information, and that these information sources appear to have greatly influenced their level of knowledge and attitude about elections in the country. Findings further reveal that the respondents did not know much about the Philippine electoral process and they had negative perceptions about elections in the country. They felt that they play a significant role in the elections; however, many of them were not registered voters.
The Fantasy-Adventure Films as Contemporary Epics, 2000-2007
Authors: Campos Patrick
Published: March 2023

This paper aims to compare the narrative form and themes of folk epic (as typified by Labaw Donggon) and the contemporary fantasy-adventure film (as typified by the four Enteng Kabisote films). Labaw Donggon, an epic from the Sulod society of Central Panay, possesses all the universally decipherable elements of the epic narrative. On the other hand, the Enteng Kabisote films’ narrative forms, themes, social contexts, and function may be generalized as applicable to most, if not all, of the other fantasy-adventure films at the turn of the century. The four films are found to be episodic like ethnoepics as they have loosely connected episodes, adventurous detours, and skirmishes forestalling a final battle. The contemporary fantasy-adventure film is also found to be cyclical with its repetitions and recreations, novel retellings, sequels and prequels, and the addition of new episodes and characters. As typified by the Enteng Kabisote films, the contemporary fantasy-adventure film perpetuates a narrow, even muddled, sense of nation. It has shrunk its vision into the comfort zone of the family, insecure about and unsure of the individual’s and the nation’s abilities to aspire for heroism and expansion. Instead of expanding the oft-repeated centrality of the family in the ethnoepic, the fantasy-adventure film has remained fixated on this theme and has neither widened, deepened, nor problematized it.
Anito: Paglalaro sa Lunan ng mga Arketipo at Laylayan
Authors: Pamintuan Jema
Published: March 2023

Digital gaming is one of the emerging phenomena in global media and culture industries. At present, Anito Entertainment is an organization considered as the first game developer in the Philippines for its role-playing game Anito: Defend a Land Enraged. The latter contains a discourse on some aspects of the Philippine historical narrative in the 16th century, including a presentation and understanding of the gamescape and the archetypal characters in Philippine literature. Since the game is interactive, the unfolding and ending of the narrative depends of the decisions made by the gamer, i.e., the character that is within the game and who handles the game’s control buttons. This study analyzes how the virtual character and the actual gamer struggle within the complexities of the period of colonialism, while addressing selected issues pertaining to marginalization in the present, post-colonial time.
Learning from the News: Towards a Comprehensive Theory of Motivational Effects
Authors: David Clarissa , Atun Jenna Mae
Published: March 2023

While many research studies on political knowledge investigate how motivation can influence learning, the theoretical process of influence is yet to be mapped out. There are identifiable gaps in the existing literature, such as the conceptualization of motives, relationships between different motives, and their impacts on news seeking and learning outcomes. The author describes a process of learning comprised of distinct steps from exposure to knowledge, with each step viewed as a behavioral decision determined by the individual-level factors opportunity, ability, and motivation. Findings in the literature on knowledge gaps, uses and gratifications, and the information processing approach to learning are all brought to bear in developing an organized theory of motivational effects. A model that traces the influence of motivations on each step of the learning process is proposed. Such a model allows for a systematic examination of the many direct and indirect effects that motivations have on learning of political information from the news. Implications for Philippine communication research in the area of political learning from the news are discussed.
The Iconic Images of the Philippine Press Identification Card in Metro Manila
Authors: Palileo-Evidente Shirley
Published: March 2023

The media have been bestowed power that earns them either public trust or the ire of the government. Considered the fourth estate, they have been integrated into the institutional system of checks and balances. The press ID represents the people behind the media and their power. This study then identifies the iconic images of the Press ID and the factors, circumstances, or situations that have led to the formation of that iconic image. Conducted in Metro Manila, research findings show that the Press ID has served purposes other than identification. These other uses and attributes were categorized into prestige, material or economic, safety and convenience, and functional purposes.
Images of the Mother in Lino Brocka Films: 1970-1991
Authors: Gutierrez Jose III
Published: March 2023

The images of the mothers in the films of Lino Brocka – a veritable auteur who used film as his medium in expressing his insights through his works from 1970 to 1991 – gravitate towards two clusters of images: 1) the mothers who struggle within the confines of their role; and 2) the mothers who question their role and affirm themselves as persons. Brocka’s films from 1970 to 1982 generally belong to the first cluster where the following images are identified: 1) the “ideal” mother; 2) mother as victim; and 3) the controlling matriarch. Brocka’s films from 1984 to 1991 generally belong to the second cluster where the following images are fleshed out: 1) mother as transgressor of patriarchy, and 2) mother as aggressor of patriarchy.
The Experience of the Past in the Visual Nostalgia: An Analysis of Romantic Films Set in Baguio
Authors: Cruz Pamela Marie
Published: March 2023

Popular romantic films create a dominant nostalgia for the spaces of Baguio (e.g, pine trees, vast mountains, Session Road, Burnham Park, Burnham Lake), a convention that continues to capture the consciousness of the masses. These films craft their own definition and narrative of the city. Stories of rest and recreation, escapism, and romance are spun, and are closely intertwined with Baguio's past: of how the Americans had transformed the mountaintop city into what they envisioned as an ideal, idyllic vacation place for the elite. But as a consequence of this "reality" portrayed in popular cinema, contemporary sociological, cultural, and ecological issues and problems that Baguio faces are pushed aside. Indeed, in these films resonates the power of American colonialism.

Patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) treated with Radiofrequency Ablation (RFCA) are still at risk of recurrence and hospitalization, which exacerbates patients psychological distress, par- ticularly in women patients. Good postoperative self-management can both promote early recovery from AF and reduce long-term recurrence, both of which are important for long-term health status and quality of life. Positive psychological capital improves patients’ health behaviors, however, the effect of psychological capital on health behaviors has not been studied in women with AF.

En esta investigación se evaluó la diversidad de especies nativas e introducidas en el río Churute, el cual atraviesa la Reserva Ecológica Manglares Churute, en Ecuador, utilizando para ello un enfoque empírico-inductivo, con diseño no experimental de corte transversal-explicativo. Las capturas se realizaron con atarraya, arte de pesca tradicional en época de sequía, a lo largo del río Churute. Se muestrearon 25 sitios, considerando 33 lances como esfuerzo de pesca por cada sitio, y los peces capturados fueron clasificados taxonómicamente, contados y pesados para estimar los índices ecológicos de riqueza, abundancia, diversidad y dominancia en el área de estudio. Se identificaron 20 especies ícticas (19 nativas y 1 introducida) distribuidas en 18 géneros de 13 familias y 5 órdenes; las familias con mayor número de especies fue CICHLIDAE con cuatro especies, BRYCONIDAE, CHARACIDAE, ELEOTRIDAE y HEPTAPTERIDAE con dos especies cada una. De las especies identificadas, siete calificaron como importantes, sobresaliendo la tilapia, pez introducido con un Índice de Importancia Relativa (IRI) de 40.075,58, dominando en los sitios de muestreo en un 61,13 %. Se concluye que la tilapia es una especie dominante, con tasas de reproducción superiores al de las especies nativas presentes en el río Churute, por lo que su presencia constituye una seria amenaza a la biodiversidad de este ecosistema.
The Role Of Tonsils In The Development Of Covid-19 Pneumonia
Authors: BULUT ÇÖBDEN Serap , ÖZCAN İbrahim , ALKAYA Mustafa , KAYA Altan , KANTEKİN Yunus
Published: March 2023

Background and Aim: Despite extensive research, the physiopathology and clinical course of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is still not fully understood. It is not known why some COVID-19 patients develop pneumonia while others are asymptomatic or have only mild upper respiratory tract symptoms. The tonsils are an element of the immune system that provide first-line defense against microorganisms entering the body via the upper respiratory tract. This study aimed to evaluate the role of tonsils in preventing the development of COVID-19 pneumonia.

Materials and Methods: The study included 198 patients aged 20-40 years who presented to the pandemic outpatient clinic, had confirmed COVID-19 infection, and had no comorbidities. The relationship between lung involvement and history of tonsillectomy was analyzed.

Results: Of the 198 patients in the study, 108 were male, 90 were female, and the mean age was 34.7 years. Eighty-three (41.9%) of the patients did not have lung involvement and 115 (58.1%) had lung involvement. Twelve (10.4%) of the patients with lung involvement and 3 (3.6%) of the patients without lung involvement had a history of tonsillectomy. The prevalence of pneumonia did not differ statistically between the groups (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Although there was no statistically significant relationship between COVID-19 pneumonia and tonsillectomy in this study, we observed that pneumonia developed in 80% of the 15 patients who underwent tonsillectomy. This suggests that greater caution in terms of lung involvement may be warranted for tonsillectomized patients with COVID-19.

Development of FRAMES (Fatigue Risk Assessment with Medical Advise) Application: Self-Assessment Application for Pilots
Authors: Wibawanti Retno , Agustina Amilya , Werdhani Retno Asti
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Pilots have job characteristics that are at risk of causing fatigue. Since fatigue is not a disease, it is important to manage the risk factors. We developed a self-assessment application to manage the fatigue risk for pilots, including physical activity and sleeping difficulties. This application aims to increase pilots’ awareness as one of the health maintenance measures.Methods: The application was developed in collaboration with Garuda Indonesia Training Centre (GITC) to ensure suitable educational content for pilots. The users were asked to fill in data inquiring about their flight characteristics, the Checklist Individual Strength-20 for fatigue screening, General Physical Activity Questionnaire for physical activity, and Jenkins Sleep Scale for sleep difficulties. Afterward, a recommendation will be given based on the received input.Results: The application was able to screen fatigue risks, physical activities, and sleeping difficulties, and provide recommendations based on the questionnaire that was filled in, all adjusted to the user’s work characteristics. The finalized version was then available for download as an Android-based application for the pilots in GITC.Conclusion: The FRAMES is an Android-based self-assessment application for pilots. With the use of this application, hopefully, fatigue can be detected early in pilots, hence counteract measures may be implemented sooner to mitigate fatigue.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that infects white blood cells and reduces human immunity. Meanwhile, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a group of symptoms caused by HIV infection that result in decreased immunity. According to UNAIDS data, the estimated number of people living with HIV in Indonesia (2021) reach 540,000, with approximately 200,000 being women and girls, and 19,000 being children. In Indonesia, the HIV prevalence rate is 0.3%, with a total of 27,000 new infections each year. According to more complete data, up to 26,000 people living with HIV died of AIDS. When compared to ten years ago, the percentage of new infections decreased by 47%, but the number of AIDS-related deaths increased by 88%. Overall, the number of HIV cases in Indonesia fluctuates, but on an upward trend. Nonetheless, the Indonesian government is committed to helping the world achieve its goal of ending AIDS by 2030.

In the recent years, the focus of neuroprotection research has been gradually shifting towards the research of endogenous substances and their synthetic analogs. According to the available evidence, thyroid hormones (THs) and their metabolites are potentially effective neuroprotectors in brain ischemia.
Objective. To identify and classify TH neuroprotective effects in acute brain ischemia by analyzing contemporary data.
We studied and analyzed publications indexed in РubMed, SciElo, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Biomedical Data Journal, and eLibrary.
The molecular basis of TH effects includes genomic and non-genomic mechanisms aimed at mitochondrial activity regulation, neuro- and angiogenesis, axonal transport, cytoskeleton maintenance, and impact on ion channels as well as activation and expression of specific proteins. TH effects on the central nervous system can be classified into following clusters: influence on neuronal and glial metabolism, apoptosis modulation, neuroplasticity and angiogenesis, impact on hemostasis, and local and systemic immune response.
Conclusion. THs are multimodal and selective regulators of cellular processes that affect neuroplasticity and neuro-reintegration both in the brain ischemic zone and beyond it. Therefore, a promising research can cover THs and and their metabolites as cerebral cytoprotectors to improve functional outcomes of ischemic strokes.

FOCUSING ON PRIORITIZING RESEARCH AND APPLICATION TO CONTRIBUTE TO SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER IN ETHNIC MINORITY AND MOUNTAINOUS IN THE CURRENT PERIOD
Authors: Hoàng Đức Thành , Dung  , Chien
Published: March 2023

In the context of the fourth scientific and technological revolution and the trend of deep international integration, research, transfer, and application of science and technology has become a mandatory requirement for each country as well as each field, including science and technology transfer in ethnic minority and mountainous areas. Therefore, in the past years, the Party, State, National Assembly and Government have determined that science and technology transfer plays a very important role in the process of socio-economic development, hunger eradication and poverty reduction and improve the lives of ethnic minorities in extremely difficult areas, remote, border and island areas. Up to now, our Party and State have promulgated many undertakings and policies on science and technology transfer for ethnic minorities and mountainous areas in general and in extremely difficult, remote and isolated areas, borders and islands in particular, of which the important premise is Resolution No. 22/NQ-TW dated November 27th, 1989 of the Politburo on a number of major undertakings and policies “to accelerate scientific and technological progress in mountainous areas” and Decision No. 72/HDBT dated March 13th, 1990 of the Council of Ministers on a number of specific guidelines and policies on socio-economic development in mountainous areas.

Introduction: There is limited information of the contrast-associated acute kidney (CA-AKI) prevention in critically-ill patients. Applying the evidence for CA-AKI prevention from non-critically-ill to critically-ill patients could potentially invalidate the data. Therefore, we find it necessary to assess the benefits of preventive strategy by summarizing existing evidence from clinical trials in this systematic review and network meta‐analysis (NMA).

Methods and analysis: We will search electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Scopus from their inception dates with no language restrictions. Both randomized trials and non-randomized studies using validated measurement tools that investigated the benefits of pharmacological interventions among patients who undergo contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT). The primary outcome is the incidence of CA-AKI in medical and surgical critically-ill patients who undergo CECT after receiving medication. The risk of bias assessment and analysis of the strength of the evidence will be performed independently by a pair of reviewers. A two-step approach of traditional pairwise and NMA will be performed. Based on a random-effects model, standardized weighted mean differences and ORs with corresponding 95% CIs will be pooled as effect estimates for the continuous and categorical endpoints, respectively. Statistical and methodological heterogeneities will be assessed. Preplanned subgroup analyses and univariate meta-regression will be conducted to quantify the potential sources of heterogeneity. Evidence-based synthesis will be based on the magnitudes of effect size, evidence certainty and the surface under the cumulative ranking curve values.

 
Ethics: Ethical approval is not required because this study is based on existing published data.

The Broken Plural in Arabic
Authors: Alsoudi Omar Mohammad Abed Alwali
Published: March 2023

This paper aims to examine types and patterns of the broken plural in Arabic and the impact of phonological rules and ascending and descending diphthongs on the formation of the broken plural in Arabic. It also highlights particular phonological processes such as assimilation, dissimilation, and ascending and descending diphthongs so that it appears that these diphthongs have been phonetically changed by virtue of sound elision, sometimes accomplished by compensation (sound replacement) and sometimes without compensation; on the other hand, the diphthong may remain unchanged since it maintains the clarity and easiness of the linguistic form. Based on what I have so far studied in Arabic grammar, ancient Arabic grammarians explained these patterns alongside the linguistic changes that occur whilst contemporary Arabic scholars used creative and innovative ways to explain them more precisely and accurately. It could be argued that phonetic transcription has played a key role in that. Therefore, this paper is an academic endeavor to study the linguistic aspects of the broken plural in Arabic, with a particular focus on their syntax, phonetics and phonology.
