Osteoarticular diseases affect 10% of the world's adult population and 50% of women and commonly comprise inflammatory and degenerative disorders such as joint pain (arthropathies), muscle pain (myopathies), bone pain (osteopathies) and nerve pain (tendinopathies). The target of the present observational survey was to evaluate the effect of the topical administration of a medical device (Crackdol® Fast foam) in patients with osteoarticular disorders. Twenty-six patients with osteoarticular disorders in different body areas such as upper limbs (neck, shoulder, elbow, and wrist) and lower limbs (knee, sacrum, lumbar) were included in this retrospective survey. Results showed that Crackdol® Fast foam was very efficient in controlling the pain level with a fast (after 0.5 hours from the administration) and a prolonged effect (after 1 month from the administration) in both upper and lower limbs application. Crackdol® Fast foam revealed not only a good therapeutic efficacy but also no side effects, high patient compliance and adherence to the therapy representing a good candidate to be studied in more complete randomized and controlled clinical trials.
Analysis of the Effects of Green Technology on Economic Growth in the Environment of the Iraqi Economy

Authors: Makki Mohammed Rasool , Kadhim Ruaa Naseer
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of green technology on Iraq's economic development and to emphasise the vital role that agriculture and FDI play in the country's efforts to move towards a green economy and boost growth rates.    Value added in agriculture (percent annual increase) was shown to be positively correlated with economic expansion in Iraq. The importance of agriculture in attaining economic growth is bolstered when value added grows in the agricultural sector and feeds into GDP expansion.  Furthermore, it provided conclusive evidence that FDI contributes to economic growth in Iraq. High levels of foreign investment reduce GDP, thus it's important to think about the laws and processes that will encourage investments that will be good for the economy in the long run. The findings show a favourable correlation between green technology adoption, agricultural output, and economic development in Iraq. Sustainable growth and economic improvement are both possible if Iraq's agriculture industry adopts green technologies.   The report concludes that investment in green technologies and the sustainable growth of Iraq's agriculture industry should be encouraged. To help the agriculture industry and encourage long-term investments in green technologies, the government and interested parties should prioritise enacting the required legislation and laws. The process comes with its own set of environmental and economic issues, the identification of which is essential. Therefore, green economic transformation will help Iraq achieve sustainable development and long-term economic prosperity.

Authors: Lawal Nurudeen , Opeloyeru Olaide , Adegbola Omobolanle
Published: October 2023

This study focused on the long-run relationship among Nigeria’s public healthcare expenditure, life expectancy and economic growth. It adopts the use of time series between years 1981 and 2021. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method was used for estimating the relationship among the variables. From the empirical output, the variables exhibit long run relationship. A negative relationship was established between economic growth and government healthcare expenditure; and a positive and direct relationship between economic growth and life expectancy. In addition, both healthcare expenditure and life expectancy are significant variables in the Nigerian context. Therefore, it is suggested that government should commit more funds to the health sector, and proper health orientation should be given to the populace to heighten their knowledge about health. Alongside these, adoption of policies that ensures total provision of investment in healthcare infrastructures should be maintained.

Published: October 2023

The main purpose of this research is to evaluate microcredit program of selected leading NGOs in Bangladesh. Interviews were conducted with 1000 individuals from the chosen NGOs and MFIs that run microcredit programs in Bangladesh. According to data analysis, people who received loans between 21,000/- and 30,000/- taka had a 6.289-times greater chance of living in poverty than people who received loans between 5,000/- and 30,000/- taka. This loan amount, between 21,000/- and 30,000/- taka, is adequate for any small business. However, a loan of between 5,000/- and 10,000/- taka is too tiny for any type of sustainable business. This amount of financing just serves to boost family consumption and has no impact on the business' ability to change. Significant effects on reducing poverty are hard by many groups in the study. The likelihood of living in poverty rises by 14.3 percent and 21.0 percent, respectively, depending on whether the respondents are members of BURO and ASA. If the respondents in TMSS Bangladesh are worried, there is an enhanced possibility of up to 11.8 percent points in the absence of a change in poverty. The likelihood of respondents experiencing no change in their poverty position is significantly reduced if the respondent is from Great Britain (5.4 percent). The likelihood that respondents will marginally escape poverty rises if they are interested in BURO (8.2%), GB (2.5%), ASA (10.4%), and TMSS (0.2 percent). This survey report and analysis demonstrate that there has been no progress in the possibility of a good shift in poverty. Analyzing to a logit regression analysis, the size of the loan obtained, experience with eradicating poverty, and NGO participation are three key factors that influence how satisfied a user is with a microcredit program. The results demonstrate that many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have no discernible influence on reducing poverty. It demonstrates that the respondents' experiences of reducing poverty are the same. A respondent's level of poverty may be adjusted if they received enough credit, had good supervision, and used their credit productively. However, research shows that TMSS respondents are 10.92 times more likely than BRAC respondents to experience a reduction in poverty.

İnsan hakları sadece insan olmaktan kaynaklı olarak tüm insanların sahip olduğu hakları tanımlar. Dokunulmaz, devredilemez ve bölünemez olarak tanımlanan bu haklar tarihsel, toplumsal ve ekonomik konjonktüre göre günümüze dek gelişerek değişmiştir. Kültürün bir insan hakkı olarak tanınması 2. Kuşak İnsan Haklarıyla gündeme gelmiş ve 3. Kuşak İnsan Haklarıyla kurumsal bir kimliğe kavuşmuştur. Günümüzde kültürün insan haklarıyla ilişkisi çok daha açık bir biçimde tanımlanmaktadır. Hem ulusal hem de uluslararası düzlemde kültürün bir insan hakkı kabulü devletlere kültürel mirasın korunması, yurttaşların kültürel hayata katılımı ve kültürden her türlü istifadesinin mümkün kılınmasını güvence altına alma sorumluluğu yüklemektedir. Çağımızda birçok alanda olduğu gibi gelişen teknolojiler devletin bu sorumluluğunu yerine getirme, bireylerin dijital teknolojiler aracılığı ile kültürel hayata katkı sunma ve istifade etme hakkını kullanmasına aracılık etmektedir. Bu kapsamda Türkiye’de toplumsal kültürün geliştirilmesi ve kültürel mirasın korunmasına ilişkin en yetkili kurum olarak Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı’nın sorumluluklarının gerçekleştirilmesi noktasında çağın gerekliliklerine uygun şekilde yararlandığı dijital teknolojilerin panoramik bir görünümünü ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Özellikle 2000’li yıllardan itibaren bakanlık bünyesinde ve bağlı genel müdürlüklerinde hızlı bir şekilde kültürel mirasın korunması ve toplumsal kültürün geliştirilmesine yönelik dijital tabanlı teknolojilerden imkanlar ölçüsünde faydalanıldığı görülmüştür.

Metastability and polymorphism in dihydroxybenzenes – implications for thermal energy storage
Authors: Northam de la Fuente Tomas , Gaboardi Mattia , Ismail Kalith , Di Lisio Valerio , Cangialosi Daniele , Otero-de-la-Roza Alberto , Coto Pedro , Fernandez-Alonso Felix
Published: October 2023

State-of-the-art calorimetric techniques have been used to explore the effects of molecular isomerism on the phase behaviour of the three dihydroxybenzenes catechol, resorcinol, and hydroquinone. Within the broader remit of the search and rational design of phase-change materials for thermal-energy storage, these data reveal a surprisingly rich (and hitherto unappreciated) behaviour, ranging from an unavoidable propensity to crystallize (hydroquinone) to the emergence of both disordered and ordered metastable phases well below the range of stability of the normal liquid (resorcinol and catechol). Catechol exhibits the most complex thermophysical response, and ab-initio calculations evince a subtle interplay between intramolecular and intermolecular interactions, ultimately leading to the formation of new crystal phases.
Automatic potential energy surface exploration by accelerated reactive MD simulations: from pyrolysis to oxidation chemistry
Authors: Kopp Wassja , Huang Can , Zhao Yuqing , Yu Peiyang , Schmalz Felix , Krep Lukas , Leonhard Kai
Published: October 2023

Automatic potential energy surface (PES) exploration is important to better understand reaction mechanisms. Existing automatic PES mapping tools usually rely on predefined knowledge or on computationally expensive on-the-fly quantum-chemical calculations. In this work, we have developed a method for discovering novel reaction pathways and automatically mapping out the PES when only being given a starting species. We have therefore extended the reactive molecular dynamics simulation tool ChemTraYzer2.0 (Chemical Trajectory Analyzer, CTY) for this PES-mapping algorithm. To explore PESs with low-temperature reactions, we applied the acceleration method Collective Variable-driven Hyperdynamics (CVHD). This involved the development of tailored collective variable (CV) templates, which are discussed in this study. The PES mapping algorithm can generate new seed species, automatically start replica simulations for new pathways, and stop the simulation when a reaction has been found, reducing the computational cost of the algorithm. It is validated for known pathways in various pyrolysis and oxidation systems: hydrocarbon isomerization and dissociation (C4H7 and C8H7 PES), mostly dominant at high temperatures, low-temperature oxidation of n-butane (C4H9O2 PES) and cyclohexane (C6H11O2 PES). As a result, in addition to new pathways showing up in the simulations, common isomerization and dissociation pathways were found very fast: for example, 44 reactions of butenyl radicals including major isomerizations and decompositions within about 30 minutes wall time and low-temperature chemistry such as the internal H-shift of RO2 → QO2H within one day wall time. Furthermore, since CTY keeps track of all found geometries of the reactants, transition states, and products, PES mapping facilitates automated higher-level calculations without a priori knowledge. Lastly, we applied PES mapping to the oxidation of the recently proposed bio-hybrid fuel 1,3-dioxane and validated that the tool could be used to discover new reaction pathways of larger molecules that are of practical use.

Published: October 2023

A phototriggered conjugation reaction of an aminocyclobutenedione and a nucleophile was discovered. Upon irradiation of the materials with a blue LED, a butenolide derivative with substituents derived from the aminocyclobutenedione and the nucleo-phile was produced. Acidic nucleophiles were favorable for the reaction, and the reaction proceeded efficiently under organic solvent or organic solvent/aqueous buffer (1/1) conditions. This reaction would be useful for synthesis of unique butenolide derivatives and derivatization of acidic functional groups.
QMrebind: Incorporating quantum mechanical force field reparameterization at the ligand binding site for improved drug-target kinetics through milestoning simulations
Authors: Ojha Anupam Anand , Votapka Lane , Amaro Rommie
Published: October 2023

Understanding the interaction of ligands with biomolecules is an integral component of drug discovery and development. Challenges for computing thermodynamic and kinetic quantities for pharmaceutically relevant receptor-ligand complexes include the size and flexibility of the ligands, large-scale conformational rearrangements of the receptor, accurate force field parameters, simulation efficiency, and sufficient sampling associated with rare events. Our recently developed multiscale milestoning simulation approach, SEEKR2 (Simulation Enabled Estimation of Kinetic Rates v.2), has demonstrated success in predicting unbinding (Koff) kinetics by employing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in regions closer to the binding site. The MD region is further subdivided into smaller Voronoi tessellations to improve the simulation efficiency and parallelization. To date, all MD simulations are run using general molecular mechanics (MM) force fields. The accuracy of calculations can be further improved by incorporating quantum mechanical (QM) methods into generating system-specific force fields through reparameterizing ligand partial charges in the bound state. The force field reparameterization process modifies the potential energy landscape of the bimolecular complex, enabling a more accurate representation of the intermolecular interactions and polarization effects at the bound state. We present QMrebind (Quantum Mechanical force field reparameterization at the receptor-ligand binding site), an ORCA-based software that facilitates reparameterizing the potential energy function within the phase space representing the bound state in a receptor-ligand complex. With SEEKR2 Koff estimates and experimentally determined kinetic rates, we compare and interpret the receptor-ligand unbinding kinetics obtained using the newly reparameterized force fields for model host-guest systems and HSP90-inhibitor complexes. This method provides an opportunity to achieve higher accuracy in predicting receptor-ligand Koff rate constants.
Knot data analysis using multiscale Gauss link integral
Authors: Shen Li , Feng Hongsong , Li Fengling , Lei Fengchun , Wu Jie , Wei Guo-wei
Published: October 2023

In the past decade, topological data analysis (TDA) has emerged as a powerful approach in data science. The main technique in TDA is persistent homology, which tracks topological invariants over the filtration of point cloud data using algebraic topology. Although knot theory and related subjects are a focus of study in mathematics, their success in practical applications is quite limited due to the lack of localization and quantization. We address these challenges by introducing knot data analysis (KDA), a new paradigm that incorporating curve segmentation and multiscale analysis into the Gauss link integral. The resulting multiscale Gauss link integral (mGLI) recovers the global topological properties of knots and links at an appropriate scale but offers multiscale feature vectors to capture the local structures and connectivities of each curve segment at various scales. The proposed mGLI significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in benchmark protein flexibility analysis, including earlier persistent homology-based methods. Our approach enables the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and KDA for general curve-like objects and data.

The rapid integration of green, clean, and renewable technologies in a circular economy requires stable, abundant, and visible-light responsive absorbers. The ideal solar energy harness and conversion process uses a single material that fulfills photon absorption, exciton dissociation, carrier migration, and surface activity requirements. Heterojunctions enable multiple charge pathways, inhibiting recombination while promoting charge transfer across the heterointerface. This study pinpoints the synergy of combining titanium dioxide (TiO2) anatase with carbon nitride (CN) to create a hybrid TiO2(90%)-CN(10%) heterointerface through a one-pot thermal step. The composite outperforms TiO2 and CN references in four individual photo and photoelectrocatalytic reactions. In benzylamine photooxidation, the TiO2(90%)-CN(10%) composite achieved a four-fold increase with 51% conversion at 625 nm (red light). In photocatalytic hydrogen production, Pt/TiO2-CN outperformed references by 1.9-fold and 1.6-fold, yielding 319 and 148 μmol h-1 g-1 at 465 and 410 nm (blue and violet lights). Photoelectrochemical characterization using 410 nm filter performed 23% of the full-spectrum measurement. The composite displayed unprecedented TiO2 photosensitization under visible-light, attributed to improved charge transfer, prolonged lifetimes, and the multiple charge carrier pathways.

The method of determining destructive loads in case of short-term force effects on a perforated cylindrical shell is proposed. The problem of determining the shell motion is considered in the elastic-plastic formulation. It is supposed that when the equivalent loads are equal to or exceed the yield strength; plastic deformations begin to develop in the elastic body. The zone of plastic deformations is specified at each step of loading. The total deformation is presented as the sum of elastic and plastic components. Elastic deformations are expressed through elastic displacements with Cauchy ratios. Equilibrium conditions are applied in stresses. The elastic component results in to Lamé equations in displacements, unknown plastic stresses take the form of additional loads and are taken into account in the right part of the differential equations of motion. The theories of small elastic-plastic deformations and plastic flows are applied. The law of plastic flow is chosen, a multi-linear or bilinear tensile diagram characterizing the zone of plastic flow is given, and it is assumed that components of plastic deviator deformations are directly proportional to the components of the stress deviator. The finite element method is used to solve the system of differential equations of motion. Spatial 20-nodes finite elements with quadratic approximation of unknown motion inside elements are used. Studying the convergence of the method depending on the number of elements has been performed. The estimation of the moment of the beginning of destruction is obtained.

Common mathematical models of complex systems are not flexible, their creation is very resource-demanding and they are hard to work with. The numerous problems can arise during the process of building a mathematical model for complex systems. An area of knowledge, facts, and information could be structured badly or not structured at all. Part of the data might be missing or vice versa – we might have too much data available, which makes it difficult to find the necessary information. Therefore building a formal mathematical model, studying its dynamic for the relevant area of knowledge becomes a very hard or even almost impossible task. And that is why the new methods for such task are in much demand, namely, the methods of building descriptive mathematical models. The descriptive mathematical model serves as not a strict and formal model but a qualitative one. Such a qualitative model gives us a possibility to describe the character of the system, behavior of its internal components, and approximate rules of its dynamics. The qualitative model gives us a chance to deny the propositions, which do not fit the model directly at the first stage.

Thidambu nritham is a ritualistic dance performed in temples as a part of the annual worship and festivals of Kasaragod, Kannur and Kozhikode districts of Kerala state in India. The idol representing the image of the deity decorated in the temple is known as thidambu and the divine dance is performed by holding the thidambu on the head of the dancer. Thidambu nritham has been a part of social worship and group of families connected to temples have passed on the knowledge about celebration of this temple ritual through generations over 700 years. With the evolution of the nuclear family culture, the coordinated joint living has deteriorated. The shared cultural knowledge on thidambu nritham transmitted down from ancestors remains with the elderly members of the family and is gradually vanishing from the cultural domain of the region. The exploration studies and investigations were based on the experience of the first author as a practitioner of thidambu nritham at temples for nearly 50 years. The emphasis of the research involved discussion with members of the old generation, collection of materials, documentation and literature. It is evident that communication of customary understanding on the organization of thidambu nritham ritual, culture and tradition to the current generation will remain as a challenge; unless a new environment is created to transfer the knowledge in a periodic manner to the new generation.

The study determined the philosophical perspectives of educators who were teaching in higher education. Using survey research design, the structured questionnaire was administered to 30 purposely chosen faculty members in a State University in the Philippines. The researcher also conducted a follow-up interview with the College to ask for their personal viewpoints. Descriptive and thematic analyses were employed in analyzing the quantitative and qualitative data respectively. Findings showed that most of the educators adhere to the philosophical standpoint and practices of realism, essentialism and existentialism. Whereas, reconstructionism, pragmatism and constructivism appeared to be the least practiced among them. To conclude, the researcher recommended practical ways to promote the least-practiced philosophies by allowing the educators to explore on other teaching practices that will help address the needs of the students who are soon to be part of the workforce of the society.

Abstract. The portrayal of gender in advertising has a significant impact on societal gender norms and roles. This study analyses gender portrayals in TikTok advertisements for various products and services. A random sample of 1000 TikTok advertisements for food and beverages, fashion, technology, and finance in the English language was examined. The investigation assessed the gender, functions, and commercial language of characters. The study employed corpus and quantitative analysis. AntConc corpus analysis software was used to capture the data. The research discovered that Indonesian online marketing perpetuates gender stereotypes, specifically by depicting women as passive houseworkers. However, masculine characters were frequently portrayed as aggressive and dominant. The gender representation of products and services varied. Even in English advertisements, the findings shed light on the complexities of gender portrayal in Indonesian internet marketing. Advertisements narrated in English may reflect more egalitarian attitudes on the part of ad creators, but male and female roles continue to imply gender inequality. This highlights the importance of gender equality in online marketing awareness and partnership in Indonesia. To promote diversity and gender equality across all product categories, advertisers and corporations must analyze their promotional language thoroughly. This study also highlights the need for larger sample sizes and additional data in order to completely comprehend gender representation patterns in Indonesian online marketing. The study emphasizes the significance of combating gender stereotypes and promoting gender equality and diversity in global media. Keywords: English, Gender Representation, Online Advertisement, Corpus Analysis, Tiktok

Abstract. At elementary schools in Bali, there were English teachers who taught English but did not have an English education background, included pedagogical content knowledge. Therefore, the aim of this research are to describe how are the teacher’s perception and implementation of pedagogical content knowledge in English learning for young learners and to compare the result of the perception and implementation by elementary school English teacher who do not have English educational background in Denpasar. The subject of this research was three English teachers in three different elementary schools in Denpasar with a non-educational English background that were selected using a convenience sampling technique. Mix method which was dominant in using qualitative was the research design. Questionnaire, observation sheet, and interview guide was the instrument used in this study. The result of this study showed that teachers’ perception towards pedagogical content knowledge was high, but the implementation was very low. The comparison between teacher’s perception and implementation towards pedagogical content knowledge showed that the teacher’s had lack of consistency. Therefore, learning activities become less effective. In conclusion, the teachers need to improve the implementation of pedagogical content knowledge first before teaching in the class. Keywords: PCK, perception, implementation, young learners, English teacher

Abstract. This study utilizes Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to scrutinize the rampant use of hyperbole in Indonesian political cartoons. The objective is to assess how exaggerated language and visual representations are utilized to communicate political messages within a socio-cultural context. Through analyzing various cartoons from Kompas.id in Indonesia (period of publication: January 2019 up to July 2023), as the main data, this study exposes how hyperbolic elements are practical tools in shaping public opinion and impacting political discourse. The findings of this study offer vital insights into the influence of hyperbole in the cartoonistic medium. The strategic use of exaggerated language and visuals in cartoons influences the reception of political messages and shapes public discourse. It comprehensively comprehends how these visual narratives contribute to the dynamics of Indonesian politics. This study contributes to a broader discourse on political communication and media studies, providing an understanding of the complex interplay between language, imagery, and power within Indonesia’s sociopolitical landscape. Keywords: Hyperbole, Political cartoons, Indonesians, Discourse, Linguistic
MEANING-FOCUSED INSTRUCTION (MFI) VS. FORM-FOCUSED INSTRUCTION (FFI): METAREFLECTION ON BIPA GRAMMAR LEARNING

The purpose of this research is to explore the beliefs of BIPA (Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers) instructors and learners regarding grammar instruction. This research is a descriptive-quantitative study. The subjects consist of 10 BIPA instructors and 20 BIPA learners from UPT BIPA Muhammadiyah Malang University, CIS BIPA State University of Malang, IAIN Surakarta Language Center, and UPT BIPA State University of Medan. The research data include quantitative and qualitative data related to the beliefs that BIPA instructors and learners regarding the instructional framework for grammar learning. Data were collected through a questionnaire adapted from Burgess and Etherington (2022) and interviews. The data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis, referring to the beliefs of BIPA instructors and learners regarding grammar instruction. The data analysis results showed that there are differences in beliefs between BIPA learners and instructors regarding the instructional model for teaching Indonesian grammar. BIPA learners believe that Form-Focused Instruction (FFI) is more effective in mastering Indonesian grammar because it focuses on rules and is taught explicitly and deductively, allowing learners to directly understand the target language rules. In contrast, instructors believe that Meaning-Focused Instruction (MFI) is the most suitable instructional model for teaching Indonesian grammar because it focuses on communicative aspects and taught implicitly and inductively, enabling learners to better apply the target language rules. To accommodate these differences in beliefs, an instructional model is needed to accommodate it with the following stages: (1) exposure, (2) formulation of grammar rules, (3) reinforcement of grammar rules, and (4) the use of grammar rules.
