Authors: Juarez Dennis
Published: October 2023

Dynamic BH3 Profiling is used to test cellular proximity to apoptosis after treatment by exposure of in situ mitochondria with the BH3 domain of apoptotic proteins to induce mitochondrial cytochrome C release. Cytochrome C release is determined by flow cytometric measurement of cytochrome C fluorescence in cells and corresponds with the cellular proximity to mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, change of which is termed "priming".
A protocol for co-designing a school-based healthy eating intervention for adolescents in urban Bangladesh v1
Authors: Samad Nandeeta
Published: October 2023

Background Unhealthy eating among adolescents can lead to an increased prevalence of overweight and obesity. Urban Bangladesh has one of the highest rates of overweight and obesity in adolescents. To support these adolescents to eat healthily, bespoke interventions are needed that are co-designed with stakeholders, particularly with adolescents themselves. This study aims to co-design a school-based healthy eating intervention for adolescents in urban Bangladesh. Methods The study will employ concept mapping, a mixed-method approach to co-design a school-based healthy eating intervention for adolescents in urban Bangladesh. Two urban schools in the Dhaka Metropolitan City will be selected. Concept mapping workshops involving internal stakeholders (adolescents, parents, and teachers) as well as external stakeholders will be carried out. Trochim’s concept mapping methodology will be used which will entail generating statements on healthy eating intervention for adolescents in urban Bangladesh, sorting the statements, and rating them based on importance and feasibility scales. The data will be analysed using the R-CMap package implemented in R, utilising multivariate analyses. Concept maps, such as point maps, cluster maps, pattern matches, and bivariate plots, will be generated. The emergent maps will offer a visual and structured illustration of the groups' conceptions regarding healthy eating interventions based on their importance and feasibility. The stakeholders will be consulted once again to discuss the analysis findings and incorporate their feedback. Thus, by reaching a consensus, the intervention(s) deemed to be of the utmost importance and feasibility will be ultimately determined. Discussion This study involves a novel methodology to co-design a school-based healthy eating intervention for adolescents in urban Bangladesh. This participatory approach will allow the views of different stakeholders including adolescents to be taken into consideration and therefore, the intervention is likely to be acceptable and feasible to implement and improve healthy eating among adolescents in urban Bangladesh.

This paper aims to investigate the relationship and adaptation of mediatization of politics with populism into media content of seven (7) Sarawak newspapers, namely Borneo Post, New Sarawak Tribune, Utusan Sarawak, Utusan Borneo, Suara Sarawak, See Hua Daily, and Sin Chew Daily during Sarawak's election and the Midterm Transition of Malaysia Government 2020 by using quantitative content analysis. The Hoslti Inter-coder reliability and validity, Chi-Square, and One-way ANOVA tests were used on 695 news items. The results demonstrate that the Hoslti Inter-coder reliability and validity averaged 93%, above 70%. The Chi-Square test proved the news headline, government initiation, government response, and blame attribution (substance blame and non-policy blame) at the 0.001 level (2 tailed p<0.0005), and we rejected the null hypothesis. As for opposition response, and blame attribution (substance and non-policy blame), the p-value is more significance level (2-tailed p>0.0005), and we do not reject the null hypothesis. For mediatization of politics, only two (2) issues under media logic have p-values above .05, which are conflict (0.054) and opinionated and narrative news articles (0.143) with F values of 6.957 and 6.364. In political logic, result showed that p-value is less than .05 which there is a statistically significant difference in newspaper coverage. Anti-elitism (0.161) has a p-value more significant than .05, with F value is 1.797 in populism. People-centrism and mistrust of experts have p-values less than .05. This results in a statistically significant difference in newspaper coverage. Keywords: Mediatization of politics, populism, newspapers, content analysis, Sarawak.

Published: October 2023

Multiculturalism has always been an integral part and aspect of Malaysian culture, with its ethnic complexities. Multicultural identity is a significant predictive factor in assessing intercultural communication competence. Cultural competencies are essential in today’s businesses. This research is a systematic attempt to look into the antecedents of these constructs in Malaysian educational contexts given the growing importance of educators’ involvement in society's integration. Multicultural factors complement Intercultural communication skills, and this has an impact on the development and effectiveness of organisations/institutions as well as success and performance at work. These attributes are surprisingly underrated in their careers. The role of multicultural identity in determining intercultural communication competency is addressed using Amiot et al. (2007) and Barrett et al. (2013) indicators, respectively, using the structural equation modelling. Therefore, 350 respondents were chosen via the purposeful sampling method by employing a self-administered survey. The findings asserted the importance of cultural competency of educators, especially in settings where both students and faculty members come from different cultural backgrounds. The results supported the hypothesis that the endogenous construct of intercultural communication competence can be used to predict multicultural identity. Any multiracial organisation or institution can replicate the factors and instruments used in this study. By identifying the predicted factors, the research has significantly contributed to controlling and optimising the communication performance of ethnically diverse organisations. Keywords: Multiculturalism, identity, intercultural communication competence, ethnicity, integration.

Published: October 2023

The global effect of COVID-19 pandemic has continued for almost two consecutive years. Indonesia is also among the countries most impacted by the SARS-CoV2 virus under this period. Consequently, certain challenges tend to occur as regards public interest in accessing or deterring recent information associated with the disease. While there are increasing interests among media and communication scholars in understanding why people are avoiding news, little attention has been given to this audience behaviour during a global crisis like coronavirus outbreak. Using news avoidance as the main concept, this research is aimed at examining the critical factors that influence news avoidance in low-choice media environments, particularly in the Global South like Indonesia. Employing a face-to-face survey with 1,000 participants in Banten Province, Indonesia, this study found that younger people with lesser interest in COVID-19 related issues appear more prone to avoid this news, in addition to their level of news overload. Nevertheless, we also found that gender and the level of education factors did not influence whether people distanced themselves with negative coverage of coronavirus news in the country during the first year of the pandemic. Furthermore, the perception of information overload and minimal trust in news sources greatly contributed to the avoidance situation. Keywords: Audience, COVID-19, news avoidance, news trust, news consumption.

Published: October 2023

Kajian tentang aplikasi media dan komunikasi sebagai intervensi pencegahan dalam kempen kesedaran kesihatan menjadi punca kurangnya tahap kesedaran dalam diri masyarakat berkaitan dengan masalah diabetes. Salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan perkara ini berlaku adalah kerana kurangnya hebahan berkaitan bahaya diabetes kepada masyarakat umum. Sebagai contoh, poster yang dipaparkan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) juga mempunyai gaya penyampaian mesej yang kurang strategik untuk menarik minat orang ramai dalam melakukan perubahan tingkah laku kesihatan. Oleh itu, kajian ini telah mengenal pasti tahap keterlibatan khalayak dan strategi mesej kesihatan dalam kempen poster diabetes oleh KKM, serta menganalisis bentuk penggunaan imej dan strategi mesej kesihatan dalam kempen poster tersebut. Kajian ini bersandarkan kepada teori Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM) yang mempunyai empat elemen strategi mesej, iaitu “seruan untuk bertindak”, “mengajar tentang solusi”, “mengajar tentang risiko” dan “mengajar tentang solusi dan risiko”. Kaedah analisis kandungan kuantitatif dilakukan ke atas 83 poster kempen diabetes, dari tahun 2014 hingga 2022. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa tahap keterlibatan khalayak menunjukkan respon positif iaitu sebanyak 45,316 respons. Seterusnya, strategi mesej “mengajar tentang solusi” dan “mengajar tentang risiko” paling banyak digunakan dalam poster kempen diabetes, iaitu sebanyak 45.8% dan 38.6%. Strategi imej “mengajar tentang risiko” dan “mengajar tentang solusi” pula merupakan strategi imej yang mempunyai kekerapan tertinggi iaitu sebanyak 36.1% dan 28.9%. Hasil kajian ini boleh digunakan sebagai rujukan kepada penyelidik akan datang dan pihak kerajaan dalam mengubah tingkah laku masyarakat terhadap bahaya diabetes.

The world’s ocean covers 71% of Earth’s surface and is an integral part of the environment entrusted to humanity for its care. In this regard, one’s relationship with mother nature is to fulfill their life’s purpose in creating mutual harmony and balance among nature and all beings. At present, there have been significant destruction and damage upon the ocean and marine life caused by humans, thus affecting members of the community whose livelihood depend on it. Multitudes of media platforms currently provide channels to educate the public on the importance of the ocean ecosystem for future generations. Therefore, awareness campaigns on the said ocean conservation through media and communication are imperative to influence attitude and behaviours particularly among young audiences and motivate them to engage and participate in the discourse. This study explores the strategy behind the popular children’s animated series, Upin and Ipin in the introduction of ocean elements to inculcate appreciation for the environment. Using a qualitative content analysis, the animation series was analysed thematically and guided by the Nurul Akma Osman animation publishing model. The findings established that an awareness campaign on environmental conversation is present through the theme elements and topics, plots and scripts, characters and characteristics, and backgrounds that are features of animated series. The presentation based on these elements also reflects the efforts of the animated series to create a more organic approach on greater understanding of mother nature for young children.

The high incidence of maternal and neonatal mortality is a burden for governments globally, considering maternal and neonatal mortality are indicators of a nation's health. Various efforts have been attempted to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality, including reproductive health literacy, screening programs for pregnant women, improved pregnancy nutrition, and increased health professional accountability. This research aimed to establish the level of interpersonal communication ability required by midwives, pregnant women, and their families. A qualitative research approach with a case study method was used. This research involved six informants from three groups: program creators, program implementers, and program recipients. This research demonstrated that each communicator must enhance communication competency, such as effective listening, maintaining secrets, opening up, and empathizing, to establish successful interpersonal communication between midwives, pregnant women, and mothers' families. Empathy is essential for effective communication between midwives, expectant mothers, and their families. The intended empathy occurs when communicators have a mutual understanding of each other's positions and do not impose their will on each other, creating the impression that the other party is ignoring them. Efforts to save mothers and neonatal are a responsibility that must be carried out by all parties; this is not only the responsibility of the government, midwives, or mothers of neonatal, but collaboration that is carried out collaboratively is required so that efforts to save mothers and neonatal can have a positive impact and bring about significant change with shared benefits.

The development of media towards digitalization has an impact on every field, including the public communication messages conveyed by the government, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. It caused various responses from the public. The use of agenda-setting theory is considered quite adaptive in facing the changing times, and even in the digital era like today. This happened to the Indonesian leader who wrote a tweet about the New Normal in several fields as solutions facing the Covid-19 pandemic. Community responses related to Responses to Local Governments, Economic Issues, and Health Protocols were measured by big data analysis by using the IMM system for online media analysis and the ISA system for Twitter analysis. The results show that the intermedia agenda-setting or the transfer of issues from online media to Twitter happened on government public communication messages on the topic of New Normal and vice versa. However, discussions on Twitter about Local Governments led to discussions on online media and reports on Twitter about Economic Issues caused coverage on online media only. Those results had no responses from online media to Twitter. In addition, on the issue of Health Protocol, each agenda on online media and Twitter differed from one another.

The 2020 Surakarta City Regional Head Election was in the spotlight of Indonesian newspapers Solopos and Radar Solo ashe attraction of election is the presence of independent candidates, Bagyo Wahyono-FX Suparjo, who are competitors to the Gibran Rakabuming Raka-Teguh Prakosa pairing who were promoted to become a political party. With the difference in political caste between the two candidates, this study aims to dissect the practice of messages presented by two local newspapers in Surakarta, Solopos and Radar Solo towards the independent candidates. This study deployed Norman Fairclough's critical analysis method with approaches and paradigms of Vincent Mosco's political economy media theory. The results concluded Radar Solo tended to favor Gibran Rakabuming Raka in terms of choices and sentences presented to the audience. Meanwhile, Solopos chose a more neutral stance for both candidates. Messages presented by Solopos and Radar Solo need to provide a balanced space for the Bagyo Wahyono-FX Suparjo pairing. Various factors, such as the lack of optimal use of the Bagyo Wahyono-FX Suparjo pairing of media as a means of campaigning and the lack of a personal campaign agenda, influence this balance. Another significant finding is that there is a design and a more significant political interest behind one's appearance, which makes the dynamics of the Surakarta City Election run in vain. Keywords: Election, political communication, newspapers, candidate, discourse analysis.

The article examines specific aspects of Bekir Osmanov’s biography. His life is analyzed from before the start of World War II, including the politically motivated trial he faced. His partisan activities as a scout are highlighted, which led to German occupiers placing a bounty on Bekir Osmanov’s head. It is emphasized that despite his accomplishments, after May 1944, he, like other Crimean Tatars, found himself outside of Crimea. The plight of special settlers among the deported populations is underscored, which almost rendered their struggle for rights impossible. The influence of the fact that Crimean Tatars, unlike many other nations, were not allowed to return after the 20th Congress of the CPSU is noted as a factor that spurred the activation of the Crimean Tatar movement. Attention is drawn to how the principle of registration was deliberately used to complicate the possibility of legal return to Crimea. By analyzing KGB report notes, the article examines how activists organized the Crimean Tatar people for the fight and the role Bekir Osmanov played in this struggle. It is mentioned that initially, among a portion of Crimean Tatars, including B. Osmanov, there were hopes that agreements could be reached with Soviet leaders, and the idea emerged to write letters to the party leadership explaining the unjust situation of the Crimean Tatar people. Bekir Osmanov’s activities during the subsequent stage of the struggle for return are considered, when Crimean Tatar activists traveled to Crimea and southern regions of Ukraine to conduct organizational work in order to facilitate relocation. The circumstances under which Bekir Osmanov himself resettled in Crimea are clarified, and it is shown that he did not cease his activities until his death. It is demonstrated that through his life, Bekir Osmanov exemplified practical advocacy for his people’s rights and became one of the leading Crimean Tatar figures in the 20th century.

The background of this study is presented in three sections: a) Motivation Theories and their relationship with brain structures, b) Psychometric studies of Primary Personality Factors (PPF) and c) The role of brain structures in the production of prosodic aspects of language. Its objective is to evaluate the combination of parameters and acoustic characteristics found in the speech of normal individuals (n = 23), previously grouped according to a psychometric study of their personality in order to sort out Primary Personality Factors (PPF) and improve our knowledge on Human Temperaments. Acoustic parameters under study were: fundamental frequency (F0), total maximum energy and total duration, normal constituents of prosodic information. A three-syllable same phrase was analyzed in all the cases. The subject´s emissions were registered on a Sony (WM – 6 × 320) recorder and the phrase studied for each individual (N = 22) was processed with the Anagraf speech acoustic analysis program. The acoustic characteristics more useful to discriminate between PPF groups are: a) F0 rank and b) energy differences between stressed syllables and those not stressed. Acoustic studies can complement psychometric ones in order to differentiate each PPF group.

Bu çalışma, Kahramanmaraş’ta yetiştirilen keçilerin süt kompozisyonlarının keçi genotiplerine ve laktasyonun farklı zamanlarına göre değişimlerini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla; özel bir işletmede aynı bakım, besleme, idare şartları altında yetiştirilen 5 keçi ırkından (Şami, Halep, Saanen, Alpin ve Kıl keçi) her birinden 10 baş keçiden laktasyonun iki farklı döneminde süt numuneleri alınarak analiz edilmiştir. Süt örneklerinde somatik hücre sayısı (SHS), yağsız kuru madde (YKM), yağ, protein, laktoz, pH, yoğunluk ve donma noktası parametreleri ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen bulgulara göre; yukardaki ırk sırasıyla SHS değerleri 266 550, 65 900, 80 900, 547 050 ve 345 900 hücre ml-1; YKM değerleri %9.60, 9.94, 9.84, 9.12 ve 9.86; yağ oranları %3.60, 3.88, 5.01, 4.81 ve 6.45; protein oranları % 3.32, 3.17, 3.36, 3.21 ve 3.28; laktoz oranları %3.97, 3.83, 4.01, 3.97 ve 3.95; yoğunluk değerleri 1.031, 1.028, 1.032, 1.030 ve 1.033 olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu parametreler bakımından ırklar arasındaki farklılıklar istatistiki olarak anlamlı (P
Being a Realistic Master: Creating Props and Environments Design for AAA Games
Authors: Desamsetti Harshith , Lal Karu
Published: October 2023

To maximize the potential of computer games beyond entertainment, it is crucial to lower design and development costs and delegate production to domain specialists. While specialists may be interested in incorporating games, they often need more technical expertise to design or customize games for their requirements. To simplify game creation and improve user experience, we suggest defining games as a mixture of simpler games developed through combinatorial creativity. This method avoids the cognitive strain of learning a new design language. Along with speeding up game descriptions, designers might use a set of archetypical games to achieve their goals rather than starting from scratch. The design technique is enhanced by a game platform that provides authoring tools for exporting game designs to XML files and a game engine that automatically generates a 3D virtual world for play. This study explored how this approach allows designers to build games and evaluate their validity through play iteratively. Here, the combinatorial technique was assessed in two focus groups, demonstrating its viability and appeal among technical and non-technical users.

AMAÇ: Renal parankimal hastalıkların değerlendirilmesinde önemli bir tanı yöntemi olan böbrek biyopsilerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Bu çalışmada 333 çocuk olguya yapılan nativ böbrek biyopsisi değerlendirildi. Biyopsiler yarı otomatik ve ince (16-18 G) iğneler kullanılarak yapıldı.
BULGULAR: : En sık biyopsi endikasyonu proteinüri ve hematüri birlikteliği, en sık saptanan patolojik tanı ise minimal lezyon hastalığınında dahil olduğu normal biyopsi sonucu olarak saptandı. Biyopsi sırasında ya da sonrasında komplikasyon izlenmedi. Ortalama glomerül sayısı 27.1±17.8, yeterli sayıda glomerül saptanma oranı % 81.4, sınır yeterlilikte glomerül saptanma oranı % 8.4 ve yetersiz sayıda glomerül saptanma oranı % 10 olarak hesaplandı. Ultrasonografi olmaksızın yapılan biyopsiler ile karşılaştırıldığında, ultrasonografi eşliğinde biyopsi yapılan % 28.2 olguda ortalama glomerül sayısı daha yüksek ve yetersiz glomerül oranı daha düşük saptandı (31.5±18.1 vs 25.4±17.5 ; % 2.1 vs % 13.3).
SONUÇ: Böbrek biyopsisi çocuklarda USG eşliğinde veya USG olmaksızın, otomatik ve ince iğneler kullanılarak kolay uygulanabilen ve komplikasyon olasılığı düşük bir tanı yöntemidir. Ultrasonografi ile yapılan biyopsilerde yeterli glomerül elde edilme oranı daha yüksek olup olanaklı olduğu sürece ulatrasonografi eşliğinde biyopsi yapılmalıdır.
