In Indonesia, PFA (Psychological First Aid) services are primarily employed in distress situations; however, a relatively small number are used in crisis situations, mainly in academic settings through the use of digital media, or what is commonly referred to as PFA online services. Teman Sehati, a PFA online service provided by UIN Prof. K.H. Saifuddin Zuhri Purwokerto, will be addressed in this study. In order to encourage the use of mental health services in academic settings, this research attempts to present an overview of PFA online services. The CIPPO approach (Context Evaluation, Input Evaluation, Process Evaluation, Product Evaluation, and Outcome) was used in the research to apply qualitative evaluation. Research collection methods include documenting, interviewing, and observation. Sorting, classifying, summarising, indexing, and researching primary and secondary sources are all methods used in data analysis. The results of the study indicate that since rooms, networks, and electronic devices serve as the main method of maintaining the service, it is necessary to increase the availability of reliable internet. Every semester, increasing numbers of individuals are in need of this service due to a variety of issues, including physiologic disorders, bullying, financial difficulties, sexual harassment, work-related issues, psychological disorders, academic difficulties, romantic issues, family issues, and personal issues. The online PFA service at UIN Prof. K.H. Saifuddin Zuhri Purwokerto is deemed highly helpful by 92% of service users. Online PFA services can aid in treating students' mental health, despite certain technological challenges; for this reason, it is crucial to implement them in the academic setting.

Published: February 2024

Soccer academies are vital in identifying and nurturing young talent for senior-level competition. Relative age and biological maturation influence player performance and selection in youth soccer. While often grouped by Chronological Age (CA), variations within a CA category can lead to differences in maturation, with the Relative Age Effect (RAE) favoring older players' performance. Maturation, marked by physical and cognitive development, can significantly affect performance. Therefore, this study examined the interrelations between relative age, maturation status, and bio-banding in youth soccer players in U10 to U15 age cohorts. This study examined 60 male soccer players aged 10 to 15 (mean ± standard deviation; age: 12.6 ± 1.7 years; Weight: 49 ± 15.1 kg; Height: 157.2 ± 12.8 cm; sitting height: 69.7 ± 6.7 cm), assessing anthropometric measurements, maturation status, and physical performance. Players' physical attributes and performance levels were influenced by their maturation status rather than their relative age, with maturation-related disparities in strength and jump performance observed among age groups. Bio-banding, a strategy categorizing players by maturation status, created more equitable groups with homogenized physical attributes and performance. Early-maturing players showed advantages in physical attributes, while late-maturing players displayed enhanced leadership and self-confidence. Understanding maturation status is crucial for accurate performance assessment and equitable player grouping in youth soccer. This study underscores the significance of considering maturation status as a distinct determinant in evaluating young soccer players.
Tales from the end of the world: three decades of paleogenetic research in Patagonia
Authors: de la Fuente Castro Constanza , Motti Josefina , Arencibia Valeria , Luisi Pierre
Published: February 2024

Patagonia is a region that has fascinated researchers for centuries considering the evidence of early human occupation, its geographical and environmental variability, and the diversity of human adaptations. From an archaeological and bioanthropological perspective, the region has been the focus of many studies addressing a wide range of questions, from a broad scale, such as the peopling of the Americas, to a local scale concerning the diversity and interactions of human populations. For three decades, paleogenetic studies have contributed to the understanding of population dynamics in the region: first using uniparental markers, particularly mitochondrial DNA in a much larger proportion; and more recently including genome-wide data for ancient individuals. In this work, we revise these studies considering three themes: (1) the first stages of migration into the region; (2) the diversification and interactions of populations during the Middle and Late Holocene; and (3) the link between present-day and ancient populations. While genetic evidence from the early peopling stages is either absent or scarce, making it difficult to evaluate the relative contributions of early South American lineages in the first Patagonian populations, evidence from later periods (from Middle Holocene onwards) is consistent with a single migration wave with founding events and genetic drift acting on small groups during their migration southward. After the initial occupation, the population dynamics seem to have been characterised by the relative isolation of different groups, leading to their differentiation. While there is evidence of some degree of gene flow between groups, the genetic structure in the region is generally associated with geography, subsistence systems, and languages. After European contact, paleogenetic data supports a relative genetic continuity in the region. We finish this review with a fourth theme in which we reflect on the current state and direction of the field in Patagonia, highlighting research lines that will benefit from the implementation of state-of-the-art paleogenomic approach, as well as legal and ethical considerations that would allow to move forward into a more collaborative and inclusive field.

METHODOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENT OF THE APPLICATION OF APOMIXIS IN TOBACCO BREEDING FOR CONFIRMATION OF HETEROSIS
Authors: Savina E. , Matiega O. , Gludzik M. , Sheydik K.
Published: February 2024

The source material for the research was collection samples bred by breeders of the station and introduced from European countries, registered in the National Genetic Fund of Ukraine. Hybridization was performed according to the diallel scheme and F1 seeds from 36 hybrid combinations were obtained. The best hybrids with a high effect of heterosis are transferred to the apomictic basis in order to consolidate heterosis. The obtained apomicts were sown and 7 with the best indicators were selected according to the set of traits and checked for the presence of apomictic properties for sowing in the future to obtain hypomites-apomict with high productivity. The best hybrid combinations were selected by quantitative characteristics, which showed a positive dominance and are of practical interest for the consolidation of heterosis through apomixis and further testing in a competitive nursery. As a result of a detailed analysis of the specific splitting of forms in A1, it should be noted that each hybrid combination has its own specific splitting and there is no pattern of manifestation, as observed in the second hybrid generation. Criteria for selection of possible apomites according to the ability to form plants in A1 with maternal traits in about 25% of plants and selection of seeds for further sowing only after castration of flowers and removal to the isolator. In the second generation A2 there is a high level of constancy, which allows the selection of plants without castration, but the selection under the insulator. The main marker for the identification of genotypes with elements of apomixis are morphological features of the maternal type, which requires planting next to hybrid seeds of the first generation. In the breeding practice of tobacco to improve the source material and consolidate heterosis through apomixis should use an improved method of evaluation, which consists in collecting seeds for further study of A1 through castration of flowers and growing seeds under the insulator, selection of A1 plants by maternal type, which requires placement next to the plant F1 and formation of seed stock for re-seeding.

A review of whiteflies as vectors of plant viruses and a molecular analysis of vector transmission of cowpea mild mottle virus
Authors:   , Mattos Marcos Vinícius Vieira
Published: February 2024

The whitefly is one of the main vectors of plant viruses. With its status as a pest, this insect causesdamage to crops such as soybeans, beans, cotton and tomatoes. Research efforts have focussed on control measures, vector biology and the interactions of these insects with the viruses they carry. Regarding the relationships established during viral transmission, many studies have shown how these interactions occur at the molecular level. At the same time, much information still needs to be elucidated. In chapter 1 of this study we review the virus families known so far to be transmitted by the whitefly, the mechanisms involved in the interaction, and we raise hypotheses that may explain some points in the transmission process. In Chapter 2, we experimentally assessed whether a cysteine-rich protein (CRP) encoded by Cowpea mild mottle virus (CPMMV) can act as an helper component of capsid protein (CP) in the process of viral transmission by the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci. We found evidence that this does not occur and we conclude that CRP probably does not participate in the transmission process and CP probably acts alone. With this study we hope to contribute with more information to the knowledge of the interactions between viruses and their vectors. Keywords: Whitefly. Aphid. Disease vectors - Control. Plant virus.

Since 1912, cosmologists strongly believe in the currently accepted definition of cosmic red shift as - ratio of increase in wavelength to the laboratory wavelength of photon. We would like to emphasize the point that, this definition is absolutely wrong with reference to photon energy. Clearly speaking, true cosmic red shift must be defined as the ratio of loss in energy of photon to the energy of photon at laboratory. In terms of wavelength, photon red shift must be defined as the ratio of increase in wavelength to the observed wavelength of photon. We have published this definition in our recent publications and sincerely appeal the science community and cosmologists to review the basics of Lambda cosmology, cosmic acceleration and dark energy in an unbiased approach. Regarding Tolman Surface Brightness test, we sincerely appeal the cosmologists to review and reanalyze the observations and calculations as per the corrected cosmic redshift definition with reference to cosmic expansion and cosmic rotation. Here we would like to emphasize the point that, (1+z) should be replaced by (1+znew). Upper limit of (1+znew) is 2 and upper limit of (1+znew)4 is 16

Las reconfiguraciones geopolíticas impulsadas por Estados Unidos, China y Rusia en el siglo XXI plantean retos para la región de América Latina. China y Rusia han desplegado estrategias de poder inteligente en su política exterior hacia la región para disputar la influencia de Estados Unidos. Moscú ha buscado establecer alianzas estratégicas con varios países latinoamericanos, especialmente con aquellos que han sido históricamente críticos de los Estados Unidos, por su parte, Beijing ha desplegado un poder inteligente en su política exterior hacia América Latina al enfocarse en la cooperación económica y el fortalecimiento de los lazos políticos y culturales. América Latina en el contexto de la competencia entre las grandes potencias, expresada en el conflicto comercial entre Estados Unidos y China y en las tensiones causadas por la guerra en Ucrania entre Rusia y la alianza noratlántica de Occidente, ha adquirido mayor relevancia geopolítica y geoestratégica por lo que la búsqueda de la unidad y la integración se convierte en una prioridad para los gobiernos de la región en el sistema de relaciones globales.

For many years, the most common types of cancers that causes death has been lung and brain cancer. In addition, they are very hard to treat once they have been spread in the late stages. Early cancer detection and diagnosis have become crucial for providing immediate and efficient care to those who are afflicted with the disease. To predict cancer, this process needs cancer image classification which is a difficult task in the recent improvement of computer-based diagnostics. The main objective of this research is to classify Computed-Tomography (CT) images of the lungs and brain as cancerous or not. Therefore, this research shows the possibility of using a convolutional-neural-network (CNN) for lung and brain cancer detection through transfer learning (TL) without the difficulty of specifying features for image-classification. The proposed TCNN is trained and tested from scratch using two public and one private dataset using the TL technique. The suggested transfer learning-based model attained an accuracy of 92.81%, 97.21%, and 99.40% for Scratch TCNN Model, Pre-Trained TCNN Model, and Transfer Pre-Pre-Trained Model in that order. Hence, the proposed method gives high accuracy and decreases the time of diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of differentiation strategy on the financial performance of deposit-taking SACCOs in Kenya.

Methodology: A descriptive research cross-sectional approach was applied. The target population of this study was 174 DT-SACCOs in Kenya. The sample size was 227 respondents. Structured questionnaires were used to collect primary data from the selected respondents. Data collection method was by use of questionnaires. Quantitative data was analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Descriptive data was analyzed through measures of central tendency including means, standard deviations, frequencies and percentages. Data was coded and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v23.0). Results were then presented in tables, diagrams and charts.

Findings: The results showed that differentiation strategy had a positive and significant relationship to financial performance (r=0.590, p=0.000; R2=0.348, β=1.039). The findings emphasize the importance of implementing effective differentiation strategies to achieve better financial performance.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommended that deposit-taking SACCOs in Kenya prioritize the implementation of differentiation strategies to enhance their financial performance. By adopting these strategies, SACCOs can position themselves for improved financial success and sustained growth in the highly competitive financial services sector.  The study's findings contribute to academic theory by offering significant insights and presents practitioners in strategic management, policy makers, and the leadership in SACCOs with valuable recommendations. They are able to utilize the findings from the current study based on how to model dynamic capabilities that will ensure their knowledge and practicality of competitiveness is beefed up.
Putting It Off: Exploring the Prevalence of Procrastination of Assignments by the Aversive Nature of High School Courses and Student Impulsivity
Authors: Abrams Isaac
Published: February 2024

Procrastination is the act of delaying or postponing a task.  Currently, procrastination is a serious issue among high school students as it can cause detrimental effects to work habits and contribute to poor health among students.  After a review of scholarly sources within the body of knowledge surrounding procrastination, it was determined that procrastination is caused by two main factors: aversiveness and impulsivity.  While there have been some studies determining the effects of procrastination in high schools, there was a gap in the body of research regarding a cause for procrastination in high school students.  As a result, a study was conducted in which 253 students were selected through English classes in a New York high school to complete a survey which identified whether class aversiveness and student impulsivity had differing effects on student procrastination among three different course types: AP, Honors, and Regents.  Three scales were used in the survey to record different statistical measures: the S-UPPS-P Behavior Scale for student impulsivity, the Perceived Stress Scale for class aversiveness, and a Student Procrastination Scale created by the investigator to measure student procrastination.  After use of unpaired t-tests, it was determined that there is no direct correlation between class aversiveness and student impulsivity to procrastination.
