Authors: Phares Sharon , Trusheim Mark , Emond Sarah K , Pearson Steven D
Published: November 2024

Gene therapies delivered through a single administration have revolutionized treatment possibilities for many patients living with serious or fatal conditions such as spinal muscular atrophy, hemophilia and sickle cell disease. However, shadowing the excitement about the transformational potential of many gene therapies has been widespread concern about the combination of uncertainty in the durability of their benefits over the long term and the short-term financial shock of high prices. As the healthcare payment ecosystem prepares for the growing number of gene therapies entering the market, three key interconnected challenges must be addressed: determining a fair price, managing clinical uncertainty and managing short-term budget impacts. This paper identifies specific policy reforms and market-based tools to help the US health system address these challenges to achieve more equitable and affordable access for patients to the growing number of gene therapies expected to be approved in the coming years.
ENERGY POTENTIAL OF FLUE GAS ALUMINUM SMELTING FURNACE SOLAR FUEL WITH THE ADDITION OF TEAK WOOD PELLETS
Authors: Sutoyo  , Shomad Muhammad , Sunaryo
Published: November 2024

The choice of fuel (fuel oil) whose price is higher needs a solution, especially for conventional foundry entrepreneurs. We need alternative energy that is cheap and easy to get. Wood pellets are an attempt to replace fuel with cheap fuel. As with previous studies, the main objective of this study was to measure the energy potential of the smelting furnace flue gas. The analysis results show that 365,413.3 kJ of heat energy is wasted from the total point required for smelting. The flames sometimes coming out of the furnace flue gas channel indicate that some heat energy is smashed into the free air. The exhaust gas temperature is measured at 500-550⁰C, and you can see flashes of fire coming out frequently. This indicates that there is energy potential for the working process of the pyrolysis reactor; apart from that, the moments of fire that often appear indicate an excess of the combustion process in the furnace. This study's results may differ from other smelting furnace constructions and conditions.

Authors: Khoeri Heri , Nugroho Panji , Pradana Roberto
Published: November 2024

The road management regulation aims to achieve reliable and excellent road services that prioritize the interests of the community by ensuring the functional and competitive performance of the roads, as well as community participation in road management in accordance with Republic of Indonesia Law No. 2 of 2022. As part of the community, when crossing the Tegineneng Bridge on the Tegineneng-Sp. Tanjung Karang road section in Lampung Province and feeling discomfort from the bridge vibrations, participating individuals conducted vibration measurements using 2 smartphones. The gyroscopes in the smartphones, packaged within a g-force application, were capable of recording real-time vibrations in a user-friendly manner, and the output data was compatible with existing modal analysis software. Subsequently, vibration data recordings using the SSI algorithm yielded dynamic parameters such as a natural frequency of 2.009Hz and a damping ratio of 7.927%. The frequency of 2.009Hz for a span of 60m is lower compared to bridges of the same span from the dynamic bridge test regression equation in Indonesia, which is 2.347Hz. Under these conditions, it is estimated that the Tegineneng Bridge experienced minor structural damage with a damage level of 14.1% and its capacity is lower by 28.2% than the empirical estimate. The damping ratio exceeding 5% is estimated to be due to excessive energy dissipation through cracks in the concrete or through defects in the connections between steel frame elements. It is recommended that relevant stakeholders conduct a detailed inspection of the bridge to ensure its safety and undertake necessary measures to guarantee the safety of its users.

Transformatives Lernen als Herausforderung für die Schulentwicklung.
Authors: Gebhard Ulrich , Textor Annette
Published: November 2024

In diesem Artikel skizzieren wir einige Herausforderungen für die Schulentwicklung, die sich angesichts des Bildungsauftrags für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung als Auftrag für die gesamte Schule („whole school approach“) ergeben. Seitdem der wissenschaftliche Beirat der Bundesregierung Globale Umweltveränderungen (WBGU 2011) die Notwendigkeit einer sogenannten „großen Transformation“ ausgerufen hat und dabei auch den Bildungsinstitutionen eine gewichtige Rolle zugewiesen hat, wird zunehmend BNE auch als ein Lernen charakterisiert, das die Herbeiführung besagter „großen Transformation“ ermöglichen soll und deshalb auch oft als transformatives Lernen bzw. transformative Bildung bezeichnet wird. Wir nehmen diesen bildungstheoretisch anspruchsvollen Begriff des transforma-tiven Lernens auf und beziehen ihn auf die Schulentwicklung. Dabei verschaffen wir uns zunächst eine begriffliche Grundlage: Zum einen nehmen wir eine bil-dungstheoretische Fundierung v.a. im Sinne des transformatorischen Bildungsbegriffs (Kapitel 1.1) vor und zum anderen skizzieren wir einen kulturellen Nachhal-tigkeitsbegriff, der für transformative Lernprozesse bedeutsam ist (Kapitel 1.2). Vor diesem Hintergrund führen wir den normativ anspruchsvollen Begriff des transformativen Lernens im Sinne von Nachhaltigkeit und der „großen Transformation“ ein (Kapitel 2) und bringen dabei den Transformationsbegriff der Bildungstheorie und den Transformationsbegriff des transformativen Lernens im Sinne des WBGU in einen Zusammenhang. Schließlich werden diese Argumenta-tionslinien anhand von drei Beispielen aus der Praxis der Bielefelder Laborschule auf die Schulentwicklung bezogen: transformatives Lernen als Herausforderung für die Schulentwicklung (Kapitel 3).
Und jetzt auch noch BNE?

Published: November 2024

Angesichts zunehmender sozial-ökologischer Krisen werden seit einigen Jahren verstärkt nachhaltigkeitsbezogene Fragestellungen öffentlich diskutiert. Entsprechende Herausforderungen im Zusammenhang mit den aktuellen Veränderungen der (Um-)Welt sollen auch im Rahmen von Schule und Unterricht adressiert werden. Dies wird seit einigen Jahren unter der Leitlinie ‚Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung‘ (BNE) diskutiert. Nachhaltigkeit soll gezielt zum Gegenstand von Schul- und Unterrichtsentwicklung werden, im Rahmen derer insbesondere Lehrkräften – und damit auch der Lehrer:innenbildung – eine zentrale Bedeutung zugeschrieben wird. Wenngleich bildungspolitische Empfehlungen die Thematisierung von BNE bereits für die erste Phase der Lehrer:innenbildung vorsehen, sind entsprechende Inhalte bundesweit bislang nur vereinzelt und wenig systematisch etabliert. Vorliegende empirische Befunde deuten ebenso darauf hin, dass Lehrkräfte im Rahmen ihrer Ausbildung nur wenige Berührungspunkte mit und damit auch nur vereinzelt fundiertes Wissen im Bereich BNE haben. Um weitergehende Erkenntnisse in Bezug auf mögliche Gründe oder notwendige Maßnahmen hinsichtlich der (Nicht-)Etablierung von BNE im Kontext der Schul- und Unterrichtsent-wicklung zu ziehen, wurden in der vorliegenden Untersuchung N=10 Lehrkräfte in Leitfadeninterviews zu ihren Perspektiven auf BNE befragt. In den Interviews deutet sich unter anderem an, dass Lehrkräfte BNE vorwiegend mit klima- und umweltbezogenen Fragestellungen in Verbindung bringen und entsprechende Umsetzungen (noch) weitestgehend individuell und auf Initiative Einzelner erfolgen. Die Ergebnisse werden anschließend vor dem Hintergrund möglicher Implikationen für die Lehrer:innenbildung diskutiert.

Der Beitrag exploriert die Frage, wie Lehramtsstudierende als angehende Lehrpersonen Nachhaltigkeit und Schulentwicklung in ein Verhältnis setzen. Aufbauend auf theoretischen Überlegungen zur Relationierung von Schulentwicklungsprozessen und der Umsetzung von Nachhaltigkeitsaspekten sowie Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) an Schulen wird auf den Forschungsstand zur Wahrnehmung von Nachhaltigkeit und BNE durch Lehramtsstudierende eingegangen. Darauf aufbauend wird das Desiderat deutlich, mehr darüber zu erfahren, auf welche Wissensbestände Lehramtsstudierende zurückgreifen (können), wenn sie sich mit Fragen von Nachhaltigkeit und BNE in schulischen Entwicklungskontexten befassen. Aus einer eigenen empirischen Studie, in der Gruppendiskussionen mit Lehramtsstudierenden mit der Dokumentarischen Methode ausgewertet wurden, gehen drei Orientierungsrahmen hervor, die kennzeichnen, wie die Studierenden Nachhaltigkeit und Schulentwicklung relationieren: ‚Vermittlung einer Nachhaltigkeitsnorm‘, ‚Beobachtung von Schulentwicklung‘ und ‚Analyse von Lehrer:innenhandeln‘. Abschließend werden Bezüge zum Forschungsstand hergestellt und Implikationen für die Lehrer:innenbildung skiz-ziert.

In the study, a structural and dynamic analysis of commodity exports of Ukraine for 2022 was carried out. It is justified that the drop in commodity exports of Ukraine in 2022, taking into account the catastrophic challenges with which the Ukrainian nation is struggling, can be considered an economic achievement. The structure of commodity exports of Ukraine in 2022 did not undergo drastic changes. At the same time, under the influence of complex challenges caused by the aggression of the Russian Federation. the raw material orientation of export, of several commodity items of crop production increased, and the share of metallurgical products in the structure of Ukraine's commodity exports decreased significantly.
Emphasis is placed on the fact that by exporting raw materials, Ukraine loses potential added value, new working months and budget revenues that could be obtained as a result of the processing of these raw materials. Probable risks and prospects of commodity export when applying the export model of development in Ukraine are outlined. The conceptual directions of the latest model of economic development and its impact on the structure and socio-economic efficiency of Ukrainian exports are proposed.

Geçmişten Günümüze Biyolojik Tehditler
Authors: Ceyhan İsmail
Published: November 2024

Mikroorganizmaların neden olduğu salgınlar tarih boyunca toplumları ve siyasi mekanizmaları derinden etkilemiş ciddi sonuçların doğmasına neden olmuştur. Salgın hastalıklar yüzünden ekonomiler çökmüş, nüfus azalmış, toplumsal yapı zarar görmüş hatta bazı devletler ve imparatorluklar yıkılmıştır. Hastalıkların nedenleri o yıllarda bilinmese bile sonuçlarının gözlenmesine dayalı olarak, toplumlar ve zamanın hükümdarları çıkarlarına uygun yöntemler geliştirmeye çalışmışlar savaş ve saldırı amacıyla biyolojik maddeleri kullanmışlardır. Tarihte Kartaca generali Hannibal'ın Bergama Kralı (Eumenes II) ile yapılan savaşta çömleklerin içindeki zehirli yılanların Pergamon gemilerine atmalarından Japonların ikinci Dünya savaşında vebalı pirelerle yaptığı saldırılara kadar pek çok yöntem kullanılmıştır. Devletler arasındaki savaşlarda biyolojik maddelerin kullanılması 26 Mart 1975'te yürürlüğe giren “Biyolojik Silahlar Sözleşmesi’yle yasaklanmış olsa da bazı devletler bu silahları savunma kılıfı altında üretmeye devam etmişler ve devam etmektedirler. Bunun ötesinde biyolojik ajanlar sadece devletler açısından değil “Aum Shirinkyo” ve “Rajneesh tarikatı” gibi terör örgütleri, Ivins veya Pandey gibi diğer kötü niyetli kişilerin de ilgisini çekmiş ve kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Bugün için biyolojik ajanlara devletlerin, terör örgütlerinin ve kötü niyetli kişilerin ilgisi azalmamıştır. Hatta artarak devam ettiği bile söylenebilir.  Dünyada yaklaşık 20 civarında ülkenin çeşitli araştırmalar ve projeler adı altında ve yüksek güvenlikli laboratuvarlarda çalışılmalar yaptıkları bilinmektedir. Bu tür araştırmalar, son derece tehlikeli mikroorganizmalar ve biyolojik maddelerle çalışmak üzere tasarlanan Biyolojik Seviye 4 (BSL4) adı verilen laboratuvarlarda artmaya devam etmektedir. Bu laboratuvarlarda uluslararası bağımsız denetimler yapılamamakta bu nedenle çalışmalar açık ve şeffaflıktan uzak yürütülmektedir. Denetimsizlik bu laboratuvarların bilim dünyası için “Pandora’nın kutusu” olmasına ve kuşkulara neden olmaktadır. Biyolojik ajanlar, ister doğal salgınlar yaparak isterse de kötüye kullanılması şeklinde olsun, insanlık için nükleer tehlikeden daha büyük tehdit olmaya devam edecektir. Bu çalışmada biyolojik ajanların tarih boyunca insanlık için ne büyük felaketlere neden olduğu gözden geçirilmiş ve günümüzdeki tehlikelere karşı farkındalık oluşturmak amaçlanmıştır.

AIM: Analyze the characteristics of traumatic injuries found in cases of head trauma secondary to traffic accidents, precipitation, falls and direct blows.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study. The sample is made up of 814 cases of autopsies with cause of death of head trauma secondary to a traffic accident, precipitation, fall and direct blow that occurred in the Ancón Judicial Morgue between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2021.
RESULTS: In falls, the most frequent traumatic injuries found were hemorrhages of subcutaneous tissues of the epicranium and subdural hematoma in 79% (n=27) followed by cerebral edema in 62% (n=21). In the direct blow, hematoma of the subcutaneous tissues of the epicranium, as well as subarachnoid hemorrhage, were in 91.3% (n=21), followed by brain contusion in 65.2% (n=15). In the collision there was also subarachnoid hemorrhage in 88% (n=46) and hematoma of subcutaneous tissues of the epicranium in 77% (n=40). In the accident, they were hematoma of the subcutaneous tissues of the epicranium in 86% (n=62) and subarachnoid hemorrhage in 82% (n=59). The precipitates presented subcutaneous tissue hematoma in 81% (n=46), followed by subarachnoid hemorrhage in 75% (n=43) and skull base fracture in 72% (n=41). Fractures of the cranial vault and base appeared more frequently in cases of precipitation (72% and 70% respectively) compared to the other production mechanisms.
CONCLUSIONS: The establishment of the mechanism of production and the etiology of the external and internal injuries caused by a cranioencephalic trauma constitute a difficult challenge for the forensic doctor in which it is necessary to comprehensively assess all the injuries observed and the findings at the crime scene.

This study aims to explore the role of internalizing the values of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in increasing understanding of religious moderation in elementary schools. Religious education has an important role in forming tolerance, mutual respect and interfaith harmony among students. In this study an analysis of the approaches and methods of Islamic education used in elementary schools was carried out. This discussion also highlights the importance of internalizing PAI values in building the moral and ethical foundations of students. Through good religious education, students are taught about universal values such as respect for human rights, social justice, and concern for the environment. This helps students develop a strong moral conscience and become responsible individuals in their religion. internalization of PAI values has a crucial role in increasing understanding of religious moderation in elementary schools. In this process, students develop an inclusive attitude, positive behavior, and a deep understanding of religion that is based on the values of tolerance, justice, and compassion. The results of this study provide important insights for educators and practitioners in designing an effective and impactful PAI learning approach in increasing understanding of religious moderation in elementary schools.

The analysis technique used to solve a problem is based on some relevant literature or has anything to do with the problem under study. The results of the study show that Gus Dur has a concept of character education that promotes morality in the administration of education. Character education in question is oriented towards the formation of personality and noble character based on the Al-Qur'an and al-Hadith, as well as to seek the values ​​of tolerance. Gus Dur's Islamic education is centered on guiding students to become individuals who are free, self-aware, independent, and free from barriers that impede human rights. Islamic education from Gus Dur's perspective must also be able to face the challenges of the globalization era and not be limited to conventional methods. In addition, Gus Dur paid attention to pluralism education. He wanted to reform public schools and Islamic boarding schools to empower Muslims.

Petrochemical polymers are convenient but harmful to humans and the environment. In response to growing environmental concerns over petroleum-based polymers, this study developed a biodegradable plastic made from tapioca and banana peel starch. Tapioca flour, banana peel starch, and 3g, 6g, and 9g of cellulose were used via solvent cast technique to fabricate bioplastic films. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy shows strong peaks at 3400-3200 cm-1, corresponding to OH bond stretching vibrations for all obtained films. The bioplastics film displayed good performance in tensile testing when 6g of cellulose was used as compared to other formulations. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that adding cellulose enhanced the thermal properties where the temperature of 139.0394 ℃ (T20) and 140.16 ℃ (T50) shifted to a higher temperature when 9g cellulose was incorporated with the blend matrix. Interesting to note that 3g of cellulose absorbs the most water however 9g loses the least weight. This phenomenon is due to an increase in the cellulose-hydroxyl hydrogen bonding. On the other hand, the modified films are insoluble in acetic acid, moderately soluble in ammonia, and entirely soluble in sulphuric acid for solubility behaviour analysis. The banana peel starch blend and tapioca powder film modified with cellulose bioplastics have the potential to be applied ideally for food packaging.

Private equity plays a pivotal role in fostering entrepreneurship, innovation, and job creation across many economies. In Morocco, the private equity sector is in its developmental stage and faces significant macroeconomic challenges that hinder its growth. This study seeks to address the gap in the literature by examining how key macroeconomic factors—including GDP growth, exchange rates, government spending, inflation, gross domestic savings, interest rates, and industrial production—affect private equity fundraising in Morocco between 1990 and 2019. Employing the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, we investigate both short- and long-term relationships between these macroeconomic variables and private equity fundraising. The results reveal that GDP growth and interest rates significantly influence private equity fundraising in both the short and long run, while inflation and government spending have a more pronounced long-term effect. These findings highlight the need for policies focused on stabilizing macroeconomic conditions to attract private equity investments. Policymakers should prioritize fostering a stable economic environment characterized by sustainable growth, low inflation, and moderate interest rates to create a favorable investment climate.
Behavioural Insights into Dairy Farmers’ Adoption of Feeding Innovations

The Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) has promoted various feeding innovations to enhance buffalo-based dairy enterprise and increase milk production, yet adoption rates have been suboptimal. This study explores the decision-making processes of dairy farmers regarding the adoption of these innovations, focusing on how attitudes and subjective norms influence their intentions to implement PCC-endorsed feed technologies, such as improved forage, concentrate feeding, legume supplementation, and forage ensiling. Data were collected through structured interviews with 60 dairy farmers. The analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results showed that socioeconomic factors and farm characteristics minimally impact the intention to adopt innovations, with land ownership and herd size positively influencing concentrate feeding. Perceived usefulness and difficulty significantly shape farmers' intentions, indicating that constraints like land availability and high production costs hinder the adoption of legume supplementation and forage ensiling. While attitudes toward feeding innovations are generally positive, practical challenges limit their uptake. Social norms, shaped by extension staff and peer farmers, play a significant role in influencing farmers' intentions to adopt these innovations. This study emphasized the need to address practical barriers to enhance the uptake of feeding innovations and improve dairy buffalo production.
