Tujuan penelitian ini untuk memperdalam wawasan mengenai partisipasi masyarakat terhadap kabijakan politik teknokratis. Secara sederhana teknokrasi dapat didefinisikan sebagai suatu model perumusan dan pengambilan kebijakan public. Sejumlah bentuk teknokrasi dibayangkan sebagai bentuk meritokrasi, sebuah sistem ketika "orang paling berkualifikasi" dan orang yang memutuskan keabsahan kualifikasi tersebut adalah orang yang sama. pengambilan kebijakan publik seringkali dilaksanakan sepenuhnya oleh pemerintah secara teknokratis. Selain itu proses pembuatan kebijakan juga sering dilakukan semata-mata bersandar pada orang-orang ahli yang ada di pusat dengan kurang memperhitungkan aspirasi masyarakat. Perkembangan pemikiran tentang partisipasi masyarakat dalam upaya pengembangan suatu komunitas, belumlah cukup hanya melihat partisipasi masyarakat hanya pada tahapan perencanaan dan pelaksanaan program pembangunan.

给地球降温：高空太阳能遮挡构想
Authors: YANG Zheng-Ling
Published: August 2022

降低全球变暖对地球和人类生存环境的危害，除了减少二氧化碳等温室气体的排放外，降低地球接收到的太阳能，是另一种可能的思路。在地球外的太空轨道、地球大气的平流层等，采用遮光材料来拦截太阳能。如果不进行太阳能发电的话，朝向太阳的一面应具有高的反射率，特别是对红外线保持高的反射率，以期降低遮光材料的工作温度。这样，既可以降低地球接收到的太阳能，又可以同时保护好地球的散热，是解决全球变暖的其它思路之一。
The relation between Honesty-Humility and moral concerns as expressed in language
Authors: Ścigała Karolina Aleksandra , Arkoudi Ioanna , Schild Christoph , Pfattheicher Stefan , Zettler Ingo
Published: August 2022

Does the basic trait Honesty-Humility predict the type of moral concerns people express in language? We explore whether Honesty-Humility relates to the expression of five moral concerns in language—namely, care/harm, justice/fairness, loyalty/betrayal, authority/subversion, and sanctity/degradation—as conceptualized by the Moral Foundations Theory. Using Natural Language Processing, we screened 16,497 (un)ethical justifications—i.e., reasons for behaving (un)ethically—for the presence of the five moral concerns (N = 901). We found that Honesty-Humility related positively to justice/fairness concerns, but it did not relate to care/harm, loyalty/betrayal, authority/subversion, and sanctity/degradation concerns. Our findings thus suggest that justice/fairness concerns might serve as one of the mechanisms relating Honesty-Humility to anti- and prosocial behavior.
Exposing Omitted Moderators: Explaining Differences in Effect Sizes in the Social Sciences.
Authors: Krefeld-Schwalb Antonia , Sugerman Eli , Johnson Eric J.
Published: August 2022

Policymakers increasingly rely on behavioral science in response to global challenges, such as climate change or global health crises. But applying behavioral science faces an important problem. Interventions exert substantially different effects across contexts and individuals. We examine this heterogeneity for different paradigms that provide the basis for many behavioral interventions. We study the paradigms across one in-person and 10 online panels with over 11000 respondents. We propose a framework of typically omitted moderators to explain this heterogeneity. The framework’s factors (Fluid Intelligence, Attentiveness, Crystallized Intelligence, and Experience) affect the effectiveness of many behavioral interventions and preference measures. The observed treatment effect depends on the distribution of moderators in each sample. Our results motivate observing these moderators and provide a theoretical and empirical framework for understanding varying effect sizes.
A novel EEG-based paradigm to measure intergroup prosociality. An intergenerational study in the aftermath of the genocide in Rwanda
Authors: Pech Guillaume , Gishoma Darius , Caspar Emilie A.
Published: August 2022

Studying how intergroup prosociality evolves in war-torn societies is critical for understanding better the perpetuation of conflict. Rwanda is a unique example of how two groups that were in conflict in the past have to reconcile and manage their intergroup biases. In the present study, we used a novel Intended Prosociality Task to measure intergroup prosociality between former perpetrators, survivors and their children in Rwanda. In the task, participants had to decide between different individuals representing their own ingroup or their outgroup, who would be the recipient of their prosocial intentions. We measured how frequently they selected the ingroup or outgroup individuals and to what extent choosing each individual induced a cognitive conflict, as measured with reaction times (RT) and mid-frontal theta activity (FMθ). Results indicated that survivors and their children selected less frequently former perpetrators and their offspring as the recipient of their prosocial intentions. Further, nonetheless selecting them involved a higher cognitive conflict preceding their decision, as indexed by longer RT and a higher FMθ, compared to choosing their own ingroup. For the group composed of former perpetrators and their children, we observed a dissociation. They selected more frequently the outgroup individuals, perhaps as a compensating behavior for their past wrongdoings. Nonetheless, selecting the outgroup individuals involved a higher cognitive conflict preceding their decision, as indexed by longer RT when they were free to choose and higher FMθ, than selecting their own ingroup. Results are important to understand how past conflicts influence the intergroup prosociality bias and to what extent this bias is diffused to the next generation individuals.
‘I Just Wanted to Get it Over and Done With’: A Grounded Theory of Psychological Need Frustration in Video Games
Authors: Ballou Nick , Deterding Sebastian
Published: August 2022

Psychological need frustration—experiences like failure, loneliness, or coercion—is emerging as a promising explanation for why people disengage with games and other entertainment media, and how media may induce dysregulated use and ill-being. However, existing research on game- related need frustration relies on general instruments with unclear content validity for games. We also do not know how need frustration arises in video games, nor how it leads to disengagement. We therefore conducted a semi-structured interview study with 12 video game players, following grounded theory methods to develop a model of need-frustrating play. We find that need frustration is a common and impactful experience in games, with distinct antecedents not fully captured in existing measures. Felt need frustration arises when observed need-frustrating events negatively violate expected need frustration or satisfaction; repeated violations update players’ expectations, which lead them to modulate or quit play to reduce expected frustration exposure.

Authors: Gautam Pitamber
Published: August 2022

English occupies an outstanding position both in academic and non- academic sectors of Nepal. Therefore, it is taught both as a compulsory and major subject from the basic to advanced level in the Nepalese academic institutions. Thus, this study finds out the attitudes of the students studying bachelor first year in a constituent campus, under Tribhuvan University, Nepal. To address this objective, this study has adopted the phenomenological design under the qualitative research approach. The required information was collected from six students studying major English under the faculty of education, Tribhuvan University, Nepal. The purposively selected informants were interviewed and three classes were observed to obtain information. The data were processed, analyzed, interpreted and presented in three distinct themes as reasons for studying the English language, instructional procedure and course contents and classroom environment and learning aids. The results explicated that the major English students in the faculty of education have positive attitudes and motivation to English language learning. They are satisfied with the English teachers' instructional approaches and classroom procedures. Yet, they recommend bringing improvements in syllabus designing, content arrangements, classroom environment and individualized instruction in the classroom.
EFL Female Teachers' and Students' Experiences of Gender Discrimination in Rural Nepali Schools
Authors: Neupane Binod
Published: August 2022

Gender discrimination in schools is a serious problem in developed and developing countries including Nepal. Literature shows that gender discrimination in educational institutions, like in other workplaces, is common. My experience as a teacher and the cross-road conversation with some EFL female teachers and students triggered me to study the issue of gender discrimination in schools critically. The purpose of the study reported here was to explore EFL female teachers' and students' experiences of gender discrimination in Nepali schools. Using qualitative phenomenology design, I collected information through semi-structured interviews with eight female teachers and eight students from four schools in a district. The result showed that many female teachers and girls experienced various forms of gender-based discrimination such as psychological and emotional torture, sexual harassment, inequality in assigning roles and responsibilities, discrimination in hiring, unequal wages, disrespect, gender-based bias in grading, and lack of gender-inclusive curriculum and textbooks in schools. Similarly, the paper suggests the teachers and the stakeholders develop gender-inclusive curricula and promote positive gender socialization for gender equality in schools.
Backward Bifurcation in Epidemic Models of Toxoplasma gondii: A Qualitative Analysis
Authors: Ayoade Abayomi Ayotunde , Agunbiade Samson , Oyedepo Taiye
Published: August 2022

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease instigated by T. gondii. T. gondii can infect every warm[1]blooded vertebrate and the proportion of the world population that is suffering from the parasitic disease is over one-third. In this work, a nonlinear epidemic model is developed to analyze how various factors can instigate backward bifurcation phenomenon in the transmission dynamics of toxoplasmosis. The model is subjected to the usability test by employing ample mathematical techniques and is found to be usable. An analytical threshold that governed T. gondii transmissibility is derived and used to study the model qualitatively. Results from the analysis establish the existence of backward bifurcation for toxoplasmosis dynamics.
Measurements of the CKM angle gamma at LHCb
Authors: Krupa Wojciech
Published: August 2022

The tree-level measurement of the CKM angle γ is one of the most important tests of CP violation in the Standard Model. Discrepancies between measurements in tree-level decays and decays with loops might provide evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model. Results of the recent analysis of B0 → D0K∗0, B0s →D±s K±π±π∓, B± → D h± and B− → D∗K− decays are presented in this paper. A newcombination of all LHCb measurements is also discussed. The achieved precision of the LHCb result, γ = (67 ± 4)◦, dominates the worldaverage.

Published: August 2022

According to the World Health Organization the morbidity of atrial fibrillations is 1-2% of the general population, which is extremely high number due to the severity of the disease. The frequency of morbidity will increase by about 2.5 times (1). Namely, the unfavorable epidemiological picture of atrial fibrillation makes the project relevant. There are numerous studies, although intracardiac hemodynamics and hemorheologycal parameters and their role in the course of atrial fibrillation have not been studied; We have studied the hemorheological profile in patients with atrial fibrillation. Changes of rheological parameters and hemodynamics were assessed against the background of rhythm disturbances. We examined 50 patients (women-22, men - 28, the average age of 65±10) and 20 healthy volunteers. We have studied the Index of the Erythrocytes aggregability, which is the area of aggregated erythrocytes divided by the full area of the erythrocytes. These new innovative methods “Georgian Technique” is created by Georgian scientists and they are famous in the world as direct, numeral and exact [G. Mchedlishvili, 2004; N. Maeda, 2010; M. Mantskava M., 2011]. Also, all patients the studies: ECG, ECHOcardioscopy was performed. After statistical processing of the material, it was found that erythrocytes aggregability is highly impaired in patients with permanent and persistent forms of atrial fibrillation. Mean value of EAI is 41.7 ± 10.4 compared to the control group, where the average EAI value is within 25.6 ± 1.2. The Index of erythrocytes aggregability (EAI) are significantly increased in inverse proportion to the decrease of the left ventricular ejection fraction. A negative correlation was revealed between the Index of erythrocytes aggregation and the left ventricular ejection fraction (R=0.4); According to the obtained data, changes of rheological parameters deepen in the wake of disruption of intracardiac hemodynamics; This confirms the notion that a small blood vessel is the "target" in the case of atrial fibrillation. From hemodynamic mechanisms rheology plays an important role. They are determinants of hemodynamic processes in the body (2).

Published: August 2022

Background: The literature on patients with heart failure (HF) from the Middle East, besides a few existing registries, is scarce. We report, for the first time in our country, a hospital-based registry for systolic HF. Materials and Methods: This was a web-based registry on HF, conducted in Vali-Asr Hospital affiliated with Fasa University of Medical Sciences, Fasa, Iran. The goal of this registry was to define overall baseline clinical characteristics and natural history of hospitalized patients with systolic HF, to evaluate current management schema and implementation of practice guidelines, and to determine the correlation between genetic predisposition environmental effects, individualsâ€™ characteristics of health, lifestyle, morbidity, and mortality in relation with the effects of medication. Results: To date, 2378 individuals with a mean of age 67.08Â±13.07 years have been registered. Among which, 1381 (58.07%) patients were diagnosed with denovo HF. Most of the patients (60.1%) were male, and 8.9% had admissions during the past 30 days. The most common causes of HF were ischemic heart disease (86.5%) and hypertension (5.3%). Most patients had NYHA class one (44.3%) and three (20.4%). Overall, near 30% had diabetes and more than 38% had hyperlipidemia. Most individuals have been not a history of cigarette smoking (68.7%) or water-pipe smoking (96.9%). Also, 22.2% were current opium users, and 3.2% were previous opium users. Conclusions: The findings of this registry could make a realistic view of HF as a chronic disease with a burden. Therefore, policymakers can design programs and guidelines to prevent disease and better survival and quality of life. [GMJ.2021;10:e2111]

Authors: Alrefaee Janan , E Albalawi Aishah , Alanazi Sarah , A Althobaiti Norah , Daghash Hanan , Abu Hasb Tharaa , Abusuliman Mohammad
Published: August 2022

Background: On March 2020, the first case of coronavirus disease-19 was registered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and subsequently the first mortality case. The predicting factors for patients' outcomes are essential to triage patients with COVID-19. This may provide low-cost facilities that help in the fight against the existing global pandemic.   
Objectives: This study aimed to predict hospitalization and death outcomes of COVID-19 patients using the simplest facilities.
Method: The electronic medical records of 280 COVID-19 patients between March 2020 and May 2021 were retrieved from a multi-centre of healthcare facilities across Kingdom of Saudi Arabian cites. All demographic and clinical information were examined to determine predictors and outcomes.
Results: Of the 280 COVID -19 patients enrolled in our study, 14.3% were aged ≥ 66 years and 62.5% were female. The elderly (≥ 66 years, P= 0.000) and male patients (P= 0.001) were significantly hospitalized by COVID -19 than others. Patients with symptoms were hospitalized significantly more than patients without symptoms (P= 0.001). Patients with chronic conditions were hospitalized more frequently (P= 0.001). Hospitalization status also did not differ by smoking. Fever occurred significantly more frequently in patients with one or more chronic diseases (P = 0.000). Elderly (≥ 66 years, P= 0.000) and male patients of COVID -19 (P= 0.022) had significant evidence of association with death outcome than others. Hospitalization status was associated with death (P = 0.000).
Conclusion: This study reported that male gender and advanced age COVID-19 patients are independent predictors for both hospital admission and death outcomes more than others. The COVID-19 patients who complain from symptoms are at risk for hospitalization as well. Additionally, having chronic clinical conditions are predictor factor for hospital admission outcome. Finally, the hospitalized patients of COVID-19 infection are at risk for death outcome.
Assessment of Total Procollagen Type 1 Intact N-terminal Propeptide, C-telopeptide of type 1 collagen, Bone Mineral Density and its Relationship to Body Mass Index in Men with Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: ABED ELAF , Dr Manal K Rasheed  , Dr Khalaf G.Hussein
Published: August 2022

Background: Type 2 diabetes negatively affects the biochemical parameters of bone turnover more than obesity and is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis and fragility fractures. Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are linked to increased fracturing risk; however, the effect of obesity on diabetes-related bone deficit is unknown.
Objective: The goal of this research is to compare the indications, bone density, and bone turnover in T2DM men and a control group, and to investigate the effect of body mass index on bone turnover levels.
Subjects, Material and Method: This case-control study was conducted on 120 men whose ages were from 40 - 69 years. They were grouped into two categories: T2DM (n=80) and healthy control (n=40). Serum samples from both groups were analyzed for blood glucose, Calcium and Albumin, by using (Cobas c111), PTH by (Cobas e 411), P1NP and CTX-1 levels in the serum using ELISA kits. Participants underwent (DEXA) measuring Bone Mass Density (BMD) at the lumbar spine.
Results: The control (obese and non-obese) participants had statistically significant higher levels of CTX-1 and P1NP than the patients (obese and non-obese) (P-value = 0.000). There was no significant differences in Spine BMD, T-score (p-value = 0.27 and 0.37 respectively).
Conclusion: Men with T2DM had a low bone turnover level and deteriorated bone quality compared to controls. The obese healthy controls can maintain healthy bone metabolism if T2DM is prevented.
Dopamine D5 receptor involvement in LTP and LTD: adjustment to the dysconnectivity theory of schizophrenia
Authors: Labrou Dimitris
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this article is to emphasise the role of the dopamine D5 receptor in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, through its actions on the hippocampus, the prefrontal cortex, the striatum, and the basal ganglia. We believe that this receptor, along with other key receptor systems, mainly the 5HT2A/C, the GABA(A), the NMDA, and some nAchRs are vital for long-term potentiation and long-term depression effects, that control the plasticity of the brain. We assume that the anatomical and physiological traits that have been found, show us a loss of plasticity, which may be intertwined with a degree of atrophy in the brain, noted in a percentage of schizophrenia patients, as a loss of grey matter, per se. Of course, the plasticity is mediated by different receptors in each brain region, and the tissues associated with the dopamine D5 receptor, show us a multi-parameter function, through the LTP and LTD. The effect that the dysfunction of the LTP and LTD has on the brain, is related to the dysconnectivity between parts of the CNS, a trait associated with many neurodevelopmental disorders, especially schizophrenia.

AbstractAndroid-based semester exams that are implemented by the SMA Negeri 3 Jambi city are largely determined by the perception of teachers and students, where this perception is rooted in the view of the implementation of an android-based test of the experience and knowledge of the teacher itself. For the perspective of students, changes in the conventional examination towards the Android-based exam will have an impact on individual reactions, for schools such as the SMA Negeri 3 Jambi City who have just started using or carrying out the Android-based test in 2018, there are still differences of opinion among history subjects and students at the school about the Android-based semester exam.

AbstractScientific learning is a characteristic of implementing the 2013 curriculum in the learning process in schools so that students are more active in the learning process. The scientific approach is a scientific approach that is applied to learning because it applies scientific principles namely observing, asking, gathering information, associating, and communicating. The new approach applied to learning requires teachers to master how to implement it according to the 2013 curriculum. The implementation of the scientific approach in history learning at SMA Negeri 4 Muaro Jambi applies learning methods and models that are capable of student activity in learning. It can be said that history learning is in accordance with the 2013 curriculum even though it is not optimal. One of the methods used in learning is carried out by the teacher, namely the discussion method which is interspersed with the lecture method. The teacher applies the discussion method because it is considered capable of making students more active and critical in the learning process. Meanwhile, there are also obstacles such as a lack of reference reading materials, learning tools such as projectors and permanent focus in classrooms, and the absence of a special history lab. Keywords: Scientific Approach, Historical Learning AbstrakPembelajaran scietific merupakan ciri khas dari penerapan kurikulum 2013 dalam proses pembelajaran di sekolah agar siswa lebih aktif dalam proses belajarnya.

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in patients operated previously for renal stone are thought to pose some difficulties.
Objective: To see the outcome of PCNL in patients who had undergone open surgery for renal stone.
Method: This cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Urology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from November 2015 to October 2016 over a period of one year. Thirty cases with recurrent stone having previous open renal stone surgery were enrolled as study subject. After PCNL all the patients were followed up at one week, one month and three months after procedure.
Result: Mean age of the patients was 40.90 ± 6.08 years and mean stone size was 2.98 ± 0.65 cm. Mean operation time of the patients was 1.50 ± 0.46 hours and mean postoperative hospital stay was 3.87 ± 1.13 days. Stone was cleared from 29 (96.7%) patients. Mean drop of Haemoglobin level was 0.85 ± 0.55 mg/dl.
Conclusion: Previous open stone surgery does not alter the outcome of subsequent PCNL.

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has gradually evolved to be one of the main endourologic treatment options for managing renal stone. For successful enctry into pelvicalyceal system can be obtained by fluoroscopy, ultrasonography and sometimes computed tomography (CT-guided) after RGP, but many are done without RGP. In this study, our objective was to compare the clinical outcomes of renal calculi management by PCNL with and without retrograde pyelography.
Method: This quasi experimental study conducted on 60 cases with opaque renal calculi in lower, middle and upper calyx and lower calyx with renal pelvis. They were grouped into 2 groups purposely, one with RGP (30 patients) while other without RGP (30 patients).
Result: We found no statistically significant difference between RGP and non RGP group in terms of duration of surgery (71.68 ±12.95 minutes vs 78.84±15.56 minutes), duration of radiation exposure (3.55± 1.34 min vs 3.74± 0.52 minutes) & hospital stay (3.0± 0.8 vs 2.6 ±1.0 days). Around 93.33 percent of the patients in the RGP group (n=28) were stone free, whereas in the Non-RGP group, 90% percent of the patients (n=27) were stone free.
Conclusion: We can avoid RGP during PCNL in selected cases for pelvicalyceal access in the sight of no significant differences in duration of surgery, duration of radiation exposure, Hospital stay & complications in PCNL either with or without RGP.

The rhizome of Canna indica L. (family: Cannaceae) was extracted in methanol and two doses- 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight of the extract were employed to reveal central and peripheral analgesic, hypoglycemic and antidiarrheal properties in vivo. According to tail immersion technique, both doses significantly rose the time of latent response for 90 minutes compared to control mice group in assessing central analgesia. Acetic acid-induced writhing process demonstrated 37.29% and 64.41% inhibition of mice movement at both doses, respectively which indicated promising and statistically significant peripheral analgesic effect. On the other hand, hypoglycemic and antidiarrheal activities maintained dose and time dependent manner. Moreover, the extract of rhizome displayed statistically significant antidiarrheal activity at 400 mg/kg b.w. dose.

Published: August 2022

There is an utmost urgency of having new and advanced diagnostics as well as therapeutic alternatives along with the conventional methods to treat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For this purpose, different strategies must be explored for the advancement of testing capacity, developing effective treatments, and developing safe vaccines that provide long-term immunity. Nanotechnology has been found effective against COVID-19 in terms of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. The diameter of SARS-CoV-2 (60–140 nm) is similar to nanoparticles. This is why, synthetic nanoparticles can precisely resemble SARS-CoV-2, and efficiently interact with the viral proteins and counter this virus. Nanotechnology offers benefits by developing efficient and cost-effective diagnosis methods and facilitating the improvement of drug properties through nano-carriers, namely liposomes, micelles, metallic nanoparticles, etc. The bibliometric analysis evaluates scholarly contributions using mathematical and statistical methodologies. In this study, the bibliometric analysis investigated the publication trends of nanoparticles and their application in COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment. We have systematically searched the different search engines and publishers (Scopus, PubMed, and Google scholar) from 2020 to 2021, and various visual maps were generated to show, the most- relevant authors, sources, countries, topics, and keywords by using a software called VOSviewer. The findings indicate the advancement of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and therapy of COVID-19. At last, the bibliometric analysis of nanoparticles for COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment provides a clear view of the future research directions and identifies the potential challenges and opportunities. This may pave the way for new researchers to find the proper subfields in nanoparticle-related research areas for combating the COVID-19.
