Published: January 2025

Wearable antennas are antennas that can be applied to the human body and are made of flexible materials, making them ideal for healthcare technology. The quality of the signal received by the antenna directly affects the accuracy of heart rate detection If the antenna measurements indicate strong, clear signal reception, the heart rate monitor can accurately detect and interpret heartbeats. In this study, a planar monopole antenna was designed and developed using a circular patch with Ultra Wide Band (UWB) characteristics. The FR-4 and copper were utilized for the substrate and the ground plane and patch, respectively. Simulations and measurements were conducted at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The antenna with the added EBG structure showed improved performance compared to the conventional antenna, exhibiting better S11 and VSWR values. Additionally, all radiation patterns were unidirectional.  Applying this antenna to transmit heart rate measurements results in an accuracy of  94.34% compared to conventional onsite heart rate measurement. This study demonstrates that the wearable band provides real-time heart rate monitoring, while the EBG antenna enhances sensitivity and accuracy in detecting heart rate. This research can be enhanced by optimizing the EBG design and conducting additional trials to ensure the device performs well for a variety of users.

Authors: Hidajat Taofik , Hamdani Muliawan , Putri Ratna Komala , Ramadhan Abian Mirza
Published: January 2025

This research was conducted to extend the study of social trading using the behavioral finance perspective, the role of trust and a mixed-method approach from followers on social trading platforms. This research uses a mixed-method approach. In the first stage, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 follower traders by snowball sampling to find out the factors that influence traders' investment and trading behavior through social trading platforms.  The second stage will quantitatively test the model using SmartPLS with 342 follower traders. Respondents in the second stage are followers of traders with real accounts on social trading platforms. Data was collected by accidental sampling using an online questionnaire distributed through forums and trader communities.  The behavioral finance perspective is the basis of this research because empirical psychology can provide a good explanation when people are faced with uncertainty, which in this case is the uncertainty of trading results. Until now, research on social trading has mostly discussed about behavioral biases from the perspective of top leaders, not followers. Why people trust and mimic the behavior of traders through social trading platforms is an interesting question. Trust plays a vital role in the world of finance and technology, but very little research has addressed the role of trust in social trading. This research closes that gap by discussing the role of trust in social trading from a behavioral finance perspective. The results of this study conclude that Optimism, Herding, Stereotype bias, Confirmation bias, and Hot hand fallacy have a positive effect on trading decisions. Trust in trader leaders also strengthens the influence of optimism and stereotype bias on trading decisions.

Authors: Setiawan Romi , Wibisono Dermawan , Purwanegara Mustika Sufiati
Published: January 2025

This study explores the impact of regional cultural dynamics on event engagement and revisit intentions in Indonesia, focusing on differences between Java and Non-Java regions. Using Multigroup Analysis in Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (MGA-PLS), the study compares how differences in regional culture affect consumer behavior, going beyond the usual focus on differences in race. Results indicate no significant differences in the influence of cultural dynamics on event engagement between these regions, highlighting a uniform effect of cultural factors on consumer behavior towards events. Mediation analysis shows that event engagement significantly mediates the relationships between cultural characteristics such as interpersonal communication, social hierarchy, collective decision-making, and revisit intentions. Furthermore, factors like individual autonomy and social rituals directly impact revisit intentions, emphasizing their crucial roles in shaping consumer decisions at events. These findings suggest that despite regional cultural nuances, their overall impact on consumer behavior remains consistent across different settings. This research provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between culture and consumer behavior in Indonesia’s diverse socio-cultural landscape, offering practical implications for event organizers to develop universally appealing yet culturally attuned engagement strategies.

Published: January 2025

This article is devoted to the analysis of the influence of international non-governmental organizations on the development of civil society institutions in individual national states in the context of the processes of ensuring national security in these countries. The authors note that the XXIst century is characterized by the rapid development of international non-governmental organizations, whose activities are aimed at the emergence, support and development of civil society institutions in individual national states. However, not all civil society institutions, stimulated by international non-governmental organizations, are useful for the processes of preservation and development of society and the state. A significant part of them act as a tool to undermine the national security of individual States. In this regard, the national legislation of individual countries establishes norms that counteract, on the one hand, the possibility of creating and functioning such civil society institutions, and on the other hand, their subordination to international non-governmental organizations. The following methods of scientific research are used, in particular: formal-logical; comparative-legal; historical-legal; statistical; sociological; method of analyzing specific legal situations. The empirical basis of the study was made up of: international and national normative legal acts; materials of the scientific doctrine of civil society, international non-governmental organizations; materials of the practical activities of civil society entities (subjects of public control). The paper analyzes the main problems (on the example of Russia) related to countering the processes of using civil society institutions by international non-governmental organizations as a tool to undermine national security, among which one can single out: the lack of a comprehensive mechanism in Russia to counter the processes of using civil society institutions as a tool to undermine national security; the absence of criteria in legislation for attribution international governmental organizations and their branches (representative offices) belong to the above-mentioned category; weak control over them by public authorities; lack of specialized subjects of public control in this area; weak use of modern digital technologies in this area; lack of special criminal law structures to punish persons engaged in the above-mentioned activities. The authors have developed and justified a system of measures to resolve these problems.

Authors: Bintang Ryan Ananta  , Machfianita Mirza Ayu Rosadi  , Kusuma Wijaya
Published: January 2025

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced significant ethical challenges, particularly regarding human dependency and technological mediation. This research examines the ethical boundaries and human-AI dependency portrayed in the movie Atlas through Verbeek’s mediation theory and Floridi’s principles of AI ethics. Using a qualitative method, the study analyzes pivotal scenes and dialogues to explore themes of autonomy, control, trust, and moral decision-making. Findings reveal the dual nature of AI dependency: as a strategic necessity enabling human-AI collaboration, exemplified by Neural Link technologies, and as a source of conflict, highlighted by the autonomous AI Harlan’s misaligned ethical reasoning. While AI can amplify human capabilities and foster cooperative outcomes, its autonomy raises concerns about accountability and value alignment. The research underscores the importance of designing ethical, transparent, and accountable AI systems, contributing to broader discussions on balancing technological innovation with human autonomy.

Authors: Khandpur Sujay , Singh Suvesh , Paul Debopriya
Published: January 2025

Background

Handheld narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) device is a portable, home-based, patient-friendly equipment used in vitiligo. It is a newer promising treatment that lacks generalised consensus due to heterogenicity among studies.

Objective

To determine the clinical efficacy and safety profile of handheld NB-UVB devices in the treatment of vitiligo.

Methods and Materials

Following the PRISMA guidelines and using appropriate keywords, the Embase, PubMed and Scopus databases were searched on 28 November 2023. Data on the proportion of patients with a percentage of re-pigmentation and toxicity were extracted from the included studies. Random effects and fixed model were utilised to generate pooled estimates via meta-analysis.

Results

Out of 250 articles, 13 studies (557 patients) were included. The extent of repigmentation achieved over a median duration of 6 months (range 3-12 months) was quantified to be > 25%, > 50%, and >75 % in 63.6% (95% CI: 51.0–75.3%), 40.8% (95% CI: 30.4–51.6%) and 15.4% (95% CI: 7.6–25.3%) of patients respectively. After 12 weeks of treatment, the proportions of patients achieving > 25%, > 50%, and >75% re-pigmentation were 31.1% (95% CI: 9.6–58.3%), 12.9% (95% CI: 3.1–28.1%) and 6.5% (95% CI: 1.7–14.1%), respectively. Similarly, at 24 weeks, these proportions were 53.2% (95% CI: 24.5–80.7%), 36.7% (95% CI: 15.8–60.5%), and 11.1% (95% CI: 2.9–23.7%). Minimal erythema dose (MED) calculation-based therapy was not significantly better than therapy given without MED calculation (p = 0.43). The studies with only stable vitiligo patients did not achieve significantly greater > 25% (p = 0.06), > 50% (p = 0.80), and > 75% (p = 0.25) re-pigmentation compared to the studies that also included active or slowly progressive vitiligo. Three sessions per week resulted in significantly higher > 50% (p < 0.01) and > 75% (p = 0.01) re-pigmentation. Totally, 11.3% (38/334) of patients showed no response to therapy. The most commonly reported adverse event was erythema in 33.4% (95% CI: 19.3–49.2%) of patients, with grade 3 and 4 erythema in 27 and 15 patients, respectively. Other adverse events included pruritus, burning, hyperpigmentation, dryness, and blister formation observed in 22.1%, 16.4%, 19.1%, 9.8%, and 9.7% of patients, respectively.

Conclusion

Handheld NB-UVB portable home-based devices are an efficacious and safe treatment option in vitiligo patients even without MED calculation, when the treatment frequency is three to four sessions per week.

Published: January 2025

In some regions of Mexico, Flaveria trinervia (Spreng.) C. Mohr, also known as “Scotch broom”, is used to treat respiratory diseases, but no scientific studies have been carried out to confirm their possible therapeutic use. For this reason, in this research, the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities were evaluated along with its possible mechanism of action. 16 extracts of flowers, leaves, stems and the whole plant of Flaveria trinervia (Spreng.) C. Mohr were tested using hexane, chloroform, acetone and methanol as extraction solvents. The higher yield and antioxidant activity were obtained when methanol and acetone were used as extraction solvents for the leaves. The antimicrobial activity against microorganisms associated with pneumonia showed that the highest sensitivity was obtained for the two tested strains of S. aureus (50F and ATCC-43300) when acetone was used as extraction solvent (0.57 and 1.53 mg/mL respectively).

On the other hand, the sensitivity of the tested Gram-negative microorganisms [A. baumannii (A164) and P. aeruginosa (ATCC-14)] was in the range of 0.36 and 1.9 mg/mL, similar to the positive control. Similar cell membrane damage was observed in all tested microorganisms compared to the control group, especially regarding nucleic acid leakage. These results were confirmed by the increase in penetration of the crystal violet dye and the decrease in microbial density. The results are important considering the greater antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria.

Authors: Mohankumar Harshini , Soundararajan Deepa , Raju Prabakaran
Published: January 2025

Plectranthus caninus, a member of the Lamiaceae family, possesses a range of therapeutic properties. Despite its inability to produce seeds, this species efficiently propagates through vegetative plant components. A recent study investigated the efficacy of vegetative propagation of P. caninus and evaluated the anti-inflammatory properties of an ethanolic leaf extract obtained from vegetatively propagated plants. Without any treatment, stem cuttings of P. caninus demonstrated a successful initiation of shoots and roots, achieving a propagation rate of 75%. Over a span of 60 days, the plants exhibited significant growth with a maximum plant height of 37cm, shoot length of 26.2cm and root length of 12.6cm.

The anti-inflammatory potential was assessed through the albumin denaturation assay, HRBC membrane stabilization assay and heat-induced hemolysis assay. The ethanolic leaf extract of P. caninus displayed maximum percentage inhibition at 200 mg/mL, with values of 78.70 ± 0.83, 77.7 ± 0.66 and 79.8 ± 0.63 respectively. Comparative analysis with the standard (diclofenac sodium) revealed similar results. In conclusion, the anti-inflammatory potential found in the leaves of P. caninus holds promise for the development of a novel plant-based anti-inflammatory drug.
Tetracyclines-Resistant bacteria in Shrimps sold in major Supermarkets in Da Nang City, Vietnam
Authors: Truong Thi Chau Giang , Nguyen Thi Minh Xuan
Published: January 2025

The spread of tetracycline-resistant genes has posed a threat to the therapeutic effectiveness of tetracyclines. Misusing tetracyclines in seafood and shrimp farming has only accelerated this resistance process. Our study aimed to evaluate the status of tetracycline-resistant bacteria in shrimps and to evaluate the probability of spreading these antibiotic-resistant genes. The shrimp purchased from three major supermarkets in Da Nang city were analyzed and the results revealed that the ratio of bacteria resistant to tetracycline and oxytetracycline had a relatively high resistance rate of 4-11%. This study found that all tested supermarkets exhibited resistance with the rate of resistance to oxytetracycline being higher than that of tetracycline.

In situations where bacteria with oxytetracycline-resistant genes and Lactobacillus acidophilus, were co-cultured, the transmission of the resistant genes to Lactobacillus acidophilus occurred. Moreover, the tetracycline resistance of bacteria isolated from shrimp intestines did not decrease even after being cultured in an antibiotic-free medium. The findings of our study strongly indicate the need for immediate action to control the overuse of tetracyclines in shrimp farming and to prevent the further spread of antibiotic-resistant genes.

Authors: Kramarov S.O. , Bezuevskaya V.A. , Khramov V.V.
Published: January 2025

One of the main goals of the modern development of universities in the world is to promote social, cultural and economic development of the society in which these institutions operate through the creation, implementation, expansion, dissemination and use of new knowledge, establishing direct relationships with the region and all its components, which, in turn, provide the basis for the development of education itself, based on projects to solve real problems. At the same time, the assessment of the involvement of the University in the solution of actual problems of the region is carried out on the basis of theoretical designs, models and criteria that form the signs (indicators) of success. This approach strengthens the position of the University as a driving force of innovation and development of the region at any level, and one of the main roles here can be played by the network development of universities, based on the intellectual analysis of data on the current state, on the one hand, of the science in the University and, on the other hand, the situation in the economy and social sphere. In Europe, this approach is called the Third mission of universities. The article considers the use of several types of fuzzy hybrid models used in studies of the interaction between the University and the region, which improve the quality of evaluation of its effectiveness.

Одной из основных целей современного развития университетов в мире является содействие социальному, культурному и экономическому развитию общества, в котором эти учебные заведения функционируют посредством создания, внедрения, расширения, распространения и использования новых знаний, налаживания прямых взаимосвязей с регионом и всеми его составляющими, что, в свою очередь, служит основанием для развития самого образования, основанного на проектах по решению реальных проблем. При этом оценка вовлеченности вуза в решение актуальных проблем региона проводится на базе теоретических конструкций, моделей и критериев, формирующих признаки (индикаторы) успешности . Такой подход укрепляет позицию вуза как движущей силы инноваций и развития региона любого уровня, причем одну из главных ролей здесь может сыграть сетевое развитие университетов, опирающееся на интеллектуальный анализ данных о текущих состояниях, с одной стороны, науки в вузе и, с другой стороны, ситуаций в экономике и социальной сфере. В Европе этот подход называют Третьей миссией университетов . В статье рассмотрено использование нескольких типов нечетких гибридных моделей, применяемых при исследованиях взаимодействия вузрегион, обеспечивающих повышение качества оценки его эффективности.

О ТРАКТОВКЕ ЖАНРА PERPETUUM MOBILE В ПЬЕСЕ "АЛЬКАН -ПАГАНИНИ" МАЙКЛА ФИННИССИ

Published: January 2025

Образ perpetuum mobile и феномен движения в целом стали значимы в науке (особенно в механике и физике после попыток создания непрерывно работающего двигателя), в философии (время как непрерывное «потоковое движение», по Бергсону, противоположно жизни как статическому состоянию) и в пространственно-временных искусствах (музыке, танце, в области кино, театра, литературы), чем обусловлена актуальность темы. Композицию «Алькан - Паганини» Майкла Финнисси авторы исследуют в широком контексте (приведены образцы perpetuum mobile, начиная с эпохи барокко) в аспекте трактовки жанра и формы: интертекстуальные комментарии и аллюзии М. Финнисси, взятые из некоторых сочинений Ш.В. Алькана и Паганини, объясняют программный подзаголовок композиции; в качестве критериев членения секционной формы выделены двойные черты, чередование рук, смена гемиол и темпа, паузы, пролонгированные ноты. Особое внимание уделяется виртуозной работе композитора с ритмической оппозицией рациональных и иррациональных длительностей, с принципом тотальной делимости гемиол...

The image of perpetuum mobile and the phenomenon of motion in general have become significant in science (especially in mechanics and physics after attempts to create a continuously running engine), in philosophy (time as a continuous "streaming movement", according to Bergson, is the opposite of life as a static state) and in the space-time arts (music, dance, in the field of cinema theater, literature), which determines the relevance of the topic. The authors explore the composition "Alcan - Paganini" by Michael Finnissy in a broad context (examples of perpetuum mobile, starting from the Baroque era, are given) in the aspect of interpretation of genre and form: M. Finnissi's intertextual comments and allusions, taken from some of the works of Ch. V. Alcan and Paganini, explain the program subtitle of the composition; double features, alternating hands, changing hemioles and tempo, pauses, are highlighted as criteria for dividing the sectional form...

Питер Максвелл Дейвис (1934-2016) - выдающийся британский композитор второй половины 20 века, принадлежавший вместе с Х. Бёртуислом и А. Гёром к так называемой «Манчестерской школе». Основа творчества композитора - работа с заимствованными источниками. На примере концертной увертюры "Антихрист" будут показаны некоторые принципы работы композитора. В связи с тем, что Питер Максвелл Дейвис одним из первых в британской музыке реализовал в своих композициях принципы серийной работы, особое внимание в статье будет уделено анализу звуковысотности и ее смысловым коннотациям.

ORGANISATION OF DEFENSE AGAINST NOMADS IN THE NORTHWESTERN PREFECTURES OF THE HAN EMPIRE (BASED ON HANJIAN BAMBOO SLIPS OF ZHANGYE COMMANDERY)
Authors: GIRCHENKO YEKATERINA A.
Published: January 2025

Bamboo and wooden slips named hanjian dated by the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties (202 BCE - 220 CE) found in the northwestern commanderies of the empire bordering the Xiongnu territories often contain information about numerous conflicts with nomads. Unlike historical chronicles, which record only important historical events and major battles, daily reports on bamboo slips tell more about border clashes and routine tasks of soldiers in watchtowers. The wooden documents, which strictly and in detail recorded individual raids by small groups of nomads, can serve as a source for a detailed analysis of the scale and strategy of the Xiongnu or other nomadic peoples’ invasion of Han territories, the amount of damage caused, and the methods of resisting attacks. This investigation examines documents from the Juyan border outpost in Zhangye County, where the most representative collection of slips dedicated to the daily tasks of border fortresses was found. It is determined that the Xiongnu most often attacked in late spring and early winter, in the pre-dawn or evening twilight. The goals of small attacks were related to enriching food for people and animals, stealing weapons, and destroying fortifications of the Han side. The report form by Han soldiers on past conflicts, methods of preparation for repelling enemy attacks, and professional criteria for service on watchtowers are determined in the article.

Published: January 2025

At the beginning of the 20th century, César Cui made a significant contribution to children’s music, using the musical language of folklore and fairy-tale images. In this aspect, C. Cui’s work is connected mainly with four major opera works, such as “The Snow Bogatyr”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Puss in Boots”, “Ivan the Fool”. The theme of childhood is embodied in the composer’s music in pieces, small choirs and vocal cycles op. 13 and op. 73. The vocal cycle op. 73 is distinguished by individualisation and maturity of style, which generally corresponds to the aesthetic requirements of Russian culture of the early 20th century for the artistic education of a child and the comprehensive development of his/her personality.
Меры снижения кредитного риска в автокредитовании
Authors: Баетова Д.Р.
Published: January 2025

В статье рассматриваются меры, применяемые коммерческими банками и мегарегулятором для снижения кредитного риска, генерируемого в автокредитовании. Возникающие в автокредитовании кредитные риски обусловлены кредитоспособностью заемщика и залоговым имуществом – транспортным средством. В работе приводятся традиционные меры коммерческих банков по управлению кредитными рисками, а также работа банков с бюро кредитных историй. Для минимизации кредитных рисков, уменьшения резервов нецелевые потребительские кредиты банками выдаются под залоговое обеспечение, в том числе с залогом транспортных средств, что позволяет банкам не применять макропруденциальные надбавки, установленные Банком России для ограничения кредитования физических лиц с высокой долговой нагрузкой. Автором указывается, что, несмотря на рост стоимости отечественных и импортируемых автомобилей, рост процентных ставок по кредитам, рост утилизационного сбора, объемы автокредитования и нецелевого потребительского кредитования под залог транспортных средств увеличиваются, в том числе за счет заемщиков с долговой нагрузкой более 50%. Последнее вынуждает мегарегулятора ужесточать требования по макропруденциальным надбавкам и лимитам в автокредитовании.
