Authors: Bintari Intan Galuh , Iswati Iswati , Udrayana Setya B. Udrayana , Bakar Abu
Published: December 2024

Fertility is the success of spermatozoa in fertilizing an egg cell, while hatchability is a number that shows an egg's high or low ability to hatch. This research aims to determine the fertility and hatchability of KUB chicken eggs that have been stored cold by adding carrot juice to the basic diluent Ringer Lactate Egg Yolk. There were 60 KUB chickens divided into two treatment groups, each comprising 30 KUB hens. The group of eggs resulting from artificial insemination used fresh semen with Ringer Lactate diluent (P0), and eggs resulting from artificial insemination used liquid semen, which had been stored for 2 days with carrot juice supplemented with RLKT diluent (P1). The parameters observed were fertility and egg hatchability. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results showed that spermatozoa fertility at P0 was 87.11% while P1 was 56.09%. While the average percentage of hatchability shows a PQ result of 75.69 while P2 is 93.91%, it can be concluded that the fertility of KUB chickens using fresh semen is better than using liquid semen, but the hatchability of KUB chicken eggs using liquid semen is better than that of fresh semen. Further research is needed on the success of using liquid semen in AI applications in KUB chickens.
From Having Sympathy to Showing Empathy for the Demented: A Narratological Study of the Perspectives of Characters with Dementia in Away from Her, Still Alice, and The Father
Authors: Mohseni Hossein
Published: December 2024

The present study discusses the challenge of choosing an appropriate narrative structure for representing the unreliable perspective of characters with dementia in cinematic adaptations. The argument is that the chosen frameworks and techniques should create sympathy and empathy in readers/audience, and the ideal empathetic adaptation should choose narratological frameworks with the lowest level of coherence, narrative distancing and external focalization. As prototypical examples, the study focuses on the cinematic adaptations of three literary texts which treat dementia as their main thematic concern: Away from Her (2007), Still Alice (2014), and The Father (2021). The study employs critical categories and conceptualizations proposed by Per Krogh Hansen regarding unreliable perspectives, as well as the critical views of Gulce Torun, the latter of whom domesticates Endel Tulving’s mnemonic functions of episodic memory in her narratological discussions regarding the rapport between unreliable perspectives and memory. The analysis identifies features of intranarrational, internarrational, and extratextual unreliability as well as corresponding features of semantic, episodic, archival, and constructivist memory in the adaptations.

Published: December 2024

La mayoría de las empresas utilizan las redes sociales como canales de comunicación debido a los beneficios empresariales que pueden proporcionar. Este artículo se centra en el impacto de las redes sociales en una fundación española dedicada a la innovación y la difusión del conocimiento, y en cómo afectan a sus principales eventos y actividades. Examinamos los factores subyacentes a un retuit en Twitter o una compartición en Facebook con el fin de analizar la difusión de los eventos principales de esta fundación. Se realizaron comparaciones con tres modelos estadísticos (regresión estándar y regresión bayesiana con distribución a priori informativa y no informativa). Concluimos que la ventaja que ofrece la metodología bayesiana sobre la clásica se demuestra mediante la incorporación de información colateral, generalmente proporcionada por expertos, lo que permite refinar el modelo y obtener conclusiones que, de otro modo, no podrían ser identificadas. Esta conclusión puede tener implicaciones significativas para las empresas que utilizan redes sociales.
Study of the influence of monetary incentives in conduction of experiments
Authors: Peña Vargas Victor Alberto , Ladrón de Guevara Cortés Rogelio , Gómez Mejía Alina , Velasco Díaz Jorge Enrique
Published: December 2024

The use of monetary incentives in experiments is a subject of intense debate in academic literature, since there is no consensus regarding its suitability as a tool to encourage the participants of an experiment. Several authors consider it essential, others, however, dismiss its use. This article studies the influence that monetary incentives may or may not produce on the results provided by the participants of an experiment.
To this end, an experiment was conducted with 280 university students, which involved forecasting the future value of a financial index. The experiment was comprised of two phases and was applied to two groups of people. Group 1 was formed with 124 students, to whom a monetary incentive for their participation was offered. Group 2 consisted of 156 students, although considering the difference of not offering a monetary incentive, their participation being free and voluntary. This permitted the comparison of results of both groups with the aim of establishing the degree of influence of the monetary incentive. Likewise, taking into consideration that a financial forecast based on the present value was performed, the influence of the anchoring and adjustment heuristics was measured.
Results were analyzed by means of the Mann-Whitney non-parametrical test and the Chi2 test. It can be concluded that the monetary incentive does not have an impact on the participants’ responses, and the influence of the anchoring and adjustment heuristics in the forecasting of the financial index used in the study was confirmed.
A Legal Study on Reappointment of Faculty at Institutes of Science and Technology
Authors:   National Public Law Review, KIM Kwonil , SOHN Jong Hak
Published: December 2024

This study examines the implications of the Supreme Court ruling concerning the dismissal of a faculty member at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) due to the denial of promotion under rank retirement policies. The court affirmed the statutory right of university faculty to fair and reasonable reappointment reviews, highlighting the necessity of clear and rational criteria to ensure faculty stability and autonomy. Rank retirement policies, which mandate automatic dismissal if promotion is not achieved within a specified period, were deemed to unduly restrict the right to reappointment as guaranteed under the principle of statutory protection for faculty. The ruling clarified that promotion evaluations cannot be equated with reappointment reviews and rejected institutional autonomy as a justification for such practices. Additionally, the court highlighted the inappropriateness of applying analogies to rank retirement systems used for military or public officials, given the unique responsibilities of university faculty.
This decision emphasizes the need for transparent and equitable criteria in faculty evaluation processes at science and technology institutes, including DGIST, GIST, KAIST, and UNIST, which are established under specific statutory frameworks. While reinforcing fairness in evaluations, the judgment also calls for a balance between faculty rights and the mission of these institutes to foster advanced science and technology talent. Future legislative developments should establish tailored reappointment and promotion standards that reflect the unique characteristics of these institutions as outlined in their founding acts, harmonizing institutional objectives with legal protections for faculty.

Hiện nay, thu nhận tinh trùng bằng vi phẫu tinh hoàn (Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction – mTESE) là phương pháp thu nhận tinh trùng hiệu quả, an toàn nhất ở nam giới vô tinh không do tắc (NOA). mTESE là kỹ thuật can thiệp tối thiểu, ít gây tổn thương và biến chứng hơn phương pháp TESE. Tuy nhiên, tiến hành mTESE nhiều lần làm tăng nguy cơ tổn thương không hồi phục, tổn thương mạch rộng, gây teo tinh hoàn hoặc suy sinh dục thứ phát. Do đó, trữ lạnh tinh trùng thu nhận từ mTESE giúp người bệnh giảm số lần phẫu thuật, giảm chi phí điều trị, chủ động trong điều trị thụ tinh trong ống nghiệm. Mẫu tinh trùng thu nhận từ mTESE thường có số lượng ít, di động kém, nên thất thoát tinh trùng sau quá trình đông-rã dẫn đến người bệnh phải tiến hành mTESE lại hoặc đông noãn hoặc xin tinh trùng. Vì vậy, đông lạnh mẫu tinh trùng mTESE là một thách thức lớn đối với các chuyên viên phôi học. Tại Bệnh viện Đa khoa Tâm Anh Hà Nội chúng tôi đã tối ưu hoá quy trình xử lý và đông lạnh mẫu tinh trùng mTESE. Từ tháng 03 năm 2022 đến tháng 12 năm 2023 chúng tôi đã thực hiện 64 ca mTESE, trong đó 29 ca tìm thấy tinh trùng (45,3%), 12/29 ca có tinh trùng đã được đông lạnh bằng phương pháp đông tinh ít. Chúng tôi đã tiến hành rã đông 7/12 ca, kết quả 100% các ca có đủ tinh trùng cho ICSI, 9 chu kỳ chuyển phôi trữ được thực hiện với 2 trẻ ra đời khỏe mạnh từ mẫu mTESE rã đông.

A Proof Using Böhme's Lemma That no Petersen Family Graph has a Flat Embedding
Authors: Foisy Joel , Jacobs Catherine , Paquin Trinity , Schalizki Morgan , Stringer Henry
Published: December 2024

Sachs and Conway-Gordon used linking number and a beautiful counting argument to prove that every graph in the Petersen family is intrinsically linked (have a pair of disjoint cycles that form a nonsplit link in every spatial embedding) and thus each family member has no flat spatial embedding (an embedding for which every cycle bounds a disk with interior disjoint from the graph). We give an alternate proof that every Petersen family graph has no flat embedding by applying Böhme's Lemma and the Jordan-Brouwer Separation Theorem.

Lightnings are a natural phenomenon that people have been dealing with since the beginning of time. In terms of the impact on the power grid and electronic devices, they represent a negative effect due to the high energy that the discharge carries with it. As the electric power system is increasingly branched and spread out, the possibility of potential impacts to its elements is also increasing. Lightnings cannot be prevented, but with an adequate knowledge of the mechanism of the discharge, we can influence their control, that is, by properly designing the receiving system and
selecting protective devices, we can largely prevent major harmful consequences. The aim of this paper is to offer an overview of protective devices that protect against overvoltage, surge arresters in the power system. There is an increasing need for automation in the selection of surge arresters, and accordingly the number of software tools that are based on the concepts proposed by the world's leading manufacturers is also increasing. The paper also presents the concept of protection of objects in low-voltage networks, as well as the accompanying software tool for the automated selection of protection zones and lightning protection installations.

Published: December 2024

Turbine blades are integral components of aircraft engines, directly influencing performance, efficiency, and safety. These blades operate under extreme conditions, facing high temperatures, significant mechanical stresses, and corrosive environments. Therefore, the selection of appropriate materials for turbine blades is crucial to ensure their reliability, engine efficiency and longevity. The present paper is focused on modal analysis of the laminate beam in layers’ carbon (mast) / ceramic. In this study, we use the Euler-Bernoulli hypothesis for the fins which considered the fin as a simple beam. The simulation was performed using Ansys software to assess the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the laminated beam under bending loads. The results compared to those of beams made from supper alloys used in aircraft engines. The findings reveal that the laminate composite beam exhibits greater dynamic stability than its alloy counterparts. This enhanced stability suggests that laminated composite materials are particularly suited for high-pressure applications, where performance and reliability are critical. Notably, the composite material with carbon mast (HM) demonstrates superior mechanical properties, including increased rigidity, reduced micro-cracking, improve efficiency and performance of flight engines and increased lifetime. Finally, this study underscores the importance of innovative materials in aeronautical engineering, highlighting the advantages of laminated composites in dynamic applications.

The Problem of World Outlook Compatibility in the Process of Communication
Authors: Vardumyan Atom
Published: December 2024

Any communication, regardless of nature and communicative aspect, supposes an interaction which, first and foremost, is reflected in human worldview, in attitudinal and value- determination systems in particular. Since it is not possible to achieve absolute ideological similarity as well as equivalency of interests, goals, and means of conflict resolution, it can be considered that there exists, in the communicative mode of interaction, a certain extent of contradiction which is implicitly or explicitly expressed in human perception, assessment and response mechanisms. It is the study of these mechanisms that rhetorics, as a system of theoretical and pragmatic tools and methods to achieve a most productive communication and ideological “reconciliation”, focuses. Apart from processing technical-technological devices to carry out debates and discussions, it aims at revealing certain factors conditioning a person’s inner identity and self-determination - significant moral, psychological and value orientations and various expressions of reservedness, biased mistrust and disrespect (in the communication process in particular). In addition, rhetorics offers ways to overcome and “neutralize” the above-mentioned problems in a most expedient manner.

Peculiarities of Public-Private Partnership
Authors: Sargsyan Hayk
Published: December 2024

Publicprivate partnership in all its manifestations has found distribution in the world – as a tool for creating a new infrastructure for organizing public works and services. The dynamics of this process in each country depends on the politics, on the desire to cooperate with business on the basis of economic and social consensus, the position of civil society. The variety of approaches to public-private partnerships, the uncertainty of this concept, are the result of the lack of a unified approach in international documents. Since there is no single approach to the term "public-private partnership", an attempt is made to reflect the most common expressive qualities of this cooperation, which characterizes various forms of interaction between public authorities and the private sector as PPPs.

Exploring the Rise of Transnational Issues (such as Pandemics, Terrorism, and Climate Change) and their Impact on State Autonomy
Authors: Shaukat Rimshah , Zeb Mehnaz , Arbab Saliha , Yousuf Muhammad Tanveer
Published: December 2024

This study examines how pandemics, terrorism, and climate change impact state sovereignty. A quantitative research design was used to gather data from 150 participants, consisting of the general public and government officials of Punjab, Pakistan, through an online questionnaire. Correlation analysis, regression analysis, and t-tests were applied to examine the relationships between these global challenges and state autonomy. The findings indicate that pandemics, like COVID-19, considerably weaken state sovereignty by requiring international cooperation, indicating a strong negative relationship between the impact of a pandemic and state sovereignty. In addition, the regression analysis shows that transnational terrorism limits state autonomy as a result of the imperative for multilateral counterterrorism initiatives and collaborations in international security. Moreover, the results of the t-test show that the states which comply with international environmental agreements reduce state sovereignty to a much greater extent than those which do not, thereby emphasizing the great influence climate change has on state autonomy. The findings suggest that the increasing need for international cooperation in solving global problems is changing the way state sovereignty functions, thereby emphasizing the conflict between national interests and global governance. The research methodology applied very robust statistical techniques to ensure reliable and statistically significant results which would give valuable insights regarding the changing nature of state sovereignty concerning transnational issues.

This study investigates the impact of Pro-Environmental School Culture (PESC) on Green School Implementation (GSI), with Students’ Environmental Awareness (SEA) serving as a mediating variable. The primary objective is to understand how a supportive school culture influences student awareness and the effective implementation of green initiatives. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data were collected from 175 high school students through a structured questionnaire, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings reveal that PESC significantly influences GSI, highlighting that schools with a strong environmental culture are more successful in implementing sustainable practices. Additionally, PESC positively impacts SEA, indicating that a pro-environmental culture enhances students’ awareness of environmental issues. The results further demonstrate that SEA mediates the relationship between PESC and GSI, confirming that increased environmental awareness among students is crucial for the success of green initiatives. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence from Indonesian schools, emphasizing the interconnectedness of school culture, student awareness, and environmental practices. The implications suggest that educational institutions should prioritize fostering a pro-environmental culture to enhance student engagement and promote sustainability. Moreover, policymakers are encouraged to support schools in integrating environmental education and initiatives, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for Indonesia.

The results showed that the compliance behavior of taxpayers, their willingness to negotiate, and the preparation of financial reports based on profit management have significant positive impacts on tax obligations, as measured by voluntary tax compliance. However, the tax morale of taxpayers also has some negative impacts on tax obligations, as measured by voluntary tax compliance. Novelty has found that the compliance of the taxpayers in running their tax obligation is influenced by the taxpayers’ behavior itself. Not because of the rules, but because they running it judging from their economic and financial condition using the Fiscal Policy Approach for MSMEs and the Conceptual Approach viewed from the opinion developed by that tax policy.

Abstract

The study delves into the interplay between Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their influence on customer satisfaction, brand image, and loyalty in the green hotel industry. It highlights the significance of environmentally responsible practices as a key driver of brand perception and customer trust. The research demonstrates how SDG-centric strategies not only enhance a hotel's environmental profile but also bolster its market position by aligning with evolving customer values. This alignment is shown to be imperative in the hospitality sector, where customer choices are increasingly swayed by social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Furthermore, the study explores the dynamics between a strong, SDG-driven brand image and its cascading effects on customer loyalty, underlining the economic and ethical imperatives of sustainable practices in the hotel industry. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the reciprocal relationship between sustainable business practices and customer perception, offering valuable insights for hoteliers seeking to integrate SDGs into their operational models to foster customer loyalty and drive long-term success.

Princípios federativos e a judicialização da saúde na pandemia de Covid-19 no estado do Amazonas
Authors:   , Fonsêca Filho Tercio Vicente Martins da
Published: December 2024

Esta dissertação, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e exploratória, primordialmente através de coleta de dados junto ao Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Amazonas (TJAM), buscou analisar demandas judiciais contra a Fazenda Pública no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19, que tinham, principalmente, como causa de pedir questões relacionadas à assistência à saúde. As demandas judiciais foram examinadas com o fito de tecer avaliações acerca das implicações da pandemia sobre o aumento da judicialização e seus impactos orçamentários e financeiros no sistema estadual de saúde do Amazonas, sob os parâmetros dos princípios federativos e de repartição de competências, aliados à verificação da aplicação da Teoria das Circunstâncias Excepcionais e da Teoria da Justiça nas decisões percorridas. Constatou-se que a judicialização tornou-se uma ferramenta essencial para assegurar o acesso a direitos fundamentais, embora as decisões judiciais apontaram para a divergência dos princípios federativos e da repartição de competências entre os entes federados. Avaliando as implicações das demandas judiciais confrontadas com os princípios federativos, a repartição de competência a luz das teorias jurídicas, como a Teoria das Circunstâncias Excepcionais e a Teoria da Justiça de John Rawls, na fundamentação das decisões judiciais observou-se o fundamento das teorias quando se tratou da flexibilização de normas e procedimentos administrativos em tempos de crise, permitindo que o Estado tomasse medidas extraordinárias para lidar com a emergência sanitária. A falta de coordenação entre os entes federados identificou a ausência de articulação entre estes entes e a falta de respostas concisas e padronizadas para os efeitos da crise, o que contribuiu para o colapso do sistema de saúde município. Palavras-chave: princípios federativos; ; repartição de competências; ; teoria das circunstâncias excepcionais; ; teoria da justiça.
Controle biológico de Ancylostoma caninum de cães utilizando o fungo Duddingtonia flagrans
Authors:   , Valverde Helbert Ananias
Published: December 2024

O controle das parasitoses intestinais nos animais é um dos grandes desafios enfrentados pela medicina veterinária moderna. A presença de parasitos com potencial zoonótico implica riscos significativos à saúde pública, uma vez que determinados grupos populacionais, como idosos, imunossuprimidos e crianças, estão mais suscetíveis a infecções. Nesse contexto, a utilização de organismos biológicos, como fungos helmintófagos, surge como uma alternativa promissora, visando reduzir a carga parasitária em ambientes onde cães convivem e, consequentemente, minimizar os riscos à saúde humana. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficácia do fungo Duddingtonia flagrans no controle da carga parasitária intestinal de cães. Neste estudo, foram utilizados 19 cães adultos, machos e fêmeas, sem raça definida, com idade superior a um ano e peso médio de 11 kg, variando de 2 a 25 kg. Os cães foram divididos em dois grupos e mantidos em canis separados, cada um com aproximadamente 20 m² de área. O primeiro grupo, denominado controle, foi alimentado com uma dieta composta de farinha de arroz e caldo de carne, enquanto o segundo grupo recebeu o tratamento com Duddingtonia flagrans, administrado na dose de 1,0 g por animal por dia, utilizando o produto Bioverm®, que contém 106 clamidósporos do fungo por grama. Todos os animais tiveram acesso à água e ração comercial. Para avaliação da carga parasitária, foi utilizado o método de flotação fecal em solução saturada de NaCl. As coletas de fezes foram realizadas semanalmente, e os resultados mostraram que o grupo controle apresentou uma carga parasitária significativamente maior no solo em comparação ao grupo tratado em alguns pontos de coleta. Apenas ovos e larvas de Ancylostoma spp. foram encontrados. No grupo que recebeu o fungo Duddingtonia flagrans, observou-se um leve atraso no aumento da carga parasitária, sugerindo uma ação do fungo em retardar o desenvolvimento das larvas de nematoides no ambiente, enquanto no grupo controle o aumento foi registrado a partir da sexta semana. Contudo, embora tenha ocorrido uma redução temporária na carga parasitária no grupo tratado, o produto não eliminou completamente a infestação. Esses resultados indicam que, embora o uso de D. flagrans ofereça potencial para o controle biológico de parasitas intestinais, ainda são necessárias pesquisas adicionais para aprimorar sua eficácia e elucidar melhor os mecanismos de ação do fungo em ambientes naturais. Palavras-chave: fungos nematófagos, ancylostoma, bioverm, helmintofago, larva; migrans cutânea, verminose.

Tarsius as Sulawesi endemic fauna continues to experience pressure due to loss of native habitat. This study aims to determine the vegetation characteristics and nest use fidelity of Tarsius sp in Tangale Nature Reserve, Gorontalo. This research used explorative survey method. Data were collected through direct observation of vegetation characteristics by measuring INP which was done by analyzing the vegetation of nest tree locations in sapling, pole and tree forms, while nest fidelity data were obtained by re-observing six nest trees that were successfully identified in 2013. Data were analyzed descriptively quantitatively. The results of vegetation analysis found 14 species that make up the vegetation around Tarsius sp nests with the highest INP found in Grewia koordersiana species. The results of the site fidelity percentage show that 66.7% of tarsier groups still use nest trees that were successfully identified in 2013. The results of the analysis also showed that the condition of Tangale Nature Reserve as a habitat for Tarsius sp has decreased forest cover due to plantation land clearing and Trans Sulawesi Road transportation, causing habitat fragmentation that can threaten the existence of animals in the Tangale Nature Reserve area.
