Little millet, a minor cereal cultivated in semi-arid regions of India, is renowned for its nutraceutical properties. The endophytic plant growth-promoting bacterial (PGPB) communities help crop plants increase growth and health, endure stress tolerance, and enhance nutrient availability. Seed biotiztion with these endophytic PGPBs can facilitate the host plant to develop a defense against pathogens and challenging environments. Thus the present study aimed to biotize the little millet seeds (var. ATL1) with PGPBs, viz., Bacillus albus LRS2, Alcaligenes faecalis LSB6, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens LAS10 and Bacillus velezensis LLB10 and to evaluate their efficiency by developing as a consortia of these isolates for improved plant growth and development. The seeds were biotized with all the strains individually and as consortia to evaluate their plant growth attributes in vitro and in vivo. The results showed significant differences in vegetative growth parameters and yield attributes compared with the control over consortia biotized seeds. During the panicle initiation stage (27 DAS), the shoot length (59.2, cm), root length (13.9 cm), total plant biomass (1.46 g), number of productive tillers plant-1 (5), panicle length (13.2 cm) and 1000 grain weight (5.12 g), grain yield plant-1 (28.45 g), straw yield (36.21 g) registered more in consortia biotized plants compared to non-biotized plant maintained as control. Thus, the present study confirmed that the inoculation of little millet seeds with the Consortia of indigenous strains could promote plant growth and productivity. Further, the Vol 110|10-12 inoculant can be recommended as a novel bio-inoculant for enhancing crop health and sustainable production in little millet.

Authors: Alvarado María de Lourdes
Published: November 2023

Si bien el estudio de nuestro pasado educativo es relativamente nuevo, pues sus primeros frutos se cosecharon en la década de los ochenta del siglo pasado, dicha disciplina ha gozado de cierta popularidad entro los integrantes del gremio, por lo que en el presente se cuenta con una rica producción sobre distintas materias que, además de contribuir a un mayor acercamiento a la temática educativa y cultural de México, de manera más amplia colabora a proporcionar un conocimiento más certero e integral de la trayectoria histórica del país. La investigación sobre los colegios e institutos que fueron constituyéndose en las distintas entidades de la Federación a raíz de la Independencia no es la excepción de la regla, aunque, en términos generales, los primeros trabajos sobre el tema surgen una década más tarde. Gracias a estos esfuerzos pioneros nos es posible acercarnos a algunas facetas, prácticas e instituciones vertebrales de la vida cultural y educativa regional, sin las cuales resulta difícil, sino imposible, explicarse los procesos históricos locales. María Candelaria Valdés Silva, en el libro El pasado de una esperanza: Los orígenes del Ateneo Fuente, se suma al grupo de académicos que se ha propuesto analizar, comprender y difundir algunos de los capítulos más significativos del pasado educativo de su entorno, entre los cuales destaca su interés por reconstruir la historia de Ateneo fuente, tema de investigación en su tesis doctoral y motivo del presente libro.
Construirnos una casa: los cursos de historia en México
Authors: Laguarda Rodrigo
Published: November 2023

En su libro Historia del siglo XX, Eric Hobsbawm afirma que los historiadores tienen la gran tarea de recordar lo que otros olvidan, en una sociedad que conspira crecientemente contra la memoria. En este sentido, la enseñanza de la historia resulta crucial, pues los sujetos e instituciones que en ellos convergen definen lo que será evocado por los estudiantes en la infancia o la edad adulta. La formación de una conciencia histórica, enseñanza de la historia en México, es un texto que desde diferentes lugares aborda esta experiencia, conocida por todos en el papel de estudiantes y por algunos en el de profesores. Para quienes son maestros de historia, se trata de un conjunto de textos cruciales que, al mismo tiempo cuestionarán e iluminarán su quehacer. ¿Cómo enseñar historia a los historiadores? ¿Cómo enseñar historia a los no historiadores (esto es, a casi todos, quienes desconocen las profesionales sutilezas de la disciplina histórica)? ¿En qué medida los hallazgos del oficio son accesibles e interesantes para la mayoría?, ¿qué implica impartir clases de historia a personas de distintos niveles de estudio (básico, medio, medio superior y superior)? Tales preguntas atraviesan este libro, en el que distintos especialistas reflexionan, desde diferentes lugares, sobre la enseñanza de la historia y estudian casos específicos sobre la construcción del “conocimiento histórico” en las aulas d nuestro país.

Argument structure of cut and break verb in Ezza dialec
Authors: Nkechi Vivian Ezue  , Adaobi Ngozi Okoye
Published: November 2023

Verbs are separated into two classes, namely cut verbs and break verbs. The two classes are distinguished based on the semantic properties of the verbs, which supposedly influences their syntactic behavior. This study examined the argument structure of cut and break verbs in Ezza dialects of Igbo language. A data elicitation session was conducted from the Bohnemeyer video clips. These videos consisted of various scenes, depicting different types of cutting and breaking events. The reading of the verb ‘cut’ in this study describes separation, damage of an object or entity and generally involves the use of a bladed instrument (for example a knife, machete, and scissors) which is used by an agent to carry out the action, finally leading to a separation or a change in the ‘material integrity’ of the object. The cut verbs can participate in different constructions, while the Break verbs have the ability to occur spontaneously without the involvement of an agent. The instruments are indicated by the verbs which refute the claim of linguistic literatures that one distinguishing feature of break verbs is that the type of instrument used for the activity is not denoted.
Comparison of Data Mining Classification Algorithms for Stroke Disease Prediction Using the SMOTE Upsampling Method
Authors: Sebastian Ronald , Juliane Christina
Published: November 2023

Stroke is a circulation disorder in the brain that can cause symptoms and signs related to the affected part of the brain and is the leading cause of death and disability in Indonesia. Everyone is at risk of experiencing a stroke, and it is important to recognize and manage risk factors. Data Mining techniques can help in the extraction and prediction of information, as well as finding hidden patterns in stroke medical data. The dataset used in this research comes from Kaggle and is imbalanced, so the SMOTE Upsampling technique is used to address this imbalance issue. The results of the study conclude that the use of SMOTE technique in the C4.5, NB, and KNN algorithms can increase precision, recall, and AUC. The C4.5 algorithm and SMOTE technique as the best performing algorithm were selected for testing new data, and the results show that the model created can predict stroke risk more accurately than the C4.5 model without SMOTE. However, it should be noted that based on the author's interview with one of the medical practitioners, the model cannot be directly used in medical practice because the observations in the medical field to determine factors related to stroke are highly complex. Thus, a new understanding revealed that predicting stroke in a practical setting is highly complex. While data mining can be used as a predictive tool in the initial stage for predictions in the general population, it is strongly recommended to undergo direct examination by doctors in a hospital to obtain more accurate and comprehensive medical evaluations.

Authors: Ma'arif Ridwan Ahmad , Fauziah Fauziah
Published: November 2023

In recent years User Experience (UX) has become something that must be implemented in making applications. Every application design practitioner has applied this discipline, but often they wonder how to simplify a user's journey flow by using applications and make it easier, faster, and simpler. This research aims to explain a method that can simplify the User Experience comprehensively. RESHOT is used (Refine the challenge, Remove, Shrink, Hide, Organize, Time). This method will make applications pay more attention to aspects that can increase user satisfaction. As a result, this study contributes to an explanation of simplifying the flow of uploading donor data files using the RESHOT method in the X blood donor data collection application. The results of streamlining the flow of uploading donor data files have been tested on five respondents and have a 100% user success rate in completing tasks with an average processing time of 14.5 seconds. In testing, there is a misclick rate of 10.7%. This is because the user wants to explore the designed application. And this is also a limitation of this study, namely not making the overall application design interaction.

Published: November 2023

Strategi sipil Aceh membuktikan bahwa tidak ada pilihan yang mudah saat konflik berkepanjangan terjadi. Kendati pun faktor keamanan menjadi faktor terbesarpelarian, ternyata primordialisme (rasa senasib sepenanggungan) mampu mengalahkan faktor keamanan dan ekonomi. Penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan sosiologi sastra dan dibantu teori strategi sipil ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui strategi sipil Aceh dalam melalui konflik GAM-RI. Untuk mendapatkan data berupa kutipan teks novel yang memuat konsep pelarian, dukungan, dan suarawarga sipil saat terjadinya konflik dilakukan teknik kepustakaan, baca, dan catat. Teknik analisis data dilakukan dengan cara reduksi data, sajian data, penarikan kesimpulan, dan verifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) pelarian dimotivasi oleh faktor keamanan dan ekonomi sehingga warga sipil yang memilih menetap akan mengalami kendala di kedua faktor tersebut. (2) Mendukung GAM dimotivasi faktor cinta dan primordialisme, sedangkan mendukung aparat militer dimotivasi faktor keamanan dan ekonomi. Mendukung GAM berarti mendapatkan siksaan dari pihak militer dan mendukung militer berarti siap dimusuhi oleh mayoritas masyarakat sipil. (3) suara tidak terdengar karena tingginya represifitas militer. Bersuara dan memilih diam tetap mendapatkan berbagai tindakan kekerasan, bahkan bisa saja dibunuh. Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa konflik sipil seringkali merugikan dan mengorbankan orang-orang yang tidak bersalah.

Published: November 2023

Background Contrast-induced nephropathy is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired acute renal failure. The Mehran risk score and the contrast medium volume used/creatinine clearance ratio could help identifying patients at higher risk of developing contrast-induced nephropathy. This study aimed to compare these two scores. Methods A retrospective, single-center observational study including hospitalized patients with baseline creatinine >1.3mg/dL, under observation for at least 48 hours after coronary computed tomography angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention. Mehran risk score and contrast medium volume used/creatinine clearance ratio were calculated for all patients, and the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy was analyzed according to different cutoff points of both scores. Receiver Operating Characteristic curves were plotted to determine the accuracy of the methods in predicting contrast-induced nephropathy. The effectiveness of both methods was analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test. Results We included 102 patients and the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy was 27.4%. The outcome occurred in 24.7% of patients when Mehran risk score ≥6, in 32.7% when Mehran risk score ≥10, and in 57.8% when Mehran risk score ≥15, in 28.7% of patients with contrast medium volume used/creatinine clearance ratio ≥2, 29.8% with contrast medium volume used/creatinine clearance ratio ≥3, and 34.3% with contrast medium volume used/creatinine clearance ratio ≥5. Receiver Operating Characteristic curves demonstrated area under the curve with moderate predictive capacity for Mehran risk score (0.7), and reduced/borderline for contrast medium volume used/creatinine clearance ratio (0.6). The correlation between the two scores was moderate. Conclusion Mehran risk score demonstrated greater accuracy in predicting contrast-induced nephropathy when compared to contrast medium volume used/creatinine clearance ratio, however both presented similar values. The cutoff points with the closest incidence between the two scores were ≥10 for Mehran risk score (32.7%) and ≥5 for volume used/creatinine clearance ratio (34.3%).
Novelistic characters as an analogy of projective life
Authors: Ferrari Enrique
Published: November 2023

María Zambrano positions her poetic reasoning based on the coordinates of Ortega’s vital reasoning: she assimilates it at first, without subjecting it to a rigorous critical analysis, and she later distances herself to bring her poetic reasoning closer to more vitalist positions. On this journey of poetic reasoning, until it finds its definitive location, its metaphysical foundation of the analogy of novel characters as a representation of existential ethics is paradigmatic: in Ortega its development is insufficient, but she (more sensitive to literature) is capable of giving the metaphor more depth, with a bolder analysis, thanks to her understanding of the genre of the novel, which owes nothing to the theory of her master’s novel. She accepts Ortega’s premise that we are unfinished. But she takes the conclusions further to mark the terrain of her poetic reasoning, which rebels against the sacrifice of life to the being: Faced with life as a project, she understands, from Benito Pérez Galdós’ character Nina, that what we have to do to finish doing is not pre-determined. She rejects a programmatic life.
IMPACT OF COVID-19 AND WAY AHEAD FOR KERALA IN MEDICAL VALUE TOURISM
Authors: S Shanımon
Published: November 2023

Medical tourism is a rapidly growing industry with a market size valued at over USD 4.0 billion. The impacts of Covid-19 were felt harshly on the tourism industry, affecting medical tourism. With the economy coming back to normal, the sector is being revived at an even faster pace. India is at a vantage point with diverse culture, demography, and traditional techniques. India has carved out a prominent position in medical tourism with low cost, catering to patients that cannot afford to be in long waiting lines, with state-of-the-art medical care. The quantum of human resources, technological development, and active government intervention, create colossal possibilities to harness this sector. Kerala among other states uses a unique combination of modern and traditional medicine. Foreign-trained medical staff and numerous leisure spots help the state carve out a niche in this highly competitive segment. This paper discusses the boost that medical value tourism could grant Kerala and why this sector could be a significant revenue generator. Based on published data, the study discusses factors that make Kerala a hub for medical tourism, and trends and inflow of medical tourists. Out of the total number of Foreign Tourist Arrivals, the number of tourists arriving for medical purposes was 182,945. Despite a fall of 75 - 80% in Foreign Tourist Arrivals during the first two years (2019-2021) of the pandemic, hospitals in Kerala are making a comeback. For Kerala, the path of recovery is being made possible with changed marketing strategies and innovation to bring in more tourists. The article also discusses the concept and possibilities of Tourism 4.0 specifically, AI-driven telemedicine. The result of the article shows the impressive pace at which the sector is making a comeback and a positive impact on developing economies.

In recent years, the development of international branch campuses (IBCs) has been attracting the focus of many researchers. It is regarded as the "fastest growing form of transnational higher education" (Wilkins, 2013) and is expected to flourish continuously in an era characterised by globalisation and neoliberalism. Originally, Western countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, etc. are the main providers of IBCs. Recently, Asia has recently gradually absorbed a significant portion of the global IBC market (Knight 2013). This paper examines the motivations behind this shift and takes a look at the current landscape of IBCs in Asia.
Loneliness and Fulfillment of Basic Psychological Needs of International Post-graduate Students in the UK
Authors: Yang Yixuan
Published: November 2023

Loneliness is a subjective undesirable experience due to a lack of social connections, which is common in human beings but may lead to various negative impacts on mental health (Park et al., 2020; Perlman & Peplau, 1981; Yang et al., 2022). In the current study, data were collected from both an online survey and follow-up in-depth interviews (n=15) to examine the perception and feeling of loneliness in international students in the UK, since they are from a group that is sensitive to loneliness whereas their needs are overlooked (Church, 1982; Girmay & Singh, 2019; Jacob & Greggo, 2001; Xiong et al., 2022). Given previous literature that loneliness is associated with intrinsic motivation which is critical to one’s mental wellness (DiTommaso et al., 2003; Gallardo et al., 2018; Henning et al., 2021; Lin & Huang, 2012; Ryan & Deci, 2020), the impact of international students’ loneliness on their fulfillment of basic psychological needs including autonomy, competence, and relatedness, was investigated in the current study as well (Gagné & Deci, 2005).The key findings of this study were that loneliness was a prevalent problem in international students who studied and lived in the UK from the academic year 2021 to 2022. The triggers of loneliness predominantly included the lack of social connection, a sense of alienation, and helplessness and stress in facing difficulties. They mostlycoped with loneliness via seeking social connections and distracting their thoughts, in which seldom of them chose to turn to professional mental health services. Additionally, their attitudes toward loneliness were double-sided. Finally, a significant and negative correlation between loneliness and the fulfillment of basic psychological was revealed. However, according to the qualitative findings, a causational and bidirectional relationship between them was suggested for future research.This study aims to offer insights into future university policy and more appropriate assistance for international students’ learning and life in the future.
"Rapid Diagnosis of Dengue: A Crucial Tool in Global Healthcare"
Authors: Castillo Nicolas
Published: November 2023

This article explores the fundamental importance of implementing rapid tests in the diagnosis of dengue, emphasizing their essential role in early detection and efficient management of this mosquito-transmitted disease. These tests, based on the detection of viral antigens or specific antibodies, not only provide results in record time but also constitute a significant contribution to global healthcare.Rapid tests offer an immediate response, allowing timely medical intervention that can make a difference in the clinical course of the patient. Their ability to identify the virus in the early stages of infection is crucial, not only for individualized care but also for mitigating the spread of dengue at the community level. Moreover, by distinguishing between virus serotypes, these tests provide a more precise perspective for the application of therapeutic and preventive strategies. The accessibility and simplicity of rapid tests become key elements for their positive impact, especially in resource-limited settings. The swift availability of results not only accelerates clinical decision-making but also facilitates the collection of crucial epidemiological data. This information contributes to the strategic planning of public health authorities, enabling a coordinated and efficient response to dengue outbreaks and epidemics.The widespread adoption of rapid tests in dengue diagnosis emerges as a fundamental pillar in global healthcare. Their ability to provide rapid and accurate results, their role in early detection, and their contribution to efficient management make these tests an invaluable tool in the fight against this prevalent disease, redefining how we approach the diagnosis and treatment of dengue on a global scale.

Benzodiazepines are commonly used drugs to treat anxiety in witnesses of crimes. These increase GABA inhibitory effects, which impairs aversive memory encoding and consolidation. Eyewitness memory is essential in justice. However, memory is malleable leading to false memories that could cause a selection of an innocent in a lineup. Here, we studied whether a low dose of Clonazepam impairs memory encoding as well as consolidation of memory faces and narrative of the event. We performed two experiments using a double-blind design. Day 1: subjects watched a crime video and received Clonazepam 0.25 mg (CLZ group) or placebo (PLC group) before (Exp. 1) or after the video (Exp. 2) to assess the effect on encoding and consolidation. One week later, the memory was assessed using a present and absent target lineup and asking for a free recall. Regarding encoding, we found that the CLZ group recalled significantly fewer accessory details on day 8, while central details did not differ between groups. No differences were found for recognition. Regarding consolidation, in the absent lineup, we observed a trend indicating that Clonazepam negatively impacted on correct rejections, leading to more innocents being chosen. These suggest that a low dose of Benzodiazepine modulates memory encoding and consolidation impacting on the statement and the lineup selection. More studies should be performed with higher doses of CLZ similar to those administered in real life. These results are relevant in the judicial field to assess the reliability of the eyewitness elections.
Both personal and shared taste shape impressions from voices and faces

Voices elicit rich first impressions of what the person we are hearing might be like. Research stresses that these impressions from voices are shared across different listeners, such that people on average agree which voices sound trustworthy or old and which do not. However, can impressions from voices also shaped by the ‘ear of the beholder’? We for the first time investigated whether - and how - listeners’ idiosyncratic, personal preferences contribute to first impressions from voices. In two studies (993 participants, 156 voices), we find evidence for substantial contributions of personal taste to voice impressions using a variance portioning approach. Overall, personal taste often contributes as much as shared taste to impressions from voices for social and trait characteristics (e.g., trustworthiness, friendliness). Shared taste is only more influential for impressions of physical characteristics (e.g., gender, age). Contributions of both personal and shared taste were reduced when stimuli were limited in their (perceived) variability, suggesting that natural variation in voices is key to understanding this impression formation. When comparing voice impressions to face impressions, we show that personal and shared taste contribute similarly across modality when stimulus properties are closely matched - although voice impressions were overall less consistent than face impressions. We thus reconceptualise impressions from voices as being formed not only based on shared but also personal taste. We use this new framing to suggest future directions of research, including understanding idiosyncratic mechanisms, development, and malleability of voice impression formation.

We investigated the role of 'seriousness' - the moral weight of dishonest acts – as a relevant underlying dimension which can influence associations with key predictors Honesty-Humility and descriptive social norms in higher education. Specifically, we aimed to demonstrate that Honesty-Humility has a stronger negative association with behaviors perceived as more serious, whereas descriptive social norms show a stronger positive association with less serious behaviors. This was assessed in a sample of 856 university students who completed two anonymous surveys at the beginning and the end of a university semester in a nation-wide study. Using multiple methodologies (i.e., cross-validation with independent sample, multi-dimensional scaling, cross-validation with judgements of perceived seriousness by independent raters), we found that seriousness of dishonest behaviors can be consistently and validly measured with observed prevalence. This approach to the measurement of seriousness is especially valuable as it does not require additional effort by the researcher. As predicted, structural equation modeling showed that Honesty-Humility was more strongly associated with serious behaviors, while descriptive social norms were more strongly associated with non-serious behaviors. Taken together, our findings underscore the theoretical significance of seriousness in its role as a key underlying dimension of the academic dishonesty construct. We also offer practical insights based on these findings for the development of more targeted prevention efforts.
