Background: World Health Organization reports that the safest blood donors come from low-risk communities and donate blood freely and for free. The student population that is healthy, active, and receptive may donate blood to meet the demand for safe blood. We aim to determine the prevalence of blood donation among the students and employees of Almaarefa University.
Methods: A cross-sectional study targeting Almaarefa University staff members and students was carried out in collaboration with the National Guard Hospital, Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Data was gathered via a straightforward questionnaire. The primary requirements for participation were: being medically healthy, older than 20 years old, weighing more than 55 kg, having a hemoglobin level of more than 11 mmHg, and have not donated blood in the past 60 days.
Results: The majority of the volunteers were male (59%), weighing 55-65 kg (44.6%), from the age group of 20-22 (76.4%), and 66.2% of them were Saudis. Further, 46.5% were from the College of Medicine. A statistically significant association was found between gender and weight (p-value = 0.001).
Conclusion: To increase the frequency of blood donation, it is necessary to develop specific programs with interactive blood donation awareness workshops that target youngsters and encourage them to become regular volunteer blood donors. Exploring and evaluating barriers to blood donation, especially for women, is essential. Efforts must be made to put the information and encouraging attitude toward contribution into practice.

Ikan cupang merupakan salah satu ikan hias yang hidup di air tawar yang juga merupakan salah satu jenis ikan hias yang mempunyai keunikannya sendiri. Keunikan yang dimaksud adalah ikan cupang memiliki kegemaran untuk bertarung dengan sesama jenis, oleh karena daya agresifitasnya yang sangat tinggi. Menurut data dari litersai kelautan ikan cupang juga merupakan salah satu komoditas ikan hias yang sangat digemari di tanah air maupun luar negeri. Dilihat dari peningkatan ekspor yang cukup signifikan menunjukan bahwa dalah periode 2015-2020 nilai ekspor ikan cupang rata-rata mencapai USD 65,128 atau rata-rata tumbuh 64,80% oleh sebab itu banyak sekali UMKM cupang yang meningkatkan jumlah produksi bulanannya dimana bisa menghasilkan 200-400 ekor. Dan di sini penulis melihat proses pencuci toples yang masih dilakukan dengan cara manual sehingga setiap harinya pegawai tersebut menghabiskan waktunya 4 jam hanya untuk mencuci toles ikan, karena ada sekitar 200-250 toples yang harus dicuci. Dan waktu mencuci 1 toples adalah 45-50 detik. Maka dari itu penulis berniat untuk membuatkan sebuah alah pencuci toples yang nantinya dapat mempercepat pekerjaan. Alat ini dirancng menggunakan metode VDI 2221 dan TRIZ.

Predicting Academic Difficulty Among First-Semester College Students
Authors: Shields David
Published: May 2023

Higher education retention research has taken on renewed importance in recent years with support for standardized entrance exams waning and student loan debts commanding social and political attention. Economic pressures have further exasperated college attrition and push researchers to better identify at-risk students before they experience academic difficulty. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive quality of precollege academic motivation, self-efficacy for learning, learner autonomy, and perceived social support on first-semester academic outcome. Participants completed established surveys assessing the four variables prior to the start of the Fall 2021 semester. Fall semester academic outcome was obtained at the conclusion of the semester with students naturally differentiating into one of two categories: satisfactory academic standing or academic probation. Discriminant analysis was performed to determine if the four predictor variables could reliably predict first-semester academic outcome. Results indicated that the variables could accurately predict first-semester academic outcomes with 77.8% classification accuracy. Academic motivation was found to have a negligible predictive impact with self-efficacy for learning, learner autonomy, and perceived social support maintaining the same predictive accuracy in its absence. Implications for admissions and academic support practice are discussed.

The Funeral for the Lawful Wife of a Feudal Lord in Early Modern Japan : A Case Study of the Lawful Wife of Harushige NABESHIMA, a Lord of the Saga Domain
Authors:   The Korean Association For Japanese History, Kim Na-Young
Published: May 2023

In early modern Japan, lawful wife of daimyo lord was regarded as belonging to both the families of husband and her premarital family. This study wanted to examine whether such a dual belonging system of lawful wives of daimyo lords was also expressed in their funerals. In particular, this study focused on whether both the husband family and premarital family played respective roles in funerals of lawful wives, and whether there were some procedural differences in funeral services depending on social statuses of lawful wives. The research objects of this study were the funerals of wives of Harushige NABESHIMA, the lord of Saga Domain. Among their three wives who died, one was his fiancee who was from the family of a branch domain of Saga Domain. And, one of the two lawful wives was from kuge(公家), and the other was from buke(武家).
In the funeral of his fiancee, while some officials of Saga Domain attended, the rite was held according to the rules of the family of the deceased fiancee. However, in the cases of funerals of lawful wives, the rites were held following the traditions of the Saga Domain. There was some difference in the degree of involvement of premarital families of lawful wives depending on whether the deceased wife was from kuge or from buke. In the former case, premarital family representatives participated only in the memorial service. But, in the latter case, those representatives visited Saga Domain to see the sick wife before she died and to see her coffin off, not to mention participating in the memorial service. In short, buke was involved in the funeral more actively than kuge. But, it was found that such funerals had been held led by the husband’s family tradition, and that dual belongings of lawful wives did not show much in their funerals.
The Intellectual Exchange between Korea and Japan under the Field of Asian Cold War in the 1970s and 1980s
Authors:   The Korean Association For Japanese History, Kim In-Soo
Published: May 2023

In the late 1970s, The Asiatic Research Center (ARC) and The Japan Center for International Exchange (JCIE) launched the Korea-Japan Intellectual Exchange (KJIE). The KJIE aimed to promote genuine reconciliation between Japan and Korea, and emphasized cooperation between the two countries by highlighting security and economic agendas. To fully understand the significance of the KJIE, it is important to note three things: First, the ARC and the JCIE were established under the auspices of the Rockefeller Foundation and the Ford Foundation, respectively, and the KJIE also received significant financial support from these private foundations. Second, the participants of the KJIE were mostly U.S. PhDs and communicated in English papers that applied U.S. social science theories and methodologies. Third, the KJIE was modeled after the U.S.-Japan Intellectual Exchange (“Shimoda conference”). The Shimoda conference was based on the idea that the United States and Japan, who had met as enemies in World War II, would put aside their enmity for the sake of security and economic interests to create a relationship of friendship and goodwill. KJIE applied the idea of the Shimoda conference to the relationship between Korea and Japan. KJIE discussed ways to avoid industrial competition between Korea and Japan and to strengthen Japan’s role against the threat of North Korea. The KJIE was influenced by U.S. interests in strengthening Japan's role in the declining U.S. hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region. However, for this initiative to succeed, Japanese self-controls and changes were essential. Some of the Korean intellectuals who participated in the KJIE were distrustful and did not recognize Japan as a model-state to emulate. Intellectual exchange between Japan and Korea was fraught with discord. This article uses materials from the Rockefeller Archive Center to reveal these facts.

Published: May 2023

Nutritional status and stunting are problems in several countries, including Indonesia. Calcium is one of the important micronutrients to prevent stunting, and the immune system can act as a second messenger of lymphocytes to maintain the body's immune response. Calcium in eggshells can be processed into boba which is popular in the community. This study aims to examine eggshells as a high-calcium food source to prevent stunting and help increase immunity. This research is a Literature Review of open access articles published in 2016 - 2021 on Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. Duplicate reports were excluded from the study. The keywords used in searching the journal in the database are eggshells, calcium, stunting, immune system, and popular foods. Research shows that every gram of eggshell contains 381 mg of calcium. Adequate calcium intake supports increasing height, maintaining bone health, and preventing stunting. Increased intracellular calcium is essential for the steps of intracellular signaling that induce proliferation, cytokine production, and regulation of several transcription factors. Eggshells can be safely consumed if they are kept for 20 minutes and finely ground with the high calcium content. High calcium boba from eggshell flour can prevent stunting and boost the immune system.

One of the plants found in East Kalimantan is the Drancotomelon dao (sengkuang) plant. Previous tests demonstrated the presence of anti-inflammatory activity of D. Dao leaf extract through the reduction of proinflammatory mediators such as TNF-?, IL-1?, and IL-6 which were induced by bacteria. This study aims to determine the anti-inflammatory activity of the methanol extract of the stem bark of the Sengkuang plant in a rat model of rheumatoid arthritis induced by complete freund's adjuvant (CFA) to determine the anti-inflammatory potential of other parts of the sengkuang plant. In this test, rat models of rheumatoid arthritis induced using CFA were divided into 4 treatment groups: negative group (NaCMC), positive group (methyl prednisolone), test group 1 (sengkuang extract 50 mg/KgBW/day), test group 2 (lengkuang extract). 200 mg/KgBB/day). Observation of its anti-inflammatory effect was observed for 14 days. Analysis of the data in this study used a one-way ANOVA with joint thickness dependent variable and zinc dose independent variable. Sengkuang extract at doses of 50 and 200 mg/KgBW/day can reduce joint thickness in animals induced with CFA. The activity of reducing joint thickness showed significance in zinc extract at a dose of 50 mg/KgBW/day on the 14th day. Methanol extract of sengkuang has anti-inflammatory activity in CFA-induced rheumatoid arthritis rats at an optimal dose of 200 mg/KgBW/day, has an anti-inflammatory effect that is good enough to reduce edema volume in arthritis rats.

Published: May 2023

Formation water is a by-product of oil and gas processing. This formation water is very different from fresh water because formation water contains harmful chemicals and other elements contained in oil or gas. To prevent formation water from contaminating the environment, it is necessary to reduce the formation water content using an adsorbent. Some of the parameters that indicate reduced mineral and chemical content that must be considered for this research are pH, TDS (total dissolved solid), SG (specific gravity), and salinity values. In this study observed changes in these parameters with the administration of adsorbents. Two types of adsorbents used are bagasse and bentonite. The parameters of pH and TDS were measured using litmus paper and TDS paper respectively. While SG and salinity were measured using a salinity hydrometer. The process of giving the adsorbent causes a decrease in these four parameters. The addition of 3 grams of bagasse caused the pH, TDS, SG, and salinity of the formation water to decrease to 7.8, 3086 ppm, 1008 and 12 ppt, respectively. While the addition of 3 grams of bentonite caused these four parameters to decrease to 7.8, 2720 ppm, 1010 and 14 ppt respectively.

Published: May 2023

The present work studies the effect of adding woven E-glass fibers [0°/90°], 16 layers with 50% weight fraction to pure epoxy (matrix) on fatigue behavior under constant and variable loadings. The CNC water jet cutting machine was used to cut the composite samples with five fiber direction angles, such as (0°, 5°, 15°, 30°, and 45°). The tensile test was used to determine the composite material’s mechanical properties. The results showed that the composite material with 5° of fiber direction had the highest ultimate tensile stress, i.e., 353 MPa, and the highest Young's Modulus, i.e., 11940 MPa, compared to other samples with angles of (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°) of fiber direction. The sample with 5° angle was adopted in constant and variable fatigue loading tests. The fatigue test results under constant loading showed a 24.8 times fatigue strength improvement for composite material at 107 cycles compared to pure epoxy. The fatigue test under variable loading was conducted with two types of sequence loading program tests at a constant number of cycles at each stress level: high-low sequence loading with stress of 170-130 MPa with 10,000 and 20,000 cycles for each stress level and low-high sequence loading with stress 130-170 MPa with 10,000 and 20,000 cycle for each stress level loading and so on to failure. The results showed that the fatigue life under high-low sequence loading for both 10,000 and 20,000 cycles was less than that of the low-high sequence loading. Also, the results showed that Miner's rules were safe to calculate the damage of composite material used in this work where the damage was above one (D > 1).
Post-globalization and political archaization in Russia
Authors: Erokhov Ilya
Published: May 2023

The purpose of the article is political and philosophical insight into the problem of global disintegration - the main characteristic of the modern stage of international relations, which the author of the work suggests naming a “post-globalization”. The author substantiates the hypothesis about the completion of globalization and the beginning of a post-global period in international relations. The article also reveals the thesis about archaization of politics in modern Russia as a reaction to the beginning of post-globalization. The work contains a methodology paragraph which enunciates the concept of two typical forms of reaction to postglobal changes in international relations. This theory serves as a methodological basis for the applied analysis and the conclusion that archaization of politics has converted Russia from a global power to a regional country. In a wide historical sense, archaization of Russia’s politics proves that the post-Soviet period has been completed in post-Soviet states. Globalization, which is understood as a global integration process, has been completed. In global politics and economics, a centrifugal ideology of disintegration and separation, manifested in a dramatic self-isolation of countries and the beginning of a new “enclosure” of national socio-economic systems, has replaced the strategies of unification. Russia has responded to the current international situation with archaization of both external and internal policies. This path is strategically wrong, and speaks for a degradation of the country’s politics. Improper political reaction to post-globalization has already driven Russia out from the top-list of the countries of influence to the regionally significant countries whose influence is more prominent within their region. The research subjects the author takes as a basis - post-globalization and archaization of Russia’s politics - haven’t been studied sufficiently enough in Russian world literature. At the same time, these problems seem to be urgent, since the author comes to the conclusion that Russia is not ready for the post-global epoch.   
Contextual dependence of the effectiveness of political and legal institutions functioning and the implementation of social transformations
Authors: Ravochkin Nikita Nikolaevich , Bobrikov Valerii Nikolaevich
Published: May 2023

The authors consider the issues of modern political and legal institutions functioning. The research subject is the processes of renewal and formation of political and legal institutions in their connection with social context (sociosphere). Special attention is given to three political and legal institutions of modern globalizing society - political parties, mass media and social organizations, associations and movements. The authors describe the stages of societies’ evolution and note the basic set of criteria and parameters which allow classifying countries according to the stage of their development. The authors consider the transformations happening to the above mentioned institutions in Western Europe and the U.S., i.e. the global core countries. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the revelation of contextual linkage when defining the effectiveness of functioning and vectors of transformation of political and legal institutions and their practices.

Ideological concept of “fear”: nominative field of the concept (based on the material of V. P. Astafyev’s “The Cursed and Killed”)
Authors: Matantseva Marina Borisovna
Published: May 2023

The goal of this research consists in determination of structural-semantic peculiarities of nominative field of the concept of “fear” in the text of a military novel. The emotional concept implies the element of structured knowledge characterizing sensualistic world of a person through the prism of his inner experiences, senses and psychological traits. The research us based in the novel “The Cursed and Killed” by a Siberian writer V. P. Astafyev. The choice of this compositions for interpreting the phenomenon of fear is substantiated by the theme of the novel, high emotional and psychological tension of the text. Methodological framework contains the key positions of the nominative field theory of the concept, according to which the concept as a mental unit may be revealed through the analysis of means of its linguistic objectification. It is established that the structure of nominative field of the concept of “fear” in the text of military novel is heterogonous. The core includes the key word of fear and its linguistic synonyms, derived from them lexemes with procedural and attributive semantics. The individual authorial nominations of the emotion in question, as well as descriptive and explicative indications of fear. The detail of linguistic representation of the concept allows speaking of high density of nominative field of the concept, as well as communicative relevance of the concept of “fear”. As a result of linguocognitive interpretation of nominative field of the concept, fear is defined as a multidimensional mental formation serving as a distinct means of authorial perception of war.
Brightness as a significant component of the verbs of lexical-semantic group “fluorescence”
Authors: Avdeeva Mariya Denisovna
Published: May 2023

The author meticulously examines such aspects of the topic as the phenomenon of light in language based on the analysis of definitions and contexts of employment of verbs in the lexical-semantic group “Fluorescence”. The article analyzes the verb lexical units that convey the meaning of bright fluorescence in the English and Russian languages. These are the verbs for steady-state fluorescence; verbs for a single-stage brief light effect; and verbs designating multiple manifestation of bright light. The study of factual material is carried out with the use of a set of methods and approaches, including the analysis of dictionary definitions and components analysis. The basic verbs for designation of fluorescence and components of their meanings are determined in the lexical meanings of verbs of Russian and English languages. The main components indicate the capability to radiate light, capability to reflect light, degree of intensity of radiance, combination of light and shine, inconsistency or consistency of manifestation of indication. The novelty of this work consists in the examination of peculiarities of objectification of the phenomenon of light in the English and Russian languages; as well as in the proof that the idea of bright fluorescence is significantly reflected in linguocultural knowledge, since this component of meaning is established in majority of verbs designating light. The specificity of this component is defined by the fact that “high intensity of radiance” intersects with other components of meaning, and slightly depends on capability of an object to radiate or reflect light.

Bowen’s disease or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ is precancerous skin lesion, distributed mostly in sun-exposed body areas, more common in older age groups and had small probability to progress into invasive SCC. We reported 26-year-old female with painful abscess-like mass surrounded by inflamed skin on her left heel. Lesions fluctuated and contained pus-like fluid. Excisional biopsy was performed, and from histopathology result, it was concluded as Bowen’s disease with chronic inflammation which formed an abscess clinical feature. Due to its many variants and its tendency to malignant lesions, Bowen’s disease should not be underestimated.

Novel information technologies (ITs), such as mobile devices and third-party cloud services, offer users an increasing variety of action possibilities, i.e., affordances. Organizational IT policies, however, often specify their actualization—i.e., turning those affordances into action—as undesired. Organizations face the challenge that to reach their goals, employees still frequently take advantage of these affordances by using undesired ITs and thereby deviate from IT policies. Although prior work has extensively studied how goal-oriented users actualize affordances that are associated with outcomes that support organizational goals, little attention has been paid to the structures, mechanisms, and conditions underlying affordances that deviate from organizational IT policies. We conceptualize these affordances as deviant affordances. Leveraging the orders of change framework and using a multimethod research design integrating interview and experimental studies, we identify three key mechanisms underlying deviant affordances—i.e., tension, deadlock, and actualization mechanisms—that can link together to produce a deviant outcome supporting both the users’ individual goal and an organizational goal. Our work explains the importance of users’ perceived deadlock in stimulating the generation of deviant outcomes that support organizational goals through improving task, contextual, and innovative job performance.
