This experiment investigated how different coagulants affected soymilk-based Rasogolla's flavour, body and texture, colour, appearance, and chemical composition (moisture, dry matter, crude protein, fat, carbohydrate, nitrogen-free extract, ash, and crude fibre). Milk samples were collected from the Bangladesh Agricultural University dairy farm (BAU) to prepare soymilk-based Rasogolla, and Soymilk was prepared at the Dairy Technology Laboratory of BAU, Mymensingh. Cow milk and soymilk samples were coagulated using four different coagulants: calcium lactate, citric acid, lactic acid, and vinegar. The change obtained from fresh cow milk and Soymilk was mixed in a 1:1 ratio to prepare different types of Rasogolla: CLSMR (Calcium Lactate Coagulated Soymilk-based Rasogolla), CSMR (Citric Acid Coagulated Soymilk-based Rasogolla), LSMR (Lactic Acid Coagulated Soymilk-based Rasogolla), and VSMR (Vinegar Coagulated Soymilk-based Rasogolla). The effects of the coagulating agents on the different Rasogolla variants were assessed using both physical and chemical analyses. Physical evaluation focused on sensory attributes such as flavour, body and texture, colour, and overall appearance. Chemical tests measured various parameters, including total solids, moisture content, protein, fat, carbohydrate, ash, and acidity. The study revealed that the coagulating agents had a significant effect (p < 0.05) on the flavour of the Rasogolla samples (CLSMR, CSMR, LSMR, and VSMR) but did not significantly (p > 0.05) affect their body and texture, colour, or appearance. Additionally, the coagulating agents had a highly significant impact (p < 0.01) on the levels of crude protein, fat, ash, nitrogen-free extract, acidity, and crude fibre. However, no notable differences (p > 0.05) were observed in the moisture, dry matter, or carbohydrate content across the Rasogolla samples. Each treatment was replicated three times and collected data were analyzed using (SPSS) software (version 25).

Authors: S. B. Apata, , J. T. Adeniyi, , J. A. Ajiwoju, , K. K. Adeosun,
Published: January 2025

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) has significantly transformed education, necessitating a revision of technology-based teaching methods. The research examines the readiness of in-service teachers in Nigeria for digital transformation in education, emphasising their digital literacy, access to technology, and capacity to incorporate digital tools into pedagogy through systematic literature reviews. The findings reveal a modest level of preparedness: while numerous educators exhibit basic digital abilities, significant deficiencies exist in advanced competences deemed essential for digital pedagogy, such as content production and collaborative online learning. The research delineates significant obstacles like inadequate training, restricted access to digital resources, and infrastructure deficiencies, particularly in rural regions. It also examines the impact of institutional support and professional development initiatives on enhancing teacher preparation. The findings underscore the necessity of focused interventions, such as policies that offer comprehensive digital literacy training, enhanced investments in educational technology, and changes that incorporate technology into teacher education curricula. The study contributes to the expanding dialogue on digital transformation in education and offers pertinent stakeholders strategic insights to enhance the digital readiness of teachers in Nigeria in light of worldwide trends.
Effects of Bans on Prostitution on Prevalence of Induced Abortions
Authors: Kobayashi Takahide , Kobayashi Hiroyuki
Published: January 2025

Background: Prostitutes are at high risk of unintended pregnancy, and induced abortions are widely practised among this cohort.Aims: This study examined the effects of prostitution bans on the prevalence of induced abortions. We focused particularly on the bans on juvenile prostitution, which were introduced by 32 states of Japan between 1975 and 1998.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study employing event-study analyses and a difference-in-difference-in-differences methodology. We compared the changes in numbers of induced abortions before and after the bans were introduced, among women under 20 years of age and among those aged 20―24 years, over states.Results: The number of induced abortions among women under 20 years of age increased after the juvenile prostitution bans were implemented. In the fifth year of implementation, the number increased by 56.79 percentage points (p < 0.001) compared with the previous year.Conclusion: The number of induced abortions among adolescents increased after juvenile prostitution was banned. As to its mechanism, the outcomes of our additional identification suggest that former juvenile prostitutes who retired due to the bans contributed to the increase.

Authors: Koza Gabriela Alejandra , Konrad José Luis , Berdugo Jesús Alfredo , Mussart Norma Beatriz , Hernando Josefina
Published: January 2025

Bubaline production has increased substantially during the last few years, mainly in the northeastern provinces of Argentina. Exploring biometric parameters on bovine productive traits has driven the development of techniques for greater productivity and reproductive efficiency. This work aimed to evaluate live weight (LW), body score (BS), thoracic perimeter (TP), animal (cross, AH) sacrum height (SH), and scrotal circumference (SC) in 12-month-old buffalo males located in two farms in Corrientes Province (Itatí and Empedrado), Argentina. Linear regression and correlation between variables were evaluated. Forty males of the Mediterranean breed, 20 from each herd, were employed. Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance were performed, and the herd was considered a source of variation in a Randomized Block Design. The degree of linear association was verified by Pearson’s test, and linear regression analysis was applied to all the variables explored; Infostat software 2020 was used. The results obtained were LW 323,65±7,01 and 365,5±6,84 k, BS 3,28±0,1 and 3,63±0,1 cm, TP 163,65±1,62 and 169,13±2,56 cm, AH 117,7±0,90 and 125,15±1,37 cm, SH 123,58±1,35 and 126,98±2,13 cm, SC 19,28±0,44 and 21,15±0,69 cm for Empedrado and Itatí respectively. In the farm located in Itatí, the males showed higher LW, TP, HH, and SC values. A significant correlation between LW and TP and LW with AH, SH, and SC was observed in both herds. There were significant values of Pearson’s equation in the correlation between BS and SC in the animals from the Empedrado locality and when considering the animals from both locations, but not in those from the Itatí establishment. The correlation values between BS and SC were 0.37 for the locality of Empedrado, 0.28 for the animals from the locality of Itatí, and 0.33 when evaluating all animals together. It is concluded that exploring morphometric variables from an early age allows the follow-up of the growth and development of the buffalo males selected as future bulls, highlighting the significant correlation of scrotal circumference with the morphometric variables explored. Agroecological characteristics in the Itatí locality were more favorable, possibly translated into a greater body and isometric development of the testicles in the buffaloes of this area.
AI and Indian Dystopias: Cultural Disruption and Ethical Dilemmas in Asur and Ok Computer
Authors: Vanya Goyal
Published: January 2025

This paper seeks to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and cultural disruption in Indian dystopian narratives, with a focus on the shows Asur and Ok Computer. Both series offer compelling insights into how AI reshapes societal structures, ethical paradigms, and human identities in a rapidly evolving technological landscape, particularly in the post-COVID context. Asur blends mythology and technology to depict a chilling dystopia where AI tools like facial recognition and behavioural analysis become weapons for moral and ideological battles. The show critiques the ethical ambiguity of AI applications and highlights the dangers of unchecked technological advancement in a culturally diverse society. It raises critical questions about the relationship between traditional Indian philosophies of dharma and karma and the cold logic of AI systems. In contrast, Ok Computer offers a satirical lens on a future where AI and robotics are deeply entrenched in daily life, questioning the ethics of automation, data governance, and the boundaries of human-machine relationships. The series critiques blind faith in technology, juxtaposing Western models of technological determinism with Indian spiritual perspectives on consciousness and ethical responsibility. This analysis investigates how these narratives reflect the broader anxieties surrounding AI in India, including digital colonialism, socio-cultural disruptions, and ethical dilemmas. By integrating Indian philosophical frameworks with global AI discourses, the paper aims to highlight the unique dimensions of human-machine relationships in the Indian context. Through the lens of Asur and Ok Computer, this paper demonstrates how Indian dystopian fiction engages with pressing concerns about technology and cultural identity, offering critical insights into the evolving dynamics of AI-driven futures.
Understanding Indigenous knowledge of conservation and stewardship before implementing co-production with Western methodologies in resource management: A focus on fisheries and aquatic ecosystems
Authors: Maracle Stafford , Maracle Jennifer , Lougheed Stephen
Published: January 2025

In the face of an increasing global human popula­tion and multiple anthropogenic environmental stressors including climate change, the limitations of relying solely on Western science and ap­proaches to mitigating impacts, conserving bio­diversity, and managing resources sustainably is apparent. Many Indigenous Peoples have lived sus­tainably as part of their respective environments for millennia, passing conservation and manage­ment practices down generations despite coloniza­tion and genocide. Long-standing Indigenous knowledge and philosophies offer alternate world­views that can complement Western con­servation and resource management and may strengthen efforts to restore environmental integ­rity and conserve species and ecosystems. Researchers often tout the co-production of knowledge with Indigenous collaborators using frameworks like the Kaswentha (Two Row Wampum—Haudenosau­nee) and the Etuaptmumk (Two Eyed Seeing—Mi’kmaw) without first seek­ing to understand the foundations of Indigenous knowledge itself, and its deep roots in environmen­tal sustainability. We develop a thesis of the embed­ded relational nature of Indigenous knowledges and the unique strengths and perspectives that must be understood before effective and ethical co-production can be possible. We contend that Indigenous knowledge must be treated as a distinct framework to inform conservation and stewardship of biodiversity and nature, rather than selectively integrating it into Western science. Building rela­tionships with local Indigenous nations will help actualize sustainable practices that are rooted in millennia of empirical data. This will help to pro­mote a shift toward a holistic and relational worldview for more impact­ful conservation action.

Published: January 2025

Introduction
This inaugural column by the Indigenous Food Sovereignty Editorial Circle (IFSEC) in the Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development (JAFSCD) introduces a dedicated section of articles on Indigenous food sovereignty in partnership with First Nations Development Institute (First Nations). The column and the IFSEC reflect both our mission to work toward a more equitable and just food sys¬tem, and JAFSCD’s long-standing commitment to Indigenous food sovereignty, illustrated by the 2019 special issue on “Indigenous Food Sovereignty of North America.” An Indigenous-led editorial circle as part of JAFSCD, IFSEC uplifts Indigenous values and community food system aspirations in academic publishing. As an introduction to the IFSEC, this column will briefly outline the centrality of food, place, and learning in Indigenous lifeways, the main differences between Indigenous and Western approaches to the food system, and some thoughts on the role of Indigenous ways of knowing and being for the collective flourishing of humanity and all our relations, human and otherwise. The cycle of themes, along with other emergent topics related to Indigenous food systems, will thread throughout future columns. The current geographic focus includes the continental United States, Hawai’i, and Canada. The geographic scope is determined by the territorial affiliations of IFSEC members and may broaden to include other nations and regions over time.

Authors: URZAGASTI
Published: January 2025

A numerical method is presented for the deprojection of disk images of normal spiral galaxies and for obtaining their arm structure using the logarithmic spiral model. The method is based on obtaining the points of local maxima and minima of the galactic image intensity fluctuations through a smoothing process with the Savitzky-Golay filter. These points then serve to determine the galactic disk inclination angles as well as the pitch angle of its spiral arms. The method is applied to three galaxies: NGC 4939, NGC 5247 and NGC 157, finding reasonable agreement with other results from the literature

Authors: Junga Anna , Kockwelp Pascal , Valkov Dimitar , Schulze Henriette , Bozdere Philipp , Hätscher Ole , Ahrens Helmut , Marschall Bernhard , Risse Benjamin , Holling Markus
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Traditionally, clinical education has combined classroom theory with hospital-based practical experiences. Over the past 50 years, simulation-based training, particularly virtual reality (VR), has gained prominence for its flexibility and scalability. This article describes the development, implementation and evaluation of a VR-based brain death diagnostic training module at the University of Münster over a three-year period.
Methods: A multidisciplinary team developed the VR scenario to simulate a realistic intensive care unit, in line with German guidelines for brain death diagnosis. The module includes a tutorial and a preparatory video podcast to accommodate varying levels of VR experience. The course maintained its former small-group format, integrating VR to replace a manikin-based brain death examination. A randomized pilot study compared the traditional and VR-based approaches.
Results: Feedback from over 800 students indicated a strong preference for VR training, with a significant increase in perceived competence in brain death diagnosis. The VR module also increased the individual training time and provided more varied clinical scenarios than traditional methods. Continuous feedback led to iterative improvements, including reflex simulations and improved hardware management.
Discussion: The VR-based training was well received, demonstrating its potential to revolutionize medical education by providing immersive, realistic simulations. Challenges such as initial hardware adaptation and high personnel costs were addressed through comprehensive tutorials and structural adjustments. The success of this module has led to the development of additional VR courses, optimizing the use of hardware and justifying the initial investment.
Conclusion: The integration of VR into medical education at the University of Münster has proven effective, enhancing student engagement and competence in brain death diagnosis. The positive outcomes suggest a promising future for VR in medical education, highlighting the importance of innovative tools in the preparation of future medical professionals. Efforts are continuing to broaden the application and accessibility of VR-based training.
Cartas para não morrer: arte como potência de cura do corpo transvestigênere
Authors: Paiva Matteo Nanni de
Published: January 2025

O impulsor desta pesquisa, ou poderia dizer, do mergulho para dentro de mim mesmo, foi registrar e aprofundar os processos criativos e autobiográficos para a criação da intervenção urbana e performance artística, intitulada Cartas Para Não Morrer. Uma principal questão delineou a investigação: o que faz de mim, eu? A qual foi debatida através de cartas e obras de arte, onde propondo reflexões políticas, discutindo gênero, retratando transvestigêneres e incitando assuntos que permeiam como me tornei quem sou e os acontecimentos que refletiram em mim, resultaram no texto e performance final. Tendo a pedagogia da experiência e da expressão artística como forma de comunicação, a pesquisa justifica-se também em seu caráter pedagógico. A apresentação se dá através de cartas e obras físicas, mas que foram digitalizadas para a formação deste documento
Visibilidade e representatividade de mulheres lésbicas em As sereias da Rive Gauche: pioneirismo e desdobramentos na cena teatral do séc. XXI
Authors: Souza Rafaela Jacomini
Published: January 2025

Este trabalho* busca enfatizar a importância da visibilidade e representatividade lésbica nas peças teatrais de São Paulo nos séculos XX e XXI. A peça As Sereias da Rive Gauche (2002), de Vange Leonel, foi tomada como estudo de caso, somando-se às entrevistas com Regina Galdino e Malu Bierrenbach, participantes da montagem. Referências de Butler (2003), Foucault (2014) e Wittig (1980) fundamentam a reflexão sobre a identidade lésbica. Gomillion e Giuliano (2011), Grillo (2019), Nunes (2020), Rea (1996) e Romano (2017) contribuem para associações entre artes cênicas e processos de identidade, permitindo análises da presença lésbica no teatro e abordando o “Teatro Lésbico”. Tratar deste trabalho é importante para não reproduzirmos paradigmas que marginalizam, mas sim ampliam diferentes expressões de vida. O teatro que tem enfoque nas temáticas de As Sereias da Rive Gauche é fértil, pois indica potências estéticas e políticas de ação disruptiva sobre o campo social no Brasil.

O saber a ensinar na base nacional comum curricular e no referencial curricular de Rondônia
Authors: Matos Viana de Almeida Patricia , Guimarães Errobidart Nádia  Cristina
Published: January 2025

Assumimos neste manuscrito que os saberes necessários para o exercício de ensinar, seja no ensino fundamental, médio ou superior, resultam de um processo ontológico, que se inicia antes do curso de formação inicial docente, tal como indicado por Freire (1996), Gauthier et al. (2013), Nóvoa (1992, 2017) e Tardif (2000, 2012, 2014). No processo ontológico, reconstruído no decorrer de uma pesquisa de doutorado, analisamos a Base Nacional Comum Curricular brasileira e o Referencial Curricular do Estado de Rondônia. Com o objetivo estabelecer relações entre os saberes curriculares com os domínios de estudo da transposição didática, identificamos, de forma explícita ou implícita na textualização destes dois documentos, a publicidade, o controle social e a programação da programabilidade do saber a ensinar referente aos modelos planetários. Os resultados indicam que os dois documentos listam praticamente os mesmos saberes curriculares, não sendo consideradas especificidades regionais no documento estadual. A discussão de modelos planetários é indicada para os dois últimos anos do ensino fundamental, discorrendo sobre a configuração atual do sistema solar, sem textualizar o desenvolvimento histórico e epistemológico da teoria científica. No caso do documento estadual, não identificamos saberes regionais, como os relacionados à Astronomia e Cosmologia dos povos originários.
Predicting Academic Success and Identifying At-Risk Students: A Systematic Review of Data Analytics and Machine Learning Approaches in Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Ngulube Patrick , Masumbika Ncube Mthokozisi
Published: January 2025

This systematic review aimed to assess the application of data analytics and machine learning techniques in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to predict student success and identify those at risk of academic difficulty. While previous research has explored these approaches, a comprehensive synthesis of their effectiveness and limitations has been absent. Moreover, addressing issues such as student attrition and inequitable support is crucial given the global commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4, which prioritises inclusive and equitable quality education. A systematic literature review was conducted adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, encompassing four major databases to bridge this knowledge gap. Studies were included if they utilised data analytics and machine learning techniques to predict student success or identify at-risk students within higher education contexts. A quality assessment using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) Checklist was employed to ensure the rigour of the included studies. The review uncovered a diverse range of approaches, encompassing traditional methods such as logistic regression and support vector machines and more advanced techniques like ensemble methods and neural networks. These approaches were applied to various data sources, including administrative, learning management systems, and survey data. The findings underscored the potential of data analytics and machine learning to revolutionise higher education by facilitating the early identification of at-risk students, tailoring support services to individual needs, and optimising resource allocation. Consequently, leveraging these technologies, HEIs can make data-driven decisions to enhance student success, improve teaching and learning practices, and contribute to attaining the Sustainable Development Goals.

ПОСТКОЛОНИАЛЬНЫЙ ДИСКУРС В ДЕБЮТНОМ РОМАНЕ МИХАИЛА ЗЕМСКОВА «ПЕРИГЕЙ»
Authors: Арукенова О.А.
Published: January 2025

Поиск идентичности у русских писателей Казахстана связан с обретениемнациональными республиками независимости. В Советское время писатели любой национальнойреспублики, пишущие на русском, относились априори в «великой» русской литературе и имели всепривилегии русского писателя. Например, Чингиз Айтматов и Олжас Сулейменов, как и многие другиенациональные поэты и прозаики, значились как «русские» писатели. После обретения независимостиписатели казахской национальности, пишущие на русском языке, отказались от роли «русского»писателя, несмотря на то, что в России их до сих пор продолжают называть русскими. В первые годынезависимости казахстанская творческая элита, отличающаяся толерантностью, стала делить писателейпо языку их произведений: казахоязычная и русскоязычная. Дебютный роман Земскова «Перигей»был опубликован в 2007 году в России в журнале «Дружба народов» а в 2008 году в серии «Молодаялитература России» вышла книга, хотя автор является гражданином Казахстана. Несомненно, поискидентичности проявляется в дебютных текстах бессознательно. Например, постколониальный аспектв дебютном романе казахстанского прозаика Михаила Земскова связан с выходом из привычныхрамок и стереотипов. И мы понимаем, что это метафора выхода из Советского Союза. Не зря авторпротивопоставляет СССР и Россию. Цель нашей статьи заключается в выявлении постколониальногодискурса в дебютном тексте М. Земскова «Перигей». Задачи исследования включают анализпоэтики дебютного текста в русле новейших филологических технологий – психоаналитическоголитературоведения, интертекстуальных исследований. А также анализ семантики дебютного текстас точки зрения советского колониализма и постколониального дискурса. В связи с поставленнымизадачами основными методами анализа являются: историко-литературный, структурно-семантический,интертекстуальный, а также методы психоаналитического литературоведения. Актуальность даннойстатьи в том, что роман впервые рассматривается с точки зрения постколониального дискурса.

Cocos nucifera, an herbal plant, has potential in combating diabetes mellitus. The study aims to explore the role of coconut oil (oil from fruit of C. nucifera) in managing diabetes and to investigate the significance of the coconut endocarp, discerning their individual effects and whether the oil’s efficacy is influenced by the bioactive constituents present in the endocarp. The blood glucose-lowering effect was assessed in albino Wistar rats using an oral glucose tolerance test, with metformin as the standard. Various methods were employed to analyze blood glucose levels. Based on the mean blood glucose level, dried endocarp exhibits better activity in lowering glucose (149.25 ± 9.7 mg dL-1) and demonstrates greater percentage glucose reduction (10.23 %) at 30th min. Compared to coconut oil and endocarp, the standard drug is superior. However, considering the rate of the process, the standard drug is superior in controlling the blood glucose level (0.22 min-1) compared to both coconut oil and the endocarp at 0-30th min. The study concludes that dried C. nucifera endocarp extract exhibits a greater hypoglycemic effect compared to coconut oil and the activity of coconut oil may be because of the phytoconstituents of endocarp itself. The study has a future perspective to incorporate the endocarp as part of a nutraceutical.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease that significantly affects individuals and places a considerable burden on healthcare systems globally. This study employs network pharmacology to elucidate the herb Guduchi’s protein interactions in modulating psoriasis pathogenesis. Bioactive compounds of Tinospora cordifolia were gathered from multiple research journals. PubChem CID-associated phytochemical was evaluated for drug likeness according to Lipinski’s “rule of 5” using the Swiss ADME database and the target genes were predicted from BindingDB. Pathway analysis was done through KEGG and network was framed using Cytoscape 3.7.2. The key phytochemicals identified include menisperine, DL-tetrahydropalmatine, methyl linoleate, tembetarine and linoleic acid, and target proteins ADRB1, ADRB2, ADRB3, DRD1, and HTR6 are involved in regulating neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, calcium signaling pathway, serotonergic synapse, cGMP-PKG and cAMP signaling pathway etc., which exhibit a major role in psoriasis pathogenesis. From these interactions, it can be inferred that Guduchi significantly influences the regulation of psoriasis pathogenesis.

Cefditoren pivoxil is used in the treatment of various bacterial infections. It exhibits a strong bitter taste on oral administration. Thus, there is a need that the bitter taste of cefditoren pivoxil should be minimized to such an extent that the oral administration of cefditoren pivoxil would be palatable to patients. The study reported here aimed to develop cefditoren pivoxil granules by dry granulation technique, characterize them for micromeritic properties, to mask the bitterness of the drug and undertake in vitro drug release studies. The pre-formulation studies were carried out using High Performance Liquid Chromatography method. This involved subjecting drug-excipient mixture to high temperature and humidity for a predetermined time. After the stress test the drug content was determined by using HPLC. The prepared granules were subjected to various evaluating parameters of dry its suspension. The optimized formulation showed satisfactory results, including micromeritic properties, taste masking effect and drug release. The dry syrup formulation developed using dry granulation technique, employing various flavouring and sweetening agents could effectively mask the unpleasant taste of the drug in comparison with marketed syrup formulation, while showing similar drug release profile to the marketed formulation.
