Authors: Jin-xiao Liang  , Gao Wei , Wei Wei-tian , Yang Xun , Liu Jin-shi
Published: March 2023

Objective: To identify the mechanism of down-regulation of Lewis Y antigen caused by X-ray irradiation.
Method: The present original research study was conducted at Zhejiang University City College, Hangzhou, Republic of China, from 2020 to 2022. Western blotting, Co-immunoprecipitation (CO-IP), electrophoretic mobility shift assay and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) were performed to confirm the effect of X-ray irradiation on A549 cell proliferation and its mechanism. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 11.5.
Results: The expressions of fucosyltransferase IV and Lewis Y were decreased after X-ray irradiation, thus inhibiting the proliferation of A549 lung cancer cells. Deoxyribonucleic acid damage caused by the irradiation caused higher level of poly- adenosinediphosphate-ribosylated Specific Protein 1(SP1), and translocation of SP1 from the nucleus, decreasing the expression of fucosyltransferase IV and Lewis Y.
Conclusion: There was a significant role of glycosylation in radiation therapy for lung cancer.
Key Words: Fucosyltransferase 4, SP1, X-ray, Lung cancer, Cell proliferation.

Published: March 2023

Objectives: To estimate the incidence and prevalence of deep venous thrombosis, and to evaluate the discriminative capacity of D-dimer in its diagnosis.
Method: The prospective, observational study was conducted at the critical care unit of a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan from February to September 2021 and comprised consecutively admitted adult critically ill patients who were receiving therapeutic-dose anticoagulation therapy. All patients were screened on day one for deep venous thrombosis by colour doppler and compression ultrasonography. Patients who did not have deep venous thrombosis on the first scan were followed every 72 hours. Data was analysed using SPSS 26.
Results: Of the 142 patients, 99(69.7%) were male and 43(30.3%) were female. The overall mean age was 53.20+/-13.3 years. On the first scan, 25(17.6%) patients had deep venous thrombosis. Of the remaining 117 patients, 78(68.4%) were followed every 72 hours, and 23(29.48%) of them developed deep venous thrombosis. The most common site for DVT was the common femoral vein 46(95.8%) and most deep venous thrombosis cases were unilateral 28(58.33%). D-dimer levels showed no discriminative capacity for diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (p=0.79). There were no significant risk factors for the development of deep venous thrombosis.
Conclusion: There was a high incidence and prevalence of deep venous thrombosis despite therapeutic-dose anticoagulation therapy. The most common affected site was the common femoral vein and most deep venous thrombosis were unilateral. D-dimer levels had no discriminative capacity for the diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis DVT.

Recently, ‘Arte Museum’ has been gaining popularity. In this study, the direction pursued by the 'Arte Museum' was found to be in 'site-specific art', which reveals the place and considers the audience's reaction to be a formative element in completion element of the work. This study compares the way in which the place of 'Jeju' is expressed in the Jeju Arte Museum with the method of expression in the Yeosu and Gangneung Arte Museums. In doing so, the study attempts to uncover what exhibition contents are needed to continuously develop the Jeju Arte Museum. To this end, this paper explores the characteristics of 'Arte Museum' through theoretical discussions on 'site-specific art' and examines place and audience in the exhibition contents of Arte Museum in Jeju, providing comparisons to the Yeosu and Gangneung cases. A scenography approach is adopted to reveal the place of Jeju and which is recognized as an approach for inducing specific reactions from an audience, specifically focusing nature and cultural heritage, as a framework for analysis. Through this, we compare the difference in the way Yeosu and Gangneung reveal the space of place and the audience, and we investigate whether these places have succeeded in establishing themselves in the context of site-specific art with the potential to transform the region. Through this, it is intended that we can learn more deeply about the effect of local culture in the case of the successful mobilization of audiences, specifically while utilizing local nature and heritage of interest to locals.
Jeju's Crisis, the Increase of Refugees and the Ban Jeju People from Migrating to the Mainland in the 16th century
Authors:   Society for Jeju Studies, Yang Jeong-Pil
Published: March 2023

In the 15th century, the economic situation in Jeju Island was not bad. However, in the 16th century, famine continued and infectious diseases occurred frequently. So many people starved and died sick. Also, local officials in Jeju Island did not manage well. In addition, the tax burden increased, making the lives of Jeju Islanders even more impoverished. Jeju Island was unable to escape the crisis as several disasters occurred in a short period of time. Those who judged that they could not live in Jeju Island began to leave Jeju Island.
As the number of deaths and displaced people increaseds, the population of Jeju Island decreased sharply. The Government took this seriously. Because at that time, invasions of Japanese pirates were frequent, so it was important to defend Jeju Island. So the government pushed for policies to restore the population. First of all, the refugees who left Jeju Island and wandered from the mainland were repatriated. There was also a discussion to increase the population by bringing people from the southern regions into Jeju Island. Despite these measures, Jeju Island's crisis and population decline had not been overcome.
Meanwhile, in the late 16th century, local officials of Jeju controlled Jeju Islanders from entering the mainland. the policy had the effect of preventing the occurrence of Jeju refugees and curbing the population decline in Jeju Island. Therefore, in 1629, the government authorized the Jeju official's policy and imposed a ban on Jeju people from leaving the island.
A Study of Web·TV Drama on Now Jeju TV
Authors:   Society for Jeju Studies, Heo Jae-Hong
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study is an analysis of , , , and  aired on Now Jeju TV. Now Jeju TV is a subsidiary broadcasting station of JIBS, which is broadcast nationwide and provides various tourism information about Jeju Island for the ‘land people’ of Korea. JIBS produces dramas or through outsourcing companies with sponsors in Jeju Island, and presents them through Now Jeju TV’s web platform and television broadcasts. As the purpose of establishing Now Jeju TV is to promote Jeju, The dramas that are aired also serve as a function of promoting Jeju. Now Jeju TV's dramas are unique in that they are a combination of tourism promotion and drama, and are rare in that they are self-produced dramas by local broadcasting stations. The characteristics of Now Jeju TV dramas according to the analysis are as follows. First, it is a sense of difference that occurs when a web drama is edited into a TV drama version. The technique of omission and coincidence that gives speed to the narrative in the web drama version appears as a lack of probability in the TV drama version. On the other hand, if the plot is formed in an omnibus format or If a plot is constructed with an emphasis on probability in web dramas, TV dramaticization of web dramas is naturally formed. Second, the protagonists are all ‘land person’, every text shows the beautiful landscape of Jeju following their eyes. However, Since specific tourist attractions are not emphasized, they are not enough as tourism promotional materials. While land people's stories are considered as important, the language or culture of Jeju is marginalized or removed. Third, every text has PPL scene of sponsors. In Now Jeju TV, PPL is arranged to suit the progress of the plot. This is because the sponsor is determined from the planning process, so the drama is produced with PPL in mind from the beginning.
“Accepting ‘Eternity’ of Antiretroviral Drugs”: A Pillar in Improving Adherence to Antiretroviral Drugs among a Selected Population of HIV Positive Patients in a Semi-Urban Region in Kenya - A Qualitative Analytic Study
Authors: Ochieng Martin , Kikuvi Gideon , Mokaya Daniel
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The objective of this research was to ascertain perspectives on suboptimal adherence and ways to improve optimal adherence to antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) among Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive patients attending selected HIV Care Centres in Kibwezi West Sub-county, Makueni County, Kenya.

Methodology: Six Focused Group Discussions (FGD) homogeneously stratified by age and gender and four Key Informant Interviews (KII) were conducted. Each FGD consisted of 8 study participants recruited by purposive sampling technique.

Findings: Focus group discussions identified fear, stigma, defiance, ignorance on reasons for medication, not believing in oneself, participating in activities that hinder adherence such as drinking alcohol, retrogressive religious beliefs, lack of self-love and denial as the main causes of sub optimal adherence to ARVs. However the discussions also identified one-on-one educational counselling sessions, seeking advice, group education with similar infected people, adherence counselling support by health workers, acceptance of one’s status, social and family support as means to improve adherence to ARVs. It also identified knowing one’s status, acceptance, personal discipline on adherence and reminders such as clock alarms or a trusted person as means to improve adherence to ARVs. However, the discussions revealed gender and age differences, attributed to different life’s challenges and perspectives in the different cohorts thus interventions should be targeted rather than lump sum. Key informant interviews identified ignorance, stigma, busy work schedule and lack of social support as patient level factors that would hinder adherence to ARVs. They also noted long waiting time, distance, poor attitude by health service providers and drug stock outs contributing to poor adherence to ARVs at the facility level. However, they identified community dispensing, support groups, health talks with mentors, psychosocial support, drug availability, outreach, encouraging disclosure, distribution of patients to nearest satellite clinics and directly observed therapy (DOT) by a trusted relative as ways to improve adherence to ARVs.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: interventions need to be tailored to the specific population and individual needs; thus, adopting better and informed strategies. The study adds to the pool of knowledge that factors affecting adherence are dependent on populations under investigation due to varied socio-demographic, socio-cultural and socio-economic factors locally, regionally and globally. The findings of the study will inform the local county government of Makueni and Kibwezi West Sub-county administrators in formulating local economic and health policies and by-laws that would aid in improving optimal adherence to ARVs.

Authors: Oduor Nicholas , Mberia Hellen , Ndavula John
Published: March 2023

Purpose: To establish the influence of Television’s celebrity endorsement advertisement technique on sports gambling behaviour among the university students in Kenya.

Methodology: This study employed mixed method design. In this case, convergent parallel mixed methods design was employed to evaluate the effects of Television’s celebrity endorsement advertisements on sports gambling behaviour among the university students in Nairobi County, Kenya. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected at the same time after which the findings were integrated with an aim of generating overall results. Descriptive survey strategy was also used in the study. The quantitative data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.  Diagnostic test was first done to ascertain if the data used were normally distributed. As for this case, the following tests were conducted; skewness and kurtosis, histogram and normality plot curve, Kolmogorov Smirnov and Sharpiro Wilk test and Q-Q plot. Other tests included outlier test, collinearity diagnostics, correlation analysis, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, heteroscedasticity/ homoscedasticity and linearity test. The relationship between the variables was determined using a regression model.

Findings: This study found out that there was a significant relationship between Celebrity endorsement and sports gambling behaviour among the university students in Nairobi County. In summary, technique of celebrity endorsement in television’s gambling advertisements had a positive influence in gambling activities among university students in Nairobi County.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study was embedded on the theory of planned behaviour. The core assumption of the theory is that there is a connection between beliefs and behaviour.  In this case, the intention for a behaviour intent is influenced by three issues namely; assessment of the behaviour, apparent social pressure to perform or ignore a behaviour and the perceived degree of personal privilege concerning the behaviour (Dawkins and Frass, 2005). On its contribution to practice, the study calls on the universities to come up with proper sensitization programs to prevent the students from addictive gambling. The study further recommends that proper policy should be put in place by advertisers to provide clear messages on the dangers associated with addictive sports gambling. The overall findings will help policy makers to formulate policies that will control betting activities in the country.

Rajasthan, the state is situated in the north western part of India and covers as area of 3, 42, 274 sq.km. Despite the hostile climatic conditions of the state, pteridophytes which otherwise known as shade and moisture loving plants. Sitamata wild life sanctuary is located at southwest region of Rajasthan. Different species of pteridophytes in this region exhibit significant variation in thermal stability of their photosynthetic pigments of some pteridophytic flora of Sitamata wild life sanctuary, Rajasthan. Studies reveal that total chlorophyll contents are maximum in Ceratopteris thallictroides and Selaginella repanda and minimum in Ampelopteris prolifera. The other species range between these two. Total carotenoid contents were found maximum in Cheilanthes bicolor and minimum in Selaginella repanda. These observations suggest that species with greater resistance to drought possess higher quantity of carotenoids and show lesser degradation in their chlorophyll pigments during stress conditions. Thus, Ampelopteris prolifera, Cheilanthes bicolor and Christella dentata are most resistant to heat and drought conditions while A. capillus-veneris, Ceratopteris thallictroides and Selaginella repanda are the least resistant taxa to heat and drought conditions.

Opus Dei: Papalığın Şahsi Piskoposluğu
Authors: PİRİ Yakup
Published: March 2023

Geçtiğimiz yüzyılda ortaya çıkmış bir tarikat olan Opus Dei, aynı zamanda Roma Katolik Kilisesi bünyesinde yer alan piskoposluklardan birisi, belki de en önemlisidir.

Opus Dei’nin Papalığın Şahsi Piskoposluğu olarak statüsü diğer piskoposluklardan farklı olarak bölgeye bağlı olmaması yönüyle hâlihazırda tektir. Bu dikkat çeken statüsünün yanı sıra; tarikatın kurucusu Josemaría Escrivá’nın teâmüllerin dışına çıkılarak ölümünden kısa bir süre sonra önce kutsanması sonra da aziz ilan edilmesi, Piskoposluğun kendi içinde dışarıya kapalı ve gizli bir yapı olması da Opus Dei’nin dikkatleri ve eleştirileri üzerine çekmesine neden olmuştur.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, dünya üzerinde gerek dini gerek de seküler alanda oldukça etkin olan Opus Dei hakkında açıklayıcı ve objektif bilgiler sunarak, tarikatın ve üyelerinin dini düşünce ve uygulamalarının değerlendirilmesidir. Böylece tarikat üzerindeki örtünün kaldırılmasına katkı sunulmuş olacaktır.

Çalışmada, olaylar ve kişiler ekseninde konunun işlenmesi ve tarihi çerçevesi ile arka planının ortaya konulabilmesi açısından tarihi inceleme yöntemiyle birlikte fenomenolojik yaklaşım benimsenmiştir.

The result of the research shows a positive and meaningful relationship between entrepreneurship education and attitudes towards entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship education and self-efficacy and self-efficacy and entrepreneurship intention. Again, a negative impact was empirically proven between entrepreneurship attitude and entrepreneurship intention and entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship intention. However, while testing for mediating effects of entrepreneurship attitude and self-efficacy. The result reveals that entrepreneurship attitude does not mediates the link between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention, while self-efficacy links entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention. The result confirms with previous studies in this field. Future studies recommends that more research should be carried out in the same institution for instance, from school of engineering, school of general studies to mention but a few. In the same vein, researchers should carry out studies from universities and colleges of education within the region. Again, entrepreneurship attitude should be used to test the moderating effect of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship intention and also a longitudinal study should be carried out.

This Alzheimer's is a long- term disease which degrades the neural capacity. Over time, the illness progressively gets worse. Patients with Alzheimer's are always reliant on other people. Caretakers find it more challenging to manage the patients as the condition worsens. The design and construction process for an electronic gadget used to track Alzheimer's patient care is described in this study. The vitals of a patient will be tracked using the wearable sensors. Several bodily touch sensors gather information. The cloud server receives this data. For this research, we're employing a variety of sensors, including temperature and pulse sensors, to track the patients' health in real time. To identify the patients' major health issues so that effective medical care can be provided. Alzheimer causes patients to lose memory. They occasionally get lost, thus a technology is employed to track them and communicate the information to family members. The Internet of Things (IOT) can play a major part in helping the Alzheimer patient. The smartphone device application will be utilised to guide the Alzheimer patients and aid them in their daily activities. It will also help the doctors, carers, and family members to monitor patients' reports. The purpose of this work is to create a prototype for a system that offers psychological support services and assures secure transmission of data that can be examined by a family member to safeguard the AD patient.
A BANALIZAÇÃO DA VIOLÊNCIA FEMININA NO FORRÓ BRASILEIRO FRENTE À LIBERDADE DE EXPRESSÃO E A DIGNIDADE DA PESSOA HUMANA
Authors: Sousa Liliane Batista Soares Magalhães de , Mourão Rosália Maria Carvalho
Published: March 2023

A presente pesquisa versa sobre a banalização da violência feminina no forró brasileiro frente à liberdade de expressão e a dignidade da pessoa humana. Tendo, assim, o objetivo de analisar o excesso dessa liberdade de expressão contida no forró brasileiro, como meio de banalizar tal violência e, assim, afrontar a dignidade da pessoa humana. Todos os dias, em todos os lugares do mundo, milhares de mulheres são vítimas de alguma forma de violência, seja por meio de espancamentos, agressões, humilhações, assassinatos. Deste modo, a violência sofrida por essas mulheres não é um assunto pessoal, restringido apenas as vítimas e seu âmbito familiar. Mas, um problema de ordem mundial. Embora os mecanismos de combate tenham ajudado muito na contenção de tal violência, ainda é necessário, observar fatores que incitam, influenciam e naturalizam sua continuidade. Ademais, pesquisas e decisões jurisprudenciais, demonstram que um dos fatores dessa naturalização são: as músicas. Passando, por conta de sua força cultural, a impregnar o cotidiano da sociedade. Consequentemente, em muitas situações: o homem banaliza e a mulher naturaliza! Para tanto, a pesquisa se desenvolve a partir do contexto histórico que nos fez herdar essa imagem deturpada da mulher. Além de analisar a letra de algumas músicas do forró brasileiro. Assim, ponderando valores garantidos à toda sociedade. Por fim, vale ressaltar que foi utilizada como metodologia tanto o método dedutivo quanto o dialético para a obtenção dos resultados. Utilizando-se como técnica, a pesquisa descritiva e bibliográfica.

THOMAS SOWELL NA CONTRAMÃO DA AÇÃO AFIRMATIVA NO MUNDO: UM ESTUDO CRÍTICO DE POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS VOLTADAS PARA COTAS RACIAIS
Authors: Coêlho Maria do Socorro Rodrigues
Published: March 2023

Neste artigo, intenta-se apresentar os pontos focais de discussão em torno das políticas raciais de preferências levantados na obra do professor Sowell intitulada Ação afirmativa ao redor do mundo: um estudo empírico sobre cotas e grupos preferenciais, para fins de, conhecendo-os, propor reflexão quanto à forma de assimilação dessas políticas na Nigéria e nos Estados Unidos, e, em seguida, realizar uma análise crítica do sistema de cotas raciais no Brasil. Tem-se como problema de pesquisa: os resultados negativos da ação afirmativa implementada nos diferentes países analisados por Sowell devem desencorajar a política de cotas raciais no Brasil? Adota-se o método indutivo para análise do sistema de cotas raciais e uma análise qualitativa e reflexiva em torno das premissas apresentadas pelo autor, o qual defende a ideia de que a ação afirmativa tem efeito negativo para a maioria daqueles que ela pretende beneficiar, além de prejudicar a sociedade como um todo, desencadeando discriminação, polarização e guerra civil. O autor entende que a solução para as desigualdades raciais se encontra, não no sistema de cotas, mas numa educação de qualidade oferecida desde as séries iniciais, vez que não concebe que o Estado ofereça ensino inferior durante doze anos e depois admissão preferencial na universidade.

Published: March 2023

The article presents the results of the assessment of the transformation of the structural composition and density of the composition of the soils of the deposits overgrown with forest, as well as re-developed, in comparison with the areas of pure deposits. The research was carried out in a group of areas of the forest-steppe zone on leached chernozems, dark gray forest and dark brown floodplain soils, as well as in the zone of grass forests on dark gray soils. The direction of use of deposits affects the structural composition, the number of agronomically valuable fractions, the density of addition and the spatial variation of these agrophysical properties. Statistically, a high proportion of the contribution of the direction of use of the deposit to the change in the structural composition of soils and the density of addition has been established.
