Glucose is a crucial compound in human life. Glucose has important roles in energy source production and overall brain health. In addition, it can be converted into other compounds essential for the growth, repair, and maintaining tissues throughout the body. Also, glucose becomes an indicator of diabetes, i.e., ill when the body can not produce insulin hormone properly. The poor management of diabetes can affect long-term complications that can significantly impact a person's quality of life and may lead to disability or even premature death if not properly addressed. Thus, it is important to do glucose detection to stay within a healthy range. The common methods patients use are glucose meters and urine testing on the laboratory scale. This method has several areas for improvement, such as being invasive, needing experts, and requiring a long-time detection. Thus, researchers come into various alternative glucose detection such as chromatography, mass spectrometry, electrochemical, and plasmonic sensor. Chromatography for glucose detection is rarely used in recent years because of its complexity. Then, for mass spectrometry, it is also complicated for the result and maintenance. As for electrochemical methods, the disadvantage is that other electroactive components on the sample can be interfered with. Plasmonic sensors that utilize the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) phenomenon are considered due to their advantage, i.e., non-invasive, real-time monitoring, and highly sensitive to surrounding medium change. Plasmonic sensors usually use components of light absorption, luminescence, fluorescence, Raman scattering, reflectance, and refractive indexbased on the nanoparticles used as sensing materials. Still, transmission and reflection are popular and widely applied. Furthermore, plasmonic sensors generally consist of instruments such as a light source, fiber optic, chamber to place substrate/analyte, spectrometer/detector, and computer. Besides, plasmonic sensors can produce different analytical characteristics suitable for different cases and tuned for the need because of the various sensing materials used. Hence, plasmonic sensors become a promising alternative method for glucose detection.

In medicine, the monitoring of local hyperthermia requires painless measurements of the deep temperature with an error not exceeding 0.5–1 К and spacial resolution no worse than 5 mm. For temperature measurements, the use of passive acoustic thermometry is proposed based on the registration of the inherent thermal acoustic noise of the object. The measurements of the noise signal require a considerable integration time: in the megahertz range, attaining a desired accuracy requires that the signal be averaged during 30–50 s. To reduce this time without loss of accuracy, we propose to restore the temperature using the heat equation with blood flow. Local deep hyperthermia of the human soft tissues was examined. The three-dimensional heat equation (governing the deep temperature) was integrated with respect to depth, with a weight coefficient accounting for the absorption of ultrasound, subject to the instrument function of the receiving detector, to obtain a differential equation for the acoustobrightness temperature (measured signal). It was shown that, during the initial stage of the heating (~ 5 min), the distribution of the acoustobrightness temperature on the body surface satisfies approximately the 2D heat equation whose parameters are uniquely determined by the 3D heat equation governing the distribution of the deep temperature. Computations were carried out using the values of the thermal conductivity coefficient, specific blood flow, and ultrasound absorption coefficient typical for the soft tissues of the human organism as well as typical parameters of the source in the local, five-minute heating of soft tissues. The acoustobrightness temperature was computed in the standard way, using the known integral expression, with and without the detector instrument function, as well as through the solution of the obtained 2D heat equation. The discrepancy between the acoustobrightness temperatures computed through the different procedures grows with time but after five minutes of heating, it does not exceed the measurement error. A condition was introduced to determine the acceptability of the approximation made. The proposed approximation enables determination of the heat equation parameters from acoustobrightness temperature measurements, which makes it possible to compute the deep temperature distribution at any point in time.

Background: Establishing a reliable pain biomarker may significantly improve care for nonverbal patients otherwise unable to express their pain (e.g., individuals with profound autism, cerebral palsy, aphasia due to stroke, or profound intellectual disability). Amidst potential candidates, heart rate variability (HRV) has garnered growing attention. However, our current understanding of the HRV-pain nexus remains rudimentary, which is limiting the integration of HRV as a standard pain measure in nonverbal patients within clinical settings. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim to elucidate the association between HRV and pain.Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the utility of HRV as an indicator of acute and long-term pain. To adequately address this objective, we have formulated two questions: 1) What is the relationship between HRV and experimentally induced pain? 2) How do chronic pain patients compare to healthy individuals with respect to HRV?Methods: This meta-analysis will incorporate studies employing a range of HRV and pain intensity metrics, including both vagally-mediated and baroreflex-mediated HRV measures. We will employ recently developed techniques for detecting and adjusting for publication bias. Additionally, we will perform moderator analyses to identify potential heterogeneity sources among the selected studies.Discussion: The outcomes of this meta-analysis may enhance our understanding of the relationship between pain and autonomic cardiac control, as measured by HRV. The findings may also aid the development of sophisticated tools for detecting, managing, and treating pain in patients who are unable to verbally communicate their pain.
Metacognition and Polyregulation in Daily Self-Control Conflicts
Authors: Bürgler Sebastian , Hennecke Marie
Published: August 2023

Metacognition is important for self-regulated learning and it has recently been argued that it may play an important role in self-control more generally. We studied multiple aspects of metacognition in self-control, namely metacognitive knowledge including a person´s repertoire (“toolbox”) of different self-regulatory strategies, metacognitive regulation (planning, monitoring, and evaluation), and polyregulation (using more self-regulatory strategies in a single self-control conflict) as predictors of people´s self-control success in daily life. In a preregistered experience sampling study, N = 503 participants reported their self-control conflicts up to eight times per day for 10 days, yielding 9,639 reports of daily self-control conflicts. Analyses showed that higher levels of metacognitive knowledge, planning, monitoring, evaluation, and polyregulation as well as a larger strategy repertoire were associated with higher levels of success in resolving daily self-control conflicts. Additionally, higher levels of trait self-control were associated with higher levels of metacognitive knowledge, planning, and monitoring. These findings highlight the importance of metacognition and polyregulation for successful self-control.

STRIKING THE RIGHT BALANCE BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INTERESTS IN LAND ACQUISITION: CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK AND POSITION IN UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA AND MALAYSIA
Authors: Mohd Salleh Noor Asyikeen , Sik Cheng Peng
Published: August 2023

The right to own property is an intrinsic human right that grants ownership and enjoyment to the landowners. The right to property is not absolute, however, because it is subject to the state's authority to acquire the private land. Land acquisition, as the term implies, is the power given to the state to acquire any privately owned land for a public purpose in consideration for adequate compensation.[1]   Land acquisition is a critical development tool for the state to overcome the land scarcity when it is required to establish railways, airports or any infrastructure for the public good. On the other hand, land acquisition is a labourious process affecting a wide range of stakeholders. It often involves competing interests between the state (representing the general public) and impacted persons towards their private property. As a result, the land acquisition regime is ostensibly a way of balancing competing interests. However, many countries especially developing nations are having difficulties in striking a balance between public and private interests due to a lack of legal protection and a traditional top-down approach by the state's government branches.[2] This article analyses the approaches taken by the United States, Australia and Malaysia in maintaining the balance in land acquisition. The methodology employed in this study is primarily focused on comparative legal analysis. Present research has shown that, there is little attention given to the balance of rights between the public and private interests in Malaysian land acquisition laws.

O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar as concepções e subsídios teórico-metodológicos que estão explícitos no documento de Reorientação Curricular da Educação Física no Estado de Goiás. Tomamos como critério uma análise gnosiológica sobre o aporte do documento, entendendo que nosso objetivo era trazer à tona e dialogar com seus pressupostos teóricos. Tivemos como objeto o Caderno 5 da Reorientação Curricular, que era destinado a subsidiar os professores do Estado de Goiás, desde 2009 quando o documento oficial foi publicado. Essa análise está pautada no materialismo histórico-dialético, sobretudo nas categorias contradição e causalidade. Em nossa análise, notamos que existe uma permanente intenção de influenciar a prática pedagógica do professor de Educação Física, sobre um aporte contraditório, pois ora está calcado nas Pedagogias do Aprender a Aprender, ora em um referencial histórico-crítico. Concluímos que esse dualismo presente no documento é fruto de uma disputa política e epistemológica da educação física escolar, representada nesse documento por autores que se posicionam de modo distinto, mas visto que diante as condições causais da elaboração do documento tiveram que entrar em um acordo teórico-metodológico.

The constant increase in new archaeological information obtained during excavations of settlement and funerary monuments of the Early Iron Age and the Middle Ages in the Southern Urals requires the formulation of new research tasks. One of them is the resumption of research in the field of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy at the interdisciplinary level, started by S.V. Ryazanov. This article examines in detail six metal objects (two fragments and a bow from a boiler, a chisel, a mirror and an arrowhead), which were analyzed using modern metallography methods. For the first time compositional analysis of objects was performed and the features of the alloys used were established. It is shown that research products have differences in chemical composition, which is due to different purposes and production. Boiler wall samples 1 and 2 are hypereutectic cast iron, the boiler bow is made of high-carbon steel, and the bit is made of medium-carbon steel. The bronze mirror is made of tin bronze with a small nickel content. Based on the analogies involved, the question is raised about the methods of production of cast-iron utensils at the Yabalakly-1 settlement of the late Middle Ages, as well as products made of non-ferrous metals from the Early Iron Age monuments, in addition, in relation to ferrous metallurgy, the places of extraction of raw materials are outlined. Comparison with previously obtained data allows us to conclude that the objects could have been made at the already identified narrow metallurgical complexes of the Yaruk type or even directly at it itself.

Published: August 2023

The purpose — to study the efficacy of intramedullary osteosynthesis and hip arthroplasty in the treatment of proximal femoral fractures in elderly people with various weight and height characteristics. Material and methods. A prospective analysis of the results of treatment of 181 patients aged 60 to 93 years from 2016 to 2021 was performed. We analyzed 77 cases with extraarticular fractures of the proximal femur operated on by arthroplasty and 104 cases treated by intramedullary block osteosynthesis. Conclusions. The treatment of fractures of the vertebral femur in patients with a femoral fracture should be based on intramedullary fixation with the use of a locking pin. A similar tactic is presented in the draft of the relevant Russian clinical guidelines. However, the presence of concomitant pathology in some patients (coxarthrosis on the affected side, severe osteoporosis, obesity, etc.) necessitates the inclusion of endoprosthesis in the primary surgical treatment of extraarticular fractures of the proximal femur. During treatment, increasing risks associated with the patients’ comorbid background should be considered and prevention of possible intra- and postoperative complications should be performed.

This study aimed to examine the impact of corruption on the relationship between taxation and economic growth. It sought to determine whether corruption acts as a moderating factor that disrupts the positive association between taxation and economic growth rate. To achieve these objectives, the study employed panel data for the year 1985-2016 of developed and developing countries. Additionally, the study employed causal analysis techniques to establish a deeper understanding of the causal relationships between taxation, corruption, and economic growth. This was followed by estimating a co-integration regression using the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) method. The empirical results of DOLS show that taxation and corruption both are lubricating the wheel of economic growth for developed while for developing countries taxation is stimulating growth, but corruption sands the wheel of growth. Similarly, the indirect effect of taxation through the channel of corruption is also negative for both samples. Likewise, the impact of the square term of taxation is also negative. The VECM Granger causality test shows that bidirectional causality exists between all variables in the long run. During the causality analysis, it was found that in developing nations, there is unidirectional causality from economic growth rate to tax revenues and from corruption to taxation. In developed countries, unidirectional causality was observed from corruption to tax revenues. However, bidirectional feedback exists between economic growth rate and corruption in developing countries, and bidirectional causality exists between taxation, economic growth rate, and corruption in developed countries. The study also suggests policy implications based on these empirical findings to improve the situation of these factors.
Conflicting Choices: Lump Sum Transfer or Periodic Cash Transfer. Evidence from Sindh, Pakistan
Authors:   School of Economics and Social Sciences, Institute of Business Administration, Karachi, Pakistan, Shabbar Shagufta
Published: August 2023

Evaluating the long-term impacts of social assistance programs is usually not possible as pure control groups dissolve into treated ones. This paper makes use of data where the treated and control groups remained mostly unmarred. We examine two types of Pakistani social assistance i.e., lump sum transfer (LST) versus unconditional cash transfer (UCT) and determine which is more effective in enhancing household income after a decade. The UCT has continued over time thus enabling us to see if there is any cumulative effect of this in comparison to the onetime LST received to the treatment group. The setup of initial randomization of beneficiaries to treatment and control status has not received any form of researcher intervention and thus continues to induce random variation. For evaluation, a cross-sectional survey is conducted in a district of the Sindh province of Pakistan. Propensity Score Matching is employed across recipient and control households to evaluate the treatment effects. The matching is done for households receiving LST and UCT and also between LST and non-recipients of any assistance. The empirical analysis suggests that the LST permanently increases the total household income. The difference in the household incomes of LST and UCT recipients, in the long run, is large and significant. The same is true for LST recipients and non-recipients of any form of assistance. Sensitivity analysis indicates no hidden bias. Considering limited fiscal space availability, understanding which type of social assistance can be more effective for social mobility, is an important public policy decision.

Tigers or Strawberries: Seizing the New Mission Opportunities Before Us for Church and Campus
Authors:   LIFE Adventist Church of Berkeley, Pickell Ronald
Published: August 2023

The context of my ministry is LIFE Adventist Church in Berkeley, California, a campus church near the University of California, Berkeley. I also provide leadership direction for Adventist Public Campus Ministry across the North American Division. This paper addresses the ministry challenge and opportunity for our mission forward following the COVID-19 Pandemic. For many churches and mission programs, the COVID-19 Pandemic was a huge interruption of their entire operation. In many ways, for us COVID-19 was more of a disruption rather than a complete interruption of ministry. This paper discusses the factors that contributed to the continuation of our ministry at LIFE Adventist Church, and also for other students attending non-Adventist college and university campuses across North America. It will include suggestions for moving forward at this time. The pandemic has opened numerous opportunities for ministry, including some right in front of us. Ways will be suggested to integrate these opportunities into a new strategic plan for advancing the Kingdom of God in our ministry context in this unique time.

Authors: Феєр Анастасія
Published: August 2023

У статті висвітлено результати аналізу існуючих поглядів на визначення терміну «диверсифікація». Наведено різні трактування диверсифікації економіки як фактора соціально-економічного розвитку регіону. Головна стратегія диверсифікації – забезпечення стабільності регіональної економіки. Це досягається за допомогою виконання основних завдань диверсифікації, таких як створення нових робочих місць, скорочення виробничих витрат та наявність стратегії регіону в середньому та довгостроковому плані. Автором зазначається, що диверсифікація соціальної інфраструктури дозволяє розширити асортимент та якість соціальних послуг. Це допомагає забезпечити громадянам більше можливостей для задоволення їхніх потреб та покращення доступності та якості соціальних послуг, сприяє підвищенню привабливості гірських територій як для мешканців так і для вітчизняних та зарубіжних інвесторів.
ПЕРСОНАЛЬНИЙ БРЕНД: РОЗВИВАТИ ЧИ НІ?

Інформатизація всіх сфер діяльності сучасної людини та швидкий розвиток нових інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій створюють сприятливі умови для реалізації програм оперативного доступу до віддалених матеріальних та інтелектуальних ресурсів, розподілених по всій земній кулі. За останнє десятиліття соціальні медіа змінили спосіб, у який люди, спільноти та організації створюють, обмінюються та споживають інформацію один від одного та від компаній. Однак сьогодні користувачі соціальних мереж стали більш уважно ставитися до своєї присутності в Інтернеті. Стає все більш очевидним, що соціальні медіа створюють величезні ризики для окремих людей, спільнот, компаній і навіть суспільства вцілому. Прикладами таких ризиків у соціальних мережах є кіберзалякування, використання звикання, тролінг, онлайн-полювання, фейкові новини та порушення конфіденційності. Довіру до нашого дослідження підвищив детальний збір даних, спрямований на отримання глибшого розуміння феномену особистого сприйняття соціальних мереж на основі первинних даних, отриманих під час інтерв’ю з експертами соціальних мереж, і вторинних даних з аналізу великої кількості вторинних даних. Використовуючи зворотний підхід із первинними та вторинними даними, ми змогли переконатися, що вся інформація, заснована на вторинному наборі даних, узгоджується з експертними інтерв’ю, і це було основою для нашого дослідження методом інтерв’ювання. В межах цього процесу ми попросили наших респондентів описати мотиваційні фактори, що стоять за їхньою залученістю до соціальних мереж. Основна мета даного дослідження базувалася на багатовимірності та подвійності індивідуального сприйняття соціальних мереж. Застосовуючи якісний методологічний підхід, у статті досліджено індивідуальне ставлення споживачів до поведінки в соціальних мережах (SNS). Через призму розвитку особистого бренду розуміється, що люди прагнуть створити задовільну презентацію бажаного «я». Водночас важливим критерієм індивідуальної поведінки в соціальних мережах є збереження суспільного сприйняття своєї ідентичності. Страх бути незрозумілим пов'язаний з суперечливими думками перед цільовою аудиторією. Окрім просування, дослідження допомагає зрозуміти, як особисті інтереси до бренду впливають на соціальне сприйняття. Отримані результати допомагають отримати більше знань про споживачів з точки зору їх залучення до маркетингової комунікації.
The Comprehensive Instructional Language Learning Model: Exploring its Feasibility and Characteristics
Authors: Baaqili Youssef
Published: August 2023

The necessity for a comprehensive theoretical framework is underscored, given that current theories, such as behaviorism, cognitivism, or constructivism, concentrate on distinct facets of language learning. Scholars contend that language learning and teaching necessitate a comprehensive theoretical framework. The theory under consideration is characterized as possessing descriptive, instructional, and evaluative qualities, thereby offering a pragmatic framework for practitioners in English language teaching. This article introduces a comprehensive theoretical framework for language learning that seeks to encompass all the elements inherent in language learning, namely cross-linguistic applicability, psychological adequacy, contextual variables, and a comprehensive and cooperative learning process that is initiated with input, followed by competency building, and ends with engagement. The theory is expounded upon through the utilization of the Evaluative Matrix of a Comprehensive Instructional Language Learning Theory (EMCILLT), which evaluates the various aspects of the teaching-learning experience, utilizing Grice’s maxims (1975) quantity, quality, manner, and relevance. This comprehensive model that encompasses all the aspects of the learning process serves as a basis for comprehending and delineating the intricate nature of language learning. Moreover, it assists teachers in engaging in self-evaluation of their instructional strategies and practices and/or in evaluating methods, approaches, and techniques to enhance the overall teaching-learning experience.

Published: August 2023

Brain cancer has remained one of the key causes of deaths in people of all ages. One way to survival amongst patients is to correctly diagnose cancer in its early stages. Recently machine learning has become a very important tool in medical image classification. Our approach is to examine and compare various machine learning classification algorithms that help in brain tumor classification of Magnetic Resonance (MR) images. We have compared Artificial Neural Network (ANN), K-nearest Neighbor (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine(SVM) and Naïve Bayes (NB) classifiers to determine the accuracy of each classifier and find the best amongst them for classification of cancerous and noncancerous brain MR images. We have used 86 MR images and extracted a large number of features for each image. Since the equal number of images, have been used thus there is no suspicion of results being biased. For our data set the most accurate results were provided by ANN. It was found that ANN provides better results for medium to large database of Brain MR Images.

The implementation of various forms of information technology in the library has been carried out in an effort to meet the diverse needs of library users. One of them is RFID technology. The technology that was originally used in the manufacturing industry has now been used in libraries. Several libraries in Indonesia have implemented this technology since 2007. At this time the libraries were quite familiar with the technology. But the library that applies RFID technology requires a study of the application of this technology. It aims to determine the reliability of the application of RFID technology in the library. In addition to knowing what deficiencies need to be corrected. This article aims to offer a method as a means to measure the level of establishment of a library in applying RFID technology in it. The method offered is with the COBIT framework, or COBIT Framework.
Electrostatic quantum dark energy in a seven-dimensional universe
Authors: Kesanasetty Sasidhar
Published: August 2023

This paper explains the dark energy and acceleration of the universe by quantizing the space in the hidden dimensions which provides the basis and background for the gravitational force through the curvature of space-time. Space-time is considered to be made of a four-dimensional elastic grid in a seven-dimensional universe in which matter also expands along with the universe. Each cube of the grid is considered a quantum of hidden three-dimensional space of Planck volume containing Planck charge, which makes the universe seven-dimensional. The dark energy is explained by the electrostatic repulsion between the Planck charges in each quantum of the hidden space. Mathematically, this electrostatic repulsion is related to the Hubble constant to explain the accelerated expansion, dark energy, and the increase in cosmological potential energy of the matter.

UMA ANÁLISE DE BIBLIOGRAFIAS SOBRE PENSAMENTO ALGÉBRICO NOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL
Authors: Oliveira Tchierly Juliani Bier de , Ribeiro Dulcyene Maria
Published: August 2023

Este texto configura-se como uma revisão bibliográfica, e tem por objetivo analisar as bibliografias que tratam sobre pensamento algébrico nos anos iniciais de escolarização que mais foram citadas nas teses e dissertações, produzidas no Brasil nos últimos 30 anos, que versam sobre o tema. Com base nos textos mais citados nas dissertações e teses, foram identificados e discutidos três aspectos principais relacionados ao pensamento algébrico nos anos iniciais: a caracterização do pensamento algébrico, as formas de desenvolvê-lo e a importância dele nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Compreende-se que os excertos apresentados são apenas fragmentos do trabalho dos autores, e não a totalidade das reflexões sobre o tema. Mas, a partir da análise dos excertos, evidencia-se que são diversas as caracterizações para os modos de produzir significados para os objetos e processos da álgebra e para a organização do pensamento algébrico. Algumas formas de desenvolver o pensamento algébrico perpassam o trabalho com situações-problema, com a argumentação, o estabelecimento de padrões, regularidades, variação e modelação e na associação da álgebra com a aritmética. É possível afirmar que os autores compartilham a ideia de que o pensamento algébrico pode ser desenvolvido desde os anos iniciais de escolarização, muitos antes do contato dos alunos com a linguagem algébrica formal.
ETNOMATEMÁTICA: UMA METODOLOGIA DE ENSINO?
Authors: Silva Daniel Fernandes da
Published: August 2023

Apesar do surgimento da Etnomatemática ter acontecido em meados da década de 1970 e, atualmente, ter-se presenciado o crescente número de pesquisas e eventos com base nessa temática, percebe-se que algumas distorções ainda são percebidas em propostas ditas “etnomatemáticas”. Nesse cenário, o presente trabalho parte de uma pergunta recorrente: a Etnomatemática é uma metodologia para ensinar Matemática? Assim, por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória qualitativa, cujo foco são pesquisas bibliográficas publicadas na área, principalmente na perspectiva dambrosiana, objetiva-se discutir e responder esta questão. Os resultados apontam que a consideração da Etnomatemática como uma metodologia de ensino vai além das práticas desenvolvidas pelos docentes, sendo um problema que permeia a própria formação de professores. Contudo, a presente pesquisa mostra que a perspectiva Etnomatemática e a sua abrangência na proposição de práticas pedagógicas não é condiz com uma metodologia para o ensino de Matemática, trazendo contribuições para pesquisadores e profissionais da área.
