O turismo como protagonista da requalificação em áreas de decadência urbana: estudo de caso da Avenida W3 Sul em Brasília, Brasil
Authors: Sousa Diogo Diniz De
Published: April 2024

O fenômeno da decadência urbana ocorre quando áreas da cidade são “abandonadas”, usualmente, segundo Correa (1989), de acordo com intencionalidades de agentes-atores que produzem espaço. Porém, essas áreas são passíveis de serem recuperadas, a partir de um processo de requalificação urbana – e em decorrência de suas características, a função turística vem sendo adotada como uma das principais alternativas de desenvolvimento de áreas urbanas decadentes. Esta requalificação depende do envolvimento da comunidade e/ou de parcerias público-privadas, embora estas últimas possam criar, conforme argumenta Carlos (1996), “não-lugares”. O artigo apresenta uma pesquisa qualitativa baseada em um estudo de caso - a Avenida W3 Sul, em Brasília, Brasil -, buscando relacionar, através da lente do turismo, os processos de decadência urbana e requalificação. Como resultado, constatou-se que há uma requalificação incipiente, provacada pela atividade turística, em um trecho da via.

Published: April 2024

A Responsabilidade Social Corporativa (RSC) teve sua origem no século XX, com o envolvimento de grandes empresas com as comunidades circundantes além do escopo de suas atividades primárias, visando aprimorar a qualidade de vida dessas comunidades. Dado que as ações de RSC desempenham um papel fundamental nas expectativas da sociedade em relação às grandes empresas e considerando a crescente relevância das iniciativas de defesa do meio ambiente globalmente. O objetivo foi analisar as manifestações de RSC nesse contexto, através de um estudo de caso comparativo entre duas reservas naturais pertencentes a grupos de mineradoras no Brasil: a Legado das Águas (LA) e a Reserva Natural da Vale (RNV). A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de pesquisa em fontes secundárias, incluindo sites institucionais, notícias online e material promocional, juntamente com entrevistas diretas com funcionários das reservas e preenchimento de tabelas de critérios pelos gestores das reservas. O resultado apresenta critérios de análise de RSC em reservas naturais de iniciativa privada, demonstrando o desempenho desses através da avaliação da Reserva Natural da Vale e do Legado das Águas.
Inovação social e empresarização do turismo: as experiências da Fundação Casa Grande no Cariri cearense, Brasil
Authors: Rabinovici Andrea
Published: April 2024

A partir da experiência da Fundação Casa Grande (FCG), Nova Olinda, CE, este artigo reflete sobre a dimensão contra-hegemônica no Turismo de Base Comunitária (TBC). Atividades de TBC, ao usarem como parâmetros de sucesso métricas mercadológicas, desconsiderando indicadores de desenvolvimento e inovação social podem não estar alinhadas com seus princípios basilares. As atividades de TBC da FCG têm transformado a realidade local. A organização das atividades via microempreendimentos, com a “empresarização”, mesmo que seguindo conceitos e práticas relacionados à inovação e ao empreendedorismo social, traz questões importantes para pensar o TBC. Apresentamos e analisamos este percurso, por meio da literatura pertinente e a partir de visitas a campo, com observação direta e conversas informais. O artigo resulta em novas reflexões, mais do que respostas. O turismo praticado pela FCG está em consonância com os princípios do TBC, mesmo quando imerso em um sistema capitalista, com a lógica do empreendedorismo, buscando imprimir uma configuração social e participativa às atividades realizadas.

Development of an Emulator for Radiation Physics Simulator Using Stochastic Variational Gaussian Process Model
Authors: Shin Yonggwan , Seo Yun Am
Published: April 2024

This paper describes an emulator that uses a Stochastic Variational Gaussian process (SVGP) regression model to parameterize radiation in a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model that meteorologically models the Earth's weather system. The computation of radiative processes is very large, accounting for most of the total NWP model computation. Statistical emulators are surrogate models that represent simulators and can overcome the computational limitations of very complex simulators such as radiative processes. Recently, artificial neural network-based radiative transfer emulators have been developed, and in this study, a statistical model, GP, is used to develop a radiative transfer emulator. The GP model has the advantage of calculating the uncertainty of the prediction along with the prediction, so the uncertainty of the prediction can be utilized appropriately. However, the computational complexity of the conventional GP model is very high, making it difficult to apply to large data. To solve this problem, an approximate approach, the SVGP model, was utilized. To further reduce the dimensionality of the input variables, we used a combined neural network and SVGP model. As a result, the SVGP-based radiative physics emulator improved its accuracy by about 20% compared to the artificial neural network emulator. However, the computation speed was about 3 to 9 times slower than the neural network emulator, but it was faster than the computation speed of the NWP model. This suggests that statistical emulators can be used to replace NWP model simulators.

Published: April 2024

This study further explores the problems in the concrete material studied in terms of variations in the structure of the constituent materials and the grain size of red sand on the compressive strength test of quality concrete material with code K-350. The primary raw material uses red sand with compositions ranging from 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6% with sizes ranging from 120, 100, and 80 mesh. After all the ingredients are mixed, printing is carried out according to the predetermined sample size; after the sample is deposited for one day and one night, the sample is opened from the mold mall. To see the quality of the sample, testing was carried out by testing the concrete structure through the SEM test, and the sample elements were looked at by testing XRD, compressive strength, and water absorption. The results obtained were a successive decrease in water absorption in red sand samples with a composition of 4%. In addition, the maximum compressive strength value was obtained at the proportion of 120 mesh material, and 6 percent of the material composition obtained a compressive strength value of 35.27 MPa. When viewed from the size of the concrete structure using the scanning Electron Microscope test, it was found that the size of the red sand mixture concrete structure has a much smaller pore structure when compared to other mixtures. and in the X-Ray Diffraction test, it was found to contain elements in the form of SiO2, CaO3, Ca (OH)2 with the highest intensity of silicon.

Authors: Henmaidi  , Bronto Adi Alexie Heryandi , Oktavia Nurike , Arief Ikhwan , Metavia Ghina
Published: April 2024

Eggs and chicken meat are poultry products, and their demand continuously increases yearly. Limapuluh Kota Regency is the home of the largest chicken layer industry in West Sumatra. This district's total population of chickens reaches as much as 10 million. This industry has made a significant contribution to the district’s economy. In contrast, the number of farmers decreased significantly due to the low profit margin, while the egg market price was comparatively high. Our study aimed to investigate the value chain in the poultry product industry, especially in West Sumatra, and how the added value is shared among the actors. We want to determine the distribution channels, the actors, value creation, and value distribution along the supply chain. We analyze the value chain of the chicken layer industry, identify activities performed by each actor, and value creation in each stage. Value added was analyzed using a value-added Hayami method, defining the value added as the difference between the output and input values. The results showed that the structure of the industry value chain of chicken layer farms in Limapuluh Kota Regency consists of poultry shops (PS), breeders, traders, wholesalers, small traders, and consumers. Comparative analysis showed that wholesalers gain the most significant value-added distribution at 29.11 %, the second the breeder at 29.05 %, then small traders at 20.07 %, and then poultry shops at 14.17 %, and the last is traders at 7.60 %.
Overlay Mark Design Using Irregular Grating Patterns
Authors: Lee Hyun-Chul , Chang Hyun-Jin , Woo Ho-Sung
Published: April 2024

Overlay refers to controlling the vertical alignment and misalignment between circuit patterns manufactured in the previous process and circuit patterns manufactured in the current process during the stacking process of circuit patterns in the semiconductor manufacturing process. A critical factor in ensuring precise overlay measurements is using an optimized overlay mark design. Many semiconductor manufacturers have put considerable effort into optimizing overlay measurement marks to reduce high costs. However, image-based overlay measurement encounters several challenges, including resolution degradation, image distortion, and noise introduction during digital data conversion. These issues can amplify the uncertainty of overlay measurements, impair optical resolution, and heighten the risk of mismeasurement. In this paper, we introduce irregular grating patterns designed to address the principal challenges faced by the commonly utilized Advanced Imaging Metrology (AIM) marks, namely large overlays and image distortion. Furthermore, we propose an overlay mark capable of precisely identifying overlays exceeding half a pitch and incorporating as much data as possible within the limits of optical resolution. This aims to improve overlay measurement performance. The experimental findings demonstrate that the proposed Pulsated Grating Target (PGT) mark enhances overall measurement uncertainty by approximately 17% compared to the AIM mark. The practical applicability of the PGT was validated through experiments, and we achieved enhanced precision and reliability in overlay measurements by resolving the issue of large overlays—the most significant challenge with grating patterns—and simultaneously enhancing mark performance.
Analysis of Road Damage Level Using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Method on the Surabaya-Gresik Toll Road, East Java
Authors: Suharso Akbar Bayu Kresno , Andaryati
Published: April 2024

The Surabaya–Gresik toll road is a crucial infrastructure connecting Surabaya City with Gresik Regency. In industrial areas such as Gresik Regency, this toll road is indeed needed to expedite the flow of industrial goods distribution to Surabaya City. The toll road experiences frequent damage, such as alligator cracking, as it is traversed daily by heavy traffic. If the road, as a connecting infrastructure, is damaged, it will impede the flow of vehicles passing through it. Therefore, road maintenance is necessary to ensure optimal service for passing vehicles. In this research, an analysis of road damage on the Surabaya – Gresik toll road seeks solutions for addressing these issues utilizing the method of Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The method involves several stages, including a survey of road conditions, determination of severity levels, assessment of damage, and determination of pavement condition. The survey was conducted in 100-meter segments from KM 10 to KM 14, revealing various types of damage on the toll road, including alligator cracking, bleeding, corrugation, shoving, potholes, and more. Thereafter, an analysis of the severity level and damage assessment was carried out, resulting in an average PCI value of 68, categorized as a "Good" condition. Based on these findings, it is recommended to address this issue through routine maintenance, including repairing minor damage, patching potholes, sweeping, repairing pavement edge damage, sidewalk maintenance, side channel and complementary building drainage, road equipment, and roadside maintenance.
Performance Comparison of Dimensional Reduction using Principal Component Analysis with Alternating Least Squares in Modified Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Means and Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Means
Authors: Satriyanto Edi , Wardhani Ni Wayan Surya , Anam Syaiful , Mahmudy Wayan Firdaus
Published: April 2024

The clustering method is said to be good if it has resistance to outlier data. One cluster method resistant to outlier data is Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Means (FPCM). FPCM performance on outlier data still has the potential for overlap between cluster members in different clusters, resulting in decreased cluster quality. The Modified Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Means (MFPCM) method is used to modify FPCM in its objective function by inserting updated weight values to increase FPCM performance. In this research, improving the quality of FPCM and MFPCM clusters was carried out by reducing data dimensions through Principal Component Analysis using Alternating Least Squares (PRINCALS) so that members of each cluster do not overlap in the right cluster. The PRINCALS results of the FPCM method have better performance with silhouette values and BSS/TSS ratios of 0.4108 and 60% compared to values without PRINCALS of 0.355 and 43%. The MFPCM method with PRINCALS also performs better, namely 0.4299 and 61%, compared to 0.368 and 42% without PRINCALS. In this study, the performance of MFPCM with PRINCALS or without PRINCALS was better than that of the FPCM method. Overall, PRINCALS can improve the performance of the MFPCM and FPCM methods, resulting in better clusters. PRINCALS in this cluster produce an average silhouette value greater than 0.3 and an average BSS/TSS ratio greater than 50% so that each cluster member is in the right cluster and does not overlap.
La configuración de la “prisionera de guerra” en Nunca estuve sola (1988), de Nidia Díaz
Authors: Cuamatzin Nieves Grecia Samai
Published: April 2024

Si se tiene en cuenta que una de las renovaciones de la “nueva historia” consistió en cuestionar el concepto de fuente, así como incorporar al análisis histórico otros registros (diarios, cartas, memorias, novelas, fotografías) que no expresaran el punto de vista oficial, el escrutinio del testimonio de la exguerrillera Nidia Díaz resulta capital para indagar en la representación discursiva de la guerrilla en El Salvador. Por ello, merece la pena atender cómo es que Díaz contribuye, desde la escritura, a registrar aquellos episodios que protagonizó y cuya relevancia ha sido omitida por las narraciones hegemónicas. En aras de comprender los ideales de la guerrilla y la manera en que estos fueron asumidos por sus miembros, los testimonios ofrecen un campo de estudio prolífico e interesante. Sumado a lo anterior, los testimonios escritos por mujeres ofrecen matices dignos de atención. Acaso el más relevante y atendible es el que se cierne sobre la representación de la “mujer”. En este tenor, este artículo pretende analizar el testimonio de Nidia Díaz como un espacio en conflicto donde los entrecruzamientos de género, lo político y lo discursivo convergen, colisionan o se repelen creando tensiones que son ineludibles al momento de configurar su identidad como mujer revolucionaria.
La represa es una forma de frontera. Una noción de memoria histórica ambiental a partir de la obra de Carolina Caycedo
Authors: Sánchez Carolina
Published: April 2024

En este artículo se analiza un conjunto de obras sobre ríos y represas que pertenece a la serie titulada Represa /Represión (2012-) de la artista colombiana Carolina Caycedo. La pregunta de la que se ocupa esta investigación es ¿cómo las estrategias estéticas de estas obras identifican los problemas socio-ecológicos generados por las represas y contribuyen a articular imaginarios políticos de sostenibilidad? El argumento principal es que las obras de Caycedo sobre el río Yuma o Magdalena contribuyen con la construcción de una memoria histórica ambiental, a partir de saberes populares, campesinos y cosmovisiones indígenas. Con este fin, este texto caracteriza el problema de las represas a partir de los conceptos de ‘extractivismo’, de Macarena Gómez-Barris, y ‘desterritorialización’, de Rob Nixon, para luego realizar un recorrido por las obras de la artista, de cuyo análisis se va construyendo una caracterización de la memoria histórica ambiental de un segmento del río Yuma. El marco conceptual del trabajo incluye las nociones de ‘seres-tierra’, de Marisol de la Cadena y ‘territorio’, de Arturo Escobar, así como ‘memoria de los ríos’, de Kristina Lyons. La metodología se basa en el análisis conceptual y técnico de las piezas de Caycedo en el marco interdisciplinar de las humanidades ambientales. El análisis concluye que las obras de Caycedo generan espacios de memoria histórica ambiental desde perspectivas trasnacionales y, en estos espacios de encuentro que constituyen las obras, se relacionan y rearticulan los extremos de falsos antagonismos como naturaleza/cultura, humano/no humano y ciencia/arte.

Published: April 2024

The purpose of the article is to reveal the reform of the decentralization of power in Ukraine under conditions of war. In the concept of the territorial community of Ukraine, ancient European traditions of Ukrainian local self-government and modern standards of the European Union have been successfully embodied. The productive interaction of citizens, the state, and international organizations contributed to formation of Ukrainian territorial communities. It has been proven that the personal income tax is one of the main sources of filling community budgets. For 9 months of 2022 local budgets of the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine received 16,364,124 Ukrainian hryvnias (UAH) as personal income tax, which is 34% more than for the same period in 2021. Methodology:  The specifics of the research subject, as well as its purpose and tasks determined the use of general scientific and special methods of scientific cognition. Stabilization and restoration of territorial communities in Ukraine require the introduction of a new three-level effective and transparent system of strategic planning: state strategy — regional strategies — community strategies. For restoration and stimulation of regional development strategizing should contain definition of the following four functional types of territories: territories of recovery, poles of economic growth, territories with special conditions for development, territories of sustainable development.

Published: April 2024

This research delves into the sociocultural phenomenon of war, focusing on Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine. It examines war through a criminological lens, aiming to understand its short and long-term effects on society. Through empirical analysis of Ukraine's management of the crisis, the study evaluates how the socio-cultural perspective influences war handling. Destructive consequences such as increased stress levels and migration, alongside constructive factors, are identified. The research highlights the criminogenic potential of war trauma and post-war syndrome. Despite various methods and hypotheses, socio-cultural effects persist, posing a complex challenge for Ukraine. War is portrayed as a multifaceted phenomenon influenced by demographic, economic, and ideological factors, as well as historical legacies. Ultimately, the conclusion underscores the irreparable impact of war on the environment, populations, and international relations. This suggests a pressing need for comprehensive efforts to mitigate the long-term consequences of war and foster stable post-conflict societies.
Un modelo de interpretación para la efectivización progresiva de derechos sociales de prestación
Authors: Portocarrero Quispe Jorge Alexander
Published: April 2024

El presente artículo aborda, desde una perspectiva teórica, la problemática de la efectivización de los derechos sociales de prestación. La tesis central del artículo sostiene que esta efectivización puede darse mediante un modelo progresivo de tres niveles, a saber: el nivel de la funcionalidad básica, el nivel de la optimización del bienestar y el nivel de la complementación del bienestar. El artículo inicia con la fundamentación de la equiparabilidad de los derechos sociales de prestación con los derechos fundamentales “tradicionales o clásicos”, por ser dicha equiparabilidad el requisito teórico para justificar la justiciabilidad y efectivización de los derechos fundamentales prestacionales; a continuación, pasa a desarrollar la idea de obligación mínima esencial para luego incorporarla como primer nivel dentro de la estructura progresiva de efectivización. Finalmente, se pondrá a prueba este modelo teórico al reconstruir con base en el mismo el caso Cuscul Pivaral y otros vs. Guatemala resuelto por la Corte IDH.
El principio de no discriminación en los ordenamientos jurídicos de España y Ecuador
Authors: Galiano Maritan Grisel
Published: April 2024

Como es sabido, desde algunos años, el derecho viene gestando una de las regulaciones jurídicas más importantes de nuestros tiempos, cuya trascendencia resulta cada vez más indudable; y es precisamente el llamado “derecho antidiscriminatorio”, compuesto por todas las directivas comunitarias antidiscriminatorias, así como la incorporación de éstas al derecho interno de los Estados. De allí el tópico fundamental de este artículo, que como objetivo se ha propuesto revisar la regulación normativa de la prohibición de discriminación en los ordenamientos jurídicos de España y Ecuador, con el fin de conocer los principales postulados normativos que reconocen los derechos de las personas ante los distintos supuestos de discriminación. Para el cumplimiento de este fin se emplearon métodos y técnicas propios de una investigación social de corte jurídico, dentro de los que se encuentran: el análisis histórico-lógico; el método exegético-analítico; el método de derecho comparado y, cómo no, el análisis bibliográfico. A través de la consulta de fuentes doctrinales, legales y jurisprudenciales se realizó un análisis exhaustivo del objeto de la investigación que permitió lograr el objetivo propuesto.

Nueva victoria de Bukele en El Salvador
Authors: Sabasta Jorge
Published: April 2024

Nayib Bukele, empresario y político de El Salvador, accedió por primera vez a la primera magistratura de ese país en 2019 por el partido Gran Alianza por la Unidad Nacional y sucediendo a  Salvador Sánchez Cerén, quien representaba al Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional. En esa primera elección obtuvo una mayoría absoluta, sin necesidad de efectuar una segunda vuelta. Su primera gestión de gobierno, interpelada por distintos agentes sociales y apoyada en una política de seguridad de “mano dura”, derivó en una reelección a su cargo en 2024, convirtiéndose así en el primer presidente en gobernar el país por un segundo mandato consecutivo desde la promulgación de la actual Constitución en 1983, que prohíbe la reelección inmediata. Este texto aborda algunos antecedentes del tránsito político de Bukele, dinámicas de la última elección que lo llevó nuevamente al poder y sus alcances.

Published: April 2024

Las nuevas formas del hambre en la Argentina del siglo XXI impactan de manera más aguda en las infancias de regiones periféricas como el nordeste argentino (NEA). El acceso limitado a nutrientes potencia las desigualdades sociales preexistentes que abarcan tanto niveles de ingreso como infraestructura disponible. El agronegocio homogeneiza la oferta alimentaria e incrementa la malnutrición en la población argentina en general más allá del incremento en la productividad por hectárea. Los saberes médicos suelen abordar la malnutrición como un problema individual, pero tanto sus causas como sus consecuencias son sociales. Este trabajo es un estudio exploratorio del impacto de la desigualdad nutricional en infancias de tres localidades del NEA, en la Provincia del Chaco: Presidencia Roque Sáenz Peña, Taco Pozo y Fortín Lavalle. Los niños, sus familias y los profesionales médicos intervinientes fueron seleccionados como objeto de estudio por la posibilidad de reconstruir este proceso a partir de las prácticas impulsadas por el Estado desde los Centros de Atención Primaria de Salud (CAPS). Los hallazgos permiten deducir que la medicalización de los cuerpos malnutridos es parte del los agronegocios como un proceso que posee consecuencias ambientales y que potencia la exclusión social al ampliar la oferta calórica y reducir el acceso a nutrientes.
„Drang nach Osten“ als Visiotyp im polnischen konservativen Mediendiskurs
Authors: Czachur Waldemar , Poprawa Marcin
Published: April 2024

Im Mittelpunkt des Aufsatzes steht die Frage, mittels welcher multimodaler Kompo-nenten das Stereotyp „Drang nach Osten“, in dem sich die polnische Wahrnehmung von Deutschland als Bedrohung und Gefahr bündeln, als Visiotyp in der polnischen konservativen Presse realisiert wird. Stereotype als kommunikative Phänomene werden nicht nur sprachlich, sondern auch visuell repräsentiert. Deswegen wird in der Arbeit zunächst die Geschichte des Stereotyps „Drang nach Osten“ nachgezeichnet und eine lexikalische Analyse der parlamentarischen Debatte aus der Zwischenkriegszeit, der Zeit der Volksrepublik Polen sowie der Phase 1989-2019 durchgeführt, um die dominanten Bedeutungsprofile des Begriffs „Drang nach Osten“ herauszuarbeiten. Anschließend wird auf die visuellen Stereotype und Visiotype sowie auf die Titelseiten von Zeitschriften und Visiotype als multimodale Texte eingegangen, um ferner anhand ausgewählter Titel-seiten die multimodalen Elemente des Visiotyps zu identifizieren. Aus der Analyse geht hervor, dass sich die konservative Presse solcher Visiotype bedient, die sich auf Kreuz-ritter, Preußen und Nationalsozialisten bezieht.
Softwood Grafting of Clementine Mandarin as Affected by Thidiazuron Treatment and Rootstock Type
Authors: Al-Janabi A.M.I. , Abd N.T.
Published: April 2024

Background: Citrus are propagated on a commercial scale by budding on different rootstocks species; nevertheless, one of the main problems nurserymen encounter is the slow growth of these rootstocks in the early phases of their growth, which drives up production costs. Therefore, the process of softwood grafting is one of the promising methods for quick propagating species of citrus. Methods: The present study on softwood grafting in clementine mandarin was conducted under lath house conditions during 2022-2023, to illustrate the impact of dipping the scion shoots in Thidiazuron at a concentration of 0, 10 and 20 mg L-1 and types of rootstocks (Sour orange, Rough lemon, Rangpur lime and Swingle citrumelo) on the percentage of grafting success and some vegetative characteristics of resultant saplings. A factorial experiment was executed out utilizing a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Result: The two factors of study, particularly the treatment with 20 mg L-1 of Thidiazuron and Rough lemon rootstock, showed significant superiority in all traits, such as earliness in the initiation and completion of sprouting, graft success per cent, graft survival per cent, plant height, scion and rootstock diameter, as well as the number of branches and leaves plant-1. On the other hand, the un-treated with growth regulator and Swingle citrumelo rootstock recorded the lowest values for these traits.

Published: April 2024

Meeting freshwater demands in water-scarce regions is imperative, given challenges like hydric stress, urbanization, aridity, and population growth. This study focuses on the Tebessa aquifer system, a critical water source facing escalating demands. A primary objective is to identify actionable management strategies to improve groundwater quality dynamics in semi-arid regions. The methodology involves a comprehensive assessment of groundwater health using the Water Quality Index (WQI) approach. This method integrates diverse parameters influenced by intensive agricultural and industrial activities. Additionally, spatial relationship analysis, facilitated by Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, is employed to gain insights into complex hydrogeological processes. The multi-parameter strategy implemented results in water quality maps that highlight various ions, revealing spatial disparities and assigning quality priority classes from 'Good' to 'Poor' across the groundwater. The research, conducted in the semi-arid Tebessa-Morsott Plain, encompasses field and laboratory investigations to delineate hydrochemical traits, including alkalinity, salinity, and heightened ion concentrations. The results of the study contribute to scientific understanding by uncovering interrelationships and spatial intricacies, offering valuable insights for water resource governance. The effectiveness of the methodology, incorporating WQI and GIS, is demonstrated in the comprehensive evaluation of groundwater quality. Ultimately, this research provides a foundation for informed decision-making and sustainable management of groundwater resources in semi-arid regions.

Introduction: Labor can be defined as the process of opening and thinning the cervix, as well as the descent of the fetus into the birth canal. This pain can be felt like strong cramps in the stomach, groin, and back, as well as aches (Rosmiarti et al., 2020). In general, the pain that arises can affect the physiological and psychological state of the mother in the form of intense fatigue, the emergence of fear and worry, and cause stress, thus making a lack of contractions which can cause prolonged labor. The purpose of this literature review is to find out and analyze the effectiveness of effleurage massage in reducing the intensity of labor pain in the first stage.
Methods: This study uses a literature review method with article searches conducted in three search databases Science Direct, Garuda, Google Scholar and there are 10 articles that meet all inclusion criteria and are reviewed.
Results: Effleurage massage can reduce the intensity of labor pain in the 1st stage.
Conclusion: Based on the results of a review of 10 articles, one of the non-pharmacological therapies to reduce the intensity of labor pain is using effleurage massage therapy. This is evidenced by the average headache scale before being treated with effleurage massage which is on the moderate pain scale (4-6). After being treated with effleurage massage, the pain intensity was on a mild pain scale (1-3). Effleurage massage therapy is also able to reduce the scale of severe pain (7-10) to mild pain (0-3).

Introduction: Single-parent adolescents are often prone to depression. Depression itself is a  natural disorder of feelings, emotions that a child or teenager can experience during the ransition from children to adults which is theresult of separation or loss of parents either due to divorce or death.  Mindfulness can serve to increase one's sensitivity to understand current events.
Method: This  is a descriptive research  analysis with a cross sectional approach. The independent variable of this study is the level of depression of students with single parents and the dependent variable is mindfulness. The population in this study was students with single parents at SMK Muhammadiyah Bumiayu. Sampling was carried out using a total sampling technique of 60 respondents by filling out the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale  and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) questionnaires. The analysis used was univariate and bivariate with bivariate assays of the characteristics of sex respondents using Spearman Rank.
Results: The results showed that there was a relationship between mindfulness and depression levels of adolescents with single parents with  a p value of 0.01.  The results of student  depression rates under normal conditions were 39 (65%), moderate depression 13 (21.7%), and mild depression 8 (13.3%).
Conclusion: Adolescents with single parents who are depressed should strive to be able to achieve a state of mindfulness, so that adolescents are able to live and adapt their lives well.

Introduction: Uncontrolled hypertension can negatively affect a person's physical well-being and quality of life. The implementation of family-based care helps families to achieve independence in maintaining family health. The Orem model approach can explain how the family's role in caring for family health independently. Objectives: This study aims to describe the application of family-based care with the Orem model approach in hypertensive families. Methods:  This research was conducted with a case study approach, using a nursing process consisting of assessment with the Orem model, namely assessment of basic conditional factor data, strength components, universal self care, developmental self care, and health deviation and Hypertension Self Management Behavior (HSMB), formulation of nursing diagnoses using SDKI, nursing plans using SIKI, implementation and evaluation. Results: Intervention and implementation were carried out for four meetings including providing family-based health education using leaflet media, foot massage modality therapy and self-management monitoring sheets. The results obtained by both families experienced an increase in behavioral self-management scores and controlled blood pressure. Conclusions: Family-based care can improve behavioral self-management in compliant families.
HER3-targeted therapy: the mechanism of drug resistance and the development of anticancer drugs

Published: April 2024

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3), which is part of the HER family, is aberrantly expressed in various human cancers. Since HER3 only has weak tyrosine kinase activity, when HER3 ligand neuregulin 1 (NRG1) or neuregulin 2 (NRG2) appears, activated HER3 contributes to cancer development and drug resistance by forming heterodimers with other receptors, mainly including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Inhibition of HER3 and its downstream signaling, including PI3K/AKT, MEK/MAPK, JAK/STAT, and Src kinase, is believed to be necessary to conquer drug resistance and improve treatment efficiency. Until now, despite multiple anti-HER3 antibodies undergoing preclinical and clinical studies, none of the HER3-targeted therapies are licensed for utilization in clinical cancer treatment because of their safety and efficacy. Therefore, the development of HER3-targeted drugs possessing safety, tolerability, and sensitivity is crucial for clinical cancer treatment. This review summarizes the progress of the mechanism of HER3 in drug resistance, the HER3-targeted therapies that are conducted in preclinical and clinical trials, and some emerging molecules that could be used as future designed drugs for HER3, aiming to provide insights for future research and development of anticancer drugs targeting HER3.
Ocular Neuromodulation as a Novel Treatment for Retinitis Pigmentosa: Identifying Rod Responders and Predictors of Visual Improvement
Authors: Musallam Ismail Mohammed
Published: April 2024

Starvation of photoreceptors induced by reduced dysregulated ocular blood flow is proposed as a common pathway for the pathogenesis of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The current study evaluated the safety and efficacy of ophthalmic nerve stimulation (ONS) as an ocular blood flow neuromodulator, combined with ascorbic acid (AA) as a potent anti-oxidant in the treatment of RP. Additionally, the initial characteristics of rod responders were identified. Forty participants with simple, non-syndromic RP presented with a characteristic triad of RP (the bone spicule pigmentation, attenuation of retinal blood vessels, and waxy optic disc pallor), were en-rolled in a prospective open-label single-armed interventional study. The severity of the disease was clinically graded into six stages. Patients with an established diagnosis of RP; aged ≥ 4 years, with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥ 20/400 were included. All participants were daily treated with bilateral ONS sessions combined with intravenous administration of AA for two weeks. The primary efficiency endpoint was 6 months’ changes in scotopic vision as measured by a 10-item, 100-point, Low Luminance Questionnaire-10 (LLQ-10). The secondary efficiency points included best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and contrast sensitivity. Rod responders were defined by ≥ 25 points increment of LLQ-10 score at 6 months after treatment. The results showed that ONS combined with AA treatment significantly improved low luminance vision, BCVA, and contrast sensitivity in patients with RP (p≤ 0.05). At 6-month visit, twenty-four (60%) patients were identified as rod responders and 16 (40%) patients were rod-non-responders. The mean change in LLQ-10 score was (46.35 ±16.81) in rod responders versus (4.9 ± 7.6) in non-responders (p < 0.0001). A clinically significant improvement of BCVA (≥0.2 logMAR) and contrast sensitivity (≥0.3 log unit) were demonstrated in 50% of the right eyes of rod responders. No serious adverse effects were reported and headache in 5 patients (12.5%) was the only en-countered side effect in this study. In conclusion, ocular neuromodulation is a safe therapeutic strategy for RP. It significantly improved night vision, BCVA, and contrast sensitivity. Determinants of rod responders include a shorter duration of night blindness, an earlier stage of the disease, and a relatively thicker ganglion cell layer at baseline. Additionally, two therapeutic scenarios were recognized; an early disease-modifying intervention that restores night vision and reverses the disease process and a late cone rescue intervention that improves/maintains central vision.
