Experiencing China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage in Role-playing Games: Comparative Studies between MMORPGs and Larps
Authors: Liu Yuqiao
Published: September 2023

In recent years, considerable attention has been devoted to preserving intangible cultural heritage (ICH) through games. From a combined game studies and heritage studies perspective, role-playing games (RPGs) have a unique advantage in that they immerse the player in a character to experience and understand the basics of culture in an engaging way. Among different types of role-playing games, live-action role-playing (larp) and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) have a great potential to promote the learning of intangible cultural expressions and traditions that make them available to a wider public. In China, MMORPGs have had a positive impact on preserving China’s intangible heritage in virtual space and larps, specifically in the form of Jubensha, are also playing an important role in the same way.

The purpose of this study is to delve into how the ICH of China is being represented in MMORPGs and larps as an educational tool. With that target in mind, a close reading of selected MMORPG games -- A Dream of Jianghu and Justice Online -- and a larp game -- The Secret of the Gauze Lantern -- was conducted. The goals of this research are to understand what cultural experiences are integrated in those role-playing games to introduce Chinese ICH and explore the main differences between them in representing those intangible cultural elements. After analyzing these RPGs in-depth, I argue that both MMORPGs and larps show potential to safeguard the intangible cultural heritage of China; while MMORPGs present national-level intangible elements from different regions of China, Jubensha as a kind of larp focuses more on the indigenous traditions and customs of small-scale local areas.

Authors: Gayatri Maria
Published: September 2023

At the beginning of the pandemic, the policy focused on COVID-19 prevention and control. Health facilities faced disruption temporarily regarding contraceptive services. This study analysed the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on Family Planning services in Indonesia. Monthly routine statistics from the National Population and Family Planning Board contraceptive service were examined to determine the trends in contraceptive services in Indonesia before and during the COVID-19 Pandemic from January to December 2020. The study was secondary data analysis by utilizing monthly report data from all provinces in Indonesia. Comparison data would account for the monthly trends before and during the pandemic. There was a decrease in contraceptive services between March and April 2020. However, the trend started to increase in June when a one million acceptors campaign was conducted to provide free family planning services in 34 provinces. Injectable (54%) and pills (39%) remain the most favorable contraceptives during the pandemic. IUDs and implants peaked in June 2020 (288,503 users) and September 2020 (214,061 users). The massive campaign of contraceptive services has had a positive impact in increasing the contraceptive users. Contraceptive services are conducted following strict health protocols. Continuation of contraceptive use among reproductive couples still needs to be increased.
Locating Method for Pick-up and Drop-off Spots for Shared Autonomous Vehicle-based Mobility Services
Authors: Silva Dahlen , Csiszár Csaba
Published: September 2023

To provide safety to users and not disturb traffic flow, autonomous vehicles in shared on-demand mobility services cannot stop everywhere; thus, pick-up and drop-off (PUDO) spots must be dedicated or established for them. Our research objective is to propose a method to locate the PUDO spots for shared autonomous vehicle-based mobility services as this topic has been barely studied. The number of required PUDO spots is calculated, and the location is chosen considering the urban environment, walking radius, vehicle occupancy, and time for boarding and alighting among other parameters. Different from some methods applied to shared mobility, we consider the existing infrastructure (e.g., parking spaces) as potential locations for PUDO spots. The method is applied to a study case, demonstrating the applicability and providing the main findings: (i) the required number of PUDO spots decreases if willingness to walk increases; (ii) with a 3-min walking radius, 83% of curbside parking spaces can be repurposed, and 100% is reached with a 10-min walking radius; (iii) the minimum of 55% of curbside parking spaces can be repurposed with 10-min walking radius and without locating PUDO spots in private parking. Using our method, cities can determine the quantity of PUDO spots and their locations, being prepared in advance for the required changes in the existing infrastructure as well as the freed-up space to be repurposed.

Authors: Price James
Published: September 2023

Context: Up to 15% of concussed patients experience persistent symptoms and functional impairment following injury. This is often related to headaches, dizziness, imbalance, and visual disturbances.

Objectives: To perform a systematic review of the evidence for interventions used to manage postconcussion symptoms in working-aged adults falling within the headache-migraine, ocular, and vestibular postconcussion symptom cluster subtypes.

Methods: A literature search was performed according to the PRISMA statement. PubMed, OVID, Cochrane Central, PEDro, OSTEMED, and the grey literature checklist were searched from the dates of creation of each database through December 29, 2020. The outcome measures were compared by generating the standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals. GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation) was used to rate the overall quality of the evidence.

Results: The literature search identified 496 candidate studies. After removing duplicates, 352 studies remained. The titles and abstracts of the remaining studies were screened for eligibility and 343 studies were excluded. The full text of the remaining nine studies was assessed for eligibility and risk of bias. None of these studies was excluded. This left nine studies for qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Conclusions: Moderate-quality evidence suggests 4 interventions show promise for treating adults with headache-migraine, ocular, and vestibular postconcussion subtype symptoms.

The conditions for Cr(VI) adsorption by Lemna minor (LM) were analyzed. Regarding the macrophite the parameters were: growth rate and calcination temperature. Adsorption capacity of LM was measured as a function of the Cr(VI) concentration, stirring contact time, stirring speed, temperature, and pH; as well as considering the quantity of LM units and the LM root length. The data were well adjusted to the kinetic pseudo second order model and to the Langmuir isotherm model. Acid pH enhanced the adsorption because of the negative charge Cr (VI) and the protonated surface of the adsorbent material. Experiments by using a rinse water from the chromium plating process showed that cromium was successfully removed by LM. The best conditions were found for the adsorption process of Cr(VI) by LM.

The main objective of the work in hand is to investigate the degradation of sunset yellow dye under UV light using the TiO2 and SnO2 as photocatalysts. Thin films of TiO2 (T), SnO2 (S) and their nanocomposite (TS) were eposited by spray pyrolysis on glass substrate at 550 °C. According to X-ray diffraction (XRD), all the films had a polycrystalline structure. The S film had traces of SnO and the T film was a mixture of anatase and rutile. The TS film was a combination of anatase, rutile and SnO2. The grain size decreased from 115 nm in S to 21.5 and 18.8 nm in T and TS films respectively. Tensile strain was present in all films. The UV-Vis spectra revealed relatively higher transmittance in TS and T and lesser in S. Using the Tauc plot, the optical gap energy was calculated to be 3.60, 3.17 and 3.71 eV for S, T and TS respectively. The surface morphology examined by SEM showed homogenous grain with different shapes and sizes. The photodegradation of sunset yellow dye after 18 hours was ameliorated in the TS film to reach 90.27% where the S and T films had 19.74 and 29.65 degradation percentage respectively. The photocatalysis kinetics was found to fit a first order chemical reaction.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: During the menstrual cycle, women are exposed to continual variations in serum concentrations of various female sex steroid hormones. The fluctuations of the main female hormones, estrogen, progesterone, follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, are essential for regulating ovulatory cycle patterns. In this sense, it is speculated that strength training can stimulate the signaling pathways of essential hormones to regulate the patterns in the different phases of the ovulatory cycle. Objective: To analyze hormonal changes and strength performance in different phases of the menstrual cycle in experienced women undergoing strength training. Methods: A systematic review was carried out following the PRISMA recommendations. The terms “Strength Training”, “Resistance Exercise” and “Menstrual Cycle” were searched in Medline (PubMed), Virtual Health Library (VHL) and ScienceDirect databases. Experimental studies that evaluated hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle in strength training in women trained in resistance exercise were included. Results: From a total of 592 documents, six studies met the inclusion criteria. Interventions in the included studies ranged from 2 to 140 days. The protocols demonstrated that the intervention with strength training provides changes in the hormones progesterone, testosterone, estradiol and ammonia in the follicular and luteal phase. Conclusion: The studies investigated in this review demonstrated that Strength Training induced hormonal and strength increases, in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, in women experienced in strength training.
Intensive and efficient egg-laying tempo of the parthenogenesis mourning gecko Lepidodactylus lugubris
Authors: Li Tsui-Wen , Lin Jhan-Wei , Lin Si-Min
Published: September 2023

Although suffered from many evolutionary disadvantages, asexual species benefit from their high efficiency to build clonal populations in a novel habitat. Here we report that a parthenogenetic mourning gecko Lepidodactylus lugubris continuously laid 12 clutches within two years. The egg-laying period lasted from mid-April to late October, and the egg-laying interval ranged between 24 and 73 days with a mean of 34.4 days. Referring to this fecundity, a female gecko could reproduce up to 24 clonal female offspring every year, and expand the population size in an efficient way much faster than most bisexual species. The intensive and efficient egg-laying tempo, associated with the parthenogenetic breeding mode, are crucial factors which facilitated their successful colonisation into many islands. Keywords: clonal population, cost of sex, invariant clutch size, invasive species

In the process of raising goats, one of the factors that affect the process of goat growth and development is the availability of feed in the surrounding environment. In an effort to meet this availability, it is necessary to have a food source that is always available and usually comes from plants that exist in nature, such as grass or leaves. The availability of animal feed is not immune from the influence of weather conditions and the level of availability of weeds around it which are needed in large quantities. To deal with this, some farmers use alternative feed sources, one of which has been used is palm fronds and leaves and other organic waste. With the size of the palm frond which is quite large, it is necessary to chop it up so that it can be consumed directly by goats (Latifa S, Anto A, David S, Jeni W, Alexander Y). Of course, manual counting can be done, but it is not very effective and requires a lot of time and energy. Based on these problems, it is necessary to mechanization of the midrib and leaf counting process in order to facilitate the process. The purpose of science and technology for the community in this goat farmer group in general is to improve the quality and capacity of livestock production. In addition, by helping the availability of goat feed through the use of alternative feed sources other than the sources that have been available so far and applying appropriate technology for the process of chopping palm fronds and other organic waste. This machine is capable of chopping palm fronds and leaves with a maximum size of 2 cm. Based on the results of interviews with farmers, this size is a size that can be chewed or processed by goats when eating. Then, through this IbM activity, it is expected to be able to establish cooperation between partners and proposers from educational institutions. Partners can develop their business because the need for animal feed is more fulfilled through animal feed chopper machines, while institutions can directly apply science and technology and apply their knowledge into appropriate technology and can introduce Polmanbabel educational institutions more broadly to the community.

Alat Pengusir Hama Burung
Authors: Yanel Karnova
Published: September 2023

Hama adalah hewan yang mengganggu produksi pertanian seperti babi hutan, tupai, tikus, dan juga serangga. Beberapa jenis hama sering menyerang tanaman padi sehingga menyebabkan kerugian yang tidak kecil bagi petani. Oleh karena itu peneliti tertarik membuat alat pengusir hama burung menggunakan mikrokontroler. Mikrokontroler adalah sebuah sistem komputer fungsional dalam sebuah chip. Di dalamnya terkandung sebuah inti prosesor, memori (sejumlah kecil RAM, memori program, atau keduanya), dan perlengkapan input output. Program ini dibuat berdasarkan pada pengendali utama yaitu Mikrokontroller Arduino uno. Bahasa program yang digunakan yaitu bahasa C+. Dan program yang dibuat dan di simpan dalam format (uno). Hal ini dikarenakan Arduino Uno yang digunakan merupakan bagian dari mikrokontroller arduino yang memiliki compiler sendiri yang dinamakan Arduino IDE. Kemudian file ini di-compile lalu diupload ke mikrokontroller dengan menggunakan kabel USB sehingga mikrokontroller dapat bekerja sesuai yang diinginkan. Prinsip kerja dari alat ini yaitu ketika sensor pir membaca adanya gerak makluk hidup (Hama burung) maka sensor mengirimkan perintah ke motor servo dengan adanya pendeteksi suhu panas dari tubuh yang di teksi oleh sensor pir, kemudian motor servo akan bergerak dengan cara berputar 30 derjat ke kiri dan kanan. Saat sensor pir sudah mendekteksi adanya makluk hidup di dekatnya maka lampu LED yang di gunakan akan menyala sebagai tanda bahwa sensor mendeteksi adanya suhu tubuh makluk hidup.

under high-G stress.METHODS: The data for aircrew taking the Operational Training in Aerospace Medicine for Fighters course at the Institute of Aerospace Medicine Indian Air Force (IAF) from January 2017 to December 2020 were analyzed to assess the effectiveness of the existing
training goal to recommend a G-tolerance standard for fighter aircrew.RESULTS: During the study period, 334 aircrew took the Operational Training in Aerospace Medicine for Fighter course. Only three aircrew failed to achieve the training goal of the course (failure rate <1%).
There was a significant difference in the relaxed gradual onset rate tolerance of aircrew experiencing G-LOC and not experiencing G-LOC during the training. The odds of experiencing G-LOC at 9 G after clearing the 7-G and 8-G profiles were 4.4 and 4.7, respectively.DISCUSSION:
It is generally accepted that aircrew having higher G tolerance have less chance of G-LOC in the air. There is a need to have an operational definition of G tolerance for fighter aircrew that aligns with the operational training goal of the organization. The G tolerance of IAF aircrew is as
per the institutional definition of the IAF Institute of Aerospace Medicine. The high-G training has stood the test of time and has served well for the IAF.Kumar A. +Gz standards for the Indian Air Force. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2023; 94(10):780–785.

INTRODUCTION: Adding noise to a system to improve a weak signal’s detectability is known as stochastic resonance (SR). SR has been shown to improve sensory perception and cognitive performance in certain individuals, but it is unknown whether this performance improvement
can translate to meaningful macrocognitive enhancements in performance for complex, operational tasks.OBJECTIVE: We investigated human operator performance in a lunar landing simulation while applying auditory white noise and/or noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation.METHODS:
We measured performance (N = 16 subjects) while completing simulation trials in our Aerospace Research Simulator. Trials were completed with and without the influence of auditory white noise, noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation, and both simultaneously in a multimodal fashion. Performance
was observed holistically and across subdimensions of the task, which included flight skill and perception. Subjective mental workload was collected after completing four trials in each treatment.RESULTS: We did not find broad operator improvement under the influence of noise, but
a significant interaction was identified between subject and noise treatment, indicating that some subjects were impacted by additive noise. We also found significant interactions between subject and noise treatment in performance subdimensions of flight skill and perception. We found no significant
main effects on mental workload.CONCLUSIONS: This study investigated the utility of using additive sensory noise to induce SR for complex tasks. While SR has been shown to improve aspects of performance, our results suggest additive noise does not yield operational performance changes
for a broad population, but specific individuals may be affected.Sherman SO, Shen Y-Y, Gutierrez-Mendoza D, Schlittenhart M, Watson C, Clark TK, Anderson AP. Additive sensory noise effects on operator performance in a lunar landing simulation. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2023; 94(10):770–779.

INTRODUCTION: The advancement of human spaceflight has made urgent the need to develop medical imaging technology to ensure a high level of in-flight care. To date, only ultrasound has been used in spaceflight. Radiography has multiple advantages over ultrasound, including lower
operator dependence, more rapid acquisition, typically higher spatial resolution, and characterization of tissue with acoustic impedance precluding ultrasound. This proof-of-concept work demonstrates for the first time the feasibility of performing human radiographs in microgravity.METHODS:
Radiographs of a phantom and human subject’s hand, knee, chest, cervical spine, and pelvis were obtained aboard a parabolic flight in microgravity and simulated lunar gravity with various subject and operator positions. Control radiographs were acquired with the same system on the ground.
These radiographs were performed with a Food and Drug Administration-approved ultra-portable, wireless, battery-powered, digital x-ray system.RESULTS: The radiographs of the phantom acquired in reduced gravity were qualitatively and quantitatively compared to the ground controls
and found to exhibit similar diagnostic adequacy. There was no statistically significant difference in contrast resolution or spatial resolution with a spatial resolution across all imaging environments up to the Nyquist frequency of 3.6 line-pairs/mm and an average contrast-to-noise
ratio of 2.44.DISCUSSION: As mass, power, and volume limitations lessen over the coming decades and the miniaturization of imaging equipment continues, in-flight implementation of nonsonographic modalities will become practical. Given the demonstrated ease of use and satisfactory
image quality, portable radiography is ready to be the new frontier of space medical imaging.Lerner D, Pohlen M, Wang A, Walter J, Cairnie M, Gifford S. X-ray imaging in the simulated microgravity environment of parabolic flight. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2023; 94(10):786–791.

Arbitration provides a procedure or process for resolving disputes peacefully and out of court. Arbitration opportunities for the sustainability of industrial relations in Indonesia are minimal things that will be implemented by all disputing parties because the community prioritizes settlement in terms of winning or losing through court settlements. It is very important that there are ways to support this arbitration as an option for resolving industrial disputes so that it is of interest to the public. The research method used in this study is a normative juridical research method with a descriptive approach, with the aim of providing direction and finding logical realistics by looking at library materials or other information using primary and secondary data. The results obtained from the conclusion of this discussion are the knowledge of the mechanism of arbitration in the settlement of disputes in the field of industrial relations and the advantages and disadvantages of arbitration in resolving problems in the field of industrial relations.

A A REVIEW OF LEGAL CERTAINTY ON THE APPOINTMENT OF REGIONAL HEADS AND DEPUTY REGIONAL HEADS
Authors: Ananta Nur Averos Aulia
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Regional governments are led by a head of the region who is assisted by a deputy head of the region. The head of the region has the authority as stipulated in the Regional Government Law. However, there are conditions where the head of the region cannot carry out their duties and authorities, namely when the head of the region resigns temporarily or permanently. This study will discuss the mechanism for filling vacant positions in the event of the absence of the head and deputy head of the region. The problem is that there are two positions responsible for filling the vacancy, but each of them does not have a complete regulation regarding the mechanism, requirements, and accountability. This condition creates legal uncertainty. Using normative juridical research methods, it is known that each of them does not have a complete regulation regarding the mechanism, requirements, and accountability. This condition creates legal uncertainty.

Keywords: head of region; delegation of authority; legal uncertainty.

Abstrak

Pemerintah daerah dipimpin oleh kepala daerah yang dibantu oleh seorang wakil kepala daerah. Kepala daerah memiliki wewenang sebagaimana yang tertulis dalam UU Pemerintahan Daerah. Namun, terdapat kondisi di mana kepala daerah tidak bisa menjalankan wewenang dan tugasnya yakni ketika kepala daerah berhenti sementara atau berhenti tetap. Penelitian ini akan membahas bagaimana mekanisme pengisian jabatan apabila terjadi kekosongan jabatan kepala daerah dan wakil kepala daerah. Permasalahannya adalah terdapat dua jabatan yang bertugas mengisi kekosongan jabatan tersebut. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif, diketahui bahwa masing-masing diantaranya belum memiliki peraturan yang lengkap terkait mekanisme, syarat, hingga pertanggungjawaban. Kondisi ini menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum.

PROBLEMATIKA HUKUM ATAS PERJANJIAN KERJA SAMA ANTARA BANK DENGAN NOTARIS DI INDONESIA: PERSPEKTIF TEORI KEADILAN BERMARTABAT
Authors: Amah Charles Njuka
Published: September 2023

The legal problems of cooperation agreements between Banks and Notaries in Indonesia are actions or acts that injure human dignity. Notaries have a dominant position over their clients, so they have the potential to side with certain banks or developers. Even though notaries have a prohibition according to the Notary Code of Ethics Article 4 paragraph (4), the obligation to act impartially Article 16 paragraph (1) letter (a) UUJN. This research is a normative juridical research using statutory approach (Statute Approach) and Conceptual Approach. The results of the study found that the notary could potentially be negligent in respecting human dignity by having a cooperation agreement or becoming a bank partner or any other refined terminology, as if that could be justified, even though it is not in accordance with the values ​​or legal principles and values ​​of the Indonesian people. So that if there are actions that are inappropriate among notaries which are then not oriented towards fulfilling human dignity and have the potential for a dispute to occur which can harm other parties, then dignified justice can be a reference in making decisions, both by the Indonesian Notary Association Organization, the Honorary Council Notary and court.

Az ANCA-asszociált vasculitis egy súlyos lefolyású szisztémás autoimmun betegség, amely nagy százalékban veseérintettséggel is jár. A felnőtt populációban jóval gyakoribb, mint gyermekeknél, ezért kevés nagyobb esetszámú gyermekkori tanulmány áll rendelkezésünkre. Esetbemutatásunk során az elmúlt öt évben ANCA-asszociált vasculitisszel kezelt hat gyermek adatait ismertetjük. Az esetbemutatás mellett kitérünk a jelenlegi immunszuppresszív terápiás lehetőségekre és a plazmaferézis kérdéskörére is. Leírásunkban elemezzük a kezdeti tüneteket, valamint vizsgáljuk a tünetek megjelenése és a diagnózis megállapítása között eltelt időt. Bemutatjuk az induló laboratóriumi adatokat, emellett egy 12 hónapos retrospektív vesefunkció-követésre is kitérünk. Ismertetjük továbbá a betegeinknél alkalmazott terápiákat is. Tekintettel az alacsony esetszámra, részletes statisztikai következtetéseket nem célunk bemutatni.
