Authors: Jaeuk Jeong , Yu Sun , Donghwi Suh
Published: December 2024

Introduction

In order to identify effective strategies for enhancing a high-quality physical education system, it is imperative to undertake research that examines the nuances of educational culture, specifically focusing on the psychological experiences of early adolescents within physical education classes. This study aims to compare self-determination, peer-relationships, and feelings of alienation in physical education among adolescents from Korea and China, both situated in East Asia, with respect to their nationality and gender.

Methods

One hundred and twenty two early adolescent males (M = 14.34, SD = 0.65) and 78 females (M = 14.34, SD = 0.64) from South Korea and 125 early adolescent males (M = 14.13, SD = 0.58) and 70 females (M = 14.13, SD = 0.59) from China participated in this study, with a mean age of 14.24 ± 0.62. The Academic Self-Regulatory Scale (SRQ-A), Peer-relationship Questionnaire, and a Scale for Measuring Student Alienation in Physical Education were utilized for data analysis. For statistic comparisons, a t-test was used.

Results

Self-determination of male and female students in China was significantly higher than that of male and female students in Korea, respectively. Peer-relationship of male students in Korea was significantly higher than that of male students in China. Physical education alienation of the female students in Korea was significantly higher than that of male students in Korea.

Discussion

Given that the influence of self-determination, peer relationships, and physical education alienation varies by nationality and gender, it is crucial to seek and implement strategies to develop an effective physical education system. By doing so, physical education alienation can be minimized and prevented, ultimately preserving the health and well-being of adolescents. This approach is vital for fostering a supportive and inclusive environment that promotes lifelong fitness and health.

Authors: Wang Liang , Xu Jianhua , Liu Yao
Published: December 2024

Objective

This study investigates the impact of team cohesion on the engagement of college basketball players, and examines the moderating effects of authoritarian, benevolent, and moral leadership styles within paternalistic leadership on this influence. This provides theoretical insights for improving athlete engagement.

Methods

Data from 404 athletes participating in the 26th China Collegiate Basketball League were collected through a questionnaire survey and analyzed statistically.

Results

(1) Team cohesion has a significant positive impact on athlete engagement in collegiate basketball players. (2) Authoritarian leadership has a significant negative moderating effect on the relationship between team cohesion and athlete engagement in collegiate basketball players; the stronger the authoritarian leadership, the weaker the positive impact of team cohesion on athlete engagement in collegiate basketball players. This effect diminishes and becomes statistically insignificant when the authoritarian leadership score exceeds 5.88. (3) Benevolent leadership does not have a significant moderating effect between team cohesion and athlete engagement in collegiate basketball players. (4) Moral leadership has a significant positive moderating effect on the relationship between team cohesion and athlete engagement in collegiate basketball players; the higher the moral leadership, the stronger the positive impact of team cohesion on athlete engagement in collegiate basketball players, which becomes insignificant when the moral leadership score is below 2.75.

Conclusion

Enhancing team cohesion is an effective method to increase athlete engagement in collegiate basketball players. It is advisable for collegiate basketball coaches to refrain from adopting controlling and demeaning authoritative approaches, and instead, emphasize ethical leadership practices, continually enhancing their own abilities and virtues to serve as role models.

Introduction

The valorization of agricultural waste from indigenous sub-Saharan African food processes remains underexplored. By-products from the processing of Parkia biglobosa seeds into condiments are often regarded as pollutants. This research assessed their potential for development in various industrial applications.

Materials and methods

This study employed a standardized protocol adopted in the processing of P. biglobosa seed into condiments, enabling the quantification of food and by-products generated as a percentage. A comparative analysis of the proximate and mineral constituents of the dried food condiment and seed coat (testa) was conducted. Furthermore, the phytochemical constituent of effluents from the two stages of processing was characterized using qualitative and quantitative methods, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS).

Results and discussion

The results showed that 66.27% of each 100 g processed P. biglobosa seed used could be considered waste, with 23.19% in seed coat and 29.47% in effluent(s). The seed coat has moisture absorption potential and is fibrous in nature, as confirmed by proximate fiber analysis—15.03 ± 0.13% compared to 9.07 ± 0.10% in the dried condiment. Both the condiments and seed coat contained considerable amounts of sustenance minerals. Effluents from the boiling process exhibited a characteristic starchy effect on textiles. The concentrated effluent from the first stage of boiling had a chocolate-like aroma, sticky texture, and dark-brown color compared to the effluent from the second boiling stage. The FTIR analysis indicated the presence of alcohols, alkenes, aromatic rings, carboxylic acids, and amines in the effluent samples. GCMS characterization reported the presence of specific fatty acids with known health benefits. When premised on the waste-to-wealth initiative, the quantified and characterized by-products of P. biglobosa seed processing, as reported in this study, have potential applications across various industrial processes, including food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and agriculture, among others.
MetAP2 as a Therapeutic Target for Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes: Structural Insights, Mechanistic Roles, and Inhibitor Development
Authors: Moon Dong Oh
Published: December 2024

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and obesity are globally prevalent metabolic disorders characterized by insulin resistance, impaired glucose metabolism, and excessive adiposity. Methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP2), an intracellular metalloprotease, has emerged as a promising therapeutic target due to its critical role in regulating lipid metabolism, energy balance, and protein synthesis. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of MetAP2, including its structural characteristics, catalytic mechanism, and functional roles in the pathophysiology of T2DM and obesity. The unique architecture of MetAP2’s active site and its interactions with substrates are examined to elucidate its enzymatic function. The review also explores the development of MetAP2 inhibitors, focusing on their mechanisms of action, preclinical and clinical findings, and therapeutic potential. Special emphasis is placed on docking studies to analyze the binding interactions of six key inhibitors (fumagillin, TNP-470, beloranib, ZGN-1061, indazole, and pyrazolo[4,3-b]indole) with MetAP2, revealing their structural determinants for efficacy and specificity. These findings underscore the potential of MetAP2 as a therapeutic target and provide valuable insights for the rational design of next-generation inhibitors to address obesity and T2DM.

Published: December 2024

Effective production prediction is vital for optimizing energy resource management, designing efficient extraction strategies, minimizing operational risks, and informing strategic investment decisions within the energy sector. This paper introduces a Dual-Stage Attention Temporal Convolutional Network (DA-TCN) model to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of gas production forecasting, particularly for wells in tight sandstone reservoirs. The DA-TCN architecture integrates feature and temporal attention mechanisms within the Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) framework, improving the model’s ability to capture complex temporal dependencies and emphasize significant features, resulting in robust forecasting performance across multiple time horizons. Application of the DA-TCN model to gas production data from two wells in Block T of the Sulige gas field in China demonstrated a 19% improvement in RMSE and a 21% improvement in MAPE compared to traditional TCN methods for long-term forecasts. These findings confirm that dual-stage attention not only increases predictive accuracy but also enhances forecast stability over short-, medium-, and long-term horizons. By enabling more reliable production forecasting, the DA-TCN model reduces operational uncertainties, optimizes resource allocation, and supports cost-effective management of unconventional gas resources. Leveraging existing knowledge, this scalable and data-efficient approach represents a significant advancement in gas production forecasting, delivering tangible economic benefits for the energy industry.

Sustainable management of agri-food product safety presents a major challenge requiring extensive action to ensure food safety and consumer health. The pursuit of environmentally friendly solutions that will constitute an alternative to the chemical compounds commonly used in agriculture and the food industries is one of the most important problems. One solution is plant extracts containing various biologically active compounds and exhibiting antimicrobial activity. This study aims to determine the biological activity of extracts obtained from Origanum vulgare L. (leaves) by supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) extraction using different reaction conditions and compositions. In vitro studies revealed antimicrobial activity against selected bacteria (including Salmonella Enteritidis, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus) and fungi (Fusarium spp.), depending mainly on the microorganism species; however, extraction conditions also influenced these properties. The microscopic observations established by optical and fluorescence microscopy showed the changes in the fungal cell’s viability and morphology. There was no observed significant release of intracellular material as stated based on ICP-MS analysis of sodium and potassium concentration. Antibiofilm properties of extract obtained by extraction at 40 °C were also demonstrated against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and L. monocytogenes, with stronger properties observed against Gram-positive bacteria. Phytochemical characterization of the extracts was determined using a liquid chromatography system with an orbitrap mass spectrometer (LC/MS), identifying, i.e., phenolic acids: protocatechuic, hydroxybenzoic, caffeic, and rosmarinic; flavonoids: luteolin, naringenin, and kaempferol; and terpenoids: oleanolic and ursolic acids.
Trapped in Economic Vulnerability? Pastoral Theological Reflections on Poverty
Authors: Thesnaar Christo
Published: December 2024

Poverty is a reality worldwide, impacting individuals, communities, and systems. However, poverty is by no means a simplistic concept and its complexity therefore needs to be highlighted as it varies from continent to continent. The Church and pastoral theology can contribute to constructively addressing poverty and the need to develop a theological understanding of poverty. In endeavoring to engage with this reality, this contribution attempts to argue that constructive dialogue creates opportunities for pastoral theology and the Church to change the conditions of the poor. It will also indicate how the Dialogical Intergenerational Pastoral Process (DIPP) as a pastoral approach to poverty, vulnerability, and vulnerance can be relevant to addressing poverty. The aim is further that this contribution will create opportunities for the poor to change pastoral theology and the Church.

The introduction of non-native species can lead to competition with native species for key resources, driving the decline and extinction of endemic biodiversity. Recently, a newly discovered and evolutionarily distinct lineage of Korogwe tilapia (Oreochromis korogwe) was reported from small lakes in southern Tanzania. This small-bodied lineage is potentially threatened by introduced Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), an invasive large-bodied congeneric with a pan-tropical non-native distribution. Nile tilapia is known to dominate ecologically-similar native tilapia in competitive interactions, preventing access to resources such as food and shelter. We therefore hypothesised that competition between Nile tilapia and Korogwe tilapia could limit access to resources by the native species and hence reduce their growth rate, a key determinant of fitness. In this study, tilapia were collected from Lake Rutamba in two field seasons, and individuals were classified using microsatellite DNA genotypes as O. niloticus, O. korogwe or interspecific hybrids. Recent growth rate of these individuals was determined by measuring the distance between scale circuli. In contrast to expectations, we found that native O. korogwe overall had a faster growth rate than the invasive O. niloticus, with hybrids showing growth rates more similar to O. korogwe. We propose that in Lake Rutamba the persistence of O. korogwe could be partially enabled by a faster growth rate than the large-bodied invasive O. niloticus. Based on these results, we suggest that predictions of the effects of invasive species on native biodiversity may benefit from information on relative fitness, in addition to ecological niche overlap.
Justification for selecting raw materials to minimize the content of sulfur dioxide in confectionery products
Authors:   All-Russian Research Institute of the Confectionery Industry — branch of the V.M. Gorbatov Federal Research Center for Food Systems of the RAS, Kazantsev E.V.
Published: December 2024

Raw materials and semi-fi nished products used in the manufacture of confectionery products may
contain food additives, including the preservative sulfur dioxide, ensuring their safety and highquality
characteristics throughout the appropriate shelf life. According to current legislation in the
fi eld of food safety, including confectionery products, the content of sulfur dioxide should not exceed
10 mg/kg of product. Meanwhile, there is a risk of high sulfur dioxide content in confectionery
products, which can negatively aff ect consumers’ health. Therefore, justifi cation for the choice of raw
materials and semi-fi nished products with a minimum content of the sulfur dioxide preservative is
an urgent problem for manufacturers in the confectionery industry. Research has been carried out
on the main raw materials and fruit semi-fi nished products in order to identify the sources of sulfur
dioxide in confectionery products. Based on the results obtained, it has been concluded that the
content of sulfur dioxide in sugar, fl our, and chocolate confectionery products is in wide ranges and
can exceed the concentration of 10 mg/kg of product, which is due, among other things, to the high
reactivity of this preservative with main raw materials and semi-fi nished products: starch syrup, oat
fl our, fruit fi llings based on sulfated fruit puree, dried fruits, and coconut fl akes.

Slovak Reflections on the August 1944 Coup in Romania and Its Impact on the Slovak National Uprising
Authors:   Faculty of Philosophy, Matej Bel University, Banská Bystrica, Slovakia, Syrný Marek
Published: December 2024

In July and August 1944, the former dominion and stability of the Third Reich began to shake at its foundations. First, a new front opened up in Western Europe and Germany began to fall into the Allies’ encircling pincers. Shortly thereafter, an unsuccessful attempt to change Hitler’s government took place, and a highly successful Soviet offensive was underway, which in a matter of weeks pushed the Red Army hundreds of miles closer to Berlin. The most decisive, however, was still August 1944, when as many as four major uprisings or coups took place in territories controlled or occupied by Germany. After the urban uprisings in Warsaw or Paris, there was a major reversal in Romania and, shortly afterwards, a broader uprising in Slovakia. This paper will address the possible inspiration of the Romanian coup for the decision and the developments in Slovakia at the end of August 1944. It will focus on Romania’s and Slovakia’s position in the German great power system up to that time. It will analyze the dilemmas of pro-German governments facing the prospect of a Soviet invasion of their country and of an overall German defeat. In particular, however, it attempts to answer the central question of the possible effects of the Romanian coup on the development of the situation in Slovakia in the context of the Slovak National Uprising.

Since the introduction of phenothiazines and butyrophenones, which frequently cause extrapyramidal disorders, the range of applications of biperiden has been extended to include antipsychotic-induced parkinsonism. Common side effects of biperiden are dryness of the mouth, accommodational disturbances, and constipation. We present the case of an elder female patient with schizophrenia who developed a de novo bradycardia after being started on oral biperiden. Though extremely rare as a side effect of biperiden, antimuscarinic agents may cause a dose-related moderate cardiac slowing. Considering its frequent use in psychiatric daily practice we believe that psychiatrists should keep this effect in mind.

Published: December 2024

Two studies were conducted within the framework of undesirable behavior in the workplace. The objective of the first study was to validate the Counterproductive Work Behavior Checklist – Short Version (CWB-C-10) for research purposes in Argentina. It was carried out with a sample of 874 workers (54.7% women, 44.6% men) from Argentina with a mean age of 37.5 years old (SD = 12.2). The analyses carried out confirmed the one-dimensional structure of the test. Likewise, the internal consistency through alpha and omega coefficients was adequate. The objective of the second study was to identify psychological and organizational variables (Dark Triad personality traits, engagement, and job satisfaction) that allow predicting the development of counterproductive work behavior. It was carried out with a sample of 103 active workers (60.9% women, 39.1% men) from Argentina with a mean age of 33 years old (SD = 10.7). As a result, it was observed that the Machiavellianism trait and the job satisfaction level were the variables with the greatest predictive power.

VIOLÊNCIAS DIGITAIS NA PERSPECTIVA DE GÊNERO
Authors: Setenta Aline Maron
Published: December 2024

O ciberespaço, como um ambiente virtual de convívio espelha os principais dilemas da sociedade e de seu tempo. As violências e preconceitos que ocorrem no ambiente off-line passam a ser reproduzidas no meio digital. Em relação às mulheres, o ambiente virtual reproduz opressões sociais, e se torna mais um espaço de legitimação de preconceito e discriminação baseada no gênero e na raça. No Brasil, as meninas são a maioria das vitimadas de Cyberbullying e exposição de imagens íntimas, com sérias repercussões na saúde mental e aumento no número de suicídio e automutilação. No Brasil há um avanço na tipificação de crimes virtuais que acometem principalmente mulheres, entretanto, além de uma legislação específica, é fundamental uma educação digital com perspectiva de gênero e raça fundada nos direitos humanos. Assim esse estudo de cunho exploratório busca refletir sobre o ambiente virtual como espaço de reprodução de violências na perspectiva de gênero e raça, as contribuições do ciberfeminismo e os desafios de regulação e da educação digital como ferramentas de defesa de populações vulnerabilizadas. O ciberespaço precisa ser reconhecido como parte da sociedade e seus atores devem estar submetidos às leis e princípios que regem o Estado democrático de Direito.
CULTURA DE PAZ E PROTEÇÃO DA COMUNIDADE LGBTQIA+ NA PERSPETIVA DO DIREITO ANTIDISCRIMINATÓRIO
Authors: Dias Patrícia Cardoso , Rosário Pedro Trovão do
Published: December 2024

De uma perspetiva individual e coletiva, o Direito Antidiscriminatório encontra-se vinculado com a formulação constitucional de dignidade da pessoa humana. Qualquer
forma de discriminação viola tal princípio aglutinador e no qual se funda o ordenamentojurídico e consubstancia uma dedução prática de um preconceito contra um determinadogrupo vulnerável, atribuindo a todos os membros do grupo caraterísticas negativascomuns, desconsiderando a virtuosidades e méritos individuais daqueles que o integram,colocando estes numa situação de segregação e subordinação social em relação ao grupodominante. Na fundamentação teórica do Direito Antidiscriminatório, acompanhando
Fernando Rey Martinez, observa-se, por conseguinte, duas dimensões: uma subjetivo-individual que remete para a dignidade de pessoa humana; outra, objetivo-institucional,
que evidencia a situação social do grupo a que pertencem as pessoas discriminadas.Identificam-se, assim, duas consequências imediatas: a primeira, promove adiscriminação por via da estigmatização daquilo que se afasta do padrão socialmentenormalizado; a segunda, reifica a reprodução cíclica de padrões normalizados,determinando um “esforço acrescido” de (aparente) tolerância para com caraterísticasdiferenciadas que não são incorporadas ab initio no desenvolvimento social e cultural dapessoa humana.

У статті розглядаються питання створення нової конструкції піролізної печі тривалого горіння. Була поставлена задача розробити легку та мобільну піч на дровах для опалення приміщень, бліндажів та для виробництва електроенергії на основі термоелектричного генератора. Для вирішення задачі за основу конструкції була взята плита газогенераторна вертикального типу з верхньою зоною горіння палива. Піч виготовлена зі стандартних труб з тонколистової нержавіючої сталі та під’єднується до димаря діаметром 100 мм і висотою 4 м. Вага печі 12,5 кг. У піч уміщається 10 … 12 кг дров твердолистових порід. За показником відношення маси дров до маси печі (1:1) піч не має аналогів в Україні. Наукова новизна роботи полягає у забезпеченні ефективності спалювання піролізного газу та підвищення коефіцієнта корисної дії (ККД) піролізної пічки шляхом підігріву вторинного повітря. Проведеними випробуваннями визначена тривалість горіння 10 кг дров ‒ 5 год. Теплова потужність печі по дровах 8 кВт, ККД 80,6 … 83,6 %. Для комплектації печі термоелектрогенератором експериментально визначена поверхнева щільність теплового потоку на гарячій поверхні, яка становила 1,2 … 1,7 Вт/см2, що дещо менше, ніж для плити на природному газі. В подальшому ККД печі може бути збільшений за рахунок використання для димаря нержавіючих труб-радіаторів.

Published: December 2024

Розроблено комплексну математичну модель системи теплопостачання, яка використовує енергію сезонного тепло-вого акумулятора з можливістю кристалізації теплоносія. Модель враховує взаємний вплив електромеханічних і теп-лотехнічних складових системи та призначена для визначення ефективного співвідношення конструктивних і режимних параметрів системи з тепловим акумулятором з кристалізацією і без неї. Як критерій енергетичної ефективності варіанта системи застосовано зниження споживання енергії з електричної мережі протягом опалювального сезону порівняно з таким споживанням системи з тепловим насосом, який бере енергію з атмосфери. Відношення вартостей економії електричної енергії й теплової ізоляції сезонного теплового акумулятора використано для оцінки ефективно-сті капітальних вкладень. Досліджено варіанти системи з сезонними тепловими акумуляторами: з водою у рідкому стані за зміни діапазону її робочих температур; з урахуванням тепла кристалізації всього об’єму води або його половини. Дослідження виконано для варіантів зміни потрібної енергії на опалення у 10 і 100 разів. Визначено закономірності зміни потужностей і температур протягом опалювального сезону, інтегральні величини критеріїв ефективності. Показано, що застосування теплового акумулятора з водою у рідкому стані може збільшити енергетичну ефективність систе-ми до двох разів. Визначено вплив використання теплоти кристалізації всього об’єму води на зміну потрібного об’єму теплового акумулятора, величини показників енергетичної та ресурсної ефективності. Варіант з кристалізацією програє варіанту з водою у рідкому стані за показниками енергетичної та ресурсної ефективності, але дозволяє змен-шити потрібну величину акумулятора. Для варіанта з кристалізацією половини об’єму води досліджено синергетичний ефект отримання питної води, очищеної розморожуванням, показано можливість покращення при цьому показників ресурсної ефективності у 2,5 … 8,5 раза, що може знижувати термін окупності витрат на теплову ізоляцію до кількох місяців.
DEVELOPING ELECTRICAL MODELS TO SIMULATE THE CONVERSION OF SOLAR RADIATION INTO ELECTRICAL AND THERMAL ENERGY
Authors: Бондаренко Д. В.
Published: December 2024

This article focuses on developing electrical models to investigate the conversion of solar radiation into both electrical and thermal energy. Our findings indicate that semiconductor converters are unable to harness the entire electromagnetic spectrum emitted by the sun. A substantial portion of solar radiation is transformed into heat. To achieve these results, we employed a corpuscular model to represent the solar radiation flow and a quantum mechanical framework to describe the energy associated with electromagnetic radiation and thermal processes within the crystal. To derive electrical modeling parameters, this study leveraged the principle of electrical and electrothermal analogies. We established a direct equivalence between the flow of solar photons and the flow of charge carriers represented by the electric current. Additionally, we demonstrated that the energy carried by photons is analogous to the voltage generated across the photovoltaic device. When modeling thermal energy using electrical circuits, we found that the electric current can be used to represent the flow of phonons, quasiparticles associated with thermal vibrations in the crystal, while the voltage corresponds to the energy of phonons. This study developed electrical models to simulate the conversion of solar radiation into both electrical and thermal energy. Current and voltage sources were employed to represent the energy conversion processes. It is shown that the internal resistances of energy sources in electrical models simulate the losses during the generation of electrical and thermal energy. It is noted that the proposed electrical model of a photovoltaic power source corresponds to the traditional equivalent circuit with a diode. The paper concludes by discussing the potential applications of the proposed modeling framework.
