Authors: Ishartono Naufal , Razak Rafiza binti Abdul , Kholid Muhammad Noor , Arlinwibowo Janu , Afiyah Asyifa Nur
Published: November 2023

Some previous studies tried to improve students' understanding of the concept of the composition of functions. However, only some research results still examine efforts to increase student understanding of the concept taught online, especially by utilizing the STEAM-integrated Flip Flop learning model. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the level of effectiveness of the application of the STEAM-integrated Flip Flop model in increasing students' understanding of composition function material taught online. To answer the purpose of the study, the authors compared the model with the Flipped Learning model and the conventional learning model. The quantitative method with a pretest-posttest control group design model is employed in the present study by engaging 90 Indonesian senior high school students. This study finds that the STEAM-integrated Flip Flop model is significantly better at improving students' understanding of the composition of function concepts than conventional models. However, the same result is not found if compared with the Flipped Learning model. Though the average score of the STEAM-integrated Flip Flop model is better than the Flipped Learning model, the difference is not significant. This study also describes the related syntax of the STEAM-integrated Flip Flop model that high school math teachers can use to teach better composition functions online.

Application and Parameterization of a 1D Multifluid Population Balance Model to Bubble Columns
Authors: Breit Ferdinand , Weibel Christian , Harbou Erik von
Published: November 2023

A 1D multifluid population balance model approach is presented as a
compromise between computational effort and accuracy. The approach is
used to test process scenarios, perform sensitivity analysis, and
provide a reliable scale-up and optimization tool. The study focuses on
a mini-plant batch bubble column, where the scale-up behavior in terms
of bubble column height, gas flux, and composition of the liquid phase
is investigated. Although simplifications were made, the model requires
calibration to experimental data using different calibration methods. An
optimal calibration procedure is found that minimizes experimental
effort while maximizing scalability. The model was tested on various
liquid-phase compositions, and it was found to reproduce experimental
data accurately. However, the model cannot reproduce flow regime changes
and does not perform well outside the calibrated concentration. The
study shows that the applied 1D multifluid populations balance approach
is a valuable and reliable tool in multiphase reactor scale-up and
optimization.
Chiral dual-core AIEgens based-on through-space coupling for high-performance organic light-emitting diodes with little efficiency roll-off
Authors: Chen Lifen , Deng Mingjia , Yin Shao-Yun , Fu Yu , Mu Yingxiao , Chen Jia-Xiong , Cui Lingyun , Ji Shaomin , Huo Yanping , Zhang Hao-Li
Published: November 2023

In this work, we demonstrate a chiral dual-core strategy for the design
of high-performance organic circularly polarized aggregation-induced
emission luminogens (AIEgens), which features of connecting two
thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) luminophore with chiral
linkage that allows efficient through-space coupling (TSC) to occur.
Using this strategy, a pair of dual-core enantiomers, R/S-DNKP, were
designed and synthesized by linking two benzophenone derivatives with a
1,1’-bi-2-naphthol unit. Compared to the mono-core counterpart NKP, the
dual-core emitters exhibited a much higher photoluminescence quantum
yields of 94%. Moreover, benefited from their chiral helical folding
configurations, the R/S-DNKP enantiomers exhibited a high luminescence
dissymmetry factor (|glum|) value up to 1.3×10-3 in
film states. Notably, the electroluminescence devices based on the
R/S-DNKP enantiomers achieved external quantum efficiency values of
21.5% and 19.7% with little roll-off. It is believed that this
molecular design strategy will pave new routes for the development of
high-performance chiral emitters for future organic photonic devices.

Solving the secrets of syntax: A review of the mechanisms influencing the syntactical organization of birdsong and human language
Authors: Wolverton Heather , Anderson Rindy C.
Published: November 2023

Many subcomponents of human language can be found within the vocal
communication systems of other species, most notably songbirds. One of
the most prominent of these subcomponents is syntax. While studies of
syntax are abundant, a lack of consensus on the definition of syntax has
led to much debate. The goal of this review paper is to solidify the
definitions of syntax and to explore the mechanisms that shape syntax
formation in songbirds and other species, with a specific focus on
neurobiology, genetics, dopamine, and chunking organization.
Host size matters for reproduction: evolution of spawning preference and female reproductive phenotypes in mussel-symbiotic freshwater bitterling fishes
Authors: Choi Hee-kyu , Lee Hyuk Je
Published: November 2023

Bitterling fishes evolve an idiosyncratic symbiosis with freshwater
mussels, in which they are obligated to spawn in the gills of mussels
for reproduction. In recent years, freshwater mussel populations have
been drastically diminishing, due to accelerating anthropogenic impacts,
which can be large threats to the risk of bitterling’s extinction
cascade (i.e. ‘coextinction’). The host mussel size may be an important
factor driving the adaptation and evolution of bitterling’s reproductive
phenotypes. Here we examined the host size preference and morphological
adaptation of female bitterling to the host size from 17 localities at
the Han River in Korea. Using our developed molecular-based species
identification for bitterling’s eggs/larvae inside the mussels, we
further determined the spawning patterns of seven bitterling species.
Mean length of spawned mussels (N=453) was significantly larger than
that of unspawned mussels (N=1,814), suggesting that bitterling prefers
to use larger hosts as a spawning ground. Spawning probability was
clearly greater as mussel size increases. Results of our reciprocal
transplant experiments do provide some evidence supporting the
‘bitterling’s larger host preference’ hypothesis. Interspecific
competition appeared to be intense as two fish species often spawned
eggs in the same mussel individuals simultaneously. Longer ovipositor
and more elongated egg may evolve in females of Tanakia signifier in
response to larger host environments. The observed bitterling’s spawning
preference for large-sized mussels may evolve perhaps because of the
fitness advantage in relation to the offspring survival. Our findings
further inform on the development of effective conservation and
management strategy for the endangered bitterling fishes.
Length and time scales for precipitation during carbon mineralization
Authors: Chen Michael Andrew , Yang Weipeng , Peng Huan , Kang Peter K , Voller Vaughan R.
Published: November 2023

In this study, we identify the key length and time scales associated
with CO2 mineralization in basalt reservoirs. This is achieved through
the development and application of a simple yet complete model of the
fate and transport of a supersaturated CO2-charged fluid moving
unidirectionally through an initially uniform basalt rock. The model
consists of three coupled equations describing, (i) the spatiotemporal
evolution of porosity with the mineralization reaction, (ii) the
resulting temporal and spatially varying fluid discharge, and (iii) the
fate and transport of the mineralization reactant(s) in the aqueous
phase. A dimensional analysis provides length and time scales that
characterize the extent and duration of field-scale carbon
mineralization. These scales are applied to a field site to estimate
poorly constrained mineralization parameters, notably, the effective
first-order reaction rate constant.

Published: November 2023

In Malaysia healthcare costs have posed challenges to the sustainability of the country's dual healthcare system, it is crucial to learn about the factors influencing consumer preferences for generic medicines. The public healthcare system predominantly uses generic drugs, private healthcare providers often prescribe originator brands to their patients. This practice places financial burdens on patients who must fund their medication independently or through private medical insurance. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to investigate the determinants affecting consumers' willingness to purchase generic medicine in Malaysia. Using convenience sampling, a total of 436 responses was obtained. Descriptive statistics and bivariate logistic regression analysis were employed to examine the influence of sociodemographic factors and individual knowledge on the willingness to purchase generic medicine. The results indicate that age, ethnicity, marital status, education level, household size and income significantly influence the consumers' willingness to purchase generic medicine. Notably, higher education levels and greater income were associated with a higher willingness to opt for generic medicine. Unexpectedly, variables measured by the Theory of Planned Behavior did not contribute substantially to the findings of this study. Nonetheless, individual knowledge was revealed as a significant determinant. To increase the uptake of generic medicines, this study recommends educational programs for both healthcare providers and patients, emphasizing the benefits and safety of generic medicine. This research contributes to the broader discussion on cost-effective healthcare solutions and informs policymakers and healthcare stakeholders in Malaysia.
Simulation and measurement of X-ray scattered radiation in radiodiagnosis
Authors: Tang Xian , Zhao Rui , Zhu Feng , Guo Bin , Qin Feng , Liu BO. , Wu Jin
Published: November 2023

This work aims to measure the scattered radiation energy spectrum and
radiation dose at different positions during radiological diagnosis
through the Monte Carlo simulation and experiment. The results show that
the average energy of the scattered radiation energy spectrum increases with
the increase of the tube voltage and decreases with the increase of the
scattering angle, but it changes very little with the measuring distance. It
is not unified for the scattered radiation distribution in the space around
the water phantom at the same tube voltage, and the exposure to scattered
radiation is greater on the side closer to the water phantom or the X-ray
tube. This indicates that the radiation exposure is not unified for medical
staff in the scattered radiation field. The scattering energy spectrum and
dose distribution are helpful to evaluate the scattered radiation exposure
and enhance the self-protection awareness of medical staff in practice.

Published: November 2023

The paper analyses results of spatio-temporal radiological risk assessment
scenarios based on existing in-situ long-term monitoring data from a natural
gas processing plant to analyse the effect of different input data on the
assessment outcome. The ERICA Assessment Tool was used to estimate the dose
rates to biota and potential impacts due to the exposure to ionising
radiation. The input data for radiological risk assessment scenarios
included annual data on activity concentration of radionuclides in soil
from measurements performed from 1994 to 2016 and laboratory
gamma-spectrometric data related to the period from 2014 to 2019. Predicted
total dose rate to biota was generally below the ERICA Tool's screening dose
rate of 10 ?Gyh-1 or slightly above, with the highest total dose rate
estimated for lichen and bryophytes. Total dose rates to lichen and
bryophytes in the studied period show certain temporal variation, but a
specific trend was not detected. Estimated total dose rates to biota from
different assessment scenarios were below internationally proposed reference
levels for which no detrimental effects are expected. The overall potential
radiological risk to terrestrial biota from the operation of the natural gas
processing plant was found to be negligible.

Published: November 2023

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of different priming
treatments on seed quality and initial growth and development of garden pea.
For this purpose, three garden pea cultivars, developed at the Institute of
Field and Vegetable crops, Novi Sad were examined. The laboratory experiment
was conducted under optimal conditions. Seeds were primed in water
(hydropriming), 0.5% KNO3 solution, and -0.49 MPa PEG solution for 24 hours;
non-primed seeds were controls. The results showed that the percentage of
germination, shoot and root length, and mean germination rate significantly
increased after the tested priming treatments, while the percentage of
abnormal seedlings and mean germi?nation time were significantly decreased
after the priming treatments compared to the control. The increase of fresh
and dry seedling biomass was significant only in cv.1 and cv.2. Despite the
genetic diversity of pea cultivars, the results indicated that the examined
seed priming treatments enhanced seed quality and vigour of garden pea
cultivars.
Wheat straw delignification by Djerkandera adusta (Willd.) P. Karst. 1879: The effect on enzymatic hydrolysis
Authors: Djokic Ivana , Knezevic Aleksandar , Savkovic Zeljko , Vukojevic Jelena
Published: November 2023

The use of lignocellulosic materials in the production of biofuels and
biochemicals holds a huge prospect since wood and agricultural residues
represent the most abundant global source of renewable biomass. However,
delignification is an inevitable step in lignocellulose pre-treatment
rendering the cellulose and hemicellulose more exposed to enzymatic
saccharification. The aim of this study was to assess the potential of
different Bjerkandera adusta strains to enhance the efficiency of enzymatic
saccharification of wheat straw after solid-state culturing. Three white-rot
fungal strains of Bjerkandera adusta (Willd.) P. Karst. 1879, (BEOFB1601,
BEOFB1602 and BEOFB1603) were used for partial delignification of wheat
straw during solid-state cultivation. Activity of ligninolytic enzymes were
measured spectrophotometrically while wheat straw residues were used for
determination of hemicelluloses, cellulose and lignin contents. Enzymatic
hydrolysis of pre-treated wheat straw was conducted using commercial
cellulase in loadings of 60 U g-1 of solid substrate. The content of
reducing sugars was measured calorimetrically using 1,4-dinitrosalycilic
acid. Enzymes predominantly responsible for lignin degradation by tested
fungal strains were peroxidases. The highest rate of lignin degradation was
noticed in samples pretreated with the strain BEOFB1601 (42.3 ? 3.7%). The
highest reducing sugars yield (8.6 ? 0.3 gGE L-1) was achieved after
enzymatic saccharification of samples pre-treated with the strain BEOFB1601,
as the most selective lignin degrader. The obtained results suggest that
fungal culturing as a bio?logical pre-treatment method can be significantly
strain specific. A key mechanism which enhances convertibility of
carbohydrates is selective lignin degradation of the biomass.
TURKISHNESS AND TURANISM IN THE CREATIVITY OF MUHAMMAD HADI
Authors: Abdullayeva Ulviyya
Published: November 2023

The article examines the problem of Turkism and Turanism in the poetry of one of the Azerbaijani romantics, Muhammad Hadi. It is shown that his work in the magazine "Füyuzat" and being a representative of the "Füyuzat" literary school increased the opinion of Turks from the beginning of his work. The idea of homeland, nation, and people described in his articles, his attitude to the issue of literary language, and his poems were also related to Turkism. Like A. Huseynzadeh, I. Gaspıralı, H.S. Ayvazov, M. Hadi not only defended the all-Turkish literary language, but even considered it necessary to adopt the Ottoman dialect of this language. The processes that took place around Turkey during the First World War, his presence in the war, strengthened the position of Turkism and Turanism in his work, and the ideology of Turkism, which appeared in the language of his poems and articles at the beginning of his work, deepened and gained new content. In his poems written during the republic, he calls for Turkish unity. In many of his poems written during this period, the poet calls to protect the independence won by the Turkish nation and to protect the motherland from the enemy. Although the idea of Turan and Turanism are not clearly emphasized in M. Hadi's poems, the spiritual map and ideology of the image of Turan are drawn in the poetic understanding of the ideology of Turkism.
Validity and Reliability of the Persian Version of the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Authors: Akbarfahimi Nazila
Published: November 2023

Objective: This study aimed to ascertain the validity and reliability of the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods: This study was conducted in a methodological, cross-sectional and prospective design. The study recruited 65 patients with TBI from the university rehabilitation centers in Tehran, Iran and matched them with 65 healthy participants in terms of age and sex. Concurrent validity was evaluated using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT). The discriminant validity was evaluated through a comparison of the mean FAB scores between healthy participants and patients with TBI. The reliability was assessed with the analyses of internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and inter-judges reliability. Data was analyzed in SPSS V. 22 software. Results: FAB score in patients did not vary with age, sex and education. There was a significant correlation between the FAB score and MMSE (r=0.791, p<0.001) and also various executive measures: the number of categories achieved (r=0.745, p<0.001) and the number of perseveration errors (r=0.307, p<0.05) in the WCST and all parts of the Stroop test (p<0.001), except the interference score (p>0.05). The FAB exhibited acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach’s α: 0.863) and also good test-retest (r=0.882, 95%CI = 0.77–0.95) and inter-judges reliability (r=0.994, 95%CI = 0.77–0.95). A cut-off of 15 for the total FAB score yielded the highest sensitivity (0.93) and specificity (0.90) to discriminate between patients with TBI and healthy participants. Conclusion: Our present study shows that the Persian version of the FAB is an easy, quick and confident tool for the screening of executive dysfunction in patients with TBI.
Insights into Cytomegalovirus Transmission Dynamics: Bridging the Gap between Mathematical Modeling and Public Health Strategies
Authors: Gu Yuan
Published: November 2023

This mini-review delves into the crucial role of mathematical modeling in understanding cytomegalovirus (CMV) transmission dynamics. While infectious disease modeling often focuses on the population level, it is essential to recognize that immune development takes place at the individual level. This review explores recent advancements in both stochastic and deterministic modeling approaches and their contributions to our understanding of CMV transmission. Stochastic modeling enables us to investigate the efficiency and risk factors associated with CMV transmission in high- risk populations, such as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) recipients, shedding light on factors influencing transmission. Deterministic modeling emphasizes the importance of viral replication, immune response, transmission efficiency, and the role of vectors. It underlines the need for a comprehensive understanding of these factors to develop effective prevention and control strategies. Integrated deterministic and stochastic models offer a holistic perspective, explaining phenomena like prolonged oral CMV shedding during primary infection and highlighting the importance of timing and immune suppression levels in transplacental transmission risk. In conclusion, these modeling insights can be integrated into public health strategies for CMV management, including targeted pre- transplant screening, enhanced post-transplant surveillance, optimized immunebased interventions, minimized transmission risks in HCT, vector control, and timing-sensitive intervention guidelines. This comprehensive approach can substantially enhance CMV prevention and control efforts, benefiting vulnerable populations and the broader community.

Financial Development and Integration, Exchange Rate Regimes, and Economic Growth: New Evidence from African Economies
Authors: Grandes Martín , Yeo Dossina
Published: November 2023

This paper examines empirically the extent to which financial development, financial integration and exchange rate regime (ERR) altogether influence positively economic growth in Africa. To achieve this, we build two baseline panel data samples of African countries and new expanded datasets spanning 1980-2015 using a small sample adjusted Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator. To check the robustness of our results, we build two other panel samples by adding on the two previous panel data samples, data from emerging and developed countries and repeat the analysis. The results from the estimations suggest that financial development and financial integration influence positively and significantly economic growth, whereas exchange rate regime has no significant effect on economic performance, controlling for the usual growth- regression variables like trade openness, human capital, investment, governance and the lagged value of per capita GDP.

Este artículo describe y analiza la conmemoración que realizan las revistas argentinas Somos y Gente en 1983 al cumplirse el primer aniversario del desembarco de las tropas argentinas en las Islas Malvinas. Se utilizan categorías operativas de la sociosemiótica y el análisis del discurso para analizar en los órdenes temático, retórico y enunciativo el discurso periodístico, desde el punto de vista de sus condiciones de producción. Los resultados muestran que, si bien activan y configuran memorias similares, cada publicación convalida el posicionamiento que había adoptado durante la contienda del conflicto. La principal conclusión que se extrae es que, aun perteneciendo a una misma empresa editorial y presentando similitudes desde el punto de vista del contenido sobre lo que se recuerda y lo que se omite acerca la guerra, la editorialización es diferente en cada caso.

Handling Islamophobia in Edmund Spenser’s Poem The Faerie Queen
Authors: Aldoory Instructor Arwa Hussein
Published: November 2023

Being a growing religion throughout the world, Islam isincreasingly becoming the ghost which threatens to shatter the establishednorms of the Western thinking. Islamophobia, hence, grew as a doctrine whichdesignates fear and antagonisms towards Islam as a religion and a system ofcultural behavior. It has been widely represented in English literaturethroughout various literary ages. This paper is concerned with Islamophobia inEdmund Spenser‟s epic poem The Faerie Queene (1595), which is rankedamong the greatest works in the history of English literature. Spenser employsthis work to represent his biased attitude to Christianity and to portray thetyrannous reign of Muslims. The paper argues that Islamophobia, as a concept,is recently conjured; however it is very old as an ideology in the history of thehuman race since it represents the Western mindset which is based on theprejudice and hatred of the „other.‟ The faerie Queen, which is set in themedieval ages, reflects a religious antagonism towards Muslims who achievedgreat victories over the Crusaders in Jerusalem. The paper, for this reason,questions whether the term of Islamophobia which is a modern one is fit todescribe the prejudiced tone against Muslims in a sixteenth century work. Itemploys Edward Said‟s discourse of the binary opposition, which has beentackled in his outstanding book Orientalism, as a theoretical framework. It alsocomes across his book covering Islam in order to argue that Islam has beenportrayed as a „form of heresy‟, synonymous with terrorism and religioushysteria.
