The Effect of Adolescents' Attention Problem on Academic Helplessness through Peer Relationships: The Moderated Mediating Effect of Cognitive Empathy
Authors: Han Sae-Young , Choi Hyesun , Mo In-Kyung , Sohn Eun-Hye
Published: July 2024

A purpose of this study is to examine the moderated mediating effect of cognitive empathy on the effects of adolescents' attention problems on academic helplessness through peer relationships. 2,265 male and female adolescents in the first year of middle school surveyed in 2021, which is the 4th wave data of the Korea Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018 produced by the Korea Youth Policy Institute, were selected as research subjects. SPSS 27.0 and the PROCESS macro version 4.2 (Hayes, 2022) programme were used to analyze the data in this study. The mediating effect of peer relationships was significant in the pathway from adolescents' attention problems to academic helplessness, and the moderating effect of cognitive empathy was significant in the pathway from adolescents' attention problems to peer relationships. Therefore, adolescents' attention problems affect their psychological attitudes toward peer relationships and academics and are a cognitive factor that also affects social relationships and academics. In addition, the cognitive empathy ability to recognize other people's emotions is another resource for approaching attention problems. These findings provide a basis for further research to identify cognitive and social factors that mitigate adolescents' academic helplessness.

Published: July 2024

Humans are inherently social beings, relying on communication for their survival. Video clips serve as a significant medium for expression and interpersonal connection. They hold the power to influence the public through visual narratives that complement lyrical content. Viewers often experience a direct emotional connection with the message conveyed in a video clip. In the case of Maher Zain's "The Chosen One," directed by Lena Khan, the narrative depicts the daily interactions of a Muslim individual within American society, predominantly comprised of non-Muslims. The video begins and ends with a textual reference to the inspiration drawn from Prophet Muhammad SAW, setting the thematic tone. This research endeavours to dissect the denotative, connotative, and mythological layers embedded within "The Chosen One" video clip. Music videos are complex constructs woven with various signs and symbol systems, combining visual and linguistic elements to encode messages. In this study, semiotic analysis, employing Roland Barthes' methodology, is utilized to uncover explicit meanings within the video clip. Barthes' framework distinguishes between denotation and connotation, with the latter delving into the realm of ideology or 'myth,' elucidating prevalent societal values. The findings of this research unveil the transmission of Islamic Shariah da'wah messages to the audience, emphasizing the integral role of Shariah in Islam. Shariah encompasses divine laws governing human relationships with the divine and with fellow beings, serving as a guiding framework for ethical conduct in daily life

In brief

Since available therapeutic approaches for chemotherapy-induced non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) patients are not enough efficient, an urgent need for treatment alternatives is felt. This study shows that adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosome (AD-Exo) treatment is more effective in ameliorating busulfan-induced NOA rat models compared to platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) are unable to have their children. Therefore, there is an urgent need for additional treatment alternatives for these patients. Recently, novel treatments based on the exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as the agents responsible for exerting the paracrine effects and consequently biological functions of MSCs are proposed. Besides, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a significant blood byproduct has been therapeutically applied in several male infertility studies. In this study, we compared the effects of PRP and exosome treatment on spermatogenesis restoration in NOA rat models. Exosomes and PRP were isolated from the adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AD-MSCs) collected from conditioned medium and peripheral blood of human volunteers, respectively. Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) induction was done through two doses of busulfan at a 21-day interval. Thirty-five days after NOA induction, intratesticular injection of AD-MSCs-derived exosome (AD-Exo), PRP, and PBS was performed. The control group did not receive any treatment. Two months later, the rats were euthanized for further analysis. Our results revealed that both AD-Exo and PRP treatments improved the size and weight of testis, modulated the expression level of Dazl, Ddx4, Stra8, Pwil1, and Ccna1, and ameliorated the serum level of LDH, SOD, and GR enzymes in NOA rats. Moreover, the AD-Exo group showed improved testosterone, GPx, MAD, and CAT serum levels, sperm motility, and protein levels of DAZL and DDX4. This investigation verified the more efficient effects of AD-Exo treatment in comparison to PRP in ameliorating busulfan-induced NOA rat models.

In brief

SORBS2, an RNA-binding protein, is identified as a regulator of aerobic glycolysis, which is essential for trophoblast migration and placental development. Reduced SORBS2 expression in preeclampsia may impair trophoblast migration by affecting mRNA stability and glycolysis, suggesting its role in the disease’s pathogenesis.

Insufficient trophoblast migration and impaired uterine spiral artery remodeling are implicated in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, contributing to inadequate placentation. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains unclear. Aerobic glycolysis, which produces substantial lactate, is crucial for establishing a favorable microenvironment for early uterine preparation and supporting embryo implantation and trophoblast migration. In the present study, we have demonstrated that SORBS2, an RNA-binding protein, regulated aerobic glycolysis and significantly improved trophoblast migration in vitro. Our results showed that SORBS2 expression was significantly reduced in human PE placentas and trophoblasts during hypoxia. Overexpression of SORBS2 enhanced cell proliferation and migration, whereas knockdown of SORBS2 decreased these functions in HTR-8/SVneo cells. Mechanistic studies have demonstrated that SORBS2 directly interacts with the 3′ untranslated regions (UTRs) of key glycolysis-related genes, specifically HK2. This interaction results in enhanced stability of HK2 and activation of glycolysis. Moreover, silencing HK2 abrogated the enhancement of proliferation and migration of HTR-8/SVneo cells induced by SORBS2. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the downregulation of SORBS2 may contribute to the pathogenesis of preeclampsia by regulating mRNA stability and inhibiting trophoblast migration during placentation.

Проведено комплексное исследование углеводородного состава и физико-химических свойств побочных продуктов нефтепереработки и нефтехимии с целью поиска новых низкомаржинальных компонентов топлива маловязкого судового (ТМС) и оптимизации состава композиций топлива для расширения сырьевой базы ТМС. Установлена возможность вовлечения в ТМС утяжеленных фракций первичной и вторичной переработки нефти: 10–12 % утяжеленной дизельной фракции, 47–60 % прямогонной среднедистиллятной фракции, 2–10 % тяжелой дизельной фракции, 35 % вакуумного дистиллята, 10 % кубового остатка блоков гидрирования, 4–10 % легкого газойля каталитического крекинга. Найден способ получения нового компонента ТМС – фракции с пределами выкипания 180–270 °С, полученной из отходов нефтепереработки после их обезвоживания и фракционирования с выходом до 30 %, вовлечение которой в ТМС в количестве 5 % даст экономический эффект около 7 млн руб. в год. Методом математического моделирования проведена оптимизация состава топлива из основных и побочных продуктов с учетом объемов производства и фактических значений критичных показателей каждого компонента.

A comprehensive study of the hydrocarbon composition and physicochemical properties of by-products of oil refining and petrochemistry was carried out to search for new low-margin components of low-viscosity marine fuel (LMF) and to optimize the fuel composition for expanding the raw material base of LMF. The possibility of involving the heavy fractions from primary and secondary oil refining in LMF has been established: 10-12 % higher-weight diesel fraction, 47-60 % straight-run medium distillate fraction, 2-10 % heavy diesel fraction, 35% vacuum distillate, 10 % still residue from hydrogenation units, 4-10 % light catalytic cracking gas oil. A method has been found for obtaining a new component of LMF – a fraction boiling within 180-270 °C, obtained from oil refining wastes after their dehydration and fractionation in the yield of up to 30 %, the involvement of which in LMF (5 %) will give an economic effect of about 7 million roubles per year. Mathematical modelling was used to optimize the composition of fuel from the main and by-products, taking into account the production volumes and the actual values of critical indicators of each component.

AbstractEarly identification is an important factor of the development of giftedness. The research was aimed at encouraging the development of a potentially gifted child in the preschool curriculum. It was conducted in the Osijek Kindergarten (the Republic of Croatia) during the 2016/17 and 2017/18 pedagogical years, including a boy (M), his parents and teachers. Action research methodology with ethnographic elements was used here. The methods included a systematic observation and a collection of documentation based on ethnographic records. Appropriate strategies for encouraging this gifted boy were discussed and analyzed, relying on the ethnographic records (documentation), the reflexive meetings of the teachers and the external collaborator-the researcher from the faculty. The research had three stages. The stimulating environment for learning, the differentiation of learning experiences and the cooperation with parents and the community stand out in the research results as the strategies for encouraging the development of a gifted child. Apart from encouraging the boy’s giftedness, the teachers, the preschool curriculum, the institution and the social environment developed professionally during the research. The research is methodologically limited because of its small sample size, but it is potentially significant due to its phenomenological aspects.Key words: action research; ethnographic records; learning environment; parents; preschool teacher.---SažetakVažan čimbenik razvoja darovitosti je rana identifikacija.

„Áldjon vagy verjen sors keze, itt élned, halnod kell” – Új megközelítés a magyarországi kivándorlás motívumainak feltárásában
Authors: Szilasi Judit , Nguyen Luu Lan Anh , Fülöp Márta
Published: July 2024

Háttér és célkitűzések: A kivándorlás az elmúlt másfél évtizedben Magyarországon jelentős. A jelen kutatás célja az elvándorló és a Magyarországon maradó magyarok csoportjában annak feltárása, hogy milyen szubjektív jelentést tulajdonítanak ennek a két csoportnak és ezen keresztül azonosítani a távozást/maradást motiváló elemeket és ezzel hozzájárulni a magyar kivándorlás, illetve otthon maradás motívumrendszerének komplexebb pszichológiai megértéséhez. Módszer: A kutatás során az Asszociatív Csoportanalízis (AGA) módszert alkalmaztuk. A vizsgálatban részt vevők az alábbi hívószavakra asszociáltak: „Magyarországon élő magyar”, „külföldön élő magyar”. Összesen 204 magyar állampolgár: 102 Magyarországon élő és 102 külföldön élő válaszolt. A minta összeállítása nemre, korra, iskolai végzettségre és településtípusra illesztett volt. Eredmények: A vizsgálatban részt vevő lokálisan két helyen élő csoport asszociációi a magyarországi magyarokkal és a külföldi magyarokkal kapcsolatban a szubjektív jelentés erős hasonlóságaira mutattak rá, ami arra enged következtetni, hogy a közös társadalmi-kulturális kontextus befolyásolja a válaszokat. Az országban maradottakat mindkét csoport erősen negatívan, míg a kivándorló csoportot erősen pozitívan látja. A Magyarországon maradókat egyfajta tanult tehetetlenség jellemzi, míg a kivándorló csoportot a bátorság és a kockázatvállalás. A kivándorlás és az országban maradás motívumai az elszakadás és kötődés, a hazafiság és hazafiatlanság, az énfelnagyítás és éndevalváció és a nyitott és zárt gondolkodás dimenziói mentén értelmezhetőek. Következtetések: A vizsgálat a magyarországi és a külföldi léthez eltérő élettapasztalatokat kapcsoló csoportok jelentéstulajdonításának hasonlóságai és különbségei feltárásával hozzájárul az elvándorlás és az otthon maradás motivációinak megértéséhez.
Assessment of psychedelic--induced states: Norwegian translation and adaptation of the revised Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ-30)
Authors: Andreas Aamodt Andersen Kristoffer , Holmøy Bjørn , Stewart Lowan Han
Published: July 2024

Background

Previous international clinical trials have indicated that mystical experiences resulting from the consumption of classic psychedelic drugs, such as psilocybin, may represent a subjective psychological mechanism of action associated with therapeutic effects for various mental disorders. The revised 30-item Mystical Experience Questionnaire is one of several psychometric scales designed to evaluate such subjective experiences induced by psychedelic drugs. The field of psychedelic research is growing in Scandinavian countries, yet there is currently a lack of translated and culturally adapted Norwegian versions of rating scales for assessing psychedelic drug-induced states of consciousness. With planned and upcoming psychedelic research projects in Norway, there is a need for a Norwegian version of the MEQ30.

Aims

We aimed to translate and adapt the Revised Mystical Experiences Questionnaire (MEQ30) from English to Norwegian.

Methods

We used rigorous translation methods, including two independent forward translations, one back-translation, pilot testing on a small psychedelic user group (n = 6) and cognitive debriefing in an expert-panel (n = 6) to ensure a culturally adapted Norwegian translation.

Results

Our translation and adaptation procedure resulted in a final Norwegian version of the MEQ30.

Conclusion

The Norwegian MEQ30 is ready to be implemented in future Norwegian trials. Its psychometric properties have not yet been assessed.
SEJARAH KONFLIK UMMAT ISLAM DI INDONESIA
Authors: Zainurofiq Zainurofiq
Published: July 2024

In the course of history, there are at least three problems that have induced conflicts among Muslim ummat in Indonesia. First, an ideological conflict that divides Muslims into those who aspires Islam as a basis of the state and those who promote nationalism as a principal basis of the state. Such a conflict has occurred in the 20th century and remains take place presently. Pancasila that has been issued as an ideology of the state is not more that just a compromised, middle-road solution to this conflict. Second, a conflict of religious thought that has embodied in the Islamic organizations. Formerly, this can take forms of ‘traditionalist’ and ‘reformist’ conflict that is represented respectively by Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah, or even a conflict of intra-reformist organizations such as Muhammadiyah-Serikat Islam, or a conflict of intra-single organization as happens to NU. The emergence of new Islamic mass-organizations in the Reform era seems to be a valve of this conflict of religious thought. Third is a conflict of the nature and orientation of Indonesian culture. In the early 1930s, a sharp conflict revolving around whether Indonesian culture should emulate the Western culture or Eastern culture took place. The debate over Pornography Act currently is not other than a sort of this conflict.

Pupujian merupakan tradisi keagamaan Islam yang tumbuh kembang di tatar Sunda, bahkanNusantara. Pupujian merupakan “basa ugeran” yang berupa puja-puji, do’a, nasihat, tafsir Al-Qur’an,keterangan tentang hadits, riwayat Rasulullah, uraian tentang fikih atau bab agama lainnya, yangbiasanya dinyanyikan di mesjid-mesjid atau pesantren-pesantren pada saat menunggu salatberjama’ah, antara adzan dan qomat. Terdapat pro-kontra tentang pupujian ini, apakah termasukibadah yang ada dasarnya (Al-Qur’an dan Sunnah) atau tidak ada? Dengan demikian pada tulisan inipenulis mencoba mencari teks-teks rujukan baik dari Al-Qur’an, Sunnah, maupun teks kesusastraanArab yang menjadi latar atas teks-teks pupujian. Untuk mencari teks-teks rujukan tersebut, penulismenggunakan pendekatan semiotik, dalam hal ini teori semiotika intertekstual Julia Kristeva.

Komunitas adat di Indonesia merupakan kelompok masyarakat yang menempati wilayah tertentu yang dicirikan oleh ketaatan dalam menjalankan adat istiadat warisan leluhur. Di Indonesai bagian Jawa barat terdapat 14 komunitas adat yang mempertahankan nilai-nilai adat dan tradisinya di tengah-tengah lingkungan modern saat ini. Penelitian menggunakan jenis kualitatif melalui analisis deskriptif melalui dokumen dan survei. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Komunitas Adat di Jawa Barat, agama tidak dijadikan suatu sistem yang mengatur tata keimanan dan peribadatan, tetapi difungsikan sebagai edukasi, penyelamatan, pengawasan sosial, pembentuk persaudaraan dan transformatif dengan konsep mengikat diri dengan Tuhannya. Pranata keagamaan terselenggara berdasarkan filosofi kehidupan “Berusaha mencari kesempurnaan” dengan maksud untuk mengetahui asal mula dan akhir. Orientasinya adalah kembali kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa dengan harapan memperoleh suatu ketentraman. Sumber ajaran difusikan dari ajaran agama terdahulu dengan ajaran Islam yang diinternalisasi pada nilai-nilai tradisi budaya leluhur. Nilai Instrumennya berpangkal dari nilai achieving seseorang yang diinginkan warga pada masa hidupnya. Sistem nilai dibangun berdasarkan hirarki nilai individu ke dalam term kesadaran yang mengkolektif. Sistem sosial dibangun atas situasi keseimbangan antara sosial dan agama yang datang dikonstruk pada situasi normal melalui reorganisasi. Rekomendasinya, perlu pelestarian prinsip budaya kesundaan yang diadaptasi pada situasi modern agar tidak tergerus jaman dengan cara dukungan moril, ilmu pengetahuan, toleransi.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThis paper aims to find the meanings of the signs which are contained in the Prophet Sulaiman and Saba’ Queen story. On the other view, this paper aims to reveal the interpersonal communication process between them that allegedly contain expression of love which ended in marriage. These meanings are analyzed using Peircean semiotics. Peircean semiotics focus of its triadic system, with the result that researcher has to pass three stages of analysis (represntament, object and interpretant) when he interpret the signs, and also this research intended to apply the interpersonal communication theory. After reading Prophet Sulaiman and Saba’ Queen story through Peircean semiotic views and interpersonal communication theory, this research finds some language symbols which are indicated love expressing. Those language symbols –among others- are the application of fiil mabni li majhul qila that implicated meaning of Sulaiman’s hospitable and friendly attitude to Queen Saba’. Direct imperative sentence without harfu nida ya’ implicate Sulaiman’s hope to feel close with Saba’ Queen.  And then, love indication that shown by Saba’ Queen is her positive response to Sulaiman’s letter. As for the Sulaiman’s feeling expression process that explained by al-Quran explicitly are (1) sensing (2) interpreting, (3) feeling, (4) intending, and (5) expressing. Whereas Saba’ Queen’s feeling expression process explained by al-Quran explicitly are (1) sensing and (2) expressing. Keywords: Representament; object; interpersonal communication; sign.

Di Indonesia, para ulama telah memainkan peranan yang sangat penting dan strategis. Mereka berperan bukan hanya dalam peningkatan spiritual umat saja, akan tetapi juga dalam mendobrak kekuasaan pemerintahan Kolonial. Sejarah menjadi saksi betapa ulama telah berjasa besar dalam perjuangan kemerdekaan. Bukan hanya itu, ulama juga memainkan peranan penting dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat dikarenakan mereka memiliki posisi sebagai pemimpin informal, guru, pembina, dan pengajar agama khususnya. Dimana disini masyarakat menganggap ulama adalah pewaris Nabi Muhammad SAW dan perantara mereka dalam memahami ajaran yang dibawa oleh Nabi Muhammad SAW. Islam memandang para ulama merupakan penerus jejak risalah dan contoh panutan untuk masyarakat guna selamat.Begitu pun dengan Syekh Baing Yusuf, beliau merupakan salah satu tokoh penyebar agama Islam di Purwakarta. Beliau telah berkelana ke Madagaskar dan melanjutkan perjalanannya ke Tanah Suci guna menuntut ilmu. Dalam beberapa sumber sejarah Purwakarta, disebutkan bahwa Baing Yusuf merupakan tokoh sentral dalam penyebaran dan pengembangan agama Islam yang terdapat di Purwakarta. Baing Yusuf merupakan guru dari pendiri Pondok Pesantren Sempur, K.H. Bakri (masyarakat Purwakarta dan khususnya masyarakat setempat lebih mengenal dengan panggilan Mama Sempur).

ABSTRAKJaelani Husni: Tradisi Ziarah Sabtuan di Komplek Pemakaman Syekh Quro.Tradisi ziarah sabtuan merupakan akumulasi dari jejak peninggalan sosok penyebar agama Islam di Karawang, yakni Syekh Quro. Sejak ditemukannya makam Syekh Quro oleh Raden Soemaredja tahun 1859, maka sejak saat itulah tradisi ziarah menjadi rutinitas yang berkembang secara berkala, berkesinambungan dan semakin ramai oleh karena dilakukan secara berjamaah. Adapun tradisi sabtuan baru dikenal pada tahun 1992 oleh adanya keinginan untuk melembagakan tradisi agar dapat membuat ramai, nyaman dan aman bagi para jamaah yang akan melaksanakan ziarah.Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apa yang dimaksud dengan tradisi ziarah sabtuan, bagaimana tahapan – tahapan ziarah sabtuan dan dampak apa yang dirasakan setelah dilaksanakannya tradisi ziarah sabtuan.Adapun metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian sejarah yang meliputi tahap heuristik, kritik, interpretasi dan historiografi. Melalui pendekatan ilmu bantu antropologis sebagai pisau analisis untuk membedah fenomena sejarah diatas, sangatlah berguna dan membantu dalam memahami objek penelitian sejarah bersangkutan.Tradisi adalah anasir budaya tentang pola tingkah laku umat manusia yang diwariskan dari generasi ke generasi dalam melingkupi lingkungannya tertentu. Tradisi juga merupakan bagian dari realigi sebagai bagian dari unsur kebudayaan. Adapun kebudayaan merupakan hasil karya, karsa cipta manusia yang dimulai dari ide, tindakan yang mewujud dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.Sebagai bagian dari unsur kebudayaan yang berbentuk religi, praktek tradisi ziarah sabtuan tidak bisa lepas dari adanya suatu getaran jiwa, yang biasanya disebut emosi keagamaan, atau religious emotion. Emosi keagamaan ini biasanya pernah dialami oleh setiap manusia, walaupun getaran emosi itu mungkin hanya berlangsung untuk beberapa detik saja, untuk kemudian menghilang lagi. Diluar dari dalam rangka ibadah, emosi keagamaan itulah yang mendorong orang melakukan tindakan – tindakan yang bersifat religi, tak terkecuali pada tradisi ziarah sabtuan di Komplek Pemakaman Syekh Quro.Oleh karena itu, lahirnya tradisi ziarah sabtuan adalah berawal dari gagasan, tindakan dan diimplementasikan dalam bentuk doa’ – do’a yang diturunkan dari generasi ke generasi hingga dewasa kini. Adapun kurun 1992 – 2012 merupakan tahun lahirnya tradisi haulan dan sabtuan sekaligus kemajuan secara kualitas dan kuantitas karena semua tradisi keagamaan itu telah dilembagakan dan diformal-institusionalisasikan semata-mata atas dasar tasyakur bi nikmat dan fastabikul khoirot.

This paper aims to re-examine one of the themes in the Prophet's hadith, namely "al-aimmatu min Quraish". Ahlu Sunnah, understand the point "descendants of Quraysh" in the preconditions of Imamat as an ijma '. Although this does not close the opportunity to present thinkers who reject the consensus. But when testing this hadith in terms of hadith, social, and historical reality. It is proven that what is a sunnah consensus is not a blind dogma, let alone merely a political tool. But it is another sign, the truth of Muhammad's prophethood.

Authors: Khotimah Husnul , Lestari Sri
Published: July 2024

This research aims to understand the balance between family and organization among women activists of the Islamic Community Organization (Ormas) of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. This research uses a qualitative approach with an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) design. Eight women who had been active in the organization for at least five years were the participants. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and recorded with audio recording. The research results show that female mass organization activists feel capable of helping, amar ma'ruf nahi munkar, serving the people, and being valuable people. Participants received family support from husbands and parents. Husbands support participants in being committed to the organization and willing to share roles in household matters and childcare. Meanwhile, support from parents takes the form of encouragement to continue being active in the organization and helping to look after children when participants are active. For women with dual roles in the family and organization, social support is essential to balance roles in the family and organization.

Ichthyosis Follicularis, Atrichia, and Photophobia (IFAP) Syndrome, Type 2: Clinical Case
Authors: Ambarchyan Eduard T. , Kuzminova Anastasiya D. , Eldarova Totuy K. , Ivanchikov Vladislav V. , Zhurkova Nataliya V. , Vashakmadze Nato D.
Published: July 2024

Background. Ichthyosis follicularis with atrichia and photophobia (IFAP syndrome), type 2 is a rare hereditary disease from the group of syndromic forms of ichthyosis. It is clinically characterized by triad of non-inflammatory follicular ichthyosis, total or subtotal alopecia at birth or shortly after, and photophobia of different severity. There is no etiotropic therapy for IFAP syndrome, while symptomatic treatment (emollients, keratolytics, retinoids) is aimed on stabilizing the patient’s condition and maintaining the optimal quality of life. About 60 cases of IFAP syndrome have been described worldwide by 2023, and none in Russia.

Clinical case description. The girl, 2 years 3 months old, had signs of xeroderma, follicular hyperkeratosis, photophobia with lacrimation, and alopecia. The diagnosis of “ichthyosis follicularis with atrichia and photophobia (IFAP syndrome), type 2, autosomal dominant” was established according to anamnesis, clinical signs, and results of whole-exome sequencing, followed by validation of the identified nucleotide variant chr17:17720597G>A, p.1669C>T (p.Arg557Cys NM_001005291.2) in exon 9 of the SREBF1 gene via direct automatic sequencing in the patient and both parents (not revealed in her parents).

Conclusion. Molecular genetic testing is crucial to establish IFAP syndrome as clinical signs of the disease are similar to other dermatoses. However, physicians need to have clinical suspicion when identifying cases of follicular ichthyosis in combination with alopecia and photophobia at or shortly after birth to timely diagnose IFAP syndrome and thus prevent any treatment delays.
Capture and Release of Minke Whales Offers New Research Opportunities, Including Measurements of Mysticete Hearing

Knowledge about species-specific hearing is vital to assessing how anthropogenic noise impacts marine mammals. Unfortunately, no empirical audiogram exists for any mysticete whale. We therefore developed a catch-and-release method to assess hearing in a small mysticete, the minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata). Stationary lead nets were placed to intercept migratory routes and direct the whales into an ocean basin enclosed by nets and islets, while another net was pulled across the entrance once a whale entered the basin. The minke whales were then slowly corralled into a modified aquaculture pen using a net suspended between two boats. Subsequently, the water volume available to the whales was gradually reduced by raising the pen net by hand until the whales were secured in a “hammock” between the floating pen ring and a raft. From the raft, researchers could access the whales to monitor their health, apply instruments for hearing tests, or perform other research objectives, and then attach tags to monitor the movements and diving behavior of the whale post-release. The method is a slow and controlled procedure, allowing continuous monitoring and quick release of the whales, if needed. In the first three field seasons employing the method, three minke whales were caught for research procedures. Initial hearing measurements using auditory evoked potentials were successfully completed. After release, the whales resumed migration, and dive behavior was considered normal. Our observations demonstrated that minke whales can be guided safely via moored net barriers, corralled into an aquaculture pen, and safely handled for research purposes, before being released back into the wild.
EXAMINING THE ECO-FRIENDLY ASPECTS OF ETHANOLâMETHANOL BLENDED GASOLINE ON ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND EMISSIONS
Authors: Cesur Idris , Eren Beytullah
Published: July 2024

The increasing global demand for energy, environmental concerns, and the limited availability of energy
resources have heightened interest in alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. In this context, internal combustion engines like gasoline engines play a significant role in the search for environmentally friendly and sustainable energy sources. Alcohols are among the most used alternative fuels in spark-ignition engines. This study examines the feasibility of using ethanol and methanol
alcohols as fuels simultaneously in a gasoline engine. The research investigates the effects of blending
10% ethanol and 10% methanol alternative fuels with gasoline and using the resulting blended fuel as
the engine's fuel source on motor performance and exhaust emissions. The study was conducted under throttle wide-open conditions at different engine speeds. The results revealed a maximum decrease of 1.3% in effective power. Significant reductions in hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions were
observed at all engine speeds, with maximum reductions of 18% and 19%, respectively. Furthermore,
a decrease in carbon monoxide emissions is evident across the entire spectrum of engine speeds, underscoring
the potential of ethanol-methanol blended gasoline to contribute to a reduced carbon footprint in the transportation sector. As a result of the study, in the case of using ethanol and methanol in engines, both the higher oxygen content of alcohols and their high evaporation energy due to their cooling effect cause an improvement in the emission values emitted from the engine without significant deterioration in engine performance parameters.
Sexual awareness and time structuring in the light of transactional analysis. Research report
Authors: Karaś Weronika
Published: July 2024

The article is a report on the research conducted as part of the bachelor thesis, based on the concept of time structuring. The author is looking for an answer to the question: What is the relation between young people’s ability to build intimate relationships, in the meaning of transactional analysis, and their level of sexual awareness? The research was conducted on a sample of 312 people aged 18-22 using questionnaire techniques. The main conclusion from the research indicates the existence of a correlation between the respondents' gender and building intimate relationships. However, no relationship was detected between the level of sexual awareness and building intimate relationships by adolescents.
