Authors: Bing Zhao , Ismail Md Jais , Sile Huang , Wong Wei Lun
Published: March 2024

Guangxi's intangible cultural heritage music culture has a long history, diverse types, and profound connotations. As a precious and primitive ethnic music cultural heritage, Guangxi's intangible cultural heritage can improve the quality of contemporary vocal teaching in professional skills such as music singing, instrument performance, enhance the training quality of national vocal music talents in China, and promote the development of folk music culture in China. However, as the rapid development of modern society, these valuable musical traditions are facing gradual marginalization and oblivion. Based on this phenomenon, this study interviewed four professors and four students in the field of music education, as well as conducted a detailed survey questionnaire on 347 students from four universities in Guangxi (Guangxi Arts University, Guangxi Normal University for Nationalities, Yulin Normal University, and Guangxi University of Foreign Language). The results show that students and educators maintain a strong interest in and a high level of respect for non-heritage music, despite the challenges of the current education system and resource allocation. Students and educators are eager to contribute to the preservation and transmission of this valuable cultural heritage to enhance the aesthetic and artistic sensibilities of university students and improve their musical aesthetic ability. Therefore, through investigation and analysis of the current situation and existing problems of music education in various universities, combined with the important significance of improving the music aesthetic ability of college students, targeted solutions are proposed to effectively improve the music aesthetic ability of music majors in universities.

Published: March 2024

Donation-based crowdfunding (DBC) has grown in Indonesia, and to ensure sustainability and fairness in DBC services, there is a need for adequate regulation. One approach that can be taken to achieve this is through regulatory evolution. The transformation of regulation in Indonesia's DBC services reflects the ability to adapt to challenges that arise over time. This article discusses the regulatory developments that have been made in response to the dynamics and complexity of DBC services, as well as efforts to improve legal certainty in them. The centre of attention in this regulatory evolution is to respond to the various challenges faced by organizers and participants in the DBC ecosystem. With increased legal certainty, it is hoped that a strong foundation can be built for the growth of crowdfunding services in Indonesia for the welfare of society.

Authors: Talukdar Kuwali , Sarma Shikhar Kumar , Naznin Farha , Deka Ratul
Published: March 2024

Religious texts are known to be with specific patterns of writing, and also involve specific vocabularies. These are also known to follow specific style of writing. Thereby these texts are enriched with typical semantic and syntactic characteristics, demanding special attention for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. This research paper focuses on the application of Deep Learning (DL) techniques for Parts of Speech (PoS) tagging focusing on Assamese language religious texts. We have created a specialized dataset comprising approximately 11,000 sentences extracted from various sources including web crawling and filtering religious texts from existing corpora. The dataset was manually validated by linguists to ensure accuracy, errors, and corrections required. A performance matrix was constructed to analyze the performance of the initial tagging using a pre-existing DL-based model trained for Assamese Universal Parts of Speech (UPoS) tagger. Following this, we utilized a subset of the dataset for manual evaluation, and the validated dataset is then considered as a gold standard training dataset for training other DL models using GRU, RNN and Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) architectures. Training accuracies were recorded and presented, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Accuracies, Precision, and Recall were recorded for all the three Models. F1 scores also have been calculated. Comparison of training and testing accuracies are depicted with performance graphs.

Published: March 2024

Objectives: The aim of this research was to determine the effect of two months of intermittent aerobic exercise on cortisol and testosterone hormones. Methods: Twenty healthy sedentary volunteer male subjects (age: 22.2 ± 3.2; height: 174.5 ± 4.6 cm) participated in this research. They were randomly assigned into two groups of experimental and control conditions. Fasting blood sample was drawn prior to the start of the exercise program from both groups. The experimental group participated in 8 consecutive weeks of intermittent aerobic exercise running 4 distances of 200 meter with rest interval between each run. The running distance increased 400 meter weekly. At the end of the program, fasting blood samples was obtained to measure the testosterone and cortisol hormone. Results: The results of analysis indicated that no significant changes occurred in the mean value of serum testosterone of both groups in the experimental and control group (P > 0.05). However, the exercise condition caused a significant change in the mean value of serum cortisol in the exercising group (P = 0.0001). Conclusions: The significant change in cortisol was associated with significant weight loss in the exercise group suggesting that this condition caused inflammation in addition to the fat catabolism in the exercised group.

Published: March 2024

Background: Sporting activity promotes healthy living, increases health benefits, mitigates some chronic disease conditions and prevents premature death. Cardiovascular disease risks during sports activities and exercises are low but in some instances of undiagnosed pathological cardiac conditions, players could be at the risk of tragic cardiovascular events. Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of high blood pressure, abnormal fasting blood sugar and lipid profiles, as probable cardiovascular disease risk factors among male soccer players. Methods: A cross-sectional study was used and 86 football players of the premier, 1st and 2nd divisions’ teams were used for the study. The blood pressure and biochemical markers such as fasting blood glucose and lipid profiles of the players were assessed. Results: Out of the 86 players, 8 (9.3%) were goalkeepers, 29 (33.7%) were defenders, 34 (39.5%) were midfielders, while 15 (17.4%) were strikers. The prevalence of hypertension and diabetes among the study population were 9.3% each. The most prevalent abnormality was reduced high density lipoprotein (38.4%), followed by hypercholesterolemia (27.9%) and (7.0%) high low density lipoprotein respectively. Conclusions: The incidence of high blood pressure, high blood glucose, reduced high density lipoprotein and hypercholesterolemia observed in the study indicate that the players are at increased risks of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of body percussion exercises on the executive and balance performance of children with intellectual disabilities and their healthy counterparts. Methods and Materials: The statistical population included healthy children and those with intellectual disabilities from Ramhormoz city, from which 20 healthy children (10 experimental, 10 control) and 20 children with intellectual disabilities (10 experimental, 10 control) aged 9 to 11 years were selected to participate in this research through pre-test and post-test evaluations using the Continuous Performance Test (sustained attention), Stroop Color and Word Test (response inhibition), Stork Stand (static balance), and Heel-Toe Walking (dynamic balance). The experimental groups (both healthy and with disabilities) received the selected body percussion intervention program in 45-minute group sessions twice a week for 8 weeks; however, the control groups (both healthy and with disabilities) engaged in usual school activities. Data analysis was performed using covariance analysis at the significance level of p ≤ 0.05. Results: The results showed that the effect of body percussion exercises on sustained attention (p = 0.001), response inhibition (p = 0.001), and static and dynamic balance (p = 0.001) was significant, and participants in the experimental groups performed better than those in the control groups (p = 0.001). Conclusions: Based on the findings, it seems that body percussion exercises are a beneficial intervention for improving motor and cognitive skills in both healthy children and those with intellectual disabilities; therefore, it is recommended that these exercises be used in physical education programs in schools and rehabilitation centers.
Analysis of the Advancement of Public-Private Partnership in Ukraine

Published: March 2024

Introduction. The significant amount of destruction caused by the war in Ukraine necessitates the involvement of all forms of financial and organizational support for the country's reconstruction process. A tried-and-tested method of attracting resources to this process is a public-private partnership. The intensification of public-private partnerships aims to meet the basic needs of the population during martial law before creating the necessary conditions for economic recovery after the war. Since the war led to the stagnation of the specified process, the obstacles and peculiarities of public-private partnerships in this period need to be researched.
Aim and tasks. The purpose of this study is to analyse the impact of martial law conditions on the activation of public-private partnerships to reveal its role in the recovery of the country's economy based on the analysis of available data to identify trends and significant results that can shed light on the activation of the public-private partnership process. This determines the following tasks: to investigate obstacles to the activation of public-private partnership from 2021 to this time, and to establish peculiarities, urgent directions, and prerequisites for implementing projects, measures, methods, and forms of public-private partnership in the specified period.
Results. The analysis showed that, in recent years, the contractual discipline of partnership projects has significantly deteriorated, and the range of directions for their implementation has narrowed and does not correspond to the priorities specified in the legislation. Thus, in 2021, only 16% of agreements were realized, 16.6% were terminated, and 61.6% still needed to be implemented. Directions for their implementation are not urgent in wartime conditions. Business activity is restrained by the risks of war, incomplete compliance of the legal framework with the conditions of war, and the intensification of illegal actions against investment objects. In total, 363 court cases related to raiding were initiated in 2023, reflecting a two-fold increase compared to 2022. The identified peculiarities, directions, and prerequisites for the implementation of public-private partnerships intensify the implementation process.
Conclusions. Measures to reduce risks and change the approaches to their distribution in partnership agreements have been proposed. It is proposed to introduce an institute of small investors, which will strengthen public control of public-private partnership projects and ensure the attraction of additional private investments in the process of rebuilding the country. This is substantiated by the fact that 61% of the surveyed citizens are ready to participate financially in the reconstruction of the country's infrastructure and 33% are ready to participate if they have a financial opportunity.
Comparing diet, seed size and richness in fruit ingested by red howler monkeys (Alouatta juara) in two habitat types in Central Amazonia

Published: March 2024

Primates within the Alouatta genus (howler monkeys) inhabit a wide range of environments due to their flexible folivorous-frugivorous diet. However, the feeding ecology of Alouatta species that inhabit continuous and difficult-to-access forest environments, such as the Amazon, is poorly known. In this study, we compared diet composition, seed size, and richness of fruits ingested by Juruá red howler monkeys (Alouatta juara) in white-water flooded forest and upland for- est. Our analysis was based on 47 stomachs donated by subsistence hunters of central Amazonia in Brazil. We found no difference in the proportion of structural parts, reproductive parts, and animal matter (arthropods) ingested between these environments. However, we found a positive relationship between the richness of ingested seeds and the water level for the white-water flooded forest. This correlation was not observed for upland forest, where other environmental factors such as precipitation may influence tree phenology. The stomach analysis revealed a high diversity of seeds and a substantial percentage of whole seeds (73%) in the red-howler monkeys’ stomachs. This suggests that they have the potential to be effective seed dispersers for at least 40 taxa in the white-water flooded forest and 14 in the upland forest. The population decline or extinction of this species could have an impact on seed dispersal services, particularly for plant species with seeds larger than 20 mm of diameter, as the number of dispersing agents tends to be limited. Further studies are needed to investigate the environmental dynamics involved in the feeding ecology of red howler monkeys. These studies would help to understand the ecological impacts of local subsistence hunting and wild meat trading on seed dispersal, as well as the economic implications for human populations.

Abandoned at Old Age: Aging in Contemporary Nepali Short Fiction
Authors: Phuyal Komal Prasad
Published: March 2024

Contemporary Nepali short fiction has depicted the plight of the people left at home in their old age when the children seek a better life and settlement in the first world. Such people suffer in silence and perpetually wait for their children to return and embrace them. As the national boundaries have not been able to keep people within them, the family has faced the most critical challenges of our time. It has failed to serve the usual expectations as a social institution. The root cause of such abandonment lies in the crises of family. Mandira Madhushree’s “Ambako Bot” [The Guava Tree] (2017), Neelam Karki’s “Parkhai” [The Wait] (2019), and Bina Theeng’s “Aayam” [A Dimension] (2020) picture the people abandoned at their old age: they lead a solitary life in the most critical phase of their life. This paper reads the stories in the contemporary contexts of Nepal in particular and South Asia in general as the developing world has similar kinds of problems. Since the study is built on the assumption that the study of creative texts helps understand the course of action that society has prepared for itself, this paper attempts to examine the content of the elderly self as presented in the selected Nepali short fiction.

Leadership In Crisis Management: A Study Based On Total Quality Management Practices
Authors: Ashker Mohamed , Nifroosha Mohamed
Published: March 2024

In today’s fast-paced business climate, crisis is a more complicated challenges for the leaders. Unpredictable technological developments, economic shifts, human hardships, and political consequences all combine to create uncertainty in today’s business climate. Economic disruptions that culminate in crises are one way in which this instability presents itself beyond the authority of the government. Not only are those who have fled the country affected by the crisis, but so are those who are worried about losing their jobs in any of the other nations across the world. Clearly, businesses are fascinated by the current state of affairs. However, the environment is also a factor in crisis situations. If a crisis isn’t contained or dealt with properly, it will snowball and set off a cascade of crises. An authoritarian leadership style has given way to a more collaborative and participatory one as the country has been rocked by political and economic turbulence. The world of business is becoming more complicated and nuanced. As a result of these enhancements, traditional crisis managers have evolved into a leader model that encourages scenario analysis and teamwork to develop the best possible solution. In order to better understand how to lead in times of crisis, we need to look at leadership from both a leadership and a crisis perspective. Crisis management is often regarded as a technique for evaluating the effects of adverse conditions, regardless of their origin, in an optimum and timely manner. There will be a comparison of the notions of leader and executive in the first section of this article, which will be accompanied with considerable literature on leadership ideas from total quality management principles. Leadership in crisis management will be discussed further in the second half of the paper, and the relevance and contribution to literature of crisis leadership will be examined in the last section.

Published: March 2024

Existe abundante literatura que vincula las cooperativas como organizaciones cuya praxis contribuye a alcanzar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de Naciones Unidas. La base argumental se centra en los principios en lo que se enmarca el cooperativismo y la finalidad de estas organizaciones empresariales. El presente artículo busca, de forma muy introductoria y exploratoria, contrastar hasta qué punto las cooperativas tienen interiorizada la voluntad de contribuir en el desarrollo sostenible y en qué medida lo aplican en la práctica. A tal efecto se ha realizado una encuesta a la que han respondido 75 de las 236 cooperativas industriales activas en Cataluña, y se ha realizado un análisis comparado con las empresas de base capitalista. Los resultados, de carácter indicativo dada la magnitud de la muestra, reflejan que existe un claro alineamiento conceptual pero que aún hay un amplio camino por recorrer en la praxis.

Published: March 2024

The existing literature presents limited evidence of research on knowledge management in organizations within the  organizations that are part of the social and solidarity economy. Thus, this study aims to examine the impact of knowledge transfer on absorptive capacity and organizational learning and, consequently, on the social performance of organizations within the social and solidarity economy of Colombia.This study utilizes structural equation modeling to analyze the hypothesized relationships, employing a custom survey of managers and associates based on a literature review conducted among 347 members.The findings indicate that the influence of knowledge transfer on organizational performance in the social sphere is insignificant. This result underscores the need for organizations to develop absorption capacities and adequate organizational learning strategies, which are crucial for survival and integral growth, thus strengthening the doctrine that nourishes this type of companies.This paper contributes to theory and practice in social and solidarity economy organizations by expanding current knowledge on social performance, focusing on knowledge transfer, absorptive capacity and organizational learning. Furthermore, it adds to the body of knowledge by highlighting regional specificities that could hinder the competitiveness of companies and by presenting a quantitative methodology little used for these topics, which allows inferences about the cluster of companies in a country.

The image processing philosophy is mainly determined by the complexity of the image and provides the necessary information to be derived from the image. In the textile industry, the image processing technique focuses on the determination of the geometric properties of the fibers such as cross-sectional shape, diameter, length, fineness, and curl while the studies on the yarn characteristics mostly focus on the determination of yarn hairiness, yarn unevenness and yarn defects (thick place, thin place and neps). In this study, previous studies about image processing approaches that are applied for fiber characteristics were investigated. A case study was conducted to automatically determine the visible foreign matter in the waste cotton bundle that can be used for recycled cotton yarn production. It was revealed that the image processing methods can be successfully applied for foreign fiber and matter detection in cotton bundle. As a result, it is emphasized that the waste cotton properties can be specified with a sensitive and accurate approach via image processing technique, objective and numerical determination can be obtained instead of visual evaluation based on experience.

The research is devoted to the study of the specifics of oculomotor activity of patients with schizophrenia when solving the cognitive task of searching for common (similar) signs in 4 stimulus images and, on this basis, the exclusion of 1 superfluous object on the cards of the "Exclusion of the 4th superfluous" technique. Oculomotor activity is a reliable biomarker of both conscious and unconscious cognitive processes, and eye movement patterns serve as a quantitative (objective) characteristic of the process of perception, attention and thinking in real time. When solving cognitive tasks, the subject of study was the mental processes of patients with schizophrenia: comparison, classification, generalization, abstraction, which were revealed in the responses of patients in the "Exclusion of the fourth superfluous" technique. The respondents' answers were analyzed depending on the level of generalization: by categorical and functional criteria, by specific situational criteria, and latent criteria. To assess the characteristics of oculomotor activity, the AI tracker method was used using a hardware and software complex for contactless registration of human oculomotor activity. To assess the characteristics of mental activity, the “Exclusion of the fourth superfluous" technique was used. Patients with schizophrenia demonstrate difficulties in the recognition process, there is an emphasis on individual parts of the image, as well as: chaotic movements of the gaze between objects and their details. This indicates the need for a longer time period for image recognition, as well as difficulties in analyzing and identifying common essential features of objects (images), as a result of which schizophrenia patients carry out mental generalization operations based on a variety of, more often insignificant and latent signs, which is reflected in making the "wrong" decision. The study of eye movement during the solution of such mental tasks has shown that the characteristics of the gaze during the search for common features reflect the mental acts of comparison and generalization of essential features and can provide objective information about the difficulties and violations of the produced. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the features of oculomotor activity in patients with schizophrenia are closely related to disorders of cognitive processing of visual information at early levels of the thought process. Eye movements in solving cognitive tasks accompany the mental process of searching and selecting significant features from the general background of diverse visual information and reflect the difficulties of its selection.

The process of droplet impacting on a high-temperature wall is widely existent in daily life and industrial applications. Most of scholars mainly have focused on experimental and macroscopic research on this phenomenon. In this work, molecular dynamics simulation is conducted to investigate the evolution of droplet and the influence of surface temperature on its evolution, in order to explore the heat transfer mechanism of nanodroplet impacting on high-temperature surface. Droplet containing 10741 argon atoms impacts on the copper plates at temperatures of 85, 150, 200, 250 and 300 K, respectively. The number of droplet evaporation atoms is statistically obtained, the droplet barycenter displacement is analyzed, and the density distribution and temperature distribution inside the droplet are acquired. It is shown that the droplet exhibits different characteristics on the wall at different temperatures. The droplet finally stabilizes on the wall at 85 K as shown in Fig. (a), but when the temperature of the wall rises to 150 K, the droplet evaporates slowly and finally completely as shown in Fig. (b), and for the wall temperatures 200, 250 and 300 K, the Leidenfrost phenomenon is found: the droplet is suspended above the wall as displayed in Figs. (c)–(e). Fig. (f) shows the number of evaporated atoms at different wall temperatures. It also can be seen that the Leidenfrost phenomenon occurs at wall temperatures 200, 250 and 300 K, because for the three conditions there are rise steps and then the numbers of evaporated atoms almost keep constant. For the temperature conditions under which the Leidenfrost phenomenon can occur, the higher the wall temperature, the faster the droplet evaporates, the earlier the detachment occurs from the wall, the greater the droplet detaching velocity, and the larger the final suspending droplet volume. The analyses of the density distribution and temperature distribution of the droplet at the moment when it detaches from the wall show that the evaporation process is faster and a thicker vapor layer is generated due to the higher heat flux of the high-temperature wall, which will hinder the heat exchange, so that the average temperature of the droplet is lower and the average density is smaller.

Suppressive function of regulatory T cells (Treg) is dependent on signaling of their antigen receptors triggered by cognate self, dietary or microbial antigens in the form of peptide-MHC class II complexes. However, it remains largely unknown whether distinct or shared repertoires of Treg TCRs are mobilized in response to different challenges in the same tissue or the same challenge in different tissues. Here we used a fixed TCRβ chain FoxP3-GFP mouse model to analyze conventional (eCD4) and regulatory (eTreg) effector TCRα repertoires in response to six distinct antigenic challenges to the lung and skin. This model showed highly “digital” repertoire behavior, allowing for easy-to-track challenge-specific TCRα CDR3 clusters. For both studied subsets, we observed challenge-specific clonal expansion yielding homologous TCRα clusters within and across animals and exposure sites, which were also reflected in the draining lymph nodes but not systemically. Some clusters were shared across cancer challenges, suggesting response to common tumor-associated antigens. For most challenges, eCD4 and eTreg clonal response did not overlap, indicating the distinct origin of the two cell subsets. At the same time, we observed such overlap at the sites of certain tumor challenges. The overlaps included dominant responding TCRα motif and characteristic iNKT TCRα, suggesting the tumor-induced eCD4-eTreg plasticity. Additionally, our TCRα repertoire analysis demonstrated that distinct antigenic specificities are characteristic for eTreg cells residing in particular lymphatic tissues, regardless of the challenge, revealing the homing-specific, antigen-specific resident Treg populations. Altogether, our study highlights both challenge-specific and tissue-specific responses of Treg cells associated with distinct clonal expansions.
