Authors: Zisha Shishita Jahan , Mumtaz Tabassum , Alam A.K.M Rashidul
Published: March 2024

Whey- a byproduct of the manufacture of cheese has several commercial uses. The present study was undertaken to explore the microbial load of the whey and the possible existence of biopolymer (PHB) producing microorganisms in this byproduct. Whey samples collected from different vendors in the locality of Mirpur, Dhaka were brought into laboratory and the microbial load was determined by serial dilution technique using nutrient agar and YEPD medium. From 30 colonies, 32 strains were preliminarily isolated. Out of 32 isolates, fifteen exhibited pink fluorescence on mineral medium, indicating the presence of PHB production inside cells. Among these, seven strains were identified as members of the genera Candida tropicalis; based on molecular characterization. The remaining 8 isolates were bacteria. It is interesting to note that, yeast isolates were obtained from locally vendored samples whereas bacterial strains were predominant in commercial samples. This work can be considered as the first step in the development of an ecofriendly bio-refinery pathway for cheese industry.

Authors: Khayoun Saad Abdul Karim
Published: March 2024

The production of a theatrical show necessitates the utilization of various materials, artistic elements, and techniques, in addition to the integration of technical and digital advancements. From this perspective, the director, who is responsible for the show's production, endeavors to leverage hologram technology to enhance and advance the show. This is achieved by incorporating fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, enhancing the aesthetic appeal, and captivating the audience with visually stunning elements. To do so, the current study aims to research the potential applications and opportunities for integrating holograms into modern production. Moreover, this study also aims to research three-dimensional holographic images as a modern theatrical technique in contemporary theatre. Additionally, this study explored the potential capabilities of holograms in modern theatrical performances, especially centralizing the theatrical production in the UK (Royal Shakespeare Theater-Stratford) for the preceding year of 2017. For this purpose, the study used the analytical research method and tools to analyze the show “The Strom” directed by Gregory Duran in 2017. A comprehensive set of results was obtained to conclude the study along with particular attention given to holography in the context of theatrical performance.
Choosing to Stay: A New Perspective on Immobility Amidst Adversity
Authors: Olumba Ezenwa E.
Published: March 2024

Current migration studies inadequately explore the staying behaviour and experiences of those in conflict or disaster-stricken regions, especially those who choose voluntary immobility. This paper introduces the ‘Resilience-Accessibility Framework’, a novel framework developed by integrating existing frameworks with insights from a qualitative study in a conflict-affected region. The study involved focus group discussions with 54 participants living in communities exposed to violent conflicts in the Middle Belt of Nigeria. The framework serves as an analytical tool for exploring the staying behaviour of individuals or community members who stay put amidst adversities. Additionally, it broadens the scope of (im)mobility categories to include a broader range of migratory experiences. By introducing this framework for studying immobility, this paper enriches academic discourse by offering analytical tools for exploring immobility in adversity. Comprehending people’s (im)mobility amidst adversity requires assessing their agency and (in)actions, resilience, accessibility to resources, and the structural conditions prevailing in their environment.

Published: March 2024

An environmentally benign method for the synthesis of 1, 2-disubstituted benzimidazoles by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes and o-phenylenediamines (OPD) in the presence of 1-methylimidazolium tetraflouroborate ([Hmim] BF4) at ambient temperature under green conditions is described. A broad range of structurally diverse benzaldehydes were applied successfully, and corresponding products were obtained in good to excellent yields in very short times. All products were identified by the melting points, 1H and 13C NMR techniques. Furthermore, with the help of computational chemistry and drug design methods, the anti-ovarian cancer properties of these compounds were studied and investigated. All the synthesized compounds bind to an agonist at the active site of the 6LAD protein, which leads to the inactivation of this protein and produces beneficial effects during ovarian cancer treatment. In this study, it was found that these compounds have the potential to become an oral anti-cancer drug.

Published: March 2024

An efficient and environmentally friendly method for the one-pot synthesis of ortho-aminocarbonitrile tetrahydronaphthalenes has been developed in the presence of triethylamine (Et3N) as a homogeneous catalyst. The multicomponent reactions of benzaldehydes, cyclohexanone and malononitrile were carried out under mild conditions to obtain some ortho-aminocarbonitrile tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives. A broad range of structurally diverse benzaldehydes were applied successfully, and corresponding products (4A-L) were obtained in good to excellent yields (87-98%) in very short times (10-25 minutes). The present approach provides several advantages including simple workup, high yields, very mild reaction conditions, short reaction times, little catalyst loading and not requiring specialized equipment. Furthermore, with the help of computational chemistry and drug design methods, the anti-cancer properties of these compounds were studied and investigated. All the synthesized compounds bind to an agonist at the active site of the 3A8P protein, which leads to the inactivation of this protein and produces beneficial effects during cancer treatment. In synthesized compounds, the ligands establish hydrogen bonds with leucine A:728 residues through nitrogen, which has a very special and vital role in biological sciences and pharmaceutical connections. In this study, it was found that these compounds have the potential to become an oral anti-cancer drug.

Authors: Mafumbu Luyanda
Published: March 2024

Coastal regions and populations worldwide experience the challenge of coastal access constraints. Owing to South Africa’s socio-economic background of apartheid, equitable access to coastal resources remains a challenge. Integrated coastal management has been the subject of numerous research in South Africa, nevertheless, the issues surrounding coastal access and global best practices received little attention. This study was conducted due to insufficient documentation of global practices for addressing coastal access challenges relevant to South Africa. The objective of this paper was to contextualize the challenges of coastal access in South Africa and assess the best practices in selected countries to address them. This study was contextualized in terms of the established literature and previous studies. In examining the key public coastal access challenges, a thematic literature review was used to systematically identify themes and gaps. The best practices for public coastal access are examined in this research using global examples. The following challenges were identified, that is, influence by private properties, apartheid spatial legacy, influence of new developments, lack of institutional capacity, policy gaps and funding constraints. The study concludes that lessons learnt from different case studies should be integrated into policy framework of South African integrated coastal management to improve public coastal access.

Published: March 2024

This study aims to examine the psychological resilience levels of university students who use and do not use substances. In this context, whether substance-use and psychological resilience differ according to demographic characteristics has been examined. The data were obtained using Substance Use Scale and Resilience Scale-III-R from 546 university students studying in 10 faculties in the Akdeniz University Central Campus in the 2014-2015 academic year. Data were analyzed performing Mann-Whitney U and Two-Way ANOVA tests. Findings have shown that there is no significant difference between substance user and non-user students in terms of resilience scores. It has been determined that resilience scores of students do not differ according to gender and working status. The resilience of students who use substances did not show a significant difference in terms of the reason for using the substance for the first time and the age of first substance use. On the other hand, a significant difference has been found between the resiliency of substance user students related to the substance-use places. A significant difference has also been found on the resiliency of substance-user students related to the reasons to keep on substance-use.

The article presents the results of the analysis of the theoretical, organizational and practical foundations of supporting innovative enterprises and entrepreneurship in the conditions of business relocation under wartime conditions. The organizational and logistical measures of government support for relocated business, the conditions for its further adaptation, including the enterprise relocation program, are considered, and the shortcomings that complicate its implementation are indicated. It was determined that among the main problems of the state program of relocation are the insufficient information base and awareness of the existing program, the lack of established communication between the participants of the process. Potential solutions have been analyzed and determined, which can contribute to revitalizing the relocation of businesses and making the process more successful. The need for state support and additional financing was emphasized, which will help bring the enterprise relocation program to a new level, which, in turn, will help enterprises continue their activities and positively influence the development of the state economy. The assessment of the main indicators of innovative activity in Ukraine was carried out. Statistics of enterprises that need relocation and statistics of the number of applications regarding requests for relocation of enterprises in 2022 are provided. Popular business relocation routes in Ukraine have been identified and evaluated. The complexities of relocation are analyzed and potential solutions are identified that will help increase the effectiveness of the state relocation program. Two groups of entrepreneurs are identified and described: those who chose relocation as a way to save their business and did not think about it until the full-scale war; and those who considered such an option and saw in it an opportunity for growth. It was established that in Ukraine there are almost no relocating enterprises working in the innovative field, which has been very neglected in recent years, as it is absolutely not stimulated by long-term sectoral development programs or fiscal incentives.

The research examines aspects that study in detail the concept of a local menu, its advantages, challenges and opportunities for implementation, as well as practical examples and recommendations for restaurateurs. Concepts such as “local cuisine”, “local menu” and the possibility of its implementation in domestic restaurants are considered. Outstanding local dishes of different countries of the world and regions of Ukraine were studied. The concept of food “from the farm to the table” is considered and its characteristics are provided. It has been established that price is one of the key factors affecting competitiveness. It has been proven that developing a menu based on local and farm products is a real and promising strategy based on small conceptual establishments that will be able to more easily adapt to all the nuances of localization. Practical recommendations are provided that can help to correctly and effectively implement the “local menu” strategy, and the positive impact of the implementation of this strategy is given, which is reflected not only in the restaurant industry, but also reflects the importance of local products, promotes culinary diversity and supports the local community and develops the economy. The restaurant industry is constantly developing and changing, and modern trends affect its dynamics and direction. One of the most relevant and significant trends of recent years is the popularization of local menus in restaurants. Consumers are increasingly interested in the origin and quality of the products they consume. The local menu meets this need as it offers dishes made with local, fresh and quality ingredients. Restaurants that offer a local menu can have a competitive advantage because they meet consumer demand and differentiate themselves in the market. This can lead to an increase in the popularity of the establishment, an increase in the number of customers and an increase in profits. The obtained results of this study can have important practical significance for restaurateurs and restaurant industry specialists to improve business strategies, develop new menus and attract more customers, meet modern consumer needs for quality and authentic food products.

Published: March 2024

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the modern phenomenon of hospitality in various aspects at different levels. Two semantic interpretations of hospitality, conventionally interpreted as “hospitality-trait” and “hospitality-sphere”, are proposed and substantiated. “Hospitality-trait” is an important characteristic of any entity that, on a commercial or other basis, receives and serves guests for certain reasons. “Hospitality-sphere” is a derivative of “hospitality-traits” and is a product of its institutionalization, namely, a field of activity whose main profile task is to provide quality services to guests. An author’s model of the hospitality sector of society was built, consisting of four levels – the “core”, which includes a complex of hotel-restaurant and tourist business enterprises, and its three “superstructure circles”, a system of enterprises and subjects of each of the following among which gradually reduces the level specialization in hospitality services, but in one way or another applies the features of hospitality in its activities. The presented model of the field of hospitality can serve as an additional basis for the adoption of legislative and regulatory acts and for the adoption of managerial decisions regarding the regulation of the manifestation of hospitality traits in the work of any enterprises and subjects of economic activity, mainly in the field of hotel, restaurant and tourism business. Current directions of research in the field of hospitality are outlined, among which the most important are the problems of measuring the degree of hospitality of its various subjects, as well as improving the system of training specialized personnel. Important directions are also the definition and analysis of the features of hospitality at different levels of spatial and organizational scale and territorial coverage (hospitality of the state, people, region, city, locality, enterprise, institution, industry, social stratum, individual family, individual person, etc.), study of spatial aspects of hospitality, justification of distinctions between “stationary” and “mobile” hospitality, especially during tourist trips, hospitality research at different stages of hospitality product consumption, etc. Argued proposals for improving the quality of education for the “core” of the hospitality sector, primarily strengthening the psychological training of future specialists, using psychological trainings, quests, situational exercises (case studies), etc., are provided. Hospitality in the process of specialized education in the training of specialists in the field of service should pass through all educational components, both during theoretical training and during training of practical skills.

Published: March 2024

Aim of the study: This study was conducted to evaluate the antibacterial effect of Rhamnus prinoides  mouthwash against Streptococcus mutans in a group of  orthodontic patients with gingivitis, and to compare the gingival index before and 3 weeks after using Rhamnus Prinoides mouthwash and placebo 2 times daily for study and control group respectively.

Materials and methods: Rhamnus Prinoides mouthwash was extracted from plant leaves, filtered, then it was mixed with ethanol after being dried. The anti-bacterial effect was evaluated by measuring the streptococcus mutans count before and after 3 weeks of using Rhamnus Prinoides mouthwash and placebo in study and control group respectively.

Results: Rhamnus Prinoides mouthwash demonstrated an anti-bacterial effect by significantly reducing the mean streptococcus mutans count from 14.23*10-5±7.67 (CFU/ml) to 0.45*10-5±0.28 (CFU/ml) in study group. While in control group mean streptococcus mutans count significantly increased from 13.79*10-5±11.11 (CFU/ml)  to 30.22*10-5±33.57 (CFU/ml). The mean gingival index found to change significantly from the moderate type at the base line (gingival index = 1.53± 0.26) to mild type on the third week (gingival index= 0.97±0.007 ) in study group, while in control group it remained with moderate type from the base line visit (gingival index= 1.44±0.16)  to the third week (gingival index= 1.46±0.16).

Conclusion: Rhamnus Prinoides mouthwash exhibited a significant anti-bacterial activity by reducing the streptococcus mutans count, and thus it can be considered as a  promising oral health care product in the future.
Feeling bad about feeling good? how avengers and observers evaluate the hedonic pleasure of taking revenge
Authors: Dyduch-Hazar Karolina , Gollwitzer Mario
Published: March 2024

Four pre-registered experiments (N total = 2,039) investigated how people morally evaluate avengers who experience hedonic pleasure (vs. displeasure) after taking revenge and whether avengers themselves pick up on these moral evaluations by third parties. Victims who took revenge were judged as more immoral than victims who did not take revenge, especially when they felt pleasure from doing so (Study 1). Conversely, participants anticipated that others would perceive them as more competent (but not less moral) when imagining them showing visible signs of pleasure (vs. displeasure) about taking revenge (Study 2). Furthermore, showing signs of pleasure from taking revenge was attributed to greater competence than showing signs of displeasure from taking revenge (Study 3). On the other hand, feeling good about revenge was attributed to lower morality than feeling bad about taking revenge (Study 4).
An empirical study on differences between self-assessed and measured real risk in online behaviour
Authors: Šolić Krešimir , Idlbek Robert , Velki Tena
Published: March 2024

As the leading cause of security breaches is human susceptibility to hackers' deception, the riskiness of an individual's online behaviour and low awareness regarding privacy protection significantly influence the overall security of an information system. Thus, this study aimed to compare self-assessed and measured real risk in online behaviour among online users. The additional aim was to modify the questionnaire by replacing the existing trick question about password quality with the new questions on accepting the terms and conditions. An international online Behavioral Cognitive Internet Security Questionnaire (BCISQ), validated in previous studies, was used for data collection. The examinees involved in this study were 278 students from different faculties. The results showed a relatively high level of risk in online behaviour, as 22.7% of examinees revealed their passwords. In comparison, only 10.8% read the consent statement. Students who behave in a riskier manner self-assess themselves as being significantly safer in online behaviour, which is contradictory. They also performed worse in all other examined variables. The new version of the simulation subscale, with improved internal consistency and reliability (Cronbach's Alfa=0.810), consists of only three items, which are questions used in the previous version, without adding any of the two tested trick questions. Generally, this study concludes that, on average, information security awareness is still low among online users and that even the ones realistically acting riskier believe they are acting more safely.
El huaqueo y sus pertenencias: la acumulación originaria y los fantasmas de la conquista de las Indias, según Bartolomé de Las Casas y José de Acosta
Authors: Legnani Nicole
Published: March 2024

En este artículo planteo que en De Thesauris (1563) Bartolomé de Las Casas rastrea el saqueo de metales y piedras preciosas de entierros indígenas a lo largo del continente americano, mostrando cómo una conquista en su calidad de empresa financió la siguiente. De este modo, Las Casas relata la historia de la Conquista en De Thesauris como una acumulación de endeudamiento material y moral contraída por los conquistadores y, por ende, la Corona y la Iglesia. Propongo que al reiterar la imposibilidad de remedar los daños sufridos en su presente y pasado inmediatos en De Thesauris, Las Casas abordó la coherencia de los pueblos originarios de América, especialmente de Perú, como sujetos políticos reales dentro y fuera de los flujos de capital que sustentaron la expansión del imperio por medio de sociedades en comandita que se beneficiaron de los saqueos de entierros nativos (huaqueo). Las implicaciones del tratado lascasiano se hacen patentes mediante su aparición fantasmagórica en De procuranda indorum salute apud barbaros (1589) de José de Acosta. Me detengo en una sección donde, por medio de sus referencias al Libro de Josué, el autor jesuita defiende el poder del soberano de despojar y distribuir terrenos para la sepultura de forasteros y, por lo tanto, de constituir un nuevo arraigo a lugares conquistados por medio del entierro. Sostengo que esta preocupación de Acosta por los entierros revela su mayor ansiedad respecto del tratado de Las Casas, el cual logró demostrar el engarzamiento de la soberanía, el dominio y la posesión en las Indias en función del despojo de los muertos indígenas y sus pertenencias.

The use of sensationalism as a medium to boost popularity is not a new phenomenon in the entertainment industry, as demonstrated by Mimi Peri, one of the Instagram celebrities on social media. She leverages her gained popularity as a source of livelihood, presenting herself as a flirty woman with masculine features and adding dramatic content based on her imagination as an angel from heaven.
By using Burke's visual rhetoric theory, which is divided into three elements: pathos, logos, and ethos, we can examine the meaning of signs and the purpose of the visuals displayed on Mimi Peri's Instagram account. Additionally, dramatism theory is used as supporting theory to further analyze Mimi Peri's character in greater depth.
Mimi Peri has received both tremendous appreciation and criticism from netizens, but the backlash she receives only increases her popularity. The more people criticize her, the more she is discussed. This indicates that Mimi Peri intentionally portrays herself as a dramatic figure to achieve popularity and become a commodity in social media.
