Association Between Latent Toxoplasmosis and Schizophrenia
Authors: Ismael Shameeran Salman , Naamaan Lolav Muhyadeen , Abdullah Ibrahim Muhammed
Published: March 2024

Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan parasite, is known to establish a lifelong latent infection in humans. This infection, termed latent toxoplasmosis, has been implicated in various neurological and psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by disruptions in thought processes, perceptions, and social behavior. While its exact etiology remains elusive, studies have increasingly explored the potential role of infectious agents in its development and progression. Epidemiological studies have shown an association between toxoplasma infection and an increased risk of schizophrenia development. Moreover, several plausible pathways have been proposed through which Toxoplasmosis may exert its influence on the central nervous system, including alterations in neurotransmitter levels, immune response dysregulation, and neuroinflammation. Understanding the intricate relationship between latent toxoplasmosis and schizophrenia could pave the way for novel therapeutic interventions and preventive strategies for individuals at risk. This review aims to consolidate current knowledge regarding the relationship between latent toxoplasmosis and schizophrenia. It synthesizes findings from epidemiological studies, clinical observations, and experimental research investigating the prevalence of toxoplasmosis in individuals with schizophrenia compared to the general population. Additionally, it examines the potential mechanisms through which T. gondii infection might contribute to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, including neuroimmune responses, neurotransmitter alterations, and neurodevelopmental effects.

Authors: Tadeo Dina B. , Gaffud Dr. Oliva M.
Published: March 2024

Native chickens, inherent to sustainable agriculture, play a crucial role in diverse ecosystems and local economies. Recognizing their significance, this study, conducted at Lagangilang, Abra aimed to evaluate the impact of annatto seed, turmeric, and red-hot pepper as additives on the egg performance of native chickens over four months laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Focusing on laying performance in terms of average monthly egg laid, hen house egg production (HDEP), egg mass, egg weight, and mortality and morbidity rate. The research revealed no significant differences in various egg performance parameters, nevertheless, the T3 annatto seed had the highest mean among the treatments next with the commercial egg booster in terms of laid eggs, while unexpectedly contributing to a reduction in mortality and morbidity rates among native chickens. The study suggests that while these additives may not serve as direct egg promoters, they hold promise for improving specific aspects of native chicken eggs, warranting further investigation into their potential health benefits and optimization for market appeal. In terms of return above the feed, stock, and additive costs, utilizing annatto seed and turmeric as additives is 4-13%. Hence, a comprehensive understanding of these implications is vital for informed decision-making when considering additives and enhancers in native chicken production. Though all egg enhancers are acceptable, the prevailing price of the additives to be used should be considered.
Firm Characteristics and Corporate Governance Mechanisms as Drivers of Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure in Zimbabwe
Authors: Simon Chosani , Mkumbuzi Walter Pikisayi
Published: March 2024

This study extends the literature on the determinants of voluntary disclosure of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in a sample of 61 annual reports from the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange for the year ended 31 December 2020. The purpose of the study is to determine why firms voluntarily disclose CSR and whether corporate governance mechanisms have an impact on firms’ disclosure policy. An unweighted disclosure index consisting of 30 corporate social responsibility attributes was developed; using content analysis to determine the level of corporate social responsibility disclosure. The results show that corporate social responsibility disclosure is low, with the most corporate social responsibility information disclosed being community involvement disclosure (40%), followed by environmental disclosure (30%), products and consumer information disclosure (29%), and human resources disclosure (28%). In addition, using multiple regression analysis and after accounting for size, leverage, profitability and industry, the findings indicate that board independence and board of directors’ qualifications have a significant positive influence on corporate social responsibility disclosure whereas ownership concentration was found to be insignificant. With the exception of profitability, all other firm characteristics, leverage, firm size and industry sector were positive and significant in explaining the variation in corporate social responsibility disclosure. It appears that profitable firms are not motivated to increase corporate social responsibility disclosure. This may be consistent with the shareholder wealth maximization approach which renders corporate social responsibility disclosures as less important. Financial markets in Zimbabwe may not be sufficiently efficient in penalizing firms for incomplete corporate social responsibility disclosure and that regulators may need to mandate such disclosures if information asymmetry is to be reduced and market efficiency enhanced.

Determining the load bearing capacity of piles from field tests is a reliable method that allows for the verification of load carrying capacity according to theoretical calculations, thereby the ultimate load-bearing capacity of the piles can be evaluated, serving as the basis for selecting the design load-bearing capacity that is suitable for the site conditions. Among the various pile load testing methods, static compression testing is a traditional method known for its high reliability and early adoption. However, when piles are constructed at significant depths or large diameter drilled piles have higher load bearing capacities, static compression testing encounters difficulties due to the large experimental load and extends testing times. In contrast, the pile dynamic analysis method (PDA) introduced by the Case Institute of Technology in the United States in the 1960s determines the load bearing capacity of piles based on stress wave propagation theory in elastic bars. It offers several advantages, including shorter testing times and no need for static loading, making it suitable for challenging terrain conditions. Nowadays, this method is widely used and integrated into the design guidelines and testing standards of many countries. In this article, base on the results of axial static compression tests and PDA method on reinforced concrete piles and drilled piles at several real project to compare and evaluate the load bearing values of the piles and assess the reliability of the testing methods.

Published: March 2024

Abstrak

Pada saat transisi pandemi menjadi endemi covid-19, terdapat penurunan jumlah mahasiswa yang terpanggil menjadi pengurus organisasi salah satunya UK Maranatha. UK Maranatha adalah salah satu universitas swasta di Kota Bandung yang memiliki lebih dari 30 organisasi kemahasiswaan, tentunya penurunan tersebut berkaitan dengan kepuasan kerja pengurus organisasi, terlebih ormawa yang ada di UK Maranatha merupakan organisasi nirlaba. Pada kenyataannya persentase mahasiswa aktif yang terpanggil terlibat menjadi pengurus organisasi mahasiswa hanyalah sebesar 7,47% dari total mahasiswa aktif UK Maranatha angkatan 2020-2022 dan tentunya hal ini menjadi sesuatu yang patut dipertanyakan. Berdasarkan penelitian sebelumnya diketahui bahwa kepuasan kerja dipengaruhi paling besar oleh motivasi. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini beranggapan bahwa motivasi yang efektif diharapkan dapat meningkatkan tingkat kepuasan kerja para pengurus organisasi mahasiswa. Penelitian ini tergolong sebagai penelitian kuantitatif, pengambilan data primer dilakukan secara menyebar kuesioner kepada pengurus organisasi kemahasiswaan UK Maranatha dan sebanyak 326 kuesioner dan hanya 320 kuesioner yang dinilai layak untuk diolah lebih lanjut dan hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa motivasi berpengaruh terhadap kepuasan kerja sebesar 78,2%.

Published: March 2024

_

The terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) technology, which has been widely used in recent years, provides a new approach to control the construction quality of hull blocks in shipyards. As the cloud-model registration problem plays the most significant role in the data processing stage of utilizing the TLS devices, this paper concentrates on developing a broadly applicable coarse alignment framework for the point cloud of hull blocks. This framework involves two steps: the recognition of the connection regions of the point clouds and the coarse registration method according to the classification results. To detect the connection regions automatically, a hand-crafted simple model of the connection regions of hull blocks is built and its supporting detection method is proposed, besides, considering the recent overwhelming success of deep learning methods, a deep learning network suitable for large hull block datasets is constructed according to the Point-Net, and convolutional neural networks paradigms. Then, the coarse alignment method based on the detected connection regions is proposed. Experimental results illustrate the good performance of the proposed framework.

Authors: Yaşargün Aytaç , Erken Ayfer
Published: March 2024

Uncontrolled solid waste affects the stress-strain behavior of the sand as well as causes an environmental problem. In this research, the effect of leachate on the dynamic behavior of sand has been studied and the results were compared with clean sand with different saturation degrees. The modified split molds at 50 mm diameter and 100 mm height were used to prepare the leachate-contaminated sand. Both contaminated and clean sand samples were prepared by dry pluviation method. After preparation, the sand samples in the modified mold were put in the leachate wastewater to keep for different cure times. Then they were installed on the dynamic triaxial test system at 0.1 Hz and the same cyclic stress ratio. During the saturation process to prevent the structure of contaminated sands from being disturbed, samples were not passed through CO2 and distilled water. Stress-controlled cyclic tests were conducted at on both clean and contaminated sand consolidated at 100 kPa isotropically. After consolidation phase the measured B values varied between 0.45-0.93. Results show that leachate-contaminated sands are more liquefiable depending on cure time at the same saturation value and saturated clean sand samples and partially saturated leachatecontaminated sand samples show similar liquefaction behavior under the same cyclic ratio.

Authors: Kırmızıtaş Fatma Ceren , Günder Burhan Baran , Köse Ali
Published: March 2024

In the face of increasing energy demands and environmental concerns, the search for sustainable and efficient energy storage technologies has intensified. This review presents a holistic survey of innovative solutions by examining biological approaches. The study proceeds through three thematic sections: Biological Fuel Cells and Battery Systems, Photosynthesis and Solar Energy Storage, and Energy Generation at the Cellular Level. The first section, Biological Fuel Cells and Battery Systems describes the integration of biological processes into energy storage mechanisms. The use of biological systems and their contribution to the development of environmentally friendly and high performance energy storage technologies are discussed. In the 2nd section, Photosynthesis and Solar Energy Storage are very prominent in sustainability and energy efficiency issues in terms of both energy production and energy source food production while reducing carbon dioxide with photosynthesis-based energy storage methods. Energy production at the cellular level is discussed in the last section, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is necessary for the cell to perform processes such as growth, reproduction and response to environmental stimuli, is characterized as the primary fuel. ATP production is carried out by mitochondria in animal cells and chloroplast in plant cells. Energy storage at the cellular level is carried out by molecules such as glycogen and lipids in animal cells and starch in plant cells. Considering all three issues, it has been observed that biological-based energy storage methods have numerous advantages in terms of sustainability and energy efficiency. In application areas where engineering approaches are at the forefront, it is thought that it may be possible to design more sustainable and highly energy efficient energy production systems by gaining new perspectives with biology-based simulation studies.

Indonesia's Geostrategic Position in Global and Regional Politics: Government Preparation
Authors: Solehudin Rd. Heri
Published: March 2024

The People's Republic of China (PRC) and the United States (US) continue to compete for power and influence in various places, particularly in Asia. Southeast Asia is also unifying ASEAN countries under the ASEAN Community Accord. It is vital to recognize the impact of pressure on Indonesia's geostrategic development. Failure to anticipate this can have harmful implications and risk the nation's interests in accomplishing its goals and ideals. However, development strategy research has yet to be adequately reviewed, considered, and integrated within Indonesia's geostrategic setting. This is particularly essential considering the dynamic character of developments within the current strategic environment. Thus, the government must vigorously defend Indonesia's geostrategic position in global and regional politics. These efforts should be a significant input and consideration in national and state issues, ensuring Indonesia's national interests are safeguarded. Therefore, the government can effectively pursue its national goals and aspirations. The preservation and seamless continuance of Indonesia's national ideals can be maintained. A comprehensive literature assessment was undertaken in the past decade utilizing the hazing publish or perish (PoP) application, which involved the utilization of various databases, including "PupMed," "ABIInform," "EBSO Host," "Emerald," "Google Scholar," "Science Direct," "ProQuest," "Web of Science," and "ERIC." This study incorporates the employment of concepts such as "global politics," "ASEAN Community," "political developments," "political dynamics," and "geostrategic conditions." Insufficient infrastructure and limited accessibility. This study provides a complete survey of the extant literature on global and regional political development processes. A comprehensive examination of long-term effects and comparing distribution tactics and research methods are needed. This research explores the requirement of predicting distinct vulnerabilities within each National Resilience Gatra in light of global and regional political development dynamics. In light of the input and optimistic outlook surrounding endeavours to execute primary national responsibilities, safeguard national interests, and actualize national objectives in pursuit of Indonesia's national aspirations, further investigation is warranted into global and regional political development dynamics. Additional work is necessary to address this gap.

Published: March 2024

Background: Postural deformities are disabling complications emerging at the early years of life. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to study the frequency of scoliosis condition in guidance schools of the city of Kashan and compare their anthropometric characteristics with the normal counterparts. Methods: This was cross-sectional study including 604 females at guidance-school to determine the frequency of scoliosis in the city of Kashan. Adam's forward bend test was employed to identify the cases of disorder. Descriptive statistics and Independent t-test were used to analyze the data. Results: The result of examining 604 guidance school females showed that 108 (17.9%) female students had scoliosis deformity and 496 (82.1%) were normal. The result suggested that there was a significant difference between the height, weight, waist, waist/hip ratio (WHR) and Body Mass Index (BMI) of normal females compared to the scoliotic female student (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusions: It was concluded that a considerable proportion of females were suffering from scoliosis deformity and their anthropometric factors were in poorer condition compared to normal individuals. Therefore, early identification of scoliosis may significantly improve the effectiveness of treatment and rehabilitation.

Published: March 2024

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the validity and the reliability of a new fitness intermittent judo test using the basic movement patterns of judo. Methods: Forty-one national level judo male athletes participated in this study. Eighteen judokas performed the intermittent judo fitness test consisting of 10 × 30 s maximal interspersed with 15 second rest, the Australian shuttle test, the special judo fitness test and a judo fight. Twenty three judokas performed twice the intermittent judo fitness test on different days. Results: The results showed significant correlations between the biggest number of Uchi-komi during the intermittent judo fitness test (Uchi-komibest), the longest distance covered during Australian shuttle test and the total projection in the special judo fitness test (P < 0.01). Likewise, a significant relationship was demonstrated between the total Uchi-komi performed in the new judo test (Uchi-komiTot) and both the total distance covered during Australian test and the total projection during the special judo fitness test (P < 0.01). In addition, a significant correlation of the rating of perceived exertion was observed between the intermittent judo fitness test and judo fight (P < 0.05). The intra-class correlation coefficient analysis revealed relatively strong test-retest reliability for Uchi-komibest and Uchi-komiTot (> 0.90). The smallest worthwhile change showed that a change of 2 and 4 Uchi-komi in Uchi-komibest and Uchi-komiTot respectively is occurred. Conclusions: The new fitness intermittent judo test is both valid and reliable measurement tool to assess judokas’ fitness at the basic judo movement patterns.

Authors: Hariri Salar , Sadeghi Heydar
Published: March 2024

Mawashi-Geri Jodan technique (circular kicking to the opponent’s head), is one of the most commonly used techniquesin the Karate, especially in the combat style. Although the speed of the implementation of the technique plays an important role in gaining points, there is no specific pattern for optimal performance of the technique. In this research, it was aimed at reviewing the results of the previous research that has been conducted on the effective issues relating to the success of this technique performance. The related articles were searched in ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar by considering the words like Karate, biomechanics, kinetic and kinetic analysis, EMG of Mawashi-Geri and EMG of kick. In the years ranging from 2000 to 2018, the findings of the research showed that the quadriceps muscles, especially rectus femoris muscle, played a major role in the efficacy of technique performance. Keeping the knee upward while rotating the body, the technique will be performed faster due to closer distance toward the opponent. Therefore, Karate player can obtain the required score more easily and quickly. It seems that the use of this pattern will be effective in performing the technique of Mawashi-Geri in Karate.
The Trickster and the Witch
Authors: Asprem Egil , Casinge Sebastian
Published: March 2024

At the centre of this article stands a striking but poorly understood artefact held at the Nordic Museum in Stockholm (NM.0159389): A piece of bovine leg bone carved in the likeness of a human skull. Traditionally described as an “idol”, the artefact belongs to abundle of “witchcraft tools” (trolltyg) that have been attributed to the legendary witch, “captain Elin”, loosely built on the historical person Elin Eriksdotter from Mofikerud, who was tried in a late witch trial in Näs, Värmland, in 1720. Scholars have long knownthat the attribution of the skull figure and most of the other items to Elin is false. In this article, we first describe how the association with “captain Elin” arose, shedding new light on the creation of the legend and its association with the “witchcraft tools”. Secondly,we present new archival evidence that suggests an entirely different context for the bone artefact, namely in the encounters between Romani people and the majority population at the end of the Swedish Great Power era. We discuss the significance of this new contextfor the cultural memory of magic and witchcraft in Sweden, and for our understanding of the Romani minority’s place in early-modern society.
Schizophrenic Identity and Other Gender Issues in Finnish Folklore Studies
Authors: Hämäläinen Niina
Published: March 2024

This article gives an overview of two early female folklorists and one folklore collector from the mid nineteenth to the mid twentieth century. The aim is to reveal the symbolic violence and rejection the three female scholars underwent through the use of the term trivialization. I have chosen Charlotta Europaeus, Helmi Helminen and Elsa Enäjärvi as examples because of their early appearance in the field. These cases illustrate to what extent gender, together with presumptions of the gender roles and scientific norms of the era, affected their scholarly work. Charlotta Europaeus, Helmi Helminen and Elsa Enäjärvi were fascinated by women’s life, female genres and intimate spheres of culture, but in order to succeed they needed male supporters and adaptation of male-dominated methods. Above all, the collecting and scientific work of the early female scholars concretely elucidates the female as dismissed and further, how the suppression of female gender and folklore is embedded in documentation and textualization practices.

Published: March 2024

The article focuses on Aliise Moora’s (1900–1996) career as a researcher within the changing sociopolitical situation in Estonia from the 1920s until the 1980s. Furthermore, it situates her contributions within the field of ethnological studies. How were her research and position influenced by the change of regimes and the possibility or impossibility of keeping up with the development of her discipline in the West? How did she adjust to the official ideology and the restrictions the authorities had imposed on ethnological research? To what extent did she accept the post-war Soviet research discourse, and what was her role in preserving and advancing ethnology as a national science? The article also examines how Aliise Moora’s career was influenced by being a woman, the wife of the renowned archaeologist and academician Harri Moora, and the mother of a big family.

ABOUT THE STYLE OF THE FIRST SYMPHONY BY ALEXANDER BELOBORODOV
Authors: Стачинский В.И.
Published: March 2024

Статья посвящена стилистическим особенностям симфонического творчества Александра Белобородова. Обращение композитора в Первой симфонии к карело-финскому фольклору несёт в себе бережное отношение к этническим традициям и влияет на способ взаимодействия с музыкальным материалом при помощи напевности и вариативности. Напевность предполагает линеарность, протяжность, а вариативность – изменение мелодического и фактурного изложения при сохранении интонационной основы. Обобщённый образ свободы национального духа, выраженный в протяжной кантилене, убедительно демонстрирует гуманистическую направленность художественного замысла автора, задаёт эмоциональную атмосферу, родственную ощущениям широты эпического пространства «Калевалы».

The article is devoted to the stylistic features of symphonic works by Alexander Beloborodov. The composer's reference to the Karelian-Finnish folklore in the First Symphony shows a careful attitude to ethnic traditions and influences the way of interacting with musical material with the help of melodiousness and variability. Melodiousness implies linearity, length, and variability – a change in melodic and textural presentation while maintaining the intonational basis. The generalized image of the freedom of the national spirit, expressed in a drawn-out cantilena, convincingly demonstrates the humanistic orientation of the author's artistic intention, sets an emotional atmosphere akin to the sensations of the breadth of the Kalevala epic space.
CLUSTER TECHNIQUE – FIELD TECHNIQUE – MICROPOLYPHONY: GYÖRGY LIGETI’S COMPOSITIONAL INNOVATIONS IN THEORETICAL UNDERSTANDING OF ERKKI SALMENHAARA

Published: March 2024

В 1960-е годы Лигети разработал технику статической сонорной композиции, известную также как микрополифония. Первое её теоретическое осмысление принадлежало финскому исследователю и композитору Эркки Салменхааре, который в 1969 году опубликовал книгу «Das musikalische Material und seine Behandlung in den Werken Apparitions, Atmospheres, Aventures und Requiem von György Ligeti». В данном труде была предпринята типологизация композиторских техник в рамках сонорики. Исходя из свойств используемого музыкального материала, Салменхаара дифференцировал в творчестве Лигети кластерную технику, технику поля и микрополифонию. Автор данной статьи рассматривает специфику каждого метода композиции, выявляя их сходство и отличие, а также предлагает новую интерпретацию соотношения техники поля и микрополифонии, отличную от представленной в исследовании Салменхаары. В конце статьи делается вывод о продуктивности исследовательского подхода к сонорике через анализ свойств музыкального материала.

In the 1960s, Ligeti developed a technique of static sonor composition, also known as micropolyphony. Its first theoretical understanding belonged to the Finnish musicologist and composer Erkki Salmenhaara, who published the book “Das musikalische Material und seine Behandlung in den Werken Apparitions, Atmospheres, Aventures und Requiem von György Ligeti” in 1969. In this study, a typology of Ligeti’s technique was proposed. Based on the properties of the musical material used, Salmenhaara differentiated cluster technique, field technique and micropolyphony in Ligeti’s oeuvre. The author of this article examines the specifics of each composition method, revealing their similarities and differences, and offers a new interpretation of the relationship between the field technique and micropolyphony, which differs from the one presented in Salmenhaara’s study. At the end of the article, a conclusion is drawn about the productivity of the research approach to sonorics through the analysis of the properties of musical material.
Dynamic channel gain parameter based resource allocation strategy for cellular system

Published: March 2024

Future mobile communication systems will be designed to support a wide range of data rates with complex quality of service matrix. The demand of higher bandwidth and data rates has been increased substantially during recent years. In order to achieve efficient resource utilization in all sorts of deployment scenarios and QoS requirements. Several interference reduction techniques have been suggested in past and proved to be effective in reducing the interference to some extent and thereby increase system capacity. Till now the research was done only on to control intracellular interference but in this paper it is discussed about the intracellular interference. However, in a highly loaded system, the problem of intercellular interference remains an important issue. In this paper, the intercellular interference problem of scheduling process is to be overcome by introducing a new and efficient resource allocation strategy called weight Matrix (WM) and with dynamic channel gain parameter. The proposed algorithm is to evaluate the existing resource allocation for performance evaluation. In this paper we increase system throughput and decrease the packet loss and we analyze the communication period. Finally we show how the throughput is increased compared to fixed algorithm. Also we show how the packet loss is decreased compared to fixed algorithm. This work considered single carrier but it can further be extended with multicarrier systems and also it can be extended to priority queuing and also we can give power ratings to users.
