Published: June 2023

Abstract. Inclusive education has gained momentum in the last few years as it becomes the buzzword in the vernacular of the Indonesia’s education sector, especially among the educators and education providers in Indonesia. Inclusive education requires education providers to provide quality and accessible education for students with disabilities. This article examines the practice of inclusive education at the Lazuardi Global Islamic School. It is located at the border of West Java and the capital city of Jakarta and is considered as one of the first educational institutions to offer inclusive education within an Islamic educational setting. The article begins with an overview of the inclusive education program offered since 1994 and the progressive orientation of the school’s organization, management, teachers’ educational development and training, in addition to an inclusive curriculum development, that has enabled implementation of an inclusive education. Based on qualitative research and extensive interviews with the school’s leaders, teachers, health professional staffs, parents, and students, this article discusses and analyses the experience of Lazuardi School in implementing inclusive education. The story of Lazuardi can be used as a reference for other Islamic education providers to offer inclusive Islamic education system. Keywords: Inclusive education; students with disabilities; special education needs; Islamic schools; Indonesia. Abstrak.

Although there is established evidence for the treatment of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) at the outset, the subsequent management of these patients is less well-defined. This review discusses the currently available evidence for the initial type and duration of anticoagulation for LVT and explores potential treatment options after the initial period of anticoagulation. Of 2,052 studies screened, 32 studies (with three randomised controlled trials) were included. The initial anticoagulation strategy was either warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants, with the majority of studies showing similar outcomes. If LVT persists, studies recommended continuing anticoagulation (n=11/17) or switching to a different class of anticoagulant (n=7/17). After resolution, five studies recommended continuing anticoagulation in the presence of high-risk features of recurrence (i.e. persistently depressed left ventricular ejection fraction and/or apical wall dyskinesia). Medical management should be optimised, together with the appropriate revascularisation strategy, as clinically indicated. Synthesising the evidence, a practical algorithm for the management of LVT is proposed.

The work purpose is to investigate the water parameters of the Verkhno-Ivachivsk water intake, Ternopil and develop a model of water quality assessment and management. Common methods of hydroecological studies of surface water were used to determine hydrochemical indicators. A model based on fuzzy logic and neural networks implemented in Matlab software was used to assess the water quality of the water intake. As a result of a complex hydroecological study of the water intake, which provides the drinking water majority supply in Ternopil, the content of the main pollutants (compounds of nitrogen, phosphorus, petroleum products, phenols, surface active agents) was determined (May, June, November, January 2019-2020). We compared the obtained indicator values with the ecological regulations and drinking water quality standards and we also assessed the ecological danger by the content of individual substances and the ecotoxicological situation in general. It was established that the water is slightly alkaline, which contributes to the presence of carbon dioxide in the form of a hydrogen carbonate ion, ensuring an environ-mentally acceptable gas regime of water. The reason for water alkalinity is the rotting of organic substances from the agricultural sector. The water quality according to the phosphate indicator is good even in the conditions of intensive supply of phosphates with sewage, due to their transition into insoluble forms and accumulation in sediments (silt), which is also facilitated by the low alkalinity of the water. An increased content of nitrogen compounds (ammonium, nitrates) in the water was revealed. Pollution and disruption of the nitrogen-containing compound cycle can be associated with the inflow of nitrogen compounds from surface runoff water and municipal and household washes, the organic substance decomposition in the agricultural sector and a violation of the production and destruction process ratio. The aquifer significant pollution by anthropogenic origin organic substances is reflected in the value of BOD5 indicator, which is higher than the permissible level. The established values indicate high organic pollution and correlates with the formation of significant ammonia amounts which is a product of anaerobic and aerobic organic substance oxidation. After defuzzification of all neural connections in Matlab program we obtained a model for evaluating the quality of water intake at an average level with an indicator of 1.52, which corresponds to the rating scale - an average level in the range (1.36-2.18).

Published: June 2023

The results of the scientific work on the theory and methodology of the study of sacral-recreational potential are highlighted in this article. Interpretation of the concept of sacral-recreational potential of the territory as a combination of conditions and resources, as well as sacred landscapes of natural and anthropogenic origin, their components, which are aimed at ensuring the recreational demand of the population on the basis of a generalization of scientific works that relate to the study of the concepts of sacral-recreational potential, the sacral-tourist potential was formulated for the first time. The conceptual components of sacral and potential potential are resources and conditions. Sacred objects of natural and anthropogenic origin serve as resources of sacred-recreational potential and, regardless of their genesis, can function only within the limits of a specific geographical envi- ronment. Such a combination is characterized by a set of relationships and ensures the formation of a sacred landscape. The natural (geological, geomorphological, hydrogeological, hydrological, climatic), social (historical-cultural, social, economic, political), an- thropogenic-transforming (positive, negative) conditions and resources for the development of the sacral-recreational potential of the territory are identified and characterized. The article testifies that due to the russian aggression against Ukraine, a significant part of religious buildings, which are part of the sacral-recreational potential of the country, were destroyed. The essence of various types of evaluations was defined and adapted to the sacral-recreational potential. Thanks to the above, it became possible to build a structural and logical scheme of its evaluation, where the object of evaluation is the sacred landscape/sacred object, and the subject is the manager of the recreation organization or the recreant. Types of evaluations and approaches to evaluating the sacral-recreational potential of the territory are summarized.
Sequence stratıgraphıc analysıs of the Galmaz field based on well loggıng data
Authors: Seidov Vaqif M. , Khalilova Lala N.
Published: June 2023

It is known that over 90% of oil, gas and gas condensate in Azerbaijan is produced from Productive Series (PS) of the Early Pliocene. In this respect, the detailed study of Pro- ductive Series deposits and their evolution conditions has a special value. Currently in most sedimentary basins of the world the latest highly informative methods of stratigraphic analysis are applied and one of these methods is sequence-stratigraphy, which is used in this study. The application of the concept of sequence stratigraphy enables an in-depth analysis of the study area to be conducted from a geological point of view. Despite the fact that the search for oil and gas deposits in the basins of Azerbaijan Republic has been going on for many years, there is a limited understanding of the distribution of elements associated with the oil system within the sequence stratigraphic structure. This is evidenced by the small number of scientific publications that exist in this area at the moment. To study in more detail the sedimentation process of PS of the Pliocene in the Galmaz field the genetically tied facies have been outlined and correlated within the framework of chronostratigraphic boundaries. As the study targets we have chosen the stages of Absheron, Akchagyl and PS of Pliocene in the Galmaz field. New data acquired by well logging techniques were re-examined in detail. To analyze and interpret the data , NeuralogTM and PetrelTM software were applied. From positions of the sequence-stratigraphy and taking into account the curve features (gamma ray log) predictions of the sedimentation environment of PS have been made. In the study process the sequences and system tracts have been outlined and studied, the sedimentation periods of the outlined sequences have been defined. It has been suggested to apply stratigraphic surfaces for tracing changes in regression and transgression surfaces. Clay and sand fractions of rocks were evaluated with further lithological analysis. On the gamma-ray curves, the intervals with intensity values less than 3.5 mR/h were considered as reservoir layers. At the same time, the normalized value of αSP, calculated from the curve of Spontaneous Polarization, was assumed to be greater than 0.6. Based on the sequence-stratigraphy analysis of oil-field geophysical data it has been established that the geological section of the Galmaz area was developing at various rates and in frequently changing energy mode. It has been also made clear that parasequences of the Absheron stage and Productive Series were formed in progradation mode by detritus brought by river flows. Akchagyl sediments play the role of the regional major cap in the basin.
Lithological-magneto-palynological characteristics of the Upper Miocene, Pliocene and Gelasian deposits of the Cenozoic reference section of the Dnieper-Donetsk depression (Ukraine)

Published: June 2023

Well 11 is located near the village of Velika Lanna, Krasnograd District, Kharkiv Region, and at the current stage of research is the most representative section of the continental Upper Cenozoic deposits of the Dnieper-Donets depression. For the first time, a comprehensive description of the Upper Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene deposits obtained from the results of paleopedological, palynological, and paleomagnetic studies is presented for the research region. Characteristic features of 13 climatolites (pedocomplexes and intersoil clays) including five upper Miocene, three lower Pliocene, two upper Pliocene and two climatolites correlated with the Gelasian of the International Stratigraphic Scale were determined. According to the results of miner- alogical studies, three mineralogical strata such as montmorillonite-kaolinite, hydromica-montmorillonite, and hydromica were traced for the deposits of the section. The mineralogical boundaries are confined to the levels of the Salgir–Liubimivka and Siversk–Beregove climatoliths. The spore-pollen complexes of all studied deposits are described. It was established that the complexes characterizing each studied climatolith differ in taxonomic composition, the ratio of the pollen of the main groups of plants, and the presence of characteristic taxa. Changes in the composition of spore-pollen spectra characterizing all soils of pedocomplexes as well as intersoil clays and embryonic soils formed during short-term warming at the time of the cool stages of the Miocene, Pliocene, and Gelasian periods were traced. The described spore-pollen complexes and spectra were compared with those from the deposits of the same age in adjacent regions, which allowed identifying the general and regional features of the compared complexes. A detailed record of changes in the geomagnetic field during the formation of the Upper Miocene-Pleistocene deposits was obtained, which enables to construct a paleomagnetic section reflecting the areas with normal, reverse and anomalous polarity. According to the nature of distribution of such areas, the section is tied to the Cox scale. All these materials allowed carrying out the stratigraphic dissection of the Miocene-Gelasian deposits of the studied section, as well as to substantiate the feasibility of defining it as a reference for the Miocene-Pleistocene deposits of the Dnieper-Donets depression.
Theory of geocultural technologies in international relations
Authors: Vysotskyi Oleksandr Y. , Holovko Ivan K. , Vysotska Olha Y.
Published: June 2023

The development of the theory of geocultural technologies is an attempt to integrate various theories and practices of foreign policy cultural activities of states on the world stage within the framework of a generalizing scientific vision, as well as to rethink international relations on the basis of geographical and cultural determinism, as well as the technological approach. The constitutive basis of the theory of geocultural technologies in international relations is the idea that the subordination of social actors to power is determined by its cultural attractiveness for them and leads to their further internalization, immersion in the cultural and symbolic interpretive matrix that justifies and justifies power in its geocultural originality. The complementary application of geographical, civilizational, cultural, deterministic, communicative and technological approaches has made it possible to outline the contours of the theory of geocultural technologies in international relations, to interpret effective practices of cultural engagement in the local, regional and global dimensions as geocultural technologies. Today, the problem of global cultural governance is increasingly coming to the fore among scholars. By actively participating in global cultural governance, states can not only realize their national interests, but also build the world of the future in accordance with their long-term strategies and culturally determined ideals of coexistence in the context of further increasing interdependence between peoples. In this sense, geocultural technologies are effective means of global cultural governance. The multidimensional nature and manifestations of geocultural technologies as effective practices in the international arena for the dissemination of geocultures allows them to be considered as means of international communication, as tools for public diplomacy, as means of cultural diplomacy, as soft power, as propaganda, and as legitimization. Thanks to geocultural technologies, a global transculture is being formed, which is a synthesis of ideas, images, and material things from different geocul- tures. Geocultures are defined as historically ordered sets of symbols, values, ideals, ideas, language practices, religious traditions, technologies of reproduction and transformation of social relations that embody the spirit of a particular geographical part of the world. Geoculture is inherent in any civilizational community or national-political entity.
THE RELEVANCE OF NOMINATIVE MEANS OF THE CONCEPT EXPRESSION TECHNOLOGY IN THE ENGLISH WORLDVIEW: MULTILINGUAL ASPECTS
Authors: Anisimova Alla , Myroshnychenko Daria
Published: June 2023

The purpose of the article is to review and arrange according to the specified criteria nominative means of expressing the concept of TECHNOLOGY in the context of the English-speaking, French-speaking and German-speaking world picture; coverage of nominative features; identification of a different and common character to determine a comprehensive idea of the expression of the concept of TECHNOLOGY in the context of the English-speaking, French-speaking and German-speaking picture of the world. The main problem of modern linguistics is the study of the relationship of language and thinking to language and culture, due to the fact that language is the founder of culture. The main attention is paid to the study of the structure of the language system in connection with the consciousness of a person, his worldview and spiritual life; specifics of speech behavior of different peoples. The concept appears as the key and most relevant unit of research in the context of cognitive linguistics.The concept of TECHNOLOGY represents a complex of socially significant ideas of a person about the process of his relations with various objects of reality. Similar concepts consolidate the intellectual space of the respective era, largely determining the nature of thinking and axiological relations of its representatives. Concepts as elements of consciousness are completely independent of speech, and language means convey only part of the concept with their meanings, which is confirmed by the existence of many different synonyms, definitions and descriptions of the same concept.

ЗМІСТ І СТРУКТУРА ПІДРУЧНИКІВ З НІМЕЦЬКОЇ МОВИ ДЛЯ СЕРЕДНІХ ШКІЛ БУКОВИНИ (ПЕРША ПОЛОВИНА ХХ СТ.)
Authors: Homeniuk Olga
Published: June 2023

Здійснено аналіз підручників з німецької мови для середніх шкіл Буковини у першій половині XX ст. В ході дослідження встановлено, що, в тогочасних підручниках, згідно з навчальною програмою, здійснювалася реалізація прямого методу навчання іноземних мов. Визначено, що на початковому етапі вивчення німецької мови метою навчання було формування навичок та вмінь правильного і вільного висловлювання в усній і письмовій формах у повсякденних побутових ситуаціях, а також розуміння культури німецького народу. У старших класах необхідно було вміти вільно читати твори художньої літератури, які пов’язані з історією, наукою та сучасною культурою німецького народу, вміти застосувати отримані знання німецькою мовою в усній та письмовій формах. Виявлено, що навчальні програми досліджуваного відрізка часу включали вимоги та рекомендації до укладання підручників.Проаналізовані підручники зазначеного періоду поділено на дві групи: підручники, які містили тексти, різні вправи та завдання; хрестоматії для читання, до яких входили уривки різножанрової художньої літератури провідних письменників.У процесі навчання іноземної мови у підручниках акцентували увагу на використанні пісенного матеріалу для формування вмінь правильної вимови. У навчальному виданні з німецької мови 1925 р. уперше виявлено виконання тестів, які полягали у виборі правильної відповіді серед запропонованих, а у підручнику 1929 р. з’являється додаток із методичними рекомендаціями для вчителя щодо виконання учнями завдань.Встановлено, що навчальні видання не містили фонетичного матеріалу. Для засвоєння лексичного матеріалу на початку вивчення іноземної мови використовувалась наочна семантизація, котру згодом замінили на вербальну. Пояснення граматичних явищ відбувалось на основі підібраних прикладів із текстів та вправ, а також рідною мовою учнів. Навчання говоріння здійснювалось за допомогою текстів, діалогів і вправ на розвиток усного мовлення. Читанню різножанрової літератури приділяли значну увагу. Для навчання письма використовувалися такі види вправ, як диктанти, переписування, творчі завдання тощо. Пропонувалось також ознайомлення з готичним шрифтом. Автори намагалися уникати перекладу, проте його все ж використовували під час пояснення граматичного матеріалу в молодших класах.Головна особливість хрестоматій з німецької мови полягала в наявності перекладених уривків румунських авторів, творів для позакласного читання, пояснень слів і виразів.

Published: June 2023

Virtual tour is one of the rapidly growing applications of multimedia technology which is used for various purposes, including the dissemination of information in an interesting way. The education sector is also not spared from using virtual tour media for promotional purposes, and campuses are no exception to this rule. Large virtual tour content causes high access speed, ultimately reducing the level of comfort experienced by users. This study aims to compress panoramic images displayed on a campus virtual tour using a lossless compression method and the Run Length Encoding (RLE) algorithm. First, panoramic images are combined into one, then individual images are compressed. When recreating a virtual campus tour, compressed images are used so that the amount of data transferred is smaller. The load access speed index increases from 7,233 seconds to 3,789 seconds when images are compressed from 64 bits to 8 bits, with a compression percentage of 27%. The findings from this research are that the RLE algorithm has not been able to compress large files effectively even though it is quite successful in increasing the load access of the virtual tour website.

Authors: Diqi Mohammad , Sahal Ahmad , Nur Aini Farida
Published: June 2023

This research paper proposes a novel method, Exponential Moving Average Long Short-Term Memory (EMA LSTM), for multi-step vector output prediction of time series data using deep learning. The method combines the LSTM with the exponential moving average (EMA) technique to reduce noise in the data and improve the accuracy of prediction. The research compares the performance of EMA LSTM to other commonly used deep learning models, including LSTM, GRU, RNN, and CNN, and evaluates the results using statistical tests. The dataset used in this study contains daily stock market prices for several years, with inputs of 60, 90, and 120 previous days, and predictions for the next 20 and 30 days. The results show that the EMA LSTM method outperforms other models in terms of accuracy, with lower RMSE and MAPE values. This study has important implications for real-world applications, such as stock market forecasting and climate prediction, and highlights the importance of careful preprocessing of the data to improve the performance of deep learning models.

The Patrol Information System for the Prevention of Forest Land Fires (SIPP Karhutla) in Indonesia is a tool for assisting patrol activities for controlling forest and land fires in Indonesia. The addition of Karhutla SIPP users causes the need for system scalability testing. This study aims to perform non-functional testing that focuses on scalability testing. The steps in scalability testing include creating schemas, conducting tests, and analyzing results. There are five schemes with a total sample of 700 samples. Testing was carried out using the JMeter automation testing tool assisted by Blazemeter in creating scripts. The scalability test parameter has three parameters: average CPU usage, memory usage, and network usage. The test results show that the CPU capacity used can handle up to 700 users, while with a memory capacity of 8GB it can handle up to 420 users. All users is the user menu that has the highest value for each test parameter The average value of CPU usage is 44.8%, the average memory usage is 69.48% and the average network usage is 2.8 Mb/s. In minimizing server performance, the tile cache map method can be applied to the system and can increase the memory capacity used.
Teacher perspectives on writing instruction in the Language Introduction Program in Sweden
Authors: Magnusson Ulrika , Rejman Katarina
Published: June 2023

This study explores teacher perspectives and beliefs on writing instruction in the Swedish Language Introduction Program (LI) through interviews with six teachers in Swedish as a second language. The study was guided by the following research questions: How do the teachers construct the students discursively, including the students’ educational background and prior knowledge? How do the teachers frame writing instruction, as evident by their discourses? LI is an upper secondary school program framed for newly arrived students, 15 to 18 years old, who need to qualify for mainstream programs by attaining the goals of compulsory school year 9. The study is framed within theory on second language writing instruction and teachers’ beliefs. The teachers’ discourses of writing instruction were analyzed against theory on second language writing instruction, genre pedagogy, and practices of care, and related to the teachers’ discursive constructions of the group of students as vulnerable and heterogeneous. All teachers exploited genre pedagogy, with its emancipatory aims, to enable access to the genres of schooling. The teachers’ expressed aims were directed toward long-term goals, such as employability and democratic participation. The teachers were firmly based in both theory and experience, which the demanding context seemed to require. In spite of indisputable challenges, the teachers conveyed a sense of belief in the possibilities of teaching.

Culture plays a significant buying role in shaping different aspects of consumer behavior such as rational, impulse, and compulsive buying behavior. Impulse buying is one of the prevalent phenomena that significantly affect the sales revenue of companies. This study focuses on unveiling the interaction between cultural factors and impulse buying behavior. For this systematic literature review, 112 significant articles were examined to understand the relationship between various aspects of culture and impulse buying behavior in both online and offline contexts. Further investigation of impulse buying in cross-cultural context helps to understand and classify different theoretical perspectives to study impulse buying behavior and cultural factors. This study offers practical implications for retail professionals and e-commerce strategists to design and implement viable cross-cultural marketing campaigns. Academic researchers may also understand research gaps and contribute further to understanding cross-cultural impulse buying.
“Não se Nasce Mulher, Torna-se”: Impressões das Mulheres Sobre a Carreira no Agronegócio e Seus Espaços
Authors: Berlato Heliani , Andretta Danilo , Fernandes Thais
Published: June 2023

Os estudos de discriminação de gênero e carreiras das mulheres nas organizações reforçam o quanto elas são silenciadas em suas falas, desvalorizadas em suas competências e recebem menos que os homens. No entanto, há poucas pesquisas que exploram esse tema no contexto do agronegócio. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi compreender como a discriminação de gênero é percebida por mulheres egressas de cursos na área de ciências agrárias. Como metodologia, um questionário foi aplicado e contou com 315 respondentes, sendo realizada uma Análise Fatorial e, posteriormente, uma Análise de Agrupamentos. Foram identificados cinco fatores e, a partir disso, foram definidos dois grupos, denominados “mantenedoras do sistema patriarcal” e “conscientes do protagonismo”. Os dois grupos demarcam tensões sobre como percebem a discriminação e vivenciam os múltiplos desdobramentos dos comportamentos e atitudes sexistas que permeiam suas trajetórias de carreira no agronegócio.
Lima Barreto e a política dos sentidos em Numa e a Ninfa
Authors: Sousa Thiago
Published: June 2023

Este artigo discute como Lima Barreto construiu uma política dos sentidos, isto é, de que forma refletiu sobre o tema do corpo no espaço no romance Numa e a Ninfa, embora outros manuscritos do autor sejam mobilizados para a articulação do tema. Os relatos que o carioca produziu acerca do espaço parlamentar permitem entender como a corporeidade de uma época – o Rio de Janeiro da Primeira República – ganha visibilidades e dizibilidades em sua fortuna. Desse modo, este artigo pontua que a crítica política barretiana, geralmente situada pelos pesquisadores de sua obra na discussão sobre ética e no empenho dos edis com a coisa pública, permite refletir sobre o teatro de emoções e gestualidades dos governantes. O olhar e a expressividade oral dos congressistas são avaliados neste artigo como forma de conferir o funcionamento dessa política dos sentidos, intencionada nas narrativas de Barreto a respeito dos corpos de homens e mulheres no e pelo espaço. Como resultado, avaliou-se que o estudo da expressividade desenvolvido por Barreto, além de ser uma maneira de ver o mundo, traduz percepções de que o corpo é um produto da cultura modulável pelo espaço.
Breaking Down Break-It-Fix-It: An Automated Software Repair Replication
Authors: Pittman Jason M. , Concotta Kira , Saul Rebecca
Published: June 2023

Software quality is strongly correlated with the quantity and severity of bugs. While there are a variety of tools, techniques, and practices to aid production of robust and resilient code, low quality software is draining trillions of dollars from organizations annually. Meanwhile,
debugging and fixing coding errors consumes upwards of half of developer labor. To say this situation is untenable is an understatement. Fortunately, automated software repair offers a possible solution. The literature around automated code fixing has been expanding with a variety of implementations
ranging from genetic programming, code translation, and various machine learning algorithms. All report positive results, however there has not yet been a dedicated effort to measure to what extent the various implementations are generalizable. Accordingly, we sought to replicate a prominent
study in the field in two parts. The first part consisted of replicating the training of the machine learning model using the source study materials. We found training to be impossible at first due to package dependencies and missing package files. However, we were able to replicate the self-repair
evaluation. The results were identical to the source study. Later, using a Docker compose file obtained from the original authors, we were able to replicate BIFI model training and again match outcomes. Overall, based on the replication outcomes, we offer future leaning recommendations and
ideas for future work.

There is a wide variety of cancer cells that can be linked to the presence of TPX2. However, there is not a lot of evidence regarding its role in the development and maintenance of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). In our study, bioinformatics analysis was performed to obtain differentially expressed mRNAs and miR-NAs in ccRCC. Survival curves predicted correlation of TPX2 expression with patient survival. The upstream regulatory miRNA of TPX2 was predicted to be miRNA-27b-3p through database, and dual luciferase assay verified the targeted relationship. qRT-PCR and Western blot were employed for examination of TPX2 mRNA and protein expression in ccRCC cells. Proliferation, invasion, migration and cell cycle were detected by CCK-8, colony formation, wound healing, Transwell, and flow cytometry assays. The results showed that TPX2 showed very high expression in ccRCC, and patients with higher TPX2 expression had shorter relative survival. Low miRNA-27b-3p expression was found in ccRCC. Knockdown of TPX2 or forced expression of miRNA-27b-3p in ccRCC cells inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and arrested cell division in G0/G1 phase. Dual luciferase reporter presented that miRNA-27b-3p targeted TPX2 to inhibit its expression. Rescue experiments demonstrated that the miRNA-27b-3p/ TPX2 axis affected the biological functions of ccRCC cells. Concurrent overexpression of miRNA-27b-3p and TPX2 inhibited the facilitating effect of TPX2 on ccRCC cell growth. The results revealed novel regulatory mechanisms involved in ccRCC progression, hoping that it may spark an insight for later discovery about the new therapeutic targets for ccRCC.
Limit equilibrium theory in calculating screw pile bearing capacity under compression

Published: June 2023

The problem of calculating the ultimate bearing capacity of a screw pile is studied using the limit equilibrium theory in this paper. Calculation methods for the critical screw pitch and the ultimate bearing capacity under two representative failure modes are proposed. Four key parameters affecting the ultimate bearing capacity are compared and analysed, and design optimisation suggestions are put forward. The results illustrate that the ultimate bearing capacity of the screw pile is mainly affected by the shear strength of the soil, the height of the screw thread and the screw pitch. When designing the screw pile, the height of the screw thread could be increased and the screw pitch reduced to some extent.

Hard tissue characteristics of patients with bimaxillary protrusion
Authors: Osman Muhammed Ikhwaan , Sethusa Mosimane Peter Silas
Published: June 2023

Bimaxillary protrusion (BP) is a common developmental condition amongst the South African Black population characterized by proclined incisors with resultant procumbency of the lips. The aim of this study was to perform a cephalometric radiographic analysis of the pre-treatment dental and skeletal structures in a sample of Black South Africans in order to identify the characteristic features of BP in this race group and compare them to norms. Records of 67 South African Black patients divided into 28 males and 39 females with a mean age of 17.8 years, clinically diagnosed with BP were included in the study. Cephalometric parameters were hand traced on lateral cephalometric radiographs and measurements recorded for evaluation and comparison to norm values used for this population group to determine the features that both males and females present with. Characteristic pre-treatment dental features of the sample included maxillary incisors that were proclined and protruded with resultant decreased interincisal angle, mandibular incisors which were favourably positioned. Skeletal features included retrognathic jaws (maxilla to a greater degree) resulting in a mild to moderate Class III skeletal pattern but with females exhibiting a smaller ANB angle indicating a greater tendency for a Class III skeletal pattern. The skeletal growth pattern was vertically directed with an average anterior facial height ratio. The findings indicate that most BP patients in this South African Black population presented with dentoalveolar protrusion, retrognathic jaws and a mild to moderate skeletal Class III pattern

Protein network analysis links the NSL complex to Parkinson's disease via mitochondrial and nuclear biology – Protein-protein interaction data to functional enrichment analysis v2
Authors: Kelly Katie
Published: June 2023

Whilst the majority (~90-95%) of PD cases are sporadic, much of our understanding of the pathophysiological basis of disease can be traced back to the study of rare, monogenic forms of disease. However, in the past decade, the availability of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) has facilitated a shift in focus, toward identifying common risk variants conferring an increased risk of developing PD across the population. A recently developed mitophagy screening assay of GWAS candidates, has functionally implicated the non-specific lethal (NSL) complex, a chromatin remodeler, in the regulation of PINK1-mitophagy. Here, a bioinformatics approach has been taken to investigate the interactome of the NSL complex, to unpick its relevance to PD progression. The mitochondrial interactome of the NSL complex has been built, mining 3 separate repositories: PINOT, HIPPIE and MIST, for curated, literature-derived protein-protein interaction (PPI) data. A multi-layered approach has been taken to; i) build the ‘mitochondrial’ NSL interactome, applying PD gene-set enrichment analysis to explore the relevance of the NSL mitochondrial interactome to PD and, ii) build the PD-oriented NSL interactome, using functional enrichment, to uncover biological pathways underpinning the NSL /PD association.

Gagasan Lee Kuan Yew dalam Perjuangan Konsep Malaysian Malaysia: Persoalan Tentang Kedudukan Hak Keistimewaan Orang Melayu
Authors: Isa Muhammad Hafiz
Published: June 2023

The Malaysian Malaysia concept is an idea for nation-building efforts that was initiated by Lee Kuan Yew. This concept received support from multiracial political parties by forming a coalition known as the Malaysian Solidarity Convention (MSC). Beside that, there was a reaction of opposition from Malay political leaders, who consider this concept to threaten the special position of the Malays. Therefore, there is a question about the special position of the Malays in the Malaysian Malaysia concept. This is because this concept aims to fight for the formation of a nation based on racial diversity and against the dominance of a race. However, Lee Kuan Yew tried to emphasise that the Malaysian Malaysia concept does not intend to oppose the special rights. So, the objective of this study is to analyse whether the concept of Malaysian Malaysia aims to oppose Malay special rights. Views on the issue of a special position were also evaluated based on the views of UMNO leaders. This research used a history methodology to analyse such documents as DO 169/526, DO 169/529, DO 169/530 Parliamentary Debates Official Reports. Lee Kuan Yew’s stance on the special position of the Malays is somewhat ambiguous and contradictory. Lee Kuan Yew’s efforts to restore the negative view of Malay leaders towards the Malaysian Malaysia concept have had no effect. UMNO leaders have their own arguments for believing that the concept of Malaysian Malaysia aims to oppose the special position of the Malays.
