A review of Dr Wrangham’s book, ‘the Goodness Paradox . . . ‘, and insights into the evolution of human language, aesthetics, and free will
Authors: James Walter  , Charles Hamaker
Published: September 2024

Dr Richard Wrangham’s book and YouTubes are helping to explain our evolved psychology as primarily occurring in African hunter-gatherer bands before the end of the last ice age. This perspective is supported by the exquisite cave paintings and tool artifacts from this ancient time. The most important evidence about our origins, however, comes from recent anthropological studies of current bands that represent the earlier age. Results showed that 5-psychosocial-behaviors produced both the environment and the natural selection for our psychology. These are: 1) language, coalitional activities and egalitarianism organization, 2) problems of bullies for egalitarianism, 3) management of the problems by gossip, ostracism and executions, 4) those targeted by the management had shorter lives and fewer children demonstrating strong natural selection, 5) reduced targeting occurred for those showing high-quality activities or high status, which increased the complexity of the selection to include all of our psychological abilities. The evolved psychological abilities include those highlighted by Dr Wrangham: emotions, intelligence, conscience and personality, as well as those with only supporting evidence: developmental and social learning, theory of mind, language, aesthetics, and free will. Further support for the importance of the 5-psychosocial-behaviors is provided by evidence from the domestication syndrome, natural selection pressure, and a positive feedback model. In addition, these perspectives can explain issues such as why 50% of our thoughts and behaviors comes from our environment and development as demonstrated in identical twin studies, and why we experience life with agency and free will. Dr Wrangham’s work is producing a new explanation of our nature that can help us all to understand why we are the way we are.
Academic buoyancy, hope, and behavioral engagement in learning English as a foreign language: A mediation model
Authors: Qiong Wu
Published: September 2024

With the enhancement of positive psychology movement in educational field, the contributive role of academic buoyancy on academic and well-being outcomes has been validated. However, few studies have been conducted to explore the mediation mechanisms between academic buoyancy and engagement, especially in the field of teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). Inspired by the control-value theory (CVT), this study set out to examine how EFL buoyancy related to behavioral engagement, using a latent structural equation modelling (SEM). Gender, age, and family resources are controlled while validating the hypothesized model of “academic buoyancy—hope—behavioral engagement”. The sample comprised 542 students (47.7% female) in their second year of secondary education who responded to survey items in a cross-sectional design. Our findings reveal that academic buoyancy was positively correlated with hope, and behavioral engagement in the EFL settings. Also, it was found that the emotional experience of hope fully mediated the relationships between academic buoyancy and behavioral engagement. The hypothesized model accounts for 79.0% of the variance in EFL hope and 54.5% of the variance in behavioral engagement. These findings shed light on the influence mechanism of academic buoyancy on behavioral engagement in learning English as a foreign language. Implications, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.
Future of Gasoline Stations
Authors: Pravin Sankhwar
Published: September 2024

The gasoline fueling stations’ future during the automobile industry shift towards electric is questionable. With more than 196,000 gasoline fueling stations in the United States, many of them require an upgrade to electric charging stations. The regular fueling time from gasoline stations is significantly less than the charging time from an electric charging station. Preparedness for shifting from gasoline stations to electric vehicle (EV) charging stations requires detailed research on how consumer behavior changes given they will have a readily available charging port in their households. It would be essential to categorize the customers based on their preferences and thus plan the approach for meeting their needs. For large gasoline stations, the shift to EV charging stations becomes a viable choice as they tend to attract trucks and other travelers throughout the year. A model of electrical infrastructure was prepared for a large gasoline station by using the estimated number of customers visited. Improvement of amenities or devising a way to attract customers will be required to allow them to spend the waiting duration comfortably.

Published: September 2024

Faced with the effects of climate change, green spaces are very determining in the provision of ecosystem services, particularly in carbon sequestration. This is why, from a perspective of sustainable management of these high-value spaces, this study was carried out. Surface and itinerant survey methods were combined to collect floristic data. At the end of the inventories, 99 species distributed between 33 families and 75 genera including 24 species with special status were recorded in eight (08) types of development. The total biomass of all the species inventoried at Bouaflé is 4385.78 t, corresponding to a carbon rate of 2192.91 t for a CO2 equivalent of 8047.99 t. The economic value of the rate of CO2 sequestered by all types of development varies from 24143.97 Euros, or 15814274 FCFA according to the CDM carbon price to 112671.86 Euros, or 73800068 FCFA according to the REDD+ carbon price. Social and educational establishments recorded the highest biomass (1841.88 t) while the lowest biomass (5.53 t) was estimated in sports equipment. The average biomass estimated in all types of development is of the order of 232.02±185.64 t/ha, which corresponds to a carbon rate of 116.01±92.82 t/ha and an equivalent CO2 of 425.76±340.65 t/ha. Considering each type of development, the average value of biomass varies between 24.83 t/ha in sports facilities and 468.79 t/ha in cemeteries.

Published: September 2024

This study examines the impact of AI and digital transformation on Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) across continents. As AI and digital technologies increasingly reshape global business landscapes, SMEs face unique challenges and opportunities distinct from those of larger corporations. This research systematically reviews existing literature, guided by the PRISMA framework, to identify the barriers and enablers of AI adoption in SMEs across these diverse regions. The study identifies key challenges, including limited financial resources, lack of skilled personnel, data security concerns, and organizational resistance to change. These barriers vary across continents; for instance, African SMEs often struggle with the high costs of AI implementation and lack of resources and expertise, while European SMEs face stringent regulatory challenges and a lack of infrastructure and finances. In contrast, Asian SMEs, particularly in developing countries, grapple with sustainability and sustainable regulatory and cultural barriers. However, it's important to note that the potential of AI to enhance operations and customer engagement is a universally recognized benefit. Europe emphasizes risk management and automation, while Africa and Asia highlight cost reduction, market expansion, and scalability, reflecting their unique regional priorities and challenges. The study concludes that while AI adoption presents considerable growth potential for SMEs globally, the path to realizing these opportunities is shaped by regional contexts. The research underscores the need for tailored policy interventions, capacity-building initiatives, and cross-border collaborations to support SMEs in overcoming these barriers and fully leveraging AI technologies. This work contributes to understanding digital transformation in SMEs, providing practical insights for policymakers, industry leaders, and academics interested in the intersection of AI and business strategy across different continents.

In accordance with Law No. 25 of 1992 Chapter I Article 1 paragraph (1) concerning cooperatives. Cooperatives are business entities whose members are individuals or cooperative legal entities based on cooperative principles as well as people's economic movements based on the principle of family. Cooperatives are formed and managed democratically to meet the needs of members without making profit the main goal because cooperatives are established to improve the economic welfare of their members. The characteristics of cooperatives that distinguish them from other business entities are that cooperative members have a dual identity, namely members as owners and at the same time users of cooperative services. The history of cooperatives initially began in the 20th century. The history of cooperatives began with the results of small businesses that were not spontaneous and carried out by the common people. Low economic capacity encouraged small businesses to escape from suffering. Cooperatives were introduced in Indonesia in 1896 where the establishment of cooperatives was pioneered by R. Aria Wina Atmaja in Purwokerto, Central Java. On July 12, 1947, the cooperative movement in Indonesia held its first cooperative congress in Tasikmalaya. The date of the congress was later determined as Indonesian Cooperative Day. The existence of cooperatives in Indonesia is regulated in the 1945 Constitution article 33 paragraph 1 and Law no. 17 of 2012 concerning cooperatives. In Indonesia there are several types of cooperatives including savings and loan cooperatives, producer cooperatives, multi-purpose cooperatives, consumer cooperatives and many more including employee cooperatives. Employee cooperatives are cooperatives whose members are employees of the company itself without outside communities.

In recent decades, cataclysmic events, deterioration of air and water quality, and loss of biodiversity have forced us to look for ways to save nature. One of the ways to solve the problems is to ensure rational environmental management, which is possible by establishing an effective balance between consumption and compensation by creating an effective financial mechanism. The purpose of the study is to assess the efficiency of the current financial mechanism for environmental management in Ukraine and to determine the prospects for its improvement. The study uses analysis, synthesis, specification, systematization, and generalization. The graphical method was used to assess environmental taxes, and mathematical modelling was used to analyze the dependence of emissions on direct costs and capital investments in air protection and climate change. Environmental taxes in Ukraine are an ineffective instrument of the financial mechanism of environmental management. Their share in the structure of domestic GDP is lower than the share in the EU. The author suggests ways to improve them: to replace the CO2 tax with an energy tax; to cancel the tax-free limit of 500.000 tons of CO2 emissions per year; to change the structure of tax distribution; to introduce tax rebates. The correlation and regression analysis of the dependence of air pollutant emissions on current expenditures and capital investments in air protection and climate change issues showed the existence of a feedback loop. Investment support for environmental management should be provided from various sources in the following areas: national, local and international finances - primarily for the restoration of air, water and contaminated areas; own funds and international investments - for the modernization and greening of production.

Published: September 2024

This research examines the technological processes of applying CrN coating on low-alloy tool steel, focusing on the comparison between hardening-tempering-coating (HTC) and hardening-coating (HC) processes, with an emphasis on energy savings. The study investigates the chemical composition, microstructure, mechanical properties, fractography, residual stress, and corrosion resistance of the coated tool steel. Notably, the results indicate no significant differences in the microstructural, mechanical, and corrosion properties between the HTC and HC processes, suggesting that tempering may be excluded without compromising the quality. This study introduces a novel approach to tool steel coating, which improves energy efficiency while maintaining high-quality outcomes. The findings highlight potential improvements in industrial applications, offering an energy-efficient alternative that does not sacrifice the performance or durability of the tool steel. This advancement could lead to significant improvements in manufacturing efficiency and sustainability.

Problems that arise in relation to students related to ecological counseling are counseling places that are less representative as locations for counseling solutions. IAIDA students as santri students have various problems that must be resolved. However, unfavorable environmental conditions make the problem even more severe. Complex student problems result in a lack of social skills from students. They are required to graduate immediately so that they forget the essence of lectures, namely developing social skills. This study aims to accurately describe the conditions or situations that exist in a population or sample with the exception of explaining or finding causation between the variables studied. The research design used a One Shoot Case Study which was carried out in one experimental class. The results of the hypothesis test obtained a tcount value of 3,204 and a significance of 0.840. Look for ttable at a significant level of 5% with degrees of freedom (df) n-k-1 or 24-2-1 = 21. With a 2-sided test (significance = 0.05) the results obtained for ttable are 2.079. Because tcount (3.204) > ttable (2.079) then H0 is rejected. This means that Bronfenbrenner's ecological counseling has a significant effect on students' social skills.
Identification and Treatment of Fur Mites (Radfordia lemnina) in California Deer Mice (Peromyscus californicus) Using Selamectin
Authors: Capria Vittoria M , Freed Carrie L
Published: September 2024

Peromyscus species have been used in research for decades, yet there are no specific reports of mite infestations in the laboratory setting despite many reports of various mite species found in wild Peromyscus. This study documents P. californicus infestation with Radfordia lemnina in an academic research setting. During the colony quarantine period, deer mice tested positive on a general mite PCR but negative on all species-specific mite PCR assays. Tape tests were performed on a subset of cages, and 21% were positive for adult mites or viable eggs. Mites were sent for sequencing and identified as R. lemnina, for which the natural host is Microtus pennsylvanicus. The entire colony was treated with selamectin, applied topically to the nape of the neck, and repeated one month later. All deer mice were successfully treated using a novel method of restraint, and no gross adverse reactions to selamectin treatment were noted. Tape tests were performed weekly to biweekly on a subset of deer mice, and PCR was used to confirm negative tape test results. PCR was positive at 14 wk posttreatment, and tape tests were intermittently positive for egg casings for 27 wk, indicating continued presence of genetic material but not necessarily an active infection. Weaned offspring were tape test and/or PCR negative at 12 and 21 wk posttreatment, providing further support for successful treatment. At 31 wk, 2 rounds of tape tests and PCR were both negative. This report documents a safe and effective treatment method for mites in P. californicus.
Análisis bibliométrico de las revistas científicas de Psicología latinoamericanas a través del portal Scimago
Authors: Vizioli Nicolás Alejandro
Published: September 2024

La constitución del inglés como idioma predilecto para las publicaciones científicas ha provocado que las revistas científicas de idioma inglés tuvieran más citaciones y fueran mejor valoradas que las de otros idiomas, de manera que los investigadores en muchos casos deben optar por escribir en una lengua que no corresponde a su región para dar a conocer su trabajo. La presente investigación se propuso realizar un análisis bibliométrico de las revistas científicas de Psicología en América Latina, a través del portal Scimago, teniendo en cuenta el cuartil de pertenencia a partir del indicador SJR. Mediante un estudio, un diseño bibliométrico retrospectivo ex post facto, halló que las revistas latinoamericanas representan un 3,52% de las indexadas en Scopus (n= 1336). El 80,85% se ubican en el cuartil 4, mientras que el 19,15% en el 3. El 85,11% de las revistas latinoamericanas son de acceso abierto. En Latinoamérica, Brasil es el país con mayor cobertura y rendimiento. En líneas generales, los resultados muestran que, aunque la cobertura es menor respecto de otras regiones, las publicaciones de América Latina, en su mayoría, son de acceso abierto y permiten obtener información rápidamente.

Предмет. Представлено вирішення питання інтенсифікації процесу екстракції біологічно-активних речовин (БАР) з сумішей цілісної та розмеленої насіннєвої сировини на прикладі насіння льону та екструдату бобів сої. Зроблено аналіз сучасних перспективних методів екстракції БАР з рослинної сировини, переваг і недоліків апаратів реалізації способів впливу на сировину. Запропоновано для оптимізації процесу екстракції експериментальні дослідження провести в пульсаційних диспергаторах ударного та кавітаційного типу, розроблених в ІТТФ НАН України, в яких реалізується метод дискретно-імпульсного введення енергії (ДІВЕ). Мета роботи полягає у вивченні закономірностей впливу механізмів ДІВЕ на фізико-хімічні та структурно-механічні властивості насіння олійних і зернобобових культур при обробці в пульсаційних апаратах. Методи. В ході проведення експериметальних досліджень в одержаних екстрактах визначено фізико-хімічні властивості: вміст сухих речовин, кількість білка. Реологічні властивості отриманих сумішей експериментально досліджено на ротаційному віскозиметрі. Мікроструктуру зразків до обробки в апаратах і зразків, отриманих протягом обробки з періодичним відбором проб, досліджено на світловому мікроскопі. Результати. В результаті експериментальних досліджень встановлено, що кавітаційний механізм є найенергоефективнішим і раціональнішим способом впливу на обробку насіння олійних і зернобобових культур. Для цілого та розмеленого насіння льону, екструдату бобів сої показники кількості виходу сухих речовин після екстракції в диспергаторі кавітаційного типу вищі, ніж у диспергаторі ударного типу на 2 %; 7,5 %; 5,8 %. відповідно. Вихід білка з цілого та розмеленого насіння льону після обробки у кавітаційному диспергаторі також вищий приблизно на 2 % і залежить від тривалості обробки, що максимально становить 10 хв. Встановлено, що для отриманих рідинних сумішей цілого і розмеленого насіння льону характерні властивості псевдопластичної рідини. У всіх сумішах проявляється неньютонівский характер в’язкості більш чітко зі збільшенням тривалості обробки. Сфера застосування результатів. Результати проведених досліджень можуть використовуватись у технологіях переробки насіння олійних і зернобобових культур з максимальним збереженням термолабільних біоактивних компонентів.

Предмет. Зздатність гідроксиду алюмінію в нанорозмірному стані очистити дифузійний сік від нецукрів без проведення вапнокарбонізаційного очищення. Мета. Дослідження способу застосування та ефективність очищення дифузійного соку. Методи. Фізико-хімічний, мікроскопічний  та аналітичний. Результати. Ідентифікація гідроксиду алюмінію шляхом електронної мікроскопії засвідчила, що тверда фаза представлена частинками пірамідальної форми, це характерно для моноклінної кристалічної системи гідроаргіліту – гідроксиду алюмінію. В дифузійному соці гідроксид алюмінію змінює форму під впливом нецукрів, адсорбуючи їх та зв´язуючи в щільний комплекс. Як показали дослідження, наявність в дифузійному соці залишків антисептичних засобів має вплив на структуру гідроксиду алюмінію, утворюючи більш щільну й компактну структуру осаду. Водночас, дослідження показали, що кількість введеного гідроксиду алюмінію різнопланово впливає на якість дифузійного соку. При введенні гідроксиду алюмінію в кількості 0,2% до маси дифузійного соку покращується чистота соку, а ефект очищення становить 13,3%. За оброблення дифузійного соку гідроксидом алюмінію спостерігали утворення осаду світло-сірого кольору з темними прошарками. Показано, що осад утворюється більш інтенсивно залежно від кількості гідроксиду алюмінію в соці, найбільш компактно і щільно  при його введеній кількості 0,2% до маси дифузійного соку. Доведено, що застосування коагулянту є більш ефективним, ніж активне вугілля, яке швидко заповнюються нецукрами. Крім того, дрібнодисперсна фаза вугілля залишається в соці навіть після відфільтровування, що ускладнює процес очищення отриманого соку. Сфера застосування результатів. Харчова промисловість, а саме цукрова галузь.

Authors: Zain R. Dedy Chairil , Suhariadi Fendy , U Sendy Ayu Mitra
Published: September 2024

Surabaya Class I Special TPI Immigration Office won the title of Integrity Zone (ZI) in 2018, Corruption Free Zone (WBK) in 2019, and Clean and Serving Bureaucratic Area (WBBM) in 2020. This WBBM predicate has also been maintained twice. Problems arise with persistently maintaining the title amid current technological developments that require leaders to be creative and innovative while maintaining existing policies. For this reason, an alternative solution is to implement ambidextrous leadership. This research aims to identify the implementation of ambidextrous leadership in a case study at the Surabaya TPI Special Class I Immigration Office. The research method used is qualitative. Data was collected by semi-structured interviews with 50 respondents at the executive level in the general, analyst, and examiner sections. Data analysis used thematic techniques, such as classifying data into several sections and then generalizing to get a comprehensive picture. The results showed that ambidextrous leadership was identified in three areas of bureaucratic reform, namely (1) the management area, (2) the HR management system, and (3) the area of improving the quality of public services.
Legal Transformation for the Achievement of SDGs: Integration of Multidisciplinary Approaches towards 2030
Authors: Aptasari Ariesca Dwi
Published: September 2024

This research aims to investigate and analyze the transformation of law in an effort to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the integration of a multidisciplinary approach. Along with dynamic global changes, the challenges in achieving the SDGs require innovative and adaptive legal strategies. This dissertation focuses on two main problem formulations: first, how the integration of multidisciplinary approaches in legal reform can support the achievement of SDGs; second, how the evaluation and monitoring of legal policies implemented can ensure the achievement of SDGs targets. Through literature review and case analysis, this research reveals that incorporating various disciplines-such as economics, sociology, environmental science, and politics-in the legal policy-making process is key to creating comprehensive and responsive regulations. A multidisciplinary approach not only broadens perspectives in the legal field, but also ensures that the resulting policies are able to address the complexity of sustainable development issues. The research further proposes that an effective evaluation and monitoring system is an essential element to ensure legal policies can be optimally implemented and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. Suggested measures include the development of relevant performance indicators, stakeholder engagement, and the use of information technology to increase transparency and accountability. With this approach, it is expected that legal reform can adapt to changing conditions and make a positive contribution to the achievement of sustainable development goals, creating a more inclusive and sustainable future for all. This research makes important theoretical and practical contributions to the development of legal policies that are in line with the global agenda for sustainable development.
From Womb to World: Immunological Pathways Influencing Stunting and 2030 Sustainability
Authors: Yuliastri Nunuk
Published: September 2024

Stunting affects 150 million children globally, indicating an existing inequality in nutrition and health; despite focusing on nutrient deficiencies, the immunological continuum from prenatal to postnatal needs to be better described. This study synthesized the literature analyzing the role of immune functions in stunting from prenatal to early childhood and its implications for the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The database search was performed on PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The objective of the current narrative review was to determine immunological factors and stunting using peer-reviewed English research published from 2000 to 2024. The review also reveals that stunting is a complex process involving immune and nutritional factors, but the significant determinants of growth are prenatal immune priming and early-life infection. Some findings are related to the knowledge of the interrelation between nutritional deficiencies and immune system dysfunctions, cytokine patterns, and gut microbiota dynamics. Thus, this study provides a general definition of stunting and recommends additional research in immunology and the need for public health measures involving nutritional and immunological interventions. The assessment provides recommendations for preventing stunting and ensures that the actions are aligned with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals for improving children’s well-being.

Career development tends to be understood more in people who are already working, so the definition that appears is more suitable to describe the situation. However, career development is closely related to the period when individuals are in their study period, especially when studying in college. In addition, career development can also be interpreted as an intervention program that can be conducted in schools through a curriculum or counseling program to enhance individuals’ ability to determine their careers. The paper systematically reviewed research on career development. Through this systematic review, it is hoped that it will be possible to identify the research gap on career development and strive to make a theoretical contribution to the development of the concept of career development. The method used is a systematic literature review. This paper is based on articles that have been published between 2019 and 2023, but also pays attention to literature that has a high number of citations as references found through scopus.com. The findings show that career development can be interpreted in three ways. Career development as a perspective oriented to the development of the career paradigm itself, the second is related to the programs implemented by the organization to improve performance, and the third is the concept of the career itself as a variable. On the other hand, findings on psychological factors have a significant role in influencing a person’s career development. Limitations. The description in this article only focuses on one database, namely, scopus.com. Future research should ideally look for references in other databases to provide broader information about career development.
