Food Neophobia: Explored and Unexplored Terrains
Authors: Subramaniam Anusuiya , Muthusamy Geetha
Published: October 2024

Food neophobia is being regarded as an individuals’ reluctance to try unfamiliar or novel food and consequently the inclination to stay away from it. In addition, unfavorable taste, odor and appearance of novel foods signifies the definition of neophobia. Since research pertaining to food neophobia is limited, review is aimed at exposing the disparity in research on past, current and future trends pertaining to research on food neophobia. Studies on food neophobia are essential as food neophobia has impact on food preferences. Understanding the factors influencing food preferences is vital for implementing and promoting positive changes in the food habits of any society. The identification and compilation of all food neophobia-related publications covered publications produced between 2010 and 2020. Articles were selected from the three most prominent and popular online databases/search engines, namely 1) EBSCOHost (http://search.ebscohost. com), 2) Science Direct (http://www.sciencedirect.com), and 3) Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com). Based on the results, a thorough analysis was achieved concerning the following: (1) theory pertaining to food neophobia, (2) measures of food neophobia, (3) importance of research pertaining to food neophobia, (4) researches on food neophobia, and (5) directions for future research on food neophobia. The study concerning food neophobia is essential as food neophobia influences food preferences. Understanding the factors prompting food preferences is crucial towards the implementation and promotion of positive changes in the food habits of any society. This study adds to the academia and industry by discovering several inadequacies in the existing studies and bestowing an outline for future research. Further studies are certainly imperative to empirically authenticate the concept of food neophobia through systematic investigations and devise a means to quantify it.

Published: October 2024

With technology development, investment tools also vary. Money and capital market instruments are at the forefront of these, and virtual currencies have become investment tools. Because virtual currencies are not religiously permissible by many organizations causes the devout people to stay away from them. This study investigates the return and volatility interaction between Islamic Indices and Bitcoin in Türkiye and Malaysia. The study uses weekly data for the period 24 November 2013 – 2 January 2022 obtained from investing.com. Multivariate Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC-GARCH) and multivariate dynamic stochastic volatility models were used to determine the volatility dispersion between Islamic indices and Bitcoin. Results show that the volatilities of Türkiye Islamic Index, Malaysia Hijrah Shariah Index and Bitcoin are permanent. Volatility of Bitcoin, however, has no effect on the return of the Türkiye Islamic Index and the Malaysian Hijrah Shariah Index. Likewise, the volatility of Islamic indices does not affect the return of Bitcoin. According to the results of the DC-MSV model, the volatility of Islamic indices and the volatility of Bitcoin do not affect each other. This indicates that Islamic index investors and Bitcoin investors differ.
Selecting the Best Theory to Explain the Formation of Different Universities Based on Sadra’s Philosophy
Authors: Babakhan Alireza , Shafia Mohammad Ali , Rafiei Atani Ata Allah , Aliahmadi Alireza
Published: October 2024

In recent years, the role of universities in the development of societies has increased. In Iran, as in other countries, universities have made changes to their programs, but it still seems they need some new policies to strengthen the impact of universities on the development of society. While explaining the reasons for the formation of existing universities at the international level, this article attempts to use the framework of Sadra's philosophy to present a new type of university called “wisdom-oriented” university. This university activates the four functions as follows: Graduate education, Development of technology and technical knowledge, Problem-solving and communicating with society (such as industry, government institutions, etc.), and Producing and disseminating of knowledge content. If the wisdom-based university is formed and institutionalized, the following characteristics could be expected: “Avoidance of particularity”, “attention to comprehensiveness and gradual shift to specialization”, “scientific moderation and attention to wisdom”, “fostering creativity, production and accumulation of knowledge content”, “duty-oriented interaction with society”, “unbounded activity”, “continuous effort to come closer to God” and “optimal use of science and technology.”
Relationship between Food Prices and Non-Raw Materials Input: VAR Analysis
Authors: Duru Sinan , Çelik Hüseyin , Hayran Seyit , Gül Aykut
Published: October 2024

Inflation is defined as the general increase in prices in the most general sense and is an important macroeconomic indicator. The increase in food prices is affected by the general inflation rate and it is an important indicator in determining the monetary policies implemented. In recent years, factors such as global crises, climate changes, foreign dependency in energy have sharpened the rises in national indicators. In this study, in Turkey, the effects of electricity-natural gas, Brent oil, dollar exchange rate and labor cost (minimum wage), which are the most important cost items in forming food prices, in the quarterly periods between 2003Q1-2022Q4 were analyzed. Vector Autoregression (VAR) model was used as the analysis method, the cointegration relationship between the variables can be accepted with a lagged value in the model and the error correction model is assumed to consist of an autoregressive distributed lag model. Literature review showed that external factors will affect food prices more as a hypothesis. According to the variance decomposition analysis results in the VAR model, the most important factors affecting food prices are exchange rate in the short run and Brent oil price in the long run. It has been observed that the minimum wage has the lowest effect. In the research, one limitation is that only factors such as electricity-natural gas, Brent oil, dollar exchange rate and labor cost were taken into account in evaluating impact on food prices, and other economic, social and climatic factors affecting agricultural production were not taken into account. In previous studies, the effects of factors such as electricity-natural gas, Brent oil price, dollar rate and labor cost on food prices were examined separately; this study contributes to determining which factor is more effective over the long and short term.

Acromegalia em felinos
Authors: Telles Bruna Souza , Mendes Patrícia Franciscone
Published: October 2024

Acromegaly in felines occurs mainly due to a pituitary adenoma of somatotropic cells, and presents slow and progressive evolution, responsible for increasing the production and secretion of growth hormones (GH). This condition is common in senile or adult male domestic cats, neutered and with short hair. The pathophysiology is due to the excessive release of GH in the adenohypophysis region, whose synthesis is regulated by growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and somatostatin, responsible for stimulating or inhibiting the secretory axis, respectively. The anabolic action of GH is responsible for increasing the secretion of IGF-1, which is mainly responsible for the clinical signs of acromegaly, such as body growth and organomegaly. The catabolic effect refers to insulin resistance. Clinical signs may be associated with secondary diabetes mellitus (DM), weight gain, exacerbated growth of various tissues and neurological signs as the tumor mass grows. The diagnosis of the disease can be performed through laboratory, imaging and endocrine tests such as the specific immunoassay for GH and/or insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Treatment is based on controlling the DM that develops secondary to it, as well as on attempts to reduce or even inhibit the excess release of GH. Treatment can be performed with somatostatin analogues and dopamine agonists. The use of stereotactic radiotherapy can also be recommended, with favorable results for tumor reduction, as well as the surgical technique of transsphenoidal hypophysectomy, which presents better results than other techniques but is a complex surgical procedure. This project aims to inform veterinarians of this endocrine disease and its main currently recognized diagnoses and treatments, emphasizing the need to establish a differential diagnosis for difficult-to-control DM.

Aim. To provide up-to-date data regarding the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and therapeutic approaches of EoE with a focus on childhood and adolescence. Key points. Current epidemiologic data indicate a steady increase in the incidence of EoE in pediatric populations in many countries around the world. The key role in the development of EoE is played by genetic factors, atopy and hypersensitivity to food antigens. Clinical manifestations of EoE in children are age-dependent and include eating disorders, vomiting, abdominal pain, dysphagia, and food sticking in the esophagus. Diagnosis of EoE is based on the combination of characteristic clinical symptoms and histologic picture of eosinophilic infiltration of esophageal mucosa, while excluding other causes of eosinophilia. The main directions of EoE therapy are dietary therapy with elimination of causative products, drug treatment with topical corticosteroids and endoscopic dilation of esophageal strictures. Conclusion. Further research is needed to better understand the molecular mechanisms of EoE, develop new diagnostic biomarkers, and optimize therapeutic approaches. Given the chronic recurrent course of EoE, long-term dynamic follow-up of patients by a multidisciplinary team of specialists is important to improve the quality of life and prevent complications. Keywords: eosinophilic esophagitis, children, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment.
Features of Thyroid Pathology in Patients with Down Syndrome

Aim. To demonstrate the prevalence and structure of thyroid diseases in children with Down syndrome (DS), and to analyze the features of their diagnosis and treatment. Key points. Thyroid gland pathology in DS includes congenital hypothyroidism (CH), subclinical hypothyroidism (SH), chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT), and diffuse toxic goiter (DTG). Thyroid diseases are more common and occur earlier in individuals with DS than in the general population; their presence is independent of gender. SH is identified in 7–40% of patients with DS, but progresses to overt hypothyroidism in less than half of the cases. Various clinical guidelines recommend that patients with DS should have their thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels monitored regularly, every 6–12 months, and, if necessary, their free thyroxine and thyroid peroxidase antibodies. The treatment of CH, CAT, and DTG in DS patients is the same as in patients without DS. Most researchers advocate against levothyroxine therapy for SH, as there is no evidence of benefit from early treatment, and elevated TSH levels are often mild and transient. Conclusion. The high prevalence and wide spectrum of thyroid pathology in patients with DS necessitate regular monitoring of hormone levels. The complexity of interpreting isolated TSH elevation can complicate treatment decisions. In recent years, a more justified strategy of “watchful waiting” along with more frequent laboratory tests has become more prevalent. Keywords: Down syndrome, congenital hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, autoimmune thyroiditis, diffuse toxic goiter (Graves disease).
Seizure-like Symptoms Induced by Hypomagnesemia in a Patient with Incomplete Small Bowel Obstruction; A Case Report
Authors: Weng Jiyan , Chen Wenjun , Zhu Mingjin
Published: October 2024

Background: Seizure-like symptoms are rare in older patients without brain damage. Small bowel obstruction is a common clinical disorder for older patients that can cause electrolyte disturbances and nutritional disorders. Hypomagnesemia is a frequently overlooked electrolyte disorder. Moreover, magnesium deficiency can lead to severe seizure-like symptoms. Case Report: An 85-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with weakness and slow movement. Shortly after hospitalization, he experienced incomplete small bowel obstruction; thus, parenteral nutrition and intravenous esomeprazole were administered. When intestinal obstruction was relieved, the patient suddenly experienced seizure-like symptoms three times, and 24-h electroencephalogram did not capture any epileptiform pattern. After excluding other causes, we considered serum magnesium deficiency as a diagnosis. Low serum magnesium levels were related to a shortage of absorption due to small bowel obstruction, excess excretion of renal dysfunction, and the use of proton pump inhibitor. However, the exact mechanism underlying the hypomagnesemia-induced seizure-like activity remained unclear. After adjusting the nutritional support and magnesium supplementation, the patient’s serum magnesium level returned to normal, and he was free of seizure-like activity. Conclusion: Hypomagnesemia is often asymptomatic, but it can lead to severe seizure-like symptoms. It is important to pay attention to the serum magnesium level and nutritional intake in patients with an incomplete small bowel obstruction.
The Effect of Soft Tissue Release at the Thoracolumbar Junction in a Patient with Bilateral Leg Symptoms: A Case Report
Authors: Rafsanjani DehQazi Hossein , Shahbaz Majid
Published: October 2024

Background: Manual therapists mostly see patients with bilateral leg symptoms. Pain, pins and needles, fatigue, heaviness, lower limb coldness, and loss of neurological conduction are the patients’ symptoms. It is hypothesized to be caused by the sympathetic nervous system. Few publications cover its pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Limited research has examined the consequences of soft tissue release at the thoracolumbar junction. This case describes STR in a patient with bilateral leg symptoms.Case Report: A 39-year-old female presented with bilateral leg symptoms, especially the left leg, with more intensity at night. The symptoms started without a clear cause almost two years ago. She had clear low back pain 2 years ago. The sacroiliac joint and neurologic tests were normal. The examiner found some stiffness in the hip joint range of motion and SLR, especially on the left side. The patient reported some stiffness during active lumbar ROM, especially in rotation to the right and flexion. Palpation revealed tenderness in the piriformis, biceps femoris, and gastrocnemius muscles and L5, especially on the left side, and hypomobility in the thoracolumbar junction. The patient has been treated for 10 sessions with a 6-week multimodal approach consisting of STR, the Garston technique, and electrical stimulation in the thoracolumbar junction. The patient was assessed four times. She had a significant decrement in the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), the Global Rating of Change Scales (GRC), and the Beck Anxiety Index following the interventions. She could do her personal activities and would sleep without the sedative.Conclusion: T10 to L2 supply lower extremity sympathetic nerve fibers. This case study demonstrates that these treatments could help these clinical presentations. Interventions with STR need more research. Therapists should evaluate the thoracolumbar junction and SNS in individuals with bilateral leg symptoms without a dermatomal pattern.

Authors: Haroon Muhammad Hamza , Ahmad Izhar
Published: October 2024

Since, the 20th century, corporate social responsibility(CSR), an essential idea, has grown in the global economy. Its quick development, spread in various nations. CSR is also important in emerging nations like Pakistan. Numerous studies linked CSR to both financial and non-financial corporate profitability. The present study also checks the link, if any, between CSR aspects and profitability. CSR characteristics are independent and profitability-dependent variables. Profitability, annual turnover sales, and earnings per share were employed. The data was processed using panel data analysis and cross-sectional data. Factor Analysis(FA),Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA),and Simple Linear Regression Model(SLRM)check the dependent-independent relationship. Based on the Housman test, FEM and SEM were used to analyze panel data. The results show that CSR boosts EPS and annual turnover sales. It appears that Companies with more CSR commitment have better EPS and ATS. Evidence also implies that size improves EPS and ATS and age reduces the influence of CSR.
“Hunting to die looking at the epoch...” (On the “Shakespeare Sonnet” by A. Voznesensky)
Authors: Fedotov Oleg I.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the epochal ambitions of Andrei Voznesensky, one of the most authoritative representatives of the Sixtiers, based on the material of his so-called “Shakespeare Sonnet”. The article considers the poet’s translation skills and estimates whether the analyzed poem can be considered a translation of sonnet 66 by W. Shakespeare and whether it is a sonnet in the proper sense. It turns out that the time concept “epoch”, along with its occasional synonym “era”, is represented very widely in Voznesensky’s vocabulary. Despite the fact that the poet turned to translation more than once, he never became a professional translator: his poetic personality was too vivid. Therefore, his translations were not even transcriptions, but rather original works written based on foreign-language poems, the texts of which he addressed in one way or another. “Shakespeare Sonnet”, written by him in 1983, is strikingly different from the traditional translations of the 66 sonnet underlying it. Voznesensky maximally authorized it both stylistically and structurally in terms of versification.

Published: October 2024

The studies were carried out on the territory of the Kindasovo forest-bog research station of the Karelian Research Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, located in the middle taiga subzone (61°48′ N, 33°35′ E). The experiments were carried out in the Nenazvannoe natural mesoeutrophic bog of the aapa type in seven permanent bog areas located in different ecological and coenotic conditions. The paper presents long-term results (from 10 to 38 years) of studies of the dynamics of annual growth of 11 widespread hygro- and hydrophilic species of Sphagnum mosses. Based on fluctuations in the average annual growth data during the years of study, the largest increases were observed for Sphagnum riparium (140 mm) and S. obtusum (93 mm), growing in heavily watered bog areas and not withstanding drying out; medium growths of S. fallax (65 mm), S. subsecundum (57 mm), S. majus (42 mm), S. balticum (36 mm), and S. warnstorfii (28 mm) are found in low-flow watered bogs, hollows, and on carpets; the lowest growth was shown for S. divinum (17 mm), S. centrale (15 mm), S. papillosum (12 mm), and S. fuscum (8 mm), growing on ridges, low hummocks, and carpets under conditions of sharply variable conditions hydration. A correlation analysis to study the influence of precipitation and average temperature on the annual growth of Sphagnum mosses did not show any significant dependence of moss growth on temperature during the growing season. For S. fuscum, S. obtusum, and S. warnstorfii, negative dependences on the temperature of individual months are observed in different months of the growing season. Precipitation during the growing season is the main factor determining the dependence of the annual growth of Sphagnum mosses. A significant dependence of annual growth on precipitation during the growing season was shown for species S. obtusum, S. papillosum, S. centrale, S. fallax, and S. subsecundum, while the significance was weak for S. divinum, S. fuscum, and S. majus.
Exact Solutions and Bounds for the Thermal Conductivity Coefficient of a Dispersed Medium
Authors: Boshenyatov В. V.
Published: October 2024

Exact solutions for the thermal conductivity coefficient of a two-phase dispersed medium are obtained using the most general physical principles of locality and symmetry. Two solutions define the well-known Hashin–Shtrikman bounds. The third solution, invariant under the phase inversion transformation, significantly narrows the Hashin–Shtrikman boundaries; this is confirmed by comparison with numerous experiments by other authors. It has been shown that taking into account the remote interaction of dispersed particles at their increased concentration only slightly (less than 3%) affects the result.

The efficiency of farmers' management significantly depends on the effective management of land capital. It has been established that the management of land capital of farms is a system that covers all social relations and generally determines the set of relationships between the elements of the management system aimed at the rational and environmentally responsible land use. The subsystems of land capital management of farms are economic, environmental, regulatory, administrative, innovation and management, and land management and technological. The structural model of the system of land capital management of farms includes the subject, object, subject matter, purpose, goals, principles, functions, methods and mechanisms of management. The subject of this system, i.e., the management subsystem, are farms and government authorities of all levels that implement the state land, agrarian and tax policies and supervise compliance with the norms of rational land use. The object of management is differentiated by the depth of the essential content of the definition of “land”, covering land and its fertility, land resources and their capitalization, land and its investment attractiveness, agricultural land (by type) and the efficiency of its usage. The economic interests of landowners, land users, the state, and society are the basis for making managerial decisions by a farmer. It has been shown that the system of land capital management of farms should be based on the following basic principles: systematicity; purposefulness; balance of interests of a farmer, landowners, the state and society in the use of land resources; payment for land use; sustainable development of agricultural land use; rationality and economic feasibility of land use; priority of land protection as the main means of production; responsibility and information. The functions of land capital management of farms include planning of land capital use; forecasting of land capital use in the short, medium and long term; organization of land capital use; motivation and control of rational use of land capital.

Published: October 2024

Background: Packaging is essential for food safety, as it acts as a barrier against contaminants that can cause spoilage and affect human health. The Armenian fermented dairy product, matsoun, is packaged not only in plastic and glass but also in clay pots. However, the impact of traditional packaging on the quality and safety of matsoun, especially heavy metal migration, remains under-researched. 
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of ceramic packaging material on the quality and safety of matsoun during storage. Specifically, it compared the physicochemical properties (pH, titratable acidity), lactic acid bacteria (LAB) populations, and metal migration during storage. 
Methods: Six samples of matsoun were prepared and packaged in sterilized glass and ceramic containers. The samples were stored at 4 °C and analyzed on days 1, 7, and 15 of storage. The parameters measured included pH, titratable acidity, and LAB counts (coccus and bacillus). Heavy metal migration (Cd, Pb, Hg, As) was analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy. 
Results: The pH of samples packaged in ceramic and glass containers decreased over 15 days of storage, from 4.61 to 4.24 and 4.6 to 4.27, respectively. Titratable acidity increased in both groups, reaching 1.2 % lactic acid. A decrease in bacilli was observed in ceramic-packaged matsoun. The lead concentration remained constant at 0.0045 ppm across all samples. In ceramic containers, cadmium concentration increased from 0.0015 ppm to 0.0029 ppm by day 15. 
Conclusion: This study observed a decrease in pH, an increase in titratable acidity, and a relatively constant number of lactic acid bacteria indicating ongoing fermentation. The results showed nondetectable concentrations of arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg). The lead (Pb) concentration in all samples remained within the World Health Organization’s (WHO) allowed limit of 0.02 ppm. However, the concentration of cadmium (Cd) concentration in ceramic-packed increased, exceeding the WHO limit of 0.002 ppm. Further research is necessary to identify the sources of cadmium contamination.

CONTACT OF AN ANISOTROPIC LAYER
WITH A RIGID PERIODICALLY CONVEX SURFACE
Authors: Pozharskii D.A. , Zolotov N.B.
Published: October 2024

By using Fourier integral transforms applied to integral equations, exact solutions are constructed for spatial problems of full contact of a transversely isotropic layer with a rigid doubly periodic sinusoidal surface. One layer face is subjected to sliding or rigid support, and isotropy planes are parallel to the layer faces. It is established that the full contact over the whole layer face is always possible except the degenerate case of isotropic incompressible layer with one face rigidly fixed. It is indicated that the full contact is also realizable for the case of isotropy planes perpendicular to the layer faces when one face is subjected to sliding support. The problems of partial contact are also considered for the transversely isotropic layer with a rigid surface relief of which is described by a doubly periodic function in the form of a system of paraboloids of revolution. On the base of the theory of generalized functions, the problems are reduced to integral equations kernels of which do not contain integrals. The complication of the problems of partial contact is that the contact domain is a priori unknown that leads us to additional inequalities and nonlinearities. With the help of the B.A. Galanov method, the system of the integral equation and inequality can be reduced to only one nonlinear integral equation for which the modified Newton numerical method can be applied. The exact solutions for the full contact are usable to check calculations. Contact domains and contact pressures are determined. Mechanical characteristics are calculated for the percolation process of initially discrete contact spots in the strengthening contact. Minimal settlements of the paraboloids of revolution are calculated to begin or complete percolation for an anisotropic material.

Published: October 2024

The results are presented with regard to experimental studies of dynamic strength characteristics of samples made of 12Cr18Ni10Ti steel powder. They were obtained through selective laser melting with various parameters of a technological process at shock-wave compression up to pressures of ~7 GPa. Critical parameters of a process, in addition to powder characteristics, include laser operating conditions: a laser spot diameter, laser power, a laser beam scanning velocity, as well as a powder layer thickness, protective atmosphere, etc. It has been demonstrated that an increase in the scan laser power and a decrease in a powder layer thickness bring about a decrease in a number of internal defects in initial structures of samples. The results are given, which compare strength characteristics of these steels with properties of steel produced by a traditional technique of hot rolling. Shock-wave experiments were carried out using a light gas gun-type facility, which makes it possible to accelerate flat impactors to speeds of ~700 m/s; internal wave processes in samples were reproduced when recording a rate of movement of the sample's free surface via a PDV laser interferometer; a degree of spall fracture was determined by the help of a metallographic analysis of samples recovered in tests.
It has been showed that steel samples made through a selective laser melting technique have high spall strength and a lower degree of damage compared to hot-rolled steel under the same conditions of high-speed shock loading. According to the results of the metallographic studies, the presence of internal defects in initial structures of samples associated with a choice of operating conditions of a manufacturing process does not affect a degree of their spall damage. At the same time, a wave pattern of shock wave propagation differs significantly for samples with and without defects.
EQUILIBRIUM OF A NORMALLY LOADED ELASTIC SHALLOW
CYLINDRICAL SHELL WITH DISLOCATIONS AND DISCLINATIONS
Authors: Peshkhoev I.M.
Published: October 2024

We consider the problem of the equilibrium of a normally loaded elastic shallow rectangular circular cylindrical shell, which contains sources of internal stress in the form of fields of continuously distributed edge dislocations and wedge disclinations or other sources, for example, thermal ones. Based on the modified system of Karman equations for the equilibrium of an elastic plate with dislocations and disclinations, a system of nonlinear equilibrium equations for the shell was constructed. The resulting system of equations differs from the Karman system of equilibrium equations for an elastic shallow cylindrical shell under the action of a normal load by the presence on the right side of the continuity equation of a nonzero function, called the incompatibility function, which is expressed through the densities of edge dislocations and wedge disclinations. The edges of the shell are freely clamped or hinged. In the absence of internal stress sources, this system transforms into a system of equilibrium equations for a shallow shell, and in the case of an infinitely large radius of curvature (and the presence of internal stress sources) into a modified system of Karman equilibrium equations for a flexible elastic plate with dislocations and disclinations. To solve the system of nonlinear shell equilibrium equations, the Newton – Kantorovich method in combination with the difference method is proposed. For the case of small values of the normal load and small values of the incompatibility function, linearization is carried out with respect to the deflection and stress function. As a result, a linear boundary value problem was obtained in the form of a system of differential equations for the deflection and the stress function, which is solved by the difference method. The solution of the linearized system is used as an initial approximation in the implementation of the Newton – Kantorovich method. Examples of numerical calculations of deflection and stress function for given values of normal load and incompatibility function are given, and corresponding graphs are constructed.

With the globalization of the economy, the challenges of financial risk management continue to grow, and the current traditional algorithms are often limited by the lack of search capability and diversity maintenance, which makes it difficult to predict as well as manage financial risks. Therefore, a multi-population multi-objective root system growth algorithm is proposed. The algorithm uses the plant root tip position and growth state as heuristic information to guide the search process. It also introduces adaptive search space to adjust the parameters, a multi-swarm strategies to enhance the exploration ability, and multi-objective optimization to adjust the weight balance among the objectives. The experimental results showed that in the single objective optimization function, the mean value of RSGA model was 5.80E-20, the standard deviation was 1.29E-19, the best position was 2.90E-26, and the worst position was 2.89E-19. In the biobjective optimization function, the average IGD of RSGA model was 2.28E-3. In the three-objective optimization function, the average IGD and HV of RSGA model were 1.05E-1 and 6.53E-1 respectively. In financial risk prediction, the best risk of RSGA model in small-scale investment was 0.1961, the worst risk was 0.2483, and the average risk was 0.2236. The best risk of medium-scale investment was 0.3057, the worst risk was 0.3387, and the average risk was 0.3194. In large-scale investment, the best risk was 0.191, the worst risk was 1.8795, and the standard deviation was 0.3769. Under MV portfolio, the maximum HV value of RSGA model was 1.13E-1, the minimum HV value was 4.20E-1, the average value was 8.74E-1, and the standard deviation was 5.46E-1. Under the RRC portfolio, the maximum HV of RSGA model was 1.49E-0, the minimum was 3.63E-1, the average was 8.17E-1, and the standard deviation was 3.95E-1.

Defending the country is not only an obligation, but also a right of every Indonesian citizen as regulated in Law No. 3 of 2002 concerning State Defense. Efforts to defend the country include various forms of positive contributions, both in physical and non-physical actions, made by citizens in their daily lives. In the context of globalization, the spirit of defending the country has become increasingly relevant to face various threats to the existence and sovereignty of the nation. The role of educational institutions, including Islamic boarding schools, is very significant in instilling the values of love for the homeland, national awareness, and willingness to sacrifice. In addition, religious harmony and dialogue between religious communities are needed to strengthen national solidarity. This article also emphasizes the importance of understanding and anticipating various threats, both from within and outside the country, as well as the active participation of citizens in national defense efforts through education, training, and social activities. With the spirit of defending the country manifested in concrete actions, it is hoped that the Republic of Indonesia can remain upright and be able to face all challenges in the future
