Published: August 2023

Numerical simulation of the inhomogeneous medium elements appears to be one of the current trends in the continuum mechanics. Approaches based on combined application of the non-destructive testing and numerical simulation methods were significantly developed. The paper proposes a technique for numerical simulation of the porous structure elements based on their computer tomography. Calculations were carried out by the finite element method using the eight-node isoparametric finite element of the continuous medium with linear approximation of the geometric parameters and the displacement field. Stiffness matrix of each finite element was integrated by using the weight function; its values corresponded to the material permeability in the current microelement volume. A static calculation technique for the porous structure elements is described based on the material spatial distribution. Simulation was carried out on the example of samples of the pygmy pigs bone organs. The tests corresponded to a three-point bend. Computational grids were constructed by filtering at the threshold value that set fraction of the elastic material content in the volume. Numerical calculations made it possible to determine the displacement field and the stress-strain state. Data reliability was established on the basis of the energy distribution error over the voltages. Results were validated according to the full-scale experiment data. The relative error was of 3...10%; therefore, simulation described the sample mechanical destruction with sufficient degree of reliability. The proposed technique demonstrated its efficiency in solving the problem of describing behavior of the inhomogeneous media elements exposed to the external loads both due to high performance at the numerical model construction stage, and due to excluding the need to accurately restore the sample computational domain.

Published: August 2023

Los Planes de Ordenamiento Territorial son pactos sociales entre habitantes de un territorio que, posteriormente, se recoge en un instrumento técnico-normativo de planeación y gestión de largo plazo, que orienta el desarrollo del territorio, y regula la utilización, ocupación y transformación del espacio físico, urbano y rural.A pesar de cumplir una función pública y compleja, aún no ha sido implementada de forma total y completa en el mundo, y tampoco, en el Perú. Es por ello que requiere apoyo constante de instrumentos jurídicos y la participación desde diversas áreas del conocimiento para equilibrar las necesidades y consideraciones específicas que permitirán otorgarle una mejor definición y determinar un mejor uso para cada espacio.Siendo así, esta herramienta debe ser abordada desde la sostenibilidad, no como una barrera irracional al desarrollo ni la inversión privada o pública, generándose restricciones en su utilización por la emisión de normas legales contradictorias.

Published: August 2023

Background: Water is the most important environmental factor for sustainability of rice production. Traditionally rice was cultivated by continuous flooding. Due to global climate change and rapid industrialization and urbanization, the amount of water utilised for agriculture is declining which increases the water scarcity for irrigated rice production. Methods: The present experiment was carried out during Kuruvai (July-November) 2022 at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. Experiments were carried out with five treatments viz., T1- 100 % Saturation under drip irrigation, T2 – 150 % Saturation under drip irrigation T3 – 200 % Saturation under drip irrigation, T4 – System of Rice Intensification (SRI), T5 – Conventional method. Result: Results of the experiment showed that growth parameters was higher in SRI method and this was on par with conventinal method. SRI method recorded significantly higher yield parameters and grain yield. From the above results, it can be concluded that. SRI method performed well compared to different method of cultivation due to the synergistic effects of various cultivation principles followed in this method.

Published: August 2023

Palaeobotanical investigations were conducted on plant macrofossils obtained from the Middle Siwalik sediments of Sarkaghat, Mandi District, Himachal Pradesh, India as part of this current communication. This study discovered the existence of two previously unknownfossil species that correspond to the taxa that are now living, Lagerstroemia Linn. and Millettia Wight & Arn. of the families Lythraceae and Fabaceae, respectively. These modern comparable taxa of the macrofossils reported here are distributed in the tropical evergreen tomoist deciduous forests of the south-east Asian region which may suggest that tropical forests under moist conditions were prevalent during the Upper Miocene times in this region in contrast to mixed deciduous forest under the reduced precipitation at present. It alsoindicates the prevalence of a humid tropical climate during the Miocene in the Sarkaghat area.

Anaemia is still common in India, and its prevalence has increased across all age groups. The prevalence of anaemia has increased by 2–9% among infants, pregnant and non-pregnant women, and men, according to data from the National Family Health Survey 5 (NFHS-5)released on November 24, 2021. For over 2000 years, the Unani system of Medicine (USM) a unique and comprehensive medical system, has ruled in terms of theory and practise. Its beliefs and practises differ from western medicine and may not be completely associatedwith it, but they are still significant because they are well-considered, comprehensive, and advocate for a holistic approach to health care. The data was collected from 17 ancient Unani books, the Indian Pharmacopoeia of Unani, and other manuscripts. Unani systemrecommends specific diet and Unani drugs for the prevention and intervention of Anaemia.
GAMIFICATION ELEMENTS AND ENGAGEMENT: exploring students’ perception in an English reading course
Authors: Ramos Samantha Gonçalves Mancini , Ferreira Rafael Alves
Published: August 2023

Gamification has been widely employed as a pedagogical tool for fostering interaction and learning in class, including in foreign language teaching contexts. The gamification process may modify the structure or the content of a course with the use of specific strategies, such as the attribution of points and acknowledgements, ranking systems, storytelling, and others. Still, there is a lack of formal methodological procedures on how to design such strategies, as well as how they affect the engagement of students. As an attempt to expand the studies on the use of gamification as a pedagogical tool, this research aims at identifying which elements are likely to promote or limit engagement opportunities in class according to the student’s perception. Data was generated through a questionnaire, which was applied on a remote instrumental reading course, and components of quantitative and qualitative research were used to analyze responses to open-ended and Likert-scale questions. The results indicate positive and challenging aspects of certain gamification elements. High importance was attributed to elements that provided task guidance and content feedback, fostered decision-making opportunities towards content, and created moments for interaction with the environment and peers. Elements that appeared to limit engagement were related to individual collaboration in group work, content complexity regarding the target language, introduction of new digital tools and systems, and personal topics of interest; accordingly, these items require careful implementation.

El monitoreo de la calidad educativa como pilar para la buena Gestión de Proyectos en futuros profesionales en ingeniería
Authors: Cruz-Zuñiga Nidia
Published: August 2023

La calidad siempre debería estar presente en la gestión de proyectos en ingeniería, pero para que los futuros profesionales puedan interiorizar el concepto de calidad en todo lo que hacen se requiere que desde su formación el tema haya sido un eje transversal en su proceso de aprendizaje. Los procesos de autoevaluación y acreditación de las carreras buscan asegurar una calidad mínima en la educación profesional de los futuros graduados, y con esto influir en las competencias profesionales que puedan desarrollar. En las últimas décadas las agencias acreditadoras de carreras de ingeniería a nivel mundial han impulsado la necesidad de evaluar los atributos de egreso en las personas que se gradúan de carreras de ingeniería como un paso previo a garantizar las competencias deseadas en la persona profesional, lo que también está directamente relacionado con el aseguramiento de la calidad de la educación superior en estas disciplinas. Enlazar los hallazgos de estos procesos de evaluación con las reformas curriculares resulta un insumo clave para mejorar el desarrollo de las carreras y de los procesos de enseñanza – aprendizaje con el estudiantado, en especial en algunos atributos clave para la buena gestión de proyectos como los son: la comunicación oral y escrita, el trabajo en equipo, la resolución de problemas, entre otros.  El presente trabajo expone el caso de la Licenciatura en Ingeniería Civil de la Universidad de Costa Rica, donde se aborda la metodología integral que se aplicó para llevar a cabo una reforma curricular que contemplara la necesidad de evidenciar los atributos de egreso y los retos de la acreditación con miras a la mejora del programa, enlazado en cómo esto se espera que contribuya con las destrezas de las futuras personas ingenieras en la ejecución de proyectos de ingeniería.

THE NOWICKI CONJECTURE FOR BICOMMUTATIVE ALGEBRAS
Authors: FINDIK Şehmus
Published: August 2023

Let K be a field of characteristic zero, and K[Xn,Yn ] be the commutative associative unitary polynomial algebra of rank 2n generated by the set Xn∪Yn={x1,…,xn,y1,…,yn }. It is well known that the algebra K[Xn,Yn ]^δ of constants of the locally nilpotent linear derivation δ of K[Xn,Yn ] sending yi to xi, and xi to 0, is generated by x1,…,xn and the determinants of the form xi yj-xj yi; that was first conjectured by Nowicki in 1994, and later proved by several authors. Bicommutative algebras are nonassociative noncommutative algebras satisfying the identities (xy)z=(xz)y and x(yz)=y(xz). In this study, we work in the 2n generated free bicommutative algebra as a noncommutative nonassociative analogue of the Nowicki conjecture, and find the generators of the algebra of constants in this algebra.
Goethes Privatbibliothek im Spiegel der Italienischen Reise : Ausgewählte Quellen im Schreibprozess
Authors: Wegner Kimberley
Published: August 2023

Die Privatbibliothek von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) ist eine der bedeutendsten Autorenbibliotheken der deutschen Literatur, die bei seinen relevanten literarischen Projekten ein essenzielles Arbeitsmittel war und reichhaltiges Quellenmaterial zur Kontextualisierung seiner Werke beinhaltet. Dennoch blieben dezidierte wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum umfangreichen Korpus weitestgehend aus. Dies verwundert, weil die historischen Exemplare mit nonverbalen und verbalen Lesespuren wie Marginalien und An- und Unterstreichungen versehen sind, die zeigen, wie Goethe mit den Büchern gearbeitet hat und entschleiern, was im fertigen Text zunächst verborgen bleibt. Das Thema bietet reichlich unausgeschöpftes Bearbeitungspotenzial, weshalb im Fokus dieser Forschung die Untersuchung von Lesespuren in ausgewählten Werken von Goethes privater Büchersammlung steht, die zuvor nicht unter den Gesichtspunkten sowie in diesem Ausmaß analysiert wurden. Besonders die Entstehung der Italienischen Reise lässt sich mit Hilfe der Bücher aus Goethes Privatbibliothek nachvollziehen, denn beim Verfassen des Textes wurde Goethe durch andere Bücher aus seiner Bibliothek beeinflusst, in denen sich Lesespuren befinden. Beim literarischen Produktionsprozess waren insbesondere die Reiseberichte Historisch-kritische Nachrichten von Italien von Johann Jacob Volkmann (1732–1803) und Voyage en Sicile et dans la grande Grèce von Johann Hermann Riedesel (1740–1785) elementar. Sie stechen aus der Masse der Bücher von Goethes Privatbibliothek heraus, weil sie diverse Lesespuren enthalten, die Indizien über den literarischen Produktionszyklus der Italienischen Reise liefern. Anhand der Analyse, Interpretation sowie Kontextualisierung der Lesespuren soll untersucht werden, ob bei dem Reisebericht ein Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Authentizität und literarischem Konstrukt vorliegt und inwieweit die Privatbibliothek Goethes als ein Spiegel der Italienischen Reise fungiert.
The role of inflammatory parameters in the management of cases with atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesions of undetermined significance
Authors: SÜLEYMAN Marlen , BEZİRCİ Rıfat
Published: August 2023

AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the potential of hematologic parameters and markers such as neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) to predict the risk of malignancy in patients whose biopsy results were classified as Atypia of Undetermined Significance/Follicular Lesion of Undetermined Significance (AUS/FLUS).

MATERIAL AND METHOD: A total of 188 patients who underwent thyroidectomy at a General Surgery clinic were included in the study. Hematological parameters, including neutrophil count, platelet count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, and mean platelet volume (MPV) were collected from the hospital database. NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, and SIRI were calculated. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS v25.

RESULTS: 38 patient (20.21%) were male and 150 patients (79.79 %) were female. The mean age was 48.6 (range 23-79, standard deviation (SD) ± 12.41years). Histopathological examination of the thyroidectomy specimens revealed benign findings in 102 patients (54.3%) and malignant findings in 86 patients (45.7%). The mean age of the malignant group was 45.6, while that of the benign group was 51.1 (p = 0.02). The median tumor size was 17 mm in the malignant group and 21 mm in the benign group (p =0.042). Mean neutrophil count were 4.29 ± 1.0 × 109/L in the benign group and 4.69 ± 1.9 × 109/L in malignant group, respectively (p = 0.031). NLR values were calculated as 1.89 for the benign group and 1.99 for the malignant group (p = 0.045). SII values were higher in the malignant group, with a median value of 584.11× 109/L in the malignant group, median value were 504.63× 109/L in the benign group (p=0.037).

Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that both age (odds ratio (OR) = 0.964; 95% confidence interval (CI)= (0.939 – 0.989); p = 0.05) and neutrophil count (odds ratio (OR) = 1.598; 95% confidence interval (CI)= (1.118 – 2.285); p = 0.01) had a significant impact on the differentiation between benign and malignant thyroid nodules.

CONCLUSION: Age and neutrophil count were identified as independent risk factors for malignant thyroid nodules. Among patients with Bethesda Category III thyroid nodules, those under 59.5 years of age and with a neutrophil count above 4.16 x 10^9/L have an increased risk for thyroid malignancy.

Platelet count, monocyte count, MPV and inflammatory parameters, such as PLR, MLR, and SIRI, were insufficient for detecting malignancy in Bethesda III nodules. In this group, young age, small nodule size, high neutrophil count, NLR, and SII were identified as risk factors for malignancy. The Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) characteristics of nodules should also be considered in the management of these patients.
Regulatory measures when implementing a new medical device into the cosmetic surgery industry. A case example: Macrolane
Authors: Selvaggi Gennaro , Elander Anna
Published: August 2023

Over the past two decades, the cosmetic surgery industry has experienced significant global growth. This expansion has piqued the interest of healthcare professionals and product manufacturers, both aiming to enhance accessibility to surgery for a broader demographic.

This manuscript presents the case example of “macrolane” hyaluronic acid. This product was introduced into the cosmetic surgery industry in 2007 and then removed from the market in 2012 by the manufacturer. The manuscript also presents and discusses the regulatory measures that were enacted following the introduction of macrolane into the European market.

Specifically, these regulatory measures involved: insurance, professional qualifications and training, clinician representatives, sanitation, safety, cooling-off periods, informed consent, and advertising. Within the manuscript, it is also highlighted that interests from different stakeholders can create tension in the cosmetic industry, specifically: 1. clients might ask for a product, and they need to be protected; 2. healthcare providers are seeking a profit, and are subject to liability; 3. product’s manufacturers, who are seeking to expand their market, need to pass through regulatory processes.

In conclusion, we wish to raise awareness of the ethical issues related to the regulatory measures implemented by European regulatory agencies responsible for public health, especially during the launch of a new product. These ethical considerations encompass several aspects: establishing accountability for validating research authenticity, delineating the functions of compensatory systems, overseeing educational processes, and supervising advertising and marketing practices. It should be noted that the comprehensive exploration of these ethical matters falls outside the scope of this manuscript, as they pertain more to public affairs rather than the realm of cosmetic surgery itself. Therefore, the discourse on these matters is better suited for engagement by experts in political and social ethics.

Level of Evidence: Level V, analysis of current regulatory practices.

Towards Islamic Maqasidi Education Philosophy For Sustainable Development: Quranic Perspective With Special Attention To Indonesia
Authors: Moneim Aly Abdel
Published: August 2023

Maqasid are the ultimate ends of life (worldly and afterlife) from Islamic perspective. This article tries to extract those Maqasid from the Sublime Quran. The effort done here constitutes the philosophical base needed for grand project interested in comprehend, criticize and transcend Sustainable Development (SD); the mainstream discourse in nowadays development policies, especially education development policies. Maqasid, as philosophy, offer an integrated mode of Islamic-based sustainable development, which can be applied in many field of SD. Ontologically, Maqasid propose systematic view of the universe that gathers the Creator and the creature, and gathers natural, psychological, social and man-made environments. In this regard, Maqasid propose an integrated network of relations among elements of universe system it propose, like ʻibādah, ʻimārah, tazkiyah, khilāfah, and istikhdām maqaṣidī. Epistemologically, Maqasid suggest a signs-based, systematic, developmental, purified and Arabic proof base for the ontological and axiological theses suggested. Axiologically, Maqasid introduce three principle values that govern all relations within Maqasidi system, namely truth, balance, and dynamic-based rights (al-ḥaq), patience (al-ṣabr) and mercy (al-marḥamah). The central domain of Islamic-based Sustainable Development (ISD) is the epistemological one, where Muslim is asked to make knowledge for sustainability based on signs, radical-encompassing (systematic) collection and operation of signs, developmental and purified signs and Arabic conception. ISD has many applications, one of them is its applications into education development planning, where standards of competencies and content are redefined, mainly, based on Makasid ontological model and standards of process are redefined, mainly, based on Makasid epistemological and axiological model.
Etika Politik Ulama

Setiap kali perhelatan politik digelar para ulama dan tokoh agama ikut sibuk menjadi corong para politisi dan kandidat atau pasangan calon tertentu. Bahkan tidak sedikit para tokoh agama dan ulama ikut terjun langsung menjadi pasangan calon untuk bersaing dengan tokoh-tokoh atau kanddat lain dalam meraih kekuasaan.Fenomena pasangan calon dari kelompok ulama dan tokoh agama sudah menjadi trend dan menggurita pasca rontoknya rezim orde baru yang menandakan bukanya kembali keran demokrasi di Indonesia yang sekian lama mati suri. Sejak itu, lantaran ada peluang dan kesempatan untuk menjadi politisi atau birokrasi banyak tokoh agama dan para ulama yang terlibat dalam politik praktis. Ada tokoh agama dan ulama yang memilih menjaga jarak dengan dunia politik dan kekuasaan. Ulama golongan ini lebih memilih mengurusi umat, pemberdayaan warga dan menjauh dari hingar bingar dunia politik praktis. Namun ulama seperti ini bukan berarti mereka tidak berpolitik. Mereka berpolitik menggunakan mekanisme dan cara, strategi dan taktik dan tujuan yang berbeda dengan “ulama politik” yaitu ulama yang secara terang-terangan terjun dalam dunia politik praktis.

Metacognitive awareness has a significant and complex correlation with cognitive learning outcomes. So far, there have not been many studies investigating the correlation between metacognitive awareness and cognitive learning outcomes based on gender. This research aimed at determining the correlation between metacognitive awareness and cognitive learning outcomes based on the gender of biology education students. The samples of this research were biology education students in the third semester of 2020/2021 academic year. The research samples comprised 104 students consisting of 47 male students and 57 female students. The research instruments were used to collect the data of students’ metacognitive awareness and cognitive learning outcomes. The results of this research showed that metacognitive awareness had a significant correlation with cognitive learning outcomes both in male students and female students. Metacognitive awareness contributed 66.5% towards the cognitive learning outcomes of male students. This number was greater than that in female students, which was only 39.40%. The results of the ANOVA test showed that the correlation between metacognitive awareness and cognitive learning outcomes in male students and in female students was not parallel and not coincide. The results of this research are expected to have effective contributions for educators to continually improve the achievement of learning objectives that emphasize on the development of metacognition and cognition in order to produce competent and quality graduates

The influence of gender on science and genetic literacy emerges as a compelling issue within the realm of scientific education, prompting an exploration within the confines of a high school located in the Malang district. This quantitative investigation is designed to ascertain the gender-based influence on both science literacy and genetic literacy among students at a Senior High School within the Malang District. The study encompasses three distinct clusters of participants: the first cluster comprises 12 male students and 22 female students from the first-grade level, the second cluster consists of 9 male students and 22 female students from the second-grade level, and the final cluster comprises 10 male students and 19 female students from the third-grade level, amounting to a total of 94 students. The administration of science literacy and genetic literacy instruments was conducted through Google Forms, allowing the researchers to collect the necessary data. Subsequently, the accumulated data will undergo rigorous analytical scrutiny employing the One-Way ANOVA test. The outcomes of the analysis revealed a lack of statistically significant disparity in science literacy across genders [F(1.92)=0.102, p=0.750], as well as a non-significant difference in genetic literacy attributed to gender variations [F(1.92) =0.773, p=0.382]. In light of these findings, the implications for educational policies and interventions are discussed to enhance pedagogical practices and learning outcomes for both male and female students.
