Purpose: To identify, evaluate and establish the relation of LOXL1 gene polymorphism among patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome in North West Rajasthan.
Methods: 50 patients diagnosed with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and 50 healthy subjects of age >40 years were enrolled in the study. All participants underwent routine ophthalmic examination. 2ml blood samples were taken of each participant which were sent to Multi Disciplinary Research Unit to be checked for specific gene mutation using Polymerase Chain Reaction technique.
Results and conclusion: Study showed that rs10486(G) SNP and rs21652(T) SNP has been present in general population also but is more prevalent in those with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. While, rs38259(G) SNP was found not to be a significant factor in development of pseudoexfoliation syndrome. Understanding the genetic basis of pseudoexfoliation syndrome would further contribute in aiding the early diagnosis and management of this disease.
A Comprehensive Framework for Integrating Robotics and Digital Twins in Façade Perforation
Authors: Ali Ahmed K.
Published: June 2024

In contemporary design practices, the conflict between initial design approaches and subsequent manufacturing and construction stages presents a notable challenge. To address this disparity, our study aims to establish a comprehensive digital design workflow, bridging these gaps. The authors introduce a conceptual framework that seamlessly integrates the imperatives of LEED with the realm of robotic manufacturing, specifically tailored for construction sites. The proposed methodology encompasses four distinct iFOBOT modules: iFOBOT-environment, iFOBOT-design, iFOBOT-construct, and iFOBOT-monitor. The integration of these modules allows for a holistic approach to design and construction, fostering efficient collaboration between multidisciplinary teams. To validate the efficacy of the author’s approach, we conducted an empirical study involving the creation of a double-skin facade panel perforation using this integrated process. Initial findings emphasize the enhanced constructability achieved through simulated robotic interventions utilizing a heuristic function. Moreover, this research presents a functional prototype as a tangible embodiment of the method’s practical application and potential impact on the field of architectural design and construction.

Social Awareness of Entrepreneurs Towards Product Halal Certificates
Authors: Darmadi Dandi , Imanuari Pertiwi Vidya , Reviandani Oktarizka
Published: June 2024

Food and beverage production are increasingly circulating, whether produced by large companies or small businesses. The public, as consumers, needs a guarantee of the hygiene and halalness of a product, so the Government requires a halal certificate that business actors must pocket before their products are sold. Of 479,621 new business units in East Java, 2,230 have halal certificates. The author's concern is analyzing business actors' social awareness toward halal certificates. The research was conducted with a qualitative approach, sourced from primary and secondary data. Data collection techniques are interviews, observation, and literature study. The study's results using the Social Awareness theory, which looked at the knowledge, attitude, and action aspects, found that business actors' knowledge of halal certificates and procedures was well established. However, in terms of attitudes and actions towards halal certificates, the products differed due to external factors, namely costs and management complexity. Business actors will be proactive if obtaining halal product certificates is carried out efficiently and at low costs. Even producers admit they want to avoid taking care of if they have to use personal costs. Another factor that supports the social awareness of business actors is the assistance of facilities from the Surabaya city government through the Department of Trade, both technical assistance and costs.

The open question whether quantum field theories can be used in biological systems will be addressed in this study. Quantum effects were reported for certain biological systems like the magnetic orientation sense in migratory birds. In quantum field theories it is possible to derive effective quantum field theories with welded tangleoids including braid relations that describe composite particles based on the dynamics of microscopic particle where these composite particles are made of. We observe that the generators of the tangleoid category that will depict the Feynman graphs are

Bias formulas for violations of proximal identification assumptions in a linear structural equation model
Authors: Cobzaru Raluca , Welsch Roy , Finkelstein Stan , Ng Kenney , Shahn Zach
Published: June 2024

Causal inference from observational data often rests on the unverifiable assumption of no unmeasured confounding. Recently, Tchetgen Tchetgen and colleagues have introduced proximal inference to leverage negative control outcomes and exposures as proxies to adjust for bias from unmeasured confounding. However, some of the key assumptions that proximal inference relies on are themselves empirically untestable. In addition, the impact of violations of proximal inference assumptions on the bias of effect estimates is not well understood. In this article, we derive bias formulas for proximal inference estimators under a linear structural equation model. These results are a first step toward sensitivity analysis and quantitative bias analysis of proximal inference estimators. While limited to a particular family of data generating processes, our results may offer some more general insight into the behavior of proximal inference estimators.
Deep and hand-crafted features based on Weierstrass elliptic function for MRI brain tumor classification
Authors: Aldawish Ibtisam , Jalab Hamid A.
Published: June 2024

Advances in medical imaging and artificial intelligence have led to improvements in diagnosis and non-invasive patient examination accuracy. The use of the fundamental method for Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans as a screening tool has increased in recent years. Numerous studies have proposed a variety of feature extraction methods to classify the abnormal growths in MRI scans. Recently, the MRI texture analysis and the use of deep features have resulted in remarkable performance improvements in the classification and diagnosis of challenging pathologies, like brain tumors. This study proposes employing a handcrafted model based on Weierstrass elliptic function (WEF) and deep feature based on DenseNet-201 to classify brain tumors in MRI images. By calculating the energy of each individual pixel, the Weierstrass coefficients of the WEF are used to capture high frequency image details of the brain image. The WEF mode works to extract the nonlinear patterns in MRI images based on the probability of each pixel. While the dense connectivity of DenseNet-201’s architecture allows to learn features at multiple scales and abstraction levels. These features are passed to support vector machines classifier, which classifies the brain tumor. The results of classification accuracy achieved is 98.55% for combined features of WEF with trained DenseNet-201. Findings on the brain tumor segmentation dataset indicated that the proposed method performed better than alternative techniques for classifying brain tumors.
Microhistory, Archaeological Record, and the Subaltern Debris
Authors: Bermejo Tirado Jesús
Published: June 2024

This article explores the challenges of translating the empirical data recorded in the microhistorical events documented in most archaeological sites into narratives that provide a deeper understanding of long-term historical processes. It specifically focuses on the importance of studying the history of subaltern communities through this microhistorical scale. Drawing on the concept of “subaltern debris,” the article proposes a new approach to analyzing archaeological deposits generated by the everyday life of subaltern communities. It argues that these deposits can offer valuable insights into the living conditions and agency of subaltern communities. The article presents two case studies from the late antique period in the Iberian Peninsula to illustrate the potential of this approach. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of recognizing the material agency of subaltern communities in reshaping historical narratives.
Ähnlich, aber unterschiedlich
Authors: Lehmann Karsten
Published: June 2024

Aktuell entstehen zunehmend Studien, die sich dezidiert mit den Lebenswelten ‚muslimischer Jugendlicher‘ auseinandersetzen. Nur wenige dieser Studien folgen einem vergleichenden Forschungsdesign, welches ihre Ergebnisse in einem weiteren Kontext verortet. Der Artikel trägt zur Schließung dieser Forschungslücke bei. Auf der Basis qualitativer Fallanalysen beschäftigt er sich mit den Religionskonstruktionen sunnitischer Jugendlicher, die ihren Lebensmittelpunkt in ländlichen Regionen Österreichs haben und in Moscheegemeinden aktiv sind. Diese Religionskonstruktionen werden mit denen von Jugendlichen verglichen, deren Interviews in protestantischen und römisch-katholischen Kontexten geführt wurden. So können zwei dominante Typen von Religionskonstruktionen unterschieden werden: „Religion im Rahmen von Freizeitaktivitäten“ und „Religion im Rahmen der lokalen Kultur“. Diese Typen finden sich in unterschiedlicher Ausformung in allen Interviews. Die Religionskonstruktionen sind dabei ähnlich, aber unterschiedlich. Die zwei dominanten Typen prägen die Religionskonstruktionen in unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen.
Integration of history information Drives Serial Dependence and Stabilizes Working Memory Representations
Authors: Zhang Ziyao , Lewis-Peacock Jarrod A.
Published: June 2024

Serial dependence has shown seemingly contradictory effects on visual perception and working memory. While serial dependence promotes perpetual and mnemonic stability, it biases behavioral reports toward prior information. The neural mechanisms that drive both biasing and adaptive stabilizing effects are not well understood. We proposed and tested a reactivation and integration mechanism that can account for these contradictory effects. We used multivariate pattern analyses of EEG data (26 human participants, 17 females, 9 males) to examine the reactivation of prior reported orientation during the delay period of a visual working memory task. The reactivation strength of prior reports, but not prior sensory items, was predictive of the magnitude of serial dependency biases. These reactivated representations integrated with the representation of the current memory item and improved the ability to decode the current contents of memory. Overall, our data provide convergent evidence suggesting that prior reports in a visual working memory task are reactivated on the subsequent trial and become integrated with current memory representations. This similarity-dependent reactivation mechanism drives both report biasing and stabilization effects attributed to serial dependence in working memory.

By analysing the interaction between the group's order and its generator, we discovered the compatibility conditions and presented them as the primary finding in this paper.
IMPROVING A CIRCULAR REVERSE LOGISTICS TO HANDLE PRODUCT RETURN: INSIGHTS FROM A GLOBAL ELECTRONICS SERVICES PROVIDER
Authors: Batrisyia Nur Atiqah , Fernando Yudi
Published: June 2024

In the retail industry, consumers often return goods for various reasons, including damage, flaws, or plain dissatisfaction. The storing of returned goods can result in insufficient arrangement of the existing storage space and capacity. Such issue can cause problems like longer processing times, higher operating costs, and reduced customer satisfaction, hence necessitating prompt response. Therefore, this case study was conducted in a global electronics services provider to examine how circular reverse logistics can enhance the handling of product returns as well as developing a smart product return strategy. It is believed that creating a plan for product returns and integrating internal process improvements with external collaboration are highly important. The results showed that the organisation can establish a circular reverse logistic process to lower the cost and amount of product returns, enhance consumer service, and boost profitability. Such findings can benefit organisations wishing to establish circular reverse logistics procedures to handle product returns.

Published: June 2024

This paper investigates the effectiveness of export promotion programs (i.e., information, experiential, and financial supports) towards small-medium enterprises (SMEs) export performance. The research framework is guided by the Research-Based View. A sample of 116 Malaysian small and medium size exporter firms was tested by using the model. The data were analyzed through a partial least square structural equation modelling approach. Study results show that all three supports in the export promotion program improve SMEs’ export performance with the mediating effect of network role. The findings show that the implication of the impact of export promotion programs on export performance is justified. Besides, it also validates the importance of networking in using support from government agencies. The findings can also help SMEs engage with foreign buyers or trade organizations to profit from trade fairs and trade exhibits, promoting promotion programs on a global scale. Last but not least, government agencies can also strengthen international trade relations and foreign diplomacy for exporters to boost their trade competitiveness.

Authors: Taufikurohman Gebyar Bintang , Alamsyah Alamsyah
Published: June 2024

Technology social  is the fastest and most up-to-date source of information. A model that can provide mapping will help in sorting out information more precisely and quickly. Public opinion in the mass media always develops quickly to talk about an issue in just a few days or even hours, so we do not know what the opinions of the people in the mass media are on the issue. In this study, the author applied topic modeling to the results of sentiment analysis on PPKM. The source of data in this study was obtained from twitter using SNScrape. The collected data was analyzed sentiment using the Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) method, so that public opinion was obtained with positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. The classification obtained from the results of the sentiment analysis process is continued with the topic modeling process using the  Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) method and visualized in the form of a wordcloud to find out the relationship between one topic and another. The sentiment analysis process produces a model with an accuracy rate of 90.8% and the topic modeling process successfully presents topics that are easy to interpret so that conclusions can be known about an issue.
Unrevealing the Role of Social Media on Online Sex Trafficking: A Case Study and Conceptual Model of Cyber Prostitution in Indonesia
Authors: Usman Sahda Armandiva , Budiman Kholiq
Published: June 2024

Online prostitution is an example of cybercrime which is increasingly happening in today's digital era. Even though online prostitution cases have been well documented, in Indonesia itself there is no criminal law regulation that specifically addresses prostitution cases that occur on social media. Likewise, there is a lack of research that discusses the process of how online prostitution cases can occur from start to finish and social media interventions in these cases. The average previous research only focused on law violations that occurred at the final stage or at the exploitation stage. This indirectly ignores the role of social media in the process of building trust between perpetrators and victims (trust building), the process of trading or advertising (advertising), and the process of transactions between perpetrators and potential buyers (transactions). Therefore, in this study the author will discuss the role of technology in online prostitution cases and their relationship with criminals, victims and members of the police. The research design used by the author is Research & Development Level 1. The data in this study were obtained using in-depth interviews with informants and analysed by a deductive approach adapted from Nunamaker's research. Based on the results of the data analysis that has been carried out, the author finds that the social media most used by the actors is the MiChat application as much as 44%, Facebook 26%, WhatsApp 12% and other applications as much as 18%. In addition, this research also produces a conceptual model that describes the various processes that occur in online prostitution cases and the role of each social unit and social media. The conceptual model has been tested and validated by experts using the rating scale method. Obtained a percentage value of 86.67%. The results of this assessment prove that the conceptual model created is very feasible.
Measuring The Acceptance Level of User Interface Design of ERP System at PT Allure Alluminio Using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) Method
Authors: Mutoriq Alfat , Purwinarko Aji
Published: June 2024

The utilization of information technology and the internet in the industry is generally done through the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to manage business processes. The success of ERP system implementation requires efforts to support and prevent failure risks. One of the risk factors for failure is the User Interface (UI) design of the ERP system. Good UI design that meets user needs needs to be considered. This research utilizes the Design Thinking (DT) method to create a good UI design and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) method to measure the acceptance of UI design in the manufacturing module of PT Allure Alluminio. The DT method was chosen as the UI design method for the ERP system because it is considered more creative in generating product concepts compared to other standard methods and TAM was chosen as one of the best methods for explaining technology acceptance and is a popular and commonly used approach. The UI design process is carried out in 6 phases of DT under the guidance of the Person in Charge (PIC), and the acceptance of UI design is measured after system implementation. Acceptance measurement is conducted using TAM with navigation and UI design variables as external variables, which are taken from previous research, and it tests the variables of Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), and Behavioral Intention to Use (BITU) among 50 users of the ERP system in the manufacturing module at PT Allure Alluminio through a Google Form questionnaire. The collected data is analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in SmartPLS 3.2.9. The research results indicate that the DT method is effective for UI design as it involves users. The analysis shows that the use of ERP systems is influenced by perceived usefulness and ease of use, but not influenced by UI design. Navigation and UI design provide ease of use.

La razón sensible
Authors: Morales Vidales Amanda Panambí
Published: June 2024

Las emociones son sistemas complejos que combinan pensamientos, cultura, sentimientos y contextos, y no siguen patrones lógicos tradicionales, lo que dificulta su comprensión. Algunas teorías, como las de Solomon (2003) y Ben Ze'ev (2004), sugieren que las emociones pueden estar cerca de la racionalidad en ciertos momentos. Sin embargo, hay situaciones en las que las emociones no pueden ser explicadas racionalmente, ya que no todas son cogniciones. Las emociones poseen una lógica diferente, sensible, que no se alinea con la racionalidad tradicional. Este trabajo argumenta que las emociones son razonables, alógicas, complejas y sensatas, formando un sistema de razonamiento coherente pero no racional. Las emociones pueden ser comprendidas desde una perspectiva estética, un marco de conocimiento sensible. Propongo observar lo sensible desde este marco de entendimiento, donde pueden ser evaluadas y comprendidas en la argumentación como formas de lo sensible.
Loom widths and fabric consumption: Exploring hem circumference in nineteenth century women’s dress through a period cutting guide and extant garments
Authors: Libes Kenna
Published: June 2024

This paper presents a case study comparing a handful of extant early nineteenth-century American dresses to advice from periodicals and dressmaking manuals in order to understand whether similar advice might have been taken in service of making these pieces of clothing. While many historians logically assume that wealthier women would have worn dresses that demonstrated conspicuous consumption via sheer yardage and that simpler work clothing would be narrower and less concerned with fashionable excess, the dresses in this survey prove otherwise, demonstrating that women and their dressmakers were designing clothing in response to multiple factors rather than wealth or poverty alone.

Igrejas e grupos cristãos inclusivos e a luta por direitos
Authors: Musskopf André Sidnei
Published: June 2024

O artigo realiza uma análise da história das igrejas e grupos religiosos inclusivos e sua relação com a luta por direitos. De modo central discute-se a participação dessas organizações em temas relacionados aos direitos da população LGBTQIAP+, mas a pergunta de fundo também é como elas se relacionam com outros temas e organizações sociais. Defende-se que, especialmente no âmbito do cristianismo, tais grupos tenham surgido justamente no contexto de lutas e movimentos sociais diversos, sendo marcados fortemente por um engajamento político na segunda metade do século XX. Por outro lado, há evidências de que novos grupos que compõem esse fenômeno têm assumido posturas menos militantes devido a uma série de questões relacionadas ao contexto e condições de formação e temas mais amplos nos campos político e religioso. Por fim, apresenta-se alguns desafios colocados para esses grupos no atual cenário político e religioso.
A participação brasileira no fortalecimento do conservadorismo reacionário mundial: alianças político-religiosas e o reforço à agenda anti-gênero em meio à pandemia de Covid-19
Authors: De Franco Clarissa , Pinezi Ana Keila Mosca , Duarte de Souza Sandra
Published: June 2024

A perspectiva do conservadorismo reacionário, na qual o Brasil vem se aprofundando desde os anos 2000, encontrou um cenário mundial propício – a pandemia de Covid-19 – para o estabelecimento de alianças político-religiosas com vistas ao reforço à agenda anti-gênero , em especial antiaborto. Em meio às controvérsias públicas sobre a Covid-19, surgiram na cena pública alianças político-religiosas defendendo o fechamento de serviços médicos de assistência legal ao aborto, sob a justificativa de que durante a pandemia os serviços não emergenciais deveriam ser suspensos. O artigo apresenta e analisa algumas dessas alianças político-religiosas que se estabeleceram durante a pandemia de Covid-19, especialmente no que tange ao debate antiaborto, demonstrando como o Brasil participa do recrudescimento do conservadorismo reacionário presente no mundo.
A pandemia de vírus do machismo
Authors: Menezes Nilza , Pinheiro dos Santos Naira
Published: June 2024

Este artigo parte da observação de memes de cunho machista que circularam nas redes sociais, em especial no WhatsApp, tendo por pretexto os constrangimentos impostos pela quarentena decretada durante a pandemia provocada pelo vírus Covid 19. Esses reproduziram representações e violências de gênero em forma de “humor”. Analisamos, em perspectiva de gênero, as ideias veiculadas nas mensagens selecionadas, os assim chamados memes, perguntando-nos se há e qual seria a sua relação com religião. Verificou--se que a articulação entre neoliberalismo, conservadorismo político e religioso observado nos últimos anos no contexto brasileiro, concorreu para a reprodução e reforço de ideias de caráter misógino, sexista e racista/xenófobo, a fim de garantir a “imunidade” da família tradicional e a manutenção da divisão sexual do trabalho. Conclui-se que, ao disseminar tais paradigmas, o conteúdo dos memes selecionados reproduz as violências de gênero que perpassam a construção da família preconizada por grupos religiosos conservadores.
Uma reflexão sobre o empoderamento da mulher a partir da experiência de um retiro de meditação budista

Published: June 2024

A pandemia de COVID-19 afetou profundamente o cotidiano, pois o enfrentamento do vírus impôs severas medidas de isolamento e distanciamento social. As pessoas foram confinadas nas residências e apenas profissionais de serviços essenciais mantiveram o trabalho externo. O trabalho e a educação adaptaram-se à forma remota. O trabalho feminino, já caracterizado pela dupla jornada, viu-se ampliado, os casos de violência doméstica e mortes maternas se elevaram. Nesse cenário, a espiritualidade emergiu como forma de assegurar estabilidade mental, e a meditação apresentou-se como ferramenta de saúde mental e de empoderamento feminino. Para este trabalho, realizou-se pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, e sobre a meditação e seu potencial de empoderamento, analisou-se o retiro virtual realizado pela Associação Buddha-Dharma entre janeiro e março de 2021.

Conexões interseccionais no budismo brasileiro: desafios e reflexões preliminares
Authors: Augusto dos Santos Átila
Published: June 2024

O Budismo, tradição milenar originada na Ásia, expandiu-se globalmente, adaptando-se a diversas culturas. No Brasil, sua história começa no século XX com imigrantes japoneses, a partir de uma transplantação religiosa. Ele não é homogêneo no Brasil; estudos apontam maior presença em São Paulo, especialmente entre mulheres e negros/as. O interesse acadêmico cresce, com o número de dissertações e teses saltando de 141, em 2022, para 172, em 2023. No entanto, pesquisas interseccionais, considerando gênero, raça e classe são escassas. E agora propomos reflexões preliminares para uma abordagem estatística interseccional com base em dados do IBGE, SIMPT e currículos Lattes, incorporando perspectivas de pesquisas recentes. Busca-se contribuir para um entendimento mais amplo das dinâmicas que influenciam o budismo transplantado e abrasileirado.
Consentimento e autonomia corporal da mulher no contexto brasileiro a partir de uma perspectiva do budismo Mahāyāna Geluk
Authors: Chinaglia Magda Loureiro Motta , Tsai Patricia Guernelli Palazzo
Published: June 2024

O reconhecimento dos direitos sexuais e reprodutivos das mulheres no Brasil ainda encontra muitas barreiras, provocando impacto sobre as desigualdades de gênero. Através de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental apresentaremos um breve histórico dos direitos sexuais e reprodutivos e como as barreiras ao reconhecimento desses direitos impactam as desigualdades de gênero, especificamente, a autonomia corporal da mulher no Brasil. Sob uma perspectiva do Budismo Mahāyāna Geluk apresentaremos a noção de igualdade entre mulheres e homens estabelecida pelo Buddha e, adentrando o tema, as contribuições de Je Tsongkhapa no tocante ao consentimento das mulheres em relação à conduta sexual, bem como os possíveis diálogos com a promoção da autonomia corporal das mulheres na contemporaneidade.

O cuidado de si: a espiritualidade artesanal de garotos transexuais
Authors: Santos John Elton Costa , Nobre Maria Teresa
Published: June 2024

O artigo é o resultado de uma pesquisa realizada junto a um coletivo de homens trans na cidade de Manaus-AM, e tem como objetivo apresentar narrativas de experiência religiosa de alguns de seus integrantes. A pesquisa se deu por meio de metodologias etnográficas e cartográficas, que compõe tanto a incursão no campo quanto as entrevistas realizadas. Destacamos algumas categorias relevantes para as análises dessa experiência: elementos estéticos que surgem a partir reapropriação do religioso – escritas, imagens, orações, teologias; elementos discursivos que se caracterizam pela produção de uma pluralidade discursiva, hegemônicos e contra hegemônicos; acontecimentos históricos e fatos sociais;e por fim, práticas de resistência por meio da autonomia no “cuidado de si” e práticas de liberdade.
Filsafat Sosio-politik Al-Farabi dan Implementasinya terhadap Demokrasi
Authors: Agustina Agustina , Mutiullah Mutiullah
Published: June 2024

From Greece to the contemporary era, democracy has become the main pillar of the global political system with its basic principle that power comes from the people, making democracy an ideal paradigm. As is well known, there is an impression that democracy has regressed. There are even claims that democracy is an illusion. This article aims to explain how Al-Farabi's socio-political philosophy can be integrated and applied concretely in the dynamics of democracy. The research approach uses qualitative theoretical analysis by referring to Al-Farabi's major works, especially "Al-Madina Al-Fadila." A review was conducted on contemporary journals and relevant literature. Research Findings This study identifies Al-Farabi's philosophical concepts, such as justice, moral leadership, and citizen participation, which have significant potential to shape social and political dynamics. The results provide an overview of the ethical values championed by Al-Farabi and are in line with the basic principles of democracy. The theoretical and practical implications of this research provide a strong impetus for critical reflection and constructive discussion regarding the implementation of democracy in the contemporary context.
A REVIEW ON DURABILITY OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE CELLULOSE-BASED BIOCOMPOSITES
Authors: Faheed Noor K. , Issa Rasha Abdul-Hassan , Hamad Qahtan A.
Published: June 2024

Concerns about climate change have reignited enthusiasm for more sustainable applications of natural fibers in composite materials. Natural fiber composites (NFCs) are frequently marketed as an environmentally conscious item that may, in certain situations, provide appropriate levels of particular
strength and stiffness while having a lower overall ecological impact. Nevertheless, concerns with their proclivity for deteriorating in a number of ways, including chemical, biological, thermal, mechanical, photochemical, and water-based degradation, continue to stymie the widespread utilization of these composites. It is established that hemicelluloses are accountable for biological dilapidation in addition to absorbing moisture, while lignin is accountable for ultraviolet radiation (UV)
deterioration. The environmental degradation problems to be taken into account are those caused by
environmental elements such as biological approach, temperature, UV light, and moisture, which
might limit the usability of these composites. This review examines the latest researches into enhancing
the performance characteristics of NFCs under the influence of these environmental elements so that they might be utilized more extensively. Also highlighted how chemical treatment affects fiber composition and fiber-matrix interfacial bonding characteristics. It concludes by examining possible future paths for the development of innovative natural fiber composites with a wider range of better uses.

Differences in Pain Perception Between Amateur and Professional Muay Thai Fighters
Authors: Gwadera Jakub , Mosler Dariusz
Published: June 2024

Muay Thai is a martial art that involves close combat, utilizing punches, elbows, knees, and kicks. The combat format is strictly full contact. The objective of this study is to show how training in Thai boxing influences the development of pain perception among practitioners. The study group consists of 20 male athletes, aged at least 15, with a minimum of 6 months of training experience. Measurement tools include a thermometer, blood pressure monitor, stopwatch, and a vessel with cold water. The research methods employed were the Modified Cuff Pressure Test and the Cold Pressor Test. The study found out that after a training session, the average pressure tolerance in the Modified Cuff Pressure Test increased, indicating a heightened pain perception. Specifically, the mean tolerance for arm pressure went from 255.0 mmHg before training to 270.3 mmHg after, and for leg pressure, it increased from 228.3 mmHg to 250.8 mmHg post-training. In the Cold Pressor Test, pain perception remained unchanged, with no significant variation in tolerance observed before and after training units. Training in Thai boxing may lead to a partial increase in tolerance to physical pain, especially immediately after a training session.
