Di sisi lain, menjadi buruh migran adalah hak bagi semua warga negara dan dilindungi secara hukum. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis argumen kultural masyarakat Sade dalam mematuhi aturan adat tersebut. Penelitian lapangan ini dilakukan pada tahun 2022 dengan mewawancarai Kepala Desa Rembitan, tokoh adat, dan masyarakat Sasak Sade sebagai data primer. Dengan menggunakan penelitian kualitatif dan pendekatan sosiologi hukum, penelitian ini melihat bahwa larangan perempuan menjadi buruh migran di Dusun Sade Lombok Tengah memiliki dasar yang kuat baik dari sisi budaya maupun hukum. Kebiasaan ini telah mengakar kuat dalam masyarakat setempat, sebagai penghargaan terhadap leluhur dan tradisi adat. Kepatuhan terhadap ketentuan untuk tidak menjadi buruh migran juga didukung oleh pemahaman kultural historis perempuan dan merupakan pilihan rasional untuk mempertahankan struktur yang berfungsi dengan baik di masyarakat. Larangan ini juga sebagai bentuk perlindungan keluarga dan masyarakat terhadap perempuan, sehingga bisa disimpulkan bahwa aturan adat ini memiliki nilai-nilai kemaslahatan.
[The customary rule on the prohibition of women from becoming migrant workers is still implemented and obeyed by the people of Dusun Sade , West Nusa Tenggara. However, being a migrant worker is a right for all citizens and is legally protected. This article aims to analyse the cultural arguments of the Sade people in complying with these customary rules. This field research was conducted in 2022 by interviewing the Head of Rembitan Village, traditional leaders, and the Sasak Sade community as primary data. Using qualitative research and a legal sociology approach, this study sees that the prohibition of women from becoming migrant workers in Dusun Sade, Central Lombok has a strong basis both in terms of culture and law. This custom has been deeply rooted in the local community, as a tribute to ancestors and customary traditions. Compliance with the provision not to be a migrant worker is also supported by a historical cultural understanding of women and is a rational choice to maintain a well-functioning structure in society. This prohibition is also a form of family and community protection for women, so it can be concluded that this customary rule has beneficial values.]

Published: July 2024

Dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat saat ini, harapan untuk berperilaku heteronormatif cukup dominan, sehingga menyulitkan kehidupan komunitas transpuan. Diskriminasi dan stigmatisasi menempatkan transpuan dalam kelompok rentan sehingga mereka juga turut berpotensi menjadi korban kekerasan maupun kejahatan lainnya. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengelaborasi bentuk-bentuk viktimisasi terhadap kelompok transpuan sebagai kaum marginal serta bagaimana upaya perlindungan terhadap kelompok transpuan ditinjau dari teori viktimologi kritis.  Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah normatif-empiris. Data primer yang digunakan adalah informasi dan keterangan dari wawancara yang dilakukan terhadap responden transpuan di beberapa kota, yaitu Yogyakarta (Kabupaten Sleman dan Kabupaten Bantul), Kota Semarang, Kabupaten Baturaja, dan Kota Makassar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat beberapa bentuk viktimisasi terhadap transpuan di antaranya kekerasan fisik dan verbal, kekerasan seksual, viktimisasi properti dan diskriminasi oleh Negara dan masyarakat  serta reviktimisasi sosial. Upaya perlindungan  seharusnya komprehensif dari berbagai sektor baik ekonomi, sosial, budaya, agama  dan hukum.
[In today's society, the expectation of heteronormative behavior is quite dominant, making it   difficult for the transgender community to live.

The challenge of cellulose nitrate-coated fabrics: molecular characterization of celluloid detachable collars and Fabrikoid
Authors: Neves Artur , Ferreira Joana Tomás , Friedel Robert , Callapez Maria Elvira
Published: July 2024

In the 19th century, significant linen and leather imitation products were invented using cellulose nitrate-coated fabrics, including celluloid detachable collars and Fabrikoid artificial leather, now preserved in the Hagley Museum and Library, USA. Using optical microscopy, µRaman, and µFourier Transformed Infrared spectroscopies, this study highlights the need for characterizing the heterogeneity of these materials at the microscale. While the detachable collars have well-preserved fabric coatings composed of cellulose nitrate, camphor, anatase (TiO2), and carbon-based particles, Fabrikoid’s pigmented cellulose nitrate-castor oil systems show problems. Our molecular data align with a 1922 report on Fabrikoid degradation, revealing free fatty acids and carboxylates formed due to oil oxidation. This is concerning as these materials were used until the 1960s, demonstrated by the analysis of objects from the National Museum of Costumes in Portugal. Future studies should address the compatibility of cellulose nitrate with fatty acids and the reactivity of additives in these systems.

Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea poses a significant health risk, with potential long‐term consequences on cardiovascular health. This study explores the dichotomous nature of neonatal cardiac response to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) between males and females, aiming to fill a critical knowledge gap in the understanding of sex‐specific cardiovascular consequences of sleep apnea in early life. Neonates were exposed to CIH until p28 and underwent comprehensive in vivo physiological assessments, including whole‐body plethysmography, treadmill stress‐tests, and echocardiography. Results indicated that male CIH rats weighed 13.7% less than age‐matched control males (p = 0.0365), while females exhibited a mild yet significant increased respiratory drive during sleep (93.94 ± 0.84 vs. 95.31 ± 0.81;p = 0.02). Transcriptomic analysis of left ventricular tissue revealed a substantial sex‐based difference in the cardiac response to CIH, with males demonstrating a more pronounced alteration in gene expression compared to females (5986 vs. 3174 genes). The dysregulated miRNAs in males target metabolic genes, potentially predisposing the heart to altered metabolism and substrate utilization. Furthermore, CIH in males was associated with thinner left ventricular walls and dysregulation of genes involved in the cardiac action potential, possibly predisposing males to CIH‐related arrhythmia. These findings emphasize the importance of considering sex‐specific responses in understanding the cardiovascular implications of pediatric sleep apnea.

Published: July 2024

Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the ability of preschool children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing children to recognize and express scene-based emotion symbols. Method: 15 children with ASD and 15 typically developing children aged 3-6 participated. In the scene-based emotion recognition task, 4 scene-based symbols were presented on a screen and the children were asked to select the scene-based symbol related to the target emotional vocabulary. In the emotional expression task, 14 scene-based symbols were randomly listed and the children were asked to identify the emotions of the main character. Results: First, there were significant differences in emotional recognizing between ASD and TD children. Second, except for dislike, there were significant differences in emotional expression in the sence-based graphic symbols for joy/pleasure, sadness, anger, and scared. Analysis of error types in the emotional expression task showed that children with ASD had a higher rate of nonmeaningful errors compared to meaningful errors. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the emotional expression and recognizing abilities of children with ASD are lower than those of TD children, which may be attributed to difficulties in grasping emotional approaches and overall situational contexts. The results indicate the need for training in scene-based graphic symbol learning when applying augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems for children with ASD.
Advances in personalized modelling and virtual display of ethnic clothing for intelligent customization
Authors: Shi Hui , Yu Jinjing , Duan Ting
Published: July 2024

To enhance the intelligence of the ethnic clothing customization industry and provide online solutions for clothing ordering and fashion shows, this study analyses the latest developments in the fields of digital human models, 3D clothing models, and virtual clothing displays in recent years. This study focuses on analysing the categories and processes of three related technologies in clothing virtual display and compares the advantages and disadvantages of four human body modelling methods. Reshaping the facial features of a 3D body scan model and binding the bones of each part is key to providing a personalized body model. In addition, 3D clothing modelling technology is classified into three methods. The 3D fabric scan data are used to establish realistic seam information and process details simulation and use hybrid modelling methods to virtually sew 2D samples, which can enhance the realism of clothing models. The virtual display platform for ethnic clothing is constructed through layered design based on the Unity3D engine, matching versions and virtual display. The above research ideas can solve bottleneck problems in clothing customization. This has important guiding significance for opening up the ethnic clothing customization market, promoting the intelligence of the customization industry, and promoting ethnic clothing culture.

The Sickness unto Death Penalty: To Condemn the Other to Despair for the Sake of One’s Own Despair
Authors: Caballero Cassandre
Published: July 2024

This paper will give a secularized account of the role that intersubjectivity plays in an individual’s despair. I will investigate the dynamics that might bring one individual to actively try to bring another into despair by working their way into the other’s self-relation. I will argue that such dynamics result from defiance, which is a form of despair, and will illustrate my point using Faust’s relationship to Margarete as an example. However, I will also keep in mind that despair is a “dialectical” sickness and that one’s defiance, when confronted to its own limits, might have to shift in order to subsist.
Not a Negation, but a Position: Kierkegaard on Evil and Sin
Authors: Dalferth Ingolf U.
Published: July 2024

For Kierkegaard, the problem of evil is the existential challenge of our entanglement in evil, suffering, and sin. Sin is not a “negation” but a “position,” not a moral wrongdoing or lack of virtue, but a distinctive condition in which humans live. Nor is evil simply a lack or absence of good, but the weakening, obstruction, and destruction of good. This paper traces Kierkegaard’s account of evil and sin in his major writings in terms of despair, boredom, and fear. Sin and evil do not question God’s love, but rather become the occasion for God to create good out of evil, life out of death, being out of nothing.
Original Sin and Transmission of Trauma: A Dialog between Kierkegaard’s Hamartiology and the Phenomenon of Transgenerationality
Authors: Mausbach Lena Isabell
Published: July 2024

This article explores the psychological phenomenon of the transgenerational transmission of trauma. Søren Kierkegaard’s conception of original sin serves as a template for the argument. After outlining the complex psychological process of trauma transmission, the article gleans insights regarding the transgenerationality of trauma as found in Kierkegaard’s thinking. With a focus on The Concept of Anxiety, the article highlights parallel structures of displaying and penetrating original sin and the transmission of trauma. The article argues that the Christian perspective on salvation proves to be a substantial dialog partner for the secular understanding of posttraumatic healing.
La pensée existentielle de Kierkegaard et la philosophie de Charles De Koninck: contexte et résonances
Authors: Valcourt-Blouin Maxime
Published: July 2024

So far, the philosopher Charles De Koninck (1906 – 1965) has most commonly been considered as a proponent of the philosophy of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas. However, his contact with modern and contemporary philosophy also contributed to shape his thought. This paper presents his reception of Kierkegaard’s philosophy by first analyzing the textual evidence in his works, indicating a presence of Kierkegaard in his writings. This is followed by a discussion of the similarities between their respective definitions of philosophy and their common views on philosophical anthropology, thus indicating a correspondence between the Dane and De Koninck’s respective philosophies.

Published: July 2024

The spin Hall effect of light, a phenomenon characterized by the transverse and spin dependent splitting of light at an optical interface, is highly promising for collecting precise quantitative data from interfaces and stands as an appealing option for improving precision metrology. This high level of precision is attributed to the principles of weak measurement. Since its conceptual introduction, the spin Hall effect of light has been empirically observed through weak measurement techniques, adhering closely to the initially proposed experimental configuration. Recently, it has been suggested that the setup can be downsized without compromising precision. Here, the first experimental demonstration of “compact weak measurement” is achieved by observing the spin Hall effect of both reflected and refracted light. Compared to the conventional weak measurement, this compact setup performs the same measurements but requires less free space by replacing the two convex lenses with a set of concave and convex lenses. The compact weak measurement demonstrates excellent agreement with theoretical predictions and experimental findings from traditional setups across both isotropic–isotropic and isotropic–anisotropic interfaces. The experimental validation of the compact configuration paves the way for the practical application of the spin Hall effect of light in devices with a smaller form factor.

Published: July 2024

Many chemicals associated with unconventional oil and natural gas (UOG) are known toxicants, leading to health concerns about the effects of UOG. Our objective was to conduct a scoping review of the toxicological literature to assess the effects of UOG chemical exposures in models relevant to human health. We searched databases for primary research studies published in English or French between January 2000 and June 2023 on UOG-related toxicology studies. Two reviewers independently screened abstracts and full texts to determine inclusion. Seventeen studies met our study inclusion criteria. Nine studies used solely in vitro models, while six conducted their investigation solely in animal models. Two studies incorporated both types of models. Most studies used real water samples impacted by UOG or lab-made mixtures of UOG chemicals to expose their models. Most in vitro models used human cells in monocultures, while all animal studies were conducted in rodents. All studies detected significant deleterious effects associated with exposure to UOG chemicals or samples, including endocrine disruption, carcinogenicity, behavioral changes and metabolic alterations. Given the plausibility of causal relationships between UOG chemicals and adverse health outcomes highlighted in this review, future risk assessment studies should focus on measuring exposure to UOG chemicals in human populations.
Corruption and controlling shareholders
Authors: Davis Kevin E. , Pargendler Mariana
Published: July 2024

Controlling shareholders have been directly involved in some of the largest and most consequential bribery scandals in the world over the course of the last decade. Nevertheless, the academic literature and the dominant international model of anticorruption law have neglected the dynamics and implications of controlling shareholder involvement in the payment of bribes. We argue that controlling shareholders, especially in family-controlled firms, may be uniquely positioned to lead corrupt schemes. We then analyze the incidence of this phenomenon in recent U.S. enforcement actions under the FCPA and in Brazilian enforcement actions under the Car Wash (Lava Jato) anticorruption operation. Controlled companies account for a minority of the FCPA cases, but for a large majority of the Brazilian cases. Controlling shareholders were implicated in a significant portion of actions against controlled companies in both contexts. We argue that the dominant international model, which is premised on organizational liability and incentives for compliance programs, is ill-suited to addressing cases of bribery led by controlling shareholders, and call for a distinct array of legal responses.
Justifications for minority co-owned groups and their corporate law implications
Authors: Enriques Luca , Gilotta Sergio
Published: July 2024

Corporate groups with listed subsidiaries are common around the world, despite the risks they pose to minority shareholders. Shaping a firm as a web of formally independent, minority-co-owned legal entities facilitates controllers’ diversion of corporate wealth (tunnelling) via intragroup transactions and other nontransactional techniques. This Article problematizes the conventional view of groups as tunnelling-facilitating infrastructures by arguing that organizing as a group with listed subsidiaries (a minority co-owned group) may create value for all shareholders. Organizing as a minority co-owned group may increase transparency, improve performance thanks to the possibility of using stock options for subsidiaries’ managers, allow for the circumvention of inefficient restrictions to dual-class shares, facilitate cross-border acquisitions, and be a second-best solution in the presence of path dependence issues preventing firms from moving from concentrated to dispersed ownership. If these are the economic rationales for having minority co-owned groups, how should the latter be regulated? In continental Europe special corporate law rules centred on a relaxation of directors’ fiduciary duties within minority co-owned groups, with a view to facilitating intragroup transactions, are increasingly popular among academics and policymakers. These rules, in turn, are bound to blur the separation between the minority co-owned listed entity as an independently managed firm and other members of the corporate group. However, because the rationales for minority co-owned groups presuppose the opposite, namely a clear and transparent separation between the minority co-owned listed entity and the group, our conclusion is that stringent self-dealing rules (or at least no less stringent rules than those established for conflicted transactions other than intragroup transactions) are required for minority co-owned groups to create value for all shareholders rather than merely facilitate tunnelling.
Reversible photoluminescence shift in imidazolium l-tartrate crystal triggered by acoustic shock waves

Published: July 2024

Imidazolium l-tartrate crystal has been grown by employing the slow evaporation technique using de-ionized water as the solvent. An impact study on the exposure of shock pulses on the surface of the material has been carried out and the influence of shock waves on its photo luminance has been investigated. In the present work, in order to carry out the experiment, a shock wave of Mach number 1.5 has been utilized which has been generated by a semi-automated Reddy Tube. Imidazolium tartrate crystal is made into a fine powder and split into four identical parts to be used for further characterization. A series of shock waves such as 25, 50, and 75 are impacted on the respective samples while keeping one of the samples as the control. The powder X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the observed increase in peak intensity and peak shifting is due to the increase in the number of shock pulses from 25 to 75. FTIR is performed to analyze the presence of functional groups in the material before and after shock exposure. Photoluminescence measurements are also carried out for the pre- and post-shocked samples to determine the nature of optical emission with respect to various shock pulse counts. The above experimental analyzes confirm that the title sample undergoes a reversible photoluminescence shift induced by shock waves.

Dunican, IC, Galpin, A, Turner, M, and Reale, R. Sleep behaviors and nutritional knowledge in amateur and professional combat sport athletes. J Strength Cond Res 38(9): 1627–1634, 2024—Combat sports is a term applied to various competitive contact sports involving 2 competitors engaging in a bout or contest under a specific ruleset. Little is known about combat sports athletes' sleep and nutritional knowledge. This study aimed to assess (a) sleep behaviors, (b) alcohol and shiftwork disorders, and (c) the nutritional knowledge of combat sports athletes. Subjects completed various demographic questions and estimations of their weight management practices and validated surveys, including the Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire, Shiftwork Disorder (SWD) Screening Questionnaire, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, and the Abridged Nutrition for Sports Knowledge Questionnaire. A total of 844 combat sports athletes completed the survey, 79% male, height of 177 ± 10 (cm), and body mass of 79 ± 15 (kg). Subjects were categorized into their specific combat sport type (e.g., boxing or Brazilian jiu-jitsu [BJJ]) and by their level (professional or amateur). Sleep quality was average for all combat sport types and risk prevalence of shiftwork disorder at 11%. Mann-Whitney U tests revealed that amateurs, compared with professional strikers (p = 0.046, CLES = 0.80), boxers (p = 0.01, CLES = 0.78), and BJJ (p = 0.046, CLES = 0.61) athletes, consumed significantly more alcohol. A Friedman test showed significant (p < 0.001, W = 0.51) differences in weight between time points, with most combat sports athletes reducing weight for competition. An overall nutritional knowledge average of 55% was reported. This study highlights a critical gap in the knowledge and practices of combat sports athletes in relation to sleep behaviors and disorders, alcohol consumption, and nutritional knowledge, emphasizing the need for targeted educational interventions.
Experimental and Numerical Study of Low-Velocity Impact Behavior of Woven Innegra Fiber Composite Plates
Authors: Fuladvand Mohamad , Kazemi Sayyed Roohollah
Published: July 2024

Innegra fibers, which are based on Olefin material, provide very good mechanical properties if woven into a composite structure. These fibers are relatively new, and the composites made of them have been less investigated than fibers such as glass and carbon. In this research, the mechanical properties of Innegra composite specimens, which are manufactured by the vacuum injection process, are investigated experimentally. The experimental results are compared with the results of a micromechanical model, and a good matching is observed. Also, the behavior of these composites under low-velocity impact is experimentally and numerically evaluated. This evaluation includes various parameters such as maximum displacement, maximum force, absorbed energy, and return velocity. The influences of the number of layers and the shape of the impactor are also studied. The results show good agreement between the numerical analyses and the experimental tests.

Проанализированы результаты региональных геолого-разведочных работ за счет федерального бюджета на территории Алдано-Майской перспективной (потенциальной) нефтегазоносной области (НГО) за последние 18 лет. Они позволили в значительной мере скорректировать представления о геологическом строении исследуемой территории. Рассмотрены ключевые особенности строения осадочного чехла Алдано-Майской НГО и основные тектонические события, повлиявшие на его структуру. В результате обобщения и интерпретации сейсморазведочных данных, полученных на девяти участках региональных работ, построены сейсмогеологические разрезы и структурные карты, которые послужили основой для структурно-тектонического районирования территории Алдано-Майской НГО. Составлена карта выходов свит и серий рифея на предвендскую эрозионную поверхность. Приведены тектонические схемы по трем структурным ярусам - верхнекарельско-нижнерифейскому, средневерхнерифейскому и венд-кембрийскому, показано их принципиальное отличие. В частности, крупный Майский наклонный вал выражен только в рельефах нижнего рифея и не находит отражения в вышележащих структурных поверхностях среднего рифея-венда, которые в общих чертах представляют собой слабодифференцированные моноклинали. Определены параметры основных тектонических элементов.

The results of regional geological exploration over the past 18 years within the Aldan-Maya potential petroleum area were used as the basis for the refinement of the geological structure of the study area. The study considers the key structural features of the sedimentary cover of the Aldan-Maya region and major tectonic events that affected its structure. The generalization and interpretation of regional seismic survey data provided the basis for building a series of geoseismic sections and structure maps, which, in turn, were used in structural tectonic zoning of the study area. The map showing outcrops of Riphean formations and groups on the pre-Vendian erosion surface was complied. Tectonic schemes for three structural levels (upper Karelian-Lower Riphean, Middle-Upper Riphean and Vendian-Cambrian) confirmed their fundamental difference. In particular, the large Maya inclined swell was detected only in the topography of the Lower Riphean and is absent in the overlying structures of Middle Riphean-Vendian age, which are represented by weakly differentiated monoclines. The parameters of the major tectonic elements were determin
Monte Carlo simulations of x-ray energy spectra in kilovoltage radiotherapy using the PENELOPE code
Authors: E Aguirre , C.E de Almeida
Published: July 2024

The Monte Carlo method was applied using the PENELOPE code to simulate the transport of particles in two different x-ray tubes. This method is considered the most important and accurate for simulations and calculations in different branches of science, including medical physics. The tubes were modeled according to the manufacturer’s specifications, and the simulations were divided into two stages due to the computational time. The scope of the work was to obtain in greater detail photon spectra of different qualities of beams in the orthovoltage range used in radiotherapy, since few works have, yet been developed for this energy range. A detailed analysis was carried out by comparing to the spectra results obtained using the SpekCalc software for the different qualities of radiation in the two stages. Mean energy values along with the first and second half-value layers (HVLs) of each energy were determined with the respective differences between them. Different discrepancies were found in most cases, and so it is vitally important to consider each situation independently. Finally, secondary electron energy spectra in the second stage of each quality were presented with their respective mean energies, an important parameter considered in the dose deposition of the different experimental geometries that use such qualities.

By solving this optimization problem, the most advantageous contractual terms for purchasing and selling electricity from those available on the market are determined. This allows the company to efficiently manage its electricity portfolio and meet its consumption schedule as per existing supply contracts with consumers. The IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio software was employed to develop and solve the optimization problems related to the company's portfolio. The computational experiments conducted provide insights into the effectiveness of the proposed model and its practical applicability. These results demonstrate the model's adequacy and its potential for real-world implementation.
Virtual endomorphisms of the group $pg$
Authors: Bondarenko I. , Zashkolny D.
Published: July 2024

A virtual endomorphism of a group $G$ is a homomorphism of the form $\phi:H\rightarrow G$, where $H<G$ is a subgroup of finite index. A virtual endomorphism $\phi:H\rightarrow G$ is called simple if there are no nontrivial normal $\phi$-invariant subgroups, that is, the $\phi$-core is trivial. We describe all virtual endomorphisms of the plane group $pg$, also known as the fundamental group of the Klein bottle. We determine which of these virtual endomorphisms are simple, and apply these results to the self-similar actions of the group. We prove that the group $pg$ admits a transitive self-similar (as well as finite-state) action of degree $d$ if and only if $d\geq 2$ is not an odd prime, and admits a self-replicating action of degree $d$ if and only if $d\geq 6$ is not a prime or a power of $2$.
On Poisson (2-3)-algebras which are finite-dimensional over the center

One of the classic results of group theory is the so-called Schur theorem. It states that if the central factor-group $G/\zeta(G)$ of a group $G$ is finite, then its derived subgroup $[G,G]$ is also finite. This result has numerous generalizations and modifications in group theory. At the same time, similar investigations were conducted in other algebraic structures, namely in modules, linear groups, topological groups, $n$-groups, associative algebras, Lie algebras, Lie $n$-algebras, Lie rings, Leibniz algebras. In 2021, L.A. Kurdachenko, O.O. Pypka and I.Ya. Subbotin proved an analogue of Schur theorem for Poisson algebras: if the center of the Poisson algebra $P$ has finite codimension, then $P$ includes an ideal $K$ of finite dimension such that $P/K$ is abelian. In this paper, we continue similar studies for another algebraic structure. An analogue of Schur theorem for Poisson (2-3)-algebras is proved.

The prevalence of diabetes is increasing day by day as per a report by the year 2045, 1 out of every 8th individuals may suffer from diabetes. This research article focuses on developing and validating Metformin and Dapagliflozin in combination by using high-pressure liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC). The validation of the method was followed as per the guidelines provided by the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) and United States Pharmacopeia (USP). Separation of both drugs takes place in less than 4 min. This separation takes place using Phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) and acetonitrile in a 45:55 (v/v) ratio at a 1.0 mL min−1 flow rate. Furthermore, studies on both drugs were conducted by using the bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms (Tablets). The developed method was accurate as drug recoveries in both cases of Metformin, and Dapagliflozin ranged between (100.8, 99.6, 98.8%) to (100.8, 99.3, and 101.5%) respectively having a concentration range of solutions between 70, 100 and 130 μg mL−1 dilution. The recommended method for simultaneous quantification of Metformin and Dapagliflozin was established and validated and no excipient interactions were found.

Characteristics of apricot yogurt fermented with different culture straıns and stevıa
Authors: Özer Elif
Published: July 2024

This study evaluated the effects of exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing and non-EPS-producing culture varieties and the enriching of apricot pulp to the post-acidification process and microbiological, viscosity, antioxidant, and sensory properties of yogurt. Two groups of yogurts were produced in terms of culture variety. One of the yogurts in both groups was enriched with apricot pulp at a ratio of 10%. The natural sweetener, stevia, was added at a ratio of 0.1% to all yogurts. The lowest pH and highest acidity values were determined for the non-EPS sample produced without apricot pulp. The dry matter content of the yogurts was increased with whey protein powder. Between the yogurts produced with EPS-producing strains, the bacteria counts were higher for those enriched with apricot pulp. The highest Streptococcus thermophilus counts were determined for the sample produced with EPS-producing culture and apricot pulp at the beginning and end of the storage. Total phenolic content (TPC) was higher for the samples produced with conventional culture and enriched with apricot pulp. Similar results were observed in the antioxidant activity. Sensory attributes were considered taste, odor, appearance, texture, and overall acceptability. The yogurts produced with EPS-producing culture were preferred regarding taste, texture, and overall acceptability.

TEACHERS’ EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES: INTERACTIONS WITH EXTERNALIZING PROBLEMS AND BOYS’ SOCIAL SKILLS

Published: July 2024

Teacher-student relationships have been little investigated, especially when considering multiple interaction variables from the dyad's point of view. This study aimed to examine the predictive effects of teachers' educational practices on the externalizing behavior problems and social skills of preschool and school-age boys, as well as how these variables interact in models of mediation and moderation. A total of 121 teachers participated in this research, answering standardized instruments about the educational practices, social skills, and behavior problems of 145 preschool and school-age boys. Simple and multiple logistic regression, as well as moderation and mediation analyses, were conducted. The results indicated that both negative and positive educational practices influence the occurrence of behavior problems and the development of social skills in children. Additionally, the results showed that boys' social skills mediated the relationship between teachers' negative practices and behavior problems, thereby reducing this impact. However, the positive effect of positive practices was not confirmed. Interventions with children to develop social skills and with teachers to improve educational practices are recommended.

The early-age strength of grouting material is crucial for tunnel support under high geothermal temperatures. Grouting materials (such as the most commonly used cement slurry) hydrate and solidify under the condition of variable-temperature curing after entering the real stratum. However, the development process of the early strength of cement paste under the condition of variable-temperature curing is still unclear. This aim of this study was to elucidate the environmental effects of high-ground-temperature tunnels on the early strength development of cement stone. Cement slurry was subjected to variable-temperature curing under three different temperatures (T = 40°C, 60°C and 80°C) and two different relative humidities (H = 5% and 95%) through design experiments. Compressive strength tests were conducted, along with microscopic analysis using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. The results indicate that the strength of cement stone under variable-temperature curing was lower than that under constant-temperature curing at the same temperature. The influence of variable-temperature curing conditions on the strength variation of samples with a high water/cement ratio at later age was greater for curing at 80°C. The research results are helpful to understand the influence of environmental effects of high-ground-temperature tunnels on the properties of grouting materials.
