Published: January 2025

This mentoring aims to see the implementation of Drumband Extracurricular activities towards improving non-academic competencies of students at SMPN 1 Pariaman. Drumband Extracurricular Activities at SMPN 1 Pariaman focus on the technical aspects of playing music, training students to master musical instruments such as snare drums, bass drums, tom-toms, pianicas, and cymbals. Practices are carried out routinely to prepare them to perform at school events and competitions. However, this activity emphasizes individual and team musical abilities without linking them to social activities or community service. Although students are skilled, they do not have structured opportunities to apply social roles through music, and the emphasis is more on technical achievements than on developing social character. This mentoring uses the Service Learning method. The results of the mentoring show that student involvement in Drumband Extracurricular activities provides a positive contribution to the development of soft skills, such as discipline, teamwork, creativity, and self-confidence. Thus, Drumband activities not only provide technical musical skills, but also improve non-academic competencies that are important for student development.

The creation of scientific works is inseparable from the activities of searching, processing, and citing existing information. Mistakes in obtaining information or citing from literary sources will result in significant problems. Accusations of plagiarism and even legal action can be taken against individuals who produce scientific articles with the label of plagiarism. The writing methods or the use of citation management tools are still not optimal in reducing the level of plagiarism. The knowledge and awareness of writers about the importance of preserving and respecting the works of others become crucial to understand. Training becomes an effective solution to enhance the knowledge and awareness of writers about the importance of preserving and respecting the works of others, which are intellectual properties. The method used in the training involved lectures and discussions, integrating the material into the Information Technology Ethics, Regulation, and Cyber Law course. After the community service activities were conducted, it can be concluded that 79% of students felt an increase in knowledge regarding the dangers and importance of avoiding plagiarism, and the community service activities were effective in providing education and understanding to the students.

Data-Driven Civil Engineering: Applications of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning
Authors: Jain Rituraj , Singh Sitesh Kumar , Palaniappan Damodharan , Parmar Kumar , T Premavathi
Published: January 2025

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) are a great advantage that is coming to civil engineering in ways that detail accuracy can be enhanced, many tasks automated, and predictive modeling improved. Across some of the significant subdomains, these technologies allow for eminent progress in structural health monitoring, geotechnical engineering, hydraulic systems, construction management. Currently, AI-powered models such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), fuzzy logic, and evolution-based algorithms allow engineers to predict failure, optimize design, and better resource management of infrastructures. Yet, despite the potential, the adoption of AI, ML, and DL into civil engineering faces a host of challenges including data availability, computational complexity, model interpretability, integration with traditional systems, etc. High-quality, real-time data collection remains expensive and the resource-intensive nature of DL models limits their application to a large scale. In addition, the "black-box" nature of these models raises ethical and regulatory issues especially in decisions related to safety. Against this backdrop, this paper reviews current and potential applications of AI, ML, and DL in civil engineering within the framework of benefits and limitations of AI, ML, and DL, focusing on comparisons. Besides that, the paper outlines future directions regarding cloud computing, explainable AI, and regulatory frameworks. With all these changes within the scope of the discipline, AI-driven technologies will be major in safe, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure systems, provided that success is specifically dependent on addressing these key challenges.
MCMC-Enhanced Neural Network Operators for Dynamic Systems and Adaptive Control
Authors: dos Santos Romulo Damasclin Chaves
Published: January 2025

This paper introduces a novel framework that integrates neural network operators with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to model and control stochastic dynamic systems and adaptive control systems. Three foundational theorems are proposed: the stability of stochastic dynamic systems, the convergence of MCMC-based optimization, and the stability of adaptive control systems. These theorems establish the theoretical underpinnings of the integrated framework, focusing on stability, convergence, and optimal parameter adjustment. The stability theorem demonstrates error bounds for neural network approximations in Sobolev spaces, while the MCMC convergence theorem guarantees sampling efficacy for parameter optimization. The stability of adaptive control systems theorem ensures asymptotic tracking of desired trajectories and convergence of adaptive parameters. Numerical simulations validate the theoretical results, highlighting improved precision, robustness, and efficiency in dynamic system modeling and control. The findings provide a robust foundation for enhancing neural network-based approaches in dynamic systems and adaptive control, with significant implications for practical applications in complex, stochastic environments.
Social mismatch and affective wellbeing: a genetically-informative Ecological Momentary Assessment study
Authors: de Vries Lianne P. , Bartels Meike
Published: January 2025

The affective benefits of social contact depend on momentary social needs. Mismatch between desired and actual contact can result in social deprivation or oversatiation. We examined these dynamics in relation to affective wellbeing, considering genetic predispositions for loneliness, wellbeing, and depressive symptoms. Participants (N=1086, 71% female, Mage=36.4) completed 7-day Ecological Momentary Assessments of affect and social contact eight times daily. Social mismatch was higher when alone (M=3.67) than with others (M=2.65). Dynamic Structural Equation Modelling showed that, both concurrently and two hours later, higher negative affect (β=.18 and β=.04 respectively) and lower positive affect (β=-.19 and β=-.05 respectively) were related to more social mismatch. Interestingly, social oversatiation was linked to reduced negative affect two hours later (β=-.03). Younger adults and those with a stronger genetic predisposition for wellbeing showed stronger effects of social mismatch on positive affect. The results highlights the complex relationship between social contact, needs, and affective wellbeing.
Neural Network Operators: Convergence and Stability in Dynamic Systems
Authors: dos Santos Romulo Damasclin Chaves
Published: January 2025

This paper extends the theoretical framework of neural network operators activated by perturbed hyperbolic tangent functions, focusing on dynamic systems and adaptive control. By incorporating advanced perturbation techniques, differential geometry, and variational methods, we establish robust operators with enhanced convergence and stability properties. Three new theorems are introduced, providing rigorous insights into the operators' behavior in dynamic environments. These results reinforce the applicability of neural networks in control theory, offering a solid foundation for precise approximations and robust adaptive mechanisms in complex systems.
Levelling the Playing Field? How Social Class and Internships Influence Perceived Employability amongst UK University Students
Authors: Vines Sarah , Gobel Matthias S
Published: January 2025

Debates about the value of higher education are more vivid than ever. In this context, policy-makers and employers increasingly demand that universities produce graduates who can make an immediate contribution in the workplace. However, such discussions often overlook significant inequalities in participation, particularly those rooted in socioeconomic disparities. In this research, we explored how students’ social class backgrounds and their participation in internships and work placements shape their perceptions of employability. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theoretical framework of capital, we demonstrate the crucial role of social capital in explaining class-based disparities in perceived employability and in mitigating these disparities through participation in internships and work placements. A survey of 152 university students in the United Kingdom revealed that students from higher socioeconomic backgrounds exhibited greater perceived employability due to their greater access to social capital. Additionally, participation in internships and work placements was positively associated with students’ perceptions of employability, primarily by increasing their social capital. Importantly, this relationship held true regardless of students’ social class backgrounds. These findings point to internships and work placements as valuable mechanisms for universities to enhance students’ perceived employability whilst promoting greater equity in outcomes. We discuss practical strategies for higher education institutions to implement these findings and emphasise the need for policy-makers to address broader structural inequalities to diversify access to internships and professional networks, particularly for underrepresented groups.
Simulation of a Swirling Gas-Particle Flow Using Different k-epsilon Models and Particle-Parcel Relationships
Authors: Marzouk Osama Ahmed , Huckaby E. David
Published: January 2025

We performed several numerical simulations of a co-axial particle-laden swirling air flow in a vertical circular pipe. The air flow is modeled using the unsteady Favre-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. A Lagrangian model is used for the particle motion. The results of the simulations using three versions of the k-epsilon turbulence model (standard, re-normalization group - RNG, and realizable) are compared with experimental mean velocity profiles. The standard model achieved the best overall performance. The realizable model was unable to satisfactorily predict the radial velocity; it is also the most computationally-expensive model. The simulations using the RNG model predicted extra recirculation zones. We also compared the particle and parcel approaches in solving the particle motion. In the latter, multiple similar particles are grouped in a single parcel, thereby reducing the amount of computation.

This paper explores the legal frameworks and practical challenges associated with immigration travel documents, including passports, visas, and emergency travel certificates. These documents play a critical role in facilitating international mobility while upholding national security and compliance with immigration laws. The study employs a normative-empirical approach to examine the issuance, use, and management of travel documents in the context of Indonesian immigration regulations and international standards such as the 1951 Refugee Convention and ICAO guidelines. Key findings reveal significant administrative barriers, legal inconsistencies, and human rights concerns, particularly for vulnerable groups like refugees and stateless individuals. The paper concludes with recommendations to enhance global collaboration, streamline administrative processes, and integrate advanced technologies for more effective travel document management.
Single Cell Analysis for Alzheimers Integrating Transcriptomics and Synthetic Biology
Authors: Raghavan Ramya
Published: January 2025

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterised by progressive cognitive decline. Single-cell transcriptomics has unveiled the complex cellular landscape of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), revealing distinct disease-associated cell states and gene expression profiles. This information provides a crucial foundation for leveraging the power of synthetic biology to develop targeted interventions. This paper explores the integration of these two fields, focusing on applications such as: 1) using transcriptomic data to design cell-type-specific synthetic constructs; 2) modelling and manipulating disease-relevant cell-cell interactions; and 3) engineering therapeutic cells for targeted drug delivery or immunomodulation. We discuss the potential of this integrated approach to advance our understanding of AD pathogenesis and pave the way for innovative therapeutic strategies, while also considering the associated challenges and future directions.

Published: January 2025

Reconstructions of past changes in algal community composition provide important context for future alterations in biogeochemical cycling. However, many existing phytoplankton proxies are indicative of individual algal groups and are not fully representative of the whole community. Here, we evaluated hydrogen isotope ratios of algal lipids (δ2HLipid) as a potential proxy for phytoplankton community composition. We sampled the water column of Rotsee, a small eutrophic lake in Switzerland, every second week from January 2019 to February 2020 and analyzed distributions and the relative offsets between δ2HLipid values (δ2HLipid1/Lipid2) from short-chain fatty acids, phytosterols and phytol. Comparing these data with phytoplankton cell counts, we found δ2HC16:0 Acid/Sterol and δ2HSterol/Phytol values reflect shifts in the eukaryotic algal community. To assess whether the selected phytoplankton groups were the main sources of the selected lipids, we further modeled algal δ2HLipid1/Lipid2 values based on δ2HC16:0 Acid, δ2HSterol and δ2HPhytol values from batch cultures of individual algal groups and their biovolume in Rotsee and evaluated the role of heterotrophy on δ2HLipid1/Lipid2 values using a model incorporating δ2HC16:0 Acid and δ2HSterol values from microzooplankton. Annually-integrated and amount-weighted δ2HLipid1/Lipid2 values measured in Rotsee were within 2 to 20 ‰ of the mean of modeled algal δ2HLipid1/Lipid2 values, demonstrating a strong link with the phytoplankton community composition, while δ2HLipid1/Lipid2 values including microzooplankton lipids had a larger offset. Additionally, cyanobacterial biovolume was positively correlated with the ratio of phytol and phytosterols (phytol:sterol ratio) as well as the ratio of unsaturated C18 and C16:0 fatty acids (C18:C16 ratio). Our results support the application of sedimentary δ2HLipid1/Lipid2 values in eutrophic lakes as a proxy for past phytoplankton community assemblages. Moreover, the calculation of sedimentary phytol:sterol and C18:C16 ratios provides an additional proxy for reconstructing cyanobacterial blooms.
Translating, adapting and validating the Touch Experiences and Attitudes Questionnaire (TEAQ) for the Italian population
Authors: Verga Chiara , Lisi Matteo P. , Aglioti Salvatore Maria , Fusaro Martina
Published: January 2025

Touch is fundamental to human interaction and well-being, as physical contact often conveys warmth and connection. This study translated and validated the Touch Experiences and Attitudes Questionnaire (TEAQ) in an Italian sample with the aim of offering a culturally appropriate tool to assess diverse touch-related behaviors and attitudes. The Italian TEAQ was administered to 301 participants aged 20 to 66 years (M = 31.78, SD = 10.02). A multidimensional graded response model and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to establish construct validity, while convergent validity was assessed through correlations with the Touch Avoidance Measure (TAM) and Touch Avoidance Questionnaire (TAQ). Discriminant validity was evaluated using the Big Five Inventory (BFI), and associations with mirror-touch synaesthesia (MTS) were also examined. Gender differences in touch attitudes and experiences were assessed.Results demonstrated good fit indices and supported the original six-factor structure: Friends and Family Touch (FFT), Current Intimate Touch (CIT), Childhood Touch (ChT), Attitude to Self-Care (ASC), Attitude to Intimate Touch (AIT), and Attitude to Unfamiliar Touch (AUT). Internal consistency was high across subscales (Cronbach’s α: 0.81–0.92). Significant correlations between TEAQ subscales and TAM/TAQ scores indicated good convergent validity, while generally low correlations with BFI traits supported discriminant validity, aside from expected associations with Extraversion and Agreeableness. Significant correlations between TEAQ subscales and MTS screening tool scores underscored the role of sensory processing in touch experiences. Gender differences were consistent with cross-cultural findings, with females scoring higher on FFT, CIT, and ASC, and males scoring higher on AUT.These results confirm the reliability and validity of the TEAQ within the Italian context, underscoring its utility for assessing touch attitudes and experiences. Future research should explore broader applications across varied demographics and clinical populations, especially because of the possible post-pandemic changes of attitudes towards touch.
Blossoming of Romance Language Literature Translations During the Era of Croatian Second Moderna: Translations of Spanish Literature in the Journal Krugovi
Authors: Knežević Sanja
Published: January 2025

Poets of second wave modernism in Croatian literature, and especially the generation of Krugovi journal poets, open up through translations from other literatures. There has been much talk about the importance of Anglo-Saxon translations penned by Antun Šoljan, Ivan Slamnig, and others, but it is also the generation that opened up to translations of Romance literatures. Translations from Romance literatures (especially Italian literature, and to a lesser extent Spanish) were viewed, due to post-war ideological and political circumstances, as somewhat subversive. However, with the appearance of the journal Krugovi (1952), translations of Italian, Spanish, and French literature experience a new boom. In this paper, I will examine the translation work of poet and editor of Krugovi, Nikola Milićević, and his translations of Spanish poets.

Published: January 2025

V posledných dvoch dekádach neustále rastie vedecký záujem o osobnosť prekladateľa a rolu, akú zohráva v procese prekladu. Jedným zo spôsobov, ako poraziť "neviditeľnosť" prekladateľa, je skúmať peritexty, ktoré sú v preklade zapísané. V kontexte poľsko-slovenských prekladov zanechal po sebe výraznú stopu v podobe doslovov literárny vedec a prekladateľ Jozef Hvišč. Je autorom doslovov vo všetkých svojich prekladoch poľskej literatúry do slovenčiny, ale aj vo vydaniach diel z pera iných prekladateľov. Jeho erudované peritexty zasadzujú preložené diela do literárnohistorického a literárnokritického kontextu. Takisto demonštrujú dôvody, pre ktoré bolo dielo vydané v preklade a predstavuje obohatenie prijímajúcej kultúry.
The Sahel Belt: In Search of a ‘Positive Peace’ Formula
Authors:   Professor, Leading Research Fellow, Institute of African Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Degterev Denis A.
Published: January 2025

The Sahel Belt’s contradictions have brought about a multidimensional and lasting security
crisis, which has led to the politicization of ethnic and religious differences between pastoralists
and farmers, and to the spread of jihadism and Tuareg separatism. The conflict has drawn in a
growing number of extra-regional players, both state actors and various proxies. This article
analyzes their interaction and the prospects for achieving long-term ‘positive peace’ as
interpreted by Johan Galtung.
The UN Must Again Become a Center for Harmonizing the Actions of Nations
Authors:   Russian Foreign Minister, Lavrov Sergei V.
Published: January 2025

The international community once again is facing massive challenges, just like during World
War II, which require united efforts rather than confrontation and desire for global dominance.
Russia will always advocate collective efforts, truth and the rule of law, peace and cooperation in
the interests of reviving the ideals set forth by the UN’s founding fathers.
Disruptive Technologies as a Source of Strategic Destabilization
Authors:   Research Fellow, Center for International Security, Primakov National Research Institute of World Economy and International Relations, Russian Academy of Sciences, Stefanovich Dmitry V.
Published: January 2025

Rapid technological progress and the aggravation of international relations have recently further
increased importance of disruptive military technologies for the achievement of strategic
objectives. Furthermore, the collapse of the arms control system has made the technological
dimension crucial to strategic stability. This paper details specific implementations of disruptive
technologies, considers their overall impact, and proposes ways of minimizing their destabilizing
effects.
Russian Federalism and the Rehabilitation of the Empire
Authors:   Professor, European University at St. Petersburg, Miller Alexei I. ,   Director, Center for the Study of Cultural Memory and Symbolic Politics,   Leading Research Fellow, Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: January 2025

This article rejects attempts to describe Russia within the framework of a democracy deficit,
instead considering the practices of regulating ethnic, cultural, and confessional diversity by
which Russia ensures its resilience to consistent external and internal threats to stability. To
understand Russian practices, the author proposes rehabilitating the concept of empire as an
analytical category void of negative or positive connotations.
Downward

Published: January 2025

The idea of a “ladder” implies something going up, but escalation is more like steps leading
down into depths from which it is increasingly difficult to return. In Up the Down Staircase, a
school student writes: “We’re a fast breed because we don’t know if there is time ahead or total
annihilation of Man.” Sixty years have passed since the novel’s publication. Are we still in a
hurry?
Characteristics of the Health-Related Physical Fitness Questionnaire: Serbian version
Authors: Miličković Velimir , Krneta Željko
Published: January 2025

Modern directions in the development of physical education in the world emphasize the importance of health-related physical fitness (HRPF), with special attention to the development and monitoring of knowledge about HRPF through the application of a targeted questionnaire. The main goal of this research was to analyze the characteristics of the HRPF questionnaire adapted to the Serbian language. After adjustment to Serbian language and terminology, questionnaire was administered to a sample of 270 children, 175 children of the fifth grade (11 to 12 years) and 95 children f the eighth grade (14 to15 years). In both subsamples, the questionnaire has shown good internal consistency (Cronbach's α was 0.73 for fifth grade and 0.67 for eighth grade) and good features of most questions. The results also suggested problems with three questions which needed adjustment for further use: Question Q2 - Jana wants to do something after school what would help her to become successful in the football team she plays in, she should; Question Q11 - Volleyball is good; Question Q25 - If you want to be stronger, you should. After that kind of implementation, the questionnaire can be recommended for evaluation of HRPF of older primary-school children.
Reporte de caso: os trigonum
Authors: Medina Martínez Rennie Michelle
Published: January 2025

Se describe el caso de una paciente femenina de 21 años con historial de dolor en el calcáneo derecho desde la infancia, quien acude a consulta debido a un esguince de tobillo derecho de grado II, secundario a una caída en escaleras. El examen físico revela edema, equimosis y pruebas de inestabilidad positivas. La radiografía muestra la presencia de un os trigonum, una variante anatómica asociada al síndrome del hueso trígono, caracterizado por dolor posterior en el tobillo, particularmente en actividades que implican flexión plantar repetitiva. El tratamiento consistió en inmovilización y administración de antiinflamatorios, sin evidencia de fractura. Este caso resalta la importancia de considerar variantes anatómicas como posibles causas de dolor de tobillo, especialmente en pacientes con antecedentes de esguinces recurrentes.
Deterioro cognitivo y nivel de discapacidad funcional en pacientes con antecedente de evento vascular cerebral, en la UMF 62
Authors: Guerra José Claudia Valeria , Ríos Morales Rubén
Published: January 2025

Introducción: En México, la enfermedad vascular cerebral afecta a 118 personas por cada 100,000 habitantes al año, siendo la segunda causa de muerte y la principal causa de discapacidad en los países latinoamericanos. Por ende, mi objetivo es estimar la asociación entre el deterioro cognitivo y el nivel de discapacidad en pacientes con antecedentes de evento vascular cerebral.
Métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio de tipo observacional, analítico, transversal y prospectivo en una muestra de 115 pacientes seleccionados mediante un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia y no aleatorizado. Se incluyeron pacientes con diagnóstico de enfermedad vascular cerebral, pertenecientes a la UMF 62, de ambos sexos, que hubieran otorgado su consentimiento informado. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de las variables cualitativas y cuantitativas, así como un análisis inferencial de las variables deterioro cognitivo y discapacidad funcional mediante la prueba U de Mann-Whitney, con un nivel de significancia establecido en p=<0.05.
Resultados: La presencia de deterioro cognitivo condicionó un grado de dependencia física escasa en un 27.8% (32 pacientes), moderada en un 18.3% (21 pacientes), severa en un 3.5% (4 pacientes), y total en un 6.1% (7 pacientes), en comparación con los sujetos sin deterioro cognitivo en pacientes con antecedentes de enfermedad vascular cerebral. Además, un 2.6% (3 pacientes) mostró independencia.
Conclusiones: Se concluyó que la presencia de diabetes mellitus y la hipertensión arterial se relacionan con un mayor riesgo de presentar un grado de dependencia física secundario a enfermedad vascular cerebral asociado con deterioro cognitivo.

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFP) is a chronic injury seen in both the athletic and clinical setting. Because the cause of PFP is multifactorial, health professionals need to consider muscle activity differences in women with PFP compared to healthy controls to better diagnose, prevent, and rehabilitate this injury. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine muscle activity differences during functional movements in women (N = 21) with PFP and their pain-free counterparts. Surface electromyography (sEMG) of the musculus gluteus medius (GMED), musculus gluteus maximus (GMAX), musculus abductor longus (AL), and the musculus tensor fasciae latae (TFL) in women diagnosed with PFP (n = 9; Age = 25.99 ± 8.4 years) and pain-free controls (n = 12; Age = 23.5 ± 6.5 years) during the forward lunge, lateral step down, and single leg squat. Peak muscle activity of the GMED, GMAX, and AL were not significantly different between groups for any movement; however, peak TFL activity was significantly higher in the PFP group during the descent phase (p = .015), and ascent phase (p = .010) of the forward lunge. In addition, peak TFL activity was significantly higher in the PFP group during the descent phase of the lateral step down (p = .042) and the ascent phase (p = .046) of the single leg squat. Women with PFP demonstrated higher peak TFL activity during functional movements. The results of this study provide critical information for healthcare and fitness professionals that can guide clinical assessments and treatment outcomes for individuals with PFP.
