Islamophobia in Japan: Possibilities and Controversies
Authors: Karaoğlu Yetkin , Acar Hatice
Published: December 2024

The impact of socio-political developments on a global scale has led to an increased effectiveness of the counter-theological perspective on religions and cultures in print and broadcast media, especially since the early modern period. Even in regions where there has been no significant historical or religious interaction, the influence and imprint of different religious traditions on a particular religion can be discerned. In this context, theological or religious negative approaches to Islam in Japan can be evaluated within the framework of an influence that emerged in the West with modernity and has its roots in Christian religious traditions. Conversely, an examination of the historical development of Islam in Japan reveals that the country's multicultural and religiously pluralistic structure precludes the possibility of any religious group being perceived negatively on a collective level. However, it is important to acknowledge that the process of Western-style modernisation has occasionally led to negative cultural perceptions of other religions within Western societies. Considering the historical development of Islam in Japan, the country's multicultural and religiously pluralistic structure renders the collective portrayal of any religion as negative implausible. Consequently, the potential for Islamophobia in Japan today and the grounds for the discussions around it continue in this context.
Examining the Antecedents of the Persuasiveness of Social Media Posts by Celebrity Muslim Preachers in Malaysia
Authors: Tengku Mohd Azzman Shariffadeen Tengku Siti Aisha , A Manaf Aini Maznina
Published: December 2024

As communication technology continues to evolve, this has also revolutionized how religious messages are presented on social media, particularly for celebrity Muslim preachers. They can easily connect with their followers and create da’wah messages using various social media tools, such as reels, stories, and live streams. In Malaysia, some preachers have become instant celebrities, with millions of followers who are willing to like, reshare and repost their messages. What factors though contribute to the persuasiveness of religious messages posted on social media by celebrity Muslim preachers? Elaboration likelihood model (ELM) examines the persuasiveness of messages based on how they are processed by the recipient. Accordingly, hypotheses were tested based on ELM. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional survey design with 423 university students in Malaysia. The research instrument was constructed using Google Form and distributed online among the survey respondents. They must follow at least one celebrity Muslim preacher on social media to participate in the study. Mediation and moderated mediation models (model 4 and 7) were tested using the PROCESS macro. Overall, this study provided some support for ELM; argument quality predicted both belief in da’wah messages and sharing intent. Belief mediated the relationship between argument quality and sharing intent. However, personal involvement did not moderate the relationship between argument quality and sharing intent, through belief. Implications of these findings on ELM and the persuasiveness of religious messages on social media will be deliberated.
Impact of overweight on the severity of asthma in school-based asthmatic patients aged 6 to 19 in the wilaya of Sidi Bel Abbes
Authors: MESSAFEUR Abdelkrim
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Asthma attack of the child is different from that of the adult by its
pathophysiology, its epidemiology, and its treatment. The increase in the frequency of
childhood obesity parallels that of asthma; hence the proposed hypothesis that obesity
is a risk factor for severe asthma. The objective of our study is to assess the degree
of asthma severity in overweight or obese children and adolescents. Materials and
Methods. This is a descriptive cross-sectional survey repeated over time concerning
children and adolescents with asthma in school aged 6 to 19 and living in the wilaya
of Sidi-Bel-Abbès between March and April 2016. A validated questionnaire was used
to the collection of anthropometric data and those relating to asthma. Statistical
analyzes were performed on SPSS version 21 software. Results and discussion. we
collected 432 children and adolescents with asthma, 95 of whom are overweight.
Almost all overweight and obese children and adolescents with asthma have moderate
to severe persistent asthma (41.1% moderate and 57.9% severe). Thirty percent of
obese or overweight children consider that they have uncontrolled asthma and almost
two-thirds have a significant impact of their asthma on their daily life. Conclusion.
There seems to be a link between obesity and the severity of asthma or at least
difficulty in controlling asthmatic disease.

Authors: ATHAMNIA Houda
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Colorectal cancer represents a public health problem in Algeria. The
objective of our study was to describe the clinical, anatomopathological, and
biomolecular characteristics of colorectal cancers treated in 2 medical oncology
departments in Eastern Algeria. Patients and methods. Retrospective study including
140 cases of colorectal cancer of all stages treated between January and December
2016. Results. There were 77 men and 63 women with an average age of 57 years.
Colon was the most frequent tumor (70%), followed with rectum. 65% of cases were
in the metastatic phase of the disease (stage 4). The most common histological
type was lieberkühnian adenocarcinoma. Regarding the biomolecular profile, RAS
gene mutation was present in 48% of cases. No BRAF mutations were detected.
Thirty-four percent of cases had overexpression of the P53 gene. Surgery was
performed in 75% of cases. Palliative chemotherapy was administered to 95 patients
with neoadjuvant radiotherapy in 12 patients with rectal adenocarcinoma. With a mean
follow-up of 34 months (range 24 to 147 months), the median overall survival was 42
months with a confidence interval (95% CI) of 28 to 55 months, and a 3-year overall
survival rate estimated at 57%. Different prognostic and predictive factors were
identified in univariate analysis after survival analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method
and comparison by the Log-Rank test (p <0.005). Conclusion. In this series, the study
of the epidemiological and anatomopathological profile and the univariate analysis
of overall survival rates of these different factors allowed the identification of 14
significant variables, if a larger sample would have highlighted the prognostic value of
the other factors studied in our series. A better understanding of all these factors will
ease tumor characterization and bring us closer to personalized medicine.
Hospital Use of Vancomycin and Dose Adjustment for Renal Function
Authors: Boudia Fatma
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Vancomycin is a narrow therapeutic index antibiotic used for the
treatment of infections with Gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Its use should be accompanied by a rational dosage
and regular therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). The aim of this study was to evaluate
the practices of good use of vancomycin as well as the interest of a dosage adjustment
in the event of renal dysfunction. Materials and methods. This is a descriptive and
analytic study carried out from December 2020 to June 2021 that included patients
treated with vancomycin for various infections subject to to its indication. The
vancomycin assay was performed by Enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique
(EMIT). Dosage adjustment was carried out according to the nomogram of Dettli L.
Results. Our sample consisted of 55 patients. In 84% of patients the treatment was
presented in a probabilistic manner. The discontinuous mode of administration was
used in 85% of cases. Only 36% of patients achieved the target values. For 14% of
patients the TDM was late beyond 10 days of treatment. Among the patients in the
study sample, 12% developed renal failure during treatment. Contributors to this
nephrotoxicity were troughs at 25 ng / ml lower and association with nephrotoxic drugs.
In patients with renal failure the dosage used was higher than that calculated according
to the nomogram of Dettli L. A discrepancy between the methods of dosage adjustment
of vancomycin according to the renal function estimation formula used was observed.
Conclusion. The study showed that vancomycin was not used optimally. Compliance
with good TDM practices and a good dose adjustment strategy could help improve its
efficacy and reduce its adverse effects.

The significance values for the pretest and posttest are 0.000 and 0.009, respectively, indicating that the use of differentiated learning based on learning styles can improve students' critical thinking skills. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that differentiated learning based on learning styles is effective in enhancing learning independence and critical thinking skills among students on the topic of light in grade V at SD Inpres 1 Inti Bantaya.
Study on Factors Influencing Child Abuse in Plantation Sector in Sri Lanka
Authors: Hemapriya Velaudam
Published: December 2024

Child abuse is neither a recent phenomenon nor confined to specific historical periods or cultures. It encompasses the physical and emotional ill-treatment, sexual abuse, neglect, and exploitation that harm a child’s health, survival, development, or dignity. This study focuses on the prevalence and contributing factors of child abuse in Sri Lanka, with a particular emphasis on the plantation sector. Sri Lanka is divided into urban, rural, and estate sectors, each with a distinct socio-economic status. The estate sector is more vulnerable and it faces particularly severe hardships, including inadequate resources, low literacy, economic poverty, and social marginalization. The Malayaha community has a tragic history of discrimination, exploitation and violence. Alcohol consumption is a habitual practice within this community and it leads to create domestic violence and exacerbating the vulnerabilities of children. Based on that, the study aims to identify the factors influencing child abuse in the plantation sector. This study employed qualitative methods for data collection. The tools used included direct observation, key informant interviews, FGD, and a review of secondary data. Data was gathered through open-ended individual interviews and the findings were analyzed thematically. The data collection took place in the Pupuressa Division, located in the Central Province of the Kandy District. A total of 20 key informant interviews were conducted with key professionals and conducted focus group discussions. The study revealed that the physical and social environment of the estate sector was conducive to committing child abuse. Moreover, economic difficulties within families have resulted family dysfunction, neglect of children’s basic needs, poor parenting, parental migration, emotional distress, muted voices of children, and obstacles in accessing education, healthcare, and safety. The economic structure of the estate sector has a profound influence on child protection. Mothers leave their children alone at home during working hours, unintentionally exposing them to the risk of sexual abuse. Substance abuse among estate workers further exacerbates the prevalence of child abuse. Additionally, limited access to government services in the estate sector and weak engagement with relevant agencies contribute to significant service delivery gaps. These factors increase parental economic involvement and increase the risks of children. This study recommends increased awareness among parents, particularly regarding children’s rights and the necessary protections for their well-being. Address harmful parental behaviors such as alcoholism and domestic violence and improve child protection measures. In addition, economic empowerment of families, schools, and communities is strongly recommended. Strengthening community-based child protection mechanisms is also vital. Also, enhancing law enforcement efforts and establishing strong structures to support these initiatives are recommended.

Published: December 2024

In this work, it is proposed to develop a smart contract design model event patterns-based. The use of event patterns in smart contract modeling is an emerging trend. This systematized and agile process allows, through event patterns, to reuse the knowledge and experience of previous solutions described with business patterns for the same use cases. Smart contract is programming code that is automatically executed when certain predefined conditions are met. These contracts are created and stored on a Blockchain platform, allowing for automatic execution and verification by multiple nodes on the network. Mapping the scientific literature published to date, one finds works that propose the application of patterns to the modeling of smart contracts. The results show that the use of event patterns in smart contract modeling is an emerging trend. Event patterns are used to model interactions between smart contracts and their environment, helping to improve the efficiency, security, and flexibility of smart contracts. Among the most commonly used event patterns are time patterns, flow control patterns, and communication patterns. In addition, specific tools and languages have been developed for modeling smart contracts based on event patterns. In conclusion, it is suggested that the use of event patterns in smart contract modeling is a promising trend that can significantly improve the efficiency, security and flexibility of smart contracts in various applications.

Published: December 2024

Abstract. The study of low-temperature thermochronology at plate edges provides favorable constraints for regional tectonic evolution and surface processes. Based on the existing thermochronological data of multiple cooling events since the Mesozoic era, we conducted apatite fission track and apatite (U-Th)/He studies on drilling samples from the middle and northern parts of the western margin of the Ordos Basin, revealing the uplift and cooling history and differences in the middle and northern parts of the western margin of the Ordos Basin. The new thermal history simulation results show that the Zhuozishan Mountain (Mt.) part experienced large-scale uplift in the Late Jurassic (160 Ma–150 Ma), slow uplift at 130 Ma–30 Ma, and severe uplift after 30 Ma; The Taole – Hengshanbao part began to uplift at 155 Ma–145 Ma, slowly uplifted at 145 Ma–30 Ma, and then violently uplifted; The Majiatan – Huianbao part experienced large-scale uplift at 158 Ma–137 Ma, with a slightly slower uplift rate at 137 Ma–110 Ma, and entered a severe uplift stage again at 70 Ma–50 Ma. The Late Jurassic tectonic uplift indicated by thermochronology corresponds to the formation of the western margin thrust fold structure, with the northern and southern sections starting earlier and the middle section starting slightly later. This is related to the different tectonic evolution and stress in their location, and the differences in uplift rate and time may be related to the impact of multiple Yanshanian orogeny on the region.
Estimating the variability of deep ocean particle flux collected by sediment traps using satellite data and machine learning

Published: December 2024

Abstract. The gravitational pump plays a key role in the ocean carbon cycle by exporting sinking organic carbon from the surface to the deep ocean. Deep sediment trap time-series provide unique measurements of this sequestered carbon flux. Sinking particles are influenced by physical short-term spatio-temporal variability, which inhibits the establishment of a direct link to their surface origin. In this study, we present a novel machine learning tool, designated as Unetsst-ssh, which is capable of predicting the catchment area of particles captured by sediment traps moored at a depth of 3000 m above the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (PAP), based solely on surface data. The machine learning tool was trained and evaluated using Lagrangian experiments in a realistic CROCO numerical simulation. The conventional approach of assuming a static 100–200 km box over the sediment trap location, only yields an average prediction of ∼25 % of the source region, whilst Unetsst-ssh predicts ∼50 %. Unetsst-ssh was then applied to satellite observations to create a 20-year catchment area dataset, which demonstrates a stronger correlation between the PAP site deep particle fluxes and surface chlorophyll concentration, compared with the conventional approach. However, predictions remain highly sensitive to the local deep dynamics which are not observed in surface ocean dynamics. The improved identification of the particle source region for deep ocean sediment traps can facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms driving the export of particles from the surface to the deep ocean, a key component of the biological carbon pump.
Combining observational data and numerical models to obtain a seamless high temporal resolution seasonal cycle of snow and ice mass balance at the MOSAiC Central Observatory
Authors: Itkin Polona , Liston Glen E.
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) observations span an entire annual cycle of Arctic snow and sea ice cover. However, the measurements of atmospheric and ocean forcing, as well as distributed measurements of snow and ice properties were occasionally interrupted for logistical reasons. The most prolonged interruption happened during onset of the summer melt season. Here we introduce and apply a novel data-model fusion system that can assimilate relevant observational data in a collection of modeling tools (SnowModel-LG and HIGHTSI) to provide continuous high temporal resolution (3-hourly) time series of snow and sea ice parameters over the entire annual cycle. We used this system to analyze differences between the three main ice types found in the MOSAiC Central Observatory: relatively deformed second year ice, second year ice with extensive smooth refrozen melt pond surfaces, and first year ice. Since SnowModel-LG and HIGHTSI were used in a 1-D configuration, we used a sea ice dynamics term D to parameterize the redistribution of snow to newly created ridges and leads. D correlated highly with the sea ice deformation (R2=59 %, N=33) in the vicinity of the observatory and was at times as high as 10 % of all winter snowfall. In addition, we show, in separate simulations for level ice, that snow bedforms with thin snow in the bedform troughs largely control the ice growth. Here, mean snow depth minus one standard deviation was required to simulate realistic sea ice thickness using HIGHTSI; we surmise that this is accounting for the control of relatively thin snow on local ice growth. Despite different initial sea ice thickness and freeze-up dates, sea ice thickness of level ice across all ice types became similar by early winter. Our simulations suggest that the mean (spatially distributed) MOSAiC snow melt onset began in late May, but was interrupted by a snowfall event and was delayed by 3 weeks until mid June. The level ice started to melt in the last week of June. Depending on the sea ice topography, the ice was snow-free by late June and early July.

The philosophy of humanism in Abraham Maslow's thinking and the hierarchy of individual needs provides an educational concept that highly values ​​human development. This is very much in line with Differentiated Learning. The purpose of writing this article is to describe the concept of differentiated learning and review it from the perspective of the philosophy of humanism education. This research used the literature study method to collect literature on differentiated learning and Abraham Maslow's humanism philosophy. Furthermore, the collected references will be synthesized to provide information logically, meaningfully, and analyzed descriptively and argumentatively. The study results showed that the philosophy of humanism from Abraham Maslow's thinking is very relevant to be implemented in differentiated learning. Student needs largely determine the fulfilment of needs in differentiated learning. Student needs can be met by providing differentiation of content, processes, products, and a comfortable learning environment. Therefore, differentiated learning can realize a learning process that humanizes students by applying the hierarchy of needs.
El impacto de los videojuegos deportivos en la construcción de la identidad femenina
Authors: Meléndez Guadalupe , Sanz-Marcos Paloma
Published: December 2024

Introducción: Este trabajo explora la relación entre la industria del videojuego y el deporte, dos disciplinas que tradicionalmente contribuyen a la fijación de estereotipos que infundan una realidad en torno a la mujer basada en presunciones inadecuadas y generalmente interpretadas desde una mirada masculinizada. Objetivos: Tomando como ejemplo el surf, un deporte vinculando a un entorno marcadamente masculino, este trabajo se plantea conocer cómo se representa a la mujer surfista en el videojuego para comprobar si, al igual que ocurre en el mundo real, la mujer queda despojada de toda identidad o estilo propio. Concretamente, se pretende estudiar cómo se representa a la mujer surfista en el videojuego para entender cómo afectan dichas representaciones virtuales al desarrollo identitario de las mujeres como deportistas. Metodología: Se plantea un método mixto cuyo enfoque tiene como objetivo recuperar la información desde dos perspectivas: la participante y la comunicativa. La perspectiva participante consta de una primera fase que se ejecuta a través de una experiencia inmersiva que comprende la práctica y exposición al videojuego, y una segunda fase en la que se celebra un focus group con dichas participantes para evaluar la exposición al mismo. La perspectiva comunicativa consiste en el análisis de contenido de la cuenta de Instagram del videojuego. Resultados y Conclusiones: El videojuego analizado subraya un estereotipo femenino masculinizado, sexualizado y romantizado. Se concreta que existe un estilo propio de la mujer surfista distinguido por un carácter objetificado y despojado de todo componente deportivo posible estableciéndose una relación causa-efecto entre la representación de la mujer en el videojuego y su influencia en la identidad de las mujeres como sujetos deportistas. Resulta evidente una brecha de género entre hombres y mujeres que afecta a una parcela que supera lo deportivo provocando un fuerte impacto en la percepción identitaria de las mujeres.

Akhuwat Foundation has initiated the program of interest-free micro-credit to support the financial requirements of small farmers in various districts of Punjab. This study is designed to find out whether interest-free micro-finance is sufficient for the requirements of small farmers or whether there exists a gap between demand and supply in Khanewal district. A total of 290 small farmers were selected randomly from the list available with the office of the Akhuwat Foundation. A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect information from the farmers. The logit model was used to determine the factors affecting the demand-supply gap of interest-free micro-credit. Farm size, year of schooling, farming experience, and distance of the farm from the office of Akhuwat Foundation are important determinants affecting the demand-supply gap. Minimizing the gap between supply and demand of micro-credit would benefit the small farmers in order to improve the livelihood and welfare of the poverty-stricken community.

Concepts are Containers
Authors: O’Shughnessy Robert , Sprevak Mark
Published: December 2024

In this paper, we propose and defend a theory of concepts. According to Machery (2009), psychologists and philosophers mean different things by ‘concept’. Psychologists mean bodies of knowledge used to categorise and infer; philosophers mean constituent of propositional thought. Machery’s conclusion would drive a wedge between contributions by psychologists and philosophers on concepts. Theories about the former would have no clear role to play in, and cast no light on, the latter, and vice versa. We argue that, on the contrary, ‘concept’ has a single core meaning: a container of stored knowledge pertaining to a single category. This single meaning satisfies both the theories of psychologists and philosophers. The divergence in use of the term ‘concept’ on which Machery focuses arises because words for containers are often used to refer to (a) what is contained by the container and (b) the label of a container. Our account explains what a concept is, and how one might be misled by Machery’s challenge.
