Published: October 2023

The adversity quotient is essential especially among individuals in the clinical setting. The study aims to determine the role of social support and self-acceptance to the level of adversity quotient among rehab patients. The social support was measured in terms of emotional, companionship, informational, and tangible support. Control, ownership, reach, and endurance were the variables to measure adversity quotients. The respondents were 106 residents from private drug treatment and rehabilitation centers in the Philippines. The findings revealed that the patients have a high level of social support and self-acceptance and low level of adversity quotient. Social support and self-acceptance have significant positive relationships with control which suggests that the external support received by the residents and unconditional acceptance of oneself contributes to better handling of adversities in the life of the residents. Moreover, emotional, companionship, and tangible support and self-acceptance helps the residents not to suffer from the consequences of their negative experiences. The study recommends the importance of strong social support and self-acceptance in the residents’ ability to deal with adversities in life. Results and implications are further discussed in the study

Authors: Djaja Benny , Francis Teddy
Published: October 2023

Marriage is an important institution in society, which has a function to legalize the legal relationship between a man and a woman. To achieve a marriage that is considered legal, a marriage requires a recognition from the religion of each wedding couple. However, because Indonesia's population is diverse and plural in nature, the laws and religious norms that are expected to regulate these matters are still not unified and plural. On the other hand, to reduce the number of illegal marriages, courts in Indonesia allow interfaith marriages based on the Population Administration Law of Indonesia.

This study aims to describe the understanding and expectations of parents towards children with Intellectual Disability (ID). Children with ID have advantages, they have the potential to win, even at the level of world championships, such as the Special Olympics. However, there are still parents of children with ID who do not know their child's potential. They still wonder about what they can expect from children with ID. In addition, although parents of children with ID help their children in therapy, there are still some of them who do not fully understand the concept of ID. To find out aspects of understanding and expectations of parents of children with ID, the researchers conducted interviews with four parents (mothers) of children with ID. Researchers explored the understanding of parents (mothers) regarding what they know about the concept of ID. In addition, researchers also explored their expectations for their children with ID. This research used two questionnaires, namely the Parent’s Understanding of ID Scale and the Parental Expectations on ID Scale. The Parent's Understanding of ID Scale consists of 50 items, while the Parental Expectations on ID Scale consist of 10 items. These two scales were developed by researchers based on various literatures. Based on the interviews related to understanding ID, the results obtained: (a) parents stated that they lack information about ID, (b) parents began to know that their children have ID when their children were unable to speak at the age of 12 months, and (c) parents were told by doctor that if the child is unable to walk until the age of 18 months, it is one of the signs that the child has ID. Regarding the expectations toward children with ID, the results show that parents expect: (a) their children will not experience bullying in the community, (b) their children will easily find schools that are suitable for ID, and (c) parents can accompany their children, especially if they are outside.

Authors: Imad Ait Lhassan  , Ikram El Hachimi  , Manal Ezekari
Published: October 2023

Entrepreneurship is a real actor not only in the development of society but also in societal change and its emergence leads to a more open economy where innovation, business creation, and multiplication of innovative projects have become, in all sectors, engines of wealth, growth and employment.

Nowadays, entrepreneurship has given birth to several concepts. One such concept, entrepreneurial orientation (OE), is the subject of our article, which according to (Lumpkin & Dess, 1996; Wiklund & Shepherd, 2003), means the strategic decision-making of companies on the entrepreneurial level. Thus, any company with an entrepreneurial orientation must be characterized by risk-taking, innovation and proactivity. Hence the multidimensional particularity of this concept. This entrepreneurial orientation is essential for any company wishing to renew itself, develop and improve its performance in a dynamic, changing and uncertain environment.

Ultimately, the purpose of this article is to elucidate through a survey based on a questionnaire conducted in the field with 130 SMEs in the northern region of Morocco. The study showed a favorable result confirming our central hypothesis.

Therefore, our work would be respectively theoretical and practical. The first part will be devoted to the conceptual foundations of our study while highlighting the literature review through the presentation of different research works and then exposing the methodology adopted and the main features of our sample. Consequently, our second part will be devoted to presenting and discussing the empirical results obtained.

Authors: Yanka Fitriyane  , Dr. Raldi Hendrotoro Seputro Koestoer
Published: October 2023

Using synthetic chemicals in agriculture has adversely affected the environment and health, such as soil nutrient depletion, ecosystem damage, eutrophication, the accumulation of hazardous substances in the human body, and respiratory illnesses. Efforts to meet food needs have triggered agricultural intensification by applying excessive chemical fertilizers and pesticides and planting plant varieties that are greedy for nutrients. If allowed to continue, it will lead to a significant decline in the quality of agricultural land. One of the things that can reduce farmers' dependence on external inputs is organic farming. This method can increase soil fertility by increasing the number of organisms in the soil. This research aims to analyze the existing implementation of organic agriculture, considering environmental, social, and economic factors.

Meaning and Usages of Polysemy and Collocation in Nigerian English
Authors: Dr. Eventus Edem
Published: October 2023

This work examines the existence, meaning and usage of Polysemy and Collocation in the Nigerian variety of English. English, as a cosmopolitan language, has different varieties spoken in different parts of the world. These varieties are determined based on the different environments they operate and how unique they appear in these environments. On this parameter, this work highlights the uniqueness of English spoken in the region of Nigeria under the linguistic elements of polysemy and collocation. Extracts from three (3) novels by Nigerians, namely: June 12, Devil's Pawn and Things Fall Apart, constitute data for the study. This work adopts systemic Functional Grammar as its theoretical framework: the aim is to focus on the functionality and acceptability of these nativized expressions and not their form or grammaticality. This work notes that some expressions in Nigerian English are direct transliterations from the local languages. Culture plays an important role in the legitimacy of Nigerian English. Many English words connote different meanings in the Nigerian context as opposed to an L1 Speaker of English. This work concludes the fact that polysemy and collocation co-exist as part and parcel of the concept of Nigerian English, which is a distinct variety within the world Englishes.

The Design of a Solar Car was carried out, and its reality, feasibility, and workability in Nigeria were visualized. The sustainability was carried out by accessing and quantifying the optimal solar radiation in Nigeria using Imo State Polytechnic Umuagwo Ohaji, Imo State site as a case study. The Solar radiation on a horizontal plan and an inclined plan was calculated and quantified and their various values were compared and it was discovered that the radiation on an inclined plan was higher. The optimal mean monthly global radiation was calculated and adopted.

Due to the constant dynamic nature of a car, the optimal mean monthly daily average tilt angle was calculated and adopted as 15.390. The optimal mean monthly average daily tilt angle was used in the design of the car roof, such that the solar panel mounted on it will be inclined at 15.390 to ensure the maximum hardness of the optimal solar radiation. The solar energy generated is connected to the batteries via the solar charging controller. The battery connects two 12v by 100Am batteries in series. The batteries generate electric current to the D.C motor connected to the car gear through a pulley system mechanism. The gear powers and controls the movement of the car to any location.

Nationwide Demand Modeling for an Urban Air Mobility Commuting Mission
Authors: Kotwicz Herniczek Mark T. , German Brian J.
Published: October 2023

In this paper, we present a comprehensive and reproducible urban air mobility (UAM) demand model centered around publicly available data and open source tools capable of demand estimation at the national level. A discrete mode-choice demand model is developed using longitudinal origin–destination employment statistics flow data, American community survey economic data, and the Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) to identify the utility of a UAM commuter service relative to other modes of transportation. Using the implemented model, we identify New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles as cities with the highest potential commuter demand, and Seattle as the city most resilient to increases in delay time. A sensitivity study of demand is performed and shows that strong demand exists for short trips with low total delay times and for longer trips with a low ticket price per kilometer, with the former showing resilience to increases in operational costs and the latter showing resilience to increases in delays. The demand model is supported by a speed-flow model, which fuses highway performance monitoring system data with OpenStreetMap data to provide traffic-adjusted road segment speeds to OSRM. The speed-flow model has the capability of providing congestion data for road segments across the United States without the use of commercial data sets or routing services and is shown to improve routing duration accuracy in congested regions.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the change in minimal important change (MIC), patient acceptable symptom state (PASS), and treatment failure (TF) thresholds for the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) from 3 to 12 months following arthroscopic meniscus surgery.

DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.

METHODS: We included patients from the Knee Arthroscopy Cohort Southern Denmark who had meniscus surgery between 2013 and 2015. We calculated the interpretation threshold values for MIC, PASS, and TF using an anchor-based adjusted predictive modeling method. Thresholds at 3 and 12 months postoperatively were compared to evaluate changes over time.

RESULTS: The proportions of people who reported a clinically relevant improvement, or their symptoms being acceptable, increased by 10% to 15% points from 3 to 12 months after surgery. MIC thresholds for the 5 KOOS subscales remained stable from 3 to 12 months with statistically nonsignificant differences (95% confidence intervals) ranging from −0.3 (−3.0, 2.6) to −2.4 (−6.1, 1.3). All PASS thresholds except for quality of life (QOL) decreased by −6.5 (−11.8, −1.5) to −3.7 (−7.1, −0.4) points, indicating that higher symptom levels were accepted at 12 months. In contrast, the proportion reporting their treatment to have failed remained stable over time (19% and 17%). For QOL, a 7.4 (2.0, 13.2) higher TF threshold at 12 months suggested that improved QOL was required to not consider that the treatment had failed.

CONCLUSION: More patients reported being improved at 1 year compared to at 3 months following meniscus surgery. The KOOS MIC thresholds were stable over time, whereas time-specific PASS values should be applied after meniscus surgery. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2023;53(11):685-702.

Fire pump is a pump that is used to move water from the firewater reservoir to the location of the fire. If there is damage to this pump, the fire that occurs cannot be resolved quickly so that the impact of damage caused by fire becomes more widespread. Various problems can occur in the operation of the pump, one of which is damage to the bearings and shaft, noise occurs, decreased capacity, and even a decrease in pump efficiency. So to prevent the risk of greater damage and minimize losses in terms of cost and time, it is necessary to carry out maintenance. One of the efforts to detect damage to the pump is by vibration analysis, where from the vibration characteristics that occur, the type of damage can be determined. The purpose of this study was to determine the vibration characteristics that occur in the PEM Akamigas Cepu fire pump, by monitoring conditional vibrations using a vibration analyzer. The method is to attach the transducer to a predetermined location to determine the vibration spectrum that occurs in the axial, radial and tangential directions, then analyze the type of damage so that appropriate maintenance actions can be taken. As a result, this pump is indicated to be experiencing extreme looseness or bearing clearance problems at the pump drive end and pump non drive end as well as experiencing moderate pump imbalance, so it needs to be repaired immediately to avoid more serious damage.
Implementation of computational strategies to combat drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is an infectious pathogen that causes tuberculosis (TB). Even though it is curable, the first-line anti-TB medication rifampicin has been a source of rising concern for human health across the globe. However, rifampicin resistance results from mutations in the RNA polymerase's binding site of the target protein. This infectious pathogen can survive in macrophages and can induce a long-lasting latent infection. The prolonged survival of mycobacterial species was achieved with the aid of serine/threonine protein kinase G (PknG) which performs a preventive role in this situation. Thus, PknG is believed to be an essential target to prevent the pathogen from entering the latency stage. The present investigation was oriented towards molecular-based virtual screening carried out using AutoDock for the FDA-approved and nutraceutical subsets of compounds from the DrugBank repository. Initially, a total of 3035 compounds were screened based on their absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) properties. The screened molecules were taken for docking purposes after which post-docking analysis was performed by calculating the random forest (RF) score. Further, the structural characterization of hit compounds was validated using interaction studies and in silico bioactivity prediction studies. Finally, the anti-myotubular activity prediction was carried out in the search for potential inhibitors. Importantly, four potential ligands, namely DB00080, DB00807, DB06249 and DB06274 were preferred after a thorough investigation. These ligands showed significant structural and protein-ligand interactions, suggesting that they might be potentially used as therapeutic candidates to combat MTB.

The jamun fruit, Syzygium cumini, is known for its significant antioxidant and antigenotoxic characteristics in addition to its antidiabetic effects. Although numerous plant parts are utilized in herbal preparations, the chemical makeup of the fruit and seed is little understood. The high phenolic content of the seed was recently reported. In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from Syzygium cumini are synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their antioxidant characteristics (SC). SC seed extract was used to make ZnO NPs which were then studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Several doses of nanoparticles were used in antioxidant assays such as the reducing power assay, the 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay and the hydrogen peroxide assay. It was discovered that the antioxidant activity increased along with the NP content.

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest tumors in women, with a high mortality rate brought on by the lack of early detection. In this work, our main aim is to find promising biomarkers and pertinent mechanisms. GSE36668 was chosen from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using the GEO2R tool. To forecast gene ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment, online tools from ToppGene, FunRich and DAVID were employed. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network is built via STRING v.11.5 and Cytoscape v.3.9.1. Following the detection of the hub genes, a Kaplan-Meire plotter was used to conduct additional validation survival analyses. A total of 1556 DEGs were identified using GEO2R, out of which 697 were upregulated and 859 were downregulated. According to GO analysis, DEGs were much more common in the online tools DAVID and ToppGene for cell adhesion, axoneme assembly and cilium assembly in the biological processs whereas cell surface is an essential component of the plasma membrane and extracellular matrix in the cellular component. In contrast, the plasma membranes are present in DAVID and FunRich. The DEGs are mostly linked to the MAPK, PI3K-Akt and RAP1 signaling pathways in KEGG and in the Reactome pathway, they are involved in cell-cell communication, cell and cell-cell junction organization The PPI network construct was used to find the gene clusters and to identify the hub genes MAPK1, CDH1, CBL and CCND1 by Cytoscape. The survival analysis of this hub gene CBL showed high expression in ovarian cancer which led to fewer survival chances. According to this study, ovarian cancer biomarkers are crucial to understand the molecular causes of the disease.
