Authors: Sharma Deepak . , Gupta M. M. . , Tailor C. S.
Published: February 2023

>This study develops a standardized methodology for routine analysis of in-vitro samples of amlodipine besilate and enalapril maleate concurrently in immediate-release tablet dosage forms. UV-detection was performed at absorption maxima of 237.20 nm and 217.00 nm for amlodipine besilate and enalapril maleate, respectively; 6.8 pH phosphate buffer was used as dissolution media for 30 mintues, on USP II (Paddle) dissolution apparatus, at 50 RPM and 37.0 ± 0.5oC. The fallouts of the analysis were endorsed statistically. Results were satisfactory in the arrays of 1–19 μg mL-1 for amlodipine besilate and 1–9 μg mL-1 for enalapril maleate. The analysis results exhibited that the projected simultaneous method is modest, swift, precise, and accurate and used for the repetitive analysis of dissolution samples of amlodipine besilate and enalapril maleate in combined pharmaceutical dosage forms (tablets).

Published: February 2023

Ecuador is a country with frequent seismic and tsunamigenic events due to its close location to a subduction zone between the plates of Nazca and South America. The main objective of this study was to assess the vulnerability of the population and infrastructure of the city of Manta-Ecuador towards a tsunami event. To evaluate the infrastructures, fragility and vulnerability index functions were used, while only fragility functions were considered for the population. Manta has a population of 249,868 permanent inhabitants. The most severe tsunami scenario impacting inhabitants and buildings was selected considering historical data, mathematical modeling, characteristics of infrastructure and population. To perform the simulation, a hypocenter was proposed: 40 km northwest of Manta, 3 km oceanic depth and magnitude moment 8. The simulation results showed floods in 6% of the total area of the city. The analysis conducted by fragility functions indicated that from 2,040 exposed people, 468 would be affected, in particular minors, elderly and disabled groups, not accounting tourists. Also, 221 structures would be affected from 843 exposed in the flooded zones with a maximum flood depth higher than 5 m representing 26% and 0.2 % of the exposed and total buildings in the city respectively. The results of this study would assist in identifying risky and safe areas, shelter buildings, routes and evacuation times during a tsunamigenic event.

Published: February 2023

Isolated dysprosocenium cations, [Dy(CpR)2]+ (CpR = substituted cyclopentadienyl), have recently been shown to exhibit superior single-molecule magnet (SMM) properties over closely related complexes with equatorially-bound ligands. However, gauging the crossover point at which the CpR substituents are large enough to prevent equatorial ligand binding, but small enough to approach the metal closely and generate strong crystal field splitting, has required laborious synthetic optimization. We therefore created the computer program, AtomAccess, to predict the accessibility of a metal binding site and its ability to accommodate additional ligands. Here we apply AtomAccess to rapidly screen a series of derivatized dysprosium metallocene fragments of varying steric bulk in silico, allowing us to identify the crossover point for equatorial coordination in [Dy(CpR)2]+ cations, and hence predict a cation that is at the cusp of stability without equatorial interactions, viz. [Dy(Cpttt)(Cp*)]+ (Cpttt = C5H2tBu3-1,2,4, Cp* = C5Me5). Upon synthesizing this cation we found it crystallizes as either a contact ion-pair, [Dy(Cpttt)(Cp*){Al[OC(CF3)3]4-k-F}], or separated ion-pair polymorph, [Dy(Cpttt)(Cp*)][Al{OC(CF3)3}4]C6H6. These complexes, together with their precursors and yttrium analogs, have been characterized by NMR and ATR-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction, SQUID magnetometry and ab initio calculations. We find that the contact ion-pair shows inferior SMM properties to the separated ion-pair, as expected, due to faster Raman and quantum tunneling of magnetization relaxation processes. The experimental verification of the predicted crossover point for equatorial coordination in this work indicates that programs like AtomAccess have significant potential to boost efficiency in exploratory synthetic chemistry.
Designing Chemical Reaction Arrays using phactor and ChatGPT
Authors: Mahjour Babak , Hoffstadt Jillian , Cernak Tim
Published: February 2023

High throughput experimentation (HTE) is a common practice in the pharmaceutical industry. Medicinal chemists design reaction arrays to optimize the yield of couplings between building blocks and/or pharmacophores. Popular reactions attempted by medicinal chemists include the amide coupling, Suzuki coupling, and Buchwald-Hartwig coupling. We show how the artificial intelligence (AI) language model ChatGPT can automatically formulate reaction arrays for these common reactions based on the literature corpus it was trained on. Furthermore, we showcase how ChatGPT results can be directly translated into inputs for the HTE management software phactor, which enables automated execution and analysis of assays. This workflow is experimentally demonstrated.
Replacing the BO in BODIPY: Unlocking the Path to SBIDIPY and BIDIPY Chromophores
Authors: Korzun André , Crespi Stefano , Golz Christopher , Bismuto Alessandro
Published: February 2023

Boron-based dipyrrin chromophores (BODIPY) have found widespread application over the last twenty years in fields as diverse as medicine and materials. Thus, several efforts have been placed to exchange boron with other elements, with the aim of developing materials with complementary luminescence properties. However, despite the attempts, the incorporation of other main-group elements in dipyrrin scaffolds remains still rare. We have successfully synthesized and characterized novel chromophores based on heavy pnictogens antimony and bismuth, SBIDIPY and BIDIPY. Solution stabilities have been investigated by VT-UV/Vis spectroscopy and the fluorescence emission studied and supported by computational analysis. We were also able to isolate for the first direct analog of BODIPY containing fluoride handles, which featured a strong intensity of fluorescence emission.
Juvenile American Alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) Use Behavioral Thermoregulation to Cope with Dehydration and Salt-Loading when Chronically Exposed to 12 ‰ Saltwater

Published: February 2023

American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) are native to freshwater habitats in the Southeastern United States. These areas are susceptible to salinity increases due to extreme weather events (e.g., hurricanes) and climate change. The goal of this study was to investigate behaviors in juvenile alligators exposed to 12‰ saltwater for five weeks. Sixteen alligators were maintained in an experimental tank with 90 L of water and a heat lamp overhanging a basking plate. Observations were conducted in freshwater (prior to exposure to saltwater) and over the course of 5 weeks in 12‰ saltwater. This allowed for comparison of behaviors in freshwater and in saltwater in the same group of animals. Behaviors related to thermoregulation (basking and staying in the water) and feeding were recorded via instantaneous sampling, in which sampling intervals of 1 min occurred throughout a 20 min observation period. Saltwater-exposed alligators reduced foraging and feeding within the first week of saltwater exposure and spent significantly less time basking compared with freshwater observations. Furthermore, significantly fewer animals chose to bask over the course of 5 weeks in saltwater. A novel behavior, never seen in freshwater, was the closing of the outer eyelids when alligators were in the saltwater. Collectively, the present study demonstrates that chronic saltwater exposure has significant impact on the thermoregulatory behavior in juvenile alligators concomitantly exposed to dehydration and salt-loading without access to freshwater. As alligator hatchlings emerge during peak hurricane season, the survivability of hatchlings may be compromised if access to freshwater is unattainable.
¿Qué son las ciencias ambientales? Una introducción a sus problemas epistémicos

Published: February 2023

El presente texto busca conformar una introducción a las particularidades epistémicas de las ciencias ambientales a través de sistematizar las posturas y paradigmas que las atraviesan. Guía el texto la pregunta “¿qué es lo que hace que una ciencia sea ambiental?”. Buscamos responder esta pregunta mediante la filosofía de la ciencia de Thomas Kuhn y mediante el desarrollo y cuestionamiento de distintas definiciones de ciencias ambientales develar las bases epistémicas de las mismas. Partimos de tres definiciones de ciencias ambientales que remiten a problemas ambientales. Posteriormente, apelamos a otra definición que no acude a tales problemas para definir las ciencias ambientales. Este análisis teórico nos lleva a encontrar dos tendencias de comprensión y práctica de las ciencias ambientales que dificultan la integración de las mismas. El problema del criterio de demarcación, aparentemente sólo teórico, resulta ser un problema práctico. Según la matriz disciplinaria apelada se puede descartar o no un conocimiento o proyecto como pertinente para las ciencias ambientales, lo que afecta a los proyectos de investigación aceptados o rechazados como de ciencias ambientales en posgrados y revistas.

Authors: Morales  Castro José Antonio , Espinosa Jiménez Patricia Margarita , Castro Arturo Morales
Published: February 2023

Con la crisis Covid-19 se modificaron las variables económicas y microeconómicas de los bancos aumentando el riesgo de incumplimiento de los usuarios de créditos bancarios. Por lo cual este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar el efecto de los diferentes factores macroeconómicos y microeconómicos en la probabilidad de aumento del índice de morosidad de la banca en México. A través de un modelo de regresión logit y mediante el estadístico Wald se estimó la contribución marginal de cada una de las variables explicativas en la probabilidad de aumento del índice de morosidad para dos periodos: prepandemia y COVID-19. En los resultados obtenidos se lograron tasas de clasificación correctas mayores al 80% y únicamente el desempleo y cuatro variables microeconómicas influyen en la probabilidad de incrementar el índice de morosidad. Estos resultados pueden ser útiles para los banqueros y los supervisores de la banca en el diseño de políticas conducentes a mantener solvente la banca. En este trabajo se propusieron dos nuevas variables explicativas: el tamaño de los créditos vencidos y la proporción de créditos en relación al PIB, mismas que fueron significativas. En el periodo de COVID-19 se encontró que disminuye el efecto marginal de las variables explicativas en la probabilidad de aumentar el nivel de morosidad en comparación al periodo previo.

Authors: Rosano Reyes Enrique , Corona Jiménez Miguel Ángel
Published: February 2023

Esta investigación valoró la proximidad de las decisiones gerenciales de una universidad de México hacia la responsabilidad social universitaria humanista. Se realizó una encuesta social censada a 92 gerentes.  Se diseñó un instrumento que obtuvo un coeficiente de confiabilidad de 0.8059. Se empleó estadística descriptiva y modelaje econométrico. Se obtuvo un modelo conceptual del cual se derivó un índice de proximidad a la responsabilidad social universitaria humanista. La fortaleza en las decisiones está al considerar la misión institucional y la debilidad en la evaluación de las decisiones. La Universidad obtuvo 5.4 puntos de 10 posibles. A partir del modelo e instrumento diseñado fue posible valorar, en una escala Likert, la proximidad de las decisiones a la responsabilidad social universitaria humanista y complementa los modelos tradicionales de gestión de responsabilidad social. Las universidades aportan al desarrollo sustentable si gestionan sus decisiones gerenciales con un enfoque humanista, esto es que las decisiones procuren: el involucramiento con la realidad del entorno, contar con marcos de referencia con un enfoque humanista y de beneficio social, emprender acciones de incidencia y desarrollar mecanismos de rendición de cuentas efectivas, indicadores de transparencia e incorporación de todos los grupos de interés en los procesos evaluativos, priorizando al alumnado, a las comunidades beneficiarias y a los colaboradores internos.
La acción comunicativa como estrategia gubernamental de contención en tiempos de Pandemia: El caso de los Grupos Vulnerables
Authors: Gutiérrez García Margarita Del Carmen , Guadarrama Muñoz Alma Cossette
Published: February 2023

La actual pandemia develó la ineficacia del sistema de comunicación del gobierno mexicano para atender y contener la enfermedad producida por la COVID-19, en donde los más indefensos fueron los grupos vulnerables por sus características. En este sentido, el objetivo central del documento es proponer un mecanismo de comunicación para atender a los grupos vulnerables en tiempos de emergencias sanitarias como la del SARS-CoV-2, con base en la acción comunicativa. Para ello, el método utilizado fue el analítico-sintético con base en la teoría de la acción comunicativa de Habermas, a fin de generar una propuesta viable, inclusiva, y transfuncionalizada que permita reducir el índice de contagios y fallecimientos. El principal aporte del trabajo radica en la atención de un fenómeno como la pandemia a través del elemento de la acción social comunicativa habermasiana y la transfucionalización de Zizek. Si bien el trabajo puede ser replicado en otros Estados con escenarios que requieren atender y combatir este tipo de emergencias por medio de una acción concertada; la principal limitante del estudio radica en las particularidades de cada sociedad en la que se produce cada contexto pandémico, por ello es necesario adaptar la propuesta para que el resultado sea positivo.

This paper presents the types of meanings in the translation of English Lukeâ€™s Bible in Balinese. The Tu-Vous combined with attitude in the Appraisal Theory are utilized to evaluate the word choice of terms of address done by the translator. The results are as follows: (1) Pronouns and nouns employed among characters with different social stratification were related to power semantic. (2) Pronouns and nouns employed among characters in the same social stratification were related to solidarity semantic. (3) The addresserâ€™s attitude, either positive [+], or negative [-] in a communication situation results in meaning shift in translation.
BUDAYA INTI, SIKAP BAHASA, DAN PEMBANGUNAN KARAKTER BANGSA: KASUS PENUTUR BAHASA-BAHASA DAERAH UTAMA DI INDONESIA
Authors: Aziz E. Aminudin
Published: February 2023

This article addresses three main issues in relation to cultureâ€™s core values, language attitude and maintenance, and character building. Using a theory previously developed by Smolicz and Secombe (1985), this study deviced instruments that enabled us to understand respondentsâ€™ perceptions about their cultureâ€™s core values. The respondents were recruited voluntarily from four major speakers of local languages in Indonesia, including speakers of Javanese, Sundanese, Minangnese, and Bataknese. They were given a set of questionnaires and when relevant were interviewed to further clarify their responses. The analyses found that each group viewed their cultureâ€™s core values differently, i.e. Javanese see language as their core cultures. Sundanese believe that a real Sundanese will stay in the Sundanese Land, embrace Islam, and speak in Sundanese. They also regard traditional music of kecapi suling and Cianjuran as the real Sundanese culture. On the other hand, Minang language speakers believed that it is the ability to appreciate â€” through making and tasting â€” traditional food that has made them true Minangnese. Meanwhile, it is strongly believed that you cannot become a true Bataknese until you know, feel, and fully understand the ways people of Batak origins speak, including tone, pitch, and intonation.

Published: February 2023

The study analyses studentsâ€™ statements about plagiarism. The aim was to obtain an analytical understanding about their concepts of plagiarism in, particularly, academic writing. Respondents were 47 students of seven different universities in Java, Sumatra, Bali, and Sulawesi who were currently woking on their skripsi. The data consisted of statements they wrote to answer four open questions, including definitions of plagiarism, plagiarism practices they knew, their views of advantages and diadvantages of plagiarism, and reasons of plagiarism.The statements were analysed for their transitivity aspects by using the systemic functional linguistic procedure to identify the processes, participants, and circumstances. In this way, the particular acts of plagiarism, the objects of plagiarism, and the circumstances of plagiarism can be vividly specified. The study found that the students had good understanding concerning the acts and objects of plagiarism, but incomplete or incorrect understanding concerning the circumstances of plagiarism. It is a good sign thoughthat plagiarism was generally associated with words with unfavorable meanings, the occurrence of which being driven by circumstances beyond the studentsâ€™ control.
VERBS OF EXCRETION IN TABA
Authors: Bowden Frederick John
Published: February 2023

This paper describes an unusual pattern of argument marking found in a small number ofÂ Taba verbs, all of which have meanings relating to excretion. The verbs concerned are sio â€˜to shitâ€™, mio â€˜to pissâ€™, sito â€˜to fartâ€™, and hantolo â€˜to lay eggsâ€™. In normal usage these occur with the excretor argument obligatorily encoded twice, once as a proclitic in the same way that Actor argument are encoded on other verbs, but also as an enclitic, similar to an Undergoer argument with other verbs. While no clear rationale for why these four verbs should be treated differently from all the other verbs in the Taba lexicon, they do all express activities that the performers are only in partial control of, and these verbs may in fact constitute something like a â€˜middle voiceâ€™ in Taba.
A BRIEF GRAMMAR OF THE EASTERN ATADEI LANGUAGE OF LEMBATA, INDONESIA
Authors: KrauÃŸe Daniel
Published: February 2023

This paper aims to briefly describe the grammar of Atadei, or more precisely Eastern Atadei, an under-described Flores-Lembata language spoken by about 8,000 people in Atadei District of Lembata, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Atadei is an agglutinative language with fusional elements and SVO word order. Adjectives follow the noun they modify and are inflected in attributive position, but are not inflected when used as a predicative. Atadei verbs may agree with the subject, depending on the verb class. This is similar to Lamaholot, but the verb classes in these two languages are different. Some verbs exhibit inflection for all persons, while others do not inflect at all. Pronouns follow a complex system in Atadei, depending on their syntactic function. It is noteworthy that the Alor-Pantar languages of the neighboring islands Alor and Pantar do not belong to the Austronesian language family, and may have contributed to a Papuan substratum in Atadei, such as inalienable possession and clause-final negation (Klamer et al., 2008, p. 136).

Published: February 2023

Local wisdom is the overall cultural characteristics possessed by a society or nation as a result of their experiences in the past. This local wisdom can be in the form of rituals, customs, arts, and others. This research focuses on local Javanese arts during the New Order era. With the aim of identifying elements of local art and knowing how people think when art is only used by power as a tool of political propaganda based on the perspective of Levi Strauss' anthropological structuralism theory. This research is a qualitative research. The research data is sourced from the novel Entrok by Okky Madasari. Research data were collected using the technique of reading, listening, and taking notes. The results of data processing are realized in the form of scientific articles. Based on a search on the data, it was found that during the New Order era, local arts were controlled by the government for political purposes as indicated by the way people think, such as the figure Rahayu who criticized the function of art during the election victory; Marni's figure who disagrees with the government's policy when art is only used as propaganda; and the pragmatic and suspicious mindset of the people.Kearifan lokal merupakan keseluruhan ciri-ciri kebudayaan yang dimiliki oleh suatu masyarakat atau bangsa sebagai hasil pengalaman mereka di masa lampau. Kearifan lokal ini dapat berupa ritual, adat istiadat, kesenian, dan lain-lain. Penelitian ini berfokus pada kesenian lokal masyarakat Jawa pada masa Orde Baru. Dengan tujuan untuk mengindetifikasi unsur-unsur kesenian lokal dan mengetahui cara berpikir masyarakat saat kesenian hanya digunakan oleh kekuasaan sebagai alat propaganda politik berdasarkan perspektif teori strukturalisme antropologi Levi Strauss. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif. Data penelitian bersumber pada novel Entrok karya Okky Madasari. Data penelitian dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan teknik baca, simak, dan catat. Hasil pengolahan data diwujudkan dalam bentuk artikel ilmiah. Berdasarkan penelusuran pada data, didapati bahwa pada masa Orde Baru kesenian lokal dikuasai oleh pemerintah untuk kepentingan politik yang ditunjukkan dari cara berpikir masyarakat, seperti tokoh Rahayu yang mengkritisi fungsi kesenian kala kemenangan pemilu; tokoh Marni yang tidak setuju akan kebijakan pemerintah saat kesenian hanya digunakan sebagai propaganda; serta pola pemikiran masyarakat yang pragmatis dan mudah menaruh curiga.

Basidiomycetes of the genus Fomitopsis are an extensive group of more than 100 species that have ecosystem significance and high biotechnological potential. One of these species, Fomitopsis pinicola, is known as a widespread tinder fungus, a saprophyte that causes brown rot on deciduous and coniferous trees. The modern taxonomy of F. pinicola, economic significance, relevance of pharmacological research and the possibility of using them as medicines and food additives are discussed. F. pinicola has an important ecosystem function as it promotes the nutrient circulation in the forest. Recent studies show that this is a species complex and that morphological markers alone are not sufficient for precise identification of the species, which emphasises the importance of a molecular genetic approach to the taxonomy of this group. Although F. pinicola can be detrimental to forestry by causing rotting of wood, this basidiomycete has long been used by humans. For a long time, extracts of the conks (fruiting bodies) of F. pinicola, like many other tinder fungi, have been used by various cultures in traditional medicine, but modern pharmacological studies of the health-saving properties of the substances produced by F. pinicola are still insufficient. However, the relevance of such studies is very high, since ergosterol, fomitopic acids, and fomitosides produced by fungi demonstrate a proapoptotic effect and affect the metabolic pathway of prostaglandins. Promisingly, some compounds isolated from other Fomitopsis species have anticancer properties. Despite this, in fungal taxonomy, the correct species identification of biotechnological strains remains a problem. Due to intraspecific morphological variation, modern taxonomy emphasizes genetic markers. Here the data of molecular-genetic and phylogenetic identification of two biotechnological strains of basidiomycetes collected from the affected larch stands of the Irkutsk region are presented. Genetic identification of strains of Fomitopsis spp. was carried out using the sequence of variable regions of the ITS1 ribosomal operon. For phylogenetic analysis, ITS1 gene sequences of 25 species of basidiomycetes evolutionarily closest to Fomitopsis spp. were used. The studied strains were identified as the F. pinicola species with an accuracy of 97.98% and 99.21%, respectively. Further study of the biotechnological properties of the two identified strains of F. pinicola seems to be very relevant.

Mangifera odorata or known locally as kuini is one of the underutilized fruits in Malaysia
which belongs to the mango family (Anacardiaceae). It has been interestingly found to
contain many nutrients. Studies have shown that kuini has high antioxidant properties
including in its peel and seed. However, no studies have been conducted on the
antimicrobial activity of kuini peel and seed. This study was conducted to determine the
antibacterial activities of peel and seed of kuini in an effort to develop a functional bioingredient. Matured kuini fruits were boiled for 10 mins and steamed for 5, 10 and 15
mins, separately. Peel and seed of the fresh and heat-processed kuini were separated, dried
and ground into powder and extracted using 70% methanol as solvent. The extracts were
tested against pathogens Escherichia coli ATCC 48888, Bacillus cereus ATCC 10876,
Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium ATCC
14028 and Enterobacter aerogenes ATCC 13048 using the disc diffusion method at a
concentration of 10 mg/mL. Results showed that fresh and heat-processed peel and seed
extracts exhibited various inhibition zones against the tested pathogens. The mean for
inhibition zones ranged between 11 to 29.33 mm where fresh peel showed the biggest
inhibition zone. Penicillin 10 µg that was used as a positive control inhibited only two
pathogens. The heat processing technique was found to affect the antibacterial activity of
some of the peel and seed extracts. The antibacterial activity of peel that was subjected to
heat was found to decrease for all the pathogens tested. Seed extract showed an increase in
antibacterial activity against B. cereus when seeds were given heat treatments. Despite
being subjected to heat treatment, the peel and seed of kuini still exhibited promising
antibacterial activities. Hence, could be further utilized as a natural antibacterial agent or
potentially be developed into a functional bio-ingredient.

Безпосередньо над базовим шаром знаходяться поняття першого рівня, формування яких ґрунтується на базових (підтримуючих) знаннях. Блоки третього рівня передбачають формування понять, які безпосередньо пов’язані з програмуванням MPI та OpenMP. Шар понять і зв’язків четвертого рівня поглиблює розуміння раніше засвоєного матеріалу. Встановлено, що для переходу до роботи з паралельними бібліотеками, які в моделі посідають третій рівень, необхідно ознайомитися з поняттями першого й другого рівнів, а це передбачає наявність у студентів знань і вмінь з алгоритмізації, об’єктно-орієнтованого програмування, операційних систем, комп’ютерної схемотехніки, архітектури комп’ютерів. Тому повноцінне вивчення дисципліни «Паралельні та розподілені обчислення» не можна починати раніше третього курсу навчання.

Розглянуто результати вивчення наукової літератури та документів щодо проведення уроків фізичної культури у школах КНР, а також власні дослідження автора під час візиту до КНР з метою залучення китайського досвіду побудови системи фізичного виховання у вітчизняний науковий простір. Результати дослідження показали, що в Китаї уроки фізкультури в школі є обов’язковими, стандарти нормативів загальнодержавні, а іспит з фізкультури впливає на рейтинг випускників шкіл. Зроблено висновок про потребу в Україні інтегрувати досвід побудови системи фізичного виховання КНР, не відкидаючи досягнень радянської педагогіки, а модифікуючи їх у бік індивідуалізації навантажень; зберегти систему державного регулювання, не перетворюючи уроки фізкультури лише на ігри. Для цього варто описати та проаналізувати нормативні документи Китаю, які сприяють успішному розвитку управління якістю фізичного виховання в Китаї. Нами було використано такі методи дослідження, як: емпіричний метод спостереження, комплексний метод аналізу та синтезу. Можна визначити, що на основі аналізу нормативно-правових документів Китайської Народної Республіки виділено низку факторів, які визначили успіх в управлінні фізичним вихованням та успіх китайських спортсменів на міжнародній арені. До найважливіших факторів належать: державна підтримка спорту вищих досягнень, підготовка спортивного резерву, науково-методичне забезпечення спортивної підготовки, якісне управління освітнім процесом. Досліджено, що у Китаї спостерігаються нові тенденції в розвитку спорту: прагнення до плюралізму, децентралізації та комерціалізації, розвиток спортивної індустрії, посилення представництва та впливу країни в міжнародних спортивних організаціях, активний розвиток масового спорту.
Nation Branding and Its Roles in Shaping Domestic Travel Behaviour: A New Zealand Perspective
Authors:   , Sherborne Megan
Published: February 2023

Despite the growing body of literature on the attitudinal and behavioural implications of nation branding, as well as the importance of national citizens upholding their nation brand, gaps remain concerning what the nation means to national citizens. In response, the purpose of this thesis, which is underpinned by self-congruency theories, is to delve into the roles nation branding has domestically. Qualitative methods grounded in interpretivism, and phenomenology were used to understand how national citizens perceive various aspects of their nation, the nation’s brand, and the extent to which they behave accordingly when travelling domestically. Specifically, ten New Zealand citizens from across the country who had travelled domestically were interviewed.

In a New Zealand context, citizen’s perceptions of their nation were found to align with how their nation is branded in many respects. However, the nation brand did not show the full picture meaning aspects of the country were exaggerated or left out. Whilst this may entice international tourists to visit, it generated contestation amongst a nation’s citizens. If national citizens agreed with what the nation brand promotes, they behaved in ways that supported it when travelling domestically if they had the resources to do so. The research findings suggest that these travel behaviours are also conditional on the alignment with citizen’s intrinsic values and predisposition to behave in that way.

This study fills a need to explore nation branding through the perspective of the primary brand carriers, the nation’s own population. Based on an increased understanding of the alignment between citizen perceptions and the nation brand, and the extent of corresponding domestic travel behaviours, insight is offered to place marketers to heighten domestic support behind the nation brand.

With the rapid development of social economy and the deepening of higher education reform, college teachers in China are presenting increasingly complex and diverse characteristics. One of the main issues is that the phenomenon of job burnout is becoming increasingly rampant. Therefore, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to study the job satisfaction and burnout of university teachers to ensure effective development of universities and to improve the utilization of human resources, which will then enhance the competitiveness of universities. By analyzing the correlation between job burnout and job satisfaction, it is found that three factors of job burnout are negatively correlated with nine factors of job satisfaction, and the correlation coefficient was 0.01. It was found that the three dimensions of job burnout, which are emotional exhaustion, low achievement, and depersonalization of teachers has a direct negative predictive effect on the nine variables of job satisfaction of teachers, among which salary and welfare had the strongest predictive ability.

WhatsApp adalah aplikasi perpesanan yang memungkinkan pengguna berinteraksi melalui pesan teks, gambar, video, dan bahkan percakapan telepon antar individu maupun individu dengan kelompok. Grup Whatsapp keluarga adalah contoh nyata interaksi individu dengan kelompok yang nyata di masyarakat namun fungsi grup-grup Whatsapp telah beralih menjadi wadah untuk berbagi omong kosong, lelucon, dan bahkan hoax. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap pengalaman subjek sebagai terdampak persebaran hoax melalui grup Whatsapp keluarga, bagaimana subjek menyikapi perdebatan didalam keluarganya, dan apa implikasinya terhadap dirinya sendiri maupun keluarganya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode fenomenologi. Subjek terdiri dari 8 orang yang ditentukan secara purposif dengan melihat dan mempertimbangkan seberapa aktif diskusi yang terbentuk pada grup Whatsapp keluarganya. Data dirangkum melalui wawancara semi terstruktur. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan tiga tema dominan, yaitu pengalaman hoax dalam keluarga, perdebatan didalam keluarga, dan presepsi dan harapan terhadap keluarga yang diharapkan oleh subjek selaku penerima hoax. Secara umum penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa generasi muda cukup mampu dalam menyaring berita-berita mana yang benar atau hoax sedangkan orang tua lebih sering menerima informasi begitu saja tanpa diikuti dengan literasi yang mumpuni. Hal ini yang kemudian membuat grup Whatsapp keluarga malah menjadi sebuah tempat perdebatan antar dua kubu anggota keluarga. Terdapat keresahan jika terjadi perdebatan didalam keluarga subjek namun subjek juga menerima hal tersebut dan memberikan pengertian berupa literasi yang cukup terhadap anggota keluarga yang lain terkait berita-berita yang belum diketahui kebenarannya.

Due to the unprecedented faculty closures, the COVID-19 pandemic has rendered online learning as one of the most effective tools for maintaining access to higher education. While there is a growing body of literature investigating the pedagogical aspect of online learning, less attention has been paid to address the issue of online research supervision. This qualitative study investigated preclinical students’ perceptions and experiences of different feedback channels during online research supervision. A total of 113 (n=66 females, n=47 males) preclinical students volunteered for the focus group discussions. The data were analysed using a hybrid inductive and deductive analysis approach. Findings revealed three overarching themes: (1) diversified personal input, (2) responsive to socio-emotional needs, and (3) prompt for actions. These findings showed that preclinical students received various feedback through different channels during their online research supervision. Most importantly, this study indicated that personalising feedback channel within an online research supervision serves as the key in supporting and sustaining preclinical students’ research progress, especially during critical times. The findings of this study can be used as a guide for supervisors who are doing remote online research supervision to focus on personalising feedback channels in response to individual students' learning demands and circumstances.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have various applications such as their use in the medical field. As they have been reported to show antimicrobial and anti-tumor effects. The main purpose of the current study was to explore the anti-cancer effects of AgNPs administration alone or in a combination with cisplatin (CP) against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in rats. Seventy-five rats (Sprague Dawley albino rats) were used in the present study. Rats were assigned to 5 groups. Group 1 served as normal control. Group 2 was injected intraperitoneally (IP) with a single dose (200 ml/kg) of diethylnitrosamine (DEN), then one week later carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was injected IP (0.2 ml/kg) two times weekly for 14 successive weeks for the induction of HCC. Group 3 was treated with AgNPs (4 mg/kg) daily. Group 4 was treated with CP (6 mg/kg) once a week. Group 5 was treated with a combination of AgNPs (4 mg/kg/daily) and CP (2.5 mg/kg/weekly). Groups 3, 4, and 5 were treated for 3 successive weeks after induction of HCC. Hematological, biochemical, antioxidant activities, proinflammatory cytokines, and apoptotic genes were evaluated in the current study. Hematological results denoted normocytic normochromic anemia in all examined groups except group 2 which showed macrocytic hypochromic anemia, with thrombocytopenia and leukocytosis in all groups. Significant hypoproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia, and hypoglobulinemia were detected in all groups, with no significant changes (P < 0.05) in globulin in group 5. Significantly decreases in GSH and SOD were recorded in all groups. While the serum AST, ALT activities, and levels of total bilirubin, urea, creatinine, IL-6, TNF-α, AFP, VEGF, BAX, and caspase-3 were markedly elevated. The results revealed a remarkable improvement in group 4  than groups 3, and 5. The obtained results were supported by immunohistochemical and histopathological investigations of the liver tissue.
