A Fervent Crusade for the National Soul
Authors: Muñoz-Rojas Catalina
Published: July 2024

A Fervent Crusade for the National Soul examines the implementation of cultural policies in relation to the contested configuration of citizenship in Colombia between 1930 and 1946. At a time when national identities were re-imagined all over the Americas, progressive artists and intellectuals affiliated with the liberal governments that ruled Colombia established an unprecedented bureaucratic apparatus for cultural intervention that celebrated so-called “popular culture” and rendered culture a social right. This book challenges pervasive narratives of state failure in Colombia, attending to the confrontations, negotiations, and entanglements of bureaucrats with everyday citizens that shaped the relationship between the ruler and the ruled. Catalina Muñoz argues that while culture became an instrument of inclusion, the liberal definition of popular culture as authentic and static was also a tool for domination that reinforced enduring structures of inequality founded on region, race, and gender. Liberals crafted the state as the paternalistic protector of acquiescent citizens, instead of a warden of political participation. Muñoz suggests that this form of governance allowed the elites to rule without making the structural changes required to craft a more equal society.

ramal86_86@mail.ru Abstract. Hydrotechnical devices are complex engineering tools that use natural water resources for various purposes and are applied to eliminate the harmful and destructive effects of water. Although the hydrotechnical facilities built on and outside water bodies are used to protect the environment from the harmful effects of water, if their protection is not properly organized, the groundwork for the occurrence of more serious consequences - submergence and destructive floods is created. Natural water bodies - rivers, lakes, sea, etc. Being an integral element of the environment, it occupies one of the special places among natural resources due to its importance and areas of use. The water demand of people, production and all economic sectors is met at the expense of natural water bodies, that is, surface and underground water sources. Keywords: Hydrotechnical devices, safety criterion, durability, reservoirs, emergency situations

Published: July 2024

Inflation and economic growth are two macroeconomic phenomena that are interrelated and have significant implications for the stability and economic welfare of a country. Inflation, which is measured as the general increase in the price of goods and services over time, can affect various aspects of the economy, including people's purchasing power, investment levels, and consumption decisions. This study uses a quantitative approach with a panel data regression method to analyze the influence of inflation on economic growth in Indonesia using the Eviews 12 application. The results of this study indicate that the influence of inflation on economic growth is not strong enough to be considered statistically significant in the period analyzed. Although there was a small positive effect of inflation on economic growth, these results showed that inflation was not the main factor affecting economic growth in Indonesia during the period. Therefore, policymakers must consider other factors that may have a more significant influence in formulating effective economic strategies.
How the Use of prep (Pre-exposure Prophylaxis) Helps to Prevent HIV Infection in Malaysia
Authors: Yong Dixon , Salibi Ghassan , Tzenios Nikolaos
Published: July 2024

Background: HIV remains a significant public health challenge in Malaysia, affecting key populations such as men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender individuals, sex workers, and people who inject drugs (PWID). Despite advancements in prevention and treatment, HIV continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has emerged as a promising biomedical intervention, utilizing antiretroviral tablets (ARVs) to significantly reduce the risk of HIV infection in HIV-negative individuals. Methods and Materials: This study investigates the effectiveness of PrEP in preventing HIV transmission among high-risk groups in Malaysia. The research examines the mechanism of action of the two primary drugs used in PrEP—tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC)—and analyzes data from various studies, including the iPrEx, Partners PrEP, PROUD, and IPERGAY studies. Additionally, it addresses the challenges of implementing PrEP in Malaysia, such as stigma, adherence issues, and integration with existing HIV services. Results: PrEP has shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection by more than 90% when used consistently. The iPrEx study demonstrated a 44% reduction in HIV risk, increasing to 92% with consistent use. The Partners PrEP study indicated a 75% reduction, with a potential 90% decrease with strict adherence. The PROUD and IPERGAY studies reinforced these findings, showing 86% reductions in HIV risk. Despite its proven efficacy, the implementation of PrEP in Malaysia faces barriers such as stigma, prejudice, and adherence challenges. Conclusion: PrEP is a highly effective strategy for reducing HIV transmission among high-risk populations in Malaysia. To maximize its potential impact, it is crucial to address barriers to implementation, including stigma, adherence issues, and integration with existing healthcare services. Mathematical modeling suggests that widespread PrEP use could lead to a significant decrease in new HIV infections, potentially reducing cases among MSM by 30% over a decade. Learning from successful PrEP programs in other countries, Malaysia should focus on supportive policies, community engagement, affordability, and adherence support to effectively combat the HIV epidemic.

Covid-19 In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesia, as declared a national disaster by President Joko Widodo through Presidential Decree No. 12 of 2020, has transitioned into an emergency response phase for non-natural disasters. The World Health Organization labeled COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. The pandemic has significantly disrupted various aspects of daily life, notably the education sector. To maintain educational continuity amidst this crisis, the Indonesian government implemented online learning policies. This shift from traditional face-to-face instruction to distance education poses unique challenges, especially for elementary and kindergarten students. This journal explores the impact of these public policies on teaching and learning during the pandemic, using a descriptive-analytical literature review. Findings reveal that while technology facilitates continued education, it also introduces challenges related to academic culture, values, attitudes, skills, and technological readiness. The study underscores the crucial role of technology in bridging the gap created by the pandemic and highlights the need for addressing associated obstacles to enhance the effectiveness of online education.

Incomplete Hippocampal Inversion (IHI), sometimes called hippocampal malrotation, is an atypical anatomical pattern of the hippocampus found in about 20% of the general population. IHI can be visually assessed on coronal slices of T1 weighted MR images, using a composite score that combines four anatomical criteria. IHI has been associated with several brain disorders (epilepsy, schizophrenia). However, these studies were based on small samples. Furthermore, the factors (genetic or environmental) that contribute to the genesis of IHI are largely unknown. Large-scale studies are thus needed to further understand IHI and their potential relationships to neurological and psychiatric disorders. However, visual evaluation is long and tedious, justifying the need for an automatic method. In this paper, we propose, for the first time, to automatically rate IHI. We proceed by predicting four anatomical criteria, which are then summed up to form the IHI score, providing the advantage of an interpretable score. We provided an extensive experimental investigation of different machine learning methods and training strategies. We performed automatic rating using a variety of deep learning models (”conv5-FC3”, ResNet and ”SECNN”) as well as a ridge regression. We studied the generalization of our models using different cohorts and performed multi-cohort learning. We relied on a large population of 2,008 participants from the IMAGEN study, 993 and 403 participants from the QTIM and QTAB studies as well as 985 subjects from the UKBiobank. We showed that deep learning models outperformed a ridge regression. We demonstrated that the performances of the ”conv5-FC3” network were at least as good as more complex networks while maintaining a low complexity and computation time. We showed that training on a single cohort may lack in variability while training on several cohorts improves generalization (acceptable performances on all tested cohorts including some that are not included in training). The trained models will be made publicly available should the manuscript be accepted.

Migrants Stock And Income: A Zoological Analysis Of The Remittance Flow Between India And 31 Pairs Of Countries
Authors: Britto Dr. Singarayar , Chowdary Dr. R. Mahendranath , DEFALLA Dr. BASIL MAHMOD ALI , Mittal Prof. Monika
Published: July 2024

This research delves into the complex dynamics of remittance flows between India and 31 pairs of countries through a unique zoological lens, offering a novel perspective on the migratory patterns and financial implications of these flows. With the increasing interconnectedness of the global economy, remittances have emerged as a vital component of international migration. This study employs a zoological analogy to better understand the behaviors and patterns of these financial transfers, akin to the diverse species in an ecological ecosystem. Through a comprehensive analysis of migrants' stock and income levels, we investigate the multifaceted relationships between India and its partner countries, dissecting the characteristics that define these remittance flows. This analysis not only considers the raw numbers and amounts of remittances but also explores the underlying factors, including socio-economic conditions, policies, and historical ties, which shape the migration corridors. Our zoological analysis reveals that remittance flows can be likened to various species in the animal kingdom, each with its unique traits and contributions to the ecosystem. Some flows may resemble migratory birds, representing consistent and reliable remittances over time, while others may be more akin to elusive predators, with sporadic and unpredictable contributions. The study further examines the impact of remittances on the economic well-being of both sending and receiving countries, shedding light on the intricate interplay between migrants' income levels and the socio-economic environments they inhabit. We identify how remittances can act as economic stabilizers, enhancing financial security for families in the source countries and boosting economic development in the recipient nations. The zoological approach to the analysis of remittance flows between India and 31 pairs of countries offers a fresh perspective that can enhance our understanding of this vital aspect of international migration. By recognizing the diverse "species" of remittance flows and their roles within the global ecosystem, policymakers and researchers can better tailor strategies to optimize the benefits and mitigate the challenges associated with these financial transactions.

Stingless bees are spread across several islands in Indonesia, including Sulawesi. There have been no reports of daily activity of stingless bees in West Sulawesi Province. Therefore, this study aims to identify types of stingless bees in West Sulawesi, measure their daily activities, and their relationship with environmental parameters. The research was conducted in the highlands (Taupe Village, Mamasa Regency, 1,340 m dpl) and the lowlands (Mirring Village, Polewali Mandar Regency, 63 m dpl). Daily activity data collected which includes the activities in and out of the nest, carrying pollen, and throwing away rubbish. Daily activity observations use the scan sampling method. The results of the research show that the type of bee in Taupe Village is Wallacetrigona incisa (Sakagami & Inoue), while in Mirring Village is Tetragonula sapiens (Cockerell). There was no significant difference in the daily activity of W. incisa in the highlands and T. sapiens in the lowlands (P > 0.05). Significant differences were seen between the activities of leaving and entering the nest and the activities of carrying pollen and throwing away rubbish (P < 0.05). Wind speed is an environmental parameter that influences pollen-carrying activity in T. sapiens in the lowlands (r = 0.83; P = 0.002). Environmental parameters greatly influenced the daily activity of W. incisa at 12.00 pm, with an influence of 93% (P < 0.05). The results of this study indicate that differences in the type and habitat of bees and environmental factors cause differences in the daily activity of stingless bees.

Background: Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a promising treatment modality for melanoma in situ (MIS). However, variations in surgical technique limit the generalizability of existing data and may impede future study of MMS in clinical trials. Methods: A modified Delphi method was selected to establish consensus on optimal MMS techniques for treating MIS in future clinical trials. The Delphi method was selected due to the limited current data, the wide range of techniques used in the field, and the intention to establish a standardized technique for future clinical trials. A literature review and interviews with experienced MMS surgeons were performed to identify dimensions of the MMS technique for MIS that (1) likely impacted costs or outcomes of the procedure, and (2) showed significant variability between surgeons. A total of 8 dimensions of technical variation were selected. The Delphi process consisted of 2 rounds of voting and commentary, during which 44 expert Mohs surgeons across the United States rated their agreement with specific recommendations using a Likert scale. Results: Five of eight recommendations achieved consensus in Round 1. All 3 of the remaining recommendations achieved consensus in Round 2. Techniques achieving consensus in Round 1 included the use of a starting peripheral margin of ≤5 mm, application of immunohistochemistry, frozen tissue processing, and resecting to the depth of subcutaneous fat. Consensus on the use of Wood’s lamp, dermatoscope, and negative tissue controls was established in Round 2. Conclusions: This study generated 8 consensus recommendations intended to offer guidance for Mohs surgeons treating MIS. The adoption of these recommendations will promote standardization to facilitate comparisons of aggregate data in multicenter clinical trials.

Published: July 2024

The importance of drones has evidently increased in various aspects of daily life, such as defense, agriculture, disaster management, and more. Drone propellers are crucial for generating the lift and propulsion necessary for steady flight. Efficient propeller design is critical for maximizing flight time and maneuverability in drones. We are currently investigating the impact of different propeller designs on drone performance. Our research focuses on optimizing propeller characteristics to ensure optimal propulsion and overall functionality. By testing three airfoil designs and systematically varying the angle of attack and pitch, we aim to understand how these changes influence the propeller's efficiency and effectiveness. The CFD-based analysis primarily evaluates parameters such as the lift-to-drag ratio and RPM to determine the most suitable design for drone operations. Through extensive analysis and data collection, the study seeks to identify settings that balance performance metrics, ultimately enhancing the drone's functionality. Based on insights from the analysis, various iterations and refinements have been carried out to draw informed conclusions about the most effective propeller design for drone applications.

Authors: Jiany Longe , Xiu Weneewen
Published: July 2024

Background The purpose of the meta-analysis was to evaluate and contrast Chinese herbal medicine's effectiveness as a supplement to conventional treatment for diabetic foot ulcers. Methods The results of this meta-analysis were analyzed using dichotomous or contentious random or fixed effect models, and the odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% CIs were calculated. 1140 individuals with diabetic foot ulcers were included in the 17 exams that were enlisted for the current meta-analysis, which ran from 2006 to 2021. Results When compared to standard treatment, Chinese herbal medicine significantly increased the overall effective rate (OR, 2.77; 95% CI, 1.89-4.07, p<0.001), reduced the size of the wound after treatment (MD, -2.44; 95% CI, -3.46- -1.43, p<0.001), decreased the number of patients who did not improve (OR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.15-0.45, p<0.001), and shortened the time it took for diabetic foot ulcers to heal (MD, -10.46; 95% CI, -14.91- -6.37, p<0.001). The number of patients who experienced a 30% or greater decrease in the ulcer area of their diabetic foot ulcer did not, however, differ significantly between Chinese herbal medicine and standard treatment (OR, 2.69; 95% CI, 0.70-10.30, p=0.15). Conclusions According to the data analyzed, Chinese herbal medicine had a significantly higher overall effective rate, a smaller post-treatment wound, fewer patients who did not improve, and a shorter healing period for diabetic wound ulcers. However, there were no appreciable differences in the number of patients who experienced ulcer area reductions of 30% or more when compared to standard treatment for diabetic foot ulcers. However, given the majority of the chosen tests had small sample sizes and certain comparisons had few chosen studies, care should be taken when connecting to its values.
Quality improvement of lime fruit (Citrus aurantifolia) between packaged and unpackaged conditions combined with different storage temperatures
Authors: Habibi Irfan , Susila Anas Dinurrohman
Published: July 2024

Background: The use of limes is increasingly widespread worldwide, both as fresh fruit for consumption and for making juice or other drinks. Lime is also used in making jams and candies. The essential oil obtained from the skin is widely used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for medicines, perfumes, soaps, body lotions, and detergents. However, during fruit storage, the respiration and metabolic activity in lime fruits is directly related to the increase in ambient temperature, which makes the fruit dry out. Improving the shelf life of lime against post-harvest stress while maintaining the sensory and nutritional qualities of fresh produce can be achieved through low-temperature storage and the use of packaging. This study aims to improve the quality of lime by knowing the difference between the provision of packaging and not-given packaging combined with different storage temperatures. Method: The experimental design used a single-factor completely randomized design with storage type treatment, which includes room temperature without packaging (control), room temperature with packaging, low temperature without packaging, and low temperature with packaging. Observations of non-destructive characteristics include weight loss, respiration rate, and fruit peel color. Observations of destructive characteristics include juice content, fruit peel softness, Soluble Solid Contents (SSC), Total Acidity (TA), SSC/TA ratio, and ascorbic acid content. Finding: Low temperature treatment without packaging provides the best results in delaying weight loss, respiration rate, and SSC/TA ratio. The control treatment provided the best results for peel softness, juice content, and ascorbic acid. Conclusion: Low temperature treatment without packaging is recommended for the storage of lime fruit to extend its shelf life. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study examines the combined effects of low temperature and newspaper packaging on extending the shelf life of lime fruits, addressing a significant gap in postharvest storage research for non-climacteric fruits such as lime.
A Study of the Correlation between ESG Strategies of Multinational Corporations and Their Market Performance
Authors: Zhang Ting , Lee Eunmi Tatum
Published: July 2024

This paper firstly introduces the specific content of ESG strategy, which contains three aspects of environment, society and governance, and effectively measures the sustainability of enterprises through various social factors, as well as the potential risks beyond financial operations. Second, it is hypothesized that the improvement of ESG performance from multinational corporations contributes to the enhancement of corporate value, and that the improvement of ESG performance from non-state-owned multinational corporations contributes more to the enhancement of corporate value compared to state-owned multinational corporations. To verify that the hypothesis is valid, the direct impact of corporate strategic performance on market performance is compared. The results of the analysis show that the logarithm of the amount of OFDI of listed companies and corporate ESG performance show a positive relationship and is more prominent at 10%, with the presence of β=0.099, p<0.01. The ESG strategy of privately owned firms has a figure of 0.149***, which indicates that the ESG strategy performance in the enhancement of corporate value of privately owned firms shows a positive relationship at the 1% significance level. Positive relationship. Therefore, both hypotheses of this paper are valid and are significant in the study of the correlation between ESG strategies of multinational companies and their market performance.
