Authors:   Tidar University, Indonesia, Tartila Shobrina Silmi Qori
Published: August 2023

Clownfish is one of the most demanding-marine ornamental fish. Due to the increased demand of the clownfish, wild clownfish catch has also been increasing, until reaching the overexploitation condition. One way to preserve the existence of this fish species and to sustainably fulfil the market demand is by conducting a culture technique with advanced application using a recirculating-aquaculture system, specifically larviculture. Thereby, this paper reported the procedure of the clownfish larviculture and determined the growth performance of the larvae during the culture activity. This paper reviewed the direct observational operation for 40 days at Rizky Mitra Karya Hatchery, Buleleng, Bali. All observational data were analyzed descriptively. During the culture, the process was composed of rearing media preparation, clownfish egg-clutch collecting and stocking, and larval rearing. This process also included the feeding management in each rearing part (broodstock and larval rearing), water quality control by setting the RAS standard and and harvest for juvenile rearing. However, the hatching rate was lower than the standard given. Egg collection with scrapping method produced a lower hatching rate due to more human error discovered. To gain a better improvement, rotifer as a live feed for clownfish larvae and fluctuated weather condition due to the seasonal transition, which impacted on the availability of live feed for clownfish larvae should be handled intensively. Therefore, proper live feed culture with indoor system, thorough live feed intake observation on larvae, and proper larvae stocking by directly taking from the broodstock tank are necessary to stabilize this culture production with high sustainability level.

Published: August 2023

High mortality in larvae emerges due to less suitable size and nutritional contents of the feed for larval requirement. Therefore, live feed management is one of the successive factors in many grouper hatcheries to reduce high mortality risk in larval stage and provide good nutritional value in fish. This article reviewed the feeding management of grouper larvae and the obstacles occurred during the feeding management within the larval rearing period in Buleleng, Bali. The grouper larvae were produced from the cross-breeding process between female tiger grouper (E. fuscoguttatus) and male marbled grouper (E. polyphekadion). Rotifers (Branchionus plicatilis) were enriched with marine green microalgae (Nannochloropsis oculata) at 2 × 105 ind/ml. Rotifers were then fed to the larvae at 1-3 ind/ml. This feeding application was performed when the larvae was at 2-7 DAH (days after hatching). Artemia salina was fed to the 17-DAH larvae at 0.2-0.5 ind/ml, then increased at 8 ind/ml as the larvae reached 27 DAH with four-time feeding frequency. Also, commercial feed was provided for the larvae at 15 DAH and small shrimp (Acetes sp.) was fed to the 40-DAH larvae for supplement. This feeding management could produce a good absolute length growth rate at 22.3 mm on 35 days of rearing. However, high mortality rate was still occurred due to cannibalism, high stocking density of rotifers, and fluctuated weather that decreased the live feed supply. Thus, additional nutrient enrichment and optimal larval consumption observation should be performed to reduce high mortality rate, cannibalism, and weather condition influence.

Reflections on the Governance of Calon Arang Performance: Between Contestation, Commodification, and Religion
Authors: Komang Indra Wirawan
Published: August 2023

Calon Arang performing arts have been developing very well recently. It is proved by the held of many Calon Arang performances and the hectic news coverage and related social media uploads. In addition to the audience being enthusiastic about the show, the artists also continue to innovate and be creative in presenting interesting performances. However, the existing Calon Arang art is a sacred performance that has undergone many commodifications and deviations. Furthermore, there was a lot of chaos and even death. Therefore, a management system for the Calon Arang performing arts is needed that is in accordance with tattwa (philosophy), susila (ethics), and upakara (rituals), but at the same time, it provides sufficient space for artists to express their creativity, and can still present interesting shows to the public. This research was organized in qualitative descriptive method to formulate what factors need to be used as the basis for the management of Calon Arang performance. The research result shows that the preparation of Calon Arang performance management guidelines was not an easy thing because there were conflicts in mapping out the parameters to be used as the basis for managing the Calon Arang Show, both from an aesthetic and religious point of view. However, it is hoped that with the cooperation of various parties, initial principles can be formulated on how to manage the Calon Arang show.

Four-Dimensional Newtonian Relativity
Authors: Callender Kennard
Published: August 2023

The constancy of the speed of light seems to imply that time and space are not absolute; however, we intend to show that that is not necessarily the case. In this article, we construct an alternative formulation to the theory of special relativity from the concepts of absolute time and absolute space defined by Newton and from the hypothesis that physical space is four-dimensional. We prove this formulation is mathematically equivalent to Einstein's theory by deriving the Lorentz transformation from the Galilean transformation for frames of reference in four-dimensional Euclidean space.

Published: August 2023

Small meteoroids that enter Earth's atmosphere often go unnoticed because their detection and characterization rely on human observations, introducing observational biases in space and time. Acoustic shockwaves from meteoroid ablation convert to infrasound and seismic energy, enabling fireball detection using seismoacoustic methods. We analyzed an unreported fireball in 2022 near the Azores, recorded by 26 seismometers and two infrasound arrays. Through polarization analyses, array methods, and 3-D ray-tracing, we determined that the terminal blast occurred at 40 km altitude, ∼60 km NE of São Miguel Island. This location matches an unidentified flash captured by a lightning detector aboard the GOES-16 satellite. The estimated kinetic energy is ∼10−3 kT TNT equivalent, suggesting a 10−1 m object diameter, thousands of which enter the atmosphere annually. Our results demonstrate how geophysical methods, in tandem with satellite data, can significantly improve the observational completeness of meteoroids, advancing our understanding of their sources and entry processes.

Published: August 2023

Seismic activities pose significant challenges to societies globally. Therefore, it is crucial to understand their occurrence, patterns, and impacts. By studying seismic activities, including earthquakes, researchers can investigate their occurrence, distribution, and characteristics which can provide effective management and risk reduction strategies. The southern part of Ghana is prone to earthquakes and this study aims to shed more light into the nature of seismic events in the area and country at large. A systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA technique across three electronic databases (SCOPUS, Dimensions and Google Scholar) to identify relevant studies published between 2000 and 2023. Extraction of data and quality assessment were performed in order to ensure reliability and validity of included studies. Results identified only 17 papers from published records to meet the inclusion criteria. Despite the grave threat earthquakes pose to vital infrastructure and human life in Ghana, research in this area remains remarkably deficient. Our findings underscore the urgent need for further study given the catastrophic potential of seismic disasters in the region. Moreover, upon scrutinizing the methodologies deployed in extant literature concerning seismic activity in Ghana, a recurring constraint that emerged was the scarce availability of data. In essence, this study offers an indispensable panorama of earthquake research in Ghana, bridging the existing knowledge chasm on seismic phenomena in the region. The insights gleaned from this review promise to fortify our comprehension of Ghana's seismic activities, thereby bolstering the country's capabilities for more effective preparedness and response strategies.
Coping Style as a Mediator in the Associations between Dispositional Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, and Loneliness
Authors: Xie Qiang
Published: August 2023

Mindfulness and self-compassion have the potential to alleviate loneliness, a significant public health concern. Investigating the underlying mechanisms that drive their impact on loneliness is crucial to optimizing their effectiveness. The current cross-sectional study aimed to explore the mediating role of coping style in the relationships between mindfulness, self-compassion, and loneliness. Participants (n = 453) were recruited from the general population through social network platforms in China. Participants completed an online survey including measures of demographic information, dispositional mindfulness, self-compassion, coping style, and loneliness. Correlation analyses revealed that mindfulness and self-compassion both had significantly negative associations with loneliness; negative coping was positively correlated with loneliness, while positive coping was not significantly associated with loneliness; mindfulness and self-compassion were positively related to positive coping and negatively associated with negative coping. Mediation analyses showed that negative coping significantly mediated the effects of mindfulness and self-compassion on loneliness while controlling for demographic variables. These findings suggest that negative coping may serve as a potential mechanism linking mindfulness and self-compassion to loneliness. If future longitudinal and experimental research confirms the mediating effect of negative coping, mindfulness and self-compassion interventions can address negative coping to optimize their effects on loneliness.
Neural markers of attention at 6 months associate with later attentional control performance

Published: August 2023

Attentional control is key to the development of executive functions. Previous studies have indicated that individual differences in attentional control behaviour may be stable from 6 months. Here, we analyse electroencephalogram data collected from 59 6-month-olds to gain insights into the neural processes underlying attentional control in infancy. Firstly, we examine the neural activity preceding distinct looking behaviours in a task designed to elicit attentional control. Secondly, we test whether those neural markers show predictive associations to behavioural measures of attentional control (Freeze-Frame task) and executive function (A-not-B task) in the same infants at 9 months. Whilst our data do not show evidence that 6-9Hz power is implicated in attentional control at 6 months, or that the P1 ERP component plays a role in our attentional control task, we do find evidence that corroborates and extends research linking 3-6Hz power to attentional control. At the group level, frontal 3-6Hz power recorded whilst looking to a central target prior to the onset of a peripheral distractor was greater during trials where infants subsequently looked to the distractor, compared with trials where they did not look. Higher 3-6Hz power in trials where the infant did not look to a peripheral distractor was predictive of less distractibility at 9 months, and higher 3Hz power in trials where infants did look to the distractor strengthened the predictive association from 6-month EEG to 9-month behaviour. We suggest that 3-6Hz activity may be sensitive to multiple processes, such as anticipatory attention, and the ability to maintain attention on a target.
The influence of sensory modality on aesthetic judgments of poetry
Authors: Frame Jessica , Mehl Kendra , Head Karen , Belfi Amy
Published: August 2023

Poetry can be experienced in multiple sensory modalities – for example, someone might read a written poem (i.e., visual modality) or listen to a spoken poem (i.e., an auditory modality). Readers may also follow along with a written poem while listening to the spoken version, and therefore experience poems in a multimodal manner. Here, we examined whether aesthetic judgments of poems differ based on the sensory modality in which they are experienced. In the present study, participants (N=233) rated three subjective characteristics of poems (vividness of evoked imagery, emotional valence, and emotional arousal), as well as the overall aesthetic appeal of the poems. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the three modalities: text-only (N=81), audio-only (N=74), or combined audio/text (N=78). Our results showed that participants found the audio-only modality to be the least aesthetically appealing, as compared to visual-only and combined audiovisual. Additionally, we found that vividness of imagery was the most important predictor of aesthetic appeal overall (across all three modalities) but also identified a significant interaction between stimulus modality and imagery such that vividness was most important for text-only poems. Finally, we replicated prior work on individual differences in aesthetic appeal, as our results indicate low interrater agreement for aesthetic appeal ratings of poems. These findings contribute to our understanding of the complexity of the aesthetic experience in poetry and highlight the significance of individual differences and the role of modality in its appreciation.

Published: August 2023

In this study, the temperature-dependence of thermodynamic and surface properties of Cu-Ti binary liquid alloy were studied. In thermodynamic properties, excess Gibbs free energy of mixing, enthalpy of mixing, excess entropy of mixing, and activity of the system were computed at 1873 K. The surface properties were analyzed by computing the surface tension and surface concentration of the system. Thermodynamic properties were computed in the framework of the Redlich-Kister polynomial, and the surface properties were computed using the Butler model. At its melting point, the system exhibited a tendency for the formation of compounds, and as the Cu concentration was increased, the surface tension of the system gradually decreased. The excess Gibbs free energy of mixing, activity and surface tension of the system were also computed at different temperatures, in the range 1873-2173 K. With the increase in temperature of the system, the compound forming tendency of the system gradually decreased.

Authors: Pokhrel Romkanta , Aryal Bhagwan , Bexci Manual Selvarage
Published: August 2023

Integrating values in curricular and pedagogical activities has become a pressing need to produce responsible social citizens with good hearts and great minds. To cultivate these traits, values need to be reflected in and be the part of school curriculum and pedagogy. In this context, school practices play a pivotal role to make values a part of everyday activity. This study attempts to examine such practices in public, private, and traditional/religious schools in Nepal. Schools were selected purposively by visiting their online profiles. Information was collected from twenty school heads via a semi-structured interview, school visits, and classroom observations. The study found that private and public schools have initiated teaching/integrating values through a range of curricular structures and pedagogical practices like happiness curriculum, IB curriculum, education in human values curriculum, living school curriculum, culture-based [sanskar] curriculum, progressive learning approach, and innovative pedagogical models. It was also found that schools have designed their internal curricula within the spirit of the national curriculum framework to integrate soft skills and values in regular lessons. Traditional/religious schools have been found blending general courses and certain religious values like Gurukul schools- teaching Vedic values, Madrasa schools- teaching Islamic values, Gonpas/Monasteries- teaching Buddhist/Tibetan values, and St. Xavier schools- teaching Jesuit values. Having these noticeable initiatives in values education in Nepal, effective endorsement from the policy level is required for visible impacts.
Women Empowerment in Higher Education in Nepal
Authors: Koirala Padma
Published: August 2023

This paper attempts to address women's empowerment in higher education in Nepal. This is a review paper based on a systematic review of women's empowerment through education. The dictionary definition of empowerment refers to giving power and status to an individual or group in a particular situation. Empowerment enables them to increase access to opportunities without limitations, such as in education, profession, and lifestyle. This paper uses a systematic review method to focus on the role of education in women's empowerment. For this purpose, nine articles were selected for systematic review from the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses [PRISMA] model. The review materials that focused on the different dimensions of women’s empowerment, both theoretically and methodologically, were considered for systematic review. The systematic review results reveal that education is a precondition for women’s empowerment. However, most of the conclusions were based on census data covering women’s literacy rates, and their findings did not explicitly mention the indicators of women’s studies. Only a few studies assessed the dimensions of women’s empowerment, such as personal, economic, social, and political dimensions.

Authors: Ma Cen , Sun Lingyan , Li Li , Xu Wenxin
Published: August 2023

Background: Evidence suggests the role of the vaginal microbiome and microenvironment in the immunity state. The human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is widely dependent on the healthy vaginal microenvironment. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the role of the vaginal microenvironment in the rate of high-risk HPV (hr-HPV) infection. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 512 women with hr-HPV positive (n=212) or negative (n=300) infection. The vaginal samples of women were examined regarding yeas and Gardnerella vaginalis infection. Also, Lactobacillus acidophilus, pH, and enzyme activity (such as catalase, proline aminopeptidase, and leucocyte esterase) were compared between the two groups. Also, the histopathological study was performed on the vaginal samples. Results: The higher rate of yeast and G. vaginalis infections as well as decreased L. acidophilus, were significantly observed in women with hr-HPV positive infection (P<0.001). Also, histopathological findings indicated that cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade I-III and cervical cancer lesions were markedly higher in hr-HPV positive group compared with control women. Conclusion: The hr-HPV infection was markedly correlated to vaginal microenvironments, and it could a risk factor for the elevation of the rate of high-grade cervical lesions.
Potential Regulatory Role of miR-21 on Alzheimerâ€™s Disease by Targeting GSK-3Î² Signaling
Authors: Ding Haojun
Published: August 2023

Background: Alzheimerâ€™s disease (AD) is the most important neurogenerative disorder with progressive dementia as its main clinical manifestation. The microRNAs (miRNAs) are identified as crucial modulators in AD progression. Nevertheless, the biological potential of miR-21 in AD is obscure. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the possible role of miR-21 in the pathogenesis of AD via phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3Î²) signaling. Materials and Methods: The miR-21 expression in the brain tissues of patients with AD, as well as normal brain tissues and AÎ²1-42-stimulated SH-SY5Y cell line (AD model) was examined by in situ hybridization and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Also, the apoptosis-linked protein levels as well as programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) were detected by western blot. Results: Our findings revealed that miR-21 was low expressed in the brain tissues of patients with AD and AD model (P<0.01). Also, the miR-21 overexpression could inhibit apoptosis of the AD model (P<0.01). Indeed, the miR-21 negatively regulated PDCD4 expression, which led to activated PI3K/AKT/GSK-3Î² signaling. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that miR-21 cloud inhibits cell apoptosis in AD through the activation of PI3K/AKT/GSK-3Î² signaling pathway using inhibition of PDCD4 expression.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the major cause of cancer-related death in women. Some studies have indicated the cytotoxic effects of vanadyl oxide sulfate (VOSO4). This study aimed to evaluate the anti-cancer effect of VOSO4 in the treatment of MCF-7 cell lines.Materials and Methods: The MCF-7 cell line was treated with different concentrations of VOSO4 for 24 and 48 hours. Cell death was measured using the MTT assay. The cell apoptosis rate was measured using Annexin V/Propidium Iodide assay through flow cytometry. Also, the expression levels of p53, P21, Caspase8, superoxide dismutase type 1 (SOD1), Sod2, and Bcl2 mRNAs were assessed, and Western blotting was performed for Sod1 protein.Results: The results showed that the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for VOSO4 was 25 and 20 μg/ml for 24 and 48 hours, respectively. Indeed, VOSO4 has dose-dependent cytotoxic effects on the MCF-7. Also, after exposure to VOSO4 for 24 hours, cell apoptosis reached 52% compared with untreated cells. Moreover, after 24 hours of exposure to VOSO4 with IC50 concentration, the expression of p53, P21, Caspase8, Sod1, and Sod2 mRNAs increased (P<0.05), and the expression of Bcl2 mRNA was decreased (P<0.05). Also, the Western blotting revealed Sod1 protein level markedly increased following exposure to VOSO4 (P<0.05). Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that VOSO4 has an apoptotic and cytotoxic effect on BC cells. Therefore, it could be considered a complementary agent for the medical treatment of patients with BC.
Percutaneous lumbopelvic fixation for pathologic sacral fractures and spinopelvic dissociation: patient series
Authors: Baksh Nikolas , Yeung Caleb , Vaynrub Max
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND

Because patients with advanced cancer live longer, the number of patients with the sequelae of metastatic spine disease has increased. Pathologic instability of the mobile spine has been classified, and minimally invasive surgery has been well described. However, pathologic sacral instability is uncommon and often underdiagnosed. Although most sacral fractures are stable, patients with unstable U- or H-type fractures have spinopelvic dissociation and can experience progressive pain, sacral kyphosis, and neurological injury. Open lumbopelvic fusion carries a high perioperative risk for this patient population, which has often been previously radiated and is medically frail. The authors investigated the utility and safety of percutaneous lumbopelvic fixation, as previously described for traumatic spinopelvic dissociation, in the oncological setting. The authors retrospectively reviewed five consecutive patients with unstable pathologic sacral fractures who had undergone percutaneous lumbopelvic fixation after conservative management failed.

OBSERVATIONS

Patients experienced significant improvement between pre- and postoperative visual analog scale scores (9.2 and 1.6, respectively) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group grades (median 3 and 1, respectively). All patients were independently ambulatory at the final follow-up. Sagittal alignment remained stable in four patients and worsened in one. There were no major medical or surgical complications.

LESSONS

Percutaneous lumbopelvic fixation shows promising results for palliation, durability, and safety for pathologic sacropelvic instability.

У статті досліджено процес моделювання впливу зовнішнього середовища на ЗЕД підприємств ЕС.  Було побудоввано 4 моделі щодо впливу показників діяльності підприємств на процес ЗЕД. Вибір способу або стратегії виходу на міжнародний ринок залежить від нових обмежень (економічних, політичних і правових), з якими підприємство стикається в інших країнах, куди хоче вийти і в яких хоче залишитися. З цієї причини важливо, щоб був присутній вплив агентів ЗЕД, щоб підприємство могло визначити свою зацікавленість в ЗЕД в міжнародному маркетинговому плані, який дозволяє йому конкурувати та підтримувати себе на зовнішніх ринках. З представлених даних помітно, що вплив капіталовкладень, змінні кредитного плеча та темпу зростання нематеріальних ресурсів виявляються майже незначними в усіх трьох моделях. Емпіричні результати не демонструють істотного впливу цих трьох змінних на ступінь ЗЕД. Темпи зростання ВВП або темпи зростання внутрішнього ринку країн показують негативний і дуже значний вплив у моделі випадкового ефекту, однак ця змінна стає незначущою в моделі GMM. Здається, що діяльність у виробничому секторі позитивно впливає на ЗЕД. Тому на основі цих результатів зроблено висновок, що такі фактори, як розмір, вік, продуктивність, іноземна власність або промисловість, є дуже важливими факторами ступеня ЗЕД, але капітальні інвестиції, леверидж, зростання нематеріальних ресурсів і темпи зростання внутрішнього ринку не мають статистично значущого впливу на ступінь інтернаціоналізації.

Published: August 2023

This study aims to analyze the root causes of data quality problems in Foreign Exchange Reporting (LLD) as the primary data source used in the preparation of the Indonesian Balance of Payments (NPI), especially in service transactions. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observation, and document analysis. The results of the study concluded that the data quality problem of LLD reporting was data accuracy. The root causes of the data quality problem of LLD reporting come from both the internal and external sides of Bank Indonesia. The root causes from the internal side of Bank Indonesia are complex transaction purpose codes (STT), acceleration of the development of service transaction, and manual data accuracy checks. While the root causes of the data quality problem from the external side of Bank Indonesia is the routine mutation of frontliner employees of the reporting bank and the lack of training conducted by the Head Office of the reporting bank. To address the root of the problem, several strategies are recommended to be implemented, namely adjustments to the STT list, training to LLD Account Officers, preparation of automated data accuracy check tools, preparation of e-learning and handbook about LLD reporting, as well as additional policies related to training obligations by Head Office of the reporting bank.

Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis variasi lokasi tempat tinggal serta infrastruktur mempengaruhi pengeluaran internet dan pendidikan  tahun 2021 berdasarkan pembagian wilayah kebudayaan di Jawa Timur. Data yang digunakan berasal dari Susenas MSBP dan survei PODES yang dikumpulkan oleh BPS pada tahun 2021. Studi ini terbatas pada rumah tangga yang melakukan pengeluaran pendidikan untuk kuota internet. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif analisis regresi OLS, variabel dependen yang digunakan yaitu biaya pengeluaran pendidikan (kuota internet) untuk rumah tangga. Variabel bebas yang digunakan yaitu karakteristik rumah tangga, lokasi tempat tinggal, dan infrastruktur IT. Studi kasus yang digunakan adalah pembagian wialayah berdasarkan kebudayaan di Jawa Timur.  Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan wilayah Kelompok Matraman di Kawasan lereng tempat tinggalnya menjadi yang terbanyak pengeluaran pendidikan untuk kuota internet, berbanding terbalik dengan wilayah kelompok Madura yang tinggal di kawasan lembah. Diketahui pula nilai pengeluaran kuota internet untuk urusan pendidikan yang paling laris kisaran 40.000 hingga 50.000 rupiah, dengan sinyal internet memiliki (4G/LTE) menhyebabkan pengeluaran pendidikan semakin banyak  juga. Sinyal HP terbukti tidak signifikan secara statitik jadi tidak berpengaruh terhadap besar kecilnya pengeluaran pendidkikan untuk kuota internet di Jawa Timur.

Introduction: Increase in exercise-induced fat oxidation has been observed with a 2-week daily intake of New Zealand blackcurrant (NZBC) extract. We examined for supine rest the effects of a 2-week daily intake of NZBC extract on physiological and metabolic parameters in relation to body fat%.Methods: Healthy active men (n=16, age: 24.1±6.0 yr, body mass: 78.2±15.6 kg, BMI: 24.7±4.2 kg·m-2) volunteered. NZBC extract (210 mg of anthocyanins) was consumed with breakfast with a14-day washout. The final ingestion was 2 hours before testing. Physiological and metabolic responses were measured during supine rest (2x10 min), and observations with the lowest 10-minute ventilation were analyzed. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to measure body fat%.Results: During supine rest, a 14-day daily intake of NZBC extract had no effect on heart rate, minute ventilation, oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production, and energy expenditure. However, a 14-day daily intake of NZBC extract decreased the respiratory exchange ratio (baseline: 0.840±0.045, 14-day: 0.820±0.058, P=0.03), increased fat oxidation (baseline: 0.079±0.03, 14-day: 0.088±0.043 g·min-1, P=0.05), and decreased carbohydrate oxidation (baseline: 0.178±0.067, 14-day: 0.143±0.071 g·min-1, P=0.03) during supine rest. Nine of the 16 participants had increased fat oxidation by over 10% during supine rest. For those nine participants, the increases were 26±16%. We did not observe a significant correlation between body fat% and absolute and percentual changes in fat oxidation.Conclusions: In a healthy male cohort, daily intake of New Zealand blackcurrant extract for two weeks was able to increase fat oxidation during supine rest. Daily intake of New Zealand blackcurrant extract may be an effective anthocyanin-rich supplement for managing body composition and body weight.Keywords: New Zealand blackcurrant; anthocyanins; metabolic equivalent; rest; fat oxidation; respiratory exchange ratio
The Interpretation and Application of the New Imperative Inheritance Law of Japan
Authors:   The Korean Society Of Family Law, Lee Soeun
Published: August 2023

The amendment of Japanese inheritance law, promulgated on July 13, 2018 and inacted on July 1, 2019, has changed a wide range of legal relations with regard to imperative inheritance. The most remarkable change in imperative inheritance law is Article 1046 of Japanese Civil Code which stipulates that the heir who may claim the forced heir’s right shall claim restitution in money. Under the new law, the heir who claimed the forced heir’s right no longer has the right in rem over the property given to a third person. This article reviews each provision of Japanese imperative inheritance law and the academic discussion in Japan thereof. Based on the review, I suggest amendment of some provisions of the Korean Civil Code (hereinafter “KCC”). More specifically, I suggest the following amendments: (a) the range of the heir who may claim the forced heir’s right shall be reduced to the spouse and children of the deceased; (b) the forced heir’s right shall be constructed as monetary claim; (c) the range of donation that becomes the subject of the said right shall also be reduced in terms of time period; (d) the order of restitution shall be stipulated in KCC; (e) the potential heirs shall be able to abandon the said right in advance.
