Authors: Azıza Nur Amalia , Aslan Hakan
Published: May 2024

The objective of this study is to examine the association of intellectual capital with the financial performance of Islamic and conventional life insurance companies in the regions of the GCC and ASEAN. The study conducts an analysis to assess the association between intellectual capital, assessed explicitly by the value-added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) using Ordinary Least-Square Regression, and the financial performance of life insurance in the GCC and ASEAN through the panel analysis encompassing 4 GCC countries and 2 ASEAN, which encompasses of 26 conventional and 24 Islamic life insurance covering 2017-2021 period. The findings indicate a distinction between conventional and Islamic life insurance companies. The impact of intellectual capital in the context of conventional life insurance on financial performance is only affected by Capital Employed Efficiency. Conversely, financial performance is significantly affected by the intellectual capital elements of Islamic life insurance, except structural capital. Despite varying outcomes, conventional and Islamic life insurance correlation demonstrates a noteworthy impact of intellectual capital, except for structural capital, on financial performance.

The term “black fungus” is referred to fulminating, dreadful fungus mucormycosis infection, so-called because of the black-colored necrotic areas it causes due to the black-colored colonies of the fungus, which thrives in infected tissues. Recently, in this COVID-19 pandemic, it has emerged as a new threat to the world. This article enlightens us with the predisposing factors, pathogenesis, types, clinical features, diagnostic modalities, and treatment of Mucormycosis.
Aerobic training as an approach to increasing VO2max in amateur football athletes
Authors: Marsuna  , Hudain Muh. Adnan , Heriansyah
Published: May 2024

Background Problems: Lack of variety in aerobic exercise can cause boredom and reduce motivation to increase VO2max. Research Objectives: This study aims to assess how much influence aerobic exercise has on increasing VO2max in amateur football athletes. This involves regularly monitoring and measuring changes in VO2max levels over time. Methods: This research used a pre-experimental method; the design used was a one-group pretest and posttest design. The study used total sampling to select a population and sample of 30 amateur athletes. The instrument used was the 15-minute balke test to determine the athlete's VO2max capacity. The method used aerobic training with a 400-metre run. The data analysis technique used descriptive statistical tests, and prerequisite tests were normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing using the t-test with the SPSS version 26 program. Findings and Results: The analysis of the data reveals a notable improvement in VO2max following aerobic exercise. The average VO2max value increased from 55.38 during the pretest to 70.70 in the posttest phase. This increase was substantiated by the t-test results, where the calculated t-value was 10.36. Consequently, this indicates a significant enhancement in VO2max post-exercise. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise has a crucial role in increasing VO2max in amateur football athletes. Good cardiorespiratory conditioning can help improve their endurance, performance, and recovery during training and competition.

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are emerging in the recent literature as promising environmentally friendly liquids in different topics, finding fruitful applications as substitutes to common volatile organic solvents. These mixtures are prepared via non-solvent procedures and they have peculiar structural features and properties. They are formed via weak interactions, mainly H-bonds, between two species; the interactions between the different species as well as the ones occurring between the same species, lead to an impossible regular crystal lattice formation, therefore leading to liquid systems. The number of novel DESs mixtures present in the literature is rapidly increasing because of the wide number of H-bonds capable molecules available. One of these classes is represented by aquoDESs: binary mixtures in which one of the components is water, confirmed in their DESs’ identity by theoretical/experimental melting curves approaches. In this work a study of cluster formation of water-based DESs in water dilutions is presented. The three analysed mixtures are: glycolic acid/water (GA/H2O); betaine/water (TMG/H2O), choline chloride/water (ChCl/H2O). Ionic conductivity, viscosity, ultrasound spectroscopy and NMR measures showed the presence of aggregates of aquoDESs in water dilutions until values about 50% w/w of added water. Finally, taking into account the convenient disposal as water dilution of a DES, the cytotoxicity of these dilutions was evaluated on Caco2 model cells, showing the effect to be related only to the non-water components of these liquids.

Published: May 2024

Chiral multiresonant thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials show great potential as emitters in circularly polarized (CP) organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) owing to their bright and narrowband CP emission. Here, two new chiral MR-TADF emitters tBuPh-BN and DPA-tBuPh-BN possessing intrinsically helical chirality have been synthesized and studied. The large steric interactions between the tert-butylphenyl groups not only induce the helical chirality but also provide a notable configurational stability to the enantiomers. Racemic mixtures of tBuPh-BN and DPA-tBuPh-BN show narrowband emission at 490 and 477 nm with full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of 25 and 28 nm and photoluminescence quantum yields, PL, of 85 and 54% in toluene. The separated enantiomers of tBuPh-BN and DPA-tBuPh-BN show symmetric circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with respective dissymmetry factors |gPL| values of 1.5×10-3 and 0.9×10-3. The hyperfluorescence organic light-emitting diodes (HF-OLEDs) with tBuPh-BN and DPA-tBuPh-BN acting as terminal emitters and 2,3,4,5,6-penta-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzonitrile (5CzBN) as their assistant dopant exhibited, respectively, maximum external quantum efficiencies (EQEmax) of 20.9 and 15.9% at 492 and 480 nm with FWHM of 34 and 38 nm. This work demonstrates a strategy for developing intrinsically helically chiral MR-TADF emitters possessing significant configurationally stability, which can be used in HF-OLEDs.
Unraveling C4 selectivity in the light-driven C–H fluoroalkylation of pyridines and quinolines
Authors: hong Sungwoo , Kim Leejae , Lee Wooseok
Published: May 2024

Given the prevalence of pyridine motifs in FDA-approved drugs, selective fluoroalkylation of pyridines and quinolines is essential for preparing diverse bioisosteres. However, conventional Minisci reactions often face challenges in achieving precise regioselectivity due to competing reaction sites of pyridine and the limited availability of fluoroalkyl radical sources. Herein, we present a light-driven, C4-selective fluoroalkylation of azines utilizing N-aminopyridinium salts and readily available sulfinates. Our approach employs electron donor-acceptor complexes, achieving highly C4-selective fluoroalkylation under mild conditions without an external photocatalyst. This practical method not only enables the installation of CF2H groups but also allows for the incorporation of CF2-alkyl groups with diverse functional entities, surpassing the limitations of previous methods. The versatility of the radical pathway is further demonstrated through straightforward three-component reactions involving alkenes and [1.1.1]propellane. Detailed experimental and computational studies have elucidated the origins of regioselectivity, providing profound insights into the mechanistic aspects.
Perspective on Automated Predictive Kinetics using Estimates derived from Large Datasets
Authors: Green William
Published: May 2024

A longstanding project of the chemical kinetics community is to predict reaction rates and the behavior of reacting systems, even for systems where there are no experimental data. Many important reacting systems (atmosphere, combustion, pyrolysis, partial oxidations) involve a large number of reactions occurring simultaneously, and reaction intermediates that have never been observed, making this goal even more challenging. Improvements in our ability to compute rate coefficients and other important parameters accurately from first principles, and improvements in automated kinetic modeling software, have partially overcome many challenges. Indeed, in some cases quite complicated kinetic models have been constructed which accurately predicted the results of independent experiments. However, the process of constructing the models, and deciding which reactions to measure or compute ab initio, relies on accurate estimates (and indeed most of the numerical rate parameters in most large kinetic models are estimates.) Machine-learned models trained on large datasets can improve the accuracy of these estimates, and allow a better integration of quantum chemistry and experimental data. The need for continued development of shared (perhaps open-source) software and databases, and some directions for improvement, are highlighted. As we model more complicated systems, many of the weaknesses of the traditional ways of doing chemical kinetic modeling, and of testing kinetic models, have been exposed, identifying several challenges for future research by the community
Extensional failure at the tip of a weak slab under slab pull -- the 2023 Mw 6.4 Zacualpa, Guatemala, earthquake
Authors: Craig Timothy , Hull Amber
Published: May 2024

The 2023 Mw 6.4 Zacualpa earthquake is the deepest recorded major (Mw > 6) earthquake to have occurred in the Cocos slab beneath Central America, at a depth of ~ 255 km. Here, we refine the source parameters of both the Zacualpa earthquake, and the only other event at comparable depths (the 1997 Mw 5.5 Santa Catarina Mita earthquake), confirming both their exceptional depth within the downgoing slab, and their consistent down-dip extensional mechanism. That the Cocos slab remains capable of hosting major intraslab earthquakes, with mechanisms consistent with down-dip extension, near, or at, the tip of the contiguous slab, suggests that the slab itself is weak, such that the minimal stresses derived from supporting the negative buoyancy of the short section of slab down-dip from this earthquake are still sufficient to lead to brittle failure of the slab.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONFLICTS IN TIMIȘOARA. CASE STUDY: GAS STATIONS
Authors:   Department of Geography, Faculty of Chemistry, Biology, Geography, West University of Timișoara, Romania, VĂDUVA Raluca
Published: May 2024

The increase in the number of motor vehicles has led to a significant demand for fuel consumption, which has led to a need for more gas stations in urban areas. However, operating a gas station requires obtaining various permits, as they have the potential to negatively affect the natural or built environment or individuals residing or working nearby. Additionally, specific regulations must be followed when selecting a location to construct a gas station, including maintaining minimum distances from certain surrounding functional buildings. Gas stations in urban areas are often a source of environmental conflicts due to their flammable and explosive nature and the handling of hazardous substances on-site, mainly as they are usually situated close to residential, commercial, or office areas. To identify environmental conflicts related to gas stations and residential areas, a study was conducted on sixty operational and non-operational gas stations in the Timișoara area in 2023, most of them being located on the primary access routes into the city. The study revealed that 9.62% of the total gas stations in use did not comply with the minimum distance requirements from nearby urban functions as mandated by law. This non-compliance poses a potential risk to individuals residing or working near the gas station. Furthermore, a survey was conducted to identify the perceptions and attitudes of Timișoara inhabitants towards the acceptability of gas stations. A total of 141 questionnaires were completed to determine the awareness of the existence of a potentially conflicting association.

Príncipe, o Conflito Social e a Construção de uma Identidade Coletiva em Maquiavel
Authors: Leardini Gonzaga Vinícius
Published: May 2024

Este texto visa examinar o modo pelo qual é construída, em O príncipe de Maquiavel, uma identidade coletiva, bem como os limites dessa construção. Primeiramente, buscamos demonstrar o primado do conflito social sobre todos os demais elementos considerados por Maquiavel, inclusive o príncipe. Em seguida, procuramos indicar a complexidade dessa determinação, pois a ação principesca também afeta o referido conflito ao incidir sobre ele. Por fim, uma vez que Maquiavel rejeita o meio-termo (via del mezzo), o “príncipe” (principe) deve se apoiar ou nos “grandes” (grandi) ou no “povo” (populo). Buscamos demonstrar que provém do ânimo popular a manutenção do principado, ao passo que o “povo” deseja “não ser comandado nem oprimido”, de modo a identificar nessa relação tanto o processo de construção de uma identidade coletiva – a qual é estabelecida efetivamente em prol da liberdade – como também os seus limites.

Conceito de "Partilha do Sensível" e as suas Implicações no que Concerne a Atividade Política em Jacques Rancière
Authors: Alves Teixeira Michelly
Published: May 2024

Este trabalho visa apresentar o sentido de partilha do sensível na teoria de Jacques Rancière. Com o objetivo de compreendermos a gênese da noção de partilha do sensível – sobretudo, neste momento em particular –, partiremos da definição ranciereana de subjetivação política, que é inerente à distribuição de lugares promovida por instâncias de dominação. Afinal, para o autor, a política não é distribuição de poder. A partilha do sensível seria um processo político e policial que ora é mediada por instâncias de conflito, ora é intercedida por instâncias de poder; e isto tende a afetar a maneira como os sujeitos ocupam a comunidade sensível ao verificar as formas como a realidade lhes é tomada e ordenada seguindo a ordem da dominação.
Prudência e Sabedoria como Modos Elevados da Vida Feliz
Authors: Oliveira Marques Aurelio
Published: May 2024

Deve-se a Aristóteles a distinção e a elaboração mais precisas dos conceitos de teoria e prática. Ele fez da filosofia um conhecimento teórico, cunhando a noção de teoria como conhecimento especulativo das realidades dadas no mundo. Entretanto, esta teoria já não é mais contemplação das Ideias, mas sim das realidades essenciais e universais, provenientes de uma abstração intelectual da natureza. O conhecimento teórico se volta à natureza das coisas para observar suas causas e desdobramentos. Ao lado da teoria e em oposição a ela, desenvolve a noção de prática (praxis). De modo geral, pode-se dizer que a praxis domina tudo aquilo que é operável pelo homem, isto é, diz respeito à ação propriamente humana enquanto imanente e voluntária. Embora teoria e prática na maioria das vezes se apresentem como completamente opostas e independentes, é possível constatar que o sistema aristotélico pressupõe certo grau de coerência envolvendo alguns conceitos-chave de sua filosofia. Neste sentido, o objetivo central deste seminário consiste em investigar os modos pelos quais é possível pensar a relação entre saber teórico e saber prático na filosofia de Aristóteles, levando em consideração trechos de duas de suas principais obras de maturidade, quais sejam, Metafísica e Ética a Nicômaco.
Itinerário da Ação Política em Antonio Gramsci
Authors: Mendonça Carneiro Miguel Ivân
Published: May 2024

O texto integrou Comunicação proferida no Primeiro Encontro Nacional de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia da Universidade de Brasília e compõe o objeto de pesquisa doutoral “em construção” acerca da ação política real a partir da liberdade e força imanente em dois momentos estruturantes do pensamento gramsciano: a) a fase juvenil (1914-1919), correspondente ao período inicial do engajamento político rumo à aderência ao movimento operário turinense; b) análise do § 48 do volume 3 dos Cadernos do Cárcere (Q 3, 48, 197) sobre a ação política real. A problemática da pesquisa é investigar quais são as exigências filosóficas gramscianas da ação política real que a distinga do idealismo utópico. Nesse sentido, quais as contribuições gramscianas rumo à nova filosofia da práxis? As pesquisas apontam que a práxis exige a consciência crítica – perpassada pela ação intelectual na formação do povo -, pois as exigências históricas já foram postas.

Environmental impacts of geothermal fields on water resources in the Central Anatolia region, Turkey
Authors: Aydemir Polat Eda , Şener Şehnaz
Published: May 2024

Hot and mineral waters in thermal areas may interact with other water resources in the region. When such a situation occurs, it is possible for hot water to negatively affect the chemical structure and quality of cold-water resources. This limits the use of drinking and/or irrigation water in water resources. In the scope of this study, geothermal fields in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey were examined in detail and the quality and usability characteristics of the water resources in these fields were examined. Thus, the environmental effects of geothermal in terms of water resources were tried to be revealed. The geological, hydrogeological and hydro geochemical properties of 18 different geothermal fields located in 5 different regions were examined and their similarities and differences with each other were revealed. In addition, the quality and usability characteristics of hot and cold-water resources in each field were examined and the possible negative effects of these geothermal fields on water resources were investigated. According to the results obtained, thermal energy causes pollution of both freshwater resources and soil, especially due to their high ion content. In addition, considering the major ion and heavy metal contents of thermal waters, it is seen that health problems may occur if the water is used as drinking water for a long time.

LANGUAGE ACQUISITION OF 4-5-YEAR-OLD TODDLERS: INDONESIAN AND ENGLISH IN THE COVID-19 ERA
Authors: Zurriyati Zurriyati , Perangin-angin Alemina Br , Effendi Fika Emylia , Tambunan Khairunnisa
Published: May 2024

The novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has caused a global pandemic, resulting in widespread social distancing measures for all ages, including toddlers. Such policies have significantly impacted toddlers' language acquisition, particularly in terms of their lack of interaction with peers and teachers at Early Childhood Education (PAUD) schools. In light of this, the current study sought to discover how toddlers aged 4-5 fared regarding language acquisition during their early childhood. To accomplish the goal mentioned earlier, the authors of this study attempted to provide maps with animal and fruit images in both Indonesian and English. Toddlers have had fewer opportunities to interact with their peers at school due to the current circumstances, which include the spread of the new coronavirus and strict social restrictions, resulting in a decrease in vocabulary acquisition through minimal interaction. As a result, this study was carried out to evaluate the language acquisition process of early childhood students. The current study used a descriptive research design with an early childhood student sample. This study's data collection methods included observation and interviews. The results of this study revealed that, while the toddlers could name the pictures given to them when they were younger, their English language skills remained very low.Novel coronavirus, juga dikenal sebagai COVID-19, telah menyebabkan pandemi global, mengakibatkan tindakan jarak sosial yang meluas di segala usia, termasuk balita. Kebijakan tersebut berdampak signifikan pada penguasaan bahasa balita, terutama dalam hal kurangnya interaksi dengan teman sebaya dan guru di sekolah Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD). Sehubungan dengan hal ini, penelitian saat ini berusaha untuk menemukan bagaimana nasib balita berusia 4-5 tahun dalam hal penguasaan bahasa selama masa kanak-kanak mereka. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut di atas, penulis penelitian ini mencoba menyediakan peta dengan gambar hewan dan buah dalam bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Inggris. Balita memiliki lebih sedikit kesempatan untuk berinteraksi dengan teman sebayanya di sekolah karena keadaan saat ini, termasuk penyebaran virus corona baru dan pembatasan sosial yang ketat, mengakibatkan penurunan perolehan kosa kata melalui interaksi yang minimal. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi proses pemerolehan bahasa siswa usia dini. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian deskriptif dengan sampel siswa PAUD. Metode pengumpulan data penelitian ini meliputi observasi dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa, meskipun balita dapat menyebutkan gambar yang diberikan kepada mereka saat masih kecil, kemampuan bahasa Inggris mereka masih sangat rendah.
