Design of Ergonomic Equipment for Carrying Horticultural Plants to Reduce Musculoskeletal Syndrome]
Authors: Wibowo Resalfa Amelza , Soewardi Hartomo
Published: June 2024

Horticulture is the activity of cultivating garden plants in the form of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. This cultivation is carried out starting from nurseries to mass distribution. Conveyance is one of the plant transference equipment in order to support the process. Based on the preliminary study, the transference of plants is still done manually by lifting one by one box weighing 9-10 kg with a limited capacity. This condition affects ineffectiveness and discomfort work process, namely pain in the right shoulder (29%), left upper arm and right upper arm (71%), left forearm and right forearm (100%), right wrist (57%), and right hand (43%). Thus, it is important to modify the conveyance to make it more ergonomic. Redesigning the conveyance using ergonomic principles is the purpose of the research. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method is used to determine the design specifications of the proposed device to suit the user’s needs. The survey was used to identify attributes of design required by the users. Statistical analysis was done to test a hypothesis. Result of this study shows that the conveyance design developed is valid to suit the user’s need at a significance level of 5%, namely comfortable, easy to use, strong, and effective. The redesigned conveyance can reduce the risk of musculoskeletal syndrome by 60% from high risk to low risk. Thus, the developed design is more comfortable and more effective in use.
Production and Characterization of Silencer Composite Materials From Natural Fiber Using Hand Lay-Up Methods
Authors: Sadik Rifnaldi , Amalia Rizka
Published: June 2024

Noise pollution is a loud sound emitted by a device that can disturb the environment and living things. Therefore, development is needed to manufacture sound absorbers with aesthetic value and comfort and still have good sound absorption from natural fiber composite materials. Composites are materials that can be developed universally. Composites are formed from the combination of two or more materials, producing a new material with different mechanical properties and characteristics from its constituent materials. This research aims to make sound absorption composites from various natural fibers (honey pineapple leaf fiber, spiked pandanus leaf fiber, and jute waste fiber) and matrix variations (epoxy and polyester) with a fiber = resin ratio of 40%: 60% and 60%: 40%. The first treatment was alkalization with 5% NaOH for fiber retrieval, then mixing natural fibers and matrix variations with the Hand Lay-Up method. The transmission loss method, density test, and SEM carried out the sound absorption test. The results showed that the best sound-absorbing composite was the spiked pandanus leaf fiber with polyester resin with a ratio of 60% fiber = resin: 40%, where the transmission loss results reached 28 dB. This is because the fiber dominates the resin to form a hole or porosity; increasing porosity affects the sound absorption ability of a material.

Published: June 2024

The solar radiation heat absorbing plate is a major component in solar still applications. The fin absorber plate with mortar material as a heat absorber, heat transfer, and evaporation medium. In the fin absorber plate with mortar material, seawater flows inside the fin body capillarity and undergoes an evaporation process, leaving salt in the pores. Salt in the pores, type, and dimension of sand as the main forming material of mortar will also affect the effective heat conductivity value. This study evaluates salt formation in the pores with various types and dimensions of sand-forming mortar material on effective heat conductivity. The research was conducted experimentally by comparing the types and dimensions of sand-forming mortar. The types of sand used were iron sand (PB) and lichen sand (PL), with sand dimensions of 0.125 and 0.250, respectively. The types and dimensions of sand were formed into mortar with a mixture of 2 sand and one cement. The mortar test was compared with stone material. In the test, heating was applied to the top surface of the mortar and stone using a heating element (heater) with 46.4 W power for 120 minutes. The research resulted in the effective heat conductivity of all mortar materials increasing with increasing heating time and salt in the pores. The mortar material using iron sand with a dimension of 0.125 mm (PB.0.125) has a higher total effective heat conductivity of 0.712 (W/m0C) than PB.0.250, PL.0.125, PL.0.250 and stone.
The Kassel Fragment from an Early South English Legendary
Authors: Schultze Dirk
Published: June 2024

A print of Siliceus’s Arithmetica (Paris 1526), once preserved in the Landesbibliothek in Kassel, but now lost, contained a fragment of one parchment leaf until it was removed in 1904. The text, vaguely identified by Wiedemann (1994) as a “Vita Thomae Beket”, is here more precisely identified as part of the “Life of St. Thomas of Canterbury” from an early South English Legendary. I describe fragment and text in detail, and the text is analysed with respect to dialect and to its position in the transmission history. A diplomatic edition of the text preserved in this fragment makes this early witness of an important Middle English legendary available for the first time.
The deterritorialization of China pop: a pilot study on the global presence of Chinese streaming services
Authors: Liu Zhaoxi (Josie)
Published: June 2024

Purpose

Through a close examination of various platforms and content offered by the top three Chinese streaming services, iQiyi, Tencent Video and YouKu, this study provides an overview of these services’ international operation and starts mapping out the global presence of Chinese pop culture content.

Design/methodology/approach

This study mostly relies on empirical data collected from several sources, including documents and digital artifacts. Documents include BAT’s financial results and annual reports in recent years, as well as some analyses of their reports. Digital artifacts include hundreds of screenshots taken from various platforms run by iQiyi, Tencent Video, YouKu, and third-party platforms: Netflix, Rakuten Viki and YouTube. These data are sorted and analyzed to map out their global reach.

Findings

The study finds that the three platforms have wide global reach that can be conceptualized as the first stage of deterritorialization. This stage is carried out with scale, synergy and strings attached, and that private-sector media companies are the main force.

Practical implications

It maps out the global reach of China’s pop culture content.

Social implications

The case of global reach of China pop is a significant development in cultural globalization. The deterritorialization of Chinese media content further complicates but also advances cultural globalization.

Originality/value

By conceptualizing the global reach of Chinese streaming services as the first stage cultural deterritorialization, this study makes theoretical contributions to the broader discussion of cultural globalization. This study also makes contributions to the study of Chinese media globalization by providing micro level analysis of the global expansion of iQiyi, Tencent Video and YouKu, China’s top three video streaming services.

Enhancing microbial fuel cell performance through microbial immobilization
Authors: Mersinkova Yana , Yemendzhiev Hyusein
Published: June 2024

Bio-electrochemical Systems (BES), particularly Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC), have emerged as promising technologies in environmental biotechnology. This study focused on optimizing the anode bacterial culture immobilization process to enhance BES performance. The investigation combines and modifies two key immobilization methods: covalent bonding with glutaraldehyde and inclusion in a chitosan gel in order to meet the criteria and requirements of the bio-anodes in MFC. The performance of MFCs with immobilized and suspended cultures was compared in parallel experiments. Both types showed similar substrate utilization dynamics with slight advantage of the immobilized bio-anode considering the lower concentration of biomass. The immobilized MFC exhibited higher power generation and metabolic activity, as well. Probably, this is due to improved anodic respiration and higher coulombic efficiency of the reactor. Analysis of organic acids content supported this conclusion showing significant inhibition of the fermentation products production in the MFC reactor with immobilized anode culture.

Authors: Tran Gia Buu , Pham Ty Viet , Tuan Le Anh , Nguyen Nguyen Hoai , Vo Nguyen Huy Hoang , Do Bich Hang
Published: June 2024

Anaxagorea luzonensis A. Gray, a member of the Annonaceae family, has been used to treat a variety of illnesses for a long time. For the first time, A. luzonensis volatile compounds (ALVCs) were extracted from the leaves, and the components were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Further, the main compositions of ALVCs were also assessed for their ability to bind with anti-inflammatory proteins using a docking model. In addition, in vitro tests e.g. inhibition of protein degradation and the inhibition of nitric oxide release using RAW264.7 macrophage cells were utilized for evaluating the anti-inflammatory activity. The results showed that the principal compounds of ALVCs were bulnesol (34.1 %), cubitene (17.8 %), β-eudesmol (10.4 %), epi-longipinanol (5.9 %), and (Z)-nerolidyl acetate (5.5 %). Three compounds viz. bulnesol, cubitene, and β-eudesmol bound firmly to cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), as shown by the in silico analysis, similar to the positive control diclofenac. ALVCs effectively inhibited protein degradation with the IC50 of 31 ± 2.3 μg/mL and inhibited nitric oxide production with the IC50 of 43.30 ± 3.37 μg/mL. These findings showed that ALVCs might have a promising anti-inflammatory effect by blocking several inflammatory proteins.
Incidentally Acquiring Pitch-label Associations With a Musical Contingency Learning Task
Authors: Iorio Claudia , Bigand Emmanuel , Schmidt James R.
Published: June 2024

Incidental learning occurs rather rapidly and effortlessly in a range of different domains, such as early language acquisition, motor learning, and a wide range of more arbitrary laboratory tasks. The present report explores the efficacy of an incidental learning task in the acquisition of pitch-label associations, that is, the ability to identify and name musical notes by ear. In experiment 1, 2 and 3 participants were asked to respond to the target (a note name) while ignoring the cues (either a tone or, in one experiment, a tone with a note position). In a pretest and posttest, we further analyzed their ability to guess the name of the tone in a tone naming task. We also explored the role of intentionality in acquiring and remembering pitch-label associations, but there were only small suggestive trends for slightly better performance for a group instructed to try to learn the contingencies compared to a purely incidental learning group (i.e., with no instructions about the contingencies), suggesting that learning is at least primarily incidental. Our research opens up new venues for the investigations of incidental learning related to the acquisition of musical features useful to performance (how to play).

Spatial Patterns of Water Supply and Use in California
Authors:   University of California, San Diego, Helly John , Cayan Daniel ,   University of California, San Diego, Stricklin Jennifer ,   California Department of Water Resources, Dehaan Laurel ,   University of California, San Diego
Published: June 2024

Spatial and temporal patterns of water supply and consumptive water use were analyzed from 475 Detailed Analysis Units by County (DAUCOs) spatial units across California during 2002 through 2016 to evaluate spatial and temporal variability and how it might associate with precipitation variability and other factors. Many, but not all, DAUCOs have relatively low total water supply variability compared to that of state-wide precipitation. Such low variability, in DAUCOs having sufficient diversity of water supply sources, is the result of switching between sources as needed to maintain a reliable total water supply. We used multiple approaches to explore these variations which involved four categories of water supply (local, groundwater, imported, and other) and two categories of water use (agricultural and urban). First, a cluster analysis of the volumetric water balance data identified a small set of clusters having similar magnitudes and proportions of water supply sources and water use—some of them composed of only a few DAUCOs but accounting for a disproportionate amount of the state’s water use. Second, a principal components analysis identified leading modes of anomalous water supply and water use among the 475 DAUCOs, capturing most of the time variation during 2002 to 2016. The most prominent mode exhibits a multi-year trend, most strongly involving increasing groundwater supply and agricultural water use, and decreasing urban water use and imported water supply. Over the study period, trends in both supply and use were pronounced, but differed considerably across California DAUCOs. One predominant subset of DAUCOs grew their agricultural water use with increased groundwater supply; in contrast to a widespread group of DAUCOs which reduced their urban water use. An important result for planners is our finding that variation in precipitation—itself important—is amplified by the human response to water supply availability and regulatory policy.
New Digital Paradigm and Motherhood in Migratory Contexts
Authors: Ortiz Cobo Mónica , Jeri Levano Renzo Ismael , García Martín José
Published: June 2024

Aim. The present study aims to explore the maternal role of migrants in pre-digital and digital contexts. For this purpose, the study analyses the relationships among migrant mothers in digital and pre-digital contexts and the impact of their mother-child relationship.
Methods. Virtual ethnography has enabled the analysis of various heterogeneous moments and contexts, as well as a virtual exploration of the social networks of the twenty-four participants in this study. Meanwhile, multi-sited ethnography has allowed access to and the utilization of multiple interconnected spaces in migratory contexts.
Results. The inclusion of digital technology, the use of social networks, and the polymedia environment enable migrant mothers to challenge geographical and temporal barriers and devise strategies that allow them to maintain their mother-child relationship through ubiquitous and real-time transnational communication. This distinguishes them from migrant mothers of the pre-digital era, whose maternal roles were threatened by physical distance and the limited availability, at that time, of communication tools.
Conclusion. A new digital paradigm has enabled the construction of digital motherhood in migratory contexts, representing a significant evolution in parental dynamics affecting 21st-century mothers, often referred to as "digital natives". This technological shift has altered the traditional conception of motherhood and long-distance caregiving. Changes in family relationships redefine the migratory experience and motherhood, as well as influence processes of identity, belonging, and adaptation in virtual contexts.
The Prospects of Reading Circles for Fostering EFL Learners’ Motivation to Read and Engagement

Published: June 2024

Thesis. This study explores three important concepts in the field of language teaching. The purpose is to investigate whether reading circles are effective means of improving students’ reading motivation and engagement.
Concept. To this end, using a qualitative design, 27 students of English language and literature from the University of Mazandaran participated in the study. The data were collected through a learning journal, teacher’s field notes and a subsequent semi-structured interview. All the students were engaged in a reading circle once a week for the duration of 12 weeks. Analysis of the data was done based on coding and content analysis.
Results and Conclusion. Results indicated that reading circles had the potential to motivate learners to read more and also was an appealing activity for them to engage in and contribute to their circles. The findings suggested that the unrepeatable configuration of the group and the goal setting mindset promoted by the activity and a high sense of achievement and enjoyment after completion of the task corresponded positively with their high level of engagement and motivation to read new passages. Even though the results cannot be generalised to other contexts, they can be suggested to be applied in other EFL contexts for motivating learners to engage more in reading.
The Influence of Ottoman Culture on the Way of life of Albanian Society
Authors: Xhaferri Manjola , Tase Mirela
Published: June 2024

Aim. This paper aims to highlight the elements of Ottoman culture that have influenced Albanians' culture and way of life. Albania was under Ottoman occupation for five centuries, which has had various consequences on the country's economic, cultural, and social life.
Methods. To realize this study, a series of methods have been used, such as research, comparative, and cartographic methods. The comparative method consists of the authors confronting each other regarding the influences of Ottoman culture and how widespread it became in Albanian culture. The cartographic method aims to explain the extent of Ottoman work in Albania and whether it managed to penetrate Albanian territorial integrity.
Results. Whether we like it or not, Ottoman influences are already part of our heritage in values, customs, traditions, beliefs, material culture, folklore, clothing, architecture, and the life of Albanians.
Conclusion. The study has enabled a better understanding of the constructions of the time, their quality, level, and extent; at the same time, they testify to historical phenomena, such as the process of resistance to the invaders, the Islamization of the Albanian population, and the beginning of economic growth and especially of cities.
An Atypical Base-community
Authors: Nemes Márk
Published: June 2024

This study aims to review and refresh previous fieldwork findings of the Icelandic Ásatrúarfélagið neopagan movement. With a membership of over 5500, sensationalist media has created a magnified image of the group, depicting it as a “steadily growing ancient religion” worshipping old Norse deities, such as Odin, Thor, and Njord. Such simplifying articles overemphasized and mistook the movement’s reinterpretations of historical traditions, overexposed the construction of their new communal space, labeling it the “first pagan temple in a millennium, which cultivated a “Heathen Mecca” effect. The author of this study had the opportunity to conduct fieldwork in 2018, documenting Ásatrúarfélagið rituals and activities. 20 years after the first academic articles of the movement, the following study aims to re-evaluate previous research statements and offer novel contexts for some of the documented changes in the Ásatrúarfélagið’s rituals, self-representation, and practices.

Published: June 2024

A new azo compound 3 [2-((4-hydroxy-3-(E)-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)diazenyl)benzaldehyde] and the azo-Schiff derivative 4 [2-((4-hydroxy-3-((E)-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)diazenyl)benzylidene)amino)-4-nitrophenol[ (azo-Schiff 4) have been synthesized. 13C-NMR, 1H-NMR, FT-IR, mass spectroscopy and UV-Vis analysis was used to characterized new compounds. The new synthesized compound azo-Schiff 4 was utilized to inhibit mild steel (MS) corrosion at little concentrations (0.001–0.006 M). Weight loss measurements studies in 1 M HCl and at 298 K showed that azo-Schiff 4 has a good corrosion inhibition efficiency, 75% at 0.002 M of inhibitors. It was found that adsorption methods follow Langmuir isotherm with ΔG values around –23.8 kJ/mol; this confirms that a stable protective film is formed spontaneously during physical adsorption on the mild steel.
The Reusage of Different Wastes by Using the Multiple’s Effect Technique for Sustainable Gasoline Production
Authors: Kovač Kralj Anita
Published: June 2024

The unused garbage which is accumulating the landfills, such as raw materials, could be reused for synthetic gasoline production. This study presents the multiple’s effect technique, which is based on the reusage of different non, party and sorted municipal solid wastes (MSW), or biogas for syngas, converted into synthetic gasoline. The novelties of this technique include a basic multiple’s effect parameter (MUW), which present a level of waste sorting, an effect of oxygen inhibition into different wastes, a simplified mathematical model and simulation with an Aspen Plus® simulator using the retrofitted methanol plan converted into the synthetic gasoline production. This technique includes a circular economy by using a circulated purified flue gas as raw material, co-products of hydrogen and water. This technique was tested on an existing methanol process, replacing natural gas with different alternatives of wastes or biogas for the synthetic gasoline production. The best alternative was the sorted MSW, which could generate an additional profit of 4.8 MEUR/a, including the garbage and CO2 emission reductions of 0.106·106 t/a and of 0.084 ·106 t/a.

Blaise Pascal: Politics as a différance of God’s will
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, Vinolo Stephane
Published: June 2024

Pascal's work is punctuated by a paradox. On the one hand, only a handful of the texts that constitute it are explicitly political; on the other hand, it is haunted by a constant political concern. In order to resolve this paradox, the author shows that Pascal asks us to rethink the very definition of politics. Emerging on the basis of a double human nature marked by the Fall, violence is an ontological problem that arises from the need to preserve an infinite object for human love. For this reason, its solution lies in affective self-regulation that makes politics an exclusively behavioralist field that cannot be a part of the intimacy of individuals that belong to another order. Thus, Pascalian politics does no more than serve the same gesture of the divine creation of the human being that keeps him alive in order to praise God; Pascalian politics is, then, an indirect way of realizing God’s will: its différance.

MAIN CHALLENGES AND PRIORITIES OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE INFORMATION POLICY IN THE FIELD OF INFORMATION SECURITY AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Shustenko S.
Published: June 2024

The article analyzes the challenges and priorities of the Council of Europe's information policy in the field of information security and freedom of expression. The analysis is based on the latest research of leading international researchers, specialized bodies of the Council of Europe and universities. The main challenges in the information policy of the Council of Europe are related to information security in the era of global information technology innovations. The basis of all activities of the Council of Europe is a human rights act – the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), or in short – the European Convention on Human Rights. This regional instrument is a binding act for the regulation of information policy, as well as for the information security of the member states of the Council of Europe, which thereby undertook to protect the rights established therein, including the right to freedom of expression. It should be emphasized that the European Convention on Human Rights is a legally binding treaty, which in most countries of the continent has an almost constitutional status.

A Space to Be: Ability, Disability, and the Inevitability of Corporeal Decline in Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea
Authors: Robin Dominic
Published: June 2024

On July 2, 1961, nine years after he published The Old Man and the Sea, Ernest Hemingway died by suicide in his home in Ketchum, Idaho. With his death a persona was born. To many, Hemingway represents the quintessential anti-disability writer, the author who lived for ability, who lost ability, and who ended his life when no hope of regaining ability remained. Drawing from disability scholars such as Michael Bérubé, Timothy Jay Dolmage, David T. Mitchell and Sharon L. Snyder, I demonstrate the ways The Old Man and the Sea complicates this narrative. In particular, the novella works to legitimize the disabled body, actively subverting several common narrative tropes such narrative prosthesis, the overcoming narrative, and the kill-or-cure dichotomy. In doing so, Hemingway creates a space in which the inevitable decay of the human body must be seriously and honestly addressed. Through this research, a new more nuanced picture of Hemingway emerges, one that recognizes the complicated and dynamic nature his view of the able-bodied individual took.
Crip Encounters in the Corporate Hashtag: Complicating #BellLetsTalk
Authors: Jerreat-Poole Adan
Published: June 2024

This article investigages the annual #BellLetsTalk mental health awareness campaign through the lens of critical disability studies. Created by the telecommunications company Bell Canada, the campaign encourages social media users to share, promote, and like posts about Bell, mental health, and hyperindividualist narratives of overcoming disability and illness. However, delving deeper into the archive uncovers dissenting crip voices that resist Bell's hegemonic narrative of wellness and cure. Focalizing my analysis around a sample of 5000 tweets (including 2093 unique tweets) from the 2018 campaign, I identify distinct disabled networks emerging around the hashtag on Twitter/X: 1) feminine therapeutic networks, 2) masculine sick publics that retain an attachment to capitalism and nationalism, and 3) queer communities that keep company with ghosts. Furthermore, I identify users deliberately disidentifying with the network and occupying the role of the killjoy or "bad" avatar. This article articulates an ethical, hybrid qualitative and quantative method for working with data.
Fear of the Impaired Practitioner, Mandatory Reporting, and Clinician Suicide: A Lived Experience of Fitness to Practice Investigation as a Student
Authors: Elwyn Rosiel Jasper Diana
Published: June 2024

This article will explore the embedded culture of professional mental health stigma within the mental health professional workforce in Australia, and issues stemming from regulatory complaints processes (i.e., fitness to practice investigations) that translate into workplace stigma, placing mental health workers and student trainees at increased risk for fear and avoidance of help-seeking, isolation, burnout, and suicide. It will discuss the ethics of mandatory reporting of clinician impairment for mental health concerns, and how this compounds risk for vulnerable people, heightens masking of mental health concerns, leads to isolation, and barriers for help-seeking, and paradoxically, heightens risk to the public. The issues faced by clinicians and student trainees with Lived Experience of mental health concerns will be explored, including self-disclosure of Lived Experience of mental health concerns, diagnoses, and/or service-use in the workplace or tertiary settings; stigma and discrimination in health and mental health work and education settings and cultures of shame and ableism. Issues surrounding mandatory reporting for "impairment" and fitness-to-practice investigation, and the ethics and safety of mandatory reporting processes will also be explored. This article will use autoethnographic research methods of the author's own experience as a student subjected to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) fitness-to-practice investigation and vexatious complaint, to support the literature and fill in gaps, as real-world illustration of these issues. Finally, suggested adaptations to AHPRA's investigations program and the mandatory reporting process will be discussed.
Cerebrospinal fluid shunt catheter extrusion through the mouth in a child: a case report with brief literature review
Authors: Ghritlaharey Rajendra K.
Published: June 2024

Extrusion of the distal end of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt catheter through the mouth is a rare complication of shunt surgery performed to treat hydrocephalus. A two-year-old girl had her first CSF shunt inserted when she was six months old to treat congenital hydrocephalus. The shunt became infected 2-months later and had to be removed. A few weeks later, a new CSF shunt was inserted on the left side. One year later, she presented with an extrusion of the distal end of the CSF shunt catheter through her mouth. However, she showed no symptoms or signs of peritonitis or meningitis. Her entire CSF shunt system on the left side required removal. A cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed ventriculomegaly and a new CSF shunt catheter was implanted on the right side. She had an uneventful postoperative period and was doing well during the follow-up. Extrusion of the distal end of the CSF shunt catheter through the mouth is rare and more likely to occur in children, and clinicians need to be aware of such complications.

Senescence Model Theories from In Vitro through In Vivo
Authors: Alpay Merve
Published: June 2024

The theoretical equivalence of expressing that a cell is aging to its inability to perform the assumed function is not exactly accurate, it involves a gradual decrease in cell aging mechanisms. Factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and environmental effects maintain the biological change of the cell. The concept of cellular senescence was initially introduced by Hayflick and his collaborators in 1961 when they noticed that human diploid fibroblasts cultured in vitro could undergo only a limited number of cell divisions before their ability to proliferate was permanently halted. This phenomenon, known as the 'Hayflick limit', was subsequently linked to the gradual shortening of telomeres with each successive round of cell division. Throughout the aging process, senescent cells collect in different tissues. Their involvement in age-related health issues such as neurodegenerative disorders, heart problems, cancer, kidney-related changes, chronic lung diseases, and osteoarthritis suggests that targeting senescent cells therapeutically could be promising across various health conditions. This review will discuss the available data on which cell types may undergo aging based on biological aging and how these processes may impact age-associated tissue-specific pathologies. Additionally, the markers used to characterize the physiological transition of aging cells from in vitro to in vivo settings will be evaluated. The discussed data may serve as a significant starting point for an expanded definition of the molecular and functional characteristics of aging cells in different organs, thus supporting the development and enhancement of targeting strategies in vivo.
Edukacja obywatelska a miejsce religii w szkole. Obserwacje z perspektywy doświadczeń w Hiszpanii
Authors: Moratalla Tomás Domingo
Published: June 2024

Artykuł poświęcony jest współczesnej sytuacji nauczania etyki w szkołach ponadpodstawowych w Hiszpanii. Naświetla konteksty historyczne i systemowe, związane z wprowadzeniem tego przedmiotu do programu nauczania w latach osiemdziesiątych dwudziestego wieku, a także jego usytuowaniem w programie jako alternatywy dla nauki religii. Diagnozuje też problemy i deficyty, wynikające z wielokrotnych zmian legislacyjnych, niekonsekwentnego, instrumentalnego traktowania tego przedmiotu przez prawodawców oraz widocznego wciąż niedowartościowania go w hiszpańskim systemie edukacji. Na koniec proponuje szereg rozwiązań praktycznych, związanych z metodyką nauczania etyki oraz rolą, jaką w procesie kształcenia może odgrywać nauczyciel. Sugestie te stanowią próbę odpowiedzi na sformułowane w ustawie założenia dotyczące celów nauczania przedmiotu wartości etyczne, a przede wszystkim podkreślają bliski związek etyki z kształceniem postaw obywatelskich, praktycznym rozwijaniem dyspozycji krytycznego myślenia oraz odpowiedzialności.

Background: Micronutrient deficiency especially of zinc (Zn) impacts wheat growth and yield under both timely sown and late sown conditions. The study investigated the effect of Zn, cytokinin and gibberellic acid (GA) on growth and yield of wheat crop. The design of experiment was split-split plot having three replications. Methods: The main plots were comprised of two varieties i.e., V1 (PBW 725) and V2 (PBW 752) which were divided into three subplots Zn0 (no Zn), Zn1 (62.5 kg/ha soil application of ZnSO4) and Zn2 (31.25 kg/ha Zn in soil+foliar spray of 0.5% of ZnSO4). The subplots were further divided into four sub-sub plots i.e., H0 (no hormone), H1 (10 ppm GA), H2 (10 ppm cytokinin) and H3 (5 ppm GA+5 ppm of cytokinin). Result: The results indicated that the combination of Zn2+H1 resulted in maximum height of plant, accumulation of dry matter and straw yield for both varieties. The reported increment for all three parameters was 8.3%, 15.4% and 18.9% for V1 and 10.1%, 14.9% and 17.4% for V2, respectively. However, for both V1 and V2 a combination of Zn2+H2 improved tiller count, leaf area index and ultimately grain yield. The increment for V1 was 24.4%, 15.2% and 17.1%, while for V2 was 30.1%, 17.2% and 19.3%, respectively. The maximum harvest index value was recorded for variety V2 under Zn2+H2. The correlation analysis showed that leaf area index, number of tillers and dry matter accumulation are strongly correlated with grain yield. In general, the study emphasized that soil+foliar application of Zn alongside 10 mg/L cytokinin was most prominent in improving growth and yield of both wheat varieties.

Introduction: Stroke is the number one cause of disability and the number three cause of death in the world. The burden caused by stroke is mainly caused by disability (a public health problem) which also creates a high cost burden for the sufferer, their family, society, and the government. Methods: The type of research in this research is a case study using quantitative descriptive design methods. This research was conducted in the working area of ​​the Candi, Urang Agung, and Prambon Community Health Centers which are Community Health Centers in the Sidoarjo Regency Health Service Area. This research uses primary data and secondary data as sources of research data. Data samples were taken from 100 respondents at 9 Integrated Development Posts for Non-Communicable Diseases (IDP NCD) at the Prambon Health Center, Urangagung Health Center, and Candi Health Center, Sidoarjo Regency. Results: The research showed that the high-risk factors for stroke were hypertension in the high category at 41%, random blood sugar in the high category at 49%, cholesterol in the high category at 52%, and BMI in the high category at 40%. Conclusions: Based on the research results, the highest risk factors for stroke are cholesterol, random blood sugar, hypertension, and BMI which indicates obesity. The results of the analysis of stroke risk factors are still high, so it is necessary to optimize advocacy and integrated partnerships in stroke prevention and control through promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative activities in an integrated and sustainable manner.

It is shown that, when studying nonlinear longitudinal deformation waves in cylindrical shells, it is possible to obtain physically admissible solitary wave solutions using refined shell models. In the article, a physically admissible exact localized solution based on the Flügge – Lurie – Byrne model is constructed. An analysis of the influence of the external nonlinear elastic medium on the exact solutions obtained is carried out. It is established that the use of quadratic and cubic nonlinear deformation laws leads to nonintegrable equations with exact soliton-like solutions. However, the amplitudes of the exact solutions exceed the values of permissible displacements corresponding to the maximum points on the curves of the deformation laws of the external medium, which leads to the physical inadmissibility of these solutions.

This article studies the morphological parameters of vegetative and generative organs of different age groups of Crataegus ambigua from four populations in Western Karatau (Mangistau region, Kazakhstan). The study examined four populations Pop 1 Sultan Epe, Pop 2 Karakozaiym, Pop 3 Emdikorgan, and Pop 4 Samal located in various gorges of western Karatau. Some phylogenetic inference methods were applied using six genetic markers atpF-atpH, ITS, matK, psbK-psbI, rbcL, and trnH-psbA. We also used a statistical analysis of the vegetative and generative organs of plants for three age groups of plants (virgin, young generative, and adult generative). According to the age structure, Samal populations have a high concentration of young generative plants - 42.3% and adult generative plants - 30.9%. Morphological analysis showed the significance of the parameters of the generative organs and separated the Samal population into a separate group according to the main PCoA coordinates. The results of the floristic analysis showed that the populations in the Samal have a high concentration of species diversity. The comparative dendrogram of UPGMA shows the informativeness of the use of genetic markers and the psbK-psbI region can be used to judge the difference between the fourth Samal population and the other three.
