Application of the q-derivative operator to a specialized class of harmonic functions exhibiting positive real part
Authors: Alhindi Khadeejah Rasheed
Published: February 2025

This paper introduces a new subclass of harmonic functions with a positive real part, denoted by $ HP_q(\beta) $, where $ 0 \leq \beta < 1 $ and $ 0 < q < 1 $. A sufficient coefficient condition is established for functions within this class, which is also necessary when dealing with negative coefficients. In addition, the growth theorem is derived, and the extreme points associated with this subclass are also identified. Finally, the $ q $-integral operator for harmonic functions of the form $ f = h + g $ with a positive real part is presented.
Mujeres pacificadoras. La infanta Sancha y la resolución de conflictos en el siglo XII
Authors: Miceli Paola Alejandra
Published: February 2025

A mediados del siglo XII, la infanta Sancha Raimúndez (1095/1102- 1159) jugó un rol muy importante en la vida política del reinado de su hermano Alfonso VII. En este artículo nos proponemos examinar el accionar de Sancha en los distintos conflictos en los que intervino, muy especialmente en la pesquisa que ella misma llevó adelante en 1152 en el marco del conflicto entre el monasterio de Sahagún y el concejo de Grajal. La hipótesis que orienta el trabajo es que, si bien la infanta asumió responsabilidades políticas y judiciales, en los diplomas no deja de ser caracterizada bajo los patrones de género de la época.
Testimonios femeninos en los archivos judiciales: la acción judicial de las mujeres vizcaínas en la justicia regia a fines del siglo XV
Authors: Muñoz Saavedra Eduardo
Published: February 2025

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar el actuar en primera persona de las mujeres vizcaínas en el sistema judicial a fines del siglo XV. Para ello se ha seleccionado un grupo de fuentes judiciales en que, mujeres plenamente integradas a la sociedad, despliegan diversas estrategias procedimentales y discursivas tanto como demandantes como demandadas. Así, se busca demostrar que las mujeres, cuando se encontraban posibilitadas de protagonizar sus propias empresas judiciales, tenían los conocimientos necesarios para enfrentar el intrincado sistema judicial de fines del siglo XV, el cual, reconocía su capacidad de persecución de justicia y de defensa de su inocencia.
“Lo único irreal es la reja…”. Tras los rastros de la cárcel dieciochesca en San Miguel de Tucumán (1740-1779)
Authors: Ataliva Víctor
Published: February 2025

La cárcel colonial de San Miguel de Tucumán fue escasamente abordada por la historiografía local. En esta primera aproximación al espacio carcelario, nos proponemos reconstruir su itinerario en un período particular, desde 1740 hasta 1779, marco temporal en el que la ciudad retoma su crecimiento económico tras su relocalización y previo al impacto de las ordenanzas y bandos de buen gobierno del Antiguo Régimen. Además de determinar la trayectoria del espacio carcelario en la cartografía urbana durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, pretendemos relevar resistencias y acciones contrahegemónicas por quienes atravesaron por la experiencia del encierro.

Sevoflurane alleviates intestinal ischemia–reperfusion injury in aged mice

Published: February 2025

Sevoflurane is a widely used inhalation anesthetic during the perioperative period. Recent studies have suggested that sevoflurane has an enteroprotective effect, but its mechanism is unclear. To explore the mechanism of sevoflurane in intestinal ischemia–reperfusion injury, an intestinal ischemia–reperfusion injury mouse model was established. First, intestinal ischemia–reperfusion injury was compared between aged and young mice. The results showed that intestinal ischemia–reperfusion injury caused pathological intestinal injury and disrupted the intestinal mucosal barrier. The aged mice had more severe intestinal ischemia–reperfusion injury than the young mice and therefore had a lower survival rate. The aged mice subsequently received sevoflurane via inhalation. Sevoflurane alleviated the pathological injury to the intestinal mucosa and repaired the function of the intestinal mucosal barrier in aged mice, thus increasing the level of intestinal mucosal hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and improving the survival rate of aged mice. However, preoperative administration of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α inhibitor BAY87-2243 could counteract the enteroprotective effect of sevoflurane and lower the expression level of heme oxygenase-1, a downstream antioxidant enzyme of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α. Our findings suggest that sevoflurane alleviates intestinal ischemia–reperfusion injury in aged mice by repairing the intestinal mucosal barrier through the activation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α/heme oxygenase-1, providing a new target for the treatment of intestinal ischemia–reperfusion injury in aged mice.
Development of an effective simulation model for evaluating smoke leakage during laparoscopic surgery
Authors: Boland Patrick A. , McEntee Philip D. , Moynihan Alice , Nolan Kevin , Cahill Ronan A.
Published: February 2025

The leakage of surgical gas and smoke from the peritoneum during laparoscopy may release noxious aerosols, including potential carcinogens, viruses and other contaminants, into the operating theatre, especially into the breathing zone of the surgical team. Reliable and realistic models and methods that develop and detect surgical smoke in simulated settings are necessary to effectively test devices and strategies intended to reduce such leaks. Here, we report a novel high-fidelity laparoscopic smoke model with innovative imaging methods applicable to the theatre setting, followed by an assessment of the usefulness of commercial laparoscopic trocars and smoke evacuation methods in mitigating gas leaks. Various smoke production methods (including tissue cautery and industrial smoke machinery) and detection methods (including schlieren imaging, laser videography, intraperitoneal video recording, and an aerosol detector) were tested, with the smoke machine model proving the most reproducible. Schlieren imaging, laser videography and intraperitoneal video recording were all effective methods of surgical smoke quantification. Following model establishment, laparoscopic trocars (VersaOneTM, Medtronic, Ireland) and smoke evacuation systems (EVA15 smart insufflator and evacuator, Palliare, PlumePort Activ® Smoke Filtration Device, Conmed and ValleylabTM Smoke Evacuation System, Medtronic) were examined in a standardized way with performance assessment by three surgeons independently using a boutique scoring system. The EVA15 outperformed other smoke systems in clearing surgical smoke from the operative field and in reducing trocar leaks during instrumentation. This method of simulated surgical smoke production and assessment can benchmark other laparoscopic equipment regarding smoke management strategies in a similar fashion.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an adjunt treatment for glioma and brain metastasis: a literature review
Authors: Cai Tengteng
Published: February 2025

The incidence and mortality rates of malignant tumors are increasing annually, with gliomas and brain metastases linked to a poor prognosis. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a promising treatment modality for both gliomas and brain metastases. It can alleviate tumor hypoxia and enhance radiosensitivity. When combined with other treatments for gliomas, this therapy has the potential to enhance survival rates. This review addresses the progress in research on the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with radiotherapy. For brain metastases, the combination of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery is both feasible and advantagenous. This combination not only offers protection against radiation-induced brain injury but also supports the recovery of neurological and motor functions. The incidence of adverse reactions to hyperbaric oxygen therapy is relatively low, and it is safe and manageable. Future efforts should be made to investigate the mechanisms by which hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with radiotherapy treats gliomas and brain metastases, optimize protection of the combined treatment against brain injury, minimizing adverse reactions, conducting multidisciplinary research and clinical trials, and training healthcare providers to facilitate broader clinical application.
Nanomaterials as medicinal gas sensors described by density functional theory: a comprehensive review
Authors: de Oliveira Sobrinho Handriela Hoff , Eising Renato , Wrasse Ernesto Osvaldo
Published: February 2025

Using medical gas detectors offers a promising and non-invasive approach for the early identification of diseases. This technique provides a less painful and more accessible alternative to traditional diagnostic methods. In the development of these new detection methods, the use of nanomaterials as gas sensors has proven advantageous due to their large surface areas, which enhance reactivity and sensitivity in identifying volatile compounds. To evaluate the behavior of nanomaterials when in contact with medical gases, ab initio computational simulations based on density functional theory have shown to be effective. This literature review presents studies that have applied density functional theory to investigate intermolecular interactions between specific nanosystems and gases, such as toluene, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and nitric oxide. These studies have yielded promising results related to adsorption and dissociation energies, electronic properties, energy gaps, bond lengths, and charge transfer, suggesting the potential of nanomaterials as effective sensors for medical gas detection.

The Redundancy Matrix as a Performance Indicator for Structural Assessment
Authors: Forster David , von Scheven Malte
Published: February 2025

The degree of static indeterminacy and its spatial distribution characterize load-bearing structures independent of a specific load case. The redundancy matrix stores the distribution of the static indeterminacy on its main diagonal, and thereby offers the possibility to use this property for the assessment of structures. It is especially suitable to be used in early planning stages for design exploration. In this paper, performance indicators with respect to robustness and assemblability are derived from the redundancy matrix. For each of the performance indicators, a detailed matrix-based derivation is given and the application is showcased with various truss examples.

Die griechisch-römische Antike war eine faszinierende Epoche, die eine Fülle von Bild-, Text- und Sachquellen hinterlassen hat. Insbesondere im nichtgymnasialen Geschichtsunterricht schrumpft das Altertum jedoch oft auf ein stark reduziertes Zerrbild zusammen und die Quellenauswahl der Schulbücher ist sehr überschaubar. Der vorliegende Band versucht auf Höhe der althistorischen Forschung, Lehrern und Lehrerinnen ein Quellenangebot zu machen, das über die Schulbücher hinausgeht und so ein sinnliches wie selbstdenkendes Lernen über die Antike ermöglicht. Ereignis-, Alltags-, Sozial- und Rezeptionsgeschichte werden dabei umfangreich berücksichtigt und schülergerecht aufbereitet.

The culture that is rooted in the midst of society today is a legacy from the ancestors. One way for the ancestors to preserve the culture is to express their ideas or culture in writing. Ancient Sundanese manuscripts are cultural products of the past, the work of previous scholars who stored intellectual and spiritual wealth full of local wisdom values. Through the analysis of ancient Sundanese manuscripts scattered, both domestically and abroad, it was found that the manuscripts covered various aspects of community life in the past such as politics, economics, socio-culture, and history. The purpose of this service is to introduce ancient Sundanese manuscripts as a cultural heritage of the previous scholars to the women of the Taklim Branch of Aisyiyah Gegerbitung Branch, Sukabumi Regency so that the work of the previous scholars can be a source of inspiration in building a nation based on Islamic values and local wisdom today. The results of this service activity show that people often encounter various types of ancient Sundanese manuscripts in their daily lives, but do not realize how important these manuscripts are. Therefore, this service is a very important activity for the preservation and utilization of ancient Sundanese Manuscripts as an effort to enrich and advance Islamic cultural life in Indonesia.

Материнство и детство по Каноническим ответам митрополита Иоанна
Authors: Костромин К.А.
Published: February 2025

Материнство и детство, обладавшие особым положением в дохристианской Руси, в первых древнерусских правовых памятниках получают высокий социальный статус. Канонические ответы митрополитов Георгия и Иоанна направлены на защиту жизни и положения новорожденного ребенка, его статуса, приобретаемого в крещении. Однако они по-разному смотрели на отношение матери и болезненного ребенка на практику поста. Трехлетний нормативный возраст крещения детей, вводимый митр. Иоанном, ставит вопрос о имянаречении, соотношении оглашения, крещения и постригов, однако в случае угрозы жизни ребенка митрополит однозначно предпочитает пренебрегать сроками ради сохранения жизни. Еще более сложную правовую проблему представляет статус доилицы (кормилицы), упоминаемой в Канонических ответах.

Motherhood and childhood, which had a special position in pre-Christian Rus’, receive a high social status in the first ancient Russian legal monuments. The Canonical Answers of Metropolitans George and John are aimed at protecting the life and status of a newborn child, its status acquired in baptism. However, they looked differently at the attitude of the mother and sick child to the practice of fasting. The three-year standard age for the children baptism, introduced by Metropolitan John, raises the question of naming, the relationship between catechumenate, baptism and tonsure, but in the threat to the life of a child, the Metropolitan clearly prefers to neglect the terms for the sake of preserving life. An even more complex legal problem is the status of the milker, mentioned in the Canonical Answers.
Град земной и град Небесный. Новые образы в иконописи эпохи Василия III
Authors: Самойлова Т.Е.
Published: February 2025

В статье подвергаются иконографическому анализу две иконы, происходящие из Успенского собора Московского Кремля: «Апокалипсис» начала XVI в. и «Благословенно воинство Небесного Царя» первой трети XVI в. Обе иконы отражают эсхатологические представления эпохи Василия III. Целый ряд иконографических мотивов, впервые появившихся в иконе «Апокалипсис», были развиты в несколько более позднем произведении, иконе «Благословенно воинство Небесного Царя», превратившись в законченную картину эсхатологического шествия святых во главе с царем Константином к Небесному Иерусалиму. Программа этой иконы по сравнению с «Апокалипсисом» дает представление о новом этапе переживания апокалиптических настроений времени правления Василия III, отчетливо сформулированных в трудах старца Филофея, ставших ответом на вызов современных ему западных астрологов.

The article presents an iconographic analysis of two icons, originating from the Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin: the “Apocalypse” of the beginning of the 16th century and “Blessed is the army of the Heavenly Tsar” of the first third of the 16th century. Both icons reflect the eschatological ideas of the era of Basil III. A number of iconographic motifs, that first appeared in the icon “Apocalypse”, were developed in a somewhat later work, the icon “Blessed is the army of the Heavenly Tsar”, turning into a complete picture of the eschatological procession of saints under led by Tsar Constantine to Heavenly Jerusalem. The program of this icon, in comparison with the “Apocalypse”, gives an idea of a new stage of experiencing the apocalyptic moods of the reign of Basil III, which were clearly formulated in the writings of Elder Philotheus, which became a response to the challenge of modern Western astrologers.
Количество и состав причта, церквей и монастырей Елецкого уезда по данным переписной книги 1678 г.
Authors: Авксентьев М.В.
Published: February 2025

Изучение переписных книг важно, так как благодаря таким статистическим данным есть возможность изучить состояние общества в конкретный период времени. Перепись 1678 г. осуществлялась, когда Российское государство было в состоянии вой­ны с Османской империей и одновременно требовалось проведение реформ государственного управления. Во главе государства стоял молодой царь Федор Алексеевич, который в течение своего недолгого правления осуществил ряд государственных и церковных реформ. Данные для своих реформ царь получал также из полученных результатов переписи 1678 г. Значимым событием церковной реформы был Собор 1682 г. Подготавливаясь к нему, царь использовал данные переписи для составления предложений Собору по увеличению епархий и епископата. В настоящей статье представлены результаты изучения переписной книги 1678 г. Елецкого уезда в части церковной стороны жизни общества, а именно количество церквей и монастырей Елецкого уезда, состав и количество священно- и церковнослужителей.

It is quite important to study census books as historical sources, because such statistical data make it possible to study the state of a society in a specific period of time. The census of 1678 was carried out when the Russian State was waging war with the Osman Empire and at the same time needed administration reforms. The young tsar Fyodor Alekseevich was at the head of the state and during his short-term reign, he carried out a number of administration and church reforms. The tsar received some data for his reforms from the census of 1678. A significant event of the church reform was the Council of 1682. Preparing for it, the tsar used census data, making proposals to the Council to increase the number of dioceses and episcopate. The article presents the results of studying the 1682 census book of Yelets county. The results deal with the church life of society, namely the number of churches and monasteries in Yelets county, the composition and number of clergy and church servers.
«Учение о числах» Кирика Новгородца как ключ к «Вопрошанию» (о проблеме Раннего Возрождения в средневековой Руси)
Authors: Симонов Р.А.
Published: February 2025

В статье рассматривается принципиально новый подход к творчеству инока Антониева монастыря Кирика. В начале XX в. Е. Е. Голубинский отмечал, что математичес текст Кирика «не имеет практического значения ни для истории, ни для чего бы то ни было». Несмотря на дружное выступление ученых в защиту Кирика как высококлассного математика, так и оставалось неясным — для чего он написал «Учение о числах» (1136 г.). Сейчас этот вопрос может сдвинуться с мертвой точки — в связи с возможностью трактовки не так давно найденной в Новгороде берестяной грамоты № 686 (1150–1190 гг.) как результата полемики о решении достаточно сложной математической задачи. Расшифровка задачи показывает, что решение математических задач захватывало часть новгородского населения, что и приводило к организации математических диспутов. Этому также могла способствовать известная новгородская традиция: решать политические и другие жизненные вопросы на вече, внешне чем-то напоминавшем диспут. Если «Учение о числах» предназначалось для подготовки к диспутам, то оно должно было отражать не один, а несколько «злободневных» вопросов из математики. Об этом как будто свидетельствует содержание «Учения о числах»: в нем рассматривается не один, а несколько вопросов: по хронологии, расчетной пасхалистике, циклах «поновления» стихий, дробном делении часа. Исследовательская работа в данном новом научном направлении ранее не велась.

A fundamentally new approach to the work of Kirik, a monk of St Anthony’s Monastery, is presented. At the beginning of the 20th century, E. E. Golubinsky noted that Kirik’s mathematical text “has no practical significance either for history or for anything else”. Despite the unanimous opposition by scientists in defense of Kirik as a highly qualified mathematician, the reason of his writing “The Doctrine of Numbers” (1136) remained unclear. Nowadays this issue may break deadlock — as there is a possibility of interpreting birch bark letter No. 686 (1150–1190) recently found in Novgorod, being the result of a controversy on how to solve a rather complex mathematical problem. Decoding the problem shows that the solution of mathematical problems involved part of the Novgorod population, which resulted in the mathematical disputes. This might also have been reinforced by the well-known tradition in Novgorod: the way to resolve political and other vital issues at a veche (a gathering of all free male residents), which looked sort of a debate. If “The Doctrine of Numbers” was intended to get prepared for disputes, then it had to reflect not one, but several “topical” issues from mathematics. This seems to be evidenced by the content of “The Doctrine of Numbers”: it examines not one, but several issues: chronology, calculated Paschalism, cycles of “renewing” the elements, fractional division of an hour. Research in this new scientific direction has not been attempted before.
Эволюция «жидовского» компонента новгородской ереси и проблемы кодикологии
Authors: Манохин А.А.
Published: February 2025

Статья представляет собой ответ на критику моей книги со стороны А. И. Алексеева. Свежим взглядом коллега отыскал в ней несколько слабых мест. Однако большая час критики вполне оспорима. Показана эволюция «жидовского» компонента обвинений, претерпевшего радикальные изменения уже на этапе Собора 1490 г. Именно это обстоятельство резко снижает достоверность «Просветителя», написанного после 1490 г., на основе которого делает выводы А. И. Алексеев. Кроме того, исследователь не учитывает кодикологию «Просветителя». Вновь приведены доказательства первичности Сказаний о скончании седьмой тысяч перед «Просветителем». Приведены доказательства того, что прп. Иосиф Волоцкий не является автором «Послания о Троице».

The article is an answer to the critique of my book by A. I. Alexeev. Thanks to his fresh look, the colleague has found some weak points. However, most of the criticism can be well disputed. Evolution of the “Judaizers” component of accusations is described, which was radically changed already at the stage of the Council of 1490. It is this circumstance that sharply reduces the reliability of the “Enlightener” written after 1490 and being the basis for the conclusions drawn by Alexeev. Moreover, Alexeev doesn’t take into account the codicology of the “Enlightener”. Evidences that the “Tales about the end of the seventh thousand” were written before the “Enlightener” are presented once again. Also provided are evidences that Rev. Josef Volotsky is not the author of the “Epistle on the Trinity”.

В работе рассматриваются наименования больших чисел в старославянских, древнерусских и старорусских текстах, такие как: тьма, легион, леодр, вран/ворон, колода, несъвѣда, присмягъ, тагма, орелъ, аминь, коны, леопатръ, колесо. Семантическое исследование точных значений наименований больших чисел выявило основные системы значений и вместе с тем ложную атрибуцию значения «10 в 49 степени» для колоды.

The article devoted to the names of large numbers in Old Slavonic and Old Russian texts, such as: t’ma, legion, leodr, vran/voron, koloda, nes’veda, prismyag’, tagma, oryol, amin’, kony, leopatr, koleso. A semantic study of the numeral meanings of the names of large numbers reveals the basic systems of meanings and at the same time a false attribution of the meaning of “10 to the 49th degree” for the koloda.

В статье рассматривается творчество византийского историка Феофилакта Симокатты, секретаря императора Ираклия (610–641). Автор исследует историю самозванца Лже-Феодосия в историческом сочинении Феофилакта, подвергает критике концепцию Пауля Шпека о спасении настоящего Феодосия в 602 г., анализирует сообщения Феофилакта об аварах. Вывод заключается в том, что Феофилакт преднамеренно фальсифицировал события царствования императора Маврикия (582–602), прежде всего, вопрос о происхождении аваров в тюркской пропагандистской интерпретации, чтобы создать образ Ираклия — спасителя отечества.

The article examines the work of the Byzantine historian Theophylact Simokatta, secretary of the Emperor Heraclius (610–641). The author examines the history of the impostor False Theodosius in the historical work of Theophylact, criticizes Paul Speck’s concept of the salvation of the real Theodosius in 602, analyzes Theophylact’s messages about the Avars. The conclusion lies in the fact that Theophylact deliberately falsified the events of the reign of Emperor Maurice (582–602), first of all, the question of the origin of the Avars in the Turkic propaganda interpretation in order to create the image of Heraclius — the savior of the fatherland.
Князья-чудотворцы: Несколько замечаний о природе княжеской святости на Руси XI–XIII вв.
Authors: Гайденко П.И.
Published: February 2025

Находясь на поверхности, феномен чудес, связанных с правителями, в кругу историков остается малоинтересным. Но и прежде названная проблема долгое время не рассматривалась как актуальная, а святость правителей оказывалась в тени или даже за спиной друго близкой и в чем-то созвучной концепции сакральности королевской и княжеской власти. При том, что основное внимание М. Блока оказалось сосредоточено на истории королей Франции, а повествование М. Ю. Парамоновой выстроено вокруг образов Вацлава, а также Борис и Глеба, высказанные в упомянутых исследованиях наблюдения и идеи вполне могут быть применимы и к иным носителям высшей государственной власти. В результате представляет интерес рассмотреть феномен чудес, связанных с правителями Руси XI–XIII вв., не ограничиваясь образами святых братьев Бориса и Глеба.

Being on the surface, the phenomenon of miracles associated with rulers remains of little interest among historians. However even before, the named problem was not considered relevant for a long time, and the rulers’ holiness turned out to be in the shadow of or even behind another, close and somewhat similar concept of sacredness of royal and princely power. Given that M. Blok’s main attention was focused on the history of the kings of France, and M. Yu. Paramonova’s narrative is built around the images of Vaclav, as well as Boris and Gleb, the observations and ideas expressed in the mentioned studies may well be applicable to some other holders of supreme state power. As a result, it is of interest to consider the phenomenon of miracles associated with the rulers of Rus’ in the 11th‑13th centuries, without being limited to the images of the holy brothers Boris and Gleb.
A Note on Strategic Trade Applications and Public Support Selection in the Aerospace industry: Which Subsidy for Airliner Manufacturers?
Authors: Zervos Vasilis
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Policy makers and academics have long analyzed a duopoly in the commercial airliners manufacturers industry between Airbus and Boeing. Particular attention has been paid to the structure and performance of the industry, as well as the crucial role of subsidies in the context of strategic trade theory and applications, leading to one of the longest World Trade Organization cases. This analysis is becoming increasingly topical as both competitors experience significant backlogs with indications that their capacity does not meet demand, public discussion on subsidies is increasing and new contenders in the long haul market are becoming visible. The modeling method developed compares and evaluates government support in the forms of capacity enhancement with the relevant support of per unit cost on the performance of the domestic firm. The results are compatible with the stylized evidence, revealing that the capacity enhancement mechanism is inferior in boosting the domestic firm’s performance.
The Influence of Indigenous Oral Storytelling on Western Literary Forms: A Study of Joy Harjo's Poetic Narratives
Authors: Glyal Mohanad Ghanim
Published: February 2025

This postcolonial deconstructive analysis of American Indian literature builds on hard postcolonial theoretical work. However, it also places very much emphasis on the often-oral tradition of a large portion of American Indian literatures. The works of Joy Harjo are only a small part of this tradition, which separates it from other postcolonial literatures. My essay attempts to make new statements about the importance of American Indian storytelling, particularly as developed in Harjo's poetic narratives. I hope to provide some diverse and inspired reading of Harjo's poetry, looking at the influences that the organic fusion of the oral and written traditions has on postcolonial writing. As with much postcolonial writing, the difficulty with Harjo's varied poetry is that it is not glaringly postcolonial in the traditional sense or even, as critics concerned with postcolonial literatures show, in a wider presence of the other in mainstream literature. But it is perhaps such integrated cultural voices that will make the more political aspects of Harjo's writing more meaningful to others who might not be used to her postcolonial context. This essay focuses on the influence of oral storytelling traditions of Indigenous peoples on Western literary forms, with a particular focus on Joy Harjo's use of poetic narratives. It suggests that a blending or merging of approaches towards different modes of narration, as seen in Harjo's poetics, allows a possibility for new articulations of old stories to emanate. Such efforts facilitate the creation of a space that can voice the thoughts, feelings, and attitudes of the present.

This research was motivated by the situation that the academic information system (SIAKAD) Universitas Teknologi Indonesia (UTI) had never been tested for usability based on user responses. Apart from that, the flow that occurs in the UTI academic information system is not yet coherent. From the user's side, the information guide feature for using SIAKAD UTI is not yet available. Based on this, the research aimed to: 1) describe the results of Usability evaluation using the Concurrent Think-Aloud and Webuse methods on the Academic Information System of Indonesia Technology University; 2) describe recommendations for usability evaluation of the Concurrent Think-Aloud and Webuse methods on the Academic Information System of the Indonesia Technology University; and 3) create a simulation of SIAKAD UTI development and describe the test results using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method. The research method used a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, so that data obtained is more comprehensive, valid, reliable, and objective. Usability evaluation data through the Concurrent Think-Aloud method was collected using interviews, usability evaluation through the Webuse method was collected using a questionnaire, and satisfaction data through the SUS method was collected using a questionnaire. The results of the development carried out in this research can be concluded as follows. (1) The SIAKAD UTI evaluation results through the Concurrent Think-Aloud method showed that many navigation buttons did not function, inconsistent button features, disproportionate location/buttons position, and inappropriate color selection. Therefore, the evaluation results through the Concurrent Think-Aloud Method showed that SIAKAD UTI needs to be improved. (2) The SIAKAD UTI evaluation results through the Webuse method obtained an overall mean value of usability points, namely 0.23, in the range 0.2 < x ?0.4 with a usability level category of Poor, which means that it is necessary to improve the development of SIAKAD UTI. (3) Based on the evaluation results, a SIAKAD UTI development simulation was carried out, followed by a satisfaction test using SUS. The average score obtained after processing the assessment scores from respondents with an average value of 97.35, which showed that respondents were very satisfied using the results of the SIAKAD UTI development simulation.

Psychoactive substance use (PSU) is a common occurrence among commercial bus drivers in Lagos, Nigeria. This could result from desires to stay awake throughout lengthy travels, hard working hours, increase productivity, unfavorable working circumstances and sales of alcoholic beverages in motor parks and its environs. This study investigates some psychosocial predictors of psychoactive substance use among commercial bus drivers in Lagos state. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 471 participants comprising of males only. Respondents’ mean age was 40.7 years. Data were collected using Index of Self-Esteem (ISE), Drug Use Disorder Identification Test (DUDIT) and Big Five Inventory. A 68.5% prevalence of PSU was reported by participants. Agreeableness (β = -.106; t = -2.16, p <.05), conscientiousness (β = -.15; t = -2.96, p < .01), and openness to experience (β = -.15; t= -2.58, p < .01) significantly and independently predicted PSU while extraversion (β =-.09; t = -1.63, p> .05), and neuroticism (β = - .08; p = >.05) do not significantly and independently predict PSU among the participants. Self-esteem significantly and independently predicted PSU among the participants. Age does not significantly predict PSU among the participants. Significant difference in the PSU was found among the respondents based on their educational qualifications and marital status. Authors concluded that personality traits (Openness to experiences, consciousness, extroversion, agreeableness and Neuroticism) and self-esteem are significant independent predictors of PSU among commercial bus drivers in Lagos, Nigeria. Therefore, implementing educational interventions that focus on the risks of substance abuse and healthy coping mechanisms can be beneficial.

The cosmetics industry, particularly the makeup segment, is a dynamic and fast-evolving sector contributing significantly to global markets. Makeup products, classified as colour cosmetics, include lipstick, foundation, and eyeliner, and are integral to modern beauty routines. The growth of this segment is driven by innovations in long-lasting formulations, natural and organic ingredients, and culturally aligned products like Muslim-friendly cosmetics. The Malaysian makeup market showcases unique characteristics, with local brands such as Nurraysa addressing cultural and religious needs, while international players dominate in market share. Younger demographics, heavily influenced by societal beauty standards and social media, represent the largest consumer base, further fuelling industry expansion. Despite its rapid growth, the industry faces challenges in understanding localized consumer behaviour and adapting to evolving trends. This study reviews the makeup industry, examining trends, consumer behaviour, and market dynamics, while offering insights into opportunities for innovation and differentiation in a competitive landscape. The findings aim to benefit both practitioners and researchers seeking to navigate and contribute to the future of the cosmetics industry.
