Authors: López González Ariel , Moreno Espino Mailyn , Hadfeg Fernández Yahima
Published: June 2024

Las circunstancias que vivió el mundo durante la Covid-19 obligaron a las instituciones educativas a considerar la educación a distancia como alternativa viable, apoyadas por las Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones (TICs). No obstante, la calidad de la educación a distancia presenta desafíos adicionales debido a la falta de supervisión directa de un profesor y a la motivación de los estudiantes. Es primordial aprovechar las TIC para la formación interactiva y fomentar la práctica de los conocimientos y la autoevaluación. Los dispositivos móviles son una herramienta adecuada para ello, debido a su amplia disponibilidad y facilidad de uso. En el trabajo se expone el desarrollo de una aplicación móvil que funciona como entrenador para los estudiantes, proporcionando un sistema de preguntas y respuestas para practicar los conceptos teóricos y evaluar el rendimiento. Este enfoque es importante para garantizar un proceso de aprendizaje de calidad en la educación a distancia y aprovechar las ventajas que ofrecen las TICs. Para validar la generalización de la propuesta, se desarrolló un estudio de casos con dos unidades de análisis donde se utiliza la aplicación: en un contexto académico y en un contexto de entrenamiento de operarios de calderas.

Physicochemical properties of tablet dosage form based on pre-gelatinized- and phosphorylated-modified starches from white-water yam (Dioscorea alata L.)
Authors: Sulastri E. , Yusriadi Y. , Ma’rifa M. , Mulyani M. , Aanisah N.
Published: June 2024

Background

White-water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) is one of the potential sources of starch; however, it is not yet available for commercial purposes. Besides, native white-water yam starch (WS) presents limited functionality due to poor flowability, mechanical properties and instability at high temperature and acidic conditions. Therefore, this study aims to modify the starch to improve its characteristics and make it useful as an excipient for the preparation of the tablets.

Materials and methods

The modification of WS was achieved by physical and chemical treatments, specifically pre-gelatinization and phosphorylation, respectively. Pre-gelatinization WS involves heating, meanwhile phosphorylation WS is obtained by treating WS with sodium tripolyphosphate.

Results

The results showed that the powder of the modified WS has good characteristics which improved the flowability of the powder mixture as a granule based on density, porosity, compressibility index and swelling power determination. The WS granules were found to display the oval or irregular (polygonal) shape with the amylose content 11.92±0.61% for unmodified WS, 10.41±0.90% for pre-gelatinized WS and 12.61±1.75% for phosphorylated WS. Furthermore, the granule was formulated as an excipient in tablet preparations, and the formulas were compressed after wet granulation. The mechanical properties of the tablets were assessed using uniformity of mass and size, hardness, friability and disintegration time. WS modification affects the hardness of tablets when used as a binder. Phosphorylated WS is recommended to be used as a binder in wet granulation formulations because it produces tablets with a longer disintegration time, which means better binding ability. However, the utilization of modified WS with both pre-gelatinization and phosphorylation leads to tablets with low brittleness compared to others with unmodified binder with the disintegration time still met the requirement of fast disintegrating tablet (<15 minutes).

Conclusion

All the physical properties studied indicated that the modified WS is a promising pharmaceutical excipient in tablets.
De-Dollarisation in International Payments: Trend or Fiction
Authors: Todorova Vesela , Moraliyska Monika , Raycheva Iva
Published: June 2024

The present research paper is focused the widely debated topic related to de-dollarization. It examines the trend of de-dollarization to check if the statements that the dollar is losing its weight and is about to lose its leading position in international trade payments are substantiated. Firstly, the theoretical framework behind the dollarization is explored. Secondly, the factors believed to be the basis of the de-dollarization process have been identified and analyzed, which are related to: geopolitical processes, changes in international payments policy in some BRICS countries, changes in international trade, etc. A performed analysis of the currency turnover in international trade, based on data from official sources, was made through forecast regression, which predicts the development of the share of the dollar in international payments. A correlation matrix was also calculated, showing the correlation links between the dollar and the other leadng currencies. The hypothesis, which is confirmed by the practical research, is that the de-dollarization process is proceeding slowly and uncertainly, and will continue to develop at a low pace leading to insignificant changes in the structure of the currency composition of international payments in the short and medium term. Further research could further explore each of the factors that could lead to a real dedollarisation trend in international payments.
On a generalization of the Cahn-Hilliard type equation with logarithmic nonlinearities in island formation
Authors: Fakih Hussein , Badreddine Marwa , Alsayed Hawraa , Awad Yahia
Published: June 2024

In this paper, the main objective is to demonstrate the existence of solutions for an equation resembling the Cahn-Hilliard model, featuring a proliferation term and a logarithmic nonlinear term. This equation is conceptualized within the context of interactions in liquid-gas systems, particularly in the context of island formation. The primary challenge lies in the departure from the original Cahn-Hilliard equation, as we no longer maintain conservation of the spatial average mean of the order parameter. This departure introduces the complexity in establishing uniform estimates for the solutions of the approximated problems concerning the regularization parameter, as it may potentially result in finite-time blow-up.
Non-Ricardian Borrowers and Mortgage Type: Implications for Monetary Policy Leaning against the Wind
Authors: Pietrzak Marcin
Published: June 2024

Leaning against the wind of credit booms is a monetary policy that is tighter than what is consistent with standard inflation targeting. This way the central bank tries to address excessive household debt. While the merits of such policy have been analysed, I argue that there are two dimensions that have been overlooked but are crucial: (i) ability of borrowers to freely adjust outstanding debt (refinancing) and (ii) dominant mortgage type in the economy (fixed or adjustable rate). I answer the research question using a standard macroeconomic model extended for the presence of borrowers who consume all their disposable income (hand-to-mouth) net of payments on long-term mortgage. I find that the optimal simple policy rule significantly depends on the ability to adjust debt and on mortgage type. Policy prescriptions based on models not accounting for these realistic features may lead to wrong monetary decisions.
Analyzing Professions of Faith in the Fourth Gospel: is Everyone Who Believes Saved?
Authors: Croteau David A.
Published: June 2024

This study will examine the different formulae used in the Fourth Gospel to see if they are the key indicator to whether a character being described has adequate or inadequate belief in Jesus. First, the Greek verb for believe in connection to prepositions will be examined. The two main categories are believing in Jesus and believing the correct content about Jesus. Verb tenses and moods in connection to the Greek verb for believe will also be studied. All of this examination concludes that the most important factor is the portrayal of the character in the narrative context. It is not the nuance of the Greek that is most important, but how characters are actually portrayed by the author of the Fourth Gospel. Johannine belief will be defined and two examples of application to characters in the Fourth Gospel will be given.
Sin and Perfection in 1 John
Authors: Kruse Colin G.
Published: June 2024

Early in 1 John, the author portrays authentic Christian living as involving honest and ongoing acknowledgment of one’s sins, God’s forgiveness of the same, and the cleansing from all unrighteousness (1:8-9). However, later in the same letter, while seeking to distinguish his opponents from those who were the true children of God, he says: ‘No one who abides in him sins; no one who sins has either seen him or known him’ (3:6); and ‘those who have been born of God do not sin, because God’s seed abides in them; they cannot sin, because they have been born of God.’ (3:9). These latter statements stand in tension with his earlier statement which says that anyone claiming to be without sin is a liar. In one place he rejects sinless perfection, in the other he appears to assume it. In this article these apparently contradictory statements are examined and a possible resolution of the tension existing between them is suggested.
Rev 3:10: Rapture or Preservation?
Authors: Kellum Scott
Published: June 2024

At Rev 3:10 the risen Lord makes a promise to the Church at Philadelphia. While it is a rather straightforward pledge, it has far-ranging implications depending on how one understands the details of the verse. Understandably, it has become somewhat of a crux interpretum for many. Many of those in the dispensational tradition understand that this verse refers to the secret rapture of the church. Those in the historic premillennial and amillennial tradition often see this as a reference to the saints being preserved through the tribulation period. In the treatment below I will interpret Rev 3:10 in somewhat of a different trajectory. I will suggest that the promise given by the Lord must be understood to directly include the Philadelphian believers as well as subsequent followers. I will also suggest that the promise is an assurance of spiritual safety through (at least) the preliminary judgments represented by opening the first four seals of the opisthograph described at 5:1–6:8.
John and the Synoptic Gospels. What John Knew and What John Used
Authors: Mihăilă Corin
Published: June 2024

The relationship of John’s Gospel to the Synoptics Gospels is difficult to explain. That is the reason why there have been many proposals, even from the beginning of the church. Not even today, scholars have reached consensus. Rather, there are many competing explanations. Yet, they can be grouped into three categories, according to what John knew and what he used in writing his gospel: (1) John did not know the Synoptics; (2) John knew the Synoptics and used them as literary sources; and (3) John knew the Synoptics but did not use them. Of these three categories, the third one best explains the similarities and the differences between John and the Synoptics. But beyond stating that John knew the Synoptics but did not use them as literary sources, one is on a rather uncertain territory. Therefore, it is historically and literarily plausible to see John as being aware of the Synoptics and even having read them, but whether he chose to harmonize them, adapt them, supplement them, or reinterpret them, is less clear. In the end, it is clear that John wrote a different Gospel, yet it should be read alongside and not instead of the Synoptics.

Authors: Numan Jamal A. A. , Yusoff Izham Mohamad
Published: June 2024

Real estate appraisal, also known as property valuation, plays a crucial role in numerous economic activities and financial decisions, such as taxation assessment, bank lending, and insurance, among others. However, the current methods used in real estate appraisal face several challenges related to fundamental aspects such as accuracy, interpretation, data availability, and evaluation metrics. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify the current status of real estate appraisal methods, highlighting challenges and providing guidance for scholars to undertake further research in addressing them. The methodology retrieves the most recent papers published in the Scopus database over the past five years, covering the period from 2019 to the end of 2023, with an emphasis on empirical studies. These retrieved papers serve as references to capture the current status of real estate appraisal methods. The research findings confirm a clear trend towards increased utilization of artificial intelligence techniques, especially machine learning, but with unfinished work regarding related challenges. Artificial intelligence techniques enhance the accuracy of real estate appraisal, paving the way for improved decision support systems in business, financial, and economic sectors.
Identification of three large full-sib families of Quercus rubra for genetic mapping in an isolated planting outside the species’ range in Germany
Authors: Dominguez-Flores Tania , Chano Victor , Gailing Oliver
Published: June 2024

Forest tree breeding faces challenges due to long generation times and high costs. To address these issues, the concept of “breeding without breeding” (BwB) offers the opportunity to accelerate breeding cycles by using naturally generated half- sib and full-sib families. An isolated population of trees may provide an ideal environment to identify full-sib families for genetic mapping without the need for controlled pollination. In this study, paternity analysis based on genotyping of 16 SSR markers in 1232 seedlings identified three large full-sib families of Quercus rubra (Qr_N - Qr_W with 576 siblings, Qr_N - Qr_S with 175 siblings and 124 siblings in the family Qr_P - Qr_11). Paternity assignments were effectively corroborated by segregation analysis, resulting in large F1 full-sib families for further experiments such as Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) mapping.

Objective: This study aimed to determine how well-informed the undergraduate medical students of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, were on the importance of calcium and vitamin D.
Methods: Using an online self-administered, pre-designed questionnaire distributed from July to August 2021, a cross-sectional study was conducted among fellow undergraduate medical students at King Abdulaziz University (KAU) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Results: A total of 472 undergraduate medical students participated in the study, where number of students in their clinical years was predominant (61.7%; n = 291). Nearly all the students were aware of the significance of vitamin D (99.6%; n = 470) and calcium (99.8%; n = 471) as essential components for body functioning. Their main knowledge sources were doctors (79.9%; n = 377) and social media (77.1%; n = 364). However, their general attitude was inadequate, with female students exhibiting a better attitude towards sunlight exposure and diet, including supplements.
Conclusion: The current study showed that undergraduate medical students of both genders at KAU were satisfactorily informed about the significance of calcium and vitamin D. Female students displayed a better attitude, yet the overall attitude was still inadequate. More effort is required to encourage and guide students.

Abstract
Water is an important material in Hinduism, including in Bali. The holy book Bhagavad Gītā, Mānava Dharmaśāstra, as well as a number of manuscripts in Bali teach water conservation. However, currently there is water pollution in lakes, rivers and the sea. This causes concern, because Bali has long been famous for its natural beauty and sustainability. The main cause of pollution is human activity, such as the disposal of rubbish and waste which has an impact on water quality. This is in contrast to Hinduism which teaches the preservation of nature, including water. Before pollution gets worse, awareness of water conservation needs to be raised. The government and traditional villages have issued various regulations. This needs to be implemented by the community for environmental sustainability, especially the quality and quantity of water in Bali. The method used in this paper is qualitative with a literature review. Several research results about water in Bali were collected and then analysed. The author also took information from mass media and books. It is hoped that this scientific paper will inspire all interested parties to work together to preserve water for nature and human life.Keywords: Bali, Hinduism, Water conservation

The subject of the study is the properties of lexical units related to the names of city passages in Chinese, expressing relations in Russian, Chinese. The purpose of the work is to identify the general structure of common Chinese streets and other inner-city objects, as well as to analyze their meaning. The following methods were used in this article: descriptive, comparative, modeling method and component analysis method. Lexical units that name linear objects of the urban road network and make up a part of the vocabulary that is noticeable to speakers are one of the key components of urban architecture and at the same time part of the communicative culture, which, in turn, reflects the regional culture and national flavor of the area. Starting from the composition of street names, primarily from the point of view of the theory of the semantic field, lexico-semantic groups and their meanings were analyzed in this article. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time the general and special aspects of the analyzed names of driveways are considered in comparison. The results of the research can be used in the process of teaching lecture courses; when reading special courses on cognitive linguistics, linguoculturology, intercultural communication. It is concluded that toponyms help to preserve and transmit the historical and cultural heritage of a certain territory. In Chinese culture, especially when naming streets, proper names consisting of several hieroglyphs are often used. In Chinese writing, one hieroglyph can represent a word or an idea, so several hieroglyphs are needed for the full proper name or local toponym. Monosyllabic names consisting of two hieroglyphs are most common in street names. In some cases, names consisting of four hieroglyphs can also be used to convey even more information or uniqueness, each of which may have its own unique history and meaning.
