Comparative Constitutional Design: Northern Stagnation, Southern Innovation
Authors: Hirschl Ran
Published: April 2024

It is hard to overstate the intellectual renaissance of comparative constitutional law over the last two decades. And yet, despite this tremendous renaissance, some challenges persist. This article focuses on one such challenge: the tendency of comparative constitutional law to draw on a small number of "usual suspect" jurisdictions based in the Global North. This establishes an overarching presumption of a supposed one-way flow of new constitutional ideas from the Global North to the Global South, but many of the most daring and innovative constitutional experiments vis-a-vis climate change, urbanization, and democratic renewal have in fact taken place in the Global South. This article accordingly argues that the Global South offers a valuable arsenal of novel constitutional design options that deserves more scholarly interest and attention.

Authors: Palupi Isnafianing
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Background: PONV is one of the side effects that often occur after general anesthesia, occurs in the first 24 hours post surgery and occurs in as many as 30-70% of hospitalized patients. PONV greatly avoided by most patients and anesthesiologists. Recent risk score for prediction of PONV has been used as a way to classify patients according to risk prediction and provide prophylaxis in accordance with this classification. For everyday clinical purposes, a simple risk score in easy to do and shows the correlation between the predicted incidence of PONV in patients hospitalized. In the clinical practice known various risk score for prediction of PONV as Apfel scores, Koivuranta scores, Sinclair scores, Palazzo scores, Gan scores, and Scholz scores varying accuracy.
Methods: The research design was a cohort study with the total of 80 patients recruited. Ordinal and nominal data was analyzed using chi-square test. P value < 0,05 was declared significant with 95% confidence level. Measurements taken are incidence of PONV between Apfel scores to Koivuranta scores with PONV scores.
Results: Incidence of PONV in patients who carried the scoring with Apfel scores higher (80%) than Koivuranta scores, and statistically highly significant differences (p < 0,01). The results said that Apfel scores are more accurate than the Koivuranta scores, indicated by results of PONV scores positive (>1) on the Apfel scores 32 people (80%) and on the Koivuranta scores 12 people (30%), whereas PONV scores negative (≤ 1) on the Apfel scores 8 people (20%) and on the Koivuranta scores 28 people (70%).
Conclusions: Apfel scores are more accurate than the Koivuranta scores in predicting the occurrence of PONV in patients with general anesthesia.

Automatic Water Level Controller for Overhead and Underground Water Tank
Authors: Singh Jitendra , Mustafa Mustafa , Sahil Mohammad , Kumawat Lokesh Kumar
Published: April 2024

This is an Arduino-based automatic water level controller. Here, we are going to measure the water level with the help of Float switch fluid level controller sensors. The Float switch fluid level controller sensors use the principle of a “2-way switch”. The motor pump automatically turns ON when the water level is low. There is a lot of drinking water crisis in India and also in other countries. Today we need to preserve water at any cost. In India, we can see many houses as overhead tanks and they keep on overflowing water. It wastes a lot of water as well as electricity. If we do not do anything on this matter, then we can face a huge scarcity of water. In this project, implement an automatic water level controller so that we no longer have to manually switch ON and switch OFF the motor. The device automatically detects the water level, when it is low, hence triggering the relay which turns on the motor. This helps in reducing wastage of water as well as electricity. This also reduces manpower as we no longer need to operate it manually.

Enhancing Evaluation Tender Quality: Integrating Gender for Robust Results
Authors:   convelop - cooperative knowledge design gmbh, Grasenick Karin
Published: April 2024

Evaluations play a key role in assessing the effectiveness of strategies, programmes and projects and drawing conclusions for their future development. Standards have been introduced to improve the quality of evaluations, focusing mainly on the evaluators. However, essential conditions for the evaluation are specified in advance, particularly in the calls for proposals. Tenders are expected to clearly communicate requirements and expectations, ensuring that proposals can be effectively compared, while allowing evaluators sufficient flexibility in their design and interpretation. However, evaluation standards often lack the integration of gender and diversity considerations, particularly in the initial stages such as in calls for proposals. This article assesses the inclusion of gender analysis and intersectionality within evaluation standards, with a focus on tender processes. The necessity for a systematic approach to embed gender and diversity considerations in evaluation practices is discussed, highlighting the gap in current standards. The article references a guideline developed by the Working Group on Gender Mainstreaming (AK GM) of the German Evaluation Society (DeGEval) as an example of efforts to address this gap. This guideline exemplifies a framework aimed at guiding evaluation practitioners and those issuing tenders towards more inclusive evaluation practices. In this way, evaluations not only comply with legal requirements, but also fulfil societal commitments to promote gender equality, especially in the field of research, technology and innovation.
TAILOR-MADE COMICS ON GEOFORENSICS IN LANGUAGE TEACHING: INTERFACULTY COOPERATION AND APPLICATION
Authors: Beko Lidija , Mićović Dragoslava
Published: April 2024

Since comics are known as an increasingly popular modern educational strategy which have not been common in university classes so far, this paper represents a creative attempt to change this practice. Namely, we believe that a good comic, or more precisely an educational-scientific comic, could be a useful tool for teaching, bringing about change and inventiveness, and connecting topics and narratives in a multitude of registers. Additionally, we believe that the potential of university teaching can be increased by combining comics and foreign language teaching, not only due to the already mentioned interest in comics as a language method but also due to its multidisciplinarity and the possibility of interfaculty cooperation as a completely new language practice, hitherto unexamined or insufficiently tested in language learning. The paper first discusses the arguments for and against the use of comics in teaching foreign languages, and then offers a practical overview on how to create a comic. Finally, we present our experiences in achieving interfaculty cooperation. In other words, this paper intends to shed light on three aspects: (1) promoting the idea of the teacher as a creator of innovative materials and strategies in education; (2) using comics as a language activity; and (3) the intellectual flexibility of students and lecturers in using comics at two different faculties. The research was conducted with the students of the Department of Geology of the Faculty of Mining and Geology of the University of Belgrade, and with the students of the Department of Forensic Engineering of the Belgrade University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies.
MOTIVATING THE YOUTH: UNCOVERING THE ATTITUDES AND MOTIVATION BEHIND SCHOOL SPORTS ENGAGEMENT
Authors: Mitić Petar , Stojanović Nikola , Savić Zvezdan , Trajković Nebojša , Savić Đorđe
Published: April 2024

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between attitudes, motivation, and school sports engagement frequency, using the newly constructed Attitudes and Motivation Toward School Sports Questionnaire (AMTSSQ) inventory as a tool for assessment. The study found a significant effect of attitudes (F = 11.96, p < .001, np² = 0.02) and motivation (F = 19.63, p < .001, np² = 0.03) with strong positive correlation coefficients (r = 0.71) between attitudes, motivation, and school sports engagement frequency. However, Bayesian analyses supported the null hypothesis with moderate to strong evidence (Bayes Factor < 0.33), and credible intervals for effect size and R2 were relatively narrow. Additionally, school sports engagement frequency is not significantly related to motivation (b = -0.08 to 0.03, p > .05), and the highest order unconditional interaction of school sports engagement frequency and attitudes was not significant (F = 1.18, p = .315). However, attitudes were strongly related to motivation (R2 = .99), suggesting that students who viewed school sports as important and developed had higher motivation toward school sports. Hence, we can conclude that the AMTSSQ reliably and validly assesses students’ attitudes and motivation toward school sports, and we found positive associations between attitudes and motivation. The findings suggest that attitudes towards school sports, like the perceived importance and developmental benefits, are significant predictors of motivation and may influence engagement in school sports. However, school sports engagement frequency did not moderate the relationship between attitudes and motivation. These findings have implications for promoting physical activity and student-school sports participation.

Authors: Bošković Marković Valentina
Published: April 2024

The aim of this paper is to analyse the attitudes of students of sports towards the use of gender-sensitive language in the Serbian language. As the correlation between language and gender has been a hot topic in Serbia in the last two years, this paper presents an overview of some of the studies related to language, gender and sports. The theoretical section of this paper covers some main terms such as gender-sensitive language and the connection among language, gender and sport. The aim of the study conducted for the purposes of this paper was to determine whether male and female students of sports have positive or negative attitudes toward the use of gender-sensitive language in contemporary society and in their everyday speech. The study was conducted by using an anonymous survey with open-ended and closed questions, and it included 281 participants. The study results show that students of sports are still not aware of the increasingly widespread use of gender-sensitive language, and that they are not interested in learning about the theoretical aspects of this issue.

Authors: Zulkiffal Muhammad , Ahmed Javed , Ahsan Aneela
Published: April 2024

Heat stress during the post-anthesis phase significantly impacts wheat cultivation. To evaluate the tolerance of advanced wheat lines to heat stress, stress tolerance indices were used under both normal and post-anthesis heat stress conditions. The results showed a decrease in the average yield of advanced lines under both conditions, indicating the negative impact of heat stress on wheat cultivation. The analysis using PCs, biplot, and ranked clusters revealed that line V-21448 had below-average values for RHSI and %YDR, while V-21243 had values close to the average and all other lines had above-average values. Additionally, under normal conditions, V-19532 had the highest values for RHSI and HYT 100-47 had the lowest values for %YDR. In heat stress conditions, HYT 100-47 had the lowest values for both indices. HYT 100-74 and HYT 100-76 had the highest average values for MNP and YDI and were highly stable in the heat environment. Under normal settings, YDI, RHSI, and % YDR showed a positive correlation, while under heat stress conditions, the same traits showed a negative correlation. MNP had a high positive correlation with Yp and Ys, while YDSI had a negative correlation with Yp but a positive correlation with Ys. These results suggest that these traits are useful for identifying advanced lines with increased yield under both conditions.

A Study on Exploring Relationship between Entrepreneurship and Work Life Balance: An Examination on Challenges, Strategies and Impact on Well Being
Authors: Banakar Anusha S
Published: April 2024

Abstract: This research investigates the relationship between entrepreneurship and work-life balance, focusing on challenges, coping strategies, and their impact on well-being. A quantitative approach was adopted, utilizing a structured questionnaire administered to entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals across diverse industries. Convenience sampling was employed to recruit participants, with data collected through online surveys and face-to-face interviews. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and factor analysis were utilized to analyze the data. Results indicate a recognition among entrepreneurs of the importance of work-life balance and its impact on productivity and well-being. Significant challenges include excessive workload, conflicts between entrepreneurial roles and personal obligations, and interference of business activities with personal life. While entrepreneurship offers flexibility, it does not always afford more time for personal interests. Coping strategies such as setting boundaries and disconnecting from work are employed, but their efficacy varies. Social support networks play a crucial role, with a lack of confidants exacerbating tensions between social/family obligations and entrepreneurial duties. Findings suggest the need for targeted interventions to support entrepreneurs in achieving a healthy work-life balance and optimizing their well-being

Published: April 2024

El circovirus porcino tipo 2 (PCV2) es un virus de tipo DNA que tiene afinidad por células del sistema inmune y que genera depleción de linfocitos por lo que favorece el desarrollo de enfermedades causadas por otros agentes oportunistas, así mismo está relacionado con la generación de diferentes síndromes. Por lo anterior, este virus produce importantes afecciones a la industria porcícola, sin embargo, fácilmente se pueden prevenir los síndromes asociados a PCV2 mediante la adecuada aplicación de medidas de bioseguridad y vacunación. Por otro lado, las unidades de producción a pequeña escala (UPPs) suelen carecer de este tipo de manejo preventivo, así como de vigilancia rutinaria por parte de un médico veterinario. Si bien, el PCV2 se considera un virus ampliamente distribuido, no existen reportes de su presencia en las UPPs en Nuevo León. Se determinó la presencia de anticuerpos contra PCV2 mediante el uso de un kit comercial y se realizó la biometría hemática de los animales. Se localizaron 48 UPPs en las que se encontró un 91.67% de positividad, así como un 89.7% de seropositividad en los animales. En la biometría se encontró que la HGB y el HCT se presentaron disminuidos en los individuos que resultaron positivos a anticuerpos comparados contra los negativos (P=0.03 y P=0.01, respectivamente), por el contrario, el valor de células blancas totales se encontró disminuido en los individuos que resultaron negativos a la presencia de anticuerpo contra PCV2 (P=0.01).

Se determinó cómo la cantidad de espacio vital asignado en el corral de engorda, influye tanto en los indicadores de producción como en los rasgos de calidad de la canal y la carne obtenidas de novillos Holstein mediante la formación de dos grupos de tratamiento, T14: 65 novillos/corral (14 m2/cabeza de espacio permitido) y T16: 57 novillos/corral (16 m2/cabeza de espacio permitido), con cinco repeticiones en cada tratamiento. El peso promedio de llegada fue de 238 ± 0.74 kg. Durante el período de engorda el ganado se alimentó dos veces al día con dietas comerciales. Los novillos se sacrificaron después de un período de 261 días. En el momento del primer reimplante se encontró un mayor peso corporal promedio en T16 vs T14 (384.25 vs 378.38 kg; P<0.05) y la diferencia se mantuvo hasta el día 261 (612.35 vs 595.54 kg; P<0.05); en cuanto a la GDP, el peso de la canal caliente y el peso de la canal fría, los resultados fueron: 1.50 vs 1.46 kg (P<0.05), de GDP kg/día; 367.34 vs 360.35 kg (P<0.05) y 366.68 vs 358.78 kg (P<0.05). No se encontraron diferencias entre los tratamientos en la grasa dorsal, el marmoleado, el pH y el color de la carne. Los resultados sugieren que un aumento de 14 m2/animal a 16 m2/animal mejora los resultados productivos, así como el peso de la canal caliente y fría, sin afectar a los rasgos de calidad de la canal y la carne.

Non-syndromic hypodontia is a developmental anomaly characterized by the absence of one to six of permanent teeth. The goal of this review was to identify all known gene mutations, prevalence of gender and type of teeth, to review current research and identify knowledge gaps on the topic of nonsyndromic hypodontia. Three electronic databases were performed (Science Direct, PubMed, and Scopus) and restricted to English papers published after 2012 until 2019. Search terms were combined as follows: Hypodontia or 'non-syndromic hypodontia' and 'genes' or 'tooth anomaly' and 'mutation' or 'genes' and were checked against the inclusion criteria independently by two investigators. From 16 studies, five genes currently known caused non-syndromic hypodontia: WNT10A (37 variants, 256 patients), MSX1 (9 variants, 112 patients), PAX9 (17 variants, 79 patients), AXIN2 (8 variants, 60 patients) and EDA (2 variants, 11 patients). It was demonstrated that females exhibited a higher prevalence of hypodontia with 89.3% as compared to males with 84.2%. The most commonly missing teeth was a lateral incisor, followed by second premolar and central incisor. Five genes, including WNT10A, PAX9, MSX1, AXIN2 and EDA, are currently considered to have the ability to cause nonsyndromic hypodontia. Lateral incisor was found to be commonly missing teeth and there was an increased risk for females to have hypodontia than males.

Published: April 2024

An effective wound dressing material should be flexible structure, biocompatible, maintain wound moisture and adsorb exudate. The rate of the wound healing process depends on the type of wound care dressing materials. The chitosan-based dressing has become attention for wound dressing application for decades. This study aims to review the mechanical characterization of chitosan-based material for wound healing applications. In this review, the process of searching research papers was performed according to the PRISMA-P protocol that begins by searching literature on the selected databases such as Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar from the year of 2012 to 2022. The pre-determined keywords (chitosan-based material, physicochemical characterization, wound dressing, wound healing, wound treatment) were used in data searching protocol. The search retrieved 284 articles. Assessment of eligibility retrieved 19 articles based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. This review provides the knowledge of physicochemical characterization studied on chitosan-based wound dressing material including the porosity, swelling behaviour, water vapour transmission rate and mechanical properties.

Published: April 2024

Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of cancer mortality in females worldwide. Metabolomic approach has shown broad potential in recognizing the carcinogenic metabolites. This study aimed to systematically review cellular and clinical metabolomic studies in the past decade on BC. We summarized the pathways and metabolic biomarkers associated with BC. Scopus, PubMed, SAGE Journals, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for research papers on metabolomics of BC from January 2010 to January 2021. Two reviewers evaluated the data and study eligibility. The search identified 924 records. In total, 51 studies were included in the review (33 clinical and 19 cellular research) based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Relevant data were extracted following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) guidelines. The selected metabolomics studies analyzed tissue, serum, plasma, urine, and breath. A total of 21 metabolites (reported in ≥ 3 studies) were found to be prevalent in BC. Metabolite’s alterations involving glutamate, glutamine, lactate, choline, and taurine provide evidence of tumorigenesis. Glutaminolysis presented as the most significant pathway which highlighted the correlation of glutamine, glutamate, and glutaminase enzyme as potential biomarker for BC diagnosis. In conclusion, metabolomics enables in-depth identification of BC metabolic profile. The relative non-invasion and advantages of convenience in comparison with tissue biopsy and imaging screening, considered metabolomics as a relevant tool in early BC diagnosis. Collectively, this may lay foundation for understanding the progression and development of BC.
Holistic Data Security: A Balanced Approach to Data and Privacy

Published: April 2024

The expansion of the data economy has raised a multitude of concerns that scholars worldwide are working towards overcoming. Given the divergent views on data in fields such as law, economics, and sociology, varying approaches to data governance have been suggested. However, regardless of the approach chosen, the multi- dimensional aspects of data should not be disregarded. This book incorporates various research viewpoints on data governance and introduces the innovative notion of “Holistic Data Security”, which can offer fresh avenues for exploration by academics across diverse fields of study.
ISLAM, CYBERSPACE AND POST-TRUTH: EPISTEMOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Authors: Lutfi Muhammad , Suhermanto Ja'far
Published: April 2024

This study describes how Islam responds to the post-truth that frequently appears in the digital sphere, especially when political momentum is involved. Post-truth connects with epistemology since, factually, it is intimately tied to the question of truth. This study provides a paradigm for dealing with post-truth by combining the taxonomy of fake news with the Islamic epistemology of Murtadha Mutahhari. Using the horizon of post-truth detection and the Islamic epistemological horizon, the method integrates Gadamer's horizons. According to the study's findings, post-truth stems from the issue of human cognitive bias, which occurs when people tend to accept what they want to think to be true. Meanwhile, misrepresentation, media bias, information laundering, statistical deceit, manipulation of election results, and similar practices are the main traits of falsehoods in the virtual world. In line with Murtadha Mutahhari's Islamic epistemology, the multiple frameworks of these lies must be challenged with efforts at verification, correspondence, and soul purity.
West African Heat-Low Climatology and Comparison with Dry TCs
Authors: Kruskie Aaron , Chavas Daniel , Huber Matthew
Published: April 2024

Heat-lows are low pressure systems that have been qualitatively compared
to dry tropical cyclones (TCs) given their low-level cyclonic
circulation which is co-located with strong surface sensible heat
fluxes. This work examines the climatology of West African heat-lows and
their relationship to TCs by extending the concept of potential
intensity (PI) over land. Using ERA5 reanalysis, we calculate PI over
land from sensible heat flux and land surface roughness and orography
data and use pre-existing data of tracked dry low-pressure systems to
create composite West African heat-lows during Summer. PI spatial
distribution correlates well with that of heat-low tracks and closely
matches the peak heat-low wind speeds. The asymmetric and baroclinic
structure of heat-low composites and the lack of marked diurnal cycles
suggest that West African heat-lows are more likely analogous to TC-like
baroclinic vortices such as medicanes or TCs during extratropical
transition.

Published: April 2024

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) was adopted
on 15 December 2022 by the Parties to the Convention on Biological
Diversity. The Framework states outcomes for species to be achieved by
2050 in Goal A and establishes a range of Targets to reduce pressures on
biodiversity and halt biodiversity loss by 2030. Target 4 calls for
urgent recovery actions for species where the implementation of other
Targets is insufficient to eliminate the risk of extinction. To achieve
the Framework’s Goals and Targets, key elements must be understood and
the implications for implementation of agreed words and phrases made
clear. We analyse the key species elements of Goal A and Target 4 and
examine what they mean and what is needed for implementation. We
conclude by considering next steps to identify priorities, support
access and uptake of resources, and ensure co-operation and capacity
development.
