Historical revivalism in hungarian country house gardens between 1880 and 1930: An exploration and analysis
Authors: Alföldy Gábor
Published: July 2022

The period lasting from the Compromise betweeen Austria and Hungary in 1867 to World War I was a ‘golden age’ of Hungarian horticulture and garden art. Country houses with their parks belonged traditionally to the way of living of the aristocracy. The ‘construction boom’ generated by a fruitful interplay of the favourable economic conditions of the ‘Gründerzeit’ and the related social needs and financial abilities, resulted in a multitude of new gardens. This surge of development almost coincided with the spread of historical revivalism in garden design from the 1860s and with an increasing role played by Hungarian creators of gardens in addition to foreign specialists who settled or were invited to work here.

The period between the two World Wars did not effect a fatal break in this garden culture. In some cases, this slowly consolidating period brought real efflorescence (e.g. Hatvan, Röjtökmuzsaj, Szeleste), though these places were the exceptions. The construction and transformation of parks together with the modernization of houses continued in the interwar decades (e.g. Dég, Röjtökmuzsaj) and considerable new establishments were also created (e.g. Vajta, Csorvás, Selyp).

The country house gardens of historical revivalism, with their spectacular parterres, avenues, exotic plant rarities grown in the greenhouses or nursery gardens and transferred to the pleasure-grounds or shown at exhibitions, with their sports facilities and family mausoleums represented the prestige of the aristocracy which still clearly played the leading role in politics and society despite their declining economic and cultural influence. Alternatively they expressed the ambition of a new plutocracy to acquire social legitimation for their wealth. In a few cases and in both groups, there was something else: the garden became the site and instrument through which they could achieve accomplishment by means of creative activity.

The present study is a first attempt at summarising the partial results of research that in its initial phase on the topic. It describes 12 sites in detail, 9 from the period between 1880 and World War I, and 3 from the 1920–30s. After the descripions it gives a preliminary overview of tendences and characteristics of the examined period including the transformation of the landscape garden, revivalist structural elements, follies and utilitarian garden structures, statuary and other garden ornaments, landscape gardeners and creative owners, mainteneance and productive gardening, with a lot of further examples and personalities. Finally, a brief outlook closes the study to the post-1945 survival of the gardens described and historical revivalism in garden art in general.
Additive manufacturing: Frameworks for chemical understanding and advancement in vat photopolymerization
Authors: Schwartz Johanna J.
Published: July 2022

Three-dimensional printing, or additive manufacturing (AM), is a broad term for a wide range of fabrication methods utilizing materials such as small-molecule, polymer, and metal feedstocks. Each method requires different chemical, physical, and engineering needs to be successful. This article will discuss some of the considerations for polymer-based AM methods. Ultimately, we focus on the chemistries of vat photopolymerization, in which light is used to cure a resin from liquid to solid, to provide an example of how chemical advancements have led to increased speed, resolution, and multimaterial printing capabilities not previously possible.

Authors: Nguyen Le Tuan , Nguyen Thi Khang , Le Duc Dung , Nguyen Hoang Anh
Published: July 2022

ROMS and SWAN models have been used quite commonly in studying hydrodynamics. These are open-source models which are suitable for development research. However, using the ROMS-SWAN coupled model has not been studied and applied much in Vietnam. This paper presents the study and use of the ROMS-SWAN coupled model in the COAWST system to calculate the hydrodynamic field in Hai Phong at a primitive level. The calculation gives quite good results when compared with the measured data. The results of this study are the basis for the application of the COAWST model system to calculate sediment transport.

Plastic materials are defined as including the whole of organic polymers owning plasticity. Their production increases rapidly due to their superior properties and applications in our life. Currently, the annual production of plastic is estimated at nearly 400 million tons. About 10% of the plastic produced is discharged into the seas and oceans. Microplastics (MP, less than 5 mm in size) are non-biodegradable and persistent in the environment and have the ability to accumulate in various environmental components, organisms and other human beings through the food chain. Therefore, assessing microplastic pollution becomes essential for the marine and ocean environment. This study aims to evaluate microplastic pollution in Nam Dinh seawater. Water samples were taken in summer 2020 and spring 2021 in Giao Thuy district, Nam Dinh province. Samples were treated with 30% H2O2 solution to remove organic matters and then microplastic buoyantly separated using saturated NaCl solution. MP was identified through observation under a stereo microscope (Olympus SZX2-TR300) and its nature was determined through infrared spectroscopy (µFTIR). Results show that a large level of pollution (average 6 to 8 particles/m3 and 10–14 million particles/km2) is associated with the predominant of colored fibers among MP characteristics. Most of the microplastics identified are Polypropylene in nature. Next, more research needs to be invested in this pollution problem, such as expanding the scope and research object.

Published: July 2022

Najas indica (Willd.) Cham. is a freshwater submerged aquatic vegetation. N. indica is an annual plant. Therefore, seeds in the sediment and the survival and growth of seedlings play an important role in re-establishing new populations of the species. The purpose of this study was to determine the seed density in the sediment, examine the effect of salinity on seedling germination from seeds, and assess the impact of the salinity on the growth of early seedlings of N. indica under the experimental condition. The seed density of N. indica was highest from September to November and the lowest in May to July 2018. Seedlings of the species were observed in the range of salinity from 0–15‰. No seedling was recorded at 20‰ salinity during the experimental period. The number of seedlings, growth rate, shoot length, and the number of internodes of seedlings of N. indica, all had maximum values at a salinity of 5‰, while leaf length tended to decrease with increasing salinity. The study showed that the optimum salinity for seedling germination from seeds and growth of seedlings of N. indica species from the Cau Hai lagoon was at 5‰ salinity. The study results supply the necessary information for the protection and development of meadows of the N. indica species in the lagoon environment of Vietnam.
Upwelling phenomenon in the marine regions of Southern Central of Vietnam: a review
Authors: Bui Hong Long , Phan Minh Thu
Published: July 2022

Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomenon that involves the physical process and contributes to changes in chemistry, biology, and natural resources. So, systematically, it is the particular ecosystems of whole marine regions with the upwelling. The strong upwelling waters in South Central Regions of Vietnam have uncertain features of the East Vietnam Sea (Bien Dong) and special characteristics of a coastal upwelling area, recorded in international scientific papers in the twentieth century. Their first signals were discovered in the early 1930s through conceptual ideas. The upwelling phenomenon is officially confirmed by scientific results of marine investigations of the NAGA Expedition (1959–1961). The paper aims to review and discuss the physical from Vietnamese investigation and results since 1990s. The following factors are the most contributing to forming and developing the strong upwelling in Southern Central Waters: (1) Influence scale (Mezo- and micro-scale); (2) Forming causes and developing mechanism of upwelling phenomenon, such as monsoon, morphography, shoreline, and western boundary current system of the East Vietnam Sea; (3) Influence of the water-mass from Mekong River on the upwelling area; (4) Ecological environmental consequences; (5) Impacts of the atmospheric-oceanic interaction processes on the western EVS on upwelling. Additionally, the review has targeted findings of upwelling phenomenon mainly in Vietnamese waters based on remote sensing analysis and reanalysis data series to simulate their forming, mechanizing, fluctuating models and the impacts of upwelling in the EVS on resources and ecosystems. The coupled atmosphere-ocean models resulted the upwelling mechanisms and formation. The long-time series of upwelling phenomenon (Macroscale) were evaluated by remote sensing and reanalyzed data series. It is also providing the supplementing and detailing causes and mechanisms of upwelling formation; impacts and interactions of upwelling on marine physics and hydrodynamics (ocean vortexes, seawater temperature), biochemical (nutrients, plankton organisms), and resources (fish, seafood). Within the framework of strong upwelling waters in the Southern Central Regions (Vietnam), the review has not only mentioned partly clarified scientific results but also indicates the limitations and challenges which were faced and encountered in the forecasters of upwelling phenomena in the future.
Determination of vertical derivative of gravity anomalous by upward continuation and Taylor series transform methods: application to the Southwest sub-basin of the East Vietnam Sea
Authors: Nguyen Nhu Trung , Tran Van Kha , Bui Van Nam
Published: July 2022

The vertical derivative of the gravity anomaly has a vital role in the methods of geological structure research such as determining fault systems and the location of the field sources. In addition, the vertical derivative is also used to calculate the downward continuation and further clarify the image of the seabed topography. However, determining the vertical derivative according to the traditional Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method is often unstable and has low accuracy in high-order derivatives for high noise actual data. In this article, we introduce a new calculation method to determine the vertical derivative of gravity anomaly giving higher stable and accurate than traditional methods. The method is verified on synthetic model data and actual data of the Southwest sub-basin of the East Vietnam Sea.
Prevalence of Skin Lesions and Injuries in Australian Humpback Dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) and Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in Moreton Bay, Queensland

Published: July 2022

Coastal dolphin populations are highly vulnerable due to their proximity to major urban centres and exposure to cumulative threats from anthropogenic activities. As bioindicators of environmental condition, it is crucial to understand and monitor the health of these coastal dolphin populations. Visual assessments of skin lesions on dolphins can provide useful insights into the health of these populations and exposure to environmental stressors. We examined the prevalence of skin lesions in Australian humpback dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) and Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) of different age classes inhabiting the near-urban embayment of Moreton Bay, Queensland. The prevalence and extent of nontraumatic and traumatic skin lesions on individual dolphins were assessed using photographs taken during 103 boat-based surveys completed between 2014 and 2016. A total of 15 primary skin lesion categories were identified from 126 humpback and 100 bottlenose dolphins. Differences in the prevalence of skin lesions were evident between age classes and species. Nontraumatic skin lesions were prevalent in 48.4% of the humpback and 61.0% of the bottlenose dolphins. Comparatively, traumatic lesions were evident in almost all humpback (92.3%) and bottlenose (99.0%) dolphins. Anthropogenic-related injuries from entanglement in fishing gear and vessel strikes were substantial and significantly differed between species (p < 0.05). Injuries from fishing and vessel activities affected 11.0% of humpback dolphins and 30.0% of bottlenose dolphins, suggesting that these activities pose a major threat to these populations. Findings from this study provide an important baseline to inform ongoing health monitoring and conservation efforts of these vulnerable dolphin populations inhabiting a near-urban embayment.

Published: July 2022

Background: Hearing function is one of the most important factors affecting children’s development process. The first three years of life is a golden period of growth and development of children. This study was conducted to investigate the hearing profile of children below three years old at Jatinangor Integrative Health Care Center (Pos Pelayanan Terpadu, Posyandu), West Java, Indonesia. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted to 86 children below three years old who was selected by using multistage cluster sampling at 12 Posyandu in Jatinangor sub-district by using in-depth interview related to hearing loss risk factors, reaction test, and tympanometry test. Results: The hearing loss prevalence of children below three years old in the Jatinangor sub-district was 7.0%. Of the 86 children, there were 2.3% (n=2) children with moderate conductive hearing loss, 1.2% (n=1) children with moderate sensorineural hearing loss, and 3.5% (n=3) children with very severe sensorineural hearing loss. Fifty percent of children with sensorineural hearing loss were discovered without any risk factor. Conclusions: The prevalence of hearing loss in children under three years old at the Jatinangor Integrative Health Care Center is slightly higher than the national prevalence. Fifty percent of children are found without risk factors, therefore Universal Newborn Hearing Examination (UNHS) needs to be implemented at the national level in accordance with the guidelines of the Joint Committee for Infant Hearing (JCIH) in which are integrated with primary health care units, tertiary health care centers otorhinolaryngology, and also the audiological center.
O CARÁTER CORRECIONAL DA POLÍTICA SOCIOEDUCATIVA NO BRASIL: UMA ANÁLISE CRÍTICA
Authors: Cardoso Priscila Carla , Fonseca Debora Cristina
Published: July 2022

Este artigo discute parte de uma pesquisa que teve como objetivo o aprofundamento do conceito de socioeducação, utilizado no âmbito das medidas socioeducativas previstas no Estatuto da Criança e Adolescente (ECA) aplicadas a adolescentes que cometem atos infracionais, a partir de uma perspectiva materialista histórica e dialética. O objetivo foi analisar criticamente, a partir dos documentos oficiais que versam sobre as medidas socioeducativas, de que maneira os adolescentes vêm sendo visto e tratados no âmbito da política de socioeducação. A análise foi realizada a partir das construções de núcleos de significação apreendidos na leitura documental. Ficou demonstrado que, apesar do aparente discurso de Proteção Integral ao adolescente autor de ato infracional e de mudança de paradigma na política de socioeducação, há predominância de uma proposta de prática socioeducativa com viés correcional. É perceptível que a ideia de garantia de direito se restringe apenas à cidadania burguesa de forma acrítica, tanto é assim que vem acompanhada com a afirmação da necessidade de garantir a segurança da população, ou seja, garantir a ordem social. Logo, passados mais de trinta anos de promulgação do ECA, a prática menorista ainda vigora quando se trata de adolescentes autores de atos infracionais. Todavia, uma proposta de socioeducação emancipatória só será possível se tiver como ponto de partida o contexto histórico social do Brasil. Desconsiderar o recorte de classe e cor quando se trata de adolescentes autores infracionais é escamotear a realidade da socioeducação brasileira.
The Portuguese Pluperfect: Development and the effect of auxiliary ter generalization
Authors: Balla-Johnson William Robert
Published: July 2022

The Portuguese and Galician pluperfect is unique in Romance. Rather than developing a generalized compound pluperfect structure early, as did French and Spanish (e.g., Fr. J’avais chanté ‘I had sung’) the Latin pluperfect indicative survived with its original semantics into the 20th century (Lat. cantāveram > Port. cantara ‘I had sung’). This paper presents a thorough description of the development of the Portuguese pluperfect and then proposes an explanation as to why it diverges from the standard Romance pattern.Amaral and Howe (2009) attribute the unique iterative semantics of the Portuguese compound past to auxiliary ter ‘to have’ generalization. Similarly, this paper proposes that ter selection is also behind the unique pluperfect situation. Specifically, when ter was generalized over haver in the 16th century, the resultative/stative interpretation of the compound pluperfect verb form was preferred. This delayed a grammaticalization process that allowed the compound pluperfect to gain an eventive interpretation and to more freely alternate with—and eventually supplant—the synthetic pluperfect from Latin.Using empirical data from the Corpus do Português (Davies & Ferreira, 2006), this work describes the development of the Portuguese pluperfect and concludes that the generalization of auxiliary ter is the primary reason for the prolonged survival of the Latin synthetic pluperfect form.
Number-neutral indefinite objects in Brazilian Portuguese as a case of semantic incorporation
Authors: Wall Albert
Published: July 2022

This paper provides empirical evidence for a verb-noun construction in Brazilian Portuguese, which has not yet been analyzed in the linguistic literature. It is argued that certain indefinite direct objects, typically when adjacent to a particular group of verbs, are interpreted as incorporated structures, receiving non-quantified atelic activity readings. It is shown that despite being rather infrequent, speakers have quite robust intuitions about their structure and interpretation, treating them on a par with bare objects, for which semantic incorporation analyses have been proposed. Evidence is presented from an Acceptability Judgment Task, a Truth Value Judgment Task, and native speakers' metalinguistic comments. Following the incorporation approach of Carlson (2003), these number-neutral indefinites are compared to bare and weak definite direct objects and it is argued that they provide a new type of evidence for the analysis of weak indefinites proposed by Carlson (2003) and subsequent work, which is not found in other article languages. The paper also discusses the pragmatic effects of the construction in the context of related phenomena in Brazilian Portuguese and English.

Nigeria bears the highest burden of Lassa fever in Africa, accounting for about 60% of the 5,000 annual mortalities attributable to the haemorrhagic disease. In the absence of preventive vaccines, the mass media have been deployed as independent and complementary interventions against the spread of the infection. This study examines the influence of mass media exposure on Lassa fever risk perception and risk behaviours among residents of eight rural communities in South-south Nigeria. Anchored on the Health Belief Model and Social Influence Theory, the study used survey questionnaires to collect data from 384 respondents selected through multistage sampling. Findings show that media exposure is positively related to Lassa fever risk perception (β = .519, 95% CI: .432, .607), but negatively associated with risk behaviours towards the zoonotic disease (β = -.797, 95% CI: -.922, -.671). Nevertheless, media influence on respondents’ risk perception and risk behaviours tends to vary significantly along sex, geographical region and employment status. Given the endemic nature of Lassa fever in Nigeria, the study recommends the sustenance of public sensitisation efforts aimed at preventing the spread of the disease, especially in rural areas. It also advocates the need for relevant health authorities to enforce healthier public environmental practices and initiate mastomys eradication programmes to reduce the presence of rats in residential areas. Keywords: Haemorrhagic fever, infectious disease, media sensitisation, public health, risk communication.

Published: July 2022

The use of the Internet and smart devices that permeate into society has led to adolescents becoming active users of the Internet and various digital devices in daily life. Despite the Internet being regarded as a necessity nowadays, questions arise regarding both the benefits and the risks of Internet use on adolescents. Accordingly, this article aims to discuss parents’ perceptions on the benefits and risks of Internet use on adolescents. A quantitative method was adopted in this study, using questionnaire as the research instrument. A total of 384 parents from the Klang Valley with children aged between 13 and 17 years old who use the Internet were chosen as respondents through purposive sampling. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and inferentially to study the mean and standard deviation. An independent t-test was also conducted. The findings of the study indicate that parents perceive that their adolescent children use the Internet for purposes of learning, entertainment, communication, and obtaining information. However, the use of the Internet is able to expose their adolescent children to strangers as well as the negative influences from online content. Meanwhile, the findings of the study also show that perceptions of the opportunities and risks of the Internet use on adolescents are not influenced by parents’ gender. The findings can also lead to more awareness amongst parents today about the importance of paying attention and monitoring the use of the Internet by their children, especially adolescents, to ensure that the Internet is being used for beneficial purposes and to avoid any risky online activities. Keywords:Parents, opportunities, risks, Internet, adolescents

The coffee industry has evolved in several waves which resulted in coffee culture among a culturally diverse society. Drinking coffee culture has taken part in consumers’ daily life not only as cultural drinking, and routine but also as a medium for interaction and communication. Millennials are seen as a group of society who consume coffee on a day to day basis. The issues highlighted in this study is regarding how the meaning of drinking coffee is constructed and shared among millennial as coffee consumers through their interaction and communication. This is a phenomenological study conducted based on the constructivism paradigm whereby a qualitative approach is employed. Five (5) focus group discussions with a total of 23 informants were conducted. A snowball sampling process was applied to identify participants in this study based on the characteristics defined, whilst Symbolic Interactionism Theory is used to guide the study. Discussion is presented towards textural and structural descriptions of coffee culture meaning. Findings show that coffee culture is seen both as personal and social construction of meanings. Interactions with surroundings have given experience whereby individuals created the construction of drinking coffee as a personal journey and social tool for interaction. Keywords: Drinking coffee, culture, consumption, meaning, symbolic interactionism.

Long before Covid-19 transitioned in our lifestyle and the ‘New Normal’ began, digital communication through instant messaging application in smartphones has been used over the conventional way of communicating in Malaysia. WhatsApp is the most preferred application when it comes to communicating with peers, friends and family and that is also true for schools in Malaysia, especially in the Klang Valley. The present study aims to investigate the use of digital communication focusing on parent-teacher engagement in a public school in Putrajaya, Malaysia that uses WhatsApp as the application of choice. This qualitative research employs in-depth interviews to collect data to describe the themes that have emerged in the discussion between parents and teachers on WhatsApp as a medium of communication in parent-teacher engagement process. This study incorporates theories such as Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT) and Epstein’s Theory of Overlapping Sphere’s of Influences (TOSI) in describing the data. The results suggest that both parents and teachers agree on the importance of using digital platform for communication and engagement between them. The versatility of digital communication, convenience, speed and cost effectiveness are the reasons for using digital communication. However, the challenges for teachers that have been identified in the use of digital communication are increase of stress, distractions of messages and abuse of working time. Theoretical and practical implications for academics, parents, teachers and students were also included in the study. Keywords: Parent, teacher, digital communication, WhatsApp, engagement.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Little attention has been paid to the study of delayed sensory and motor reactions in adolescents with spinal deformities after surgical treatment.
AIM: To study the reactions of the sensorimotor system of adolescents after surgical correction of spinal deformity.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The state of the sensory and motor spheres was analyzed in the immediate postoperative period in 21 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and in 13 with congenital deformities of the spine. A complex of methods involving global and stimulation electroneuromyography was used. The amplitude of motor, reflex potentials and interference electromyogram was evaluated at the maximum arbitrary tension of the lower limb muscles. Using an esthesiometer, thermal pain sensitivity in Th1S2 dermatomes was explored. In the process of surgical correction, intraoperative neuromonitoring was performed with registration of motor evoked potentials of the lower limb muscles.
RESULTS: At the beginning of surgical intervention, high-amplitude, well-reproducible motor evoked potentials were obtained in all patients. In the group of patients with idiopathic scoliosis, compared with those with congenital deformities, smooth flow of surgery prevailed (p 0.05) without significant changes in motor potentials relative to the baseline (p 0.05). The number of observations of motor potentials decreased in the both groups and did not exceed 10%; the differences were not significant (p 0.05). The study of the reactions of the sensorimotor system in the immediate postoperative period triggered an increase in the amplitude of M-responses of m. rectus femoris, m. flexor digitorum brevis, m. gastrocnemius, and a decrease in the amplitude of the total EMG of m. rectus femoris. Values of H-reflexes remained at the preoperative level. The analysis of thermal pain sensitivity demonstrated the presence of a more pronounced reaction than that of the motor component. Changes in indicators of this type of sensitivity in groups of adolescents with idiopathic and congenital scoliosis were opposite. In idiopathic scoliosis, negative dynamics of the values prevailed, while in adolescents with congenital deformities of the spine, positive dynamics prevailed. This was because the amount of correction of the main and compensatory curves of the deformity in the group with idiopathic scoliosis was 48% greater (p = 0.0004) and 51% greater (p = 0.011), respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: After surgical correction of spinal deformities in adolescents, the reactions of the sensory system of thermal pain sensitivity were more pronounced than those of the motor sphere.
The 8 April 1860 Jour de Pâques Earthquake Sequence in Southern Haiti
Authors: Martin Stacey S. , Hough Susan E.
Published: July 2022

The grave threat posed by the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone (EPGFZ) and other fault systems on the Tiburon Peninsula in southern Haiti was highlighted by the catastrophic M 7.0 Léogâne earthquake on 12 January 2010 and again by the deadly M 7.2 Nippes earthquakes on 14 August 2021. Early Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar observations suggest the 2021 earthquake broke structures associated with this fault system farther west of the 2010 event, but the rupture zones of both events are separated by a ∼50 km gap. This sequence provided the impetus to reconsider a nineteenth century earthquake that may have occurred within this gap. Though previous studies identified a single moderately large event on 8 April 1860, original sources describe a complex and distributed seismic sequence to the west of Port-au-Prince. These provide evidence for an initial event to the west of Les Cayes, on the southern coast of the Tiburon Peninsula. This was followed on the morning of 8 April 1860 by a damaging earthquake near l’Anse-à-Veau along the northern coast of the peninsula, which was succeeded 14 hr later by a larger mainshock to the east. Although locations cannot be determined precisely from extant macroseismic data, our preferred scenario includes an intensity magnitude (MI)∼6.2 foreshock, followed by an MI∼6.8 mainshock wholly or partially on the EPGFZ to the east of the foreshock. Our results suggest that, although earthquakes tend to trigger subsequent earthquakes on immediately neighboring fault segments, sequences can include gaps due to strain release by poorly characterized earthquakes in the historic past. We also document 83 aftershocks to the 1860 earthquake sequence, including a previously unknown damaging shock, estimated MI∼6.6, on 10 April 1860 near Jérémie, farther west of l’Anse-à-Veau.
A Python Code for Detecting True Repeating Earthquakes from Self-Similar Waveforms (FINDRES)
Authors: Sugan Monica , Campanella Stefano , Vuan Alessandro , Shakibay Senobari Nader
Published: July 2022

Seismic data are generally scrutinized for repeating earthquakes (REs) to evaluate slip rates, changes in the mechanical properties of a fault zone, and accelerating nucleation processes in foreshock and aftershock sequences. They are also used to study velocity changes in the medium, earthquake physics and prediction, and for constraining creep rate models at depth. For a robust detection of repeaters, multiple constraints and different parameter configurations related to waveform similarity have been proposed to measure cross-correlation values at a local seismic network and evaluate the location of overlapping sources. In this work, we developed a Python code to identify REs (FINDRES), inspired by previous literature, which combines both seismic waveform similarity and differential S-P travel time measured at each seismic station. A cross-spectral method is applied to evaluate precise differential arrival travel times between earthquake pairs, allowing a subsample precision and increasing the capacity to resolve an overlapping common source radius. FINDRES is versatile and works with and without P- and S-wave phase pickings, and has been validated using synthetic and real data, and provides reliable results. It would contribute to the implementation of open-source Python packages in seismology, supporting the activities of researchers and the reproducibility of scientific results.
The effects of theta burst stimulation on working memory and emotional wellbeing
Authors:   , Cook Riley , Medaglia John D
Published: July 2022

Working memory (WM) is a fundamental brain process that describes holding a limited amount of information in mind. WM is sensitive to injury, cognitive decline, and psychological dysfunction, making WM deficits common in various psychiatric, developmental, and neurologic disorders. Additionally, it is possible that WM supports reappraisal emotion regulation (ER), mediating suppression of negative emotions and improving psychological well-being (Tien-Wen, et al., 2018). While the psychological basis of WM has been the subject of study for many years, the past decade has placed an increasing emphasis on the role of brain networks in mediating cognitive processes, such as memory. The central executive network (CEN) and default mode network (DMN) are shown to be inversely correlated at rest and during WM-demanding tasks and accompany WM deficits (Goulden, et al, 2014). Brain-based techniques drawing from modern neuroscience that show promise in improving WM are desirable given a dearth of treatments for WM dysfunction that generalize to real-world contexts. Recent therapeutic techniques, such as theta burst stimulation (TBS), have allowed researchers to investigate the relationship between neural activity and behavior, thus further raising interest into clinical applications amongst various neurorehabilitative and neuropsychiatric populations. To test a proof of principle that cTBS can be used to modulate WM based on CEN-DMN opponent processes, we hypothesize that using excitatory TBS (iTBS) on the DMN will reduce performance on working memory tasks, as well as decrease positive mood. Additionally, we posited that inhibitory TBS (cTBS) used on the DMN will improve performance on working memory tasks, as well as increase positive mood. Our data did not suggest that either iTBS or cTBS had an effect on WM and emotional wellbeing scores, however, it is necessary evaluate future implications regarding data trends.
Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) vs Newtonian Dynamics: The Simple Test to Solve the Constant Speed of Galaxy Rotation
Authors:   Department of Physics, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Nasrulloh Huda
Published: July 2022

The rotation curve of galaxies for M33 in 1959 by Louise Volders gave the new hypothetical about the invisible matter that contributes inside of the galaxy, which later we call dark matter (DM). However, recently the theory about DM is still incomplete to understand this matter. This situation makes some scientists look for alternative ways such as f(R) gravity and conformal gravity theory. We have studied Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) and Newtonian Dynamics (ND). We try to show the simple model that aims to give an analysis that MOND can correct to solve the constant speed of galaxy rotation. For simplicity, we consider the value of α = 1. The graph shows that the MOND model has a constant speed of 100 kilometres per second. While for the ND model, the speed will decrease for radius goes to infinity because the speed is dependent on r. Based on this result, we obtain that MOND can show the constant speed of galaxy rotation than ND. This result can conclude that MOND can solve the rotation curve of the galaxy.

Long-run effects of human development and public governance on economic welfare: New evidence from transition economies
Authors: Aktas Emin Efecan
Published: July 2022

The study attempts to gauge the impact of human development and public governance quality on economic welfare in the long term. The basic proposal of the analysis is that economic growth and/or development cannot be the measurement of the value of economic performance. For this reason, the Economic Prosperity Index, developed by the “Legatum Institute” is the dependent variable of the linear logarithmic model estimated in the paper. Besides, the measurement of economic welfare, (public) governance quality, which neoclassical economics ignored for a certain period, is considered an important input to human development. By taking these two variables into the research center, the study sights the rise in the prosperity (welfare) of 31 transition economies that achieved intense development after the 2000s from 2007 to 2020. Transition economies are selected owing to the rapid development and strong welfare effects they have reached with the millennium. So, the main hypothesis of the research is that transition economies have high human development and good governance that creates economic prosperity. By applying this research question, cross-sectional dependence and slope homogeneity tests, unit root tests, and co-integration tests, the author has conducted the lag length selection before the long-run relationship. Comprehensive analysis findings reveal that both indicators enhance economic prosperity by positively affecting them in the long run and that some of the deviations are improved.
Naturally traditional or traditionally natural – exploring the concepts natural and traditional in marketing research
Authors: First Komen Ivana , Grgurić Čop Nina
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this research is to understand how current marketing research conceptualises natural and traditional products – products that strongly attract consumer attention and capture large and growing market shares yet remain vague and weakly defined by a regulatory framework. The analysis is conducted on systematically selected research articles published in relevant journals over the past two decades. The results show that the natural products are mostly defined by the way they are produced and the ingredients they do not contain, while no consensus was reached for the traditional products. Furthermore, not only is the concept of traditional defined by an unusually large number of themes, but the themes also vary considerably depending on stakeholder group from which they originate, indicating an inevitable communication problem between these groups. The results also show that despite attempts by marketers to link the meanings of the two types of products, the themes in the definitions of natural and traditional products are different and overlap only sporadically. These findings serve as a step toward creating better academic conceptualizations and a more specific regulatory framework for natural and traditional products that will reduce the likelihood of misleading business practises and confusion among consumers and researchers.
How does the ICT affect human development? Evidence from developing vs. developed countries
Authors: Ježić Zoran , Zaninović Petra Adelajda , Škulić Renee
Published: July 2022

This study aims to assess the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on human development (measured with the human development index – HDI). The authors have analyzed the countries with different development levels in order to identify the possible differences in these impacts when observing the level of income (development of the country). The paper uses a static panel data regression analysis, while a fixed-effects estimator (FE) is used for estimation. To address the possible endogeneity problem caused by reverse causality, we also perform a dynamic panel data regression using the Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) estimator. The results support our hypothesis and show that ICT use and tertiary education positively affect human development, although the results vary by estimator. While in the case of the FE estimator, the effects are significant and positive across all observed countries, the results with the GMM estimators show a significant impact of ICT only in the case of upper-middle-income countries. However, it also implies that the lagged value of the HDI has significant and positive effects on the observed HDI. For economic policy, the results pinpoint the importance of ICT as a relevant instrument that can positively influence people’s lives directly or indirectly.
Processed meat and its relationship with cancer: Literature review
Authors: Jain Surabhi
Published: July 2022

Large number of observational scientific studies and numerous research papers, has suggested that high consumption of red meat and processed meat products has an adverse effect on human health. These findings have led advocacy groups around the world to recommend that the general population should reduce use of processed meats and meat products, with the overall goal of reducing the risk of disease, especially cancer. Even World Health Organization (WHO)’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) stated that consuming processed meat is found to be “carcinogenic to humans (Group I),” and that consuming Red meat is “probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A).” So the present article reviews the research and data available regarding relationship between processed meat and cancer.
Biophysical and anthropometric indices of children enrolled in acustomized sports club in a school setting

Published: July 2022

Achieving lasting impact on health outcomes requires a focus not just on patient care, but on community wide approaches (such as school) aimed at improving population health. Interventions that address the conditions in the places where we live, learn, work, and play have the greatest potential impact on our health and beginning early in school settings can go a long way.

The study aimed to assess the biophysical and anthropometric indices of children enrolled in a customized sports club in a school setting along with assessing the feasibility and effectiveness of establishing a customized “Sports Club” in a school setting.

Uncontrolled quasi experimental design was employed. Students of 5 – 8 standard who consented to participate were enrolledin a customized “Active Sports Club” for 90days. Pre-tested questionnaire, anthropometric and biophysical measurements were conducted before and after the intervention. The customized sports club schedule included 15 minutes of Pranayam daily; fixed set of aerobic exercise and sports conducted alternately.

Overall the enrollment of boys (64%) was double than girls (36%) in the sports club and girls of 12-14 years had higher values of total body fat (TBF%) as per the cut-offs. Blood pressure values were in the “at risk” range. The sports club was well accepted by students, teachers and parents. Post intervention proportion of children having normal nutritional status increased; undernourished decreased while overweight remained stagnant. TBF percent values did not shift in “at risk” category and the blood pressure values reduced dramatically among the selected children.

The customized sports clubcan be extrapolated the school facilities and could be managed with existing staff as well as time and a positive impact on the anthropometric and biophysical parameters of the participants was recorded.
