The dynamics of women’s representation in legislative body of Tasikmalaya City, West Java Indonesia
Authors: Widyawati Widyawati
Published: June 2022

Women’s representation in the legislative body has a significant role in increasing democratic quality. This is because democracy necessitates the equality between men and women in political spheres, including in the legislative body. This article aims to critically analyze women’s representation in the legislative body in Tasikmalaya City and examine the implementation of affirmative action through 30% quota for women. The method used in this research is content analysis companied with political approach. As for the data, this article utilizes primary and secondary data collected through in-depth interview and library research, respectively. In addition, the data were analyzed through the concept of representation proposed by Pitkin as well as an integrated model of women’s representation used by Schwindt-Bayer and Mishler. This study reveals that women’s representation in a political position, such as parliament, does not merely depend on affirmative action through legal rules, it is also influenced by political, socioeconomic and ideological-psychological factors. This study concludes that women’s underrepresentation in parliament of Tasikmalaya City is caused not by a single factor, but by various factors such as education, religious and patriarchal beliefs as well as competencies of women candidates.

Published: June 2022

Background. MRI-detected inflammation around the extensor tendons of metacarpophalangeal (MCP-)joints is prevalent in RA and poses a markedly increased risk of RA-development when present in arthralgia patients. Such inflammation is called ‘peritendinitis’ since anatomy literature reports no presence of a tenosynovial sheath at these tendons. However, the presence or absence of tenosynovium at these extensor tendons has never been studied. Methods. Therefore, an anatomical and histological study of extensor tendons at the MCP-joints of two embalmed human hands was performed. Routine histology with Haematoxylin-Eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining was performed. Results. Immunohistochemistry showed presence of markers for synovial macrophages and fibroblast-like synoviocytes bordering a natural dorsal space next to the extensor tendon, suggesting the presence of a synovial lining. Conclusion. This implies that contrast-enhancement on MRI around extensor tendons at MCP-joints observed in early RA and pre-RA likely represents tenosynovitis and that inflammation of this synovial tissue is an early feature of RA.
Closed Form Solution of Plane-Parallel Turbulent Flow Along an Unbounded Plane Surface
Authors: Sun Bohua
Published: June 2022

A century-old scientific conundrum is solved in this paper. The Prandtl mixing length modelled plane boundary turbulent flow is described by: $\frac{du^+}{d{y^+} }+\kappa^2{y^+} ^2\left( \frac{du^+}{d{y^+} }\right)^2=1$, together with boundary condition $ {y^+} =0:\, u^+=0$. Only an approximate solution to this nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) has been sought so far, however, the exact solution to this ODE has not been obtained. By introducing a transformation, $2\kappa y^+=\sinh \xi$, I successfully find the exact solution of the ODE as follows: $u^+=\frac{1}{\kappa}\ln(2\kappa {y^+} +\sqrt{1+4\kappa^2{y^+} ^2})-\frac{2{y^+} }{1+\sqrt{1+4\kappa^2{y^+} ^2}}$.

Enumeration of Public Health Nurses in the United States: Limits of Current Standards
Authors: Kneipp Shawn M. , Edmonds Joyce K. , Cooper Jennifer , Campbell Lisa A. , Little Susan Haynes , Mix Aisha K.
Published: June 2022

Recent national initiatives in nursing and public health have emphasized the need for a robust public health nursing (PHN) workforce. In this article, we analyze the extent to which recent national enumeration surveys base their counts of this workforce on the definitions, scope, and standards for practice and practice competencies of the PHN nursing specialty.

By and large, enumeration surveys continue to rely on practice setting to define the PHN workforce, which is an insufficient approach for meeting the goals of major nursing and public health initiatives.

We make recommendations for the development of new standards for PHN enumeration to strengthen the broader public health infrastructure and evaluate PHN contributions to population-level outcomes. (Am J Public Health. 2022;112(S3):S292–S297. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.306782 )
Challenges Facing Public Health Nursing Faculty in the United States: COVID-19 as a Catalyst for Change
Authors: Thurman Whitney , Heitkemper Elizabeth , Johnson Karen E.
Published: June 2022

We present an analysis of challenges facing public health nursing faculty members (PHNF) in the United States and their broader societal implications. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these challenges, making them untenable.

Current academic structures—influenced by the broader sociopolitical climate—are problematic for PHNF: they disincentivize PHNF from researching social determinants of health and public health systems, teaching systems-level content that may be deemed “controversial” and that is not included on licensure exams, and engaging in service through advocacy and community partnerships. The fault lines within health care, public health systems, and higher education indicate that it is time to reevaluate how to incentivize socially just and equitable outcomes.

Toward this goal, we propose that collective action and systemic change, including the perspectives of PHNF, is needed to better realize our shared goals. The analysis serves as a catalyst for conversations about academic structures, health care systems, the role of public health, and the kind of society we envision for ourselves and future generations.

Published: June 2022

There are few educational programs in the United States that have a primary focus on preparing nurses to engage in all levels of public health, health policy, and climate change. The United Nations sustainability development goals (SDG) and the Future of Nursing 2020–2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity (2021) report underscored the importance of key stakeholders, including nurses, engaging in advocacy and policy to promote health equity.

We discuss the role of nursing at the intersection of public health, policy, climate change, and the SDG. We also discuss the history and merger of the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) School of Nursing public health and health policy specialties, a significant innovation in our effort to promote health equity.

We provide a brief overview of the redesigning of our curriculum that meets the needs of today’s learners by including content on climate change, data analytics, and racial, social, and environmental justice. Finally, we emphasize the need to train the next cadre of nurses interested in careers in public health and health policy for us to meet the challenges facing our communities.

Published: June 2022

Digital payments are proliferating along with a massive and rapid digital transformation. However, the characteristics of transactions using digital payments, which are real-time, not face-to-face, and borderless create potential risks for financial crimes, including, Money Laundering and Funding Terrorism. The potential for abuse occurs in the registered and licensed digital payments sector and illegal digital payments that are not registered with the Bank Indonesia. Undoubtedly, this condition can threaten economic stability and financial system integrity. This article seeks to identify the potential for digital payment use for financial crime and construct a legal framework to prevent the misuse of FinTech for financial crime in Indonesia. This type of research is legal research. The research method used was a statutory comparative approach. The legal materials used were primary and secondary legal materials. The findings have been analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques. The results of the study show that several cases of terrorism financing have been proven to have used FinTech digital payments as a means of online funding. In this regard, to maintain the integrity of the financial system and strengthen the government’s control functions, a comprehensive legal framework is needed through the establishment of Law on FinTech.
Symmetric Resonance Mechanism for Elimination of Parasitic Torque of a Permanent Magnet Generator under Stable Load
Authors: Dobrego K. V. , Koznacheev I. A.
Published: June 2022

Vibration and torque ripple of the permanent magnet generator axis cause excessive wearing up of the generator, noise, efficiency reduction. The article theoretically considers the possibility of eliminating the oscillation of the rotation torque of the permanent magnets generator at constant load due to mutual compensation of the interaction of coils with the field of permanent magnets in the case of certain symmetry of this field. This effect is called pi resonance. For a given class of model functions of the magnetic field density of permanent magnets, it is shown that full compensation occurs with a certain number of coils (Ns) and magnets (Nr), while for other combinations of {Ns, Nr} the interaction is in the nature of oscillations. Pi resonance tables are given for a number of model field density functions represented by Fourier series up to the fifth power. Pi resonance is primarily realized in the case of a small difference in the values of Nr and Ns, which corresponds to the location near the main diagonal of the pi resonance table, as well as at the values of Nr, Ns corresponding to prime numbers. The number of configurations {Nr, Ns} providing pi resonance (compensation of parasitic torques) is the largest for the sinusoidal magnetic flux density and decreases if the magnetic flux density function is approximated by a high-degree Fourier series. It is shown that in the absence of coil cores, pi resonance is possible at Nr = Ns. An additional possibility of pi resonance is shown when placing coils on opposite sides of the rotor. A simplified method of investigating the system (without integrating the equation for the induction current) is substantiated. The results can be used in the design of permanent magnets generators and motors.

Published: June 2022

Thermal furnaces and auxiliary equipment for the main thermal treatments (normalization, annealing, isothermal annealing, improvement) are considered, to which products must be subjected after ring rolling to create mechanical properties and structures in annular workpieces that improve the machinability by cutting. The basic requirements for thermal furnaces optimal for an automated section of heat treatment of annular blanks after ring rolling have been developed. It is shown that to perform all the specified types of heat treatment, it is advisable to use the same type of thermal equipment that has the same overhaul life and service life. This makes it possible to stop the automated line at the same time and simultaneously provide service for all components of the line. The use of shaft furnaces for heat treatment in an automated heat treatment line is not appropriate, since there is practically no experience of embedding them in such lines.
Method for determining of statistical characteristics of evaluated distance obtained from measurements of Doppler frequency offsets
Authors: Legkostup V. V.
Published: June 2022

This paper presents a technique for obtaining of the main statistical characteristics of the distance estimation between the flying object and a hyperbolic navigation system using two Doppler frequency shifts of the navigation signal. This problem arises when the guidance of the object at a target point along a hyperbola using a bistatic hyperbolic navigation system is considered. Despite the fact that the object guidance loop is closed according to the time difference of arrival information, it is necessary to enter the distance between the object and the center of the navigation system into the algorithm for generating control commands in order to stabilize the frequency response of the control loop and eliminate dynamic errors. This article discusses the statistical characteristics of the estimated range based on the measurements of three values of the object’s speed: its own speed and two projections of this speed on the lines connecting the object with the navigation positions.

Development and Verification of Triple-Ridge-Shaped Cutter for PDC Bits
Authors: Shao Fangyuan , Liu Wei , Gao Deli , Zhao Xing
Published: June 2022

Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutter is the key component of PDC bits, whose rock-breaking characteristics are particularly crucial for the bit performance. Based on the understanding on rock-breaking characteristics of various shaped cutters, the multiridge-shaped cutter has been developed to improve the cutting efficiency and durability of PDC cutters. The design of multiple ridges combines the advantages of both the shaped cutter and the reasonable narrow cutter spacing of the bit cutting structure. More specifically, a triple-ridge-shaped cutter (TSC) was compared with the widely used axe-shaped cutter (ASC) in this work to recognize the superiority of the novel multiridge cutter shape. Numerical simulation, laboratory experiments, and field testing were performed to investigate the cutter-rock interactions of TSC and ASC. Numerical simulations were carried out using nonlinear finite element software LS-DYNA and verified by the single cutter testing. Both numerical and experimental results proved that the stress concentration caused by the triple-ridge cutter shape of TSC is significantly greater than that of ASC during the cutter-rock interaction. And the tangential force of TSC is much less than that of ASC under the same cutting conditions, indicating that the PDC bit equipped with TSCs requires less torque while drilling. According to the results of the fractal analysis model of cuttings and the mechanical specific energy (MSE), TSC consumed less drilling energy than ASC to break the same volume of rock, which demonstrated that the TSC has greater cutting efficiency than ASC. Beneficially, the greater cutting aggressivity of TSC in turn improves the wear resistance. The laboratory wear and impact tests presented that TSC outperforms ASC in both wear resistance and impact resistance, indicating better durability under downhole. Although only one controlled experiment was conducted in the field, the field test result showed over 100% improvement in average rate of penetration. In short, the numerical, laboratory, and field testing have confirmed a great potential of TSC in improving the cutting efficiency and durability of PDC bits. The results of this work will provide valuable guidance for the development of shaped PDC cutters to overcome engineering limitations.

Authors: Nasyrova S. I.
Published: June 2022

Objective: to develop the conceptual provisions and conceptual-categorical apparatus of a human-oriented economy by developing approaches to the definition of a human-oriented economy and determining the universal and specifi  characteristics of the phenomenon under study.

Methods: content analysis, the method of formal logic, the method of two-level triadic decryption of categories.

Results: the discrepancy was revealed between the existing theoretical approaches to human-oriented economy and the socioeconomic relations resulting from the increasing role of human needs associated with human development; the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the human-oriented economy was constructed through the synthesis of two methods: formal logic and two-level triadic decoding of the category; the understanding of the necessary (satisfaction of human needs) and sufficient (objective necessity of human needs) conditions for the development of a human-oriented economy was revealed; two levels of triads of concepts characterizing the essence of a human-centered economy are defined: human nature (biological, cognitive, social), resources (human, material, informational), goods (products, services, ideas).

Scientific novelty: the article constructs the new definition of a “human-oriented economy”, which unlike those available in the literature allows complete interpretation of this concept, covering its fundamental qualitative characteristics.

Practical significance: the main provisions and conclusions of the article can be widely used in scientific activity in order to develop the conceptual apparatus of a human-oriented economy, as well as to form a holistic scientifically subtantiated theory of human-oriented economy. The results obtained are the starting point for the formation of approaches designed to determine the level of development of the human-centered economy in Russia in order to develop a set of measures for its effective management.

Published: June 2022

Objective: to identify the main features of the impact of the intellectual property institute on the Russian innovation system development using the analysis of theoretical studies and narratives on the impact of intellectual property on innovations.

Methods: qualitative methods of analysis of institutions (narrative analysis), analysis of statistical data.

Results: the difference between the traditional, mixed and heterodox approaches to substantiating or criticizing the intellectual property institute is shown. To illustrate the ideas of each of the selected approaches, relevant examples of narratives are given, which describe the impact of intellectual property on innovative activity. Based on the study of the global experience in overcoming problems related to intellectual property, it is shown that many countries have long been taking measures to limit the validity of foreign patents in order to support the innovative activity of national enterprises. The analysis of narratives also demonstrates the existence of a typical narrative about the rejection of international patents in the field of medicines production and medical technologies, justified by the state’s concern for the health and safety of the population. Scientific novelty: it consists in applying the methodology of narrative economics to the analysis of intellectual property and its role in the Russian innovation system.

Practical significance: the main provisions of the article can be used to review the inefficiency of the existing intellectual property institute and to propose promising ways to reform it.

Mediation in criminal misdemeanor cases
Authors: Charkoudian L. , Walter J. , Harmon-Darrow C. , Bernstein J.
Published: June 2022

Objective: to fill a research gap by examining the shortand long-term impact of community mediation in criminal misdemeanor cases within the context of potentially ongoing relationships.

Methods: dialectical approach to cognition of social phenomena, using the general scientific and specific scientific methods of cognition, based on it, including telephone polling and studying cases data.

Results: Diversion of criminal misdemeanors to mediation by district attorneys has been practiced since the 1970s, but research on its impact on critical outcomes like recidivism is scant and outdated. This quasi-experimental study compares 78 mediated cases from a county that diverts cases to mediation with 128 cases in a similar neighboring county that does not, using phone surveys and case review to ask whether recidivism in mediated cases differs from cases prosecuted or treated as usual over the subsequent year. Controlling for case factors and attitudes toward conflict, a case that is not mediated was five times more likely to result in judicial action, five times more likely to result in jury trial demand, and ten times more likely to result in supervised probation or jail time, and mediated cases were almost five times less likely to return to criminal court in the subsequent year than those that were not mediated.

Scientific novelty: Preliminary analysis of case characteristics revealed that cases in the mediation and comparison group had the following characteristics: defendants had no prior felony convictions, did not have multiple misdemeanor charges, and had no outstanding warrants. Charges involving any type of weapon, drugs, or violence more serious than second degree assault had been excluded from the comparison group since they are usually excluded from diversion to mediation.

Practical significance: the main provisions and conclusions of the article can be used in scientific, pedagogical and law enforcement activities when considering the issues related to mediation in criminal misdemeanor cases.

In silico studies of Mpro and PLpro from SARS-CoV-2 and a new class of Cephalosporin drugs containing 1,2,4-thiadiazole
Authors: Delgado Cássia Pereira , Rocha João Batista Teixeira , Orian Laura , Nogara Pablo Andrei , Bortoli Marco
Published: June 2022

The proteases from SARS-CoV-2, i.e., Mpro and PLpro, are important targets for the development of antivirals against COVID-19. The functional group 1,2,4-thiadiazole was demonstrated to inhibit cysteine proteases, such as papain and Cathepsins, and it is found in a new class of cephalosporin FDA-approved drugs: Ceftaroline Fosamil, Ceftobiprole, and Ceftobiprole Medocaril. In this work, we investigate the interactions of these drugs and their metabolites with the SARS-CoV-2 proteasesby molecular docking and density functional theory (DFT) calculations and propose a mechanism of inhibition as well. Our results indicate that the PLpro enzyme could be a better target for these drugs than the Mpro, suggesting that these compounds and metabolites can be tested inin vitro/vivo assays to confirm their inhibitory action. In addition, the data here reported can help in the design of new potential drugs against COVID-19.

Authors: Morris Lydia , Dumville Jo , Treweek Shaun , Miah Nasima , Curtis Ffion , Bower Pete
Published: June 2022

Background: Despite substantial awareness that certain groups (e.g. ethnic minorities) are under-represented and under-served in trials, limited progress has been made in addressing this. As well as a public service and ethical duty to recruit and engage under-served groups in relevant research, importantly there are clear scientific benefits; for example, increased generalisability. The key aims of the current study were to explore the following: general barriers and facilitators to enhancing the recruitment of under-served group into trials; the usability and value of a specific tool (INCLUDE Ethnicity Framework) to support engagement and recruitment of under-served groups; ways of engaging diverse patient, public and community involvement and engagement (PCIE) groups.Methods: Firstly researchers completed a brief survey in relation to a specific trial in which they were involved (N = 182, 38% response rate). A second stage involved sampling survey respondents and asking them to complete the INCLUDE Ethnicity Framework and then a remote semi-structured interview (N = 15). Qualitative data were analysed using Thematic Analysis. Finally, we conducted a consultation process with PCIE contributors primarily to develop guidelines for discussing the INCLUDE Ethnicity Framework with PCIE representatives.Results: Researchers recognised the importance of increasing engagement and recruitment of under-served groups within trials, but varied in their knowledge, ability and commitment to implementation in practice. The INCLUDE Ethnicity Framework was described by some as raising their awareness of how inclusion could be improved. Respondents highlighted a need for shared resources and wider structural change to facilitate such engagement. PCIE was identified, in the survey and interviews, as the most common method of trying to improve recruitment of under-served groups. However, researchers also commonly highlighted that PCIE groups were sometimes not very diverse. Conclusions: There is a need for researchers to consider the funding and time resources required for diverse and inclusive recruitment to trials, and for funders to enable this. The INCLUDE Ethnicity Framework can help to raise awareness of inclusion challenges. This study indicates that it is important to take proactive steps to involve relevant under-served groups in PCIE and practical suggestions are made to facilitate this.

Background Prostate cancers have a very high mortality rate, with no improvement in the survival rate being achieved over the past few decades. KiSS1 was originally identified as the metastasis suppressor gene in metastatic melanoma breast cancer, but its role in prostate cancer has been contradictory. This study was therefore undertaken to investigate the effects of KiSS1 overexpression on the growth and migration of human metastatic prostate cancer cells. Methods DU145 human metastatic prostate cancer cells were infected with the culture medium of 293T cells, which produce lentivirus particles containing KiSS1. The tumor spheroid formation assay, qPCR and immunoblotting analysis, migration and invasion assays were performed in this study following KiSS1 introduction. A xenograft mouse model was employed to investigate the overexpression of KiSS1 in prostate cancer in vivo. Results A significant increase in proliferation of KiSS1-overexpressing cancer cells was observed, and these cells formed tumor spheroids larger than the vector control group. qPCR and immunoblotting revealed the association between increased cell growth and regulation of the PI3K/Akt and cell cycle genes, and also that increases in β-catenin and CD133 contribute to tumor aggregation. KiSS1 overexpression resulted in upregulation of the β-arrestin1/2 and Raf-MEK-ERK-NF-κB pathways via KISS1R. Moreover, the migration and invasion of KiSS1-overexpressing cells were determined to be faster than the control group, along with increased metastatic colonization of the KiSS1-overexpressing cancer cells. These were associated to the regulation of EMT gene expressions, such as E-cadherin and N-cadherin, and the upregulation of MMP9. In the xenograft mouse model, KiSS1 significantly increased the tumor growth, with upregulation of PCNA and Ki-67 in the tumor tissues. In addition, KiSS1 increased the angiogenic capacity by upregulating VEGF-A and CD31, both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion These results indicate that KiSS1 not only induces prostate cancer proliferation, but also promotes metastasis by increasing the migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of malignant cells.

Grape is a globally significant fruit in the world. Flower bud differentiation of grape is closely related to light quality. In order to understand the regulation mechanism of grape flower bud differentiation under red-blue combined light, the transcriptome and hormone content were determined in four stages of flower bud differentiation. The contents of IAA and ABA in grape buds at all stages of flower bud differentiation under red-blue combined light were higher than those in control. However, the contents of CKs and GAs fluctuated continuously during the process. Moreover, it was found that many differential expression genes (DEGs) were involved in auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin, and the abscisic acid signal transduction pathway. There were significant differences in the genes of AUX/IAA, SAUR, A-RR, and ABF between the red-blue combination light treatment and the control buds, especially the ABF genes were utterly different. The expression of GBF4 and AI5L2 in control were always low, while the expression under the red-blue combined light increased. AI5L7 and AI5L5 showed an upward trend in control and gradually decreased under the red-blue combined light. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), transcription factors WRKY family WRK48, ERF family EF110, ABR1, CAMTA family CAMTA3, HSF family HSFA3 may be involved in the regulation of the GBF4 gene. This study will lay a foundation for further analysis of grape flower bud differentiation regulation under red-blue combined light.

Recently, automatic modulation classification (AMC) has acquired a lot of interest in the optical communication community. Most optical wireless communication systems are intended to transmit multimedia content, especially video and speech signals. The optical wireless communication channel has variable characteristics. Hence, there is a need for an adaptive modulation scheme to cope with the varying channel characteristics. Adaptive modulation requires the implementation of adaptive modulation classification at the receiver end. Instead of using complex classification with deep learning techniques, a simple proposed scheme for AMC is introduced in this paper. This proposed scheme is based on a chaotic Baker map (CBM), wavelet image fusion, and autocorrelation estimation. It depends on constellation diagrams for eight modulation formats, including (B/Q/8/16 PSK), (8/16/32/64 QAM). The constellation diagrams are acquired and utilized through the CBM, and they are merged using the wavelet image fusion and stored as reference templates in the system database. After that, the classification of each modulation format depends on estimated correlation scores and a thresholding strategy. Simulation results prove good classification and recognition for all studied modulation formats.

Facilitating the development of green agriculture is an effective way to reduce carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutrality. However, researches on the development of green agriculture are still on the way. Despite the fact that many researchers have explored and analyzed this issue, there is still a gap between stakeholders of green agricultural development combined with low-carbon policies and green preferences that has been overlooked, resulting in theory and practice being imperfect. To bridge this gap, a three-party evolutionary game model based on the government’s low-carbon policies and stakeholders’ green preferences is developed. Numerical simulations are applied to verify real-world tripartite participation. The six key parameters that influence strategic behaviour are thoroughly discussed. The findings show that: (1) appropriate subsidies policy and relatively high carbon prices are conducive to promoting the development of green agriculture; (2) The improvement of three parties’ green preference enhances people’s low-carbon awareness in the market; (3) Different levels of green preference lead to government’s uneven strategies, which depend on the relative level of its green preference and regulate cost. Finally, this study addresses how to promote green agricultural development and offers several management recommendations.
