Authors: Hartati Hartati
Published: September 2023

Leukemia Limfoblastik Akut (ALL/LLA) adalah proliferasi ganas sel limfoid yang tersumbat pada tahap awal diferensiasi yang dapat menyerang sumsum tulang, darah, dan situs ekstrameduler. Penatalaksanaan leukemia meliputi terapi kuratif dan suportif. Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh gambaran tentang regimen kemoterapi pasien ALL yang disertai Hepatitis B Kronik dan HIV positif. Pengumpulan data menggunakan desain deskriptif dengan metode wawancara serta observasi langsung kondisi pasien dan e-rekam medik, e-resep yang dikaji kesesuaiannya berdasarkan protokol kemoterapi. Berdasarkan sequencing regimen kemoterapi diperoleh bahwa pasien menerima regimen Hyper CVAD dengan nilotinib, dimana penilaian resiko Chemotherapy Induced Nausea Vomiting diperoleh bahwa protokol kemoterapi yang diterima termasuk dalam kategori Moderate Emetogenic. Regimen ini juga disertai dengan pemberian Methotrexate dosis tinggi sebagai profilaksis CNS. Akan tetapi, untuk mengurangi resiko nefrotoksisitas akibat pemberian Methotrexate dosis tinggi, maka diperlukan tambahan natrium bikarbonat dan allopurinol untuk mencegah TLS pada pasien dengan ALL.Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) is a malignant proliferation of lymphoid cells that are occlude at an early stage of differentiation and can invade the bone marrow, blood, and extramedullary sites. Management of leukemia includes curative and supportive therapy. This case study aims to obtain an overview of the chemotherapy regimen of ALL patients with chronic hepatitis B and HIV. Data were collected in a descriptive design with interview methods and direct observation of patient conditions and e-medical records. E-prescriptions were reviewed for suitability based on chemotherapy protocols. Based on the chemotherapy regimen sequencing, it was found that the patient received the hyper-CVAD regimen with nilotinib, while the chemotherapy-induced nausea and Vomiting risk assessment found that the chemotherapy protocol received was included in the Moderate Emetogenic category. This regimen is also accompanied by the administration of high doses of Methotrexate as CNS prophylaxis. However, to reduce the risk of nephrotoxicity due to the administration of high doses of Methotrexate, it is necessary to add sodium bicarbonate and allopurinol to prevent TLS in patients with ALL.

Published: September 2023

The fruit plant known as the soursop (Annona muricata L.) is indigenous to the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. The leaves of soursop contain substances with the potential to be cytotoxic, such as phenols and anonaceous acetogenins. Numerous variables, including geographic location, climatic conditions, and pest or disease disturbance factors, might impact a compound's phenol levels and toxicity. This study aims to investigate whether there are variations in the phenolic content and toxicity of the ethanol extract of soursop leaves that are grown in Gowa, Takalar, and Pinrang, three distinct regions in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The Folin-Ciocalteu reagent was used to evaluate the total phenolic content, whereas Artemia salina Leach larvae were used for the BSLT method of the toxicity test. The results showed that the extracts of soursop leaves from Gowa, Pinrang, and Takalar had total phenolic contents of 3.7588% mg GAE/g, 0.9686% mg GAE/g, and 1.3832% mg GAE/g, respectively. Gowa, Pinrang, and Takalar have LC50 values of 38.19 µg/mL, 34.35 µg/mL, and 70.95 µg/mL, respectively, indicating their toxicity. The conclusion is that there were differences in the phenolic content and toxicity level of the ethanol extract of soursop leaves. All of these areas could source raw materials of soursop for the development of herbal medicines with cytotoxicity, i.e., anticancer, because they have LC50< 1,000 µg/mL.

Published: September 2023

In unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), the tibial component has a small coronal plane width, the tibia and tibial component rotations are mismatched, and the large tibial component posterior tilt may make accurate measurements of component positions difficult in radiography. The study aimed to assess the intra- and interobserver reliabilities of radiographic (2D) and 3D computed tomography (3D-CT) measurements and to determine the minimum detectable change (95% confidence level, MDC95) in the tibial component position measurements in UKA. The study included 23 females and 7 males. Two surgeons measured the tibial component position. Intraclass and interclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated to obtain reliability, and Bland–Altman analysis was performed to assess systematic errors. The MDC95 was calculated according to MDC95 = standard error of measurement × 1.96 × √2. In the 2D and 3D- CT measurements, intraobserver reliability for coronal and sagittal positions of the tibial component were sufficiently reliable, where ICCs were >0.8. In the coronal plane, the ICCs for interobserver reliability were lower in 2D (ICC, 0.5-0.7) than in 3D-CT (ICC > 0.9). Bland-Altman plots showed systematic bias in sagittal alignment in the 2D assessment. In the 3D assessment of intra- and interobserver reliability, the MDC95 of the coronal, sagittal, and axial planes was <2°. In the 2D intra- and interobserver reliability, the MDC95 of the coronal and sagittal planes was >2°. The 2D measurement had a risk of misidentifying the tibial component position in UKA.

Published: September 2023

The aim of this study was to examine the epidemiology, treatment, and patient-reported outcome of AO/OTA type C distal radius fractures (DRF) using data from a large national fracture register. We used prospectively collected data from the Swedish Fracture Register covering all AO/OTA type C DRFs registered between April 2012 and December 2018. Data on fracture type, epidemiology, trauma-mechanism, and treatment had been recorded by the treating physician. Patients had been sent an outcome questionnaire including EQ-VAS, EQ-5D, and the SMFA at the time of injury and 12 months after. A total of 12 199 cases with AO/OTA type C fracture were identified. AO/OTA type C1 fracture was most common, with 5400 cases, followed by AO type C2 with 4304 and AO/OTA type C3 with 2495. Cast treatment and surgical treatment with volar locking plate fixation were the most common treatments. Patient-reported outcome measures worsened significantly one year after the fracture, and 56% reported moderate problems with pain and discomfort one year after the fracture. Patients treated with a volar plate reported a significantly larger deterioration in EQ-5D outcome compared to patients treated with a cast. No treatment method was found to be superior. A good outcome after a type C fracture is possible, but many patients do not recover completely. Our findings indicate a relatively better self-reported outcome for patients treated with a cast, but as treatment was not randomized the clinical relevance is unclear.

Published: September 2023

We aimed to summarize the effectiveness and changing trends of reconstruction for the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries using all-inside arthroscope technique. Between May 2013 and May 2019, 29 patients with ACL and PCL ligaments rupture were included. All the patients were male, with a mean age of 25.2±2.9 years. The mean follow-up period was 2.4±0.7 years (Range, 2-4 years). Reconstruction surgery of the ACL and PCL ligaments was performed by using autologous hamstring tendon with all-inside arthroscopy technique. The anterior and posterior drawer test, Lachman test, Pivot-shift test, stress test, IKDC score, Lysholm score, Tenger score were analyzed clinically. At the last follow-up, the symptoms were improved significantly, the anterior drawer test was normal and 1 degree in 96.6%, posterior drawer test in 89.7%, pivot shift test in 96.6%, Lachman test in 93.1%, and stress test in 93.3%, the stability was improved significant(P<0.05). The IKDC-2000 standard score was normal and near normal in 96.6%. The IKDC subjective score, Lysholm score, and Tenger scores results at the last follow-up were significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). The changing trends of function evaluation score in the first six months were most obviously better, especially in the third month. All-inside arthroscopy technique is an effective procedure for the ACL and PCL ligaments injuries, and the first six months (especially the third month) after the reconstruction is the key period for a successful recovery. However, there was still a significant improvement at the later stage of rehabilitation.

Authors: KÜÇÜKALP Abdullah , ÖZDEMIR Bülent
Published: September 2023

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the analgesic solution prepared for periarticular injection (PAI) could be utilized as a genicular nerve blockade (GNB) agent in bilateral knee arthroplasty, and to assess the pain control efficacy of this approach in comparison with PAI. This was a retrospective cohort in which patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were evaluated. Thirty patients were enrolled. The standard PAI was used for one knee, while the PAI solution was applied in the form of GNB to the other. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores were measured and recorded separately for each knee, at rest (static) and during exercise (dynamic). Active range of joint motion (JRM) for both knee joints was measured preoperatively, at postoperatively. Compared to the PAI group, the GNB group had lower VAS scores at 2 and 8 hours (p = 0.030 and p < 0.001, respectively). The GNB group also had lower dynamic VAS scores at 2, 8, and 24 hours (p = 0.009, p <0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). Static and dynamic VAS measurements did not demonstrate any differences between groups (GNB vs. PAI) at 48 hours and 30 days (p>0.05). When the reduction in VAS scores was assessed, we found that the decrease in both scores was significantly greater in the PAI group compared to the GNB group (p<0.001, for both). There were no significant differences between the groups with regard to drainage volume, complications and JRM (p>0.05). GNB was found to be more effective for pain control throughout the first postoperative day in patients who underwent simultaneous bilateral TKA.
Patient-specific instrumentation in total knee arthroplasty: a review of the current literature
Authors: SCHÖNTHALER Wolfgang , DAUWE Jan , HOLZER Lukas A
Published: September 2023

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most frequently performed interventions in the field of Orthopaedic surgery. Over the last decades the implantation technique has improved continuously. The majority of patients is satisfied with the clinical outcome of TKA. However in various clinical follow-ups, up to 20% of unsatisfied patients can be observed. Periprosthetic infection and aseptic loosening seem to be the most common reasons for failure. Malalignment has been discussed as a cause of aseptic loosening and often leads to revision surgery. In order to increase the precision of implant positioning and alignment, new technologies such as patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) have been developed. Since the introduction of PSI, multiple clinical studies have been performed analyzing the clinical and radiological outcome of TKA with PSI technique. This review covers the recent literature of PSI in respect to surgical accuracy, clinical outcome, time- and cost-effectiveness.

Published: September 2023

The management of isolated radial neck and head fractures is controversial. Plate fixation and tripod fixation are two commonly employed techniques but risk damage to soft tissues and implant-related complications. Intramedullary fixation is commonly used in pediatric cases and reduces the potential drawbacks of open fixation. This systematic review aimed to analyze outcomes of intramedullary fixation in adults in terms of function, union, and complication rates. A systematic review of the literature was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines using Medline and EMBASE’s online databases. The review was registered on the PROSPERO database. Studies were appraised using the Methodological Index for non-randomized studies (MINORS) tool. Seven studies were deemed eligible for inclusion (n=55). Mean ages of patients ranged from 31.3 to 44.2 years, and mean follow-up ranged from 9 to 86 months. The Mayo Elbow Performance score (MEPs) was reported in five case series (mean scores 81.8 -97.9) and the prevalence of excellent results ranged from 71% and 83%. Although 100% of fractures united, the pooled complication rate was 24% (range 0-50%). The most common complications were elbow stiffness (7%), superficial radial nerve neuropraxia (7%), malunion (5%), and AVN (1.8%). No study reported any patients requiring revision surgery. Intramedullary fixation for radial head and neck fractures appears to provide a reliable alternative treatment option in terms of union, range of motion, and functional outcomes. Further robust trials direct comparing against open fixation techniques are required.

Authors: Ziazet Junior Momo , Boudreau Charles , Delgado Oscar , Jaumard Brigitte
Published: September 2023

Machine learning is a data-driven domain, which means a learning model's performance depends on the availability of large volumes of data to train it. However, by improving data quality, we can train effective machine learning models with little data. This paper demonstrates this possibility by proposing a methodology to generate high-quality data in the networking domain. We designed a dataset to train a given Graph Neural Network (GNN) that not only contains a small number of samples, but whose samples also feature network graphs of a reduced size (10-node networks). Our evaluations indicate that the dataset generated by the proposed pipeline can train a GNN model that scales well to larger networks of 50 to 300 nodes. The trained model compares favorably to the baseline, achieving a mean absolute percentage error of 5-6%, while being significantly smaller at 90 samples total (vs. thousands of samples for the baseline).
Análisis de la cadena valor de café orgánico para generar una estrategia de liderazgo en costos para la Central Local de Cooperativas Cafetaleras –CELCCAR L. de la Provincia de Caranavi La Paz
Authors: Quelali Mamani Lorenzo
Published: September 2023

La competitividad es explicada a partir de aspectos como la "Cadena de Valor", el "Análisis del Diamante", factores que de acuerdo al enfoque de Porter, explican la competitividad desde varios ángulos: funcionamiento interno de las empresas (financiero, productivo, social, etc.), estructura del mercado (interno y externo), poder de los competidores existentes, amenaza de nuevos competidores (nacionales e internacionales), poder de los compradores y de los proveedores, productos sustitutos, etc. De acuerdo con lo señalado por Michael Porter, estas condiciones de competitividad son: Liderazgo en costos (precio inferior al de la competencia), lograr un producto diferenciado de la competencia (por el mismo precio, mejores prestaciones), o dominando un "nicho" del mercado (exclusividad en el uso). Ninguna de estas condiciones de competitividad se puede alcanzar, si no se dispone de una estructura organizacional diseñada para gerenciar un mercado que ahora es más complejo. Caso concreto en el que se encuentra la Central Local de Cooperativas Cafetaleras – CELCCAR L. de la Provincia de Caranavi La Paz. Caranavi, capital cafetalera de Bolivia, cuenta con alrededor de 19.000 productores y 17.000 hectáreas sembradas, y recibe el apoyo de dos organizaciones grandes a nivel nacional, como la Federación de Caficultores Exportadores de Bolivia (FECAFEB) y la Asociación Nacional de Productores de Café (ANPROCA). En la provincia Caranavi se producen el 95% del café a nivel nacional, y la calidad del producto es reconocido a nivel internacional, ya que se tiene mucho cuidado con la calidad. Se venden café a Alemania, Estados Unidos, Canadá, Francia, cafés especiales, y recientemente llegaron a países de Asia. La cadena de valor de café en Caranavi comienza con los proveedores y materias primas. El uso de fertilizantes orgánicos en los cultivos de café no existe proveedores, por otro la producción de café orgánico está vinculada con la tecnificación, manejo de densidad, variedades, cosecha, calidad de granos de café para exportación, transformación en bebidas. Y es así que la presente investigación parte de la siguiente pregunta de investigación: ¿Cómo la cadena valor de café orgánico puede contribuir a definir una estrategia de liderazgo en costos que sea aplicada por la Central Local de Cooperativas Cafetaleras – CELCCAR L. de la Provincia de Caranavi La Paz?, misma interrogante que bajo criterios metodológicos (pasos a seguir) será contestada con la presente investigación.

Global warming is caused by the elimination of NOx. NOx elimination decrease CO2 assimilation, CO2 fix and heat absorption. Lack of N is caused by the elimination of NOx. Global warming will stop if developed countries stop the elimination of NOx. CO2 assimilation will be activated and global warming will stop. But developed countries hated NOx and are eliminating NOx by the reaction with ammonia Amount of NOx is much and amount of ammonia is much Much money is necessary to prepare ammonia. Much CH4 is necessary to prepare hydrogen. Toxity of NOx is almost zero and NOx is good fertilizer. NOx should be released without adding ammonia.

Published: September 2023

Acute leukemias and non-Hodgkin lymphomas together rank 4th among the most common neoplasms.  With curative treatment options, even in adverse situations, however, the decision-making process is delicate and statistical models can help. To identify the chemotherapy toxicity scales and their role in decision-making for the treatment of patients with acute lymphomas and leukemias, we conducted a scoping review on the PUBMED, BIREME, COCHRANE, and CAPES journal data platforms. Thirty articles were selected using the PRISMA protocol approach. There is no ideal scale for assessing chemotherapy toxicity, but there are common variables, such as comorbidities, functionality, age, LDH, renal function, and disease staging. Predictive models of treatment toxicity in patients with acute leukemia and lymphoma require more robust and prospective studies that include the validation of these models for better applicability.
The dilemmas of socialist education between 1918 and 1920 according to Krupskaya (1869-1939)
Authors: Tavares Karina Moniz , Toledo Cézar de Alencar Arnaut de
Published: September 2023

The present article has as general objective to analyze the differentiated access to education enjoyed by the bourgeois class and the working class in Russian socialist society between 1918-1920, according to N.K. Krupskaya (1869-1939). To achieve this goal, the theoretical framework was based on the work "General questions of pedagogy: organization of public education in the USSR", written by Krupskaya herself. A specific part of this work, especially in the chapter entitled "On the Question of the Soviet School", examines the distinctions between the bourgeois and working classes in terms of accessibility to education and pedagogical practice. The research problem is: What should a school capable of forming emancipated individuals look like from Krupskaya's perspective? To answer the question, we used bibliographical research. The results of the analysis showed that Krupskaya made it clear that education in socialist society was shaped by the influence of the wealthy class in society. She stressed the conversion to an emancipatory approach that recognized the importance of intellectual training and productive work equally.

Objective: to investigate the knowledge of health professionals about leprosy and its relationship with late diagnosis. Method: this is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach whose data were obtained through a questionnaire on leprosy and attitudes towards practices involving the care applied before and after a health training on the subject. Fisher's exact test was used to recheck statistical significance. Results: 67 health professionals working in the health care network of 20 municipalities in the Alto Vale do Rio do Peixe region in Santa Catarina participated in the study. Statistical significance was found (p-value 0.015) in the number of correct answers in the post-training questionnaire in relation to the pre-training questionnaire. The regular concept prevailed (60 to 69% of correct answers) about knowledge on leprosy in relation to the scale of correct answers. Conclusion: the training carried out improved the knowledge of the participating professionals, however, it revealed regular knowledge on the subject. Public policies to combat leprosy need to be strengthened, with everyone's engagement, reflecting on qualified care.

Los puntos cuánticos de carbono, poseen propiedades ópticas y electrónicas atractivas para diferentes aplicaciones, por ejemplo, en marcadores biológicos, iluminación y celdas solares. En el presente estudio se reporta la síntesis de estos puntos cuánticos mediante carbonización directa de tomate y su caracterización utilizando microscopía electrónica de barrido, dispersión de energías de rayos X y espectroscopia óptica. Las imágenes de microscopía electrónica de barrido muestran tamaños de puntos cuánticos entre 20 nm y 60 nm. En los espectros de absorción se ha observado una banda predominante a 275 nm atribuida a transiciones asociadas con grupos funcionales y transiciones π-π* de los enlaces C=C y n-π* de los enlaces C=O. Por otra parte, en los espectros de fotoluminiscencia se observaron al menos cuatro bandas, con máximos alrededor de 650 nm, 580 nm, 560 nm y 500 nm. Esta emisión multibanda podría asociarse, preliminarmente, a transiciones de trazas de silicio, azufre y potasio que se han observado por dispersión de energías de rayos X en las diferentes muestras.

Authors: Citadin Lays , Carvalho Miranda Caroline , Celestino Shigeoka Eloisa , Arias Fernandes Karol , Sandra Luft Paladino
Published: September 2023

Introdução: As diferentes faces da violência obstétrica estão estampadas cada vez mais na sociedade dita moderna e, ainda assim, tanto o conhecimento acadêmico como aquele da parte das gestantes são escassos. Em vista disso, uma equipe de alunas desenvolveu o Simpósio de Violência Obstétrica com o objetivo de estimular o combate e informar a comunidade da área da saúde sobre a problemática.
Relato: O grupo de alunos foi dividido para planejamento do evento e na realização, a participação de profissionais que compartilharam seus conhecimentos sobre violência obstétrica foi enriquecedora em todos os aspectos.
Discussão: A violência obstétrica parte de falhas durante todo o processo que envolve sistemas de saúde, a gestante e o bebê. Ao longo das décadas, as mulheres foram cada vez mais submetidas à medicalização do corpo feminino e impostas ao uso abusivo de intervenções desnecessárias durante a gravidez e o parto. Ademais, muitas dessas intervenções não são reconhecidas como abuso e desrespeito pela equipe médica, de modo que a integridade da paciente em um momento tão delicado não é garantida.  Para assegurar que tal violência não ocorra, o acesso a informações dos direitos e vontades da gestante são imprescindíveis, sendo de suma importância o conhecimento deles tanto por parte da equipe médica, quanto pela gestante. Ainda, cabe dizer que as limitações da pandemia do COVID-19 fizeram com que o encontro fosse realizado online.
Conclusão: A realização do Simpósio de Violência Obstétrica permitiu debates entre palestrantes de diferentes regiões do Brasil e participantes do simpósio, proporcionando o aprendizado de identificação da violência obstétrica e como evitá-la, assegurando a dignidade da gestante em todos os âmbitos. A efetivação do projeto foi benéfica para a sociedade e essencial no processo da educação médica, garantindo o conhecimento dos direitos das gestantes, a judicialização da violência obstétrica e a promoção da humanização no âmbito da saúde.

In the era of globalization and increasingly advanced information technology, education faces challenges in maintaining students' moral quality and local culture. Globalization has negative impacts, such as addiction to online shows and games and losing traditional local wisdom values. The digital generation phenomenon also affects students' character with declining manners, moral decadence, and weak socio-cultural value education. Therefore, education needs to reconstruct educational learning processes by the basic principles of proper education. Teachers are essential in developing education through the cultural and technological advances that form in society. In addition, as parents, it is crucial to introduce good technology to students by understanding their needs, installing applications that support creativity, and limiting excessive consumption. Character education based on local wisdom is strategic in building student character. Teachers can choose curriculum components developed in learning modules. Character education based on local knowledge can help prevent students’ characters from falling into the adverse effects of globalization.
Employee-resourcing strategies in family-owned small restaurants in South Africa: Do environmental influences matter?

The small restaurant business (SRB) sector is applauded for promoting economic growth and employment creation in developing economies. Despite the spirited efforts by developing nations to capacitate the sector to sustainably contribute to economic growth, it is often flawed by a high inflation failure rate, especially in South Africa. The failure rates have been attributed, among many other factors, to the inability of small restaurant businesses to respond to environmental uncertainties with appropriate employee-resourcing strategies. The literature search shows that there is a dearth of research on the nexus between environmental influences and employee-resourcing strategies in South African small restaurant businesses. To address this gap, the study attempts to interrogate employee-resourcing strategies among family-owned small restaurants through the prism of environmental influences. A quantitative research approach was used, and the ex post facto research design was adopted. A convenient sample of 221 owners/managers of family-owned accommodations and Small Restaurant Businesses was conveniently selected. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was employed to confirm the congruence between observed and reproduced data in testing the hypothesized relationships. The inquiry established a positive relationship between internal environmental influences and employee-resourcing strategies in SRBs. Additionally, a positive and strong relationship between the external environment and employee-resourcing strategies was also established. Considering the vitality of small businesses in driving today’s economies and employment growth, this study recommends that owners/managers identify internal and external forces that attenuate small business failures. The study also emphasizes that SRBs must understand their external and internal environments for more productive employee-resourcing strategies.

Published: September 2023

A nursery study was conducted in College of Forestry, Kerala Agricultural University, Vellanikkara to find out the effect of potting media containing different types of waste materials like garbage and coir dust on establishment, growth and vigour of seedlings of Terminalia paniculata Roth. The seedlings raised in potting media T1 (Soil: sand: cowdung), T5 (Soil: fresh garbage: cowdung) and T12 (Soil: coirdust: cowdung) recorded 100 per cent success with regard to both initial establishment after one week of planting and final survival after eight months. In most of the treatments, the initial establishment was found to be good. The initial establishment and survival were very poor when fresh garbage alone was used as a planting medium. With regard to growth and vigour in terms of shoot and root growth parameters and other physiological attributes, potting mixtures of soil and cowdung with four weeks decomposed garbage were found to be most promising. Growth and vigour was generally found to be less when seedlings were grown in coirdust. The relative growth rate and other physiological attributes were also found to be less for this treatment. Generally, the chlorophyll A content was found to be slightly higher when compared to chlorophyll B. Stomatal distribution did not show a specific pattern with regard to treatments. Nutrient uptake particularly nitrogen was found to be more when cowdung and partially decomposed garbage were used as components of potting media. However, the potting media did not affect the uptake of potassium and phosphorus.

An experiment on evaluation of germplasm of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) for quality parameters was carried out in the Department of Spices and Plantation Crops, Horticultural College & Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, during the year 2001-2002. Total 224 genotypes available in the Department were chosen for the study. Among the different genotypes studied, Acc. No. 156 has recorded the highest curcumin content (6.23%). Similar to the curcumin content, the oleoresin content for the different genotypes studied has been found to have significant difference. However, the essential oil content has not been found to have any significant difference among the different genotypes studied for the experimental purpose.
Family Cultural Capital Influence on Educational Expectations and Class Differences
Authors: Yang Muyi
Published: September 2023

This paper explores the impact of cultural capital on family educational expectations based on data from the CFPS(China Family Panel Studies). After controlling for control variables such as gender and household registration, it was found that: objectified cultural capital, institutionalized cultural capital and embodied cultural capital all have a significant positive effect on family educational expectations. In addition, there is no significant class difference in the effect of cultural capital on family educational aspirations, but objective and specific cultural capital have a more significant effect on the educational aspirations of the upper class than those of the lower class, and objective and specific cultural capital are more influential within the upper class. In the context of education for upward class mobility, identifying the cultural capital shortcomings of the disadvantaged class that are inferior to those of the upper class and enhancing the educational expectations of families are key to promoting class mobility. Therefore, families, schools and society need to provide support in many ways to compensate for the cultural capital disadvantage of families.
US-China Geopolitical Competition on Natural Gas: Conflicts and Opportunities
Authors: Feng Ji
Published: September 2023

China and the United States are the world biggest energy consumers. In the past few years, the two countries are taking moves to upgrade their energy structure and securing controls on more energy sources, especially on natural gas, which is becoming increasingly important with strategic significance. In December 2022, China has just signed a mega deal with Qatar for a $60 billion, 27-year purchase of liquefied natural gas (LNG). This is full of geopolitical and economic implications, and may have a long-lasting influence over the US-China competition in the Middle East. Therefore, the paper will mainly explore the major concerns of the United States about Chinas growing demand for natural gas and how the US will respond to the challenges posed by China on this issue. By adopting a case study on US-China competition for natural gas in the Middle East, the paper intends to shed some light on the potential conflict between the two major countries on natural gas and explain its cause from the US perspective. And by doing case study, the paper concludes that the US is not particularly worrying Chinas increasing natural gas demand from other countries, the two countries can work together to help maintain the stability of the world LNG market.
Legal Protection for the Rights of Persons with Disability in International Law
Authors: Zheng Huiwen
Published: September 2023

The introduction of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) sets up the starting point for the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities in the International Human Rights Law (IHRL) system. Nevertheless, as the largest definable disadvantaged group on the planet, quandaries still exist for States and the public sector in general to eliminate the discrimination and invasion of disability rights in society. Currently, even though there has been significant progress in recognizing and protecting disabled peoples rights, discrimination, access to justice and legal remedies, and the ineffective application of international treaties are still common phenomena in various social aspects. This paper aims to analyze the problems and weaknesses in the current international disability law and propose recommendations to strengthen the protection of disability rights both in peacetime and during armed conflict pursuant to International Humanitarian Law(IHL). In addition, this paper will further examine several state practices even though many nations have established policies and measures to protect disability rights, potentials for further improvement remain, such as the enactment and monitoring of comprehensive disability rights legislation as well as the popularization of knowledge. To achieve the ideal result, governments, civil society groups, individuals, and the international community shall actively cooperate to effectively safeguard the rights of persons with disabilities, proposing initiatives founded on a thorough and inclusive knowledge of disability rights, dedication to eradicating prejudice, advancing equality of opportunity, and ensuring that everyone has access to the justice and remedies.

Published: September 2023

The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic is prevailing across many countries where millions of people are affected. In response to the current situation, many countries launch prevention measures, such as quarantine or social distancing, that aim to curb the COVID-19 spread. However, physical isolation can lead to serious mental health problems for many people, especially children who are still learning how to recognize and control emotions. Therefore, it is vital to provide productive psychological interventions for these individuals who are in demand of psychological aids. After searching and analysing past papers, positive psychology, a perspective emerging from 21st century, is worth academic attention when tackling mental health problems induced by acute stress. This literature review will thus mainly talk about the theory of positive psychology along with its application in clinical fields and suggest that it can be adopted as a promising intervention for helping university students with respect of improving well-being in the face of COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.
