Background: Androgen deficiency is the most common disorder of reproductive function and can lead to male sexual disorders.
Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the androgenic effects of Pycnanthus angolensis (Welw.) Warb in hemicastrated rats.
Materials and methods: Forty-two male rats were divided into 6 groups of 7 rats each, including a group of uncastrated rats that received distilled water (10 ml/kg); a group of castrated rats that received 10 ml/kg of distilled water; a group of castrated rats that received testosterone enanthate (3 mg/kg BW) per week intramuscularly; and 3 groups of castrated rats that received 43, 86 and 172 mg/kg of the aqueous extract of Pycnanthus angolensis, respectively. After 14 days of oral treatment, the rats were killed by decapitation. The blood was collected and the androgen-dependent organs were collected for histological sectioning, and biochemical analysis. The tail of the epididymis was used to assess sperm quality.
Results: Treatment with the aqueous extract at doses of 43 and 86 mg/kg, significantly improved the sexual behavior of castrated rats, with increases of 25.92% and 22.74% intromissions frequency, and 67.06% and 56.46% mount frequency, compared to those in the castrated rats which did not receive any treatment. The extract also enhanced sperm quality in castrated rats. Both doses also significantly increased serum testosterone levels with rates of 45.07% and 49.00%, respectively; compared to those in the negative control group.
Conclusion: In view of the aforesaid results, Pycnanthus angolensis (Welw.) Warb could be considered as a promising natural agent in hypogonadism management.

Predicting future inflation in Indonesia using Dynamic Model Averaging (DMA)
Authors: Sari Shania Puspita , Ginanjar Irlandia , Noviyanti Lienda
Published: July 2024

The features of Indonesia's inflation data, which make it extremely susceptible to shocks like those felt in 2005 and 2008, as well as extensive potential influencing factors, lead to problems in forecasting inflation. These problems include time variation in coefficients, models that can change over time, and many predictors to consider. Dynamic Model Averaging (DMA) solves these problems since it has evolved coefficients and models that change over time. This study uses DMA to predict future inflation by involving eight macroeconomic indicators as exogenous variables. The results of the in-sample analysis show that six predictors are significant in forecasting inflation, with posterior inclusion probability (PIP) being above 40%. Although the remaining predictors have PIP means below 40%, they can still be considered important. The out-of-sample results suggest that DMA performs better than dynamic model selection and models that don’t include exogenous variables, such as autoregressive models. The forecast results indicate a consistent pattern over the 12 months studied. The attempt to control inflation can be achieved by prioritizing the money supply factor, which has the highest PIP value, indicating that it is the most important factor.

Further Discussion on the Image of “Zhu Ke” in Mori Ōgai’s Kantō Nichijō in Connection with Ozaki Yukio’s Taikyo Nichiroku
Authors: LIU Xiaoxia
Published: July 2024

The four Chinese poems written by Mori Ōgai to Ozaki Yukio in Kantō Nichijō follow the typical poetic structure of “opening, developing, transition and concluding”. The poem “Xiao Quan” serves as a connecting link between the preceding and the following in terms of poetic meaning. Ōgai used the metaphor of “Xiao Quan” to insinuate the Meiji government at that time, while distancing himself from the political pursuit of radical liberal rights advocates embodied in the word of “Huai”. In Kantō Nichijō and Taikyo Nichiroku, it can be seen that as a member of the government bureaucracy, the misalignment between the reality of his identity position and his inner reflection produces an ideology of “Zhu Ke” in the political sense. And the image of “Zhu Ke” is not the color of “Brave man” or “Hero” in Taikyo Nichiroku, nor does it go towards the extreme image of passivity or resistance. But on the basis of resonating with the politically excluded literati genealogy in the context of Chinese poetry, it is a contradictory image that not only criticizes the policies of the Meiji government, but also is detached from the antigovernment political stance.
The impact of emigration on population decline in Croatia
Authors: Graovac-Matassi Vera
Published: July 2024

In the last thirty years, the countries of south-eastern and eastern Europe have experienced significant population decline, and Croatia is no exception to that. This paper revisits the problem of depopulation in Croatia in the last two intercensal periods (2001?2011 and 2011?2021). The aim was to analyze the impact of emigration on depopulation in Croatia and investigate whether it had a greater impact on depopulation than natural decrease. Additionally, the aim was to investigate whether the number of emigrants was underreported in the official statistics. The results show that Croatia lost more population due to negative net migration than the official statistical data indicate. Recent migrations in Croatia did not only affect the population decline, but also age composition of the population, particularly in the last intercensal period due to emigration of families with children and population in their working and reproductive ages, as they composed a large proportion of emigrants. The paper provides an elaborate insight into the recent migration patterns in Croatia while highlighting the underestimation of the proportions of emigration from Croatia by the official statistics.
Regulation of AMPK and GAPDH by Transglutaminase 2 Plays a Pivotal Role in Microvascular Leakage in Diabetic Retinas
Authors: Jeon Hye-Yoon , Lee Ah-Jun , Moon Chan-Hee , Ha Kwon-Soo
Published: July 2024

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common microvascular complication caused by chronic hyperglycemia and is a leading cause of blindness; however, the underlying molecular mechanism has not been clearly elucidated. Therefore, we investigated whether regulation of AMPK and GAPDH by transglutaminase 2 (TGase2) is important for hyperglycemia-induced microvascular leakage in the diabetic retina. In human retinal endothelial cells (HRECs) and diabetic mouse retinas, we found that TGase2, activated by sequential elevation of intracellular Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, played an essential role in hyperglycemia-induced vascular leakage. ROS generation and TGsae2 activation were involved in hyperglycemia-induced AMPK dephosphorylation, which resulted in vascular endothelial–cadherin (VE-cadherin) disassembly and increased fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran extravasation. Furthermore, high glucose–induced TGase2 activation suppressed GAPDH activity, determined by an on-chip activity assay, through inhibition of AMPK, which induced VE-cadherin disassembly and endothelial permeability in HRECs. Overall, our findings suggest that inhibition of AMPK and GAPDH by TGase2 plays a pivotal role in hyperglycemia-induced microvascular leakage in the retinas of diabetic mice.

Authors: Tirta Maria , Hjorth Mette Holm , Jepsen Jette Frost , Kold Søren , Rahbek Ole
Published: July 2024

Background and purpose: The primary aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the success rate of 3 different epiphysiodesis techniques with implant usage for the treatment of leg-length discrepancy (LLD) in the pediatric population. The secondary aim was to address effectiveness (final LLD) and the reported complications of staples, tension-band plates (TBP), and percutaneous epiphysiodesis screws (PETS).Methods: In this systematic review we searched MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus for studies on skeletally immature patients with LLD treated with epiphysiodesis with an implant. The extracted outcome categories were effectiveness of epiphysiodesis (LLD measurements pre-/postoperatively, successful/unsuccessful) and complications that were graded on severity.Results: 44 studies (2,184 patients) were included. 455 underwent epiphysiodesis with PETS, 578 patients with TBP, and 1,048 with staples. Successful epiphysiodesis was reported in 76% (95% confidence interval [CI] 61–89) with PETS (9 studies), 67% (CI 54–79) with TBP (10 studies), and 51% (CI 28–65) with Blount staples (8 studies). From pooled analysis, the severe complications rate was 7% for PETS, 17% for TBP, and 16% for Blount staples. Angular deformity was reported in 4% after PETS, 10% after TBP, and 17% after Blount staples.Conclusion: Our results showed that epiphysiodesis with PETS implants was the most successful technique. PETS had a higher success rate, fewer severe complications, and a lower proportion with angular deformity.
Discontinuing the recommendation of hip precautions does not increase the risk of early dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty using 36-mm heads: a population-based study from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register
Authors: Iljazi Afrim , Sørensen Michala Skovlund , Winther-Jensen Matilde , Overgaard Søren , Petersen Michael Mørk
Published: July 2024

Background and purpose: Dislocation is a severe complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Hip precautions have been recommended in the initial postoperative period but evidence supporting this practice is limited. We therefore conducted a population-based study to evaluate the association between discontinuing recommending postoperative hip precautions and the risk of early dislocation.Methods: This is a cohort study with data from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register and the Danish National Patient Register. We included patients who underwent primary THA for osteoarthritis in 2004–2019 in public hospitals in the Capital Region of Denmark. The cohort was divided into the hip precautions group, comprising patients operated on between 2004 and 2009, and the no-precautions group operated on between 2014 and 2019. The primary outcome was the difference in the absolute risk of dislocation within 3 months post-surgery. The secondary outcome assessed the same risk within 2 years. We evaluated the difference in absolute risk using absolute risk regression (ARR).Results: The cumulative incidence of dislocation within 3 months was 2.9% (confidence interval [CI] 2.5–3.3) in the hip precautions group and 3.5% (CI 3.1–3.9) in the no-precautions group. The risk of dislocation was higher in the no-precautions group but failed to reach statistical significance in the crude (ARR 1.2, CI 0.9–1.6) and multivariate model (ARR 1.4, CI 0.9–2.2).Conclusion: We found a higher but statistically insignificant increase in the risk of early dislocation in the no-precautions group. The lack of significance in the association may be explained by the increased use of 36-mm femoral heads after the guideline revision.

A fotografia, como metáfora da construção de imagens, constitui um dos nós estruturantes do campo do visível e de sua opacidade na poesia de Herberto Helder. A partir de seus livros Retrato em movimento (1967), Kodak (1968) e do poema “Retratíssimo ou narração / de um homem depois de maio” (1962), será investigada a articulação entre fotografia e poesia em Herberto Helder, explicitando-se o enlaçamento entre imagens fixas e palavras móveis. A fotografia será pensada como metáfora produtora do poema, dando a ver o que se dissipa em imagem. Teorias da fotografia e da imagem, de Derrida, Barthes e Blanchot, serão aproximadas aos poemas de Helder, a fim de verificar a reformulação do pensamento da imagem fotográfica em poesia. Por fim, serão delimitadas as categorias de visibilidade e opacidade, por meio das quais se estrutura um jogo entre presença e ausência, fazendo lembrar que “A beleza é cega e afastada” (Helder, 1973).
Ouroboros

Published: July 2024

O ensaio investiga a relação entre o ouroboros, imagem alquímica, e a poesia de Herberto Helder, em Cobra (1977), destacando a influência da percepção do mundo e das conexões filosóficas interartísticas. Primeiramente, far-se-á uso de estudos alquímicos para entender o ouroboros, como transmutação, conjugação de opostos, prima materia e pedra filosofal, gesto aufecundador, autofágico e autopoiético. Em seguida, persegue-se o rasto do ouroboros no texto de Helder, indagando como essa imagem opera a linguagem poética e como esta expande a significação da figura ourobórica. A intersecção entre poesia, imagem e alquimia explora como o texto organiza elementos linguísticos e visuais de força transformadora, reunindo matérias tão diversas. O ensaio conclui que a escrita é fértil na associação com imagens alquímicas, criando uma nova textura de significado, promovendo uma reflexão sobre a natureza da criação artística e filosófica, enfatizando a constante transmutação da matéria e a interconexão entre diferentes formas de expressão.

Published: July 2024

This research investigates the effectiveness of using Google Sites in improving high school students' mastery of physics concepts. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research subjects consisted of two classes: the experimental class, which used Google Sites, and the control class, which used conventional methods. Data was collected through concept mastery tests given before and after treatment. The research results showed that the experimental class's average posttest mastery of concepts was higher than in the control class. The independent t-test indicated a significant difference in the pretest-posttest difference between the two classes. The n-gain calculation shows that the experimental class is quite effective, while the control class is in the ineffective category. This research concludes that using Google Sites in physics learning effectively increases students' mastery of concepts. It is recommended that these media be optimized in the learning process by providing tutorials on using them before learning begins and preparing practical tools and materials well. Optimizing Google Sites can support a more effective and efficient learning process and significantly improve student learning outcomes.

The type of research used is qualitative with an analytical-descriptive method. The research instrument is the researcher himself and is assisted by supporting instruments such as stationery and cameras. The data in this study used primary and secondary data. Data collection techniques are carried out by means of literature study, observation, interviews, and documentation. The steps of analyzing data are data reduction, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the form of inheritance of Benten Dance in Kampung Laban Kanagarian Salido District IV Jurai South Pesisir Regency uses a closed and open inheritance system. The closed inheritance system is carried out by passing on to descendants who have blood relations with the inheritors of Benten dance only. The open inheritance system is carried out by teaching directly to the community either individually or in groups who want to learn benten dance, but must fulfill several predetermined conditions. The weakness of the closed system is that the inheritors of this dance will decrease so that in the long run it could be that this Benten dance will disappear or become extinct. Open inheritance is carried out so that this dance can be preserved in the community and people who learn this Benten Dance really get knowledge and can benefit themselves and others. With the changes that occur in the Benten Dance inheritance system from a closed inheritance system to an open inheritance system, this Benten Dance can still have heirs and can be learned by anyone, both people in Laban Village and people outside Laban Village.
