A hipótese do átomo primordial de Georges Lemaître
Authors: Falciano Felipe Tovar , Fabris Júlio César
Published: September 2023

Georges Lemaître é uma figura singular com contribuições importantes à física e à cosmologia do século XX. Um dos pioneiros na elaboração do cenário do universo primordial, Lemaître foi alegadamente o primeiro a interpretar com profundidade o significado físico dos resultados observacionais da equipe de Hubble sobre a conexão entre o desvio para o vermelho das galáxias vizinhas e a expansão do universo. Aqui apresentamos a tradução do texto publicado por Lemaître em 1949 onde ele expõe de forma completa a ideia que o universo surge da desintegração de um "átomo primitivo". Valendo-se das características dos processos radiativos, Lemaître desenvolve uma visão ampla sobre os processos físicos no universo primordial que guarda semelhanças interessantes com o que hoje se consolidou como o modelo padrão da cosmologia.

An architectural query of Anthropocene Era: Planned obsolescence
Authors: AYDIN H.gül , BİRER Emel
Published: September 2023

After Modernity, the human has become the subject, and the world redefined by the human has turned into a painting. However, the efforts of human subjectivity to reveal the world in the Anthropocene Era, with negative practices such as the “planned obsolescence theory,” which is the research subject, even prepares for the end of its existence. According to the research hypothesis evaluated through the theory’s effect on architectural problems, “secular- ization should take place against planned obsolete architecture.” The research aims to show that positive feedback can be provided in society and ecology by reversing architectural consump- tion. It is to open up for discussion that architecture, which is left in the tension of life and death but revived by the urbanites and nature despite the negativity of decay, can be sustained by becoming secularized. How planned obsolete architectures become secularized is revealed through visual documents and tables and discourse and descriptive analysis methods through architectures of different scales and geographies, which can be reactivated in human-nature activity while in crisis of decay. At the micro and macro scale of architecture, Hawthorne Plaza Shopping Center, Banker Han (Banker Kastelli), Doel Village, and Houtouwan Village were selected as purposeful examples.
The Spatial Meaning of Jeju Island to Photographer Kim Young-Gap - Focusing on His Autobiographical Essay Collections, 『Fascinated by the Island, Obsessed by the Film』and『It was I that was in the Island』–
Authors:   Society for Jeju Studies, Jeong Si-Youl
Published: September 2023

This study examines the spatial meaning of Jeju Island which is projected in
Photographer Kim Young-Gap’s autobiographical essay collections, Fascinated by the
Island, Obsessed by the Film(1996) and It was I that was in the island(2004). Kim
Young-Gap was born in Buyeo, Chungcheongnam-do in 1957 and settled in Jeju Island
in 1985 after coming in and out of the island frequently from 1982. And 20 years later,
on May 29, 2005, he ended his six-year struggle with Lou Gehrig’s disease and passed
away in gallery Dumoak he had founded. Published in 1996, 10 years after entering the
island, Fascinated by the Island, Obsessed by the Film is a book that contains the
reason for entering the island and his early life in there. It was written as the
intermediate examination over his Jeju life. Published in 2004, a year before his death,
It was I that was in the island is a book written in anticipation of his own end. It can
be said to be the last summary of his 20 years in Jeju. Jeju Island was more than a
place for photography for Kim Young-Gap. Jeju Island served as various spaces for him
until he established himself as the existence of ‘Dumoak’ that means Mt. Halla in his
status as a stranger, not a native. This article considers the spatial meaning of Jeju
Island for Kim Young-Gap in three aspects: ‘communication and healing’, ‘cutting
connections and cultivation’, and ‘self-fulfilling prophecy and rest’.

tourists' evaluation of Seongeup Folk Village through review analysis of TripAdvisor, a
travel platform. As a result of network analysis, tourists who selected 1 or 2 stars
wrote reviews focusing on forcing, selling, and soliciting products sold in Seongeup Folk
Village, and tourists who selected 3 or 4 stars wrote reviews focusing on sales of
products and local guides. Tourists who selected 5 stars wrote reviews focusing on the
contents of the local guide. As a result of sentiment analysis, the higher the star rating,
the higher the frequency of using positive words about Seongeup Folk Village. On the
contrary, among the negative words, the words of the rejection category were used
frequently, and in detail, 'terrible', 'bad', and 'uninteresting' appeared with high frequency.
Through the analysis of tourist reviews, the strength of Seongeup Folk Village is the
local guide system, and the weakness is sales of products and solicitation. Therefore,
this study recognizes these points in the future, maximizes strengths, and minimizes
weaknesses. It is considered that it can be used as basic data.
Content IP Strategy for Jeju Regional Branding IP Strategy Research for ‘Seolmundaehalmang’
Authors:   Society for Jeju Studies, Jeon Yun-Kyung
Published: September 2023

In the past, Jeju Island has tried to utilize the character of the island's representative
tale, 'Seolmuundaehalmang', in cultural contents such as animation and theme parks.
Academics have also conducted research on the need for cultural planning utilizing
'Seolmundaehalmang'. Despite these efforts, 'Seolmundaehalmang' has yet to be
recognized by the public as icon of Jeju. In this paper, we examine a content IP strategy
for branding the Jeju Island with the character of 'Seolmundaehalmang'.ﾠ To this end,
this paper first discusses the importance of content IP and the necessary elements of a
strategy. Based on this, the paper then analyzes cases that have been utilized as content
and compares them with successful Japanese cases of utilizing cultural archetypes as
content IP. Finally, through the results of this analysis, the paper reveals a strategy for
utilizing Jeju Island's 'Seolmundaehalmang' as content IP.
The paper's results show that a strategy for to utilizing 'Seolmundaehalmang' as a
content IP first requires the expansion of the scope of 'Seolmundaehalmang' content
creation by having it engaged in a wide range of contents such as Jeju Island's 'myths',
'legends', 'history', and 'fairy tales' in a flexible manner. Second, the image and
characterization of 'Seolmundaehalmang' should be refined by incorporating history,
mythology, and each creator's own philosophy. By doing so, they expand its limited role.
Third, we must strengthen and utilize the material, setting, and world view of the work,
which are embodied in the concept of 'Seolmundaehalmang'.

Authors:   Society for Jeju Studies, Koh Jung-Goon , Kim Jong-Gab , Han Seung-Pil , Kim Kwon-Su
Published: September 2023

This study investigated the change in understory plant distribution to find out the
effect of cedar(Cryptomeria japonica) thinning on the diversity of plant species in the
Geomunoreum of J e ju Island, the purpose of which was to restore natural vegetation.
The vascular plants identified in the thinned plantations for 5 years from 2018 were a
total of 95 taxa including 51 families, 79 genera, 86 species, 1 subspecies and 8
variants. This showed a higher number of species compared to 52 taxa in the unthinned
plantations and 67 taxa in the natural forest stand. The floristic target plants were
identified: 25 taxa in the thinned plantations, 14 taxa in the unthinned plantations, and
25 taxa in the natural forest. For 4 years after 2018, an increase of 40 species in the
thinned plantations showed the highest rate of increase, followed by natural forests with
33 species and unthinned plantations with 23 species. The species richness increased in
both thinned and unthinned plantations, 3.16 and 1.10 respectively which is lower than
4.11 in natural forests. The species diversity with an elapsed time of 6 years after
thinning rose 3.64 in the thinned plantations, 3.42 in the natural forest and 3.21 in the
unthinned plantations. The growth of diameter of the breast height was higher than that
in the unthinned plantations. It is considered that the diversity of plant species in the
thinned plantations around Geomunoreum is changing similarly to the surrounding natural
forest as the number and population of newly emerging plant species increase.

Published: September 2023

En la Amazonía ecuatoriana, la contaminación, el aumento del tráfico fluvial y las capturas afectan a las poblaciones de delfines rosados. La mayoría de estudios de esta especie proceden del nororiente del país, mientras que se desconoce su situación actual en la Amazonía central. Este trabajo proporciona nuevos datos sobre las poblaciones de delfines rosados localizadas al sur del Parque Nacional Yasuní, a partir del conocimiento etnobiológico del Pueblo Kichwa de Kawsak Sacha. Treinta y tres personas de seis comunidades kichwas proporcionaron datos inéditos sobre el delfin rosado, incluyendo nombres locales, tamaño de los grupos observados, dieta, sus valores y las amenazas existentes a partir de entrevistas realizadas en el año 2021. Al sur del Parque Nacional Yasuní, los delfines son avistados con frecuencia (uno a cinco ejemplares por avistamiento) en los ríos Curaray y Pintoyacu, en las bocanas de ríos secundarios y algunas lagunas. Los entrevistados tienen una percepción positiva hacia la presencia de estos cetáceos en sus comunidades y reconocen distintos valores, considerándolos como indicadores de buena calidad ecosistémica, espíritus tutelares y de importancia potencial para el turismo.  Si bien, desde el año 2005 la especie está protegida en este territorio kichwa y nunca ha sido cazada, hay reportes ocasionales de caza por parte de pescadores extranjeros en la zona limítrofe de los ríos Curaray y Pintoyacu. De igual forma, la reducción de ciertas especies de peces, identificadas como las principales presas del delfín rosado en la zona por los entrevistados, son dos amenazas graves que pueden comprometer la conservación futura de esta especie.

A farinha constitui um dos principais produtos derivados da mandioca, muito consumida em todo o país e principalmente na região Norte e Nordeste, obtida de modo artesanal, em unidades de processamento rudimentares chamadas “Casas de Farinha” o que possibilita a esse produto uma exposição a diversos tipos de contaminações durante o processo de fabricação e armazenamento.  O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade de farinhas de mandioca produzidas no município de Castanhal e Santa Izabel do Pará, os dois no Estado do Pará, Brasil. Amostras de farinha de mandioca e tapioca foram obtidas e submetidas a contagem de coliformes, bolores e leveduras e determinação de matérias estranhas a nível macro e microscópicos. Nas análises para coliformes, as amostras apresentaram valores variando de <3,0 a 93 NMP/g. Os valores obtidos na contagem de bolores e leveduras variaram de <1,0 x 101 UFC/g. As amostras apresentaram sujidades, pedras, fragmentos de madeira e matérias estranhas não identificadas. As amostras de farinha de mandioca e tapioca analisadas encontram-se fora dos padrões de consumo humano, o que mostra uma falta de cuidado na produção, processamento e manipulação, comprometendo assim a saúde do consumidor.

Indiscriminate manure disposal has been highlighted as a significant cause of environmental contamination due to the presence of various biological and chemical irritants. It includes pathogens, antibiotics, and organic pollutants, all of which have the potential to harm not only the environment but also human health. Several incidents have been reported, most notably among farmers and those living near the farms, as a result of air and water pollution caused by manure losses. Acute and chronic exposure to these hazards may result in a variety of health issues, including infection, inflammation, and even cancer. Despite this, humans are constantly exposed to these risk agents due to a lack of awareness of proper disposal methods and knowledge of the risk agents’ associations with diseases. Thus, the review discusses the potential health risk or diseases linked to poultry manure and recommends future measures to minimise the hazards to farmers’ health and the environment posed by their existing practices.

The Effect of Conventional and Nanoformulation Herbicide on Sphagneticola Trilobata
Authors: Hasrin Nur Syahiidah Aqilah , Shah Nor’aishah Abu , Dzulkifli Nur Nadia , Fatimah Is , Sheikh Mohd Ghazali Sheikh Ahmad Izaddin
Published: September 2023

The conventional herbicide 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) provide substantial risk to the environment such as contamination of soil and groundwater. The overuse application of conventional herbicide can leave harmful residues in soil and be washed off as runoff, thus causes toxic effect to nontarget organism. For instance, MCPA can cause toxicity to the freshwater organisms such as Daphnia magna and alga Selenastrum capricornutum. Zinc oxide as nanomaterials that are intercalated with 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (ZMCPA) herbicide may be useful to resolve the problems associated with MCPA. Nanoherbicide are known to provide a better penetration of active substances hence reduces the amount of herbicide to be applied. The nanostructured herbicide such as ZMCPA could substantially replace the conventional herbicide MCPA if it able to kill the targeted weeds efficiently and have a low risk to the environment. Therefore, it is important to compare the differences of herbicidal activity of MCPA and ZMCPA. The objective of this research is to determine the effects of MCPA and ZMCPA on growth and pigment content of Sphagneticola trilobata. The 2nd objective of this research is to measure the physiological effect and effectiveness of herbicidal activity between the conventional and nanoformulation against Sphagneticola trilobata. The preliminary study was conducted to determine a minimal concentration for MCPA to exert its effect on Sphagneticola trilobata. Then, in the main research, Sphagneticola trilobata was exposed to different concentrations of MCPA and ZMCPA in low, medium and high concentrations. The effect of MCPA and ZMCPA on growth and pigment content of Sphagneticola trilobata was observed at 7, 14 and 21 days, respectively. The results indicated there were no obvious differences in plant growth and pigment content observed between treatment of MCPA and ZMCPA at the same exposure concentration at 7, 14 and 21 days, respectively. MCPA showed higher herbicide efficacy than ZMCPA.
HIGHLIGHTS

Nanoherbicide Development: The intercalation of zinc layered hydroxide (ZLH) with MCPA resulted in ZMCPA, a nanoherbicide with improved delivery and penetration capabilities compared to conventional herbicides.
Potential Replacement for Conventional Herbicides: Nanostructured herbicides like ZMCPA have the potential to replace conventional herbicides like MCPA due to their numerous benefits in addressing issues associated with traditional herbicides.
Comparable Herbicidal Effectiveness: The study evaluated the herbicidal activity of MCPA and ZMCPA on Sphagneticola trilobata and found that both formulations inhibited the growth of the weed to a similar extent after 7, 14, and 21 days, indicating comparable efficacy between the conventional and nanoformulation herbicides.

Published: September 2023

Sang Yod Phatthalung rice is indica rice and grown as Geographical Indications (GI) in Patthalung province. Its dark red color seed contains high antioxidant activity that helps reduction in the risk of some chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. So far, yield per planting area of this rice is still low. Thus, application of PGRs might play an alternative role in agronomical and physiological characteristics leading to improving yield of this rice. First, shoot tips of Sang Yod Phatthalung rice were cultured to induce multiple shoots and root on liquified PGR-free oil palm culture medium (OPCM) with different concentrations of 6-benzyladenine (BA) (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 mg/L) alone or in combination with 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) (0 and 0.5 mg/L). Complete plants were acclimatized to field condition at Phatthalung Rice Research Station (PRRS). After acclimatization for 120 and 140 days, some agronomical and physiological characteristics of rice plant obtained from different PGR containing OPCM were statistically compared.  A 2×4 factorial design in RCBD with 4 replication was performed. The results were clearly demonstrated that adding BA in the culture medium increase plant height, number of panicles, panicle length and leaf chlorophyll content. Plantlets obtained from in vitro culturing shoot tip on 0.5 mg/L BA containing medium gave the highest results in average plant height at 189.50 cm, number of panicles at 34.00 panicles, panicle length at 32.50 cm and leaf chlorophyll content at 39.65 SPAD unit. The results from this present study indicated the production of new plant types or characteristics for Sang Yod Phatthalung rice for high yield in future.
HIGHLIGHTS

The effect of concentrations of PGRs, and culture conditions on agronomical and physiological characteristic were evaluated
5 mg/L BA-derived plants germinated in vitro gave higher results than ex vitro in agronomical and physiological characteristic
Addition of 0.5 mg/L BA in the medium increases the plant height, number of panicles, panicle length and leaf chlorophyll content
5 mg/L BA-derived plants in vitro gave the highest plant height, number of panicles, panicle length, and leaf chlorophyll content at 189.50 cm, 34.00 panicles, 32.50 cm, and 39.65 SPAD units, respectively

Published: September 2023

The existence of wildfires has been present since before humans, eventually, humans learned to control it. Today, fire is used for light, warmth, hunting, gathering, agriculture, energy, and so on. Fire has led to the evolution of flora and fauna of the world and the development of human society. Fire is both a natural and manmade disaster that causes a significant threat to life, property in residential, urban, rural areas, as well as industrial areas and the environment. Impacts of fire can be social, economic, and environmental, such as demolishing wildlife habitat, watershed and water supply damages, damage to property such as public recreation facilities, trails, campgrounds, and signs that affect tourists, destruction of timber, degraded air quality, and smoke-related illnesses. Fires when not controlled become disasters that should be addressed. This is done through disaster management, which can be summarized through the disaster management cycle that includes mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Disaster management of fire should be carried out in accordance with the Disaster Management Act, the Fire Brigade Service Act, the National Veld and Forest Fire Act, and the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act. Fire in South Africa is a usual occurrence. The National Disaster Management Center recorded that in 2016/17, over 17,000 fires occurred, destroying almost 5,900 dwellings, resulting in the death of 142 people. Fires greatly affect informal settlements as well as other hazards that are poorly built and overcrowded, therefore are vulnerable.
The impact of rumination on information seeking, depressive symptomology, and protective actions in response to COVID-19

Published: September 2023

A lengthy history of research in the crisis communication literature has documented sex differences in information needs and responses. Response Styles Theory is introduced as a potential explanatory mechanism for these findings, which may be attributable to differences in rumination tendency. A representative survey of over 5,000 United States residents explored information seeking and risk perceptions regarding the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Results support the argument that previously observed sex differences may be accounted for rumination, and rumination is predictive of specific (but not general) risk estimation. Rumination may also drive information seeking and subsequent depressive symptoms, especially among men. The findings are discussed in terms of their implications for risk and crisis communicators, and our consideration of gender norms and their impact on risk message processing.

Introduction

No survey has evaluated hypertensive heart disease (HHD) burden with statistics from the Risk Factors Study, Injuries, and the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) 2019.

Material and methods

The evaluated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were obtained to assess the trend in prevalence standardized by age, mortality rates standardized by age, and DALYs standardized by age between 1990 and 2019. We also evaluated the contribution of risk factors to HHD-associated DALYs and mortality.

Results

Between 1990 and 2019, the worldwide prevalence rate standardized by age increased (EAPC = 0.17; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.15 to 0.18), but the death rate standardized by age (EAPC = –0.74; 95% CI: –0.91 to –0.57) and DALYs standardized by age rate decreased (EAPC = –1.02; 95% CI: –1.18 to –0.86). The prevalence rate of HHD standardized by age increased the most in the high-middle areas of SDI (EAPC = 0.43). The biggest increases in the prevalence rate standardized by age were in Andean Latin America (EAPC = 0.43), Western Sub-Saharan Africa (EAPC = 0.30), and the Middle East and North Africa (EAPC = 0.24). The largest decrease in mortality that could be attributed to rate and DALYs in both sexes between 1990 and 2019 was consistent with a high BMI.

Conclusions

The worldwide prevalence rate standardized by age increased during 1990-2019, especially in Andean Latin America, North Africa, the Middle East, and Western Sub-Saharan Africa. Future HHD prevention tactics should be focused on males, high-risk areas, and control of high BMI.

Authors: Lv Yunfu , Li Yejuan , Han XiaoYu , Liu Ning , Zeng Min
Published: September 2023

Introduction

To investigate the expression and treatment of chemokine CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4/CXCR7.

Methods

The liver cirrhosis hypersplenism model of rats was made with CCL4, and then was detected by immunohistochemistry, Western blot and qRT-PCR.

Results

The area of spleen fibrosis in the model group was significantly larger than that in the control group (p < 0.01), and the expression of CXCL12, CXCR4 and CXCR7 in the model group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.01).

Conclusions

CXCL12-CXCR4/CXCR7 is abnormally high in splenic fibrosis, and blocking its high expression can slow down the occurrence of hypersplenism.
The Personal Past: Designs on Pots
Authors: van Esterik Penny
Published: September 2023

Chapter One of Designs on Pots considers how my personal story intersects with the story about the archaeological site of Ban Chiang, northeast Thailand, as I encountered painted pottery from Ban Chiang (1969–74) and later examined texts about Ban Chiang (2018–20). It discusses how I traced the looted pottery in public and private collections and photographed several hundred vessels discussed in the book. It reminds the reader how personal and chance experiences shape research agendas. The introductory chapter also includes a discussion of advocacy and ethics in anthropology, methods, and theoretical arguments.
The Artistic Past: Aesthetic Preferences
Authors: van Esterik Penny
Published: September 2023

This chapter considers the aesthetic context of Ban Chiang artifacts by examining the decorative elements used by the prehistoric artists who decorated the Late Period painted pottery. Following a review of the basics of symmetry operations, I review and update my model of symmetry analysis based on a Chomskian linguistic analogy and apply it to the unprovenienced Late Period painted pottery photographed in the early seventies. The chapter also considers possible approaches to the symbolism and meaning of the designs themselves, including representational possibilities. Based on new approaches to symmetry and cultural processes, the chapter concludes with some future questions that could be asked even of unprovenienced material culture.
The Packaged Past: Implications for Thai Heritage
Authors: van Esterik Penny
Published: September 2023

The final chapter of Designs on Pots broadens the discussion to examine how Ban Chiang is framed in relation to Thai national identity and heritage production. The chapter reviews UNESCO approaches to tangible and intangible heritage and heritage tourism in mainland Southeast Asia. It explores how the non-Buddhist parts of the Thai patrimony are handled in heritage discourses and how conflicting values are negotiated in relation to policies around heritage and nationalism in Thailand. The book concludes with a discussion of the place of Ban Chiang both in Thai national heritage and in world prehistory, using the concept of regional civility to draw attention to the uniqueness of Southeast Asia as a region.
General approach to dry cough
Authors: Bilgin Gülden
Published: September 2023

Dry cough is a common health problem and upper airway cough syndrome, asthma and gastroesophageal reflux disease are the most common causes of dry cough in adults. Diagnostic approach and algorithms are defined according to the American Academy of Chest Diseases cough guideline updated in 2006.The initial evaluation should start with history taking, physical examination, radiologic and spirometric assessment. Antihistaminic and decongestant agent combinations, inhaled corticosteroid and bronchodilator combinations, leukotriene receptor antagonists, and when necessary oral steroids are used in the treatment depending on the etiology. Treatments based on etiology and if needed evaluation with further tests are essential.
An Analysis of Stakeholder Engagement in the E-Learning Policy-Making Process at a Higher Education Institution in South Africa
Authors: Makwambeni Patricia , Makwambeni Blessing , Usadolo Sam
Published: September 2023

Over the past two decades, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in South Africa have been formulating e-learning policies to assist them to realise the full potential of using ICTs in teaching and learning. E-learning policies serve as guiding frameworks that create enabling environments for embedding ICTs in teaching and learning. The development of e-learning policies has attracted various stakeholders and actors with varied interests, views, priorities, influence and power. Consequently, stakeholder engagement is now an essential factor in the policy process. The efficacy of an e-learning policy can therefore be judged based on the multiple perspectives that it includes and the inclusion of those it affects in the policy-making process. In light of this background, this paper examined stakeholder engagement that characterised the e-learning policy formulation process at a University of Technology in South Africa (UoT). How stakeholders were engaged in the policy-making process using stakeholder engagement as its analytical framework, the stakeholders and actors involved in the policy formulation process and the nature of the dialogue that informed the policy formulation process were examined. The qualitative study gathered evidence using semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The study's findings show that the policy-making process at the UoT followed a bureaucratic process dominated by one actor, the policy delegate. Key stakeholders were excluded during the policy formulation process and were only consulted at the drafting stage. As a result, stakeholder engagement in the policy formulation process was low, resulting in key stakeholders and actors lacking policy ownership. Our findings also show that the exclusion of key stakeholders in the policy formulation process resulted in a policy that exclusively focuses on the Learner Management System and overlooks other technologies that play a crucial role in teaching and learning. These findings suggest the need to include all critical stakeholders and actors affected and interested in the e-learning policy at every stage of the policy formulation process.

The study will conclude with a way to develop institutional structures implementing Solow’s conceptualization of inter-generalization that can collaborate peace and increase funds for quality water throughout the Middle East. The study integrates quantitative statistical data and defends the argument that every individual has the right to fresh quality drinking water. The study formulates a hypothesis to gain control, offers visibility into the water industry in the Middle East and delivers reliable information. Identify what the commonalities between different sectors were and where synergies lay in terms of governance paths (Tiller etc al, 2021.p.1). Machine learning is exploding as an application of narrow Artificial Intelligence (AI), used to comb through vast amounts of data to better develop and market product (Capitol Technology, 2022. p.1). Cultural transparency will be investigated along with how the government manages reluctance and how they build strong relationships. A focus is on building a network of founder's challenges facing our world today demonstrate how interconnected we are and how the fates of all people are bound up together. The outbreak of a virus overseas can cause profound grief and suffering at home. Energy data will be reported to show key metrics and will be compared to countries in the Middle East and measured in amounts of water consumption and renewable energy. “Questions such as these will be answered by world data,” how water is produced by renewable energy”? Conflict a continent away can create endangers our own security. Economic downturns abroad can mean lost jobs and shuttered businesses in towns across the globe (President Biden, 2021). Global climate change worsening hurricanes in the Gulf, floods in the heartland, and wildfires in the West. Because of global warming areas in the world are becoming scarce of potable water for a variety of reasons. Yet what is sure in the oceans is an infinite source of water that is not dependent on rainfall be used to provide potable water for all these drought-stricken regions.
Bayh-Dole Patent Trends
Authors: Abdulla Sara , Corrigan Jack
Published: September 2023

This brief examines trends in patents generated through federally funded research, otherwise known as Bayh-Dole patents. We find that while Bayh-Dole patents make up a small proportion of U.S. patents overall, they are much more common in certain fields, especially in biosciences and national defense related fields. Academic institutions are major recipients of Bayh-Dole patents, and the funding landscape for patent-producing research has shifted since Bayh-Dole came into effect in 1980.
