РЕГУЛИРОВАНИЕ ИНТЕРНЕТ-КОНТЕНТА В КОНТЕКСТЕ ПРАВОВЫХ И ВНЕПРАВОВЫХ ГЛОБАЛЬНЫХ ТЕНДЕНЦИЙ
Authors: Войниканис Елена Анатольевна
Published: November 2024

Рассмотрено регулирование интернет-контента с точки зрения незаинтересованного наблюдателя c опорой на факты, законодательство, судебную практику и результаты исследований правовой науки. Вначале проводено сравнение цензуры XIX в. с ограничениями интернет-контента и сделан вывод о том, что целью государства в обоих случаях является защита своих граждан. Далее проанализирован глобальный рост числа законов, ограничивающих различные виды ложной информации, и связанных с этой тенденцией рисков, в частности, неопределенности в определениях базовых понятий. В разделе о необходимом балансе прав человека при введении ограничений на распространение той или иной категории информации особое внимание уделено информационным свободам и их потенциальному конфликту с авторским правом. Статья завершается рассмотрением глобальных факторов, которые, по мнению автора, определяют причины усиления регулирования интернет-контента и виды используемых при этом правовых инструментов. К таким факторам автор относит регулирование новых технологий, основанное на принципе предосторожности; изменение способов потребления информации и отношения к ее содержанию, а также глобальное расхождение в ценностях, которое порождает недоверие и тенденцию к изоляции.
Polarización ideológica en torno a la ciencia en España: el caso de las actitudes anticientíficas, las creencias conspirativas y la confianza en los científicos
Authors: Jiménez-Loaisa Francisco Javier , Jareño-Ruiz Diana
Published: November 2024

La polarización social en torno a los hechos científicos se ha visto exacerbada recientemente por la proliferación de movimientos y partidos políticos populistas. A partir de los datos de la Encuesta de Percepción Social de la Ciencia y la Tecnología realizada por la Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECYT), estudiamos la polarización ideológica en torno a la ciencia en España. Utilizamos la técnica de ANOVA para analizar la formación de grupos ideológicos en torno a tres constructos teóricos: actitudes anticientíficas, creencias conspirativas y confianza en los científicos. Los grupos ideológicos identificados son los grupos populistas de izquierda, de izquierda, de derecha y populistas de derecha. Los resultados muestran la polarización ideológica de la población española en torno a las tres variables utilizadas. En general, los grupos de izquierda y de derecha sostienen las posiciones más moderadas. En cambio, los grupos populistas de izquierda muestran mayor tendencia a tener actitudes prociencia. Por otro lado, los grupos ideológicos populistas de derecha son más propensos a mantener posiciones contrarias a la ciencia, creencias conspirativas y menos confianza en los científicos. Sin embargo, no se puede argumentar que estos grupos adopten posiciones extremadamente radicales respecto a los constructos analizados.
Metaphorical conceptualization of AI in digital discourse
Authors: Esbrí-Blasco Montserrat
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the conceptual metaphors employed to characterize Artificial Intelligence (AI) within online public discourse. By using a cognitive semantic approach, this investigation aims to uncover how metaphors shape social perceptions of AI, revealing the cognitive mechanisms involved in making sense of this rapidly evolving technology. An adapted version of the Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP) has been combined with semantic frames to analyze the metaphorical mappings between the source and target frames, offering a more precise examination of the metaphors' conceptual structure. The analysis reveals a spectrum of metaphors portraying AI both as a beneficial partner and a potential threat, reflecting diverse attitudes and concerns about its integration into society. By focusing on the frame level, this study provides a fine-grained understanding of how different aspects of AI are construed through familiar conceptual frames. The findings contribute to the field of Cognitive Semantics and offer valuable insights for AI developers, educators, and communicators, emphasizing the importance of metaphors in framing society’s understanding of emerging technologies.

BSA: The Bloch Sphere Approachas a Geometrical Design Tool for Building Cost-Effective Quantum Gates v2
Authors: Al-Bayaty Ali , Perkowski Marek
Published: November 2024

The Bloch sphere is a geometrical 3D sphere that visualizes the states of a qubit after a series of quantum gates are applied to it. In quantum computing, the Bloch sphere is mainly used as a geometrical visualization (and verification) tool. On the other hand, in this protocol, we introduce the Bloch sphere as a geometrical design tool for building cost-effective quantum gates based on their rotational quantum operations in the XY, XZ, and/or YZ planes, which are the 2D circular projections along the axes of the Bloch sphere. Collectively, the Bloch sphere and its projectional planes are termed the Bloch sphere approach (BSA). With the BSA, various generic and cost-effective quantum gates and libraries are designed for IBM quantum computers, using the symmetrical and semi-symmetrical structures [1-5], Clifford+T gates, and IBM native "basis" gates ( , , , and ). Our designed generic and cost-effective quantum gates and libraries are listed as follows, where 2 n 5 qubits. Quantum libraries: GALA-n [3, 6] and CALA-n [4, 7], which have become part of the IBM Qiskit ecosystem [8] n-bit Toffoli gate [2-4] n-bit Boolean gates (AND, NAND, OR, NOR, Implication, and Inhibition) [3, 4] n-bit controlled- ( ) and controlled- ( ) gates [3, 4] n-bit Fredkin gate [3, 4] n-bit Miller gate [3, 4] Boolean-Phase SWAP gate: p-SWAP [4, 5] Because the quantum operations of all IBM native gates mainly rotate around the X-axis and Z-axis of the Bloch sphere, the XY-plane of the Bloch sphere is utilized here for the BSA. However, the BSA can also be utilized to build generic and cost-effective quantum gates for other quantum computers, e.g., Intel, Google, and Rigetti, using other projectional planes of the Bloch sphere, e.g., the XZ and YZ planes, based on the supported native gates for such quantum computers. Therefore, in this protocol, we introduce the BSA as a generic and open geometrical framework for prospective quantum computing research and building interesting and innovative quantum gates and circuits.

Authors: Nguyen Thi-Phuong , Duong Tang Van , Do Hoang Dang Khoa , Le Van Minh , Ta Kim Nhung , Nguyen Khoa Thi
Published: November 2024

Edible bird’s nest (EBN) is renowned for diverse pharmacological properties; however, its ability to cause cancer cell death has not been found in recent studies. This study investigates the phytochemical composition of EBN ethanol extract (EEE), the cytotoxic and apoptosis-inducing effects of the extract on human hepatocellular carcinoma Huh-7 cells. Qualitative and quantitative tests showed that proteins and peptides were abundant in the EEE. In the MTT assay, the extract exhibited cytotoxic activity against Huh-7 cells (IC50 = 58.57 ± 2.66 µg/mL, 53.15 ± 3.07 µg/mL, and 55.27 ± 1.85 µg/mL at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h of incubation, respectively). Annexin-V/PI staining suggested that the extract provoked apoptosis in Huh-7 cells by deregulating the expression patterns of apoptotic markers including caspase 3, caspase 8, caspase 9, and survivin. These findings demonstrate the potential of the EEE as a promising anticancer candidate for further studies.
The European Central Bank: From a Price Stability Paradigm to a Multidimensional Stability Paradigm
Authors: Quaglia Lucia , Verdun Amy
Published: November 2024

This article maps and explains the shift in economic thinking at the European Central Bank (ECB), i.e., its “ideational” evolution over the past two decades. When the ECB was set up in 1999 its institutional design and epistemic outlook were very much inspired by the legacy of the German central bank, the Bundesbank. Thus, the ECB embraced a “price stability” paradigm that prioritized inflation control. However, over time, policy learning in response to economic shocks (first and foremost, a series of consecutive financial and economic crises from 2008 onwards) and the internal organic evolution of the ECB have led to a shift of economic thinking at the Bank, which has also been reflected by its policy actions. The new paradigm can be characterized as a “multidimensional stability” paradigm. By relying on inter alia secondary literature, speeches, semi-structured elite interviews, and data we collected concerning the previous experience at national central banks of senior ECB staff, we identify a novel causal mechanism for ideational change at the Bank: the change in the composition of senior managerial staff from 1999 onward.
Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) as an object of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation
Authors: Kuznetsova Xenia A. , Dodueva Irina E. , Lutova Lyudmila A.
Published: November 2024

Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is an annual root crop closely related to Arabidopsis thaliana. It can be widely used as a perspective model plant to study the genetic control of storage root development. Thus, obtaining stable genetic transformants of radish to study the function of genes involved in storage root development becomes an important task. In this review, we present the currently available data on Agrobacterium-mediated transformation methods for radish, including in vitro and in planta methods using Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and a method for the production of composite plants with transformed roots or even whole transgenic plants with Agrobacterium rhizogenes. Improvement of existing methods and development of new approaches for radish transformation will increase the productivity of radish varieties, and the wider use of this promising model plant will provide new data on the genetic control of storage root development.

Authors: Oliveira Ana Larissa Adorno Marciotto , Miranda Monique Vieira
Published: November 2024

O debate presidencial brasileiro do segundo turno, realizado em 28/10/22, reverberou fortemente no Twitter/X, principalmente pelos episódios de ataques verbais entre os candidatos. O objetivo deste artigo é investigar as reações dos usuários à conduta verbal dos candidatos para verificar se/como essas reações se caracterizam como instâncias de metadiscurso de impolidez. Objetivamos também explorar se/como o metadiscurso pode se constituir em ferramenta analítica para os estudos da impolidez, principalmente do ponto de vistas da percepção dos falantes (impolidez de primeira ordem). Os dados foram extraídos das hashtags mais utilizadas na plataforma no dia do debate e foram analisados por meio do método misto, em que elementos verbais, visuais e tipográficos são considerados (Unger et al., 2016). Os resultados mostram que os usuários avaliaram negativamente o comportamento verbal dos candidatos e reagiram à impolidez retribuindo-a da mesma forma. A ocorrência de tentativas de vilipêndio online, tendo como alvo os candidatos, seus apoiadores e figuras públicas do meio jornalístico e judiciário, sugere, ainda, a instauração de um processo de normalização da linguagem indecorosa e impolida, evidenciada principalmente por meio de xingamentos e de asserções negativas, bem como pela acumulação de variados recursos simbólicos, próprios do meio digital.

Authors: Fatmawati Dwi Warna Aju , Budirahardjo Roedy , Wilfira Mia
Published: November 2024

The shape of deep and narrow pits and fissures can be a place of retention for both bacteria and debris and if this condition is left untreated, it can develop into caries. Effective efforts are needed to prevent caries, one of which is the application of pit and fissure sealants. Composite resin and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) are materials that are used as pit and fissure sealants. Consumption of drinks with an acidic pH, such as fermented milk, is one of the causes of microleakage because it degrades the sealant material. This study aims to know the differences in microleakage between pit and fissure sealant materials, composite resin, and RMGIC after immersion in fermented milk drinks. The sample of this research was divided into 2 groups, namely group A as composite resin and group B as RMGIC. Each group used a sample of 10 elements of the maxillary 1st premolar, then soaked in fermented milk drink for 6 hours at 37oC, followed by immersion in 2% methylene blue for 4 hours, then penetration of 2% methylene blue was checked using the Beta 4.0.3 of Scion Image program. The average microleakage of group A was 0.761 mm, and that of group B was 2.178 mm. There were differences in microleakage from the pit and fissure sealant material composite resin, and RMGIC composite resin had lower microleakage rates than RMGIC materials.

Published: November 2024

An oral fluid called saliva contributes to the preservation of oral homeostasis. Both the major and minor salivary glands create saliva. Meanwhile, the practice of not eating or drinking is known as fasting. While fasting, saliva production is quite low, resulting from low stimulation to salivary glands. Salivary production, in fact, can be stimulated by mechanical stimuli, one of which is by reciting the Qur'an. Reciting the Qur'an with makhorijul huroof means reciting Qur'anic verses according to where the sound of the hijaiyah letters comes out. The resulting movement can stimulate the salivary glands and increase saliva production. The study, therefore, aims to determine the effect of reciting the Qur'an with makhraj on the volume and pH of saliva during fasting in Institut Ilmu Kesehatan Bhakti Wiyata Kediri students. This study employed a true experimental method with a pre-test-post-test control group design. The results data were analyzed and interpreted to test the hypothesis using the independent t-test with the variable data scale being ratio. The results revealed the significance value of the independent t-test on the difference between the pre-test and post-test data on volume and pH of the experimental group of 0.000 Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed). The p-value 0.05 indicates that there was a significant effect. This study concludes that reciting the Qur'an with makhraj can increase the volume and pH of saliva during fasting.

Published: November 2024

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology in journalism has brought about significant changes. Equipped with AI-powered tools, this technology has become an integral part of journalistic work, transforming the way news is processed. These advancements enable more efficient news production, increasing processing capacity in the digital era. This study examines the phenomenon of AI technology adoption in news writing by journalists at Bengkulu Ekspress.com. As AI evolves rapidly, many media outlets are integrating it to enhance efficiency in content creation. Employing a qualitative approach, this research incorporates in-depth interviews with several journalists and analyzes news content published on the Bengkulu Ekspress.com platform. The findings reveal that while AI contributes to various aspects of news writing, such as data processing and automated report generation, it does not entirely replace the role of journalists. Journalists retain primary control over key elements, including narrative construction, perspective, and the values conveyed in the news. Moreover, AI primarily functions as a tool to expedite workflows and improve information accuracy. Despite AI’s growing influence on the media industry, the role of human journalists as creators of news content remains indispensable.
Do we need group and save for trans-urethral resection of bladder tumour and trans-urethral resection of the prostate procedures?
Authors: Al-Ibraheem Hasan , Wani Mudassir , Hamed Abdel H. , Sheikh Mohammed
Published: November 2024

Background: Trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and trans-urethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) are urological procedures essential for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, respectively, these procedures may result in post-operative bleeding. In our hospital, pre-operative blood group and save is a routine to enhance patient safety. This study aims to evaluate transfusion rates and the potential cost benefits of limiting routine blood group and save.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective audit of patients undergoing TURP and TURBT between October 2018 and October 2020. Data was collected using theatre system records and blood bank information regarding transfusions.
Results: Out of 233 patients (average age 74), 141 underwent TURBT, 89 underwent TURP, and 3 underwent both simultaneously. Historical group and save were found in 214 (91.84%) patients, and 162 (69.5%) had same-day group and save. Only 2 patients (0.85%) necessitated transfusions.
Conclusions: The necessity for blood transfusion after TURP and TURBT is low, indicating that routine pre-operative group and save may not be essential for all patients. Tailoring this practice to high-risk individuals may reduce costs and relieve workloads. Enhanced surgical techniques and tools are likely contributors to these improved outcomes.
Effect of prehabilitation on outcomes following upper gastrointestinal surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Findlay Nicholas , Han Sean , Pillinger Neil
Published: November 2024

It is accepted in several areas of surgery that prehabilitation can improve post-operative outcomes. Prehabilitation describes preoperative interventions aimed at optimizing patient condition prior to surgery to improve postoperative outcomes. It is hypothesized that prehabilitation reduces postoperative complications in the setting of upper gastrointestinal surgery. A systematic search strategy was performed based on a research question formulated with reference to the PICO framework. Eligible studies were those that included a predefined prehabilitation intervention, a comparison to usual care and conducted on patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal surgery. Included studies were evaluated for bias and underwent data extraction. Meta-analysis was also performed for outcomes where possible. Eight studies met criteria for inclusion in this review. The nature and length of prehabilitation programs varied widely, with interventions lasting from two to six weeks. Reported outcomes included post-operative pulmonary complications, mortality and length of hospital stay. A meta-analysis was undertaken for mortality and postoperative pulmonary complications. Meta-analysis showed postoperative pulmonary complications were reduced (RR0.68, 95% CI 0.50-0.93) in the intervention group compared to the control group, as was mortality (RR 0.59, 95% CI 0.35-1.00). Prehabilitation, especially inspiratory muscle training appears to be effective in reducing pulmonary complications in patients scheduled for upper gastrointestinal surgery. With the available data it is uncertain if this translates to reduced length of stay or mortality. There is scope for further research to better define a role for prehabilitation in upper gastrointestinal surgery, specifically the optimal prehabilitation modality and length.
Outcome of total hip arthroplasty versus hip hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures in the elderly: a meta-analysis of randomized control trial
Authors: Cahyadi N. Indra Tri , Steven Paul
Published: November 2024

Background: Roughly 50% of all hip fractures are femoral neck fractures, these fractures are subtype of intracapsular hip fractures. Elderly patient's femoral neck fracture is typically the consequence of a straightforward fall from standing height with low energy. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) versus hip hemiarthroplasty (HHA) is a topic of controversy that sparked discussions over half century ago, between these two types technique have own advantages and disadvantages.
Methods: A comprehensive search conducted across major electronic databases for relevant studies published from 2014-2024. Studies THA with HA for elderly patients with femoral neck fractures were included. Data regarding study characteristics, surgical techniques, outcomes, and garden classification were extracted and analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Our primary outcomes were surgical duration, functional outcome and complications.
Results: The initial search yielded total 825 studies, which 7 studies met the inclusion criteria, consisting of total 747 patients THA and HA for elderly patients with femoral neck fractures. THA had longer surgery duration compared with HA (MD=32.48, 95% CI:5.13 to 59.83, p=0.02). THA showed better ratings Harris hip score (HHS) during a year follow-up periods (MD=2.31, 95 CI:0.42 to 4.21, p=0.02). There was no significant difference in complications.
Conclusions: THA advantageous over hemiarthroplasty in the terms of HHS but HA favoured in surgical duration. Ultimately, only large well-conducted studies will result in improvements in the outcomes of treatment and resolve the longstanding controversy of whether THA or HA is the preferred treatment modality for femoral neck fracture in elderly.
Laparoscopic management of necrotizing granulomatous appendicitis: a diagnostic challenge
Authors: Leandro Sofia A. , Lima Rita P. , Leandro Rita A. , Silva Artur C. , Carvalho Manuel G.
Published: November 2024

We present a case report of necrotizing granulomatous appendicitis, a rare condition that poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its atypical presentation, often mimicking more common conditions like acute appendicitis or inflammatory bowel disease. A 29-year-old female was admitted with a one-month history of abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and recent urinary symptoms. Laboratory tests revealed leukocytosis, elevated C-reactive protein, and anemia. A CT scan indicated an inflamed appendix, prompting a laparoscopic appendectomy. Intraoperatively, findings raised the suspicion of inflammatory bowel disease; however, histopathological analysis confirmed necrotizing granulomatous appendicitis. Further microbiological testing excluded bacterial and fungal infections, while the IGRA test was positive for tuberculosis. This case emphasizes the dual role of laparoscopic surgery in both diagnosing and treating necrotizing granulomatous appendicitis. It highlights the importance of considering rare etiologies, such as tuberculosis, especially in patients presenting with atypical symptoms. Early recognition and appropriate management are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Authors: Marques Sónia , Nunes Natacha , Madeira Lara , Barradas Renato , Sintra Paulo , Rodrigues Miguel
Published: November 2024

Splenic peliosis is an extremely rare pathological entity of unclear etiology characterized by the presence of multiple blood-filled cavities. Although numerous associations have been described in the literature, the etiology remains unclear. The present case is about a healthy 40-year-old woman who was referred to our institution due to chronic symptoms of abdominal discomfort and constipation. Despite the abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan and abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reported an adrenal mass, reviewing the scans, the radiologist suggested a 17,5 cm, well-vascularized splenic mass. A splenectomy was performed, without any complications. We discuss the current available literature and emphasize the importance of awareness of this diagnosis.
A case report of perforated gall bladder in an adolescent female: a diagnostic dilemma successfully managed by laparoscopy
Authors: Garg Ashish , Pandey Srijan , Pusuluri Rahul , Mohammad Benazeer H. , Manju  , Rishu
Published: November 2024

Gall bladder perforations are rare and usually seen in elderly age group having comorbidities like diabetes and are associated with severe morbidity and mortality. Gall bladder perforation is much rarer in younger patients and thus leads to diagnostic dilemma. These cases generally require exploratory laparotomy and are associated with high incidences of SSI. With advent of minimal invasive procedure laparoscopic cholecystectomy is an option for management with prompt and accurate diagnosis. We present a case of 19-year-old female with anaemia having severe pain in abdomen and fever at presentation. She was diagnosed as gall bladder perforation on ultrasound which was confirmed by CECT Abdomen. Patient was managed by laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy with uneventful post-operative period. Gall bladder perforations are rarely seen in young adults posing diagnostic dilemma. Delay in diagnosis can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. In patients of cholecystitis with non-resolving fever and peritonitis generalised or localised should raise a high suspicion of perforation and should be promptly diagnosed with CECT Abdomen. Although conventionally exploratory laparotomy is done for gall bladder perforation with peritonitis, diagnostic laparoscopy with cholecystectomy is a feasible option in selected patients. In young adults with non-resolving acute abdomen with calculous cholecystitis high degree of suspicion of Gall Bladder perforation should be kept. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a feasible option with minimal morbidity and higher cosmesis in young adults.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in an unsuspected left sided gallbladder: a rare case report with review of literature
Authors: Hajong Ranendra
Published: November 2024

Left sided gallbladder (LSG) is a very rare clinical entity and most are diagnosed at operation. The patients usually present with features of biliary colic or pain in the right upper abdomen similar to normally positioned gallbladder. Ultrasonography is not a good diagnostic modality for diagnosing LSG and CT scan is better for the pre-operative diagnosis of the condition. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be done in patients with LSG and antegrade or fundus first technique is usually advocated.

Published: November 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the morphology and variations of the inferior alveolar canal using Orthopantomogram (OPG) and the distribution of variations by gender and classification. Methods: 300 panoramic radiographs were analysed for the Bifid Mandibular Canal (BMC). A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet was made, and the information was entered based on the BMC classification, patient age, gender, number of normal mandibular canals, the number of variations (A: lower, B: mesial, C: alveolar, D: retromolar), and the side on which the mandibular canal variation is present. The data was analysed using SPSS v. 23. Results: The prevalence of bifid mandibular canal was 10%, and the females showed a higher prevalence than males. The bifid mandibular canal showed more prevalence on the left side, and the most common variation that was found was Class B [Mesial side]. Conclusion: To prevent difficulties following surgery, panoramic radiographs are advised for a thorough assessment and identification of the bifid mandibular canals prior to any surgical treatments.

Stevia rebaudiana produce glucósidos de esteviol en sus hojas, el esteviósido y rebaudiósido-A son los más importes gracias a su propiedad edulcorante. El fósforo es un elemento esencial en la biosíntesis de glucósidos de esteviol y las micorrizas arbusculares son capaces de promover la concentración de glucósidos por facilitar la traslocación de fósforo hacia la planta. Por tanto, se cuantificó la concentración de esteviósido y rebaudiósido-A por medio de 1H-RMN en plantas de S. rebaudiana inoculadas con consorcios de micorrizas arbusculares (consorcios RC, TZ y CY) y fertilizadas con niveles de fósforo (25, 50, 75 y 100 %). Se obtuvo un 76 % de colonización micorrícica con el tratamiento RC + 25 % fósforo, donde también se registró mayor contenido de fósforo foliar y mayor concentración de esteviósido y rebaudiósido-A en mg g-1 de hoja seca, superando significativamente a la fertilización convencional. Con esta combinación se logró mejorar el rendimiento de esteviósido y rebaudiósido-A en hojas de S. rebaudiana. Además, se destaca que el método 1H-RMN se utilizó como una alternativa viable a la HPLC para cuantificar los principales glucósidos de esteviol en S. rebaudiana, el cual proporciona resultados cuantitativos en menos tiempo y con la misma precisión.
Sunsets, seafood and sea gypsies: A qualitative content analysis on the alternative destination image of Malaysian Borneo among Chinese outbound tourists
Authors: Zhang Ke , Kler Balvinder Kaur , Wong Siao Fui
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this work is to explore the online destination image perceived by Chinese tourists visiting Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Employing Leiper’s tourism system as a guiding framework, the research utilized qualitative content analysis (QCA) to scrutinize a purposefully selected sample of thirty-seven Douyin contents, which is known outside China as TikTok. Findings indicate an alternative destination image, with Chinese tourists highlighting sunsets, seafood and sea gypsies as prominent attributes, deviating from the conventional association of sun, sea and sand. This distinctive perception contrasts with the perceptions held by Western tourists of Sabah. Informed by Leiper’s tourism system, this study emphasizes the importance for coastal destination marketing organizations to convey a destination image that extends beyond the conventional sun-sea-sand concept. Effective communication requires a nuanced understanding of unique destination images tailored to specific market segments based on their respective tourist generating regions. This approach aligns with Leiper’s emphasis on the interconnected relationships between the tourist generating region and the tourist destination region, providing insights for strategic destination marketing that cater to diverse tourist perspectives. The findings interpret user-generated content (UGC) within Leiper’s tourism system, consolidating the importance of projected online destination images.
International Language Poetry: Radical Poetics in Charles Bernstein and Andrzej Sosnowski
Authors: Cieślak-Sokołowski Tomasz
Published: November 2024

The article discusses two linguistic poetry projects—that of the American poet Charles Bernstein and that of the Polish poet Andrzej Sosnowski. The main focus is on those poems by both poets which draw inspiration from the early modernist tradition of avant-garde and experimental literature. At the same time, the keystone of both works reveals itself to be—in reference to Ezra Pound’s poetic project—the belief that a poem is not so much a record of the poet’s experiences and emotions, but rather a distinct field capable of effectively assimilating and absorbing various elements (such as vocabularies, language styles, discourses). In this light, when closely examined, Bernstein’s and Sosnowski’s poems emerge as a late-modern attempt to contain the oversimplified, ideologized images of contemporary reality within an effectively polyphonic poetic text. This is because the author attempts to demonstrate that a difficult poem, employing avant-garde techniques, does not have to be merely a sterile formalist exercise. Instead, innovative poetic practices continue to have an important role, particularly if we shift our focus from political and journalistic declarations to the politicization of form. Poetry that still seeks stylistic and formal innovations can suggest alternative approaches to readers regarding the oversimplified methods of shaping social formations.

Authors: Kala Shivani , Juyal Divya
Published: November 2024

Background: Drug aceclofenac is commonly used as an analgesics both topically and orally. Though it has diverse side effects related to oral delivery. Aim of recent work is to design and optimize a transdermal gel loaded with penetration enhancer from various natural sources so as to promote the delivery via skin. Methods: Carbopol was used as a gelling agent. Other ingredients used include essential oil from Allium sativum, Zingiber officinale, Triethanolamine, tween 80 etc. For animal studies Albino Wistar rats were employed in which analgesic as well as anti-inflammatory activity of Aceclofenac were evaluated. Result: All the prepared Emulgel were good in appearance and viscous in nature. The pH of the Emulgel from both essential oils ranged between 5.00-7.00. The spreading coefficient ranged between 19.00 - 28.00 gm.cm/sec for FA1-FA9 and between 17-26.4 gm.cm/sec for FZ1-FZ9. All the formulations showed optimum viscosity. The drug release percent of Emulgel FA1-FA9 ranged between 75.0-89.0% and 80-90 for FZ1-FZ9. In in-vivo studies comparable analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity were found. As a concluding statement we can say that essential oil from both Allium sativum and Zingiber officinale can act as a potential candidate for enhancement of drug delivery through skin.

Authors: Pujiharto Yaya Ruhenda Casmita , Yusnita Titien
Published: November 2024

This study analyzes the impact of IT-based banking services on Islamic and Conventional Commercial Banks in Indonesia. It evaluates their influence on the number of bank branches, Automated Teller Machines (ATM), Operating Costs (BOPO), and Net Income (NI). The research uses secondary data from The Financial Services Authority (OJK), Bank Indonesia, and the Indonesian Payment System Association (ASPI) for the 2018-2023 period. The data analysis employs the ECM (Error Correction Model) method. Results show that e-banking services significantly affect the dependent variables. For the branch model, mobile and internet banking impact branch numbers in the long term, but not in the short term. Mobile and internet banking have a long-term effect on ATMs, while the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) and e-banking services influence ATMs in the short term. In terms of BOPO, mobile banking and QRIS affect it in the long term, while internet banking and QRIS influence it in the short term. Lastly, mobile banking and QRIS have a long-term effect on Net Interest Margin (NIM), but no significant effect in the short term. Overall, the findings demonstrate that mobile banking, internet banking, and QRIS are important factors influencing various banking metrics over different timeframes.
