Published: January 2024

The peculiarities of formation of platinum nanoparticles and chemical coating of carbon support surface during preparation of model (0.5%Pt/Sibunit) as well as industrial (0.5%Pt/Graphite) catalysts for hydroxylamine sulfate synthesis by NO hydrogenation in H2SO4 solution have been disclosed. It is shown that functionalization of the support surface with nitrogen-containing groups in the course of platinum deposition promotes not only metal dispersion but also a significant increase in its selectivity towards hydroxylamine sulfate. Based on experimental data, it is suggested that the maximal selectivity is inherent in the active centers representing single atoms or small clustersof platinum bound to nitrogen-containing ligands at the carbon surface.

Authors: Zaitsev A. V. , Shesterkin V. P. , Kirichenko E. A. , Kruglov M. S.
Published: January 2024

The influence of the concentration of Na+, NO2–, NO3– ions on the rate of photocatalytic oxidation of model organic dyes was studied in the article: cationic – methylene blue (MB); anionic – methyl orange (MO). Based on studies of hydrochemical indicators of polluted rivers in urban areas (Khabarovsk, Russia) in the period from 1999 to 2019, it was shown that the concentration of ions varies in the ranges: 0.005–0.7 mg/l for NO2–; 0.05–15 mg/l for NO3–; 13–180 mg/l for Na+. Optical spectrophotometry was used to study the kinetics of photooxidation of MC and MO in the concentration ranges of the studied ions: 0–1–10–100–1000–10000 mg/l using P25 titanium oxide as a photocatalyst. The photooxidation time (t) was estimated at various values of the degree of transformation (α) of dyes at: initial – 10 %t; medium – 50 %t; final – 90 %t stages of the photocatalytic process. The effect of absorption of light quanta with wavelengths of 200–350 nm by Na+/NO2– and Na+/NO3– ions is shown depending on the concentrations of these ions in the photocatalytic solution. Recommendations for practical applications of the method of photocatalytic water purification of real polluted waters are given, showing the need to take into account the concentration of the studied ions. A description of the observed effect of ions on the rate of photocatalytic oxidation of model organic dyes is proposed from the point of view of the band structure of semiconductors, elements of the theory of electrolytic dissociation and recombination of free radicals in photocatalytic processes.

Published: January 2024

The effect of contamination of ordinary black earth with platinum oxide (PtO2) on biological properties: root length and germination of radish, total number of bacteria, abundance of bacteria of the genus Azotobacter, activity of catalase and dehydrogenases have been studied. The concentrations studied were 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 mg/kg in 10, 30 and 90 days after contamination. A stimulating effect (hormesis) of platinum oxide at a concentration of 0.01 mg/kg on the biological properties of ordinary black earth was recorded. It was found that in other cases, platinum oxide has a negative effect on the studied parameters, and exhibits the greatest toxicity after 30 days after contamination, followed by restoration of soil properties after 90 days. It was concluded that the most sensitive (highest degree of reduction) indicators to platinum oxide contamination were the total number of bacteria, germination and length of radish roots. Early diagnosis of the degree of soil contamination with platinum compounds is recommended in order to obtain a prompt assessment of the impact and prevent possible negative consequences.

Structural Equation Modeling of the Relationship between Social Stigma of Cancer and Mental Habitus of Cancer among Family Caregivers of Cancer Patients
Authors: Mazlumi Omid , Parsamehr Mehraban , Zare-shahabadi Akbar
Published: January 2024

Introduction: In societies, incorrect beliefs about cancer cause stigma and weaken the health care and patients' treatment. The purpose of this studu is to investigate the impact of cancer habitus on cancer social stigma among family caregivers of cancer patients.
Methods: Survey method was usedand the statistical population included family caregivers of cancer patients in Tehran hospitals in 1401. Sample size included 384 people selected by convenience sampling method of multi-stage stratified type by referring to the hospitals under study. Data collection tool was the standard cancer stigma index questionnaire and the researcher-made cancer habitus questionnaire. Data were analyzed through correlation tests, mean difference, path analysis and structural equation modeling in SPSS and Amos.
Results: According to the results, there was a relationship between cancer stigma (with dimensions of others-avoidance, self-avoidance, and being released) and cancer habitus (with dimensions of enchantment and cure-avoidance); according to the path model, habitus explains 19/6% of the variation in stigma. Moreover, enchantment and cure-avoidance had the highest and lowest contribution to explaning stigma with an impact factor of 0/29 and 0/25. The results of structural equation model test also indicated appropriate fit of the presented conceptual model (GFI=0/973, RMSEA=0/067, CFI=0/958).
Conclusion: Caregivers of cancer patients, as the main supporters of the patient, are always influenced by incorrect cultural stereotypes of society. Identifying different dimensions of habitus (especially the aspect of enchanment), paying more attention to the aspect of being released of stigma, paying attention to the role of education and awareness in reducing false beliefs and more interaction with patients have a significant role in reducing the stigma of cancer and makes it easier for patients to bear the pain and suffering of cancer

Publicación de la ‘Colección Villasante de cantos y música tradicional ashaninka (1981- 1985)’ y proyecto de investigación
Authors: Villasante Cervello Mariella
Published: January 2024

Como en todas las sociedades de cazadores-recolectores, las creencias asociadas al mundo espiritual y las artes musicales son muy importantes entre los Ashaninka, los Nomatsiguenga y todos los pueblos originarios amazónicos. Esas temáticas han sido muy poco estudiadas en antropología social. Además, actualmente el abandono relativo de las lenguas originarias implica la disminución de la transmisión de las creencias y de las músicas que representan lo esencial del patrimonio cultural ashaninka. En ese marco, mi investigación actual tiene por objeto esclarecer la evolución de la relación entre la producción musical, las creencias y la identidad étnica y, paralelamente, revalorizar el patrimonio musical y mitológico de los Ashaninka y sus identidades étnicas. El punto de partida de este estudio de antropología social y musical son los cantos que he recogido entre 1981 y 1985, Colección Villasante de música tradicional ashaninka archivada en el Centre de Recherches d’Ethnomusicologie (CREM, Francia), que presento en esta nota.
Perceived behavioral traits as key determinants of entrepreneurial intention in higher education institutions
Authors: Sandoval-Álvarez Carlos
Published: January 2024

This article examines how a business school's environment encourages the formation of entrepreneurial intentions among its students. Building on insights from the theory of planned behaviour and the business event model, a structural equation model was applied on a sample of 283 Costa Rican university students. The main results of the study suggest that the entrepreneurial training provided by the business school contributes to improve students' entrepreneurial intentions. However, this effect develops through an indirect mechanism: that is, entrepreneurial training positively influences students’ attitudes toward entrepreneurship which, in turn, impact students’ perception on entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The proposed model rooted in cognitive frameworks allows business schools, and higher education institutions in general, to measure and evaluate the effectiveness of their entrepreneurial training programs in promoting entrepreneurial intentions.

Published: January 2024

The "minjung" tradition is one of the beliefs of the people of Tanjung Pura village, Pengandonan subdistrict, Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) district. Meanwhile, according to the term "minjung" tradition is serving food out of gratitude for achieving the goal and praying for the spirits of deceased ancestors. The community usually carries out this minjung tradition, namely after the rice harvest, before weddings and before Eid al-Fitr. Then, to examine the research, we carried out investigations through field observations and interviews with several sources. From this research it can be concluded that the procedures for implementing the minjung tradition are providing dishes in the form of food before carrying out the tradition, reading Surah al-Fatihah, continuing to read Surah Al-Ikhlas, Surah Al-falaq, Surah An-Nas, Surah Al-Baqarah 1-5, And continued praying. According to Customary Law, the implementation of this tradition must be carried out because people believe that if it is not implemented, undesirable things will happen, whereas according to Islamic Law, if the food served is used as an offering to the spirits of ancestors/ancestors, then it is Urf fasid, that is, it is not permitted by law. It is Haram, and if the food is served as a form of gratitude to Allah for what has been achieved and so that the future will be even better, then Urf Sahih applies, that is, it is permissible, then the law is Sunnah.

Case Number 0779/Pdt.G/2019/PA.Pwt is interesting to discus because int his case, the applicant's first wife allowed her husband to practice polygamy despite the fact that she can carry out her obligations as a wife, give birth, and she is not disabled or suffering from an incurable disease ( as the conditions contained in the Compilation of Islamic Law). The purpose of this paper is to examine the maslaha of the first wife in allowing polygamy. This research is classified as normative legal research, with a case study approach and some literature reviews derived from laws and regulations, books, official documents, journals, and research findings. The data sources used in this research are primary, secondary, and tertiary data sources. This research shows that the judge's consideration is based on the main reason of the applicant, husband, for asking polygamy because his wife is deemed unable to fulfill his Biological needs regularly which only fulfill for once or twice per week. Because of this, the court argue that the applicant’s proposal for polygamy has satisfied the provisions of Article 4 paragraph (2) letter A of Law No. 1 year 1974 concerning Marriage which is in line with the provisions of Article 57 letter A Compilation of Islamic. From the gender analysis, the decision did not show justice for the respondent, it was normal for biological relations to be fulfilled twice in one week, but the judge did not see the side of the applicant who experienced hypersex, however, the respondent still stated that he did not mind polygamy.

Published: January 2024

Every transaction should be conducted in writing to avoid disputes in the future. However, many still engage in verbal transactions based on trust and honesty, as seen in the wage system for rubber tappers in Betung Village. The main focus of this research is to examine the implementation of the wage system for rubber tappers in Betung II Village. The research objective is to assess the wage system for rubber tappers in Betung II Village from the perspective of Sharia Economic Law. The research methodology used is field research, conducted directly in the field, specifically in Betung II Village, Lubuk Keliat District, Ogan Ilir Regency. The research utilizes qualitative data with both primary and secondary sources. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. Data is analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques. The findings reveal that the wage system for rubber tappers in Betung II Village is divided into two methods: a flat-rate system and a percentage system. Both systems begin with verbal agreements between the landowner and the rubber tapper, without witnesses. To date, no disputes have arisen among the parties. In Sharia Economic Law, this system fulfills the pillars and conditions of ijarah. The determination of wages also aligns with the principles of feasibility and virtue, except for the principle of justice. In the context of Sharia Economic Law, this study falls under istihsan bi al-urf, meaning istihsan based on customary practices.
Artificial Intelligence and the Law: The Use of Artificial Intelligence as a Tool to Assist Judges in Deciding Polygamy Cases
Authors: Maliki Ibnu Akbar , Ali Zezen Zainul , Khusaini Muhammad
Published: January 2024

This research aims to discuss the relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and law. The emergence of the idea of using AI as a tool to analyse judges' decisions has generated mixed responses. On the one hand, the use of AI can be used as a tool to objectively ensure legal certainty, but on the other hand the use of AI can displace the legal supremacy of judges in court. This attracts the author's attention to examine the use of AI in analysing legal cases and as a consideration for judges in deciding polygamy cases. Polygamy itself is a very complex case in court. Judges' considerations in deciding polygamy cases do not only consider procedural aspects, but also involve substantial aspects related to the cumulative and alternative conditions of polygamy. As a chatbot-based platform, AI certainly has limited access in analysing the legal complexity in polygamy cases. This research focuses on the analysis of AI in analysing polygamy cases both in terms of legal basis and justice.  This research method is normative with a conceptual legal approach, data is obtained by netnography using the ChatGPT/OpenAi platform and analysed using the content analysis method. The results showed that there were two aspects that were considered by the judge in the AI version of the polygamy case. First, the juridical aspect which is based on the polygamy provisions in the Compilation of Islamic Law. The second aspect is the social aspect based on gender justice. In addition to presenting the essence of several laws and regulations, AI also provides complex social analyses with a gender justice perspective with simple and straightforward sentences. However, this does not mean that AI can be an absolute and stand-alone consideration in polygamy licence cases. AI is only a complement that makes it easier for judges to analyse cases. This is because the judge's involvement in cognitive and psychological aspects is still needed in interacting with litigants in court.

Men of the House : the Construction of Masculinity in British Period Drama Television Series Since 2010
Authors: Seeliger Henriette-Juliane
Published: January 2024

As current debates in Western societies show, traditional gender roles are changing fast, and we see ourselves confronted with questions that transcend the division of roles between men and women, questioning the binary division of gender and even of biological sex. Yet, while old ideas of masculinity and femininity are losing their relevance and foundations, the allegedly conservative genre of the period drama is at least as popular as ever – if not more, as the global success of series like Downton Abbey shows. This book sets out to answer the question whether the most recent representatives of this genre, namely Downton Abbey (2010-2015), Mr Selfridge (2013-2016) and Upstairs Downstairs (2010-2012), nostalgically idealize times of seemingly clear-cut gender divisions, or whether they propose new conceptualizations of masculinity for the future. Several discursive strands that explicitly thematise masculinity run through all three series: The home and the role of the patriarch as ‘man of the house,’ the role of war, the body, and trauma for masculinities, the role as breadwinner and entrepreneur, and the relationship between the sexes as well as fatherhood. These are analysed using the methods of (multimodal) critical discourse analysis and social semiotics, combined with elements of spatial and subject theory. The results of this detailed analysis show the extent to which our current understanding of historical masculinities is used to either deconstruct or affirm modern masculinity.

Authors: Stevens Madelyn N. , Kejner Alexandra E.
Published: January 2024

As rates of oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer (OPSCC) increase and patients survive longer, the number of patients with recurrence will also increase. Surgery is the primary tool for the management of locoregional recurrence when feasible, and transoral robotic surgery (TORS) techniques are a useful adjunct in effectively managing these cases. Careful patient selection, surgical planning, a thoughtful reconstructive plan, and postoperative supportive therapy are crucial for adequate oncologic and functional outcomes.

Authors: Shojaeian Ali , Nakhaie Mohsen , Amjad Zahra Sobhi , Boroujeni Armin Khaghani , Shokri Somayeh , Mahmoudvand Shahab
Published: January 2024

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is categorized among the most common primary malignant liver cancer and a primary global cause of death from cancer. HCC tends to affect males 2-4 times more than females in many nations. The main factors that raise the incidence of HCC are chronic liver diseases, hepatotropic viruses like hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, exposure to toxins like aflatoxin, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Among these, hepatitis B and C are the most prevalent causes of chronic hepatitis globally. Metformin, which is made from a naturally occurring compound called galegine, derived from the plant Galega officinalis (G. officinalis ), has been found to exhibit antitumor effects in a wide range of malignancies, including HCC. In fact, compared to patients on sulphonylureas or insulin, studies have demonstrated that metformin treatment significantly lowers the risk of HCC in patients with chronic liver disease. This article will first describe the molecular mechanism of hepatitis B and C viruses in the development of HCC. Then, we will provide detailed explanations about metformin, followed by a discussion of the association between metformin and hepatocellular carcinoma caused by the viruses mentioned above.

The paper presents a comparative analysis of the motives and approaches towards promoting aid policy in Africa by the Popular Republic of China (PRC) and France, specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic. France is a traditional donor and a historically influential player in Africa. China is considered a relatively new actor in the region, which influence is constantly growing, thus, creating research interest. The article considers both general and separate specific aid policy directions: common partnership programs of PRC and France with African countries, forms of international cooperation between the countries and Chinese and French pandemic containment and mitigation initiatives. The results of the study demonstrate that Africa is the region of the highest priority for the aid policies of both China and France on the key parameters. Both countries focus on the development of African countries, they just see the process differently. France uses the historical ties and development goals (such as combating global inequality) as an advantage for its positioning in the region whereas China talks about the community of interests of developing countries in South–South cooperation and UN sustainable development goals. In addition, China includes concessional loans into aid policy and also promotes its foreign policy concepts (e.g. ‘community of common destiny’). At the same time, both countries are interested in the economic benefits of their aid (in particular, in access to natural resources). Conceptual differences in the basic approaches of the PRC and France to understanding aid policy lead to significant practical differences in the aid structure and the formats for policies implementation by the two states.

Teaching English Components To Young Learners
Authors: Kurniasih Siwi Karmadi
Published: January 2024

Teaching English for children requires thoughtful considerations of what and how to teach. It needs full considerations such as what components of the language should be taught, what method should be applied, and what teaching technique should be employed.Teaching English components i.e. grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, a teacher must take the nature of children learning into account. Teaching vocabulary, teacher should plan and organize the material to learn carefully. Concrete objects should come before the abstract ones. Teaching vocabulary is not only about teaching words as separate units but formulaic chunks. In addition, teaching strategies play an important role in children's learning success.Learning grammar is closely related to learning vocabulary. When children learn vocabulary through learning formulaic chunks, the teacher can discuss the grammar too. One important thing that teacher should bear in her mind is that the opportunity to use the language in a meaning-focused situation is as important as learning the grammatical patterns.The other language component to learn is pronunciation. As the other components, teaching pronunciation to young learners also need thoughtful consideration. Normally native speakers say an expression in blended sounds. They will not say each word clearly as separate unit. Hence, teachers should drill students to say expressions and guide students to feel and experience saying them in normal and natural way.

Authors: Ikasari Wipsar Siwi Dona
Published: January 2024

This paper examines major historical and political events during New Order Era (Suharto's regime) and the Reformation Era. These two eras have shaped and continue to shape ethnic and religious identities of Indonesian in contemporary Indonesia. Using four conceptual frameworks of gender, ethnicity, religion and schooling, individual and collective experiences of Indonesian schoolgirls are scrutinized. Indonesian schoolgirls negotiate ethnic and religious practices and traditions as well as global flows of culture, creating new identities. Local cultures are capable of negotiating with the global flows which creates hybridity (Nilan & Feixa, 2006). Nilan's (2006) study in Indonesia shows that Muslim youth in Indonesia can negotiate their Muslimness with the global flows. With several high schools in Indonesia currently pioneering a program of being one of an 'international standard senior high school' to improve education quality and competitiveness in senior high school level, both nationally and internationally, schoolgirls in Indonesia continue to negotiate their identities producing 'hybrid' identities.
