Buddha and nature as depicted in Aśvaghoṣa’s buddhacarita
Authors:   Bhikkhuni Thanh Nha (Nguyen Thi Minh Phuong)
Published: August 2023

This paper emphasizes the deep interdependence of nature and the Buddha as depicted in Buddhacarita of Aśvaghoṣa Bodhisattva. The text contends that the Buddha was inextricably linked with the natural world throughout his life. Nature is the Buddha's ally in the path to enlightenment, cultivating a deep regard for nature's extraordinary beauty and diversity. The accounts of the Buddha's life in Buddhacarita are difficult to divide between stories, facts, and myths. Many plants, flowers, animals, and trees are linked to Buddha's life story. Animals affected the Buddha's yearning for Nibbāna; observing the suffering of both mankind and animals motivated him to seek enlightenment. Furthermore, the Buddha's relationship with natural events is portrayed as one of the Buddha's vast and amazing traits. This paper employs the literary analysis method on three well-known English translations. The first is The Buddhacarita, or Acts of the Buddha, which E.H. Johnson translated from Sanskrit and augmented with the Tibetan version. The second is E.B. Cowell's translation from Sanskrit titled The Buddhacarita of Aśvaghoṣa. The last is Samuel Beal's translation from Chinese of The Fo-Sho-Hing-Tsan-King. According to the findings, Buddha's life is a remarkable example of the close relationship between humans and nature. It serves as a reminder that human and nonhuman ecosystems are intrinsically linked and intertwined.

Teachers’ Perceptions Toward Video as a Tool for Feedback on Students’ Oral Performance
Authors: Park Jaeuk
Published: August 2023

Video technology has the potential to improve opportunities for students to benefit from feedback that is essential for learning. However, previous studies have all dealt with videos of tutors, rather than videos of students’ performances. This study explores whether video technology contributes to the quality of feedback on students’ oral language performance and investigates how language teachers perceive contemporary technology regarding student education. Participants in the study were eight incumbent teachers involved in language education. The interview data suggested that the teachers seemed to be very positive about using video technology as a tool for feedback. The technology not only allowed for evidence-based accounts which served to enrich the quality of feedback, but also enabled them to highlight specific aspects of oral performances and create feedback that is conducive to understanding. The findings of this study showed that technology-enhanced evidence-based feedback will be able to provide an important supplement to written feedback, adding one more mode for an effective feedback process.

Penafsiran al-Qur’an Retoris di Media Sosial:
Authors: Ghozali Mahbub
Published: August 2023

Technological developments in the media are used by speakers to expand the range of meaning of the Qur'an rhetorically. Meaning is presented interactively to provide an effective impact of understanding by involving persuasive tools in explanatory rhetoric. This study aims to show Adi Hidayat's persuasive mechanism on the Adi Hidayat Official YouTube Channel as the new face of Qur'an interpretation on social media. To achieve this goal, this study uses qualitative methods with content analysis as an analytical tool. The emphasis on the persuasive model in Hidayat's interpretation was identified using the rhetorical approach initiated by Aristotle. This study concluded that the effectiveness of Hidayat's expression was influenced by his appearance as a credible and authoritative figure in the meaning of the Qur'an. This method is strengthened by the selection of arguments to emphasize and strengthen the meaning given properly and legitimately. Meanwhile, the emphasis on a meaning related to law, ethics, and theology utilizes the emotions of the listener with its various functions and goals. The use of various aspects of meaning has an impact on the effectiveness of interpretation on social media dynamically and adaptively.

Published: August 2023

The development of technology creates a new phenomenon in human life, one of which is virtual objects (virtual property). This study aims to find and examine various concepts about virtual objects and the position of virtual objects in the Civil Code. This research is normative legal research, using a conceptual approach and a statutory approach. The data used are primary, secondary and tertiary. The data is analyzed qualitatively. The results show that: (1) The term virtual object is not known in the Civil Code but rather intangible objects because the Civil Code has existed and been in force since May 1, 1948, while the virtual world only developed in 1970.  (2) Virtual objects are categorized as objects because they meet the elements: can be mastered/attached rights by humans, can be captured by the five senses or not, can be valued with money, or economic value, is a unity of owner and object. Because virtual objects are known and exist in the virtual world, one element is added that is formed through the interconnection of computer networks. (3) The position of virtual objects in the Civil Code shall be limited insofar as intangible or disembodied objects are concerned. This is a consequence of a constantly changing society, with rules in that society. Law developed as an alternative that could follow society's development according to its era's needs. (4) Along with legal developments that follow the development of society related to virtual objects, although limited, it has been regulated in several regulations outside the Civil Code, namely Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright and Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions.

Published: August 2023

The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on organizations, necessitating adaptations to ensure business continuity. In light of the new normal working conditions, this study focused on examining employees' work engagement and well-being. The theoretical framework of this study drew upon William Kahn's (1990) work engagement theory and Diener's (1984) theory of subjective well-being. To assess these constructs, the researcher utilized instruments developed by Pradhan and Hati (2019), Prawitz et al. (2006), Rich et al. (2010), Kuok and Taormina (2017), and May et al. (2004), which were distributed to 100 employees working in restaurants in Cagayan de Oro City. A descriptive correlational design was employed, utilizing statistical tools such as frequency, mean, percentage, and standard deviation to determine the level of work engagement and well-being. Additionally, multiple regression analysis was used to identify the factors that predict work engagement. The study's findings revealed that employees demonstrated high levels of well-being and work engagement. Notably, the physical, mental, and emotional dimensions of well-being were the most significant predictors of work engagement. The study highlights the importance of conducting further empirical investigations to examine the impact of employees' financial well-being on their work engagement in the new normal.

Communities of microorganisms that form biofilms on the rocky shores of the Middle Caspian are capable of maintaining the integrity of the coastal landscape in the conditions of sea retreat associated with the ongoing drop in sea level since 1995. Algal-bacterial biofilms developing on rocky substrates of the East Caspian coast within the City of Aktau were studied in autumn (October 2022) and spring (April 2023) seasons. Communities in biotopes with different structure were investigated. It has been established that the most stable and diverse communities with a pronounced vertical structure live in the areas with high sheer cliffs on capes. On flat areas of the coast, which have undergone recent shallowing and are protected from surfing waves by ridges of large stones, less diverse cenoses, demonstrating clear spatial organization. In the shallow open areas of the shore, which are subject to intense wave action, live communities of two types were observed. Both cenoses contained a relatively small number of species, but differed in structure and potential for protecting the coast from erosion. The first of them live in biotopes outside the impact of urban domestic sewage, and are able to protect coastal marl from destruction due to the development of stable, rapidly regenerating complex structural elements. The latter were noted in the conditions of along-shore spreading of untreated domestic wastewater from new city developments located close to the coast. Such biofilms were no longer able to protect marls from being destroyed by waves, and took the form of constantly renewed patches with minimum diversity of components and unstable spatial organization.

Authors: Din Sareer Ud , Khan Muhammad  Azam , Akram Muhammad Tahir
Published: August 2023

The present study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of African marigold (Tagetes erecta) root extract in controlling root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne incognita species and to determine its effectiveness as an intercropped plant on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) morphological and quality traits as well as on soil attributes. The results of the in vivo study revealed that the highest mortality rate (82.33%) of nematodes was observed in T3 treatment (3:1 marigold root extract in distilled water) after 72 hours while minimum egg hatching (9.33) by nematodes was obtained after 12 hours with a similar concentration. Whereas, the pot experiment of intercropping with tomato showed that after 45 days of transplanting, the maximum plant height (79.14 cm), number of leaves (28.22) and leaf area (24.46 cm2) in tomato were obtained in the T3 treatment (Tomato 1 + Marigold 2 + Root knot nematodes (RKN) 1). Similarly, maximum fruit TSS (4.90 °brix) and shelf life (8.67 days) were observed with the same treatment. Concerning root-knot nematode infestation, the maximum number of galls (39.33) and eggs (38.66) on the tomato root system were measured in T4 (Tomato 2 + Marigold 1 + RKN 2). However, the soil analysis of intercropped crops showed that there was no significant impact of marigold and tomato intercropping on soil pH and electrical conductivity, while this intercropping scheme slightly decreased soil nutrient levels.

Results:

At 6 months postoperatively, uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20/20 (0.0 logMAR) in 96% of cases, distance corrected intermediate visual acuity was 20/32 (0.2 logMAR) in all cases (60 cm), and distance corrected near visual acuity was 20/32 (0.2 logMAR) in 60% of cases (40 cm). The patient satisfaction score was 100% based on the Visual Function Index questionnaire for far and intermediate distance, respectively. No patients complained of the permanent photic phenomenon. No patients reported bilateral imbalance. All of the patients became spectacle independent for most of their intermediate activities at 60 cm. A total of 96% of the patients reported 100% contrast sensitivity in the Pelli-Robson test.

Conclusions:

The unilateral implantation of this EDOF IOL seems to be tolerated and effective in improving the visual function of patients with unilateral cataract with limited optical side effects such as halos or glare, providing spectacle-independent vision from far to intermediate object distances.

Real time ultrasound diagnosis of ovarian and pelvic filariasis by filarial dance sign
Authors: BAYASKAR MADHURA VIJAY , BHENDE VIKRANT VISHNU
Published: August 2023

Parasitic infestations of the ovary are quite rare with ovary being the least common site of infection in the female genital tract. Filariasis is a parasitic disease caused by filarial nematodes (Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayai, Brugia timori). It causes lymphatic obstruction with resultant edema and increase in the size of the affected organ. We report a case of 24-year-old married female who presented to our radiology department for ultrasound evaluation with the main aim being to look for retained products of conception after the termination of early pregnancy. However on ultrasound examination ovarian filariasis was an incidental diagnosis with the classical twirling movement (filarial dance sign) seen in one of the follicles of the ovary. Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for detecting the adult filarial worm/microfilaria in the lymphatic system. Ovarian filariasis is a very rare diagnosis with only a handful of cases being reported in literature with most cases being diagnosed incidentally on histopathological examination of the post operative specimen.
Les trajectoires des spécialisations industrielles dans les villes petites et moyennes en France
Authors: Glita Ivan
Published: August 2023

Les villes petites et moyennes sont souvent caractérisées par leur désindustrialisation. En France, l’emploi industriel continue de diminuer à un rythme soutenu, en particulier dans les villes en décroissance. Mais au-delà de ce constat, on observe une recomposition géographique de l’emploi industriel visible à travers l’étude de la spécialisation relative des villes. Grâce aux analyses de trajectoires économiques par appareillement optimal et à l’interprétation d’un indice de spécialisation, nous constatons la résistance de l’emploi industriel dans les villes petites et moyennes, notamment certaines agglomérations en décroissance, ainsi que l’apparition de nouvelles villes spécialisées.
La réindustrialisation des territoires ruraux peu denses ? L’implantation d’un projet ambitieux au défi des proximités
Authors: Ferru Marie , Texier Élodie
Published: August 2023

Face à la réorganisation territoriale et à la compétition accrue entre les territoires, les villes rurales apparaissent particulièrement fragilisées. Nous interrogeons leurs capacités de rebond et l’importance de certaines ressources locales pour le retour d’activités économiques productives. A partir de l’analyse qualitative d’un projet de transformation de produits agroalimentaires biologiques, projet d’initiative privée qui « atterrit » dans une petite commune rurale de la Vienne, nous vérifions les atouts de la petite ville rurale et confirmons l’importance des ressources foncières (à bas coût et de qualité) et de la proximité physique immédiate entre acteurs dans l’émergence d’activités sur ces territoires. Nous soulignons également leur caractère non suffisant, la construction d’une proximité organisée pour une bonne gouvernance et un ancrage territorial du projet apparaissant indispensables.
Nouveaux modèles économiques et renouvellement productif à Romans-sur-Isère : à la recherche de la durabilité territoriale
Authors: Fompérie Florian , Maillefert Muriel
Published: August 2023

Face à la désindustrialisation, la ville de Romans-sur-Isère s’est récemment appuyée sur une stratégie de redéploiement de ses activités autour d’un modèle patrimonialisé. Ce travail s’intéresse à la dimension transformatrice du modèle économique adopté en croisant deux paradigmes : celui des nouveaux modèles économiques et celui de l’économie circulaire. Il s’interroge sur le degré de transformation de ce modèle industriel à travers 5 expérimentations emblématiques. Ces expérimentations servent de point d’appui pour proposer et identifier les caractéristiques d’un modèle innovant. L’analyse permet ainsi de montrer les enjeux d’un changement de modèle vers un modèle sobre et serviciel.
L’image de l’oasis comme matériel de terrain
Authors: Carpentier Irène
Published: August 2023

L’iconographie oasienne est riche et ancienne, mais son usage dans la recherche reste peu explicité. Revenant sur nos terrains de thèse, à Tozeur et Gabès en Tunisie, il s’agit ici d’interroger le rôle de la photo dans la construction de l’imaginaire territorial oasien, et de la recherche sur ces espaces. Matériel de terrain original, la photo dans les oasis constitue une ressource porteuse de discours divers sur le territoire, entre promotion d’un rêve touristique, documentation d’un paysage, ou support de sensibilisation à la dégradation environnementale du milieu. Nous reviendrons notamment sur la réappropriation de l’abondant corpus colonial au service d’une idéalisation des systèmes anciens, puis le processus de constitution d’un corpus « témoin » des dégradations environnementales dans un contexte de dynamisme associatif, et enfin la manière dont la recherche peut mobiliser ce matériel de terrain pour analyser et illustrer la diversité des formes de mise en valeur des territoires.
Evaluating the Future of Technical Education in Indian Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Srivastava Anugamini Priya , Chavare Prasanna Pradeep
Published: August 2023

To cater to the need for a technically qualified workforce, Indian policy-making organizations in the domain of technical education; focused on the quantitative growth of the Technical Education System (TES). The change, in turn, helped increase the availability of the technical workforce but soon became un-controlled; when the supply of the technical force increased continuously, the demand rate reduced. This demand-supply equilibrium shift resulted in unemployment and thus deterred students from persuading technical education. Therefore, almost 50% of the seats in technical institutes are vacant. Therefore, the growth story of Indian TES lacked sustainability and needed qualitative focus. Here, the authors have conducted a systematic literature review to understand the various attributes of sustainability of Indian TES and highlight the future agendas. Stakeholders' perception, Quality Management philosophy, Employability, Management leadership, and Role of accreditation were the key findings of this study having an impact of TES
An Atlas of Grass Carp IgM+ B Cells in Homeostasis and Bacterial Infection Helps to Reveal the Unique Heterogeneity of B Cells in Early Vertebrates

Published: August 2023

Teleost B cells are primitive lymphocytes with both innate and adaptive immune functions. However, the heterogeneity and differentiation trajectory of teleost B cells remain largely unknown. In this study, the landscape of grass carp IgM+ (gcIgM+) B cells was revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing. The results showed that gcIgM+ B cells mainly comprise six populations: (im)mature B cells, innate B cells, proliferating B cells, plasma cells, CD22+ cells, and CD34+ cells, among which innate B cells and proliferating B cells were uncommon B cell subsets with, to our knowledge, new characteristics. Remarkably, three functional IgMs were discovered in grass carp, and a significant percentage of gcIgM+ B cells, especially plasma cells, expressed multiple Igμ genes (Igμ1, Igμ2, and/or Igμ3). More importantly, through single-cell sorting combined with Sanger sequencing, we found that distinct VHDJH recombination patterns of Igμ genes were present in single IgM+ B cells, indicating that individual teleost B cells might produce multiple Abs by coexpressing rearranged IgM subclass genes. Moreover, the percentage of IgM1highIgM2highIgM3high plasma cells increased significantly after bacterial infection, suggesting that individual plasma cells might tend to produce multiple IgMs to resist the infection in teleost fish. In summary, to our knowledge, this study not only helps to uncover the unique heterogeneity of B cells in early vertebrates but also provided significant new evidence supporting the recently proposed “one cell–multiple Abs” paradigm, challenging the classical rule of “one cell–one Ab.”
Parental KAP and its Relation with the Quality of Life in Children with Epilepsy
Authors: Sadanandan Sanithamol A. , Shreedevi Athyadi U. , Padmanabha Hansashree
Published: August 2023

Background:

Epilepsy is a chronic disorder with recurrent unprovoked seizures which can affect children at any age. A child’s quality of life (QOL) is significantly impacted by an epilepsy diagnosis throughout their formative years. Adjustment and QOL for the child and family are highly correlated with parental knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding epilepsy.

Objectives:

Determining the association between parental KAP and the QOL of children with epilepsy (CWE) and to study the association between them.

Materials and Methods:

Using convenience sampling procedure, 30 CWE between the ages of 6 and 14—of either sex—and their 30 parents made up the sample. The knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) tool, which was given to parents, and the Quality of Life in Childhood Epilepsy Questionnaire-55 (QOLCE-55), which was given to CWE, were used to gather the data. Frequency distribution, percentage, and correlation coefficient tests were used to assess the measures.

Results:

There were statistically significant relationships between the QOL and KAP domains and parental education, domicile, and socioeconomic position. The cognitive, emotional, and social domains of QOL were adversely connected with the knowledge domain in KAP, but the physical domain was positively correlated. Parents’ behavior and physical QOL were found to be negatively correlated.

Conclusion:

Although educated parents had sufficient information and a positive outlook, there was a discrepancy between recommended and actual practice, and KAP has an impact on the QOL of CWE. Parental education initiatives may significantly improve understanding and promote healthy behaviors.
