Authors: Panjaitan Pola S.T. , Aripudin Aripudin , Yuliawati Indri , Nurpalah Siti
Published: June 2024

Fish bone meal is a product by preserving the fish bone in dry form followed by milling it into powder. Siomay is a food originating from China which is usually served by steaming or frying. This food is usually enjoyed along with tea (yam cha). Siomay, as one type dimsum is widely sold in Chinese restaurants and street vendors in Indonesia. The processing steps of making siomay with the addition of tilapia fish bone meal (Oreochromis niloticus) such as receiving of raw material, separating the bones from the meat, washing 1, boiling the fish bones, cutting the bones, drying the bones, grinding the bones, sieving the fish bone meal, kneading, molding followed by steaming and draining. The aim of this study was to describe the process of making siomay with the addition of tilapia fish bone and to describe the hedonic value and proximate value with different formulations. Formulations of fish bone meals were divided into four groups such as F1 (as a control), without any addition of fish bone meal, F2 6%, F3 7% and F4 12%. The hedonic values showed the panellists mostly liked the formulation of F1 with the addition of 6% of fish bone meal. Characteristics of proximate values of F1 resulted in the water content being 66.95%, fat content being 4.5%, protein content being 5.35% and ash content being 5.77%.

This article explores rhotacisation in Beijing Mandarin and its use in the popular 2015 Chinese web series Counterattack! (Nìxí zhi Àishàng Qíngdí), notable for its viral success in China despite overt homosexual representation. Research on sociolinguistic variation among professionals in Beijing has identified Beijing rhotacisation (the r-colouring of syllable codas) as indexing a local male persona historically linked to fluidity of conversation: the ‘Smooth Operator’. The current analysis builds on this claim to suggest that rhotacisation may also be used to evaluate and display sexual knowledge. The use of rhotacisation in Counterattack! stylistically incorporates ‘Smooth Operator’-imbued meanings of conversational dexterity into a new social persona: the ‘Sexual Modern’. The analysis suggests that this variable – previously discussed as indexing a local urban masculinity – has now also become indexical of sexual modernity.
Male product endorsers and the embodiment of modern Thai masculinities in skincare advertisements
Authors: Saisuwan Pavadee
Published: June 2024

As male endorsement in advertising continues to expand, and alternative forms of masculinity emerge in Asia and elsewhere, this article asks how skincare advertisements in Bangkok participate in these worldwide trends and how different forms of masculinity are represented and embodied in such advertising. The article analyses skincare advertising signs – banal sexed signs that form a significant part of Bangkok’s linguistic landscape – through the lens of social semiotics. The analysis reveals the use of both a more stereotypical form of masculinity associated with male heterosexuality and the ‘new man’, a masculinity associated with a ‘softer’ personality and Asian beauty trends. Important components contributing to the latter image include depictions of ‘feminine touch’ and multilingual texts. The findings illustrate how the new man serves as an important marketing tool, promoting not only a particular masculinity but also a modern, middle-class lifestyle.
Leachability and transport of metal(loid)s from contaminated land: Geochemical processes and health risks
Authors:   , Uddh Söderberg Terese
Published: June 2024

Heavy metal contamination of land poses severe risks to human health and the environment on a global scale. This thesis aims, firstly, to fill knowledge gaps regarding the general risk of metals spreading from contaminated soil into local groundwater across Sweden. Secondly, it addresses the conditions affecting metal solubility and migration into groundwater specifically around Swedish glassworks sites. To understand the spread of metal from contaminated soil, detailed geochemical studies of the main study object (Pukeberg glasswork) were conducted. These studies complemented analyses of metal solubility in the waste zone with analyses of the underlying soil. We found that high metal concentrations in soil alone are generally not reliable indicators of the risk of groundwater contamination. For instance, the investigated glassworks sites are examples where generic risk assessment models would predict a significant deterioration in groundwater quality, but this is not actually the case. Despite high concentrations and a high leachability of the waste zone material at Pukeberg, metal cations are efficiently immobilized in the natural soil underneath the source. Anions have a higher leachability, but are also retained close to the source area. The geochemical model used, however, had clear difficulties in predicting the observed solubility of most metal(loid)s, and was thus unable to fully uncover the processes behind the observed retention/solubility of metals. Our results underscore the necessity of developing methods and understanding which adsorbent phases are most influential under different scenarios. The thesis also assesses the risks associated with consumption of vegetables grown near glassworks sites, or drinking water from private wells. The results showed that concentrations of As, Cd and Pb in vegetables were moderately elevated in glassworks villages, but still high enough to result in a daily intake of As and Cd above toxicological values for high-exposure individuals. Regarding drinking water exposure, As was the only metal out of five (As, Cd, Sb, Ba, Pb) that resulted in an intake above tolerable levels for high-exposure individuals, but this was not because of As concentrations in drinking water being elevated relative regional background concentrations, but rather because of the low doses that are tolerated for this element.
Early Christian prophetesses in the New Testament
Authors: Kubiś Adam
Published: June 2024

This article presents a characterization of several women identified explicitly in the New Testament as prophetesses: (1) Philip’s daughters in Acts 21:9; and (2) the prophetesses in the community in Corinth mentioned in 1 Corinthians 11:5 and 14:34-35. The article highlights the historical and theological context of their activity and defines the content and object of Christian prophecy. The presentation of these two groups of prophetesses points out the major exegetical problems presented by the text, and contemporary attempts to resolve them.
The vein of gold. In search of a methodological renewal of dogmatics based on the reading of Lech Wołowski’s book entitled “The problematics of paradox in the thought of Henri de Lubac and Hans Urs von Balthasar”
Authors: Smuniewski Cezary
Published: June 2024

This study is presented in the form of a research-review article and consists of reflections informed by a reading of Lech Wołowski’s monograph “The Problematics of Paradox in the Thought of Henri de Lubac and Hans Urs von Balthasar”, while simultaneously drawing from other works by the same researcher. The aim of this article is to present the paradox method as a means to deepen theological research. This method is portrayed as a proposition that can be applied in theological research, much like in other scientific domains. This approach may contribute to addressing the contemporary crisis in dogmatics and serve in formulating responses to current “profound” questions posed by individuals and society.
John Paul II and Benedict XVI’s concern for the protection of the faithful against the most serious crimes, with particular emphasis on the sexual abuse of minors committed by clergy
Authors: Trojanowski Bartosz
Published: June 2024

The problem of dealing justly and efficiently with the most serious crimes in the Church after the promulgation of the Code of Canon Law in 1983 became the concern of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, later Benedict XVI, and John Paul II. Their cooperation and the decisions of Benedict XVI, as a continuation of the path started, laid the foundations for the creation of a system of canonical criminal law capable of responding properly and effectively to the most serious crimes committed by the faithful in the Church. The introduction of a clear scope of competence for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the definition of a longer limitation period, the possibility of revoking it, the centralization of procedural steps, entrusting them to qualified personnel, enabling the control of the action of individual superiors are very concrete legal solutions that confirm the teaching of the Church and the definite statements of the two Popes on the protection of the most vulnerable in the Church from the immense harm of sexual abuse that some clerics could commit against them. The article presents and discusses concrete legal solutions and relates them with the teachings and attitudes of the two popes towards protecting minors in the Church. It is an attempt to argue for the defense of their good names and to oppose the unfounded accusations made against these two authorities.

Na podstawie teologicznej analizy apokaliptycznej doktryny pierwotnego Kościoła i Apokalipsy św. Jana, autor proponuje metodę przeciwdziałania lękom ludzi XXI wieku. Lekiem na wszystkie lęki jest nadzieja, która stanowi element konstytutywny chrześcijańskiego myślenia apokaliptycznego.
“O FUNDAMENTAL É MANTER A APRENDIZAGEM”
Authors: Mello Bruna , Ximenes Salomão
Published: June 2024

O trabalho adota como ponto de partida os distintos modelos organizacionais que operam sobre as escolas e sua relação com a dimensão normativa das políticas – modelos decretados, interpretados, recriados e praticados, que se articulam em uma complexa relação de legitimação, adesão e infidelidades normativas no cotidiano das instituições, aplicando tal referencial à análise das políticas curriculares do município de São Paulo durante a crise pandêmica de COVID-19, estruturadas a partir do Currículo da Cidade. Analisou-se desde documentos de caráter normativo gerais e locais até depoimentos sobre práticas, através de entrevistas com educadoras das escolas pesquisadas. A análise foi organizada em quatro vertentes de implementação das políticas curriculares: projeto político-pedagógico da escola (PPP), formação de professores, materiais didáticos e avaliação. Assim, considerando o debate acerca das reformas gerenciais na educação, o presente trabalho pretende analisar as práticas mobilizadas nas escolas a partir das orientações normativas específicas emanadas em 2020 e 2021. Com enfoque na compreensão da noção de “objetivos de aprendizagem”, discute-se, a partir da literatura, as implicações disso nas políticas curriculares implantadas no Brasil tendo como campo de análise as orientações curriculares do município de São Paulo e a forma que essas orientações mobilizaram a organização escolar, afetando a noção de Educação e de gestão escolar em tempos de crise.
COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS ANALYSIS OF TRANSIENT CONJUGATED FORCED CONVECTION IN MINIPIPES WITH TIME-DEPENDENT PERIODICAL CONVECTION BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
Authors: Havva Demirpolat , Saim Koçak
Published: June 2024

A computational analysis is submitted for the two-dimensional transient conjugate heat transfer problem. The periodic problem was solved under the heat flux boundary condition outside. The thick-walled pipe is assumed to have two regions. Both regions are infinite in length. Initially an isothermal condition is defined in the upstream region with hydrodynamically developed flow, and sinusoidal change in a time fluid medium is defined by the external surface of pipes in the downstream region. The convection problem with axial fluid conduction was analyzed simultaneously for fluid and solid media. Significant heat is transferred to the upstream region, which preheats the fluid. Heat transfer characteristics change periodically with outside fluid temperature, but these characteristics are the same for all axial positions at steady periodic state conditions. Net heat transfer value is zero at this period. The angular frequency and five dimensionless parameters characterize the flow regime in terms of axial and radial conduction and convection heat transfer characteristics significantly.
Adventive Weevils Recorded from North America: A Review and Illustrated Manual for their Identification (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea, Excluding Scolytinae)
Authors: Hoebeke E. Richard , LaBonte James R. , Loeffer Kent E.
Published: June 2024

This book provides a comprehensive and current synopsis of adventive species of the Coleoptera superfamily Curculionoidea (weevils) reliably recorded from North America (continental USA and Canada). As of the date of this publication, in North America, 204 species in 120 genera, four families, 21 subfamilies, and 62 tribes are reported as adventive, constituting about 6.2% of the continental fauna of the Curculionoidea. One hundred eighty-two species are recorded from the USA overall while 117 species are listed from Canada. Eighty-seven species are recorded only from the USA, 22 species only from Canada, and 95 species are shared between both countries. One hundred seventy-two species are considered immigrant, or accidental arrivals (including nine species thought to represent range extensions from the Neotropics into the extreme southern USA), and 32 species were intentionally introduced as biocontrol agents against invasive weeds. One species, Otiorhynchus crataegi Germar, is newly recorded from North America. In North America, the family Curculionidae (true weevils) comprises the greatest number of adventive species (188, 92.2%) while the primitive weevil families Anthribidae, Belidae, and Brentidae together include 16 adventive species, 7.8% of the total. Of the 15 subfamilies of Curculionidae with adventive species, most are found in just three subfamilies, the Entiminae (62), the Curculioninae (30), and the Ceutorhynchinae (25). Most adventive weevils in North America originate from the Palearctic Region (148, 78.7%), followed by the Neotropical Region (36, 19.1%), Australasian Region (9, 4.8%), Asian Region (9, 4.8%), and Afrotropical Region (2, 1.1%). A synopsis for each species, including common names, taxonomic notes, general appearance, diagnosis, distribution, hosts, and selected references, is provided, and each is illustrated with high-resolution color habitus images. Two tables summarize the adventive fauna, including dates of first detection, region of origin, and distributional status. Sixteen images of morphological structures are also given. In addition to the 204 adventive species (including nine range extensions), another 20 species, currently not known to occur in North America but recognized as serious threats based on their economic significance as major pests of agricultural crops in their native and introduced ranges, are also reviewed and illustrated.
On the influence of the shearing rate on the monotonic and cyclic response of Malaysian kaolin
Authors: Covilla Elvis , Mašín David , Duque Jose , Najser Jan , Roháč Jakub
Published: June 2024

This paper experimentally evaluates the influence of shearing rate on the monotonic and cyclic response of isotropically consolidated samples of Malaysian kaolin. On the one hand, a series of undrained monotonic triaxial tests were performed with varying shearing displacement rate. On the other hand, undrained cyclic triaxial tests were conducted considering different deviatoric stress amplitudes and loading frequencies. The well-known soil rate dependency under monotonic loading was confirmed up to a displacement rate threshold. The experimental results under cyclic loading suggest that for the given loading frequency, the variation of the deviatoric stress amplitude remarkably influences the strains and pore water pressure accumulation rates. In addition, the results suggest that, depending on the loading frequency, different shapes of mobilised effective stress loops are obtained. Larger loading frequencies lead to banana-shaped effective stress loops, while smaller frequencies reproduce eight-shaped effective stress loops. Furthermore, higher loading frequencies result in a larger number of cycles required to reach failure conditions. The reasons for the observed differences in the behaviour are thoroughly analysed and discussed.

Introduction: This study aimed to examine the echo morphometry of the uterus in pubescent girls in Lomé and its potential relationship with essential dysmenorrhoea. Essential dysmenorrhoea, characterized by menstrual pain without identifiable causes, affects a significant portion of young women. Methodology: This was a preliminary, prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study performed over six months in the anatomy laboratory of the University of Lomé (Togo), at a teaching hospital Campus and in a school in Lomé. The study was based on a convenience sample of 100 pubescent, nulligravid pupils aged between 13 and 18 years with no pelvic surgery history. Results: Dysmenorrhea was noted in 60% of cases. No abnormality of uterine shape or structure was observed. In seven percent of cases, uterine malposition’s such as retroflection and retroversion were noted. There was a statistically significant correlation between uterine retroflection and the occurrence of dysmenorrhoea. The values of the biometric parameters tended to increase in girls with dysmenorrhoea. Conclusion: To corroborate the results of the aforementioned preliminary work, a subsequent study on the same sample using a more objective means of exploration than ultrasound is necessary.

Fetus in fetu is a rare anomaly seen in 1 in 500,000 births. It presents as a retroperitoneal mass which may remain unnoticed till later age. We present two interesting cases of fetus in fetu (FIF), its diagnosis, treatment, and histological findings. The first case was ten-month-old male baby who presented with symptoms and was diagnosed pre-operatively as FIF, later confirmed by postoperative radiograph and histology. The second case was six-month-old female child diagnosed as having a mass suggestive of teratoma in retroperitoneum and the diagnosis of FIF was made intra and postoperatively. We conclude that FIF is a benign retroperitoneal mass having varied presentation and may be confused with teratoma. Advances in diagnostic modalities have made it possible to diagnose this condition prenatally. Surgical excision is curative with good outcome. Histology can confirm the diagnosis as it is important to differentiate FIF from teratoma which has malignant potential.

Background: The literature documents variations in the branching pattern of aortic arches. If not identified at the right time, these variations may lead to complications during cardiovascular surgeries or invasive procedures like angiography. Surgeons working around these variations must be well-oriented. Methodology: the present study was conducted on 103 formalin-fixed cadavers, and their branching pattern was noted. Results: We observed five different branching patterns in the arch of the aorta. The classical three-vessel branching pattern was noted in 70.87% of cadavers. The next common pattern was two branches arising from the arch, with the brachiocephalic trunk and left common carotid artery sharing a common origin. The left subclavian artery originated as a separate branch from the arch. Conclusion: Around 30% of Indian individuals may show variant branching patterns of the aortic arch. This should be considered during angiography, aortic instrumentation, supra-aortic thoracic, head and neck surgery, etc. This may prevent possible complications during surgeries.

Published: June 2024

Background: The temporomandibular joint plays a crucial role in daily oral functions like mastication. A comprehensive understanding of the histological components of these joints proves valuable in deciphering their intricate anatomical structures. Purpose of the study: This study aimed to compare the histochemical stains of hematoxylin-eosin and Goldner's trichrome applied to a temporomandibular joint sample using the Wistar Rat as a biomodel. Results: Complete sagittal slices of murine biomodel hemicranium were evaluated and the comprehensive histological technique involved various steps, including perfusion, post-fixation, decalcification, dehydration, clarification, inclusion, cutting, staining, and assembly. The temporomandibular joint specimens were stained using H&E and Goldner's trichrome. The histological description included structures such as the external auditory canal, mandibular fossa and condyle, pterygoid muscles, joint capsule, synovial membrane, articular disc, and articular surface. Special cell types like chondrocytes and synovial cells were also identified. Conclusion: Goldner's trichrome, an underutilized technique, exhibited superior chromatic richness in differentiating the cellular and tissue components of the temporomandibular joint.

Background: Early clinical exposure (ECE) is an educational approach that introduces medical students to clinical settings and patient interactions during the early stages of their training. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom and practical skills required in clinical practice. This study aims to assess the attitude of MBBS students towards implementing ECE modules in their 1st professional year subjects. Methods: This study was conducted amongst MBBS students of 2nd (Batch 2020-2021) and 3rd (Batch 2019-2020) professional years, who have undergone full 90 hours of ECE module of all three preclinical subjects in their 1st year. The perception of students toward ECE was assessed using 5-point Likert scale responses through a validated feedback questionnaire. Results: 43% of students strongly agreed that the implementation of the ECE module changed their perspective on learning pre-clinical subjects. 44.7% strongly agreed that the hours allotted to each subject were satisfying. 48.5% strongly agreed that ECE teaching method helped them sensitize to the clinical setting. 46.6% strongly agreed that ECE helped them better assimilate knowledge on the topic. 44% strongly agreed that the technique will better equip them to apply the knowledge when the opportunity arises. 43.4% strongly agreed that the training method in ECE has enhanced their knowledge than before the module's implementation. Conclusion: This study's findings suggest that MBBS students have been positively received by implementing Early Clinical Exposure (ECE) modules in the first professional year subjects. The ECE technique will better equip medical students to apply their knowledge in clinical scenarios, indicating the potential effectiveness of ECE in bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical application in clinical practice. These results underscore the importance of incorporating ECE modules into medical education curricula to enhance student learning experiences and prepare future healthcare professionals for clinical practice.

Authors: Bulut Selma , Korkmaz Adem
Published: June 2024

The rapid growth of Android devices has led to increased security concerns, especially from malicious software. This study extensively compares machine-learning algorithms for effective Android malware detection. Traditional models, such as random forest (RF) and support vector machines (SVM), alongside advanced approaches, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) and XGBoost, were evaluated. Leveraging the NATICUSdroid dataset containing 29,332 records and 86 traces, the results highlight the superiority of RF with 97.1% and XGBoost with 97.2% accuracy. However, evolving malware and real-world unpredictability require a cautious interpretation. Promising as they are, our findings stress the need for continuous innovation in malware detection to ensure robust Android user security and data integrity.

Authors: Nkolimwa Dominic
Published: June 2024

Purpose- This study aimed to analyze the influence of social media on Tanzanian higher learning students’ performance. It specifically examined the influence of social media on students' academic performance.
Methodology- The multiple regression analysis was used to analyze data collected from the Institute of Social Work where 94 questionnaires were involved in the field.
Findings- Three hypotheses were tested and results demonstrated that the Benefit of Using Social Media and Academic Performance (BUSM) and the Effect of Using Social Media and Academic Performance (EUSM) have a positive influence on both dimensions of academic performance while Awareness of Time Wastage on Social Media (ATWSM) reviled that there is no relationship with students’ academic performance.
Conclusion- Therefore, this article concludes that despite the significant influence of social media, students should make proper use of social media to improve academic performance.

Ingredients of food, especially sugar and starch at high-temperature cooking processes could lead to the formation of acrylamide (AA). This chemical is a harmful carcinogen, a neurotoxicant, a reproductive toxicant, and a carcinogen in animal species. However, the detection of acrylamide contamination in food goes unnoticed. In this work, the mouse monoclonal antibody in the form of a single chain variable fragment (scFv) specific to acrylamide was selected from the murine scfv (muscfv) phage-displayed library. Acrylamide (AA) was used as an antigen for bio-panning. The murine single-chain variable fragment (MuscFv) antibody specific to acrylamide in coffee was successfully constructed, which was determined by ELISA and HPLC. Currently, this is the first study, which describes the selection of antibodies against acrylamide from the muscfv phage-displayed library and could be used as a tool for the detection of acrylamide in coffee.
Isolation and Characterization of Tissue and Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles and Non-Vesicular Extracellular Particles v2
Authors: Garcia Contreras Marta , Chatterjee Emeli
Published: June 2024

Cells produce a heterogeneous complement of extracellular biomolecular complexes,including extracellular vesicles (EVs) and non-vesicular extracellular particles(NVEPs). EVs are lipid bilayer-enclosed membrane particles released by cells. NVEPsare recently discovered amembranous small multimolecular assemblies with distinctRNA and protein cargoes. EVs and NVEPs are released by most cell types and canbe found in biological fluids. Both types of extracellular complexes contain uniquecargo and have important biological functions. Due to their great potential asdiagnostic tools, there is a growing interest in being able to identify and characterizetissue- and cell- derived EVs and NVEPs. Here we described protocols for isolatingEVs by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) or an ultracentrifugation method tosimultaneously isolate EVs and NVEPs from conditioned media supernatant followingtissue or cell culture. In addition, we describe microfluidic resistive pulse sensing,vesicle flow cytometry, and immunoblotting methods for their characterization.

Published: June 2024

The asymmetric epoxidation of R-(+)-limonene in the presence of the Jacobsen´s catalyst in its chiral and achiral either homogeneous or heterogeneous (immobilized on Al-MCM-41) forms was studied using in situ generated dimethyldioxirane as oxidizing agent. It was found that the catalytic activity of the chiral and achiral forms of the Jacobsen´s catalyst was very similar either homogeneous or heterogeneous. This result suggests that the preferential formation of cis-(+)-1,2-limonene oxide depends not only on the catalyst chiral center, but also on the substrate chiral center. This represents a clear advantage from the economical point of view since the achiral catalyst is much less expensive than its chiral counterpart.
A sampling plan for residentially generated solid waste quantification at urban zones of middle sized cities

Published: June 2024

We propose a sampling plan intended for medium size cities. The proposed plan begins with a two-stage pilot plan, which helped us to obtain a better estimation of the final sample size when a ratio estimator is used. The sampling primary unit is the block side, followed by the houses as secondary units. From a sampling frame made of block sides, we pick a sample of block sides looking for a 5% sampling error with a 95% confidence level. We choose the houses to be included in the sample once we have identified within each block side those houses considered suitable for the study (those houses used exclusively as a place to live in). The identification is reached through a sensitization visit on which we make a rough draft of the block side in order to identify on it the suitable houses. The goal is to show the sampling plan design as well as its implementation. We suggest this plan as a working method for quantification of solid waste generation at similar size cities around the world, especially on developing countries.

The purpose of this research is to analyze whether knowledge management has a significant influence on the organizational effectiveness of public institutions and private firms. To this effect it was worked with a sample of 146 organizations of an emerging country. Results show that the explanatory power of knowledge management on the organizational performance is a 45.8% in case of private firms and a 56.5% in the case of public institutions. In a similar way, in the case of private firms, every stage of knowledge management namely, create, share and apply knowledge in the top management teams, having a significant impact on the performance. Instead, in public institutions performance basically incides by stages of knowledge creation and application in the top management teams.

Universities globally utilise social media platforms to disseminate information to prospective students. However there's a scarcity of research regarding the role of social media in promoting universities as international education hubs, especially in Asia. This study aims to investigate the impact of social media in promoting Asian universities, focusing on the preferences and behaviours of prospective undergraduate students from Malaysia and Indonesia. A qualitative research approach was employed, involving the recruitment of 12 undergraduate students from both countries. Data collection was conducted through online, in-depth, and semi-structured interviews. The majority of participants rely on social media platforms to gather information about potential universities and courses, citing ease of navigation and appeal compared to traditional websites and other platforms. However, universities demonstrate a lack of engagement with users, hindering the acquisition of comprehensive information about the institution. These findings offer valuable insights for universities to understand the information and social media elements that prospective students commonly seek on social media platforms. Additionally, they provide guidance on effective strategies for engaging with and recruiting students. Ultimately, this research may assist universities in better promoting themselves as international education institutions, particularly in the Asian context.
