Early initiation of drinking and its consequences: the case of the Czech Republic
Authors: Olecká Ivana , Trochtová Ludmila
Published: January 2024

Background: The WHO European Region has the highest alcohol consumption of all six WHO regions. The research presented here is conducted in the Czech Republic, which has the highest average per capita alcohol consumption in Europe. The problem of alcoholism among children and adults is still not sufficiently perceived by Czech society as a risk and threat to the population's future health. Objective: The research aimed to confirm a relationship between the onset of alcohol consumption at a young age and the amount/frequency of current alcohol consumption. Method: Data analysis was conducted on a representative sample of children aged 6-17 (n= 2948; man:1492; 50,61 %; woman: 1456; 49,39%). Only 36.87% of children in our sample do not drink alcohol at all. 6.28% of children tasted alcohol for the first time before the age of 6. 19.30% tasted alcohol between the ages of 6 and 10, and 38.16% between the ages of 11 and 14. Results: The research confirms the association between early initiation of alcohol consumption and increased risk of binge drinking at older ages. Children who drink alcohol daily start very early. Children who consume alcohol only infrequently start drinking after age 15. Conclusion: The text intends to draw attention to the fact that despite existing prevention programs and interventions, alcohol consumption among children and adolescents is still a severe and contemporary problem related to the high tolerance of society towards alcohol consumption. The degree of denormalization of underage drinking in the Czech Republic is still low. However, even if we accept the thesis of gradual demoralization of drinking, which is based on the assumption of declining alcohol consumption, it appears that early initiation of drinking is thus becoming an increasingly important indicator of wider risk behavior and needs increased attention.

Based on a survey by “Mars”, about 59% of dogs and 52% of cats weighed more than they should. This is the motivation of this research in designing a feeding and drinking automation for pets so that it is easier for owners to take care their pet's health diet, and so that owners don't have to worry about forgetting to feed their pets. To connect to the internet, ESP32 is used. The supporting components consist of load cell (weight sensor), three ultrasonic sensors (proximity sensor), servo motor and pump motor. These components are combined to carry out the function of feeding and drinking automatically. The device will run after being given an order via website or application. For the feeding system, the animal owner can provide input on the schedule, frequency and portion of feeding. While the drinking system, the owner can press the calibration button and the pause button. Tests are carried out on each sensor, to measure its accuracy and testing of the entire system is carried out to ensure all components work together to carry out their functions. The test results show that every hardware and software component has worked in accordance with the designed objectives.

The development of the times in the field of technology allows information to be obtained quickly and easily. We often encounter exchange of information in the world of work, one of the business entities that is very dependent on the exchange of information is cooperatives. In traditional cooperatives, the use of services requires users to come directly to the physical location of the cooperative. The process of recording user data and transaction history is also still done manually, namely by writing it on a book, so it takes a long time. The cooperative system created is a web-based application with the Laravel framework and cooperative data managed using MySQL. Designing a web-based application will provide easy access to cooperative services and decrease the time required for transaction processing for users and increase the efficiency of cooperative management for cooperative managers.

Published: January 2024

The tourism sector holds a pivotal role in Indonesia's economic landscape, particularly in Banyuwangi, where substantial growth has been witnessed. The Banyuwangi Festival, orchestrated annually by the Banyuwangi Regency Government through the Department of Culture and Tourism, stands as a flagship program contributing significantly to the upswing in tourist visits. Despite its prominence, the planning process for the Banyuwangi Festival involves multiple stakeholders, necessitating seamless coordination for comprehensive preparation. Unfortunately, the current reliance on spreadsheet tools diminishes the effectiveness of this process. Consequently, there is a pressing need for an advanced system to proficiently oversee the intricate planning of Banyuwangi Festival events. This research undertakes the ambitious task of conceptualizing and designing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to address these challenges. Leveraging Odoo ERP, with the event module serving as the primary component and the website module as an additional feature, the study adopts the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method. This method is chosen to align with the specific requirements of the Banyuwangi Regency Culture and Tourism Department, which serves as the central coordinator for the Banyuwangi Festival. The outcome of this research is a sophisticated ERP system meticulously crafted to streamline three crucial processes: the submission of event proposals by the public or external entities, the event registration process, and the scheduling of meetings. This comprehensive ERP solution is poised to significantly enhance the Culture and Tourism Department's ability to manage and optimize the intricate planning of Banyuwangi Festival events, ultimately leading to more efficient business processes.

Authors: Kini Raveena R. , Walankar Prachita , Panhale Vrushali , Krishnan Vijaya , Gala Hetvi D.
Published: January 2024

Objectives:

The degree of knee osteoarthritis (OA) is usually graded with the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading system. Studies have shown the effect of weak hip abductor muscle as a contributory factor to knee OA. However, there is a shortage of literature regarding the association of hip abductor strength with the KL grade.

Methods:

Individuals diagnosed with bilateral knee OA between the ages 40 and 70 years, who have had a recent knee radiograph and are mobile and willing to participate, were included in the study. A brief demographic and basic screening was done following which the isometric hip abductor strength of each limb was assessed using the Jamar Handheld Dynamometer in a supine lying position across the wall. Three readings were taken, and the average was noted. The grade of OA was noted using the knee radiograph using the KL grading system.

Results:

Forty participants with bilateral knee OA were recruited for the study of which 62.5% (n = 25) were female and 37.5% (n = 15) were male. There was a weak negative correlation of KL grade of the left knee with the left hip abductor isometric strength (P = 0.013, r = −0.39). However, a statistically significant difference (P = 0.021) was found in isometric hip abductor strength between lower grade of knee OA (KL grade 1, 2) and higher grade of knee OA (KL grade 3, 4).

Conclusion:

There is an association between the isometric hip abductor strength and KL grade of knee OA wherein the better the strength, the lower the KL grade.

Published: January 2024

Our objective was to screen the literature on congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) children/adolescents regarding the extent/nature of reporting orthopedic manifestations/deformities and to assess its appropriateness in informing clinical practice/research. We searched PubMed for original research on orthopedic surgical/non-surgical manifestations of CMD. Eligible articles needed to focus on orthopedic manifestations/deformities as one of the study objectives with no restrictions on study designs/types or search period. Eight hundred and thirty articles were initially identified and screened. Following the exclusion of 501 articles for disagreeing titles/abstracts, 329 were available for eligibility assessment. Two hundred and fifty-five articles were excluded for reasons. Of one hundred articles, 15 were captured manually and 11 through pre-submission searches, with 1078 patients included in the final analysis. The most common subtype was Laminin alpha-2 (LAMA2)-relatedCMD. Orthopedic manifestations of CMD are generally underreported and insufficiently detailed. There is reliable evidence that accurate reporting of orthopedic manifestations can be a valuable clinical supplement to the complex differential diagnosis process in collagen VI-related CMD, LAMA2-related-CMD, LMNA-related-CMD, and SEPN1-related CMD (SELENON). For alpha dystroglycan-related CMD, there is insufficient information to delineate a subtype-specific pattern. There is emerging evidence that reporting spine surgery outcomes may facilitate orthopedic decision making. The greatest clinical/research utility was provided by articles with longitudinal, comprehensive, and correlative reporting of larger cohorts. Detailed reporting of the orthopedic phenotype of CMD in future research may further uncover its diagnostic potential.

Why Global History of Religion? A Response to Karénina Kollmar-Paulenz
Authors: Seiwert Hubert
Published: January 2024

The contribution discusses Karénina Kollmar-Paulenz’s programme for a global history of religion. Her approach aims to challenge European hegemony over the analytical concept of ‘religion’ by incorporating non-European realms of experience into theories of religious studies. This provokes the question which epistemological interest is associated with this objective. Why should an academic discipline, whose theories and concepts are shaped by European discourses, integrate non-European perspectives? Several possible answers to this question are examined.
Deviation from the System of “Nourishing Life”: Religious Innovation in Japan
Authors: Triplett Katja
Published: January 2024

In this response to Karénina Kollmar-Paulenz’s celebrated essay on non-European concepts in the global study of religion, I discuss the possibility for religious innovation in a socio-religious situation stabilised by objectified elite perspectives by reference to formative teachings and practices in Tenrikyō, a religion founded by Nakayama Miki in 1838. Nakayama Miki’s deviation from the knowledge system of “nourishing life” (yōjō), especially in regard to perinatal food taboos, analysed here on the basis of hagiographical accounts of the foundress, aimed to free humans from all food restrictions. By concentrating on the traditional Japanese “nourishing life” system and its food regulations as an identity marker of the “other”, proponents of freedom from them, as taught by the foundress, contributed in some way, paradoxically, to the stabilisation of the norms.

Assessing the risk of malnutrition in cancer patients during radiotherapy
Authors: Habina Dorinela
Published: January 2024

Radiotherapy is considered one of the most effective curative therapies for cancer, but it has multiple side effects, especially when the irradiation is on the oral or abdominal area of the body, with a negative impact on nutrition in terms of quantity and quality, as well as the way nutrients are assimilated in the body. The objective of this study was to assess the risk of malnutrition in cancer patients during radiotherapy. The methodology was based on the use of the NRS-2002 screening tool and a set of questions extracted from the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire related to the patient quality of life of a group of patients during radiationtreatment between September and December 2022. Results. From the group of 46 participants, 56.52% of the patients were identified with a moderate risk of malnutrition, and 92.30% of them benefited from personalized nutritional counseling. Weight change for the total group registered an average decrease of 0.71-0.77 kg. Symptoms such as decreased appetite were found in 23.91% of participants. According to the responses of the participants, the evaluation of the general state of health had an average score of 5.17 (out of 7), and the general quality of life had an average of 4.48 (out of 7). Following the dietary survey, all participants received general dietary recommendations, according to the ESPEN guidelines, and patients identified at risk of malnutrition received personalized nutritional counseling and indications for enteral nutrition (oral or gastrostomy solutions) to meet the caloric needs. In conclusion, the study proved the importance of early identification of malnutrition and personalized nutritional intervention for reducing anxiety related to food, increasing food intake, maintaining body weight, respectively a better management of manifested adverse effects and a better compliance with medical therapy.
The role and importance of nutritional counselling in stroke patients
Authors: Şipoş Remus Sebastian , Orban Emese
Published: January 2024

Stroke is a condition that can be caused by a number of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Modifiable risk factors include a range of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and poor diet. In all these cases, nutritional counselling would be that related medical act that not only has the potential to improve the patient’s quality of life but can be a prophylactic medical act for stroke. As for the patient who has already suffered a stroke, for him, the appropriate nutritional counselling adapted to the degree of neurological deficit monitored post-stroke may represent the patient’s chance for a good prognosis in terms of not only quality of life but also survival rate. In view of this, including nutritional counselling in the list of medical services supported by the national health insurance system should be a natural decision, similar to the way medical rehabilitation through physiotherapy, or home health care, is funded. Personalized nutritional counselling for patients is a patient’s right to be provided in an assisted way, both to maintain and improve their health and to reduce healthcare expenditure.
Amino- and Alkoxybenziodoxoles: Facile Preparation and Use as Arynophiles
Authors: Kanemoto Kazuya , Yoshimura Ken , Ono Koki , Ding Wei , Ito Shingo , Yoshikai Naohiko
Published: January 2024

We report here on the facile synthesis of amino- and alkoxy-λ3-iodanes supported by a benziodoxole (BX) template and their use as arynophiles. The amino- and alkoxy-BX derivatives can be readily synthesized by reacting the respective amines or alcohols with chlorobenziodoxole in the presence of a suitable base. Unlike previously known nitrogen- and oxygen-bound iodane compounds, which have primarily been employed as electrophilic group transfer agents or oxidants, the present amino- and alkoxy-BX reagents manifest themselves as nucleophilic amino and alkoxy transfer agents toward arynes. This reactivity leads to the aryne insertion into the N–I(III) or O–I(III) bond to afford ortho-amino- and ortho-alkoxy-arylbenziodoxoles, iodane compounds nontrivial to procure by existing methods. The BX group in these insertion products exhibits excellent leaving group ability, enabling diverse downstream transformations.
Photocatalytic H2O2 Production Over Photocatalysts Prepared By Phosphine-protected Au101 Nanoparticles on WO3

Published: January 2024

Photocatalytic H2O2 synthesis is an appealing and feasible strategy to replace the energy- intensive, tedious, and waste-generating anthraquinone process. Often, pure metal oxides show low activity in photocatalytic H2O2 production and therefore metal co-catalysts are required to improve the photoactivity. This work investigated photocatalytic H2O2 production using monodisperse gold nanoclusters Au101(PPh3)21Cl5 supported on WO3. From HRTEM imaging, the Au101 size in the uncalcined samples is in the cluster regime (<2 nm) and after calcination at 200 °C the size increases to ca. 4.5 nm. The roles of Au101 have been identified to reduce the charge carrier recombination and provide the active sites for O2 reduction which significantly enhances the photoactivity. Both uncalcined and calcined Au101/WO3 photocatalysts produce over 75 mM g-1 h-1 of H2O2 under UV light irradiation while the pure WO3 is inactive. At early times (up to 30 min), the production rate of H2O2 from calcined Au101/WO3 reaches 173 mM g-1 h-1 and is almost double the rate of the uncalcined catalyst (93 mM g-1 h-1). The higher photoactivity of calcined versus uncalcined Au101/WO3 can be attributed to the aggregated Au101 and removal of phosphine ligands from the Au core as verified by HRTEM and XPS. The reaction rate decreases over time which is attributed to the reverse reaction. Using a simple kinetic model, the rate constant of the H2O2 formation (kf) for uncalcined and calcined Au101/WO3 are 2.07 and 6.31 mM h-1, while the rate constant of the H2O2 decomposition (kd) for uncalcined and calcined Au101/WO3 are 0.49 and 2.93 h-1, respectively. This work highlights a simple preparation of highly active photocatalysts to produce H2O2 derived from Au101 clusters and WO3.
Towards dual light control of a catalytically-driven chemical reaction cycle
Authors: Valera Jorge S. , López-Acosta Álvaro , Hermans Thomas
Published: January 2024

Chemically-fueled chemical reaction networks (CRNs) are key in controlling dissipative self-assembly. Having catalysts gating fuel consumption for both the activation and deactivation chemistry of (assembly-prone) monomers and controlling the catalytic activity with an external stimulus would provide better control over where, when, and how long self-assembled structures can form. Here we achieve light control over monomer activation and subsequent assembly into supramolecular fibers, and partial light control over deactivation and fiber disassembly. Activation proceeds via photoredox catalysis under visible light, whereas deactivation is achieved by organometallic catalysis that relies on a photocaged pre-fuel activated by ultraviolet light. Overall, we show how supramolecular fibers can be formed by visible light and how their destruction is accelerated by ultraviolet light.

Published: January 2024

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is a widely studied electrode material for energy storage, however, its strong re-stacking tendency during chemical reduction always leads to a degraded specific surface area and thus limits its performance. Therefore, it is necessary to control the morphology of rGO during the reduction process. Here, we develop a novel in-situ membrane-based method for the reduction of graphene oxide (GO) using a green and efficient vitamin C (VC) aqueous solution as reductant. The obtained electrode material (vitamin C reduced GO via membrane-based method, VG-M) exhibits a specific capacitance of 174 F/g at 1 A/g and 75.9% of retention at 40 A/g, which is about 9 times better than the highly self-stacked material from conventional methods (vitamin C reduced GO via stirring method, VG-S). This designed method successfully achieves the maintenance of rGO sheet morphology through laminar confinement in GO membrane and presents a simple approach towards two-dimensional (2D) material morphology control.
A Subgraph Isomorphic Decision Tree to Predict Radical Thermochemistry with Bounded Uncertainty Estimation
Authors: Pang Hao-Wei , Dong Xiaorui , Johnson Matthew S. , Green William H.
Published: January 2024

Detailed chemical kinetic models offer valuable mechanistic insights into industrial applications. Automatic generation of a reliable kinetic model requires fast and accurate radical thermochemistry estimation. Kineticists often prefer hydrogen bond increment (HBI) corrections from a closed shell molecule to the corresponding radical for their interpretability, physical meaning, and facilitation of error cancellation as a relative quantity. Tree estimators, used due to limited data, rely on expert knowledge and manual construction currently, posing challenges in maintenance and improvement. In this work, we extend the subgraph isomorphic decision tree (SIDT) algorithm originally developed for rate estimation, to estimate HBI corrections. We introduce a physics-aware splitting criterion, explore a bounded weighted uncertainty estimation method, and evaluate aleatoric uncertainty-based and model variance reduction-based pre-pruning methods. Moreover, we compile a dataset of thermochemical parameters for 2,210 radicals involving C, O, and H based on quantum chemical calculations from recently published works. We leverage the collected dataset to train the SIDT model. Compared to existing empirical tree estimators, the SIDT model (1) offers an automatic approach to generating and extending tree estimator for thermochemistry, (2) has better accuracy and R2, (3) provides significantly more realistic uncertainty estimates, and (4) has a tree structure much more advantageous in descent speed. Overall, the SIDT estimator marks a great leap in kinetic modeling, offering more precise, reliable, and scalable predictions for radical thermochemistry.

From the Islamic perspective, one way to achieve welfare is to pay zakat. This article describes the relationship of muzakki to increasing individual welfare. The method used in this research is quantitative. The population of this study was non-ASN muzakki, who were registered at the Badan Amil Zakat Nasional (BAZNAS) of Tanjungpinang City as many as 200 muzakki. One hundred thirty-two (132) people were sampled; however, because the method used was purposive sampling, only 44 people were sampled and carried out randomly. The results showed an effect of zakat on the welfare of muzakki (r) of 0.660 percent. The regression line equation with a value of Y = 1.199 + 0.689X means that there is a positive influence between zakat and the welfare of muzakki of 0.689. If you want to improve welfare, muzakki must increase the quantity in zakat; the probability value shows a significant value of 0.019. The considerable value is 0.019 < 0.05, so H1 is accepted.

This study analyzed the impact of smartphone addiction on learning outcomes between males and females on learning outcomes. Several studies have analyzed the effects of smartphone addiction on student learning effectiveness. However, there are a lot of gaps in these studies, such as the selected sample, in which all the respondents are assumed to belong to a gender group. In this work, we categorize each respondent, based on gender, into male and female. 500 students from public and private universities in Indonesia participated in this study. The independent-sample t-test, linear correlation, and regression analysis determined the result. It was found that smartphone addiction had a significant negative correlation with learning outcomes in male students and no significant correlation in female students. Male students’ smartphone addiction had a higher effect on learning outcomes than females, with a percentage of 33.7%. This study contributes to improving the gender perspective on learning issues.

Madurese’s resistance to the development of tourism facilities is based on the socio-cultural conditions of the community, which is less open to modernization. This research describes the form of resistance and reflects on its relation to Madurese society’s social and historical conditions. This research uses qualitative data with interview methods, collecting news on the internet, and literature studies. Data collection in this research begins with reading news on the internet on Madurese's resistance related to modern facilities and modern tourism, then conducting interviews with informants to confirm data from the news. Data analysis was carried out through three stages, namely describing data, classifying, and interpreting data thematically to reveal the meaning of the resistance by the Madurese community against the development of tourism facilities. The findings of this study highlight at least three main things, namely the forced closure of non-Muslim entertainment venues due to dissatisfaction with the resulting value shifts. Second, the presence of powerful actors triggers resistance from the community. Third, Madurese people tend to make tourism based on Islamic Sharia as they believe in their daily lives.
Problematics of Media Transferment of Surface-Based designs to Screen-Based Designs
Authors: Sulaiman Naniwati , Palit Rene Arthur
Published: January 2024

The global health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all areas of human life. Humans must rearrange their way of life, including the way of worship. Sunday school services that were previously luring at the church, have now turned into daring worship at home. In the practice of telling stories daring, it turns out that Surface-based media, such as print media, which were originally effective in face-to-face situations, are now less powerful in front of the camera. All visual aids used to tell stories to Sunday school children cannot simply be used in front of a screen in daring worship. The reason is that screen-based media has different characteristics from Surface-based media. So, illustrations and types of luring props cannot simply be used in an daring situation. Visual aids in face-to-face situations cannot be equated with daring situations. This study aims to apply Surface-based visual aids to screen-based media. To achieve this goal, literature and experimental study methods are used. First, a literature study will be conducted on the characteristics of visual aids. Next, a sample of Surface-based Sunday school story props will be selected which is designed to be a screen-based teaching aid. Then the results of the transformation of the props will be tested on Sunday school children. The final step is the completion of the work. It is hoped that the findings of this study can provide input for the design of daring Sunday school visual aids. In general, it can be useful for the development of visual communication design media.

Published: January 2024

Desainer grafis, adalah profesi dengan pengaruh dan cakupan pekerjaan yang cukup besar. Hal tersebut menyebabkan profesi ini memiliki angka peminatan yang terus berkembang setiap tahunnya. Meski demikian, desain grafis secara kualitas dan apresiasi menunjukkan kemerosotan. Tentu kondisi tersebut sangat kontradiktif dengan perkembangan peminatannya yang terus berkembang baik. Menurut, International Council Of Design (ICO-D) menyatakan bahwa selain dari faktor kualitas kompetensi, kemerosotan pandangan tersebut juga dapat terjadi sebab masih adanya permasalahan pada etika pelaku profesionalnya. Sebagai sebuah daerah yang memiliki kondisi sosial yang cenderung informal bahkan di lingkungan pekerjaan, Kota Bandung menjadi salah satu daerah yang merasakan kondisi tersebut. Sikap informal yang dimiliki oleh sebagian dari praktisi, membuat terbentuknya sikap kurang peduli terhadap hal dirasa baku seperti perjanjian kerja, ataupun sikap profesional untuk memisahkan hubungan pertemanan dengan pekerjaan. Sikap tersebut membuat profesi desain grafis di Kota bandung belum mendapatkan penghargaan yang maksimal dari industri. Penelitian Ini, bertujuan untuk mengkaji hubungan antara permasalahan etika profesi dengan persepsi Industri di Kota Bandung yang berkaitan dengan perkembangan profesi. Data diambil dan diolah secara triangulasi data melalui beberapa metode. Yaitu, focus group discussion bersama akademisi, praktisi, dan mahasiswa yang akan melengkapi kajian literatur yang didapat. Dari hasil analisis data diketahui bahwa masalah etika profesi desain grafis yang sering terjadi di Kota Bandung baik di kalangan magang, madya, maupun senior adalah permasalahan komunikasi baik di lingkungan sosial maupun pekerjaan. Insight lain yang didapat adalah selama Ini persepsi terhadap etika profesi dari masing-masing praktisi berbeda-beda berdasarkan pemikiran dan pengalaman masing-masing sehingga sebuah acuan tentang etika profesi perlu diberi penyeragaman. Selain Itu, perlu adanya penanaman etika sedini mungkin sehingga dapat meningkatkan value dari profesi desain grafis di mata industri praktis dan pemakai jasa.
