Authors: Listyono Putro Jati Febriyanto Adi , Andy Nugroho  , Septian Adi Permana  , Andi Hermawan
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Tetanus, a severe neurologic disorder caused by Clostridium tetani neurotoxin, presents with progressive muscle rigidity and spasms. Grade III tetanus, characterized by generalized tetanus with severe spasms, carries a high mortality risk. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) has emerged as an adjunctive therapy to remove circulating toxins and inflammatory mediators.
Case presentation: We report a 50-year-old male with grade III tetanus following a minor injury. Despite standard treatment with tetanus immunoglobulin, antibiotics, and muscle relaxants, his condition deteriorated, necessitating intensive care unit (ICU) admission and mechanical ventilation. The patient underwent two sessions of TPE, demonstrating significant clinical improvement with reduced muscle spasms and successful ventilator weaning.
Conclusion: This case highlights the potential benefit of TPE in managing severe tetanus, particularly in cases refractory to conventional therapy. Early recognition and aggressive management, including TPE, can improve outcomes in this life-threatening condition.

Authors: Shao Bo-Zong , Zhang Wen-Gang , Liu Zhen-Yu , Linghu En-Qiang
Published: September 2024

Gastrointestinal disorders encompass a spectrum of conditions affecting various organs within the digestive system, such as the esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, pancreas, liver, small intestine, and bile ducts. The role of autophagy in the etiology and progression of gastrointestinal diseases has garnered significant attention. This paper seeks to evaluate the impact and mechanisms of autophagy in gastrointestinal disorders by synthesizing recent research findings. Specifically, we delve into inflammation-related gastrointestinal conditions, including ul-cerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and pancreatitis, as well as gastrointestinal cancers such as esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancers. Additionally, we provide commentary on a recent publication by Chang et al in the World Journal of Gastroenterology . Our objective is to offer fresh perspectives on the mechanisms and therapeutic approaches for these gastrointestinal ailments. This review aims to offer new perspectives on the mechanisms and therapeutic strategies for gastrointestinal disorders by critically analyzing relevant publications. As discussed, the role of autophagy in gastrointestinal diseases is complex and, at times, contentious. To harness the full therapeutic potential of autophagy in treating these conditions, more in-depth research is imperative.

prevalência do negociado sobre o legislado e a definição de direito indisponível na jurisprudência do Tribunal Superior do Trabalho
Authors: Ceccon Iantas Isabel , Serau Júnior Marco Aurélio
Published: September 2024

Contextualização: a partir das contrarreformas trabalhistas, legislativa e judicial, passou-se a permitir a prevalência do negociado sobre o legislado, validando-se instrumentos coletivos que reduzem, retiram ou flexibilizam direitos da classe trabalhadora, contando que sejam respeitados os direitos indisponíveis.
Objetivo: o objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar as alterações legislativas e judiciais que permitiram a prevalência do negociado sobre o legislado, bem como verificar seus efeitos na validação ou invalidação de instrumentos coletivos. A pesquisa também objetivou analisar o posicionamento do TST quanto a (in)disponibilidade dos direitos trabalhistas.
Método: a pesquisa adotou, em um primeiro momento, a metodologia analítico-argumentativa, a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, para analisar a legislação e a jurisprudência que permitiram a prevalência do negociado sobre o legislado. Ainda, utilizou-se de pesquisa jurisprudencial, com o levantamento de decisões do TST, com o qual, por meio dos métodos quantitativos (número de decisões) e qualitativos (quais os fundamentos e conteúdos das decisões), analisou-se a aplicação do Tema 1.046.
Resultados: a legislação e as decisões analisadas demonstraram que a prevalência do negociado sobre o legislado ampliou a autonomia privada coletiva e a liberdade negocial com o intuito de reduzir o patamar mínimo de direitos da classe trabalhadora. A ausência de uma definição precisa e objetiva sobre quais direitos seriam indisponíveis abre margem para que a interpretação dos instrumentos coletivos fique à mercê da conveniência e opinião de cada magistrado, contribuindo para uma insegurança jurídica.

Authors: J.  B.  Ashraf  Al  , Priyadharshini J. Rose
Published: September 2024

Aim: To Assess the involvement of Peripheral and Central Brainstem Auditory Pathways in Hypertension Patients
Materials & Methods:
Eligibility Criteria for Hypertension Patients in the Study: BP > 140/90 mmHg, as per JNC 7 Guidelines, and Under Control with Antihypertensive Medications. Subjects with Acute Illness were excluded. Informed Written Consent Acquisition. Informed Written Consent Acquisition in the Study was made to Ensure Ethical Participation.  Exclusion Criteria and Instrumentation in the Study: Patients with associated diseases (e.g., Diabetes Mellitus, Ischemic Heart Disease, Cerebrovascular Disease) or auditory abnormalities were excluded. Medicaid Neuroperfect plus Instrument was utilized, and electrodes were placed following the 10-20 international system of EEG electrode placement.
 The parameters include:

Absolute latency of all the waves from I to V
Interpeak latency I-III, I-V and III-V

Result:
  The results of the study indicate that the Absolute Latency of Wave I in the hypertensive group showed a statistically significant prolongation, with a P value of 0.0001. This suggests that there is a notable delay in the auditory nerve response in these individuals compared to the control group.
The statistically significant prolongation observed in the latency values of Waves I, V, Inter-peak latency I-V, and Inter-peak latency III-V highlights the impact of hypertension on auditory function and warrants further investigation for a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
Conclusion:
These findings indicate that there are measurable delays in the auditory nerve responses and the conduction of auditory signals along the brainstem pathways in individuals with hypertension. Further research in this area may help to better understand the underlying mechanisms and potentially explore novel approaches for managing auditory abnormalities in hypertensive patients.

Background: Lifestyle counselling is an effective, non- invasive way to manage weight, glycemic control, blood pressure and to reduce the risk of fatal complications in hypertensives and diabetics.
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of lifestyle counselling in management of hypertension and diabetes in an urban community of Manipur, India.
Methods:
A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 51 cases each in intervention and control groups. Study population was known cases of hypertension and/or diabetes. One-on-one lifestyle counselling was done on the four risk behaviors i.e, unhealthy diet, insufficient physical activity, tobacco and alcohol use. Effectiveness was assessed by a modified version of WHO STEPS questionnaire and physical and biochemical measurements collected at baseline and 6 months post-intervention.  Chi-square test, independent t-test and paired t-test were used to compare the continuous variables between the two groups and within the group.
Results: There was no significant difference at baseline and post-intervention blood pressure, BMI and waist-hip ratio and random blood sugar between intervention and control group.
However, within group comparison showed a significant decrease in random blood sugar in the control group (p=0.044).
Conclusions:
 Our results found no effect of the intervention among people with hypertension and diabetes. More intensive intervention with several sessions might be required to see a significant change in the control of hypertension and diabetes.

Published: September 2024

This paper analyses the scattering images of the bending deformation of high-density fibreboards based on the digital image correlation (DIC) technique, so as to study its mechanical deformation law. Three-point bending tests were carried out on fibreboards using a mechanical testing machine with a non-contact measuring system. The measured values of the displacements of the grid nodes in the region of interest (ROI) were combined with the Moving least squares (MLS) method to construct the strains of the high-density fibreboards at different loading forces, thus deriving the strain values of the fibreboards during the bending deformation process. To further analyze its force deformation mechanism, this paper used a portable electron microscope and scanning electron microscope to analyze the damage situation at the fracture damage, and at the same time, it verified that the constructed strain field model was accurate.

Published: September 2024

La diabetes tipo 2 (DM2) es una enfermedad hiperglucémica crónica causada por más de dos cambios patogénicos: la resistencia a la acción periférica de la insulina (RI) y la insuficiencia pancreática. La RI generalmente se inicia y mantiene durante el curso de la enfermedad y puede mejorar con cambios en el estilo de vida y ciertos medicamentos. La insuficiencia pancreática requiere intervenciones médicas más intensivas y fármacos que requieren dosis más altas, tratamientos combinados y combinaciones de insulina. El tratamiento debe ser individualizado, aunque las recomendaciones de las guías de práctica clínica (GPC) suelen sugerir decisiones más o menos cerradas. En esta investigación nos proponemos un análisis comparativo de dos formulaciones de tratamiento y la comparación entre ellas. Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de la literatura para determinar el número de directrices existentes. Una búsqueda amplia. La información se limitó a guías de práctica clínica relacionadas con los tratamientos, con el siguiente mecanismo: “Diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) y tratamiento farmacológico”. De igual forma se han incluido las guías de Canadá, Reino Unido, el Consenso de la Asociación Latinoamericana de Diabetes (ALAD), las guías europeas y las guías españolas; todos fueron revisados intencionalmente.
EN CRISTO JESÚS NI VARÓN NI MUJER (GAL 3,28): MARTIRES CRISTIANAS DE AYER
Authors: Temporelli Clara María
Published: September 2024

RESUMENObjetivo: el artículo pretende mostrar que bajo la influencia del cristianismo y el cruel escenario del martirio, la mujer mártir rompe con el clásico prototipo femenino en la antigüedad, provocando un quiebre con su familia biológica y la sociedad. Método: a partir de la investigación de la vida de algunas mujeres mártires de los primeros siglos de expansión del cristianismo (s.I-IV), revelaremos el liderazgo de que ejercieron. Abordaremos brevemente las acusaciones que ocasionaron la persecución de cristianos/as.Resultados: el cristianismo va a prescindir de todo lo que discrimina a la humanidad: las relaciones socio-económicas (ni siervos ni amos), la raza o cultura (ni griegos ni judíos), el privilegio del sexo (ni varón ni hembra), mensaje evangélico que Pablo expresa en Gal 3,28. El martirio cristiano era un acto de fortaleza consistente en asumir voluntariamente la muerte por la fe y supuso torturas previas a la muerte.El uso de la violencia sobre el cuerpo de las mujeres resulta un eficaz instrumento de control. La violencia se cierne sobre sus cuerpos, sus vidas y sus historias.Conclusión: la importancia y extensión del Imperio Romano consolida la sociedad patriarcal con la conformación de un modelo político y simbólico que excluye a las mujeres, las silencia y las coloca bajo la autoridad del pater familia y las consecuencias que esto ocasionó a las mártires. El cristianismo naciente fue sobre todo el de sus mártires, quienes en su mayoría murieron con la certeza de la salvación
DISPUTA E PODER DOS EVANGÉLICOS BRASILEIROS EM TORNO DOS MEIOS DE COMUNICAÇÃO DE MASSA
Authors: REZENDE D.B.H.
Published: September 2024

O presente texto procura abordar, de maneira panorâmica, as relações dos evangélicos com os meios de comunicação no Brasil. A perspectiva adotada privilegia os percursos do segmento evangélico no universo midiático nacional desde o início do século XX, com o desenvolvimento da rádio, principalmente nos anos 50 e 60, e, posteriormente, a TV, nas décadas de 80 e 90, com o televangelismo. Ao longo desse itinerário, evidenciam-se criticamente as disputas sociais em torno da apropriação dos meios de comunicação, do acesso à fala e do poder que isso denota ao processo de expansão religiosa (financeira, política e da fé). O viés político é indissociável à leitura acerca do avanço evangélico sobre os mass media, uma vez que a política é intrínseca às relações de disputas e poder social. A importância temática em pauta justifica-se pelo fato de os evangélicos apresentarem uma dinâmica de grande visibilidade e de evidentes impactos na sociedade, na cultura e na política nacional, e os meios de massa se constituírem, em grande medida, em sustento de ampliação e fortalecimento do segmento nas últimas décadas. O debate travado é parte de escritos de pesquisas acadêmicas cuja metodologia incorpora a teoria das Ciências Sociais da Religião e a Ciência Política em seu corpo referencial: Freston (1993), Mariano (2014), Machado (2012), Cunha (2008; 2009), Thompson (1998; 2007), Aldé (2004), entre outras.

Polite Language on Facebook: Maintaining Ethics in Interactions on Social Media
Authors: M Asia
Published: September 2024

The objective of this study was to examine the present condition of politeness in language usage on Facebook, determine the factors that impact the use of polite language, and suggest approaches to promote civility in digital interactions. Using a qualitative methodology, the data collection process involved analyzing the content of posts and comments from public Facebook pages and groups. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with users to gather their personal experiences and perceptions. Our analysis of the content uncovered notable disparities in the levels of politeness observed. Community-oriented groups demonstrated elevated levels of politeness, likely attributed to their shared interests and established norms. Conversely, discussions centered around political matters were more susceptible to impoliteness, largely influenced by the anonymity of participants and the intensity of emotions involved. Interviews emphasized the significance of cultural variations, the design features of Facebook, and the crucial role of personal responsibility in upholding politeness. Effective moderation and well-defined guidelines were determined to be essential in handling discourteous conduct. The results highlight the importance of adopting a holistic strategy towards digital communication, encompassing the promotion of cultural sensitivity, the improvement of digital literacy, and the development of ethical platform features. These measures aim to cultivate a more respectful and constructive online environment.

Authors: Helmy Arif , Silviana Silviana
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of human resource competence on the quality of financial reports of Local Government Work Units (SKPD), with the government internal control system as a moderating variable. This research adopts an explanatory approach utilizing quantitative methods. The population consists of 38 SKPD holding general functional positions responsible for financial reporting in the West Java Provincial Government. The sampling method employed is census, encompassing the entire population as the research sample. Data collection involves primary data gathered through questionnaires. Hypothesis testing utilizes Moderation Regression Model with the assistance of Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 25. The findings of this study demonstrate that human resource competence has a positive and significant influence on the quality of SKPD financial reports. However, the government's internal control system does not enhance the influence of human resource competence on the quality of SKPD financial reports. Recommendations stemming from this research include urging the West Java Provincial Government to enhance human resource competence, particularly in accounting cycle skills and regulatory knowledge. Additionally, it is advised to strengthen the Internal Control System (SPIP) with a focus on effective communication of risk management, regular briefing sessions, workload analysis, implementation of measurable rewards and punishments, clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), and structured internal control monitoring.

Authors: Kim Keun-Hong , Lee Jong-Woo , Kim Hyun-Joon
Published: September 2024

This research examined the relationship between job turnover intention and job satisfaction sub-factors using data from a survey of social worker. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the higher the job satisfaction of social workers, the lower the intention to turnover. Furthermore, it has been established that a higher level of job satisfaction correlates with lower intentions to leave the company, as measured by factors such as job content, compensation, human relations, and working environment. Thus, it was discovered that improving job satisfaction, lowering the percentage of irregular employees, creating a work-life balance in organizational culture, building strong relationships, and setting up professional management systems, support, and burnout policies were major elements in lowering social workers’ intentions of leaving. Specifically, practical and policy implications were presented and discussed by proposing that the effectiveness of the remuneration system, revitalization of education and training and career development programs, improvement of excessive workload, and establishment of various reward systems.

Empowering through feedback: Economics teachers' motivations for assessment practices in public schools
Authors: Pillay Preya
Published: September 2024

Research on assessment feedback practices in economics education within South African public schools has been limited, particularly in terms of teachers' motivations and approaches. This study addresses this gap by exploring the reasons and motivations behind Grade 10-12 Economics teachers' use of assessment feedback in three public schools in South Africa. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving three teachers at different career stages. Data was collected through semi-structured individual interviews and document analysis of feedback samples. Thematic analysis, informed by the concept of feedback literacy, was used to analyse the data. The findings revealed two primary motivations: using assessment feedback for academic growth and providing feedback for real-world application. Teachers viewed feedback as a crucial tool for enhancing students' understanding of economic concepts and preparing them for future academic and professional challenges. The study concludes that teachers' feedback practices align with contemporary educational theories and demonstrate a commitment to contextualising economics education within the South African environment. Recommendations include implementing targeted professional development programs to enhance feedback literacy, revising curricula to incorporate opportunities for meaningful feedback, and conducting further research across diverse educational contexts. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of assessment practices in Economics education and has implications for teacher professional development and curriculum design in South African public schools, ultimately aiming to develop economically literate and critically engaged citizens.
Investigating the Onomastic Need to Rename Gender-derogatory Toponyms: A South African Perspective
Authors: Makweya Dolly Maleka , Rakgogo Tebogo Jacob , Tshamano Walter , Mbatha Nontobeko Thobile
Published: September 2024

This article explores the onomastic necessity of renaming gender-derogatory toponyms in the South African landscape. It contends that there is a need to interrogate the reasons behind gender-derogatory names and how society relates to these names. Four theories: Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), Critical Toponymic, Socio-onomastic and Feminism theories guided, shaped and informed the authors’ argument. Qualitative in nature, the article employed content analysis for data collection and analysis purposes. A database of over twenty-five (25) toponyms that are considered gender-derogatory was purposively collected and analysed. These toponyms were further grouped into different categories for easy presentation and analysis. It was found that there are gender-derogatory toponyms among South African geographical features, many of which were named using African languages. Furthermore, there is an existing intersectionality between gender-derogatory toponyms with toxic masculinity and feminism. For these reasons, the article postulated that there should be synergy, resonance and constructive alignment among toponyms, renaming, transformation agenda and identity construction. The article further recommends renaming gender-derogatory toponyms and raising awareness about the renaming process and its approach. It emphasises that renaming should be guided by semantics and linguistic ideology rather than race, language, or political power and its influence.

Keywords: Toponyms, gender-derogatory, Critical Discourse Analysis, Feminism, Toxic Masculinity.
Favorable Conditions for Heavy Element Nucleosynthesis in Rotating Protomagnetar Winds
Authors: Prasanna Tejas , Coleman Matthew S. B. , Thompson Todd A.
Published: September 2024

The neutrino-driven wind cooling phase of proto-neutron stars (PNSs) follows successful supernovae. Wind models without magnetic fields or rotation fail to achieve the necessary conditions for production of the third r-process peak, but robustly produce a weak r-process in neutron-rich winds. Using 2D magnetohydrodynamic simulations with magnetar-strength magnetic fields and rotation, we show that the PNS rotation rate significantly affects the thermodynamic conditions of the wind. We show that high-entropy material is quasiperiodically ejected from the closed zone of the PNS magnetosphere with the required thermodynamic conditions to produce heavy elements. We show that maximum entropy S of the material ejected depends systematically on the magnetar spin period P

Methane Formation Efficiency on Icy Grains: Role of Adsorption States
Authors: Tsuge Masashi , Molpeceres Germán , Aikawa Yuri , Watanabe Naoki
Published: September 2024

Methane (CH4) is one of the major components of the icy mantle of cosmic dust prevalent in cold, dense regions of interstellar media, playing an important role in the synthesis of complex organic molecules and prebiotic molecules. Solid CH4 is considered to be formed via the successive hydrogenation of C atoms accreting onto dust: C + 4H → CH4. However, most astrochemical models assume this reaction on the ice mantles of dust to be barrierless and efficient, without considering the states of adsorption. Recently, we found that C atoms exist in either the physisorbed or chemisorbed state on compact amorphous solid water, which is analogous to an interstellar ice mantle. These distinct adsorption states considerably affect the hydrogenation reactivity of the C atom. Herein, we elucidate the reactivities of physisorbed and chemisorbed C atoms with H atoms via sequential deposition and codeposition processes. The results indicate that only physisorbed C atoms can produce CH4 on ice. Combining this finding with a previous estimate for the fraction of physisorbed C atoms on ice, we determined the upper limit for the conversion of C atoms into CH4 to be 30%.
The dynamic nexus between economic factors, socioeconomic factors, green growth factors, and ecological footprint: evidence from GCC economies
Authors: Alsaggaf Majid Ibrahim
Published: September 2024

Industrialization, financial activities, and intensive human activities have reduced continuous habitats to smaller patches, threatening the safety of the ecosystem. However, as technological innovation and digitization increase, this negative impact will be somewhat neutralized. To address this issue, the current study examined the role of economic, socioeconomic, and green indicators on the ecological footprint in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). By using data from 1990–2019, we have applied multiple panel tests to determine the long-run and short-run relationships among the variables. The findings show that economic growth increases the long-term ecological footprint in the GCC. The human development index and financial inclusion coefficients are also positively and significantly linked with the ecological footprint. The socioeconomic index, however, reveals a negative relationship between ecological footprint and GCC. Similarly, digitalization and environmental technologies have a negative and major impact on the ecological footprint. It indicates that green growth factors contribute to long-term improvements in environmental quality. So, GCC nations should emphasize investing in green growth factors and enact strict environmental regulations to safeguard their country from environmental problems.
How Balanced Is Multilingualism in Scholarly Journals? A Global Analysis Using the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) Database

Published: September 2024

The concept of balanced multilingualism aims to establish “instruments for documenting and measuring the use of language for all the different purposes in research, thereby providing the basis for the monitoring of further globalization of research in a more responsible direction” (Sivertsen, 2018, p. 2). However, an analysis of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), the largest database of fully open access journals produced in 130 countries, does not show balanced multilingualism in the global landscape. The DOAJ promotes linguistic diversity by indexing journals in 80 languages, including dialectal variations, indigenous languages, and languages spoken by less than 50,000 speakers (eg, Aragonese). In this article, we present the main trends related to the languages in which journals publish their full-text contributions to respond to this unbalanced landscape. We conducted a descriptive analysis of the 17,564 journals listed in the DOAJ (July 2023). Our findings show that 65% (11,331) of the journals listed publish only in one language, and 35% (6,234) publish in two, three, and up to 16 languages. Our research also shows that 50% of the multilingual journals are based in Asia, Southern and Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
Consumer Sentiment Analysis on Social Media for Business Intelligence

Previously, when looking towards the development of surveys to help us improve aftershave products, we relied on the traditional and often costly means of conducting comprehensive and expensive marketing surveys. Social media plays the role of a powerful tool for realizing consumer behavior and obtaining opinion of consumers of products that is referred to as consumer sentiment analysis. It observes and checks consumer preferences by investigating the content they are sharing, where they can be any images, videos, or simple text. Catchers get a new insight into target market needs and service adequacy. By tailoring to the consumers' needs as these demands keep changing, companies can make their operations better. Social media handling companies can gain rich insights from social media applications by using latest technologies like machine learning and natural language processing, especially through lexicon-based methods. Then, they can randomly select a few customers and conduct sentiment analysis on their feedback of the product which is known as opinion mining.

Citizen participation enhances public services by involving individuals in their design, implementation, and evaluation, fostering transparency and accountability. Volunteered geographic information (VGI) leverages technology, such as smartphones and GPS, for efficient, large-scale geospatial data collection, benefiting urban planning, disaster response, and environmental sustainability. Institutional support through open data policies, financial backing, and collaborative partnerships is crucial for VGI's success. OpenStreetMap exemplifies VGI's transformative potential across various sectors. However, challenges like data quality, privacy concerns, and inclusivity need addressing through robust validation systems, training, and standardized methods. Sustaining volunteer engagement and ensuring seamless data integration are essential for maximizing VGI's impact.

Fuzzy soft sets find an extensive assortment of applications in many decision-making problems. Fuzzy sets are applied to overcome uncertainty, and soft sets came into existence as an extension. It is called soft because the boundary depends on the parameters. Soft sets are the generalization of fuzzy sets. Parameter reduction in soft sets shows an energetic role in reducing the complexity of any decision-making problems. Fuzzy soft sets are applied to identify a word. The set of alphabets is taken as the universal set, and the words formed using these alphabets give the parameter set. The length of the word is first calculated. The first three letters of the word to be identified are given as the input. The parameter set consists of words of the same length, and the first three letters are generated using NLG. The word is identified using machine learning of word classification and prediction. The results are compared, and the final accuracy is calculated.

Effect of Surface Layer on Young’s Modulus of Ultrathin Nanofilms: A Theoretical Model
Authors: Jia Yi'ao , Saqier Yehejong , Narsu Bai
Published: September 2024

The existing discrepancy between theoretical models and experimental results in describing the elastic properties of ultra-thin nanofilms (less than 10 nm) is primarily attributed to the oversight of the surface layer thickness impact. To address this, a new model incorporating a surface layer with thickness is proposed in this article. Utilizing a layered model, the Young’s modulus of nanofilms approaches that of bulk materials as the film thickness becomes infinitely large, equating to the Young’s modulus of the bulk material in both layered and unlayered models. The dimensional unit of the surface elastic coefficient in the layered model differs from that of the unlayered model, approximately by the thickness of the film. Numerically, the former is more than double the latter. Predictions using the layered model for ultra-thin films comprising only two surface layers reveal a hardening effect in materials such as Si, Ge, InAs, and GaAs. The increase in Young’s modulus for these materials is 20.81%, 95.28%, 79.03%, and 84.04%, respectively, compared to their bulk counterparts. Moreover, a continuous increase in the Young’s modulus is observed as the thickness further decreases.
