Published: March 2023

As the world continues to grow, so does the demand for building materials necessary for building homes. About 20% of the population needs adequate housing. On the other hand, the problem with solid waste management has become a constant challenge over the years. As a result, innovators always try to resolve these issues while putting out economical and environment-friendly materials. This study aims to determine the feasibility of utilizing the following non-hazardous household wastes; PET, HDPE, and LDPE plastic wastes; bones from fish, poultry, and livestock animals; shredded used paper and tin cans in making an effective a practical concrete brick for load-bearing wall. The researchers tested the possibility of creating a concrete brick using cement, sand, and non-hazardous household wastes through compressive strength, water absorption, and efflorescence tests. The findings showed that using non-hazardous household wastes in concrete brick has a great significance in alleviating the effect of solid wastes conforming to the standards of ASTM C90 – Standard Specification for Load-Bearing Masonry Units, IS 3495 (Part 2) 1992 and ASTM C67. The study shows the great possibility of the produced sand brick as a building material and an excellent tool for resolving the issue of solid waste management.

Authors: Pradhan Prabhat , Bajgai Gyan Prasad
Published: March 2023

Several studies have established region-based prevalence rate of H. pylori infection and its association with clinical outcomes in Bhutan. However, this study attempts to determine hospital-based prevalence rate of H. pylori and its association with clinical outcomes. A total of 347 volunteers (159 females and 188 males; mean age of 49.8 ± 15.5 years) were enrolled from Central Regional Referral Hospital (CRRH) in Gelephu. Upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy (UGIE) was performed among the dyspeptics and H. pylori infection was determined by Histology examination. The histological prevalence of H. pylori among 347 patients who went upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy was 55.6%. The prevalence of H. pylori infection increased with age but it was statistically insignificant (P > 0.05). Gastritis was the most common endoscopic finding, present in 309 (89%) patients followed by normal upper endoscopy results in 24 (6.9%) patients. The prevalence of H. pylori among patients with gastritis and a duodenal ulcer was significantly higher than in patients with gastric cancer (P < 0.05). The high incidence of gastritis in the hospital may be attributed to the high prevalence of H. pylori infection among the individuals with dyspepsia.

The Gendered Gaze on Social Media: the Female Gaze as Rebellion
Authors: Long Zeyi
Published: March 2023

The male gaze, according to Laura Mulvey, means a way to objectify and sexualize women from heterosexual male perspectives. The male gaze can be found in every woman's daily life and has extended to social media. Thus, a specific type of female gaze emerges on social media in order to resist the male gaze. This type of female gaze aims at judging men's appearance, figure, education level or social position aggressively, differing from the female gaze in its usual context. Most studies of the gendered gaze lie in the field of film, literature and art, so in order to fill the gap, this study tries to analyse the gendered gaze in the field of social media. Two cases are raised in this study, 1saye bikini gate and Rayza airport gate, and the comments concerning the gendered gaze are gathered. Using textual analysis as a method, this study analyses the different characteristics of the male gaze and the aggressive female gaze on social media. According to the characteristics, this study focuses on whether the aggressive female gaze on social media can launch a rebellion against the male gaze on social media. Because of the nature and the purpose of the aggressive female gaze on social media, this study regards it as impossible for this type of female gaze to truly become a solution and a rebellion.

The Research on the Effects of Violent Video Games upon Chinese Teenagers’ Memory
Authors: Shen Yuhao
Published: March 2023

Currently, with the development of the Internet and the popularity of violent video games, there is a trend that parents are increasingly concerned about the negative effects caused by these games because most parents think the decline of memory is attributable to playing games. Meanwhile, the Chinese government promotes a regulation that adolescents whose age is under 18 should only play video games for one hour. If teenagers exceed that time limit, they will be punished and forced to pause gaming. Hence, society generally reaches an agreement that violent video games will be detrimental to youngers both physically and psychologically. The goal of this research is to find out some positive influences violent video games can bring to adolescents’ memory. This is of great importance on account of changing social stereotype towards violent video games and letting them realize these kinds of games can also enhance memory. Therefore, this study is conducted with a questionnaire, the quantitative research method. The object focused on teenagers aged between 12 to 18. By asking several questions such as the frequency of playing video games, their favorite type of game, and ways affect their students within a limited range, this research finally gets the answer that violent video games will not only not be harmful to their memories, but also improve their learning ability from three aspects.

Chinese Contemporary Idealized Female Image under "Sister Culture"——Within a Case Analysis of "Love Myth"
Authors: Li Xiaoyu
Published: March 2023

The 2021 female-directed film "Love Myth" has created many buzzwords and is regarded as a phenomenon-level work of current feminist films. This article takes the "Love Myth" as a case study. Through the deconstruction of the ideal female image in the film, it analyzes the development of the latest feminist image in the current Chinese popular industry under the influence of China's "sister culture" (After 2020, "sister" has become an idealized image in the hearts of Chinese middle-class women, representing that a middle-aged woman can still maintain beauty, fulfill her own career pursuits, and fulfill the social expectations of being a good mother and a virtuous wife). Through discourse research, it is demonstrated that the female images in the film present a mixed pseudo-feminist temperament. Behind its discourse are the narratives of post-feminism, neo-liberal feminism, and pop feminism based on China's unique social, cultural, and economic backgrounds. Although this female image presents the temperament of female empowerment, it does not touch any deep social structural problems in essence.
Contract of Nationalism between Space Mission from Cold War to Trump Administration
Authors: Yin Huiling
Published: March 2023

The American government has made it known that future space initiatives are necessary and that unilateral space missions may be possible during Donald Trump's administration. This change is a significant break from previous practices because, particularly since the Cold War, American political discourse on space during the ISS (International Space Station) era has tended to encourage international cooperation. This research explores the relationship between American nationalism and space, offering an explanation for why the relevance of space exploration has changed over time from the 1960s to 2019. One of the key components of American national identity, space technology is employed to highlight and strengthen national might. This article will contrast how nationalism was practiced during these three eras of American history: the Cold War space race, the international space station era and Trump’s administration. In the face of an equal "challenger," a fantastic nation is depicted using a spectacular set of technology.
The Negative Psychological Effects of Information Overload
Authors: Ji Xiaolu
Published: March 2023

Information overload (IO) is a state in which Information is beyond an individual's ability to accept, process, and respond. The human brain is limited to information processing capacity; when the input and output of Information mismatch, the individual will feel overwhelmed by tons of Information, resulting in anxiety, depression, and out of controlled psychological state. The idea of information overload has a long history. As early as the last century, it was applied by many scholars in enterprise management. The main consequence of information overload is the decline of decision-making quality and efficiency; decision-makers often need to consume more time and cognitive resources to deal with the task. In addition, the impact of information overload on mental health is often mentioned. Especially in the Internet era, people can receive more Information in a day than those who lived a hundred years ago combined in a lifetime. Massive amounts of instant Information build up to a state of life that requires a constant response; prolonged exposure to information overload can lead to personal stress, depression, and social media fatigue. It can be seen that information overload not only hurts people's work but also harms their physical and psychological health. Therefore, this paper will systematically describe the negative impact of information overload on individuals, especially psychological health, and provide some feasible suggestions.

Published: March 2023

"Subjective well-being" has increasingly become a hot topic of widespread concern. Researchers often use tools such as foreign scales to measure and study college students' subjective well-being. As there are many factors that affect subjective well-being, this essay has a tendentious and comprehensive summary of these research results. It summarizes the results from the following four aspects: individual abilities, psychological factors, environmental factors and demographic factors. As for the specific influence depth, it is still to be further studied. This paper aims to provide a summary of previous studies on college students’ subjective well-being and give some advice about directions in the future to make contributions to improve college students’ subjective well-being. This paper summarizes the positive factors that affect college students' subjective well-being from four aspects: individual ability factors, emotion, environment, and demography. However, the level of the summary is still shallow, and the systematic summary among the factors is not deep enough, which needs to be criticized and corrected and further studied by future generations.

Authors: Lv Yihang
Published: March 2023

As an important part of Chinese traditional culture, Jiangxi Opera has been listed as one of the national intangible cultural heritage and is the traditional drama of Jiangxi Province. However, it is understood that in some other Jiangxi Opera troupes, Jiangxi Opera, like most local operas in China, is also facing a shortage of actors, and there is a gap between new and old actors. A series of problems, such as the loss of an audience and the lack of performance venues, has led to a vicious circle in the development of Jiangxi Opera, which is in danger of being lost. Many local opera troupes are facing difficulties that they cannot continue to survive. Through studying the methods of popularizing Jiangxi Opera in universities, this paper introduces three methods of integrating Jiangxi Opera into the classroom, regularly carrying out Jiangxi Opera activities, and establishing Jiangxi Opera clubs, to make Jiangxi Opera more popular on campus, cultivating more Jiangxi Opera lovers, enabling students to understand and learn Jiangxi Opera more closely, and participating in learning and experiencing Jiangxi Opera personally, which can not only inherit and carry forward Jiangxi Opera, Protect and inherit the excellent traditional culture of our Chinese nation. At the same time, it can also cultivate students' understanding of "cultural diversity" and enhance national pride. Through this article, I hope to find out a more suitable development path and method for the art of Jiangxi Opera on campus, which can make Jiangxi Opera more and more popular in universities, and truly inherit and carry forward this excellent traditional art of Jiangxi.
A Study on Distinguishing between Using and Mentioning Derogatory Words- Taking the N-word as an Example
Authors: Zhang Junyi
Published: March 2023

There has been a heated discussion on saying the N-word. Due to the history of slavery, the N-word has been carrying a derogatory meaning towards black people and it is used to put black people and white people into an inferior and superior position. There are many derivatives of the N-word and the meaning of it has changed from time to time which leads to the controversial situation of this word. Some people hold the view that the N-word should be banned and no one has the right to say it under any circumstances while other people think that people should realize the difference between using and mentioning the N-word. Mixing the use/mention may result in other kinds of discrimination. Therefore, based on Grice’s meaning and Tirrel’s language games theory, this paper analyzes the difference between use and mention and what consequences people may face if the use and mention are mixed.
Asymmetry of Online Speech: The Danger for Speaker and Language Use
Authors: Peng Yuhui
Published: March 2023

Network society possesses more influence towards people’s lives presently. As a consequence, the caring for uptake is growing within speech acts in online contexts. From the realistic world to the virtual one, the linguistic boundary is becoming broader, so as the boundaries of people themselves. The information age has already changed the cognition about human beings, which is the essence of people is informational fluid that can depart from the body and present an ambiguous status on the network. Causing by the rise of the position of the uptake, a speaker is more likely to fall into an asymmetrical interlocution when exposed to the Internet. This conversational inequality would change the way people speak, and furtherly influence their ideology. The dangers of online speech are therefore unsealed, including the sluggishness and rigidification of language use as well as the conversion within the speakers’ minds, whose details will be discussed in this paper.
Analyze on Why Freedom of Speech Should be Restricted from the Perspective of Language Game
Authors: Wang Xiaoneng
Published: March 2023

As one of the most important modern western philosophers, Wittgenstein's language game theory laid the foundation for the study of pragmatics, and at the same time made the theory of "language game" widely studied in the field of linguistics. Linguistics is relatively active in the fields of mass media and social information dissemination, and the impact of language games on mass media and information dissemination has also achieved certain results in research. Combined with the current era, the rapid development of Internet technology has also led to the development of mass media and information dissemination effectiveness, opened up an unprecedented and convenient way for citizens to exercise their right to freedom of speech, and gave birth to the field of cyberspace that coexists with real space. The Internet platform allows more people to participate in the activities of expressing and disseminating speech, promoting the improvement of social norms, and solving social problems, but at the same time, online language violence and rumors, and defamation are also problems that cannot be underestimated, threatening national and social security. Based on Wittgenstein's "language game" theory, this article analyzes the spread and influence of language game theory, especially deeply derogatory words, on historical and contemporary social speech, and responds to why freedom of speech should be restricted.

Published: March 2023

Os desafios do ensino superior são múltiplos e desafiadores, amparados na necessidade da adesão das tecnologias nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem. Nesse contexto, a educação a distância (EaD) apresenta-se como uma possibilidade de potencializar o acesso ao ensino superior em regiões remotas, promovendo a inclusão social, o desenvolvimento de autonomia, a capacidade crítica, reflexiva, significativa e de qualidade. Este estudo objetivou analisar a percepção dos estudantes dos cursos de graduação presenciais sobre a inserção de componentes curriculares a distância na matriz curricular em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES) do Oeste catarinense. O método de pesquisa caracterizou-se como estudo quantitativo, exploratório e descritivo. Os resultados denotaram que a inserção do ensino a distância no ensino presencial ainda encontra resistências, creditadas a fatores culturais da IES, que, tradicionalmente, é reconhecida pelo ensino unicamente presencial, mudança de hábito dos estudantes de estudar em horários externos à universidade, o que gera uma organização prévia; analfabetismo digital constatado a partir do momento em que o estudante encontra dificuldade em acessar as ferramentas digitais. Destacam-se também os desafios às IES de aprimoramento necessário do ambiente virtual de aprendizagem, da inclusão dos recursos pedagógicos e elaboração de método particular de ensino híbrido.
Teaching Anthropology: Remarks from a German Perspective
Authors: Samida Stefanie
Published: March 2023

The Bologna Process opened a new chapter in the German higher education system, starting in 1999. Many new degree programmes have been implemented since then. It is nearly impossible to obtain an overview of the content of the more than 20,000 individual programmes thus far. Twenty-five years ago, this diverse offer of degree programmes would have been unthinkable. At that time, students specialized in Archaeology, German Studies, or Musicology; today, universities offer these subjects within such hybrid degree programmes as ‘Comparative Studies in Culture and Religion’, ‘Health and Society in South Asia’, or ‘Literary and Cultural Theory’. However, not only degree programmes diversify increasingly. The groups of students attending the courses have also continuously become more heterogeneous. Future archaeologists sit next to students of Transcultural Studies, and students of the teaching degree programme sit next to students of Global History. This raises such questions as ‘What does anthropology stand for?’, ‘How is anthropology conceptualized today?’, and ‘What does “teaching anthropology” mean?’.
The paper will touch on these questions and give an idea of my understanding of ‘teaching anthropology’, which is closely linked to my own academic biography. Consequently, this contribution is more of an essay-like attempt to prompt a discussion on today’s teaching of anthropology.

Allelochemical of Archidendron jiringa Pods and Sorghum bicolor Biomass Extracts Combined with a Premixed Formulation of Atrazine and Mesotrione
Authors: Simarmata Marulak , Yosevin Siahaan Wendy , Prasetyo Prasetyo , Marlin Marlin
Published: March 2023

The aim of this research was to evaluate the allelochemicals in jering pods and sorghum biomass extracts combined with premixed formulations of the herbicides, atrazine and mesotrione. The research was conducted in the laboratory and experimental field of the Department of Agronomy, University of Bengkulu, Indonesia, from December 2019 to July 2020. The allelochemicals in jering pods and sorghum biomass extracts and their combination with the herbicides were tested on seed germination, and weed control was tested on corn grown in polybags. The results showed that aqueous extracts of jering pods and sorghum biomass combined with the herbicide mixtures of atrazine and mesotrione did not inhibit the seed germination of corn but suppressed the length and the weight of the radicles and plumules. The study of the efficacy of jering pods and sorghum biomass extracts on the weeds (total of grasses and broadleaves) revealed that the two agents, when applied separately, suppressed weed biomass by 27 and 32%, respectively. When the two extracts were combined, their combined efficacy increased to 56%. Furthermore, the plant height, stem diameter, and corn stover weight increased with the allelochemicals and herbicide treatments. The cobs yield per plant increased from 19 to 22% with the separate application of the allelochemicals found in the jering pods and sorghum biomass, respectively, and from 27 to 34% when the allelochemicals were combined with the herbicides. This research provided a novel approach using the allelochemical extracts from jering pods and sorghum biomass as natural herbicides for weed control.
CORPOBIOGEOGRAFIAS de um Bugre
Authors: Nolasco Edgar Cézar
Published: March 2023

A proposta do ensaio, cuja teorização advém da crítica biográfica fronteiriça, procura pontuar que o conceito de corpobiogeografia ganha relevância quando se leva em conta o biolócus dos des-sujeitos envolvidos na vida e na teorização que arrola os respectivos corpos. Para mostrar tal inter-relação, o autor partiu do quase conceito de grafia-de-vida de Silviano Santiago, encontrado no livro Fisiologia da composição (2020), e da expressão “fisiologia dos andariegos”, como se lê em epígrafe aposta do poeta Manoel de Barros. Atrelado a isso o autor priorizou a ideia de “bem-viver” privilegiada pela descolonialidade para reiterar o quanto o conceito de corpobiogeografia está atravessado pelo lugar onde se encontra o corpo de todos os des-sujeitos envolvidos, tanto na vida (no caso, o bugre do texto), quanto na teorização (no caso, o autor do texto). Soma-se a tudo isso o conceito de “biogeografia” apresentado pelo estudioso Marcos Antônio Bessa-Oliveira, como sinaliza a segunda epígrafe do texto.

Biosecurity Risk Assessment in the Life Sciences: Towards a Toolkit for Individual Practitioners
Authors: Himmel Mirko
Published: March 2023

There are a number of potential risks and unintended consequences associated with research at the intersection of biological sciences and emerging technologies, including the risk of misuse for malicious purposes. While there are established biorisk management approaches to dealing with these dangers, gaps remain. This paper focuses on the role of individual practitioners in contributing to a larger culture of biosafety and biosecurity. It presents a proposed toolkit that involves a risk assessment process and strategies to manage potential risks. The paper outlines ways to motivate practitioners to proactively take responsibility for considering and managing the biorisks associated with their work, aiming to close the knowledge gap by equipping scientists with appropriate tools to implement a comprehensive biorisk mitigation strategy at the practical level. It concludes by deploying the approach using a potential application from nanobiotechnology for demonstration purposes and considers next steps.

Malnutrisi didefinisikan sebagai ketidakseimbangan antara asupan dan kebutuhan nutrisi. Ketidakseimbangan ini dapat disebabkan karena kebutuhan energi dan protein yang meningkat serta adanya defisiensi mikronutrien. Malnutrisi pada bayi dan anak dapat menyebabkan gangguan tumbuh kembang dan outcome lainnya. Malnutrisi pada anak lebih sering ditemukan pada rawat inap, sedangkan pada bayi lebih sering ditemukan pada bayi prematur. Malnutrisi pada bayi dan anak membutuhkan pemberian nutrisi yang adekuat. Terkadang pemberian nutrisi per oral dan enteral saja tidak cukup, sehingga perlu ditambah atau diganti dengan nutrisi parenteral.
Malnutrition is defined as an imbalance between nutritional intake and needs. This imbalance can be caused by increased energy and protein requirements and micronutrient deficiencies. Malnutrition in infants and children can lead to impaired growth and development and other outcomes. Malnutrition in children is more often found in hospitalization, while in infants it is more often found in premature infants. Malnutrition in infants and children need adequate nutrition; sometimes not adequately provided by oral and enteral nutrition. This condition needs parenteral addition or replacement.
الحركة الصدرية ي العراق: ما بين سياسة االحتجاج وسياسة السلطة
Authors: Mansour Renad , Robin-D’Cruz Benedict
Published: March 2023

The populist Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who led the Shia Islamist Sadrist bloc to a shock victory in the October 2021 elections, prompted heightened political instability in the country in 2022 by announcing his withdrawal from both the process of forming the next government and from Iraqi politics in general. Sadr’s decision to send his followers to invade Iraq’s parliament and Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone then sparked violent conflict that killed dozens. This marked a shift away from the cleric’s previous strategy of building a power base within Iraq’s prevailing political consensus, the muhasasa ethno-sectarian system, towards a much riskier and more destabilizing form of protest-based politics. These events demonstrated the social power held by the Sadrist movement and by its voter base, which is largely made up of poor urban Iraqis and which constitutes one of the largest Islamist movements across the Middle East. The authors of this paper present the findings of a bespoke sociological and political survey of more than 1,000 residents of the Baghdad closed district known as Sadr City, and analyse the shifting trajectory of the Sadrist movement and its implications for Iraq.

This article explores the influence of income poverty on child streetism in urban Tanzania. Specifically, the article focused on analysing the live experiences of street children; and describing the influence of income poverty on streetism of children. The article adopted the descriptive cross-sectional design and involved a total of 56 informants who were purposively selected while the snowballing sampling technique was used in accessing street children. Semi-structured interview, documentary review and observation method were used to collect data. Through thematic and content data analysis techniques this article revealed that street children experienced difficulties in getting their basic needs and did not easily access health services when they fell sick. Further, child streetism has been largely influenced by income poverty. Hence, the study recommends that; develop a formal and functional support system to facilitate children on the street to access the educational services. Regarding coping strategies as an emerged issue, street children engaged into begging, unsafe sex and petty income-generating activities such as car wash and bottle collection. They also used self-medication to treat themselves when they fell sick or being left at the hospital buildings or on the street by their fellow street children when the condition got worse. Additionally, they did not have any coping strategy to enroll themselves into the school.
