Preventing Childhood Neurodisability
Authors:   RCSI UCD Malaysia Campus, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia, Muhammad Ismail Hussain Imam
Published: April 2024

Globally 8.4% of children under 5 years old have a neurodisability. The important factors contributing to this are infection and inflammation, nutrition and quality of care especially during pregnancy and in the first 2 years of life. In an attempt to reduce neurodisability arising from these factors, WHO launched the 1,000 days initiative in 2014. Recent data from the National Health and Morbidity, and Malaysian National Neonatal Registry is a cause for concern. The rate of low weight babies has shown a significant increase during this period. The percentage of pregnant mothers with diabetes has doubled over the last 6 years. In addition, 20% of children under 5 years old are stunted and 46% have anaemia. All of these impact on neurological development, potentially increasing the incidence of developmental disorders and motor deficits.

Pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) is a rare type of gestational cancer. It poses a significant challenge in diagnosis and management, especially in Asian countries with limited resources. We carried out a systematic literature review and narrative synthesis to identify survival outcomes for women with PABC in Asia. We searched MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library and the reference lists of the included English language articles for those conducted between January 2010 and August 2022. The search terms were pregnancy-associated breast cancer, breast cancer AND pregnancy, survival of PABC and prognosis of PABC patients. PABC is defined as breast cancer diagnosed either during pregnancy or 1 year–5 years postpartum. This review included observational studies conducted in Asian countries. The final 11 articles met the selection criteria and were analysed. Five of the studies had high quality methods as assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist. We reported study design, year of diagnosis, country, definition of PABC, control group, age of participants, median follow-up time, survival outcomes and pregnancy as prognostic factors. Only five studies reported that PABC patients had a poor overall or disease-free survival rate compared to the control. Pregnancy was a significant independent prognostic factor of breast cancer in only two studies. This review highlights that pregnancy has an unconfirmed association with breast cancer survival in Asia. Most studies that found a non-significant association had small samples, thus there is a need for large-scale multinational epidemiological studies in Asia to establish the survival outcomes in PABC patients.

This study aimed to review the literature on healthcare facilities and medical tourism from a range of nations that have established medical tourism sectors and assess the effect of healthcare facilities on medical tourism. A bibliometric study of the Scopus database was carried out by using the search terms ‘(Facility AND of AND healthcare) AND TITLE-ABS-KEY (health AND tourism) AND medical tourism’ for the years 2012–2022. A qualitative evaluation of the literature was then performed to find and locate 92 articles. VOSviewer and NVivo 12 Plus were employed for data analysis. The findings indicated that the following trending subject keywords were used during the period in question: health (rate 1.97), medicine (rate 1.91), tourism (rate 1.70), care (rate 0.83), facilities (rate 0.64) and healthcare (rate 0.61). Furthermore, this research identified four distinct clusters: i) medical tourism, ii) healthcare quality, iii) healthcare system and iv) health services. The study found that healthcare facilities, as actors that have a role in the development of medical tourism, have not been sufficiently explored, even though there is evidence that they play a role in the growth of the sector. This result is in line with Heung’s argument, which makes the same point.
Estimating modal mineralogy using Raman spectroscopy: Multivariate analysis models and Raman cross-section proxies
Authors: Breitenfeld Laura B. , Dyar M. Darby , Glotch Timothy D. , Rogers A. Deanne , Eleazer Miriam
Published: April 2024

Raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique in the context of planetary exploration because it provides information on mineral identification, chemistry, and abundance. For Raman spectrometers with large spot sizes, multiple mineral phases can be investigated by collecting a single Raman spectrum. There is a lack of methodology for quantifying mineral species in mixtures due to the independent signal strengths of different materials in Raman spectra. Two techniques are presented in this work for quantifying common rock-forming minerals: partial least-squares multivariate analysis and a novel approach called Raman cross-section proxies (numerical metrics associated with specific Raman features). This paper targets 20 mineral species relevant to the mineralogy of the planet Mars. Mineral end-member samples and 187 binary mineral-mineral mixtures (mixture of two distinct minerals) are used for multivariate modeling. Eighteen diamond-mineral mixtures are used to derive Raman cross-section proxies. Mineral abundance proportions are predicted for the binary mineral-mineral mixtures with known mineralogical content to evaluate the efficacy of the two quantitative methods. Technique performance is mineral dependent. The root mean square error for unseen predictions (RMSE-P) using Raman cross-section proxies ranges from ±3.2–17.0 vol%. For the multivariate models, the cross-validated root mean square error (RMSE-CV) ranges from ±8.8 to 26.2 vol%. Although these error estimates are not directly comparable, they provide the most accurate error estimate currently available. Different scenarios may favor the use of one or the other of the two quantitative methods. This work provides fundamental groundwork that can be applied to common rock-forming minerals on terrestrial planets, including Mars. Quantification of mineral abundances aids in answering critical geologic questions related to ancient primary and altered rocks as well as planetary processes and conditions.
An Enigmatic Play: When Skulls Speak Loudly A Deconstructive Reading of Shakespeare’s Hamlet
Authors: Tekşen İsmail
Published: April 2024

Being vivacious and colourful members of the medieval and Renaissance courts, jesters served for a variety of recreational purposes in addition to having the oblique subaltern voices in the administration of the kingdoms. Despite their ostentatious clothing and jaunty manners, which they manifested while delivering jokes and tricks, their contribution to the royal administration had to be indirect and clever. Indeed, these men of great observation and acute cunning used their humour in order to voice what cannot be expressed by the others. In their peculiar kind of way that was also associated with their divergent nature, jesters were inclined to act as the advocates of truth which had to be suppressed or ignored at times in face of royal hegemony. As a rather skilled playwright, who was also familiar with the conventions of the court manners, Shakespeare spared an exceptionally subtle role for the character of the jester in his plays. This role reveals itself through witty jokes of criticism masked by the jolly words of a fool. Nevertheless, Shakespeare ascribes a markedly grim condition for his late jester Yorick who has to deliver his criticism through his deceased body, a skull per se. Deriving mobility from the Derridean sense of decentralizing the meaning, the article employs a deconstructionist reading of Hamlet through the absence of a jester to exhibit how the lack of a critical perspective may yield catastrophic dim-sightedness.
Örgütsel Özdeşleşme ve İş Tatmininin Zaman Hırsızlığı Üzerindeki Etkileri
Authors: Çakır Temel Nisan Nur , Çetiner Nurcan
Published: April 2024

Sağlık sektöründeki çalışanların verimliliği ve etik davranışları, hasta bakım kalitesi ve örgütsel başarının temel taşlarıdır. Düşük iş tatminine sahip çalışanlarda gözlemlenen verimlilik kaybı, sık işe devamsızlık ve hatta örgütten ayrılma gibi olumsuz sonuçlar hem bireysel hem de kurumsal düzeyde etkiler yaratmaktadır. Örgütsel davranış alan yazınında son yıllarda bahsi geçen zaman hırsızlığı çalışanların verimliliğini etkileyen, etik dışı, istenmeyen davranışlar olarak nitelendirilmektedir. Bu bağlamda, Türkiye'deki sağlık sektöründe çalışanların iş tatmin düzeyleri, örgütsel özdeşleşme ve zaman hırsızlığı davranışları arasındaki ilişkinin incelendiği bu çalışma, sektörün etik ve verimlilik boyutundaki kritik dinamikleri ortaya koymaktadır. Araştırmanın evrenini Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Sağlık Bakanlığının 2023 verileri doğrultusunda 1.420.000 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle erişilen 303 sağlık sektörü çalışanından anket yöntemi ile veriler toplanmıştır. Katılımcıların yüksek iş tatmini ve örgütsel özdeşleşme düzeyleri belirlenirken, zaman hırsızlığı eğiliminin nispeten düşük olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. İş tatmininin artışı, zaman hırsızlığı davranışını azaltma eğilimi göstermektedir. Örgütsel özdeşleşmenin özellikle geleneksel zaman hırsızlığı üzerinde belirleyici etkisinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Cinsiyet temelli analizler, kadınların erkeklere kıyasla daha az zaman hırsızlığı davranışı sergilediğini ortaya koymuştur. Bu bulgular, sağlık sektöründeki etik davranış ve çalışan motivasyonunun yönetimi için stratejik bilgiler sunmaktadır. Yöneticilere, iş tatminini artırma ve örgütsel bağlılığı teşvik etme üzerine odaklanmaları önerilmektedir. Bu sonuçlar, örgütsel etik ve performans literatürüne derinlemesine bir katkı sunmaktadır.
Accelerating research processes with Scopus AI: A place branding case study

Published: April 2024

Academic databases play a crucial role in advancing science by hosting a vast array of peer-reviewed literature. However, academic database search tools involve a relatively slow and rather unintuitive process of searching and evaluating content. To address these challenges, in January 2024, Elsevier introduced Scopus AI, a generative artificial intelligence that synthesises evidence indexed in Scopus based on prompts. This study assesses the utility of Scopus AI (in its beta version at the time of the research), within the context of a doctoral thesis through a specific case study. By employing a relational prompt and three follow-up questions, the study aims to pinpoint intersections between different topics within the realm of Social Sciences and, more specifically, Communication, with a case on place branding. The consolidated result provides an initial list of references, offers a comprehensive overview, and allows to generate a meta-synthesis based on the summaries provided by each prompt. Scopus AI (beta) presents features that enable researchers to identify influential authors and works, explore relevant keywords, review recent literature, and identify potential research gaps. Although Scopus AI has some limitations, such as the dependence on the abstracts of documents indexed in Scopus, the simplification of concepts, or the relative disconnection between arguments, the results demonstrate the value of this tool in accelerating research processes, as it synthesises research in a given area, maps its main characteristics and allows for information discovery.

Osmanlı Devleti tarafından 1388’de fethedilen Rusçuk, zamanla gelişerek önemli bir şehir konumuna yükseldi. XVI. yüzyılda nüfus yapısı değişen ve Türk İslam şehrine dönüşen Rusçuk, XVII. yüzyılın başlarından itibaren Roma döneminde olduğu gibi Tuna filosunun merkezi oldu. XVIII. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Rusçuk 1768-1774 ve 1787-1792 savaşları dolayısıyla tehdit altında kaldı. Bu dönemde şehrin etrafı tahkim edildi. Taşlarla desteklenen derin ve kuru hendekler kazıldı, siperler, tabyalar oluşturuldu. 1773’te Ruslar, Rusçuk’un hemen dışında ağır bir yenilgiye uğradı. Bu çalışmada 1768-1774 yılları arasında meydana gelen savaşlarda Rusçuk kazasının; ordu iaşesi, ulaşım araçları ve asker temini, malzeme ve asker naklinde üstlendiği fonksiyon ele alınmıştır. Zahire temininde ana merkezlerden birisi olan Rusçuk’tan hem doğrudan zahire tedarik edilmiş hem de civardaki kazalardan toplanan zahire buradan nakledilmiştir. Savaşlar sırasında gemi personeli, serdengeçti askerleri ve köprü yapımında istihdam edilen usta ve amele, üstü açık, şalope türü ince donanma gemileri ile öküz arabası ve top arabalarının çekilmesinde kullanılan atların bir kısmı Rusçuk’tan temin edilmiştir. Ayrıca Rusçuk kazasından savaşlara finansal destek sağlanmıştır. İmdâd-ı seferiyye, avârız ve nüzül bedeli karşılığında belli aralıklarla nakit para toplanmıştır. Ana kaynak olarak Cumhurbaşkanlığı Osmanlı Arşivi’ndeki muhtelif kataloglarda bulunan arşiv kayıtları kullanılmıştır. Bu kayıtlar; ordu iaşesi, ulaşım araçları ve asker temininde Rusçuk kazasının katkısı ve Rusçuk İskelesi’nin malzeme ve asker naklinde üstlendiği fonksiyon hususunda dikkat çekici bilgiler ihtiva etmektedir.

Strategizing Customers’ Emotional Response to Brands
Authors: Trifonov Nikolay , Khvorostyanaya Anna
Published: April 2024

As market competition and information glut keep increasing, effective brands are becoming a valuable intellectual capital. A company brand that conveys a certain meaning can bring the product it advertises to strategic leadership. A strong and competitive brand possesses emotional intelligence that provides it with individuality and exerts psychological impact on consumer behavior. Neuropsychology and neuromarketing are the most relevant strategic tools capable of increasing business sales. However, the emotional impact of commercial brands on customers’ minds and actions remains understudied. The authors used the theory and methodology of strategizing developed by Professor V.L. Kvint to identify efficient emotion-affecting tools as part of a brand development strategy. Other methods included analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, and benchmarking. The article describes the key trends in the field of emotional response as a corporate strategic priority and gives some practical recommendations on brand strategizing via emotional impact solutions.

The article presents the analysis of narrative texts, which represent the linguocultural type kazakhstani student. The interest to this research stems from the necessity of developing the algorithm for narrative analysis from the linguocultural point of view, as well as the reason-ability of addressing such a social group as the student which is so important for researchers in different linguocultural communities It is proved that through the narrative dimension a rather rich set of figurative characteristics of a student can be revealed, since in the sequence of events a student’s verbal and non-verbal behaviour is realised, his/her speech portrait is formed, the environment under the influence of which a student is, the student’s appearance is drawn, which becomes recognisable and typical. The authors tried to identify the goals, motives, attitudes, interests and intensities, which, acting as the most significant, are actualized in the minds of students in modern Kazakhstan, through the narrative picture of the student’s world. The research corpus was textual fragments from publicist texts of Kazakhstani media, containing events of students’ life, as well as essays and texts of students from the Internet. The applied narrative analysis allowed the authors to identify situational motives and attitudes of linguocultural type student, implemented in the narrative text, thanks to which some common and distinctive features of the representatives of modern Kazakh youth are highlighted. In the conclusion it is shown that the study of linguistic personality in the narratological aspect opens up new possibilities for modelling generalized personality.
Non-usual feminitives in media discourse: An active process
Authors:   HSE University, Kulikova Valentina A.
Published: April 2024

The active process of non-usual feminitives’ creation and its distribution in modern media discourse is studied. The object of the study is feminitive neologisms with the suffix -к- (авторка ‘female author’, блогерка ‘female blogger’, редакторка ‘female editor’, режиссерка ‘female director’, etc.) in media discourse. The material of the study is a self-assembled corpus of non-usual feminitives in the media. The corpus, compiled using the keyword search technique and marked manually, contains 699 contexts. The source of the material are electronic media of various ideological and thematic orientations, with the wide audience and important place in the modern media discourse. Identified feminitives were analyzed with the method of structural-semantic, word-formation analysis, contexts were studied using discursive, pragmatic, metapragmatic analysis. The active word-formation process is analyzed in a complex way from a structural, semantic, pragmatic, sociolinguistic point of view, which motivates the novelty of the study. The functioning of non-usual feminitives in media texts (both in the author’s speech and in interviewees’ direct speech) indicates the presence of an active process of feminitives’ distribution in the media discourse, previously recorded mainly in informal Internet communication. As a result of the analysis, the semantics of frequent non-usual feminitives was studied. The features of feminitives’ functioning in various media were revealed in correlation with its ideological and thematic orientation, characteristics of the target audience. In a pragmatic aspect, the main functions of non-usual feminitives in media texts were analyzed: nominative, stylistic functions, functions of identification and self-identification, the function of an object of metalinguistic reflection.

Published: April 2024

This study aims to compare the association networks of 40 pairs of recent nominal anglicisms and their Serbian equivalents among 100 philology students by using a word association test. The results of the qualitative and quantitative analyses of the associative responses indicated that different, yet related, parts of the respondents’ mental lexicon are activated as a reaction to the stimuli. We concluded that there were strong tendencies for the complete acceptance of the selected recent anglicisms into the existing Serbian lexicon, as illustrated by the encyclopedic knowledge evident in the responses; that Serbian equivalents were the most frequent responses to the recent anglicisms; that responses which reflect clear linguacultural elements indicated a greater influence of the local culture; and that the recent anglicisms were less prone to superordinate and subordinate responses. In sum, our respondents, all L1 Serbian speakers, did not equally accept all 40 of the recent anglicisms compared to their Serbian equivalents, which in this study represent the norm. The acceptance of the selected recent anglicisms into the Serbian lexical system cannot be reduced solely to the criterion of necessity; instead, we propose that their scalar presentation be implemented in future research.
LULC dynamics and the effects of urban green spaces in cooling and mitigating micro-climate change and urban heat island effects: a case study in Addis Ababa City, Ethiopia
Authors: Demisse Negesse Mulugeta , Hishe Solomon , Getahun Kefelegn
Published: April 2024

Land surface temperature (LST) increase and urban heat islands (UHI) are significant issues in urban development. Urban green spaces are crucial in combating micro-climate change. This study assesses their effects on cooling and mitigating micro-climate change in Addis Ababa using remotely sensed data from Landsat 5 TM (1990), Landsat 7 ETM+ (2005), and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS (2021). LST was retrieved using mono-window algorithms for Landsat 5 and Landsat 7, and the split-window algorithm for Landsat 8. Regression and correlation analyses of LST and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) were conducted using SPSS V23, STATA, and R Studio. Results showed a decrease in urban green space (UGS) from 120.4 km² in 1990 to 76.26 km² in 2021. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that built-up areas and green vegetation accounted for 92.2% of LST variations. The cooling efficiency (CE) and threshold value (TVoE) of green space were calculated as 4.5 ± 0.5 hectares. This suggests that allocating green spaces of this size effectively reduces heat effects. Strengthening public participation in urban greening is crucial to mitigate micro-climate change, sustain urban development, and improve quality of life. Built-up areas and vegetation significantly impact LST more than surface water (NDWI), essential for urban green and land-use planning to minimize urbanization impacts.

Published: April 2024

Background:

We have previously demonstrated that oxidative stress and brain mitochondrial
dysfunction are key mediators of brain pathology during myocardial infarction (MI).

Objective:

To investigate the beneficial effects of mitochondrial dynamic modulators, including mitochondrial
fission inhibitor (Mdivi-1) and mitochondrial fusion promotor (M1), on cognitive function
and molecular signaling in the brain of MI rats in comparison with the effect of enalapril.

Methods:

Male rats were assigned to either sham or MI operation. In the MI group, rats with an ejection
Fraction less than 50% were included, and then they received one of the following treatments for
5 weeks: vehicle, enalapril, Mdivi-1, or M1. Cognitive function was tested, and the brains were used
for molecular study.

Results:

MI rats exhibited cardiac dysfunction with systemic oxidative stress. Cognitive impairment
was found in MI rats, along with dendritic spine loss, blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, brain mitochondrial
dysfunction, and decreased mitochondrial and increased glycolysis metabolism, without
the alteration of APP, BACE-1, Tau and p-Tau proteins. Treatment with Mdivi-1, M1, and enalapril
equally improved cognitive function in MI rats. All treatments decreased dendritic spine loss, brain
mitochondrial oxidative stress, and restored mitochondrial metabolism. Brain mitochondrial fusion
was recovered only in the Mdivi-1-treated group.

Conclusion:

Mitochondrial dynamics modulators improved cognitive function in MI rats through a
reduction of systemic oxidative stress and brain mitochondrial dysfunction and the enhancement
of mitochondrial metabolism. In addition, this mitochondrial fission inhibitor increased mitochondrial
fusion in MI rats.
Digital Interventions for Combating Internet Addiction in Young Children: Qualitative Study of Parent and Therapist Perspectives (Preprint)
Authors: Theopilus Yansen , Al Mahmud Abdullah , Davis Hilary , Octavia Johanna Renny
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND

Internet addiction is an emerging mental health issue in this digital age. Nowadays, children start using the internet in early childhood, thus making them vulnerable to addictive use. Previous studies have reported that the risk of internet addiction tends to be higher in lower-income regions with lower quality of life, such as Indonesia. Indonesia has high risks and prevalence of internet addiction, including in children. Digital interventions have been developed as an option to combat internet addiction in children. However, little is known about what parents and therapists in Indonesia perceive about these types of interventions.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate the experiences, perceptions, and considerations of parents and therapists regarding digital interventions for combating internet addiction in young Indonesian children.

METHODS

This study used a qualitative exploratory approach through semistructured interviews. We involved 22 parents of children aged 7 to 11 years and 6 experienced internet addiction therapists for children. The interview data were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis.

RESULTS

Participants in this study recognized 3 existing digital interventions to combat internet addiction: Google Family Link, YouTube Kids, and Apple parental control. They perceived that digital interventions could be beneficial in continuously promoting healthy digital behavior in children and supporting parents in supervision. However, the existing interventions were not highly used due to limitations such as the apps’ functionality and usability, parental capability, parent-child relationships, cultural incompatibility, and data privacy.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings suggest that digital interventions should focus not only on restricting and monitoring screen time but also on suggesting substitutive activities for children, developing children’s competencies to combat addictive behavior, improving digital literacy in children and parents, and supporting parental decision-making to promote healthy digital behavior in their children. Suggestions for future digital interventions are provided, such as making the existing features more usable and relatable, investigating gamification features to enhance parental motivation and capability in managing their children’s internet use, providing tailored or personalized content to suit users’ characteristics, and considering the provision of training and information about the use of interventions and privacy agreements.
Digital Health Equity: Broadband Access and Associations with Health Outcomes in Priority Counties (Preprint)
Authors: Green Reese , von Franque Max , Salvati Gabriella , Martinez Melissa , Martin Alister
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND

The relationship between broadband access and health outcomes is an emerging field of interest within public health research. In an increasingly digital world, it is important to understand how to best allocate broadband resources to maximize health impact. This study specifically investigates how levels of broadband connectivity are associated with health metrics such as diabetes, obesity, and preventable hospitalizations in counties identified as having critical needs by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

OBJECTIVE

To understand the longitudinal relationship between broadband access and health outcomes in priority counties, specifically diabetes, obesity, and preventable hospitalizations.

METHODS

This study investigates the relationship between broadband access and diabetes, obesity, and preventable hospitalizations from 2017-2020. Using regression models to analyze data from 172 counties identified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as having critical needs (i.e. low broadband access and high disease rates), we explore how broadband subscriptions and speeds affect health outcomes, controlling for county characteristics.

RESULTS

A 1% increase in broadband subscriptions was associated with a 0.6% decrease in the odds ratio [OR] for diabetes (OR=0.994, 95% CI 0.992-0.997). A 1% increase in broadband subscriptions corresponded to a 0.6% (standardized ???? coefficient=0.994, 95% CI 0.992-0.997, P<.001) reduction in preventable hospitalizations. No significant relationship was found between broadband and obesity rates.

CONCLUSIONS

Our data suggests that increased access to broadband may be correlated to decreased rates of diabetes and preventable hospitalizations in FCC priority counties. The study highlights the importance of considering county characteristics in public health outreach and supports broadband access’s potential to improve health equity by addressing disparities in rural, persistent poverty counties.

Thick scoriaceous tephra-fall deposits are widely distributed in the south to the southeast flank of Mt. Raung, indicating the existence of past large explosive eruptions. The deposits are relatively young as the deposits are situated near the surface. Scoriaceous tephra-fall deposits can be divided into four layers from bottom to top, Scoria Fall 1, Scoria Fall 2, Scoria Fall 3, and Scoria Fall 4. There is no time gap between these layers, as evidenced by the deposits not being separated by any weathered layer or soil, suggesting that the deposits represent an eruptive product of a single active period. We estimated the volume of the deposits using isopach maps following Weibull method to identify the magnitude of the eruption. We limited the estimation only to Scoria Fall 2 and Scoria Fall 3 deposits which were consistently exposed on 13 and 9 observation points, respectively. The volume of Scoria Fall 2 is ~0.54 km3 and Scoria Fall 3 is ~0.26 km3 making the total volume of 0.8 km3 (VEI 4).

Background: The increased incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) necessitates continuous promotional and preventive activities to reduce morbidity and mortality. Since NCDs cannot spread like infectious diseases, they are frequently neglected. In addition, NCDs represent a significant health burden as they can develop chronic consequences and lead to fatalities. The growing burden of NCDs is attributed to increased risk factors, including elevated blood pressure, obesity, body mass index, and blood sugar levels. Furthermore, NCDs can be the primary factor in long-term decreased productivity, leading to detrimental effects on social and economic resources. Some NCDs that are receiving the most attention and have the highest prevalence are hypertension and obesity. This paper aimed to present the prevalence of hypertension and obesity in a village community. Methods: We hosted a Gerai Tensi program as one of the community-based attempts to identify and screen for NCDs. This program was conducted in Dukuh Gowongan RT 003/ RW 002, Pucangan Village, Kartasura District, Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. All the residents aged ≥15 years old were invited to attend Gerai Tensi. The participant's blood pressure, height, weight, and waist circumference were measured. Results: A total of 75 residents of Dukuh Gowongan attended Gerai Tensi. Most participants were female (53.3%), aged 46–55 (24.0%). There were 54.7% (41/75) of participants with hypertension, mainly classified as stage I hypertension (31/75; 41.3%), and 58.7% (44/75) of participants who were obese, mostly grade I obesity (28/75; 37.3%). Conclusion: Hypertension and obesity are prevalent in the community, reaching more than half of the study participants. Coordination with the community health centre and village representatives is required to optimize the promotion and prevention activities, the treatment of diseases, and the sustainability of the Gerai Tensi program.

The increasing religious enthusiasm of some Indonesians has become a target for extremist actors to spread their ideas and concepts. In fact, extremism can threaten the integrity of the nation and state. This article aims to discover the strategies Islami.co and Bincangsyariah.com used in conducting counter-narratives of extremism through online media. Islami.co and Bincangsyariah.com are moderate Islamic media involved in the Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) program through the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). This article uses a qualitative approach with content analysis techniques over supported data which are founders of Islami.co and Bincangsyariah.com as informants. Their published articles consist of counter-narrative extremism themes. The article primarily investigates the methods Islami.co and Bincangsyariah.com use to promote moderate Islamic content in the digital realm. The findings reveal that these sites engage in counter-narrative strategies by scrutinizing the arguments and claims of individuals or groups promoting extremism, thereby highlighting their fallacies. Moreover, they craft and disseminate alternative narratives that represent moderate Islam. As a result, Islami.co and Bincangsyariah.com have successfully exposed the flaws in the reasoning of pro-violence groups. However, further research is necessary to gauge the broader societal impact of these counter-narrative efforts.

Published: April 2024

Low Earth orbit (LEO) radio occultation (RO) constellations can provide
global electron density profiles (EDPs) to better specify and forecast
the ionosphere-thermosphere (I-T) system. To inform future RO
constellation design, this study uses comprehensive Observing System
Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) to assess the ionospheric specification
impact of assimilating synthetic EDPs into a coupled I-T model. These
OSSEs use 10 different sets of RO constellation configurations
containing 6 or 12 LEO satellites with base orbit parameter combinations
of 520 km or 800 km altitude, and 24 degrees or 72 degrees inclination.
The OSSEs are performed using the Ensemble Adjustment Kalman Filter
implemented in the Data Assimilation Research Testbed and the
Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Electrodynamics General Circulation Model
(TIEGCM). A different I-T model is used for the nature run, the Whole
Atmosphere Model-Ionosphere Plasmasphere Electrodynamics (WAM-IPE), to
simulate the period of interest is the St. Patrick’s Day storm on March
13-18, 2015. Errors from models and EDP retrieval are realistically
accounted for in this study through distinct I-T models and by
retrieving synthetic EDPs through an extension Abel inversion algorithm.
OSSE assessment, using multiple metrics, finds that greater EDP spatial
coverage leading to improved specification at altitudes 300 km and
above, with the 520 km altitude constellations performing best due to
yielding the highest observation counts. A potential performance limit
is suggested with two 6-satellite constellations. Lastly, close
examination of Abel inversion error impacts highlights major EDP
limitations at altitudes below 200 km and dayside equatorial regions
with large horizontal gradients and low electron density magnitudes.
Lithospheric Thickness, Rift and Inversion Tectonics: The Formation and Deformation of the Neoproterozoic Katangan Basin of Central Africa.

Published: April 2024

The tectono-stratigraphic development of continental basins is key to
our understanding of the location and scale of metal deposits required
by the energy transition. We examine the Neo-proterozoic Katangan copper
basin of Central Africa to determine the link between lithosphere and
crust and the generation of potential fluid pathways. Integration of
lithospheric thickness, quantitative basin analysis and structure,
defines a basin scale tectono-stratigraphic model for controls on
potential fluid pathways. The basin developed along the thinned (140-170
km thick) margins of the Congo, Kalahari and Bangweulu cratons. Crustal
scale fault zones define these margins and imply a mechanical weakness
in the basin. Drill core and seismic data show extensional, half graben
geometries. Basin subsidence analysis indicates two phases of
rift-driven subsidence and increasing lithospheric extension from the
basin boundary to a Central Rift Zone (CRZ). The CRZ also maps out as a
sediment provenance boundary. Subsequent Late Ediacaran and Cambrian
orogenesis and rift-fault inversion occurred most intensively within the
CRZ. Basin expulsion and thrust tectonics resulted in a narrow belt of
crustal thickening defined today by a ~50 km wide zone
of garnet amphibolite facies metamorphism. The spatial coincidence of
early crustal extension, relatively thin lithosphere, and later intense
basin inversion along the CRZ, indicates that pre-existing crustal
structure and weakness was a key tectonic control. The reactivated
structures define several tectonic domains, control basin architecture
within the zones and occur as potential fluid pathways for high volume
fluid migration for metal bearing brines.
Shallow convective heating in weak temperature gradient balance explains mesoscale vertical motions in the trades

Published: April 2024

Earth’s climate sensitivity depends on how shallow clouds in the trades
respond to changes in the large-scale tropical circulation with warming.
In all theory for this cloud-circulation coupling, it is assumed that
the clouds are controlled by the field of vertical motion on horizontal
scales larger than the convection’s depth (~1 km). Yet
this assumption has been challenged both by recent in-situ observations,
and idealised large-eddy simulations (LESs). Here, we therefore bring
together the recent observations, new analysis from satellite data, and
a forty-day, large-domain (1600 x 900 km2) LES of the North Atlantic
from the 2020 EUREC4A field campaign, in search of new explanations for
the interaction between shallow convection and vertical motions, on
scales between 10-1000 km (mesoscales). Across all datasets, the shallow
mesoscale vertical motions are consistently represented, ubiquitous,
frequently organised into circulations, and formed without imprinting
themselves on the mesoscale buoyancy field. This allows us to employ the
weak-temperature gradient approximation, which shows that between at
least 12.5-400 km scales, the vertical motion balances heating
fluctuations in groups of precipitating shallow cumuli. That is, across
the mesoscales, shallow convection controls the vertical motion in the
trades, and does not simply adjust to it. In turn, the mesoscale
convective heating patterns appear to consistently grow through
moisture-convection feedback. Therefore, to represent and understand the
cloud-circulation coupling of trade cumuli, the full range of scales
between the synoptics and the hectometre must be included in our
conceptual and numerical models.
Evaluating Proton Intensities for the SMILE Mission
Authors: Mischel Simon Patrick , Kronberg Elena A. , Escoubet Christopher Philippe
Published: April 2024

This study introduces five linear regression models developed to
accurately predict proton intensities in the critical energy range of
92.2 keV to 159.7 keV. To achieve this task we utilized 14 years of data
sourced from the Cluster’s RAPID experiment and NASA’s OMNI database.
This data was then aligned with the Solar wind-Magnetosphere-Ionosphere
Link Explorer (SMILE) mission’s trajectory, to increase model accuracy
in the relevant regions. Our approach diverges from existing
methodologies by offering a user-friendly model that doesn’t require
specialized software, making it accessible for broader applications in
satellite mission planning and risk assessment. The research segregates
the dataset into four distinct regions, each analyzed for proton
intensity dynamics. In the outer regions (|YGSE| ≥ 6
Re) there is a pronounced dependence on radial distance and solar wind
speed. In contrast, the inner regions (|YGSE| ≤ 6 Re)
demonstrate a significant dependence of proton intensities on the
absolute value of the z-coordinate and the magnetic field line topology.
Our models achieved a Spearman correlation ranging from 0.57 to 0.72 on
the test set, indicating good predictive capabilities. The findings
emphasize the role of regional characteristics in space weather
prediction and underscore the potential for tailored approaches in
future research.
