A Study on Narrative Identity of University Student Graduating from Gifted High School
Authors:   Korean Association of Christian Counseling & Psychology, Bang Hyi Jo
Published: January 2025

This study discussed the essence of the psychological conflict the university students who graduated from science gifted high school and the experiences in the process of building their identity and the direction of psychological support for them. The gifted have a heavy burden of achievement. And the prejudice from others makes them lonely. And the discourse of the gifted in our society pushes them into an excessive competitive situation. The gifted are likely to lose their true self and reinforce their false self. Therefore they need the others who can accept them as beings rather than achievements and listen to the inner truth beyond the frame of the gifted. We should also encourage them beyond socio-cultural discourse. When the value of horizontal diversity is prioritized over vertical superiority and inferiority, they will be able to enjoy their own life while giving back the gifts from God.

Published: January 2025

The investigation was conducted in March to June, 2022 at CAU research farm Andro, Imphal East, Manipur, India to study the nature, magnitude and interrelationships of genetic variation present within various characters of mung bean. This study included 27 mung bean genotypes in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Analysis of variance revealed significant genetic variation (p<0.01) for all studied traits. Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) values was higher than genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) values, indicating some environmental influence on trait expression. High heritability (>60%) was observed for plant height, number of clusters plant-1, pod length, number of seeds plant-1, 100-seed weight, protein%, and seed yield plant-1. These traits also exhibited high genetic advance (>20%), suggesting a significant role of additive gene effects. Seed yield plant-1 displayed positive correlations with number of clusters plant-1, number of pods plant-1, pod length, number of seed pod-1 and 100-seed weight at both phenotypic and genotypic levels. Path analysis revealed that number of pods  plant-1 and number of seeds pod-1 were the most significant contributors to seed yield. These findings suggest that selection for these traits, along with indirect selection for pod length, 100-seed weight, flowering time, and protein%, could be effective strategies for improving mung bean yield.

grotesco, o marginal e a estranheza no romance Favelost, de Fausto Fawcett
Authors: Celestino Ricardo
Published: January 2025

Este artigo analisa as estratégias de construção de sentidos dos enunciados literários presentes no romance Favelost (2012), de Fausto Fawcett. Selecionamos como referencial teórico-metodológico a Análise do Discurso proposta por Dominique Maingueneau, que propõe a necessidade de organização de um quadro hermenêutico para a leitura crítica de enunciados literários. Optamos por um quadro hermenêutico constituído por: a literatura marginal, caracterizada por dar voz a personagens e cenários frequentemente relegados à periferia da sociedade; a poética da incerteza, que opera por meio de uma suspensão contínua da descrença, mantendo o coenunciador em um estado de hesitação entre explicações racionais e sobrenaturais; e o grotesco, ferramenta poderosa para destacar as aberrações e injustiças sociais, utilizando o choque e a perturbação para provocar uma reação emocional no coenunciador. Demonstramos que a confluência das três formações discursivas não apenas reforça o caráter especulativo da amostra selecionada, mas também proporciona uma leitura crítica aprofundada.

Muhammad Iqbal's Philosophy of Khudi (A Critical Analysis of Modern Science)
Authors: Hidayat Alfan , Alamsah Johan
Published: January 2025

Abstract;Science is one of the most significant factors in approaching and identifying objects. It requires the foundation of actual self-awareness, such as understanding Khudi. The path of modernity and the increasing spirit of the Western Renaissance forced modern science to behave fragmentarily. As a result, the physical dimension is distinct from the metaphysical dimension, which is defined by values and morals. Therefore, this research aims to examine specific characteristics and perspectives of modern science, which will then be critiqued through the perspective of Muhammad Iqbal's Khudi philosophy. The study is library research with a philosophical approach, assessing the data critically. According to the findings of this study, Muhammad Iqbal's Khudi has a comprehensive-integral effect on a person by reviewing his consciousness. Thus, this philosophy provides universality, wise judgment, and a positive life connection from a philosophical standpoint, particularly for our era of scientific developments that serve as a reference for modern living.Keywords:Khudi; Modern; Renaissance; Science; Universal. Abstrak;Sains merupakan salah satu hal yang penting dalam upaya mendekati, dan mengenal objek-objek yang ada, maka perlu dasar kesadaran diri yang benar sepeti pemahaman khudi. Sebab, arah kemodernan dengan semangat Renaisans Barat yang berkembang menjadikan Sains Modern berprilaku fregmentatif.  Sehingga dimensi fisik terlepas dari dimensi metafisik yang syarat akan nilai, serta moral. Maka, penelitian ini berusaha menganalisa aspek dan sisi tertentu pada sains modern, untuk kemudian dikritisi dengan perspektif dari khudi Muhammad Iqbal Penelitian merupakan library research dengan menggunakan pendekatan filosofis secara analisis-kritis, atas data-data. Hasil penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa Khudi Muhammad Iqbal memiliki pengaruh yang komperhensif-Integral pada diri seseorang dengan tinjauan kesadarannya. Sehingga, itu membawa keuniversalan, pertimbangan bijak, dan keterkaitan hidup yang baik dari basis filosofis, terutama bagi tren sains era ini yang dipakai sebagai rujukan hidup yang modern.Kata Kunci:   Khudi; Modern; Renaisans; Sains; Universal.
The Role of Muhammad Iqbal in Islamic Thought
Authors: Amir Ahmad Nabil , Rahman Tasnim Abdul
Published: January 2025

Abstract;Since the middle of 19th century, Muslims have made their ways to variously response to the ideas of modernity, many of which were markedly inspired by the pan-Islamist activist, Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, who started to espouse modern aspiration and inaugurate the Islamic reform movement throughout the Muslim world. This paper highlights the role of Muhammad Iqbal (1879-1938) in Islamic thought, through his philosophical premises to awaken the new Islamic consciousness in the Indian subcontinent, in continuing the tradition of al-Afghani and his religious struggle. The study was qualitative in nature designed based on documentary survey and analysis. It reviews related materials from normative and inductive perspectives. The data were analysed using scientific, descriptive, analytical and historical approaches to reach the final conclusion. The finding shows that Iqbal had formulated unprecedented ideas toward reconstruction and modernization in political, economic and social aspect. His works manifested broad and cohesive philosophical arguments and influences that largely impacted Muslim thought which help to develop their rational and dynamic framework to reconstruct the significance dimension of ijtihad and renewed their profound spiritual and metaphysical consciousness of the perennial and transcendental values of religion and its relevance to the modern context.Keywords:Applied Islamology; Arkoun; Episteme; Socio-Humanities Applications. Abstrak;Sejak pertengahan abad ke-19, umat Islam telah memberikan berbagai bentuk respon terhadap kemodenan, yang banyak diilhamkan dari pemikiran Sayyid Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, pencetus idea pan-Islam. Artikel ini menyorot peranan Muhammad Iqbal (1879-1938) ahli falsafah dan pujangga Islam dari Selatan India dalam melanjutkan perjuangan al-Afghani dalam membangkitkan kefahaman baru Islam yang progresif. Premis falsafah yang dibangunkan dalam karya-karyanya memperlihatkan idea-idea pembaharuan yang mendalam tentang aspek-aspek perubahan dan pemodenan dalam konstruk politik, ekonomi dan sosial.

Old-new enemy on the horizon? New factors for measuring inflation in Visegrad countries consumer baskets
Authors: Sipiczki Zoltán , Kralovics Máté Bence , Tatay Tibor , Varga József
Published: January 2025

The impact of inflation on the economy cannot be ignored as it can affect it either positively or negatively. This is because inflation has a broad impact on the macroeconomy, such as economic growth, competitiveness and the distribution of wealth. Therefore, the way in which it is measured also requires particular attention. Our hypothesis is that the weights of the consumer baskets measuring inflation in the Central European countries (Visegrad countries: Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary) change dynamically under the influence of modern causes of inflation and we assume that the composition of the inflation baskets moves together due to the similar economic environment. The Visegrad countries (V4), consisting of Poland, Hungary, Czechia, and Slovakia, were selected for this study due to their unique position as a loose economic and political alliance within the European Union. While geographically close, these countries have different economic structures and policy responses, making them an interesting case for comparative analysis. Despite their proximity, it cannot be assumed that inflationary trends will develop similarly across these nations. This underexplored region presents an opportunity to examine how diverse macroeco-nomic factors shape inflation, adding valuable insights to the existing literature. In this study, we do not focus on comparing overall inflation trends between countries, but rather on examining the trends in the changes within the inflation baskets. The aim is to analyze how the composition of goods and services contributing to inflation shifts over time in each country, rather than simply looking at inflation rates. This approach allows us to explore deeper insights into the specific components driving inflationary pressures in the Visegrad countries, highlighting how the importance of certain goods and services evolves within the inflation basket across different economic environments. The weights of the consumer baskets measuring inflation are taken from the Inter-national Monetary Fund 2012–2022 data. We used the Kruskal-Wallis test to determine whether there are statistically significant differences between countries’ consumer basket weights. Our results suggest that the inflation baskets of the four countries do not move significantly together, so there are significant differences in consumption patterns across nations regardless of geographical proximity. Also, contrary to our preliminary expectations, global megatrends such as demographic change, digitalisation and climate change have not yet had a significant impact on the weightings in the consumption baskets of the V4 countries. Therefore, these will require increased attention and preparation in the near future, as even if prices remain unchanged, measured inflation could change significantly across countries as weights shift.

Published: January 2025

La esquizofrenia es parte de los trastornos mentales graves que afectan a 1 de cada 300 personas a nivel mundial. Afecta significativamente a los estados cognitivos, lo que a su vez incide en la capacidad para realizar actividades de la vida diaria. Los pisos protegidos surgen como espacios supervisados que promueven el equilibrio entre apoyo y autogestión para estas personas. Este estudio explora cómo el estado cognitivo influye en la autonomía de las actividades cotidianas y evalúa el impacto de los pisos protegidos sobre la autonomía en la realización de actividades de la vida diaria. Se trabajó con 57 usuarios del centro ALUME Saúde Mental en Lugo, con un promedio de edad de 51,23 años y un 28% residenciados en pisos protegidos. Se encontró una correlación moderada estadísticamente significativa entre las puntuaciones del estado cognitivo y las actividades de la vida diaria, es decir, a mayor capacidad cognitiva, mejor desempeño en actividades de la vida diaria y viceversa. No se observaron diferencias significativas en el estado cognitivo entre los residentes de pisos protegidos y otros entornos. Sin embargo, una prueba de comparación de medias mostró diferencias significativas en la autonomía de actividades de la vida diaria, siendo mejores en aquellos que viven en pisos protegidos.
Does Split Rating Affect Corporate Bond Yields? Evidence from North America and Europe
Authors: Kolegova Irina , Paientko Tetiana
Published: January 2025

The paper aims to determine the effect of split ratings on corporate bond yields. A Two-Sample t-Test was conducted for each risk category of bonds to assess the impact of split ratings. Using a sample of corporate bonds issued between January 2000 and May 2023, the study finds evidence that split-rated bonds exhibit higher yields. This suggests that investors demand greater compensation for the risk associated with split ratings, which stems from the informational opaqueness and uncertainty surrounding these instruments. The research also reveals that the magnitude of the difference between split ratings affects bond yields, with larger gaps leading to higher yields. The findings have significant implications for investors and issuers, emphasising the need to carefully evaluate split-rated bonds and consistent credit ratings. By enhancing our understanding of the relationship between split ratings and bond yields, this research promotes transparency and informed decision-making in the corporate bond market.
Residents’ Perceptions about Tourism Development: A Comparative Analysis of Selected Locations in the North of Portugal
Authors: Silva Goretti , Oliveira Mariana
Published: January 2025

Residents’ perceptions of tourism’s impacts (either negative or positive) are of utmost importance as, ultimately, they will influence their support for the industry. This paper aims to present the results of a study focusing on tourism development and its impacts based on residents’ perceptions and how tourism affects their lives and places of living, applied to specified areas within the northern region of Portugal. A comparative analysis of the historic centre of Porto, the historical centre of Guimarães, and two parishes of the Peneda-Gerês National Park is presented. Tourism is a relevant economic activity with significant volume despite the perceived range of intensity levels and related impacts. Notwithstanding the acknowledged benefits, these areas are associated, to some extent, with tourism pressures, potentially generated among the historic centre of Porto, the historical centre of Guimarães, and two parishes of the Peneda-Gerês National Park. These regions presented negative impacts that provoke antagonistic feelings from residents. Thus, a questionnaire-based survey was conducted among people living in these areas. The results reveal that residents generally recognise the benefits of tourism, despite some concerns about its negative impacts on the local culture and infrastructure, particularly the overcrowding effect in smaller historic town centres and natural areas.

Authors: Pérez Daniel Milian , Rodríguez Abel Gámez , Proenza Yaicel Ge , Antonino Antonio Celso Dantas , Lorenzo Daniel Evelio Milian , Lira Carlos Alberto Brayner de Oliveira
Published: January 2025

Objective: This study aims to analyze the thermal-hydraulic behavior and radiolytic gas bubble dynamics in uranyl sulfate solutions within Aqueous Homogeneous Reactors (AHR), emphasizing their potential for sustainable medical isotope production.
 
Theoretical Framework: The research builds upon nuclear reactor theories, particularly those concerning radiolytic gas dynamics and thermal-hydraulic interactions. It highlights the advantages of AHR as a technology aligned with global sustainability goals by enhancing efficiency and reducing waste.
 
Method: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were conducted using the ANSYS-CFX software on a conceptual AHR design derived from the ARGUS reactor. Key parameters such as fuel solution temperature, velocity, and gas volume fraction were analyzed under varying conditions of radiolytic gas generation.
 
Results and Discussion: The simulations revealed significant impacts of radiolytic gas bubble formation on reactor performance. A reduction in bubble generation from 100% to 10% increased the average fuel solution temperature by 3.96°C and decreased its velocity by 50%. Bubble velocity and volumetric gas fraction reductions of 68% and 46%, respectively, resulted in lower turbulence intensity, affecting thermal-hydraulic behavior.
 
Research Implications: These findings demonstrate the dual role of radiolytic bubbles as both a challenge and an opportunity to optimize reactor safety, efficiency, and sustainability, contributing to advancements in green nuclear technology for medical applications.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by integrating sustainability considerations into AHR analysis, offering innovative insights into managing radiolytic gas effects to enhance reactor design and operation.
Theoretical Aspects About Cooperativism and Associativism in Aquaculture
Authors: Schwanke Jéssica , Martins Isabela Eva de Souza , Werneck Pedro Rondon , Feiden Aldi
Published: January 2025

Objective: The work aims to analyze the contributions of cooperatives and associations in aquaculture.
 
Theoretical Framework: Cooperativism for society is a way of helping to maintain productive activities, in view of this, we can mention agricultural cooperatives, present in some regions of the country, these cooperatives emerged due to the need of family farmers seeking to consolidate their activity (Andrade and Alves, 2013).
 
Method: A systematic review was carried out in which publications on cooperativism and aquaculture available in the Web of Science databases were analyzed, in addition to the CAPES Catalog of theses and dissertations to identify the discussion of terms within Stricto Sensu programs. 12 articles were selected, with free access in English languages, which addressed the key words of this research in their work and 1 thesis and 1 dissertation related to the topic.
 
Results and Discussion: Nine dimensions were identified that contribute to cooperativism and associations in aquaculture, namely: Information Management; Strengthening the Production Chain; Improve decision making; Support and Encouragement; Increased profits and production; Increased Efficiency of the Production Chain; Participatory Management; Vertical and Horizontal Integration; Sustainability. The results indicate that cooperatives facilitate access to technologies, credit and markets, promoting innovative and sustainable practices that increase the competitiveness of small producers. However, the study also highlights that some modern cooperatives may move away from the principles of solidarity and equity, focusing more on the market.
 
Research Implications: Identify studies that address cooperativism and associations and how they contribute to the development of aquaculture.
 
Originality/Value: This work contributes to theoretical deepening and provides a basis for discussions on aspects of cooperativism and associations in aquaculture.

Published: January 2025

The epidemiological transition has occurred significantly over the last two decades, with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) becoming the main burden. In context of health communication, health campaign activities are expected to reduce these problems. The objective of the research is to analyze health communication channels and the relationship between health communication channels and health behavior. Data were collected by applying a survey method using a self-administered questionnaire. The survey was conducted in Depok City, West Java, Indonesia. Respondents were residents of aged fifteen years and over, who had been exposed to health promotion campaigns or activities from the various communication channels used. Total sample size was 120 respondents. Univariate analysis was applied to get frequency distribution tables, while bivariate analysis was applied using Pearson correlation analysis. The research results indicate that majority of the residents are still in moderate category with regard to implementing health behaviors. There are still many people, who implement unhealthy behaviors, particularly with regard to regular health checks. Secondly, the frequency of use of health promotion communication channels remains low. New media channels, interpersonal media and community media are three channels that are perceived as trustworthy, attractive and credible. Thirdly, this study found that the frequency of using communication channels, channel trustworthiness, attractiveness and credibility have a significant relationship with health behavior. The findings of this study have implications for health campaign program designers, who should consider including campaign messages that can lead to improve public health behavior and prevent the occurrence of NCDs.

Authors: Wempi J.A , Hidayat Muhamad , Akbar Ananto
Published: January 2025

Cianjur, West Java, is one of the areas with a  high level of disaster threats according to the Indonesia Disaster Risk Index report in 2022. One of the disaster threats is the 100-kilometer long Cimandiri Fault in West Java which is the oldest fault, not to mention the danger of landslides. .  Gunung Padang  is a disaster-prone area,  making  Gunung Padang at risk of being affected by tectonic earthquakes because it is situated between earthquake generating lines divided into fault segments that cross 17 districts in Sukabumi, Cianjur and Bandung. Religious and cultural aspects often play an important role in disaster mitigation, especially in communities with strong religious and cultural values. This research aims to analyze spiritual-based disaster communication in the Gunung Padang area, West Java. This research used descriptive qualitative methods and collected data through semi-structured interviews. The data used for this research is primary data to be obtained directly from the first source or original source,  including community leaders and local government by using observation and interview techniques. Meanwhile, the secondary data is obtained  from other supporting documents. The results of this study show that the people of the Gunung Padang area traditionally uphold and maintain the wisdom and spiritual aspects of Lok which have an important role in conveying disaster mitigation messages. This study also highlights the importance of local beliefs, which shape the community's disaster awareness and influence their thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors. The religious aspect of local wisdom encourages harmony with nature and prevents its exploitation. Spiritual communication plays a significant role in the lives of the Gunung Padang community and is an essential aspect of disaster awareness, which is based on the integration of knowledge, skills, and local wisdom.
Diffusion of Innovation in Hospitals: Exploring the Benefits and Challenges of Using Instagram
Authors: Herna Herna , Ramadani Putri Risa
Published: January 2025

Instagram is a potential platform for disseminating information to the public, mainly health-related information. The Tanah Abang Regional General Hospital (RSUD Tanah Abang) has adopted Instagram as a medium for providing health information and services. This study aims to analyze the utilization of Instagram by RSUD Tanah Abang as an information platform for the public. The research used a qualitative approach with a constructivist paradigm, employing the Diffusion of Innovation theory as an analytical tool. Data was collected through observations of the @rsudtanahabang account and in-depth interviews with the public relations team and its followers. The findings show that RSUD Tanah Abang adopted Instagram due to its relative advantages over conventional media, such as fast information dissemination, two-way interaction capabilities, and ease of developing engaging content. The @rsudtanahabang account successfully increased public engagement in conveying health information. Interactive features like Instagram Feed, Stories, Reels, and Instagram Live strengthen the two-way interaction between the hospital and the public. Content on @rsudtanahabang is dynamically and regularly managed, following social media trends to ensure the information remains relevant and engaging. Instagram has proven to be a compatible tool for disseminating service-related information, such as doctor schedules, strategic health issues, treatment procedures, and health education. However, several challenges were identified and deemed necessary by the hospital, including (1) maintaining the consistency of information shared through Instagram. The hospital must ensure that the content published is always accurate, relevant, and adheres to medical protocols, and (2) managing negative comments responsively and professionally to preserve the hospital’s reputation.

Since the stipulation of the 30% quota for women to the Indonesian House of Representatives, the number of female legislators in the Indonesian House of Representatives has increased significantly. However, this condition is not comparable to the birth of policies or legislative products that mainstream gender. This study aims to determine female legislators' perspectives, roles, and obstacles in communicating the Draft of the Maternal and Child Welfare Bill as a mainstream gender policy, using three key concepts of standpoint theory. This study uses a constructivist paradigm with a qualitative approach and case study method. The study's results found several things in the three key concepts of standpoint theory. Female legislators as political communicators have a broad perspective (standpoint) and situated knowledge in communicating mainstream gender policies. However, the gender perspectives of these female legislators have not been optimally communicated, so the provisions for extending maternity leave for working mothers for 6months and 40 days of leave for fathers, which are underlined in this bill, ultimately failed to be agreed upon.

Published: January 2025

Public speaking merupakan kemampuan berbicara di depan umum yang diperlukan agar inidvidu memiliki keberanian mengungkapkan pendapat, ide dan gagasan kepada sejumlah orang. Kecakapan public speaking tidak serta merta dimiliki oleh inidvidu sejak lahir, melainkan sebuah kemampuan yang dapat dilatih dan dikembangkan. Oleh karena itu, kemampuan public speaking merupakan kegiatan yang dapat dikembangkan untuk meningkatkan pengembangan kapasitas diri (capacity building) bagi individu dalam organisasi. Peningkatan capacity building yang dilakukan oleh tim Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) yaitu pengembangan kemampuan anggota karang taruna Pemudja Jongkangan dalam menguasai ilmu public speaking dan mengembangkan rasa percaya diri bagi tiap anggota dilakukan berdasarkan pemetaan kebutuhan bagi karang taruna Pemudja Jongkangan yaitu; pertama, agenda berupa pelatihan public speaking bukan program kerja utama sehingga jarang dilakukan. Kedua, persoalan anggota yang tidak semua aktif di dalam forum diskusi dan memberikan pendapat. Ketiga, kurangnya regenerasi speaker dalam berbagai kegiatan seperti pemandu acara. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut maka tim melakukan kegiatan berupa peningkatan capacity building pada karang taruna yang menyasar anggota karang taruna yang masuk kategori usia remaja. Hal ini juga bertujuan sebagai upaya untuk melakukan pemberdayaan masyarakat agar tercipta masyarakat yang berdaya dengan memiliki kecakapan dan keberanian berbicara di depan umum. Tidak hanya melatih keberanian, pada praktiknya, pelatihan ini juga memberikan pemahaman tentang ragam dari kegiatan public speaking, mulai dari seorang MC, Pembicara, Pewawancara, moderator dan lain-lain. Selain itu, tim pelaksana juga memberikan pemahaman tentang virtual public speaking yang sangat dibutuhkan di era virtual ini.

Authors: FADLIANSACH FARHAN , Nugrahanti Asri , Husla Ridha
Published: January 2025

Latar Belakang: Lapangan F merupakan lapangan yang berada pada resistivitas rendah karena terdapat adanya zona hidrokarbon yang khusus dan tersembunyi sehingga terkadang diabaikan dan salah dalam menilai sebagai lapisan air dengan adanya keterbatasan log resistivitas dan identifikasi hidrokarbon. Tujuan: Penelitian dilakukan agar dapat mengevaluasi formasi yang terindikasi resistivitas rendah. Metodologi: Penelitian ini menggunakan analisa log secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif dengan harga resistivitas rendah berdasarkan pengukuran deep resistivity. Hasil: Penyebab terdapatnya zona resistivitas rendah karena adanya kandungan mineral clay seperti pyrite dan calcite 27% yang berada pada batukapur (Limestone). Hal itu dapat dikatakan bahwa jenis clay yang menyebabkan zona reservoir memiliki nilai resistivitas rendah.  Zona reservoir ini terdapat pada kedalaman 4761ft – 4800 ft. nilai resistivitas rendah pada zona ini sekitar 1.52 – 128  Wm, nilai porositas sebesar 0.126, dan saturasi air sebesar 0.252. Kesimpulan: Pada hasil porositas dan saturasi tersebut dapat dikatakan bahwa resistivitas rendah perlu dilakukan evaluasi karena adanya zona yang berada di antara hidrokarbon dan zona reservoir air.

Published: January 2025

Progressive symmetrical erythrokeratoderma (PSEK) is the rarer type of erythrokeratoderma and is inherited as an autosomal dominant condition. The other more common form is erythrokeratoderma variabilis (EKV). Although these conditions vary clinically, their similarity in histopathology and likelihood of similar genetic origins have made the conditions be considered one entity called EKV et progressiva. We report a case of PSEK treated with isotretinoin and oral vitamin A capsules in the isotretinoin “drug holiday” period.

A prospective observational cohort study was conducted in patients with stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS], 1–10; atherosclerotic-origin) who did not undergo thrombolysis or thrombectomy and in patients with high-risk TIA (ABCD2, ≥4). Two treatment regimes studied included; dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) (1–21 days) followed by single-antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) (22–90 days) with high-intensity statin (HIS) for 90 days (Group-A) versus SAPT for 90 days with HIS for 60 days (Group-B). Patients were followed up for efficacy endpoints including prevention of early neurological deterioration (END), new stroke/TIA, and neurofunctional recovery at three months. The safety endpoints included a composite of cardiovascular events, bleeding events, and muscle-toxic effects. A multivariate logistic regression and Cox-proportional hazards model were used to evaluate endpoints.

Results:

Of 160 patients, 82 completed Group-A therapy, and 78 completed Group-B therapy. The NIHSS for qualifying stroke was median (Interquartile range) 5 (2–8). END occurred in 2.4% (Group-A) versus 7.7% (Group-B) patients (hazards ratio [HR], 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.42–0.91; P = 0.08). A new stroke/TIA occurred in 4.8% (Group-A) versus 11.5% (Group-B) patients (HR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.61–0.93; P = 0.06). A change in the severity of stroke or high-risk TIA combined with a modified Rankin scale toward favorable outcomes was observed in Group A (odds ratio, 3.12; 95% CI, 1.71–5.52; P = 0.001). Though the risk was minimal in both cohorts, bleeding events and muscle-toxic effects were 4.7 and 4.6% points higher in Group-A patients.

Conclusion:

Compared to Group-B therapy, Group-A therapy was found to be more effective in preventing END and new stroke/TIA, and in improving neurofunctional recovery at three months, albeit at the expense of minimal safety hazards. Multicentric and randomized controlled trials are required for generalization of the study findings.
The Learner’s Role as an Acting Person and Emerging Technologies
Authors: Ludji Irene
Published: January 2025

The approach to empower learners as the subject in the use of AI is in line with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)’s AI and Education Guidance for Policy-Makers and is pursued in recognition of the three paradigmatic shifts in the use of AI in educational setting. To strengthen the role of learners as leaders in the use of AI, this article uses the idea of the acting person from Karol Wojtyla. The concept of the acting person focuses on moral responsibility founded in human consciousness and conducted through human actions. The moral act of an acting person leads to responsible use that requires the commitment to the common good. In the first part, I will describe the history and development of AI technologies. In the second part, I will discuss the idea of the acting person and the AI as an acting machine. In the last part, I will present an analysis of the importance of grounding educational policy on the use of AI in learners’ ethical role as the acting person.
Concerning the normalization of additive dose optically stimulated luminescence data obtained from infrared stimulation of feldspar
Authors: Galloway R. B. , Hong D. G.
Published: January 2025

Since'natural normalization'is not possible for low dose samples, several second dose'normalization procedures are compared. The use of light and of heat for bleaching before the second dose is considered. Attention is paid to any indication of second dose sensitivity being dependent on the magnitude of the first dose.
Red thermoluminescence (RTL) in volcanic quartz: development of a high sensitivity detection system and some preliminary findings
Authors: Fattahi M. , Stokes S.
Published: January 2025

As part of a general study exploring the suitability of the RTK of quartz for dating volcanic events, a modified Riso Reader appartus has been assembled and tested. Modification consisted of an alternative, cooled photomultiplier, and the incroporation of signal pass filters which have not previously been employed in RTL investigations. The use of an extended S20 9650 PMT provides a greater quantum efficiency in the wave range 600-800 µm than the traditionally used 9635 bialkaline tube. A substantially disadvantage of using such an extended tube relates to the relatively high thermal backgroung generated with the photocathodes. To overcome this limitation we have tested the PMT response via cooling down by c. -17°C. This reduced the background to an order of magnitude (-200cis). A cooled (-17°C) extended S20 Photomultiplier (PMT) demonstrated a signal increasing and background decreasing due to the PMT cooling up to 400°C. A range of filter combinations was examined by both empirical experiments of RTL on quartz extracted from a late Holocene, New Zealand dune sand sample (OXOD84713) and a uv-vis spectrophotometer. Of the filter combinations examined, a Hoya 2-63 and Schott BG-39 provided the best IR suppression and therefore signal to noise ratio. However, as the BG-39 limits a substantial component of the 600-620 µm RTL peak emission, it may be inadequate for relatively young or insensitive samples. In such cases a new IR suppression filter (Corion FR-400S) is recommended.
Imaging and measurement of red-infrared stimulated luminescence (R-IRSL) from feldspar samples

Published: January 2025

When the infrared light was illuminated on granites and feldspar slices irradiated with X-rays, luminescence color images (abbreviated to IRSLCI) showed three color patterns, separable into intense yellow, red and faint violet portions. The yellow and faint violet parts were assignable to plagioclase and potassium feldspars and quartz constituent, respectively. The red color parts appeared on both potassium and albite feldspars. From spectrometry of the IRSL, two main emission peaks in the middle wavelength region, consisting of 550 nm (yellow) and 580 nm (orange), were revealed besides intense emission both in wavelengths shorter than 450 nm (violet region) and in wavelengths longer than 600 nm (red region) on every feldspar sample. The red IRSL (R-IRSL) of as-received feldspars was significantly enhanced after annealing treatment in oxidative conditions, rather than in reductive annealing conditions for 3hrs at 900oC. The dose response of R-IRSL offered slower saturation of microcline in comparison with rapid saturation tendency of albite. The results are suggestive of a preferable application of R-IRSL to dating of burnt archaeological materials.

Blind test results for the most important materials used in luminescence dating are reported as a measure of the quality of performance of the new luminescence dating laboratory at the Instituto Tecnológico e Nuclear, Sacavém, Portugal. At the same time they serve as a measure of the quality of the source calibrations, which are outlined as well, and an estimation of the required charge particle equilibrium (CPE) distance for gamma irradiation of the calibration material is presented. Several different quartz and measurement techniques are employed for the calibration of alpha and beta sources.
Residual luminescence signals of recent river flood sediments: A comparison between quartz and feldspar of fine- and coarse-grain sediments
Authors: Fuchs M. , Straub J. , Zöller L.
Published: January 2025

Sediments of the 2002 millenial flood in Saxony were investigated in respect to their residual luminescence signals. A comparison of residual palaeodoses in fine- and coarse-grain quartz and feldspar extracted from sediments was made. The fine-grain quartz was extracted by treating the sediment with H2SiF6 that selectively dissolved fractions other than quartz. Tests using H2SiF6 and HF for an optimum extraction of fine grain quartz were also carried out. A clear difference between quartz and feldspar based palaeodoses could be observed. Distinctly lower De values for quartz indicated better bleaching. Residual De values ranged from 0.5 Gy to 16 Gy for fine-grain quartz and coarse-grain K-feldspars, respectively.

Published: January 2025

Some key tests necessary in the setting up of a luminescence pulsing system are presented. The procedures discussed are concerned with measurement of reliable luminescence-photon counting rates whose analyses provide information about lifetimes and intensity of luminescence measured using pulsed optical stimulation. The paper presents data from a measurement system which used a time-to-amplitude converter for timing.
