The Existence of Integrated Service Units in Improving Management and Public Services Quality at Universities in Indonesia
Authors: Fitria Yusie , Rudy Handoko V. , Novaria Rachmawati
Published: October 2023

The study aims to analyze and gather information about the implementation of an Integrated Service Unit (ULT) to improve quality management and service quality at universities in Indonesia. The context for this research is the highly competitive and tight competition for quality management and public service quality among universities in the last decade. In response to the low quality of higher education administration services in Indonesia, the concept of service bureaucratic reform led to the establishment of Integrated Service Units. The research type is library research or literature review, where the researchers rely on existing literature to gather data. The research follows a descriptive qualitative approach with observation tools to analyze the existence of Integrated Service Units that have a high presence in the world of university administration services and have received awards or appreciation from the government. The results of the research indicate that the services implemented by the Integrated Service Units have quality management and service quality that adhere to established standards and principles of public service. The infrastructure of the service system is built using an electronic-based service system (SPBE). The activities are carried out in an integrated manner and are closely connected with other work units to provide cross-unit services in the university or faculty. The service process is completely digitized, using applications developed by each tertiary institution.

Authors: Arifin Paliwang Zainal , Jompa Jamaluddin , Ibrahim Akmal , Haning Tahir
Published: October 2023

Innovation policy plays a crucial role in national development, productivity enhancement, and well-being. However, the social and economic conditions of individuals residing in coastal regions bordering other areas are generally far inferior to those of their neighbors. This study aimed to evaluate the government’s introduced policy innovations to improve the socioeconomic circumstances of these coastal border communities. The methodological approach used in this study was both qualitative and explanatory. The research location was in North Kalimantan Province, precisely in the coastal area on the border of the Nunukan Regency. The findings indicate that the implementation of innovative policies for socio-economic development is not yet optimal, especially when viewed through the lens of the internal instruments required to realize policy innovation. For the effective development of the social economy in these areas, policies must be participatory and adaptive in design, capable of creating a comprehensive policy strategy to boost the well-being of society.

Collaborative Strategy in Corruption Prevention and Enforcement in Indonesia
Authors: Rajasa Asdiansyah A. , Akmal Ibrahim Muhammad , Ahmad Badu
Published: October 2023

Corruption, as an extraordinary crime, cannot be eradicated by a single party alone. Presidential Regulation No. 54 of 2018 concerning the National Strategy for Prevention of Corruption (Stranas-PK), is an integrated effort by the government to combat corruption in Indonesia. This study is descriptive, using literature to determine how the implementation of Stranas-PK is viewed from the perspective of collaborative governance, using the theory proposed by Emerson & Nabatchi (2015). The results of the analysis show that the implementation of the National Strategy-PK has begun to demonstrate the existence of collaborative governance in some action implementations. However, based on the National Secretariat-PK report and findings from several studies, several obstacles that need to be addressed have been identified. These include: (1) The adjustment of the legal framework, (2) The fulfillment of quality and capacity of resources, (3) The establishment of a model for civil society participation, (4) Increased involvement of non-government actors, (5) Enhanced engagement of K/L/PD (ministries, institutions, and regional governments), and (6) The measurement of the impact of implementation.

Village Funding Program Implementation in Wajo District
Authors: . Ruslimin , Thahir Haning Mohamad , Achmad Badu , Susanti Gita
Published: October 2023

The village holds a significant role in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, but its implementation often faces obstacles. One of the main challenges is the formulation of policies, which may involve assumptions, generalizations, and simplifications that do not align with the practical realities during implementation. Consequently, there is a gap between what is formulated and what is effectively implemented. This study employs a literature review with a qualitative approach, specifically a systemic review. The metaaggressive approach is utilized to synthesize results from various research sources to provide solutions to the research questions. Based on the study’s findings, it is concluded that village fund management in Wajo District has not been effective. In this context, it is recommended to employ Grindle’s theory as an analytical tool to address the issues encountered in managing village funds. Grindle’s theory comprehensively explains that two variables influence the success of policy implementation: policy content and implementation content.

Las redes sociales y la importancia de la mediación política en el comercio en vía pública
Authors: Silva Londoño Diana Alejandra
Published: October 2023

El presente artículo muestra la pertinencia del estudio de las redes sociales en el comercio en vía pública, en especial de las establecidas con el sistema–político institucional, pues ellas posibilitan el uso de espacios que, en principio, son de carácter público. A través del análisis cualitativo, se revelan algunas de las principales características de este tipo de redes, lo mismo que su papel central en la mediación política. Este último, lejos de ser privativo del comercio en vía pública, es un rasgo principal de la cultura política mexicana.
Articulación público–privada y desarrollo local de los espacios rurales
Authors: Craviotti Clara
Published: October 2023

El presente artículo estudia el rol de la articulación entre actores públicos y privados en la definición de los perfiles productivos de los espacios rurales. Para ello, revisa aspectos del debate teórico sobre desarrollo local y analiza sus implicaciones en función de las transformaciones que experimentan por dichos espacios. A partir de estudios de caso de dos ámbitos de la región pampeana argentina que muestran cambios relevantes desde el punto de vista socio–productivo, se examinan algunas de las cuestiones relativas a la construcción de una "visión compartida" del desarrollo y de la búsqueda de complementariedad entre actividades nuevas y preexistentes.

Authors: Monsiváis Carrillo Alejandro
Published: October 2023

El propósito de este trabajo es analizar un componente de los sistemas de gobernanza electoral en las entidades federativas mexicanas; esto es, las normas que regulan la conducción de elecciones libres y limpias. El análisis se realiza con base en el indicador de equidad electoral formal que evalúa la legislación electoral local del periodo 1996–2007. Mediante el empleo de un modelo de regresión para datos en forma de panel se encontró evidencia de que los procesos políticos locales importan para explicar las diferencias en las condiciones de equidad electoral formal. A partir del análisis de los resultados, el artículo concluye apuntando varias líneas de investigación que quedan abiertas para conocer mejor el desarrollo y el funcionamiento de la gobernanza electoral en el ámbito subnacional.
La conflictiva relación entre participación institucionalizada y confianza: el caso de Buenos Aires
Authors: Lanau Matías
Published: October 2023

A partir de datos obtenidos en una investigación sobre la ciudad de Buenos Aires, en el presente artículo se reflexiona sobre la relación establecida entre participación institucionalizada y confianza. En primer lugar, la confianza se define como una expectativa frente al mundo que puede ser decepcionada. A partir de esta definición, el vínculo entre participación y confianza se analiza en las relaciones establecidas entre las autoridades públicas y los ciudadanos en las democracias liberales. Luego se examina cómo, en la actualidad, la participación institucionalizada se considera una herramienta necesaria para resolver el problema de la desconfianza que los ciudadanos demuestran respecto de las instituciones y las autoridades públicas. Por último, se revisa cómo el desarrollo de esta participación institucionalizada no conduce a una reducción de la desconfianza, sino a una transformación de la relación autoridad pública–ciudadano, caracterizada por el "gobierno de la desconfianza".
De la era de la revolución al imperio de la identidad: interpretando la modernidad en América Latina
Authors: Gallucci Lisandro
Published: October 2023

La cuestión de la modernidad ha ocupado un lugar central en la historia de América Latina y, en razón de ello, ha sido objeto de numerosas reflexiones procedentes de las más diversas disciplinas y perspectivas teóricas. Sin embargo, la mayoría de tales reflexiones se ha mantenido en la definición canónica de la modernidad, según la cual ésta se entiende como un proceso más o menos lineal y acumulativo de racionalización. Esta visión ha tenido importantes implicancias en las sociedades latinoamericanas. Por esto, una revisión crítica de la idea misma de modernidad y, en particular, de los modos en que ha sido pensada desde América Latina, reportaría nuevas claves de interpretación de la trayectoria histórica de nuestras sociedades.
Plebiscitos, referendos e iniciativas populares en América Latina: ¿mecanismos de control político o políticamente controlados?
Authors: Altman David
Published: October 2023

En este artículo se estudian y ordenan las diferentes formas con que la ciudadanía decide directamente en las urnas sobre temas de su incumbencia. La apelación directa a la ciudadanía parece cada día más de moda en la región, cuestión que muchos autores ven como la utilización de recursos institucionales por parte de las autoridades para avanzar en una determinada agenda política. Sin embargo, la democracia directa es más heterogénea de lo que estos autores conceden. Los mismos resultados de las votaciones populares son, en términos generales, más ajustados de lo que se presupondría. La evidencia muestra que cuando los movimientos de democracia directa son utilizados por los ejecutivos, en América Latina, la tasa de aprobación no supera el 55%, incluso menor a la tasa de aprobación de cuando los inicia la ciudadanía (56%). Esto no significa que, en algunas oportunidades, las autoridades no los usen como ejercicios de movilización popular o que sean una búsqueda de legitimización popular de los deseos de las elites políticas en turno.AbstractThis study examines the different ways in which citizens decide directly at the polls on topics of their concern. The direct appeal to the citizenry seems to be increasingly popular in the region and many authors do not see in it more than the use of institutional resources by the authorities to advance a particular political agenda. However, direct democracy is a much more heterogeneous phenomenon than these authors usually grant. In fact, the results of popular votes are generally much tighter than one might assume. Surprisingly, the evidence shows that when used by government agents in Latin America, the rate acceptance does not exceed 55%, even lower than the rate of approval when they are initiated by citizens (56%). This does not mean that, on occasions, authorities use them as exercises of popular mobilization or as tools seeking popular legitimization of the desires of political elites.
Detección de fraude con modelos basados en agentes: las elecciones mexicanas de 2006
Authors: Castañeda Gonzalo , Ibarra Ignacio
Published: October 2023

En este artículo se desarrolla una técnica novedosa para la detección de fraudes electorales a partir del análisis estadístico de los resultados. Con este fin se describe un modelo computacional basado en agentes en el que la dinámica de una campaña electoral condiciona las preferencias partidistas de los individuos. El modelo se construye suponiendo que en un proceso limpio los resultados oficiales dependen, esencialmente, de preferencias partidistas que han sido sujetas a la interacción social y a la influencia de información global. En contraste, para simular la existencia de un fraude se manipula la voluntad de un conjunto de ciudadanos el día de las elecciones. El modelo se calibra con datos preelectorales de la contienda del año 2006 para la presidencia de México, y la presencia del fraude o su ausencia se valida mediante la prueba no–paramétrica de Kolmogorov–Smirnov. Con la información utilizada, el modelo de simulación descarta la presencia de un fraude de gran magnitud en el que no menos del 5–6% del total de votos emitidos son manipulados.AbstractIn this paper an innovative tool is applied for the detection of electoral fraud by analyzing statistical distributions of the official results. With this aim a computational model is developed to describe the dynamics of an electoral campaign that conditions the individuals' political preferences. The agent–based model is built assuming that in a clean process the electoral outcome depends, essentially, on preferences subjected to the influence of social interaction and global information. In contrast, in order to simulate an electoral fraud the model is modified such that the voting behavior of the citizens is manipulated on election–day. The model is calibrated with data form the 2006 Mexican electoral campaign for the presidency, and the presence or absence of fraud is validated using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, a non–parametric procedure. With information aggregated at the electoral district level, the simulation model rejects the existence of a large scale fraud where at least 5–6% of the total vote tally is manipulated in favor of a particular candidate.
The Influence of Distancing Bulges in a Small-Width Parallel-Plate Duct on its Thermal-Hydraulic Characteristics at the Laminar Flow
Authors: Kostyukov A.V. , Kosach L.A. , Merzlikin V.G.
Published: October 2023

The paper presents analytical study of the distancing bulges effect on the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of a band slotted heat-transfer matrix of the rotary heat exchanger. The work was carried out based on mathematical simulation of the thermal-hydraulic processes in the band parallel-plate duct of low height (0.4 mm) at the laminar flow regime characteristic for the rotary heat exchangers. Influence of the distancing elements number in the rows, distance between the rows, as well as the total number of elements in the channel on the average value of the Nusselt number and on the magnitude of the pressure drop was analyzed. Influence of alterations in speed and temperature regimes on the thermal-hydraulic characteristics was analyzed. It was found that installation of the distancing bulges in a band parallel-plate duct led to a decrease in the Nusselt number and the increase in hydraulic resistance of the parallel-plate duct compared to a flat slotted duct without bulges despite the laminar flow regime. It was noted that influence of the distancing elements mutual arrangement on the bands was insignificant for the flow thermal-hydraulic characteristics. It was established that an increase in the temperature of the parallel-plate duct walls also was not leading to significant alteration in the heat transfer nature inside the channels under study; and alteration in the laminar flow speed regime also practically did not affect the heat transfer intensity in the ducts under consideration
Umykanie. Pomyślenia z etnografii życia
Authors: Burszta Wojciech Józef , Kafar Marcin
Published: October 2023

Praca jest dwuautorskim przedsięwzięciem zorientowanym wokół konceptu „etnografii życia”, zaproponowanego przez Wojciecha J. Bursztę, następnie podjętego i rozwiniętego przez Marcina Kafara. Etnografia życia jest hermeneutycznym narzędziem służącym do pracy nad własną pamięcią (ujmowana jest ona za pomocą metafory „katastru”), która w procesie myślenia i pisania o niej, pozwala autorowi/autorom docierać do zdarzeń doświadczonych niegdyś, dziś natomiast ponawianych w nieustającym procesie poszukiwania znaczeń. Jego zasadniczym celem jest próba nadawania sensu własnemu życiu jako narracyjnej jedności (Paul Ricoeur), w prezentowanym dziele rozpiętej między dwoma nawzajem dopełniającymi się biegunami: życia prywatnego i życia zawodowego/naukowego (związanego z aktywnością podejmowaną w świecie Akademii). Wyróżnikiem publikacji jest „otwarta forma” (Umberto Eco), wymuszona specyficznymi okolicznościami jej powstawania. Podczas gdy zasadnicza część pisana była przez Wojciecha J. Bursztę, reszta tekstu przygotowana została po jego śmierci w 2021. Formuła „otwartości” nasycona została wówczas dopowiedzeniami o charakterze „gatunków zmąconych” (Clifford Geertz), przyjmujących postać auto/biograficznie zorientowanych objaśnień ukazujących wielorakie aspekty „życia i twórczości” Wojciecha J. Burszty. Obejmują one m.in. (i) ścieżkę wytrącania się konceptu „etnografii życia”, uwzględniającą jego antropologiczny i edukacyjny charakter, (ii) zaplecze formatywne dochodzenia do kluczowych zagadnień wariantu humanistyki polskiej przełomu wieków XX i XXI, ukazane za pomocą dialogowo skonstruowanych ustępów, a także (iii) wysoce osobiste, uwarunkowane kulturowo i społecznie, podłoże rozumienia siebie-człowieka jako stającego w obliczu nieuchronności własnej skończoności.

Authors: Bouhadi D. , Belkhodja H. , Benattouche Z.
Published: October 2023

Background: Given the eating habits prevailing in our society, the bread is considered one of the most important commodity of the Arab family, who can you be indispensable because of its particular position on the table and where it is the most important energy source and cheaper than other sources, it is understood that the quality of bread depends primarily on the quality of the flour used and from one year to another are obtained in poor flour, less tenacious, with tolerances of gaps in fermentation and often less elasticity. It is in this light that is this work which aims to assess the ability of flour produced from bean flour (Vcia faba. L) as improving in food formulations, the rheological and organoleptic properties including bread. Methods: The chemical composition of the breadmaking flours incorporated in the broad bean flour as well as the technological and functional properties (wet and dry gluten (WG and DG), hydration capacity (HC), Zeleny index, Alveographic measurements W, G, P, L and the P/L ratio) and even the sensory analyzes were determined. Result: Addition of bean flour particularly flours with 2 and 3% of beans has an improving effect in a bread formulation. It promotes fermentation and the crust color when cooked.
Randomized Controlled Assays and Randomized Controlled Trials: A Category Error With Consequences
Authors: Healy David
Published: October 2023

In 1962, in the wake of the thalidomide crisis, a new Amendment to the Food and Drugs Act introduced Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) into the regulations governing the licensing of medicines. It was believed that requiring companies to demonstrate their products were effective through RCTs would contribute to safety. In 1962, RCTs were a little-understood technique. It was thought trials would produce generalizable knowledge with similar outcomes for successive trials. As a result, regulators adopted a criterion of two positive placebo-controlled trials for licensing medicine. For physicians keen to stall therapeutic bandwagons and eliminate ineffective treatments, a negative RCT result was a good outcome. When made a gateway to the market, companies, in contrast, had an interest to transform RCTs from assessments that might throw up unexpected or negative results into Randomized Controlled Assays (RCAs) that efficiently generated approvable results. This article outlines the differences between RCTs and RCAs, the steps companies took to transform RCTs into RCAs, and the consequences of this transformation.
Risk Factors Related to Intimate Partner Violence in Same- and Different-Sex Couples
Authors: Magalhães Mariana , Aparicio-García Marta E. , Rubio-Valdehita Susana
Published: October 2023

Despite its high prevalence in same-sex couples, the study of intimate partner violence (IPV) has been mostly focused on different-sex couples. When lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) samples are considered, similarities between same- and different-sex couples arise, as well as some specificities regarding same-sex couples. Although several studies report a higher IPV prevalence among LGB couples in comparison to heterosexual couples, less research focuses on the differences among the violent dynamics and the influence of risk factors, and most do not consider a Spanish sample. After being recruited on social networks and Spanish lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) associations, a sample of 605 Spanish people participated in this study (71.7% female and 35.7% engaged in a same-sex relationship) through an online survey that included self-reported measures on IPV experiences and behavioral risk factors (witnessing interparental violence; risky sexual behaviors; tobacco, alcohol, and drug consumption). Results suggest a similar IPV prevalence between same- and different-sex couples. Moreover, different IPV types presented comparable prevalence among individuals engaged in gay and lesbian couples. Multinomial logistic regressions showed IPV and partner’s sex have a significant effect on an individual adopting risky sexual behaviors and consuming alcohol, with those behaviors having a higher prevalence in individuals engaged in same-sex couples. These results differed by sex, as the impact of IPV and partner’s sex on adopting risky sexual behaviors and consuming alcohol only existed among female participants. Our findings accentuate the need to consider the different pressures and IPV experiences among same- and different-sex couples while creating interventions.
The goals of land use optimization in Russia
Authors: Kiryushin V. I.
Published: October 2023

The land reform of the 1990s created certain economic and environmental prerequisites for efficient land use. However, they are not implemented due to the complete liberalization of the market and the disengagement of the State from land management, the termination of state land administration. Adjustment of the economic course and strategic planning are considered as the initial condition for land use rationalization and further transformations. As a planning tool, it is proposed to implement regional models of agro-industrial production in development of previously used agricultural management systems based on the development of regional GIS for agroecological land assessment and projecting of adaptive landscape farming systems in M 1 : 100 000. For this purpose, a system of integrated land assessment has been developed, and the experience of land administration projecting, landscape planning, and projecting of adaptive landscape farming systems has been generalized. On the basis of its integration, it is planned to develop new land administration on a landscape basis, and, subsequently, agricultural landscapes projecting.

Published: October 2023

Deuterium adalah isotop atom hidrogen yang memiliki struktur sederhana dan memiliki sifat kuantum yang sama dengan atom hidrogen. Dalam hal ini solusi persamaan yang akan digunakan sebagai solusi adalah persamaan Schrodinger dari koordinat bola. Posisi elektron dalam atom tidak dapat ditentukan dengan pasti, tetapi kita dapat menentukan probabilitas dengan menggunakan fungsi radial atom deuterium. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah pendekatan ketidakpastian Hesenberg dalam menentukan momentum dan spektrum energi atom deuterium n=4. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian non eksperimen berupa pengembangan teori yang ada. Hasil penelitian ini meliputi (1) data distribusi probabilitas, ekspektasi, ketidakpastian momentum, dan simulasi keluaran grafik ketidakpastian momentum atom deuterium tergantung pada bilangan kuantum utama dan azimuth-nya, (2) data distribusi spektrum energi n≤4. Semakin besar nilai bilangan kuantum utama dan azimuth-nya akan mengakibatkan peningkatan nilai ketidakpastian momentumnya dan mengakibatkan penurunan nilai ketidakpastian posisinya, sehingga semakin akurat pengukuran posisi akan menghasilkan pengukuran momentum yang lebih tidak akurat. Data yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa semakin besar tingkat energinya, maka energi atom Deutrium yang diperoleh akan semakin kecil. Ini karena semakin banyak lintasan kulit atom akan menghasilkan lebih sedikit energi.

KLASİK ŞİİRDE ÖVÜLEN VE KÖTÜLENEN “TÜRK” TİPİ
Authors: BIÇAK Nihat
Published: October 2023

Millet bilincine ulaşan bireylerin ait oldukları ulusu yüceltmesi, dünya genelinde yaygın olan bir gerçekliktir. Bu gerçeklik, bazen bir milletin diğer milletlerden eksik olmadığını gösteren savunma, bazen de diğer milletlerden üstün olma iddiasıyla ya da onları aşağılayan bir saldırı aracı olarak karşımıza çıkar. Birçok kültüre, millete komşu olan veya iç içe geçen Türklük de bazen yüceltilmiş, bazen uzun dönem saldırı altında kalmıştır. Fakat bu saldırı, tahmin edilenin aksine dışarıdan değil, daha çok içerden yapılmıştır. Böyle bir durumun oluşmasında birçok neden sıralanabilir. Örneğin; Türklerin çok sayıda güçlü hanedanlık kurup birbiriyle savaşması, Çin’den Sibirya güneylerine, oradan Avrupa ortalarına kadar geniş bir coğrafyaya farklı adlarla yayılması, din değişikliği ve göçebe yaşama tarzı gibi nedenler akla ilk gelenlerdir. Dolayısıyla Türklük; bazen Çin veya Anadolu gibi coğrafyalarla bazen Tatar, Moğol gibi halklarla bazen tarih öncesi devirlerden günümüze kadar kurulan devletlerle bazen de Şamanist geleneklerden İslam’a kadar olan inançlarla ilişkilendirilir. Bu ilişkilendirmelerin bir kısmı Türklüğü yüceltici, bir kısmı aşağılayıcıdır. Türk boylarının ayrıştırılması, bazılarına olumsuz özellikler atfedilmesi henüz Selçuklular döneminde başlar, Osmanlılar döneminde zirveye ulaşır. Osmanlılar döneminde çekik gözlü ve can alıcı güzelliğe sahip Türk sevgili övülürken Türklüğe de olumsuz nitelemeler yüklenir. Ayrıca toplumsal açıdan ele alınan Türklük aşağılanır. Bu çalışmada da Türklüğün tarihi gelişimi hakkında kısaca bilgiler verilip Osmanlılar döneminde Türklüğe bakış ve yapılan saldırılar edebî örneklerle gösterilecektir. Ulaşılan bilgiler doğrultusunda da bunun nedenleri açıklanacaktır.

Authors: Kurniawati Dwi , Darmawan Setia Budi
Published: October 2023

Fishery products in Indonesia serve as a vital source of nutrition for the local population and are significant export commodities. However, the presence of chemicals, particularly heavy metals such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), nearing safety thresholds, has led to export rejections. The aim of this research is to detect heavy metal contaminants in fishery products using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). This research was conducted at the Fish Quarantine and Inspection Agency Denpasar, Bali. A total of 17 samples of fishery products intended for international export were analyzed. The results of the tests revealed that none of the samples exceeded the allowable threshold for heavy metal contamination.

Authors: Fatimah Malida , Junanah Junanah , Husain Andi Musthafa
Published: October 2023

Being a working woman is challenging, often entailing multiple conflicts. Despite these challenges, working women effectively navigate through a range of religious coping mechanisms. This study explored the application of religious coping by working Muslim women in Yogyakarta, Indonesia when confronted with stress-inducing situations. This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The participant pool comprised of 54 working Muslim women from several locations in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research instrument included a religious coping scale featuring five coping types: Doubt about God's power and love, self-reflection and hopeful thinking, coping with pressure to achieve life changes, forgiveness based on religion, and rituals. The findings indicate that working women employ four coping strategies to address the pressures they encounter. Notably, none of the working women selected Doubt for God's power and love. This suggests that all participants in the study held the belief that God consistently supports them in overcoming challenges in life, especially those stemming from managing multiple roles.
Adoptive In Situ Vaccination with Cyclical Intermittent Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) and Immunotherapy – a Review and Proposed Strategy
Authors: Swamy Kumara
Published: October 2023

Immunotherapy with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), low-dose antiangiogenics, immune adjuvants, nanomedicine, or other combinations will likely play a lead role in managing malignancies soon. Presently, its benefit extends to about 12% to 20% of patients, in the background of possible recurrence eventually and the toxicities, including in non-responders. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) not only eliminates the indexed lesions, but recently, the evidence is accumulating about its systemic abscopal effects. It needs to be evolved to a dependable in situ therapeutic vaccine production and to activate short- and long-term memory immune lymphocytes. The in-situ immune cascade happens with the ability of SBRT to generate Tumor-specific neoantigens and neoepitopes, which enhance the activation of antigen-presenting cells, invoke and restore the competence of Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, resulting in cancer cell lysis. This cell lysis, in turn, can generate further neoantigens and epitopes, imparting a virtuous cycle that is the hallmark of effective vaccines. Additionally, SBRT can synergistically enhance the other in situ vaccination strategies, concurrent in vitro vaccines or nanomedicines, making it a primary tool for sensitizing even the “cold” tumors for immunotherapy. The present proposed hypotheses, primarily based on a preclinical literature review, focus on the critical aspects of the in-situ vaccination generation capability of SBRT when used in pulsed, cyclical, or intermittent endothelial-sparing single dose schedules along with immunotherapy and other supportive measures. This schedule is categorized as in situ vaccine dose (ISVD) radiotherapy (RT) (distinguishable from the standard therapeutic SBRT schedule) in metastatic cancer settings after standard /first-line therapies.

The climate crisis is developing to a life-changing event on a global level. Health promotion with the aim to increase the health status of individuals, independent from the present health status has been developed on scientific basis at least for the last eight decades and follows. There are some basic principles, which are prerequisites for both, health promotion and climate protection. Those principles include (1) sustainability, (2) orientation on determinants, and (3) requirement of in-dividual as well as community approaches. People are generally aiming to protect their lifestyle habits (e.g. traveling, consumer habits) and personal properties (e.g. car, house) by easy solution with as little effort as possible, and this can affect both, health and climate. To reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and to protect our environment, changes towards a sustainable lifestyle have to be embed into everybody’s mind. Examples for domains, that need to be addressed in health promotion as well as in climate protection include education/ knowledge/ (health) literacy, physical activity, nutrition and dietary habits, mental health, and social capital. If health promo-tion fails to tackle those domains, this will continue to drive climate crisis. And climate change, in turn, will affect health. On the other hand, developing and promoting health resources in the domains mentioned could again help to mitigate the health-damaging effects of climate change.

The world is facing an energy crisis. Governments are seeking to provide universal energy access and guarantee energy security while trying to mitigate climate change. One possible solution is energy transitions towards low carbon energy systems. Among other things (physical infrastructure, public policy and regulatory enablers and knowledge and capacities) changes in the energy systems require a well informed and participative citizenship. Within this context the concept of energy literacy appears. Energy literacy is the understanding of how energy is generated, transported, stored, distributed and used, awareness about its environmental and social impacts and the knowledge to use it efficiently in the different sectors of the economy. This paper provides a systematic literature review in the Web of Science’s Core Collection. Most of the work done around energy literacy addresses its evaluation among different groups, particularly students at different levels, and the construction, application and evaluation of tools for improving energy literacy. Other frequently studied issues are the influence of energy literacy in decision making, its drivers and conceptual research about the topic. Energy enables citizens to effectively contribute to energy efficiency and sustainable development, nevertheless energy literacy is not strongly correlated to energy consumption habits.
Angle Trisection With Growth Rate Of The Golden Ratio
Authors: mousavi seyed kazem
Published: October 2023

On the basis of the golden ratio and the geometric compass, every angle was divided into three equal parts. In general, it has been proven that the problem of triangulation of an angle cannot be solved on the basis of the golden ratio and the expanding of the angle. The relationship of golden relativity with Pi number and Euler's number has not been investigated to solve impossible problems. According to the investigation of events in six-dimensional space-time, with the simultaneous movement of two arms of the compass based on the golden ratio, every angle was divided into three equal parts. The growth rate based on the golden ratio is the key to solving the most intractable mathematical and physical problems.

In the realm of power delivery to end-users, transformers are indispensable, with their malfunctions leading to substantial economic, safety, and environmental repercussions. The need for persistent surveillance is accentuated for in-situ oil-filled transformers, given the potential degradation of oil and the emergence of related ageing by-products. As the focus tilts towards online detection methodologies for transformer oil ageing, bypassing challenges associated with traditional offline methods such as sample contamination and misinterpretation, fiber optic sensors are gaining trac-tion due to their compact nature, cost-effectiveness, and resilience to electromagnetic disturbances typical in high-voltage environments. This work delves into the sensitivity analysis of intensi-ty-modulated plastic optical fiber sensors. The investigation encompasses key determinants such as the influence of optical source wavelengths, noise response dynamics, ramifications of varying sensing lengths, and repeatability assessments. Findings underscore that elongating the sensing length detrimentally affects both the linearity response and repeatability, largely attributed to the diminished resistance to external noise. Additionally, the choice of the optical source wavelength proved to be a critical variable in assessing sensor sensitivity.

Published: October 2023

Amid global energy challenges, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is gaining traction for green hydrogen production. While catalyst research is ongoing, recognizing electrolyte effects remains crucial for sustainable hydrogen production via renewable-powered water electrolysis. This review delves into the intricate effects of electrolytes on the kinetics of HER. It examines key factors, including pH, cations, anions, impurities, and electrolyte concentration. It is discussed that electrolyte pH alters catalyst-electrolyte interactions and proton concentrations, thereby influencing factors such as hydrogen binding energy, water adsorption, and the overall reaction kinetics. Moreover, it is briefed that electrolyte cations, such as Li+, can impact HER positively or negatively, offering opportunities for improvement based on the metal substrate. Interestingly, there is a potential that HER can be tuned using Li+ ions to modify M-H bond energy, demonstrating flexibility beyond pH levels and counter ions. Varied adsorption energies of metal cations on metal electrodes are also found to influence HER kinetics. The effects of electrolyte anions and impurities are also discussed, emphasizing both positive and negative impacts on HER kinetics. Moreover, it is pointed out that the electrolyte engineering approach enhances the HER kinetics of both metal and carbon-based electrodes without permanent catalyst surface modifications. This review underscores the importance of electrolyte composition, highlighting both challenges and potential solutions in advancing HER research for sustainable energy production.

Abstract: rainfall is the main driver of soil erosion. With the daily rainfall, riverine flow discharge and sediment load in the upper Lianjiang River watershed from 1990 to 2020, extreme rainfall events were defined by the 95th percentile method and minimum event interval time (MIT), change trends and mutations of yearly rainfall, riverine flow discharge and sediment load were identified using the Mann-Kendall test, then the optimum lag response time and antecedent rainfall were investigated with the multiple linear regression. The results showed that (1) the sediment changed significantly and abruptly in 1995 due to the expansion of the garden land. (2) Compared with ordinary rainfall, extreme rainfall events explained more variations of riverine flow and sediment with a higher degree, and had a more significant effect on the lag time of runoff and sediment. (3) Garden land expansion in extreme rainfall scenarios resulted in longer lag times for runoff and sediment and decreased demand for antecedent rainfall with more pre-event time. Therefore, taking the rainfall event as a breakthrough, analyzing the antecedent rainfall and the lag response of riverine flow discharge and sediment load is conducive to revealing the response mechanism of riverine flow discharge and sediment load and improving the simulation accuracy of riverine flow and sediment under extreme rainfall condition, thus help for the soil erosion control under extreme rainfall.

We report a diode pumped solid state (DPSS) laser used for intracavity pump-enhanced difference frequency generation (DFG) to create a 3.5 micron laser. Using a 50 mm-long periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal inside the cavity of an Nd:YVO4 solid state laser at 1064 nm with 4.5 W pump power at 808 nm, and a 310 mW C-band signal at 1529 nm, up to 31 mW of mid-infrared output power at 3499 nm is obtained. The cavity requires no active stabilization and/or locking, and the entire cavity is <8 cm in length. The obtained output power corresponds to a black box efficiency of 2.20 %W-1, which is the highest value reported to date for continuous wave DFG based on a bulk nonlinear optical crystal with no active stabilization. Potential future applications in free space optical communication are discussed as well.
