Musik dan Harmoni Alam: Perspektif Filsafat IPA dan Islam
Authors: Manasikan Oktaffi Arinna
Published: January 2025

This research examines the relationship between music and the laws of nature through the perspective of the philosophy of science and Islamic values. Using the literature review method, various classical and contemporary texts, including the Qur'an, Hadith, and the thoughts of scholars, are analysed to understand music as a reflection of the harmony of the cosmos. Science philosophy views music as a form of mathematical and physical patterns that describe the order of the universe. On the other hand, in Islam, music is associated with dimensions of spirituality and morality, which highlight the harmony between humans and nature. This research shows that both science philosophy and Islam emphasise the importance of the relationship between art, science and spirituality in understanding the universe. The findings expand cross-disciplinary understanding of the role of music in reflecting the beauty and order of nature, and open up opportunities for further study of the impact of music on human life from a scientific and spiritual perspective.

Published: January 2025

Mangrove forests are tropical ecosystems with significant ecological, social, and economic benefits. This ecosystem has unique characteristics due to the complex interactions between its constituent components. This research aims to: (1) analyze the diversity of mangrove species on the coastal shores of Dowora Village, Tidore Islands City as poster-based teaching materials in the subject of biodiversity; (2) identify the types of mangroves present in the area; and (3) evaluate the feasibility of the poster teaching materials based on the research results. The method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the Borg & Gall approach and the quadrant or plot method for data collection. The research results show that there are four types of mangroves in the area, namely Rhizophora apiculata, Bruguiera gymnorhiza, Sonneratia alba, and Ceriops tagal, with different diversity indices. The highest diversity index was obtained by Rhizophora apiculata (5.064), while Sonneratia alba and Bruguiera gymnorhiza had indices of 1.456 and 1.396, respectively, and Ceriops tagal had an index of 1.268. The validation of the poster teaching materials by content experts reached a validity level of 75% (fairly valid), while the validation by media experts reached 98% (very valid). These results indicate that the poster teaching materials are suitable for use as a learning medium for biodiversity based on the mangrove ecosystem.
Potensi, Peluang, dan Risiko Teknologi Nano dalam Kosmetik: Inovasi, Efektivitas, dan Tantangan Keamanan
Authors: Faizah
Published: January 2025

Nanotechnology in the field of cosmetics has experienced rapid development over the past four decades in developed countries, while in Indonesia, it is still in the development stage through various research and innovations. This technology offers many advantages, such as improving the performance and efficiency of cosmetic products. Nano-sized particles with a large surface area enable more effective transportation of active ingredients to the skin, enhance the efficacy of sunscreens for deeper penetration, and improve skin hydration. However, the use of nano-technology-based cosmetics also poses potential risks, including increased toxicity, inhalation risk through spray products, penetration into blood vessels, and other health impacts. This research uses the literature review method by analyzing various primary and secondary sources, including scientific journals, research reports, and regulations related to nanotechnology in cosmetics. The analysis was conducted to identify the benefits, potential risks, and the need for safety regulations in the use of nanotechnology in the field of cosmetics. The research results emphasize the importance of clear and strict regulations from the Food and Drug Administration (BPOM) regarding the safety limits of nano materials in cosmetics. This regulation provides guidance to cosmetic industry players and the public in understanding the safety standards of nano-based products, thereby supporting the development of safe and effective cosmetics in Indonesia.

Market Networking and Trading: A Case of Transforming Village Women’s Lives
Authors:   De La Salle University, Chiong-Javier Ma. Elena
Published: January 2025

An informal group of rural women residing in a Southern Philippine watershed community demonstrates that networking and market participation are viable means for self-transformation amidst limited opportunities. Based on network analysis and qualitative interviews, this article delineates the women’s marketing ties and experiences as vegetable biyahidors (traders) who hurdle constraints such as capital shortage, losses incurred from grading and transporting perishables, increasing market competition, and lack of organized response to problem solving. These challenges are addressed through marketing practices established individually, as well as collectively. The article underscores the necessity of institutional support through responsive market policies and programs to ensure the sustainability of the women’s entrepreneurial endeavors.
Reflection on Ethical Cyberspace: An Ethics of Human Development and Capabilities Approach
Authors:   University of the Philippines-Manila, Delez Rodney Timothy
Published: January 2025

The internet is a technology that permeates in the habitat of the modern man of today. It carries the power to change and mold the way man lives and acts. It can produce many other effects as well out of it that may not have been thought of before. To consider that man as a being in relation to others carries the distinction of values shared and dissipated to everyone. And the internet is a medium where communication and interaction of one being to another do happen. Such a development need not produce a worsening of man’s wellbeing and flourishing. In fact, the internet, if put to an ethical use and regulated by reflexive minds, can produce a powerful tool for progress and development, not only on economistic terms, but on human development as well. As we strive to preserve humanity that we would want it to normatively become, we actively pursue an ethical development of cyberspace and its derivatives thereof.

Self-Directed Activity-Based Learning and Achievement in High School Chemistry
Authors:   Valdosta State University, Bassett Meighan M. , Martinez James , Martin Ellice P.
Published: January 2025

The effects of student-directed activity-based learning (SDABL) were examined in two high school chemistry classes. Students in the SDABL class were given pretest results, a list of standards to be mastered, and a chart of learning activities categorized by difficulty level. They selected activities to meet their needs and preferences. Significantly greater achievement gains and more consistent participation were found in the teacher-led instruction class. Overall, most students believed they learn better by teacher-led instructional methods. SDABL may have the potential to be effective in high school chemistry classes if more student preparation is part of the strategy.
Are Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States a Single Institutional Group? Evidence from Educational Outcomes
Authors:   Old Dominion University, Simms Kathryn , Bock Sara
Published: January 2025

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have been studied consistently as a single institutional group. However, at least ostensibly, HBCUs are relatively heterogeneous. Consequently, we evaluated the homogeneity of three educational outcomes that have been recognized as potentially distinguishing features of HBCUs (i.e., STEM major, GPA, and degree completion). Hierarchical linear and nonlinear modeling conducted on two large databases suggested greater variability within HBCUs than between HBCUs. This variability tended to be explained by HBCUs’ public versus private status, advanced degrees offerings, and enrollment. We conclude that HBCUs’ institutional characteristics are relevant, but that they may underscore differences within one institutional group.
Servant Leadership in a Catholic School: A Study in the Western Australian Context
Authors:   University of Western Australia, Striepe Michelle , O’Donoghue Thomas
Published: January 2025

Over the past two decades, faith-based schools have expanded in number, grown in diversity, and become an important part of education systems worldwide. As a result, a rich research agenda in the field has emerged. One aspect of this agenda relates to school leadership. What is particularly neglected is research on the impact of leadership theory on school leaders in faith-based schools. While large-scale surveys are to be welcomed in this regard, these should be complemented by a large number of case studies. This paper, which arose from a study on a Catholic school in Western Australia, illustrates one direction which such case study work could take. It portrays how leadership theory has found its way into the cognitive frameworks used by leaders in the school to guide their work and the nature of the particular leadership theory they have assimilated within these frameworks. In particular, it indicates how one model of school leadership, namely, that of ‘servant leadership’, has been embraced as an overarching guide within the cognitive frameworks used by the school’s leaders to guide their work and that it is an approach that is seen as being appropriate for a Catholic school.
Storytelling Scientists: What do PhD Students Get Out of Going Back to School?
Authors:   The University of Western Australia, Dook Jan E.
Published: January 2025

A common response to headlines such as: “There is a crisis in science and mathematics education” is for educational or research organisations such as universities, to offer outreach programs either based in schools or on campus. The SPICE program at The University of Western Australia is one such program. A strategy adopted by SPICE to support school students is the Travelling Scientist project. Travelling scientists are doctoral students who visit secondary students and talk about their science journey. While the overall aim of the Travelling Science project is to broaden study and career options of secondary students, this paper focuses on travelling scientists. Narrative accounts are used to describe their experiences and through these gain some insight into professional and personal benefits and drawbacks. A framework of graduate attributes as a measure of professional value shows clear benefits from being a travelling scientist, but these benefits must be weighed against time management issues.
Quality Assurance Strategies in Higher Education: The Case of Ghanaian Polytechnics
Authors:   Institute for Post School Studies, University of the Western Cape, South Africa, Swanzy Patrick ,   University of Adelaide, Australia, Potts Anthony
Published: January 2025

This study investigated the internal quality assurance strategies Ghanaian polytechnics enacted in order to improve graduate outcomes. A qualitative methodological approach via in-depth interviewing of twenty key informants and document analysis was used to establish how polytechnics in Ghana addressed problematic situations in quality assurance. The findings revealed that their internal quality assurance strategies focused on staff and students, where quality concerns were most prominent. These strategies seem to have enhanced teaching and learning in the polytechnics but there was the need for them to re-institutionalise their internal quality systems to enable them to deliver quality vocational and technical education.
Teacher Education in Australia in Uncertain Times
Authors:   University of Western Australia, O’Donoghue Tom
Published: January 2025

Currently, the Australian university sector almost has a monopoly in the provision of courses and programmes for the initial preparation of teachers across the nation. What the future holds for the field, however, is quite uncertain. This uncertainty, as this paper will demonstrate, is reflected in a number of trends. First, while a trend has manifested itself over the last number requiring that in order to gain accreditation as a teacher one must graduate with a professional master's degree, it is not at all clear that this is being deemed attractive to potential student teachers. Secondly, national policies in all aspects of teacher education continue to be very difficult to implement since, constitutionally, States can, and do, insist on adding their own variations to them. Thirdly, the historical trend of regularly calling for an overhaul of approaches to teacher preparation in Australia has not died out and continues to distract teacher educators from getting on with their work. Fourthly, further distraction is provided by a focus on the part of policymakers on emphasising the outcomes of programmes of teacher preparation rather than their content and on gathering evidence on the impact of the graduates of the various providers on student learning. Fifthly, the notion of 'the teaching continuum' receives very little emphasis in the current policy discourse on teacher preparation in Australia. Finally, the instructions for institutions applying for accreditation for their courses of teacher preparation and the hours of work that have to be undertaken to provide the documentation required are so enormous that it is almost impossible to include approaches in courses of teacher preparation that cultivate creativity and innovation.
Exploring an Integrated Approach to Professional Development for the Enhancement of English Language Teaching and Learning
Authors:   The University of Coimbra, Portugal, Luís Ana R.
Published: January 2025

Professional development is widely recognised as an essential path to promoting quality teaching and learning, but ‘effective’ professional development is dependent on core features such as duration, relevance and active teacher participation, all of which are central to teacher-centred research (Garet et al., 2001; Sanford, 2015; Scheerens, 2010). In Portugal, where continuing professional development is mandatory, teachers often find short-term and ‘one-size-fits-all’ seminars – which generally do not meet these core features – only remotely relevant. This paper describes an alternative path to professional development developed at the University of Coimbra which encourages English language teachers to develop research projects based on their own teaching experience. The results so far reveal that, when given the opportunity, teachers focus on problem areas which emerge directly from their daily concerns about student learning and motivation. It is therefore our thesis that the kind of professional development generally on offer paradoxically fails to help teachers develop their aptitude to examine and provide solutions for the problems they diagnose in their own classes and schools, thus failing to allow professional development to have an effective and immediate impact on teacher practice and student learning.
Mixed But Not Mixing: Enabling Agency and Collaboration Among a Diverse Student Teacher Cohort to Support Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning
Authors:   Mary Immaculate College Limerick, Hamilton Miriam , O’Dwyer Anne
Published: January 2025

The rich diversity of pupils entering Irish primary schools has risen in recent years. This prompts initial teacher education (ITE) programme designers to be increasingly aware of how to best prepare and support student teachers. Consequently, it is important that such diversity be reflected among cohorts entering ITE. This research explores perspectives of a group of first year students on a primary ITE programme, in an Irish higher-level institution (HEI). The cohort comprised of traditional entrants (TE), who entered ITE directly from second-level education, with a smaller more diverse sub-group of mature students (MS), returning to formal education. Science education was used as a lens to exemplify markers of diversity and differentiation within the group. While the TE are a relatively homogenous group from social and cultural perspectives, the data indicated that the learning needs of both the TE and MS were highly differentiated. We present the complexities for teacher educators teaching a diverse and differentiated cohort, and the challenges of preparing large undergraduate cohorts in ITE. The results illustrate varied perceptions of the ‘other’ and assumptions about the ‘other’ between the MS and TE, which in this study were found to impede integration and collaboration across these discrete groups. This paper suggests that the diversity evident within and across the MS and TE groups offers scope for new understandings about diversity in ITE. We conclude that valuable opportunities exist for significant mutual learning and appreciation of difference, by structuring greater integration and opportunities for peer dialogue and collaboration between MS and TE cohorts.

Authors:   University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra, Nitra, Gadusova Zdenka , Predanocyova Lubica
Published: January 2025

Slovak education is currently undergoing a reform process aimed at achieving better quality in the education and learning outcomes of students. A decrease in the number of teachers, and applicants for teacher training programs, as well as the drop in interest of the graduates to work at schools has been observed for some time. Regarding the recruitment of students for teaching profession, recent years have been marked by a lower quality of applicants for teacher training programs and, in relation to lower number of applicants, also by the lack of adequate choice of prospective students. The paper presents a system of professional teacher training designed to align the content and practical pedagogical components, which are based on a complex of teacher competences. The teacher’s competence profile is based on the pupil’s competency profile and it focuses on three core competence groupings, related to the professional development of the teacher, the development of the pupil’s personality and the educational process. The competences are currently subject of the APVV-14-0446 project Assessment of Teacher Competences, which examines the possibilities of creating a system of assessment criteria for teachers’ performance and its application.
Student Teachers’ Interpretation of Leadership in Educational Contexts
Authors:   Mary Immaculate College, O’Sullivan Eilís , Nohilly Margaret
Published: January 2025

Education in Ireland presents an idiosyncratic context. Study of this lends depth and insight to any international consideration of education, complex as this must be. This paper considers student teachers’ perspectives and interpretations of leadership in primary (national) schools in Ireland. It focuses on the findings of research undertaken with two cohorts of student teachers in their final year of study. To contextualise the research findings, the paper begins by charting the development of leadership structures within the Irish primary school system. It moves then to outline briefly the Bachelor of Education programme in the university college where the study was undertaken. In detailing the research findings, the paper highlights the student teachers’ experiences of leadership while undertaking school or professional placement, a core component of their university programme. It presents the students’ perceptions of their potential to contribute to distributed leadership within schools while completing their final placement and afterwards on appointment to teaching positions. As part of their conclusion, the authors suggest that the extension of this research to include cohorts from each of the teacher education colleges in Ireland could support future policy development in initial teacher education.
Student Teacher Educational Research (STER): An Innovation in Irish Teacher Education
Authors:   Marino Institute of Education, Brennan Aimie
Published: January 2025

This paper introduces an innovative project in teacher education, designed to enhance student teachers’ engagement with educational research methods by creating a peer-learning network. The Student Teacher Educational Research (STER) project was established by the author in partnership with a group of student volunteers in 2017. The project focused on creating new forums for student teacher research dissemination that encouraged and promoted collaboration amongst student teachers during initial teacher education. Responding to Irish Higher Education policy (2016), the project positioned student teachers as partners and co-creators in the management of STER and created a peer-learning network which enhanced the learning and engagement of all participants. STER was piloted with a cohort of student teachers in one Faculty of Education in Ireland. All participants were undertaking a research project as part of their programme of study. This research presents the findings of the evaluation of that pilot year, incorporating qualitative and quantitative data from twenty-seven students. The learning derived from participation in STER will be outlined, with a particular emphasis on how peer-learning and research dissemination can be supported in ITE. Giving student teachers an opportunity to share their research in a student-led learning community motivated them to engage with educational research outside of lectures and participants gained a greater appreciation for the potential of educational research to influence practice.

Language and Identity: A Study of the Ethnic Assertion of Tikhir Tribe in Nagaland
Authors:   Nagaland University, Yamsani Srikanth ,   Nagaland University
Published: January 2025

India’s northeast region is inhabited by numerous Indigenous communities with diverse multicultural and multilingual backgrounds. Language and identity have emerged as focal points of ethnic conflict and self-assertion movements among many linguistic minority communities in this region. In Nagaland State, growing alienation and hostility with the neighbouring Yimkhiung dominant tribe have spurred the Tikhir community to demand a separate tribe identity. The Tikhir community contested the imposition of a dominant language group within their community and has endured significant human and economic losses due to ethnic conflict. This paper delineates the process of ethnic assertion within the Tikhir community and their quest for identity. It elucidates the evolution of the Tikhir’s struggle for identity through dialect separation and the influence of religious affiliation. The paper also delves into the role of various Tikhir ethnic associations in identity assertion and the pivotal issues fueling their movement.

Authors:   Government College, Agarwal Amit
Published: January 2025

For India to achieve the goal of being a developed country by 2047, known as Viksit Bharat@2047, demographic and cultural continuity is essential. It is easier to create policies that support sustainable growth and the preservation of national identity when demographic trends and cultural changes are understood. This review looks at how cultural elements like language, customs, and social values interact with demographic facts like age distribution, urbanization trends (Wirth, 1981), and migration patterns to affect economic planning, healthcare, and education. The analysis emphasizes how crucial it is to balance these elements in order to promote equitable progress and honor India’s cultural legacy. This study highlights methods for building a resilient, future-ready India that balances demographic realities with cultural continuity by tackling issues associated with population variety and changing cultural dynamics. In addition to ensuring balanced development, this strategy fortifies the sociocultural fabric that supports India’s aspirations for development and advancement.

Authors: - Prabhavathi Matta
Published: January 2025

Account takeover fraud represents a significant threat to online security, leading to financial losses and reputational damage for both individuals and organizations. As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, traditional security measures have proven insufficient in combating these sophisticated attacks and using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in fraud detection has gained prominence. AI systems can analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and anomalies indicative of fraudulent activities. However, these systems are not without challenges.This paper explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) address these challenges by leveraging advanced analytics to detect anomalies and predict fraudulent activities. While AI-driven systems significantly enhance detection capabilities, they also present challenges such as false positives, data dependency, and ethical concerns. This study offers a comprehensive exploration of AI’s role in fraud detection, mitigation strategies, and emerging trends shaping the future of account security.
A Case Report of Primary Peritoneal Mesothelioma in a Male Patient
Authors: Hota Sarbashis , Aich Rajarshi , Chakrabarti Srabani
Published: January 2025

Mesothelioma is a malignant neoplasm arising from the mesothelial lining of serous cavities. Commonly arising from the pleura, this rare malignancy is strongly associated with asbestos exposure; however, origins from other sites, such as the tunica vaginalis of the testis, have also been reported in the literature. Hereby, the authors present a case of primary peritoneal mesothelioma in a 39-year-old male patient. The patient, a worker in the marble polishing industry, presented with metabolically active extensive mesenteric, peritoneal, and omental thickening involving the entire abdominal cavity, along with intra-abdominal lymphadenopathy, which was initially diagnosed as metastatic papillary adenocarcinoma based on an omental biopsy. No other metabolically active focus was detected on Positron Emmision Tomography (PET)-Computed Tomography (CT) elsewhere in the body. A review of the histopathology sections showed omental fatty tissue infiltrated by a neoplasm arranged predominantly in a papillary architecture, composed of cells showing a tendency toward dyscohesion. The neoplastic cells were round-oval, without overt nuclear pleomorphism, possessing small round nuclei with a single prominent nucleolus and a moderate amount of eosinophilic cytoplasm. Mitotic activity was inconspicuous. The tumour expressed Calretinin and WT1, leading to a final diagnosis of mesothelioma. Despite active management with intraperitoneal chemotherapy, the patient expired after three months.

Authors: Isniwati Yuni , Cokrowati Nunik , Asri Yuliana
Published: January 2025

Seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii has a high economic value. This seaweed is included in the class Rhodophyceae or red algae which is known for its diverse nutritional content, high vitamin content, protective pigments, and sufficient mineral content, so that this seaweed is widely used in various industries, such as the food industry, health sector, and cosmetics industry. The problem that cultivators often face is limited seeds, so tissue culture seeds are needed. Different seaweed harvest periods will affect the quality produced. From this statement there has been no related research regarding the different lengths of maintenance for seaweed plantlets resulting from tissue culture, especially in Gerupuk Bay. Therefore, it is important to carry out research regarding different lengths of maintenance, with the aim of finding out the optimal harvesting period for cultivators. The method used in this research was an experimental method with a completely randomized design. This treatment was carried out with 4 treatments and 3 repetitions, namely P1: 30 days, P2: 35 days, P3: 40 days and P4: 45 days. The four treatments were repeated 3 times to obtain 12 experimental units. The initial seed weight used in each treatment was 10 grams. The water quality parameter values ​​obtained during the research are still considered optimal. The results of the research carried out can be concluded that the harvest age for seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii have a real influence on weight growth, specific growth in seaweed. The best absolute growth was obtained in the P4 treatment with a 45 day harvest with a weight of 388 grams, as well as the best specific growth rate in the P4 treatment of 5.91%.

Selective Extracellular Matrix Guided Mesenchymal Stem Cell Self‐Aggregate Engineering for Replication of Meniscal Zonal Tissue Gradient in a Porcine Meniscectomy Model
Authors: Noh Sujin , Jin Yong Jun , Shin Dong Il , Kwon Hyeon Jae , Yun Hee‐Woong , Kim Kyu Min , Park Jae‐Young , Chung Jun Young , Park Do Young
Published: July 2023

Degenerative meniscus tears (DMTs) are prevalent findings in osteoarthritic knees, yet current treatment is mostly limited to arthroscopic partial meniscectomy rather than regeneration, which further exacerbates arthritic changes. Translational research regarding meniscus regeneration is hindered by the complex, composite nature of the meniscus which exhibit a gradient from inner cartilage‐like tissue to outer fibrous tissue, as well as engineering hurdles often requiring growth factors and cross‐linking agents. Here, a meniscus zonal tissue gradient is proposed using zone‐specific decellularized meniscus extracellular matrix (DMECM) and autologous synovial mesenchymal stem cells (SMSC) via self‐aggregation without the use of growth factors or cross‐linking agents. Combination with zone‐specific DMECM during self‐aggregation of MSCs forms zone‐specific meniscus tissue that reflects the respective DMECM harvest site. The implantation of these constructs leads to the regeneration of meniscus tissue resembling the native meniscus, demonstrating inner cartilaginous and outer fibrous characteristics as well as recovery of native meniscal microarchitecture in a porcine partial meniscectomy model at 6 months. In all, the findings offer a potential regenerative therapy for DMTs that may improve current partial meniscectomy‐based patient care.

Three undescribed glycoside constituents, macrophyllosides E‐G and a pair of iridoid glycosides genticrasides A/B, together with eleven known glycoside compounds were isolated from the roots of Gentiana crassicaulis Duthie ex Burk. Their structures were identified by means of spectra analysis and data comparison with previous literatures. Interestingly, the glucose moieties in macrophylloside E and F possess free anomeric hydroxy groups. Genticrasides A/B, identified as a pair of iridoid originated lactones, have not been reported from Gentianaceae family up to now. The anti‐inflammatory effects of selected compounds were also evaluated through the nitric oxide (NO) production inhibition in lipopolysaccharides (LPS)‐induced RAW264.7 macrophage cells. In which, macrophyllosides G and D showed NO inhibitory activities with rates of 76.14±4.02 % and 52.44±8.29 % at 100 μg/mL.
Influence of Electrofishing Boat Operation and Driving Techniques on Reservoir Fish Catches
Authors: Grant Joshua D , Ingram Steven J , Bonar Scott A
Published: July 2023

We compared three methods of boat driving and pedal operation using 600-s transects: these were the parallel continuous (PC), parallel intermittent (PI), and arc-intermittent (AI) methods for surveying warmwater fishes in reservoirs. We tested differences in total time and distance per transect, CPUE (fish/h, fish/m), and length frequencies of captured fish among methods. The PC method took the least amount of time, while the AI method took the least amount of distance to complete a transect. The AI method provided slightly higher CPUE (fish/h, fish/m) for Bluegill Lepomis macrochirus and Yellow Bass Morone mississippiensis and higher CPUE (fish/m) for Common Carp Cyprinus carpio, Green Sunfish L. cyanellus, and Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides. Each method caught similar size ranges of fish; however, there were slight differences in proportions of sizes for Gizzard Shad Dorosoma cepedianum, Largemouth Bass, and Bluegill. Overall, the AI method performed slightly better for a few species; however, difference in the methods were minor. Any technique should work well for monitoring reservoir fish populations when fish/h is the effort metric.
Framework for Complex SoS Emergent Behavior Evolution Using Deep Reinforcement Learning

Published: July 2023

Advances in technology have made it easy to integrate multiple modern systems to form complex system‐of‐systems (SoS) to achieve unparalleled levels of functionality that are otherwise not achievable by the constituent systems in isolation. In fact, with the recent explosion of machine learning techniques to build autonomous systems such as drones and self‐driving cars, there is a pressing need to ensure that they collaboratively and safely operate in an SoS context. However, in general, the characteristic emergent behaviors of complex SoS – that directly impact its operational measures of success or Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs) – is very difficult, if not impossible, to manually explore, anticipate, and arbitrate just from knowledge of its underlying systems. Further, there are multiple scenarios of evolution in such complex SoS, including evolution in the emergent behavior of the SoS. The continuous, continual, and evolving nature of the SoS and constituent system environment's state and possible actions, adds further complexity. In this paper, we present a novel approach that leverages Reinforcement Learning, a machine learning approach, to inculcate adaptable intelligence in constituent systems to adapt their behaviors in tandem with the evolution of emergent behavior at the SoS level. By augmenting the reward mechanism of RL by leveraging SoS‐Constituent System MOE Relationship, that relates and ranks System MOEs vs. SoS MOEs, we inculcate an Intelligent‐Behavior Evolution Agent, with the necessary constraints to learn to maximize the SoS and system‐level MOEs, while adapting itself to the evolution in SoS. We illustrate our approach and demonstrate its feasibility and potential by applying it to a power grid SoS case example. The effectiveness and performance of the approach are quantified.
Two Variant Modeling Methods for MBPLE at Airbus

Published: July 2023

Product Line Engineering (PLE) is a fundamental component of systems engineering. As postulated in INCOSE's Vision 2025, Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is becoming the norm for systems engineering. Thus, we need to integrate PLE into MBSE. An important aspect of this integration is the definition of model‐based methods. This paper defines two possible approaches for variant modeling with SysML applied at Airbus and provides insights into their application in practice.

Achieving high‐performance luminescence for underwater bonding remains a significant challenge in materials science. This study addresses this issue by synthesizing a luminescent material based on an aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) monomer and copolymerizing it with lipoic acid (LA) to create an AIE supramolecular polymer. The resulting copolymer exhibits strong fluorescence under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation at 365 nm due to the AIE of TPEE and enables underwater adhesion. The P(LA‐TPEE) polymer demonstrates potential for digital encryption and decryption of quick response (QR) codes underwater. Furthermore, it can dissolve well in anhydrous ethanol, producing an environment‐friendly and super waterproof adhesive. Most notably, the P(LA‐TPEE) solution can be sprayed on human skin, creating an invisible tattoo that only became visible under UV light due to the hydrogen bond (H‐bond) and π–π structures. This smart tattoo can be quickly wiped away with alcohol, avoiding the painful and harmful process of tattoo removal. It can also be repeatedly applied to draw the preferred tattoo pattern. This AIE supramolecular polymer shows great potential in underwater adhesion and repair, underwater message encryption, and non‐toxic and painless invisible tattooing. Overall, this study provides a valuable approach for material design in the future.
Adolescent psychiatry of Y. Kasahara and succeeding research onHikikomoriin Europe and in Japan
Authors: Furuhashi Tadaaki
Published: July 2023

This paper will focus on the works of one of Japan's representative psychiatrists, Yomishi Kasahara, particularly on his works in the 1970s in which he proposed the concept of student apathy, and will discuss how this work was carried over into a contemporary topic, the study of “Hikikomori.” Kasahara's well‐known paper “Clinical Classification of Depression” (Kasahara and Kimura, 1975) described the present state of patients with Type III as “they do not have a complete set of symptoms as in Type I, but sometimes show dependency, strong exaggeration, complication of other neurotic symptoms, little tendency of self‐reproaching, and tendency of accusing others”; the two subtypes as Type III‐1 “those that remain at the neurotic level” and Type III‐2 “those that transiently drop to the psychotic level.” We have summarized and introduced below the case presented in the paper with this Type III‐1. From today's perspective, where the concept of “Hikikomori” exists, this case could be considered as a typical case of “Hikikomori,” that is, a person with a tendency to avoid social roles and responsibilities and to immerse oneself in areas with no responsibilities, such as hobbies. “Hikikomori” was discovered in the late 1980s, but to be precise, it was just that the concept emerged. The same clinical condition had already been brilliantly found by Kasahara in the 1970s under the concept of “apathy syndrome,” which was distinguished from depression.
Treatment of sleep‐related eating disorder with suvorexant: A case report on the potential benefits of replacing benzodiazepines with orexin receptor antagonists

Background

Nocturnal eating behavior in patients with sleep‐related eating disorder (SRED) is difficult to control and can become chronic, causing weight gain and psychological distress. Here, we report a case of SRED comorbid with major depressive disorder successfully treated by switching from brotizolam to suvorexant, that is, from a benzodiazepine to an orexin receptor antagonist.

Case Presentation

A 25‐year‐old woman complained of night snacking with partial/complete amnesia and sleepwalking for 1 year. She had a diagnosis of major depressive disorder at age 20 and was on paroxetine and brotizolam for depression and insomnia. At 24 years of age, she experienced her second depressive episode, then her amnestic nocturnal eating became prominent. Even after improvement in depressive symptoms, she experienced uncontrollable nocturnal eating episodes every 2 days, resulting in weight gain of over 10 kg. After a partial amnestic eating episode following an awakening from stage N2 sleep was confirmed through video polysomnography, she was diagnosed with SRED. Considering her strong desire to resolve involuntary eating, we instructed her to discontinue brotizolam and start suvorexant. Subsequently, her nocturnal eating completely disappeared. She experienced rebound insomnia, which improved within 1 month. She was then continued on 10 mg of suvorexant and has not experienced nocturnal eating for 2 years.

Conclusion

This case highlights the importance of discontinuing benzodiazepines in the treatment of SRED, but also suggests the potential benefit of orexin receptor antagonists in the treatment of SRED. The efficacy of orexin receptor antagonists in idiopathic SRED should be tested in future studies.
