A learning process is said to be good if learning is student-centered. Students perform activities in the learning process by using context as a starting point in learning. Design Research with a cycle that contains components of knowledge (K), design (D), experiment (E), reflection (R) is an alternative to create student-centered learning and obtain information and findings in research. This research was conducted in one of the junior high schools in Palembang City with a sample of 23 students. Research procedures were carried out including observation data analysis, interviews and documentation analysis. The conclusion of this research is that the existing knowledge of students is used as a basis for designing learning activities so that when implementing experiments students are able to carry out activities that are related to the initial abilities of students so that the context appears to be a strating point in learning so that the findings that arise can be analyzed and become a reflection to carry out cycles. Then the effectiveness of learning goes according to design and produces a series of understanding of numbers and also the situation of "pulling" and "stretching" in the kite game can be converted into "positive and "negative" symbols

Authors: Arna Nadhifa , Humairah Ira , Susanto Joni , Yuliawati Tri Hartini
Published: September 2024

Introduction: It is necessary to develop alternative antidiabetic therapies that are safer and more affordable to overcome the high prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Indonesia. Ajwa dates (Phoenix dactylifera) have a high flavonoid content; hence, this study aimed to investigate their effect on streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus mice by examining the number of beta cells and the islets of Langerhans.
Methods: Twenty-five mice were divided into five groups: a negative control group (K1), a positive control group (K2), and three treatment groups (P1, P2, and P3). The K2, P1, P2, and P3 groups were induced by 100 mg/kg bw of streptozotocin. Additionally, the P1, P2, and P3 groups received oral treatment using ajwa date methanol extract at different doses of 3, 5, and 7 g/kg bw, respectively. The treatment was administered daily for four weeks. The initial analysis included the homogeneity test and the Shapiro-Wilk test. As the data were non-normally distributed, the analysis proceeded with the Kruskal-Wallis test (p<0.05).
Results: The comparative analysis revealed significant differences in the number of beta cells among the groups, with a notable decrease observed in the K2 group and an increase in each treatment group. The measurement of the islets of Langerhans exhibited significant differences among the groups, with p=0.001. 
Conclusion: The administration of ajwa date methanol extract can affect the number of beta cells and the islets of Langerhans in mice with diabetes mellitus.
 
Highlights:

This original study examined the antioxidant compounds derived from naturally sourced ajwa date (Phoenix dactylifera) extract.
Ajwa date extract has the potential to protect against histological damage, specifically to beta cells and pancreatic islets, in mice induced by streptozotocin.
Serum Serotonin Levels and the Severity Scores and Types of Delirium among Geriatric Patients in Denpasar, Indonesia
Authors: Kusnawan I Made Dedy , Astika Nyoman , Kurniawan Lely Setyawati , Aryana I Gusti Putu Suka
Published: September 2024

Background: Delirium is an acute attention disorder that often occurs in elderly patients. The serotoninergic pathway is the main neurotransmitter pathway involved in the development of delirium. Serotonin, known as 5-hydroxythyramine (5-HT), affects mood, aggressiveness, cognition, depression, pressure, and stress in the brain environment. This may lead to the formation of hypoactive, hyperactive, or mixed delirium processes. This study utilized laboratory data with the aim of investigating whether serotonin levels have a correlation with severity score and delirium type in elderly individuals who experience delirium during hospitalization.
Methods: This study was conducted in the field of geriatrics at Prof. Dr. IGNG Ngoerah Central General Hospital, Denpasar, Indonesia, from April 2022 to October 2023. The sample was gathered consecutively, consisting of 62 hospitalized geriatric patients who suffered from delirium and were willing to participate by signing an informed consent. We excluded post-surgical patients and psychoactive drug users. The data were collected using the Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale (MDAS), the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), and a serum serotonin test. This study used bivariate analysis, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman’s correlation (p<0.05).
Results: A total sample of 62 individuals was required. There was a significant difference in the mean serotonin levels among different types of delirium (p<0.05). Out of all the documented cases, hypoactive delirium was the most frequently observed (64.5%). Most of the elderly patients experienced severe delirium (54.8%). Serotonin levels had a significantly negative correlation with the MDAS scores (r=-0.95; p<0.001).
Conclusion: The research findings indicate a correlation between lower serotonin levels and higher MDAS scores, and vice versa.
 
Highlights:

This study attempted to determine the relationship between serum serotonin levels and delirium severity scores among geriatric patients in Indonesia. 
There was a significant difference in the mean serotonin levels among elderly individuals with hypoactive, hyperactive, and mixed types of delirium.

Published: September 2024

Background: The global prevalence of dyspeptic syndrome among adults was estimated to be 1.8–57% in 2014, with an average of 20.8%. In a pilot survey involving 30 respondents, we found 21 acute respiratory infections, 16 dyspeptic syndromes, and 6 hypertension cases. Smoking was observed in 70% of the total respondents. This was the basis for conducting additional research in 2022 to examine the relationship between dyspepsia, smoking behaviors, and dietary patterns among adults in Krajan Hamlet, Malang, Indonesia.
Methods: This quantitative study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 70 adults aged 18–65, selected by random sampling. The collected data were analyzed using the Chi-squared test (p<0.05).
Results: The prevalence rate for dyspepsia was 44.3%. Among them, 67.1% were smokers (both frequent and non-frequent), and 32.9% were non-smokers (including former and passive). The active smokers had a smoking duration of >2 years and smoked >10 cigarettes daily. A total of 11.4% of subjects exhibited eating habits of consuming trigger foods that put them at a high risk for dyspepsia. Specifically, 42.0% of subjects had an eating interval of >6 hours, while 87.1% had a meal frequency that led to a high risk of developing dyspepsia. There was a significant relationship between a high-risk diet and dyspeptic syndrome (p=0.037).
Conclusion: High-risk diets exhibited a relationship with the prevalence of dyspeptic syndrome. Early detection is crucial in an effort to prevent and reduce the incidence and complications of dyspeptic syndrome.
 
Highlights:

This study investigated the relationship between dyspepsia, smoking behaviors, and dietary patterns, which are often overlooked, particularly among those living in rural areas.
The findings of this study are anticipated to raise awareness regarding the detrimental impacts of smoking and unhealthy diets on dyspepsia.
Neural mechanisms underlying upright bipedal gait: role of cortico-brainstem-spinal pathways involved in posture-gait control
Authors: Takakusaki Kaoru , Takahashi Mirai , Kaminishi Kohei , Fukuyama Shusei , Noguchi Tomohiro , Chiba Ryosuke , Ota Jun
Published: September 2024

Bipedal gait involves moving the body while maintaining an upright posture under gravity. Throughout vertebrate evolution and postnatal development, humans acquired antigravity functions that allow one to achieve biped gait. While walking, our attention is focused on purposeful, intentional movements such as dexterous arm-hand finger movements or searching for the target. On the other hand, postural control comes to our awareness only when we need to alter gait patterns, such as facing demanding conditions. Nonetheless, our body and brain control gait so as not to fall by anticipatorily adjusting posture that optimally achieves multi-tasks consisting of purposeful movements and walking. Accordingly, we have developed the working hypothesis that postural control is achieved by plans and programs that accomplish purposeful actions. Key questions to verify this hypothesis are (1) how higher brain functions brought about by evolution enabled us to acquire a bipedal standing posture that resists gravity and (2) how the frontal cortex, the most developed neocortical area, enabled us to acquire multi-tasks consisting of gait and intentional movements. We postulate that the frontoparietal networks that contribute to planning and programming based on cognitive information and corticofugal pathways that issue command signals to the subcortical structures, particularly the brainstem and spinal cord in which core systems of posture and gait control exist, play central roles in solving these questions. These mechanisms may be declined in older adults and impaired in patients with degenerative neurological disorders, resulting in posture-gait disturbance such as freezing of gait (FOG) and falling.

Practices of the formation of historical consciousness in the veteran and student social movement of Altai Krai in the 1960s–1980s
Authors: Shcheglova T.K.
Published: September 2024

In the paper, an analysis is carried out on the commemorative practices of the formation of historical con-sciousness on the basis of studying and constructing memory about the Russian Civil War in Altai Krai (south of Western Siberia). The separation of the periods of the 1960s and 1970s–1980s is determined by the succession of generations. The sources of the research comprised the materials from the central (the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History, the State Archive of the Russian Federation) and regional state archives of Novosibirsk Oblast and Altai Krai, and holdings of the museum of the Barnaul Civil Engineering College and author's field materials. As theoretic-conceptual approaches, the biographical method was used, which allowed it to reveal the traits of the Soviet man as a construct of the Soviet era, and the principle of regionalism for the analysis of anthropological aspects in par-ticular socio-cultural conditions. In the research, the conceptual framework of the scientific field of ‘anthropology of memory’ was employed: social, historic and cultural memory, communications, and commemorations. The comparison of the social practices shows that at the first stage, owing to the veteran cause, military-revolutionary events were se-lected for the formation of historical consciousness. Another aspect of work was popularisation of the partisan move-ment through communicative channels: meetings, gala evenings, interviews, public rallies, and other collective forms of communication with rural community, youth and government. A comparison of the work of ‘fathers’ and ‘sons’ showed that the succession manifested in the strive to eternalise and popularise memory of the heroes of the Russian Civil War; translation of military-revolutionary events from social memory into cultural memory in the form of monuments and me-morial places became a new tendency in the work on perpetuating the memory.
Weaponry of the upper Taz River Selkups according to metallographic studies (based on mate-rials from the Kikki-Akki burial ground)
Authors: Zinyakov N.M. , Poshekhonova O.E.
Published: September 2024

The paper presents the analysis of the weaponry items (108 arrowheads, 2 spearheads, and 2 glaive heads) recovered from the 17th–19th cc. burial ground of Kikki-Akki (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Taz River) of the Upper Taz Selkups, aiming at the reconstruction of the technology of their production. With the aid of the methods of metallographic analysis, it has been established that the production of ferrous metal weapons was carried out by professional craftsmen. As raw materials, blacksmiths used malleable blooms, without special additional proc-essing, consisting of unevenly carbonized steel and, less often, of iron or a mixture of both. Operations of smith forging of hot metal constituted the basis of the technology for the production of weapons. While doing so, the main attention was paid to finishing the external forms of the products, without using complex technological schemes. The production process, as a rule, was taking place at an optimal heating temperature. In general, weapons, although being not of a high quality, complied with technical specifications for their use.

MULTIMODAL CONCEPTUALIZATION OF IMMERSIVE VISUAL ART: DISCOURSE SCHEMAS IN SPEECH, GESTURE AND GAZE
Authors:   Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Potekhin V.O. , Kiose M.I. ,   Moscow State Linguistic University
Published: September 2024

This study addresses the problem of multimodal thinking of an individual exposed to immersive visual art that stimulates one’s transformation from an observer into a participant in the stimulus situation. To proceed, we conduct an experiment which tests a subject’s multimodal behavior at the stage with stimulus exposure (via one’s speech, gesture, and gaze) and immediately after the viewing experience (via one’s speech and gesture). This paper aims to establish the contingency of immersive environment upon the subject’s multimodal behavior at both stages. We hypothesize that the exposure regime of the immersive art stimulus (at the while and after viewing stages) modulates discourse schemas distribution in the subject’s speech synchronized with functional gestures. Additionally, we assume that discourse schemas distribution modulates gaze behavior at the while viewing stage. 44 individual probes are subjected to analysis and further examined in terms of discourse schemas in speech, gesture, and gaze measures. The results attest to significant variance in gestural activity with representational, deictic, and pragmatic gesture types prevailing at the after viewing stage; this stage was also found to warrant more descriptive discourse schemas in speech. We also established the contingency of discourse schemas use on the subject’s gaze measures which is manifest in more focal gaze movements when relating narration and description and in more ambient gaze movements when relating exposition. The study offers a contribution to advancing cognitive theories of multimodal thinking as modulated by communicative environment.
COGNITIVE BASIS OF CONFLICT-FREE LANGUAGE COMMUNICATION
Authors:   Derzhavin Tambov State University, Boldyrev N.N.
Published: September 2024

The article explores conflict-free language communication from the perspective of a cognitive approach in linguistic research. The cognitive approach studies corelations between cognitive and language structures and the way this relationship affects meaning and function of units of language. Within this framework the author terms speech conflicts as individual world and world knowledge misinterpretations directly connected with the cognitive processes of conceptualization and categorization. Considering it strictly within the linguistic context the author accordingly posits a conflict-free communication as normal communication, excluding contradictory, ambiguous functional interpretation of language unit semantics, as well as undesirable implications and inferences evoked by hearer’s processing the information received in linguistic form. Analyzing linguistic data derived from various forms and types of real oral or written speech the author outlines main factors of a conceptual and linguistic nature that ensure conflict-free communication, as well as linguistic means of predicting and neutralizing conflict speech situations. As a result, the author concludes that all these factors as well as knowledge of norms of both conceptual and linguistic interaction between the communication participants form up a cognitive basis for their conflict-free language communication.

Published: September 2024

As the demand for long-distance flights continues to increase, supersonic transport (SST) has once again become a hot research topic. However, due to its uniqueness, there was few corresponding evaluation methods to compare the supersonic civil aircraft with common subsonic aircraft. This paper proposed an evaluation method for the competitiveness of supersonic civil aircraft based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Key indicators were selected to form a competitiveness evaluation model from the perspective of four criterion factors of economy, comfort, adaptability, and environment. The evaluation method proposed in this paper could reflect characteristics of supersonic civil aircraft and other subsonic aircraft, and effectively compare their competitiveness. This work can be used to evaluate the social acceptance of supersonic civil aircraft and provide reliable decision-making support for airlines' design work.

Published: September 2024

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis is a pivotal tool in non-invasive diagnostics, including cancer monitoring and prenatal testing. However, the preanalytical phase, particularly the choice of anticoagulant, significantly impacts cfDNA integrity and yield. This study aims to compare cfDNA yield, stability, and DNase activity across plasma-citrate, plasma-heparin, plasma-EDTA, and serum, to identify the most suitable specimen for cfDNA analysis among the tested anticoagulants. Blood samples from 15 healthy volunteers were collected in four types of tubes (citrate, heparin, EDTA, and serum). cfDNA was extracted and quantified using qPCR, and endogenous DNase activity was assessed through hydrolysis probe assays. Samples were incubated at 37°C for 24 hours to evaluate cfDNA degradation rates. Statistical analyses were performed using repeated measures ANOVA and Sidak's multiple comparison tests. Baseline cfDNA levels were highest in serum, followed by heparin-plasma, while EDTA and citrate-plasma exhibited the lowest levels. DNase activity was fully inhibited in EDTA-plasma, partially inhibited in citrate-plasma, and active in both heparin-plasma and serum. cfDNA degradation was most pronounced in heparin-plasma (85.3%) and serum (55.6%), compared to minimal degradation in EDTA (8%) and citrate-plasma (13.3%). Among the tested anticoagulants, EDTA-plasma proved to be the most suitable specimen for cfDNA analysis due to its low DNase activity and minimal gDNA contamination. Citrate-plasma, with intermediate DNase inhibition, could be an alternative if the citrate concentration were increased. Heparin-plasma and serum showed significant cfDNA degradation, rendering them unsuitable for cfDNA analysis. These findings highlight the importance of anticoagulant selection in preserving cfDNA integrity for diagnostic applications.

Published: September 2024

Understanding the relationship between sugar yield and related traits is crucial for successfully breeding this important industrial crop. Thirteen sugar beet monogram cultivars were evaluated during 2018-2019. The study used a split-factorial design with two planting dates as the main plot, while cultivars and harvesting dates were laid out as CRBD as subplots. Significant differences were observed among the cultivars for all measured traits. The genetic correlation coefficients showed the highest positive and significant correlations between sugar yield and white sugar yield (WSY) (0.88**), sugar content (SC) (0.71**), and white sugar content (0.65**). Conversely, the highest negative and significant correlations were found between sugar yield and molasses sugar content (-0.62**), alkalinity coefficient (-0.58**), and root potassium content (-0.52**). In the stepwise multiple regression analysis, white sugar content (WSC), sugar content (SC), root α-amino nitrogen content, and root yield were included in the regression model, explaining 84% of the total variance in the sugar yield. Path analysis revealed that sugar content (1.12) and root yield (1.03) had the highest direct effects on sugar yield. These traits can be used as key criteria for developing superior hybrids with high economic productivity, thereby accelerating the selection process in various breeding programs.
Regulation Practice and Prospect of Privacy Protection of Data Flows in China
Authors: Yang Liping , Lin Yiling , Chen Bing
Published: September 2024

Privacy protection is a fundamental guarantee for secure data flows and serve as a basic requirement for data security. A reasonable privacy protection system acts as a catalyst for unlocking the financial value of data. The current legislative framework for privacy protection in data flows in China, adhering to the principle of proportionality, establishes the “informed-consent” rule for data collection and processing, data classification and grading management measures, and remedies for data leakage and other risks. In addition, in judicial practice, typical disputes regarding personal information protection and privacy rights have promoted to clarify the scope of collecting user personal information and biometric data. Despite ongoing improvements needed in legislative, judicial and technical approaches to data privacy protection, China’s commitment and practice in privacy protection of data flows are noteworthy. The existing legislation, law enforcement and technical practices are playing an increasingly vital role in realizing the financial value of data and are essential for international cooperation on data privacy protection.

Published: September 2024

In this paper, we present the application of a special soil resistivity model, the Exponentially Graded Multilayered Soil model, to the interpretation of Borehole Resistivity Logging surveys. The model, which was recently introduced by the authors, offers an alternative to the interpretation provided by constant resistivity layer models. The model is applied to synthetic soil surveys as well as to a real survey that is not satisfactorily interpreted using conventional models.

Deep Reinforcement Learning has achieved state-of-the-art results in the field of autonomous driving, especially in video game simulations. Trained agents were able to beat the best players achieving supremacy in the field. However, these agents often take in their neural network input the geometry of the track during the learning process. Our approach is to create a learning procedure for autonomous driving agents that is not environment-dependent by design to extend Deep Reinforcement Learning to racing games without racetrack information. Our work builds upon the notorious game Trackmania Nations United Forever, an open access 3D realistic Formula 1 simulation game that offers a high degree of customization. We use the Proximal Policy Optimization algorithm, using hybrid raw pixel data and physics sensors vectors as agent observations. The training track is a custom-made circuit carefully crafted from all available blocks in the game. The training track is considered like a standard dataset in machine learning and thus split in several segments in which the agent is randomly put into. We also created two regularization reward functions for the car’s speed and position to increase robustness of the agent in new scenarios.

The advent of modern satellite technology has transformed observational astronomy and astrophysics, offering unprecedented insights into the large-scale behavior of gravitation and challenging established cosmological models. This technological progress has reinvigorated the study of relativistic cosmology, leading to a critical reassessment of foundational assumptions, particularly the cosmological principle, which posits that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales. While this principle underpins the Standard Cosmological Model and the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker metric, emerging data has increasingly been challenging its validity. Central to this investigation are the redshift-distance and light intensity-distance relations, essential for testing cosmological models. The integration of both parametric and nonparametric redshift models provides a more comprehensive analysis, addressing discrepancies in our understanding of the universe's structure and evolution. However, unresolved mysteries, particularly concerning dark matter and dark energy, complicate these models. This research critically examines the cosmological principle using the latest observational data and scrutinizes the Friedmann model's assumptions. The study shows that galaxy formation was most rapid in the early universe, especially within the redshift range of , with notable peaks around at and These two characteristic redshift values, predicted by our standard Friedmann redshift model used in this work, are confirmed by the observational data utilized in this research. The research also highlights that dark matter plays a significantly more critical role than dark energy in the process of galaxy formation. While dark energy primarily affects the large-scale expansion of the universe, dark matter seems to go beyond the domination of local galaxy formation and evolution of cosmic structures. These findings underscore the limitations of current models and contribute to the ongoing refinement of cosmological theories, offering a clearer understanding of the universe’s evolution.
