Published: November 2024

Background. Obesity in children not only affects physical health but can also have an impact on mental health. Efforts that can be made to improve nutrition are by conducting nutrition education. Elementary school students are the best target in conducting nutrition education. In conducting nutrition education, interesting media are needed to attract students. Knowing the effect of nutrition education using PAPI GIZI media on balanced nutrition knowledge in elementary school children.
Methods. This research is a Quasi Experiment research with pre test post test with control group design. This research was conducted on March 2023. The research locations were at SDN Perumnas Condongcatur (counseling using PAPI GIZI media) and SDN Babarsari (counseling using leaflet media), grade V for 52 students were selected. Statistical test data Saphiro Wilk, Wilcoxon Test, Mann Whitney.
Result.The results showed that there was a significant influence by using PAPI GIZI media on knowledge about balanced nutrition (p = 0.000) and leaflet media on knowledge about balanced nutrition (p=0.001). There was a significant difference in the difference in knowledge scores on balanced nutrition in the  PAPI GIZI group and leaflets (p = 0.002). The results showed that PAPI GIZI media and leaflets had an effect on increasing students' knowledge about balanced nutrition.
Conclusion. PAPI GIZI media has a higher level of effectiveness compared to leaflet media in increasing knowledge about balanced nutrition in elementary school students.

Por lo tanto, estas páginas se vuelcan a explorar los posibles roles y contribuciones de la literatura, la música y la fotografía hacia una conciencia socioambiental.
Theism, Pro-Theism, Hasker, and Gratuitous Evil
Authors: Kraay Klaas J.
Published: November 2024

Consider this claim:

(1) If God exists, no gratuitous evil occurs.

This claim enjoys widespread assent in contemporary analytic philosophy of religion. It could be harnessed into an argument for pro-theism: it certainly looks like a reason for thinking that God’s existence would make the world better than it would otherwise be, at least if there is an appropriate causal connection between the antecedent and the consequent. But (1) is also the first premise of a widely discussed argument for atheism that continues as follows:

(2) Gratuitous evil occurs.

Therefore,

(3) God does not exist.

In recent decades, much of the debate about this argument (and probabilistic variants of it) has concerned the claim expressed in premise (2). Critics of this claim have defended accounts of our epistemic circumstances and capacities according to which this premise cannot reasonably be asserted. This controversial position has become known as skeptical theism, and it has generated a large and very technical literature.

A few authors, however, have attempted to resist (1). One such strategy is developed in a series of important publications by William Hasker (1992, 2004b, 2008). If Hasker’s argument were to succeed, this would be an important result for the overall debate about whether God exists, since it would count against a prominent kind of argument for atheism. While Hasker does not explicitly consider the question of the axiological consequences of God’s existence, his argument, if sound, would also be an important result for this debate, since it would count against one line of apparent support for pro-theism.

In section 2, I discuss certain restrictions on God’s permission of evil in order to illuminate claim (1), and in section 3, I set out Hasker’s case against it. In section 4, I clarify an important point about Hasker’s argument: I show that it does not require Hasker to maintain that God’s plan for creation requires the actual occurrence of gratuitous evil. In section 5, I set out and evaluate four criticisms of Hasker’s argument. Finally, in an Appendix, I consider the merits of a successor argument for atheism – one that is compatible with Hasker’s view.
Can God Satisfice?
Authors: Kraay Klaas J.
Published: November 2024

Three very prominent arguments for atheism are (1) the argument from sub-optimality, (2) the problem of no best world, and (3) the evidential argument from gratuitous evil. To date, it has not sufficiently been appreciated that several important criticisms of these arguments have all relied on a shared strategy. Although the details vary, the core of this strategy is to concede that God either cannot or need not achieve the best outcome in the relevant choice situation, but to insist that God must and can achieve an outcome that is good enough. In short, this strategy invokes divine satisficing in response to these arguments for atheism. (The widespread use of this strategy may have gone unnoticed because the appeal to divine satisficing is usually implicit.) In sections 1-3, the three arguments for atheism will be set out, and it will be shown that the relevant replies all employ this shared strategy. Section 4 will show that those who invoke divine satisficing have failed to establish that this is a coherent notion. Accordingly, these replies to three important arguments for atheism are, at present, incomplete.
On preferring God's non-existence
Authors: Kraay Klaas J. , Dragos Chris
Published: November 2024

For many centuries, philosophers have debated this question: ‘Does God exist?’ Surprisingly, they have paid rather less attention to this distinct – but also very important – question: ‘Would God's existence be a good thing?’ The latter is an axiological question about the difference in value that God's existence would make (or does make) in the actual world. Perhaps the most natural position to take, whether or not one believes in God, is to hold that it would be a very good thing if such a being were to exist. After all, God is traditionally thought to be perfectly powerful and good, and it might seem obvious that such a being's existence would make things better than they would otherwise be. But this judgment has been contested: some philosophers have held that God's existence would make things worse, and that, on this basis, one can reasonably prefer God's non-existence. We first distinguish a wide array of axiological positions concerning the value of God's existence which might be held by theists, atheists, and agnostics alike. We next construe these positions as comparative judgments about the axiological status of various possible worlds. We then criticize an important recent attempt to show that God's existence would make things worse, in various ways, than they would otherwise be.
Megill’s multiverse meta-argument
Authors: Kraay Klaas J.
Published: November 2024

In a recent paper in this journal, Jason Megill (2011) offers an innovative meta-argument which deploys considerations about multiple universes in an effort to block all arguments from evil. In what follows, I contend that Megill has failed to establish a key premise in his metaargument. I also offer a rival account of the effect of multiverse models on the debate about evil.
Contemporary Analytic Thought: 1950–Present
Authors: Kraay Klaas J.
Published: November 2024

This article surveys the area of philosophy known as analytic philosophy of religion. This area emerged in the 1950s in the English-speaking philosophical world, and has grown considerably. Section 1 outlines its origins and characteristics. Section 2 lists venues in which this work appears, and recommends other survey-style resources. Section 3 discusses central topics in this area, including the divine attributes, arguments about the (non)existence of God, the epistemology of religious belief and experience, miracles, the meaning of life, life after death, and heaven and hell. Section 4 introduces two contemporary developments: a movement called ‘analytic theology’, and increasing philosophical reflection on nontraditional versions of theism and other religious worldviews. Section 5 discusses two important criticisms of this area: one holds that the range of topics it considers is too narrow, and the other holds that the standpoints its practitioners hold, and the methods they use, are limited and limiting.
Introduction to God and the Multiverse: Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Perspectives
Authors: Kraay Klaas J.
Published: November 2024

In recent decades, scientific theories have postulated the existence of many universes beyond our own. The details and implications of these theories are hotly contested. Some philosophers argue that these scientific models count against the existence of God. Others, however, argue that if God exists, a multiverse is precisely what we should expect to find. Moreover, these philosophers claim that the idea of a divinely created multiverse can help believers in God respond to certain arguments for atheism. These proposals are, of course, also extremely controversial. This volume collects together twelve newly published essays – two by physicists, and ten by philosophers – that discuss various aspects of this issue. Some of the essays support the idea of a divinely created multiverse; others oppose it. Scientific, philosophical, and theological issues are considered.
Corporate Environmental Disclosure in India: An Analysis of Multinational and Domestic Agrochemical Corporations
Authors: Jessop Anna , Wilson Nicole , Bardecki Michal , Searcy Cory
Published: November 2024

 The existing corporate environmental disclosure (CED) research focuses primarily on large companies operating in a single jurisdiction, leaving a gap of knowledge regarding the subsidiary operations of multinational corporations. In this study, consolidated narrative interrogation (CONI) is used to quantify CEDs presented in annual and stand-alone sustainability reports published over a 15-year span between 2002 and 2016 by agrochemical companies operating in India. Results show that the diversity, the quantity, and the quality of CED vary significantly, but generally each of them has been improving over time—most notably following the revisions to the Companies Act in 2013. The study finds that the subsidiaries of multinational agrochemical corporations implemented CED practices more strongly associated with those of domestic companies than those found in the reports produced by their parent companies. The CED of both subsidiary and domestic companies appears to reflect concerns of local legitimacy.
Statelessness as a Product of Slippery Statecraft: A Global Governance View of Current Causes, Actors, and Debates
Authors: Petrozziello Allison
Published: November 2024

 

Statelessness has been described as the result of unintentional gaps between citizenship policies excluding individuals who move, form relationships and reproduce across international borders. But what if the rise in statelessness is not a technicality, but a strategy of slippery statecraft meant to design the citizenry a given state is willing to protect? This paper places statelessness within the context of neoliberal globalisation and international migration and provides a critical global governance view of contemporary causes of statelessness, key actors working on it and their framing of the issue within global governance frameworks. I argue that the dominant framing of statelessness as a technical issue obviates the politics behind statelessness as slippery statecraft, leading proposed solutions to fall short. Critical research may help advocates make the case for inclusion, appealing to broader state interests and networks, without abandoning attendant human rights obligations.
Sustainable Transportation for the Climate: How Do Transportation Firms Engage in Cooperative Public-Private Partnerships?
Authors: de Lange Deborah E.
Published: November 2024

 

This research examines the effectiveness of transportation-sector public-private partnerships (PPPs). Coordination across sectors is needed to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. PPPs are of interest to transportation firms, but they may prefer private-sector opportunities given that working with the public sector can present challenges. However, the challenges are not clear and, therefore, this needs research investigation to develop understandings for policy to make PPPs work better for firms. Moreover, this research informs firms so that they may better comprehend and manage the risks of PPPs or choose other opportunities. This empirical research uses a sample of 300 transportation firms across 28 countries. The findings suggest that, although government contracts may be lucrative, the institutional environment of the PPP context is not preferable to other business-oriented private-sector opportunities. If more sustainable transportation is to be constructed to address climate change and other public interests, policymakers may need to rethink PPPs to adapt to the needs of transportation firms.

 
Sustaining Sustainability in Organizations
Authors: de Lange Deborah E. , Busch Timo , Delgado-Ceballos Javier
Published: November 2024

[para. 1]: " The importance of social issues and the natural environment to societies and firms has dramatically evolved in the preceding 50 years. Corporate managers are becoming aware of the need to broaden their goals, beyond the traditional financial expectations. Since the term sustainability has entered the business world, an ever increasing number of firms realize the importance of sustainability and emphasize the social and environmental goals of their organizations (Bansal 2005; Hoffman 1999; GRI 2011). How seriously are these goals considered in corporate strategy? Is sustainability a trendy buzzword without any substantial meaning for operational processes? Or, can we observe tangible improvements in corporate social and environmental performance over time? These and related questions lead to an overarching question: How can sustainability be sustained in organizations? "
Partnerships for Smart City Retrofits: The Case of Toronto’s Quayside
Authors: de Lange Deborah E.
Published: November 2024

[introduction]: "This chapter focuses on the governance of city change including the integration of high technology into city systems, illustrated with a case study at Toronto’s Harbourfront. Many agree that it is at the city level, rather than at regional or national levels, where we will see the greatest progress on climate change mitigation and adaptation, for a variety of reasons (Hughes 2017). A UNEP estimate is that cities may spend approximately US$41 trillion by 2030 on new water, energy, and transportation infrastructure to accommodate growing populations (UNEP 2013). These impending investments in smart sustainable changes are in accordance with an urgent requirement to address the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), for example, Goal #11 Sustainable Cities and Communities and Goal #13 Climate Action. Making city systems smarter through technology enables higher levels of sustainability overall and thereby addresses most of the UN SDGs, either directly or indirectly."

Published: November 2024

The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) through the Biak Numfor Regency Fisheries Service, is developing Samber-Binyeri Village, as a pilot fishing village in Papua to enhance the economy. A number of issues and factors, including inadequate fishing equipment, infrastructure, availability of fuel, and a lack of knowledge and skills on fishing technology and practice, have contributed to the low income and productivity of traditional fishermen. Furthermore, poor health facilities and coastal waste management make the villages unhygienic to live in, messy, and unattractive for visitors and tourists. However, implementing new policies and management practices requires a proper understanding of current practice, culture, and its impact on its ecosystem, should the change be made. Therefore, it requires proficient teams to evaluate the current model and develop a new model that yields exemplary outcomes aligned with the objectives at minimum risk. For this reason, equipping the KKP team with knowledge related to system thinking and system dynamics is very important. A four-day' workshop in system thinking and system dynamics has been carried out in Bandung in two stages: stage one, a basic understanding of system thinking and system dynamics, and stage two, modeling optimization using Vensim software. The output of this workshop programs is:  to define problems and dynamic hypotheses in each field or section as a basis for Sustainable development of Kampung Nelayan Maju

Published: November 2024

The use of LEDs in fishing operations has been increasing due to the reduction of fuel consumption and fuel can be replaced by the renewable energy sources, for example solar and seawater energy, which is easy to obtain, cheap, and does not produce waste that harms the environment. The objective of this community development is to test the newly designed smart lamp powered by seawater, and to disseminate the concept of cooperation. The methods used were assistance and coaching in the implementation of the smart lamp and seminars on cooperative concepts. The seawater battery lamp showed stable performance in the voltage range of 2.5 V - 4.5 V within 2 hours of fishing operation. the results of SONAR observations showed that fish began to approach under 10 minutes and gathered at 45 minutes with depths ranging from 1-4 meters. The lamp powered by the fuel oil powered generator is significantly brighter than the lamp powered by saltwater batteries. Some recommendation arises including the necessity for an alternative to zinc as a durable electrode, reduced tool size dimensions, a rust-resistant wire system, fewer cells in one battery unit, brighter lighting, and a more compact tool form design. The catches from both locations are also quite similar, including squid, cuttlefish, crab, and anchovies. The dissemination concept of cooperative social entrepreneurship, were effective shown by the score of intention after the seminar which is increased by 40%. It was recommended to accelerate the establishment of cooperatives to improve the level of living. This community development activities are considered very useful and fishermen in Palabuhan Ratu and Karang antu Serang.

Authors: Issafi Hamid , Abdeghanie Ennam
Published: November 2024

The main aim of this study is analyse how culture-specific items (henceforth CSIs), metaphors and idioms are translated from English into Arabic. The corpus of this study subsumes Laila Lamai’s The Moor’s Account and its Arabic version Ma Rawahu Al Maghribi "مارواه المغربي"  translated by Nouf Al-Maymouni. Methodologically speaking, this study is based on a bunch of theories, namely Postcolonial Theory, Derrida’s deconstruction, and Hans Vermeer and Katharina Reiss’s Skopos Theory. In analysing thus novel, Document analysis Protocol is followed (see Appendix). It entails extracting CSIs from the source text and the target text and classifying them in an inventory according to Peter Newmark’s cultural categories. Eirlys Davies’ (2003) taxonomy for the translation of CSIs is applied so as to identify the micro-strategies that were adopted by the translator. Idioms and metaphors are also classified in an inventory and Mona Baker’s (2018) taxonomy for the translation of idioms is applied.  Lawrence Venuti’s macro-strategies of foreignization and domestication are applied as well.

The Role of Using P-BT (Process-based Technique) on Teaching Reading Skill in Iraqi Primary Schools
Authors: Mohammed Adyan
Published: November 2024

This study intends to explore the role of process-based techniques in teaching reading to the 5th grade primary school learners. This technique aims to teach pupils the appropriate strategies for identifying different kinds of texts depending on the interaction between the information presented in the text and pupils’ background knowledge. To achieve the aims of the present study, the hypothesis proposes that there is no statistically significant difference in the performance of pupils who are taught by the Process-based Technique and those who are taught by the traditional teaching technique. To fulfill the aim of the study, an experiment was designed where two groups, each of 135 pupils, were randomly chosen from the 5th grade primary school. One group was assigned as the control group, while the other functioned as the experimental group, with both groups matched in age, parental education level, and prior achievement in English based on previous exam results. The scores obtained in the experiment were tested statistically, and it was seen that the experimental group achieved higher than the control group. A T-test formula was conducted for the independent samples. The obtained “t” value displayed the significant difference between the two groups, and more especially, the experimental group, instructed using the Process-Based Technique, outperformed the control group, which followed the conventional method. Consequently, the null hypothesis was rejected.
New Dosage Form of Insulin: Review Article
Authors: Ali Saeed Owayez  , Saddam Sahib Atshan  , Omar Saeb Salih  , Alkufi Hussein
Published: November 2024

Many patients with advanced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and all patients with T1DM require insulin to keep blood glucose levels in the target range. The most common route of insulin administration is subcutaneous insulin injections. There are many ways to deliver insulin subcutaneously, such as vials and syringes, insulin pens, and insulin pumps. Though subcutaneous insulin delivery is the standard route of insulin administration, it is associated with injection pain, needle phobia, lipodystrophy, noncompliance, and peripheral hyperinsulinemia. Therefore, the need exists to deliver insulin in a minimally invasive or noninvasive way and in the most physiological way. Inhaled insulin was the first approved noninvasive and alternative way to deliver glucose, but it has been withdrawn from the market. Researchers are exploring technologies to enable noninvasive insulin delivery. Some of the routes for insulin administration that are under investigation are oral, buccal, nasal, peritoneal, and transdermal. This article has focused on different possible routes of insulin administration, their advantages and limitations, and the possible scope of the new drug development.

Published: November 2024

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, non-specific inflammatory disease of the intestine with an unknown etiology. The primary clinical manifestations include recurrent abdominal pain, diarrhea, mucus and purulent discharge, bloody stools, and tenesmus. Experts generally agree that the onset of this disease is primarily associated with factors such as intestinal flora, dietary composition, genetics, immunity, infections, and systemic inflammation. The intestinal flora constitutes the largest microecological system within the human body, consisting of a vast array of microorganisms that interact dynamically with the immune cells located in the intestinal wall. This interaction is crucial for maintaining a balance with the intestinal mucosa. The intestinal flora plays a significant role in the development of the immune system, sustaining normal immune function, and cooperatively countering the invasion of pathogenic bacteria. Alterations in the composition of the intestinal flora can influence the equilibrium between intestinal tolerance and immunity. Research has demonstrated that the disease process in UC patients is closely linked to disturbances in the structure of the intestinal bacterial flora，and symptoms can be significantly alleviated following the transplantation of normal flora. Therefore,Modulating the structure of the intestinal microbiota may serve as an effective strategy for treating ulcerative colitis (UC). This article examines the relationship between intestinal flora and intestinal wall immunity in the context of UC, while also exploring novel approaches for its treatment.

MOTIVASI DARI KELUARGA DENGAN MINAT IBU MEMBERIKAN MPASI DINI AGAR TIDAK MENGHAMBAT TUMBUH KEMBANG BAYI
Authors: Handianingsih Ratih Tri Wahyu
Published: November 2024

One of the causes of nutritional problems in toddlers is the practice of early complementary feeding (MPASI). MPASI is additional food given to babies after the age of six months until the baby is 24 months old. Babies are ready to eat solid foods, both in growth and psychologically at the age of 6-9 months. So the role of the family is needed to prevent early complementary feeding. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between family support and mothers' interest in giving early complementary foods in Kedung Galeng Village, Probolinggo City. This study used a correlational analysis design with a cross sectional approach. The sample data is a portion of families who have babies aged 0-6 months in the Kedung Galeng area in January 2022, a total of 71 families using a purposive random sampling technique. Data collection included coding, editing, and tabulating. Then the data were analyzed by computer with the Spearman test p value: 0.05. The results showed that 32 respondents (45.1%) gave high family support for Early MPASI, 36 respondents (50.7%) gave Early MPASI and p value: 0.000. The conclusion of the study is that there is a relationship between family support and the mother's interest in giving early complementary foods at Kedung Galeng (p = 0.000 <0.05). The suggestions put forward are that it is expected that midwives will improve counseling/education regarding exclusive breastfeeding and month-to-month complementary foods both in practice locations by making a commitment not to work with milk products for pregnant women, etc
PENGARUH PEMBERIAN KOMPRES HANGAT PADA PUNGUNG BAWAH IBU INPARTU KALA 1 FASE AKTIF TERHADAP TINGKAT NYERI DI RUANG BERSALIN RUMAH SAKIT ISLAM JOMBANG
Authors: Mochamad Farip Siti Junaidah
Published: November 2024

There are two methods of dealing with labor pain, namely medical and non-medical. One of the non-medical actions is the provision of warm compresses given to the lower back area. Giving warm compresses can improve blood circulation, provide a feeling of warmth, prevent muscle spasms and reduce pain. This research is based on the results of observations made at the Jombang Islamic Hospital that the methods used to treat pain in laboring mothers are back massage and providing emotional support, while warm compresses have never been applied. This study aims to determine the effect of warm compresses on the level of active phase I labor pain in the Delivery Room of Jombang Islamic Hospital in 2023.                   
The design of this study used the Quasi Experiment method (pseudo-experiment), with a one group pretest posttest design. The sample of this study was 15 women giving birth normally at the Jombang Islamic Hospital in July 2023.
The results of the study were that most (66.7%) of respondents had severe pain before being given warm compresses and almost all (80%) of respondents had moderate pain levels after being given warm compresses. The results of the Wilcoxon statistical test obtained a p value of 0.001 (?<0.05) so it can be concluded that there is an effect of warm compresses on the level of labor pain in the Delivery Room of the Jombang Islamic Hospital.
Provision of warm compresses can be applied in the Delivery Room of Jombang Islamic Hospital to help reduce labor pain, provide a sense of comfort and relaxation for mothers in labor.

Production of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) is a well-known method to synthesize a large number of identical antibodies, of huge importance in medicine. In thus context, huge efforts have been spent to maximize the mAb production in industrial bioreactors by using hybridoma cell cultures. However, the optimal operation of these bioreactors is an engineering problem difficult to solve due to the highly nonlinear bioprocess dynamics, and a bioreactor involving a large number of decision (control) variables, subjected to multiple nonlinear process constraints, which often translates into a non-convex optimization problem. Based on an adequate kinetic model adopted from literature, this paper is aiming at in-silico, off-line deriving and comparing the optimal operating policies of a batch bioreactor (BR), and a fed-batch bioreactor (FBR) operated in several feeding alternatives (including substrates and the viable biomass) with using a hybridoma culture immobilized on a porous support (alginate) for mAb production. FBR with a variable time stepwise optimal feeding policy proved to reach better performances in terms of mAb production maximization with a minimal raw-material consumption.

In this study, a new dye, Neurange stain, was developed for histopathological examination of brain tissue using light microscopy. In addition, Neurange dye can be used in routine analyses and microscopic imaging of tissue sections. The synthesis of 1-(4-hydroxyphenylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione (3), a new thio-anthraquinone derivative used in the preparation of Neurange dye, began with the substitution reaction of 4-hydroxythiophenol (2) and 1-chloroanthraquinone (1) as starting materials.1 Neurange dye shows specific staining of white matter in brain tissue sections. It shows brown-orange staining in areas such as the optic nerve, the cortex in the brain tissue, and areas where axon bundles are located, and especially areas related to the myelin sheath. In conclusion, Neurange dye could be used to distinguish different brain areas using a light microscope.
