Published: March 2024

Objective:

To assess and compare the attitudes of MBBS students and interns of medical colleges in Delhi towards People with Mental Illness.

Materials and Methods:

This study was cross-sectional and conducted in Delhi from February 2023 to July 2023. The study included 120 MBBS students and 118 MBBS interns from three randomly selected medical colleges of Delhi, who are willing to participate in the study.

Results:

Students were found to have a stigmatising attitude (mean score of 44.1 ± 8.4). When comparing attitude towards mental illness amongst medical students and interns, we found that the attitude of MBBS students displayed a slightly more stigmatising attitude (mean score of 44.5 ± 7.3) compared to MBBS interns (mean score of 43.6 ± 9.3), although the difference was not statistically significant (
P
> 0.05).

Conclusion:

There is a need to enhance psychiatry education aimed at medical students and interns to provide basic information and thus demystify mental illness.

Published: March 2024

The reliability of fuel cells during testing is crucial for their development on test benches. For the development of fuel cells on test benches, it is essential to maintain their dependability during testing. It is only possible for the alarm module of the control software to identify the most serious failures because of the large operating parameter range of a fuel cell. This study presents a novel approach to monitoring fuel cell stacks during testing that relies on machine learning to ensure precise outcomes. The use of machine learning to track fuel cell operating variables can achieve improvements in performance, economy, and reliability. ML enables intelligent decision-making for efficient fuel cell operation in varied and dynamic environments through the power of data analytics and pattern recognition. Evaluating the performance of fuel cells is the first and most important step in establishing their reliability and durability. This introduces methods that track the fuel cell's performance using digital twins and clustering-based approaches to monitor the test bench's operating circumstances. The only way to detect the rate of accelerated degradation in the test scenarios is by using the digital twin LSTM-NN model that is used to evaluate fuel cell performance. The proposed methods demonstrate their ability to detect discrepancies that the state-of-the-art test bench monitoring system overlooked, using real-world test data. An automated monitoring method can be used at a testing facility to accurately track the operation of fuel cells.

Published: March 2024

With the increase in mortality rate around the world in recent years, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have swiftly become a leading cause of morbidity, and therefore there arises a need for early diagnosis of disease to ensure effective treatment. With machine learning emerging as a promising tool for the detection, this study aims to propose and compare various algorithms for the detection of CVD via several evaluation metrics including accuracy, precision, F1 score, and recall. ML has the ability and potential to improve CVD prediction, detection, and treatment by analysis of patient information and identification of patterns that may be difficult for humans to interpret and detect. Several state-of-the-art ML and DL models such as Decision Tree, XGBoost, KNN, and ANN were employed. The results of these models reflect the potential of Machine Learning in the detection of CVD detection and subsequently highlight the need for their integration into clinical practice along with the suggestion of the development of robust and accurate models to improve the predictions. This integration, however, significantly helps in the reduction of the burden of CVD on healthcare systems.

Authors: Sujatha R , K Mahalakshmi , Yoosuf Mohamed Sirajudeen
Published: March 2024

Colorectal cancer ranks as the third most common form of cancer in the United States. The Centres of Disease Control and Prevention report that males and individuals assigned male at birth (AMAB) have a slightly higher incidence of colon cancer than females and those assigned female at birth (AFAB) Black humans are more likely than other ethnic groups or races to develop colon cancer. Early detection of suspicious tissues can improve a person's life for 3-4 years. In this project, we use the EBHI-seg dataset. This study explores a technique called Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) that can be utilized for data augmentation colorectal cancer histopathology Image Segmentation. Specifically, we compare the effectiveness of two GAN models, namely the deep convolutional GAN (DC-GAN) and the Variational autoencoder GAN (VAE-GAN), in generating realistic synthetic images for training a neural network model for cancer prediction. Our findings suggest that DC-GAN outperforms VAE-GAN in generating high-quality synthetic images and improving the neural network model. These results highlight the possibility of GAN-based data augmentation to enhance machine learning models’ performance in medical image analysis tasks. The result shows DC-GAN outperformed VAE-GAN.
Hemorrhagic cystitis in gastric cancer after nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel: A case report
Authors: Zhang Xin-Jie , Lou Jian
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

The advanced first-line regimen for advanced gastric cancer is based on a combination of fluoropyrimidine and platinum and/or paclitaxel (PTX), forming a two- or three-drug regimen. Compared to conventional PTX, nanoparticle albumin-bound PTX (Nab-PTX) has better therapeutic effects and fewer adverse effects reported in studies. Nab-PTX is a great option for patients presenting with advanced gastric cancer. Herein, we highlight an adverse event (hemorrhagic cystitis) of Nab-PTX in advanced gastric cancer.

CASE SUMMARY

A 55-year-old male was diagnosed with lymph node metastasis after a laparoscopic-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer that was treated by Nab-PTX and S-1 (AS). On the 15th day after treatment with AS, he was diagnosed with hemorrhagic cystitis.

CONCLUSION

Physicians should be aware that hemorrhagic cystitis is a potential adverse event associated with Nab-PTX treatment.
Early-onset gastrointestinal cancer: An epidemiological reality with great significance and implications
Authors: Triantafillidis John K , Georgiou Konstantinos , Konstadoulakis Manousos M , Papalois Apostolos E
Published: March 2024

During the last few years, epidemiological data from many countries suggest that the incidence and prevalence of many cancers of the digestive system are shifting from the older to the younger ages, the so-called “early-onset cancer”. This is particularly evident in colorectal cancer and secondarily in other malignant digestive neoplasms, mainly stomach and in a lesser degree pancreas, and biliary tract. It should be emphasized that data concerning digestive neoplasms, except for those referring to the colon and stomach, could be characterized as rather insufficient. The exact magnitude of the shift in younger ages is expected to become clearer shortly, as long as relevant epidemiological data from many parts of the world would be available. The most important question concerns the etiology of this phenomenon, since its magnitude cannot be explained solely by the better diagnostic methodology and the preventive programs applied in many countries. The existing data support the assumption that a number of environmental factors may play a primary role in influencing carcinogenesis, sometimes from childhood. Changes that have appeared in the last decades related mainly to eating habits, consistency of gut microbiome and an increase of obese people interacting with genetic factors, ultimately favor the process of carcinogenesis. Even these factors however, are not entirely sufficient to explain the age-related changes in the frequency of digestive neoplasms. Studies of the individual effect of each of the already known factors or factors likely to be involved in the etiology of this phenomenon and studies using state-of-the-art technologies to accurately determine the degree of the population exposure to these factors are required. In this article, we attempt to describe the epidemiological data supporting the age-shifting of digestive malignancies and their possible pathogenesis. Finally, we propose some measures regarding the attitude of the scientific community to this alarming phenomenon.
Contemplating the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine Introduction in Pakistan: Is Now the Time?
Authors: Batool Rabab
Published: March 2024

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine introduction is anticipated in many countries in the coming years. This Perspective addresses the opportunities and challenges of introducing HPV vaccination in Pakistan. A substantial portion of the population within the high-risk age group necessitates the implementation of a robust vaccination strategy. Advocacy, community mobilization, and stakeholder engagement are the key elements for the successful implementation of the vaccination program. However, for long-term control strategies, a multifaceted approach is recommended. This approach should involve integrating HPV vaccination into the national immunization program, improving access to screening methods, and establishing comprehensive and cost-effective programs for preventing cervical cancer.
Using the Technology Acceptance Model to Understand Attitudes about Smartphone Translators for EFL Writing
Authors: Charles Copeland
Published: March 2024

This quantitative case study used the technology acceptance model (TAM), which was developed by Venkatesh and Davis (2000), to comprehend student attitudes related to the use of smartphone translators in the English as a foreign language (EFL) writing classroom. The study surveyed 194 undergraduate students enrolled in a required EFL writing course. The study utilized a factor reduction to group the variables into the TAM model. Standard multiple regressions were then performed on each of the three stages of the TAM. First, it was found that subjective norm (SN), voluntariness (V) and output quality (OQ) had a positive statistically significant effect on the students’ perceived usefulness (PU). Two factors did not display a statistical effect on the model: results demonstrability (RD) and the students’ perceived ease of use (EoU). In the second phase of the model, EoU and PU both had a positive statistically significant effect on the students’ intention to use (IU). However, SN did not have a statistical effect on IU as predicted in the model. The final standardized regression found that IU had a positive statistically significant effect on the students’ usage behavior (UB). The overall results indicated that the more positive a student’s SN, V, OQ, PU, and IU, the more likely the student will be to apply smartphone translators to their arsenal of mechanisms to study English. Teachers should consider including the smartphone translator in their technology toolbox in the EFL writing classroom.
The Impact of Presentation Activities on College Students’ Self-efficacy
Authors: Lim Hyewon
Published: March 2024

In this study, we aim to identify the correlation between a student’s experience with presentations and self-efficacy, and to seek ways to teach the art of giving presentations in university classes. For this purpose, self-efficacy was measured before and after presentation practice for students in Presentation Techniques, a liberal arts subject at S University, and students' perceptions of the presentation experience were investigated. As a result of the survey, presentations were found to be helpful in improving self-efficacy, and were especially effective in improving social self-efficacy. These results show that presentation education can be an effective teaching method in teaching social and communication skills, and therefore, there appears to be a need to strengthen presentations in college classes.

Published: March 2024

The implementation of ecological ideals is crucial in the regulation of pollution and environmental damage in tin mining. This study undertakes a mapping and analysis to determine the extent to which the existing environmental regulatory framework about mining aligns with ecological ideals. A normative legal approach was utilised, and a comprehensive inventory of positive law was conducted to identify, rectify, and organise norms. The findings indicate that the allocation of mining permits remains a point of contention between regional and central governments, with the latter having resumed control after decentralisation. Additionally, current monitoring procedures are exclusively focused on legal matters, and law enforcement is limited to government officials within the bureaucratic structure. Corporate crime regulations are weak, and the exclusion and re-inclusion of mining in specific regulations pose challenges. Finally, the complex legal hierarchy further complicates these issues. In conclusion, the regulatory framework related to tin mining is not visionary and leaves gaps that allow for environmental damage and a cntinual increase in crime. This conclusion results from a review of current policies and may change if regulations are modified.

This research aims to determine the differences in serve performance of junior tennis players based on age and gender. The sample comprised 60 males and females aged 10, 12, and 14. The data collection instrument was Hewitt's tennis achievement test. The research showed that the age factor variable for junior tennis athletes had a Sig. Value of 0.00 < 0.05. It means that there is a significant difference in junior tennis serve results. In the gender factor variable, the Sig. Value was 0.007 < 0.05, which means a significant difference is found in the results of tennis serves. Furthermore, when combined, the Sig. Value of the age and gender was 0.977 > 0.05, which means there is no influence or interaction between age and gender in determining the results of tennis serve shot scores. In conclusion, the serve has an important role in tennis. This serve can be improved and trained throughout a player's career, from beginner to professional. The differences are visible between males and females from an early age. Based on the general result, males can serve 8-10% better than females because of physical strength, movement skills, and anthropometry. Male players have a faster serve speed and generate more serve points than females. It is caused by anthropometric factors where height and weight correlate with service speed in age and gender groups. In addition, height is associated with a higher serve impact point to increase success in serving.

Published: March 2024

Background: Coeducation in university settings is essential for fostering an inclusive, equitable, and diverse learning environment. In this regard, cooperative learning could play a crucial role in promoting coeducation by fostering collaboration, communication, and mutual understanding between male and female students. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the effects of cooperative learning on gender equality and cooperative skills in students. Methods: The design of the study was quasi-experimental with quantitative pre- and post-test measures. The sample was comprised of 60 students (female = 30, male = 30, age: 19,97 ± 1,21 years) enrolled in the 2nd grade of Sport Sciences, distributed into two groups (control and experimental). The Competencies Scale for Gender Equality Education (CEIG) and the Questionnaire for the Analysis of Cooperative Learning in Higher Education (ACOES) were implemented before and after the intervention in both groups. The experimental group participated in 7 volleyball lessons executed that followed a methodology grounded in Cooperative Learning, specifically using the Jigsaw method, which ensured the formation of mixed-gender teams. A Mann-Whitney U test was carried out to verify the intergroup effect of the intervention. Results: The experimental group significantly improved in 2 out of 3 dimensions of the CEIG and in 5 out of the 7 dimensions of the ACOES. Conclusions: Teaching collective sports like volleyball through a cooperative model, specifically with the Jigsaw method and including mixed teams, significantly contributes to improving not only cooperative teamwork skills but also gender equality in education.

Published: March 2024

Determination of the dynamics of the functional state of the musculoskeletal system of team sports athletes in the annual training cycle. The achievement of this goal will allow for providing scientifically-based management of training and competitive processes in the annual training cycle and contribute to the normalization of the functional state of the athlete's musculoskeletal system. The authors assessed the functional state of the musculoskeletal system of athletes involved in football, handball, and field hockey, using goniometry, and stabilometry, as well as testing physical abilities, associated with the flexibility of the joints (forward bend from a standing position (on the bench), bridge, transverse and longitudinal (best of 2 possible), splits). Testing was conducted during the annual training cycle, after the competitive period, and at the beginning and at the end of the preparatory period. Assessment of the functional state of the musculoskeletal system of athletes at the end of the competition period showed the low and below average flexibility levels. Static support ability (stabilometry) and joint mobility (goniometry) were below average and average levels. Decrease in static support ability testified to violations of the vestibular apparatus and proprioceptive sensitivity, which have a significant impact on balance. The low results of joint flexibility and mobility indicated the lack of elasticity of the musculoskeletal apparatus, which indicated the presence of overstrain. Diagnosed positive changes in the state of the musculoskeletal system of athletes at the beginning and at the end of the preparatory period, regardless of the team sport, indicated a partial restoration of the functional state of the musculoskeletal system during the transition period. According to the results of the study, recommendations were given for including in the training process, along with prestretching, corrective and preventive exercises based on the use of the myofascial relaxation technique, which contribute to the restoration of the functional state of the musculoskeletal system of team sports athletes.

This study aims to analyze and highlight the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of watermelon (Citrullus Lanatus) have the potential to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation after exercise/physical activity: Systematic Review. This research uses a systematic review method by searching various journal databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, and Pubmed. Inclusion criteria in this study were articles published within the last 5 years and articles discussing watermelon, inflammation, oxidative stress, and physical exercise. The exclusion criteria in this study were articles published in non-reputable journals. A total of 2010 articles from the Scopus, Web of Science Pubmed and Embase databases were identified. A total of 7 articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected and analyzed for this systematic review. For standard operations, this study follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) assessment. The results of this systematic review research report that the flavonoid content found in Citrullus lanatus has anti-oxidant properties which can reduce oxidative stress. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory properties of watermelon can reduce uncontrolled inflammation due to physical activity and intense exercise. In this case, Citrullus lanatus works by inhibiting inflammation through NF-kB signaling and reducing inflammation by suppressing the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-a. Reducing inflammation can potentially reduce the intensity of muscle pain. We recommend that Citrullus lanatus be used in individuals to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation caused by physical activity and intense exercise. Furthermore, we highly recommend future research to examine the effects of watermelon on other oxidative stress biomarkers such as protein carbonyl, as well as other inflammatory biomarkers such as IL-10, IL-6, and CRP.

THE EXPRESSIVE SPEECH ACT IN THE LOVELY BONES MOVIE
Authors: Tanjung Irma
Published: March 2024

This study aims to find out the analysis of the types of expressive speech acts and the most dominant expressive speech acts used by characters in literary works. Qualitative methods were used to fulfill two research objectives. The data was collected from the movie that was taken from the utterances used by the characters. It was observed, selected, and classified. The researcher took notes as a tool to classify the expressive acts of the characters in the movie. The results showed that nine kinds of expressive expressions were found in the movie, namely apologizing, blaming, congratulating, doubting, greeting, praising, regretting, thanking, and wishing. The most dominant type of expressive action used is the praising act because the character performs this action when he admires someone or an object for the listener. In addition, giving praise to others can make others more motivated; giving praise has a calming effect and makes others feel valued, and increases the listener's confidence. It is expected that the result of this study can be used as references for future research.

With China's economic and social development, under the influence of many factors, such as the low efficiency of grain cultivation and the formation of a pattern of specialization in agricultural production, the phenomenon of “de-farming” and “de-fooding” of arable land has begun to emerge in some areas. “Non-food” in China's food production space at the same time, but also on the arable land will produce different degrees of damage. Therefore, this paper analyzes the background and challenges of the “degrading” of arable land in China in the new era, and reveals in depth the regional and typological characteristics of the “degrading” of arable land, its causes, and its impact on food and ecological security. The paper finds that the background of “non-food” cropland stems from the diversification of agricultural production and the need to explore alternative land uses other than traditional food crops, and poses a challenge to China's food security by affecting the food supply. In the future, we should explore the formation of a long-term mechanism to strengthen the policy guidance of “non-food” and improve the efficiency of arable land for food cultivation in order to stimulate farmers' incentives to grow food. The article puts forward countermeasures to enhance the willingness of business entities to grow food and prevent the “degrazing” of arable land from the perspectives of policy guidance, multi-party participation, standard construction and compensation mechanism, with a view to providing certain reference significance for the protection of arable land in China in the future.
Mysteries of Cinema
Authors: Martin Adrian
Published: March 2024

The major essays of the distinguished and prolific Australian-born film critic Adrian Martin have long been difficult to access, so this anthology, which collects highlights of his work in one volume, will be welcomed throughout film studies. Martin offers indepth analysis of many genres of films while providing a broad understanding of the history of cinema and the history of film criticism and culture. These vibrant, highly personal essays, written between 1982 and 2016, balance breadth across cinema theory with almost encyclopedic detail, ranging between aesthetics, cinephilia, film genre, criticism, philosophy, and cultural politics. Mysteries of Cinema circumscribes a special cultural period that began with the dream of critique as a form of poetic writing, and today arrives at collaborative experiments in audiovisual essays. Throughout these essays, Martin pursues a particular vision of what cinema has been, what it is, and what it still could be.
Sacred Channels
Authors: Hörl Erich
Published: March 2024

Erich Hörl's Sacred Channels is an original take on the history of communication theory and the cultural imaginary of communication understood through the notions of the sacred and the primitive. Hörl offers insight into the shared ground of anthropology and media theory in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and presents an archeology of the philosophy of technology that underpins contemporary culture. This singular and unique project focuses on the ethnological disciplines and their phantasmatic imaginations of a prealphabetical realm of the sacred and the primitive but reads them in the context of media cultural questions as epistemic unconscious and as projections of the emerging postalphabetical condition. Drawing inspiration from work by the likes of Friedrich Kittler, Hörl's understanding of cybernetics in the post-World War II interdisciplinary field informs a rich analysis that is of interest to media scholars and to anyone seeking to understand the historical and theoretical underpinnings of the humanities in the age of technical media.
Late Bresson and the Visual Arts
Authors: Watkins Raymond
Published: March 2024

The color films of French film director Robert Bresson (1901-99) have largely been neglected, despite the fact that Bresson himself considered them to be more fully realized reflections of his aspirations for the cinema. This study presents a revised and revitalized Bresson, comparing his late style to painterly innovations in color, light, and iconography from the Middle Ages to the present, to abstract painting in France after World War II, and to affinities with the avant-garde movements of Surrealism, Constructivism, and Minimalism. Drawing on media archeology, this study views Bresson's work through such allied visual arts practices as painting, photography, sculpture, theater, and dance.
The Digital Image and Reality
Authors: Strutt Dan
Published: March 2024

The media technologies that surround and suffuse our everyday life profoundly affect our relation to reality. Philosophers since Plato and Aristotle have sought to understand the complex influence of apparently simple tools of expression on our understanding and experience of the world, time, space, materiality and energy. The Digital Image and Reality takes up this crucial philosophical task for our digital era. This rich yet accessible work argues that when new visual technologies arrive to represent and simulate reality, they give rise to nothing less than a radically different sensual image of the world. Through engaging with post-cinematic content and the new digital formats in which it appears, Strutt uncovers and explores how digital image-making is integral to emergent modes of metaphysical reflection - to speculative futurism, optimistic nihilism, and ethical plasticity. Ultimately, he prompts the reader to ask whether the impact of digital image processes might go even beyond our subjective consciousness of reality, towards the synthesis of objective actuality itself.
Theme Park Fandom
Authors: Williams Rebecca
Published: March 2024

Theme Park Fandom argues that serious study of theme parks and their adult fans has much to tell us about contemporary transmediality and convergence, themed and immersive spaces, and audience relationships with places of meaning. Considering the duopoly of Disney and Universal in Orlando, the book explores a range of theme park experiences including planning trips, meeting characters, eating and drinking, engaging in practices such as cosplay and re-enactment, and memorializing lost attractions. Highlighting key themes such as immersion, materiality, cultural distinctions, and self-identity, the book argues that theme parks are a crucial site for the exploration of transmediality and the development of paratexts. Proposing the key concepts of spatial transmedia and haptic fandom, the book offers analysis of the intersections between fandom, media texts, and merchandise, as well as fans’ own affective and physical responses to visiting the parks.
Transnational Play
Authors: Schleiner Anne-Marie
Published: March 2024

Transnational Play approaches gameplay as a set of practices and a global industry that includes diverse participation from players and developers located within the global South, in nations outside of the First World. Players experience play in game cafes, through casual games for regional and global causes like environmentalism, through piracy and cheats, via cultural localization, on their mobile phones, and through urban playful art in Latin America. This book offers a reorientation of perspective on the global developers who make games, as well as the players who consume games, while still acknowledging geographically distributed socioeconomic, racial, gender, and other inequities. Over the course of the inquiry, which includes a chapter dedicated to the cartography of the mobile augmented reality game Pokémon Go, the author develops a theoretical line of argument critically informed by gender studies and intersectionality, postcolonialism, geopolitics, and game studies, problematizing play as a diverse and contested transnational domain.

Published: March 2024

Abstract. Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS), launched in 2020, provides both temporally and spatially continuous air quality data from geostationary Earth orbit (GEO). In this study, we analyzed seasonal characteristics of GEMS tropospheric NO2 vertical column density (NO2 TropVCD) diurnal patterns and impacts of a priori data from diverse chemical transport model (CTM) simulations over the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA), using the GEMS products retrieved by the IUP algorithm. We found that both the amounts of NO2 TropVCD and the peak time vary according to the season – the maximum value occurs earlier in July (10 KST) compared to other months (12 KST), with relatively lower value (8.53 – 9.81 × 1015 molec. cm-2). In wintertime, the decrease in NO2 TropVCD over time was relatively slower than in summertime. Also, we examined the impact of changes in a priori data on the GEMS NO2 TropVCD. When we compare GEMS NO2 data retrieved with default NOx emissions and uniformly 20 %-reduced NOx emissions, there are no notable discrepancies as simulated NO2 profiles from CTM are nearly identical over the SMA. However, when the vertical profile at 06:45 UTC (13:45 KST) was applied for retrievals at all times, there are 11.9 – 16.1 % lower values before 13:45 KST and up to 4.9 % higher values after 13:45 KST compared to the control run case. Our study highlighted two key findings: (1) GEMS NO2 products describe distinct seasonal features, including the absolute values (highest in January and lowest in July) and diurnal patterns (persisting longer in January and declining rapidly in July), (2) changes of a priori data have the impacts of up to 19.2 % on the GEMS NO2 TropVCD.
Observed and CMIP6 model simulated organic aerosol response to drought in the contiguous United States during summertime
Authors: Li Wei , Wang Yuxuan
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Drought events have been linked with the enhancements of organic aerosols (OA), but the mechanisms have not been comprehensively understood. This study investigates the relationships between the monthly standardized precipitation–evapotranspiration index (SPEI) and surface OA in the contiguous United States (CONUS) during the summertime from 1998 to 2019. OA under severe drought conditions shows a significant increase in mass concentrations across most of the CONUS relative to non-drought periods with the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and Southeastern United States (SEUS) experiencing the highest average enhancement of 1.79 µg m−3 (112 %) and 0.92 µg m−3 (33 %), respectively. In the SEUS, a linear regression approach between OA and sulfate was used to estimate the isoprene epoxydiols derived secondary organic aerosol (IEPOX SOA), which is the primary driver of the OA enhancements under droughts due to the simultaneous increase of isoprene and sulfate. The rise of sulfate is mainly caused by the reduced wet deposition because of the up to 62 % lower precipitation amount. In the PNW, OA enhancements are closely linked to intensified wildfire emissions, which raise OA mass concentrations to be four to eight times higher relative to non-fire conditions. All ten Earth system models participating in the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) can capture the negative slopes between SPEI and OA in the PNW with CESM2-WACCM and GFDL-ESM4 performing the best and worst in predicting the OA enhancement under severe droughts. However, all models significantly underestimate the OA increase in the SEUS with Nor-ESM2-LM and MIRCO6 showing relatively better performance. This study reveals the key drivers of the elevated OA levels under droughts in the CONUS and underscores the deficiencies of current climate models in their predictive capacity for assessing the impact of future droughts on air quality.
Model-based analysis of erosion-induced microplastic delivery from arable land to the stream network of a mesoscale catchment

Abstract. Soils are generally accepted as sinks for microplastics (MPs) but at the same time might be an MP source for inland waters. However, little is known regarding the potential MP delivery from soils to aquatic systems via surface runoff and erosion. This study provides, for the first time, an estimate of the extent of soil-erosion-induced MP delivery from an arable-dominated mesoscale catchment (390 km2) to its river network within a typical arable region of southern Germany. To do this, a soil erosion model was used and combined with the potential particular MP load of arable land from different sources (sewage sludge, compost, atmospheric deposition, and tyre wear) from 1950 onwards. The modelling resulted in an annual mean MP flux into the stream network of 6.33 kg MP a−1 in 2020, which was dominated by tyre wear (80 %). Overall, 0.11 %–0.17 % of the MPs applied to arable soils between 1950 and 2020 were transported into the stream network. In terms of mass, this small proportion was in the same range as the MP inputs from wastewater treatment plants within the test catchment. More MP (0.5 %–1 % of input between 1950 and 2020) was deposited in the grassland areas along the stream network, and this could be an additional source of MP during flood events. Most (5 % of the MP applied between 1950 and 2020) of the MP translocated by tillage and water erosion was buried under the plough layer. Thus, the main part of the MP added to arable land remained in the topsoil and is available for long-term soil erosion. This can be illustrated based on a “stop MP input in 2020” scenario, indicating that MP delivery to the stream network until 2100 would only be reduced by 14 %. Overall, arable land at risk of soil erosion represents a long-term MP sink but also a long-term MP source for inland waters.

The article deals with the unresolved problems of forming a balanced system of strategic planning, which make the institute of preferential zones “fall out” from the process of spatial strategizing of the economy. The author analyzes the content and boundaries of the presence of preferential zones in the federal strategy for spatial development, as well as in the strategies of meso- and sub-federal planning levels, and determines approaches to forming the institutional and legal framework for the inclusion of preferential zones in the infrastructure of economic space management.

Humans were created by God to consist of men and women, therefore they are required to live in pairs in a bond called marriage. As stated in the 1945 Constitution, Article 28B Paragraph (1), which reads "Everyone has the right to form a family and continue their offspring through legal marriage". Before there were special regulations regarding marriage, in particular Indonesia still used the Civil Code (KUHPerdata) or Burgerlijk Wetboek (BW) as stated in Book One, Chapter IV concerning Marriage. The research method used in this research is normative juridical, which is supported by primary and secondary data sources, and qualitative analysis is carried out. The research results show that in the Civil Code, children outside of marriage have the status of illegitimate children of their parents. However, the Civil Code provides an opportunity for both parents to recognize the child as a legitimate child. Article 42 of the marriage law. If the marriage is invalid, then the children born from the marriage do not occupy the position of legitimate children. Constitutional Court Decision Number 46/PUU-VIII/2010 only recognizes children resulting from religiously valid marriages. Apart from that (the result of adultery), legally the child has no blood relationship with his father, but only has a civil relationship. If the biological father is not responsible, then the child through the mother can sue the father in civil law. The regulation of the inheritance rights of illegitimate children in Indonesian legislation and after the issuance of the Constitutional Court Decision Number 46/PUU-VIII/2010 can be concluded in Article 863 B.W. First part Regarding the inheritance share of illegitimate children in group I, if the testator dies leaving legitimate descendants and/or the husband/wife who lives the longest, then illegitimate children who can be recognized as inheriting a third of what they would have received had they been legitimate child. Then Article 100 KHI states that children born out of wedlock only have a lineage relationship with their mother and their mother's family. Then article 43 paragraph 1 of Law Number 1 of 1974 states that children born outside of marriage only have a civil relationship with their mother and their mother's family.

The aim of this research is to find out. Based on the background description above, a problem can be drawn, namely: How is the organizational performance of the Class II B Kudus State Detention Center implemented in improving public services and what are the obstacles that occur in implementing the organizational performance of the Class II B Kudus State Detention Center in improving public services? This research uses a sociological juridical approach. Sociological juridical approach, namely a research approach that examines the legal perceptions and behavior of people (humans and legal entities) and society as well as the effectiveness of the enactment of positive law in society. Implementation of the performance of the Class II B Kudus Prison in improving public services is reflected in the decision to accept prisoners, even though its main function is accepting prisoners. This is due to the unique situation in Kudus Regency which does not yet have a prison, forcing the Class IIB Kudus Detention Center to adapt and meet public needs in the criminal justice system. As a result, the detention center not only handles detainees but also inmates, having a broader impact on the criminal justice system and Kudus Regency society in general. This statement also highlights the relationship between legal structure, legal substance and legal culture in the context of public services
