Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive lung disease that culminates in respiratory failure and death due to irreversible scarring of the distal lung. While initially considered a chronic inflammatory disorder, the aberrant function of the alveolar epithelium is now acknowledged as playing a central role in the pathophysiology of IPF. This study aimed to investigate the regenerative capacity of alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells using IPF-derived alveolar organoids and to examine the effects of disease progression on this capacity.Methods: Lung tissues from three pneumothorax patients and six IPF patients (early and advanced stages) were obtained through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and lung transplantation. HTII-280+ cells were isolated from CD31-CD45-epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)+ cells in the distal lungs of IPF and pneumothorax patients using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and resuspended in 48-well plates to establish IPF-derived alveolar organoids. Immunostaining was used to verify the presence of AT2 cells.Results: FACS sorting yielded approximately 1% of AT2 cells in early IPF tissue, and the number decreased as the disease progressed, in contrast to 2.7% in pneumothorax. Additionally, the cultured organoids in the IPF groups were smaller and less numerous compared to those from pneumothorax patients. The colony forming efficiency decreased as the disease advanced. Immunostaining results showed that the IPF organoids expressed less surfactant protein C (SFTPC) compared to the pneumothorax group and contained keratin 5+ (KRT5+) cells.Conclusion: This study confirmed that the regenerative capacity of AT2 cells in IPF decreases as the disease progresses, with IPF-derived AT2 cells inherently exhibiting functional abnormalities and altered differentiation plasticity.

Authors: Supanyo Suppanat , Tanasittikosol Monsit , Yoo-Kong Sikarin
Published: September 2024

Строятся нестандартные лагранжианы в так называемой мультипликативной форме для однородного скалярного поля и фермионного поля. Для этого применяется обратное вариационное исчисление с уравнениями движения, которые по-прежнему являются уравнениями Клейна-Гордона для скалярного поля и Дирака для фермионного поля. С использованием неединственности лагранжиана показано, что эти лагранжианы можно записать как линейные комбинации стандартного и нестандартного лагранжианов. С применением этих новых лагранжианов обсуждаются устойчивость поля духов, неестественная малость космологической постоянной и киральный конденсат.

Language Development Profile in Children Under Five Years Old: A Literature Review
Authors: Cahyandari Rini , Yuningsih Siti Hadiaty , Saefullah Rifki
Published: September 2024

Language development in humans is part of cognitive development. Children's language development is a process in which they acquire the ability to understand and communicate through speech. Before achieving fluency, a child may gradually comprehend basic verbal patterns and enhance their vocabulary during this stage. Children's grammar development progresses from one word or sentence, but some sentences, especially those with prepositional phrases, rules, and plurals, need correction. Early language development involves many errors, so parents must patiently correct mistakes. Language development in early childhood is fundamental. This paper aims to review the language development profile in children under the age of five. The research method used is literature review and library research. The results show that the language development profile in children under five follows stages that include word usage in sentences and comprehension building.
FENOMEN POST MEMORIJE U ČETIRI SAVREMENA SRPSKA ROMANA ZA DJECU
Authors:   Institute for Literature and Arts, Belgrade, Serbia, Bjelanović Nedeljka V.
Published: September 2024

The paper deals with the implications of the term and the concept of postmemory in the context of contempo- rary Serbian children’s literature. For this occasion, the novels of Vesna Aleksić and the multiple award-winning Jasminka Petrović’s novel The Summer I Learned to Fly (Leto kada sam naučila da letim) were analysed in compa- rative context. During the research, it has been conclu- ded that the discussed phenomenon (postmemory) in Serbian recent literary production for young people plays an important motivational role in terms of constructing and developing the plot. Recent Serbian children’s lite- rature does not hesitate to deal with the thematization of the trauma of the child (protagonist), or to present and contextualise inherited traumas. Serbian writers for chil- dren demonstrate the courage to deal with afore mentio- ned difficult subjects, using humor that plays a key role when the struggle with trauma must be presented to appeal to young readers
BASNE U STIHU SA VREMENIH PESNIKA ZA DECU – JEDAN POGLED
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Education, Serbia, Mićić Višnja S.
Published: September 2024

The paper discusses different types of verse fables for children by contemporary Serbian poets. We researched the framework of the present-day poetic dialogue with the fable on two levels: 1. the relationship with a parti- cular fable as the starting point for poetic reshaping, and 2. the relationship with the genre and generic features within the fable. Our goal is to use qualitative analysis in order to shed light on literary devices which are most explicit in problematizing fable patterns. We started from the evolution of the plot of the fable about the cricket and the ant as a specific example that can be used to shed light on the path of transformation of this didactic genre and the recorded influences of the social context in which it took place. Subsequently, we singled out typical examples of texts that problematize the fable’s moral, question its concept of virtue, or introduce new motifs into the expected structure.
(NE)KANONSKA ČITANJA: SAVREMENE TEORIJSKE KONTROVERZE I PROUČAVANJE ROMANA ZA DECU I MLADE U ČASOPISU DETINJSTVO (2000–2020)
Authors:   Institute for Literature and Arts (Belgrade), Serbia, Lalatović Jelena
Published: September 2024

The paper illuminates some aspects of the influence of the literary canon debate on the institutionalization of specific theoretical approaches in the interpretation of children’s novels. This genre, as evidenced by many thematic issues of the journal Childhood in the first de- cades of the twenty-first century, provides fertile ground for the institutional legitimization of literary theories whose postulates imply a demand for challenging or re- forming the canon, such as cultural Marxist, gender, postcolonial, and other readings that dominantly rely on the category of individual and collective identity. In this research, the role of the Childhood journal in the academic institutionalization of these methodologies is analyzed within the context of a specific paradox. The study of children’s and young adult literature has proven to be a favorable environment for non-canonical and anti-canonical readings, although the entry of these explorations into the academic framework is undeniably marked by a struggle for legitimacy and status of the subject of study. In simpler terms, while inviting to challenge the literary canon, the theory of children’s literature requested the authority for children’s and YA literature similar to that of the literary canon for adults. The aim of the paper is to describe the literary-theoretical paradigms on which the study of novels for children and young adults in the journal Childhood relies, using the major currents of literary theory on a global scale as a reference-comparative framework.

Anti-epileptic drugs such as valproic acid (VPA) have been reported to have detrimental effects on the offspring of women with epilepsy (WWE). This study investigated the effects of prenatal morin supplementation on the hippocampus of a rat model of autism, prenatally induced by VPA. The pups of adult female kindled and non-kindled rats were used for this study. Pregnant rats were randomly assigned to five groups (n=6): Non-kindled rats’ pups were assigned as the control group and received normal saline (mL/kg). The kindled rats were allowed to mate fourteen days after kindling and were separated into groups as follows: pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), PTZ+VPA, PTZ+VPA+morin, and PTZ+VPA+folic acid. Treatments were carried out on gestational days 8–18. Following delivery and weaning on post-natal day 32, neurobehavioural studies were conducted. Results showed that in-utero morin supplementation improved all VPA-induced behavioural and cognitive deficits in the offspring of kindled Wistar rats. Furthermore, prenatal VPA increased malondialdehyde and nitrite levels, and deficits in antioxidant enzyme activities in the hippocampus, which were attenuated by morin supplementation. VPA-induced increases in neuroinflammatory markers and decreases in brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels were reversed by morin treatment. Prenatal morin supplementation also exhibited neuroprotection against VPA-induced hippocampal neuronal damages, as seen in the preserved hippocampal neural architecture of the morin-treated groups. These findings showed that prenatal administration of morin prevented valproic acid-induced autistic-like behaviour in the offspring of WWE. This could be attributed to the augmentation of the oxido-inflammatory system and neuro-protective defence mechanisms via upregulation of BDNF in the brain.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by Lewy body formation mainly phosphorylated and aggregated α-synuclein, with subsequent neurotoxicity and death of dopaminergic neurons in the basal ganglia. The neuroprotective action of curcumin and piperine has been reported. We used the GAL4/UAS bipartite system for targeted expression of α-synuclein pan-neuronal and dopamine neurons to create genetically induced PD. Hence, in this study we assessed the ameliorative effect of curcumin and piperine on α-synuclein-induced dopaminergic neuron degeneration and photoreceptor degeneration in the Drosophila melanogaster model of PD. Male Drosophila melanogaster (upstream activating sequence (UAS) linked to synuclein (SNCA) flies were crossed with virgin wild-type Can-ton-S, DDC-GAL4 or GMR-GAL4 female flies) cultured on either medium containing graded concentrations of curcumin and/or piperine (5, 10, and 50 μM) or vehicle. The parameters measured included fecundity, larval motility, negative geotaxis, and lifespan. Vehicle, curcumin, or piperine supplementation in SNCA>Cs, SNCA>DDC, or SNCA>GMR flies did not affect fecundity or larval motility, but piperine (5 μM and 10 μM but not 50 μM) supplementation reduced fecundity. SNCA>DDC flies significantly reduced climbing performance and lifespan, peaked in week 4, ameliorated by the curcumin and piperine combination. Moreover, the increased aggregation of synuclein, as evidenced in ommatidial degeneration in SNCA>GMR flies’ eyes, was attenuated by the curcumin and piperine combination. Findings from the present study further reinforced the potential benefit of curcumin and piperine in the management of PD.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Denpasar City, in addition to having a positive impact on stakeholders and contributing to the national economy, are also often perceived by some people as parties responsible for various environmental damage phenomena including environmental pollution, air pollution and global warming. This study aims to develop and test a theoretical model that empirically examines how green organizational culture based on local wisdom in the Tri Hita Karana perspective influences sustainable competitive advantage in the context of SMEs. In addition, this study also statistically explores the research model and the mediating role of green innovation that has previously received little attention. This study uses a quantitative approach using a survey of 95 respondents. Data were collected from a convenient field survey using a closed questionnaire from SME actors related to the direct responsibility of business activities towards environmental aspects in the city of Denpasar Bali-Indonesia. A structural equation modeling approach was used to achieve the research objectives. The results showed that green organizational culture based on Tri Hita Karana is a significant predictor of sustainable competitive advantage in this study. Furthermore, the findings reveal that green innovation fully mediates the relationship between green organizational culture based on Tri Hita Karana and sustainable competitive advantage.
Determination of Insurance Premium Rates with Aggregation Claims at BPJS with Exponential and Gamma Distributions
Authors: Zakirah Khalilah Razanah , Banowati Puspa Dwi Ayu
Published: September 2024

Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS) is a legal entity that has been provided by the government for the community with the aim of providing protection for all workers in Indonesia from certain socio-economic risks. National development, marked by planned and continuous strides, embodies a commitment to engage all societal, national, and state levels in fostering progress. Encompassing political, economic, socio-cultural, and defense and security realms, the development is meticulously designed to be comprehensive, targeted, integrated, gradual, and sustainable. The overarching objective is to catalyze an augmentation of national capabilities, align the standard of living for the Indonesian people with developed nations, and elevate overall welfare. To establish premium rates, a method involves multiplying the conditional expected value of claim frequency by the size of the claim, considering observed risk characteristics. A claim, in this context, constitutes a formal request to the insurance company, seeking payment in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The primary objective of this study is to establish the insurance premium rates applicable to policyholders (the insured) through the estimation of parameters in the distribution governing aggregate claims. This involves the distribution of both the number of claims and the size of the claims, and the estimation is performed using the moment method. Premium computations are executed based on two key principles: the pure premium principle and the expected value principle. This research produces the conclusion that the Poisson-Gamma aggregate claims distribution has a premium amount of 3.61 times greater than Poisson-Exponential due to the application of the anticipated value principle, namely IDR 4,403,542.94 per month and IDR 1,219,878.45 per month, respectively.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

This study focuses on exploring the impact of festival tourism experiences on tourists' satisfaction, well-being, and revisit intention. Through a survey conducted among tourists who attended the Penghu Ocean Fireworks Festival, with 385 valid responses collected, this study conducted an in-depth analysis of the data using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The empirical results show that festival tourism experiences significantly enhance tourists' intrinsic satisfaction and extrinsic satisfaction, which in turn positively influence their well-being and increase their revisit intention. This indicates that tourists' satisfaction with the core content and additional services of the festival can significantly enhance their well-being and encourage them to participate in similar or related events in the future. This further demonstrates the importance of overall festival experience for tourist satisfaction. By providing high-quality core activities and excellent additional services, festival organizers can simultaneously enhance tourists' intrinsic and extrinsic satisfaction, thereby improving their well-being and revisit intention.

Authors: TSYBENKO V.A.
Published: September 2024

The article focuses on the key characteristics of an Internet meme and evaluates its potential application as a tool for developing school students’ linguistic and communicative competence. The author investigates scientific researches on Internet technology and methodology of foreign language teaching, and, thus, the author views Internet memes as a form of polycode text that contributes to the development of readers’ functional literacy. TThe study proves that the use of internet memes, both during lessons and within independent and project work, facilitates a more effective development of foreign language communication skills and the improvement of communicative competence, as well as increases motivation for foreign language learning, when proper methodological organisation of student activities is implemented. Additionally, the article provides sample tasks that serve as examples of usage of Internet memes based on the content of the 9th grade textbook, “L’oiseau bleu” (The Blue Bird), which can serve as supplementary resources when working with the textbook.
THE MANGA FORM AS A METHOD TO INCREASE TEENAGERS’ READING LITERACY
Authors: SHEFER O.V.
Published: September 2024

The formation of reading literacy in the modern educational standard serves as an impetus for the search for new forms and means of motivating students to work with text and its sense perception. Comics, which are creolized texts, make active interest among teenagers and young people. An unusual form of conveying the information and further comprehension of the text can be actively used in increasing reading skills. One of the types of comics that are in demand among the youth target audience can be called the “manga” form. Readers are interested in the emotions and feelings, that are the foundation of this genre, and the author’s methods of depicting deep philosophical thoughts through the drawn characters and their remarks. Graphic-symbolic language allows the author to show own worldview, and the reader to develop imaginative thinking and interpret the actions and motives of the characters. The integration of verbal and visual means in manga helps to promote interest in reading and increase teenagers’ reading literacy.

Published: September 2024

In modern pedagogical practice, due to the development of information technologies, the need for virtualization and informatization of the educational process to improve its quality is increasing. Interactive technologies (IT) are an effective pedagogical means of studying foreign language culture and developing communication skills. The use of IT helps to accelerate the learning process, improve the quality of learning, and allows the teacher to individualize the process of foreign language teaching. Within the framework of this study, the teaching of foreign language business communication in intercultural interaction using the Miro interactive whiteboard is considered. The stages of working with an interactive course in foreign language classes are described. Moreover, Miro allows the teacher not only to facilitate the process of teaching a foreign language, but also to make it interesting. With the help of an interactive board, it is possible to organize the independent and project work of students in an effective way.
Climate Change Awareness and Policy Implementation in Canberra
Authors: Davis Henry
Published: September 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the climate change awareness and policy implementation in Canberra.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings:  The study revealed that while there is a high level of public awareness and concern about climate change among residents, translating this awareness into effective policy action remains a challenge. The local government has implemented various policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability, but gaps persist in policy enforcement and public engagement. The findings suggest that stronger collaboration between policymakers, community stakeholders, and educational campaigns is needed to bridge the gap between awareness and actionable outcomes in combating climate change in Canberra.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social cognitive theory, framing theory & the theory of planned behavior may be used to anchor future studies on climate change awareness and policy implementation in Canberra. Educational campaigns should incorporate interactive workshops, online resources, and community events that encourage participation and foster a deeper understanding of climate policies. Policymakers should allocate funding for climate education initiatives, ensuring that they are integrated into school curricula and community learning programs, thereby institutionalizing climate education.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the renewable energy adoption and carbon emission reductions in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Renewable energy adoption in Copenhagen, Denmark, has led to significant reductions in carbon emissions, driven by the city’s commitment to transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy sources such as wind, solar, and biomass. Studies indicate that the integration of these renewable energy sources into Copenhagen's power grid has contributed to a reduction of approximately 35% in carbon emissions over the past decade. This success is attributed to strong government policies, financial incentives, and technological advancements that have supported the widespread adoption of renewables.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Sustainable livelihoods framework, integrated water resources Management (IWRM) & theory of planned behavior may be used to anchor future studies on renewable energy adoption and carbon emission reductions in Copenhagen, Denmark. In practice, Copenhagen's approach to renewable energy adoption should be further refined and documented as a best practice model for other cities. From a policy perspective, Copenhagen should continue to lead in setting ambitious renewable energy targets, while ensuring that policies are adaptable to technological advancements and market changes.
