Investigating the Impact of Inter-Set Stretching on Vastus Lateralis Fascicle Dynamics and Knee Extensor Torque during Resistance Training
Authors: Halmenschlager Gustavo , Cabral Hélio , Oliveira Liliam , Matta Thiago
Published: November 2023

Purpose
Although stretching applied between sets can affect performance, it is unknown whether the muscle architecture is associated with the fatigue of subsequent sets. Here we compare the effect of inter-set stretching on maximal concentric and eccentric knee extension torque and vastus lateralis fascicle behavior in physically active men.
Methods
Fifteen men performed 4 × 10 maximal knee extensions. Passive static stretching in the inter-set resting periods was applied to one limb's knee extensors (inter-set stretching protocol), while the other limb recovered passively (passive rest protocol). The vastus lateralis fascicle architecture (pennation angle and fascicle length; proximal and distal regions) and knee extensor torque (peak torque and peak torque angle; concentric and eccentric contractions; set one–four) were compared between the inter-set stretching and passive rest protocols.
Results
Concentric and eccentric peak torques significantly decreased across sets for both protocols (p ≤ 0.001); however, there were no differences between them. There were no significant differences between the inter-set stretching and passive rest protocols for variations in peak torque angle. The fascicle length and pennation angle also did not change significantly between the protocols (p > 0.06 for all cases), regardless of the vastus lateralis region.
Conclusion
Incorporating 30-s intra-set quadriceps stretching during maximal leg extension exercise does not affect the ability to produce maximum force and did not change the fascicle behavior. Coaches and practitioners can benefit from this time-efficient approach for the targeted muscle group without compromising exercise performance across four sets.
RELIGION AND POLITICAL ECONOMY
Authors: Adlan Muhamad Aqim
Published: November 2023

This article seeks to investigate the integration between political economy and religion offered in the forum Religion of Twenty (R20). The idea of R20 forum by Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) is one of the ideas to unite perceptions between countries and religions. It is based on the phenomenon of the global economy which has begun to be disrupted by conflicts and wars in several countries. Various wars by the superpowers have had implications for disrupting economic stability. Thus, the role of religion in terms of world peace also contributes to the success of global economic stability. In further analysis, this article refers to Ibn Khaldun, Al-Ghazali, Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill’s political economy to answer how is the relationship between religion and world peace in economic development? And what role does the R20 forum play in integrating political economy and religion for global economic development? The findings in this article indicate that the sources of political economy in R20 are a means of integrating its patterns in line with the values and essence of religious teachings.

Aperiodic spin chains at the boundary of hyperbolic tilings
Authors: Basteiro Pablo , Nath Das Rathindra , Di Giulio Giuseppe , Erdmenger Johanna
Published: November 2023

In view of making progress towards establishing a holographic duality for theories defined on a discrete tiling of the hyperbolic plane, we consider a recently proposed boundary spin chain Hamiltonian with aperiodic couplings that are chosen such as to reflect the inflation rule, i.e. the construction principle, of the bulk tiling. As a remnant of conformal symmetry, the spin degrees of freedom are arranged in multiplets of the dihedral group under which the bulk lattice is invariant. For the boundary Hamiltonian, we use strong-disorder RG techniques and evaluate correlation functions, the entanglement entropy and mutual information for the case that the ground state is in an aperiodic singlet phase. We find that two-point functions decay as a power-law with exponent equal to one. Furthermore, we consider the case that the spin variables transform in the fundamental representation of SO(N), leading to a gapless system, and find that the effective central charge obtained from the entanglement entropy scales as lnN, reflecting the number of local degrees of freedom. We also determine the dependence of this central charge on the parameters specifying the bulk tiling. Moreover, we obtain an analytical expression for the mutual information, according to which there is no phase transition at any finite value of the distance between the two intervals involved.
Board structure, ownership structure, and capital structure: Empirical evidence on Shariah and non-Shariah compliant firms in Indonesia
Authors: Fadlur Rahman Bayuny Ahmad , Haron Razali
Published: November 2023

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of board structure and ownership structure on capital structure of Shariah-compliant firms and Non-Shariah-compliant firms in Indonesia. The study used the Generalized Method of Moments to analyze the relationship by applying 2,739 data observations of non-financial companies registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This study uses commissionaire size, director size, female director, female commissionaire, independent director, and independent commissionaire as proxies for board structure, and ownership concentration and government ownership for ownership structure. The results showed that for Sharia-compliant firms, the relevant determinants are all variables of board structure and ownership structure except independent director. For Sharia non-compliant firms, the only non-relevant determinants are female director and commissionaire size. Interestingly, most of the board structure variables in Shariah compliant firms indicate a strong negative relationship with capital structure of firms (except total commissionaire). This may indicate that board structure of Shariah compliant firms strives to lower the leverage level of the firm. This may also indicate that most managers of Shariah compliant firms are risk averse.

NMR and Chemometrics in the Determination of Chemical Profiles for the Distinction of Brazilian Ale and Lager Beers
Authors: de Jesus Lázaro , Flores Igor , Pinto Vinícius , Ribeiro Gislane , Morais Karla , Lião Luciano
Published: November 2023

Determining chemical profiles of complex matrices, such as beers of different styles, can highlight regional characteristics and provide robust literature on the variability of this product, improving quality control. A practical application is to unequivocally attribute the authenticity of the product even in the face of variations in composition due to inadequate transport and storage. This work used proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H NMR) spectroscopy and chemometrics in the semi-quantitative study of Brazilian ale and lager beers. The results demonstrated the success of applying 1 H NMR in characterizing chemical profiles and as a statistical database to distinguish ale and lager beers. Using principal component analysis (PCA) of the NMR data, it was possible to identify that carbohydrate content was responsible for the separation tendency between these beer styles. Ale beers had a higher residual carbohydrate content, according to the integrals of the carbohydrate hydrogens. This is expected, as these beers are obtained by fermentation at higher temperatures for shorter fermentation times. The paper also described soft independent modelling of class analogies (SIMCA) as applied to the NMR data. This class model made it possible to correctly classify 90% of the samples as ale and 100% as lager.

Authors: Shatskaya Irina
Published: November 2023

Advertising remains the most effective tool of marketing communication. Advertising can create an attractive public image for a company by promoting its achievements and efforts to satisfy customer needs. This research featured the potential of social media marketing and a system for strategic management of advertising activities in social networks that could develop this potential. The authors appealed to the theory of strategy and the methodology of strategizing developed by Professor V.L. Kvint in an attempt to describe the core elements of the social media marketing system and their strategic management. Other research methods involved standard analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, and scientific abstraction. The study made it possible to draw the following conclusions. A well-structured strategy takes into account the interests of the manufacturer (seller) and consumer (buyer). It relies on planning, motivation, monitoring, and control over the achievability of strategic management goals. Such a strategy can increase the effectiveness of social media marketing. The methodology proposed by V.L. Kvint makes it possible to navigate a social media marketing project through all its stages.

Published: November 2023

Neste trabalho propomos um método de análise dos discursos elaborados por representantes de instituições governamentais e não governamentais que apoiam avanços na legislação e regulação sanitária brasileira em consonância com a Convenção-Quadro para o Controle do Tabaco da Organização Mundial de Saúde (CQCT/OMS), assim como os argumentos contrários, que muitas vezes representam os interesses da indústria do tabaco. Utilizando o referencial habermasiano propomos abordar os diferentes discursos representados por diversos atores para analisar os tipos de argumentação intersubjetiva que expressam discursos teóricos e práticos ancorados no conceito tríplice de mundo de Habermas (objetivo, normativo e subjetivo) e como são costurados pela razão comunicativa para proposições de políticas públicas. O trabalho de Habermas tem sido apropriado de forma crescente na área da Saúde Coletiva e demonstra potencial explicativo para iluminar os problemas teóricos e práticos que desafiam a formulação de políticas, o planejamento e a gestão em saúde.

Published: November 2023

Introduction::

Steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head (SINFH) is a femoral
head necrotic disease caused by prolonged use of hormones. Wen-Dan decoction is used in
Chinese clinical practice for the treatment of steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head
(SINFH). However, the mechanism and active compounds of Wen-Dan decoction used to treat
SINFH are not well understood.

Objectives::

We studied the mechanism of action of Wen-Dan decoction in treating steroidinduced
necrosis of the femoral head (SINFH) via network pharmacology and in vivo experiments.

Methods::

The active compounds of Wen-Dan decoction and SINFH-related target genes were
identified through public databases. Then, network pharmacological analysis was conducted to
explore the potential key active compounds, core targets and biological processes of Wen-Dan
decoction in SINFH. The potential mechanisms of Wen-Dan decoction in SINFH obtained by
network pharmacology were validated through in vivo experiments.

Results::

We identified 608 DEGs (differentially expressed genes) (230 upregulated, 378 downregulated)
in SINFH. GO analysis revealed that the SINFH-related genes were mainly involved
in neutrophil activation and the immune response. KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and
Genomes) pathway analysis showed that the SINFH-related genes were mainly associated with
cytokine receptor interactions, lipids, atherosclerosis, and tuberculosis. We identified 147 active
ingredients of Wen-Dan decoction; the core ingredient was quercetin, and licorice was an active
ingredient. Moreover, 277 target genes in the treatment of SINFH with Wen-Dan decoction
were identified, and NCF1, PTGS2, and RUNX2 were selected as core target genes. QRT-PCR
of peripheral blood from SINFH patients showed higher levels of PGTS2 and NCF1 and
showed lower levels of RUNX2 compared to controls. QRT-PCR analysis of peripheral blood
and femoral bone tissue from a mouse model of SINFH showed higher levels of PGTS2 and
NCF1 and lower levels of RUNX2 in the experimental animals than the controls, which was
consistent with the bioinformatics results. HE, immunohistochemistry, and TUNEL staining
confirmed a significant reduction in hormone-induced femoral head necrosis in the quercetintreated
mice. HE, immunohistochemistry, and TUNEL staining confirmed significant improvement
in hormone-induced femoral head necrosis in the quercetin-treated mice.

Conclusion::

We provide new insights into the genes and related pathways involved in SINFH
and report that PTGS2, RUNX2, and NCF1 are potential drug targets. Quercetin improved
SINFH by promoting osteogenesis and inhibiting apoptosis.
Investigation of Nosocomial Urinary Tract Infections Post Transplantation,
Main Pathogens, and Sensitivity Tests
Authors: Ghamari Zahra Tolou
Published: November 2023

Background:

Regarding end-stage organ disease, transplantation is recommended as the
best therapeutic management. After organ transplantation, the incidence of nosocomial urinary tract
infections (NUTIs) due to multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli increases.

Aim:

The study aimed to investigate NUTIs post-transplantation, the main pathogens involved, and
sensitivity tests conducted in a tertiary hospital in Isfahan, Iran.

Methods:

A retrospective survey on patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in Isfahan (Alzahra), Iran,
was performed between 27 March, 2017, and 9 February, 2022. The information recorded included
the date of infection, date of hospitalization, gender, age, type of pathogens, and resistance or sensitivity
to antibiotics.

Results:

73 kidney transplant recipients (61% females) with a mean age of 43. 2 ± 15.1 years were
included. Within this population involving both genders, the main pathogens involved in NUTIs were
as follows: Escherichia coli (30%), Klebsiella pneumonia (19%), Candida albicans and non-albicans
(14%), Enterococcus faecalis (12%), Enterobacteriaceae (8%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (6%),
Staphylococcus spp. (6%), Acinetobacter baumannii (4%), and Streptococcus spp. (4%). Antibiotic
susceptibility testing showed the most sensitivity of isolates against amikacin (n=29; 66%), meropenem
(n= 28; 64%), piperacillin/tazobactam (n=26; 54%), cefepime (n= 25; 40%), ceftazidime (n=
27; 30%), ciprofloxacin (n= 40; 18%), and co-trimoxazole (n= 29; 10%).

Conclusion:

Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Candida spp. were the major causes of
NUTIs within the studied organ-transplanted recipients. Amikacin, meropenem, and piperacillin/
tazobactam have shown more than 50% sensitivity against isolates. Further evidence-based pharmacotherapy
investigations associated with the different spectrum antibiotics and overall antimicrobial
success rate is recommended to be advantageous.

Published: November 2023

Nanotechnology is a captivating scientific field with numerous practical applications. The
study of nanomaterials and their unique and enhanced capabilities has prompted extensive research
into their diverse uses, spanning disciplines from biology and materials science to chemistry and
physics. Nanotechnology is expected to play a crucial role in addressing environmental challenges
such as sensing, monitoring, mitigation, and power generation. However, it is important to consider
the potential environmental impact of nanotechnology, although the specific pathways of such impact have yet to be fully defined. The utilization of nanomaterials in instruments, gadgets, equipment, and other products, as well as the energy required for their production and operation, directly
and indirectly influence our environment. In both cases, it is desirable to minimize their impact. Additionally, advancements in nanoscale catalysts, inline and remote detectors, and nano-chemical reactors hold promise for the detection and mitigation of low-level contaminants. Therefore, this chapter
focuses on exploring the foundational concepts of nanoscience and nanotechnology as they relate to
the field of environmental engineering.

In recent years we have seen a growing recognition by educators of the value of Virtual Exchange (VE) in the context of Internationalisation at Home (IaH) (de Wit, 2016). Research has shown the benefits of VE for language learners, as it emphasises the development of transferable skills (European Commission, 2021; Godwin-Jones, 2020). In this paper, we report on the development of Erasmus Speaks, an innovative, transnational Virtual Exchange Project offered at a third-level research institution in Ireland in autumn 2020. This new element replaced the Erasmus study-abroad period for over 600 European language students in response to Covid-19 pandemic travel restrictions. The high completion rate of the project, reflected in the large number of Transnational Erasmus+ Project (TEP) digital badges awarded to participants, shows that this task-based project met its objectives in relation to language learning, intercultural awareness, digital literacy and transferable skills.

Published: November 2023

Seiring bertambahnya jumlah penduduk, kebutuhan listrik juga mengalami peningkatan tiap tahun. Pesatnya pertumbuhan penduduk dan ekonomi di area PLN (Persero) ULP Yogyakarta Kota berpengaruh pada bertambahnya permohonan tambah daya listrik oleh pelanggan yang mengakibatkan terjadinya overload (beban lebih) pada transformator distribusi. Berdasarkan ketetapan SPLN No. 17 Tahun 1979 menyatakan bahwa terdapat tiga macam kondisi transformator yaitu normal, waspada dan darurat. Menurut persentase pembebanan transformator, kondisi waspada dan darurat terjadi saat pembebanan lebih dari 80%. Oleh karena itu, dilakukan simulasi dilakukan untuk mengetahui kondisi transformator ketika dilakukan penambahan daya. Pada metode penelitan ini membandingkan pengaruh uprating dan sisip transformator untuk mengantisipasi terjadinya overload. Metode perbandingan tersebut berdasarkan tiga aspek yaitu persentase pembebanan, persentase drop voltage dan biaya pengerjaan. Berdasarkan hasil simulasi pada penelitian ini, kedua metode tersebut menunjukkan hasil efektivitas yang sama, dengan persentase pembebanan mengalami penurunan 75,9% dan penurunan persentase drop voltage 1,81%. Sedangkan biaya pengerjaan untuk uprating sebesar Rp44.417.670, sedangkan untuk sisip transformator sebesar Rp48.843.740. Biaya pengerjaan uprating transformator lebih murah karena tidak memerlukan biaya pemasangan tiang serta konstruksi CC7. Maka dari itu, metode upratinglebih efisien dari metode sisip transformator dalam hal biaya pengerjaan.

In the economic environment of global economic recession, weak consumption and weakened momentum of economic recovery, due to the impact of the prolonged epidemic, the global economy has become more polarized, and the development of China’s digital RMB has also fallen into difficulties, and the complex international environment has led to China’s economic development is relatively unstable; however, because the world is entering the era of informationization, the development of the digital RMB is imminent. Combined with the background of economic recovery in the post epidemic era, this paper analyzes and summarizes the current situation of digital RMB at this stage, studies the existing deficiencies of digital RMB, and ultimately puts forward four relevant countermeasures and targeted recommendations to promote the development of digital RMB, which mainly include strengthening the internationalization of RMB, continuing to make efforts to reduce the difficulties in payment, improving the relevant technology, and strengthening the measures of market supervision.
A Review of Research on the Chinese EFL Learners’ Production of Linguistic Prosody in Turn Organization
Authors: Xia Zhihua
Published: November 2023

Prosody features play crucial roles in the management and organization of conversations, among which turn-taking plays crucial roles in conversation organization. The appropriate use of prosodic features is an indispensable part of conversation strategies or skills, but the interaction between linguistic prosody and turn-taking is difficult to be acquired for EFL learners. This paper reviews the theoretical and empirical studies of interrelation between prosody and turn-taking, and the EFL learners’ acquisition of prosody in conversation organization in order to supply references for future studies in the similar fields.

Abstract: The robotic vehicle's main goal is to obey voice commands from the user and carry out tasks assigned by the user; it can be controlled by voice commands even when no human is present. The robot may be controlled by vocal commands from the user; an Android app is needed for Bluetooth HC-05 module communication. The ultrasonic sensor module helps to detect the autonomous vehicle perceive its surroundings. The motors that are used to power the robotic vehicle will be controlled by a modified Arduino for the hardware. When an abrupt obstruction is detected, the Arduino and ultrasonic sensors work together to assist with autonomous vehicle braking and will change the direction accordingly.

NATO and the CSDP after the Ukraine War: The End of European Strategic Autonomy?
Authors: Ratti Luca
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The paper debates the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on the relationship between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union’s Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). It argues that the invasion has changed dramatically Europe’s security landscape, carrying major implications for both organizations and their relationship. After its withdrawal from Afghanistan and deepening frictions between the US and its European allies about burden-sharing, the war instilled a new sense of purpose into NATO, placing renewed emphasis on its core functions of territorial defense and deterrence. However, the war was also a reality check for the EU, raising important questions about the future of the European security architecture, the Union’s role within it, and its relationship with NATO (hereafter also referred to as the Alliance). The aim of this article is to try to answer some of these questions, by providing an initial assessment of the impact of the war on the relationship between NATO and the CSDP, and to sketch out potential avenues for strengthening the EU’s role in transatlantic security. More specifically, the paper will try to answer the following questions: what are the implications of the conflict on the Alliance? How did the war impact on the CSDP and the Union’s aspiration to strategic autonomy? Where is EU-NATO cooperation heading as a result of the war? Will the conflict ramp up cooperation between the two organizations or will European defence efforts be channelled mostly through NATO? Will EU leaders grab the momentum created by the war to further institutional integration also in security and defence and or will the war turn into another missed opportunity to promote a more effective burden-sharing in transatlantic security?
Determinant of online shopping intention: Satisfaction as an intermediary
Authors: Sukesi Sukesi
Published: November 2023

Conducted with a sample size of 120, the research employed structural equation modeling for analysis. The findings revealed several influential factors, including perceived trust, perceived value, perceived risk, and satisfaction, impacting behavioral intentions among Indonesian online shoppers. Notably, satisfaction emerged as a mediating variable in the relationship between perceived trust, perceived value, perceived risk, and behavioral intentions. The implications suggest that businesses and online retailers seeking to enhance customer satisfaction and drive desired behaviors should consider strategies aligned with these influential factors. However, it is crucial for both researchers and practitioners to acknowledge the study's limitations. Further research endeavors are encouraged to broaden and refine our understanding of consumer behavior in the Indonesian online shopping landscape.

This research investigates the complex relationship between Problematic Internet Use (PIU) and various psychological aspects, including Psychology and Mental Health (PMH), Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), and Social Media Fatigue (SMF). Furthermore, this study was designed to test various psychological conditions regarding the Desire to Disconnect (DD), which ultimately results in the Joy of Missing Out (JOMO). Through a structural equation model involving 310 college student respondents, this study found that PIU is associated with suffering in PMH, heightened FOMO, increased SMF, and that FOMO exacerbates SMF. Moreover, SMF drives DD, and ultimately, DD causes JOMO. In response to these findings, we argue that achieving a balance in marketing between FOMO-based online strategies and JOMO-based offline strategies needs to be a priority for sustainable brand marketing. Additionally, it is crucial to consider ethical issues in content moderation aligned with FOMO to safeguard consumers' psychological well-being.

This study aims to address the gap in understanding the impact arising from education research, researcher collaborations with stakeholders, and knowledge mobilization activities in Singapore. Eight cases of local research projects are used to understand the phenomenon of research impact in different context-specific settings. The findings reveal differing perceptions of impact among research users and researchers, and cohesion on the factors that contribute to research impact. Drawing from the findings, the authors propose three emerging principles that can enhance research impact efforts: a) frontloading the intended research impact, b) building mutualistic relationships, and c) co-constructing research. The findings and emerging questions from the study contribute to the growing body of scholarship to help researchers and stakeholders strengthen the research-practice-policy nexus.
