Psychological and pedagogical study of the nature of the critical thinking development in deviant adolescents (on the example of schoolchildren in Russia and Indonesia)
Authors: Rosalina Tio , Muslumov Rustam
Published: April 2022

The article presents a comparative analysis of the study of the critical thinking skills among the deviant adolescents from Russia and Indonesia. The authors offer the analysis of ideas on the concept of «critical thinking», its features, compare the academic points of view on its origin and aspects in domestic and foreign psychology.

The study involved 80 teenagers, 40 from each country. According to the expert assessment made by teachers, the samples were categorized as an asocial type of deviant behavior group according to E.V. Zmanovskaya. The following methods were used: Test of Everyday Reasoning (TER), the Dembo-Rubinstein self-assessment test, Kettell Culture Fair Intelligence test. The found differences between the groups have been analyzed in the context of cultural and historical factors, features of the construction of educational programs, psychological aspects of the personality of children.

The study showed that there is a significant relationship between the degree of self-esteem of Russian and Indonesian students and indicators of critical thinking and IQ. In our opinion, the leading factor in the development of critical thinking is a properly structured task taxonomy, created in the learning process, as well as a specially organized learning process, mainly including interactive forms of work.

Gaya pembelajaran adalah cara bagaimana pelajar menyerap dan menyusun maklumat yang diterima. Pendekatan gaya pembelajaran secara umum terbahagi kepada tiga aspek; visual, auditori dan kinestetik. Pertama, gaya visual, yang belajar paling berkesan ketika melihat pembelajaran dengan media gambar. Kedua gaya auditorial, yang berkesan belajar melalui suara yang didengar. Maka gaya pembelajaran pendengaran adalah gaya pembelajaran dengan mendengar. Pelajar dengan gaya pembelajaran ini lebih dominan menggunakan deria pendengaran ketika menjalankan proses pembelajaran dan pengajaran. Gaya pembelajaran visual suka kemahiran dan kemas, ingin bercakap pantas, suka membuat perancangan yang teliti untuk jangka masa depan, sangat terperinci dengan terperinci. Ketiga, gaya aktif, atau apa yang disebut pelajar kinestetik. Sementara itu, gaya pembelajaran kinestetik adalah dengan bergerak, menyentuh, dan bekerja. Mereka belajar dengan mengutamakan perasaan dan pergerakan fizikal mereka. Penerapan gaya pembelajaran ini dalam aktiviti pembelajaran telah menghasilkan pelbagai kesan positif dalam arena pendidikan.

Learning Style: Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic

Abstract: Learning style is the way how students absorb and compose the information received. The learning style approach is generally divided into three aspects; visual, auditory and kinesthetic. First, the visual style, which makes learning the most memorable when looking at learning with image media. Both styles are auditory, which impresses learning through the sound that is heard. Then the hearing learning style is a listening learning style. Students with this learning style are more dominant in using the sense of hearing when carrying out the learning and teaching process. Visual learning style likes skill and order, wants to speak quickly, likes to make careful plans for the future, and is very detailed in detail. Third, active style, or what is called a kinesthetic learner. Meanwhile, the kinesthetic learning style is by moving, touching, and working. They learn by prioritizing their feelings and physical movements. The application of this learning style in learning activities has produced various positive impressions in the educational arena.

Published: April 2022

This paper assessed the effect of armed banditry on cattle and sheep production in kebbi south, Nigeria. Cattle and sheep production has recently come under a big threat due to the challenges of insecurity. Using a multi stage sampling procedure, 60 ruminant animal farmers who were specifically keeping cattle and sheep in the study area were selected for the study. In the first stage, three livestock markets such as Ribah, Maga and Wasagu were purposively selected based on the volume of cattle and sheep sold there. The use of livestock markets was because of the difficulty of accessing the famers in their homes due to the prevalent security challenges in the study area. In the second stage, 60 questionnaires were randomly distributed to cattle and sheep producers identified in the markets. However, only 45 were used due to incomplete information. The information gathered was analyzed using descriptive statistics and five point Likert scale. The study revealed that 66% of the respondent were within the age of 41-60 years, married (93%) and educated (57%). Similarly, majority of the respondents (64%) have large families. According to the study, the most prominent system of production used was Semi-intensive (29%) and forage was the major source of feed (70%). The study concluded that banditry has significantly reduced cattle and sheep production in the study area with untold negative effect on their standard of living and that government should improve security in the study area.
With the Margin: The Theme of Gendered Subaltern in Mamang Dai’s Legends of Pensam
Authors: Sarkar Aninnya , Rai Dr. Indrani Singh
Published: April 2022

Whether it is the pre-colonial, colonial, or post-colonial era, the problems of the indigenous tribal women of North-East India have not changed much. The same scenario is reflected in Mamang Dai’s Legends of Pensam as the women on margin have always retained in the same shape and misery. The gendered subalterns have been suffering in silence accepting their fate or restricting themselves amid their limited demarcated territory in order to survive. Over the years, these fair sexes are not only being ignored and exploited, under the hands of the colonial or elitist masses but also by the patriarchal structure designed in the Indian society. Various types of changes and uncertainties have touched the premises in the land of the Adi tribes, placing the women somewhere inbetween tradition and modernity. Dai in her work has tried to portray the scuffling situations of the Adi women, how they have resisted and quietly tackled those changes, uniquely sculpting their own identity. Keeping those silences and muted existences of the indigenous women in mind, this paper is an earnest attempt to hear the voices of those women or give them a chance to bring their survival complexities in the eyes of mainland India and the world.

Authors: Aktar S. , Rahman S. , Khaton R. , Khatun A. , Sadi M. S. , Gofur M. R.
Published: April 2022

Background and Objective: Necrotic enteritis (NE) has increased in occurrence and severity over the years. The re-emergence of necrotic enteritis has been the most significant threat for the poultry industry. It is one of the most common and economically devastating bacterial diseases in terms of performance, welfare and mortality. So, the present research work was designed to determine the prevalence with a clinicopathological investigation of necrotic enteritis in commercial broiler and Sonali chicken (the common breeds for meat purpose in Bangladesh) at Rajshahi District (the Barind Tract) in Bangladesh. Materials and Methods: A total of 500 (260 Sonali (Fayoumi × RIR) and 250 Broiler (Cobb 500) birds from 10 different commercial poultry farms were used to conduct the present study. The diagnosis of NE was based on history, clinical signs characteristic gross lesions and histopathological findings. Results: The overall prevalence of necrotic enteritis was 7.84 % in chickens, though the incidence rate varied from farms to farms ranging from 4.0 – 11.67%. The incidence of necrotic enteritis was almost 1.5 times in broiler chickens (9.6%) than in Sonali chickens (6.2%). The incidence of necrotic enteritis was varied with season showing peak occurrence in winter season (11.67%), and the lowest incidence was in summer season (3.2%). The major clinical signs observed were severe depression, diarrhoea (shooting type), ruffled feathers, and sudden death. The striking necropsy findings were markedly thickened enteric mucosa covered by tan-orange pseudo-membranes often referred to as a “Turkish towel” in appearance with haemorrhages occasionally and ballooning of intestine with foul smelled gas. Enterohistopathological findings included the coagulative necrosis, increased cellular infiltration in lamina propria, haemorrhage, congestion, disorganization of structure. Conclusion: The study concludes that investigation of NE in commercial chickens based on clinical signs, necropsy and enterohistopathological findings helps to determine the prevalence of NE and also help to adopt prevention and control strategies.
Tackling Natural Resource Depletion and Revenue Decline through Diversification: The Case of Brunei Darussalam
Authors: Radzuan S. , Chatwin Christopher , Hasan Rumy
Published: April 2022

Exports of hydrocarbons have been a great boon to the small state of Brunei Darussalam and, as such, this paper argues that it provides an example of a country that has not been overly afflicted by the “resource curse” or “Dutch disease”. But it has been adversely affected by oil and gas price volatility that inevitably has a profound impact on hydrocarbon exporters, despite resorting to futures markets. Given Brunei’s minimal non-hydrocarbon tradable sectors, and like all other countries that are heavily reliant on the export of hydrocarbons, it is confronted by the iron law of resource depletion, compounded by the volatility of the oil market. This reality has prompted the government of Brunei to embark on industrial diversification. This paper provides 3 hi-tech sectors which can be deemed as comprising the basis for an industrial policy: semi-conductors and fibre optics, hi-tech farming, and advanced manufacturing.

The objective of this work was to explore the dimensions of risk perception, considering the sociological categories of territorial, national, public, citizen, private and Internet security. A cross-sectional and psychometric study was carried out with a non-probabilistic selection of 100 students at a public university who participated in civil protection campaigns. An exploratory factorial structure of seven factors was established with their respective indicators which explained 79% of the total variance, although the research design limited these findings to the research scenario, suggesting the extension of the work towards the relationships between the perceptual structure. e risk with respect to a decision structure and risk behaviors.
Extensive Analysis of Deep Learning-based Deepfake Video Detection
Authors: Myvizhi D. , Miraclin Joyce Pamila J. C.
Published: April 2022

Deepfake is the practice of replacing an existing image or video with someone else’s likeness. Currently, the spread of face-swapping deepfake strategies is increasing, producing a considerable range of naturalistic fake videos that cause danger to everyone. Due to the issue made by deepfake, recognizing between real and fake videos becomes a major issue. Deep learning is an efficient and useful approach for detecting deepfake videos and images. Research in recent years has focused on understanding how deepfake works and a number of deep learning-based approaches that are developed to do so. The aim of this study is to give an in-depth look at how several architectures work, along with the challenges encountered when detecting deepfake videos. It examines the existing deepfake detection methods using machine learning and deep learning approaches.
Medicine as a Public Calling
Authors: Bagley Nicholas
Published: April 2022

The debate over how to tame private medical spending tends to pit advocates of government-provided insurance—a single-payer scheme—against those who would prefer to harness market forces to hold down costs. When it is mentioned at all, the possibility of regulating the medical industry as a public utility is brusquely dismissed as anathema to the American regulatory tradition. This dismissiveness, however, rests on a failure to appreciate just how deeply the public utility model shaped health law in the twentieth century— and how it continues to shape health law today. Closer economic regulation of the medical industry may or may not be prudent, but it is by no means incompatible with our governing institutions and political culture. Indeed, the durability of such regulation suggests that the modern embrace of market-based approaches in the medical industry may be more ephemeral than it seems.
Standing in the Way of the FTAIA: Exceptional Applications of Illinois Brick
Authors: Fischell Jennifer
Published: April 2022

In 1982, Congress enacted the Foreign Antitrust Trade Improvements Act (FTAIA) to resolve uncertainties about the international reach and effect of U.S. antitrust laws. Unfortunately, the FTAIA has provided more questions than answers. It has been ten years since the Supreme Court most recently interpreted the FTAIA, and crucial questions and circuit splits abound. One of these questions is how to understand the convergence of the direct purchaser rule (frequently referred to as the Illinois Brick doctrine) and the FTAIA. Under the direct purchaser rule, only those who purchase directly from antitrust violators are typically permitted to sue under section 4 of the Clayton Act for treble damages. There are several court-created exceptions to this rule that allow indirect purchasers to sue under section 4. This Note addresses the open question of whether courts should apply these exceptions in the FTAIA context. The Seventh Circuit recently discussed this question in Motorola Mobility LLC v. AU Optronics Corp., implying that courts should not recognize Illinois Brick’s exceptions in the FTAIA context. This Note argues for a different interpretation of the case—one that supports the effective deterrence of antitrust violations while vindicating the need to compensate American consumers who are foreseeably, substantially, and directly damaged by foreign anticompetitive conduct. Based on an analysis of the purpose of the Illinois Brick doctrine and the text of the FTAIA, this Note concludes that when an exception to Illinois Brick would permit indirect purchasers to sue in the domestic context, U.S. courts should also allow indirect purchasers to sue under the FTAIA.

The New Unconstitutionality of Juvenile Sex Offender Registration: Suspending the Presumption of Constitutionality for Laws that Burden Juvenile Offenders
Authors: Klein Spencer
Published: April 2022

In Smith v. Doe, the Supreme Court held that Alaska’s sex offender registration and notification statute did not constitute punishment and was therefore not susceptible to challenge under the Ex Post Facto Clause. In reaching that conclusion, the Court looked to the seven factors articulated in Kennedy v. Mendoza-Martinez. To evaluate those factors, the Court applied a presumption of constitutionality, conducting the sort of narrow factual inquiry characteristic of rational basis review. Since Smith, courts have disagreed as to whether sex offender laws are punitive when applied to juveniles, and the Supreme Court has not yet addressed the issue. This Note argues that the Court should suspend the presumption of constitutionality when conducting its ex post facto inquiry for laws that burden juvenile offenders. The Court should do so because the very rationales that underlie the presumption are inapplicable in both the case of juvenile offenders and the ex post facto context. In lieu of rational basis review, this Note proposes a new framework under which the Court may evaluate laws that burden juvenile offenders. Under this new framework, a law is automatically punitive when it activates one or more of three triggers. These triggers are activated when a sanction is (1) irrevocable for life, (2) substantially likely to cause severe psychological trauma, or (3) grossly disproportionate to the culpability of the offender.

The king commands extemporaneous verse composition but is tolerant of scurrilous comments on his person if witty and well-crafted. The necessarily quick-thinking poet must often versify in a reactive mode but succeeds in bringing not only personal agency but criticism of royal rule to the fore. The short narrative also explores the concept oftvíræðior ambivalence in verse, where the insulting runs parallel to the innocuous.
Cord J. Whitaker, Black Metaphors: How Modern Racism Emerged from Medieval Race-Thinking. The Middle Ages Series. Philadelphia, PA: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2019, 247pp.
Authors: Abdelkarim Sherif
Published: April 2022

Professor Whitaker’s debut book-length study states what many now find obvious: that race always mattered. This was only recently made obvious thanks to the many new works referenced in Black Metaphors. Contributing to a movement among humanistic scholars that mines
representations of race beyond its early modern ascriptions, Whitaker’s study “seeks to push the timeline back much further, to at least the European Middle Ages, with roots in the medieval reception of classical antiquity” (1). His retreat reveals that “black is not
all bad,” nor is its contrast with white predictably static (82). Not only can one not conceive of black without conjuring its white complement, or damnation redemption, or past and present, black metaphors themselves stand for a thing and its opposite. Black plugs in for “sin
or salvation, for lack or presence; white for presence or absence, for purity or loss” (7). According to the many texts presented, medieval Europe understood blackness to transcend the racial or material. It was a metaphor, capable of touching all peoples with positive, negative, and
neutral significations (say, repentance, sin, or death).

Published: April 2022

Stunting is an overview of stunted growth as a result of a lack of nutrient intake in the long term. According to the WHO Child Growth Standard, stunting is based on the index of body length for age (PB/U) or height for age (TB/U) with a limit (z-score) of less than -2 SD. This study will describe the pattern of parenting and the incidence of stunting in toddlers with UPTD. Banjarangkan II Community Health Center. This research is an observational study using a qualitative approach with a cross-sectional study design. This research was conducted on 8 mothers of stunting toddlers in the UPT working area. Banjarangkan II Community Health Center The instruments used in this study was an in-depth interview guide and observations on feeding habits, parenting habits, hygiene habits, and habits of receiving health services, as well as measuring children's height. In this study, it was found that the parenting pattern of mothers with stunting toddlers was still not good, seen in the habits of feeding, caregiving, hygiene, and getting health services. It is necessary to increase a mother's knowledge about parenting, both from feeding habits, caregiving, hygiene, and getting health services.

Published: April 2022

Environmental education is vital to promote knowledge, skills, attitudes, and practices to solve environmental problems, in the long run building a sustainable environment for current and future generations. This study aimed at determining the influence of Environmental Literacy (EL) on the practice of Environmental Sustainability (ES) among secondary school students in Busia District in Eastern Uganda. Using parallel convergent mixed methods and cross-sectional survey designs, 466 participants including 409 randomly selected students in 12 secondary schools filled the Environmental Literacy Survey (ELS) tool and questionnaire on the practice of ES. Forty-eight students from 6 randomly selected schools in 6 groups participated in focus group discussion (FGD), and 9 teachers of Geography, Agriculture, and Biology from 3 schools participated in an FGD. The results indicate that the students had a functional level of EL (M = 115.72, SD = 18.27), and a moderate level of practice of ES (M = 38.83, SD = 8.39). There was a significant relationship between EL and ES (r = .446, p < .01) which suggested that the secondary school curriculum yielded a functional EL. The level of EL was higher than the level of practice of ES. We recommend that the teaching profession should address the gap in attitude and practice by balancing the learning experiences in the school curriculum on the environmental knowledge, attitudes towards the environment as well as behaviour and practice of environmental sustainability.
The role of physical activity against chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy: a narrative review
Authors: Diotti Daniele , Puce Luca , Mori Laura , Trompetto Carlo , Saretti Elena , Contenti Cecilia , Marinelli Lucio
Published: April 2022

Several studies investigated the side effect of adjuvant cancer treatments, and different types of preventive techniques or treatments have been assessed. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is the most common neurological side effect. Exercise training has been widely studied as an adjuvant therapy to prevent CIPN and improve post-chemotherapy functional outcome and quality of life (QoL). This narrative review aims to summarize the data obtained from the latest studies about physical activity (PA) for the prevention and treatment of CIPN and associated QoL measures. Literature research was conducted to obtain studies including PA interventions for patients with CIPN. Ten studies met inclusion criteria and were therefore summarized and discussed, focusing on exercise type and functional outcome. It seems clear that, regardless of the type of exercise, PA plays a positive role in the treatment of CIPN, providing a significant symptom improvement. There has been no standardization of type, quantity, and intensity of PA administered to the subjects in the various studies probably due to a physiological difference between samples, grade of neuropathy, and difference among therapies.
Singularity Behaviour of the Density, Information, and Entropy Functions Defining a Uniform Non-stationary Stochastic Process
Authors: Berber Stevan
Published: April 2022

Precise definitions and derivatives of the time-dependent continuous and discrete uniform probability density functions and related information and entropy functions are investigated. A stochastic system is formed that can represent a uniform noise source having a time-dependent variance and forming a uniform non-stationary stochastic process. The information and entropy function of the system are defined, and their properties are investigated in the time domain, including the limit cases defined for infinite and zero values of the time-dependent variance. In particular, the singularity properties of the entropy function will be investigated when the time-dependent variance reaches infinity. Like in thermodynamics, where the physical entropy of a system increases all the time, the information entropy of the stochastic system in information theory is also expected to increase towards infinity when the variance increases. All investigations are conducted for both the continuous and discrete random variables and their density functions. The presented theory is of particular interest in analyzing the Gaussian density function having infinite variance and tending to a uniform density function.

Ecosystem disservices in inclusive urban planning - the case of Mahiliou (Belarus)
Authors: Skryhan Hanna
Published: April 2022

Ecosystem services are the benefits that a society gains from nature. In the perception of nature, no less important are those functions and properties of ecosystems that cause discomfort or damage, the so-called ecosystem disservices. They, like ecosystem services, are fundamental to the interaction between the people and urban nature. In the practice of urban development, there is a need for decisions that would integrate into planning projects that provide a comfortable urban environment for citizens, not only ecosystem services, but also disservices.
This study focuses on analyzing ecosystem disservices in urban landscapes and examines them from the perspective of inclusive urban planning. Based on a comprehensive stakeholder analysis conducted over the past decade in the city of Mahilioŭ (Belarus), a decision-making tool has been proposed that helps to identify ecosystem disservices and develop an appropriate strategy to reduce or eliminate them, which would ensure the development of urban green and blue infrastructure in terms of inclusive planning and in a participatory manner.
The developed tool is illustrated by the three specific cases related to the urban development of the city of Mahilioŭ. The first case demonstrates the possibilities for transforming the position and attitude of stakeholders to the problem, which are worth being considered and which are still not taken into account when making decisions. The second case illustrates the situation of active public resistance to urban development projects, if during communication (public discussions) they could not be convinced. The third case shows the process of transforming public opinion about natural ecosystems in a city and converting potential ecosystem disservices into valuable ecosystem services.
Formation of ethnic and language structure of the population of the Republic of Belarus and ethnodemographic forecast until 2069
Authors: Manakov Andrei
Published: April 2022

The Republic of Belarus is characterized by unique features of ethnolinguistic processes in the post-Soviet space, namely, the multidirectional changes in the ethnic structure of the population and in the use of the Russian and Belarusian languages. The study is devoted to identifying the specifics of the demographic reproduction of the most numerous ethnic groups of the Republic of Belarus in connection with the changing ethnic and language policy, as well as forecasting their numbers until 2069. The study uses a modified cohort-component forecasting method, which is based on the shift of ages, and its advantage is taking into account the uneven distribution of the population by age and sex cohorts.
If the trends in the self-identification of the population that emerged in the post-Soviet period persist, a significant increase in the share of Belarusians is expected in the next half century, while the share of almost all other ethnic groups will decrease (Jews and Gypsies may be an exception). The most significant losses in numbers and proportion are expected in two ethnic groups - Russians and Ukrainians. The number of Lithuanians may also noticeably decrease, and to a lesser extent, Poles and Tatars. While maintaining the current geopolitical situation in the coming decades, we should expect a further increase in the proportion of the population that calls Russian their native language and the language of home communication. In the event of a change in the geopolitical vector to a pro-Western one, a slow decrease in the proportion of the population that calls Russian as their native language is possible. With the strengthening of political integration with Russia, processes of a reverse change of identity to Russian are not ruled out.
Responsible business conduct in the field of ecotourism: conceptual framework, supply chains, regional formalization
Authors: Tarasionak Aliaksandr
Published: April 2022

The article examines the problem of introducing the concept of responsible business conduct in the field of ecotourism. The regulatory mechanisms for responsible business conduct by the OECD, the Alliance for Sustainable Hospitality and UNEP are analyzed in the context of their implementation in the field of ecotourism. Significant examples of regional formalization of responsible business conduct mechanisms such as Kenozero National Park (Russia) and Green Tourism Business Scheme (Great Britain) are considered.
The scientific novelty of the research lies in considering the organizational aspect of ecotourism through the concept of responsible business conduct, as well as identifying the features of its implementation in the field of ecotourism.
As a result of the study, it was concluded that in the field of ecotourism, the implementation of the concept of responsible business conduct has a pronounced focus on environmental protection and consumer satisfaction, leaving out of direct sight the areas of human rights, fair labor, fair finance and anti-corruption, which are no less important in the global mechanisms of the OECD, UNEP and the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance. Responsible business institutions in the field of ecotourism in Russia are currently being formed spontaneously and without formalization. An example of the regional formalization of responsible business institutions in the field of ecotourism is the Green Tourism Business Scheme, which stimulates the creation of responsible supply chains in the formation of regional tourism products.

Sollte Deutschland den Ausbau von erneuerbaren Energien und die dazugehörigen Speicher- und Umwandlungstechnologien nicht drastisch erhöhen und besser subventionieren, so droht eine stärkere globale Erwärmung als bisher angenommen. Die Förderung von Umwandlungstechnologien wie beispielsweise Power-to-Gas-Anlagen ist daher zwingend notwendig.

ABSTRACT

 

UMKM Arumanis Haji Ardi is a household industry that produces sweet arum located in Berbah, Sleman, D.I. Yogyakarta. Companies often have difficulty meeting consumer demand in a timely manner. The problem of improper delivery schedule of the order is caused by scheduling the packing process which often experiences delays.  The purpose of this research is to find out the comparison of completion time, and know the methods that can complete the production process at the shortest. Campbell Dudeck Smith's scheduling method is a scheduling process based on the smallest working time, and having the advantage of being able to provide many scheduling alternatives. The Nawas, Enscore, and Ham method is that scheduling or assignments with a larger total process time should be given greater priority than the smaller total process time. Given the importance of the proper scheduling process, the author wants to do a scheduling analysis of the Packing process using the Campbell Dudeck Smith and Nawas, Enscore, and Ham methods. The results of the research comparison of scheduling time applied by the company have a sequence of 1-2-3-4 with a makepan of 44,395,142.92 seconds. Campbell Dudeck Smith was 4-3-2-1 with 44,335,921.922 seconds. Scheduling with nawas, Enscore, and Ham method has a sequence of 2-1-3-4 with makespan 44,515.921.12 seconds. The most appropriate method used is the Campbell Dudeck Smith method because it has the smallest makespan which is 44,335,921.12 seconds with a percentage of comparison between cds and NEH methods is 0.4%.

Published: April 2022

The problem of poverty in fishing communities has become a cultural cycle. The issue has become a long causal chain of various aspects that is difficult to unravel over the years. The number of fishers is decreasing while the potential of marine resources has not been fully explored. It happens because poverty alleviation for fishing communities is only around 1% per year. The poverty alleviation program is closely related to the empowerment of fishing communities in running their businesses. So far, the fishing community's business problems have focused on weather/climate, infrastructure, technology (very little touched/used), and capital. However, not all fishing communities are not prosperous. There are different levels of exploration of marine potential in other areas. The Muncar fishing community is included in the successful category with Indonesia's second-largest business scale. The Muncar fisherman's business system, although applying the general Juragan-Worker method, has a traditional fishing method called Slerek, a boat system in pairs, one for fishing, the other providing accommodation. The Slerek system promises optimal catch. The catch-sharing system is 50:50 for the skipper and his group of workers. The Muncar fishing community business system can be adopted into an empowering marine worker business system after several modifications and adjustments have been made regarding the remaining problems.

Review question / Objective: Does a whey protein supplementation maintain or increase muscle mass, strength, and function in healthy older adults? Condition being studied: Sarcopenia is a state of age-related progressive loss of muscle mass and function. This syndrome is considered an undesirable consequence of aging, contributing to various negative health outcomes including increased risk of chronic metabolic diseases, physical disabilities, falls and fractures, reduced independence, frailty, and hospitalization. Due to population ageing in recent decades, the prevalence of sarcopenia has been growing considerably worldwide. In this context, sarcopenia has globally affected more than 29% of community-dwelling and 14-33% of institutionalized older adult populations. Thus, sarcopenia has been considered to be an important health concern. Indeed, it has been estimated that 500 million older adults would suffer from sarcopenia by 2050.

Aim: Early postnatal discharge of newborns leads to the risk of hospital readmission, mostly due to neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Therefore, early identification of newborns at high risk of hyperbilirubinemia is important. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether cord blood red cell distribution width (RDW) levels could be used to identify newborns at high risk of developing hyperbilirubinemia.

Material and methods: The data of all term infants who were born in our hospital between January and June 2017 whose cord blood samples were examined were reviewed retrospectively. Cord blood RDW, cord blood bilirubin, newborn/mother’s blood groups and direct Coombs’test (DCT) results were analyzed.

Results: A total 175 newborns were included. Phototherapy was required 58 newborns in the first 48 hours postnatally. The mean cord blood RDW levels among newborns with hyperbilirubinemia was significantly higher compared to controls (18±1.6 vs. 16.4±1.0, p
Misaligned Spinning Binary Black Hole Mergers in Hot Magnetized Plasma

We present general relativistic magnetohydrodynamical simulations of equal-mass spinning black hole binary mergers embedded in a magnetized gas cloud. We focus on the effect of the spin orientation relative to the orbital angular momentum on the flow dynamics, mass accretion rate, and Poynting luminosity. We find that, across the inspiral, the gas accreting onto the individual black holes concentrates into disklike overdensities whose angular momenta are oriented toward the spin axes and that persist until merger. We identify quasiperiodic modulations occurring in the mass accretion rate at the level of ∼1%–20%, evolving in parallel with the gravitational-wave chirp. The similarity between the accretion rate time series and the gravitational strain is a consequence of the interplay between strong, dynamical gravitational fields and magnetic fields in the vicinity of the inspiraling black holes. This result suggests that quasiperiodicity in the premerger accretion rate of massive binaries is not exclusive of environments in which the black holes are embedded in a circumbinary accretion disk and could provide an additional useful signature of electromagnetic emission concurrent to low-frequency gravitational-wave detection.
