The Matthew effect in CALL: Examining the equity of a novel intelligent writing assistant as English language support
Authors: Gayed John , Jonson Carlon May Kristine , Cross Jeffrey
Published: July 2022

As practitioners introduce new educational technologies into their classrooms, the potential for unintended outcomes from their use might arise. One such potential negative artifact is an increase in the achievement gaps between learners, where high performers tend to benefit more from newly introduced educational technologies than their peers. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as the Matthew effect. In this study, we leverage natural language processing (NLP) based transformers to introduce English language support to English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners while they are in the writing process. A web-based application was created that uses next-word prediction and automatic reverse translation to help EFL participants in their writing.
Adult English language learners from professional development language schools participated in a counterbalanced repeated measures study. To understand the presence of the Matthew effect, learners were grouped based on their self-reported EIKEN scores. Their performance according to two writing factors as well as their perceived cognitive load while using the tool were measured to establish which groups benefit the most from using the tool. This research sets the stage for understanding how emerging tools can
support learning without exacerbating Matthew effects. These effects should be
considered in both the development and application of educational technology.

Authors: Rukmini Ni Ketut Sri , A.A. Sagung Putri Risa Andriani
Published: July 2022

The partner in implementing this community service program (PKM) is the Farmer Group located in Sanur Kauh Village, South Denpasar District, Denpasar. The group is cultivating organic plants by utilizing organic waste such as dry leaves, household waste, canang residues and cow and chicken manure. The group does not yet know how to properly process organic waste to produce good organic fertilizer. During this time, the garbage is just piled up just like that and let the decomposer process take place naturally. The group also does not know the proper composition of organic waste so as to produce a complete organic fertilizer containing NPK nutrients.  The method that will be carried out in the implementation of this training is by interviewing, face-to-face methods, counseling and direct practice, Gradually the activity will be carried out: First, we will hold counseling on the use of local microorganisms as organic fertilizers. Second, we will provide direct training on the use of local microorganism (MOL), carried out several evaluations The third time, if the PKM activity will end we will motivate farmers so that in growing vegetables such as lettuce, kale, green vegetables and long beans by applying the use of MOL as organic fertilizer. From this activity, the external target to be achieved is that training participants understand how to use MOL as organic fertilizer to get healthy organic vegetables. The farmer women's group was able to make MOL which was used as a physically quality liquid organic fertilizer. Partners by 70% understand and are able to apply liquid organic fertilizer from household waste. Partners were able to reduce production costs by 25%, partners were able to reduce organic waste that causes environmental pollution by 80%, partners were able to increase crop production by 25% thereby increasing group profits.
Determining the optimum number of well tests to improve the success of the applied methods of reservoir and bottomhole treatment
Authors: Iktissanov V.A.
Published: July 2022

Not infrequently, top management of oil companies challenge the wisdom of well tests. The reason is the production losses caused by the required well shutdowns and the costs of conducting and interpreting. A method for determining the optimum number of well tests is proposed and economically validated by setting probabilistic estimates of success (or failure) of improved oil recovery and enhanced oil recovery treatments and calculation of the costs of the pressure transient analysis considering production losses during well shutdowns. Another method to solve the same problem is also discussed in this paper. It is based on setting of tolerable error or standard deviation. It is found that for the samples of various parameters (pressure, production rates, injectivity, watercut) dimensionless standard deviation vs. the number of wells involved in surveys is practically similar, so, the obtained dependence is close to the Pareto distribution. The calculations by both methods show quite similar results; still, it is recommended to perform calculations for each particular field.

Authors: Muhammad Riaz
Published: July 2022

Objective: To assess the plasma MPO and cTnI levels in patients with cardiac chest pain of 4-6 hours duration. As cardiac troponins rise late almost 6-8 hours after the onset of myocardial infarction, another marker is needed to make earlier diagnosis and in those where ECG findings are nonspecific. Study Design: Cross Sectional study. Setting: Emergency Department and Central Laboratory of Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) Lahore. Pathology Department and Central Laboratory of Postgraduate Medical Institute (PGMI)/ Lahore General Hospital (LGH)/ Ameer ud Din Medical College (AMC) Lahore. Period: January 2018 to December 2018. Material & Methods: Eighty subjects were selected who presented with typical chest pain. Two samples from each subject were taken, first sample for MPO within two hours and the second sample for cTnI four to six hours after the start of chest pain. MPO samples were taken in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and cTnI samples in heparin tubes. Results: Out of 80 patients, the mean age was 56.40 + 11.39 years. Only one (1.2%) patient was found positive (MPO > 5 u/ml) and the mean MPO was 2.10 + 1.35 u/ml. Among these patients, 25.0% had 0.04-0.3 ng/ml (suspected ischemia) while majority 65.0% patients had cTI >0.3 ng/ml (positive) and mean cTnI was 5.42 + 1.16 ng/ml. Conclusion: MPO samples taken within two hours of chest pain, 1.2% patients were positive. Tests carried out for cTnI taken four to six hours after chest pain, 65.0% patients were positive.

This study aims to present the translation and adaptation of the Job Dedication Scale into Czech. The final sample consisted of 142 workers in the social services of retirement homes across the Czech Republic, evaluated by their direct superiors on the Job Dedication Scale. The translation took the form of back translations using three independent translators. Descriptive statistics showed the negative skewness of the given ratings and the reduced variability of responses for some items. Despite the high value of internal consistency, the confirmatory factor analysis of the full version of the scale did not demonstrate agreement with the obtained data. Following the results of factor analyses and modification indices, residual correlations between selected items were allowed, which increased the quality of the tested model. The modified model showed a good match with the data. Values of the internal consistency of the scale were excellent. Eliminating any item would reduce this value. The small and specific sample is one of the limits of the study. Another limit is an approach to assessing the job dedication of the employee using only one evaluator.
Strategie dlouhodobé léčby psychofarmaky a jejich vysazování

Published: July 2022

Pharmacological treatment of psychiatric disorders is part of the complex care of patients with mental health problems, in addition to psychotherapy and counselling, behavioral activation and psychosocial rehabilitation. The choice of psychiatric medication and the strategy for its administration should be individualized to the needs of the patient. The strategy for the administration of psychiatric medication should include from the outset considerations about the duration of administration and the possibility of discontinuation. In addition to possible side effects, patients themselves ask when the medication will be discontinued at the first consultation. This neglected topic is coming to the fore with the changing concepts of treatment, cure, and recovery in psychiatry. It is appropriate that the psychiatrist, and not the patient, should be the one who discontinues the medication. Well-conducted, long-term studies are the basis for responsible decisions about when and how to discontinue the medication.

Towards Identifying Factors Influencing Mobile Government Adoption: An Exploratory Literature Review
Authors: Eibl Gregor , Lampoltshammer Thomas , Temple Lucy
Published: July 2022

Mobile government enhances public sector activities by using mobile technologies, such as handheld devices, smartphones, and laptops that promise anytime, anywhere services. Mobile government solutions are successful if many users adopt them. For this reason, the determinant factors of adoption are extremely important. Despite many studies conducted by various researchers in the field of mobile government adoption, most have focused on technology or e-government adoption models as their basis. To fill this gap, the paper collects possible driving factors, grouped into key factors, for mobile government adoption. The systematic literature review, which included 54 journal articles, led to the identification of 12 key factors affecting mobile government adoption, comprising 87 components. Some of these replicate previously identified factors in technology and e-government adoption models, yet the literature presented us with new specifics in mobile and government, such as the benefits that mobility brings and the influence of trust on adoption.

Switching the Backbeat
Authors: Cairns Zachary
Published: July 2022

This article explores manipulations of the nearly ever-present backbeat in rock music from the “long” 1980s. The status of the backbeat as not only metrically consonant but a defining feature of rock meter is discussed within the context of dual-aspect meter. Operating from the assumption that isochronous snare drum hits in rock are heard as a backbeat, placing those snare drum hits on beats otherthan 2 and 4 creates a particular kind of metrical dissonance, which I refer to as abackbeat switch. I examine two ways in which a backbeat switch occurs, thequick flipand thepolymetric pogo. A quick flip usually occurs at a phrase break, where the drummer apparently (but intentionally) “drops a beat” and then resumes the backbeat pattern, thus shifting it “to the left.” A polymetric pogo involves a situation where the backbeat-insistent drummer is pitted against the rest of the band playing in an odd-cardinality meter, resulting in snare hits that bounce back and forth between even-numbered beats and odd-numbered beats every other measure. Short examples by The Cars, Paul Weller, Steve Vai, and Sting are used to demonstrate the article’s fundamental concepts, and longer examples by Tesla, Jerry Goldsmith, and Extreme place these concepts into larger contexts.
Klangfarbenmelodie in 1911: Timbre’s Functional Roles in Webern’s Opp. 9 and 10
Authors: Zeller Matthew
Published: July 2022

Anton Webern’s pre-World War I aphoristic works sometimes appear to defy comprehension, but through the lens of Klangfarbenmelodie organizing principles of this music come into focus. Klangfarbenmelodie is a multifaceted principle of musical organization. It is how Klangfarbenfolgen—timbral progressions—are structured into music. This article explores timbral progressions in Webern’s music and some of the types of timbre-based musical logic that organize them. Timbre and pitch are simultaneous, codependent, and symbiotic. With the notion of timbre as the totality of musical tone, this article examines how timbral-registral space is employed to compose timbral trajectories like expansions, contractions, and crossing lines. In addition to drawing out timbral lines, the analyses focus on how timbre helps delineate pitch constructs, timbre’s role in structuring gesture and theme, and various types of timbral symmetry. Rather than a shift away from pitch analysis, this article proposes a repositioning toward the inclusion of timbre in analytic discourses.
Billy Joel’s Enharmonic Duplicity
Authors: Aziz Andrew
Published: July 2022

This article investigates Billy Joel’s chromatic excursions in his contemplative songs, many of which infuse modal mixture chromaticism against a prevailing major key backdrop. In particular, I spotlight Joel’s exploration of “enharmonic duplicity,” in which chromaticism reflects the complexity of human nature through enharmonic transformations. Part 1 explores enharmonicism in “Honesty,” the first of several analyzed B♭ major songs that reinterpret mixture scale degrees (".fn_flat('').fn_scaledegree(3)." and ".fn_flat('').fn_scaledegree(6).") along its route; I also consider how Joel introduces mixture in his opening descending bass lines. Part 2 explores the harmonic and functional ambiguity in the complex song, “Laura.” Part 3 considers the enharmonic complexities of “Vienna” through the lens of the opening bar’s augmented triad; I also consider comparative examples of augmented triads in “Zanzibar” and “Where’s the Orchestra?”. In response to Joel’s vast exposure to the common-practice canon, my approach fuses perspectives from nineteenth-century music with contemporary theories of pop/rock harmony.

Sumber Harapan Village is a cultural tourism village known for its songket weaving crafts. Another tourism potential that the village has is a large river that stretches between settlers, wooden roads along the river banks, traditional houses, customs and culture. However, the existence of supporting facilities and infrastructure is still lacking and the arrangement of the village area has not been done properly. Through the PPDM program, the team make serious efforts to solve the through various activities that have been agreed together with mitra. The results of the activities that have been carried out through this program are the creation of plant gates, environmental arrangements in front of the weaving gazebo, the arrangement of the road to the weaving gazebo, the creation of a rest place, the procurement of tourism supporting facilities in the form of canoes and fittings, and the installation of the iconic sign of the tourist village. The results of the service have a major impact on the village community of Sumber Harapan. The existence of plant gates and village icon sign becomes a new photo spot that is crowded. The existence of supporting facilities such as canoes and resting places provides convenience for visitors. Many tourist visits have an economic impact on the villagers of Sumber Harapan in the form of increasing income and potentially opening up new business opportunities such as food stalls, souvenirs or as providers of services such as homestays or guesthouse.

With the rise in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and greater awareness of sustainable development, CSR is rapidly evolving and firms’ involvement is increasing. However, the enforcement of mandatory disclosure does not necessarily mean firms will respond and go beyond these legislations. Thus, the underlying premise of positive financial outcomes could encourage firms to act beyond legislative compliance. This study first examined the current nature and extent of a firm’s CSR disclosure (CSRD), as measured by CSR dimensions workplace, marketplace, community, and environment. CSRD was measured through content analysis, through annual reports of 97 manufacturing firms in Malaysia from 2017 to 2019. A CSR disclosure index was adopted for this study. This study also determined the impact of CSRD on corporate financial performance (CFP) and identified which CSRD dimension had the greatest impact on CFP. Firm size, measured by the level of assets, sales, and market capitalisation, as well as earnings per share were the control variables for this study. Data were analysed using Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression analysis. It was found that CSRD levels in manufacturing firms in Malaysia were still low and there was a mixed relationship between CSRD and CFP. The findings suggest that the relationship between CSR and CFP may be curvilinear. It was also found that community, workplace, and marketplace related responsibility activities affected ROA the most, whereas the marketplace affected Tobin’s Q the most.
Temeljne značajke polupredsjedničkog sustava

Published: July 2022

Maurice Duverger popularizirati kao novi model političkog sustava. Različitost pojedinih definicija polupredsjedničke vlade i njihovi nedostatci naznačuju nepostojanje konsenzusa o temeljnim značajkama toga sustava što posljedično omogućuje da se politički sustavi promatraju ili kao parlamentarni ili kao polupredsjednički, ovisno o značajkama koje se koriste u pojedinim definicijama. Na temelju analize izvornih polupredsjedničkih modela (Weimarski ustav, Ustav francuske Pete Republike) u radu se nastoji ponuditi jednu sveobuhvatniju definiciju polupredsjedničke vlade kao sustava predsjedničke dominacije u političkom sustavu. U tom se smislu taj sustav definira kao sustav u kojem: 1. predsjednika države neposredno izabiru građani, odnosno posredno izborni kolegij u kojem ne prevladava predstavničko tijelo ili je ono isključeno iz njega; 2. njegov se mandat ne može okončati političkom odlukom predstavničkoga tijela; 3. je on stvarni šef izvršne vlasti, a obavlja je osobno i putem vlade koju predlaže parlamentu i 4. temelj njegova ključnoga položaja unutar izvršne vlasti određeni su ustavni prerogativi (raspuštanje parlamenta, imenovanje i razrješenje vlade) i/ili liderski položaj u stranci/stranačkoj koaliciji koja ima većinu zastupnika u parlamentu.
European Union health policy after the pandemic: an opportunity to tackle health inequalities?
Authors: Brooks Eleanor
Published: July 2022

COVID-19 has exposed and exacerbated the health inequalities across and between European Union member states. It has also raised the profile of EU health policy and the highlighted the value of European cooperation in health. Early failures to respond adequately, coupled with this increased salience, have given rise to a series of initiatives designed to strengthen and expand the EU’s role in health. This presents an opportunity to address the imbalances in the EU’s institutional and legal structure which prevent it from addressing health inequalities more effectively. Drawing on changes underway in the public health, internal market and fiscal governance elements of EU health policy, this paper explores the potential for the post-pandemic EU health policy framework to better support the reduction of health inequalities.
paródia de notícias como jornalismo conotativo

As paródias de notícias, manifestação tradicional de humor no jornalismo, tornaram-se muito populares nas redes sociais, podendo se confundir com as chamadas fake news. Buscando um caminho para uma distinção entre essas duas manifestações, partimos da análise de exemplos históricos de paródias publicadas no jornal alternativo O Pasquim na década de 1970 e exemplos recentes de paródias veiculadas no site de humor O Sensacionalista entre 2018 e 2020, para identificar elementos do que propomos classificar como jornalismo conotativo, um jornalismo que não se destina a uma leitura literal e critica, por meio do humor, os procedimentos do próprio jornalismo.
Penerapan Prinsip Restorative Justice Terhadap Pelaku Tindak Pidana Lanjut Usia (Studi Tentang Penerapan Pendekatan Keadilan Restoratif Dalam Praktek Penegakan Hukum)
Authors: Adinata Kadek Diva Firman
Published: July 2022

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh tindak pidana lanjut usia dengan menggunakankeadilan restoratif (restorative justice). Sebagai dasar pertimbangan untuk tidakmenjatuhkan pidana atau mengenakan tindakan dengan mempertimbangkan segi keadilandan kemanusiaan, sehingga meski pelaku tindak pidana usia lanjut terbukti bersalah, tidakperlu diputus dengan pidana penjara, bilamana perlu perbuatannya dimaafkan. Permasalahan pokok yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini dibatasi sebagai berikut: (1) Apakah prinsip restorative justice terhadap perkara pelaku tindak pidana lanjut usia dapat diterapkan?; (2) Faktor apa yang menjadi kendala bagi Hakim dalam menerapkan prinsip restorative justice terhadap perkara pelaku tindak pidana lanjut usia?. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini mempergunakan pendekatan doktriner. Dalam penelitian doktriner, peneliti akan melakukan kajian secara doktriner terhadap obyek penelitian yang berupa nilai, asas dan norma hukum positif terutama mengenai peraturan perundang-undangan. Hasil penelitian adalah : (1) Dalam hal kasus tindak pidana yang dilakukan oleh lansia, maka keadilan restoratif setidaknya bertujuan untuk memberikan pelindungan kepada lansia mengingat kelemahan dan keterbatasan yang ada pada mereka. Pelaku tindak pidana lansia memiliki keterbatasan beraktivitas secara fisik, psikis, sosial, dan ekonomi, karenanya perlu pelindungan. Pelaku lansia perlu pemeliharaan kesehatan dan mempersiapkan diri pada kematian. Namun, di sisi lain kepentingan korban dan/atau keluarganya perlu mendapat perhatian, karena menurut prinsip dasar keadilan restoratif korbanlah yang merupakan pihak pertama yang paling dirugikan karena terjadinya tindak pidana. Dalam hal ini korban berhak memperoleh ganti rugi dari terdakwa/terpidana; (2) Upaya hukum atas permaafan hakim adalah berupa banding. Karena apabila mencermati esensi dari banding adalah berbicara mengenai adanya fakta-fakta hukum (judex faxtie) yang terungkap dipersidangan yang tidak dipertimbangkan atau kesalahan dalam mempertimbangkan fakta hukum yang kemudian dirumuskan menjadi putusan. Selain dari pada itu merujuk pada upaya hukum banding diterapkan untuk putusan pemidanaan, hal ini berarti upaya banding diterapkan untuk terbuktinya suatu tindak pidana. Sehingga merujuk pada tindak pidana yang telah terbukti dalam putusan permaafan, maka upaya hukumnya adalah banding. Kesimpulan dari hasil penelitian yaitu : (1) Praktek penyelesaian perkara pidana terhadap tindak pidana yang dilakukan oleh lanjut usia adalah dengan mekanisme sebagaimana diatur di dalam Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Pidana (KUHAP). Hendaknya proses penyelesaian perkara pidana terhadap tindak pidana yang dilakukan oleh lanjut usia dengan cara restorative justice (2) Kebijakan penyelesaian perkara pidana melalui restorative justice terhadap tindak pidana yang dilakukan oleh lanjut usia belum diatur dalam KUHAP sekarang ini.

Since its introduction as an analytic and theoretical tool for the examination of racism in education, CRT scholarship has proliferated as the most visible critical theory of race in educational research. Whereas CRT’s popularity can be viewed as a welcome sign, scholars continually caution against its misappropriation and overuse, which dilute its criticality. We draw from the cautionary ethos of this canon of literature as the impetus for examining CRT’s terrain in social studies education research. Starting from Ladson-Billings’s watershed edited CRT text on race and social studies in 2003, this study provides a comprehensive theoretical review of scholarly literature in the social studies education field pertinent to the nexus of CRT, racialized citizenship, and race(ism). To guide our review, we asked how social studies education scholars have defined and used CRT as an analytic and theoretical framework in social studies education research from 2004 to 2019, as well as how scholars have positioned CRT within social studies education research to foreground the relationship between citizenship and race. Overall, findings from our theoretical review illustrated that contrary to the proliferation of CRT in educational research, CRT was slow to catch on as a theoretical and analytic framework in social studies education, as only seven of the articles in our analysis were published between 2004 and 2010. However, CRT emerged as a viable framework for the examination of race, racism, and racialized citizenship between 2011 and 2019, with a majority of these studies emphasizing (a) the centrality of race as a core tenet of CRT, (b) idealist interrogations of race, (c) the perspectives of teachers of color and White teachers in learning how to teach about race, and (d) the role of race and racism in curricular analyses that serve as counternarrative to the master script of the nation’s linear social progress in social studies education.
Collected Works, Part 1
Authors: Notari Angelo
Published: July 2022

These volumes bring together, for the first time in a critical edition, the complete music of Angelo Notari (1566/1573–1663), an Italian musician who worked in England from 1611. An important aspect of this edition is the inclusion of a large corpus of works newly attributed to Notari. This music appears in two surviving manuscripts (a score book and a fragmentary set of parts) copied by Notari and a set of manuscript parts copied by a London associate, Stephen Bing. The sources are examined in detail, and the reasoning for the attributions is made clear. The edition also includes a number of arrangements of music by other composers that appear in the Notari manuscripts; these range from ornamented versions and variant readings to reworkings that together represent the full gamut of compositional practice in the late sixteenth century and in the first half of the seventeenth century.

El test de Turing en Ex Machina: ¿Es Ava un sistema intencional?
Authors: Caycedo-Castro Maria Paola , Pinto-Bustamante Boris Julián
Published: July 2022

El presente artículo aborda el problema de la interacción entre seres humanos y la inteligencia artificial a partir del test de Turing representado en la película Ex Machina. Se revisan algunas de las principales perspectivas en relación con la filosofía de la mente y se analiza el problema que plantea la película, en cuanto a si Ava, la robot humanoide, supera el test de Turing, a partir de tres hipótesis: los estados mentales descritos por John Searle constituyen las tres dimensiones del mundo psíquico y la deliberación moral: la dimensión fáctica de la percepción, la dimensión estimativa de los valores y la dimensión pragmática de las acciones. La segunda hipótesis afirma que las ideas constituyen estados mentales intencionales, unidades de trasmisión cultural que, asociadas a estados emocionales, constituyen los sentimientos como fenómenos neuroculturales. La tercera hipótesis afirma que la comunidad de significados emergente a partir del vínculo entre afectos y sistemas simbólicos-culturales puede estar constituida, tanto por seres humanos como por sistemas algorítmicos. En este sentido, la prueba de la inteligencia artificial fuerte consiste en la constatación en tales sistemas de estados mentales afectivos (valorativos) mediados por la interacción cultural.

Published: July 2022

We describe four new nodulose-spored species of Inocybe from tropical regions of Africa: I. beninensis, I. flavipes, I. fuscobrunnea and I. pallidiangulata. The new species are recognised based on morphological data and phylogenetic analyses of ITS, 28S and
RPB2 sequences. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that I. flavipes and I. beninensis are part of a subclade leading to the I. calida group. Inocybe fuscobrunnea appears sister to the I. asterospora group. Inocybe pallidiangulata is nested within
a clade of mainly tropical species from South Asia, Africa, and South America, close to the subclade of I. lilacinosquamosa and I. ayangannae from Guyana. Complete descriptions and illustrations, including photographs and line drawings, and a key to nodulose-spored taxa of tropical
African species of Inocybe are provided.

Keanekaragaman ikan diperairan Indonesia sangat melimpah jumlahnya, salah satunya perairan tambak yang terdapat di Jeneberang Kabupaten Gowa. Ikan sebagai salah satu organisme yang hidup di perairan perlu dijaga kelestariannya karena memiliki jenis keanekaragaman yang sangat banyak. Langkah awal yang dapat dilakukan untuk menjaga kelestarian ikan yaitu dengan melakukan identifikasi terhadap keanekaragaman jenis-jenis ikan tersebut. Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui keanekaragaman jenis ikan yang berada di tambak Jeneberang Klurhan Pangkabinanga Kbupaten Gowa. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dan melakukan survei langsung pada lokasi penelitian. Sehingga diperoleh 6 jenis spesies yaitu Ikan nila (Oreochromis niloticus), Ikan gurami (Osphronemus gouramy), Ikan bawel (Colossoma macropomum), Ikan gabus (Channa striatus), Ikan patin (Pangasius hypophthalmus) dan Ikan mas (Cyprinus carpio)
Thinking without language
Authors: Nguyen Minh-Hoang
Published: July 2022

Can we think without language? Two researchers from the University of Nevada – Christopher L. Heavey and Russell T. Hurlburt – think the answer is yes. The idea that humans can think without language is also supported by Evelina Fedorenko, a neuroscientist at MIT’s McGovern Institute, and Rosemary Varley, a neuroscientist at University College London. ***** For more information, please visit: https://mindsponge.info/posts/28 *****
The Immunomodulating properties of TAHITIAN NONI® Juice
Authors: West Brett
Published: July 2022

The immunomodulating properties of Morinda citrifolia (noni) fruit and TAHITIAN NONI® Juice as demonstrated in human clinical trials and in vivo are reviewed. The ability of noni juice to influence the function of the immune system has been demonstrated in both human and animal studies. Such effects have been seen with as little as 0.8 ml/kg via the oral route. The results from the several human and animal studies agree very well. Increased natural killer cell activity is a likely a major contributor to the improved outcome and survival described in the case report, as well as seen in LLC and S180 tumor bearing mice. Increased IFN-γ production is also an important mechanisms of action through which noni improves immune function. IFN-γ promotes natural killer cell activity and macrophage lysosomal activity (a function of phagocytosis), activities both seen in the human and bovine studies. Further, the effect of noni juice on the human immune system is supported by evidence of its antioxidant action in humans.

Kemajuan pesat ilmu pengetahuan yang dicapai manusia pada ujung pertengahan kedua abad ke-20, memungkinkan arus informasi menjadi serba cepat: apa dan oleh siapa dari seluruh muka bumi (bahkan sebagian jagat raya) - menembus ke seluruh lapisan masyarakat dengan bebas tanpa membedakan siapa dia si penerima. Tanpa mengenal batas jarak dan waktu, negara, ras, kelas ekonomi, ideologi atau faktor lainnya yang dapat menghambat bertukar pikiran. Pengaruh perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan terhadap pola kemasyarakatan alienasi adalah suatu kondisi psikologis seorang individu yang dinafasi oleh kesadaran semu (tentang misteri keabadian termasuk Tuhan), keberadaan, dan dirinya sendiri sebagai individu serta komunitas.
