Phrozen's Water-Washable Resin, designed for easy post-processing, had a first resonance frequency of 210 Hz and a Young's modulus of 0.30 x 1010 Pa. In conclusion, Liqcreate Composite-X demonstrates superior mechanical performance, making it suitable for high-strength applications, while Phrozen's Water-Washable Resin, with lower mechanical properties, is more suited for less demanding uses. This study enhances the understanding and application of SLA-based ceramic composites in various engineering domains.
Loading and Friction of Elastoplastic Line Contact with Thermal Deformation
Authors: TANG Zhipeng , ZHANG Yongbin
Published: October 2024

The loading and friction of the elastoplastic line contact in boundary lubrication is studied by accounting for the contact thermal deformation effect. When the contact is mainly in the elastic deformation, the contact thermal deformation has significant influences on both the contact width and contact friction coefficient for a given load, and it reduces their values; However when the contact is mainly in the plastic deformation, the effect of the contact thermal deformation is weak or even negligible. Owing to the contact thermal deformation, the critical load for the initiation of the contact plastic deformation is also reduced.

Politisches Denken und Handeln im Sport
Authors: Güldenpfennig Sven
Published: October 2024

Talk about sports politics is often bold. It is dominated by the dictates of subjective opinion over objectively considered judgment. This is where this book comes in. To help the power prevail, it offers a toolbox of diagnostic instruments. As a test of their viability,a panorama of conflicts in sports policy is painted. The case studies are both a warning against the destructive effects of political instrumentalization and an encouragement of sports politics that places sport at the service of a humane global society. They show how meaningless the phrases “sport is political” and “sport is apolitical” are if they are played off against each other. Well-founded sports policy enables meaningful sport by fending off general political encroachments.

Natural Sperm Selection: Perspectives for More Successful Outcomes in ICSI
Authors: Izadi Mahin , Vahidi Serajoddin , Ebrahim Rezvani Mohammad , Aflatoonian Behrouz
Published: October 2024

Natural sperm selection in the female reproductive tract involves complicated processes that result in the most competent sperm reaching the fertilization site. This selection is based on various sperm characteristics, including motility, viability, and DNA integrity. Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) often bypass these natural selection barriers, leading to concerns about treatment success and offspring health. Nowadays, many researchers are using these biomimetic methods of sperm selection that mimic the selection process occurring in the female reproductive tract. These methods apply microfluidic devices that separate sperm on the basis of guidance mechanisms, such as rheotaxis, chemotaxis, and thermotaxis, and the techniques have also been developed to separate sperm potential biomarkers involved in the sperm binding to the egg envelopes, such as hyaluronic acid and zona pellucida. Conclusively, application of these biomimetic methods could enhance the ART outcomes.

Authors: M. Blakey Joan , M. Buraik Labibah , Lowery Channel , M. Coleman Jessica
Published: October 2024

Historically, education has been a way of achieving societal success for Black families. As schools became integrated, many Black parents sought the best educational opportunities for their children, often choosing predominantly White institutions. This study aims to understand the factors parents of Black children used when choosing high schools for their children. Through thematic analysis, the research revealed that Black parents equated the best academic experiences possible with high graduation rates, preparation for future success, comprehensive and well-rounded education, access to extracurricular activities and support services, a “one-stop-shop” for educational needs, living near the school, and diversity within the school. Despite these priorities, many children reported negative experiences rooted in racism, which impacted their overall educational experience. Even when parents became aware of these racial challenges, they often prioritized the perceived quality of education over the emotional and psychological toll on their children. These findings reveal the complex trade-offs that Black parents navigate between securing quality education and ensuring their children’s overall health and well-being. The study underscores the need for supportive and inclusive educational environments where Black students can excel academically and personally.

Authors: J. Walczyk Jeffrey , Mennie Kacie , Walker Danny
Published: October 2024

This chapter reviews research and models concerning cognitive aspects of creative problem solving. Following the introduction, research related to two major obstacles to creative problem solving are reviewed: difficulties in far reasoning by analogy and functional fixedness (perceiving objects and situations only in conventional ways). In the next section, four models of the cognition of creative problem solving are discussed. They are non-overlapping, each dealing with complementary aspects of the creative process. This includes a recent model of how creativity develops and another of how problems are solved creatively in applied settings such as business environments. In the final section, a synthesis of the four models and research reviewed is made regarding what they share-in-common and their unique contributions. To reinforce the material, we end by presenting a case study of creative problem finding via reasoning by analogy within cognitive psychology. Applications and questions for future research are suggested.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Hair loss can happen for various reasons, including emotional stress, physical strain, certain medical issues, and nutritional gaps. When it comes to nutrition, a lack of vitamin D3 could be linked to diffuse hair loss. Objectives: The aim was to look for the frequency of vitamin D3 deficiency with diffuse hair fall especially in Pakistani population. Methods: A total of 120 patients of both genders and all ages presenting to the Dermatology Clinic with complaints of non-scarring alopecia and loss of over 100 strands of hair within a 24-hour period (counted by patient), of any duration and positive hair pull test were advised to take serum vitamin D3. Tests and results were then analyzed by SPSS statistical software package (version 19.0 for Windows). Results: The mean age of participants enrolled in the study was 28.56 ± 11.62 years. The majority of the patients, i.e., 77 (63.64%) were ≤30 years of age. Among the 120 patients, 17 were males and 103 were females. Mean serum vitamin D3 levels were 17.33 ± 5.43 ng/ml. Frequency of vitamin D3 deficiency in patients with diffuse hair fall was seen in 95 (79.17%) patients with 37 patients having female pattern hair loss, 7 patients with male pattern hair loss, 7 patients with diffuse alopecia areata, and 44 patients with telogen effluvium. Conclusions: This study concluded that there is considerable frequency of vitamin D3 deficiency in individuals with diffuse hair fall.

Authors: Gülsunay İlayda Esna , Altunay İlknur , Kum Tuğba , Aksu Cerman Asli
Published: October 2024

Introduction: In recent years, the role of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, which is one of the intracellular signaling pathways and known as the main control pathway of metabolism, in the pathogenesis of psoriasis has been emphasized. Objectives: We sought to investigate the importance of the mTOR pathway in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Methods: Forty patients with psoriasis and 40 healthy volunteers were included in this case-control study. Serum fasting mTORC1 and mTORC2 levels of the study groups were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Serum mTORC1 and mTORC2 levels were significantly lower in patients with psoriasis than controls (p= 0.001). A positive correlation was found between serum mTORC1 and serum mTORC2 levels in patients with psoriasis (p=0,001, r=0,826). Conclusion: The lower serum levels of mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes which are active signalling molecules in the cell, were found to be lower in patient with psoriasis, suggesting that it may be an indicator of increased intracellular activation of these molecules. Our opinion that agents that can effectively inhibit both mTOR complexes may be more effective in the treatment of psoriasis.

The ASEAN (Association of South-East Asian Nations), established in 1967, comprises ten member countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand (ASEAN-5), which represent 66% of the region's population. The banking sector, a crucial element in economic growth, has been significantly influenced by the rise of Fintech start-ups, which offer new technologies and business models such as digital payments and peer-to-peer lending. This study examines the impact of Fintech on the financial performance of banks in the ASEAN-5 countries from 2019 to 2022, considering factors such as government regulations, technological advancements, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The research explores how Fintech growth has affected key financial performance indicators, including Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Interest Margin (NIM). It highlights the fluctuations in ROE across ASEAN-5 countries and discusses the mixed impacts of Fintech on bank performance, with some studies indicating negative effects due to disruptive innovation and others showing positive impacts through financial inclusion and automation. The study also investigates internal factors like company size and capital ratio, which influence bank performance. Company size, measured by total assets, and the capital ratio, reflecting equity to assets, are analyzed to understand their effects on financial performance. Additionally, external factors such as GDP and inflation are considered as control variables to isolate their impact on bank performance. By evaluating these variables, the research aims to provide insights into how banks in ASEAN-5 can adapt to the evolving financial landscape shaped by Fintech innovations and external economic conditions.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Myelin oligodendrocytic glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is an immune-mediated demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system. We described, a case of encephalitis associated with anti-MOG antibodies with hyperintense lesions on FLAIR and seizures (FLAMES). Case Report: We report a case of a 5-year-old girl, with no significant personal or family history, who entered the emergency room with paroxysmal events and anarthria, in a febrile context. On neurological examination she presented right sided facial paresis and pyramidal signs on the right. Lumbar puncture (LP), showed pleocytosis, hyperproteinorrhaquia and the absence of oligoclonal bands. Electroencephalogram revealed encephalopathy and slow paroxysmal left frontal activity. The brain MRI detected hyperintense lesions, however, with an area of left frontal cortico-subcortical hyperintense signal on T2/FLAIR and diffusion restriction. Anti-MOG antibody was detected. These findings pointed to the diagnosis of FLAMES. She completed 7 days of methylprednisolone (30mg/kg/day), with a good response. On the day of discharge, a repeat EEG was conducted, demonstrating significant improvement compared to the initial one, with slightly slow wake and sleep patterns for her age, and no evidence of epileptic activity. She was assessed approximately four months post-hospitalisation and was found to be asymptomatic, with no focal neurological deficits. A further EEG was performed, which showed a structurally age-appropriate wake and sleep pattern with no abnormal graphoelements. Conclusion: We highlight a rare clinical-radiological entity, which is still poorly described, particularly in the paediatric population, known as FLAMES, with a favourable response to steroids. Early recognition and timely diagnosis of his condition improve clinical and therapeutic management and minimize neurological damage. Immediate initiation of appropriate treatment is important for achieving a favorable outcome.

This article aims to understand Abdullah Saeed's thoughts on Islamic law and human rights and how to harmonize Islamic law and human rights. As written by Abdullah Saeed, the problem related to human rights is a concern of Saeed because of the debate between Islamic law and human rights. It seeks to find a solution to how Muslims respond to the debate to reconcile human rights discourse with Islamic norms and values. This problem has given rise to international human rights instruments that affirm gender equality and protect women from discrimination. The emergence of human rights brought from the West, which is predicted to solve the problem of discrimination against women, is considered not to provide significant changes to women in the world because international law and its application in non-Western cultures are not in harmony with Islamic law and even become a controversial issue. This library research tries to examine Saeed's thinking and find solutions related to the debate on Islamic law, human rights, and gender equality. Possible reconciliation so that there will be a balance between international human rights and Islamic law.

Authors: Gökbayır Tuğba , Gökbayır Mehmetcan
Published: October 2024

Renk adları, Çağdaş Türk lehçelerinde büyük bir çeşitliliğe sahiptir. Renk adlarının fazla olması yapım eklerinin pekiştirilmesiyle ilişkilidir. Yapım ekleri isim ve fiil gövdelerine gelerek yeni kelimelerin türetilmesini sağlar. Renk adlarına da isimden isim yapan eklerin getirilmesiyle yeni veya pekiştirilmiş bir renk adı ortaya çıkar. Bu sebeple, renk adlarında artış görülür ve renklerin farklı işlevleri ortaya çıkar. Renklerin sahip olduğu bu farklı işlevler, dilin işlenişine ve gelişimine katkı sağlar. Her dilin sahip olduğu sözcük hazinesi, tarihi süreçte gelişen ve canlılığını sürdüren bir olgudur. Renk adları da bu hazinenin önemli kültürel bir parçasıdır. Bu çalışmada, Çağdaş Türk lehçelerinin tamamında görülen renk adları çeşitli kaynaklardan tespit edilmiştir. Sırasıyla Kuzeybatı (bazı ağızlarıyla birlikte), Güneydoğu, Güneybatı, Kuzeydoğu grubu ve Türk dilinin uzak lehçeleri olan Çuvaş, Saha/Yakut Türkçelerindeki isimden isim yapan ekler tespit edilip yeni renk adları türetmiş olan kelimeler ele alınmıştır. Türetilmiş olan bu kelimelerin hangi ekle yeniden türetildiği gösterilmiş ve anlamları tırnak içinde verilmiştir.

Financial literacy and financial inclusion are indispensable for business actors, especially women entrepreneurs. Financial literacy is financial knowledge related to the ability to manage finances, such as making budgets, interest rate knowledge, investments, savings, and so on. Meanwhile, financial inclusion is the availability of access to financial institutions, financial products and services. Until now, there is still a gap in knowledge and financial inclusion among business actors, especially women entrepreneurs, towards financial technology. If business actors have good financial literacy and financial inclusion, they can take advantage of financial technology services for the sustainability of their business. The target group for this community service is a women's business group that is a member of the Banyumas micro small and small entrepreneurs association (ASPIKMAS) in Cilongok District. There were 30 counseling participants. Counseling is carried out face-to-face. The result of this activity is that women entrepreneurs are more familiar with financial technology services and can choose the right services needed to ensure the sustainability of their business.

Informationsposter „5 Gründe für Open Access“
Authors:   Team OA Brandenburg
Published: October 2024

Kommunikation ist ein elementarer Baustein der Open-Access-Transformation. Eigentlich müsste man sogar im Plural von Kommunikationen sprechen. Denn je nach Situation und Zielgruppe ist für die Vermittlung des Themas eine spezifische und angepasste Ansprache notwendig.

Welche das ist, leitet sich einerseits von den Interessen, Erwartungen und Vorkenntnissen der Angesprochenen ab. Andererseits spielt eine Rolle, was wir als Ansprechende in der jeweiligen Situation erreichen wollen.

Die Vermittlung von Open Access im Rahmen einer Schulung benötigt eine andere Form als die Vermittlung in einem strategischen Gespräch mit Entscheidungsträger*innen. Publizierende wollen in der Regel wissen, was sie konkret bei einer Open-Access-Publikation beachten müssen und wie sie dabei ihre Publikationsziele, insbesondere Sichtbarkeit und Reputation innerhalb der Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft, absichern können. Bibliotheksmitarbeitende wollen Open-Access-Serviceangebote möglichst reibungsarm in ihren Gesamtbetrieb integrieren. Verlage interessieren sich dafür, wie sich Open Access mit ihren jeweiligen Geschäftsmodellen in Übereinstimmung bringen lässt. Hochschulleitungen blicken auf strategische Chancen und Herausforderungen. Open-Access-Aktivist*innen interessieren sich vor allem für Wege, die Strukturen des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens an sich zu verändern.

Eine bislang weniger beachtete Zielgruppe bei der Kommunikation des Themas sind Studierende. Wer das Glück hat, beispielsweise an der Fachhochschule Potsdam oder an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Bibliothekswissenschaft und/oder Informationswissenschaften zu studieren, bekommt im Rahmen des Curriculums erste Einblicke. In anderen Disziplinen bleibt die Bibliothek der Einrichtung oft der erste Berührungspunkt.

Zur Unterstützung der Einrichtungen im Land Brandenburg und als einen ersten Schritt zur Entwicklung einer Kommunikationsstrategie für die Vermittlung des Themas Open Access insbesondere an Studierende haben wir nun eine spezielle Informationsseite aufgesetzt sowie ein Informationsposter "5 Gründe für Open Access" entwerfen lassen. Die grafische Gestaltung übernahm in unserem Auftrag die Gestalterin Katja Telgenkämper.

Das Poster und die grafischen Elemente werden selbstverständlich unter eine Creative-Commons-Lizenz, nämlich CC-BY 4.0, zur Verfügung gestellt. Eine freie Nachnutzung ganz im Sinne von Open Access ist also gewährleistet. 

Über Rückmeldungen und Hinweise vor allem zur Weiterentwicklung dieser Kommunikationsstrategie freuen wir uns sehr: KONTAKT.
