Desa Loloan, Kecamatan Bayan, Kabupaten Lombok Utara, Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat memiliki wilayah yang cukup luas yaitu 3.350 ha dengan jumlah penduduk sebesar 4.619 jiwa. Desa ini berada 110 M di atas permukaan laut dengan kemiringan lahan 15-35%. Desa Loloan memiliki potensi sumber daya hayati yang kaya seperti tanaman pertanian dan perkebunan mulai dari kopi, coklat, kemiri, mete, dsb. Karena sebagian besar lahan digunakan untuk perkebunan, masyarakat desa kesulitan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan konsumsi pangan mereka seperti kebutuhan sayur-sayuran dan sumber protein lain. Pasokan sayur yang berasal dari luar desa menyebabkan terbatasnya persediaan sayur-sayuran di desa tersebut. Hal ini akan mempengaruhi tingkat kesejahteraan masyarakat desa, oleh karena itu dibutuhkan upaya peningkatan ketahanan dan pemenuhan kebutuhan pangan masyarakat di desa Loloan. Karena hal tersebut, kelompok KKN Tematik Desa Loloan tertarik untuk membantu masyarakat desa terkait masalah ketersediaan pangan, terutama sayur-sayuran dengan judul proposal yang kami angkat adalah "Pemanfaatan Greenhouse Sederhana Bale Loloan Berbasis Daur Ulang untuk Meningkatkan Kemandirian Pangan dan Kreativitas Masyarakat di Desa Loloan, Kecamatan Bayan, Kabupaten Lombok Utara". Program kerja utama yang disusun terkait dengan masalah tersebut antara lain: 1) Pembuatan greenhouse sederhana, 2) Pemanfaatan barang bekas sebagai media tanam, 3) Pengadaan bibit sayur-sayuran, 4) Pembuatan pupuk kompos, 5) Edukasi tanaman hortikultura untuk masyarakat desa. Program kerja ini disusun setelah melakukan survey lokasi dan wawancara dengan beberapa aparatur desa dan masyarakat di desa Loloan. Melalui program ini diharapkan desa Loloan dapat menjadi desa yang lebih baik daripada sebelumnya khususnya di bidang ketersediaan dan ketahanan pangan.

Como entender o fio tênue da religião e da política a partir de uma narrativa que interpela a instituição religiosa e a sociedade colombiana? Isso só se pode entender como pura paixão. A resposta a essa pergunta passaria despercebida se a narradora não fosse uma freira colombiana, dada como morta, e que reaparece no cenário da sociedade 30 anos depois. Ao narrar suas experiências, que se confundem com a história da Colômbia em tempos de guerrilha, registra seu lugar de mulher comprometida com a história. Este artigo apresenta, a partir da metodologia da história oral, a trajetória dessa mulher. Tematiza suas escolhas religiosas e políticas com acesso a uma subjetividade feminina, ao abrir a possibilidade de se tentar compreender a questão relacional de gênero.

Palavras-chave: Gênero; Religião; Guerrilha; Política.

Abstract: How to understand the tenuous thread of religion and politics from a narrative that challenges the religious institution and the Colombian society? That can only be understood as pure passion. The answer to that question would pass unnoticed if the narrator was not a Colombian nun, presumed dead, and that reappears in society 30 years later. She narrates her experiences that get confused with the history of Colombia in times of guerrillas, registering her place of woman committed to the story. This article presents, from the methodology of oral history, the trajectory of this woman. It discusses her religious and political choices with access to a female subjectivity, while opening the possibility of trying to understand the relational gender issue.

Trajetória formativa em tempos de renovação da Vida Consagrada
Authors: Custódio Maria Aparecida Correa
Published: April 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a trajetória de formação das religiosas que estiveram vinculadas à Província Imaculada Conceição, pertencente à Congregação das Irmãzinhas da Imaculada Conceição. O foco são as práticas educativas e culturais adotadas por elas para se apropriarem das mudanças trazidas pela Igreja e sociedade na década de 1960. A hipótese é que a garimpagem de fontes documentais inéditas permite trazer ao conhecimento processos formativos que foram mantidos no subsolo da história da Vida Consagrada feminina no Brasil, deixando muitas mulheres invisíveis no movimento de transformação da Igreja e de si mesmas. A linha teórico-metodológica adotada para analisar a documentação é a do paradigma indiciário de Ginzburg (1989), que sugere ler nas entrelinhas para valorizar achados aparentemente marginais. São utilizadas também entrevistas com irmãs antigas que narraram sobre os estudos realizados na primeira metade do século XX. Os resultados apontam que a renovação da Vida Consagrada, estimulada pela Igreja, foi gerada pelo investimento na educação das freiras e aguçada capacidade tática de elas se (auto) educarem com autonomia, apesar da ideologia conservadora (anticomunista) que permeava sua formação.

Palavras-chave: Mulher; Igreja Católica; História da Educação.

Abstract: This article aims to analyze the training trajectory of the religious who were linked to the Imaculada Conceição Province, belonging to the Congregation of the Little Sisters of the Imaculada Conceição. The focus is on the educational and cultural practices adopted by them to take ownership of the changes brought about by the Church and society in the 1960s. The hypothesis is that the mining of unpublished documentary sources allows bringing to knowledge formative processes that were kept underground in the history of female Consecrated Life in Brazil, leaving many women invisible in the movement of transformation of the Church and of themselves. The theoretical-methodological line adopted to analyze the documentation is that of Ginzburg’s evidentiary paradigm (1989), which suggests reading between the lines to value apparently marginal findings. Interviews are also used with old sisters who narrated about the studies carried out in the first half of the 20th century. The results indicate that the renewal of Consecrated Life, stimulated by the Church, was generated by investment in nuns’ education and their sharp tactical ability to (self) educate themselves with autonomy despite the conservative ideology (anti-communist) that permeated their formation.

Mortalidad y comportamiento de búsqueda de pareja en Pomacea canaliculata (Caenogastropoda: Ampullariidae)
Authors: Osinaga Milagros Inés , Tamburi Nicolás E. , Martín Pablo Rafael
Published: April 2023

Pomacea canaliculata es un caracol dulceacuícola invasor de origen sudamericano conocido como plaga de cultivos acuáticos y generador de cambios ecosistémicos en humedales naturales. Esto lo ha convertido en una especie modelo para estudios ecológicos. Sin embargo, aspectos fundamentales de su biología, como los factores que afectan su supervivencia permanecen poco explorados. Estudios recientes sugieren que los machos podrían mantener niveles altos de actividad para buscar pareja aun en condiciones de ayuno, poniendo en juego su supervivencia. Los objetivos del presente trabajo fueron analizar la supervivencia de P. canaliculata ante la presencia de un congénere del mismo o de distinto sexo, y buscar cambios en los patrones de actividad relacionados a la búsqueda de pareja que pudiesen mermar su supervivencia. Se encontró una menor supervivencia en los machos, sin poder demostrar que ésta sea afectada por el sexo del congénere con quien compartían acuario. No se observaron cambios de actividad, medidos como la velocidad media, velocidad máxima o superficie explorada, en función del sexo de la pareja asignada al caracol experimental. La menor supervivencia en machos no se relaciona con mayores niveles de actividad y probablemente obedezca a diferencias fisiológicas entre sexos. La ausencia de diferencias de comportamiento en relación al sexo de la pareja parece explicarse por un inesperado estado de reposo post-reproductivo. Este estudio puede considerarse como una descripción de los niveles de actividad normales y estudios de una escala temporal más amplia podrían requerirse para detectar si el comportamiento sexual puede alterar la supervivencia de esta especie.

Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A prospective observational study
Authors: Amal Kerouach  , Fouzia Hali  , Soumiya Chiheb
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a scarring alopecia of unknown etiology that affects mainly postmenopausal women. It is responsible for progressive recession of the frontotemporal hairline and sometimes occipital hairline with inconsistent eyebrow hair loss. We aimed to investigate the demographics, clinical and trichoscopic features of FFA in the Moroccan population. Patients and methods: We conducted a prospective study over a period of 2 years and 1/2, from January 2020 to July 2022. We enrolled twenty four patients, with clinical and/or histopathological diagnosis of FFA, seen at the dermatology department of Ibn Rochd University Hospital in Casablanca, Morocco. Data regarding demographics, clinical and trichoscopic findings were collected. Results: Twenty Four patients with FFA met the inclusion criteria. There were all women and half of them were postmenopausal (50%). The average age of disease onset was 46,95 years old. Pruritus was the most reported symptom (80%). An emotional factor was found in 40% of the cases and 45% of the patients reported the use of traditional products to their hairs. All patients presented with frontotemporal hairline recession with parietal or occipital involvement in 70% and 50% of the cases respectively, and 16 patients experienced eyebrow loss. Facial micropapules were found in 9 patients (45%), followed by patchy hyperpigmentation in 6 patients (30%) and follicular hyperpigmentation in 4 patients (20%). The majority of patients presented mild FFA (grades I and II), with a recession of less than 3 cm of the frontotemporal hairline (85%). The most frequent trichoscopic findings were perifollicular erythema (80%) and follicular hyperkeratosis (70%), followed by decreased or absence of vellus hairs (60%), lonely hairs (45%), perifollicular blue-gray pigmentation (35%), perifollicular brownish pigmentation (30%) and loss or absence of follicular openings (30%). Tufted hairs and white patches of scarring alopecia were found in 25% and 20% patients, respectively. Conclusion: Our study supports the role of cosmetic products or emotional factors in the physiopathology of FFA. Trichoscopy seems a valuable tool in the diagnosis of AFF. Perifollicular erythema, follicular hyperkeratosis and decreased of absence of vellus hairs are easily identified and are very suggestive of the diagnosis.
The effect of leadership style on employee motivation, case study: Al-Neelain University in Sudan -Khartoum)
Authors: Marjan Usama Ismael
Published: April 2023

At every level of the company, the efficacy of leadership is essential. In order to motivate, various firms adopt a range of leadership styles and techniques. By putting in place frameworks that maximize employee potential, utilize organizational resources, and provide guidance, leaders may inspire their workforce. On the other hand, they can make it extremely difficult to instill trust, buy into the company's goals, promote alignment, and create a collaborative environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between employee motivation and leadership style at Sudan's Al-Neelain University. The outcomes of the investigation were determined by the researcher using the quantitative approach. A questionnaire that was sent to administrative staff members at Al-Neelain University was used to collect the primary data. The statistical analysis, which was done using SPSS 22, revealed that motivation and leadership styles had a generally positive significance.

Authors: Sinyukov A. V. , Sinyukova T. V. , Abdullazyanov E. Yu. , Gracheva E. I. , Meshcheryakov V. N. , Valtchev S.
Published: April 2023

THE PURPOSE. The study is devoted to the problems of ensuring the smooth start and stop of lifting and transport mechanisms. Standard regulators do not allow you to achieve the desired results with changing indicators, the exact values of which are not always available for measurement. Control signals, in such systems, usually correspond to data from a certain range. The paper proposes to replace the standard controller with a controller based on fuzzy algorithms. The process of modeling a system with different types of controllers allows you to explore systems and identify the most optimal of.

METHODS. To solve the problem, the methods of mathematical modeling in the MatLab Simulink environment were used.

RESULTS. The article considers the possibility of using various kinds of regulators on lifting and transport mechanisms. For the functioning of the fuzzy type controller, a rule base has been developed that forms the process of operation of a real object, with an optimal functioning algorithm. Systems with a PID-type controller, with a neural network-type controller with network training, with the possibility of its adjustment for further use, are implemented, the probability of high processor load is taken into account, on the basis of which a supervisor is proposed. The possibility of using ANFIS networks for the implementation of regulators is considered.

CONCLUSION. The use of different types of controllers operating on the principle of neural network technologies makes it possible to achieve optimal performance in the control of lifting and turning mechanisms, both from the standpoint of ensuring the stability of movement, and from the standpoint of system reliability. Compared with the PID type controller, the application of the ANFIS network reduced the fluctuation by 2.9 times, and the use of the fuzzy type controller reduced the fluctuation by 0,75 times. The use of a neural controller compared to the use of the ANFIS network gives a decrease in the fluctuation of the speed formation process by about 0.48 times.

Published: April 2023

Sürdürülebilir kalkınmanın sağlanmasında tüketicilerin topluma ve çevreye karşı duyarlı bir tüketim davranışı sergilemeleri oldukça önemlidir. Bu noktada, tüketicileri sürdürülebilir tüketime yönlendiren ya da sürdürülebilir tüketimi baskılayan faktörlerin tespit edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu kapsamda bu araştırmada, karanlık üçlü kişilik özelliklerinin sürdürülebilir tüketim davranışına etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Karanlık üçlü; narsisizm, makyavelizm ve psikopati olarak üç boyutta incelenmektedir. Sürdürülebilir tüketim davranışı; çevreye duyarlılık, tasarruf, ihtiyaç dışı tüketim ve yeniden kullanılabilirlik olarak dört boyut kapsamında ele alınmaktadır. Araştırmanın verisi 307 tüketiciden çevrimiçi anket tekniğiyle toplanmıştır. Gerçekleştirilen doğrulayıcı faktör analizi neticesinde, makyavelizm ve psikopati boyutları birleştirilerek tek bir kişilik özelliği olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca, sürdürülebilir tüketim davranışının yeniden kullanılabilirlik boyutu faktör analizi neticesinde analiz dışı bırakılmıştır. Yapısal eşitlik modeli kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen analizler sonucunda narsisizmin çevreye duyarlılık, tasarruf ve ihtiyaç dışı tüketim üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Makyavelizm-psikopati özelliği çevreye duyarlılık, tasarruf ve ihtiyaç dışı tüketim boyutlarını olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Araştırmanın sürdürülebilir tüketim davranışını açıklamada kişiliğin karanlık yönlerine odaklanması yönüyle literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Published: April 2023

Most democratic governments have prioritizedoffering people more significant input in government decision-making and promoting public participation in policy creation. People and governments may now effectively integrate formerly unsurmountable gaps in their relationships thanks to advances in digital and information technologies. "Smart City" technologies are not a new term in today's urbanizationdevelopment field; however, this "Smart City" technologies term is likely unfamiliar with the rural area, as the rural area is sometimes assumed to perform poorly in the development of innovative city initiatives, which are mostly being pioneered by the local government authority with a focus on a city or urban region. Citizens can now participate in decision-making and policy-making due to the smart city project initiative, which cannot be disregarded entirely; unfortunately, rural population participation remains limited. This conceptual research aims to examine smart city project aspirations for the rural community public participation framework. The author comprehends the importance of including significant public participation in all parts of the planning process. The methodology behind this researchis based on a detailed study of the scholarly literature that has already been done. The conclusions of the research were derived from a number of different reading materials, such as books, journals, and other sources on smart city programsfor public participation in rural areas.

Authors: Marji Mohd Salehudin , Musta'amal Aede Hatib , Chidozie Chinedu Caleb , Hassan Syafiq Che
Published: April 2023

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) has become a common tool used by educational institutions in teaching engineering drawing. Although more practical, learning that relies too heavily on CAD can lead to a decrease in students' ability to visualize and interpret technical drawing objects. This study will examine the integration of CAD in technical drawing education with the use of real model objects in the orthographic drawing and its impact on students’s performance. The study employed a three-step data collection approach, including a pre-test, intervention, and post-test, as well as a questionnaire to determine students' perceptions of the learning process. The study participants were fifteen fourth-grade high school students from SMA Seri Aman, Kota Tinggi. The students had previously been taught orthographic drawing and had prior knowledge of the subject matter. Based on the regression testing results, a p-value of 0.00 <0.05 was obtained, indicating a significant relationship between real modeled object learning and students' learning performance. Additionally, based on the average scores, there was an improvement in each phase, with pre-test scores of 4.46 and post-test scores of 8.40, indicating that the use of real modeled objects significantly improved learning outcomes compared to conventional learning models in orthographic drawing materials.

Differential expression of MCM2 in cancer of the cervix.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2023

Almost all cervical cancers are caused by infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) (1-3); the transcriptional features that distinguish the gene expression programs of HPV-induced cancers from that of other solid tumors resulting from non-viral abrogation of tumor suppression remain incompletely defined. We mined published and public microarray datasets (4, 5) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with the most common type of cervical cancer, cervical squamous cell carcinoma. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding minichromosome maintenance complex component 2, MCM2, when comparing tumor tissue from the human cervix to the tissue of origin. MCM2 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the cervix as compared to normal tissues from the cervix. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of MCM2 in tumors of the cervix was correlated with overall survival in patients with cervical cancer. MCM2 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of cancer of the cervix in humans.

Hadist berkedudukan penting dalam agama Islam. Posisi hadist ditingkatan ke dua dari Qur’an selaku naskah pedoman Islam. Selain menjadi penjelas daripada Qur’an, Hadist menentukkan dalil diluar pembahasan Qur’an. Hadits sangat penting sehingga banyak para sahabat yang menjaganya, mengamalkannya serta menyampaikannya dari zaman ke-zaman. Dari banyaknya macam-macam hadist, terdapat hadis kontradiktif yang biasa disebut mukhtalif hadist.Mukhtalif hadis merupakan sebuah kajian hadis yang menarik perhatian para ulama hadis. Perbedaan ini terjadi dalam berbagai aspek hadis, terkait matan, sanad, atau bahkan konteks penggunaan pada hadis itu sendiri. Dengan adanya perbedaan ini, muncullah tantangan dalam memperoleh pemahaman yang tepat mengenai hadis kontradiksi tersebut.Dalam studi hadis, para ulama menghadapi situasi dimana terdapat beberapa hadis tampak secara lahiriah bertentangan dalam konteks masalah tertentu. Dengan demikian, para ulama ahli hadis telah mengembangkan berbagai metode dan pendekatan untuk menyelesaikan mukhtalif hadis. Tujuan dibuatnya artikel ini, untuk menjelaskan fenomena mukhtalif hadis dan membahas berbagai metode penyelesaiannya. Dengan pemahaman yang lebih baik terkait mukhtalif hadis dan metode penyelesaiannya, kita dapat memperoleh wawasan yang lebih akurat tentang hadis dan menerapkannya secara tepat dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.
Differential expression of MCM5 in cancer of the cervix.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2023

Almost all cervical cancers are caused by infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) (1-3); the transcriptional features that distinguish the gene expression programs of HPV-induced cancers from that of cancers resulting from non-viral abrogation of tumor suppression remain incompletely defined. We mined published microarray datasets (4, 5) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with the most common type of cervical cancer, cervical squamous cell carcinoma. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding minichromosome maintenance complex component 5, MCM5, when comparing tumor tissue from the human cervix to the tissue of origin. MCM5 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the cervix as compared to normal tissues from the cervix. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of MCM5 in tumors of the cervix was correlated with overall survival in patients with cervical cancer. MCM5 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of cancer of the cervix in humans.
Boolean-Based Probability: The Case of a Vector-Weighted Voting System
Authors: Rushdi Ali Muhammad , Rushdi Muhammad Ali
Published: April 2023

Boolean-based probability is the paradigm of formulating and manipulating probability problems in the Boolean domain so as to obtain the probabilities of given events as expectations of indicator variables of these events. This paper is a brief exposition of Boolean-based probability and a demonstration of its techniques in terms of a vector-weighted voting system that involves a large number of variables. Symmetry considerations as well as the availability of quadratic-time algorithms for k-out-of-n probability evaluation are key elements in accomplishing successful efficient handling of this system. A symbolic solution is obtained for the probability that this system upholds a certain decision in terms of the probabilities that the decision is supported by the individual voters within the system. This symbolic solution is utilized in a switching-algebraic proof that the dimension of the voting system considered is exactly two.

We mined published microarray datasets (4, 5) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with the most common type of cervical cancer, cervical squamous cell carcinoma. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding CDC28 protein kinase regulatory subunit 2, CKS2, when comparing tumor tissue from the human cervix to the tissue of origin. CKS2 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the cervix as compared to normal tissues from the cervix. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of CKS2 in tumors of the cervix was correlated with recurrence-free survival in patients with cervical cancer. CKS2 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of cancer of the cervix in humans.

Cultural differences in behavioural regulation under the collective threat of COVID-19: More adjustment in Japan and more influence in the US
Authors: Uricher Raphael , Nakayama Masataka , Uchida Yukiko
Published: April 2023

Historical collective threat has been highlighted as a key factor behind the evolution of cultural differences, but little research has investigated how culture-threat links are reflected in concrete psychological and behavioural tendencies. Additionally, although it is well established that behavioural regulation strategies generally differ between cultures, they have scarcely been examined in the context of an ongoing collective threat. We tested whether the general findings that behavioural adjustment is more prevalent among East Asians and influence is more prevalent among European Americans extended to people’s perceptions of their own and others’ actions under the collective threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted two online surveys between August and December 2020 (n=1240 and 823, respectively) in Japan and the United States, and found that, compared to Americans, Japanese participants perceived higher levels of both normative and actual adjustment for both themselves and others. Furthermore, Americans felt that actors in their daily lives (friends, subordinates, superiors, and local governments) other than the national government, had influenced people’s behaviour significantly more than Japanese did. Finally, Americans reported that they were more likely than Japanese participants to use influence strategies in response to encountering someone not wearing a mask on the train.
Employing the Unemployed of Marienthal: Evaluation of a Guaranteed Job Program
Authors: Kasy Maximilian , Lehner Lukas
Published: April 2023

We evaluate a guaranteed job program launched in 2020 in Austria. Our evaluation is based on three approaches, pairwise matched randomization, a pre-registered synthetic control at the municipality level, and a comparison to individuals in control municipalities. This allows us to estimate direct effects, anticipation effects, and spillover effects.We find positive impacts of program participation on economic and non-economic well-being, but not on physical health or preferences. At the municipality level, we find a large reduction of long-term unemployment, and no negative employment spillovers. There are positive anticipation effects on subjective well-being, status, and social inclusion for future participants. (Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality Working Paper)

To Go to Work or Stay at Home for Better Conjugal Relations? Reflection from Married Women of Kathmandu Valley, Nepal
Authors: Pandey Rishikesh , Bhattarai Prabha
Published: April 2023

Marital adjustment implicates both the family and professional life of women. It has, however, not received adequate research attention in Nepal. This paper assesses the marital adjustment of working women and housewives in Kathmandu, Nepal, using the Marital Adjustment Inventory developed by Kumar and Rohatgi (1976). Data are collected using face-to-face interviews with 270 women selected through purposive-cluster sampling. The data were analyzed using descriptive and bi-variate level inferential statistics. Most respondents were well-educated young Newa community women living in joint families. Married women of Kathmandu Valley enjoy fairly well-adjusted conjugal union, with even better adjustment of working women since their earnings act as power. The bi-variate level test indicated a significantly associated between age at marriage, working status, monthly income, and type of family with marital adjustment. However, the prevailing scholarship indicates that factors affecting marital adjustment are not universal. Rather, they are context-specific. Working women of joint families showed higher levels of marital adjustment, indicating the strength of power (money as resources) and socio-cultural norms for family bonds for family happiness. While these findings seek policy recognition and practical translation of these elements under a wider approach to women’s empowerment and family well-being, we also recommend women go to work rather than stay at home, for a better conjugal relationship.
