Air filtration to prevent porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection
Authors: Desrosiers Robert , Cousin Vincent
Published: March 2023

This commentary reviews results obtained in France and North America with different air filtration systems to prevent porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection. Most systems installed in France use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and positive-pressure ventilation systems, while those in North America initially used mainly negative-pressure ventilation systems and filters with minimum efficiency rating values of 14 to 16. Major reductions in PRRSV cases were observed in most studies where the latter were used. Installing HEPA filters resulted in an almost complete elimination of PRRSV cases. No cases were recorded in 95% of farms where they were used.
In the Bogs of Joukahainen and Väinämöinen – The Alchemies of Peat from Sacred to Profane and Back
Authors: Pusa Tiina , Haapalainen Riikka , Sederholm Helena
Published: March 2023

Peat bogs play a special role in Finnish cultural history, climate policy, economic life, and art. This article examines the performative meaning-making of peat and aims to rewrite with and through art and cultural heritage the human-centered endeavors of peatland and to create parallel ways of being with the materiality of peat. The article consists of three partly intertwined discourses: 1) the mythical pre-modern bog scene found, 2) this scene transformed in modern times into a site of control and profit, and 3) human-centered peat work is challenged by the demands of climate actions, the Anthropocene, and the posthuman landscape.
Understanding emerging from interspecies relations: Horses, pigs, insect hotels, peat bogs in artistic practices, inquiries and processes of becoming to understand in research-writing
Authors: Suominen Anniina
Published: March 2023

This thematic issue of Research in Arts and Education focuses on exploring research with species other than humans. In the original call, my co-editor Helena Sederholm and I named animals, plants, lichen, moss, and fungi as possible others, or rather partners with whom the carried out artistic and arts-based research could be carried out. The first volume of this special issue was published in 2022. Almost a year later, we publish this second volume that has a particular emphasis on the contradictory, paradoxical relations humans have with other species, the natural processes that are part of human life as well as with the conflicting and exploitative relations humans have built with particular species or places. The authors focus on personally built relationships and encounters with individual living or dead animals, while other authors bring attention to and investigate culturally built notions and contradictory practices that have become normative, dominant practices or perceptions. These articles and visual essays are characterized by posthumanist and postmaterialist orientations and although their strategies and approaches for research and art practices vary, their orientation can be characterized to be driven by exploratory criticality as well as deep reflection guided by sensitivity to arts and other epistemic traditions. As such, they are deeply involved in modes of increasing understanding with and through art.

Psychedelics and psychological strengths
Authors: Brasher Trey , Rosen David , Spinella Marcello
Published: March 2023

Classical psychedelics appear efficacious in improving psychological well-being in randomized clinical trials, but their effects in the population at large are relatively unknown. In the present paper, which includes three studies conducted by online survey with a collective 3,157 participants, classical psychedelic users showed greater psychological strengths and well-being, and lower levels of distress, after controlling for demographic variables, respondents’ beliefs about the potential benefits of psychedelics, and their use of other psychoactive drugs. These benefits contrast with patterns for cannabis and alcohol users, both of whom showed comparatively maladaptive profiles. Reported relationships between psychedelic use and the combined index of psychological strengths was fully mediated by self-transcendence. We show an effect of motivation for psychedelic use, where those who reported a ‘growth’ motivation showed the most robustly adaptive psychological profile. Psychedelic users reported more lifetime meditation experience, and within psychedelic users, greater frequency of use correlated with greater hours of lifetime seated meditation practice. Meditation experience did not account for the differences in strengths, well-being, and distress. In these studies, psychedelic users showed an adaptive psychological pattern on a wider array of strengths than previously studied, which were not attributable to several salient covariates. While causality cannot be inferred from this study, findings align with and advance past research which provides evidence for the potential benefits associated with psychedelics.

Law No. 1 of 2013 concerning Microfinance Institutions was born, LKMS in Indonesia are known as Baitul Mal wa Tamwil (BMT) or Sharia Savings and Loans and Financing Cooperatives (KSPPS) which are generally incorporated as cooperatives. Based on sharia principles, cooperatives are legally incorporated under the supervision of the ministry of cooperatives and small and medium enterprises. The existence of this dualism of legal regulations has led to overlapping regulations, supervision and guidance by related agencies, as well as contradictions in the regulations between one another. This legal problem requires a solution through the reformulation of legal regulations relating to Islamic MFIs. Microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Indonesia are currently growing rapidly and have an important role in improving the people's economy. The rapid development of this MFI is because almost 51.2 million units or 99.9% of business actors in the Indonesian economy are dominated by micro and small business units (Ali sakti: 2013). MFIs can be said to be one of the important pillars in the financial intermediation process needed by small and medium-sized communities for consumption and production as well as storing their business results. In Indonesia, MFIs are regulated in Law no. 1 of 2013 concerning Microfinance Institutions. According to Article 1 (1) of Law no. 1 of 2013 concerning Microfinance Institutions, what is meant by MFIs are: financial institutions specifically established to provide business development services and community empowerment, either through loans or financing in micro-scale businesses to members and the public, managing deposits, as well as providing development consulting services business that is not solely for profit. Based on the definition above, it can be understood that an MFI is a financial institution that functions as an intermediary institution that aims not only to seek profit (profit motive), but also has other goals, namely social motives whose activities are more in the nature of community development.

Published: March 2023

Studies in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) have recently become more prominent at universities in Saudi Arabia. This research explores the perspectives of EFL college students in Saudi Arabia on the various classroom settings they experience there. students' perceptions of EFL college classroom environments in Saudi Arabia. It employs questionnaires and observation techniques for data collection. The questionnaire is structured on the basis of four major research dimensions, including physical, teaching, learning, and motivational dimensions. These are thought to be the most important factors, so the questionnaire is based on them. A ample of 205 male and female students who are currently enrolled in EFL programs has been chosen. According to the findings, both male and female students have similar perceptions of the environments in which they learn EF. Despite this, there are differences that can be seen in certain aspects of the learning dimension. For example, female participants have a higher satisfaction score than male participants do. The learning and motivational dimensions have received lower satisfaction ratings from both parties in comparison to the physical and instructional aspects of the program. Students are not only unhappy with the textbooks that are currently being used, but they also lack interest in the cultural context in which the language is used. The relationship that exists between instructors and pupils was given the highest rating by both sets of respondents. The findings of the study imply that the environment of an EFL classroom should place a greater emphasis on teaching and motivational aspects in order to achieve a higher level of perception on the part of the students.

"Urinary lithiasis is a common pathology in the modern era. Its significance lies in the possible complications that may arise as well as in its potential for recurrence. The treatment and prevention of recurrences of urinary lithiasis often require the intervention of several specialists: urologists, nephrologists, endocrinologists, nutritionists, biochemists, etc. In the last 20 years, the treatment strategy for urinary lithiasis has changed, with minimally invasive methods replacing laparoscopic or open surgery. These are effective and have rare complications. Whichever treatment method is chosen, it may be necessary to temporarily divert the upper urinary tract by inserting double J catheters for preventive, curative, or palliative purposes. Ureteral catheters have had to be improved over time to avoid two major incidents: their migration and colonization. Various materials were used, varying the shape, size, length, guide as well as approaches. The urinary infection-urolithiasis association is frequent, without always being able to specify the cause-effect relationship. The rate of urinary colonization appears to be influenced by the presence of stent colonization as well as the time since the implant. The association of chronic diseases or emergency insertion is associated with an increased risk of urinary colonization. Complications induced by the time of the double J catheter being implanted are rare, and minor and disappear with its removal. In the case of failure to insert a double J ureteral catheter, the alternative would be to perform an ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomy. Double J ureteral catheter insertion is an effective minimally invasive option in the treatment of obstructive urolithiasis. "

In Morocco, the rate of people affected by psychological and mental disorders is increasing every year, especially in the school environment. This negatively affects the development of the country and the promotion of the population as well as their profitability in society, which is explained by the scarcity of existing care centers for individuals in Morocco. This work aims to summarize the literature regarding help centers for children, adolescents, and other people, suffering from psychological disorders. We carried out a comparative study that constitutes a very fruitful approach consisting of a comparison between the forms of care centers in Africa, such as Morocco, Europe, such as France, America, such as Canada, and the United States through the comparisons of the general criteria between each quoted country. The results showed that the Anglophone model is the most successful and can be taken as a model to follow in the Moroccan context. Based on the results of this scientific study, it is clear that it is necessary to introduce the criteria used by the American model: the age category and the multidisciplinary team because they represent the pillars of the most successful healthcare center. In conclusion, the proper management of healthcare centers requires the interference of all existing models while taking advantage of the advantages and limitations of each experience.

Published: March 2023

This study aims to identify the prominent role of graphic health warnings on cigarette packets due to mediating evoked fear in impelling smoking considerations and behavior. The quantitatively designed study deployed a probability (simple random) sampling technique to collect the sample size (Yamane method) of 384 adolescents (smokers or non-smokers) living in the Abbottabad district of Pakistan. The study implemented the Hayes Process model for statistical examining the gathered data in SPSS 20. The empirical findings of the study depicted that perceived visibility of the graphic health warning threats has a positive impact in raising evoking emotions (fear, guilt, disgust), while perceived visibility significantly impacts the emotions (fear, guilt, disgust) of adolescents who smoke. Moreover, smoking status moderates the effects of guilty on the personal consideration of smoking. The results indicated the complete mediation for the indirect effect of the independent variable (perceived visibility) through mediators (fear, guilt, disgust) on dependent variables, i.e., personal and other people's attitudes toward smoking and beliefs about secondhand smoke. The novel empirical findings of the study revealed that adolescents who smoke have a higher level of fear and guilt than non-smokers. The study recommends using graphic warnings about the dangers of smoking to efficiently stimulate emotions in adolescents to manage adult smoking behavior.

Authors: Jung-Ho Lee
Published: March 2023

This study was invested to investigate the effects of a treatment method that can apply the theory of neurorehabilitation for rehabilitation treatment of stroke patients on spasticity, balance ability, and walking ability. In this study, 30 people diagnosed by a rehabilitation medicine specialist were divided into experimental group A and experimental group B through a random assignment method. Experimental group A received extracorporeal shock wave therapy on the paralyzed lower extremity after proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation treatment, and experimental group B received non-gravity treadmill training after proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation treatment. All treatments were performed 3 times a week for 6 weeks, and pre- and post-evaluation were conducted. Spasticity, gait speed, dynamic balance ability, and ankle angle were measured to evaluate the treatment effect. In the results of the study, the decrease in spasticity was statistically significantly higher in experimental group A than in experimental group B, and the improvement in walking speed and dynamic balance ability was statistically significantly higher in experimental group B than in experimental group A. In addition, the change in ankle angle was greater in experimental group A than in experimental group B. In conclusion, various treatment methods should be applied simultaneously to improve the quality of life and quickly return to society in stroke patients.

Published: March 2023

This article describes the natural availability of medicinal plants used in the community health behavior of Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) in the Bukit Dua Belas National Park (BDNP) area. The SAD community, also known as the Kubu, Orang Rimba, or Orang Ulu, are a minority (marginal) ethnic group who live in remote areas and have minimal interaction with the outside world and maintain a primitive way of life amidst modernization. This level of availability is important in decision-making in the socio-economic empowerment program of the SAD indigenous community through the commercialization of medicinal plants. The survey research was conducted for 2 months in the Air Hitam District, Sarolangun Regency, Jambi Province. Data were collected through field observation and interviews with sources of information from the leader of the SAD group, usually called Tumenggung. The data analysis method used simple mathematical techniques to identify the determinants of the level of sustainability of the supply of medicinal plants. The research results showed that the types of medicinal plants classified as shrubs had a higher sustainable supply from nature. This group of medicinal plant species also has the opportunity to be cultivated so that it can be integrated with efforts to empower the SAD community both in the area (in-sites) and around the BDNP (ex-sites). The preservation of medicinal plants of the SAD community in the BDNP area is still maintained, except for several types of medicinal plants belonging to certain trees that require conservation efforts through protection and ecosystem enrichment. Based on the supply of medicinal plants, it can be concluded that a particular strategy is needed for each medicinal plant in developing its economic value, which is grouped into conservation and cultivation efforts, both in situ and ex situ.

Published: March 2023

The influx of women into the workforce has been one of the dominant global social trends for the past fifty years (1970 onwards). Women contribute to half of the total population of Malaysia and play a pertinent role in the nation’s socio-economic development. The Malaysian oil and gas sector employs a significant number of academically qualified, talented, and capable women engineers to fill critical positions for organizational success and sustainability. However, gender-related and management studies have found that organizational support and talent retention of women at the workplace have posed challenges, including the oil and gas sector. This research aims to develop a preliminary conceptual framework to examine the perceived organizational support that contributes to the talent retention of women engineers in the Malaysian oil and gas sector. Two underpinning theories have been applied, i.e, the Perceived Organizational Support Theory (POST) and the Social Exchange Theory (SET). Internal perceived organizational support variables that influence employee retention and their challenges have been reviewed and examined through secondary data, online resources, and government documents. Social support, career growth, rewards, workload, and work flexibility may affect talent retention. Five hypotheses to investigate the factors leading to the retention of talented women engineers in organizations have been developed and discussed in this article. This study may bring positive impacts on talent retention and contribute to the limited gender studies in the engineering discipline within an Eastern setting in the oil and gas sector.

Published: March 2023

This research intends to evaluate the risk-level change of dam break due to the number of population growth rates in the dam downstream. The number of population growth rates in the dam downstream area causes the number of populations that is impacted by disaster risk. In this research, there is conducted the danger class classification of dam failure based on the increasing number of population growth rates. In this research, there is conducted a class classification about the dam failure based on the increasing of population growth rate. The methodology is started from data collecting such as PMF design flood that is used for analyzing the dam break to be obtained the flood boundary of the dam downstream area, Map of the Digital Elevation Model that is for knowing the topography of the dam downstream area, population data which is obtained from BPS that is for knowing the population growth rate so it can predict the population number until the life time of the reservoir, and the land use data that is for knowing the population growth rate in the downstream dam area so it can be known the development of residence until the life time of reservoir. Then there is carried out the evaluation and assessment, which is based on the number of risk populations. The result show that there are 6 dams with very high danger level of the downstream damage level and the classification assessment of dams is extreme such as the dams of Bintang Bano, Rotiklot, Napungette, Lolak, Kuwil, and Pandanduri. However, the other four dams also show a very high danger level but in the assessment classification of dam is high (not extreme) such as the dams of Batu Nampar, Kengkang, Sepit, and Jangkih Jawa. The result is hoped can predict the danger classification of dam failure during the life time of the reservoir. Additionally, it can give input to the policymaker in determining the risk classification of dam failure. Moreover, it can be as one of the inputs in developing the risk classification model of dam failure.
Validation of Proposed Test Set Reduction Hybrid Compaction Schemes for FPGA-Based Designs
Authors: Khatri Abdul Rafay
Published: March 2023

Recently, the density and intricacy of Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) circuits are grown, and the number of test vectors has increased drastically. Owing to this, the cost of testing is a significant component for consideration. The two main factors that measure the cost of the test are the size of the test vector sets and test data volume. Compression and compaction are the two approaches used to reduce the aforementioned factors. Compaction is a primary process in the test generation procedure, and there are two classes for it, i.e., dynamic and static compaction approaches. In this paper, the author performs testing and obtains the compact test vectors for various FPGA-based designs. The RASP-FIT fault injection testing tool provides the ATPG testing framework. In this paper, the testing is performed on various FPGA benchmark designs written in Verilog HDL, and the results are validated. The ATPG method developed under the RASP-FIT tool contains new hybrid compaction techniques that calculate compaction and fault coverage for the designs. This work is also compared with the previous work and found that the proposed compaction scheme is better at compacting the test vectors.

Authors: Rudianto  , Setyohadi D. , Isdianto A. , Harahap K. S.
Published: March 2023

This research starts from the phenomenon of climate change and increasing land subsidence in the coastal areas. Disasters that often occur due to climate change and subsidence result in the destruction of coastal communities' property, loss of life, agricultural land cannot produce optimally, and tsunamis, tidal floods, and liquefaction are increasingly common. If the incident is not addressed, it will lead to a more severe disaster, and the lives of coastal communities will be threatened. This research aims to assess the condition of coastal ecosystems, both coastal ecosystems, landscapes and seascapes, which are then assessed for the level of usage (economic), conservation (ecology), and the value of local wisdom (social). The method used includes three models: geographic information system (GIS), partial least square (PLS), and total economic value (TEV). GIS is used to assess the presence of landscapes and seascapes. PLS is used to assess public opinion and assessment of the existence of coastal ecosystems. TEV is used to assess the economy. The results of the study show that there are still many Pulo Doro beaches that have not been intervened by anthropogenic processes. The condition of the coastal ecosystem is still intact, although natural processes have begun stressing the coastal area due to the increasing wave height. The results of the PLS show that the community values the landscape as 0.753, the seascape assessment as 0.666, the assessment of the relationship between the landscape and the seascape as 0.841, the assessment of the condition of the Pulo Doro Coastal as 0.693, and efforts to develop a Pulo Doro coastal ecosystem management strategy 0.766. The results of the TEV calculation show that both the landscape and seascape show that the economic value is still not exploited much. The results of this study found a model for managing the coast based on landscape and seascape approaches.
Recycling the Leftover Fabrics for Use in Lining Surfaces as Heat Insulators for Hot Areas
Authors: El Azab Seham Ali El-Badri Abd El-Azim , El-Banna Wafaa Mohamed Ibrahim
Published: March 2023

The study is based on the descriptive experimental method, where the research deals with the creation of a new type of surface insulator and its use as a heat insulator, where the remnants of fabrics and threads are used with paper pulp of different thicknesses to determine the extent of their ability to heat insulation. The two researchers prepared the study samples represented in non-woven with a thickness of 3 cm - 2 cm - 1.5 cm. The research objective lies in highlighting the role of recycling yarns and fabric remnants in reflecting ultraviolet rays, insulating heat, and determining the most appropriate thickness to getting the highest thermal insulation. The results were obtained with a thermal conductivity meter with hot square technology. There is a difference in the value of the thermal conductivity coefficient of the samples according to the thickness used. The higher the thickness of the sample, the lower the coefficient of thermal conductivity, and thus, the higher the thermal insulation value. The results of the thermal conductivity coefficient of the samples under study were, in general, significantly low, which indicates the success of the samples in isolating the surfaces well, as the value was between 0.032 and 0.0178. From here, it is possible to benefit from paper and fabric waste in the material savings resulting from the use of air conditioning devices and high-priced insulators. This is an attempt by the two researchers to save electricity consumption, which increases when air conditioners are used in places with high temperatures for a long time.

Perceptions of the community as explained by the health belief model were greatly influenced by the primary healthcare approach by the government and for the subsequent behavioral change.
AN UPGRADED ART MARKET FOR A DIGITAL AGE
Authors:   School of Law, University of North Carolina, Christman Caroline P.
Published: March 2023

The traditional art market suffers from systemic market failures resulting in inefficiencies. There is no universal system or database to keep track of provenance information. The lack of provenance results in authentication issues, raising risk within the market. Additionally, the physical form of traditional art presents numerous problems including theft and transaction costs. Copyright and trademark laws attempt to address these market failures through regulation and enforcement mechanisms. However, these legal mechanisms are inefficient tools to regulate the art market because they rely on voluntary record keeping and retroactive enforcement through the judicial system. In contrast, blockchain technology, as an efficient regulatory and enforcement system, solves the art market problems that the law cannot fix. This innovative technology can solve the complex legal problems that the art market faces daily. Blockchains are immutable ledgers that store impeccable provenance information. Several blockchains have a native form of artwork—non-fungible tokens (NFTs)—that work seamlessly with the technology. NFTs take the physical aspect out of art, allowing art to exist digitally on the blockchain, where they cannot be damaged, stolen, or forged. Blockchain technology presents a novel solution to the physicality, authenticity, and provenance problems in the art market.

Abstract : This article presents the problem of illegal mining carried out by residents, and the extent to which the South Central Timor Regency (TTS) government has issued mining permits. The main issue is whether the regional government has the authority to regulate mining control and supervision activities in the manganese rock area of TTS Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province? And what are the efforts of the local government towards the factors that hinder it. The method used in this research is empirical legal research. It was found that according to regional regulations, the regional government was given authority both from the regions themselves and from the central government, but this has not been maximally implemented in TTS District. It was also found that the local government had not controlled illegal miners' permits, and seemed to allow stone miners to get up illegally which was very troubling to the community. It is hoped that the regional government of TTS Regency, through the relevant technical services, will address environmental problems and resonate areas where there is potential for manganese. There needs to be a price fixing that is directly claimed by the regional government for the effectiveness of regional income including community income from the natural potential of manganese in the TTS Regency area.

Abstrak : Tulisan ini menampilkan problem penambangan liar yang dilakukan oleh warga, dan sejauh mana pemerintah daerah Kabupaten Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS) menerbitkan izin pertambangan. Masalah pokoknya adalah apakah Pemerintah daerah berwenang dalam  penertiban  kegiatan Pengendalian dan pengawasan pertambangan di kawasan batu mangan Kabupaten TTS, Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT)? Dan apa upaya Pemda terhadap faktor yang menghambatnya. Metode yang digunakan penelitian ini yakni penelitian hukum secara emperis. Diitemukan bahwa secara regulasi pemda diberi kewenangan baik dari daerah sendiri maupun dari pemerintah pusat akan tetapi belum diterapkan secara maksimal di Kabupaten TTS. Ditemukan juga bahwa pemda belum mengendalikan izin penambang liar, dan terkesan membiarkan penambang batu bangun liar yang sangat meresahkan masyarakat. Diharapkan pemda Kabupaten TTS melalui dinas teknis terkait mengatasi masalah lingkungan dan adanya resonasi wilayah yang terdapat potensi batu mangan. Perlu adanya penetapan harga yang langsung diklaim oleh pemda guna efektifnya pendapatan daerah termasuk pendapatan masyarakat dari potensi alam batu mangan di wilayah Kabupaten TTS.
