Authors: Palupi Ajeng Sekar , Hidayatullah Muhammad Haqqi
Published: June 2024

Natural antioxidants can be obtained from fruit, vegetables and plants, because they contain the largest compounds, namely phenolic compounds. Phenolic compounds are the largest group of compounds that function as natural antioxidants in plants. One plant that contains a lot of antioxidants is found in the cherry plant (Muntingia calabura L.). This study aims to determine the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the maceration and ultrasonic extraction methods of ethanol extract, ethyl acetate of cherry leaves (Muntingia calabura L.). Extraction of cherry leaves was carried out using maceration and ultrasonic methods using ethyl acetate solvent. The thick ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts of cherry leaves were measured for total phenolic content and antioxidant activity. The results of maceration extraction with ethanol solvent had a content of 58.498 mgGAE/g and ethyl acetate had a content of 58.820 mgGAE/g. The results of ultrasonic extraction with ethanol solvent had a content of 56.118 mgGAE/g and ethyl acetate had a content of 51.463 mgGAE/g. The total phenolic content of ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of cherry leaves from the maceration and ultrasonic methods had significant differences. Ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of cherry leaves using the maceration extraction method had antioxidant activity levels of 36,639 ppm and 39,361 ppm, while the ultrasonic method had antioxidant activity levels of 35,268 ppm and 39,179 ppm respectively.

Claudia Goldin and the economics of women and work
Authors: Epetia Ma. Christina
Published: June 2024

Claudia Goldin won the 2023 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences “for having advanced our understanding of women’s labor market outcomes.” Wielding her expertise in economic history and labor economics, she produced the first comprehensive account of the evolution of women’s labor supply and earnings in a span of 200 years. While recognizing the role of discrimination, Goldin is known for exploring alternative drivers of the gender gap by using the lens of education, fertility, parenthood, social norms, institutional change, and women’s aspirations and identity. Her body of work was key for the study of women’s labor market outcomes—a subject that had been largely overlooked—to enter mainstream economics. This paper highlights Goldin’s major contributions to economics as a field and influence on policy research.

Authors: Mendoza Cahuana Mayra Alexandra , Navas Labanda Alegría Cumandá , Obregón Vite Byron Leonardo , Orozco Poma Robert Danilo
Published: June 2024

Urban art, traditionally associated with aesthetic aspects, criminalization, and vandalism, has evolved into a form of democratic and cultural expression. Manifested in murals, graffiti, and other visual forms, this art reflects the creativity that flourishes in urban environments and communities. This article analyzes the transformation of urban art, traditionally framed within criminalization and vandalism, towards recognition as a cultural and democratic manifestation. The methodology used is a bibliographic study with a qualitative approach. The main results indicate a paradigm shift: urban art has moved from being stigmatized to being recognized as a legitimate form of artistic and cultural expression with significant democratic implications. This change is due to a greater understanding of its potential as a tool for empowerment, social critique, and citizen participation. As a main conclusion, it is explained that urban art has evolved from being seen as mere vandalism to being valued as a democratic cultural manifestation. It allows various social groups to express themselves and participate in the construction of urban narratives. This form of artistic expression seeks beauty and social critique, contributing to the aesthetic enrichment of cities. Urban art, rooted in the emotions, thoughts, and experiences of its creators, provides a reflection of cultural and social diversity. Despite the stigmatization and criminalization, its aesthetic influence and capacity to democratize culture make it a relevant cultural phenomenon.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of physical environmental enrichment on the agonistic behavior of 30 cats housed in the "Rescue Mission" shelter. In the pre-enrichment period, a significant increase in agonistic behaviors was observed, such as 205 paw swipes and 184 vocalizations. After implementing crates and shelves as enrichment, a gradual reduction of these behaviors was recorded. Comparison of the two types of enrichment revealed that the cats preferred the 282 boxes over the 170 shelves. As for the relationship between enrichment and sex, age and body condition of the cats, statistically significant relationships were found. Taken together, these results point to the significant influence of sex, age, and body condition on cats' environmental enrichment preferences. These findings highlight the importance of environmental enrichment in improving the welfare of cats in shelters and homes, and provide relevant information for decision making in the management of these animals. It is concluded that the implementation of effective environmental enrichment strategies can reduce stress and improve the behavior of cats, promoting a more harmonious coexistence among felines.
The Role of Translation in Commercialisation of Popular Culture: The Little Prince
Authors: Doğan İrem Ceren , Koca Peker Şeyda Nur
Published: June 2024

The capitalist framework drives both individuals and society to incline towards consumption as a result of excess production. The excessive consumption of culture has led to the commodification of culture, giving rise to a cultural industry problem. The development of social relationships within the sphere of language and literature in the cultural sector also transforms into a consumption factor, which parallels with popular culture in contemporary times. Literary and artistic creations have also been commercialized within popular culture. As a result, the popular works of literature are made accessible to readers worldwide through translation. This study aims to discuss the positioning of popular literary works in the Turkish cultural system through translation within the framework of the concept of the culture industry. In this context, The Little Prince, one of the most universally translated works, was chosen as the object of study. The reason is the popularity of the work as well as its narrative, which has sparked numerous debates within the context of translation in Turkey. The study will explore how the reception of this work varies across translations, and its presentation to readers with different ideologies within the Turkish cultural system, using culture industry theory as a framework.

Moreover, the number of people living in urban area is more and increasing at least 2.1% per year according to Central Statistics Agency (BPS). Hence, urban area has better transportation access and public facilites. However, high number of people living in urban area leads to spatial confilcts if spatial planning is not carried out based on sustainable development. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out long-term spatial planning using predictions of changes in land use/land cover in Indonesia. The purpose of this literature review is to get an overview of research development trends related to predictions of land use/land cover in Indonesia. Based on bibliometric analysis, the research trend related to this topic is that most research locations are in urban areas using satellite imagery input data and the Cellular AutomataMarcov Chain (CA-MC) method for making predictive models. Meanwhile, open source land cover datasets have not been widely used in land use/land cover prediction research in Indonesia. This can be used as input for updating further research.

The Ariake catfish, Tachysurus aurantiacus, is a freshwater fish endemic to Kyushu Island, Japan. However, these catfish are now endangered owing to environmental changes. Despite their status, there is scant quantitative research on the Ariake catfish regarding their potential conservation. The Yabe River is a typical catfish habitat situated in the northern part of Kyushu Island (Ariake Area) and has a unique civil engineering heritage, as represented by the so-called ‘detour canal’. The canals were created owing to competition by two Domains to divert additional water resources into their own territory for rice cultivation during the Edo Period (1603–1867). To fill the research gap on the Ariake catfish and assess the ecological value of detour canals, in this study, we conducted a survey of local catfish populations and nine environmental parameters that can affect them. We found that the population volume of the Ariake catfish was significantly higher in canals than in ordinary branch rivers. Although the detour canals were not originally constructed for biodiversity conservation, they nonetheless unintentionally provide catfish habitat at present. As these canals represent a remarkable example of a contribution by a civil engineering heritage structure to biodiversity conservation, our study should be used as a potential justification for preserving the canals, as well as conserving the aquatic species that utilise them as vital habitat.

Botryosphaeriales species are important pathogens that have worldwide distribution. In this study, 23 Botryosphaeriales strains were isolated from 13 host species during a dieback disease survey in Beijing, China. Based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses, six Botryosphaeriales species were identified, including two new species named Dothiorella hortiarborumsp. nov. and Phaeobotryon fraxinisp. nov., and four new host records: Aplosporella ginkgonis from Cotinus coggygria var. cinereus, A. javeedii from Acer miyabei, Acer truncatum, Forsythia suspensa, Lagerstroemia indica, Sambucus williamsii, Syringa vulgaris, Ulmus pumila, Xanthoceras sorbifolium, A. yanqingensis from Acer truncatum, and Do. acericola from Forsythia suspensa, Ginkgo biloba, and Syringa oblata. This study enriches the species diversity associated with tree dieback in Beijing, China, and contributes to the further study of the taxonomy of this order.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) of hospitalised patients with cardiomyopathy (CM) treated with a fixed dose combination (FDC) of sacubitril/valsartan, or standard therapy in Kazakhstan during or after COVID-19.

This is an observational study of patients with incidents of CM that require hospitalisation during or after a COVID-19 infection. QoL was evaluated with the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) during admission. Demographic and other characteristics of the patients were analysed for both patient groups: on standard therapy and on FDC therapy with sacubitril/valsartan.

Patients on standard therapy tended to be older and had a higher relative share of previous cardiac surgery. The vaccination rate is low in general and was lower in the group on standard therapy. The QoL between the two groups was significantly higher in the group on FDC therapy. No statistically significant difference in the QoL between males and females was found. The vaccination status also does not influence the QoL. Patients with prior surgery possess a higher quality of life. QoL in younger patients is higher. There is a statistically significant negative correlation between age and QoL, and with the increase in age over one year, the quality of life will decrease by 0.3622 points.

Sacubitril/valsartan is associated with higher QoL in hospitalised patients with CM during or after COVID-19. QoL is correlated with age. Vaccination does not affect QoL, but patients with prior cardiac surgeries possess a higher QoL.
Eriotheca paganuccii (Bombacoideae, Malvaceae), a new endangered species from montane forests in the Atlantic Forest of Bahia, northeastern Brazil

Published: June 2024

A new species of Eriotheca (Bombacoideae, Malvaceae) from montane wet forests in the Atlantic Forest of Bahia, northeastern Brazil, is described and illustrated. It is known from only three populations situated between 750 m and 850 m in elevation on mountain summits and categorized as Endangered (EN) based on IUCN criteria. Eriotheca paganuccii is distinct from all congeners by the combination of coriaceous to strongly coriaceous leaves and remarkable few-seeded, globose to subglobose woody capsules that contain scanty kapok and the largest seeds known in the genus to date. The affinities of E. paganuccii to morphologically similar species as well as the importance of obtaining phenologically complete collections are discussed.
Differential equations frameworks and models for the physics of biological systems
Authors: Bianca Carlo
Published: June 2024

The modeling of biological systems has recently gained much attention considering the possibility to describe the time evolution of a biological system by employing differential equations. Different frameworks have been proposed depending on the number of dynamic variables. Ordinary differential equations (ODE) are employed if time is the only dynamic variable; partial differential equations (PDE) are proposed when, in addition to the time variable, space and/or velocity variables are considered. In the context of differential equation models, new frameworks have been proposed where stochastic terms are added to classical deterministic terms. A specific model is proposed when the differential equations are coupled to initial and/or boundary conditions. This editorial article deals with the topic of this special issue, which is devoted to the new developments in the multiscale modeling of complex biological systems with special attention to the interplay between different scholars.

Studying the history of library classification makes it clear that attempts have been made to classify the knowledge in the universe in some way for various reasons. A library classification is a formal method or system provided based on a numbering system so that readers of a library can easily and efficiently reach the library materials or knowledge materials they need through access to the classification number. Accordingly, several major library classification systems have emerged so far. Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) System can be introduced as an excellent classification system among those classification systems. From time to time, several editions of the DDC appeared for different purposes. Meanwhile, its 23rd edition can be identified as the most widely used latest edition. This article provides a brief study of the changes and new trends between the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd editions of the DDC System.
