Regeneration of Military Brownfield Sites: A Possible Tool for Mitigating Urban Sprawl?
Authors: Szabó Bence , Kovalcsik Tamás , Kovács Zoltán
Published: January 2025

Urban sprawl and brownfields are recognized as the main challenges for sustainable land use in post-industrial cities. Using a mixed methodology (GIS and interviews) this research aimed to examine the relationship between the redevelopment process of former Soviet military brownfields and urban sprawl in Hungary. Research findings highlighted the overall importance of the regeneration of military brownfields in urban development, however, not all the assessed projects appeared to be beneficial to densification objectives. We could identify two groups of brownfields those lying within the boundaries of the compact city and outside. Regeneration of military brownfields embedded in the built-up areas of cities can contribute to densification objectives, and attract new functions and residents to abandoned areas. They can also support wider regeneration strategies of local governments especially in run-down neighborhoods. However, a large number of military brownfields are located on the peripheries of metropolitan areas. The regeneration of such sites, as it was demonstrated by the case-studies, can play a catalyst role in urban sprawl. Therefore, it is important to emphasize that local municipalities should make a careful strategic selection of military brownfield sites for redevelopment based upon their characteristics and location, as supported by the typology presented in this study together with socio-economic and risk factors perceived locally.

Temporomandibular joint replacement is a critical intervention for severe temporomandibular joint disorders, enhancing pain levels, jaw function, and overall quality of life. In this study, we compare two finite element method-based simulation workflows from both academic and industrial perspectives, focusing on a patient-specific case involving a custom-made temporomandibular joint prosthesis. Using computed tomography data and computer-aided design data, we generated different 3D models and performed mechanical testing, including wear and static compression tests. The results demonstrate that the academic, retrospective, and purely image-based approach, applied post-operatively, yields biomechanical insights comparable to those derived from the industrial, pre-operative, planning-based process, which is additionally guided by regulatory requirements and approval protocols. Minor variations between the two workflows are primarily due to different assumptions, simplifications and constraints imposed by the regulatory framework. To elaborate the differences, various models were generated in the academic workflow, partly based on the data of the industrial process. These findings underscore the potential of patient-specific simulations not only to refine temporomandibular joint prosthesis design and enhance patient outcomes, but also to highlight the interplay between academic research methodologies and industrial standards in the development of medical devices.

Background: Microsporidia MB (MB), a promising biological control agent suppresses Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Anopheles mosquitoes. Methods: This study examined the spatial distribution of MB infection in natural populations of An. gambiae s.l. mosquitoes collected in Nigeria and Niger Republic, and its potential modulation of insecticide susceptibility in the Anopheles mosquitoes. Results: The overall prevalence of MB in F₀ mosquitoes was 12.25% (95% CI: 7.76%-16.75%); 25 mosquitoes out of 204 were positive. Geographic variation was observed, with a higher prevalence (5/15 mosquitoes) in Ebonyi State (33.33%, 95% CI: 9.48%-57.19%, Fisher's exact test, p = 0.008). Infection rates were higher in An. coluzzii mosquitoes (21/133 mosquitoes), estimated at 15.79% (95% CI: 9.59%-21.99%) compared to An. gambiae s.s. mosquitoes (4/67), approximately 5.63% (95% CI: 0.27%-11.00%), χ² = 4.44; df = 1, p = 0.035)]. Resistant mosquitoes had a significantly higher prevalence of MB infection at 28.57% (95% CI: 16.74%-40.40%) and OR of 3.33 (95% CI: 1.23-9.03, p = 0.017) compared with susceptible mosquitoes. Conclusion: MB has wide geographic distribution across Nigeria and Niger Republic. An. coluzzii and resistant mosquitoes are more infected with this fungi. Understanding the geographic and species-specific infection patterns and implication in insecticide resistance could guide targeted vector control strategies using this biological agent.

Published: January 2025

The chilled ready-meal market in New Zealand has witnessed substantial growth, fuelled by the increasing demand for convenient food options. This study employs a social psychological approach, integrating Theory of Consumption Value (TCV) to extend the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). It examines the impact of lifestyle, consumer knowledge, sensory properties, subjective norms, consumer choice behaviour, consumption habits, and perceived behavioural control on the purchase intention of meat-based chilled ready meals. Insights into consumer attitudes highlight the positive influence of lifestyle, consumer knowledge and sensory properties on attitudes toward meat-based chilled ready meals. However, these attitudes negatively impacted purchase intention, emphasising a nuanced consumer decision-making process. Subjective norms, particularly social influences, played a significant role in shaping consumers’ intentions. Consumer choice behaviour, encompassing conditional value, epistemic value and emotional value, significantly influenced purchase intentions, with consumption habits emerging as the strongest predictor. Price had the highest influence on perceived behavioural control, while information on packaging had little direct effect on perceived behavioural control. The findings of this study provide actionable insights for businesses to tailor marketing strategies and enhance consumer acceptance by improving product quality and sensory appeal of meat-based chilled ready meals in New Zealand.

Published: January 2025

Face recognition is a crucial area in computer vision and biometric applications, playing a significant role in security, authentication, and human-computer interaction. Despite its importance, traditional face recognition methods often encounter challenges such as variations in lighting, changes in facial expressions, and the presence of occlusions, which can affect their effectiveness. To address these limitations, hybrid approaches that combine multiple techniques have proven to enhance recognition accuracy and robustness, offering improved performance in diverse and challenging scenarios.This paper presents a hybrid approach combining Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Fuzzy Logic, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers for accurate and robust face recognition. The proposed model leverages the feature extraction capabilities of CNNs, the classification precision of SVMs, and the decision-making strength of Fuzzy Logic. Specifically, we use the ResNet50 CNN model to identify key facial features. The proposed method also employs Support Vector Machines (SVM) to achieve precise classification and fuzzy logic rules to refine the decision-making process by handling uncertainties and imprecise data effectively, enhancing the overall reliability of the system.Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of this hybrid model in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and robustness compared to existing techniques. Additionally, the results confirm that this hybrid approach enhances the robustness and adaptability of face recognition systems in real-world conditions. These findings highlight the potential of this integration to develop more reliable and efficient frameworks for practical applications.

Published: January 2025

Inhibin (INH) plays a key role in the regulation of the reproductive performance of geese. It inhibits the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion from the anterior pituitary gland to regulate spermatogenesis. Immunization against INH in male geese leads to the production of antibodies to neutralize the INH activity that enhances testicular function and gonadotropin production. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the potential role of immunization against INH on testicular histology, plasma LH, pituitary PRL mRNA, and hypothalamic VIP mRNA expressions in Yangzhou Ganders. A total of 60 birds were selected and divided into control (CON) and INH immunized (INH immunized), having 30 in each group. In this experiment, the ganders were immunized with INH three times, and birds in the CON group were inoculated with bovine serum albumin (BSA). Analyzed data revealed that immunization against inhibin has no significant effects on improving the plasma concentration of LH hormone, germ cell numbers, hypothalamic VIP mRNA, and pituitary PRL mRNA expressions. It is concluded that INH (INH) immunization is a sublime tool to improve reproductive efficiency in Yangzhou ganders, however, INH immunization may have a positive effect on pituitary PRL mRNA and hypothalamic mRNA expressions and LH plasma concentration. The seasonality has played a vital impact on its hypothalamus pituitary gonadal (HPG) axis.

The Artemis missions will establish a sustainable human presence on the Moon, serving as a crucial steppingstone for future Mars exploration. Astronauts on these ambitious missions will have to successfully complete complex tasks, which will frequently involve rapid and effective decision-making under unfamiliar or high-pressure conditions. Exposure to low doses of space radiation (SR) can impair key executive functions critical to decision-making. This study examined the effects of exposure to 10 cGy of Galactic Cosmic Ray simulated radiation (GCRsim) on decision-making performance in male and female rats with a naturally low predisposition for risk-taking (RTP) prior to exposure. Rats were assessed at monthly intervals following SR exposure, and the RTP performance contrasted to that observed during the prescreening process. Exposure to 10 cGy of GCRsim impairs decision-making in both male and female rats, with sex-dependent outcomes. By 30 days after SR exposure female rats became more risk-prone, making less profitable decisions, while male rats retained their decision-making strategies but took significantly longer to make selections. However, continued practice in the RTP tasks appears to reduce/reverse these performance deficits. This study has expanded our understanding of the range of cognitive processes impacted by SR to include decision-making.

Published: January 2025

Functional characterization of peptide fraction (PF) from snake venom has provided novel opportunities to investigate possible neuroprotective compounds relevant to pharmaceuticals. This study was performed to investigate the PF-mediated neuroprotection obtained from Naja mandalayensis snake venom, a member of the Elapidae family, using two neuronal cell lines: undifferentiated PC12 and differentiated mHippoE-18, in response to H2O2-induced oxidative stress. Cells were pretreated for 4 h with PF (10, 1, 0.01, and 0.001 μg mL⁻1), thereafter exposed to H2O2 (0.5 mmol L⁻1) for 20 h. Then, the oxidative stress markers and label-free differential proteome strategy were analyzed to understand the neuroprotective effects of PF. In PC12 cells, PF showed no neuroprotective effects against oxidative stress. In mHippoE-18 cells, PF at 0.01 and 0.001 μg mL⁻1 increased viability and metabolism of cells against H2O2-induced neurotoxicity, reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Interestingly, PF also exhibited a substantial reduction in baseline ROS levels compared to the control, indicating that PF could have compounds with antioxidant features. The comparative proteomic profiling identified 53 proteins with differential expression related to antioxidant action, catalysis, molecular function regulators, structural molecule activity, translation regulatory activity, ATP, and binding. The PF + H₂O₂ group indicated that protein expression is 6% upregulated, 4% downregulated, and 94% unchanged compared to the H2O2 group. Three significant proteins upregulated in the PF + H2O2 group, including elongation factor 2 (P58252), proteasome subunit alpha type (E9Q0X0), and E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (A0A338P786), suggested that PF-mediated neuroprotection happens through translational regulation and the degradation of defective proteins via the proteasome complex. Additionally, differential protein expression in PF changed the metabolism, protein synthesis, synaptic activity, and intracellular transport, suggesting that PF contains the rich mixture of bioactive peptides of interest pharmacologically. Overall, this study offers new opportunities for evaluating whether PF's neuroprotective features in specific neuronal cells are maintained and to investigate neurodegenerative disease drug development processes.

Published: January 2025

Engineering equipment is an important material basis for supporting national defense security and promoting the development of the national economy. Large and complex mechanical equipment has a complex structural composition and numerous components, with a large number of connection structures such as bolts and flanges inside. Affected by long-term loading conditions, phenomena such as contact stiffness degradation will occur at the joint interface between components, thereby influencing the dynamic characteristics of the entire system and seriously affecting the reliability and performance of the equipment. By integrating microscopic contact mechanisms with cross-scale modelling approaches, the proposed contact framework can study the contact behavior of the joint interface more comprehensively. This paper summarizes the research status of the asperity contact model under two modeling methods, summarizes the research status of the statistical summation contact model from the assumptions of different asperity height distributions, outlines the current situation of the engineering application of the joint interface contact model, and looks forward to the research directions of the cross-scale model of connection structures in the future.

Published: January 2025

The aquatic macrophyte Brasenia schreberi J. F. Gmel., widely cultivated in China, faces challenges including damage from pests such as Galerucella birmanica Jacoby. This study investigated the population dynamics and spatial distribution of G. birmanica in a B. schreberi aquaculture system from May to November. G. birmanica occurred for several generations, the first population peaked in July, with abundant eggs, larvae, pupae and adults all being recorded. The beetles were nearly absent during the peak summer heat in August, but the population rebounded extraordinary in September, with eggs accounting for 85.4% of the whole population. The distribution of G. birmanica exhibited a conspicuous aggregation phenomenon, with severely chewed area having an average G. birmanica abundance 21.6 times higher than that of the non or lightly chewed area. Further study revealed that there are four special volatile compounds with discrepancy in amount released from intact and damaged leaves, cis-3-hexenyl acetate, 2-phenylethyl isothiocyanate, undecane and methyl salicylate, among these, 2-phenylethyl isothiocyanate was more abundant in damaged leaves and significantly attracted G. birmanica adults, indicating that the damaged B. schreberi leaves may sacrifice themselves by attracting G. birmanica to small regions, thus protect the whole plant population from pest disturbance.
On the Spectral Effects of Time Interval Subdivisions
Authors: Nelson-Isaacs Sky
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the irreducible nature of temporal intervals and their implications for quantum wavefunction propagation, drawing on the formal parallels between scalar diffraction theory and quantum mechanics. By treating temporal intervals as unified entities encoded in the frequency domain, this approach emphasizes the role of Fourier transforms in defining discrete, indivisible intervals. Attempts to subdivide such intervals introduce spectral artifacts, analogous to Gibbs ringing in signal processing, fundamentally altering the system’s physical characteristics. This framework challenges the notion of continuous time evolution and instead posits a holistic view where discrete intervals define the trajectory of quantum systems. Experimental implications are discussed, including applications in time-energy entanglement, attosecond light pulses, analyzing starlight, and quantum cryptography. Ontological implications are discussed.
Contrasting Effects of Platelet GPVI Deletion versus Syk Inhibition on Mouse Jugular Vein Puncture Wound Structure
Authors: Pokrovskaya Irina D. , Ball Kelly K. , Webb Michael W. , Rhee Sung W. , Ware Jerry , Storrie Brian
Published: January 2025

Platelet glycoprotein (GP)VI is a transmembrane protein that was originally characterized as a collagen receptor supporting platelet adhesion and activation through its association with the Fc receptor g-chain (FcRg). The FcRg subunit contains immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) that recruit and activate Syk (spleen tyrosine kinase), a key player in intracellular signaling pathways. Absence or dysfunction of GPVI produces a mild bleeding defect in humans similar to the impaired hemostasis reported in the murine knockout. Here, we have taken an ultrastructure approach to examine the impact of ligand binding to GPVI versus the downstream pharmacologic inhibition of the GPVI-dependent signaling pathway. Clots were generated for analysis following a puncture wound in the mouse external jugular vein. Images were obtained using mice genetically missing GPVI and mice pretreated with the Syk inhibitor, BI 1002494. Our study was designed to test the hypothesis that the predominant contribution of GPVI to hemostasis is mediated by a Syk-dependent signaling cascade. If true, clot structure observed with a Syk inhibitor versus the GPVI knockout would be similar. If the extracellular domains of the protein had a Syk-independent platelet adhesion role, then significant comparative differences in thrombus structure would be expected. Our results clearly indicate an important, Syk-independent role of the GPVI extracellular domain in the adherence of platelets within the intravascular crown of a growing venous clot, a site distant from exposed collagen-rich adventitia. In striking contrast, the adventitial proximal role of GPVI was Syk-dependent with the GPVI knockout and Syk inhibitor giving the same, limited structural outcome of collagen-proximal platelet cytosol loss and a thinned extravascular cap. Consistent with the lesser role of Syk-dependent processes on thrombus structure, Syk inhibitor had no detectable effect on jugular puncture wound bleeding times while the knockout had a statistically significant, but modest effect on bleeding time. Based on this contrast, we suggest that Syk inhibition may be the more selective approach to modulating the role of GPVI in occlusive clotting.

ABSTRACT: Corporate bank managers' adaptability to fintech disruption is critical for business sustainability. Analyzing data from 84 strategic business units in Nigerian banks, this study examines how incumbents respond to disruption, hypothesizing that an entrepreneurial mindset positively influences survival strategies. Results show a high coefficient of determination, indicating strong predictive accuracy for managerial responses. This suggests banks can effectively manage fintech-driven competition while sustaining internal innovation without restructuring. Policymakers should encourage adaptive strategies that integrate fintech innovations while maintaining structural stability. Regulatory frameworks must support incumbents in leveraging traditional business models to counter fintech competition without stifling innovation. Promoting collaboration between banks and fintech firms is essential for fostering a balanced and competitive financial ecosystem.

The increasing demand for engaging UI/UX designs has highlighted the importance of color selection as a critical element influencing user engagement and aesthetics. However, existing design tools such as Figma and Adobe XD lack advanced, context-aware AI functionalities, particularly in areas like automated palette generation, real-time analytics, and beginner-friendly interfaces. These gaps hinder accessibility for novice designers and force reliance on third-party plugins, which can complicate workflows. This study introduces AI-UIX, an AI-driven system that integrates functionalities such as image-based color extraction, palette generation using additive and subtractive models, and AI-powered recommendations through third-party APIs. The system is developed using modular methodologies and evaluated through computational complexity analysis, expert validation rubrics, and user-centered metrics like ease of use and feature relevance. Results showed that AI-UIX significantly enhances design workflows by automating color selection and generating contextually relevant palettes. Expert validation indicated strong accuracy and usability, with over 90% of participants rating the system as highly effective and user-friendly. Furthermore, computational analysis demonstrated linear scalability, making the system adaptable for both novice and advanced designers. AI-UIX addresses key limitations in existing tools and provides a streamlined, intuitive interface that bridges the gap for users with limited design expertise. This innovation has the potential to transform UI/UX design processes and will be further refined based on broader user feedback to extend its capabilities.

Authors: Qian Rubin , Kim Kitak
Published: January 2025

Digital technology has greatly influenced the way the public engages in sports activities. However, the behavioral decision-making process associated with the adoption of digital technology for sports participation remains unclear. This study employs the Behavioral Reasoning Theory to elucidate the cognitive processes underlying participants' behavioral intentions by examining the reasons for and against the adoption, as well as the influence of self-efficacy. The model presented is a theoretical expansion of the current innovation frameworks within sports management and marketing. Findings indicate that the reasons against adoption by respondents exert a more substantial impact on their attitudes and behavioral intentions than the reasons for adoption. Perceived enjoyment and perceived barriers to use are identified as the leading factors for reasons in favor of and against adoption, respectively. The study also highlights the pivotal role of participants' self-efficacy in the cognitive decision-making process concerning the adoption of digital technology for sports participation. To amplify the impact of digital technology within the sports domain, it delineates the reasons for and against adoption and to account for the influence of self-efficacy in the decision-making process, thereby ensuring that the integration of digital technology with sports more effectively addresses the practical needs of participants.

The family is the first socialization agent that children get since they are born into the world. The role of the family is very significant in the formation of a child's character. One of them is the role in overcoming drug abuse behavior and free sex among children and adolescents. This study uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological design, exploring the perceptions of children and adolescents towards drug abuse and free sex. The determination of informants is done through purposive sampling, while data sources are obtained from observation, unstructured interviews, documentation, and literature studies. Triangulation of data and theory is used for data validity, by integrating Structural Functionalism theory from Talcott Parsons and conflict theory from Karl Marx in analyzing how the role of family in Pagerwangi Village contributes to preventing drug abuse and free sex behavior in children and adolescents.   Strategic steps including passive observation and unstructured interviews are conducted to create a natural environment and gain in-depth information. The results showed that drug abuse and free sex in children and adolescents in Pagerwangi Village were caused by lack of parental supervision, low communication intensity, and inequality of access to information, so that families have not been optimal in carrying out social control functions. Intensive measures are needed, such as building a communicative family environment, providing age-appropriate education, and strengthening equal access to information to create a stable environment. 

 
GUNA-GUNA DAN REALITAS SOSIAL HINDIA BELANDA 1880-1930
Authors: Hindarto Teguh
Published: January 2025

Guna-Guna is a magical practice that has been going on for a long time, not only in the present but has been going on since the colonial era. It is very possible that the practice of guna-guna has had strong roots in people's lives before the arrival of Europeans and the occurrence of colonization in the Dutch East Indies. The phenomenon of guna-guna became a symptomatic practice in the colonial era and made Dutch people living in the Dutch East Indies experience an encounter with other aspects of a culture in the Indies. Cultural encounters through the phenomenon of guna-guna that spread in the community led to a number of responses and reactions ranging from discussions in community discussion forums, tonil performances and the publication of witch-themed romances. The phenomenon of guna-guna entered the life of the Dutch in the Indies through various channels of various social classes ranging from housemaids, nyai alias mistresses from the natives, business colleagues, colleagues of government employees, etc. This article places the phenomenon of guna-guna as part of a social fact – using the sociological concept of Emile Durkheim – which has attached itself to the socio-cultural life of the Indies community and as an external force that has brought a number of influences in various fields of life ranging from the formation of public knowledge, the emergence of distinctive vocabulary , performing arts and publishing a number of novels with the magical nuances of the Indies. Through qualitative research methodologies – literature review and text analysis of colonial documents in the form of newspapers and advertisements as well as romances – the phenomenon of guna-guna is analyzed from a number of selected cases and observes the development of terms and their impacts to get a picture of the social reality of the Dutch East Indies society in the colonial era.

Korean culture has become part of popular culture, giving birth to the Korean wave phenomenon. In Indonesia, Muslims are involved as fans of Korean popular culture, including in their food consumption. For this reason, this research aims to explore the experiences of Muslim Korean fans with halal Korean food and how they negotiate Islam with Korean popular culture through food. This research is field research using descriptive qualitative research methods. The research was conducted at waroeng Hana Gimbab Yogyakarta by conducting interviews with six consumers. The results of this research explain that Muslims' involvement in popular culture as Korean fans shapes their social identity as Muslims and Korean fans. This is done to participate in emerging cultural trends. Apart from that, popular culture also creates a culture of consumerism for Muslim Korean fans, where they consume Korean food as a form of merging with Korean popular culture. In this context, there are two negotiation patterns carried out by Korean Muslim fans regarding Korean food. First, there are strict negotiations, where the encouragement of piety encourages them to adopt halal consumption patterns. Second, there are looser negotiations, where some Muslim Korean fans do not really question the halalness of food and are more free to experiment with consuming Korean food.

Published: January 2025

Traditional houses are attached to life because they are the space and place where indigenous people live. Generally, traditional houses in the Toraja tribe are known as tongkonan. Meanwhile, there is also another traditional house from the Toraja Mamasa tribe (West Toraja) as a sub-tribe of Toraja that has a special traditional house called banua. For the Toraja Mamasa people, the meaning of a traditional house is more than that. In fact, banua is not just a place to live, but a space that contains religious values within it. Indigenous people have beliefs about banua as a sacred traditional house. The purpose of this research is to argue the sacredness of the banua traditional house of the Toraja Mamasa tribe in shaping the connectivity and collectivity of indigenous peoples with local beliefs. This research used a qualitative approach with a realist ethnography research type. Data collection was conducted using interview techniques and documents, including the use of books and scientific articles. The results showed that the sacredness of the banua traditional house and the kitchen space (lombon) in particular became the basis for the formation of their connectivity and collectivity as indigenous peoples with local beliefs. The most sacred part is the kitchen. The sacredness of the banua socio-theologically functions to construct their communal identity and religiosity related to connectivity and collectivity.

The phenomenon of the increasing number of child-friendly villages (Kampung Ramah Anak, KRA) is directly proportional to the growing number of cases of unsustainability in their management, with some even experiencing stagnation. Various development strategies have been implemented to support KRA initiatives, one of which involves transforming these villages into educational tourism destinations. This approach is designed to enhance public interest in KRA while strengthening local community participation in their management.This phenomenon serves as the scientific rationale for determining the object of study in this research, which focuses on the development of child-friendly village-based educational tourism in Sabrangrowo Hamlet, Borobudur Village, Magelang Regency. The research seeks to answer the question: How sustainable is the development of child-friendly village-based educational tourism in Sabrangrowo Hamlet?. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, grounded in three main variables from Jim Ife's community development theory: (1) increasing critical awareness within the community, (2) fostering active participation of the target community, and (3) ensuring the sustainability of development through independent initiatives by the target community.The research findings indicate that the development of child-friendly village-based educational tourism in Sabrangrowo has not progressed, with KRA management showing signs of stagnation. The primary causal factors identified are: (1) efforts to increase critical awareness were primarily focused on youth groups as the main managers, without involving the broader community, and (2) the development program design, which was based on local aspirations, proved less effective because the Sabrangrowo community lacked sufficient knowledge and experience in managing child-friendly village-based educational tourism.The findings emphasize the importance of developing an integrative model of child-friendly village-based educational tourism, supported by intensive mentoring strategies. Such assistance aims to prepare the community to independently manage the program, ensuring sustainability in the long term.

This research examines how gender stereotypes shape the social construction of women as leaders, often perceiving them as less competent than men. Focusing on the 2024 East Java Gubernatorial Election, where all candidates are women, the study aims to understand university students' perceptions of women's leadership. It analyzes the influence of patriarchal norms on these perceptions and explores how views may vary based on gender, cultural background, and geography. Utilizing Peter L. Berger's social construction theory, which consists of three stages—externalization, objectivation, and internalization—the study employs a qualitative approach, conducting in-depth interviews. The research involved 12 participants: six students with East Java ID cards and six students from outside East Java who are currently studying in Surabaya. Participants were selected through purposive sampling to ensure representation from various study programs and included individuals aged 18 to 25. This approach aimed to encompass a diverse range of social, educational, and geographical backgrounds. The data were analyzed thematically through processes of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that gender stereotypes remain a significant obstacle, particularly among male students who tend to be skeptical of women's leadership abilities. However, progressive views are starting to emerge, especially among female students and the younger generation, who evaluate leadership based on individual competence rather than gender. The 2024 East Java gubernatorial election is viewed as a crucial opportunity to shift the patriarchal social construct toward greater gender equality.

During the period of 29 years, the Central Java Provincial Government has implemented strategic research formulation for flood reduction efforts. One solution for flood management is building a dam. The built dam has the potential to generate electricity. The purpose of the activity is to analyze the turbine speed triangle from the results of the technical design. The method used is the analysis of the turbine speed triangle at an entry angle of 12-14°. The results of the triangle analysis obtained show the F value at 14-12° of 34695.5, 34761.6, and 34847.7 N.m. Torque at 14° were 5313, 5320, and 5330 N.m. Torque at 13° were 5363, 5370, and 5380 N.m. Torque 12° were 5401, 5409, and 5418 N.m. P at 14-12° were 641.5, 642.9, and 644.1 kW. The efficiency of ηo and ηm is 0.90 % and 0.95 %. The conclusion of the application of the turbine speed triangle analysis at an angle of 4-6° is that the optimum turbine efficiency is at an opening angle of 12° with the ability to increase turbine power by 14.79 % and efficiency by 14.66 %.

This study focuses on analyzing the structural strength of car deck construction in roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) passenger ships. Ro-ro ships are designed to transport both vehicles and passengers, in which vehicles can drive in and out under their own power. While these ships are operational, there is a potential for improvement in their construction strength, particularly in the car deck area. The car deck is a critical structural component as it bears both vehicle loads and supports the upper decks. This research analyzes the car deck's structural integrity, which was initially designed for trucks and sport utility vehicles (SUV), under various conditions including calm water, sagging, and hogging scenarios. Using both finite element method (FEM) analysis through ANSYS software and manual calculations via Excel, the study evaluates maximum stress points and deflection. The 3D modeling was completed using Fusion 360, while 2D drawings were created in AutoCAD. Results revealed that the highest stress occurs during hogging conditions with truck loads, showing 188.23 MPa stress and 0.077128 m deflection. With a safety factor of 1.3281, these values comply with Indonesian Classification Bureau (BKI) standards, which require stress below 250 MPa and a safety factor above 1.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly advancing as a sustainable transportation solution in the global effort to reduce carbon emissions. There are four main types of EVs: battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). This article reviews each EV type's advantages, limitations, and prospects based on energy efficiency, carbon emissions, technological development, and infrastructure readiness. The findings indicate that BEVs hold the most significant potential for personal vehicles and urban transportation, while FCEVs are more suited for heavy-duty and long-distance applications. PHEVs and HEVs are considered transition solutions, but their relevance is expected to decrease as technology and global policies evolve. BEVs provide zero emissions. PHEVs provide high flexibility, while HEVs do not require charging infrastructure, and FCEVs offer zero emissions and long-range and fast charging times. FCEV can travel up to more than 800 KM, which is very promising for the distance travelled problem, which is a challenge for electric vehicles.

Published: January 2025

The prevalence of deepfake technology has led to increased risks to biometric security, social media integrity, and the useof audio and video content for disinformation. In response, studies have progressed to provide efficient detecting techniques.Specifically, this paper uses anomaly-based classifiers to give a comparative analysis of zero-shot learning-based deepfakedetection. We evaluate two classifiers: One-Class Support Vector Machine (OCSVM) and Isolation Forest (IF) with threedifferent feature settings: Gabor features, Latent features, and Fused features (a mix of Gabor and Latent features). Importantmeasures like F1 Score, Accuracy, Precision, and Recall are used to assess how well the classifiers perform. Our resultsprovide important insights and future directions into the relationship between feature types and classifier performance in thesetting of zero-shot learning.

Exposure of the apoptotic “eat me” signal factor, phosphatidylserine, is important for cell corpse clearance (efferocytosis) through macrophage recognition, which is induced by scramblases, such as Xkr8, in a caspase-dependent manner. Drosophila Xkr, the Xkr8 homolog, lacks caspase recognition sites, implying an alternative efferocytosis pathway. Here, we show that Xkr exhibits scramblase activity to mediate PS exposure in apoptosis through direct interaction with the transmembrane protein TM9SF4 and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) phospholipase Sac1. Additionally, Xkr specifically accumulates at ER-plasma membrane (PM) contact sites by directly interacting with the pleckstrin homology domain of Drosophila OSBP (dORP9). The formation of this Xkr-dORP9-TM9SF4-Sac1 complex structurally stabilizes ER-PM junctions to enable non-vesicular PS translocation to the PM. Moreover, the suppression of Xkr or other complex components disrupts non-vesicular PS transport, consequently impairing efferocytosis in vitro and in vivo. Similarly, mammalian ORP8 mediates apoptotic PS exposure through its interaction with Xkr8. These results reveal a previously unrecognized function of the lipid scramblase, Xkr, as a structural tethering factor that helps maintain ER-PM contact sites to mediate PS transport and exposure in efferocytosis.
