Confirmada la presencia reciente de la macaón meridional (Papilio alexanor Esper, 1799) en Croacia (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae)
Authors: Verovnik R. , Svara V.
Published: June 2024

Han pasado cinco décadas desde la última presencia confirmada de la macaón meridional (Papilio alexanor Esper, 1799) en Croacia. La especie no se ha observado en las localidades históricas, pero la encontramos en siete nuevos lugares entre Split y la región al sur del Río Neretva. El hábitat está muy restringido y se caracteriza por roquedos calcáreos en pendientes escarpadas con abundancia de la planta nutricia de las larvas, Opopanax chironium (L.) Koch. Debido a la severa fragmentación y el declive continuo, inferido por su extinción de las localidades conocidas en el pasado, consideramos a la especie como vulnerable (VU) en Croacia siguiendo los criterios de la UICN.

The Effect of Aerobic Exercise and Pistachio Soft Hull Extract on the Expression of the Il-6 and IL-1β Genes in the Soleus Muscle of Female Rats Fed a High-Fat Diet
Authors: Barshan Hadi , Azarbayjani Mohammad Ali , Rahmati Saleh , Peeri Maghsoud
Published: June 2024

Background: Obesity is considered the most important public health problem. Previous studies have confirmed that a high-fat diet (HFD) can cause the development of systemic and tissue inflammation due to the increase in pro-inflammatory markers. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise and pistachio soft hull extract (PSHE) on inflammatory gene expression in the soleus muscle of rats fed a HFD. Methods: In an experimental trial, 30 female Wistar rats weighing between 180 and 200 grams were selected as subjects and randomly divided into five groups: Normal diet control, HFD control, HFD aerobic exercise, HFD-PSHE, and HFD aerobic exercise-PSHE. The aerobic exercise program consisted of four weeks of five weekly sessions of running on a treadmill at an intensity of 50 – 60% VO2max. Pistachio soft hull extract at a dose of 60 mg/kg was administered to the rats by gavage for four weeks, five times a week. Forty-eight hours after the last interventions, the rats were anesthetized, and the soleus muscle was removed to determine the expression of the IL-6 and IL-1β genes. Results: Induction of HFD significantly decreased IL-6 (P = 0.001) and increased IL-1β (P = 0.001) gene expression. IL-1β gene expression in the aerobic exercise (P = 0.001), PSHE (P = 0.003), and aerobic exercise-PSHE (P = 0.001) groups was significantly lower than in the HFD control group. Aerobic exercise (P = 0.002), PSHE (P = 0.002), and the combination of aerobic exercise and PSHE (P = 0.003) caused a significant increase in IL-6 gene expression compared to the HFD control group. Conclusions: High-fat diet promotes inflammation in skeletal muscle by increasing the expression of the IL-1β and IL-6 genes. Aerobic exercise, PSHE, and the combination of aerobic exercise and PSHE can exert their anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the expression of the IL-1β and IL-6 genes in skeletal muscle tissue.

: A Popular Ideograph among Evangelical Catholics
Authors: Bennett-Carpenter Ben , Mccallion Michael J. , Maines David R. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: June 2024

In America and beyond, Roman Catholics have recently taken up the common phrase  used by evangelical Protestants. Far from remaining eccentric in a Catholic context, the phrase has been used in recent years at local, national, and international levels in the Roman Catholic Church. Building on the work of Michael McGee and others (McGee, 1975, 1980, 2001; Martin, 1983; Charland, 1987; Larson, 1992; Maines and Bridger, 1992; Condit & Lucaites, 1993; Delgado, 1995, 1999; Moore, 1996; Edwards & Winkler 1997; Cloud, 2004; Palczewski, 2005; Hayden, 2009), we suggest that  operates as a popular ideographic phrase within the context of "evangelical Catholics." This observation and analysis is important because it may indicate a shift in religious identity among Catholics that could suggest, among other things, a growing rhetorical convergence with evangelical Protestants. It also points to the ongoing power of ideographs in religious contexts.
Christian Rhetorical Theory: A New (Re)Turn
Authors: Chase Kenneth R. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: June 2024

Responding to Martin Medhurst’s call for a “fully rounded Christian rhetorical theory,” I claim that a focus on orthodox Christian doctrine provides an auspicious beginning for a strong rhetorical theory. This claim runs counter to the belief that doctrine is incompatible with a non-foundationalist rhetorical epistemology. In establishing this claim, I examine how Christian communication scholars have relied on the doctrine of Christ’s incarnation to build rhetorical theory and how such use typically relies on theological error. Correcting this error leads to a robust Christian rhetoric in which truth is eloquent and persuasion is an act of faithful obedience.

An additional regression procedure revealed a positive relationship between job satisfaction and communication competence and satisfaction and an inverse relationship with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Lastly, examination of Pearson’s r correlations revealed statistically significant, moderately strong, inverse associations between intrinsic religiosity and all three measures of burnout included in this study.
Posting Notes on Buddhism: Aung San Suu Kyi’s Rhetoric of Postcolonial Subjectivity
Authors: Gorsevski Ellen W. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: June 2024

This essay explores Aung San Suu Kyi’s rhetoric, which features Buddhism as an integral way to address, both culturally and politically, postcolonial subjectivity. Suu Kyi’s infusion of religion in political communication demonstrates heuristic interconnections between communication studies of rhetoric and postcolonial discourses. Western educated, and widow to an Englishman, she counters political adversaries’ attempts to frame her as a token Westerner, one who is only Burmese in name or ethnicity. Having mastered Buddhist meditation, her religious affiliation strengthens her ethos. Valuing theoretical intersections between postcolonial studies and communication studies, this case study examines how Suu Kyi, as a postcolonial subject, uses Buddhism advantageously as a rhetorical means in her push to gain human rights and democratic practices and processes for Myanmar’s (Burma’s) stifled political system and its ethnically diverse people.

Navigating The Pedagogical Landscape: A Qualitative Inquiry Into Teachers’ Perceptions And Preparedness For Teaching License In Sindh, Pakistan
Authors: Naeem Akhtar  , Muhammad Munir Kayani
Published: June 2024

Quality of teachers’ development, recruitment, and retention holds substantial value when it comes to delivering quality education. In this paradigm, teaching licensing epitomizes the cornerstone of development as it brings professionalism in teaching, executing strict protocols of compliance with quality measures. In the context of Pakistan, the emergence of the Sindh Teaching License Policy has served as a progressive initiative towards elevating the educational caliber in the province to ensure teachers’ adherence and compliance to certain standards of skills, knowledge, and competence and, in turn, bringing professional proficiency to them. The current study is aimed at exploring teacher’s perceptions and readiness concerning the newly introduced teacher licensing system in the context of the province of Sindh, Pakistan. Data was analysed and presented by conducting a thematic analysis of interviews. Findings revealed that when asked about their perceptions, teachers expressed skepticism about licensing policy implementation, cited resource constraints, showed transparency and accountability concerns, called for better stakeholder engagement and support, and finally demanded clarity on policy, benefits, and its impact on their professional status. Moreover, while discussing their readiness and the barriers they encountered, teachers communicated a lack of readiness for the requirements as they felt the absence of formal training and support by their institutions, and the need for supportive resources and test materials. Furthermore, personal financial constraints, resistance to change, and inequity of access were notably hindering access to licensure at the primary individual levels. On the contrary, the senior educational faculty members recognized the significance and need for the policy initiative and careful implementation of the policy. The challenges highlighted include the involvement of private sector schools, the status of existing teachers, the importance of teacher involvement, and the government's responsibility for support. This research study emphasizes the need for dedicated efforts by policymakers and educational stakeholders to enhance teacher licensing and improve the quality of education in Sindh.

İşletmelerin karbon ayak izinin azaltılabilmesi için birçok strateji geliştirilebilir. Buna karşın, her bir iyileştirme maliyetlerin de artmasına sebebiyet vermektedir. Dolayısıyla, bu süreçte en fazla önem arz eden problemin tespit edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu sayede, daha fazla önem arz eden konulara yönelik etkin stratejilerin belirlenebilmesi mümkün olabilmektedir. Bu durum da stratejiler daha düşük maliyetle uygulanabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı işletmenin karbon ayak izinin azaltılabilmesi için etkin ve verimli stratejilerin belirlenmesidir. Bu kapsamda, çalışmanın temel araştırma sorusu karbon ayak izinin azaltılabilmesi için işletmelerin uygulaması gereken öncelikli stratejilerinin hangileri olduğunun tespit edilmesidir. Bu amaca ulaşabilmek için 4 farklı kriter belirlenmiştir. Bu kriterlerin önem ağırlıklarının hesaplanabilmesi için DEMATEL yönteminden faydalanılmaktadır. Elde edilen analiz sonuçlarına göre enerji verimliliğinin sağlanması işletmelerin karbon ayak izinin minimize edilmesinde en fazla önem arz eden kriterdir. Çalışanlara eğitim verilmesi ve sürdürülebilir tedarik zinciri yönetimi de bu süreçte dikkate alınabilecek başka faktörlerdir. Buna karşın, yenilenebilir enerji kullanımı hususu ise diğer değişkenlere kıyasla çok daha düşük önem ağırlığına sahiptir. Bu sonuçlar dikkate alındığında, işletmelerin enerji verimliliğinin sağlanabilmesine daha fazla önem göstermeleri gerekmektedir. Bu durum karbon ayak izinin azaltılmasında çok yüksek maliyetlere katlanılmadan etkin stratejilerin geliştirilebilmesine olanak sağlamaktadır. Enerji verimliliğinin sağlanması bu amaca ulaşılabilmesinde çok kritik bir role sahiptir. Bu çerçevede, verimlilik sağlayacak makineler kullanılabilir ve bina yalıtımları daha iyi hale getirilebilir. Öte yandan, çevre dostu tedarikçiler ile çalışma da bu sürece önemli derecede katkı sağlayabilir. Böylece, işletmenin tedarik zinciri daha sürdürülebilir olabilir.

O interesse pela temática surge por conta do constante contato existente entre professor e pais ou responsáveis de alunos, mas que muitas vezes são momentos de conflitos, pois sempre recai sobre somente um dos lados a responsabilidade pelo desempenho do aluno. Então, pesquisar essa relação é importante para entender como cada uma dessas instituições exerce uma função diferente no processo de aprendizagem de crianças e jovens. Dessa forma, utiliza-se como método a pesquisa bibliográfica, em que foram analisadas pesquisas de autores que discutem a temática, e apresentam os conceitos de família, educação e escola, além das legislações que versam sobre a relação da família-escola. Buscando entender a construção da relação escola-família, as mudanças, os conflitos e possíveis melhorias para um bom diálogo.

This study aimed to assess the biological and biotherapeutic activities of essential oils derived from the medicinal plants Tanacetum vulgare L., Myrtus communis L. subsp. communis L., and Pimpinella flabellifolia (Boiss.) Benth. Et Hook. ex Drude. Plant samples were systematically collected from the Sivas region of Türkiye. Subsequently, essential oils were extracted using a Clevenger-type apparatus, and their compositions were assessed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Then, antioxidant activities of the essential oil samples were investigated using β-carotene-linoleic acid and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity of these species was assessed via the disc diffusion assay. Finally, the potential effects of the essential oil compositions from these plants on milk production in dairy cows were analyzed through in-silico methods.

La microalbuminuria se ha establecido como un marcador predictivo confiable de la nefropatía diabética. Los inhibidores de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina, como parte del tratamiento antihipertensivo, han demostrado eficacia en la reducción de la microalbuminuria y en la protección renal. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar los niveles de microalbuminuria y el tratamiento antihipertensivo en pacientes diabéticos atendidos en el Hospital IESS Jipijapa durante el periodo 2022. Se empleó un estudio observacional con enfoque retrospectivo transversal tipo cuantitativo, con una población de estudio conformada por pacientes del área de diabetología. Los resultados revelaron una mayor incidencia de microalbuminuria en hombres de 49 a 73 años, con niveles superiores a 40 mg/L. Sin embargo, aquellos que recibían tratamiento antihipertensivo mostraron niveles de microalbuminuria por debajo de 20 mg/L. El análisis estadístico r-Pearson evidenció una correlación significativa entre el tratamiento antihipertensivo y los niveles de microalbuminuria, con un valor de p < 0,05. En conclusión, se observó un impacto significativo de los tratamientos antihipertensivos en la reducción de los niveles de microalbuminuria en pacientes diabéticos, lo que resalta la importancia de la terapia antihipertensiva como parte integral del manejo de la microalbuminuria en esta población.
Critical Analysis of Strengthening the Character of Cooperation through Discussion Method in Social Science Learning in Karanggedang 03 State Elementary School
Authors: Purnomo Eka Agus
Published: June 2024

This study aims to analyze the strengthening of cooperation character through discussion methods in Social Science learning at the elementary school level. Social Science learning often employs discussion methods that require cooperation among students. However, the current state of student collaboration in these discussions is not optimal. Some students are reluctant to join and interact with their groups, do not take responsibility for completing tasks together, struggle to think critically to solve problems collaboratively, and are afraid to express their opinions in public. The purpose of this research is to determine the abilities, constraints, and solutions related to student cooperation in discussion methods. The research was conducted at SDN Karanggedang 03 in Cilacap Regency using a qualitative research method. Data collection techniques included interviews with teachers and students. The study's findings identified five indicators of student cooperation ability in discussion methods: social interaction (groups), responsibility, mutual help, critical thinking, and problem-solving. A notable obstacle during group discussions was the lack of active participation by a small number of students in completing group tasks, such as mutual aid activities. Proposed solutions include building cohesiveness, engaging in discussions with other members, and diligently carrying out tasks. Based on the analysis of these aspects, it can be concluded that the achievement of cooperation abilities in discussion methods is largely effective, though some areas still require improvement in the learning process.

The Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier (ORCID) database is an invaluable resource that supports the unambiguous identification of researchers. However, its first party data dump is too complex, verbose, and unstandardized for many use cases. This post describes open source software I wrote that automates downloading, processing, and exporting ORCID into a more usable form. I put the results on Zenodo under the CC0 license.
