Authors: Kudadiri Diana Rose , Astuti Sri Rahayu Tri
Published: January 2025

The purchasing behaviors of consumers are profoundly influenced by the widespread availability of digital technologies and internet connectivity. In pursuit of exceptional products and services, consumers are increasingly prioritizing favorable and memorable experiences. Consequently, enterprises must acknowledge the criticality of fostering enduring relationships with customers in order to sustain their brand recognition and attract new clientele by means of personalized customer experiences. One commonly utilized tactic by retailers to heighten consumer engagement and purchase frequency is the integration of gamification. An instance of such implementation can be observed in the e-retail domain in Indonesia, where Alfamart leverages the concept of gamification through its Alfagift platform for online shopping. This research endeavors to assess the impact of gamification on consumer purchase decisions within the realm of Alfagift, with customer experience and customer brand engagement discerned as intervening factors. The study encompasses a population comprising consumers or users of Alfagift who have completed transactions via the application, with a sample size of 102 individuals selected through purposive sampling. The data underwent analysis via structural equation modelling (SEM) utilizing the SmartPLS 4.0 software. Findings indicate that gamification exerts a beneficial influence on customer experience and customer brand engagement, subsequently affecting consumer purchasing decisions. Further, it is established that customer experience and customer brand engagement serve as mediators in the relationship between gamification and consumer purchasing decisions within Semarang City. Notably, customer brand engagement emerges as the foremost influential variable, succeeded by gamification, customer experience, and purchase decision.

Published: January 2025

The Tindouf argan groves in the south-western Algerian Sahara, beside Sideroxylon spinosum L. [syn. Argania spinosa (L.) Skeels] have a rich flora and fauna. This study was aimed to assess their species composition. During floristic surveys we recorded 79 plant species, 67 genera, and 31 families. Among them, the Brassicaceae and Fabaceae are the most represented families (12.7% and 11.4% of the flora, respectively), followed by the Asteraceae and Zygophyllaceae (8.9% each). The flora includes 18 rare species (23%) and 16 endemic taxa (20.3%). The Saharo-Sindian element dominates, accounting for 24.1%, compared with 11.4% for the Saharo-Mediterranean and the Mediterranean elements each. The argan tree grows in steppelike plant formations, including pastures, of which 67% are of the desert type. The flora is composed mostly of phanerophytes (19.3%), nanophanerophytes (11.6%), and chamaephytes (35.9%). The argan tree is present in various small facies, along wadi beds, on sandy, rocky, and gravelly substrates. We recorded 25 species of birds, 17 mammals, 9 reptiles, 1 amphibian, and 15 arthropods, mostly insects. Consequently, the remarkable biological richness found within the argan ecosystems of Tindouf in the Algerian Saharan context deserves the attention of international bodies concerned with nature conservation in order to protect it as a biosphere reserve.

Diabetes mellitus is a global health problem requiring innovative approaches for effective management. Natural compounds derived from medicinal plants offer promising avenues due to their diverse biological activities. The aim of this study was to assess the inhibitory effects of Cedrus atlantica extracts on the enzymes α-amylase and α-glucosidase, which play a crucial role in the regulation of postprandial glucose levels, as well as to investigate their phytochemical composition and antioxidant capabilities. Aqueous extract of bark (EA), aqueous extract of cones (CA), and aqueous extract of leaves (FA) of C. atlántica were prepared and evaluated for enzyme inhibition using acarbose as a standard. The CA extract showed potent α-amylase inhibition (IC50 307 ± 0.02 μg/mL) and remarkable α-glucosidase inhibition (IC50 70 ± 0.04 μg/mL), outperforming the FA and EA extracts. Quantitative analysis revealed that EA and CA extracts had higher total phenolic content, flavonoid content, and tannin content than FA extract. Antioxidant assessments highlighted the outstanding performance of CA extract, with a low IC50 ABTS (30.65 ± 0.1 μg/mL) and an impressive EC50 FRAP (59.43 ± 1.19 μg/mL), outperforming FA extract. The results demonstrate the remarkable antidiabetic potential of C. atlantica extracts, particularly the CA extract, by inhibiting key enzymes involved in carbohydrate digestion. These extracts possess various phytochemical compounds with significant antioxidant capacities, suggesting that they are suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications. Further research to isolate and identify the bioactive compounds in CA extract could lead to new therapeutic strategies for managing diabetes and oxidative stress-related conditions.
Axial compression damage constitutive model and damage characteristics of fly ash/silica fume modified magnesium phosphate cement after being treated at different temperatures
Authors: Guo Boyu , Zhu Jincai , Meng Xiaokai , Cao Qi
Published: January 2025

The relationship between fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF)-modified magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) at varying temperatures remains unclear. In this study, the mechanical properties and damage characteristics of FA- and SF-modified MPC at 20–1,000°C were analysed through uniaxial compression tests. The results indicate that the compressive strength of MPC diminishes at varying temperatures, while FA and SF can enhance the compressive strength of MPC following exposure to high temperatures. In addition, with an increase in the temperature, the peak strain of MPC increased, and the deformation modulus first decreased and then increased. At 1,000°C, the deformation modulus of MPC was 5.09–10.92 GPa. The proposed damage constitutive model can predict the mechanical parameters of FA- and SF-modified MPC at different temperatures. The total damage variable reflects an “S-shaped” change trend under the action of axial compression loads. MPC exhibited irreversible initial temperature damage after being treated at different temperatures. More specifically, the temperature damage variable first increased and then decreased by increasing the temperature. At 600°C, the temperature damage variable exceeds 30% of the total damage variable associated with the peak strain, and at 1,000°C, it surpasses 10%.

Authors: Abdoh Esra
Published: January 2025

Preserving rare manuscripts through digitization has become an essential part of efforts to safeguard cultural heritage in the digital age. These fragile or deteriorating documents face the risk of damage and loss, and information technology provides an effective solution to protect these valuable resources for future generations. It not only helps preserve the originals, but also makes historical knowledge more accessible and flexible. This study adopted a descriptive and analytical approach to present the experience of the King Abdulaziz Complex for Endowment Libraries in digitizing manuscripts, rare books, and 3D-objects. The study relied on observations and field visits to the digitization lab at the King Abdulaziz Complex for Endowment Libraries. Most of these libraries contain a unique collection of manuscripts and rare documents of historical significance. The study resulted in many findings, the most notable of which is the completion of the digitization of 13,411 manuscripts, while 2,280 manuscripts still require conservation. The total number of digitized rare books is 7,644. This study demonstrates that digitization represents a modern and effective technical means for the preservation of ancient manuscripts and rare books, facilitating access and sharing, long-term preservation, and significantly contributing to the preservation of human cultural heritage.

Authors: Khamar Faezeh , Atabaki Mahdi , Samadi Morteza , Reisi Marzieh , Sandoughi Mahnaz
Published: January 2025

Background and Objectives

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a well-known systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease. This investigation aimed to assess the effects of Sina-curcumin, a novel nano micelle-based curcumin, on immune system responses of RA patients.

Methods

This pilot study is a randomized double blinded, controlled trial. Patients who fulfilled the European League against Rheumatism-American College of Rheumatology (EULAR-ACR) criteria for RA were assigned to receive curcumin or placebo for 12 weeks. The outcomes of this study were comparison of changes in mean value of Disease Activity Score of 28 joints erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), frequency of T helper 1 and T helper 2 cells population.

Results

From 150 RA patients who were assessed for eligibility, data from 30 patients (15 patients in each group) were analyzed. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding age (P = 0.6441) and body mass index (BMI, P = 0.6016). Our measurement showed a statistically significant reduction in ESR (P < 0.0001), CRP (P < 0.0001) and a non-significant decrease in DAS28-ESR (P = 0.5125) in the curcumin group. Also, the Th1/Th2 ratio favorably decreased in the curcumin group. This finding was due to a significant increase in Th2 cells (P < 0.0001) and a nonsignificant decrease in Th1 cells (P = 0.1532).

Conclusion

Our trial findings revealed the immunomodulatory effects of curcumin. It could be used and recommended as adjunctive treatment for RA patients.

Interaction between Facial Expression and Color in Modulating ERP P3
Authors: Hasegawa Yuya , Tamura Hideki , Nakauchi Shigeki , Minami Tetsuto
Published: January 2025

The relationships between facial expression and color affect human cognition functions such as perception and memory. However, whether these relationships influence selective attention and brain activity contributed to selective attention remains unclear. For example, reddish angry faces increase emotion intensity, but it is unclear whether brain activity and selective attention are similarly enhanced. To investigate these questions, we examined whether event-related potentials for faces vary depending on facial expression and color by recording electroencephalography (EEG) data. We conducted an oddball task using stimuli that combined facial expressions (angry, neutral) and facial colors (original, red, green). The participants counted the number of times a rarely appearing target face stimulus appeared among the standard face stimuli. The results indicated that the difference in P3 amplitudes for the target and standard faces depended on the combinations of facial expressions and facial colors; the P3 for red angry faces were greater than those for red neutral faces. Additionally, facial expression or facial color had no significant main effect or interaction effect on P1 amplitudes for the target, and facial expression had significant main effects only on the N170 amplitude. These findings suggest that the interaction between facial expression and color modulates the P3 associated with selective attention. Moreover, the response enhancement resulting from this interaction appears to occur at a cognitive processing stage that follows the processing stage associated with facial color or expression alone. Our results support the idea that red color increases the human response to anger from an EEG perspective.

Parkinson’s disease is characterized by the presence of α-synuclein (α-syn) primarily containing Lewy bodies in neurons. Despite decades of extensive research on α-syn accumulation, its molecular mechanisms have remained largely unexplored. Recent studies by us and others have suggested that extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, can mediate the release of α-syn from cells, and inhibiting this pathway could result in increased intracellular α-syn levels. In this study, we have discovered that elevated levels of α-syn themselves lead to reduced α-syn -containing EVs in α-syn inducible H4 cells and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived dopaminergic (DA) neurons from both sexes. Our investigations have revealed that the impairment in EV secretion is not due to their generation but rather a consequence of changes in a soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) protein, YKT6. Specifically, as α-syn levels increase, membrane-associated YKT6 is reduced. Pharmacological inhibition of farnesylation using FTI has led to decreased EV secretion and subsequent elevated levels of α-syn. In summary, our findings suggest that increased levels of α-syn impair YKT6-mediated EV secretion, establishing a detrimental cycle of intracellular α-syn accumulation in human DA neurons.

Significance StatementNeurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson’s disease (PD), are characterized by the pathological accumulation of insoluble proteins, primarily in neurons. Regulating intracellular levels of these proteins is critical. Despite extensive research for decades, the precise mechanism of these protein deposits remains unexplained. In this study, we discovered that extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a pivotal role in regulating alpha-synuclein (a-syn) levels through release from neurons. Furthermore, increased levels of a-syn impede its EV secretion, creating a pathological loop. Elevated levels of a-syn interfere with the localization of YKT6, a SNARE protein, to the vesicle membrane by inhibiting YKT6 palmitoylation. These findings illustrate a novel mechanism of a-syn accumulation in neurons and provide a target to potentially mitigate PD pathology.

Statistical tests in particle physics
Authors: Valenzuela Mississippi
Published: January 2025

Particle physics emerged as a pioneer discipline in "big science"; experiments are being carried out in accelerators that are increasing in energy and complexity by the collaborations of thousands of physicists from hundreds of institutes in a few dozen countries. In "big science" a research methodology has been developed in which statistics is of great importance to interpret the results obtained from these experiments. Despite the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, which contributed to the success of the Standard Model and the award of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics. Based on these motivations, in the present work certain statistical tests based on the “likelihood” method are shown and are applied in high energy physics in the discovery of new phenomena, by making use of the construction of confidence intervals of the model parameters. We focus on properties of methods called statistical “proofs” that allow systematic uncertainties to be included. Also, we work with explicit formulas for the asymptotic distributions of the statistical tests. In addition, we will use a representative data set, called the “Asimov” data set, which provides a method for obtaining the experimental sensitivity of a search or measurement, as well as the fluctuations in that expectation.
Patrones de variabilidad espacial y temporal de la temperatura de la superficie del mar en el Pacífico Ecuatorial
Authors: Alburqueque Edward , Rojas Joel
Published: January 2025

In this research, Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis is applied to reduce the number of variables in a sea surface temperature (SST) dataset to a second dataset containing a much smaller number of variables. The condition is that these new variables retain the maximum possible fraction of information from the original dataset. This second dataset is derived by finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix. The objective is to identify the most significant spatial and temporal patterns (principal components) of SST variability in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean (Latitude: 30°N - 30°S, Longitude: 140°E - 70°O) and subsequently associate these patterns (or modes) with phenomena such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Finally, to validate the estimated patterns, they are compared with those obtained by national and international institutions.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a commercial mixture of essential oils (Mix–Oil®) on the productive parameters of Cobb 500 broilers. The work was carried out in a 40 m2 shed located in the Chongón parish, Guayas, Ecuador. In total, 400 male broiler chickens were placed in 40 polyethylene cages with a population density of 10 chickens.m-2. The supplementation of the commercial essential oil mixture Mix–Oil® in the water was compared against a treatment without application, distributed in two groups at random. Feed consumption, weight gain, feed conversion, water consumption, morbidity and mortality were evaluated. Supplementation with essential oils did not affect feed consumption; however, there was a tendency to generate lower body weight and lower weight gain in the initial stages of the productive cycle. The Mix–Oil® essential oil blend reduced morbidity during the growing stage and improved feed conversion (1.70), weekly weight gain (852 g.bird-1) and reduced water consumption during the finishing period of Cobb 500 chickens.

Recientemente, las organizaciones públicas han enfrentado presiones por parte de líderes políticos y ciudadanos para llevar a cabo una transformación digital en la prestación de sus servicios. Sin embargo, la mayoría de estas iniciativas no han producido los resultados esperados en las entidades estatales. Esto se debe, en gran medida, a que no se aborda adecuadamente la planificación y navegación por el proceso de transformación digital. En consecuencia, urge identificar los factores que impactan en las prácticas para la adopción de la transformación digital y lograr así los resultados exitosos en el sector público del Estado peruano. En este estudio, se identificaron 7 factores y 10 prácticas clave para la transformación digital, así como 26 relaciones de influencia entre ellos (factor → práctica) que fueron validadas empíricamente a través de un estudio que incluyó la participación de 111 ejecutivos. Los resultados obtenidos indican que las 26 relaciones propuestas fueron calificadas como "Alta" o "Muy Alta" con un nivel de confianza del 95%, según la prueba de t-Student. Específicamente, la relación entre el factor “Compromiso y apoyo de la alta dirección” y la práctica “Toma de decisiones del Comité de dirección de TI” destacó como la relación con mayor influencia.

Published: January 2025

The complexity of words can pose a limitation to the accessibility of information, which could affect millions of Spanish-speaking people. The objective of this study is to develop a machine learning model for the binary task of identifying complex words in Spanish, using next-generation embeddings, current linguistic resources, and lexical properties. To this end, the Spanish dataset from the CWI Shared Task 2018 was used, obtaining embeddings generated by the text-embedding-3-large model and word frequencies extracted from resources such as the Corpus del Español del Siglo XXI, the Corpus de Referencia del Español Actual, the Spanish Billion Word Corpus and Embeddings, and Wordfreq. To select features and find their best combination, a 5-fold cross-validation using XGBClassifier was employed. After comparing several machine learning algorithms, the final model, based on LGBMClassifier, achieved a macro F1 score of 0.7993, surpassing the best team from that competition, more recent studies that used neural networks, and some large language models. This demonstrates the potential of these resources that are constantly being updated and that can contribute to improving the accuracy of this task.

Sonora michoacanensis (Dugès, 1885), Michoacan Groundsnake (Squamata, Colubridae) is a non‑venomous snake endemic to Mexico, distributed across the Depresión del Balsas and along the Pacific Coast in the states of Morelos, Puebla, Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima, and Jalisco. We present the first record of this species from the State of Mexico. The new record fills a gap in the known distribution of S. michoacanensis in Central Mexico, and increases the number of known colubrid species to 23 and the total number of reptile species in the State of Mexico to 104.

This article proposes a conceptual model to assess how consumers’ materialistic motivations impact social characteristics (prestige and conspicuity) that generate status for innovative technological products, which can lead to consumption intention. The study used a quantitative approach to test a conceptual model using structural equation modeling through PLS – SEM. The results indicate that product prestige and perception of product conspicuity mediate consumers’ materialistic motivations, which affects the social status provided to the individual by the product. Likewise, perception of innovation and product status mediate the relationship between conspicuity and perceived prestige in relation to consumption intention. This research yields important insights regarding the strong relations between the social characteristics of technological products that take into account individuals’ values. Consequently, this study enhances understanding of how status and social value influence the intention to consume technological products, demonstrating the extent to which innovation brings elements of value to individuals who own the product in question.
Cancellation Practices and Technologies in the Digital Space: Symbolic Codes of Internet Memes and Hashtags about Religion
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Farkhitdinova O. M.
Published: January 2025

Memification and hashtagging in their functional purpose are considered as consequences of the spread of technologies for visualizing collective memory. The theoretical framework of the article is determined by the scientific approaches of M. Halbwaks, J. Olik, S. I. Kaspe. The analysis of the practices of the abolition of collective memory in the digital space is proposed by the example of the analysis of figurative-semantic (Internet memes about traditional religions) and linguistic-semantic components (hashtags about religion) in the digital space. It is concluded that the digitization of traditional symbols leads to the formation of a set of new forms; The hybridization of traditional symbols contributes to the formation of digital narratives and the creation of a “new” ontology of religion; the spread of digital interpretations is associated with the creation of additional environments for the presence of religious meaning, evangelicalism as a socio-cultural source of the “culture of cancellation”.
Encyclopedia of the Turning Point: The Ural Soviet Encyclopedia as a Reflection of the Era of Local Lore in the USSR
Authors:   Tyumen State University, Chernyshev A. A.
Published: January 2025

During the study of the publication of regional Soviet encyclopedias of the 1920s and 1930s, it was revealed that their fate remained incomplete as a result of the defeat of the local history movement throughout the country during this period. Based on archival documents, the history of the preparation and publication of the Ural Soviet Encyclopedia was reviewed, the publication of which was discontinued after the publication of the first volume. Special attention was paid to the destructive role of censorship in regional book publishing, which most vividly demonstrated the incompatibility of Soviet party ideology and the study of specific local history. Special attention is paid to the role of the situation in the country since the mid-1930s, the fierce struggle against dissent, the search for enemies of the people and censorship in the book publishing of the region. This case shows that Soviet party ideology and scientific research cannot always coexist, and that the search for truth can become a difficult task in conditions of political repression.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The three-dimensional evaluation of patients in the gait laboratory is a diagnostic method that is gaining ground in various orthopedic pathologies and, in the case of ankle fractures, can more accurately detail the degree of joint limitation. Objective: To present the importance of laboratory gait studies in the postoperative period of ankle fractures associated with syndesmosis ligament injuries, increasing the arsenal for assessing whether the surgical approach and outcome were satisfactory. Methods: Case series of 13 patients who underwent surgical treatment for ankle fractures associated with syndesmosis injuries, evaluated postoperatively in the gait clinic using the BTS GAITLAB hardware program. Kinetic and kinematic data using a three-dimensional movement system were collected and analyzed. Results: Alterations were found in the Temporal and Spatial Parameters and in the Statistical Angles of the lower limb joints, comparing the operated limb with the non-operated limb. Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that, despite subtle variations between the limbs assessed, the program was able to identify these differences in a significant way, demonstrating that gait assessments bring great benefits in understanding biomechanical limitations, and make more effective and individualized rehabilitation protocols possible. Level of evidence IV, Case series.

Abstract The objective of this study was to analyze the antimicrobial and anti-stick capacity of essential oil extracted from oregano (Origanum vulgare) in relation to various strains of Escherichia coli (Ec 41, Ec 42, Ec 44, Ec 45) isolated from meat products. Techniques such as Determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration were used (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (CBM). Furthermore, the method was used disk diffusion method to examine the interaction between O. vulgare essential oil and synthetic antibiotics. Determination of the Inhibitory Concentration was also carried out Minimum Adhesion (CIMA). The results indicated that O. vulgare oil demonstrated antimicrobial activity against the E. coli strains tested, with values of MIC ranging between 256 μg/mL and 512 μg/mL, and MBC values ranging between 256 μg/mL and 1.024 μg/mL. Regarding associations, it was observed that O. vulgare had an antagonistic effect towards certain antibiotics, mainly ampicillin, showing greater interference from the essential oil. Furthermore, the oil was effective in inhibiting the adherence of E. coli bacterial strains, demonstrating a more significant antibiofilm agent than 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate, a commonly used antibacterial. In short, O. vulgare essential oil exhibited antimicrobial potential against E. coli strains isolated from meat products, suggesting which, upon more detailed investigations, could be used both in isolation or in combination with synthetic antibiotics to combat infections caused by this pathogen.
O peso da ecologia nativo-cêntrica africana na ecodessacralização
Authors: Osebor Ikechukwu Monday
Published: January 2025

Resumo A crise ecológica é uma das questões ambientais que mais afetam o planeta, e é causada pela ecodessacralização, um conceito definido pela relegação das identidades divinas da natureza ao esquecimento a partir do ceticismo ambiental. Dúvidas sobre a realidade da degradação ambiental ou das mudanças climáticas e desertificação carregam em si uma forte visão antropocêntrica da natureza. O ceticismo pode ter aprofundado a compreensão humana sobre o mundo natural, mas também destruiu o meio ambiente. Neste estudo, argumenta-se que a ecodessacralização é uma forma de avareza ambiental, e medidas devem ser tomadas para mudar a forte percepção antropocêntrica atual sobre o mundo natural. Para superar tal percepção, buscamos desvelar a ética conservacional africana, profundamente enraizada na ecologia nativo-cêntrica. Esse conceito desfaz atitudes negativas e as reconstrói, com vistas ao bem comum da humanidade. Este estudo conclui que a ressacralização do meio ambiente pelo ensino-aprendizagem da ecologia nativo-cêntrica nas escolas pode mitigar os impactos da crise ecológica.
