Published: August 2023

Sardinellas are amongst the principal fishery resources of the Ivorian coastal areas, being the prey of predatory fishes, of which tunas. A close observation of the trophic ecology and fisheries data in the scientific literature permitted to gain insights into previously-held relationship between the Spanish mackerel and the Sardinellas regarding feeding. We recall past facts accounting for the disappearance of both species from the landings, following the scarceness of the round Sardinella (Sardinella aurita). This study was carried out to investigate the current relationship between both species, selecting a fishery for its heavy catches for Sardinellas. Samples of Scomber colias were taken each week of July and August from that fishery in 2022. A total of 115 specimens were collected at the landing stage of Sassandra (Southwestern Côte d’Ivoire). The fish were measured and weighed, and stages for sexual maturity of their gonads were estimated. The results indicated that specimens ranged in size from 20.4 to 35.5 cmFL while their stomachs measured between 1.8 and 9.6 cm. Stomach contents weights ranged from 0.05 to 36.5 g. The stomach contents analysis showed a feeding regime made up mainly of small organism-prey, of which the mantel shrimp Scyllarides herklotsii, the pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus notialis, the spiny lobster Nephropsis atlantica, juvenile fish species of the Myctophidae family, juvenile Cephalopods (squids), and almost no fish of the genus Sardinella. The occurrence of a large proportion of empty stomachs (whose weight was <2.0 g) was noticeable, since the Spanish mackerel mainly fed on small prey.
The impact of PM2.5 air pollutant exposure on human respiratory health: A literature review
Authors: R. Ayu Yunita Anggraeni  , Kusuma Scorpia Lestari
Published: August 2023

Exposure to air pollutant serves as an important indicator Global Burden of Disease. Most of the total mass of particles in the air consists of fine particles measuring between 0.1 and 2.5 µm or what commonly known as PM2.5. The common sources of PM2.5 exposure are motor vehicles, cooking activities (using wood fuel or charcoal briquettes), mining industry activities, and smoking. PM2.5 is the main component of air pollutant that causes respiratory disease because it can penetrate lung alveoli and enter the bloodstream, causing inflammation of the respiratory tract. This study aims to examine PM2.5 exposure to human respiratory disease based on previous studies which are summarized into one environmental health-based study. The design of this study is literature review using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases published in 2018-2023. From the screening process and conformity with the inclusion criteria, 9 reference articles were obtained in this study. From the 9 studies reviewed, there were 4 studies which stated that there was a significant relationship between PM2.5 exposure and asthma, while 5 other studies stated that there was a significant relationship between PM2.5 exposure and decrease in lung function that refers to COPD. So it can be concluded that exposure to PM2.5 causes human respiratory disease, especially asthma and COPD.

Published: August 2023

Aim: The aim of the present study is to assess the impact of perinatal maternal alcohol intake on lactation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods: This is a prospective, descriptive cohort study conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic in Greece. Women were recruited from five tertiary maternity hospitals during January-December 2020. A total of 847 mothers participated and data were collected during their hospitalization in the maternity hospital using a structured questionnaire. Follow-up included an interview via telephone, at 1, 3 and 6 months postpartum. Results: We report significantly lower alcohol intake during the antenatal period (3.4%), lactation period (3.1%) and after cessation of breastfeeding (5.1%) in comparison with the pre-pregnancy period (22.4%, p<0.001 for all correlations). Rates of alcohol intake during pregnancy, lactation and after breastfeeding discontinuation had no significant difference (p=0.848). Mothers who consumed more alcohol after discontinuation of breastfeeding (AOR = 11.51; 95% CI: 2.80 ─ 47.32, p<0.001) were significantly more likely to cease breastfeeding. Furthermore, lower weekly alcohol intake after breastfeeding cessation (β= -31.81, SE: 6.47, p<0.001) was associated with longer breastfeeding duration. Conclusions: Perinatal maternal alcohol intake was reduced in comparison to the pre-pregnancy period. This downward trend, compared to Greek studies carried out before the COVID-19 pandemic, indicates that this unprecedented pandemic might have contributed to the reduction of addictive substance use, possibly due to fear of illness during the vulnerable perinatal period. The involvement of spouses/partners and families in alcohol rehabilitation and abstinence programs would possibly increase the effectiveness of these programs and therefore improve overall public health.

Published: August 2023

Emilia sonchifolia, an annual herb belonging to the Asteraceae family, has long been recognized for its potential in treating cutaneous infections, inflammation, and wounds. This study aimed to assess the anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer effects of Emilia sonchifolia using protein denaturation assay and Acid Neutralizing Capacity (ANC) methods. The acid neutralizing capacity method revealed that the extract significantly reduced acidity to 8.35 at a concentration of 1000 mg/ml, outperforming the standard Aluminum hydroxide + Magnesium hydroxide combination which achieved a value of 13.2 at 500 mg/ml. Furthermore, the results from the protein denaturation assay demonstrated a positive correlation between increased concentration and percentage inhibition of inflammation. The extract exhibited the highest inhibition percentage of 44.99 at a concentration of 200 µg/ml, and the standard diclofenac sodium achieved 84.120 at 100 µg/ml. These findings underscore the remarkable medicinal potential of aqueous extract of Emilia sonchifolia, particularly in its applications as an anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer agent. In summary, the aqueous extract of Emilia sonchifolia demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory activity across various concentrations, when compared to the effectiveness of the standard drug diclofenac sodium. Additionally, the extract displayed anti-ulcer activity when compared to the standard Aluminum hydroxide + Magnesium hydroxide combination. Phytochemical analysis unveiled the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolic compounds, steroids, and carbohydrates in Emilia sonchifolia. These phytochemical constituents likely contribute to the extract's protective properties against protein denaturation and its anti-ulcer effects.

Published: August 2023

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or adult multipotent progenitor cells with the ability to self- renew and differentiate, are extracted from a variety of tissues, including bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord blood, Wharton’s jelly, tooth pulp, menstrual blood, and others. Since they are multipotent, cultured MSCs can differentiate into the adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic lineages after being isolated. Due to their immunomodulatory, immunosuppressive, and regenerative potentials, multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have received extensive scrutiny as an efficient tool for cell-based therapy of inflammatory, immune- mediated, and degenerative illnesses. The clinical applications and therapeutic potential of this cell type, the therapeutic mechanisms of MSCs, techniques to increase their therapeutic potentials, such as manipulation and preconditioning, and potential/unexpected risks that should be taken into account as a preliminary step before they are put to clinical use. In large part, due to their distinct immunomodulatory capabilities, MSCs have been touted as an ideal choice for the treatment of immune-related illnesses throughout the past few decades. In this review study we are mainly focusing on the MSC based treatments currently being developed for autoimmune diseases, type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
Orbán Ferenc építész-tanár bírósági épületei Debrecenben és környékén
Authors: Megyeri-Pálffi Zoltán
Published: August 2023

A bírói hatalomról szóló 1869. évi IV., majd az 1871. évi, az elsőfolyamodású bíróságokat létrehozó szervezeti törvények nyomán létrejött a modern bírósági szervezetrendszer Magyarországon. A bíróságok működéséhez a személyi feltételeken túl a dologi háttérnek is rendelkezésre kellett állni. Ez utóbbi elsősorban a bíróságok elhelyezését jelentette, azaz azokat az épületeket, amelyekben megkezdhették munkájukat. Ennek a bírósági épületállománynak a megteremtése hosszú évtizedekbe tellett. A törvényszékek építési periódusát követően (kb. 1880– 1910) az állam a járásbíróságok méltó elhelyezésére koncentrált. Az 1910-es évektől látni azt, hogy új járásbírósági épületeket emeltek az országban. Ez folyamat a két világháború közötti időszakban is folytatódott. E feladatkörben is szakértő építészekkel találkozhatunk. Egyike volt ezeknek – a nagyközönség által talán kevésbé ismert – Orbán Ferenc építész-tanár, aki számos járásbírósági épület tervezését jegyezte az 1920-as években. Szűkebb régiónkban: Debrecenben, Berettyóújfaluban, Hajdúböszörményben és Hajdúszoboszlón találkozhatunk épületével. E rövid interdiszciplináris jellegű tanulmány ezekre, illetve az építész munkásságára tér ki.

Unlearning and Relearning Europe: Theoretical and Practical Approaches to Decolonising European Studies Curricula
Authors: Evans Aincre Maame-Fosua , Petropoulou Ionescu Danai
Published: August 2023

Discussion on decolonising European Studies (ES) curriculum has gained traction in academic and activist circles, partly responding to calls to decolonise curricula that have brought attention to the ‘whitewashing’ of history and the critical lack of BIPOC scholarship taught in higher education syllabi. Current efforts to decolonise ES as a field of study have largely relied on these aspects. While this is undoubtedly an important step, many ES scholars have expressed a lack of clarity as to how this rhetoric can be practically adopted in their courses without compromising the central subject matter – Europe. This paper responds to calls to decolonise ES, by introducing different theoretical and practical approaches that educational practitioners within the field can draw from in the building of curricula

Authors: İrem Erdoğmuş Zeynep , Esen Gökhan , Karakaya Arslan Melisa
Published: August 2023

Esport is becoming one of the fastest-growing sports branches and providing remarkable advertising and sponsorship opportunities for brands. This research aims to understand what motivates online esports spectators to engage in esports and the way that motivations and engagement influence their purchase intention toward advertised and sponsored products during esports events. The proposed model was tested using structural equation modeling with 436 esports spectators. The results imply that esports engagement has mainly been driven by parasocial interaction between online esports spectators and players. Various motivations were found to act upon the emersion of different esports engagement dimensions, among which a hierarchy of effects existed. Affective and behavioral esports engagement positively influenced advertising sponsorship effectiveness during esports events. Along with providing a definition of esports engagement, this research creates a theoretical linkage between uses and gratifications theory, sports consumption motivations, and esports engagement; and explores how esports engagement leads to the willingness to buy products advertised during esports events and/or products of official esports sponsors. Keywords: esports, motivation, sponsorship, uses and gratifications, parasocial interaction

Authors: Colomba Carla , Weese W. James
Published: August 2023

Environmentalists consistently note that the way we live and work is having devastating impacts on the environment, and immediate change is required if the planet is to be saved. Legislation is being enacted to force industries and companies to change their business practices so the impact of their programs and services is less damaging to the environment. Some organizations, including professional sports teams and facilities, have implemented environmentally friendly programs and practices to reduce their environmental impact. They have subsequently celebrated these developments as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate environmental responsibility (CER) programs. The researchers reviewed the programs and practices of the seven National Hockey League (NHL) teams based in Canada and, based on these assessments, offered suggestions for improvement based on the best practices of teams and facilities from other sports and facilities across the globe. These environmental programs should serve as the most critical component of their corporate social responsibility program.

Doing exercise during quarantine
Authors: Mehrabifard Ramin
Published: August 2023

The coronavirus pandemic has disturbed a vast variety of activities including exercise. Physical activities play a vital role in community health which is limited during this worldwide crisis. The pandemic not only disturbs physical activities but also affects mental health by increasing fear, stress, and depression. This manuscript presents a multipurpose home practice to compensate for both muscular and respiratory weakness due to the lack of exercise, and it also seeks to reduce the mental effects of pervasive illness by practicing yoga. Although their separate effect has been investigated for many years, the simultaneous application of three methods needs to be considered. Since the result of each method is effective separately, a mix of these methods is highly beneficial to people who have a sedentary lifestyle during the quarantine.

Authors: Sakib S M Nazmuz
Published: August 2023

This article provides an overview of the three major sociological perspectives - structural functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism - and their key proponents. It explains how each perspective views society and social change. The article then illustrates how these perspectives can be applied to analyze various historical events such as the French Revolution, Industrial Revolution, American Civil War, and Arab Spring. It provides examples of how factors like inequality, social structures and functions, class conflicts, symbols, identities, and human agency interacted to shape the outcomes of these events. The article highlights the value of using sociological perspectives to gain insights into the complex social dynamics underlying major historical incidents across different societies and time periods. It concludes that combining multiple perspectives allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the causes and consequences of revolutionary social transformations.
RUVBL1 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that RuvB-like AAA ATPase 1, encoded by RUVBL1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. RUVBL1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of RUVBL1 in primary tumors was correlated with overall, distant metastasis-free and recurrence-free survival. Modulation of RUVBL1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MENTAL HEALTH AND HARDINESS OF UKRAINIANS DURING THE WAR
Authors: Predko Viktoria , Schabus Manuel , Danyliuk Ivan
Published: August 2023

The study found that about every 4th Ukrainian demonstrates a low level of personal hardiness, which is accompanied by emotional discomfort and lack of internal locus of control, making them more susceptible to stress and illness. Additionally, they tend to distance themselves which significantly exacerbates the situation. It has been found that Ukrainians with low levels of personal hardiness exhibit escapism (with diversion of the mind to imaginative activity), a destructive defense mechanism that not only prevents effective problem solving but also has long-term negative consequences for their overall health. Consequently, especially people with low hardiness should receive specific support to stabilize their mental wellbeing and health overall.
An Overview on Intelligent Fluids: Applications
Authors: Jia Jeremy
Published: August 2023

Intelligent fluids represent a significant interdisciplinary convergence of chemistry, physics, control theory, artificial intelligence and engineering disciplines. These unique materials have the intrinsic capability to modify their physical properties, specifically viscosity, in response to external stimuli such as magnetic, electric, photonic, and thermal fields. This paper offers a holistic overview of the evolution, properties, and applications of distinct categories of artificial intelligent fluids: ferrofluids, magnetorheological, electrorheological, and photonic and thermoresponsive fluids. From their early historical contexts to their transformative roles in sectors ranging from automotive to biomedical, each fluid's potential is thoroughly explored. Artificial intelligence techniques, encompassing both deep learning and reinforcement learning, have facilitated the intricate modeling and control of these fluids. Furthermore, the challenges they face, from sedimentation concerns to environmental considerations, are discussed. As technological demands continue to pivot towards adaptability and efficiency, artificial intelligent fluids are poised to emerge as pivotal solutions. However, their successful integration necessitates a nuanced understanding, balancing their remarkable capabilities with the challenges they present.

Individual variability and sexually dimorphic fear memory-related effects of anxiety on fear extinction in inbred mouse model
Authors: Rudenko Andrey
Published: August 2023

The ability to efficiently extinguish memory of a fearful event is critical for individual wellbeing. Fear extinction impairments are commonly observed in a variety of neuropsychiatric conditions, including anxiety disorders and PTSD. While inter-individual as well as sex-related differences in extinction are recognized, their biological underpinnings remain unclear. To examine neurobehavioral features that may contribute to extinction efficacy in genetically similar subjects, fear extinction was analyzed in cohorts of inbred wild-type male and female mice. While the overall efficacy rate of extinction was similar in both sexes, we observed a high level of inter-individual variation. We also found that anxiety phenotype and extinction efficacy were significantly linked, although this effect differed between male and female animals: high-anxiety male, but not female, mice tended to have lower extinction efficacy. Moreover, this link was observed only in male animals exhibiting strong memory of a fearful event. Finally, we discovered that male (but not female) mice showing high levels of extinction efficacy displayed significantly greater hippocampal expression of anxiety-related Corticotropin Releasing Hormone Receptor 2 (CRHR2) than their low extinction efficacy counterparts. These findings suggest the potentially important role of CRHR2 signaling in mediating sexually dimorphic effects of anxiety on fear extinction. The implications of our study are tied to the biological bases for fear-related disorders, such as PTSD, in human patients.
Constructing belonging and agency in the virtual ‘third space’: Exploring Paradoxical Return Ambitions among Foreign-born Vietnamese in the Ancestral Homeland
Authors: Le Dan
Published: August 2023

Since the 1986 Doi Moi reform, an increasing number of labour migrants and students leave Viet Nam every year for better opportunities abroad. During the same period, members of the diaspora have been making return trips back to the country. According to government estimates, over 500,000 Vietnamese return to Vietnam each year to work, live, and retire. This paper examines the varied aspirations of ethnically similar, yet culturally different ethnic return migrants. Notably, it investigates the relationship between information communication technologies (ICTs) and daily life to explore the on/offline ambitions of this diverse group. Drawing on off/online interviews and observations with 35 2nd and 2.5 generation Vietnamese living in Viet Nam, from 11 disparate Western countries, I explore the social-cultural, ethno-national, politico-economic aspirations held by this hierarchically stratified, multiple-minority coethnic group. By examining the narratives of returnees through a lens of capital and hierarchy, this study explores the which? intergenerational/identity/authenticity ambitions (experiences of racialisation and marginalisation were high) within the ethnic homeland. As such it asks, what are the aspirations of ethnic return migrants? How are aspirations among these coethnics played out off/online and what are the social structures? underlying them? What are the tensions that exist within this cohort in off/online groups?

The main purpose of this research is to examine the impact of e-banking services on customer awareness of Nepalese commercial banks. To achieve the objective, descriptive as well as explanatory research designs were used. Primary data were collected from both questionnaires and interview that were distributed among the customers of all commercial banks.

Similarly, the most consistent variable is privacy/security. The correlation analysis shows the positive and significant relationship among all dependent and independent variables. Furthermore, in terms of the values of the R square of the results of the regression, e-banking services such as accessibility, reliability, convenience and privacy/security explain 96% of variation on customer awareness. This study concludes that the convenience and privacy/security have significant positive effect on customer awareness of Nepalese commercial banks. More over the researcher recommend that the commercial banks should pay more attention to improve the overall level of customer awareness on accessibility and reliability.

ЕКЗИСТЕНЦІАЛЬНІ ТА СВІТОГЛЯДНІ ОСНОВИ ХАРИЗМИ ЛЮДИНИ ТА ЇХ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ В СОЦІОКУЛЬТУРНОМУ ПРОСТОРІ
Authors: Крилова Вселена Олександрівна (Вселена Світла)
Published: August 2023

У даній статті аналізуються ключові внутрішні прояви харизми людини, що, складають її екзистенціальну основу і впливають на її соціалізацію. Обґрунтовується положення, про те, що світоглядні основи харизми людини дають їй самоусвідомлення та доповнюються екзистенціальними основами, що характеризують переживання себе у соціокультурному просторі. Відзначається, що екзистенціальними основами харизми людини виступають: любов до себе та Іншого, щирість, іронія та відкритість до діалогу. Названі екзистенціали абсолютно по-різному проявляються у особистості та її відносинах із соціумом. З позицій методологічної основи метаанропології та соціальної метаантропології, аналізується взаємовплив світоглядних основ харизми людини на її екзистенціальні основи в буденному, граничному і метаграничному бутті, яким відповідають буденний, особистісний та філософський типи світогляду. Розвивається думка, що харизматичність означає прояв органічності у стосунках із Іншим та соціумом, проте ця органічність може бути як конструктивною, так і деструктивною в залежності від виміру буття, у якому перебуває людина. Відзначається, що у буденному бутті маємо екзистенціально-тілесну харизму людини, яка засновується на значному протиріччі між світоглядними та екзистенціальними основами, що характеризує непродуктивні відносини в тоталітарному суспільстві. У граничному бутті виникає екзистенціально-особистісна харизма, яка загострює ці протиріччя, породжуючи маніпулятивні відносини у авторитарному суспільстві. У метаграничному бутті світоглядні основи людини вступають у синергію із способом її самовираження і життя, утворюючи екзистенціально-комунікативну харизму, що відкриває можливість соціального партнерства у відкритому соціумі. Робиться висновок, що органічність харизматичної особистості у стосунках із соціумом повинна неодмінно поєднуватись із самоусвідомленням, що дає їй можливість зростати над собою, поглиблюючи і власну харизму.
