Published: September 2024

Анализ передаваемого под водой звука для проведения исследовательских работ имеет долгую и обширную историю успешного применения, особенно в морской среде, где происходят большинство крупных исследовательских разработок в этой области океанологии. Данное научное направление затрагивает гидроакустику и эхолокацию. В последние десятилетия технологические достижения, включая миниатюризацию электронных компонентов и быстрое увеличение вычислительной мощности, способствуют созданию гидроакустических систем, которые легко и оперативно могут быть развернуты. Акустическая среда распространения, и в частности, гидроакустическая, имеет свои уникальные особенности и закономерности. Естественно, для каждого среды (канала) необходимо разработать подход кодирования, не противоречащий физическим свойствам среды и, алгоритм вычисления базисных функций, которые с высокой точностью аппроксимируют заданную частотно-временную область. Статья посвящена применению специальных функций при оценке информативности получаемых с гидроакустических сигналов, что позволит проводить изучение широкого спектра колебательных гидроакустических сигналов, включая мультигармонические и переходные сигналы. При проведении исследования и дальнейшего анализа частотно-временных свойств гидроакустических сигналов применены: спектральный анализ, кепстральный анализ, субполосный анализ, вейвлет анализ, анализ периодичностей и аномалий и разметка данных.

Published: September 2024

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a chronic inflammatory neutrophilic dermatosis often presenting as a solitary enlarging painful ulcer with red to violaceous undermined borders. This report delves into the role of doxycycline in the treatment of PG in a 44-year-old male COVID-19 positive patient who has concomitant active tuberculosis infection and end-stage kidney disease, for which both first-line treatments (systemic corticosteroid and cyclosporine) are contraindicated. After three months on doxycycline and topical corticosteroids, there was resolution of the ulcers and no note of recurrence up to three months from completion of the treatment regimen.

Published: September 2024

A 4-year-old female with Congenital Hemidysplasia with Ichthyosiform erythroderma and Limb Defects (CHILD) syndrome, with a pathogenic variant of the NSDHL gene, c.130G>A (p.Gly44Ser), and unilateral right-sided erythematous verrucous plaques with scaling and ipsilateral limb defects, was started on 5% simvastatin ointment. It was applied twice daily for four months, with improvement already seen starting week 2. Monotherapy with 5% simvastatin ointment was able to decrease the thickness of the verrucous plaques seen in our patient, highlighting that the accumulation of toxic metabolites may play a more crucial role in its disease pathogenesis.

Authors: Chung, MD-MBA Amanda T. , Taguibao, MD-MBA Jerson N. , Siripunvarapon, MD Arunee H. , Frez, MD Ma. Lorna F.
Published: September 2024

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare DNA repair disorder characterized by sensitivity to sunlight and predisposition to cutaneous malignancies. There are various types, including the Variant type, which does not manifest with acute sunburn reactions. This results to the development of multiple malignancies that are often discovered at late stages, making management more challenging. This is a case of a 54-year-old Filipino female presenting with multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) on several areas of the face and advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) on the right zygomatic area, treated with imiquimod 5% cream and external beam radiation therapy, respectively. There was an excellent response of the BCCs to imiquimod 5% cream and good tumoral response of the SCC to radiation therapy, with tolerable side effects, highlighting the use of these palliative treatment modalities for XP patients with multiple, unresectable, or difficult-to-treat cutaneous malignancies.

Published: September 2024

This is a case of a 20-year-old female with no known comorbidities presenting with verrucous plaques arranged in a unilateral blaschkoid distribution at birth. Biopsy was consistent with epidermal nevus hence patient was diagnosed as systematized epidermal nevus, Nevus Unius Lateris type. Gold standard treatment is full thickness surgical excision however, due to the extensive involvement, treatment of this condition remains a challenge. Hence, non-surgical combination of ablative CO2 laser and topical tretinoin 0.1% were done. Thinner lesions (1-3 mm) showed lower recurrence (50%) as compared to thicker lesions (>3 mm) showing 100% recurrence after six months. Hence, another CO2 laser session is needed. Quality of life was measured using the Dermatologic Life Quality Index (DLQI) with noted 35% improvement post-treatment.
Buena nueva: memoria, recuperación y visibilización
Authors: Artime Pinilla Joaquín
Published: September 2024

Buena nueva es la pieza galardonada con el Premio de Adquisición de la edición de arte público de la Biennal de Mislata Miquel Navarro 2022. En este artículo se realiza un análisis teórico-creativo de esta intervención artística que toma una frase del escritor alcoyano Juan Gil-Albert para construir unos letreros que visibilizan la esencia de toda reivindicación LGTBIAQ+.
En 1955, en plena dictadura, Juan Gil-Albert (1904-1994), escribe el que se considera el primer ensayo sobre homosexualidad del estado español. Heraclés. Sobre una manera de ser (1975) no se publica hasta veinte años después, tras la muerte del dictador. Del volumen se escoge una frase, “No se lava, no se cura, no desaparece”, con la que el escritor reflexiona sobre su condición fuera de la heterosexualidad. Si históricamente la homosexualidad se ha observado como una situación contra natura, con esta operación Gil-Albert la convierte en una sustancia pro natura. 
Buena nueva toma estas palabras para exhibirlas en tres intervenciones en distintas calles de la ciudad de Mislata. Cada letrero se realiza con azulejos hidráulicos, elemento típico de la identidad valenciana, generando una serie de desplazamientos en la que juega un papel importante el color, el ritmo, el espesor, la dureza, la relación espacio privado-público, la ubicación, el triángulo invertido, el margen, el tropiezo, el desvío, la diversidad y la ambigüedad. La frase se muestra abierta, como un acertijo que mantiene oculto el tema, pero que señala, con contundencia, las palabras claves por las que han luchado las subjetividades queers.
A través del estudio de la figura de Juan Gil-Albert y su ensayo, se observan los modos en los que la revisión y recuperación de referentes del pasado puede aportarnos claridad sobre el presente y el futuro.
Anatomía de una pintura: el museo como espacio de debate y reflexión feminista
Authors: Vega Elo
Published: September 2024

En 2023, la autora puso en marcha, desde el ámbito de su práctica artística, un proyecto de relectura crítica de la obra quizá más emblemática y célebre del Museo de Málaga, Una autopsia, realizada por Enrique Simonet en 1890, popularmente conocida por el título de ¡Y tenía corazón!
Siendo los museos espacios de conocimiento, sin embargo, como señalaron hace tiempo las artista e historiadoras feministas, también son potentes instrumentos ideológicos de legitimación de las jerarquías de dominación masculina. En el contexto de una guerra cultural donde, en medio del consumismo banal propio del espectáculo, afloran reacciones que persiguen la perpetuación de un orden patriarcal en crisis, el museo se enfrenta al desafío de restablecer su rol como herramienta ligada a la educación en un proyecto de emancipación ciudadana.
El proyecto se desarrolla en un doble plano, a partir de la inserción en el museo de una nueva obra y mediante un seminario, en el que un conjunto de creadoras e investigadoras se acercan al tema de la representación del cuerpo femenino en la tradición occidental para efectuar una aguda disección del mismo desde diversas perspectivas que, sin embargo, no olvidan en ningún momento su condición situada en el contexto local.
De Eugène Delacroix a Miquel Barceló: la interpretación visual del Fausto de Goethe
Authors: Miró Moína Aránzazu
Published: September 2024

El mito de Fausto se origina a partir del texto que Johann Wolfgang von Goethe publica en 1808; antes de que aparezca la segunda parte, y todavía en vida del escritor, su obra es ya famosa y comienza un amplio recorrido de versiones, que se centran fundamentalmente en los ámbitos musical y escénico. Eugène Delacroix (Francia, 1798-1863) la convierte en 1828 en obra visual con la publicación del libro de artista donde interpreta en 17 litografías las escenas que más le interesan. Miquel Barceló (Felanitx, 1957) emprende el mismo reto en 2018. Realiza 72 acuarelas que, tras la lectura visual comparada, reflejan las coincidencias emocionales o espirituales de ambos creadores, algo que se manifiesta en el marcado paralelismo que mantienen sus trayectorias. La lectura comparada de ambas propuestas visuales permite concluir cómo sus diferentes planteamientos artísticos se alían y complementan.

Mudarse a las imágenes. Animación experimental y neurodiversidad en Eight Point Star de Fernando Diniz y Marcos Magalhães
Authors: Lagunas Cerda Samuel
Published: September 2024

Eight Point Star es un cortometraje brasileño estrenado en 1996, dibujado por Fernando Diniz, con Marcos Magalhães como coordinador de animación. Es la primera película animada en Brasil realizada por un artista neurodiverso y afrodescendiente. Este artículo busca describir y analizar el cortometraje, el cual ha recibido escasa atención por la academia y la crítica de cine hispanoamericana, teniendo como marco de referencia la perspectiva de la neurodiversidad y del arte outsider. Se recuperan las reflexiones hechas por el propio Diniz en la película, así como lo escrito por Magalhães en torno al proceso, a fin de descubrir y describir a partir del trabajo colaborativo de ambos artistas cómo la imagen cumple con una función estética y sociocultural al legitimar y dignificar el trabajo artístico de Diniz, a la vez que permite a los espectadores sumergirse en una representación de su vida interior.
Elvis Riboldi, introducción al TDAH en la animación infantojuvenil
Authors: Escudero Carolina
Published: September 2024

Yo, Elvis Riboldi (Javier Galán y Raphaël Lamarque, 2020) nos presenta la historia de un niño lleno de energía, fan de AC/DC, optimista y apasionado que representa un desafío para muchas personas por su forma de ser. Elvis encarna la vida cotidiana de un niño con trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH). Este estudio se propone analizar el personaje de Elvis para conocer y profundizar en cómo se presenta y representa la salud mental de un niño con TDAH y examinar de qué forma es tratado en los diferentes ámbitos: familiar, escolar, comunidad. Para ello se analizan los elementos audiovisuales y las estructuras narrativas que componen a esta animación pensada para un público infantojuvenil de entre 7 y 11 años. El estudio revela que los elementos que componen a esta obra permiten expresar de manera más fluida y didáctica la vida de un niño diagnosticado con TDAH. Este anime se destaca por la facilidad con la que se logra empatizar con el protagonista habilitando un espacio clave en la diversidad de personalidades y promoviendo diferentes instrumentos para la resolución de conflictos.
La concienciación de la salud mental en los jóvenes a través de la animación: su representación en What’s Up With Everyone?
Authors: Serra-Florensa Roser , Lavandeira-Amenedo Yago , Sanz-García Juan Pablo
Published: September 2024

La comunicación de los trastornos mentales en la población juvenil es un reto que se presenta a las instituciones públicas y privadas debido al gran alcance que los trastornos mentales tienen entre la población juvenil (Costas-Pérez et al., 2023). Esta comunicación debe ir encaminada a concienciar a la sociedad, pero también debe servir para luchar contra estereotipos que se han enquistado en ella (López et al., 2008). El escenario actual nos plantea determinar cuáles son las herramientas necesarias para difundir mensajes conciliadores a los más jóvenes. En este estadio, nos planteamos si la animación, debido a su proceso creativo, puede posicionarse como el soporte adecuado para conseguir los dos objetivos marcados: concienciar para desestigmatizar. Siguiendo la teoría de González-Pacanowski y Medina-Aguerrebere (2009); Okan et al., (2016) y Vivas (2021) que aseguran que los recursos visuales y gráficos pueden mejorar la comprensión de este tipo de información al simplificar mensajes complejos, realizaremos un estudio de los cortometrajes de animación What’s Up With Everyone? (Aardman, 2021), con el objetivo de determinar cómo se construye el discurso narrativo y cómo los elementos audiovisuales son clave para conseguir comprender y empatizar con las personas que sufren de trastornos mentales. El análisis de estos cinco cortometrajes de animación nos permite afirmar que la animación logra, gracias a la creatividad y a la creación de universos imaginarios, conectar con la audiencia mediante la empatía, un requisito básico para despertar conciencias.
Exploring post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma in adult animation: a comprehensive analysis of Flee, Waltz witn Bashir and L'Image Manquante
Authors: Lopera-Mármol Marta , López-González Jesús , Pintor Iranzo Ivan
Published: September 2024

Animation has been employed as a productive and subtle means to represent Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and historical trauma. The aim of this article is to study the narrative, visual, and psycho-affective strategies of both phenomena through the films Flee (Jonas Poher Rasmussen, 2021), Waltz with Bashir (Ari Folman, 2008), and L'Image Manquante (Rithy Panh, 2013). The ability of animated images to reconstruct moments for which there is no visual testimony, as well as their capacity to evoke the experience of traumatic events, emerges as the center of a specific aesthetic approach to history, forming a type of cinema of the real (Zylberman, 2022). Contrary to the tradition of documentary and visual essay, there is a more frequent expressive use of evocative mechanisms, dreamlike images combined with archival material, and forms of re-enactment of real events that necessarily do not involve the use of actors. The evocation of painful experiences establishes a visual framework in which the viewer becomes the epicenter of the affective staging of trauma and PTSD, prioritizing poetic construction.
El silencio de las marionetas: soledad y salud mental masculina en las animaciones Anomalisa y Mary and Max
Authors: Retana Bustamante Andy
Published: September 2024

La presente investigación se sumerge la exploración de la soledad masculina a través de dos aclamados largometrajes de animación stop motion: Anomalisa (2015) dirigida por Charlie Kaufman y Duke Johnson, así como Mary and Max (2003) dirigida por Adam Elliot. La misma se llevará a cabo a través de un análisis multimodal, que permitirá examinar cómo se utilizan distintos recursos semióticos para construir historias que reflejan la soledad masculina y problemas de salud mental, considerando las normas de género desde una perspectiva interseccional. Desde este enfoque interdisciplinario, se busca correlacionar técnicas de análisis semiótico-sociales con estudios de género, para detectar las particularidades con las que ambas animaciones presentan a sus personajes masculinos lidiando con la soledad y el aislamiento, así como sus respectivos problemas de salud mental.
Videojuegos para visibilizar las enfermedades mentales: la ludonarrativa como herramienta de concienciación
Authors: Paredes-Otero Guillermo
Published: September 2024

¿Es posible experimentar los síntomas de una psicosis sin tenerla? El porcentaje de personas que padecen problemas mentales ha aumentado en los últimos años a raíz de la pandemia por Covid-19, sobre todo con trastornos como la ansiedad o la depresión. Al mismo tiempo, el videojuego se erige como uno de los formatos culturales y narrativos más relevantes en la actualidad y, gracias a superar su concepción de mera opción de entretenimiento, puede ser una herramienta de sensibilización ante problemas sociales. Este artículo pretende demostrar cómo el ocio interactivo es capaz de concienciar sobre los trastornos mentales a través de la ludonarrativa. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que los personajes, los mundos ficcionales y las opciones de interacción presentes en los videojuegos permiten reflejar de manera real y alejada de prejuicios y estigmas a los pacientes mientras se educa a los usuarios sobre la propia enfermedad.

Published: September 2024

The genetic improvement of rabbits helps increase their productivity and, consequently, increase the supply of animal protein for human consumption. The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of genetic parameters (heritability and genetic correlation) for litter size at birth, litter weight at birth, litter size at weaning, litter weight at weaning and slaughter weight in rabbits. The final dataset contained 147 estimates of heritability and 32 estimates of genetic correlation across 34 articles published between 1992 and 2022. A random-effects model was used and the heterogeneity of estimates was assessed using Q and I2 statistics. Heritability estimates were of low magnitude for all traits, ranging from 0.09 to 0.18. The lowest heritability estimate was observed for litter size at weaning and the highest for slaughter weight. Most genetic correlations between traits were positive and moderate, ranging from 0.44 to 0.60. Significant heterogeneity among studies justified the use of random-effects models. The meta-analysis study provided reliable genetic parameter estimates and these results can support the development of rabbit breeding programmes..
Dietary inclusion of white lupine seeds and their byproducts in rabbits can contribute to EU agricultural sustainability: a review
Authors: Šufliarský Peter , Volek Zdeněk , Ebeid Tarek Amin , Zita Lukáš
Published: September 2024

This review explores the potential of white lupin seeds (Lupinus albus) as a sustainable protein source for rabbit nutrition and examines their effects on growth performance, carcass traits, health status, milk yield, milk composition and nutrient availability. The dietary inclusion of white lupin seeds leads to comparable or superior growth, milk yield, milk composition, nutrient digestibility and digestive health of rabbits, as well as meat quality and carcass outcomes relative to traditionally used protein sources for feeding rabbits, such as soybean meal and sunflower meal. Studies also show that it is possible to use white lupin byproducts, such as the hull and bran, for rabbit diets, which can be convenient in terms of providing an adequate supply of lignocellulose and enhancing the sustainability of rabbit feed, promoting circular economy principles. The cultivation of white lupin can contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the use of synthetic fertiliser. Future research should focus on breeding improvements and comprehensive environmental assessments of white lupin seeds to maximise the benefits of white lupin for rabbit nutrition. These findings support the role of white lupin as a viable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional protein sources, such as soybean meal, which could support productivity and sustainability in rabbit farming.

Experiências de desenvolvimento profissional em efeitos para a escrita de professores da educação básica: relações entre a universidade e a escola
Authors: Bihringer Katiúscia , Tomio Daniela
Published: September 2024

Compreendemos que quando os professores escrevem sobre suas práticas pedagógicas, comunicam o que lhes acontece em seu desenvolvimento profissional, ao mesmo tempo, que posicionam suas experiências como acontecimentos para interlocução com os outros. Partindo desse pressuposto, objetivamos nessa pesquisa analisar os sentidos atribuídos pelos docentes às suas experiências de desenvolvimento profissional em suas relações com o escrever e comunicar suas práticas pedagógicas para além da sua escola. Por um estudo de caso, apresentamos compreensões a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas com um coletivo de professores escritores. Evidenciamos que as interpretações partem de compreensões teóricas acerca de desenvolvimento profissional docente (DPD) e a escrita enquanto estratégia formativa docente. Das interfaces entre o teórico e o empírico (dados) elaboramos as categorias de análise: experiências no desenvolvimento profissional em seus efeitos para a escrita e, o seu inverso, a escrita em seus efeitos para experiências de desenvolvimento profissional. Com as interpretações, concluímos que a promoção de experiências de desenvolvimento profissional de professores em um projeto coletivo de escola tem potência para constituir um coletivo de professores que escreve e publica sobre sua escola e vice-versa. Quando professores escrevem e comunicam sua escola para outros contextos favorecem o aprimoramento da prática pedagógica, o desenvolvimento da identidade docente e da formação. Com isso, possibilitam posicionar a escola pública e seus professores em contexto social e como produtores de conhecimentos. Esta perspectiva é ampliada nas interfaces com a universidade, que se aprimora em percursos de formação docente.

Authors: Lake Maria Melita , Sudiasa I Ketut , Niryana I Wayan
Published: September 2024

Background: Facial injuries are often accompanied by intracranial lesions and cervical fractures, which can increase morbidity and mortality. The Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) has been used as a tool to assess the severity of facial injuries, but its relationship to intracranial lesions and cervical fractures is not fully understood. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) and intracranial lesions and cervical fractures in patients with facial trauma. Method: This research is a retrospective observational study involving [number] of patients with facial injuries treated at [name of hospital] between [date] and [date]. Demographic data, FISS values, intracranial imaging results, and the presence of cervical fractures were collected from medical records. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the relationship between FISS values and the incidence of intracranial lesions and cervical fractures. Results: Of the [number of] patients analyzed, [percentage] had intracranial lesions and [percentage] had cervical fractures. Analysis showed that higher FISS values were significantly correlated with increased risk of intracranial lesions (p < 0.05) and cervical fractures (p < 0.05). The odds ratios for intracranial lesions and cervical fractures in patients with high FISS values are [number] and [number], respectively. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) value and the incidence of intracranial lesions and cervical fractures in patients with facial trauma. The use of FISS can assist in risk assessment and early management of facial injuries that are accompanied by serious complications. Further studies with larger samples are needed to confirm these findings and optimize the use of FISS in clinical practice.

Published: September 2024

Background: Pneumonia, a leading cause of death worldwide, is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis due to pulmonary infections and poor nutritional status. Prolonged hemodialysis worsens nutritional disorders, increasing pneumonia risk. Biomarkers like the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and low albumin can indicate infection and inflammation. This study explores the relationship between NLR, nutritional status, and hemodialysis duration with pneumonia in CKD patients. Methods: This study was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. Using SPSS to univariate analysis in the form of tables with frequency, mean and media; bicariat analysis using chi square test and multivariate analysis with logistic regression. Results: 72 patients undergoing regular hemodialysis, ROC analysis obtained an NLR cut off value of 6.09. Chi Square test results showed a significant association between NLR and pneumonia (OR 2.04; p < 0.05; CI 95% 1.26-3.33) and Hemeodyalisis (HD) duration with pneumonia (OR 4.71 times; CI 95% 1.72-12.93; p 0.004), while there was no significant difference in nutritional status between community pneumonia and non-community pneumonia. Based on the results of multivariate analysis, it was found that NLR levels > 6.09, HD duration > 1 year, and the presence of comorbid heart failure were risk factors that significantly increased the incidence of community pneumonia in patients undergoing regular HD. Conclusion: There is a significant association between NLR >6.09 and HD duration and comorbid heart failure with community pneumonia in patients undergoing regular HD at Prof. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Hospital.

Published: September 2024

The current study focuses on the synthesis of coumarin-triazole hybrids (7i-t) starting from 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde or 4-hydroxyacetophenone (1a-b) and propargyl bromide. On the other hand, coumarin derivatives (5c-h) were prepared by Pechmann cyclization and treated with sodium azide to give the corresponding 3-azido methyl coumarins (6c-h). Finally, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between compounds 6c-h and terminal alkyne 2a-b produces coumarin-triazole hybrids (7i-t) utilizing click chemistry approaches that are high yielding, wide in scope and simple to perform. The structural proofs of the newly synthesized coumarin-triazole hybrids (7i-t) are proved by various spectroscopic techniques, including IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and LC-MS. The synthesized new coumarin triazole hybrids (7i-t) were explored for their antihyperglycemic potential and therefore evaluated for α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activities along with anti-inflammatory. The results suggest that among the series, compound 7l showed excellent activity with an IC50 value of 0.67±0.014 mg/mL and 0.72±0.012 mg/mL for α-amylase, and α-glucosidase inhibitory potential while compound 7o showed promising anti-inflammatory activity with IC50 value of 0.54±0.003 mg/mL. To support the above findings, molecular docking studies were performed, which confirmed the interaction of the synthesized molecules 7i-t with an effective binding energy of -9.0 to -10.6 kcal/mol at the active site of the enzyme human pancreatic α-amylase (PDB ID: 1B2Y). Therefore, these scaffolds have the potential to function as lead candidates for antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities.

Published: September 2024

Inflammation and oxidative stress are involved in the aetiology of numerous human diseases. The two processes are interconnected such that one may appear before or after the other, but as soon as one of them appears, the other will. Consequently, targeting the two conditions may aid in the prevention or treatment of associated human diseases, and plants capable of performing the two functions together are of great advantage. This study was aimed at evaluating the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials of methanol and aqueous extracts of Calotropis procera and Enantia chlorantha. The leaves of the two plants were extracted separately in water and methanol using a cold maceration method. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the Lipid peroxidation (LPO), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), while the anti-inflammatory properties were evaluated using membrane stabilization and inhibition of protein denaturation assays. Qualitative phytochemical analysis was performed using standard methods. The results of the study showed that the aqueous extract of the two plants demonstrated better antioxidant activity than the methanol extracts. IC50 values of 61.60, 59.12, and 83.07 µg/mL were, respectively, for ascorbic acid, aqueous extracts of E. chlorantha and C. procera, while the methanol extracts of both plants recorded a value >150 µg/mL for DPPH. For LPO inhibition, the IC50 values were 191.79 µg/mL, >150 µg/mL for the aqueous, methanol extracts of C. procera and 228.25 µg/mL, 135.46 µg/mL for ascorbic acid and quercetin used as standards. The aqueous extract of E. chlorantha had a value of 161.95 µg/mL and the methanol extracts had a value >250 µg/mL. For the two anti-inflammatory methods used, the IC50 values for the plant were >250 µg/mL. Phytochemicals such as tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, and phenols were identified in both plant samples. Overall, the results demonstrated the potential of the plant when used for the treatment of diseases related to inflammatory and oxidative stress.

Analysis of the effect of benefits and barriers on the level of e-commerce adoption is carried out using multiple linear regression tests.
Results. The results show that the benefits are highly perceived by SMEs: e-commerce facilitates interaction with consumers, facilitates data access, improves customer services, and eases online product distribution. Moderate barriers include limited mastery of knowledge and skills about e-commerce, inadequate mastery of foreign language skills, and SMEs’ tendency to depend on conventional marketing. The most e-commerce adoption level is level 4 (electronic transactions), followed by level 6 (site optimisation) and level 5 (relationship building). The study also confirms that benefits and barriers significantly affect e-commerce adoption levels.
Originality / scientific novelty. This research was conducted based on the perceived benefits and barriers of e-commerce use by traditional beverage SMEs, which had never been carried out in the study area. This study reveals the fact of positive transition and expectations for increasing the level of e-commerce adoption at the SME level whereas previous studies show rather the opposite conditions. The study categorised e-commerce adoption levels into three categories (low, moderate, and high) based on the 6 stages model of e-commerce adoption.
Practical value / implications. Efforts to provide solutions are necessary to encourage the level of e-commerce adoption through intensive socialsation, motivation, training, and mentoring to improve knowledge and skills on e-commerce and foreign language skills as well as encourage e-commerce to become a daily culture for SMEs.

Purpose. The importance of this study is underscored by the possibility of recurring pandemics in human history. In this context, efforts to overcome or adapt to such crises, particularly in maintaining food security at the household level, become essential for sustaining human life. The study was conducted to identify and analyse the relationship between food security and various dimensions, along with the coping strategies adopted by three different food security statuses in Banten province, Indonesia.
Methodology / approach. Primary data were collected from a survey of 170 households selected by stratified random sampling based on three regions with different food security status. To address the research question, regression analysis was used to develop a logistic model illustrating the relationship between independent variables, including social, economic, and demographic factors, dimensions of food security, coping strategies, and the dependent variable of household food security, as assessed by the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) score.
Results. The Coping Strategy Index (CSI) variable significantly affected food security with a 99 % confidence interval. Variables such as the age of the family head, the number of family members in the household, and the Food Consumption Score (FCS) were identified to have a significant effect with a 95 % confidence interval. Meanwhile, the education level of the family head was the only independent variable found to have a significant effect at the 90 % confidence interval.
Originality / scientific novelty. This research is the first study conducted in Indonesia regarding the effect of household coping strategies during the Covid-19 pandemic, dimensions of food security, socio-demographic factors on household food security status for three different regional characteristics in Banten province, Indonesia, using a logistic regression model. This model has been tested and has shown high feasibility.
Practical value / implications. This study provides evidence of a significant influence of household coping strategies, household consumption scores, age of the household head, and family size. This has implications for the role of households in improving adaptation during times of crisis, particularly in acquiring quality food and meeting daily food needs. The selection of the right and quality menu can enhance the resilience and nutrition of each household member in crisis situations such as the Covid-19 pandemic. The results of these findings will also have implications for government policies related to ensuring education for all citizens, setting a minimum age for marriage, and promoting the Family Planning program to control the number of children in households.

School-based management is a school management system that grants authority and power to the institution to manage its operations in line with its potential, demands, and needs. A school is an institution that has the independent authority to establish educational programs (curriculum) and their implications for various school policies in accordance with the school's vision, mission, and educational goals. The aim of this study is to understand and analyze the functions of school management in Senior High Schools. The implementation of school management has been carried out through learning planning, learning implementation, and learning supervision. The learning objectives provide an overview of the relevance and activities to be carried out; the teaching and learning implementation is closely tied to the dimension of human resources, encompassing the number of teachers, educational qualifications, curriculum, library, and more. Furthermore, the supervision of teaching and learning is conducted by the principal in cooperation with the school’s teachers’ council, as well as by the Branch Office of Education both directly and indirectly. Therefore, the implementation of Senior High School Management functions can be concluded as a guideline for conducting learning activities to improve the quality of education. Additionally, alumni and the community should support teaching and learning activities as a form of participation in enhancing the quality of education.

Fighting Inequality Through a Progressive Tax System for a Just Future in Tanzania
Authors: Ndilito Netho , Morwa Balozi
Published: September 2024

The problem of inequality is one of the economic problems that developing countries still face including Tanzania. This research therefore focuses on presenting the status and trends of inequality and the progressive tax system to pay for a just future in Tanzania. Research was anchored on the Ability-to-Pay Principle. The study was typically a desk research whereby it dwelled on analyzing and synthesizing large amounts of complex secondary data/information and literature concerning the issue of inequality in Tanzania. The target population for this study consists of secondary data sources, which included Peer-reviewed journal articles on taxation and inequality Government reports and taxation data from the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA). A purposive sampling methodology was employed to choose relevant studies and reports. This approach ascertained that only sources directly related to the research goals were included. The sample consisted of 20 sources, selected based on criteria such as: Year of publication. Content analysis was adopted in analyzing data to discover themes, patterns and trends related to progressive tax systems, income inequality reduction, and wealth distribution. Key variables such as tax policies, inequality measures (Gini coefficient), and wealth distribution patterns were extracted and analyzed to determine the effectiveness of progressive taxation in Tanzania.  Findings revealed that while progressive taxes can be a remedy, the presence of large informal sectors, as in Tanzania, hinder their reach. Thus, while Tanzania’s progressive tax structure holds potential, more reforms are in need to boost implementation alongside widening the tax base. Further, the study concluded that there is little wealth-related taxation in Tanzania. Also, assets such as land ownership or financial assets are hardly/not taxed. The study recommended that given the situation, there is a great need to improve the tax collection with a focus on the existing tax base in Tanzania.
