The Netflix Omnivore. The effect of streaming platforms on cultural diversity and inequalities
Authors: Coavoux Samuel , Aussant Abel
Published: May 2024

Do digital technologies affect the breadth of cultural taste? Digital sociologists have warned of "filter bubbles," and of persisting digital inequalities; cultural sociologists have shown that cultural diversity is valued and serves as a marker of upper-middle-class status; but there are few empirical studies of the link between the two, and all are correlational. We estimate the effect of using streaming platforms on the diversity of cultural consumption using survey data from France(Pratiques culturelles 2018, n = 8692). We apply template matching to adjust for six sets of confounders, demographics, social position and origin, cultural participation during childhood, intensity of cultural consumption, the overall propensity towards diversity, and digital uses. We find a significant, positive effect of using streaming platforms on the diversity of cultural consumption, measured by the number of cultural genres declared to be consumed, across three domains, music, movies, and TV series, as well as on the propensity to watch movies and TV series in a foreign language. The magnitude of this effect is relatively low for music(.1 sd, .2 genres), intermediate for movies(.2 sd, .6 genres), but high for TV series (.46 sd, 1.2 genres). The study brings new evidence against the filter bubble thesis; it shows that platforms do reinforce cultural inequalities by increasing the gap in cultural diversity between the working classes and the elite; and it suggests that the effect of technology on cultural consumption might be mediated through its impact on cultural markets rather than changes in cultural experience.

व्याकरण भाषाको आत्मा एवम् भाषिक अनुशासन सिकाउने शास्त्र हो । शरीरमा नसाको महत्व भएझैं  भाषाका लागि व्याकरणको महत्व हुन्छ । व्याकरणिक सुझ र व्यवहार तथा विशुद्ध प्रयोग अभ्यासहरूबाट व्याकरण सम्मत शुद्ध भाषाको प्रयोग गर्न सकिन्छ । भाषा शिक्षणमा व्याकरणलाई पनि एक विशिष्ट भाषिक विषयवस्तुका रूपमा ग्रहण गरेर शिक्षण गर्ने प्रचलन रहेको छ । यसको शिक्षणबाट सम्पूर्ण विद्यार्थीहरूमा हुने भाषा प्रयोगको त्रुटि वा अशुद्धिलाई निर्मूल पार्न सकिन्छ । भाषाबिना व्याकरणको कल्पना गर्न नसकिने भएकाले व्याकरणलाई भाषाबाट पृथक गरी जटिल तरिकाले शिक्षण गर्न खोज्दा भाषा शिक्षणमा कृत्रिमता आई अवैज्ञानिक र अव्यावहारिक तरिका अवलम्बन गरेको प्रष्ट हुन्छ । व्याकरण भनेको सम्बन्धित भाषाका मूल वक्ताहरूको भाषा प्रयोगमा पाइने संरचनागत विशेषता हो । यो भाषाको आन्तरिक संरचना सम्बन्धी तत्त्व हो । नेपाली भाषाको उच्चस्तरीय क्षमता वृद्घि गराउन विद्यालयदेखि महाविद्यालयसम्म नेपाली व्याकरणको शिक्षण गर्ने गराउने प्रचलन रहेको छ । नेपाली व्याकरण नेपाली भाषाका आन्तरिक नियम व्यवस्थासँगै आबद्घ व्याकरण मानिन्छ । नेपाली व्याकरणले नेपाली भाषालाई बुझ्न र व्याख्या गर्न सहयोग पु¥याउँदछ । त्यतिमात्रै नभई नेपाली भाषाको स्तरयुक्त, मानक, शिष्ट, शुद्घ र सान्दर्भिक प्रयोग संरचनाहरूका सुझ र सिप सिकाई भाषिक एकरुपता, स्थिरता र सम्प्रेष्यता हासिल गराउन मार्गनिर्देश गर्दछ । यसले विद्यालय तह देखि महाविद्यालय तहसम्म नेपाली व्याकरण शिक्षण गर्ने शिक्षकहरुलाई शिक्षण गर्दा आइपरेका समस्याहरुको समाधानका लागि यसले ठूलो सहयोग पु¥याउँदछ । यसले अझ व्याकरण अध्ययन गर्ने अध्येता, अनुसन्धानदाता सबैलाई मद्दत गर्दछ । यस लेखमा नेपाली व्याकरण शिक्षणका क्रममा आइपरेका समस्याहरू पत्ता लगाई तिनीहरूको समाधानका लागि अपनाउनुपर्ने उपायहरू प्रस्तुत गर्ने उद्देश्य राखिएको छ । व्याकरण शिक्षणका प्रकृयाहरूलाई आधार मानेर द्वितीय स्रोतका सामग्रीहरूको उपयोग गरी व्याकरण शिक्षणका समस्याहरूको पहिचान र तिनका समाधानका उपायहरू प्रस्तुत गरिएको छ । विद्यालय तहमा नेपाली व्याकरण शिक्षणका समस्याहरू पहिचान गर्ने क्रममा पुस्तकालयीय विधिमा आधारित भई द्वितीय स्रोतका सामग्रीहरूलाई यहाँ विश्लेषणात्मक शैलीमा प्रस्तुत गरिएको छ । नेपाली व्याकरण शिक्षण गर्दा पुरानो मानकप्रति झुकाव रहेको, उपयुक्त शैक्षणिक व्याकरणलाई आत्मसात गरी शिक्षण गर्न नसकेको, शिक्षकहरुमा ज्ञान तथा तालिमको अभाव रहेको प्रयोगात्मक र कार्यमूलक व्याकरणमा जोड नदिएको, वर्णविन्यासमा एकरुपता कायम नगरी शिक्षण गरिएको छ । अतः देशव्यापी रुपमा एउटै समसामयिक मानक व्याकरण प्रयोग गरी रचनामुखी व्याकरणलाई जोड दिदैँ शिक्षण अनुभव र सामग्री निर्माण अनुभवलाई वृद्घि गरी यसको समाधानका लागि सम्बन्धित विषय शिक्षक, विद्यालय, क्याम्पस प्रशासन, सम्बन्धित विद्वान्, नेपाली विभाग एवम् सिङ्गो राष्ट्र नै सचेत भई सक्रिय भई व्याकरण शिक्षणमा सुधार गर्नु आवश्यक छ ।

Authors: Whitten Cindy , Turner Alison , Roberts Kobe , Howell Brittany , Sparkes Brooklyn , Daley Peter
Published: May 2024

Background:

Global elimination of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is feasible using existent tools. Reporting the provincial HCV care cascade will contribute to national and global HCV elimination efforts.

Methods:

This observational study was a secondary use of population-level medical record data, including laboratory results for HCV testing and prescription data for HCV treatment in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). All patients with HCV antibody testing performed between Jan 1, 2017 and Jan 1, 2022 were included. All prescriptions dispensed from a community pharmacy in NL for any HCV treatment during the same period were included.

Results:

There were 84,252 antibody tests included. Of these, 3,626 (4.3%) tests were positive for HCV antibodies. Seventy eight percent (1,377/1,766) of the individuals with positive antibody tests were tested for HCV RNA. Only 377/1,061 (35.5%) individuals with a positive RNA test were treated, and 257/395 (65.1%) achieved sustained virological response at 12 weeks.

Conclusions:

NL has successfully identified and treated HCV, but treatment access is low. Targets for improvement include increased screening, reflex testing of positive antibody with RNA, increased linkage to care, change in treatment funding policy, and quicker treatment funding decision.
Enclaves de violencia: El crimen organizado y los territorios estratégicos en México
Authors: OLIVERA Sazcha Marcelo , Fuerte-Celis Maria del Pilar
Published: May 2024

Comprender los patrones subyacentes de la actividad delictiva puede desempeñar un papel crucial en limitar la actividad delictiva y con ello garantizar la seguridad pública. El presente trabajo desarrolla un modelo estadístico del comportamiento de los grupos delictivos organizados en México de 2007 a 2011, que muestra la reconfiguración territorial de la actividad ilícita en enclaves de violencia. El modelo proporciona evidencia empírica de la racionalidad estratégica de los grupos criminales en la ocupación de regiones específicas del país. Para capturar estos patrones de comportamiento del crimen organizado, empleamos indicadores de correlación espacial de primer y primer orden ajustado, así como medidas de centralidad mediante nodos de redes espaciales. Las variables de red mejoran el ajuste y el poder explicativo del modelo al tener en cuenta patrones espaciales intrincados. El enfoque usado contribuye a caracterizar la violencia desde una perspectiva geográfica y trasciende la frontera entre el origen y las consecuencias de la violencia en un territorio determinado.

Human Rights Violations in Kashmir and the Role of the United Nations
Authors: Imran Muhammad , Murtiza Ghulam , Sulyman Akbar Muhammad
Published: May 2024

Kashmir is primarily a territorial dispute between India and Pakistan. There is a substantial ideological component to the intentions of the two nation-states in this matter, which go beyond simple geopolitical or strategic considerations. The role of the United Nations (UN) in the face of human rights violations in Kashmir is the subject of this article. This article continues to cover the conflict in Kashmir between India and Pakistan. Hence, it highlights the significance of the UNs' involvement in the Kashmir conflict. The failure of UN resolutions on the Kashmir dispute and the Indian government's rejection of outside engagement are both extensively addressed. In Kashmir, the physical and emotional pain has resulted from the failure of the international community to protect human rights. The research concludes that India would never be able to find a lasting solution to the situation in Kashmir because there have been no significant political or economic repercussions on India as a result of the Kashmiri conflict.
Space Weaponization and Strategic Stability in South Asia
Authors: Tehsin Muhammad
Published: May 2024

States are investing extensively in outer space to establish military supremacy as it is the new battleground. Space has advanced to become a crucial component of military and security operations in recent decades, posing new opportunities and difficulties for the defence and intelligence communities. However, India is also advancing its capabilities in outer space, and its efforts to militarize space will have a severe impact on Pakistan and the instability in the region. Indian militarization of outer space and pursuit of eventual weaponization will result in a needless arms race between Pakistan and India. The long-standing competition, as well as the mutual deterrence strategy between India and Pakistan, is the principal root cause of instability in South Asia. Pakistan retains the option to adopt directed energy weapons (DEWs) by deploying them in military satellites, which can be used for orbital bombardment.
Bilateral relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia: Implications for Regional Stability in the Middle East and North Africa
Authors: Tehsin Muhammad
Published: May 2024

The Middle East's geopolitical terrain has historically been marked by tensions and conflicts, with the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Iran being one of the most consequential factors. The global powers, particularly the US and China, should mediate the potential rapprochement between these regional powers. A study of the US and China's potential role as facilitators in the Iran-Saudi Arabian reconciliation reveals a complicated web of geopolitical, strategic, and economic variables. The changing global power structure and the possible alteration of regional dynamics are both significant. The paper delves into the changing relationships between Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkey in Northeast Africa. It explores the historical connections,recent developments, and each country's motivations in the region. Explaining the future course of Middle Eastern politics and the larger field of international relations requires understanding the subtleties of the policies formulated by the US, China, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.

Published: May 2024

Extraction of natural compounds generally uses organic solvents, which have a high risk to human health. Green solvents based on the natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) have been used for the extraction of active compounds from coffee cherry waste. This research has formulated eight NADES based on choline chloride by combining fructose, citric acid, glycerol, proline, glucose, xylose, propylene glycol, and lactic acid with a mole ratio of 1:2. The FTIR analysis of NADES showed that there was a hydrogen bond interaction with OH group peaks in the wave number range 3012-3357 cm-1. NADES application was used for phenolic and tannin extraction from coffee cherry waste. The extraction efficiency of phenolic was combined of choline chloride with HBD of proline>xylose>glucose>glycerol>lactic acid >fructose>propylene glycol>citric acid. The maximum phenolic content in the extract using choline chloride-proline was 11.81 mg GAE/g. The ability of NADES to extract tannins using choline chloride with the combination of glucose>proline>lactic acid>propylene glycol>glycerol>citric acid> fructose. The maximum tannin content was obtained at 1.58% using NADES based on choline chloride with glucose. NADES has been successfully used as an environmentally friendly to replace organic solvents to extract phenolic and tannin in coffee cherry waste.

Authors: Yepez-Madrigal A.J. , Sosa-Villalobos C.A. , G. Domínguez-Sánchez
Published: May 2024

Hydrogen is a product that has been on the rise over the past decade. Its primary use is as a raw material in industry, but it is also emerging as a provider of electrical power and fuel. A laboratory-scale electrolysis cell was used with seawater employing stainless steel electrodes. Hydrogen production was measured using an electrochemical sensor and an alternating current power source to measure current intensity. A voltage was established in a range of 1,5 to 20 V as the operating condition. The current density (j) behavior in the electrolysis cell increased with increasing applied voltage. Current density ranged from 0,07 A/cm2 to 3,15 A/cm2 . Hydrogen production efficiency was achieved from 2,5 V onwards, indicating that reaching 1000 ppmH2 was accomplished in 53 and 34 seconds at voltages of 15 and 20 V, respectively.

Growing evidence points to enzymatic carrageenan manufacturing as an eco-friendly process. This study examines the effects of varying enzyme concentrations (between 0.1% and 0.5%) and altering the precipitation process by combining KCl salt with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) on the qualitative characteristics of carrageenan products. Carrageenan extraction is made easier by cellulase, which breaks down the cellulose component of the seaweed wall. The precipitation process's use of KCl has a major impact on the gel's viscosity, water content, ash content, and sulfate content. The findings show that, compared to IPA alone, the addition of KCl alters the gel strength and sulfate content. Gel strength and viscosity are also highly influenced by different enzyme concentrations, where larger enzyme concentrations result in lower values. The rapid visco analyzer demonstrates improved gel formation and higher final viscosity values (113 cP at 0.1% enzyme usage) with the addition of KCl salt. This study sheds light on optimizing enzymatic carrageenan production for enhanced product quality and efficiency.

The final products of the process are carbonyl compounds, which are produced by the oxidation of pentaamminecobalt(III) complexes of bound and unbound α-amino acids by Caro's acid in a micellar medium. At 32°C, it has been examined. On [α-amino acids] and [Caro's acid], the rate of the reaction exhibits first-order kinetics in both cases. The reaction rate is accelerated by the addition of micelles. After the reaction, a UV-visible spectrophotometer monitors the decline in Co(III)'s absorbance at 504 nm. The reaction's stoichiometry is 0.5 moles of Co(III) α-amino acid complexes using 1.0 mole of Caro's acid, as opposed to 1.0 moles of unbound α-amino acids consuming 1.0 mole of Caro's acid. Acrylonitrile cannot be made to polymerize by reaction. FTIR Spectra have been used to support every one of the freshly synthesized compounds' structural details.

In recent years, clay-based organic thermosetting polyurethane polymer nanocomposites have more attracted attention in academia and industries because they exhibit different properties from conventional materials. In this study, we investigated novel thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) by adding nanoparticles of clay as a fire-retardant property. By employing an in-situ polymerization technique with a 2:1 ratio of tolylene 2,4-diisocyanate (TPI) and polyethylene glycol (PEG2000), the NCO terminated TPU prepolymer was created. Cloisite 25A (C25A), an organo-modified montmorillonite clay, was utilized to provide sufficient compatibility with the PEG/TPI matrix. The synthesized nanocomposite was examined using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), SEM analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). FTIR analysis provides information on functional groups. Compared to pure polyurethane, the nanocomposites showed superior thermal stabilities, as determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results from X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy confirm the successful formation of an exfoliated polymer clay nanocomposite under all conditions, evidenced by the absence of the distinct peak (2θ = 4.79º) corresponding to the d-spacing of the organoclay. The relationship between clay loading and TPU matrix type and the mechanical characteristics of nanocomposites was examined. As the amount of clay in the Young's TPU/Cl25A nanocomposites grew, so did their tensile strength and modulus. The fire-retardant experiment was studied by a cone colorimeter. There have been notable advancements in the fire-retardant qualities, including smoke, CO output, and heat release rate. Comparing polyurethane integrated with 5-weight percent organoclay to ordinary polyurethane polymer, a noteworthy 53% reduction was observed.

Prediabetes is a continuous spectrum of developmental stages before a person is diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. Considering the long-term effects of pharmacological treatment, other natural-based methods are needed. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of Aloe Vera Juice on the reduction of fasting blood glucose levels in patients with prediabetes in Pontianak City. A pre and post-test design study was conducted between March and July 2021 at Alianyang Public Health Center. A total of 12 subjects were identified as prediabetic at the beginning of the study through screening involved in this study. The included subjects were asked to consume 175 ml of Aloe Vera Juice for 15 consecutive days and measured their fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels on the 16th day. A paired t-test was performed to determine the difference in FBG levels before and after the treatment. Present findings revealed that the mean FBG level before intervention was 107.4 mg / dL and 92.1 mg/dL after the intervention. A statistically different FBG reduction significance was found between groups (p<0.001). Consuming Aloe vera juice regularly for 15 days has proven to lower FBG levels among prediabetics. Future studies with better adherence monitor and larger sample sizes might have resulted in better determination of the intervention's effect.

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are common in tropical and sub-tropical regions where they can have substantial local public health impacts. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of STH infection in the community and children aged 6 to 11 years attending government-run schools in the Simanindo sub-district of Samosir Island. In total, 314 individuals in the community and 187 children aged 6 to 11 years attending government schools were invited to provide a fecal sample. All fecal samples were examined microscopically using the Kato-Katz technique. The prevalence of STH infection in the community was 46.8% (147/314). Infections were caused by Ascaris lumbricoides (n=52), followed by Trichuris trichiura (n=48), and hookworms (n=26). The prevalence of STH infection in school-age children was 4.8% in 2023. All infections in this cohort were due to T. trichiura. Even though the MDA program effectively controls A. lumbricoides and hookworm infections in school children, the problem of controlling T. trichiura infection remains. Therefore, selective treatment after fecal sample examination is needed to prevent T. trichiura infection and the potential for infection-associated anemia. Health education focusing on personal hygiene and environmental sanitation is still important for preventing STH infections. The suggestion is a new community-based survey with random sampling is necessary to ensure the present prevalence of STH in the community.

Adequate macronutrients and micronutrients during pregnancy can support optimal fetal growth and development in addition to meeting the needs of the mother to ensure a healthy pregnancy.  The region of residence is one of the factors that contribute to determining how nutrition is fulfilled in groups of pregnant women. This study aims to compare the adequacy of macronutrients and micronutrients between pregnant women in urban and rural areas. This study involved 50 pregnant women, 25 in urban areas and 25 in rural areas. Nutritional information was obtained using a food recall questionnaire that was assessed for 3 days, namely on 2 working days (not consecutive) and 1 day off and also using a food frequency questioner (FFQ). Data was analyzed using Chi Square and Results showed a difference in carbohydrate (p=0.049) and protein (p=0.045) consumption between urban and rural pregnant women, while energy (p=0.053) and fat (p=0.056) showed no difference in adequacy. For micronutrients, Vitamin A (p=0.043) and B12 (p=0.042) consumption showed differences between urban and rural pregnant women, while for vitamin C (p=0.065), vitamin B1 (p=0.078), vitamin B2 (p=0.084), B3 (p=0.056), B6 (p=0.075), E (p=0.088), Iron (p=0.052), Folic acid (p=0.067), Calcium (p=0.054), Phosphorus (p=0.055), fiber (p=0.079), showed no difference in consumption between urban and rural pregnant women. The consumption of micronutrients and macronutrients of pregnant women in rural and urban areas showed less intake than recommended. Nutrition education needs to be improved not only focusing on pregnant women but also on adolescent groups, pre-conception period so that early on good consumption patterns have been formed which will always be applied throughout life.
