Published: January 2025

In the present study, the flow field in the bi-polar plate and Gas diffusion layer (GDL) of 1.2 kW Nexa fuel cell (FC) training system having a serpentine flow field has been examined. The channel dimension and shape in the flow field of the bipolar/end plates have been examined. Pressure drop with hydrogen flow rate and channel length. For enormous hydrogen inputs, The optimal measurement is around 1.5, 1.5,, and 0.5 mm for the values of channel width, channel depth, and width of land, corresponding Research on the effect of channel designs revealed that semi-circular, rectangle and triangular-shaped and found The land width for triangular and semicircular-shaped are almost zero millimeters which increase the water vapor accumulation, due to which the losses increase. However there are very few losses in the polarization curve seen in the square cross-section because there is very l water vapor buildup. A GDL is an essential component of an FC. The three-dimensional model of the GDL is simulated using COMSOL metaphysics 4.2 and observed that increased porosity facilitated the entry of more reactants into the reaction side, resulting in increased current density. Low membrane thickness resulted from excessive current density in the membrane. Thicker GDL provides reactant species that raise the rate of consumption at the point where the catalytic layer and GDL interface. The outcomes of the simulation are contrasted with experimental data found in published works. The comparison demonstrates that the modeling outcomes and the experimental data agree quite well.

Published: January 2025

The study investigated Trichoderma-mediated morphological and biochemical responses in drought-susceptible and tolerant rice cultivars, namely IR-64 and DRR-44, under drought-stressed and normal conditions. Various morphological and biochemical parameters were recorded 30, 60, and 90 days after transplanting. The shoot length was insignificant, while the root length was significant in drought-susceptible DRR-44 compared to non-stressed plants. The number of roots was also significant in Trichoderma BHU-1 treated plants of both cultivars. Proline content was more substantial in drought susceptible cultivars than tolerant and similarly, lignin, TPC, PAL, and PO activities were higher in Trichoderma BHU-1 treated drought-stressed plants than in normal ones. The result revealed that Trichoderma BHU-1 treatment modulates an increase in root length, shoot length, and the total number of tillers and roots under drought conditions. It also maintained the level of phenolics in plants by upregulating the pathway thereby helping the plant to sustain drought.

Published: January 2025

Salmonella Paratyphi A, also known as typhoidal Salmonella, is the causative agent of typhoid fever or paratyphoid fever, a threatening, invasive (bacteraemia), and occasionally fatal human disease (also called enteric fever). Even though Salmonella infections can be treated with different antibiotics, developing resistance to many broad-range antibiotics like chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, ampicillin, and sulfamethoxazole is still a big problem. Therefore, an alternative strategy is needed urgently, which is more effective with minimal systemic side effects for treating diseases caused by Salmonella paratyphi A. In this current study, we describe the isolation, characterization, and in vivo evaluation of Sal11TP, a host-specific bacteriophage with lytic activity against multidrug-resistant Salmonella paratyphi A. Morphological examinations revealed that phage Sal11TP belonged to the order caudovirales of the Siphoviridae family, with an icosahedral head (62.8 nm) and a long tail (104.5 nm in length). Based on the one-step growth curve, Sal11TP has a short latent period (20 min) and burst size (29 PFU/cell). The in vitro stability test showed that it remained stable below 40°C and pH 6-7 after treatment for 1 h. The ideal multiplicity of infection for phage Sal11TP was 0.001. The therapeutic potential of phage Sal11TP was evaluated using a mouse model. Findings of the study demonstrated a reduction in bacterial loads in the heart and kidney tissues of intraperitoneally infected mice during prophylaxis, as well as a dose-dependent and antibiotic versus phage treatment. The explanation of the characteristics and in vivo research results of phage Sal11TP show that it could be used as an effective bio-control agent to prevent Salmonella paratyphi A infections. Phage Sal11TP’s characteristics and in vivo results suggest it could serve as an effective bio-control agent against Salmonella paratyphi A infections.

Enhancing the Robustness of Zero-Shot LLMs Against Adversarial Prompts
Authors: Akshit Rambarki Sai
Published: January 2025

Zero-shot large language models (LLMs) have proven highly effective in performing a wide range of tasks without the
need for task-specific training, making them versatile tools in natural language processing. However, their susceptibility to
adversarial prompts—inputs crafted to exploit inherent weaknesses—raises critical concerns about their reliability and safety in
real-world applications. This paper focuses on evaluating the robustness of zero-shot LLMs when exposed to adversarial
scenarios. A detailed evaluation framework was developed to systematically identify common vulnerabilities in the models'
responses. The study explores mitigation techniques such as adversarial training to improve model resilience, refined prompt
engineering to guide the models toward desired outcomes, and logical consistency checks to ensure coherent and ethical
responses. Experimental findings reveal substantial gaps in robustness, particularly in handling ambiguous, misleading, or
harmful prompts. These results underscore the importance of targeted interventions to address these vulnerabilities. The
research provides actionable insights into improving zero-shot LLMs by enhancing their robustness and ensuring ethical
adherence. These contributions align with the broader goal of creating safe, reliable, and responsible AI systems that can
withstand adversarial manipulation while maintaining their high performance across diverse applications.

Fugir ao utilitarismo: experimentações com o queer e o ensino de geografia
Authors: Pereira Stribel Guilherme Pereira Stribel , Pereira de Sousa Victor
Published: January 2025

Resumo
O modo como o campo de estudos em ensino de Geografia se constituiu no Brasil vem demonstrando que seguimos caminhando por uma lógica utilitarista sustentada pela racionalidade neoliberal que promete perversamente a ideia de um futuro melhor. Isso corrobora para a ideia de que o ensino de Geografia precise servir para alguma coisa, o que sustenta políticas como a Base Nacional Comum Curricular e o Novo Ensino Médio, prometendo aos estudantes a tomada de decisões para seus próprios destinos, formando os cidadãos que demanda o mundo contemporâneo, mas deixando para eles o fardo de um possível fracasso futuro. Desse modo, por meio de um exercício de especulação teórica, o presente artigo se constitui como uma proposta de fugir ao utilitarismo no ensino de Geografia por meio de experimentações com o queer. Entendido como uma dimensão experimental do mundo, o queer possibilita a imaginação de um mundo outro, tensionando as próprias noções de tempo e espaço, desvencilhando de promessas de futuro que não tem nenhuma garantia de serem cumpridas diante do cenário sociopolítico brasileiro. Assim, queerizar o ensino de Geografia não é uma resposta ou um projeto, mas um exercício experimental de pensar esse ensino como produtor de sentidos, tendo a experiência de viver juntos como um constante ato de criação.

Abstract
The way the field of Geography teaching has been established in Brazil demonstrates that we are still walking along a utilitarian logic sustained by neoliberal rationality, which deceitfully promises the idea of a better future. This corroborates the notion that Geography teaching needs to serve a purpose, which supports policies such as the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) [National Common Core Curriculum] and the Novo Ensino Médio (NEM) [New High School], promising students the ability to make decisions about their own destinies, shaping the citizens demanded by the contemporary world, but burdening them with the possibility of future failure. Thus, through an exercise of theoretical speculation, this article proposes to escape utilitarianism in Geography teaching by engaging in queer experimentation. Understood as an experimental dimension of the world, queerness enables the imagination of another world, challenging notions of time and space, disentangling from promises of a future that have no guarantee of being fulfilled given the Brazilian sociopolitical scenario. Therefore, queering Geography teaching is not an answer or a project, but an experimental exercise in thinking of this education as a producer of meanings, with the experience of living together as a constant act of creation.

Bridging taste and health: the role of machine learning in consumer food selection
Authors: Adhikari Saroj , McFadden Brandon R.
Published: January 2025

Navigating the modern food landscape is complex, often leading consumers to make suboptimal dietary choices due to information, time constraints, and psychological vulnerabilities. Machine learning (ML) presents a promising solution to enhance the contemporary grocery shopping experience by providing personalized dietary recommendations tailored to individual preferences and characteristics. Traditional methods of dietary guidance cannot account for nuanced consumer characteristics and preferences. In contrast, ML algorithms can incorporate specific information about individuals and continuously adapt to provide personalized recommendations, considering factors like historical eating habits, socio-demographics, nutritional requirements, etc. This paper explores the potential value of ML in enhancing personalized dietary recommendations, focusing on personalization at scale and sustained behavior modification. Additionally, it discusses how retailers can integrate ML into the shopping experience to offer customized recommendations based on consumer and inventory data. Future innovations, such as incorporating biometric data, further enhance the precision of personalized recommendations and support ‘Food is Medicine’ programs. By doing so, ML can offer opportunities for retailers to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty by providing personalized recommendations aligned with consumer-centric marketing strategies. By guiding consumer food choices, ML recommendations can potentially improve shopping experiences and benefit consumers and retailers.

Published: January 2025

Integral calculus is an important course, but it often becomes a problematic phenomenon for students, even in collaborative learning settings. Various types of research have been conducted to examine this phenomenon, one of which is phenomenology. The purpose of this study is to analyze the experiences of students in collaborative integral calculus courses. The study involved two program chairs, two lecturers, and nineteen prospective mathematics teachers from programs in Indramayu and Mataram, Indonesia. The main instrument in this study was the researcher, supported by additional tools such as program observation sheets, lecturer interview guides, and student questionnaires. The research data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed several challenges in the course, such as students' lack of readiness for online learning and visualization, the short duration of discussion videos that were not yet linked to real-world contexts, and unstable internet connections. Although the outcomes of collaborative learning have not surpassed those of conventional methods, there are several advantages, such as students being able to replay discussion videos and gain new peers. This study recommends that collaborative learning should utilize virtual reality based on ethnomathematics, increase the number of discussion videos, and strengthen students' prerequisite knowledge to better meet the needs in integral calculus courses.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the implementation of mathematics learning based on the unity of sciences in Islamic senior high schools. This qualitative research with a case study design collected data through in-depth interviews, observations, surveys, and documentation at MA Yaspia Ngroto Gubug Grobogan. The subjects of this study were five respondents consisting of three grade X students, one grade X mathematics teacher, and one principal. The study results indicate that mathematics learning based on the unity of sciences has significant benefits, such as integrating various disciplines, making learning more relevant and interesting, and creating a dynamic and interactive learning environment. However, several major challenges are faced, including teacher competence, limited resources, less flexible curriculum, and student adaptation to new learning methods. To overcome these challenges, the study found several strategies that can be applied, namely intensive and ongoing training for teachers, provision of adequate resources, development of flexible curriculum, formation of learning communities between teachers of various disciplines, and implementation of teaching strategies that facilitate student transitions. For further research, it is recommended to expand the scope of the study by involving more schools and respondents from various regions. The use of a wider variety of research methods, such as quantitative surveys, classroom observations, and in-depth case studies, can also provide richer and more comprehensive data.
Primary Students’ Comprehension Errors in Translating Math Problems
Authors: Aurelia Davina , Ekawati Ratna , Arifin Slamet
Published: January 2025

Comprehension is the foundation of problem-solving; without proper understanding, students will struggle to solve problems correctly. This research aims to identify specific types of mathematical comprehension errors in primary school students based on indicators from Newman's theory. By using Newman's error analysis framework, the study gives a detailed, step-by-step look at how students lose comprehension. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method with three third-grade students as subjects, selected based on their level of mathematical ability (high, medium, low) determined through a diagnostic test. The results of the data analysis show that across the three student ability levels analyzed, the data revealed distinct patterns in the types of comprehension breakdowns encountered. High-performing students demonstrated minimal comprehension errors, successfully identifying key information. In contrast, mid-level students exhibited more significant issues linking the available information. The lowest-performing students showed the most fundamental misunderstandings, incorrectly identifying basic facts. These findings imply the need for a teaching approach that emphasizes contextual understanding and the development of mathematical literacy in comprehending story-based problems. Integrating evidence-based methods like problem-based learning, which have been shown to improve mathematical literacy in primary students, could help address the comprehension challenges observed in this study.

Authors: Kekovic Vladan , Vlahovic Zoran , Schicho Kurt , Stanimirovic Dragan , Soldatovic Ivan , Mikovic Nikola , Konstantinovic Vitomir , Sinobad Vladimir
Published: January 2025

Introduction/Objective. Dental implant placement in the posterior maxilla may
be often hard to achieve because of insufficient bone volume and the
presence of a highly pneumatized maxillary sinus. In these situations, sinus
floor augmentation frequently has been proposed as the treatment
possibility, conventionally performed utilizing xenograft materials. This
research aims to study whether fragmented fat tissue from the Bichat?s fat
pad mixed with bovine-derived bone yields better results than the use of
bovine-derived bone alone in maxillary sinus augmentation. The secondary aim
was to evaluate the influence of Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) on bone
regeneration in patients treated with fragmented fat tissue mixed with
bovine-derived bone. Methods. Six patients were included in the study, 12
maxillary sinus augmentation procedures were performed and patients were
randomly assigned into 3 groups. Six months after surgery a CBCT bone
density analysis was performed and Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) was
performed on 12 placed implants. Results. Bone density results yielded
notable differences in Hounsfield Units, with experimental groups (499.94 ?
88.43) resembling natural bone more when compared with the control group
(674.57 ? 217.12). RFA data shows that the results exhibit a degree of
comparability or moderately better stability in the experimental groups
(56.88 ? 6.03) compared to the control group (53 ? 20.12). Conclusions. The
given Hounsfield Units and RFA analysis serve as clear indicators of the
substantial potential of fragmented fat tissue and xenograft mixture in
maxillary sinus augmentation, by its complete integration and provision of
significant stability to the inserted implants. Xenograft mixed with
Bichat?s fat pad tissue may represent an important novel entity in the field
of bone regeneration.

Published: January 2025

OBJECTIVE

Subtypes of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) based on insulin sensitivity and secretion have been described. We addressed the hypothesis that GDM subtypes are differentially associated with newborn and child anthropometric and glycemic outcomes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Newborn and child (age 11–14 years) outcomes were examined in 7,970 and 4,160 mother-offspring dyads, respectively, who participated in the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (HAPO) study and HAPO Follow-Up Study. GDM was classified as insulin-deficient GDM (insulin secretion <25th percentile with preserved insulin sensitivity), insulin-resistant GDM (insulin sensitivity <25th percentile with preserved insulin secretion), or mixed-defect GDM (both <25th percentile). Regression models for newborn and child outcomes included adjustment for field center, maternal BMI, and other pregnancy covariates. Child models also included adjustment for child age, sex, and family history of diabetes.

RESULTS

Compared with mothers with normal glucose tolerance, all three GDM subtypes were associated with birth weight and sum of skinfolds >90th percentile. Insulin-resistant and mixed-defect GDM were associated with higher risk of cord C-peptide levels >90th percentile. Insulin-resistant GDM was associated with higher risk of neonatal hypoglycemia. Insulin-resistant GDM was associated with higher risk of neonatal hypoglycemia and childhood obesity (odds ratio [OR] 1.53, 95% CI 1.127–2.08). The risk of childhood impaired glucose tolerance was higher with insulin-resistant GDM (OR 2.21, 95% CI 1.50–3.25) and mixed-defect GDM (OR 3.01, 95% CI 1.47–6.19).

CONCLUSIONS

GDM subtypes are differentially associated with newborn and childhood outcomes. Better characterizing individuals with GDM could help identify at-risk offspring to offer targeted, preventative interventions early in life.

Published: January 2025

Background: Constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder and is often accompanied by alteration in the gut microbiota. Recently, several studies have disclosed its association with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in the general population. Despite the high prevalence of constipation, data on the clinical impact of constipation in patients with chronic kidney disease are limited. We aimed to explore the prevalence of constipation and its association with cardiovascular disease in chronic kidney disease using a nationally representative cohort of hemodialysis patients. Methods: This study used hemodialysis quality assessment and health insurance claims data from patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis in South Korea. Chronic constipation was defined using the total number of laxatives prescribed during the 1-year baseline period. The primary outcome was a composite of acute ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, myocardial infarction, or all-cause death. Secondary outcomes were the individual components of the primary outcome. Results: Among 35,230 patients on hemodialysis, 9,133 (25.9%) were identified as having constipation. During a median follow-up of 5.4 years, patients with constipation had a 15% higher incidence of the composite outcome, 16% higher incidence of ischemic stroke, and 14% higher all-cause mortality, after multivariate adjustment. Conclusion: Chronic constipation requiring laxatives was associated with a higher risk of the composite outcome of cardiovascular events or all-cause death in patients on hemodialysis. Further studies are needed to confirm whether constipation is an independent predictor or a possible causal factor of cardiovascular disease.

The Paradox of Humbleness, Arrogance and the Concept of Fluid Individuality
Authors: LT Rajeev
Published: January 2025

The subject of analysis for this essay is the leanness of the concept of pride and humility and the argument that each of these
extremes create imbalance and stifle identity. Humility involves a feeling of low self-worth in order to seek the approval of
others and leads to blurring of personal identity, whereas arrogance, results in paranoia, which denies the individual contact
and flexibility. Based on the flow and change (Pallas), on the one hand, and the Taoist concept of Laozi on the other hand, the
essay developed the notion of fluidity for being an individual. A fluid individual is neither rigidly defined by humbleness, nor
is having to deal with arrogance, but rather can balance between the two in certain context and/or role and at the same time
be genuine. This framework can provide a fair approach regarding the issue of autonomy and richness of the individual’s selffulfilment.

O objetivo do estudo foi identificar o grau de ambientalização curricular na formação do arquiteto e urbanista visando a responsabilidade socioambiental. O curso investigado está em Salto (SP). A pesquisa foi documental, qualitativa e a análise de conteúdo foi a metodologia de análise do grau de ambientalização curricular. Na análise documental do Projeto Pedagógico do Curso (PPC) e Planos de Ensino (PE), os resultados indicam que no PPC não há indícios explícitos de ambientalização; e nos PE, as disciplinas apresentam lacunas na inserção da temática socioambiental. Assim, as funções e práticas curriculares devem ser redefinidas, para restabelecer a articulação de competências e habilidades à formação de profissionais com responsabilidade socioambiental.

Artikeln presenterar en översikt av de fyra teorier, med vars hjälp man har försökt förklara läkarprofessionens framtida ställning. Dessa teorier har dock försummat att inkludera i analysen kvinnornas ökade andel och uppgifter. Artikeln presenterar amerikanska och brittiska mönster om kvinnliga läkares ställning i hälso- och sjukvården samt data över de finska kvinnliga läkarnas andel och roll i hälso- och sjukvården. De kvinnliga läkarna utgjorde 39% av den finska läkarstammen år 1987. De arbetade inom områden som präglades av hög social växelverkan med patienter (pediatri, psykiatri) eller av rutinbaserat arbete (anestesiologi). De kvinnliga läkarna var överrepresenterade i öppenvården och vid de kommunala hälsocentralerna, men underrepresenterade i undervisning, forskning och administration.
Messianic Sign in Wedding at Cana: Revealed God’s Glory and Leads Jesus' Disciples to Faith Narrative Reading of John 2,1-12
Authors: Halek Bere Paulus
Published: January 2025

The story of the miracle of the wine in wedding at Cana is one of the most significant narrative text in the New Testament. Jesus did his first sign at the beginning of his public ministry. This study of the account of the wedding at Cana in Jn 2,1-12 is influenced by two statements “he revealed his glory and his disciple believed in him (v.11). I will approach the text by analyzing the characterization of every character in the narrative: how the character works to contribute to the theological perspective of the Gospel? The literary structure of the periscope is analyzed, and the meaning of the sign is understood as a Messianic miracle that leads the disciples to a firm belief in Jesus as the Messiah. It is argued that the revelation of glory does not create faith directly but it is link with the faith that the secret is only reveled to those who believe. The miracle of the wine is then able to reveal a profound secret concerning the person of Jesus, his union with the Father. The faith of the disciple in this text is not only an initial faith but a total faith in Jesus.

Authors: Mamput Yulianus Gunawan
Published: January 2025

This article discusses the correlation between the local wisdom of the Manggarai community expressed in the proverb "uwa haeng wulang langkas haeng ntala" and the ethical concepts of Imam Al-Ghazali in the context of character education. "Uwa haeng wulang langkas haeng ntala," an ancient proverb of the Manggarai people, teaches the spirit of reaching for aspirations as high as the sky. Meanwhile, Al-Ghazali's ethics emphasizes character formation through moral values and justice, with a focus on the noble goal of eternal happiness in the afterlife. This article examines how these two thoughts can be integrated to strengthen character education in self-development. The practical implications of this connectivity discuss the challenges and benefits of character education, as well as how local values can complement universal ethical concepts.

Published: January 2025

The present study aims to identify an effective way of promoting employee engagement through interfaith dialogue. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, and the sample consisted of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia employees. As a Catholic institution, Atma Jaya is committed to the values of the Christian faith and Pancasila (Tuhan dan Tanah Air), which reflect Indonesia's diverse cultural and religious landscape. The university's founders envisioned an academic community embodying Christian faith, excellence, professionalism, and care (Kristiani, Unggul, Profesional, Peduli-KUPP). However, building these values in every community member has proven to be a challenge, as evidenced by the low level of employee engagement.Employee engagement is an essential factor in promoting individual well-being and organizational success. It refers to the positive, fulfilling, and meaningful involvement in work activities characterized by dedication, enthusiasm, and absorption. Work plays a critical role in societal development, as it contributes to advancing various fields and providing goods and services. In this regard, Atma Jaya can leverage dialogical approaches to enhance the quality of social life in society. The university has adopted a strategy for promoting dialogue among individuals from diverse ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds, known as "Refleksi Karya." This approach involves seven steps of dialogue of action, emphasizing the view that work is a manifestation of faith in God.Faith is a strong belief in the doctrines or teachings of a particular religion. A pluralistic society refers to the practice of religious or spiritual beliefs within a community characterized by diversity in religious, cultural, and philosophical perspectives. Promoting open and constructive communication between religious groups fosters understanding, reduces misconceptions, and promotes cooperation among people with diverse beliefs. The ultimate objective is to achieve social harmony, where individuals of different faiths can coexist peacefully, collaborate for the common good, and contribute positively to the community's and society's overall well-being. Atma Jaya's "Refleksi Karya" approach invites individuals to reflect on their responsibilities through seven steps of dialogue of action, including looping, awareness building, sharing, teaching, reflecting, confirming, and doing.
