Study on Legislative Trends and Prospects of the Online Platform Act
Authors: Choung Wan ,   The Institute of Legal Studies, Kyunghee University
Published: July 2024

Today, as online platform transactions become active, there is an urgent need for new legislation, tentatively known as the Online Platform Act, to regulate illegal activities of business operators that undermine fairness on online platforms and provide effective protection for consumers. This is because, even though traditional online commerce has become widespread as an online platform transaction, the E-Commerce Act, which was enacted and implemented 20 years ago, is still applied.
In enacting the Online Platform Competition Promotion Act, the Fair Trade Commission is trying to introduce a pre-designation system that intensively regulates large operators through pre-designation of ‘dominant online platform operators’, which is receiving backlash from the platform industry. In other words, the government is trying to ban unfair practices such as preferential treatment and multi-homing restrictions by dominant operators by introducing this pre-designation system in the new Online Platform Act.
The Fair Trade Commission’s legislative direction to pre-designate platform operators such as Google and Naver as dominant operators in order to regulate large platform operators has been disclosed, but the specific details of the bill have not yet been disclosed. In general, the key contents will be the regulation of unfair practices by platform operators, consumer protection, and designation of platform dominant operators. Through this legislation on the Online Platform Act, we will quickly respond to illegal acts in the platform market, thereby increasing the preventive effect.
In addition, this will alleviate the economic burden on small business owners and consumers in the platform market, while revitalizing the market entry and activities of platform operators such as startups, which will lead to innovation and strengthening of competitiveness in the platform industry. In any case, although the industry is protesting against the pre-designation of the platform dominant operator, we hope that a more thorough review will be conducted and the legislation will be completed by reflecting the opinions of the platform industry as much as possible.
Az erdőállományok talajvíz utánpótlódásra gyakorolt hatásának vizsgálata kecskemét-ménteleki mintaterületen

Az Alföldet, azon belül is különösen a Homokhátságot érintő talajvízszint süllyedés, súlyos ökológiai és gazdasági következményekkel is járó problémakör. A jelenség hátterében álló lehetséges okokkal kapcsolatban több évtizede zajlik kutatómunka, ugyanakkor ezek relatív súlyának meghatározása a mai napig tudományos vita tárgyát képezi.

Több szerző is kiemeli az erdőtelepítések talajvízszint csökkentő hatásának fontosságát. Ez a hatás két módon, a vegetáció vízfelvétele, illetve a csapadékból történő utánpótlódás csökkentése (intercepció, talajnedvesség felvétel) által jelentkezhet. Ezen mechanizmusok működését vizsgáltuk meg egy akác (Robinia pseudoacacia) és egy fekete fenyő (Pinus nigra) állomány esetében a Homokhátságon, Kecskemét-Ménteleken kialakított mintaterületünkön, 90, 150 és 200 cm-es mélységben, nagy időbeli felbontással mért talajnedvesség, illetve talajvíz adatokra alapozva.

Az adatok alapján feltételezhető, hogy a talajvízből nem történik közvetlen, vagy közvetett vízfelvétel, aminek oka vélhetően a gyökérzóna és a talajvíz közti igen jelentős horizontális távolság. A talajnedvesség esetében a sekélyebb rétegekben egyértelműen jelentkezik az erdőállományok szezonális szárító hatása. Ugyanakkor a mélyebb rétegek talajnedvesség adatai alapján kijelenthető, hogy a csapadékból történő talajvíz visszatöltődésre leginkább az akác állomány alatt van elméleti lehetőség. A látszólagos ellentmondás feltételezhetően a gyökérzet által kialakított makropórusok hatásával magyarázható. Ezt támasztja alá az akác és fekete fenyő állományok közti igen jelentős eltérés is.

Következtetésünk, hogy az erdőállományok lokálisan jelentősen eltérő hatást gyakorolhatnak a talajvízszintre. Ezért a lezajló folyamatok hátterét, általános jellegű megállapítások helyett, az adott hidrológiai rendszer több elemét vizsgáló monitoring adataira alapozva lehetséges csak felderíteni.
A vérvizelés okai gyermekkorban – a korszerű diagnosztika a kivizsgálás tükrében
Authors: Horváth Orsolya , Szabó Attila József , Várkonyi Ildikó , Reusz György
Published: July 2024

A vérvizelés hátterében a betegségek széles spektruma állhat gyermekkorban, az
egyszerű és gyorsan gyógyuló húgyúti fertőzésektől a gyorsan progrediáló súlyos
glomerulonephritisig, mely a vesefunkció gyors romlásához vezet. A vérvizelés
kivizsgálása során ezért elsődleges célunk az orvosi szempontból jelentős esetek
elkülönítése. A vérvizeléshez társuló fehérjevizelés, a magas vérnyomás vagy a
beszűkült vesefunkció progresszív vesebetegségre hívja fel a figyelmet.
Amennyiben a vérvizelés makroszkópos, vagy az egyéb klinikai tünetek
jellegzetesek, a differenciáldiagnózis gyakran könnyű és egyértelmű.
Komplikáltabb esetekben azonban további noninvazív vizsgálómódszerek lehetnek
szükségesek, mint az ultrahangvizsgálat, a vörösvértestek morfológiai
vizsgálata, kalciumürítés, egyéb vizeletkémiai paraméterek, illetve a
vesefunkció és a fehérjevizelés mértékének meghatározása. A családi anamnézis
részletes felvétele a vérvizelés örökletes okainak elkülönítésében segít.
Tünetmentes vérvizelés esetén központokként változhat a vesebiopszia
elvégzésének indikációja. A glomerularis betegségek felismerésének arányát
jelentősen befolyásolja, hogy mely kritériumok teljesülése esetén végzünk
vesebiopsziát. Összefoglaló közleményünkben a vérvizelés diagnosztikájának
kihívásait mutatjuk be. Részletezzük a vérvizelés definícióját, a glomerularis
és postglomerularis vérvizelés elkülönítésének lépéseit, áttekintjük a
hátterükben álló leggyakoribb betegségeket, melyek vagy gyakoriságuk, vagy gyors
lefolyásuk és rossz prognózisuk miatt kihívást jelentenek mindennapi
gyermeknefrológiai orvosi gyakorlatunk során. Orv Hetil. 2024; 165(28):

Transforming discarded textiles into more valuable products through upcycling offers a multi-pronged approach to alleviating textile industry-related pollution. In this study, we employed a facile approach to upcycling waste textile fabrics via MXene functionalization using a passive dip-coating process. The method is straightforward and versatile, producing a continuous coating on a variety of natural and synthetic textile substrates such as cotton, hemp, and nylon. Even with a minimal amount of MXene, the coated fabrics displayed sufficient conductivity, unlocking their potential for a multitude of applications including Joule heating, strain sensing, and infrared (IR) camouflage. The simplicity of this method provides an alternative utilization for fabric off-cuts and end-of-life garments in the production of multifunctional textiles for smart wearable clothing, potentially mitigating the expected scarcity of textile resources in the forthcoming decades.

This study employed a simple and versatile approach of upcycling waste textile fabrics via MXene functionalization through a passive dip coating process, meeting the demands for materials that are both sustainable and multi-functional.
Progression Over Time of Nutritional Content and Antioxidant Activity of Grains Fermented with the Medicinal Mushrooms Pleurotus ostreatus and Ganoderma sessile (Agaricomycetes)
Authors: Mazzola Antonella , Kuhar Francisco , Greslebin Alina G.
Published: July 2024

Solid-state fermentation of cereals with edible fungi is a promising strategy for producing functional flours. Hypothetically, the nutritional and functional properties of these flours could be modulated by manipulating substrate composition, fungal species, and incubation conditions. This article reports the variation over time in nutritional, polyphenol, and triterpene contents, as well as the antioxidant activity of rice and wheat fermented with Ganoderma sessile and Pleurotus ostreatus. Solid-state fermentation significantly improved the antioxidant power of the substrates which seemed to be highly correlated with the increase of the phenolic compounds. This increase peaked in the second to third week and decreased after this point. Triterpene content also increased, especially in substrates fermented with G. sessile. Substrates fermented with G. sessile showed higher values than those fermented with P. ostreatus in all compounds, which could be a result of a higher growth rate. Fermented wheat showed higher values than fermented rice in all measured compounds except reducing sugars which can be related to a slower progress in the fermentation due to the more complex structure of the wheat grain. Our results reinforce the importance of substrate and strain selection for product modulation to meet the industry's growing needs.

Published: July 2024

Highly efficient, low-cost and stable electrocatalysts are crucial in electrocatalytic water splitting. Herein, a comparative study of stainless steel (SS), nickel/stainless steel (Ni/SS) and nickel boride/stainless steel (Ni-B/SS) electrodes for hydrogen production was carried out under a prototype electrolyzer system. Ni/SS and Ni-B/SS were synthesized using a simple and low-cost chemical method on an SS substrate. Compared with the SS and Ni/SS electrodes, the Ni-B/SS electrode demonstrated superior electrochemical activity towards the hydrogen evolution reaction with a low overpotential of 75 mV at a current density of 10 mA/cm2 and a Tafel slope of 82 mV/decade in a 1 M potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte. The as-fabricated Ni-B/SS electrode showed a cauliflower-like morphology and exhibited an excellent hydrogen production rate of 4.39 ml/min on a 2 × 2 cm electrode at a constant potential of 2.2 V in a prototype electrochemical hydrogen production set-up. The stability of the Ni-B/SS (6 × 6 cm) electrode was also checked on a large-scale prototype electrolyzer set-up for 50 h at a constant potential.

Published: July 2024

Esse estudo se propõe a identificar o envolvimento dos contadores que atuam no setor público em decisões gerenciais e no processo de accountability, analisando a relação dos dois tipos de envolvimento com o conflito de papéis, a satisfação e o prestígio profissional. Para isso, o estudo adota uma abordagem quantitativa, com delineamento transversal que utiliza a técnica de investigação survey. O questionário foi aplicado numa amostra com 215 contadores públicos brasileiros. O estudo revela que contadores públicos têm mais participação em atividades relacionadas a decisões operacionais e pouca participação em decisões estratégicas, têm baixo envolvimento com atividades relacionadas às decisões gerenciais e ao accountability financeiro e de performance. Além disso, o estudo mostra uma relação significativa entre o envolvimento e conflito de papéis e o prestígio profissional. Assim, mesmo diante do ambiente de mudança dos contadores e da contabilidade pública, os respondentes do estudo ainda estão relativamente pouco envolvidos nesse processo e, quanto mais envolvidos em seus papéis, mais sujeitos esses profissionais estão a conflitos no exercício de suas funções, mas a percepção de prestígio aumenta.

Managing Normal Tension Glaucoma with Dietary Folate
Authors: George Ayoub
Published: July 2024

Normal-Tension Glaucoma (NTG) is the most prevalent form of glaucoma among individuals in Asian countries. While lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) remains the standard of care, this approach is insufficient for most NTG patients. Recent evidence documents the role of ischemia and oxidative stress as critical factors affecting the optic nerve in NTG. Consequently, addressing these factors has been recommended as a neuroprotective strategy. While conventional treatment strategies primarily target the reduction of IOP, this yields limited efficacy and eventual blindness in many NTG cases. Recent studies document another crucial parameter: Retinal Venous Pressure (RVP). Elevated RVP impedes retinal perfusion, resulting in oxidative stress and localized ischemia, and exacerbating optic nerve damage in NTG. Elevated RVP also appears to be a contributing factor in small vessel ischemia associated with diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. The underlying cause of elevated RVP is small vessel endotheliopathy, which may result from alterations in methylation and B-vitamin metabolism, leading to changed microcirculation. This metabolic disruption can arise from dietary inadequacies, malabsorption, or genetic polymorphisms affecting the methylation pathways. Restoring plasma levels of folate and B-12 can be achieved through supplementation with natural forms of these vitamins, specifically L-methylfolate, and methylcobalamin. Unlike oxidized folate (folic acid), which must be enzymatically converted to methylfolate to penetrate the blood-retinal barrier, L-methylfolate can be directly utilized. Excess unmetabolized folic acid can impede methyl folate absorption into the retina, underscoring the necessity of using methyl folate for effective supplementation. We propose integrating RVP screening into NTG risk assessments and consider a targeted vitamin supplement, such as Ocufolin®, as a viable adjunct approach to manage elevated RVP and potentially mitigate NTG progression.

Authors: Pineda Ricardo , Sembrat John , Kessler Carter , Cardenes Nayra , Königshoff Melanie
Published: July 2024

Human Precision-Cut Lung Slices (hPCLS) are uniform tissue slices generated from human lungs. These slices contain all resident lung cells and their interactions, including alveolar macrophages and dendritic cells, present in the tissue at the time of slicing, representing the natural complexity of the lung’s 3-dimensional architecture and organ function physiology. hPCLS has become one of the most relevantex vivoorganotypic models for studying the pathophysiology of human lungs. Thanks to specialized tissue slicers, a single lung can provide hundreds of slices for both control and experimental conditions. Additionally, hPCLS can be kept in culture for up to 4 weeks, making possible to mimic the onset and progression of lung diseases. hPCLS has proven valuable in multiple applications such as RNA and protein analysis, biochemistry, metabolism, toxicology, and chronic and acute lung diseases. They have also been used for highly specialized downstream applications such as transcriptomics, proteomics and high-resolution live microscopy. The following protocol is a guide on how to generate PCLS from human lungs.

Authors: Hendarsih Heni , Nurhidayah Nunung
Published: July 2024

The aim of this research is to determine the level of reading interest of class II students after implementing learning using the Problem Based Learning model in Indonesian language subjects at SDN 3 Gunungsari. The background of this research is based on the low reading interest of class II students in Indonesian language subjects with capital letters. In reality, at school, it is still difficult for students to be invited to read, let alone understand the content of the reading. The method that the author uses in this research is the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method. The results of the research can be seen from the level of students' interest in reading through the Problem Based Learning learning model which has increased further. This can be seen through the learning practices that have been carried out. In cycle I, the results of the learning test using the Problem Based Learning model obtained the highest result of 100 and the lowest result of 60 with an average of 84. There were 3 students with scores below the KKM, there were 3 students who managed to get the standard KKM score, then the students who 5 people managed to get a score above the KKM. Meanwhile, in cycle II, the results of student knowledge in learning using PBL were with the highest score of 100 and the lowest score of 60 with an average of 92.7%, thus experiencing an increase of 23.6%. Even though there was 1 student who still got a score below the KKM. There were 8 students who got a score of 100, 2 students who got a score of 80, 1 student who got a score of 60

Fun learning activities about nutritious food as an effort to introduce stunting at SDN Ligarmanah
Authors: Rachman Shanti Anggraeni , Qodriyyah Hasna Fatharani
Published: July 2024

Stunting has become a particular focus of national health issues. Stunting is when a child is less tall than other children his age, which also affects brain development and metabolic disorders in children. Stunting is caused by a lack of nutritious food intake in children over a long period. This service activity tries to provide stunting education related to healthy food to students at SDN Ligarmanah with fun learning activities. SDN Ligarmanah is one of the schools that has not received sufficient education about stunting, so it is the right target for getting an education. The method used is the compression method, which actively involves students in the learning process, consisting of students from classes 3A, 3B, 4A, and 4B, who were taken using the cluster random sampling technique. This service provides understanding and knowledge to Ligarmanah Elementary School students regarding nutritious food to prevent increased stunting, and the students can display an understanding response to stunting material.
Relationship as seen through letter-writing style in Van Gogh’s letters to Gauguin

Published: July 2024

RÉSUMÉ.  Van Gogh a tenté de former une communauté avec Gauguin. Cet article parle de leur relation dans des lettres de VG. Le choix des mots, le style de langue, la structure des lettres et les fonctions syntaxiques utilisées dans les phrases de ses lettres ont été extraits des six lettres de VG et analysés à l'aide d'une méthode qualitative, l'approche de l’ACD et de la théorie des fonctions syntaxiques françaises de Le Querler. L’amitié respectueuse est construite par la politesse mais pas complètement formelle. Cette relation asymétrique se reflète à travers la diction contrastée, le choix des pronoms et des salutations, l'utilisation d'un langage implicite et aussi par l'expansion de la structure de la phrase pour être plus poli. Grâce au style d'écriture de lettres de VG, leur relation évolue d'une transaction à quelque chose de plus personnel. Les différences d'ancienneté et de réputation sont souvent devenues un facteur influençant les relations et la communication. Mots-clés : analyse critique du discours, Gauguin, style de langage, fonction syntaxique, van GoghABSTRACT.  Van Gogh, the Dutch post-impressionist painter, tried to form a community with Gaugin, the French post-impressionist painter, printmaker and sculptor. This article studied VG’s relationship with Gauguin in letters written by VG. The words choice, language style, letter structure, and syntactic functions used in the sentences of his letters were extracted from VG’s six surviving letters and analyzed using a qualitative method, CDA approach and Le Querler’s French syntactic functions theory. We discover that VG tried to build a respectful friendship through politeness but not completely in a formal language style. This asymmetrical relationship reflects through the contrasting diction, choice of pronouns and greetings, the use of implicit language and also by expansion in the sentence structure to be more polite. Through VG’s letter-writing style, their relationship evolves from being transactional into something more personal. Seniority and reputational differences often became a factor influencing relationships and communication.Keywords: critical discourse analysis, Gauguin, language style, syntactic function, van Gogh

Authors: Lazuardi Bagus Pusaka
Published: July 2024

Music creation plays a role in the art world that has existed in society for generations against human civilization and is familiar in everyday life. Various forms of expression have an idea from the composer's background and are poured into music, thus creating satisfaction for the creator. Music continues to develop in society, experiencing gradations and reductions in the creative process of its creators. This research uses qualitative research methods because the focus of this creation is how to find the implementation of minimalist music by knowing the elements of music, including its form and structure. Qualitative research intends to understand the phenomenon of what is experienced by the research subject, such as behavior, perception, motivation, action, and others holistically. The conceptual framework is a method used to explain the relationship or relationship between the variables to be studied; in this case, minimalism music as a variable will then be associated with the creation of a musical composition, so it is hoped that the conceptual framework can describe the ideas that will be arranged and designed. The process of making this composition is carried out by researching using several stages, starting with analyzing literature studies. Based on the author's results in creating a composition design, the conceptual framework can be used as a basis for research.
Analysis the structural complexity of “Time” in Hans Zimmer’s score for ”Inception”
Authors: Ikhsan Sandi Putra , Midyanti Hafizhah Insani
Published: July 2024

This study explores the intricate structure of "Time", a piece in Hans Zimmer's. The study aims to analyze the complex layers of "Time" and its influence on the overall impression of the picture. The primary study question investigates how the structural components of the composition, such as its recurring motifs, slow progression, and emotional climaxes, correspond to and amplify the movie's examination of time and reality. The process entails a qualitative analysis utilizing a literature review and an observational assessment of the film's audio-visual synchronization. By analyzing scholarly publications and conducting a literature study, the research reveals how Zimmer's minimalist approach and his inventive utilization of electronic sounds produce a distinctive auditory encounter that reflects the film's themes. Examining pivotal scenes that prominently display the concept of "Time" allows us to understand the intentional decisions made in the composition and execution of the music. The research findings indicate that the intricate composition of "Time" greatly amplifies the viewer's sense of being fully engaged in the film. The changing dynamics and recurring patterns of the piece not only mirror the emotional progress of the characters but also act as a guiding force for the viewer, helping them navigate through the complex storyline of the film. The emotional trajectory depicted in "Time"—evolving from a state of tension and confusion to one of resolution and hope—mirrors the thematic trajectory of the film, emphasizing its crucial function as an integral element in the narrative process. This analysis illustrates that the popularity of "Inception" is not exclusively attributed to its visual and narrative originality but is equally ascribed to its refined utilization of music. "Time" demonstrates how film music may significantly impact the audience's emotional and intellectual involvement, solidifying its position as a significant piece in modern cinema.

Introduction : Health education about pregnancy care is important to increase the knowledge of pregnant women so that it will encourage positive attitudes and behavior towards the health of the mother and fetus. Audiovisual media and leaflets are often used to convey health information. Objective : This research aims to determine the differences in the effectiveness of the two media in increasing knowledge, attitudes and practices of pregnancy services for pregnant women at the Tambakromo Community Health Center. Method : This research uses an experimental design with a two group pretest posttest design. The research sample was 76 pregnant women at the Tambakromo Community Health Center who were divided into two groups randomly. The first group was given health education using audiovisual media, and the second group was given leaflet media. Data were analyzed using the Independent Sample T-test and Mann Whitney with p0.05. Result : Respondents' knowledge, attitudes and pregnancy care practices increased after being given health education. Audiovisual media is more effective than leaflet media in increasing knowledge (p-value = 0.004), practice (p-value = 0.007), and attitudes (p-value = 0.010) of pregnant women regarding pregnancy care. Conclusion : Increased knowledge, attitudes and practices show that both media are effective in increasing pregnant women's awareness about the importance of pregnancy checks. However, audiovisual media has proven to be more effective because it is multisensory, making it more interesting and easier to understand. Health education using audiovisual media is more effective than leaflet media in increasing knowledge, attitudes and practices of pregnancy care among pregnant women at the Tambakromo Community Health Center.

Published: July 2024

Background: The most common reason for hospitalisation for diabetic people is diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). For diabetic foot ulcers, a variety of scoring systems and classifications are available with the goal of comparing treatment options and long-term results. Aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the diabetic ulcer severity score, a wound-based clinical scoring system for diabetic foot ulcers, in predicting clinical outcomes. Materials and method: A prospective study was conducted on 65 diabetic ulcer patients. DUSS was applied during the admission. The DUSS consists of four clinical variables: 1) pedal pulses, 2) bone probing, 3) ulcer site, and 4) ulcer number. These wounds were scored as 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. All patients received standard care in accordance with a protocol. The outcome of treatment was recorded. Results: In this prospective study of 65 patients with diabetic foot ulcers, most common age group affected was between 51-70 years. Mean duration of diabetes was 8.13±4.28 years. Most commonly ulcers were of DUSS score 1. Of the 65 patients, 36 (55.38%) got conservative care, including wound debridement, 14 (21.54%) underwent skin grafting, and 15 (23.08%) underwent amputation. DFU with DUSS score 0 healed by 2 weeks, score 3 and 4 healed mostly only after surgical intervention. Comparison of amputation based on DUSS score showed statistical significance. The mean healing time was found to be 108.8±43.7 days. Conclusion: This study conclude that DUSS system is a wound based diagnostic procedure to predict healing, amputation or need for surgery by combining the four sign in a safe manner. Keywords: amputation; diabetes mellitus; duss scoring system; foot ulcer

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies found in women across the world requiring surgery. These surgeries lead to immense postoperative pain, which is traditionally managed with opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The study aimed to compare the efficacy of opioids with ultrasound guided (USG) PECs block in managing the postoperative pain among patients who undergo modified radical mastectomy. Methods and results: Fifty patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy who meet the inclusion criteria are involved in the study, the patients will be then allocated into two groups by computer generated table and Group A will receive USG guided PECs block with 20ml 0.5% Ropivacaine before general anaesthesia and Group B will receive only general anaesthesia. Primary outcome is measured in terms of time for first rescue analgesic in postoperative period and secondary outcome with respect to intraoperative haemodynamic changes i.e., PONV, total opioid consumption. Conclusion: PECs block definitely helped to reduce the post-operative opioid consumption thereby reducing the side effects of opioids.
