Intra-striatum lodoxamide produced conditioning place preference in rats via GPR35 independent mechanisms
Authors: Díaz-Barba Alejandro , Guerrero-Alba Raquel , Quintanar J. Luis , Marichal Cancino Bruno Antonio
Published: March 2023

The function of the protein-coupled receptor 35 (GPR35) in the central nervous system (CNS) remains largely unknown. Due to its expression in the ventral striatum, a key area in the brain reward system, the function of GPR35 in reinforcing actions is questioning. To analyze if activation of GPR35 in the ventral striatum is related to reinforcing actions, male Wistar rats (250-300 g) received stereotaxic surgery from placing guide cannulae in the ventral striatum. Different doses of lodoxamide (a full rat-GPR35 agonist) or vehicle (DMSO 10%) were injected (intra-ventral-striatum) in the absence and during the pretreatment with ML-194 (a selective GPR35 antagonist). Lodoxamide (100 pmol) induced a significant increment in preference for the drug-conditioning chamber (p < 0.05), but not vehicle or ML-194 per se (p > 0.05). On the other hand, the pretreatment with ML-194 did not prevent lodoxamide's reinforcing effects. Thus, the reinforcing actions of lodoxamide (intra-ventral-striatum) involve mechanisms likely independent of GPR35.

Khám phá tâm lý của bệnh nhân mắc bệnh hiểm nghèo ở Việt Nam
Authors: Uyen Do Thi Hong , Hien Nguyen Thi Thu
Published: March 2023

Nghiên cứu này nhằm khám phá hiện tượng này bằng cách xem xét mức độ nghiêm trọng của bệnh tật hoặc chấn thương của bệnh nhân và đánh giá chủ quan về tình hình tài chính của bệnh nhân và gia đình sau khi trả phí điều trị ảnh hưởng đến quyết định cuối cùng về quá trình điều trị. Bài nghiên cứu sử dụng Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) dựa trên việc khảo sát 1042 bệnh nhân Việt Nam. Kết quả là bệnh nhân mắc bệnh hoặc thương tật càng nặng thì họ càng có xu hướng bỏ điều trị nếu họ cho rằng việc trả phí điều trị ảnh hưởng nặng nề đến tình hình tài chính của gia đình họ. Đặc biệt, cứ 4 bệnh nhân nặng nhất thì chỉ có 1 người quyết định tiếp tục điều trị mặc dù việc này sẽ đẩy bản thân và gia đình vào cảnh túng quẫn. Dựa trên các kết quả nghiên cứu, một số khuyến nghị cho các nhà hoạch định chính sách thực hiện và điều chỉnh chính sách của họ (ví dụ: bảo hiểm y tế) để giảm thiểu khả năng bệnh nhân đưa ra quyết định “gần như tự sát” và cải thiện bình đẳng xã hội trong hệ thống chăm sóc sức khỏe.

The Geopolitics of The Global Energy Transition and its Implications on The Arab Gulf Region: A Review
Authors: Shehab Elmekdad
Published: March 2023

The confluence of power transitions in the international system and energy transitions in the global market presents a complex and multifaceted landscape for world developments and policies, particularly for the energy-dependent countries of the Arab Gulf states. To understand this reciprocal effect, this paper provides a review of the existing academic literature on the geopolitical implications of the global energy transition towards low-carbon renewable energy sources, both globally and in the Arab Gulf states. The paper concludes that despite the growing interest from scholars, particularly in recent years, and the multitude of investigations undertaken to examine the potential implications of climate change and renewable energy on various regions worldwide, a significant challenge has emerged in the form of inconsistencies and disagreements among these studies. This can be attributed to the over-generalization of research findings, which often neglects to define the temporal and spatial scope of influence, as well as failing to identify both the source and the affected party of the effect. These four factors are crucial in determining the nature of the geopolitical impact of the global energy transition. Therefore, we believe that there is a serious necessity to synthesize the scattered parts presented by these studies into multicoherent frameworks that clearly define these four points.
Differential expression of SH3BGRL2 in cancer of the head and neck: oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2023

Head and neck cancers are an emerging public health problem and most are now thought to be caused by high-risk human papillomavirus infection (1-3). We mined public microarray datasets (4, 5) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding SH3 domain-binding glutamate-rich protein-like 2, SH3BGRL2, when comparing OSCC tumor tissue to the tissue of origin. SH3BGRL2 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the head and neck as compared to normal tissues from the head and neck. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of SH3BGRL2 in head and neck tumors was correlated with overall survival in patients with head and neck cancer. SH3BGRL2 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human OSCC.
Implementation of Inclusive Education in Ghanaian Colleges of Education: Factors that Influence the Tutors' Perception

Published: March 2023

The study aimed to explore the perception of tutors of colleges of Education (CoE) towards the implementation of inclusive education in the Ashanti Region of Ghana as it exists at the time of the study and to examine whether their demographic profile like Gender, Age, Professional level, and working experience influenced their perceptions. The research made use of a quantitative method design. The study used 88 college tutors from a population of 133 College tutors in three colleges of education in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. A convenient sampling technique aided the researchers in selecting the CoE, while a simple random sampling technique was used to select the study participants. A self-designed semi-structured questionnaire was used as a primary data collection instrument. The data were subjected to frequency counts involving a simple percentage technique using themes and comments from the questionnaire and Multiple Regression. The respondents believed that implementing inclusive education at the CoE would bring many benefits, such as improving the social and academic skills of students with disabilities. However, respondents feared that inclusive education at the CoE would not benefit them as well as students with disabilities as a result of lack of funding and resources, limited classroom space and instructional materials, and the fact that it will increase the workload of the tutors. Again, the study revealed that except for tutors' working experience, which has a significant contribution to influencing their perceptions towards the inclusion of students with disabilities at the CoE, factors like gender, age, and professional levels are not good moderating tools to predict college tutors' perceptions on the inclusion of students with disabilities in CoE. Recommendations from the study involved Affiliate Universities liaising with the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) to organise workshops and seminars for the regular tutors at the colleges to equip them with the necessary skills required to engage students with disabilities in the regular CoE.

Entangled Neural Networks from Multi-fold Universes to Biology
Authors: Maes Stephane
Published: March 2023

In a multi-fold universe, gravity emerges from Entanglement through the multi-fold mechanisms. As a result, gravity-like effects appear in between entangled particles, that they be real or virtual. Long range, massless gravity results from entanglement of massless virtual particles. Entanglement of massive virtual particles leads to massive gravity contributions at very smalls scales. Multi-folds mechanisms also result into a spacetime that is discrete, with a random walk fractal structure and non-commutative geometry that is Lorentz invariant and where spacetime nodes and particles can be modeled with microscopic black holes. All these recover General relativity at large scales, and semi-classical model remain valid till smaller scale than usually expected. Gravity can therefore be added to the Standard Model. This can contribute to resolving several open issues with the Standard Model without new Physics other than gravity. These considerations hints at a even stronger relationship between gravity and the Standard Model.Recently a controversial series of papers ended up proposing the possibility that the universe be a neural network. It is the result of observing that with an irreversible thermodynamics model of the learning process of the neural network (NN), it might appear possible to model quantum and classical physics, to observe the emergence of a General Relativistic spacetime with gravity, and plausibly to construct a generalized holographic principle beyond the AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture. The approach has been received with some skepticism.In this paper, we revisit the notion of NN in relationship to multi-fold universes, and illustrate how the multi-fold mechanism can be implemented with grafted NN. Relying on progress in biology and medicine, we argue that not only just NN can emulate NN universe, but also that it can provide new tools for AI, and new approaches to NNs, shallow or deep. It validates our multi-fold models and offer models for biological neurological models.
Multispecies, More-Than-Human, Nonhuman, Other-Than-Human
Authors: Price Catherine , Chao Sophie
Published: March 2023

Life on Earth is sustained by interconnected more-than-human entanglements. In the era of the Anthropocene, many of these webs are unravelling due to climate change, biodiversity loss, toxicity and pollution, natural resource extraction, and water and soil depletion. In order to help address these challenges, The Anthropocene and More-Than-Human Writing Workshop Series, funded by the British Academy, brought together early career researchers from different disciplines to share ideas and knowledges. As part of The Anthropocene and More-Than-Human World Writing Workshop Series, Sophie Chao, presented her collaborative research project, The Promise of Multispecies Justice. Following this presentation, Catherine Price and Sophie Chao took the opportunity to discuss the terms multispecies, non-human, and more-than-human, amongst others. These terms are increasingly appearing in interdisciplinary scholarship in the space of multispecies studies, posthumanism, the environmental humanities and others. The epistemological assumptions and ethical stakes involved in using these terms are also considered. The conversation illustrates that in trying to define terms such as multispecies or the more-than-human, complexities are not explained away. Instead, these terms reveal how incredibly – and generatively – messy beyond-human worlds really are. The terms discussed are also fundamental to understanding and addressing the Anthropocene as an epoch of planetary unmaking.

Authors: Tamri Tamri , Erwandi Rudi
Published: March 2023

This study aims to examine the relationship between spiritual leadership, autonomy, and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (OCB). OCB is divided into two types, including altruism, organizational citizenship behaviors toward an individual (i.e., behaviors that are directly helpful to a specific individual and indirectly contribute to the organization) and conscientiousness, organizational citizenship behaviors toward an organization or a team (i.e., behaviors that directly contribute to the organization). A quantitative survey was performed on a sample of public services (N = 282) from Lubuklinggau City to study the influence of spiritual leadership on OCB, especially altruism and conscientiousness. The data analyzed by using PLS (Partial Least Square) program results indicate that spiritual leadership strongly predicted autonomy mediated spiritual leadership's effect on both altruism and conscientiousness.

Published: March 2023

This study aims to describe the effect of giving goat urine POC and spacing on the growth response and yield of the luffa plant (Luffa acutangula). The method used was factorial RAK on two treatment factors (planting distance and giving POC goat urine) with three replications. Parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, number of flowers, number of fruit and fresh fruit weight. The results showed that setting spacing significantly affected all parameters used, with the best spacing being: J2 = 40x50 cm. Administration of goat urine POC did not significantly affect the parameter of fresh fruit weight (ounces), but the best level of giving goat urine POC was U4 = 60 ml/L. As for the interaction between plant spacing and administration of goat urine POC, it has no significant effect on one parameter, namely fresh fruit weight. In conclusion, setting spacing is the most effective way to increase production and profits for gambas farmers.

Ada banyak sumber energi yang digunakan sebagai sumber tenaga listrik, salah satunya yaitu tenaga angin. Sumber data yang diambil dari dataset BMKG di Kabupaten Aceh Besar dari Januari 2018 sampai Desember 2021. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memprediksi kecepatan angin sebagai sumber energi alternatif di Provinsi Aceh menggunakan regresi ANN. Pengolahan data dilakukan dengan testing epoch dari nilai Rs dan MSE, lalu memprediksi kecepatan angin dalam format excel dan diformulasikan dengan rumus untuk menghitung daya yang dihasilkan sebagai output energi angin untuk menggerakan turbin. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan dalam satu tahun, rata-rata angin berhembus sebesar 3.911602 m/s dan hasil daya listrik menunjukkan angka tertinggi terjadi dihari ke 190 dengan total maksimal 853.3333 watt. Kecepatan angin berpengaruh terhadap sumber energi alternatif. Di Provinsi Aceh kurang memiliki potensi bila dikembangkan menjadi daerah Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Angin, oleh karena itu Provinsi Aceh dapat memanfaatkan energi lain sebagai sumber energi listrik alternatif.

Teknologi wi-fi menjadi bagian dalam kehidupan sehari-hari baik itu di tempat kerja, rumah, stadion, atau bahkan di mobil, orang mengandalkan teknologi nirkabel untuk mendapatkan informasi, hiburan untuk berkomunikasi, dan banyak lagi. Untuk dapat menyebarluaskan jaringan wi-fi diperlukan perangkat yang disebut akses point. Perangkat ini akan menyebarkan SSID sehingga pengguna dapat mengetahui keberadaan jaringan wireless tersebut untuk dapat terhubung ke jaringan. Untuk memperluas jangkauan sinyal wi-fi maka diperlukan penambahan akses point. Setiap akses point akan diatur dan dikonfigurasi satu persatu, dan tentunya ini akan menjadi masalah ketika jumlah akses point sudah banyak. Masing masing akses point akan menghasilkan ssid yang tentunya akan mempengaruhi interferensi penggunaan pita frekuensi. Dengan adanya banyak akses point yang terpasang di area tersebut akan menyulitkan bagi administrator dalam mengkonfigurasi setiap akses point. Capsman menjadi solusi dalam sistem manajemen jaringan yang mampu mengatur seluruh akses point yang ada tersebut dalam satu kendali. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah PPDIOO yang terdiri dari enam langkah. Dari hasil pengujian yang dilakukan, capsman dapat melakukan manajemen akses point di laboratorium Perguruan Panca Budi Medan sehingga admin dapat dengan mudah mengkonfigurasi, monitoring, dan perawatan semua akses point yang di jaringan secara terpusat secara optimal dan efesien
