PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS OF CONSUMPTIVE ECONOMIC BEHAVIOR IN RELIGION
Authors: Wahid Abdul
Published: November 2023

The economic system arises because of human efforts to meet the needs of life, so that economic activities are formed, such as production, distribution, and consumption. Consumption is an important (even very important) activity in human life. In other words, the role of humans in the dynamics of their lives, must intersect and require consumption in the form of social interactions. However, all human activities, especially consumer behavior cannot be separated from the ways and rules that have been set in religion. In principle, religion (in this case Islam) should have to answer the many formulations of problems related to consumptive economic behavior. Religion implies that consumer behavior is not limited to the necessities of life that are real or visible in reality, but must also be based on an abstract or transcendental point of view. Thus, human behavior in the economy is not only fixated on the aspects of pleasures that emphasize the material aspects but also the spiritual aspects.

Published: November 2023

MDLY Gold is a small and medium business partner (MSME) engaged in the fashion sector that has been established since 2017. As of 2022, MDLY Gold successfully has 9 production and retail locations throughout the major islands of Indonesia with the main outlet located in Tanah Abang, Jakarta. Center. However, ordering MDLY Gold raw materials requires a lead time of 2 weeks. So this will affect the long production time so that it causes losses for MDLY Gold. Therefore, to maximize raw material inventory and reduce losses, we can analyze using the Economic Order Quantity method. Through solving the inventory control problem, the total Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) of raw material inventory for MDLY Gold production is 27,413.8 Yards during January to June. This EOQ aims to manage inventory that can optimize the total cost consisting of ordering costs and holding costs. Besides this, MDLY Gold must reorder when the stock reaches a reorder point of 17,668.4 Yards with additional supplies needed if there is no shortage of raw materials or safety stock of 10,112.24 Yards. Determination of ROP and SS is useful for MDLY Gold to be able to find out when is the best time to place an order besides there is an order lead time, so that raw materials will arrive on time and the production process will run smoothly without any problems in inventory control.

Published: November 2023

A previously healthy 4 and a half year old boy presented to primary health care consultation. Due to red flags in the neurodevelopment evaluation, autism spectrum disorder is suspected and the child was oriented to child psychiatry. Seven months later, he is evaluated once again and, in addition to worsening neurodevelopmental delay and poor school performance, growth retardation is noted, as well as exponential weight gain. Prader Willi syndrome is suspected and the patient was referred to the pediatricians consultation. An analytical study was performed showing an exponentially elevated TSH (>750 mUI/L) associated with a decreased free T4 (0.24 ng/dL). A radiograph of the hand and fist revealed mineral bone age around two years and eight months. The autoimmune study revealed positive antithyroid peroxidase antibodies and antithyroglobulin antibodies and the diagnosis of autoimmune hypothyroidism was established. Levothyroxine was initiated with clinical improvement and return to linear growth. However, cognitive impairment was still present. Autoimmune thyroiditis is the most common cause of acquired hypothyroidism in pediatric age, although it is rare under the age of three. This condition, if not treated in a timely manner, can cause adult height loss and delayed neurodevelopment. The presented case illustrates the importance of including thyroid function in the study of children with growth retardation and unexplained weight gain. Changes in behavior and school performance should also alert to this diagnosis.

Diaper dermatitis (DD) is a common disease in the first two years of life, although incontinence DD is seen in all ages including the elderly. Its pathogenesis is not uniform since irritant, allergic, and infectious factors can be involved. Diagnosis is visual except for atypical cases. After birth, the skin adapts from aquatic to terrestrial life. The skin-gut microbiome develops. The focus of the prevention of DD lies in the stabilization of epidermal barrier function and a healthy microbiome. Treatment depends on DD etiology. It includes skincare, hygienic measures, and medical therapy.
Epstein-Barr virus positive mucocutaneous ulcer – A diagnostic challenge
Authors: Osman Tagwa Abdullah M. , Fatima Sohaila
Published: November 2023

A significant portion of the global population carries the asymptomatic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Transfusions of blood and blood derivatives, organ and tissue transplantation, and oropharyngeal secretions are the main routes of transmission. The World Health Organization recently recognized the EBV mucocutaneous ulcer (EBVMU) as a provisional pathological entity in its classification of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues. It affects patients who are elderly or immunosuppressed. Histologically, it may be difficult to distinguish from Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Although skin or mucosa are uncommon sites of HL involvement, diagnosis at these sites should be made with extreme caution. The prognosis for EBVMU is good; cases regress on their own or after immunosuppressive therapy is reduced. We present a 67-year-old woman with a non-healing oral cavity ulcer which was diagnosed as EBV-positive mucocutaneous ulcer.
Plant Chemistry and Morphological Considerations for Efficient Carbon Sequestration
Authors: Sasse Joelle
Published: November 2023

Carbon sequestration to soils counteracts increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere, and increases soil fertility. Efforts to increase soil carbon storage produced mixed results, due to the multifactorial nature of this process, and the lack of knowledge on molecular details on the interplay of plants, microbes, and soil physiochemical properties. This review outlines the carbon flow from the atmosphere into soils, and factors resulting in elevated or decreased carbon sequestration are outlined. Carbon partitioning within plants defines how much fixed carbon is allocated belowground, and plant and microbial respiration accounts for the significant amount of carbon lost. Carbon enters the soil in form of soluble and polymeric rhizodeposits, and as shoot and root litter. These different forms of carbon are immobilized in soils with varying efficiency as mineral-bound or particulate organic matter. Plant-derived carbon is further turned over by microbes in different soil layers. Microbial activity and substrate use is influenced by the type of carbon produced by plants (molecular weight, chemical class). Further, soil carbon formation is altered by root depth, growth strategy (perennial versus annual), and C/N ratio of rhizodeposits influence soil carbon formation. Current gaps of knowledge and future directions are highlighted.
Geochemical Soil Atlas of Switzerland - Distribution of Toxic Elements
Authors: Reusser Jolanda E. , Siegenthaler Maja B. , Winkel Lenny H.E. , Wächter Daniel , Kretzschmar Ruben , Meuli Reto G.
Published: November 2023

Chemical elements such as copper and molybdenum are essential for animal and human health but may become toxic at elevated concentrations depending on the exposure and intake rate. Other elements such as mercury pose a threat to human health at already low concentrations. The soil acts as the main source of these elements for plant uptake and is thus driving accumulation along the food chain. However, in Switzerland, no nationwide information on elemental distributions in soils has existed up to now. The geochemical soil atlas of Switzerland will fill this gap by presenting the concentration ranges and the spatial distribution of 20 elements in the topsoil. In this summary, we present the methodological approaches and some main findings of the atlas with a focus on toxic elements as well as elements that can be or are toxic at higher concentrations.

Rebattre les cartes, l’ekphrasis paradoxale de Philippe Vasset
Authors: Olivier Claire
Published: November 2023

Alors que l’ekphrasis suppose une ambition d’exhaustivité et peut constituer au terme du processus une forme d’épuisement de la description permettant de rendre visible l’objet décrit, cet article se propose d’aborder l’ekphrasis cartographique comme la description d’une absence voire comme l’expression d’une disparition. À cette fin nous prendrons appui sur le travail de Philippe Vasset qui mène une réflexion sur les « zones vierges », sur ces « trous bien nets » qui marquent les cartes (Un livre blanc, 2007, Fayard). L’ekphrasis semble dès lors se décentrer quand l’intérêt de celui qui lit et décrit la carte se porte, se déporte, sur ces zones blanches qui sont précisément à la marge. Vasset interroge ce blanc, ce silence de la carte qui deviennent la matière même de son livre. On peut d’ailleurs ajouter que sa démarche même participe d’un défi rhétorique ; comment faire parler ce qui se caractériserait par une forme de mutisme ? Comment décrire, ou plutôt écrire, avec cette défaillance, ce refus de la carte à nommer, indiquer ces espaces ?
Du Google Art au roman contemporain.Écriture, cartographie et géolocalisation
Authors: Guilló Anna
Published: November 2023

Ouverts au grand public en 2006 et 2007, les logiciels Google Earth et Google Street View exercent, depuis, une influence notoire sur certaines formes de l’art contemporain et de la littérature, qu’il s’agisse du GPS Art, du travail des « Google artistes » ou des récits de voyage. Au-delà d’une nouvelle vision du monde qu’offre cette imagerie satellitaire inédite, les applications de géolocalisation, elles, modifient notre rapport au temps et au mouvement si bien qu’elles sont devenues aujourd’hui des outils de création à part entière. En prenant appui sur quelques exemples puisés dans le champ de la cartographie alternative et à partir de la lecture de deux romans parus en 2022, Antipolis de Nina Leger et GPS de Lucie Rico, cet article tente de mettre en lumière ce que la géolocalisation fait à certaines formes de création contemporaine.

We employ all-atom MD simulation framework to unravel water microstructure and ion properties for cationic PMETAC or [Poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl trimethylammonium chloride] brushes with chloride ions as counterions. First, we identify locally separate water regions (with different structural properties) each around the {N(CH3)3}+ and the C=O functional groups of the PMETAC chain and one around the Cl- ion. These water regions or domains, which are effectively the first hydration shells around the respective moieties, overlap and the extent of the overlap depends on the nature of the species triggering it. Second, despite the overlap, the water molecules in these domains demonstrate disparate properties dictated by the properties of the atoms/groups around which they are located. For example, the N atom is present as the {N(CH3)3}+ group in the PMETAC chain and the presence of the methyl groups make the {N(CH3)3}+ group trigger apolar hydration as evidenced by the corresponding orientation of the dipole of the water molecules within the water domain formed around the {N(CH3)3}+ moiety. Further, we report that the water molecules constituting the apolar hydration layer around the N(CH3)3}+ group have enhanced tetrahedrality as compared to the water molecules constituting the hydration layer around the C=O group and the Cl- counterion. Our simulations also identify that there is an intervening water layer between the Cl- ion and {N(CH3)3}+ group: the stability of this water layer prevents the Cl- ion from coming very close to the {N(CH3)3}+ group, despite the strong electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged species. As a consequence, there is a significantly large mobility of the Cl- ions inside the PMETAC brush layer. Furthermore, the C=O group of the PE chain, due to the partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and the specific structure of the system (namely the fact that the C=O group is a part of the PMETAC chains in brush-like configuration and are significantly away from other influencing moieties), demonstrates strongly hydrophilic behavior and enforces a specific dipole response of water molecules analogous to that experienced by water around anionic species of high charge density. In summary, our findings confirm that PMETAC brushes undergo hydrophilic hydration at one site, apolar hydration at another site, and ensures large mobility of the supported Cl- counterions.

A complex containing a V-Al bond is described. This species can be prepared by either transmetallation of a previously disclosed alumanylpotassium with Cp2VCl or photolytic oxidative alumi-nation of Cp2V using the corresponding dialumane(4). Reaction of the resulting V-Al complex with H2 gave a Cp2V-dihydridoaluminate complex. These complexes were studied with X-ray crystallography, spectroscopy including vanadium K-edge XANES spectroscopy, and DFT calculations. Finally, the reactivity of these molecules was studied opening the way to a catalytic C–H alumanylation of alkenes.

We present a general-purpose machine learning model for predicting properties of crystals. Specifically, energy of formation, Fermi level energy, band gap, partial charges, and bulk modulus as well as spectral properties, including electronic and phonon densities of states are targeted. Thus, our model can be used to screen materials for specific properties. The model is based on atomic representations which enables it to effectively capture complex information about each atom and its surrounding environment in a crystal. The accuracy achieved for band gap values exceeds results previously published. By design, our model is not restricted to electronic properties discussed here but can be extended to fit diverse chemical databases.

Understanding a real shear-thickening fluid (STF) flowing through channel is essential in developing soft body armour applications. A real shear thickening fluid has a combination of parts-wise Newtonian, shear thinning and shear thickening regions in the viscosity-shear rate plot. The Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), a mesoscopic simulation, is employed in a D2Q9 framework to study the flow characteristics of a real shear thickening fluid. To validate the results, we compared the numerical and analytical results obtained for fluid flow with a combination of power-law fluids with shear thickening and shear thinning behaviour, which are characterized by different power-law indexes. The effect of stress and strain rate on fluid flow has been studied. Next, we have also extended the above model to see the characteristics of the flow properties of a real shear thickening fluid having three distinct regions of Newtonian, shear thinning, and shear thickening in the viscosity-shear rate plot and discussed the results using the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and with a theoretical model. We find that for the low shear rates, the Newtonian flow rate dominates, and as we keep increasing the shear rate through increasing, the thinning behaviors start to dominate, followed by the thickening phenomenon of the flow. We also find that initially, the flow begins with the Newtonian flow, and as we increase the channel height, the thinning flow starts to dominate, and for larger height channels, the thickening flow of real STF dominates.
The Goldilocks Principle: Balancing Familiarity and Novelty in the Selection of Play Partners in Groups of Juvenile Male Rats
Authors: Ham Jackson , Pellis Sergio
Published: November 2023

Like many mammals, rats frequently engage in play fighting as juveniles, an activity that influences the development of socio-cognitive skills. Most studies that assess play are based on staged dyadic encounters, implying that some average quantity and quality of play are sufficient to produce these developmental effects. However, there are individual differences, with some rats not only preferring to play more, but also to have more physical contact than others. Given that rats have individual differences in play, it raises the possibility that rats might express these preferences when playing in groups. To determine whether rats form partner preferences, trials were conducted in which a focal rat was given the opportunity to play with three partners of varying familiarity. One partner was a cage mate, another was housed on the other side of a transparent and perforated divider and so familiar, but not a prior play partner, and the third was a stranger from another cage. A total of 36 focal rats, between 30-36 days of age, were tested and video recorded in 20-minute trials following 2.5 h of social isolation. Focal rats expressed a preference for neighbors over both strangers and cage mates, indicating that balancing between familiarity and novelty influences social play partner preferences. Mechanisms by which this preference might have been established, such as dominance relationships, weight differences, and congruency of play style, were investigated, but none were correlated with the preferences expressed. This group dynamics perspective provides a novel approach to studying play, and more generally, provides insights into social exploration and decision-making.
Canine Curiosity: What We Do and Don’t Know, and What Human Infants Could Teach Us
Authors: Sexton Courtney , Lucca Kelsey
Published: November 2023

The phenomenon of domesticated dogs looking to humans for information is ubiquitous, yet infrequently observed among other interspecies interactions. Dogs’ inclination to solicit information from humans is in large part a result of the two species’ shared social evolution and niche. Perhaps a more compelling aspect of this relationship is how dogs respond in the face of unexpected, uncertain, and/or novel cues from humans, from whom they frequently solicit information. The influence of human presence on canines’ curiosity about and engagement with their immediate environment is understudied, in part due to challenges in study design. SomeS of these challenges are common to working with and learning from babies of our own species. And, as dogs have developed many mental processes and behaviors similar to preverbal human infants, illuminating strategies for understanding curiosity in babies may prove useful in learning more about how dogs experience the world, with and without people.

Published: November 2023

Degenerative joint disease, or osteoarthritis (OA), is a prevalent chronic synovial joint condition characterized by non-inflammatory degeneration, leading to pain and restricted joint movement. OA patients navigate a spectrum of therapeutic options, from social media advice to prescriptions from primary care physicians. This article critically assesses evidence-based treatments for generalized or monoarticular OA, advocating multidisciplinary and multimodal therapy. Evaluation covers patient education, pharmaceuticals, complementary and alternative medicine, surgery, manual techniques, acupuncture, bracing, assistive devices, physical therapy, modalities, and interventional procedures (corticosteroid injection, viscosupplementation, pulsed radiofrequency). Optimal benefits emerge from early diagnosis and prevention combined with multidisciplinary and multimodal treatments. The review highlights the synergy of complementary therapies. Healthcare professionals should be well-versed in diverse OA management resources, emphasizing tailored treatment plans aligned with individual needs and encouraging healthier lifestyle choices for optimal patient outcomes.Top of Form
