Published: March 2023

This study aims to examine cases of inheritance from different religions that have been decided by the Religious Courts, High Religious Courts, and the Supreme Court in Indonesia. Inheritance from different religions can be classified into inheritance from Muslim heirs to non-Muslim heirs and inheritance from non-Muslim heirs to Muslim heirs. This study uses a judicial case study approach by examining five decisions, consisting of two religious court decisions, two cassation decisions, and one Supreme Court jurisprudence. This study shows that in cases of inheritance from non-Muslim heirs to Muslim heirs, religious court judges allow Muslim heirs to receive inheritance. This is in line with the opinion of some fiqh scholars who allow such provisions. Meanwhile, in cases of inheritance of Muslim heirs to non-Muslim heirs, judges at the religious court, high court, and the Supreme Court did not decide this case as an inheritance, but as a mandatory wasiat, so that the provisions prohibiting a Muslim from inheriting a non-Muslim were still obeyed by these judges. while the relationship between the heir and the heir is maintained because the heir still receives the heir's inheritance. The formulation of this obligatory will does not conflict with the opinion of the clergy, because there are no religious requirements in wasiat.

Published: March 2023

This study is intended to examine the fatwa of the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) regarding Fundraising under the Wakalah bi al-Istismar Agreement which provides greater opportunities for Islamic financial institutions in Indonesia in raising and managing capital. This study uses a document approach by using the DSN-MUI fatwa Number 152 of 2022 as the main source, and analyzed using a qualitative approach. This study shows that the DSN-MUI fatwa has provided additional options for savings and deposit products in Islamic financial institutions, namely wakalah bi al-istismar. Thus, the level of customer needs which is a priority through the addition of various alternative contracts, is expected to be able to attract many customers, especially in the fundraising mechanism in Islamic banking. It's just that the use of the contract does not apply to all fundraising products, but only to certain products that have been determined.

Authors: Gomes Filho Antonio Costa , Pires Luiz Carlos , Nabarro Márcia Aparecida , Lima Renata Gisele Aguiar Kinoshita de
Published: March 2023

A mobilidade tem por objetivo planejar e prever possíveis dificuldades dentro da vida no trânsito. O trânsito, hoje, é um dos maiores causadores de morte, estresse e discussões, afinal, regras são desenvolvidas e projetos são realizados com o objetivo de mudar o pensamento e tornar a vida das pessoas cada vez mais móvel. Porém, para isso, são necessários estudos e muita mudança. Uma solução para a mobilidade é o investimento em transporte de massa, investimento nos transportes coletivos urbanos. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é identificar, junto aos proprietários de veículos automotores individuais (motos e carros), os motivos do não uso do transporte coletivo público (ônibus) na cidade de Londrina, e quais motivos levariam os mesmos a utilizá-lo. Ao analisar os dados, chega-se à conclusão que os cidadãos londrinenses proprietários de veículo não utilizam o transporte coletivo por terem veículo próprio, independente do conforto, valor ou segurança. E se um dia fosse necessário a utilização de transporte coletivo de massa, seria apenas em caso de trabalho.
ДИЛЕМА СОЦІАЛЬНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ
Authors: Кліпкова Оксана
Published: March 2023

Ця стаття узагальнює понятійно-категорійний апарат визначення понять «безпека» та «соціальна безпека». Основною метою проведеного дослідження є виокремлення характерних ознак та концептуальних засад дилеми соціальної безпеки. Систематизація літературних джерел та підходів до вирішення проблеми засвідчила, що у наразі категорія «соціальна безпека» є не повністю вивчена через її часткову приналежність до множини понять, які становлять національну безпеку держави. Актуальність вирішення даної наукової проблеми полягає в тому, що формування засад та механізмів забезпечення соціальної безпеки допоможе у попередженні та вирішенні етнічних та міжетнічних конфліктів, забезпеченні вірних орієнтирів реалізації засад соціальної політики держави, врахуванні інтересів соціальних груп. Дослідження концепції дилеми соціальної безпеки визначається багатокомпонентною моделлю, в основі якої лежать: держава, суспільство та людина. Концепт соціальної безпеки формується на основі двох тверджень «ідентифікації» та «відповіді», а також на концепціях безпеки та суспільної безпеки, як нетотожних, але схожих за інструментарієм понять. Методичним інструментарієм проведеного дослідження стали метод порівнянь, наукової абстракції, графічний та логічний. Об’єктом дослідження процес формування концепції дилеми соціальної безпеки. Результати проведеного дослідження можуть бути корисними для забезпечення соціальної безпеки в умовах воєнних дій в Україні
ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ЗЕМЕЛЬНИХ РЕСУРСІВ ЯК СТРАТЕГІЧНИЙ ЧИННИК ВИРІШЕННЯ ПРОБЛЕМИ ПРОДОВОЛЬЧОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ
Authors: Нестерчук Аліна
Published: March 2023

У дослідженні встановлено, що загалом в Україні, і зокрема у Житомирській області спостерігається зростання виробництва валової продукції на 1 га сільськогосподарських угідь та ріллі. Така ситуація пояснюється, по-перше, зростанням обсягу валового виробництва продукції та по-друге, зменшенням площі сільськогосподарських угідь та ріллі. Позитивним є те, що відбувається переміщення товарного виробництва аграрної продукції від дрібних господарств населення до великих сільськогосподарських підприємств, які здатні здійснювати не тільки інтенсифікацію земельних ресурсів, а й забезпечувати продовольчу безпеку населення України. Визначено, що національна продовольча безпека формується за рахунок власного виробництва сільськогосподарської продукції і є менш залежною від імпортних продуктів харчування. Обгрунтовано, що головним резервом підвищення ефективності використання земельних ресурсів є інтенсифікація, яка передбачає зниження рівня розораності земельних угідь, використання новітніх мінеральних добрив, виробництво нових поколінь засобів захисту рослин тощо.
International Accountability in the Implementation of the Right to Development and the “Wonderful Artificiality” of Law: An African Perspective
Authors: Okafor Obiora C. , Ngwaba Uchechukwu
Published: March 2023

The landscape for the implementation of the right to development has undergone significant transformative shifts with the recent establishment of a new expert mechanism on the right to development by the UN Human Rights Council, and the finalisation of a draft treaty on the right to development. Yet, much more can clearly still be done to strengthen UN, state and non-state actors thinking on accountability in the implementation of the right to development, to add to the already considerable progress that has taken place. Our paper explores what can be done, focusing on the African and international context. We conclude that by reflecting on the benefits which a greater focus on accountability in UN development thinking post-2015 can bring to the table, the chances of success of the right to development is heightened.

En el presente trabajo vamos a tratar la cuestión de la importancia del consentimiento de la mujer víctima de violencia de género en el proceso judicial que busca condenar al agresor, particularmente cuando no solicita una Orden de Protección que se le impone igual con el fin de resguardar su integridad física. Notamos que hay una contraposición de derechos: Autonomía de la voluntad vs. Integridad física y derecho a la vida; Dignidad humana vs. Dignidad humana. De esta forma, para alcanzar los objetivos y responder los cuestionamientos de la investigación científica será utilizado el método deductivo, a través de pesquisa bibliográfica nacional y extranjera. Se concluyó que es importante analizar los factores que influyen en el comportamiento de las personas, en espacial sobre las cuestiones de género y discriminación.
Two- and Three-dimensional Numerical Back-analysis of Deep Excavation Case Studies from Budapest, Hungary
Authors: Szepesházi Attila , Móczár Balázs
Published: March 2023

In this paper, the numerical back analyses of four, typical, monitored deep excavations completed in Budapest are presented. The typical excavation solution in Budapest city center, down to 15–18 m excavation depth, is a diaphragm wall embedded in the clay bedrock and supported by prestressed anchors embedded in the sedimentary soils above the clay. In these case studies this solution is analyzed with traditional Winkler type and more complex PLAXIS 2D and 3D finite element models. The focus of the study was to compare the measured wall deformations with the calculated ones derived by the listed methods. As the clay bedrock is a deterministic layer for the wall behavior, several different FEM models were prepared to analyze the appropriateness of the potential constitutive models for its proper characterization. As a conclusion, practical proposals were made for practitioners for future excavations.
THE COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN EARLY CHILDHOOD IN SWEDEN AND JAPAN: THROUGH “THE ENVIRONMENTAL EPISTEMOLOGICAL MODEL OF 5 ASPECTS”
Authors: Asano Yoshiko
Published: March 2023

There is a general responsibility to protect the earth system to reach “Sustainability” since the earth problems grow more serious day by day. However, it is not easy for everyone to be aware of this problem and to act for protecting the Earth in daily life, because the environmental problems are not visible. This study suggests ESD as a means for raising the awareness and behavior about the Earth. And “The environmental epistemological model of 5 aspects” is presented which connects ESD of earth environment with environmental policy.
This study shows how the “The environmental epistemological model of 5 aspects” is reflected on the environmental policy and education within two municipalities which are trying to be woody biomass society as an example of the vision of “Sustainable society”. The municipalities are Växjö city in Sweden and Kaneyama-machi in Japan. As a result, it is clear that environmental policy and education at preschools in Sweden and in Japan are important institutions for promoting “The environmental epistemological model of 5 aspects” of a municipality's environmental policy.
And it is concluded that ESD at early childhood is important as the base of the life-long learning and citizen's participation.
Key words: early childhood, education for sustainable development, the environmental epistemological model of 5 aspects, sustainability.
A GENDER-BASED ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICES AMONG MAASAI AGRO-PASTORALISTS
Authors: Oywaya-Nkurumwa Agnes , Gowland Mwangi John , Kathuri Nephat N. J.
Published: March 2023

The Maasai like many pastoralists around the world have in recent years been forced to seek alternative livelihoods as pastoralism becomes untenable due to climate change and population pressures. Agro-pastoralism is one of the alternatives being pursued, but there are associated challenges mainly due to the Maasai people’s lack of indigenous technical knowledge on crop farming, and negative cultural attitudes to the practice. Agricultural extension services have a crucial role to play as the major providers of necessary technical knowledge on crop cultivation. The purpose of this gender-based study was to investigate the role of government extension services among Maasai agro-pastoralists as a source of influence and information on crop cultivation. The study also sought to determine the type and frequency of extension contact that the agro-pastoralists receive. The study adopted a survey research design and was carried out in Narok North District of Kenya, using a sample of 153 male and 87 female household heads, who were selected either through multi-stage cluster sampling or systematic sampling. Agricultural extension workers and key informants also provided data for triangulation purposes. The findings indicated the respondents had low contact with agricultural extension service, with 55.6% of male respondents and 66.7% female respondents reporting having had no contact at all. Informal sources comprising of relatives, friends and neighbours were the leading source of influence to grow crops as well as the leading source of technical information on crop farming for most of them, more so for the female respondents. The frequency of extension contact was generally low, with 50% of male respondents and 64.3% of female respondents reporting a frequency of three times or less over the past two years. Fifty-one percent of male respondents and 53% of female respondents rated the information they received as inadequate. For the female respondents, the leading types of extension contact were farm and home visits and seminars as well as seminars. For the male respondents, the leading extension type was a combination of different extension methods including farm and home visits, field days, demonstrations, seminars and office visits. The study findings clearly indicated the inadequacy of the extension services provided for the Maasai agro-pastoralists. The study therefore concluded that there was need to strengthen agricultural extension services among them in order to facilitate successful livelihood diversification and promote food security and livelihoods.
Key words: agricultural extension, agro-pastoralism, alternative livelihoods, Maasai, pastoralism.
THE MENTAL PICTURE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AMONG THE IRAQI PUBLIC
Authors: Gabar Al-Shemary Ali
Published: March 2023

This research is considered as the beginning of other studies about the iraqi the public and their relationship with the various state institutions. Recently, such studies used to be almost non-existent. The main characteristic that distinguishes the scientific studies, is the fact that it involves a specific problem that needs to be studied and analysed from multiple aspects, otherwise the definition of problem identification wouldn’t have been narrowing the topic into what the researcher wants to address, also not what the title is referring to as topics which the researcher doesn’t want to address. The problem in this research resides in the lack of well planned scientific programs that aims at building a positive mental picture about the institutions of the modern state in general, and the house of representatives in particular, and especially that the iraqi citizen is not used yet to the existence of a parliamentary life based on democtratic foundations. In addition, the relationship between the former parliaments and the public has lost confidence as a result of the failure of these parliaments to perform their duties as the public wants, which might badly affect the public’s image of the current parliament. Also, the House of Representatives did not succeed during the first legislative term in providing what the public was expecting, which forced the presidency of the Council to extend the legislative term for an additional month. If the problem of the research was to answer the researcher’s questions or test hypotheses dictated by the requirements of the research to achieve its objectives, this research attempts to test a set of zero hypotheses based on an assumption, which states that the results came from a single community, and therefore there are no differences in the answers of the respondents.

Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı, Avrasya coğrafyasında etkinliği giderek artan stratejik bir birliğe dönüşmektedir. Uluslararası sistemin her geçen gün değişen yapısı içerisinde bölgesel bütünleşme girişimlerinin önemi artmaktadır. Avrupa Birliği, Avrasya Ekonomik Birliği ve Şangay İşbirliği Örgütü gibi birçok örgüt aracılığıyla devletler çıkarlarını en yüksek seviyeye çıkarma çabası içindedir. Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı da bölgesel bir örgütlenme olarak Türk Dünyası için çok önemli bir oluşumdur. Türk Dünyası’nın etkileşimi Sovyetler Birliği’nin dağılması sonrasında küçük adımlarla başlamış ve günümüzde artarak devam etmektedir. Uluslararası sistemin yapısındaki değişim ve bölgesel gelişmeler, Teşkilatı giderek önemli hale getirmektedir. COVID-19 salgınının ekonomik etkileri, Ukrayna-Rusya çatışmasının derinleştirdiği enerji ve gıda krizleri gibi temel sorunlarla devletlerin tek başına mücadele etmeleri pek mümkün değildir. Bu bağlamda Türkiye başta olmak üzere teşkilatı oluşturan Azerbaycan, Kazakistan, Kırgızistan ve Özbekistan’ın Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı’na verdikleri önem artmaktadır. Teşkilatı oluşturan devletlerin her birinin stratejik avantajları bulunmaktadır. Türkiye’nin bölgesel gücü ve Azerbaycan’ın enerji rezervleri buna örnek gösterilebilir. Dolayısıyla farklı konularda güçlü yanları olan devletlerin bir örgüt içinde güç birliği yapması, teşkilata üye her devletin çıkarı açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmada Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı’nın, Türk Dili Konuşan Ülkeler Zirvesi ile başlayan tarihsel gelişimi incelenmiştir. Türk Dünyasındaki bütünleşme çabalarının tarihsel süreç içinde geçirdiği değişim analiz edilmiştir.

Published: March 2023

In this study, it is aimed to analyse women's employment in local government institutions and the gender-based difficulties experienced by women working in municipalities. In this direction, purposive sampling method was preferred, and interviews were conducted with female employees of Muş Municipality. Data were collected by applying semi-structured interview technique and three themes were determined by analysing the data with content analysis method. Sub-themes were created for each theme. It has been determined that participations are generally satisfied with their employment, but they encounter some basic problems in their employment satisfaction and evaluation of their after-hours time. It has been observed that the women employed in the municipality are spiritually comfortable due to their profession, but they have financial problems and do not focus much on their personal development. Although women could not reach the level they wanted to spend time in social activities and for themselves, it was seen that there was progress in this area and moreover, they were supported by their spouses and relatives while doing housework. On the other hand, gender-based discrimination, external factors and marital status/parenting theme show that one of the main problems women experience in their working life is to struggle with the gender-related behaviour and role expectations of the society they live in. Gender roles negatively affect women's business life and prevent them from benefiting from employment areas in the municipality as much as men.

Published: March 2023

The severity of the problems experienced by PLWHA (People Living with HIV/AIDS) can affect the psychological, social and spiritual aspects, as well as the ability and capacity of the health services. People living with HIV/AIDS experience psychosocial problems, such as anxiety towards illnesses they cannot predict. Patients commonly experience financial problems, chronic grief, depression, guilt, depression, and fear of death. Other psychosocial problems include withdrawal, impaired socialization, role disturbance, worry about relationships with partners, lifestyle changes, loss of enthusiasm due to limitations and feelings of alienation. This study aims to determine the factors related to spiritual distress among HIV/AIDS patients at Sawerigading General Hospital in Palopo. This was a quantitative study using a cross-sectional design. The study samples were selected using purposive sampling technique. Samples were selected among patients who came to the PCT unit of Sawerigading Hospital, Palopo City. The results showed that there was a relationship between self-relationship (p=0.005), relationship with others (p=0.024), art, music, literature and nature (p=0.024) and greater power (p=0.022) with spiritual distress. It can be concluded that there was a relationship between the independent variables of self-relationship, relationship with others, art, music, literature and nature, greater power with the dependent variable of spiritual distress.
Biomechanical evaluation of multiple pelvic screws and multirod construct for the augmentation of lumbosacral junction in long spinal fusion surgery
Authors: Yang Honghao , Pan Aixing , Hai Yong , Cheng Fengqi , Ding Hongtao , Liu Yuzeng
Published: March 2023

Background: Posterior long spinal fusion was the common procedure for adult spinal deformity (ASD). Although the application of sacropelvic fixation (SPF), the incidence of pseudoarthrosis and implant failure is still high in long spinal fusion extending to lumbosacral junction (LSJ). To address these mechanical complications, advanced SPF technique by multiple pelvic screws or multirod construct has been recommended. This was the first study to compare the biomechanical performance of combining multiple pelvic screws and multirod construct to other advanced SPF constructs for the augmentation of LSJ in long spinal fusion surgery through finite element (FE) analysis.

Methods: An intact lumbopelvic FE model based on computed tomography images of a healthy adult male volunteer was constructed and validated. The intact model was modified to develop five instrumented models, all of which had bilateral pedicle screw (PS) fixation from L1 to S1 with posterior lumbar interbody fusion and different SPF constructs, including No-SPF, bilateral single S2-alar-iliac (S2AI) screw and single rod (SS-SR), bilateral multiple S2AI screws and single rod (MS-SR), bilateral single S2AI screw and multiple rods (SS-MR), and bilateral multiple S2AI screws and multiple rods (MS-MR). The range of motion (ROM) and stress on instrumentation, cages, sacrum, and S1 superior endplate (SEP) in flexion (FL), extension (EX), lateral bending (LB), and axial rotation (AR) were compared among models.

Results: Compared with intact model and No-SPF, the ROM of global lumbopelvis, LSJ, and sacroiliac joint (SIJ) was decreased in SS-SR, MS-SR, SS-MR, and MS-MR in all directions. Compared with SS-SR, the ROM of global lumbopelvis and LSJ of MS-SR, SS-MR, and MS-MR further decreased, while the ROM of SIJ was only decreased in MS-SR and MS-MR. The stress on instrumentation, cages, S1-SEP, and sacrum decreased in SS-SR, compared with no-SPF. Compared with SS-SR, the stress in EX and AR further decreased in SS-MR and MS-SR. The most significantly decreased ROM and stress were observed in MS-MR.

Conclusion: Both multiple pelvic screws and multirod construct could increase the mechanical stability of LSJ and reduce stress on instrumentation, cages, S1-SEP, and sacrum. The MS-MR construct was the most adequate to reduce the risk of lumbosacral pseudarthrosis, implant failure, and sacrum fracture. This study may provide surgeons with important evidence for the application of MS-MR construct in the clinical settings.
Tissue-specific expression of carbohydrate sulfotransferases drives keratan sulfate biosynthesis in the notochord and otic vesicles of Xenopus embryos
Authors: Yasuoka Yuuri
Published: March 2023

Keratan sulfate (KS) is a glycosaminoglycan that is enriched in vertebrate cornea, cartilage, and brain. During embryonic development, highly sulfated KS (HSKS) is first detected in the developing notochord and then in otic vesicles; therefore, HSKS has been used as a molecular marker of the notochord. However, its biosynthetic pathways and functional roles in organogenesis are little known. Here, I surveyed developmental expression patterns of genes related to HSKS biosynthesis in Xenopus embryos. Of these genes, the KS chain-synthesizing glycosyltransferase genes, beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (b3gnt7) and beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase (b4galt4), are strongly expressed in the notochord and otic vesicles, but also in other tissues. In addition, their notochord expression is gradually restricted to the posterior end at the tailbud stage. In contrast, carbohydrate sulfotransferase (Chst) genes, chst2, chst3, and chst5.1, are expressed in both notochord and otic vesicles, whereas chst1, chst4/5-like, and chst7 are confined to otic vesicles. Because the substrate for Chst1 and Chst3 is galactose, while that for others is N-acetylglucosamine, combinatorial, tissue-specific expression patterns of Chst genes should be responsible for tissue-specific HSKS enrichment in embryos. As expected, loss of function of chst1 led to loss of HSKS in otic vesicles and reduction of their size. Loss of chst3 and chst5.1 resulted in HSKS loss in the notochord. These results reveal that Chst genes are critical for HSKS biosynthesis during organogenesis. Being hygroscopic, HSKS forms “water bags” in embryos to physically maintain organ structures. In terms of evolution, in ascidian embryos, b4galt and chst-like genes are also expressed in the notochord and regulate notochord morphogenesis. Furthermore, I found that a chst-like gene is also strongly expressed in the notochord of amphioxus embryos. These conserved expression patterns of Chst genes in the notochord of chordate embryos suggest that Chst is an ancestral component of the chordate notochord.
Heterostructured mixed metal oxide electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction
Authors: Pratama Dwi Sakti Aldianto , Haryanto Andi , Lee Chan Woo
Published: March 2023

The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has attracted considerable attention lately because of the high energy density and environmental friendliness of hydrogen energy. However, lack of efficient electrocatalysts and high price hinder its wide application. Compared to a single-phase metal oxide catalyst, mixed metal oxide (MMO) electrocatalysts emerge as a potential HER catalyst, especially providing heterostructured interfaces that can efficiently overcome the activation barrier for the hydrogen evolution reaction. In this mini-review, several design strategies for the synergistic effect of the MMO catalyst on the HER are summarized. In particular, metal oxide/metal oxide and metal/metal oxide interfaces are explained with fundamental mechanistic insights.

Introduction

Cardiac lymphoma is a rare but serious disease that is usually located in the right heart. The symptoms (dyspnea, respiratory distress, fatigue, syncope…) are not specific and depend on the mass location. Cardiac magnetic resonance has a crucial role in the diagnostic strategy but biopsy is mandatory to confirm the diagnosis.

Case presentation

We report the case of a 63-yeart old man who presented with severe dyspnea and complete atrioventricular block (AVB). A bulky and invasive mass was found in the left atrium extending to the right atrium through the interatrial septum. A cardiac lymphoma was suspected by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and confirmed by transvenous biopsy. The patient was treated with urgent chemotherapy (R-CHOP) and pacemaker implantation. After 4 cycles of R-CHOP the patient was in complete remission with total disappearance of the mass and return of a spontaneous sinus rhythm.

Conclusion

lymphoma is a therapeutic emergency as appropriate treatment can lead to complete remission even when the mass is extensive and invasive. Complete AVB is a potentially reversible complication of cardiac lymphoma, and the decision to implant a pacemaker must be carefully weighed.
The multifaceted nature of endogenous cardiac regeneration
Authors: Rolland Laura , Jopling Chris
Published: March 2023

Since the first evidence of cardiac regeneration was observed, almost 50 years ago, more studies have highlighted the endogenous regenerative abilities of several models following cardiac injury. In particular, analysis of cardiac regeneration in zebrafish and neonatal mice has uncovered numerous mechanisms involved in the regenerative process. It is now apparent that cardiac regeneration is not simply achieved by inducing cardiomyocytes to proliferate but requires a multifaceted response involving numerous different cell types, signaling pathways and mechanisms which must all work in harmony in order for regeneration to occur. In this review we will endeavor to highlight a variety of processes that have been identifed as being essential for cardiac regeneration.

Introduction

While Yap and Wwtr1 regulate resident cardiac fibroblast to myofibroblast differentiation following cardiac injury, their role specifically in activated myofibroblasts remains unexplored.

Methods

We assessed the pathophysiological and cellular consequence of genetic depletion of Yap alone (Yapfl/fl;PostnMCM) or Yap and Wwtr1 (Yapfl/fl;Wwtr1fl/+;PostnMCM) in adult mouse myofibroblasts following myocardial infarction and identify and validate novel downstream factors specifically in cardiac myofibroblasts that mediate pathological remodeling.

Results

Following myocardial infarction, depletion of Yap in myofibroblasts had minimal effect on heart function while depletion of Yap/Wwtr1 resulted in smaller scars, reduced interstitial fibrosis, and improved ejection fraction and fractional shortening. Single cell RNA sequencing of interstitial cardiac cells 7 days post infarction showed suppression of pro-fibrotic genes in fibroblasts derived from Yapfl/fl,Wwtr1fl/+;PostnMCM hearts. In vivo myofibroblast depletion of Yap/Wwtr1 as well in vitro knockdown of Yap/Wwtr1 dramatically decreased RNA and protein expression of the matricellular factor Ccn3. Administration of recombinant CCN3 to adult mice following myocardial infarction remarkably aggravated cardiac function and scarring. CCN3 administration drove myocardial gene expression of pro-fibrotic genes in infarcted left ventricles implicating CCN3 as a novel driver of cardiac fibrotic processes following myocardial infarction.

Discussion

Yap/Wwtr1 depletion in myofibroblasts attenuates fibrosis and significantly improves cardiac outcomes after myocardial infarction and we identify Ccn3 as a factor downstream of Yap/Wwtr1 that contributes to adverse cardiac remodeling post MI. Myofibroblast expression of Yap, Wwtr1, and Ccn3 could be further explored as potential therapeutic targets for modulating adverse cardiac remodeling post injury.
Combined effect of the solar activity and ENSO on the tropical cyclone genesis frequency in the southeastern part of the western North Pacific
Authors: Li Shuang , Li Zhangqun , Ling Sining
Published: March 2023

This study analyzes the frequency characteristics of tropical cyclone (TC) genesis in the southeastern part of the western North Pacific (SEWNP) during June–November from 1965 to 2019 and investigates the possible combined effect of the solar activity and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Results suggest that TCs generated in the SEWNP have the longest lifetime and greatest strength, and its frequency has apparent interannual and decadal variations, which is jointly affected by the solar activity and ENSO. In El Niño years during declining phases of solar cycle (1–3 years following the solar maximum), positive TC genesis frequency anomalies in the SEWNP are significantly strong and tend to occur in extremes. While the opposite is true for La Niña during ascending phases of solar cycle (1–3 years following the solar minimum). However, there exists no significant feature in the combined effect of La Niña (El Niño) and declining (ascending) phases of solar cycle. When declining (ascending) phases of solar cycle and El Niño (La Niña) are combined, the overlapping effect leads to apparently warmer (colder) sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the central equatorial Pacific and colder (warmer) SST anomalies in the western Pacific, so the SST anomalies gradient are stronger. It enhances low-level westerly (easterly) wind anomalies and upper-level easterly (westerly) wind anomalies, which is favorable for the further decrease (increase) of the vertical wind shear in the eastern (most) part of SEWNP. Moreover, the stronger and more westward low-level convergence (divergence) center appears in the Pacific, causing stronger low-level convergent (divergent) flow and upper-level divergent (convergent) flow anomalies, and strengthened (suppressed) ascending movement anomalies in the SEWNP. As a result, the TC genesis frequency in the SEWNP is much higher (lower). Further diagnoses show that absolute vorticity plays a leading role in El Niño years during declining phases of solar cycle, and its contribution is obviously much greater than other environmental factors. It is not perfectly symmetrical in La Niña years during ascending phases of solar cycle when the contribution of absolute vorticity is the greatest, but vertical wind shear is also important.
Compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress in teachers: How they contribute to burnout and how they are related to trauma-awareness
Authors: Oberg Glenys , Carroll Annemaree , Macmahon Stephanie
Published: March 2023

Introduction

Teachers play an integral role in providing positive life experiences for their students and are especially crucial for students who are experiencing or have experienced a trauma in their lives. In Australia however, teachers are increasingly stating that they do not plan on remaining in the profession causing media and governments to warn of a teacher shortage. Several key factors for teacher attrition have been proposed, with burnout being described as a contributing factor). Studies which have focused specifically on teachers’ experiences working with students with histories of trauma have suggested links between lack of trauma-aware training and increased levels of compassion fatigue (CF), secondary traumatic stress (STS), and burnout.

Methods

This paper draws on established research into CF, STS and burnout as well as trauma awareness of teachers using a narrative topical approach to explore the challenges faced by teachers and students in a post-covid landscape.

Results

The results of this review suggest a need for additional research into the impact on teachers of working with an increasingly traumatized student body.

Conclusion

The lack of trauma-specific training reported by pre-service and current teachers indicate a need for higher education institutions and schools to better prepare teachers to support traumatized students while safeguarding their own wellbeing.

Introduction

The purpose of this brief report is to describe how a structured sport-based positive life skills program can be used in promoting the development of entrepreneurial skills of youth in Ghana.

Methods

A total of 29 youth participated in the study with 11 as the control group and the remaining 18 as the intervention group. The students in the intervention together with 5 parents participated in a weekend mapping camp. Data for the study was collected with the Youth Experience Survey for Sport to measure the Life skills and entrepreneurship skills using a quasi experimental pre and post test control group design.

Results

The youth in the intervention group reported important physical and personal benefits and entrepreneurial skills such as cooperation (teamwork), risk taking, creativity, leadership, cognitive development, and positive engagement in physical activity which they did not previously have. The results are similar to existing published papers giving this report a commendable validity and reliability.

Discussion

Similar to the previously published papers, the perceived gains in this report also show that exposing youth to a structured sport-based positive life skills program produce both physical benefits and development of lifelong skills necessary to develop skills necessary for entrepreneurial endeavors. When this intervention is upscaled in Ghana the country could offset high youth unemployment with its associated challenges.
Fuel performance uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis in the presence of epistemic and aleatoric sources of uncertainties

Published: March 2023

Fuel performance modeling and simulation includes many uncertain parameters from models to boundary conditions, manufacturing parameters and material properties. These parameters exhibit large uncertainties and can have an epistemic or aleatoric nature, something that renders fuel performance code-to-code and code-to-measurements comparisons for complex phenomena such as the pellet cladding mechanical interaction (PCMI) very challenging. Additionally, PCMI and other complex phenomena found in fuel performance modeling and simulation induce strong discontinuities and non-linearities that can render difficult to extract meaningful conclusions form uncertainty quantification (UQ) and sensitivity analysis (SA) studies. In this work, we develop and apply a consistent treatment of epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties for both UQ and SA in fuel performance calculations and use historical benchmark-quality measurement data to demonstrate it. More specifically, the developed methodology is applied to the OECD/NEA Multi-physics Pellet Cladding Mechanical Interaction Validation benchmark. A cold ramp test leading to PCMI is modeled. Two measured quantities of interest are considered: the cladding axial elongation during the irradiations and the cladding outer diameter after the cold ramp. The fuel performance code used to perform the simulation is FAST. The developed methodology involves various steps including a Morris screening to decrease the number of uncertain inputs, a nested loop approach for propagating the epistemic and aleatoric sources of uncertainties, and a global SA using Sobol indices. The obtained results indicate that the fuel and cladding thermal conductivities as well as the cladding outer diameter uncertainties are the three inputs having the largest impact on the measured quantities. More importantly, it was found that the epistemic uncertainties can have a significant impact on the measured quantities and can affect the outcome of the global sensitivity analysis.
