Ramipedicella gen. nov. (Ralfsiales, Phaeophyceae): a new crustose brown algal genus including two species, Ramipedicella miniloba sp. nov. and Ramipedicella longicellularis comb. nov.
Authors: Oteng’o Antony Otinga , Won Boo Yeon , Cho Tae Oh
Published: June 2024

The Ralfsiaceae family, part of the Ralfsiales order and consisting of crustose brown algae, includes five genera: Analipus, Endoplura, Fissipedicella, Heteroralfsia, and Ralfsia. In this study, a novel crustose genus named Ramipedicella gen. nov. is introduced within the Ralfsiaceae based on molecular and morphological analyses. Phylogenetic analyses using both concatenated dataset (rbcL + COI-5P genes) and rbcL indicate that the crustose brown algae that we collected from Korea and Russia form a unique grouping within the Ralfsiaceae. This grouping is strongly supported by both bootstrap analysis and Bayesian posterior probabilities. The genetic differences in the rbcL and COI-5P sequences between Ramipedicella and other genera within Ralfsiaceae range from 6.7 to 9.3% for rbcL and from 15.5 to 20.8% for COI-5P. Ramipedicella is characterized by crustose thalli having new crusts growing on top of old ones with a hypothallial basal layer and erect perithallial filaments, long cells with width-to-length ratio of 1 : 1–16, single chloroplast per cell, plurangia with one to several sterile cells, one to several unangia produced from unicellular stalks or from the lateral-basal region to the paraphyses, and unangia arising sequencially in irregularly branched specialized filaments. Ramipedicella, the recently identified genus, comprises two distinct species. Ramipedicella miniloba, the type species, is distinguished by crusts with small lobes, numerous hair tufts, plurangia terminated by 1–4 sterile cells, and large oblong unangia. Ramipedicella longicellularis is identified by generally smooth crusts, absence of phaeophycean hairs, plurangia terminated by 1–2 apical sterile cells, and smaller mostly oblanceolate unangia.

Acalypha godesffiana is a plant used in conventional medicine for fungal-related illnesses. The plant‘s extracts were investigated in this study, antioxidant, and antimicrobial studies were conducted. Different models were employed in the antioxidant assay; serial dilution was utilized to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The extract from A. godseffiana was purified and characterized by chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, respectively. Three biologically active compounds, 3, 5-dihdroxylbenzoic acid (1), 3, 4, 5-trihydroxybenzoic acid (2), as well as Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (3), were identified for the first time in A. godseffiana. The extract and fractions exhibited varying scavenging capacities on different anti-oxidative models. The DPPH of MeOH (IC50= 0.51 mg mL^-1) was comparable with silymarine (SLY) IC50= 0.52 mg mL^-1 and better than gallic acid (GAL) IC50=1.95 mg mL^-1; the ABTS.+ of EtOAc column fraction (ACF, IC50=0.46 mg mL^-1) was comparable with standard SLY, IC50 = 0.47 mg mL^-1; and an OH radical of DCM, IC50= 0.10 mg mL^-1, was better than both standards (SLY, IC50= 6.30 mg mL^-1, GAL: IC50= 1.93 mg mL^-1). ACF showed superior antifungal activities (0.02 mg mL^-1) against Cryptococcus neoformans and Candida albicans, compared to ketoconazole (MIC of 0.250 mg mL^-1). Compounds (1-3) from A. godseffina reportedly displayed antioxidant and other activities. This study validated the antifungal potentials of A. godseffiana leaves and identified bioactive compounds. The extracts should be further investigated, and the compounds should be added to the existing library for further investigation of possible leads.

Published: June 2024

In this paper, considering a 1-dimensional physical system and Weierstrass’s polynomial approximation theorem, a polynomial version of Hamilton’s principle is constructed, in which, instead of considering numerous continuous curves that connect two fixed points, polynomials are considered representative of these curves. As a result of the mathematical development, a set of algebraic equations (Euler-Lagrange) are discovered, whose solutions do not correspond directly to the trajectory of the considered particle, but to the independent coefficients of a polynomial that represents this trajectory.

XIX əsrin sonu XX əsrin əvvəllərində Şimali Azərbaycanda həyata keçirilmiş aqrar qanunların hazırlanmasının tarixi və mahiyyət
Authors: Hüseynov Ceyhun
Published: June 2024

Məqalədə Şimali Azərbaycanda çarizmin ağalığı dövründə həyata keçirilmiş aqrar islahatların dövlət kəndlilərinin torpaq mülkiyyət münasibətlərini tənzimləmək məqsədilə verilməsindən bəhs olunur. Məqalədə qeyd olunur ki, çarizm ilk illərində yerli idarəçiliyə toxunmamağa, onu özünün müstəmləkəçi maraqlarına, bu məqsədlə qarşısına qoyduğu məsələlərin həllinə uyğunlaşdırmağa çalışmışdı. Vaxt keçdikçə isə çarizm ümumrusiya qanunvericiliyini tədricən burada da geniş şəkildə tətdiq etməyə başlayır. Sosial-iqtisadi münasibətlərin inkişafı, inzibati, məhkəmə-hüquq islahatlarının həlli çar hökümətinin bu münasibətlər qrupunu tənzimləyən yeni normativ aktlar qəbul etməsi zərurətini yaradır. Bu, bir tərəfdən onun ümumimperiya idarəçilik sisteminə daxil edilməsinə, digər tərəfdən də burada imperiyanın müstəmləkə idarəçilik aparatının təşkilini həyata keçirilməsinə xidmət etməli idi. Vurğulanır ki, XX əsrin əvvəlləri çarizmin Şimali Azərbaycanda daxili həyatının bütün sahələrində, o cümlədən də aqrar sahədə müstəmləkəçi siyasətinin son dərəcə gücləndiyi dövrdür. Bu dövrdə Rusiya imperiyasında kapitalizmin inkişafı, onun dərininə və eninə inkişafı çarizmin ucqar əyalətlərinə münasibətdə yeritdiyi aqrar siyasətinə də öz təsirini göstərdi. Bu dövrdə Şimali Azərbaycanda da aqrar sahədə ciddi dəyişikliklərin edilməsi zərurəti meydana çıxır. Belə vəziyyət Cənubi Qafqazda kəndlilərin müvəqqəti mükəlləfiyyətli vəziyyətinin ləğvi məsələsini zəruri edir. Nəticədə XX əsrin əvvəllərində bu istiqamətdə islahatlar həyata keçirilir ki, hesab edirik ki, bu islahatlar çar hakimiyyətinin inqilab qorxusu qarşısında atdığı məcburi addımlar olmuşdur. Bu səbəbdən də həmin dövrdə çarizmin aqrar siyasətinin araşdırılması həm də daxili siyasi vəziyyətin gərginləşməsinin başlıca səbəblərinin müəyyən edilməsi baxımışdan da xüsusi aktuallıq kəsb edir.

Published: June 2024

U publikaciji Saobraćaj, kriminalitet i urbana bezbednost opisano je nekoliko izazova važnih za predmetnu problematiku. Povećanje koncentracije stanovništva u urbanim područjima i ubrzan razvoj i ekspanzija gradova dovode u pitanje bezbednost kako učesnika u saobraćaju tako i ostatka stanovništva iz više razloga i na više različitih načina. Pojačan saobraćaj neretko dovodi do preopterećenja postojeće infrastrukture, koja često ne može da "ide u korak" sa rastućim potrebama kada je u pitanju prevoz ljudi i materijalnih dobara. Sve veća mobilnost ljudi u gradovima, uz nedovoljno korišćenje alternativnih prevoznih sredstava koja manje zagađuju životnu sredinu, dovodi do povećanog zagađenja pojedinih segmenata životne sredine - u prvom redu vazduha, ali posredno i vode i zemljišta. Otvoreno je i pitanje pravne zaštite bezbednosti kako učesnika u saobraćaju tako i ostalih stanovnika urbanih područja od njihovog nedozvoljenog ponašanja. Pojedina ponašanja učesnika u saobraćaju koja izazivaju znatno teže i društveno opasnije posledice mogu se okarakterisati kao krivična dela, te je u tom smislu od posebnog značaja za povećanje urbane bezbednosti relevantno njihovo otkrivanje, procesuiranje i sankcioniasnje. Imajući u vidu da se trenutno priprema novi tekst izmena i dopuna Zakona o bezbednosti saobraćaja na putevima aktuelnost i relevantnost ove teme u sadašnjem trenutku još više rastu, te zbog toga postoji naročita potreba da se ona sagleda iz multidisciplinarne perspektive i u skladu sa iskustvima iz drugih zemalja.

Environmental issues have become a global crisis. The amount of plastic used has relentlessly increased due to its advantages such as low cost production, lightweight, strength and durability. However, high usage of plastic contributes to microplastics, which are small particles that are difficult to detect and may be found in daily food and beverage consumption. Consequently, it is prone to accumulate in our body and affect our organs, including the brain. From recent studies, there are some possibilities that microplastics exposure can promote human brain damage, including Alzheimer’s. Due to microplastic concerns, this study aims to find out the relation between microplastics in daily food and beverage consumption and Alzheimer’s disease in the Thai population by collecting the responses (509 participants) through a questionnaire. The questionnaire uses Likert scales to evaluate the quantities of daily microplastics consumption, packaging, and Alzheimer assessment. As a result, the data revealed that microplastics consumption has a link to the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. We show that microplastics consumption and plastic containers are positively correlated for the Thai population. Consequently, in the course of time, it can lead to other causes of Alzheimer’s disease diagnosed when microplastics are accumulated in the human body. Moreover, it can raise social awareness through campaigns or policies on plastics used which have to be immediately reduced.

Published: June 2024

After-sales service is critical in selling products such as heavy equipment, which require maintenance from mechanics who understand the product. PT. Elang is one of Indonesia’s heavy equipment distributors and provides service support after purchase. The company currently struggles to manage the mechanics for repair requests from customers. Most of the time, the mechanics are already dispatched for regular maintenance, so repair requests are challenging to respond quickly to because of the unpredictable nature of the case. Complaints and bad reviews on after-sales service lead to lost customers and significant revenue loss. This study aims to identify the gap between current and ideal capacity, look for the root causes through the business process review to find where improvement is needed and provide a suitable solution for the company. The qualitative and quantitative methods were used in this study. The qualitative method was through interviews and discussions with the head of service support and the branch operation head to understand the situation and process. The business process related to the issue was then analysed with Business Process Modeling and Notation (BPMN) and the root cause was found using the Current Reality Tree (CRT) method. The quantitative method was through the sales and capacity data collected from the company. The best alternative solution was selected using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) using XLSTAT. This study showed that the problem happened because of two root causes: an inadequate number of mechanics and no sufficient integrated system to support the information flow through related divisions. Three alternative solutions were proposed based on the root causes. After the AHP calculation and analysis, the results were confirmed with the head of service support, and it was concluded that the solution that could be implemented in the company is providing service points with a priority result of 71.03%. The next alternative is to implement the cloud ERP system with a result of 15.04% and outsource mechanics with a result of 13.93%. With this solution, the company considered a long-term approach with more sustainability and scalability criteria than ease of implementation. The order of criteria priorities are cost, effectiveness, sustainability, scalability, and ease of implementation, with a consecutive result of 47.87%, 24.3%, 12.64%, 6.6%, and 8.59%.

Published: June 2024

The mining issue in North Maluku Province has become a primary focus, resulting in serious impacts on the economic and investment climate. Challenges related to mining activities include environmental damage, pollution, land conflicts, illegal operations, and licensing issues. The conflict of interest among mining companies, the government, and local communities is worsening over time due to unmet community needs and a shift from protests to resistance. Factors influencing the escalation of conflict include centralization in decision-making regarding mining resources by the government, reducing the participation of local communities in policy processes. Additionally, the lack of concern from mining companies for the welfare of local communities, particularly regarding compensation and social impacts, is also a cause of escalating conflict. This research utilized a descriptive qualitative method. The research findings indicate that community opposition to mining concession policies is caused by neglect of the rights of local communities in terms of compensation, discriminatory treatment in workforce recruitment, and environmental damage post-mining. This underscores the need for holistic and sustainable solutions to resolve mining conflicts in the region, considering the interests of all involved parties.

Published: June 2024

Despite ongoing efforts to improve reading skills, the number of individuals with below-level reading abilities, including adult beginning readers, continues to rise. This study addressed this issue by focusing on instructional-level readers who often lack support in existing interventions. The research was conducted at Tinurik National High School to determine the effectiveness of a multi-tiered intervention in enhancing intensive reading skills: interpreting the meaning of word/s based on the surrounding context, determining main ideas or themes, and making inferences among grade seven instructional level readers. It involved 72 participants, divided equally into controlled and experimental groups, which showed significant improvement for the experimental group but not the controlled group. Pre-test scores were similar between groups, while post-test scores demonstrated an important difference, indicating the effectiveness of multi-tiered intervention. These findings highlight the ongoing challenge of below-level reading abilities and the need for targeted support for instructional-level readers. Education Program Supervisors in English were recommended to propose in-service training that will equip teachers of English with the necessary skills needed to conduct multi-tiered interventions successfully. Future researchers are also suggested to include all the respondents up to Tier III to see if it would lead to better results.

Apert syndrome is a rare condition affecting the skull, face, hands and feet due to premature closure of cranial sutures. This case report describes a 6-month-old boy with Apert syndrome presenting with an abnormal head shape. A CT scan revealed craniosynostosis (fused sutures) of both the coronal and lambdoid sutures. Surgery involved removing a 1-2 cm section of the fused sutures along the coronal suture and across the lambdoid suture. After 4 months, the boy showed improvement in both clinical appearance and imaging scans. While Apert syndrome is typically classified based on the suture involved, the specific timing of surgery depends on various factors. This case demonstrates that minimally invasive surgery can be effective with minimal complications. Even though unilateral coronal and lambdoid suture fusion in Apert syndrome is uncommon, it can still be successfully treated with surgery.

The shift of power to the Taliban had negatively affected the mental health of businesswomen due to the current restrictions on women. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the experience of mental health issues among businesswomen in Afghanistan after the Taliban came to power. We examined the mental health challenges they faced, what helped deal with them, and what might be helpful and effective in supporting the mental health of Afghan businesswomen in the future. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted from February 17, 2022, to February 29, 2022, with 14 businesswomen (Owner/CEO) based in Kabul, Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif, Kandahar, and Jalalabad. Data were analysed using thematic analysis appraising businesswomen's mental health experiences and coping strategies. Four themes were identified: Theme 1: Stress and anxiety, Theme 2: Restrictions as to the main source of stress and anxiety, Theme 3: Courage to work and religious beliefs as coping strategies to relieve their stress, and Them 4: Support and ease of restriction can be effective to businesswomen's mental health wellbeing. The study concluded that the mental health of businesswomen was affected as the Taliban took control of the government. Participants reported increased stress and anxiety levels, based mainly on restrictions imposed on women after the Taliban came to power. The most helpful coping strategy was self-motivation to continue their businesses. They also reported a need for financial and technical support. Our findings can help the government and organizations that support women and their economic activities to identify effective measures to support businesswomen in challenging times.

Cooperative learning is an instructional method which enables students to actively participate and work together in a collaborative manner. This study examined the extent to which students participate in cooperative learning and assessed their level of welfare. Furthermore, it examined the relationship between the degree of students' collaborative learning and their level of overall welfare. The study employed a descriptive-correlational and causal research approach. The study employed a researcher-developed questionnaire and utilized stratified random sampling with Slovin's Formula. The survey was done to 294 pupils from East II District, Division of Cagayan de Oro City. The study employed descriptive statistics such as Mean and Standard Deviation, the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient to determine significant relationships, and multiple linear regression for finding which cooperative learning strategies singly or in combination influence/s the students’ well-being. Results reveal that students most of the time participate in cooperative learning strategies especially in peer support. Their overall well-being is most of the time moderate. Cooperative learning strategies have moderately positive correlation with the students’ overall well-being especially the peer support. Thus, cooperative learning strategies can be enhanced, implemented and integrated during teaching-learning delivery to holistically develop the overall students’ well-being.

A strong, repeated headache attack that is frequently accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound is the hallmark of the neurological condition known as migraine. Despite the availability of several treatments, there is still a demand for a quick and efficient way to reduce migraine symptoms. This study examines the creation and assessment of a brand-new intranasal spray version of the well-known migraine therapy Replax. This trial evaluates a brand-new intranasal Replax formulation for the treatment of acute migraines. A promising potency is shown by the pharmacokinetic studies, which show a rapid start of action with a Tmax of 15 minutes and a significant Cmax of about 1000 ng/mL. 40% high bioavailability confirms effective medication uptake. The 10 mg dosage is recommended by dose-response analysis as having a 9.5 effectiveness rating and a 5.0 tolerability rating. Positive toxicological findings back up safety. These preclinical discoveries must be confirmed in clinical studies in order to potentially improve acute migraine therapy choices

Indonesia's vast population diversity includes various ethnicities, tribes, customs, cultures, languages, and religions. Religious moderation is a crucial agenda for every citizen to achieve peaceful coexistence among religious communities. As a fundamental value of every religion, strengthening moderation is a program to foster moderate attitudes and thinking in society. This research aims to explore the reinforcement of religious moderation values through the role of Islamic religious counselors in the Office of Religious Affairs in Mandailing Natal Regency. This research utilizes descriptive qualitative research, specifically field research, which collects data from the field. Data collection methods include interviews with 16 Islamic religious counselors, four heads of the Office of Religious Affairs, and one officer in charge of Zakat and Waqf management. Observations were conducted at 4 locations to observe Islamic religious counselors' routine religious guidance activities. Other data sources were obtained from relevant documents. Data were analyzed inductively through data reduction, classification, presentation, analysis, and conclusion. The results of this study indicate that Islamic religious counselors play a strategic role in strengthening religious moderation in the Mandailing Natal Regency. They are essential in strengthening the understanding of religious moderation among the community through guidance and counseling activities. The materials counselors deliver in guidance and counseling activities include worship and transactions, teaching good social life, understanding of wasatiyyah or balance, and practicing religious teachings correctly. Religious counselors play roles as informative and educational, consultative, advocative, mediative, and facilitative. Informative and educational roles dominate their role in strengthening religious moderation and instilling religious moderation values to realize a moderate society. Counselors play a strategic role through routine religious gatherings, Friday sermons, the guidance of study circles, large-scale religious gatherings, religious activities in correctional institutions, content creation on social media, and nurturing religiously moderate villages. This study recommends further research to measure public interest in religious moderation from different perspectives.

Implementation of Additive Manufacturing Workflows into the Prosthetic & Orthotic Industry: Case Study
Authors:   Technological University of the Shannon, Athlone, Westmeath, Ireland, E Dagge
Published: June 2024

The prosthetic and orthotic industry is evolving to include innovative technologies as solutions to material and labour usage, promoting more sustainable and cleanly practises for both staff and patients. 3D printing, scanning and software have revolutionised the workflows of clinicians, technicians and administrative staff. To determine the reliability and repeatability of additive manufacturing (AM) workflows in a P&O company, observation and interview analyses were undertaken within an established prosthetic and orthotic company. The collection of data from these opportunities offered valuable insight into workflow sessions, employee feedback and predetermined themes regarding both traditional and AM processes for the production of Transtibial prosthetic sockets. Findings revealed the reduction in workflow sessions, technician resource and storage requirements when working through AM processes, although there is a lack of opportunity and resource for clinicians and technicians to learn how to use these digitalised processes. Although both traditional and 3D printed sockets receive similar feedback from patients regarding comfort and fit, discrepancies in socket weight were noted. A further understanding on the culture and adoption barriers of AM processes should be investigated for clinicians, technicians and administrative staff across a larger sample size.
