Authors: Afni Yan Syah  , Neiliel Fitriana Anies
Published: January 2025

As the elderly undergo physiological alterations during the aging process and are exposed to environmental influences that heighten their vulnerability to diseases, understanding the role of family support in mitigating health challenges, particularly hypertension, becomes paramount. Our research employed a correlational descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach to elucidate this relationship. Utilizing purposive sampling, we meticulously selected a cohort of 62 elderly individuals as our study participants. Data acquisition entailed the utilization of a comprehensive questionnaire comprising 25 statement items. Additionally, guided interviews, grounded in the questionnaire, were conducted. The rigorous statistical analysis was executed using the chi-square formula, applying a 95% confidence interval and an alpha (α) level of 0.05. The outcomes of this meticulous analysis yielded a compelling revelation—a statistically significant association between family support and the efficacy of hypertension control among the elderly (P value = 0.003, P value ≤ α). This empirical evidence underscores the pivotal role of family support in the management of hypertension among the elderly demographic. Consequently, we advocate for heightened attention and augmented support from families, underlining the importance of their involvement in the hypertension control efforts for the elderly. Such support can serve as a critical safeguard against the onset of complications stemming from hypertension within the elderly population. In summary, this study accentuates the significance of family support as a mitigating factor in the management of hypertension among the elderly, ultimately contributing to the avoidance of hypertension-related complications in this vulnerable demographic.

Peer support programmes have been shown to have a substantial impact on  overall HIV outreach efforts. Peer educators have played an essential part in the HIV response, despite a number of challenges and negative experiences throughout implementation. These adverse experiences are often ignored and poorly documented, leaving peer educators vulnerable. The aim of this study is to explore the negative experiences of peer educators in reaching out to men who have sex with men (MSM). This research used a qualitative phenomenological study design. This study involved thirty-six peer educators that work in several non-government organizations. Three focus group discussions were conducted in September 2023 to Desember 2023. The Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen data analytical method was used for data analysis. Five themes regarding the peer educators’ negative experiences whilst interacting with the MSM population were obtained from the data analysis. The themes were experiencing discriminatory conduct, abuse, humiliation, cancel the meeting,  and incurred personal expenses. In order to accomplish HIV prevention through case finding and treatment milestones, peer educators are dedicated to working with a wide range of MSM groups. Peer educators  may need to develop certain coping mechanisms to get through uncomfortable circumstances. In order to deal with unpleasant situations sensibly, it is vital to provide adequate support and protection recommendations, as well as   having awareness of self-defence mechanisms.

Authors: Hassan Diyari A.
Published: January 2025

Matrix factorization techniques, such as Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), Eigenvalue Decomposition (EVD), and QR decomposition, have long been pivotal in computational mathematics, particularly for applications in signal processing, machine learning, and data analysis. With the growing size and complexity of data, traditional methods of matrix factorization face challenges in efficiency and scalability. This paper investigates the implementation of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for computing the singular values of both real and complex matrices. By leveraging the hierarchical feature extraction capabilities of CNNs, this approach aims to enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and scalability of SVD calculations. The proposed CNN-based SVD method is evaluated against the conventional SVD algorithm, demonstrating superior performance in terms of computational time and accuracy.
Normal Aging on Empathy: A Mini Review
Authors:   Korea Gerontol Res Soc, Park Min
Published: January 2025

Empathy, or the ability to understand and respond to other people’s thoughts and feelings, can change as we age. Many researchers are studying how empathy changes with age, because it has a significant impact on a person’s mental health and interpersonal relationships. This paper briefly reviews the research on empathy conducted to date in older adults undergoing normal aging, with a particular focus on inconsistent findings. The reasons for the discrepancies in the results were mainly found in the research methods, such as different types of empathy or different empathy measurement tools. In the latter part of this paper, several methodological supplements were suggested to accurately account for the aging process of empathy. They were to develop standardized instruments of measuring empathy, to compare levels of empathy across different age groups, to study empathy levels in older adults longitudinally, to compare the aging of empathy across genders, and to take brain images immediately while an empathy task is presented.

Is BigSMILES the Friend of Polymer Machine Learning?
Authors: Qiu Haoke , Sun Zhao-Yan
Published: January 2025

Machine learning (ML) has become a powerful tool in polymer science, with its success strongly relying on effective structural representations of polymers. While the Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) is widely used due to its simplicity, it was originally designed for small molecules and struggles to capture the stochastic nature of polymers. Recently, BigSMILES has been introduced as a more compact and versatile representation of polymer structures. However, the relative performance of SMILES and BigSMILES in polymer ML tasks remains unexplored. In this study, we systematically evaluate SMILES and BigSMILES across 12 polymer-related tasks, including property prediction and inverse design, utilizing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and large language models (LLMs). Our results show that BigSMILES enables faster training times due to its reduced token complexity, and achieves comparable or superior performance to SMILES in certain predictive tasks. Moreover, BigSMILES more accurately encodes chemical information and monomer connectivity for copolymers within LLM frameworks. This work serves as a starting point for a comprehensive evaluation of SMILES and BigSMILES in polymer ML applications, highlighting the potential of BigSMILES to streamline and accelerate polymer informatics workflows, particularly for complex systems like copolymers and polymer composites. Looking ahead, advancing polymer representations to integrate polymer chain structure, phase morphology, and processing parameters will be crucial for capturing the multifaceted relationships between polymer structure and properties, driving more accurate and efficient modeling.
Projecting the environmental effects of expanded copper-nickel mining in the United States for the energy transition: The role of prospective, holistic life cycle analysis demonstrated with a Minnesota case study
Authors: Trost Jenna , Dunn Jennifer
Published: January 2025

Decarbonization technologies promise to mitigate climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, these technologies contain critical minerals, such as nickel, lithium, and cobalt. Minerals mining can have substantial environmental and social impacts. Prospective LCA can be used to project these impacts and compare them among proposed mines, especially in nations like the U.S. that aim to increase domestic minerals production. We therefore conducted a cradle-to-grave LCA on a proposed copper-nickel mine in the United States. Flotation processing was the largest contributor to energy, water, and greenhouse gas burdens. Wastewater treatment and closure also have sizeable energy and water demands. We also estimate that it takes decades or centuries to restore the carbon stock loss from land clearing from reclamation efforts. This analysis highlights the importance of often-neglected elements of a mine’s life cycle in LCA such as land clearing, wastewater treatment, reclamation, and closure.

Drug discovery starts with the identification of a ‘hit’ compound that, following a long and expensive optimization process, evolves into a drug candidate. Bigger screening collections increase the odds of finding more and better hits. For this reason, large pharmaceutical companies have invested heavily in high-throughput screening (HTS) collections that can contain several million compounds. However, this figure pales in comparison with the emergent on-demand chemical collections, which have recently reached the trillion scale. These chemical collections are potentially transformative for drug discovery, as they could deliver many diverse and high-quality hits, even reaching lead-like starting points. But, first, it will be necessary to develop computational tools capable of efficiently navigating such massive virtual collections. To address this challenge, we have conceived a novel strategy that explores the chemical universe from the bottom up, performing a systematic search on the fragment space (exploration phase), to then mine the most promising areas of on-demand collections (exploitation phase). Using a hierarchy of increasingly sophisticated computational methods to remove false positives, we maximize the success probability and minimize the overall computational cost. A basic implementation of the concept has enabled us to validate the strategy prospectively, allowing the identification of new BRD4 (BD1) binders with potencies comparable to stablished drug candidates.

Published: January 2025

Herein we investigate the interaction of the highly porous metal-organic framework DUT-76(Cu) with different C1-C4 hydrocarbons at their boiling points. During adsorption the structure appeared to simply decompose however the true process is a transition into an amorphous phase with a smaller total pore volume. We used a combination of multi cycle physisorption experiments of different hydrocarbons (methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, n-butane, 1,3-butadiene) with X-ray diffraction, SEM imaging and total scattering to investigate this transition. With this methodology we were able to gain a deep understanding of occurring phenomena on the crystal structure, the local structure as well as the macroscopic behavior of the material and recognized a stronger transition with increasing chain length, number of double bonds and adsorption/desorption cycles due to adsorption stress. These multi cycle adsorption experiments can be utilized as a semi-quantitative tool to test the mechanical stability of highly sensitive mesoporous materials.
Improvement in Compaction Characteristics of Lateritic Gravel Soils Stabilised with Locust Bean Pod Extract
Authors: Vordoagu J. J. , Adams C. A.
Published: January 2025

Purpose: The compaction properties of chemically stabilised weak or marginal sub-grade soils were investigated using locust bean pod extract (LBPE) derived from soaked locust bean pods (LBP).
Design/Methodology/Approach: An experimental approach was employed. The extract was created by pounding and soaking the locust bean pods for varying durations, ranging from 1 day to 28 days. Soil samples for the research were collected from three different sources: Agyei Ano South and behind the AVIC laboratory of Sunyani Technical University, both located in the Sunyani East Municipality and Fiapre in the Sunyani West Municipality. The tests were conducted at the geotechnical engineering laboratory (AVIC lab) of Sunyani Technical University (STU) in the Bono Region of Ghana. Chemical and elemental analyses were carried out.
Findings: The experimental findings indicate that the locust bean pod extract generally raises the Maximum Dry Density (MDD) and reduces the Optimum Moisture Content (OMC). In comparison, the control specimen recorded 1.97g/cm3 and 13.10% for MDD and OMC, respectively. The soil's dry density increases with the extract's rising concentration. Concentrations of 50g/l and 100g/l of extract notably increased the MDD of the stabilised soil compared to the control.
Research Limitation: Soil samples were collected from three locations, so the findings cannot be generalised.
 Practical Implication: This research can enhance eco-friendly soil stabilisation methods, consequently reducing carbon footprints.
Social Implication: This study will assist road construction industry policymakers in finding sustainable ways of improving the compaction characteristics of lateritic gravel soils using a biopolymer such as a locust bean pod extract.
Originality/ Value: This study is grounded in cost reduction and sustainability in road construction, specifically in resource use and earth movement reduction.

Published: January 2025

With the in-depth development of economic integration and globalization, international trade exchanges are becoming increasingly frequent. Many people engaged in international trade and investment have found that the economic ties between China and the United States are closer and more interdependent. At the same time, some people have also found that cultural differences between countries have hindered the normal play of their ability to conduct effective negotiations. The United States is a superpower with a developed economy, while China is a rising country in the world. There are obvious cultural differences and conflicts between the two countries. Due to the influence of cultural differences, business negotiations have become more complex. As a major element of international business negotiations, culture is often compared to the tip of the iceberg. Its hidden dimension determines the success or failure of international business affairs. Therefore, researching the topic of Sino-US business negotiations from a cultural perspective is of great significance. This article conducts research based on Hofstede’s cultural dimensions by comparing the influences of different cultural dimensions and respective cultural characteristics of China and the United States on business negotiations. At the same time, the article further conducts a case analysis of Sino-US business negotiations from ten aspects of Salacuse’s business negotiations. Through comparative analysis and research, the author aims to clarify the cultural differences between China and the United States and the impacts on Sino-US business negotiations caused by these differences, provide some feasible suggestions for people engaged in Sino-US business negotiations, and try to provide some reference opinions for people who will study this topic in the future.

Published: January 2025

With the deepening global digital transformation, companies are increasingly relying on new technologies and innovative models in their operations to enhance competitiveness and reduce operational costs. At the same time, the impact of digital transformation on corporate tax avoidance behavior has gradually become a topic of growing interest among academics and policymakers. This study aims to explore how digital transformation influences corporate tax avoidance behavior by enhancing information transparency, optimizing tax management, and applying advanced technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence. Through a review of relevant literature and formulation of research hypotheses, this paper further analyzes the impact of digital transformation on multinational corporate tax planning and cross-border tax avoidance strategies. The research suggests that while digital transformation can significantly reduce opportunities for tax avoidance, it may also introduce new compliance risks. Finally, this paper offers policy recommendations to help governments and companies address tax challenges in the process of digital transformation and achieve more transparent and efficient tax management.

Published: January 2025

This article explores the evolution of competency-based education in the UK, particularly its implications for professional training of linguists. It begins by highlighting the necessity of enhancing students’ cognitive abilities to foster engagement in shaping their educational and social environments. The article examines the shift from traditional academic evaluations to competency assessments promoted by the Bologna Process, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary standards in education. It provides a historical overview of the UK’s competency-based approach, tracing its origins in the 1980s and the development of National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) and national occupational standards. These frameworks, established through stakeholder collaboration, ensure that graduates possess the necessary competencies for their professional roles. The article further discusses the integration of digital skills and adaptability into competency frameworks, reflecting the demands of a rapidly changing labour market. By analysing the UK experience, this study offers insights into enhancing the training of future linguists in Ukraine, aligning educational outcomes with real-world demands while maintaining high standards of professional competency.

Worldwide groundwater extraction has increased dramatically during the past six decades. Water scarcity will affect 1.4 billion people in around 48 nations by 2025. Iraq is experiencing an unparalleled and severe water crisis due to various factors, including climate changes, insufficient rainfall, the policies of neighboring nations, and the increased demand resulting from population expansion. The research area (Dibdiba aquifer) is in Iraq, in the middle between Najaf and Karbala. It was observed that farmers had abandoned numerous wells as a result of the decline in their water levels. Groundwater is the water resource for the region, and due to high agricultural and industrial demand, the Dibdiba aquifer is facing groundwater depletion. This study utilized climatic datasets projected under two scenarios obtained from CMIP6 and the Groundwater Modeling System (GMS). The objective was to evaluate the effect of projected climate change on the quantity of groundwater. Artificial recharge of treated wastewater from the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Kerbala into groundwater aquifers has proven to be an effective method of mitigating groundwater depletion while providing a sustainable water supply. Eleven wells are distributed randomly within the research area; each of them is located within the unconfined aquifer. The groundwater levels in these wells were measured in situ from July 2023 to April 2024. The model was run for steady and unsteady flow conditions, and calibration at steady state was carried out using the groundwater head data for (7) wells. These seven wells were selected to represent the whole research region as well as shorten the simulation run duration in the calibration process. On the other hand, the transient calibration was performed employing measurements of groundwater heads for four wells. Calibration and validation results indicated convergence between the observed and simulated heads. The modeling findings showed that the increment in groundwater level is about 1.0, 1.85, and 2.25 m with artificial recharge of about 6000 m³/day, 9000 m³/day, and 12000 m³/day, respectively. The above findings illustrate the ability of artificial recharge as a highly promising strategy for addressing the water depletion and environmental issues in the Dibdiba aquifer. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2024-010-016 Full Text: PDF
