Authors: Eman Katja , Meško Gorazd
Published: June 2024

Ruralna kriminologija se osredotoča na pojav in oblike kriminalitete na podeželju. Podeželje, njegovi prebivalci in velikost skupnosti vplivajo na pojavnost kriminalitete in drugačnost posameznih oblik kriminalitete od klasičnih. Prvi začetki razvoja ruralne kriminologije v svetu segajo v drugo polovico 20. stoletja. V Sloveniji se je ta razvoj te 'nove' kriminološke veje začel veliko pozneje, a vendarle ne moremo mimo dejstva, da bi lahko marsikatero preteklo reprezetativno kriminološko študijo umestili (tudi) v polje ruralne kriminologije. Namen prispevka je predstaviti pregled študij v zadnjem desetletju, ki spadajo na področje ruralne kriminologije, in na ta način prikazati razvoj nove kriminološke smeri v slovenskem prostoru. Pregled pokaže raznoliko in vse bolj bogato zbirko kriminološkega raziskovanja, pri čemer izstopajo preučevanje policijskega dela v skupnosti, viktimizacij in ekološke kriminalitete v ruralnem okolju.

Authors: Prajapati Ankit S. , Shah Aditya I. , Parmar Jignesh J. , Patel Bhavika R. , Joseph Joice P.
Published: June 2024

Background: Dogs with epilepsy are among the most frequently seen neurological patients in veterinary practice. Phenobarbital is commonly used for therapeutic management. Calcium is one of the factors responsible for epileptic signs in canines. The current study was conducted to establish the correlation of calcium with epileptic signs in dogs. Methods: A total of twelve dogs that failed to respond to traditional management of epilepsy were included in the study. Hemato-biochemical estimation was carried out on the day of presentation from twelve dogs showing epilepsy signs. Calcium and nervine supplements were advised to the owner for a month. A re-examination was done after thirty days of treatment. Statistical analysis was done using the t-test method. Result: A significant difference was observed in serum calcium levels after treatment in all canines. No significant difference was detected in other parameters, which indicates nervous signs were due to low levels of calcium only. The study concluded that calcium can be considered for the treatment of epilepsy in canines.

Authors: Kim Bong-Hyun , Alamri Atif M. , AlQahtani Salman A.
Published: June 2024

Background: Soybean cultivation faces challenges from pest infestations, necessitating advanced and proactive pest management strategies. Traditional methods often lag in early detection, resulting in substantial crop losses. This study addresses this gap by employing machine learning, specifically sequential convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), to transform early pest detection in soybean fields. The approach leverages a comprehensive dataset comprising high-resolution crop images and environmental variables, offering insights into soybean ecosystems. Methods: Using CNNs for picture processing and RNNs for collecting temporal relationships in environmental factors, a complex deep learning model is created. The dataset contains 1050 images of soybeans including pests such as Anticarsia, Coccinellidae and without pests (healthy). The model is trained for 20 epochs. The model has been carefully validated for accuracy, sensitivity and efficacy in early insect identification. The diversity of the dataset ensures that the model may be adjusted to a range of soybean growing situations. Result: The outcomes demonstrate the model’s unparalleled effectiveness, routinely outperforming conventional techniques with an accuracy rate of 95%. Its exceptional sensitivity reduces financial and environmental expenses, highlighting its versatility in a range of soybean growing environments. In light of the difficult global agricultural landscape, this study offers a novel strategy for proactive and sustainable pest management, which is essential to guaranteeing strong soybean crop yields.

Authors: Chohan Afaq Hyder , Awad Jihad , Wahid Julahi Bin , Hamdan Wael
Published: June 2024

This study ventures into the interrelation of religious tradition and the design of floor coverings, specifically, the prayer mats utilized in the mandatory quintuple daily prayers by Muslims worldwide. Its primary focus is the relatively unfamiliar area of how religious sensitivities intersect with, and at times challenge, the development of patterns in mat design. Delving into the enigmatic metaphors intricately woven into these designs, the research reviewed the literature and illuminated the profound interplay between symbolic religious representation and the language of aesthetics. It additionally scrutinizes the potential conflicts that can emerge when sacred symbols are used unintentionally, underscoring the pivotal role of cultural consciousness and sensitivity in the realm of design. An extensive analysis of various prayer mats was conducted, dissecting their design composition to decipher any underlying symbolism. Upon its conclusion, the study proposed a set of 11 well-rounded recommendations, including the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). These guidelines are drafted through understanding of concept and design development, within the domain of Islamic aesthetics and religious sensitivities. These adaptable suggestions, backed by thorough research, hold the potential to act as valuable guidance for those involved in the designing and manufacturing industry of prayer mats, thus shaping the future direction of this art form.

RESEARCH ON THE INFLUENCE OF SECONDARY HEAT TREATMENT PARAMETERS ON THE MARTENSITIC STAINLESS STEEL PROPERTIES
Authors:   “Transilvania” University of Brasov, Romania, STOICANESCU Maria
Published: June 2024

Heat treatments constitute an essential stage for the possibilities of improving the mechanical properties of metal materials, such as hardness, mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Any change in the heat treatment parameters, such as temperature, holding time and cooling rate, can influence the structure of the steel and cause the formation of the martensitic phase, responsible for increasing the hardness. Moreover, if the temperature and time are correctly selected, they can help eliminate internal stresses and imperfections in the crystalline structure, thus improving the strength and ductility of the steel. The hardness of martensitic stainless steel needs to be increased to meet the performance requirements for the applications in which it is used, such as the manufacture of knives, surgical instruments or components for the aerospace industry. Martensitic stainless steel is valued for its corrosion resistance and relatively low cost, and the hardness increase is essential to ensure proper operation and durability of products manufactured from this material. Any change in the martensitic stainless steel heat treatment parameters has a significant impact on increasing the hardness and improving its mechanical properties, being essential for obtaining the desired performance in various industrial applications.

Relationship with place: a transformative and sustainable pedagogy for the planet
Authors: Singleton Julie
Published: June 2024

The central hypothesis of this conceptual commentary is that place-based educational approaches that use local environments as the learning context could not only provide needed educational reforms but also sow the seeds of sustainable behaviors of future generations. Furthermore, natural environments are offered as an optimal context for the emotional and sensory-rich needs of learning experiences that transform eco-paradigms and develop land ethics. The supporting literature examines the nexus of environmental education, place-based approaches, benefits of nature experience, and transformational learning. Breaking barriers of current economic, political, and educational institutions requires integrative approaches—head, hand, and heart—to transform eco-paradigms. A conceptual diagram is offered to visualize this holistic approach. The rich context of a natural place enhances the esthetic quality of a learning experience and is dependent on the relationships within the community of learners, sensory interaction with the learning context or place, the emotion that arouses, thoughts derived from reflection on the experience, and the depth of engagement and behavior change that ensues. I support the power of place as a learning context through personal narrative. Although place-based education can be applied in any community and educational setting, I offer my own cultural perspective as an American with a critique of the consumer culture of the place in which I reside and the effect of rigid institutions on eco-values. Place-based educational reforms could develop caring for local environments leading to young people striving to preserve the places in which they have learned and come to care about.

Virtual Clinical Trials
Authors: Mell Steven P. , Hornung Alexander L. , Yuh Catherine , Samartzis Dino
Published: June 2024

In silico clinical trials, particularly when augmented with artificial intelligence methods, represent an innovative approach with much to offer, particularly in the musculoskeletal field. They are a cost-effective, efficient, and ethical means of evaluating treatments and interventions by supplementing and/or augmenting traditional randomized controlled trials (RCTs). While they are not a panacea and should not replace traditional RCTs, their integration into the research process promises to accelerate medical advancements and improve patient outcomes. To accomplish this, a multidisciplinary approach is needed, and collaboration is instrumental. With advances in computing and analytical prowess, and by adhering to the tenets of team science, realization of such a novel integrative approach toward clinical trials may not be far from providing far-reaching contributions to medical research. As such, by harnessing the power of in silico clinical trials, investigators can potentially unlock new possibilities in treatment and intervention for ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.
Perturbative unitarity and the wavefunction of the Universe
Authors: Albayrak Soner , Benincasa Paolo , Duaso Pueyo Carlos
Published: June 2024

Unitarity of time evolution is one of the basic principles constraining physical processes. Its consequences in the perturbative Bunch-Davies wavefunction in cosmology have been formulated in terms of the cosmological optical theorem. In this paper, we re-analyse perturbative unitarity for the Bunch-Davies wavefunction, focusing on: i)i) the role of the i\epsiloniϵ-prescription and its compatibility with the requirement of unitarity; ii)ii) the origin of the different ``cutting rules’’; iii)iii) the emergence of the flat-space optical theorem from the cosmological one. We take the combinatorial point of view of the cosmological polytopes, which provide a first-principle description for a large class of scalar graphs contributing to the wavefunctional. The requirement of the positivity of the geometry together with the preservation of its orientation determine the i\epsiloniϵ-prescription. In kinematic space it translates into giving a small negative imaginary part to all the energies, making the wavefunction coefficients well-defined for any value of their real part along the real axis. Unitarity is instead encoded into a non-convex part of the cosmological polytope, which we name . The cosmological optical theorem emerges as the equivalence between a specific polytope subdivision of the optical polytope and its triangulations, each of which provides different cutting rules. The flat-space optical theorem instead emerges from the non-convexity of the optical polytope. On the more mathematical side, we provide two definitions of this non-convex geometry, none of them based on the idea of the non-convex geometry as a union of convex ones.

Published: June 2024

Indonesia is still having difficulty overcoming the classic problems of wide disparities in wealth and high levels of extreme poverty.  One solution that is an instrument for dealing with the phenomenon of extreme poverty and wealth disparities is zakat management. This study analyzes Zakat management's influence on fiscal, economic growth, and poverty on human development in Banten Province. This research uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive analysis method. The location of this research is in Banten Province. The data of sekunder with secondary data interval 2010-2019, and descriptive analysis method. The data collection using observation and documentation techniques. At the same time, the data analysis is through the classical assumption test, normality test and hypothesis testing. This study's results indicate that Zakat has a higher and positive and significant correlation between the variables of zakat on the human development index (HDI), meaning that the higher the role of zakat, the higher the Human Development Index (HDI). The enormous potential of zakat, if managed with correct, healthy, and accountable management, will be able to lift Mustahiq from the brink of poverty and become economically and fiscally empowered in the domestic family so that it can increase the human development index significantly. Therefore, related parties, namely the local government, BAZNAS, and the muzakki, are recommended to synergize to develop human development policy programs in Banten province.

FAT4 Mutation is Related to Tumor Mutation Burden and Favorable Prognosis in Gastric Cancer
Authors: Li Qingqing , Chu Yuxin , Yao Yi , Song Qibin
Published: June 2024

Objective:

This study aimed to investigate the frequently mutated genes in Gastric Cancer
(GC), assess their association with Tumor Mutation Burden (TMB) and the patients’ survival,
and identify the potential biomarkers for tailored therapy.

Methods:

Simple somatic mutation data of GC were collected from the TCGA and ICGC databases.
The high-frequency mutated genes were identified from both datasets. The samples were initially
dichotomized into wild-type and mutation groups based on the status of overlapping genes.
TMB difference between the two groups was evaluated by the Mann-Whitney U-test. Survival difference
between the two groups was compared by the Kaplan-Meier method with a log-rank test.
The prognostic value of the target gene was assessed by the Cox proportional hazards model. The
signaling pathways involved in FAT4 mutation were identified by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis
(GSEA). The fractions of different tumor-infiltrating immune cells were calculated by the CIBERSORT
algorithm.

Results:

21 overlapping genes with frequent mutation were identified in both datasets. Mutation
of these genes was significantly associated with higher TMB (P<0.05) in GC. The survival of the
FAT4 mutation group was superior to the wild-type group. FAT4 mutation was also identified as
an independent favorable prognostic factor for the GC patients. GSEA indicated that FAT4 mutation
activated the signaling pathways involved in energy metabolism. Finally, CD4 memory-activated
T cells, follicular helper T cells, and gamma delta T cells were significantly more enriched,
while naïve B cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs) were significantly less enriched in the FAT4 mutation
group (P<0.05).

Conclusion:

FAT4 mutation is relevant to TMB and favorable prognosis in GC, which may become
a useful biomarker for immunotherapy of GC patients.

Alzheimer's disease or associated dementia (ADRD).

:

The presence of amyloid-α protein senile plaques, intracellular tau protein neurofibrillary tangles (NfTs), neurodegeneration,
and neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) characterizes Alzheimer's disease. NPS is common in
persons with Alzheimer's disease dementia, although its presentation varies widely. Gender differences might
explain this clinical variability.

:

The fundamental goal of this review is to 1) emphasize the function of old age, sex, and gender in the development
of Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and ADRD, and 2) explain the importance of sexual hormones, education,
and APOE (Apolipoprotein E) status. This is a narrative summary of new ideas and concepts on the differences
in the chance of developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease between men and women.

:

A more thorough examination of risk and protective variables in both men and women might hasten research
into the epidemiology of neurological illnesses such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Similarly, future preventive
efforts should target men and women separately.

modern culture and the pleasant change in South Korea, with lanterns (yudeung) becoming the cultural icon for the festival. A visual analysis of this iconic lantern later produced a brilliant idea for fabric manipulation in the form of sashiko. The purpose of the research is to describe the process of stilation resulting from the visual analysis which was inspired by Jinju Namgang Yudeung Festival, a well-established tradition of the local community. This is process-based research focusing on the application of the stilation technique to fabric materials. The research found that the process of stilation resulting from the visual analysis of the lanterns using natural colors resulted in color palettes. The color was added to the thread used in the experiments. The visual analysis also resulted in stilation in the form of a geometric shape applied to fabric materials using a textile manipulation called the technique of sashiko. Sashiko is a technique of hand sewing adopted to embellish a fashion product. The garment manufactured using the technique of sashiko inspired by Jinju Namgang Yudeung Festival can be developed into ready-made products in the form of citywears.

Mushrooms are a dietary source of vitamin D2 because they contain ergosterol, which can be converted into vitamin D2 after exposure to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. UVB irradiated mushrooms contain high active vitamin D. A regular consumption of UVB‐irradiated mushrooms has been shown to be effective to increase bone calcification and modulation of host immunity. This study aimed to enhance vitamin D2 formation in oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) using UVB irradiation and to assess its effect on dexamethasone induced osteoporosis in mice.)  Oyster mushrooms were UVB-irradiated with a UVB lamp at the dose of 8.01 J/cm2 - 24.03 J/cm2. The vitamin D2 level was measured using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with calciferol as the standard. The powder of vitamin D enriched oyster mushroom powder was then referred to as Oyster-D. Dexamethasone (0.01 ml/g) induced osteoporosis in BALB/c mice. The number of osteoclasts, osteoblasts, osteocytes of the femur was assessed using hematoxylin-eosin staining. Serum calcium level was measured with spectrophotometry. UVB irradiation with the dose of 48.06 J/cm2 resulted in a highest vitamin D2 concentration, up to 11.333 µg/g. There was a significant increase in the number of osteoclasts, osteoblasts and serum calcium levels and decrease in the number of osteoclasts. The results suggest that UVB irradiation increased vitamin D2 levels in white oyster mushrooms and vitamin D enriched oyster mushrooms have a potential as anti-osteoporosis.

La geofísica como parte de las ciencias de la Tierra, basa sus conclusiones en el estudio de las propiedades físicas universales aplicadas a nuestro planeta. Las prospecciones geofísicas permiten la caracterización del interior de la Tierra, tanto de manera somera como profunda, midiendo diferentes características de las rocas y fluidos en cada exploración. La magnetometría es uno de los dos métodos conocidos como métodos potenciales: esto significa que su ámbito de estudio es natural, ya que se encarga de medir el campo magnético y sus variaciones, originadas por un cuerpo rocoso magnetizado debido a su susceptibilidad magnética. Las prospecciones magnetométricas tienen como propósito caracterizar el subsuelo para la exploración y caracterización de yacimientos minerales, incluyendo los de diamantes y los sistemas petroleros. Sin embargo, para lograrlo, es necesario tomar datos en campo con un magnetómetro, llevando a cabo una prospección magnetométrica sobre la zona de interés para obtener datos de estudio. Es importante destacar que existen causas que pueden asociarse con un error en la toma de datos, por lo que es necesario realizar correcciones para eliminar la influencia de estos factores en las mediciones. Las correcciones que se deben considerar son: temporal, instrumental, por elevación, por topografía y espaciales. Este artículo tiene como principal aportación explicar la importancia y los usos de las correcciones utilizadas en prospecciones magnetométricas en los datos obtenidos en campo, fungiendo como un primer acercamiento a este tópico para estudiantes de geociencias.
Luisa Valenzuela. Premio Internacional Carlos Fuentes a la Creación Literaria en el Idioma Español
Authors: Valenzuela Luisa
Published: June 2024

La escritura de Luisa Valenzuela corre por el cuerpo y se trasluce en las páginas. Tanto sus novelas […] como sus libros de cuentos y de microrrelatos […] parecen exhibir un secreto que las palabras mismas se empeñan en ocultar. […] Valenzuela no le teme al secreto, y menos aun a la oscuridad. “Basta que se apague una luz —y a mi paso se apagan muchas luces— para que yo insista en seguir adelante con la esperanza de descubrir el recodo donde se agazapa el miedo.” Pero por suerte la literatura es patria portátil. “Se dice que no somos nadie si nuestro reflejo no figura en un cuento.” En este sentido, es fácil, y desafiante, encontrar el reflejo de la realidad argentina en varios cuentos de Valenzuela.
