Slip Rate for the Rose Canyon Fault through San Diego, California, Based on Analysis of GPS Data: Evidence for a Potential Rose Canyon–San Miguel-Vallecitos Fault Connection?
Authors: Singleton Drake M. , Maloney Jillian M. , Agnew Duncan C. , Rockwell Thomas K.
Published: July 2024

The Rose Canyon fault is the southern extension of the larger Newport–Inglewood–Rose Canyon fault system, which represents a major structural boundary in the Inner Continental Borderland (ICB) offshore of southern California. Ten to fifteen percent of total plate boundary motion in southern California is thought to be accommodated by the faults of the ICB, but the exact distribution of slip is uncertain. With an onshore segment, the Rose Canyon fault offers an opportunity to measure the slip rate using traditional geodetic methods. In this study, we use Global Positioning System (GPS) surface velocities from a combined campaign and continuous GPS network to constrain elastic models of the Rose Canyon fault. We then compare the observed surface velocities with proposed conceptual models of regional fault connections that facilitate the transfer of slip into the Rose Canyon fault to assess how well the observations are explained by the models. The results of elastic half-space models suggest that the Rose Canyon fault may be slipping toward the higher end of geologic estimates, with the preferred model indicating a slip rate of 2.4 ± 0.5 mm/yr. Although limited in terms of near-fault benchmarks, we find an improved model fit using an asymmetrical elastic half-space model and a higher slip rate, suggesting a potential rheological contrast across the Rose Canyon fault, similar to observations from the northern Newport–Inglewood fault segments. Observed GPS surface velocities, background seismicity, and gravity anomalies south of San Diego Bay point toward a more easterly trace for the Rose Canyon fault, suggesting a possible connection with the San Miguel–Vallecitos fault system. Such a connection could increase the potential rupture lengths of future earthquakes and have important consequences for regional seismic hazards.

Authors: Jeremiah Udoh Gertrude
Published: July 2024

This study was to determine the relationship between family values and verbal bullying among secondary school adolescents in Uyo Local Education Committee. Two research questions were raised, and two hypotheses formulated and tested at .05 level of significant. A correlational survey design was adopted while the population of the study comprised all 6,613 senior secondary Two (SS2) students in the fifteen (15) public secondary schools in the study area. A sample size of 378 senior secondary two (SS2) was selected for the study using Taro Yamane sampling formulae. To get adequate sampled schools, balloting method of random sampling was used to select 9 public secondary schools out of 15. Thereafter, 42 students were selected from each of the sampled schools using the same random sampling method for instrument administration. The researchers’ structured questionnaire titled “Family Values and Verbal Bullying among Secondary School Adolescents Questionnaire (FVVBSSAQ)” was used for data collection, with reliability co-efficient of .72 and .85 respectively for the independent and dependent variables, using Cronbach Alpha statistics. Data generated from the field was analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) statistics, and the study findings revealed a very low negative and insignificant relationship between mutual respect, tolerance, and verbal bullying secondary school adolescents. Conclusion was drawn from the findings while the research recommended among other things that, parents should cultivate the attitude of mutual respect in the family by addressing members with a polite, cheerful, and amiable voice so that young ones can speak to others with dignity and respect while in school.

Escalating entrepreneurs is expected to provide more job opportunities that contributes in diminishing social and economic issues. This study aims to analyze the interconnectedness between teacher creativity and entrepreneurial intention as well as investigate the role of entrepreneurship education. This research adopted a descriptive correlational study that aims to analyze the nexus between variables using a quantitative approach study. This current study engaged primary data from an online questionnaire that was performed online to vocational students with five Likert scale choices. Furthermore, the statistical analysis was conducted using partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with the use of SmartPLS 3.0 software. The outcomes of this study indicate that teacher creativity takes a crucial role in determining students’ intention of being entrepreneurs. These results imply that teachers’ creativity in classroom learning to inspire, motivate, and encourage students can support entrepreneurship education as well as students’ entrepreneurial intention. The basic rationale is that entrepreneurship education is subjected to several aspects including cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Keywords: Entrepreneurship education, Entrepreneurial intention, Students’ intention, Teacher’s creativity

Conceptualizing Multi-Level Legal Systems to Address Global Food Security: The Hard Law-Soft Law Interface of International Law and Corporate Social Responsibility
Authors: Chen Ying , Sheehy Benedict
Published: July 2024

This Article argues that the Zero Hunger Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) has been threatened by a combination of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and climate change. Given that global food security is a well-recognized and fundamental human right worthy of protection, this Article examines the existing legal regimes—from the international, through the regional and national to organizational levels. Recognizing the critical role of commercial activities and enterprises in global food security, this Article argues that there is a need for direct, purposeful engagement by companies of all sizes, from multinational corporations ("MNCs") to small and midsize enterprises (“SMEs”) to address global food security. This Article demonstrates that it can be done as a form of corporate social responsibility (“CSR”), a global policy with national and organizational implementations. It then examines India and Indonesia as two jurisdictions where CSR laws have been enacted to address the specific needs of those societies and especially those members of society without sufficient resources to address their own needs. After a brief review of the legislation, a range of potential reforms are developed which would support a return to the zero hunger trajectory.
Is Justice Possible in Russian Courts? A Case Study of Housing Disputes
Authors: Hendley Kathryn
Published: July 2024

How do Russian judges go about achieving justice? This question is explored through a case study of disputes initiated by vulnerable (often elderly) actors who seek to invalidate contracts for the sale of their residences on the grounds that they were tricked or duped. The analysis is grounded in a set of ninety recent judicial opinions from courts across Russia. It reveals that, despite a longstanding distaste for witnesses, judges are open to hearing testimony in these cases. But they rarely rely on such evidence in making their decisions, preferring instead to prioritize documentary evidence. Doing so revealed that Russian judges’ understanding of justice is primarily procedural. Their preference for documentary evidence allowed them to meet the quick turnaround times mandated by the procedural codes. This, in turn, served judges’ career interests by allowing them to compile a track record that makes them strong candidates for promotion.
Association of Lockdown Policies with COVID-19 Early Case Growth Rates in the United States
Authors: Barefield Anna
Published: July 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted essentially the entire globe, infecting over 755 million people worldwide and resulting in over 6.8 million deaths to date. Different countries have had varying levels of success in managing the spread of the pandemic, and the success or lack thereof could be explained by the impact of government intervention, such as lockdown policies, mask mandates, and social distancing advisories. The United States responded particularly poorly to the early pandemic outbreak as compared to other similar countries, due to its lack of coordinated planning to implement effective policies, with large variations in action taken by each state. Therefore, it is of interest to understand how varying levels of policy implementation are related to early COVID-19 outcomes. In this study, we consider whether the state's emergency declaration was before the national level and the number of other lockdown policies that are in effect on a given day. We also disaggregate the effect of other lockdown policies into between-state and within-state effects. Then we use linear mixed effects model to examine the association between early COVID-19 growth rates and lockdown policies during the initial lockdown period after accounting for statewide demographic variables. Due to multicollinearity issues between demographic variables, we present two final models that account for these variables separately.
Conflict
Authors: Koch Rachel
Published: July 2024

Anthropology has many goals, such as understanding our evolutionary origins, distinctiveness as a species, and vast diversity of social existence worldwide and through time. The current study looks at the feasibility of combining the theoretical and applied methods of anthropology and conflict resolution to help future anthropologists do better anthropology. I created an interdisciplinary mixed methods study to gauge the compatibility and possibility of integration. Recruiting participants from a conflict management course on having difficult conversations, pre- and post-discussion surveys were given to measure how well narrative inquiry can help those on differing sides of a difficult conversation understand one another. Additionally, participant observations were used to understand the facilitator's role during these difficult conversations and how that approach works for gaining an insider's perspective. Both the surveys and participant observations were evaluated to demonstrate the importance of theoretical definitions between the two disciplines. The results show that participants acknowledged the importance of understanding different cultures and experiences during difficult conversations. Many of the participants embraced the process of narrative inquiry by having curiosity during difficult conversations. Having these conversations and being able to have these conversations respectfully was valued. This research supports the value of cultural competency in conflict management training and facilitator participation, while also suggesting that anthropology needs to reframe conflict as a potential good. Together, conflict management and applied anthropology can, and should, co-inform inquiry of and between groups in conflict.
Transformation Pathways of Lanthanide-Free Mn-Al-Ga-X Alloys Where X = Co, Fe, and Ni
Authors: Palmer Shane L.
Published: July 2024

Ubiquitous rare-earth, (i.e. lanthanide) permanent magnets (PMs) composed of Nd-Fe-B are the strongest PMs on the market. However, limited mineral sources, complex elemental separation, and supply chain volatility have shifted the lanthanides to critical material status. Inexpensive, readily available materials are sought to fill an energy product performance gap to reduce dependency on lanthanide PMs. Frequently, lanthanide PMs are used in applications where their energy products are excessively high. Mn-Al based permanent magnets offer a potential substitute for PM applications which do not require the high energy product of a lanthanide PM. MnAl alloys form a metastable ferromagnetic tetragonal L10-ordered τ-phase. Previous work has shown that adding Ga to the Mn-Al alloy stabilizes the τ-phase. This study investigates the impact of alloying Mn-Al-Ga with 3d transition metals Fe, Co, and Ni on the stability and formation mechanisms of the τ-phase and the resulting magnetic properties. The stabilizing effect of Ga on τ-phase was verified and the ternary alloy’s magnetization was measured up to M2T = 482 kA m−1. The phase transformation from γ2 to τ was observed microscopically. The Co-added alloy did not stabilize the τphase. Two transformation mechanisms were demonstrated for the Fe-added samples, namely a displacive and a diffusional transformation. The magnetization measured higher after the displacive transformation than after the diffusional transformation M2T = 272 kA m−1 and M2T = 200 kA m−1, respectively. The solubility limit of the Ni into τ-phase was exceeded at 3 at.-% and a primitive cubic κ-phase formed. The Ni addition stabilized the τ-phase. The highest magnetization measured for the Ni-added samples was M2T = 416 kA m−1. A new transformation pathway was demonstrated by first annealing a Ni-added alloy at 800 °C for 24 hours which forms nearly single κ-phase, followed by a second anneal at 500 °C for 24 hours at which the τ-phase formed with some remaining κ-phase. This is a new transformation mechanism since it involves a phase reaction from κ to τ. The energy product of Ni-added Mn-Al-Ga alloys exceeded that of the ternary Mn-Al-Ga alloy by a factor of 3. The κ-phase in the Ni-added alloy functions to hinder magnetic domain boundary motion, thus providing a method for magnetic hardening (i.e. increasing the coercivity), and, thus increasing the energy product.

Authors: Anugrah Muhammad Yoga Dwi , Halifa Haqqi  , Pinandoyo Dimas Bayu
Published: July 2024

This study provides an in-depth analysis of how the South Sulawesi Provincial Government's paradiplomacy initiatives have impacted agricultural product exports to Egypt. The research employs a conceptual framework integrating Paradiplomacy and International Trade, aiming to assess the effects of these policies on export volumes. Utilizing a descriptive research methodology, the study elucidated the strategies and roles adopted by the regional government in promoting exports. Key findings indicated that South Sulawesi engages in global paradiplomacy, functioning as a facilitator to enhance export performance. Effective promotional strategies identified included personal selling, public relations through webinars and training sessions, and participation in trade exhibitions. By applying the concept of global diplomacy, the Government of South Sulawesi Province can use its autonomy to establish trade relations and expand market access to Egypt, thereby improving the export performance of local agricultural products. The research highlights the crucial role of regional governments in boosting agricultural exports through infrastructure development and service improvements. By adopting global paradiplomacy, the South Sulawesi Government has successfully established trade relations and expanded market access to Egypt, resulting in a notable increase in agricultural export volumes. This study underscores the significant positive contributions of paradiplomacy to regional economic growth through international trade expansion.
Role of mirabegron in the management of overactive bladder: a knowledge, attitude, and practice survey among Indian healthcare professionals
Authors: Agrawal Madhu Sudan , Pandey Sanjay , Kumar Prem , Sahu Vikram , Patil Dinesh
Published: July 2024

Background: Overactive bladder (OAB) is identified by urinary urgency, with or without urgency urinary incontinence, typically accompanied by increased daytime urinary frequency and nocturia, in the absence of proven infection or other evident pathology.
Methods: A cross-sectional, observational, questionnaire-based knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) survey was conducted across India from January 2022 to July 2023 to understand OAB therapy through 14 multiple–choice questions containing questionnaire shared with 1, 029 healthcare professionals (HCPs), including urologists, surgeons, nephrologists, and consulting physicians.
Results: The HCPs see 10-20% of patients daily in clinical practice, wherein 5-10% are females. Patients usually consult general practitioners first and then other specialists. Although anticholinergics are commonly used in the management of OAB, HCPs reported that side effects (57%) and the high cost of therapy (43%) were mainly responsible for discontinuing anticholinergics. Mirabegron was preferred by 67% of HCPs in the treatment of these patients. Mirabegron is also preferred as a first-line treatment by all HCPs in this survey. It is prescribed for 6-12 months, has a response rate of >75% in clinical practice, and offers a more favourable side-effect profile compared to anticholinergics. In cases where patients do not respond to anticholinergics or experience treatment failure, a combination therapy of mirabegron and solifenacin is preferred.
Conclusions: The survey highlights the use of mirabegron as a first-line treatment for OAB, its better side-effect profile, and its role in combination therapy with solifenacin for patients unresponsive to anticholinergics, ultimately improving the quality of life of patients.

In this paper, we present a novel approach for managing the file system in Linux using a voice assistant. Our system allows users to perform file system operations such as creating directories, renaming files, and deleting files by issuing voice commands. We develop a voice assistant using Python libraries and integrate it with the file system in Linux. The voice assistant is capable of understanding natural language and executing commands based on the user’s voice inputs. We conduct experiments to evaluate the performance of the system and demonstrate that our approach is effective and efficient in managing the file system using voice commands. Our system can enhance the accessibility and usability of the file system in Linux for individuals with disabilities or those who prefer a hands-free approach to file management.
Lo histórico y lo utópico en la propuesta política de Luis Villoro
Authors: Lafalla Facundo
Published: July 2024

El presente trabajo aborda la obra escrita reciente del filósofo mexicano Luis Villoro (nacido en 1922). Se propone indagar la producción de este autor en función de los contextos históricos en los que participa, así como analizar su propuesta programática en relación al movimiento zapatista de fines de siglo XX. El abordaje de su obra se realizará desde la metodología desarrollada por Arturo Roig desde el campo de la historia de las ideas latinoamericanas, mediante la cual el texto escrito aparece inmerso en el contexto mismo de producción. Estas herramientas permiten leer los “otros discursos”, las voces soterradas. De esta manera, la conflictividad social se hace presente en la producción escrita de Luis Villoro. Este posicionamiento teórico y metodológico permitirá analizar cómo el mexicano recurre a casos o ejemplos históricos – pasados o presentes – que le permitirán ir elaborando una teoría del cambio social, en la que cimentará la idea de Estado plural. El intelectual logrará deconstruir conceptualmente el Estado surgido tras la Revolución Mexicana, un típico caso de Estado-nación moderno, recurriendo a las experiencias sociales concretas que lo cuestionan, tales como el Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional.
Actitudes, conocimientos y creencias de los adolescentes sobre la violencia de pareja en Cuenca-Ecuador
Authors: Pinos G. , Jerves M. , Pinos V. , Maenhout S. , Enzlin P.
Published: July 2024

El objetivo de esta investigación fue el de explorar las actitudes, conocimientos y creencias de los adolescentes sobre la violencia de pareja. La información fue recolectada a través del desarrollo de doce grupos focales con adolescentes varones y mujeres de colegios de la ciudad de Cuenca. La discusión en los grupos fue dirigida a partir de una guía que contenía dos historias sobre casos de violencia de pareja. Los datos fueron analizados utilizando Análisis Temático. Los resultados evidencian la existencia de una incoherencia entre el rechazo manifiesto de los adolescentes hacia la violencia y la justificación implícita que ellos expresan con respecto a ciertas situaciones de violencia dentro de la pareja. El estudio pone de manifiesto que a pesar de que los adolescentes tienen conocimientos sobre la violencia y sus factores de riesgo, existe aun la presencia de mitos y creencias que están arraigados en el pensamiento y que justifican y normalizan la violencia de pareja.
Historia, política y ficción: algunos ejemplos de la literatura latinoamericana contemporánea
Authors: Casarin Marcelo , Vigna Diego
Published: July 2024

Frente a la afirmación de Rosalba Campra de que las lecturas son tan epocales como la escritura, donde cada circunstancia histórica hace que determinados textos, contemporáneos o no, se lean como esclarecedores del momento en que se los lee, presentamos este trabajo desde un interrogante central: ¿cuáles son las relaciones entre historia, política y ficción que se lía en los textos? Hoy sabemos que, más allá de toda ilusión o automatismo crítico al que refiere con razón Campra, existe una textualidad o, mejor, unos corpora que nos hablan con insistencia de los acontecimientos vinculados a las dictaduras que asolaron hasta las últimas décadas del siglo XX lo que se conoce como el Cono Sur de América latina. Tales producciones no solo se han materializado en novelas y cuentos, sino también en poesía, cine, pintura, teatro, etc. En este sentido, las relaciones entre los creadores de ficciones y sus épocas encuentran una justificación empírica que, en distintos casos, nos permite vislumbrar una percepción o interpretación de esos discursos que circulan en un tiempo y en un lugar determinados. El artículo discute el valor de la categoría “novela histórica” y retoma la propuesta de Linda Hutcheon, “metaficción historiográfica”, que permite dar cuenta de la relación interdiscursiva historia / ficción. Se presentan tres novelas chilenas (Lemebel, Bolaño y Tatiana Lobo Wiehoff) que re-visitan los acontecimientos de la última dictadura chilena.
Los géneros académicos en la universidad: la tesis como la escritura de la investigación
Authors: Cordero Guillermo , Riera Gloria , Villavicencio Manuel
Published: July 2024

La tesis es un ritual de iniciación: el paso de la condición de estudiante a la condición de miembro de derecho de las tribus académicas. Sin embargo, su valor simbólico en el mundo académico no ha sido proporcional a la atención que ha recibido como objeto discursivo. Sigue siendo “an under-theorized, under-studied, and under-taught text” (Paré et at., 2009:179). Precisamente, por esta limitada estela de reflexiones que avanzan a ritmo lento, (Borsinger 2007, Tamola 2007 en lengua española; Bunton 1998, Paré et al. 2009, Swales 2005 en lengua inglesa), existen serias confusiones, que requieren un estudio esclarecedor. Sin duda, este desconocimiento de las reglas de su “ceremonia” lo han convertido por antonomasia en el género de más difícil ejecución (la tasa de cumplimento de la tesis en el mundo anglófono es menor al 50%, en Ecuador solo logrado en un porcentaje que llega al 14%, podemos ya imaginar lo que ocurre en otros países del medio hispano). Puntualizamos que la ejecución de este género no se edifica únicamente sobre las nociones textuales y la ingeniería humana capaz de orientar las prácticas. No obstante, revisar su escena discursiva desde la investigación y luego referir su relación con el contexto social e histórico pueden contribuir a aclarar la visión.

Published: July 2024

Earthquake-induced Crush Syndrome and subsequent acute kidney injury are important issues that affect morbidity and mortality. Fasciotomies prolong the length of stay in intensive care unit in patients with Compartment Syndrome due to the complications it causes. Infections and delayed wound healing are two common complications among these. Therefore, early closure of fasciotomy wounds is recommended. Although different treatments can be applied for treatment of wounds, data on this subject in pediatric patients are insufficient. We report the case of a 15-year-old girl who developed acute renal failure due to crush syndrome after being trapped in the wreckage for 9 hours and undergoing fasciotomy procedures for four locations, in the left extremity, two in the thigh and two in the cruris. Hemodialysis, antihypertensive, and antibiotic treatment were administered during the intensive care follow-up due to acute kidney injury, hypertension, and sepsis. With negative pressure therapy, silver alginate wound dressing, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, all wounds epithelialized within two months. However, rehabilitation for drop foot syndrome caused by nerve cuts in the left extremity continues.

Authors: Lungade Prashant , Karadbhajne Sneha V.
Published: July 2024

The most common method used for collection of mahua flowers by burning the undergrowth under mahua trees which often caused forest fire and loss or flora and fauna of nature. The comparative analysis of traditional flower collection vis-a-vis net collection was analyzed during the research. The most significant benefits were on prices, time reduction and quality of products. These benefits will encourage the adoption of this technique by forest dwelling communities for mahua collection. The net collected flowers sold at 110 to 120 ₹ compared with 25–30 ₹ with traditional collection (p < 5 ₹). The time and manpower reduced by 80% (p < 1%) in net collection. Total 87.95 K MT mahua exported from India with value of 70.01 million USD in FY 2022. India rank 7th in global export of Mahua in 2022. Nearly 75% of entire tribal household in the country are involved in the collection of mahua flower which will contributes up to 30% of their annual cash income. To handle mahua around 11 lakh peoples are directly involved and 20 to 25 lakh peoples indirectly involved. To produce liquid >90% mahua utilized in India. During this research post-harvest unit operations also standardized. New food product like syrup, cookies, jam, spread, jelly, gummies, energy drink, beverages, hard-boiled candies development were done, and stabilities were conducted with utilization of 10% to 60% mahua.

Published: July 2024

Unia Europejska aktywnie uczestniczy w międzynarodowych inicjatywach na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju obszarów miejskich. Nie inaczej jest jeśli chodzi o współpracę z Indiami, które to zmagają się z wieloma problemami dotykającymi miast, takich jak ochrona środowiska, brak rozwiniętej infrastruktury, zarządzanie gospodarką miejską. Celem rozdziału jest przedstawienie unijno-indyjskiej współpracy na rzecz rozwoju miast w Indiach. Ukazuje on wpływ międzynarodowych porozumień na wypracowywaną przez lata unijną politykę wobec obszarów miejskich, wspólne inicjatywy UE i Indii, a także wybrane przykłady działań, które realnie przyczyniły się do rozwoju indyjskich miast. Dzięki temu możliwa jest odpowiedź na pytania dotyczące założeń unijnej polityki dotyczącej miast, unijno-indyjskiej współpracy na rzecz rozwoju obszarów miejskich i jej efektów.

Background / Objective. In the state of Yucatan, Mexico, 10 million forest plants were produced in the last five years for various conservation and restoration actions. The main limitations in the production of these plants in nursery are disease induced by the genus Fusarium spp., that cause stem and root rots and plant production losses of up to 50%. The objective of the work was to identify the causal agent associated with stem and root rot and necrosis of cedar (Cedrela odorata) and mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) and their in vitro sensitivity to conventional fungicides. Materials and Methods. C. odorata and S. macrophylla plants were collected at three and six weeks of germination, respectively, with symptoms of necrosis and rot indicated; from where five fungal isolates were obtained and morphologically and molecularly identified. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of spores and the Minimum Lethal Concentration (MLC) of six conventional fungicides of recurrent application in the region (Prochloraz, Carbendazim, Benomyl, Fosetyl Al, Captan and Mancozeb) were determined in vitro by the microdilution method and validate their effectiveness and viability in the management of this problematic. Results. The morphology and molecular sequences of the isolates were similar to the reported for Fusarium solani. The MIC of F. solani spores for Prochloraz, Carbendazim, Benomyl, Captan and Mancozeb were 2.44. 11.38, 14.06, 7.81 and 7.81 ppm, respectively; Fosetyl Al, did not inhibit spore germination normal mycelial growth of the fungus was observed at the concentration evaluated. Conclusion. Prochloraz and Mancozeb had the lowest MLC with 2.44 and 7.81 ppm, respectively.

Background: Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a widespread and contagious disease affecting various animal species. The effectiveness of control tools is impeded by the high costs associated with animal experimentation, an incomplete understanding of host immune systems and a scarcity of immunological reagents. 99mTc radiopharmaceuticals, known for their versatile chemistry, play a crucial role in preclinical research and drug development. The objective of the present study was to develop nuclear medicine-enabled strategies for custom designing and uplifting engineered vaccines, specifically nanoparticle vaccines, in guinea pigs. Methods: In the present study, we elucidate the technique used for direct radiolabelling of the FMD vaccine and its subsequent distribution within guinea pigs. The study involved the evaluation of 99mTc-radiolabeling and quality control, as well as the disposition of the 99mTc-FMD vaccine in guinea pigs. Result: Radiolabelling and stability studies showed 95.00% efficiency and 92.93% stability. The study demonstrated that the 99mTc-FMD vaccine showed increased uptake and delayed clearance from lymphoid organs, particularly the spleen and prescapular lymph node, compared to plain 99mTc.

This study aims to determine the influence of macro and microeconomic variables on the profitability of Sharia Commercial Banks in Indonesia. The sample determination in this study used purposive sampling techniques and produced seven samples of Sharia Commercial Banks used in this study. The dependent variables used consist of inflation, interest rates, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Non-Performing Financing (NPF), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR), and Operating Expense to Operating Income (OEOI). The data analysis method used is panel data regression with e-views software version 12. The results of this study show that interest rate, GDP, and OEOI variables partially have a significant effect on the profitability of Sharia Commercial Banks, while inflation, NPF, and FDR variables partially do not have a significant effect on the profitability of Sharia Commercial Banks in Indonesia in 2017-2021. Meanwhile, based on the results of simultaneous tests, it was found that the variables of inflation, interest rates, GDP, NPF, FDR, and OEOI had a significant effect on the profitability of Sharia Commercial Banking 2017-2021.
