Indigenous people believe and practice food taboos as part of the traditional culture. Food taboo is associated with cultural beliefs and passed on to every generation, in particular for pregnant women The food taboos in the Ammatoa Kajang and Kaluppini indigenous communities are specific for pregnant and lactating mothers. This study aimed to explore the traditional knowledge and food taboo among indigenous peoples in South Sulawesi concerning maternal health. The data collection was used in-depth interviews (IDIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs) guideline. We asked for the explanation behind the food taboos practice that still exists in these two communities. We found that these two communities believed and practice food taboo that could hinder them from various nutritious food that is important during pregnancy and lactating period. We recommend the alternative food utilization of nutritious, safe, do not against the traditional beliefs, available, and affordable local food sources for pregnant mothers.
Effect of Mulberry (Morus alba) Leaf Tea on Low-Density Lipoprotein and Malondialdehyde Levels in Dyslipidemic Rats
Authors: Virdias Tia Rahmania
Published: August 2024

A high-fat diet can cause abnormal levels of lipids in the blood, known as dyslipidemia. One of the most significant markers of dyslipidemia is a surge in Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) levels. LDL can be rapidly oxidized, which can result in oxidative stress. This increase in oxidative stress can lead to lipid peroxidation, ultimately producing Malondialdehyde (MDA). One way to prevent increased LDL and MDA levels is by consuming mulberry leaf tea. Mulberry leaves (Morus alba) are known to contain phenols and flavonoids, which act as antioxidants and are able to provide protection against hyperlipidemia and oxidative stress. This research aimed to analyze the effect of mulberry leaf tea administration on LDL and MDA levels in dyslipidemic Sprague Dawley rats on a high-fat diet. True experimental research with randomized pre-post test control group design was used in this study. This study used 30 male Sprague Dawley rats. After 21 days of intervention, LDL levels were analyzed using the CHOD-PAP method, and MDA levels were analyzed using the ELISA method. IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software was used for statistical analysis. The administration of 36 mg and 72 mg of mulberry leaf tea for 21 days was able to have a significant effect on reducing LDL (p = 0.000) and MDA (p = 0.000) levels. The administration of 72mg of mulberry leaf tea was considered more effective in reducing LDL levels by 57.47% and reducing MDA levels by 77.41% compared to the 36 mg dose. On a high-fat diet, Mulberry leaf tea has been shown to reduce LDL and MDA levels in dyslipidemic Sprague Dawley ratsKeywords: Mulberry Leaf; LDL; Oxidative Stress; Dyslipidemia

Arrowroot contains antioxidants that can potentially reduce d-galactose-induced aging in the pancreas and kidneys.  This study aimed to determine the effect of arrowroot administration on the histomorphology of the pancreas and kidneys of mice induced by d-galactose. Experimental research that has been conducted in 2023 using Musculus Balb/C mice were divided into four groups as follows: a healthy control group (HC), negative control (NC) with d-galactose induction & standard feed, P1 and P2 groups with d-galactose inductions & 45% and 60% arrowroot feed. Histological slides were stained with haematoxylins-eosin. Data analysis was performed using a microscope at a magnification of 40 × 10. Severe signs of aging in pancreas (cell atrophy, cytoplasmic vacuolation, necrosis, congestion, and inflammation) were observed in NC and P1 groups and minimal signs in P2 compared to HC group. The damage mean (%) of tubular, glomerular kidney and inflammation scores were 52.46 ± 1.46, 76.66 ± 9.87, 67.99 ± 2.12, and 60.93 ± 0.55 (p=0.005); 62.64 ± 11.13, 70.48 ± 13.32, 71.25 ± 8.04, and 65.53 ±14.26, (p=0.707); 8.75 ± 2.5, 27.25 ± 4.57, 8 ± 7.25, and 13.5 ± 6.19, (p=0.001), respectively. In conclusion, administration of arrowroot affects the histomorphology features of the pancreas and kidneys of mice induced by aging using d-galactose.

Understanding the diet of a species provides important information on various aspects of its ecology. Diet studies are few on the reptile species, of which observation frequency is very low, due to the great difficulty of sampling. We investigated the diet of Orientocoluber spinalis, a long and slender small grassland snake with high rarity and a high extinction risk across northeast Asian countries, by applying regurgitated stomach content analysis and metabarcoding analysis using a developed O. spinalis blocking primer. Among 19 diet samples, which were mainly collected on islands along the west coast of the Korean Peninsula, we determined the food sources of 13 samples, which consisted of four small vertebrate species, the Tsushima smooth skink (Scincella vandenburghi), mountain grass lizard (Takydromus wolteri), Japanese keelback (Hebius vibakari), and lesser white-toothed shrew (Crocidura shantungensis). Among them, O. spinalis most frequently fed on S. vandenburghi (10 of 13 cases). Our results show that O. spinalis mainly forages small reptiles and mammals in grasslands adjoining to lowland forests and could be beneficial for conservation in the field and rearing of this vulnerable species in the facilities.

Este trabajo examina una experiencia de articulación intra e intersectorial que se desarrolló entre 1989 y 1991, en la escala local con  eje en la casa de altos estudios de Río Cuarto y en vinculación con diversas entidades gremiales. Nos interesa indagar cuándo, cómo  y por qué se produjo un giro de estrategia que supuso el pasaje de acciones contenciosas sectoriales y fragmentarias como venían  desarrollándose hasta entonces, hacia convergencias en la lucha social entre los más importantes sindicatos de la educación argentina, incluidas las delegaciones locales. Se analizan tres dimensiones. Una de carácter social, son los actores de la  convergencia. Otra dimensión es temporal, corresponde a los momentos en los cuales se desarrollaron los encuentros. El tercer  aspecto comprende la dimensión de la experiencia y se corresponden con los repertorios de la articulación. Para ello se trabajó con  una importante base de datos que registró meticulosamente in formación acerca de las distintas instancias en que se registró esa  experiencia de articulación, a partir de fuentes periodísticas, una revista universitaria de época y testimonios recogidos mediante  entrevistas semiestructuradas. En las conclusiones del artículo se enfatiza principalmente en el aporte conceptual y empírico de esta investigación.

Published: August 2024

Autonomy is one of the critical developmental tasks in adolescence, however, research frequently focuses on the behavioral and emotional aspects. Meanwhile, the cognitive aspect of autonomy is equally important to be examined and promoted. Hence, this study aimed to examine the relationship between parenting style as a factor that significantly plays a role in the development of adolescent independence, and cognitive autonomy. This study involved 308 high-school Indonesian adolescents (58.1% female, 41.9% male). We used multiple regression analysis to examine the hypotheses. The study found that supportive parenting (warmth, structure, and autonomy support) was significantly associated with cognitive autonomy (p<0.001), while unsupportive parenting (rejection, chaos, and coercion) did not correlate with cognitive autonomy. In addition, there was no difference between male and female adolescents in cognitive autonomy levels. These results can be further utilized for future research and/or to develop intervention programs for adolescents' ability to think independently.

Published: August 2024

This study empirically analyzed the direct effects between IP consultant competence and IP performance, and technology transfer performance and the dual mediation effect between R&D activities and IP creation activities using 259 researchers who have received IP consulting services. The results show that consultant competence has a positive(+) effect on technology transfer performance, consultant competence has a positive(+) effect on R&D performance and IP creation activities, and IP creation activities have a positive(+) effect on technology transfer performance. The results also show that R&D activities mediate the relationship between consultant competence and IP creation activities, and IP creation activities mediate the relationship between R&D activities and technology transfer performance(dual mediation effect). However, R&D activities do not have a positive(+) effect on technology transfer performance, and R&D activities do not mediate the relationship between consultant competence and technology transfer performance.
Based on the findings of this study, research implications can suggested can be follows. For the purpose of maximizing consulting effectiveness in the future, it is necessary to have not only basic competencies such as gathering requirements according to the research situation, performing patent work consistently, and responding quickly and proactively, but also specialized competencies such as strategic thinking, analysis and alternative presentation, communication, and report skills.
Emotionally and Cognitively Drained: Longitudinal Associations Between Cognitive Emotion Regulation and Parental Burnout From Between- and Within-Person Perspectives

Published: August 2024

Emotion regulation has recently been suggested to predict parental burnout, a prevalent syndrome in parenting. However, a substantial theory-method gap exists, as most studies have relied on cross-sectional data and between-person analyses. In this study, we aimed to illuminate the longitudinal associations between two powerful cognitive emotion regulation strategies––cognitive reappraisal and rumination––and parental burnout from both between- and within-person perspectives. We hypothesized reciprocal relationships between the use of emotion regulation strategies and parental burnout. To fulfil our objectives, we conducted a 9-month three-wave panel study (September 2023 – May 2024) in a sample of 1,373 U.S. parents and analyzed the data with latent cross-lagged panel models (CLPMs) and random intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPMs). Our between-person (i.e., CLPM) analysis revealed a positive reciprocal relationship between interindividual rumination and parental burnout. Cognitive reappraisal negatively predicted parental burnout, but not vice versa. Our within-person (i.e., RI-CLPM) results showed that temporal changes in parents’ levels of parental burnout predicted subsequent changes in their use of both emotion regulation strategies, but not vice versa. These findings imply that the role of emotion regulation in parental burnout should be reconsidered. Early identification of parents at risk of emotion regulation difficulties and parental burnout is critical. Parenting programs that incorporate emotion regulation strategies, including those that are less reliant on cognitive processes, may be particularly beneficial. Future studies are encouraged to replicate our findings using more diverse samples that vary in parents’ age, cultural background, ethnicity, education, and socioeconomic status.
Casual Structural Modeling of Survey Questionnaires via a Bootstrapped Ordinal Bayesian Network Approach
Authors: Ni Yang , Chen Su , Wang Zeya
Published: August 2024

Survey questionnaires are commonly used by psychologists and social scientists to measure various latent traits of study subjects. Various causal inference methods such as the potential outcome framework and structural equation models have been used to infer causal effects. However, the majority of these methods assume the knowledge of true causal structure, which is unknown for many applications in psychological and social sciences. This calls for alternative causal approaches for analyzing such questionnaire data. Bayesian networks are a promising option as they do not require causal structure to be known a priori but learn it objectively from data. Although we have seen some recent successes of using Bayesian networks to discover causality for psychological questionnaire data, their techniques tend to suffer from causal non-identifiability with observational data. In this paper, we propose the use of a state-of-the-art Bayesian network that is proven to be fully identifiable for observational ordinal data. We develop a causal structure learning algorithm based on an asymptotically justified BIC score function, a hill-climbing search strategy, and the bootstrapping technique, which is able to not only identify a unique causal structure but also quantify the associated uncertainty. Using simulation studies, we demonstrate the power of the proposed learning algorithm by comparing it with alternative Bayesian network methods. For illustration, we consider a dataset from a psychological study of the functional relationships among the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression. Without any prior knowledge, the proposed algorithm reveals some plausible causal relationships. This paper is accompanied by a user-friendly open-source R package OrdCD on CRAN.

Authors: Parry Douglas A. , Toth Roland
Published: August 2024

As smartphones become increasingly integral to daily life, their importance for understanding human behavior will only continue to grow. Recognizing the potential of objective data on smartphone usage and the challenges associated with raw Android event log data, this paper provides a foundational guide for extracting meaningful measures of smartphone usage from such data. We describe the characteristics of Android event log data, define key smartphone usage types (i.e., glances, sessions, and episodes), and briefly discuss common challenges in handling this data. The core of the paper presents a detailed practical procedure to extract relevant usage metrics from raw Android event logs, described visually, verbally, and with pseudo-code (with sample data and code in R available in the supplementary materials). This guide aims to equip researchers with the knowledge and tools to effectively utilize Android event log data, facilitating deeper insights into smartphone use patterns and their effects. By increasing access to and use of this type of data, this paper seeks to broaden our understanding of digital behavior and communication.
The cultural evolution of distortion in music (and other norms of mixed appeal)
Authors: Bryant Gregory A. , Smaldino Paul E.
Published: August 2024

Music traditions worldwide are subject to remarkable diversity but the origins of this variation are not well understood. Musical behaviour is the product of a multicomponent collection of abilities, some possibly evolved for music but most derived from traits serving nonmusical functions. Cultural evolution has stitched together these systems, generating variable normative practices across cultures and musical genres. Here, we describe the cultural evolution of musical distortion, a noisy manipulation of instrumental and vocal timbre that emulates nonlinear phenomena (NLP) present in the vocal signals of many animals. We suggest that listeners’ sensitivity to NLP has facilitated technological developments for altering musical instruments and singing with distortion, which continues to evolve culturally via the need for groups to both coordinate internally and differentiate themselves from other groups. To support this idea we present an agent-based model of norm evolution illustrating possible dynamics of continuous traits such as timbral distortion in music, dependent on i) a functional optimum, ii) intra-group cohesion and inter-group differentiation, and iii) groupishness for assortment and social learning. This account illustrates how cultural transmission dynamics can lead to diversity in musical sounds and genres, and also provides a more general explanation for the emergence of subgroup-differentiating norms.
A Cross-Sectional Study on the Relationship between Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Executive Functions, and Event-Related Potentials Moderated by Severity of Symptoms in Patients with Major Depressive Disorder

Published: August 2024

Background: Depression affects around 280 million people globally, with a lifetime prevalence of 20% for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Core MDD symptoms are impaired executive functions (EF), such as inhibitory cognitive control. Higher cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is linked to improved cognitive function, but whether this also applies to MDD patients remains unclear.Methods: This study examined the relationship between CRF and EF in 66 MDD patients (33 females, aged 18-63). Participants underwent VO2max testing after completing a modified flanker task while event-related potentials (ERPs) (N1, N2, P3) were assessed. Hierarchical multiple linear regressions were used to analyze the influence of CRF on flanker performance and ERP components, controlling for MDD severity, negative affect, and demographic variables.Results: CRF explained 15% of the variance in flanker performance (∆R² = .15, p < .001), with the final model (including all variables) explaining 47%. This positive effect of CRF was independent of MDD severity. Concerning the ERP correlates, CRF showed a medium effect on N1 latency at O1 (β = -.32, p = .04, ∆R² = .07, p = .04) with shorter latency in fitter individuals.Limitations: The study's cross-sectional design limits causal inference. Conclusions: CRF was positively related to inhibitory cognitive control in MDD patients, independent of symptom severity, suggesting cognitive benefits from being physically active. Earlier N1-peaks in fitter individuals suggest potential higher neural efficiency. Limited associations with ERP components indicate complex neural mechanisms, warranting further research. MDD treatments integrating physical exercise could contribute to improving cognitive health and mitigate decline.

This study aims to analyze the effect of climate change disclosure and political connections on corporate financial performance with president director’s financial expertise as a moderator. Currently, climate change disclosure involves various parties, especially companies that are increasingly aware of the impact of climate change on corporate sustainability. Climate change disclosure is the process of providing information about the impacts, actions, and strategies taken by companies related to climate change. This research was conducted on food and beverage sub-sector manufacturing sector companies listed on the IDX in 2020-2022. The sample used amounted to 54 units of analysis. The data analysis technique uses moderated regression analysis (MRA).The results showed that political connections affect financial performance, but climate change disclosure has no effect on financial performance. The results also showed that president director’s was unable to moderate the effect of climate change disclosure or political connections on financial performance. The results of this study also support the resource dependency theory which states that companies will adjust to the external environment to secure resources controlled by the government. In the context of this study, political connections are considered an invisible resource that can give companies a competitive advantage.

BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury is increasingly prevalent in both low and high income countries and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study aims to compare the outcomes of community acquired AKI (CA-AKI) and hospital acquired AKI (HA-AKI) among patients admitted to the department of internal medicine, B.P.Koirala Institute Of Health Sciences (BPKIHS), Dharan.
METHODS The study was a hospital based prospective, observational study conducted in internal medicine ward of a tertiary care hospital. The study duration was one year, from November 2019 to October 2020. A total of 100 patients were enrolled out of which 50 were patients with CA-AKI and 50 were patients with HA-AKI. Demographic and serum creatinine at baseline, on the day of discharge or 7th day and after 3 months were collected using pre-designed questionnaire and recorded in a structured porforma. Patients were followed up at 3months after discharge to evaluate treatment outcome as recovery from AKI, chronic kidney disease (CKD), requirement for Renal Replacement Therapy and mortality in both groups.
RESULTS The mean age was 51.93±20.55 years with HA-AKI patients older than CA-AKI. Common co-morbidities were systemic hypertension(24% in CA-AKI and 34% in HA-AKI) followed by Diabetes mellitus(16% in CA-AKI and 28 in HA-AKI), CLD(6% in CA-AKI and 2% in HA-AKI), heart failure(6%in CA-AKI and 10% in HA-AKI).The mortality at 3 months was 20.00% in HA-AKI and 8.89% in CA-AKI. CKD was 8.88% in HA-AKI and 24.44% in CA-AKI. The need for hemodialysis was higher in CA-AKI patients than HA-AKI patients (14% vs. 2%; p=0.05). Most common cause of AKI in both the groups was infection. HA-AKI patients were found to have higher length of hospital stay than CA-AKI (8.5±6.8 days vs. 7.30±3.60 days; p=0.28) .
CONCLUSIONS Patients with CA-AKI seem to have a higher requirement for renal replacement therapy. Mortality or incidence of CKD was similar in both the groups at 3 months. HA-AKI patients were found to have higher length of hospital stay than CA-AKI.

Clinical detection of sarcopenia with various assessment tools gives indirect knowledge of muscle mass and strength. The aim of this study is to find the most easy and applicable assessment tool in daily clinical practice to diagnose sarcopenia.
METHODS A retrospective observational study was conducted and data was taken from electronic medical records of patients admitted with cirrhosis and sarcopenia in department of gastroenterology of Tribhuvan university Teaching hospital. A total of 51 cirrhotic patients were included during one and half year study duration. Sarcopenia was assessed using assessment tool like hand grip strength, chair stand test, 400 metre walk test and CT measurement of either skeletal muscle area (SMA) or skeletal muscle index (SMI).
RESULTS Among 51 patients assessed with performance based assessment tool to diagnose sarcopenia, taking CT as gold standard test, SARC-F score and chair stand test were found to have highest sensitivity and specificity of 93%, 87.5 % and 93%, 100% respectively.
CONCLUSION Diagnosis of sarcopenia with simple clinic based assessment tool SARC-F score and chair stand test is very useful and comparable with more costly and resource-intensive CT scan.

Authors: Yam Prasad Sharma
Published: August 2024

Contemporary Nepali artist Sharada Man Shrestha uses scraps, junks, leftovers and found objects in his sculptures, paintings and installations. He transforms junks and leftovers into beautiful and fine aesthetic objects. The scraps and junks in mess distract the pedestrians but his artworks provide aesthetic pleasure to the viewers. Use of such materials in art contributes to manage the junks and scraps, recycle the used things, save the resources, reduce the environmental pollution, create cultural identity of the artist and the nation and earn livelihood for the artist. Shrestha has created both figurative and abstract artworks using scraps like used bottles, tires, pipes, grinding wheels and thrown away motorcycle parts. He has created high relief, low relief and freestanding sculptures. Due to the presence of physical material in the works rather than the creation of illusion through colors and light, the creative works provide a sense of connectedness to the earth. This article explores the principles behind the use of junks and interprets the artworks of Sharada Man Shrestha and shows how junks get transformed into the aesthetic objects. Since the thesis statement is supported through the interpretation of artworks, it is qualitative research.

The Secret Perspective: Anamorphosis in Hamlet
Authors: Fabijančić Tony
Published: August 2024

Anamorphosis, or the secret perspective, was not so secret in William Shakespeare’s time. There is evidence throughout Hamlet, for example, of an anamorphic sensibility, noticeable most obviously in the form of the haunting “thing” that arrives on stage from outside the “living” world of the play, at an angle as it were, but also in the way the covert is centrally embedded in the play’s action and meaning – how much of the play remains distorted or hidden from both the characters in the play and from readers/audience beyond it, obliging them to “re-form” the world anew. In this article, I will explore anamorphosis in Hamlet in two separate but connected areas: (1) the Ghost as a “tangential clairvoyant” – Maurice Molhollo’s term in the context of Miguel Cervantes – which denotes a spectral figure that exposes what has been hidden from sight (though that object may have been visible (that is, “suspected”) all along and, in the added sense I am suggesting, sets in motion the main action of the play even though it is not a central actor itself), and (2) the secret perspective of intuited, repressed, verbal, or off-stage material beyond the immediate sight or consciousness of characters and readers/audience. In both cases – of the Ghost as tangential clairvoyant and of the wider intuited, repressed material in the play – anamorphosis in Hamlet involves a new perception of a previously distorted object or situation, which leads to two similar yet opposed responses: either one of complete surprise (“I would never have guessed”) or astonished confirmation (“I knew it all along”).
