The State of Veteran Oral Health in Iowa: Understanding Outcomes and Opportunities for Improving Oral Health and Well-Being for Iowa Veterans
Authors:   American Institute of Dental Public Health, Cothron Annaliese , Louro Jose , Alpert Elizabeth , Clermont Don , Nieto Valerie
Published: February 2024

Oral health is critical to overall health and well-being. Unfortunately, marginalized, historically excluded, and underserved communities frequently bear a disproportionate burden of poor oral health due to social and political determinants of health. Veterans, in particular, face an increased risk of disease and disability, impacting not only their oral health but also their overall well-being. In Iowa, veterans are more likely to be rural, have lower incomes, and have disabilities. These factors can all exacerbate the already significant poor oral health outcomes experienced by veterans. This report was developed to serve as a resource for key target audiences including clinicians, advocates, health administrators, nonprofit organizations, researchers, and policy makers to design and implement solutions for Iowa veterans.

Authors:   Romanian Academy, Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: February 2024

În războiul modern, peisajul evoluează rapid, odată cu progresele tehnologice care modelează natura conflictelor. Printre aceste progrese, războiul electronic apare ca un domeniu esențial, jucând un rol crucial în modelarea rezultatelor bătăliilor. În ultimul secol, și în special în a doua jumătate, războiul electronic s-a alăturat altor capacități de luptă și a devenit una dintre competențele majore ale războiului. Acesta nu se desfășoară izolat, ci se împletește în mod complex cu alte capacități de luptă, sporind eficiența acestora pe câmpul de luptă. Pe măsură ce războiul continuă să evolueze în era digitală, importanța războiului electronic în modelarea câmpului de luptă nu va face decât să crească, subliniind imperativul ca armatele să investească în capabilități solide de război electronic pentru a menține superioritatea strategică. Acest eseu analizează relația complexă dintre războiul electronic și alte capacități de luptă, subliniind semnificația acestuia în operațiunile militare contemporane.

The Implications of Teacher Performance Assessment and the Impact on Teacher Decision Making
Authors: Moran Renee
Published: February 2024

The issue of teacher accountability has been a part of the educational conversation for three decades, but only recently has this conversation been translated into policy as states begin directly tying teacher evaluation scores in part to student achievement on standardized tests. This qualitative study focuses on a group of teachers who are participating in this new form of evaluation (containing both qualitative and quantitative elements including test scores and lesson observations) and examines how they perceived the process. In particular, the study looks at how their personal reactions to a high-stakes evaluation impacted their instructional decision making in their literacy classrooms. Findings demonstrate that teachers had varying levels of change in instructional practice and that these changes were impacted by a variety of factors including personal beliefs and contextual issues. Additionally, findings demonstrated that participants found the qualitative portion of the model to be highly subjective which was considered especially problematic because of the high stakes nature of the evaluation.

Socio-Economic Status and Relational Analysis among the Factors of Cattle Farming at Jhenaidah District in Bangladesh
Authors:   Institute of Bangladesh Studies(IBS), Rajshahi University, Rajshahi, Bangladesh, Islam Md. Rezaul
Published: February 2024

The study investigated the socio-economic status and relationships among factors of cattle farming in four villages spanning two upazilas of the Jhenaidah district in Bangladesh. Data were collected from 60 cattle farmers engaged in cattle farming. For this purpose, a set of questionnaires was administered, covering the socio-economic features of the farmers, the costs and income from cattle, and the relational variables associated with cattle production. The results revealed that the average family size, percentage of males and females, and age were all significant. The average monthly income and expenditure were estimated at 17,558 and 21,175 thousand BDT, respectively. Most farmers were smallholders, with an average of only 81.91 decimal land for cultivation. Furthermore, the study found that male respondents predominantly participated in decision-making processes, accounting for 87.76% of decisions. The coefficient of yearly family income, age of the respondents, yearly family labor used in cattle farms, land used in primary food production, and family education level suggest that a one-unit increase might contribute to a 0.144, 1.953, 0.412, 0.903 unit increase in income from cattle production in the study area, respectively. However, the coefficients of the number of family members, respondents' traditional experience, land used in agriculture, and herd size of the farm indicate a negative relationship with income from cattle farming. This implies that a one-unit increase resulted in a 1.894, 1.442, 0.017, and 2.092 unit decrease in income, with all other variables held constant. Currently, there is a crying need to address the issues that cattle farmers face, and for that, the authority should propose several initiatives to attain sustainability and functionality.

Authors: Bakhramova Mokhinur
Published: February 2024

Developed to resolve disputes worldwide in a digital environment, the program works only online. Unlike other court software that provides an online interface for discrete tasks, such as filling out documents online, and conducting online hearings, users of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) do not go to court for traditional requests. The program is not a technological platform designed for making court decisions, but a tool to assist the court in resolving the disputes or cases of the applicants. Dispute resolution in a digital environment allows parties to resolve disputes confidentially, quickly, at their own discretion, and impartially, and to ensure worldwide enforcement of the decision. In this regard, special attention is paid to the wide introduction of information technologies in this field.

Published: February 2024

A doxorrubicina (DX) é uma droga quimioterápica que é amplamente utilizada por pacientes neoplásicos, entretanto promove efeitos colaterais deletérios em tecidos não tumorais, como o tecido adiposo. O mecanismo de ação da DX tem sido associado a uma maior produção de espécies reativas de oxigênio, e terapias com componentes antioxidantes, como a rutina, podem ser benéficas na redução dos efeitos adversos dessa droga. O objetivo desse trabalho foi verificar o efeito da rutina na adiposidade e homeostase redox do tecido adiposo de camundongos tratados com doxorrubicina. Camundongos Swiss machos foram divididos em três grupos: o controle grupo (CT); o grupo doxorrubicina (DX), no qual os camundongos receberam cloridrato de DX na dose de 2,5 mg / kg peso corporal intraperitoneal duas vezes por semana durante 2 semanas, e grupo RT (DX + rutina), no qual camundongos além de receberem a  DX i.p., receberam a  rutina   diariamente por via oral na dose de 10 mg / kg de peso.  Ingestão de alimentos e peso corporal foram avaliados semanalmente e os camundongos foram eutanasiados e coletado os coxins do tecido adiposo (subcutâneo, periepididimal e retroperitoneal), pesados e armazenados a −80◦C. Foram avaliados dano oxidativo e atividade da enzima antioxidante catalase. A rutina atenuou a perda de tecido adiposo causada pela DX, e aumentou a atividade da catalase. Esses resultados demonstram a importância de novos estudos para esclarecer o papel da rutina na redução dos efeitos colaterais relacionados à quimioterapia em órgãos relevantes para o controle da homeostase.

Published: February 2024

E-procurement adoption is not without its challenges despite facilitating the purchasing process. Hence, this quantitative cross-sectional survey study aimed to examine the e-procurement adoption barriers encountered by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Republic of South Sudan. The 300 SMEs selected out of 1215 SMEs through systematic sampling methods resulted in 213 valid responses with a 71% response rate. Empirical data were derived from the survey questionnaires distributed through Google Forms and Portable Document Format (PDF) via email and evaluated with descriptive and principal component analysis (PCA), relative importance index (RII), and analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Resultantly, multiple national e-procurement implementation methods and incorrect reassembly of data transmitted were ranked the highest barrier among the technological factors, followed by delays in the transmission of data and information, and the technology immaturity due to political and legal factors, lack of widely acceptable e-procurement software solutions and flexibility for management factors, company culture and cost of IT investment for organizational factors. Future works could compare the e-procurement adoption barriers perceived by SMEs in emerging and developed nations and ascertain their e-procurement acceptance. Meanwhile, stakeholders could attract more IT firms in the current market through adequate training, a unified platform, holistic e-procurement adoption techniques, high public awareness, employment of IT experts, forums to exchange ideas on e-procurement, and utilization of passwords, information encryptions, or data. This study proposed employing mixed-method techniques to examine and alleviate SMEs' e-procurement adoption barriers.

The 1D basin models show that the Masilla basin exhibited a complex subsidence history over a period of about 155 Ma and includes three stages of subsidence. The first stage was occurred at 132-155 Ma and shows high subsidence rate about 6.2 cm per1000 years) and deposition rate about 6.13 cm per 1000 years in the southwest part of Block-53. This stage formed as a result of thinning in the curst during the lithospheric extension.  The second stage of subsidence was occurred at 66-128Ma and shows decrease the subsidence rates in the range of 1.99- 1.11 cm/1000 years and deposition rates between 1.19 and 0.69 cm/1000 years during the post-rift deposits, which is represented by Qishn Clastic and Carbonate formations (.At the third stage,  the subsidence and deposition rates are high in the southwest of block-53 and found to be about 9.3 cm/1000 years and 9.2 cm/1000 years, respectively . The rapid in the subsidence rates during this stage is primary related to the cooling of lithosphere and loading of the sediments

The effect of financial and food-based incentives on math test performance
Authors: Johnson Thomas , Scott Jason
Published: February 2024

Previous research has suggested that incentives may be effective in increasing a student’s math performance. The purpose of this study was to extend previous research and give monetary and food incentives in the same period. Twenty-nine students with Algebra 2 experience took incentivized math tests with two different types of incentives: monetary and food. The financial incentive outperformed the control, but the food incentive did not. We also considered the relationship between the students’ math grades and the effectiveness of each incentive by correlating their math grades to the difference in scores between the control and incentive conditions. The relationship between participants' math scores and the incentive effect for food was positive and significant, but not significant for the effectiveness of the financial incentive. Therefore, teachers should consider using math incentives such as money to increase their students’ math test performance. We suggest more research is needed on the precise effectiveness of food as an incentive.
Anti-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic properties of the polyherbal drug, MAT20, in MCF-7 cells
Authors: Tarigopula Sohan , Kasture Pooja , Rao Jyothsna , Rao Gururaj
Published: February 2024

Breast cancer remains a serious health issue with approximately 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. Standard treatment approaches include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. However, these treatments have side effects such as drug resistance, metastasis, and relapse. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate alternative therapy approaches that may mitigate the adverse effects of standard therapies. The emerging field of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) presents an intriguing possibility of using natural products as therapeutics. The main objective of this study was assessing the anticancer efficacy of MAT20, a polyherbal formulation with extracts of moringa, amla, and tulsi. In this study, we examined the anti-inflammatory properties of MAT20, along with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), on the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. Specifically, we assessed the expression of the COX2 gene, a key marker of inflammation. We hypothesized that the addition of MAT20, targeting COX2 downregulation, may have a dual impact by not only reducing inflammation but also regulating programmed cell death pathways by apoptotic gene expression studies. Our results demonstrated that MAT20 decreased the PMA-induced COX2 expression in MCF-7 cells. MAT20 treatment in MCF-7 cells showed upregulation of BAX and BAD (pro-apoptotic genes) and downregulation of BCL2 and BCL2L1 (anti-apoptotic genes) in MCF-7 cells. Overall, our results showed that MAT20 may have anti-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic effects on MCF-7 cells.

The practice of cultural diplomacy is a legitimized act of soft power move by one’s countries upon others. In the modern age comes with details of many mediums and types that enhance the mainlined diplomacy acts. Japan’s usage of anime and manga culture had taken over the world by storm along with its fans that are interconnecting the further attempt at mutual understanding, and universally shared values. By using nine characters from beloved manga and promoting the Olympics through cooperation with famed anime studios, the result is a magnanimous and harmonious symbiotic relationship that blooms within international sportsmanship. The Covid-19 pandemic has forced this development to direct humanity to places that perhaps 15 years ago were said to be almost impossible, including reduced space for face-to-face meetings, restrictive regulations, and also sanctions that must be implemented regarding matters around related topics.

Authors: Hestiana Mia , Lutfi Achmad
Published: February 2024

The role of coal in energy supply is in line with the increasing demand for power plant construction in several regions driven by economic growth and income. The purpose of this study is to determine collaborative governance in the development of malapari plants as biodiesel feedstock. This research uses qualitative research to understand social phenomena with a normative legal approach that prioritizes literature studies, data collection activities from various literature both from libraries and other places. The results obtained are education and training to farmers on sustainable agricultural practices and natural resource management is also a precondition that must be done. This knowledge can help farmers adopt practices that support the sustainable growth of malapari plants. Effective pest and disease management strategies are needed to protect malapari plants from attacks that can reduce crop yields. The conclusion of this study is that training and education programs need to be expanded to increase farmers' understanding of sustainable agricultural practices, processing technology, and agrofuel management. This can help improve the quality and quantity of malapari crop yields. Socialization to the community regarding the benefits of developing malapari plants as biofuels and their positive impacts on the environment needs to be strengthened. Public acceptance is considered to be able to support the growth of this industry.

Published: February 2024

This research aims to fill the research gap by analyzing sustainable leadership practices in the mining industry, expanding the understanding from previous sustainable leadership literature. The focus is to provide a deep understanding of the role of sustainable leadership in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Qualitative methods are employed to comprehend social phenomena through the collection and analysis of descriptive and non-numeric data. The study explores "Sustainable Leadership Practices at PT ABC and PT XYZ in Supporting the Achievement of Sustainable Development Goals." The findings indicate that PT ABC and PT XYZ implement sustainable leadership practices, including commitments to social, economic, and environmental aspects. However, they face challenges such as resource constraints and organizational cultural changes. Leaders in both companies play a crucial role in communicating the importance of sustainability and leading change. Managerial implications involve developing internal policies that strengthen sustainable leadership practices and enhancing employee awareness. Management needs to address financial and cultural challenges while ensuring compliance with regulations. Investor implications include a deeper understanding of the company's commitment to social, economic, and environmental aspects as an evaluation factor for long-term sustainability.

Published: February 2024

In the current era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, information and communication technology is rapidly developing in all sectors. In the matrix of non-military defense implementation, technology is one of the dimensions that influence the achievement of a country's general defense policy. Technological development does not always have a positive impact. Cyber threats and attacks are an example of the negative impact in technological development. In the "Cyber Defense Guidelines," national cyber security is defined as all efforts to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and all its supporting facilities at the national level, which are cross-sectoral in nature. According to data from the National Cyber Security Index (NCSI) survey agency, a country's National Cyber Security Index (Y) is measured based on 12 indicators, including: cyber security policy development (X1), cyber threat analysis and information (X2), education and professional development (X3), contribution to global cyber security (X4), protection of digital services (X5), protection of essential services (X6), e-identification and trust services (X7), protection of personal data (X8), cyber incident response (X9), cyber crisis management (X10), fight against cybercrime (X11), and military cyber operations (X12). In this study, a regression analysis will be conducted on the 12 indicators of the National Cyber Security Index against the Total Assessment of the National Cyber Security Index (Y) in Southeast Asia, so that the type of equation in the regression analysis can be identified.

Authors: Rimkus Edvardas
Published: February 2024

The text is the editor’s introduction to the articles of this scientific journal Philosophy. Sociology, thematically divided into four sections: Philosophy of Technology and Ethics of Technology, Social Philosophy and Philosophy of Communication, Philosophy of Art and Art Communication, Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy. This article also aims to problematise the concepts of culture and technology and present one of the conceptual approaches when considering cultural and value differences in the conditions of technological globalisation. From the author’s perspective, although technology provides tools for effective human activity and technological progress influences different societies and their interactions, technological solutions alone cannot eliminate or neutralise the cultural, mentality, moral, or simply value differences of different societies.
Dynamic Construction of Intersubjectivity in Discourse by Integrating Philosophical and Cognitive Perspectives
Authors: Peng Bingzhuan , Wei Xin
Published: February 2024

Intersubjectivity, the existing way of humans in discourse, is the speakers’ concern over the hearers. A framework for the dynamic construction of discourse intersubjectivity by integrating philosophical and cognitive perspectives was proposed to reveal the essential philosophical and cognitive attributes of discourse intersubjectivity. Qualitative analysis and speculative methods were employed. Intersubjectivity in discourse and its dynamic construction process were investigated from speaker orientation, hearer orientation and social interaction orientation. The results show the following: (1) the proposed framework clarifies the dynamic construction of discourse meaning from objectivity to subjectivity and intersubjectivity; (2) speaker orientation focuses on the dynamic construction of discourse meaning from objectivity to subjectivity; (3) hearer orientation emphasises the dynamic construction of discourse meaning from subjectivity to intersubjectivity; (4) social interaction orientation concerns the interaction between speakers and hearers in social discursive practices. The study broadens the research perspective of intersubjectivity, provides a feasible analysis framework to deeply explore intersubjectivity, helps dig up the role of humans as communicative subjects in discourse and communication, and explores the implicit interaction between speakers and hearers.
Anthropocene and the Values in the Contemporary Lithuanian Philosophy
Authors: Vareikis Žilvinas
Published: February 2024

In modern times, philosophy finds itself in a contradictory position. On the one hand, it has long been a theoretical abstract knowledge of the phenomena of reality and the ideas that express it. On the other hand, it is, at its core, a science that reflects on changes in fundamental human values. Values are embedded in the structure of each society, in the variety of issues that it has to deal with. Therefore, to be in touch with changing reality, philosophy naturally responds to societal issues that have a lasting impact on human beings and their environment. Being aware of the multi-layered nature of the Anthropocene, the author of the article explores the values that emerge in Lithuanian philosophy in the context of research on the Anthropocene. For this purpose, the insights of Lithuanian philosophers Naglis Kardelis, Gintautas Mažeikis, Arvydas Šliogeris, Mintautas Gutauskas and Danutė Bacevičiūtė into the most significant changes in nature caused by the Anthropocene are discussed.
New (Digital) Media in Creative Society: Ethical Issues of Content Moderation
Authors: Schinello Salvatore
Published: February 2024

Digitalisation and platformisation are continuously impacting and reshaping the societies we live in. In this context, we are witnessing the rise of phenomena such as fake news, hate speech, and the sharing of any other illegal content through social media. In this paper, I propose some ethical reflections on content moderation in the context of digital (social) media, as this topic seems – to me – to already incorporate other relevant digital issues in it, such as algorithms bias, the spread of fake news, and the potential misuses of artificial intelligence. In the first section, I will provide a few hermeneutic reflections over a speech given by the Italian scholar Umberto Eco, which appears to underline the necessity of a content moderation in an era of digital (social) media. In the second section, I will analyse, through a consequentialist perspective, critical and ethical issues posed by content moderation. In particular, I suggest the idea of a ‘moderate’ (reasonable and limited) content moderation that can only be assured by humans, as they are able to contextualise the content, to take emotions and subjective elements into account, to apply critical thinking and adaptability in complex circumstances.

A field experiment was conducted in Pusa during spring season of 2016-17, to evaluate 7 sugarcane genotypes (‘CoP 11436’, ‘CoP 11437’, ‘CoP 11438’, ‘CoSe 11451’, ‘BO 130’, ‘CoSe 95422’ and ‘BO 153’) in early maturing group and 7 sugarcane genotypes viz., ‘BO 155’, ‘CoSe 11453’, ‘CoSe 11454’, ‘CoSe 11455’, ‘BO 91’, ‘CoP 9301’ and ‘CoSe 92423’ in mid late maturing group at 120 cm row spacing. In early group, genotype ‘CoP 11436’ produced the higher tillers (1, 38000/ha), millable canes (1, 04800/ ha), cane (88.2 t/ha) and sugar yield (11.1 t/ ha). Genotype, ‘CoP 11438’ showed the higher brix (20.6) and pol (18.39%) per cent juice among test genotype, followed by standard check ‘BO 153’. Under mid late maturing group, higher germination count (46.2%), tillers (1, 52, 100/ha) and millable canes (1, 07800/ ha) was noticed due to the genotype ‘BO 155’ which was followed by the standard check ‘CoSe 92423’. However, ‘CoSe 11455’ recorded the highest cane (103.7 t/ha) and sugar yield (13.18 t/ha), followed by ‘BO 155’ in case of cane yield and CoSe 11453 in sugar yield. Among mid late genotype ‘CoSe 11453’, ‘CoSe 11454’ and standard check ‘CoP 9301’ obtained similar brix values of 20.7%. However, standard check ‘CoP 9301’ was found significantly superior to ‘BO 155’ with respect to pol and commercial cane sugar percent.
Estimation of Simple Correlation and Genetic Variability Studies in F2 Population of Three Different Crosses in Bhendi (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench)
Authors: Madhumitha Y. , Kumar P. Senthil
Published: February 2024

Simple correlation analysis and variability analysis was done in three crosses of bhendi viz., IC 049972 x Arka Anamika, IC 058704 × Arka Anamika, IC 045993 × Pusa - A4 at Annamalai University, Chidambaram. The correlation analysis for eight characters plant height, days to first flowering, number of branches per plant, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit girth, fruit weight, fruit yield per plant was done. The result showed that number of branches per plant, numbers of fruits per plant, fruit weight are highly correlated with fruit yield per plant. Genetic variability parameters like GCV, PCV, heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean were estimated. In all the three crosses PCV was higher in magnitude than GCV which may be due to the effect of environment. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed in two crosses. This indicates the effect of additive gene action. From the above study it can be seen that fruit yield improvement in bhendi can be done by selection based on fruit weight, number of fruits per plant and number of branches per plant.
