Published: November 2022

Tujuan artikel ini adalah membuktikan bahwa pemanfaatan modal maya yang bersumber dari para mahasiswa itu sendiri, mampu mengembangkan kemampuan entrepreneurship secara lebih efektif. Pemanfaatan modal maya mampu mengoptimalkan keberadaan modal pisik, yang makin mahal dan sulit di era ekonomi bergejolak dewasa ini. Ketergantungan pada modal pisik, perlu dikurangi secara nyata dan diganti dengan kekuatan modal maya (virtual capital) yang lebih mampu menjamin keberlangsungan suatu bisnis (viability), di era yang bergejolak dewasa ini, yang bersumber dari para mahasiswa.  Kemampuan entrepreneur para mahasiswa dikembangkan dengan bertumpu modal intelektual, modal sosial (net-working) dan modal kredibilitas para mahasiswa itu sendiri, sekaligus didukung oleh institusional dan para pihak terkait (stake holders). Efektivitas suatu modal maya terhadap pengembangan kemampuan entrepreneurship mahasiswa, sekaligus membutuhkan dukungan civitas akademika Universitas Mataram. Untuk itu pengkajian iklim akademika yang dialami oleh para mahasiswa, dipetakan di lingkungan Universitas Mataram. Pada akhirnya penelitian ini dapat menghasilkan suatu pola pembelajaran dan pemberdayaan entrepreneur mahasiswa Universitas Mataram, sekaligus dapat dimanfaatkan oleh perguruan tinggi lainnya di seluruh  Indonesia.
Atrial fibrillation in elite athletes. What is missing?
Authors: E Tsougos , E Giallafos , I Paraskevaidis
Published: November 2022

Although the beneficial effect of physical activity in the general population is well established, in elite athletes under vigorous physical activity, the effect on the electrical system of the heart is controversial. Indeed, several studies have shown an increased rate of atrial fibrillation among athletes, whereas others suggest that improved exercise capacity with training reduces atrial fibrillation recurrence. The pathophysiologic explanation of that discrepancy is missing, although several underlying mechanisms have been proposed. Taking into account the current knowledge, it seems that, although the beneficial effects of exercise are well recognized, there are conflicting data regarding the relation of the occurrence - the rate of atrial fibrillation to high-volume exercise and too long-term training. Its significance on the quality of life especially in highly trained athletes remains to be elucidated. Therefore, this short review will try to discuss this discrepancy and hopefully underlie the arising arguments.

Verbalization of the Concept of «Labor» among different peoples: Based on Russian, English and Korean proverbs
Authors:   Korean Association Of Slavic Languages, Park Seong Goo
Published: November 2022

In our article, we explore the concept of «Labor», which is one of the central fragments of the language culture – of the Russian, English/American, and Korean linguistic communities. The article uses a value approach to identify ethno-specific cultural concepts of attitudes towards work and labor activity in three languages. We have made an attempt to carry out a comparative analysis of Russian, English and Korean proverbs from the standpoint of the attitude of the three peoples to work. The research was conducted on the material of Russian, English and Korean proverbs. Proverbs most clearly illustrate the image and way of life, geographical location, the history of an ethnic group, traditions of a particular community united by one common culture. In our article, we use a value approach to identify ethno-specific cultural concepts of attitudes towards work and work activity in three languages. The article attempts to carry out a comparative analysis of Russian, English and Korean proverbs from the standpoint of the attitude of the three peoples to work. The material for the study was proverbs of the three languages, selected from lexicographic sources as a result of a continuous selection according to the thematic principle. А comparative study of the paremiological units of the concept “Labor” in the three languages under consideration showed similarities prevailing over differences at the semantic level. The material analyzed by us allows us to conclude that labor, work, and their qualitative performance have been positively evaluated and are being evaluated in society. Positive and negative assessment of labor is possibly associated with different understanding of the same concept by different social groups of people. The practical significance lies in the fact that the materials and main provisions of the work can be used in the course of lectures on lexicology and phraseology of the Russian language, as well as for reading special courses and conducting special seminars on relevant topics.
AI-based smart water environment management service platform development
Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Kim Nam-Ho
Published: November 2022

Recently, the frequency and range of algae occurrence in major rivers and lakes are increasing due to the increase in water temperature due to climate change, the inflow of excessive nutrients, and changes in the river environment. Abnormal algae include green algae and red algae. Green algae is a phenomenon in which blue-green algae such as chlorophyll (Chl-a) in the water grow excessively and the color of the water changes to dark green. In this study, a 3D virtual world of digital twin was built to monitor and control water quality information measured in ecological rivers and lakes in the living environment in real time from a remote location, and a sensor measuring device for water quality information based on the Internet of Things (IOT) sensor. We propose to build a smart water environment service platform that can provide algae warning and water quality forecasting by predicting the causes and spread patterns of water pollution such as algae based on AI machine learning-based collected data analysis.

Published: November 2022

Decision-making on the number of slaughtered heads considering the change in the number of breeding heads is an important issue for Hanwoo-breeding farmers. While previous studies treat breeding heads of Hanwoo in terms of supply function, this study differs in the way that it develops a model for breeding heads that incorporate both supply and demand sides. The number of cattle raised is forecasted using the estimates of slaughtered heads, the estimates of breeding cattle under one year of age, and the actual number of breeding cattle in the previous period. The result of the precision of the model for estimating the number of cattle raised indicates that the accuracy of the model is very high.

Published: November 2022

The average bid price per head of domestic race horses has been sold at almost the same level for the past 10 years, and the stability of profits for horse producers is very poor. In this study, the management efficiency of domestic racehorse producers was analyzed, and based on this, a plan for efficient farmhouse management was suggested. In this study, inputoriented DEA analysis was performed on a total of 48 farms, including 42 farms in Jeju island and 6 farms in inland. As a result of the overall DEA analysis, the overall average of the technical efficiency of the rarms was 0.35, indicating that the overall management efficiency of the racehorse breeding farms was very low. If we divide this into pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency, it was analyzed that the pure technical efficiency was 0.5 and the scale efficiency was 0.67. The pure technical efficiency of farmhouses in Jeju was 0.51, slightly higher than 0.44 in the inland area, while the scale efficiency in Jeju was 0.67, slightly lower than 0.73 in the inland area. When Jeju region was divided into three groups according to total income and management efficiency index was compared accordingly, the upper group showed the highest technical efficiency with 0.49, the middle group with 0.36, and the lower group with the lowest with 0.2. Comparing the pure technical efficiency, the middle-lower group was lower than the upper-level group, indicating that measures to improve the management inefficiency of the middle-lower group are urgently needed.

Authors:   Korean Association of Agricultural and Food Policy, Jeong SoYeong , Yang Seung-Ryong
Published: November 2022

Recently, as the international corn price continues to rise it might be burdensome for the domestic feed industry who use the corn as a major input. The feed industry has raised the feed prices by 15~20% along with the price increase. The higher corn price and increased volatility should affect the profitability of feed companies and the value of the companies listed in the stock market. It is interesting to know whether the corn price increases hurt the feed companies as much as livestock farms as the feed prices rises. This study seeks to determine the effects of the price of corn prices on the equity prices of feed companies in Korea using the multivariate GARCH-in-mean model. The model also includes the exchange rate and freight rates to see how the market responses to these important factors affecting the profitability of the industry. The results show that the size and direction of impacts of those factors are somewhat different, suggesting separate hedge plans for the feed companies and strategies for stabilizing feed price.

Published: November 2022

Background: To investigate the effect and potential molecular mechanisms of Dipsacoside B (DB), an herb monomer extracted from Dipsacusasper or Lonicera macranthoides, on the migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and balloon-induced neointimal formation. Methods: In vivo, rat abdominal aorta balloon injury model was utilized to investigate the effect of DB on the neointimal formation. In vitro, cultured VSMCs were used to investigate the effect of DB on Angiotensin-II (Ang-II)-induced migration and proliferation of VSMCs. Western blot and immunofluorescence were used to measure PTEN expression. Results: As compared to vehicle control balloon-injury group, DB treatment significantly inhibited the neointimal formation together up-regulated the expression of phosphatase and tension homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN). Cell proliferations (MTT and Edu incorporation) assays and wound migration measurement further revealed that treatment with DB significantly blunted Ang-II-induced proliferation and migration potential of VSMCs. Western blot analysis exhibited that DB upregulated the expression of PTEN in vivo and in vitro. Conclusions: DB treatment suppresses the proliferation and migration of VSMCs and reduces neointimal formation by the mechanisms involving regulating the phenotype switch of VSMCs via upregulating PTEN expression.
Current and Future Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics in Coronary Artery Disease
Authors: Candreva Alessandro , De Nisco Giuseppe , Lodi Rizzini Maurizio , D’Ascenzo Fabrizio , De Ferrari Gaetano Maria , Gallo Diego , Morbiducci Umberto , Chiastra Claudio
Published: November 2022

Hemodynamics interacts with the cellular components of human vessels, influencing function and healthy status. Locally acting hemodynamic forces have been associated—by a steadily increasing amount of scientific evidence—with nucleation and evolution of atherosclerotic plaques in several vascular regions, resulting in the formulation of the ‘hemodynamic risk hypothesis’ of the atherogenesis. At the level of coronary arteries, however, the complexity of both anatomy and physiology made the study of this vascular region particularly difficult for researchers. Developments in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have recently allowed an accurate modelling of the intracoronary hemodynamics, thus offering physicians a unique tool for the investigation of this crucial human system by means of advanced mathematical simulations. The present review of CFD applications in coronary artery disease was set to concisely offer the medical reader the theoretical foundations of quantitative intravascular hemodynamics—reasoned schematically in the text in its basic (i.e., pressure and velocity) and derived quantities (e.g., fractional flow reserve, wall shear stress and helicity)—along with its current implications in clinical research. Moreover, attention was paid in classifying computational modelling derived from invasive and non-invasive imaging modalities with unbiased remarks on the advantages and limitations of each procedure. Finally, an extensive description—aided by explanatory figures and cross references to recent clinical findings—was presented on the role of near-wall hemodynamics, in terms of shear stress, and of intravascular flow complexity, in terms of helical flow.
Examining the Joint Factor Structure of Mania, Internalizing, and Thought Disorder Symptoms in a Large Online Sample
Authors: Stanton Kasey , Mostajabi Janan , Myntti Warner , Osborne Hanna
Published: November 2022

The optimal classification of mania symptoms within dimensional models of psychopathology remains unclear, due in part to most prior research using composite, categorical ratings of mania/bipolar disorder rather than ratings of specific symptoms. We addressed this gap by examining the structure of self-reported symptom-level ratings of mania, internalizing, and thought disorder in adults recruited online who self-identified as having significant mental health histories (N = 1,112). Although prior research suggests that mania symptoms overlap strongly with both internalizing and thought disorder, our results indicated much closer alignment with thought disorder than internalizing when examining a two-factor structure. When examining a three-factor structure, ratings of manic symptoms such as grandiosity continued to load strongly onto a common factor with thought disorder symptoms, whereas symptoms such as racing thoughts and excessive energy loaded strongly onto a separate Agitation factor. Agitation showed some distinctive external associations with personality and medication use (e.g., with disinhibition, stimulant medication use), but was still strongly correlated with thought disorder. Future research informing the dimensional classification and assessment of mania symptoms can extend our findings by incorporating assessment of other psychopathology (e.g., externalizing), examining the cross-method consistency of results, and determining symptom interrelations using intensive longitudinal designs.
How Can We Know That an Action is Based on a Bias?
Authors: Yu Xiaoyang
Published: November 2022

How can we know that an action is based on a bias? For example, how can we know that an action is based on a bias towards a group of people? For example, if Asian American students got more attention from the teachers (Lee et al., 2015), how can we know that the teachers gave more attention to these students because of their race? Before a teacher first meets an Asian American student in person, the teacher might have a bias based on the student’s Asian name. But after the teacher meets the student in person, if the teacher gives this student more attention, how can we know that this teacher’s bias is based on the student’s race? In theory, it’s possible that this teacher gives this student more attention, only because this teacher thinks this student to be smart. How can we exclude this possibility? There is no way to exclude this possibility.
Shades of Social Mobility: Colorism, Ethnic Origin and Intergenerational Social Mobility
Authors: Monroy-Gómez-Franco Luis Angel
Published: November 2022

In this paper, I study the difference in intergenerational mobility patterns between the indigenousand non-indigenous Mexican populations, analyzing the role played by the variability in skintones inside both groups. I employ a composite sample based on two recent surveys with thesame sampling frame and questionnaire design. I obtained three main results based on rank-rankregressions and transition matrices for both the economic and educational dimensions. First,the indigenous population faces a higher degree of intergenerational persistence and remainsconcentrated at the bottom of the distribution of economic resources. Secondly, there is a skintone gradient for the indigenous and non-indigenous populations, where lighter skin tones tendto remain at a higher rank in the distribution of economic resources than darker skin tones.Thirdly, the association between ethnic origin, skin tone and economic mobility persist evenafter controlling for the intergenerational educational mobility experienced by the person.

Three major threats to Swedish public broadcasting – increasingly politically contested
Authors: Strömbäck Jesper
Published: November 2022

There are three overarching threats to public broad- casting in Sweden. As this report will show, one is the threat to the capacity of public broadcast- ing institutions to fulfil their mission, the secondis the threat to the independence of public broadcasting institutions themselves, and the third is the long-term campaign to portray the public broadcasting as left-wing and biased, thereby undermine trust in public broadcasting. In order to understand these threats, it is important to first paint a picture of what the mission of public broadcasting in Sweden is.

Levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), globulin, albumin and total plasma protein were analyzed in blood samples using an automated biochemistry analyser. Data analysis was done using one way ANOVA with Tukey’s Honestly Significantly Differenced (HSD) post-hoc analysis. Statistical significance level was set at P<0.05. Results showed that compared to group 1 (control), group 3 (200 µg/Kg/day AFB1) had increased levels of ALT; (44.0±6.83 IU/L vs. 61.0±8.19 IU/L; p=0.054), AST (176.75±44.34 IU/L vs. 256±115.99 IU/L; p=0.0195) and ALP (51.75±11.89 IU/L vs. 59.40±6.91 IU/L; p =0.049). Mice that were co-treated with 200 µg/Kg/day of AFB1 and 200 mg/Kg/day of S. platensis extract exhibited lower levels compared to mice treated with only 200 mg/Kg/day of AFB1; ALT (49.8±7.9 IU/L vs. 61.5±8.19 IU/L; p=0.039), AST (229.8±95 IU/L vs. 256±11.15 IU/L; p=0.04819) and ALP (26.5±13.48 IU/L vs. 49.75±4.1 IU/L; p=0.0444). In conclusion, our study findings suggest that supplementation of S. platensis extract at a level of 100 mg/Kg/day and 200 mg/Kg/day can reverse elevation of ALT, AST and ALP serum levels caused by 200 µg/Kg/day of AFB1 in male Swiss albino mice.
Impact of drought stress signals on growth and secondary metabolites (SMs) in medicinal plants
Authors: Shil Sanjoy , Dewanjee Sujaya
Published: November 2022

Medicinal plants having diversified phytochemical compounds like secondary plant metabolites (alkaloids, terpenoids, phenols, steroids, flavanoids, tannins, cyanogenic glycosides and glucosinolates, essential oils and aromatic compounds etc) are subject to abiotic stress like drought. Drought, one of the major ecologically limiting factors has significant impact on growth and secondary metabolic process of several medicinal plants. Water stress causes a reduction in plant size, density, reduces plant leaf area, and decrease in whole biomass, and not only alters the plant structurally and anatomically but also leads to fluctuation of their secondary chemical constituents. Secondary plant metabolites (SPMs) are useful to assess the quality and quantity of the therapeutic ingredients and such metabolites synthesized by the plant helps to cope up towards the negative effects of stress for adaptation and defence. A large number of studies manifested from the relevant review that drought influences on SPMs production and accumulation from plant parts like roots, stems, leaves, flower, fruits, seeds etc and causes an increase or decrease in their solute concentration by up to 50%. Studies showed that a medicinal plant produces different concentration of a particular metabolite grown under stress and non-stress environment. Generally, drought stress accumulates a higher concentration of active phytochemicals like alkaloids, tannins, terpenoids etc whereas concentration of phenols, flavanoids and saponins etc decreases under drought. In most cases as a whole, it may have to be concluding from comparative analysis that medicinal plants grown under drought exhibits higher content of secondary plant products than grown under optimal conditions. In addition, all secondary products may not increase in equal proportions under stress and it depends on the intensity of the drought as well as species of medicinal plants. Thus, moderate drought stress significantly enhanced the quality as well as quantity of secondary active substances in medicinal plants. However, for better understanding indepth further research is utmost essential at molecular level using new techniques viz. Proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomes and genomics etc.

Factors Influencing Male Participation in Maternal Health Care among Married Couples in Nepal: A Population-based Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Sharma S. , Aryal U. R. , Shrestha A.
Published: November 2022

Background The male involvement in maternal health care is essential to reduce obstetric complications. However, there is little known about factors contributing to male participation in maternal health in Nepal.

Objective To assess predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factors contributing male participation in maternal health care in Nepal.

Method A population based cross-sectional study was conducted among 374 married couples. Ethical approval was obtained from Institutional Review Board of Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital. The data was collected, using modified Safe Motherhood and Partnership Family Approach Model. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to account associated paternal factors. Concentration curve and concentration index were computed to measure equity gap between lowest and highest quintiles.

Result While four out of ten husbands reported high level of their involvement in maternal health care practices, wives reported relatively less involvement of their husbands. Logistic regression showed that husband having low family income, knows about immunization, contact with family planning providers were more likely to participate. In contrary, according to wives, husbands’ who have ever been to health facility, discuss family planning with others, contact with family planning providers and who knows about exclusive breast feeding were less likely to participate. The study also showed that socio-economic factors play a significant role.

Conclusion Male involvement in maternal health care practices is low. Predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factors play a significant role; however, some contradictions among husbands’ and wives’ perspectives provide strong evidence on significance of communication within partners on maternal health care issues.
Hormonal Contraceptives Use and Their Adverse Effects: A Cross-sectional Study among the Women Visiting Tertiary Care Center

Published: November 2022

Background Hormonal contraceptives are one of the most commonly used means of contraception. Lack of contraception may lead to large family size, increased preexisting illness on pregnancy, social and economic instability, risk of unsafe abortion and so on. This may also lead to unintended pregnancies which may alter the outcomes of pregnancies as well. However, improper uses are associated with several serious adverse effects. Therefore, to achieve the optimum benefit with the least adverse effects, safe and effective use of these agents with monitoring of their pattern of use and patient compliance is very essential.

Objective To investigate the usage of hormonal contraceptives and the adverse effects associated with them.

Method A cross-sectional study was conducted in a family planning center of a tertiary care hospital. All women of reproductive age using hormonal contraceptives for at least 1 month were included in this study. Informed consent was taken from the patients and interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS 20.

Result Among the 105 participants under this study, the mean (±SD) age was 29.08 (± 6.12) years. A majority (42, 40.0%) of them were using injectables. The average duration of use of hormonal contraceptives was 25.1 months ± 31.8 while a majority (60, 57.1%) were using contraceptives from < 3 months. Less chance of missed dose was the major reason (26.8%) for choosing injectable. Adverse effects were reported by 75.2% of the patients. The most common adverse effect was menstrual abnormalities (21.7%).

Conclusion Among various hormonal contraceptives, injectables were more commonly used. The majority of the participants responded to use injectables because of the least chance of missing the dose. The most common adverse effect reported was menstrual abnormalities.
