Published: July 2024

The sambar deer, an endemic animal to Indonesia, is protected by Government Regulation Number 7 of 1999 and is listed as "Vulnerable," according to the IUCN, indicating its vulnerability to extinction. The main objective of this research is to analyze the current management of sambar deer breeding, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and plan strategies to improve management by ideal standards. Data for this research was collected through literature study, observation and interviews. The sample of respondents was selected from actors or stakeholders who have the most significant role in the management of this deer breeding area, including the head of the service (1 person), head of the planning section (1 person), team member (2 people), and guard (1 person). The form of captive management was analyzed using a Likert scale, supporting and inhibiting factors were analyzed using descriptive analysis, and the form of management strategy was analyzed using SWOT analysis. The results obtained were that the sambar deer breeding management had a score of 3.90, or the management was quite good. Supporting factors for management are the breeding area, which is still sufficient to accommodate many deer, complete equipment and cage equipment in the cages, and healthy deer. Moreover, the inhibiting factors for management are the unavailability of veterinarians and the fact that data on recording sick sambar deer needs to be well documented, making it challenging to monitor health. Recommendations for the management strategy for sambar deer breeding at BPSILHK Aek Nauli is an alternative SO (Strength-Opportunity) strategy obtained, namely: Caring for the cages together with the community, utilizing the area of the cage to add deer, utilizing breeding locations located in tourist locations and caring for the deer so that always healthy.

Authors: M. Enriquez Ralph Lester , J. Secondez Sance
Published: July 2024

This study investigated the effects of oregano extract (OE) supplementation on the growth and meat quality of Muscovy ducks, aiming to optimize meat quality and explore sustainable dietary interventions in poultry production. Twenty-five male Muscovy ducks were meticulously allocated to five treatment groups, each comprising five replications, employing a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Ducks were exposed to varying levels of oregano extract supplementation with five dietary treatments: T0 (control), T1 (25% OE), T2 (50% OE), T3 ( 75% OE), and T4 (100% OE). Throughout the 4-week trial period, individual ducks were accommodated in designated pens to facilitate precise monitoring. The investigation examined several growth parameters, including feed intake (FI, the amount of feed consumed by each duck), feed cost (FC, the expense associated with feeding each duck), weight gain (WG, the increase in body weight of each duck over the specified time period), and feed conversion ratio (FCR, the ratio of feed consumed to weight gained), assessed at weekly intervals. Results showed that OE supplementation did not significantly affect feed intake or weight gain, except for weeks 1 and 2 where T3, supplemented with 75% OE, exhibited the highest weight gain. However, OE supplementation significantly improved FCR, with T3 showing the lowest FCR, indicating enhanced nutrient utilization. Additionally, T3 displayed the highest fasted live weight, dressed weight, and dressing percentage, suggesting improved meat production and quality. Sensory analysis revealed that T3 consistently exhibited favorable meat quality attributes. Overall, T3 demonstrated the highest general acceptability among consumers, based on criteria such as taste, texture, and overall satisfaction. The study highlights the potential of OE supplementation to optimize feed efficiency and enhance meat quality in Muscovy ducks.

Published: July 2024

In this research it was examined how students of two private institutions perceive the nudges. Although the nudge theory has gained considerable popularity in international research, as it is reflected on recent articles in international magazines, it does not count on the recognition or implementation in a local context. In that way, with the developed research, knowledge is generated with regard to the population object of study and it is an important test about the possible implementations of deliberative and non-deliberative nudges in public policies. The methodology used is a quantitative approach, descriptive method, snowball probabilistic sample technique and the test was carried out through chi square to determine gender perception. The results gotten showed that students are receptive to the use of nudge tool in their daily contexts. In conclusion, there is acceptance of the use of deliberative nudges and there is a little distrust of non-deliberative nudges, likewise, it is exposed that nowadays the nudge tool is discussed in top level international universities; nevertheless, in the Latin American context, its formulation is minimal.
Synergistic Antitumor and Apoptotic Activity of Sitagliptin or Linagliptin Plus Cisplatin Against A549 Lung Cancer Cells (an Invitro Study)
Authors: Al Khafaji Ameer M. , Bairam Ahsan F.
Published: July 2024

Objective: Lung cancer (LC) has the highest mortality rate globally. Most chemotherapeutic medicines now in use are cytotoxic, prompting the search for novel compounds with anticancer properties and improved safety profiles for normal cells. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors have demonstrated anticancer effects and apoptotic properties by specifically inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase -4, a glycoprotein found in various organs that support the spread of cancer and tumor formation.
Based on that, this study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxicity and apoptotic activity of sitagliptin (SITA) and linagliptin (LINA) against the lung cancer cell line (A549) alone and in combination with cisplatin (CP).
Methods: A549 cells were categorized into six groups: control (untreated cells), CP-treated cells, SITA-treated cells, LINA-treated cells, CP plus SITA treated cells (1:1 ratio), and CP plus LINA treated cells (1:1 ratio). After 72 hours of incubation, cell viability (or cytotoxicity) and concentration required to inhibit 50% of cell viability (IC50) for each group were determined using an MTT assay. This method is safe and easy to use, has more reproducibility, and is commonly used for cell viability and cytotoxicity tests. Later, A549 cells were cultured in six flasks and exposed to the IC50 for 36 hours. Afterward, the cells were harvested and centrifuged, and the supernatant was removed. The remaining cell pellets were collected and lysed using a lysis buffer to measure B-cell lymphoma type 2 (BCL-2) levels with ELISA test kits. The data was collected and subjected to statistical analysis techniques.
Results: MTT assay results determined that SITA and LINA significantly increased A549 cell cytotoxicity compared to the control group (P<0.0001). Moreover, combining SITA or LINA with CP showed markedly increased antitumor efficacy and more significant cytotoxicity directed toward A549 cells. Additionally, these combinations highly reduced IC50 in comparison to monotherapy. Considerably, both drugs showed remarkable apoptotic activity on A549 cells when used alone or combined with CP by decreasing BCL2 levels. Consequently, it potentiates apoptotic effects and cytotoxicity of CP against cancer cells. Interestingly, Lina was more potent than Sita regarding cytotoxicity and apoptotic activity on A549 cells.
Conclusion: SITA and Lina exhibited significant cytotoxic and apoptotic effects against A549 cells through the induction of apoptosis. Notably, the results suggest a potential synergistic anticancer impact on CP.

Graph-theoretic insights on the constructability of complex entangled states
Authors: Chandran L. Sunil , Gajjala Rishikesh
Published: July 2024

The most efficient automated way to construct a large class of quantum photonic experiments is via abstract representation of graphs with certain properties. While new directions were explored using Artificial intelligence and SAT solvers to find such graphs, it becomes computationally infeasible to do so as the size of the graph increases. So, we take an analytical approach and introduce the technique of local sparsification on experiment graphs, using which we answer a crucial open question in experimental quantum optics, namely whether certain complex entangled quantum states can be constructed. This provides us with more insights into quantum resource theory, the limitation of specific quantum photonic systems and initiates the use of graph-theoretic techniques for designing quantum physics experiments.

Published: July 2024

Four key indicators of climate change – greenhouse gas concentrations, sea level rise, heat and ocean acidification – are setting new records every year. One of the tools for limiting global warming on the planet is the energy transition, that is, the transition from a fossil fuel-based energy structure to one that produces very limited, if not zero carbon emissions. The aim of the article is to examine the concept of energy transition through the prism of historical evolution. Methods: system analysis, comparison, generalization, systematization. Results: the causes and essence of the energy transition phenomenon are considered. Special attention is paid to the causes and trends of the fourth energy transition. The problem of energy transition risks in the modern geopolitical and socio-economic environment is touched upon. Conclusions: from the historical point of view, energy transitions are not something new. However, today the development of countries on effective scenarios to combat climate change requires efforts both in the field of international cooperation and in the field of achieving domestic political consensus, i.e. the formation of political, public and expert opinion that shares the principles of energy transition.

The formation of Russian liberalism in the 19th century doctrinally followed the path of historically determined development in the context of the Western-centric paradigm. However, political events in Russia at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries made significant adjustments to the further development of liberal ideology. Based on institutional and historical-comparative approaches, a study was conducted of the theoretical heritage of Russian liberalism, its features were noted, and it was proven that the contribution of Russian scientists of the late 19th century can become the basis for developing a strategy for the further development of Russian statehood in the modern geopolitical situation.

Development of tourist and recreational clusters based on program-targeted management methods
Authors: Александр Сергеевич Лапин ,   Южный федеральный университет, Ростов-на-Дону, Россия
Published: July 2024

In the article, the author examines those tools for the development of tourist clusters that can be used by public authorities at the federal and regional levels as part of their formation of program documents aimed at supporting the industry and the processes of cluster formation in it. The author proposes to consider an algorithm for using a program-oriented approach during the formation and development of tourist clusters, taking into account the expediency of prioritizing the tasks of developing the tourism industry in some regions of the Russian Federation. The author also identifies a problem in the system used to assess the implementation of the goals set for industry departments, which consists in the fact that there is a certain discrepancy between the developed system of target indicators and those tasks that are defined to achieve the main goal of the development of domestic tourism. At the same time, correct assessment procedures and a well-built system of indicative indicators to assess the level of implementation of cluster initiatives will allow to intensify investment activities in the tourism cluster through subsidizing mechanisms from the federal budget, expanding preferential lending programs provided by financial organizations, public–private partnerships, and at the stages of development of the tourism cluster - to ensure its self-financing.
Drivers of and Challenges Facing Adoption of Industrial Revolution 4.0 Technologies: A Study of the Electrical and Electronics Industry in Malaysia
Authors: Yeap Khai-Leang , Rasiah Rajah , Furuoka Fumitaka
Published: July 2024

This paper examines the main drivers and challenges of adopting Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0 technologies in the electrical and electronics (E&E) manufacturing industry in Malaysia. The E&E industry is selected as a case study because it is Malaysia’s largest contributor to manufacturing employment, value added and exports. The empirical findings indicate that the two strongest drivers for adoption are internal benefits associated with improvements in production efficiency and cost reduction. The findings also suggest that the biggest challenges faced by the E&E industry are the shortage of necessary talents and skills, limited funds available for technological upgrading, and a lack of convincing business evidence to justify such investment.
Chinese Investments in Malaysia: Synthesising the Evidence Ten Years into the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)
Authors: Tham Siew Yean
Published: July 2024

The launch of the BRI in 2013 raised the interests of Chinese investors in Malaysia. However, views of the BRI in Malaysia are often based on a few mega projects, which are financed by federal loans. This leads to a misleading view that Chinese investments are motivated by geoeconomic interests alone rather than commercial interests. This study synthesises the existing evidence on Chinese investments in Malaysia, ten years into the BRI, using an antecedent, decision and outcome (ADO) framework. It seeks to shed light on the nature, drivers and motivations as well as some of the outcomes of these investments. It is found that Chinese investments in Malaysia are diverse in terms of sectoral coverage, drivers and entry modes while the long-term impact on technology transfer remains unclear. The focus on geoeconomic considerations has led to a general neglect in research on examining the impact of these investments on Malaysia’s economy.
Effect of Student-Run Free Clinics on Family Medicine Match Rates: A Multisite, Regression Discontinuity Study
Authors: Dunleavy Spencer , Paladine Heather L.
Published: July 2024

Background and Objectives: Student-run free clinics (SRFCs) have been proposed as one educational strategy to increase medical students’ interest in primary care careers. We sought to overcome gaps in the literature by investigating the effect of opening an SRFC at different institutions on institution-level match rates into family medicine, the largest source of primary care physicians in the United States.
Methods: We connected a list of SRFCs from primary care clerkship directors and the Society of Student-Run Free Clinics with a database of institution-level match rates into family medicine from 2000 to 2018. Using regression discontinuity analysis, we assessed whether opening an SRFC would increase family medicine match rates.
Results: Across a sample of 58 medical schools in the United States, we found that SRFCs did not significantly change the number (P=.44) or percentage of medical graduates (P=.42) entering family medicine residency. We also found no significant effects of SRFCs on the number of students entering family medicine in different contexts, including public/private institutions (P=.47), geographic areas (P=.26), departmental administrative structures (P=.69), and institutions with higher historical rates of producing graduates entering family medicine (P=.22).
Conclusions: Though SRFCs may potentially support other aspects of undergraduate medical training, they should not be used as a singular strategy for addressing shortages in the primary care workforce in the United States. Further educational research should examine multipronged strategies to increase the supply of early-career primary care physicians in the United States.

Mapeamento dos Cinemas Negros Brasileiros
Authors: Brito Neto Márcio
Published: July 2024

Este é o resultado de um mapeamento inédito que avaliou a constituição sociocultural e econômica das pessoas negras que realizaram filmes no Brasil nas duas primeiras décadas do século XXI, considerando que a produção anterior a esse período era incipiente. Valendo-nos de Pierre Bourdieu (1996; 2007), definimos Cinemas Negros como um campo, visando contribuir com dados, cuja ausência levou algumas pesquisas a definirem esse campo como um gênero cinematográfico e/ou movimento. No entanto, identificamos a pluralidade de pessoas negras em disputas por visibilidade e a ausência de homogeneidade temática e estética nas obras que realizam. Por isso, somente por meio da análise pluralista dos dados poderemos superar as indefinições que cercam esse campo da produção cinematográfica e audiovisual brasileira.
As cores na cinematografia do filme No coração do mar
Authors: Andrade Matheus , De Caldas Costa dos Santos Aline
Published: July 2024

O trabalho apresenta um exercício analítico sobre as cores na cinematografia do filme No coração do mar (Ron Howard, 2015, EUA). Discutimos a presença das camadas de cor nas imagens da obra, entendendo este elemento plástico, aplicado pela direção de fotografia, como um recurso dramático de suma relevância para a narrativa, o qual denominamos de aquarela fotográfica. No filme, as cores exercem um movimento gradativo de tons e matizes conforme o desenvolvimento da trama, tal qual uma tinta aquarelada sobre uma tela. Utilizamos uma metodologia de análise flexível e multidisciplinar para apontar como o método de referência utilizado pela direção de fotografia do filme fez entrelaçar as imagens em suas dimensões diversas e as cores em suas significações. Nosso estudo demonstra, com isso, características da cinematografia do diretor de fotografia Anthony Dod Mantle, pela destreza com que manuseia as cores no cinema.
O maneirismo no cinema brasileiro contemporâneo
Authors: Callou Hermano
Published: July 2024

Este artigo comenta a tendência maneirista que tem marcado o cinema independente brasileiro contemporâneo e sua relação com a conjuntura social e política do país durante o período de 2013 – 2018. A hipótese que o texto defende é a de que a adoção de uma postura maneirista permitiu acolher certas ansiedades sociais que marcaram o período, tornando-se expressão de uma descrença das formas modernas de experiência da história que, tradicionalmente, ofereceram inteligibilidade e legitimidade para a experiência de modernização brasileira. O texto propõe uma reconstrução do conceito de cinema maneirista, baseado em uma genealogia da crítica da maneira na história da arte, que articula a censura do maneirismo com a compreensão da história como uma singularidade em movimento, dirigida para um futuro em aberto. O artigo interpreta comparativamente uma constelação de filmes realizados durante os anos 2010, propondo um vínculo entre a postura maneirista e a recorrência de uma série de motivos históricos, nos quais os filmes procuraram elaborar a experiência de desenvolvimento econômico nacional da primeira metade da década e da crise política deflagrada pelo golpe parlamentar de 2016.
A Lightweight Sequential Convolutional Neural Network for Smart Grid Stability Analysis
Authors: Mewada Hiren , Syam Sundar L. , Patel Bimal , Desai Miral , Khan Adil
Published: July 2024

A Smart grid stability analysis is essential for ensuring modern power systems' reliable and secure operation. This approach helps identify potential instabilities and disturbances that can lead to blackouts or equipment failures. By analyzing the stability of the grid, operators can take proactive measures to maintain a stable and resilient power infrastructure. Monitoring smart grid data from various sources and analyzing how to control the stability of the grid are challenging tasks. A convolutional neural network (CNN) can effectively capture spatial dependencies and patterns from grid data and can help in enabling accurate prediction and classification of stability-related events in a power system. However, developing a CNN that has fewer learnable parameters and provides high accuracy is challenging. This paper presents a sequential CNN architecture to detect the stability of the Decentral Smart Grid Control (DSGC) system. A mathematical model of the 4-node start architecture of a smart grid was presented. Later, 12 parameter-based grid datasets from the UCI repository were used to validate the proposed network. The proposed CNN accepts sequential data to capture temporal dependencies in the data. The sequential process in a single dimension offers fewer learnable parameters, making the network more compact and computationally efficient. The proposed 11-layered CNN has a total of 12.7K learnable parameters. The detailed analysis of the proposed CNN using ambiguity and the t-SNE score suggested that the model can identify discriminative features for classifying data into stable and unstable classes. A comparison analysis of the quantitative parameters revealed that the model performed well, with 98.82%, 98.55%, 98.88%, and 98.77% accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, respectively.
Rebrendiranje Narodnog radija u Bravo! i radija Gold fm-a u Happy fm
Authors: Galić Marin
Published: July 2024

Komercijalne postaje na osnovi slušanosti i profila slušatelja određuju koncepciju i razvijaju svoj brend. U slučaju da postaja nema odgovarajuću slušanost, odnosno profil slušatelja zanimljiv oglašivačima, menadžment mora reagirati. Odluka o rebrendiranju najčešće se donosi s ciljem povećanja slušanosti, odnosno promjene imidža što privlači profil slušatelja koji je atraktivniji oglašivačima. Prema izvješću o slušanosti agencije Ipsos, među 136 komercijalnih radijskih postaja, najslušanija hrvatska postaja u trećem kvartalu 2022. bio je narodni, dok se Gold FM nalazio na 13. mjestu. Iako je bila najslušanija radijska postaja, narodni je u potpunosti rebrendiran te je 16. 11. 2022. postao bravo!, a Gold FM u rebrendiranju je 29. 11. 2022. postao Happy FM. Rad pomoću ankete provedene među slušateljima analizira učinkovitost rebrendiranja u smislu boljeg imidža i kvalitetnijeg profila slušatelja radijskih postaja, istražujući pritom razloge zbog kojih se menadžment odlučio za rebrendiranje, što nakladniku posljedično donosi veću slušanost i bolje poslovne rezultate. U istraživanju metodom telefonske ankete, provedenom u suradnji s agencijom Ipsos, intervjuirano je 12 000 osoba. Anketa je provedena u trima razdobljima: treći kvartal 2022., posljednji u kojem su narodni i Gold FM samostalno emitirali; četvrti kvartal 2022., u kojem je provedeno rebrendiranje radijskih postaja; drugi kvartal 2023., kada su se novi mediji – bravo! i Happy FM – već etablirali na hrvatskoj radijskoj sceni. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako je narodni rebrendiranjem tek djelomice uspio promijeniti svoj imidž, odnosno profil svojih slušatelja. Bravo! su počeli slušati mlađi, obrazovaniji i urbaniji slušatelji,u odnosu na publiku narodnog, ali je nakon rebrendiranja došlo do pada broja slušatelja. Gold FM pak nije bio u samom vrhu po slušanosti, ali je imao dobar imidž i kvalitetan profil slušatelja. Happy FM je nakon rebrendiranja imao znatno lošiju slušanost od Gold FM-a, a pritom je izgubio i pozitivan imidž i za oglašivače zanimljiv profil slušatelja svojeg prethodnika Gold FM-a.

This study aims to employ a machine learning algorithm (MLA) to predict CRDI
engine emissions and performance using alternative feedstock. This study
started with a diesel-SCOME- Methyl Acetate ternary mix. The engine was
tested with fuel injection time (FIT) of 23?, 21?, and 19? bTDC with exhaust
gas recirculation (EGR) levels of 10%, 15%, and 20% at estimated power
productivity. Retard injection time and increasing EGR rates reduced
in-cylinder peak pressure. Operating conditions with the maximum BTE were
21? bTDC and 10% EGR. Adjusting injection time and EGR reduced nitrogen
oxide relative to the baseline. Smoke opacity was 1% lower at 21? bTDC and
10% exhaust gas recirculation than in conventional diesel operation. Retard
injection time and exhaust gas recirculation increased HC and CO emissions.
However, MLAs predict CI engine operation and discharge properties. The long
short-term memory (LSTM) Model predicts engine output characteristics with a
squared correlation (R2) of 0.92 to 0.961. At the same time, mean relative
error (MRE) values ranged from 1.74 to 4.68%. These results show that the
LSTM models provide superior predictive capabilities in this investigation,
particularly when considering numerous variables to analyse engine
responses.
The protection of colonial heritage in the face of socio-economic dynamics (case study of downtown Ain-Beida-Algeria)
Authors: Chouaf Houria , Gherzouli Lazhar
Published: July 2024

Algeria has a rich heritage due to the succession of various civilizations on
its territory. However, the authenticity and cultural significance of its
built heritage is being lost. The historic center of Ain-Beida, in
particular, has undergone unplanned changes leading to inconsistency and
lack of integration. To understand the factors that have led to the
degradation of its architectural and urban framework, we have analyzed the
urban policy and heritage management of the city, as well as the urban
dynamics that have occurred in its historic center. Our analysis shows that
the deterioration of the colonial legacy is a result of the urban strategy
adopted by the Algerian state, the circumstances of the country, and the
proliferation of urban dynamics. These changes have had a significant impact
on the physical and functional aspects of the colonial buildings. In
Algeria, the succession of multiple civilizations on its territory has given
it a strong heritage potential. Lately, the built heritage tends to lose its
authenticity, its symbolic and cultural dimension. The city of Ain-Beida,
its historic center has continued to sketch images of inconsistency and lack
of integration following anarchic mutations. Faced with this observation, we
aim to focus on the factors that have led to the alteration of its
architectural and urban framework. To do this, this contribution opts for a
methodology which, on the one hand, is focused on the examination of the
urban policy of the city and on the management of the heritage, and on the
other hand, on the analysis of the urban dynamics occurred on its old
center. The result of the analysis showed that the urban strategy adopted by
the Algerian state through its legal arsenal and its institutional
approaches, in addition to the circumstances of the country, translated by
the opening of the marked, and which led to the proliferation of urban
dynamics, all played a role in the deteriration of the colonial legacy which
was exposed to profound changes in its physical and/or functional aspect.

Treatment of gastroesophageal junction carcinomas have been debated for many years. This type of carcinomas has been classified as either gastric or esophageal carcinomas until Siewert?s classification was established and they were defined as a distinct entity. Risk factors for the development of these cancers are gastroesophageal reflux and Barrett?s esophagus, obesity, Helycobacter pylori infection, smoking, and alcohol. Symptoms of this disease include retrosternal pain, dysphagia to aphagia, and weight loss. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy and pathohistological verification as well as CT of the chest and abdomen are crucial in establishing the diagnosis. Adenocarcinoma is predominant histological type of these tumors. The stage of the disease is defined by the TNM classification. Treatment of gastroesophageal junction cancer is complex, multidisciplinary, and multimodal, and involves the use of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, alone or in different combinations. Surgery is the major treatment modality for these tumors, especially in local stages. Radiotherapy is used in the treatment of these tumors in all stages of the disease, and especially in the multimodal treatment of locally advanced gastroesophageal junction cancer, both preoperatively and postoperatively, usually in combination with chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is used in the treatment of these cancers as preoperative, postoperative and systemic. Immunotherapy and target therapy, as new promising therapy, is usually applied in a systemic and postoperative approach. Future directions in the treatment of these cancers are directed towards new surgical procedures, new types of immunotherapy, as well as new radiotherapy techniques.
