The potential for coastal resources in the Sekotong region, West Nusa Tenggara is very large both from an ecological and economic perspective. Various types of aquatic biota, both macroorganisms and microorganisms such as phytoplankton, can be found in this area. Phytoplankton can generally be used as a bioindicator to monitor water conditions, pollution and eutrophication. This research aims to determine the composition of the abundance and community of phytoplankton in the Sekotong coastal area. This research was carried out in January 2023 using a descriptive method, namely taking and measuring samples in the field and then describing the results. The highest phytoplankton abundance results obtained were 8640 cells/l, which is included in the oligotrophic or low category. Meanwhile, the phytoplankton composition found consisted of Chrysophyta and Cyanophyta. The results of the dominance index range from 0.19 to 0.34, which means low dominance, while the diversity index ranges from 0.91 to 1.71, which means moderate diversity. Water quality conditions show normal water values. So in general, the condition of the phytoplankton community in the Sekotong Beach area is still in the normal category with low abundance.

The formation of reactive oxygen species, which initiate lipid peroxidation of membranes and disruption of all membrane-associated processes, is one of the critical factors causing seed senescence and loss of germinability. Melatonin is currently considered one of the powerful antioxidant bioregulators that influence many plant functions, including their resistance to stress factors and seed germination. However, the effect of melatonin on the germination of old triticale and rye seeds has not been specifically investigated. The work aimed to study the effect of melatonin treatment and the well-known procedure of hydropriming (soaking in water with subsequent drying of seeds) on the germination of seeds of triticale ‘Raritet’ and rye ‘Pamyat Khudoerka’ with low germination capacity and the state of antioxidant system in seedlings. Hydropriming had a small but significant effect on the germination of triticale seeds at p ≤ 0.05 and significantly increased the germination of rye seeds. Melatonin treatment positively impacted both crop seed germination and significantly exceeded the effects of hydropriming. The most significant effect was observed when melatonin was used at a concentration of 20 μM. The accumulation of shoot and root biomass also increased under hydropriming and (to a greater extent) melatonin. Melatonin treatment led to a significant decrease in the generation of superoxide anion radical and the content of hydrogen peroxide and malonic dialdehyde, a product of lipid peroxidation, in seedlings of both crops. Additionally, melatonin increased the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase in both crops. The anthocyanin content increased in the seedlings of both cereals under the influence of melatonin. The effect of hydropriming on indicators characterising the prooxidant and antioxidant balance was insignificant. A conclusion was drawn on the ability of exogenous melatonin to enhance the germination of old triticale and rye seeds and the connection of this effect with the regulation of the antioxidant system.

Conclusion: This study underscores that environmental criticism is a cultural discourse. The relationship between humans and their environment fundamentally represents a connection between culture and nature, with our perception of it being a cultural construct.
Reading of Racial Profiling in Jodi Picoult’s Small Great Things
Authors: Mohammed Ahmed Sabah , Hassan Mohamad Fleih
Published: March 2024

Objectives: This study highlights the notion that racism occurs when people with personal or institutional power use their privilege in defining others based on their skin color or race. Racial profiling, an extension to systemic racism, is any act of stereotyping exercised against people of different race or color. Past studies approached racial profiling in the fields of police inspections only. However, racial profiling in Jodi Picoult’s Small Great Things is not studied yet. The study investigates racial profiling against major characters in Picoult's novel.

Top of Form

Methods: The study employs Delgado and Stefancic’s Critical Race Theory (2017). The CRT’s tenets of ‘Racism is Common, not Aberrational’, ‘Race is Socially Constructed’ and ‘Unique Voice of Color’ are the methodological tools used in the novel analysis.

Results: Through the study of racial profiling exercized against “Ruth” in light of Critical Race Theory, this study introduces different acts of racial profiling faced by Ruth in various places besides the police inspections due to Ruth’s African roots. With the help of ‘Unique Voice of Color’, Ruth has created her own anti-discourse to racial profiling and proved the falsification of these stereotypical images.   

Conclusions: With the help of CRT’s tenets, the study concludes that racial profiling is not solely exercised in the police inspections, but exercised in all aspects in the life of people of color. It also concludes that white citizens do not accept people of color as equal partners in America because of the stereotypical images that trigger racial profiling everywhere againts them.

Angiotomografia das artérias coronárias na avaliação da dor torácica
Authors: Jorge Andion Torreão  , José Rocha Filho
Published: March 2024

A dor torácica é um dos principais sintomas em pacientes que procuram o departamento de emergência, bem como nos consultórios dos cardiologistas, e tal preocupação não deve ser negligenciada. A maioria dos pacientes que se apresentam com dor torácica no PA tem causas não-cardíacas para a dor, entretanto, aqueles em que a síndrome coronariana aguda (SCA) é negligenciada, as taxas de mortalidade podem chegar de 10 a 20%, algo que ocorre em cerca de 2 a 3% dos pacientes que recebem alta do PA. A angiotomografia de coronárias (Angio-TC) é um método diagnóstico que vem sendo utilizado em algumas situações para o manejo, estadiamento e prognóstico de pessoas com DAC (Figura 1). Se trata de um exame rápido e com excelente acurácia para detecção de DAC, porém ainda custoso, envolve radiação ionizante e o uso do contraste iodado endovenoso. Além disso, envolve, na maioria das situações, o uso de medicações para redução da frequência cardíaca, tais como betabloqueadores e vasodilatador, como nitrato. A Angio-TC, quando realizada em condições ideais, oferece uma excelente visão, tanto luminal quanto parietal das artérias coronárias, podendo diagnosticar placas ateroscleróticas, mesmo antes de qualquer repercussão hemodinâmica (Figura 2). Tal característica, até o momento, é exclusiva da Angio-TC, como método diagnóstico não invasivo. Esse artigo tem como objetivo discutir o papel na Angio-TC em pessoas com dor torácica, avaliando sua acurácia diagnóstica, valor prognóstico, custo-efetividade, bem como perspectivas reais de técnicas novas, complementares à avaliação anatômica.

A Shape Generation Method by Fitting Ordered Points for a Snake Robot
Authors: Lu Jingwen
Published: March 2024

This paper proposes a method for a snake robot to fit ordered points and
thus generate body shape. A non-smooth backbone curve consisting of
straight line segments is constructed by sequentially connecting the
ordered points, and then the bending and twist angles at the
singularities are obtained iteratively to obtain the joint angles of the
snake robot. Fitting the shape of a snake robot using this method does
not depend on obtaining a backbone curve with known curvature and
torsion, greatly expanding the applicability of the fitting method. In
this paper, the validity of the fitting method is verified by
simulation, which generates a shape that resembled a biological snake
coiled on the ground.
Analytical Modeling of a Triple-Band Artificial Magnetic Conductor
Authors: Hocine Meskine , Mouffok Lila
Published: March 2024

Understanding and optimizing the behavior of artificial magnetic conductors require modeling them through analytical means, which can be challenging due to their complex structures. In this paper, a triple-band artificial magnetic conductor is presented, exhibiting an in-phase reflection of incident waves at 1.21 GHz, 1.61 GHz, and 2.46 GHz. The design is based on a triple square loop structure, where each frequency is controlled by one square loop. Additionally, an analytical model is proposed to predict the operating frequencies of the artificial magnetic conductor.
Engineering ethics mindset: fostering cognitive change in ICT studies
Authors: Ruiz-García Aurelio , Álvarez Mireia López , Hernández-Leo Davinia
Published: March 2024

1) Contribution: Course aimed at addressing the documented enculturation
process in engineering education, which leads to a cognitive dissonance
in students between technical and social dimensions, immobilizing the
latter. From a learning design perspective, resolving this cognitive
dissonance requires the development of learning strategies targeted at
achieving a conceptual change. We argue that the minimum needed prior
knowledge for this change to happen is already present in students. 2)
Background: Engineering education does not happen in isolated but social
contexts and is, subsequently, inherently sociotechnical. Despite the
growing recognition of the necessity to promote a broader comprehension
of engineering identities, there is a disparity in the way curricula are
effectively designed and implemented, if they are. The intricate nature
of ethics within engineering, encompassing individual, institutional,
and cultural dimensions, requires approaches that are both
transformative and feasible. 3) Intended Outcomes: The course was
designed following the ICAP (Interactive, Constructive, Active, and
Passive) framework on cognitive engagement with a focus on mobilizing
existing prior knowledge in both technical and social realms, and
assessing its impact on students’ approach to learning and their
identity as engineers. 4) Application Design: The examination of pre-and
post-learning tasks embedded in the learning design indicates that the
deliberate activation of students’ pre-existing knowledge in ethical,
political, cultural, and social domains enhances their awareness of
their cognitive dissonance. 5) Findings: The findings suggest that the
course activates students’ pre-existing knowledge, fostering awareness
of cognitive dissonance, and encouraging purposeful engagement with
broader knowledge when tackling engineering challenges.

Published: March 2024

The development of emerging photovoltaic technology has promoted the
innovation of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), not only in
lower cost and simpler processing technology but also in a variety of
additional features, such as flexibility and transparency.
Semi-transparent solar cells that allow partial transmission of visible
light are excellent candidates for BIPVs owing to their unique
properties and potential for integrated energy solutions. In this work,
we present a straightforward and highly reproducible protocol for
depositing extremely uniform and ultra-thin perovskite layers. Our
solution-processed perovskite solar cells, fabricated on flexible
polymer 2 substrates with large active area (1 cm2), achieved a
noteworthy 5.7% power conversion efficiency (PCE) under standard
conditions (AM 1.5G radiation, 100 mW cm-2) accompanied by an Average
Visible Transmittance (AVT) of 21.5% for full device architecture with
10 nm thick silver electrode. We present a simple yet elegant
fabrication procedure for semi-transparent perovskite solar cells
without any additional antireflective layers. Furthermore, we fabricated
working perovskite solar cells with the thinnest active layer of
spin-coated MAPbI reported so far (10 nm) exhibiting
1.9% PCE and 41.1% AVT (62.9% AVT without electrode). These results
hold great promise for the integration of perovskite-based
semi-transparent solar cells into real-world applications, advancing the
landscape of renewable energy.

Published: March 2024

The Contrastive Learning for blind Hyperspectral Unmixing (CLHU) is a
self-supervised deep learning approach for blind hyperspectral unmixing
by jointly estimating the endmembers and fractional abundances. Unlike
existing deep learning methods that rely on reconstruction capabilities,
CLHU leverages the input-endmembers relationship for abundance
estimation. Extensive experiments demonstrate CLHU’s effectiveness,
achieving state-of-the-art performance in hyperspectral unmixing. 
Furthermore, the experimental findings indicate that endmember
interactions are considered during the estimation process by the
proposed method, particularly in non-linear problem contexts. This novel
approach offers a promising perspective for the field and holds
potential for further enhancements in hyperspectral unmixing tasks.

Authors: Saeed Aniqa
Published: March 2024

Background and Aims: The study identified the risks of increased screen time on generation z considering two parameters i.e., insomnia and obesity and the moderating role of self-control.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted by convenient sampling technique. The survey only included people who were born between 1997 and 2002. The analysis of the effects of variables took into account only a few parameters. Discriminant validity and convergent validity was used to check reliability and validity while path coefficient analyzed the hypothesis.
Results: Binge-watching has positive significant impact on insomnia and obesity (p<0.05), and the self-control strongly effect the relationship of binge-watching, obesity and insomnia as a moderator (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Binge-watching caused insomnia and obesity while self-control in direct relation to obesity and insomnia controlled the prevalence rate. The moderating role of self-control showed that insufficiency of self-control during binge-watching led to obesity and insomnia. The outcome indicated that Generation Z needs to be encouraged to practice self-control through public health initiatives, social media, seminars, workshops, etc. At the same time, people need to be made aware of how binge-watching affects their health.
Keywords: Insomnia, obesity, self-control, screen time, technology, mortality, exercise.

Background: Carotid body tumors are rare neuroendocrine tumors originating from the autonomic nervous system; the annual incidence is approximately 0.8% per 100,000 people per year with a predisposition in females. Papillary thyroid cancer is a type of differentiated cancer derived from the follicular cells of the gland. It has an incidence of 13.5% per 100,000 with a mortality of 0.5% per 100,000 people, affecting women more frequently. The association of papillary thyroid cancer with tumors of the carotid body is uncommon with few cases reported in the literature. Surgery is the main method of therapy for patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. In the hands of expert surgeons, it presents a low risk of complications, offering the patient a good prognosis and a good quality of life. In cases of carotid glomus, surgical resection is chosen in small tumors, in young patients and tumors that do not invade the base of the skull. We present the case of a patient with papillary thyroid cancer associated with carotid paraganglioma that was managed with surgical resolution in a single operation.

Amygdaloid cysts also known as lymphoepithelial cysts or branchial cleft cysts are rare and benign dysembryological cystic tumors that develop in the antero-lateral part of the neck; they represent 2% of laterocervical tumors of the neck. Originating from the second branchial cleft, due to the persistence of the cervical sinus during the differentiation of the branchial apparatus. We report the case of a 34-year-old man who consulted for a huge right laterocervical swelling that had been gradually increasing in volume for 8 months without any other associated symptoms. A cervicotomy and a complete resection of the cyst was performed, histopathological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of the amygdaloid cyst without signs of malignancy. The aims of this study are to analyze the anatomo-clinical features and to discuss the modalities of care and the therapeutic indications of this affection.
The Dynamics of Cameroon’s Major National Dialogue and Attempts at Resolving the Anglophone Crisis since 2016: Understanding National and International Responses
Authors: Sobseh Emmanuel Yenkong
Published: March 2024

This paper revisits the historical roots and attempts by national and international parties in preventing and resolving the Anglophone Crisis since the last phase of its escalation in 2016. It argues that, the Major National Dialogue that was influenced by bottom-up pressures from national, regional, and international actors in the form of protests and armed confrontations, has not successfully addressed the conflict. While the Government thinks that the Dialogue at the Conference Centre in Yaoundé from 30 September to 4 October 2019 was successful, leaders of opposition parties, civil society activists and separatist groups responses show that it was a big failure and a “non-event” that had nothing to do with their struggle for separation and independence. The study which depended on both the rich primary and secondary sources that exist on post-independence Cameroon, argues that, the failure of both the Swiss-led and Canadian-led peace talks and the inability of the government to cooperate with external parties and separatist leaders has given way to more violence in the regions. The study concludes that, for peace and security to be restored, the government of Cameroon must put aside its interests and reorganize an inclusive, broad-based and transparent National Dialogue without preconditions, especially as the crisis has rendered the entire Anglophone regions ungovernable.
