40 years of adding more fructose to high fructose corn syrup than is safe, through the lens of malabsorption and altered gut health–gateways to chronic disease
Authors: DeChristopher Luanne Robalo
Published: August 2022

Labels do not disclose the excess-free-fructose content in foods/beverages. Objective was to estimate excess-free-fructose intake using USDA loss-adjusted-food-availability data (1970-2019) for high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and apple juice, major sources of unpaired fructose, for comparison with malabsorption dosages (~5g-children/~10g-adults). Daily intakes were calculated for HFCS that is generally-recognized-as-safe/(55% fructose/45% glucose), and variants (65/35, 60/40) with higher fructose-to-glucose ratios (1.9:1, 1.5:1), as measured by independent laboratories. Estimations include consumer-level-loss (CLL) allowances used before (20%), and after, subjective, retroactively-applied increases (34%), as recommended by corn-refiners (~2012).ResultsExcess-free-fructose daily intake for individuals consuming HFCS with an average 1.5:1 fructose-to-glucose ratio, ranged from 0.10 g/d in 1970, to 11.3 g/d in 1999, to 6.5 g/d in 2019, and for those consuming HFCS with an average 1.9:1 ratio, intakes ranged from 0.13 g/d to 16.9 g/d (1999), to 9.7 g/d in 2019, based upon estimates with a 20% CLL allowance. Intake exceeded dosages that trigger malabsorption (~5 g) around ~1980. By the early 1980’s, the tripling of apple juice intake, had added ~0.5 grams to average-per-capita excess-free-fructose intake. Contributions were higher (3.8 g /4-oz.) for individuals consuming apple juice consistent with a healthy eating pattern (4-oz. children, 8-oz. adults). This analysis did not account for contributions from crystalline fructose or agave syrup.ConclusionThe displacement of sucrose with HFCS, its ubiquitous presence in the US food supply, and industry practice of adding more fructose to HFCS than generally-recognized-as-safe, have contributed to unprecedented excess-free-fructose daily intake levels, malabsorption, gut dysbiosis and associated chronic disease.

Authors: Mshelia Isma'il Husain , Kpada Rakiya Yusuf , Jeffrey Usman Salami
Published: August 2022

As tourism becomes one of the industries generating huge revenue for the governments of many countries, Nigeria is yet to follow suit with many man-made and natural tourist attractions suffering from wanton neglect. This study examined the security implications of neglecting tourism in Nigeria with specific focus on Zuma Rock. Media reports examined revealed that the vicinity of the rock, being too uncared for, aids the occurrence of criminal acts such as armed robbery, bike snatching, drug dealing, sexual assaults and murder. A total of 384 respondents across five communities surrounding the Zuma Rock were surveyed. The study found that the residents of the communities live in fear due to not only the prevalence of violent crimes in the vicinity of the rock but also lack of belief in the effort of the formal social control agents. It is therefore recommended that the government should develop the destination while the residents should develop effective informal social control methods.

Published: August 2022

Background: The lack of knowledge of the biochemical processes in the treatment process of Lutuku constitutes a real problem. The study compares the enzymatic activity of transaminases in consumers of native Lutuku alcohol and non-consumers.Methods: This is a case-control study involving 40 Lutuku-consuming and healthy subjects. The enzymatic activities of GOT and GTP were performed using standard clinical chemical methods developed by BIOLAB.Results: The rate of TGO and TGP are 4 to 5 times higher in consumers of Lutuku than in healthy subjects. In the control group, the median TGO/TGP serum ratio was more pronounced in women (0.9667 U/l) than in men (0.88 U/l). Female alcoholics had a serum TGO/TGP ratio of 1, while males had a median ratio of 1.0275. Serum GOT/GTP ratios were correlated with serum GOT in both sex with respectively (r = 0.268 , p < 0.01) in men and (r= 0.499, p < 0.05) in women; and GTP (r = 0.236 , p < 0.01 ) only in men.Conclusion: Consumption of Lutuku induced four to five times more transaminase activities (TGO and TGP) compared to those observed in healthy.

Integrated science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is expanded to integrated STrEAM, where the “r” denotes the amalgamation of reading and writing elements to bridge the gap between STEM disciplines. Since integrated STrEAM is a new approach, it is pivotal to gauge the teachers’ self-efficacy in executing integrated STrEAM teaching. Therefore, this cross-sectional survey design reports on the effect of school location and years of teaching experience on the self-efficacy of primary science teachers towards integrated STrEAM teaching. For this purpose, the STrEAM Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale (STSES) was administered to 200 primary science teachers throughout the nation. The STSES consists of five subscales: STrEAM instructional strategies self-efficacy, STrEAM classroom management self-efficacy, STrEAM community involvement self-efficacy, STrEAM student engagement self-efficacy, and STrEAM outcome expectancy. Data obtained from the STSES survey was analysed using two-way Multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA) to identify the effects of school location and years of teaching experience towards self-efficacy perceived by the primary science teachers towards integrated STrEAM teaching. The findings show that school location and years of teaching experience significantly affect the self-efficacy perceived by the primary science teachers towards integrated STrEAM teaching. School location and years of teaching experience also have a significant interaction effect (Wilks’ lambda = 0.860, F (15, 519) = 1.950, p < 0.005) on primary science teachers towards integrated STrEAM teaching. The finding of this study is resourceful for the STEM stakeholders and policy makers to design the STrEAM teaching materials for training the teachers.

The Quran is a source of knowledge for mankind given to Prophet Muhammad as a guidance by Allah the Almighty. Memorising the Quran began by Prophet Muhammad, his companions and continued by scholars who are experts in their field. This is conducted to preserve the accuracy of the contents of the sacred source of Islamic teaching. This study aims to identify the effect of the memorisation of the Quran (hereafter referred as hifz al-Quran) achievement on the academic performance of secondary school students. The sample of the study consist of 83 students of a maahad tahfiz school in Pahang. Their performance in memorising the Quran and academic was recorded and analysed using descriptive statistics, coefficient of variation, correlation, and regression analysis. The finding shows the distribution in academic performance is equally consistent as compared to memorising the Quran based on the result of value coefficient of variation. The results also show that there is a significant positive relationship between students’ hifz performance and academic performance which can be initially presumed that the students who excel in memorising Quran are more likely to excel in their academic field. Analysis of regression indicated that memorising the Quran has significant effect on academic performance where for every one marks of increase in memorising the Quran, the marks for academic performance also increase by 0.58. There are 22% of total variation in academic performance of student influenced by memorising the Quran. Therefore, the study serves a beautiful insight hidden on the effect of the Quran to academic performance. The Quran memorising culture should be therefore instilled for the development of the Muslim identity, values and the development of Islam in general.
Teaching Machines: The History of Personalized Learning, 2021.
Authors: Tursunkulova Irina
Published: August 2022

Teaching Machines by journalist Audrey Watters blends the historical and political events of 1920-1960s in the United States and the changes in the K-12 school system, chronicling the rapid development of educational technology markets to show the inception and evolution of teaching machines. The author expresses her indignance towards Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who continue launching educational businesses, under the assumption that their “new” technological breakthrough will change the “stagnant” field of education technology. This book explicates how the “new idea” of personalized learning offered by current educational technology companies and industries dates back a century to the 1920s.
Probing hadronic interactions with measurements from the Pierre Auger Observatory
Authors: Andrada Belén
Published: August 2022

The Pierre Auger Observatory is the largest facility in the world to study ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. It has a hybrid detection technique that combines the observation of the longitudinal development of extensive air showers and the measurement of their particles at the ground. This capability has opened the possibility to probe hadronic interactions taking place at energies well beyond those accessible by human-made accelerators. In this report, we present a selection of the latest results on hadronic interactions with measurements from the Pierre Auger Observatory. These data span over three decades in energy, showing the tension between data from the muon component of air showers and predictions based on the most updated hadronic interaction models.
Intermittency analysis in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Authors: Li Zhiming , Wu Jin
Published: August 2022

Local density fluctuations near the QCD critical point can be probed
by an intermittency analysis of power-law behavior on scaled factorial
moments in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We study the second-order
scaled factorial moment in Au + Au collisions at
\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}sNN
= 7.7-200 GeV from the UrQMD model. Since the background subtraction and
efficiency correction are two important aspects in this measurement, we
propose a cumulative variable method to remove background contribution
and a cell-by-cell method for efficiency correction in the intermittency
analysis.
The impact of ATLAS $V$+jet measurements on PDF fits
Authors: Conroy Eimear
Published: August 2022

The production of W/Z-bosons in association with jets is an important test of perturbative QCD predictions and also yields information about the parton distribution functions of the proton. We present fits to determine PDFs using inclusive W/Z-boson and W/Z+jets measurements from the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The ATLAS measurements are used in combination with deep-inelastic scattering data from HERA. An improved determination of the sea-quark densities at high Bjorken-x is seen, while confirming a strange-quark density similar in size to the up- and down-sea-quark densities in the range x<0.02 found by previous ATLAS analyses.

SUNNI: MAKNA, ACUAN DAN RAGAM
Authors: Maarif Zainul
Published: August 2022

Sunni or Sunnism stands for Ahlu As-Sunnah wa al-Jamā`ah which is also called ASWAJA. Many people publish and debate it without clear meaning and reference. This article is a demonstrative-linguistic study that outlines the meaning and reference to the term "Sunni" to understand it clearly. This research shows that Sunnis have at least two groups. First, Sunni Ahlu Al- Ḥadīts, the path of Ibn Hanbal and Ibn Taimiyyah, which tends to be puritan and at some point raises hardline intolerant Muslims. Second, moderate Sunnis, who opened the space for fiqh schools other than Ibn Hanbal, and chooses to refer to moderate Islamic thinkers, such as Ash-Shāfi'i in fiqh (Islamic law), Al-Asy`ari in kalam (Islamic theology) and Al -Ghazali in Sufism (Islamic mysticism). The two Sunni groups were both Ahlu as-Sunnah wa al-Jamā`ah. The first group tends to embody the phrase Ahlu as-Sunnah wa al-Jamā'ah terminologically (iṣṭilāḥan), while the second group tends to display the phrase linguistically (lughatan). AbstrakSunni atau Sunnisme adalah singkatan dari Ahlu As-Sunnah wa al-Jamā`ah yang disebut juga dengan ASWAJA. Banyak orang yang mempublikasikan dan memperdebatkannya tanpa makna dan acuan jelas. Artikel ini adalah kajian demonstratif-linguistik yang mengurai makna dan acuan term “Sunni” untuk mengetahuinya secara jelas. Hasil peneltian menunjukkan bahwa bahwa Sunni sedikitnya ada dua kelompok. Pertama, Sunni Ahlu Al-Ḥadīts jalur Ibn Hanbal dan Ibn Taimiyyah, yang cenderung puritan dan pada titik tertentu memunculkan muslim-muslim garis keras yang tidak toleran. Kedua, Sunni moderat, yang membuka ruang bagi madzhab fikih selain Ibn Hanbal, dan memilih merujuk pada para pemikir Islam moderat, seperti Asy-Syafi`i dalam fikih (hukum Islam), Al-Asy`ari dalam kalam (teologi Islam) dan Al-Ghazali dalam tasawuf (mistisisme Islam). Dua kelompok Sunni tersebut sama-sama Ahlu as-Sunnah wa al-Jamā`ah. Kelompok pertama cenderung mengejawantahkan frase Ahlu as-Sunnah wa al-Jamā`ah secara terminologis (iṣṭilāḥan), sementara kelompok kedua cenderung menampilkan frase tersebut secara linguistik (lughatan).

The paper traced the origin of Shia in Nigeria. Identified the factors that facilitated the spread of Shia in Nigeria. A desk review methodology was adopted. The study found out that the Iranian government has devoted a lot of funds to Africa and under the pretext of aid in the area of building Mosques, establishing schools and giving the scholarship to study in Iran. It has been observed that ignorance of Shia among most Islamic scholars, teachers, and preachers has contributed its spread until when Nigerians started studying in Universities in Saudi Arabia, the real identity of Shia is known.
Bullying di desantren: Interaksi Tasawuf dan Teori Pengembangan Fitrah dalam Pendidikan Islam
Authors: Sofyan Nurul Hikmah
Published: August 2022

This study aims to explain the bullies and the victims of bullying based on Islamic psychology perspective that uses tasawuf approach (sufistic psychology) through documentation as data collecting technique. In more detail, this research is focused on strengthening the theory of the development of student’s nature as the main vision of Islamic education. Islamic education requires an explanation of sufistic psychology which does have a primary concern in developing all potential fitrah in human. Sufistic Psychology of Imam Al-Gazali summarized in Kimiyāu Al-Sa’ādah is used by researcher to read and understand the behavior of bullies and victims. Bullies are understood as individuals who have strong dominance in the power of their gaḍab so they can easily attack victims. Meanwhile, victims are understood as individuals who do not use the power of gaḍab effectively. Victims are lack of lust so that there is no courage and ability to defend themselves when faced with bullying toward them. Responding to such problem, sufistic psychology requires control over the actualization of gaḍab and syahwat without intending to kill these two potentials.

This paper examines about “perang obor” tradition seen from the perspective of the maqasid al-Sharia, especially maslahah al-mursalah. This needs to be studied, because Indonesia is a country that has many rituals or traditions in almost every region. On the other hand, there are some people who think that the rituals in each region are more inclined towards TBC (Taqlid Bid'ah Churafat). This research was conducted in Tegal Sambi Jepara with the ushul fiqh approach. Therefore, the study of maqasid al-Sharia, especially maslahah al mursalah is needed; it is because ritual be part of Indonesian society, especially Javanese society. The people of Tegal Sambi conduct a torch war ritual, meaning that the ritual brings their benefits, one of which is to give thanks to God and maintain friendship with neighbors.
Kebesaran Agama dalam Negara (Studi atas Pandangan Emile Durkheim)
Authors: Ismanto Kuat , Mulia R.A.
Published: August 2022

Tulisan ini berusaha untuk menjawab pertanyaan apakah sebuah agama itu perlu menjadi besar? dan jika perlu menjadi besar, apa yang menjadi ukurannya. Data-data penelitian ini diperoleh melalui pembacaan atas buku, artikel jurnal, website, dokumen-dokumen lain yang sesuai dengan tema. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan metode analisis isi. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa agama perlu untuk menjadi besar, sebab agama diturunkan oleh Tuhan sebagai pedoman hidup bagi penganutnya. Agama mengajarkan kebaikan, kemanusian, perdamaian, dan lainnya, serta memerintahkan kepada penganutnya untuk mewujudkannnya. Meskipun menurut Dukheim, agama adalah sesuatu yang individual, tetapi untuk mewujudkan kemanfaatann perlu diwujudkan pelembagaan. Ukuran kebesaran agama tak sepatutnya diukur melalui jumlah penganut semata, tetapi sejauhmana agama itu mampu memberi kebaikan atas persoalan yang sedang dialami manusia. Atau diperluas, agama yang baik adalah agama yang mampu menjadi problem solver, bukan saja bagi penganutnya tetapi juga penganut agama lain. Meminjam pemikiran Weber bahwa agama bisa difungsikan sebagai pranata sosial yang baik.
Analisis Kritis Pemikiran Pendidikan Progresif Abdurrahman Wahid
Authors: Asiyah Nur
Published: August 2022

Ada dua pemaknaan ketika memperbincangkan pendidikan, pertama, pendidikan adalah memanusiakan manusia dan kedua, pendidikan adalah transfer budaya. Pendidikan Islam adalah pendidikan yang membebaskan manusia untuk mengembangkan potensi yang dimiliki sesuai dengan fitrahnya. Pendidikan Islam juga harus mampu menjembatani berbagai keragaman yang ada pada masyarakat Indonesia yaitu dengan pendidikan berbasis multikulturalisme. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan sosio kultural. Menurut Abdurrahman Wahid, pendidikan Islam harus mampu memadukan sesuatu yang tradisional dan modern dengan tidak melupakan ajaran Islam. Pemikiran Gus Dur tentang pendidikan Islam sering disebut dengan neomodernisme, yaitu suatu gerakanprogresif dalam pemikiran Islam yang tidak hanya timbul dari modernisme Islam, tetapi juga tertarik pada pengetahuan tradisional.

Identification of the Subsurface Structure of Geothermal Working Area of the Hamiding Mountain, North Maluku through Land Surface Temperature (LST) Data and Forward Modeling with the Gravity Method
Authors: Nafian Muhammad , Gunawan Belista , Permana Nanda Ridki , Umam Rofiqul
Published: August 2022

The Mount Hamiding area has one of the largest geothermal potentials in Indonesia to be exploited. Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of knowing the subsurface structure in the area using the gravity method. To correlate gravity data in order to obtain parameters to measure the increase in surface temperature using supporting data is land surface temperature. Derivative analysis and 2D modeling carried out by forward modeling is one method that can strengthen the geothermal potential in the area. Based on the Land Surface Temperature map, the temperature around the geothermal prospect area is 22 – 25 0C. The results of the derivative analysis show that the geothermal prospect of Mount Hamiding is controlled by two different faults, a fault due to the depression of the old Hamiding caldera and a local fault under the surface of Mount Dukono, which is confirmed as a reverse fault. While the 2D modeling identified the geothermal reservoir layer, which is estimated to have a density of 1.59 gr/cc and consists of a mixture of tuff and minor lava, where the contents of this reservoir are water dominant due to the relatively low-density value with a depth of -411 – (-1280) m, above the reservoir layer it is suspected that the tuff and clay insert layer has a density of 2.56 gr/cc with a depth of 310 – (-1280) m, and the covering layer which is presumed to be a clay cap layer has a density of 1.39 gr/cc with a depth of 870 – (-620). ©2022 JNSMR UIN Walisongo.

Objective:

Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Experimental studies reported that some plants in the genus of Psoralea (Fabaceae family) show anticancer potential. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of Psoralea drupacea extract (PDE) on HepG2 liver cancer cells.

Methods:

The proliferation, cell cycle, and migration of HepG2 cells were determined by thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide test, propidium iodide staining, and scratch assay, respectively. The effects of PDE on the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and angiogenesis were evaluated by the gelatin zymography method and chicken chorioallantoic membrane model, respectively.

Results:

The culture of HepG2 cells in the presence of PDE (24 hr and 48 hr) significantly reduced their viability (at a concentration of ≥ 50 µg/mL) and increased the percentage of cells in the sub-G1 stage. PDE also increased the antiproliferative and proapoptotic activities of doxorubicin (3 and 6 µg/mL). The extract significantly decreased the generation of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation in the cells. Moreover, PDE (25 and 50 µg/mL) significantly suppressed the migration ability of HepG2 cells, which was associated with inhibition in the activity of MMP2 and MMP9 (50 µg/mL). Furthermore, treatment with PDE significantly reduced the number and diameter of vessels in the chick chorioallantoic membrane.

Conclusion:

PDE decreased the survival and cell cycle progression of liver cancer cells through a mechanism other than oxidative stress. This extract also showed an anti-angiogenesis effect and diminished the migration ability of HepG2 cells by inhibiting MMP activity
Parkinson Disease: Molecular Biology, Pathophysiology and Biomarkers
Authors: Siddiqui Sarfraj Ahmad , Habiba Bentham Science Publisher , Arshad Md
Published: August 2022

Parkinson disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects
motor control of the body. The disorder is associated with the loss of neurons due to
formation of protein aggregates that leads to the development of apoptosis and
degeneration of the neurons. The disease progresses slowly, making it difficult to
identify it at early stage. But the availability of potential therapeutic biomarkers in
analysis and early identification of PD is of great importance. The current review
discusses here the molecular biology, pathophysiology and availability of potential
biomarkers associated with the PD condition.

The intake of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) can lead to poor productivity and diseases in birds. Thus, it is important to minimize the toxic effects of AFB1. The objective of this study was to evaluate the carcass yield and haematological profile of broilers fed diets containing AFB1 added with Mycosorb. A total of 240-day old broiler chicks were randomly distributed to 24 pens (10 birds/pen). The experiment was designed using a 4 x 2 factorial arrangement with two different factors, namely aflatoxin level and Mycosorb. The treatments were control diets, control diets added with Mycosorb, diets containing 10.36 ppb AFB1, diets containing 10.36 ppb AFB1 added with Mycosorb, diets containing 26.97 ppb AFB1, diets containing 26.97 ppb AFB1 added with Mycosorb, diets containing 61.06 ppb AFB1, diets containing 61.06 ppb AFB1 added with Mycosorb. There was an interaction (p<0.05 to 0.01) between AFB1 level and Mycosorb on the white blood cells (WBC) and litter/excreta score (LES), but not (p>0.05) in tcarcass traits (CT), lymphoid organ weight (LOW), and haematological profile (HP) of broilers. Level of AFB1 did not affect (p>0.05) all CT, LOW, and HP, but it affected (p<0.001) the LES. Mycosorb did not improve (p>0.05) CT, LOW and HP of broilers. In conclusions, 1) dietary Mycosorb in afla-treated diets improved litter quality and reduced white blood cell counts of broilers; 2) the AFB1 level up to 61.06 ppb did not impair carcass yield, lymphoid organ weights and other haematological index of broilers.
The Effects of Nitrogen sources in the concentrates on N utilization and production performances of dairy goats

Studies in young goats showed that feeding different N supplements did not significantly affect growth rate, rumen digestion, or N metabolism. It is unclear whether this finding is also applicable to lactating dairy goats. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combinations of barley meal with soybean meal, cottonseed meal, or urea in high energy concentrate on nutrient digestion, milk-feed efficiency, milk production, and Nitrogen balance in dairy goats fed on barley hay as a basal diet. Four isoenergetic and isonitrogenous concentrate with different N sources were formulated and fed on lactating Saanen goats in a 4 x 4 Latin square design. The results showed that lactating Saanen goats producing 1.3 to 1.5 litre of milk per day and fed on a concentrate containing 1.7 % N in a high energy diet capable to sustain similar milk protein and N balance as that given concentrate with 2.2 % dietary N. Total nutrient intakes, nutrient digestion, milk-feed efficiency and milk production lactating Saanen goats was not affected by the source of dietary N. The results indicate that including urea in a supplement can maintain a similar level of milk yield, milk protein and milk efficiency in goats as can the feeding of more expensive soybean and cottonseed meals provided there is sufficient readily available dietary energy.

GDFP is a standard guideline for producing good milk quality and efficient production system. GDFP implementation has been less attention among the dairy smallholder farmers. The smallholder farmers are classified into three categories depending on animal ownership; strata 1 (1-3 AU), strata 2 (4-6 AU), and strata 3 (>7 AU). This research determines the score of GDFP implementation on smallholder farmers in East Java. The total respondents were 56, with 325 dairy cattle. A questionnaire and field observations were used to collect data using the survey method. The farmers were interviewed using a prepared questionnaire with general information about their farms and questions about GDFP implementation. The result showed that the score of GDFP implementation in all strata of smallholder farmers in East Java Indonesia in 6 aspects as follows: animal health was “good enough” (score 2.68-2.70), milking hygiene was “good” (score 3.19-3.42), nutrition was “good enough” (score 2.86-2.97) in strata I and III and “good” for strata II (score 3.03), animal welfare was “good enough” (2.56-2.60), the environment was "good enough" (2.34-2.50) and socio-economic management is “not good” (score GDFP = 1.60-1.92).
(Ver)dwalen in de stad als weefsel: Een dramaturgische reflectie over de stad, het weven en het dwalen
Authors: Behaegel Julie
Published: August 2022

In de zomer van 2018 verhuisde ik van Gent naar Brussel. Mijn vele uitstapjes op Brussels grondgebied ten spijt, bevond ik mij opnieuw op onbekend terrein. Aan de hand van verschillende dwaaltochten, eerst door mijn eigen wijk en vervolgens ook verder doorheen de stad, leerde ik stap voor stap mijn nieuwe woonomgeving kennen. Iets later, in het najaar van 2018 leerde ik weven van een oudere vrouw, genaamd Kristien. De ambacht van het weven deed me met een frisse blik kijken naar mijn eigen dwaaltochten door het stedelijke weefsel. Is het dwalen als een losse draad, die op een bestaand stuk stof wordt geborduurd of verweeft het zich met stedelijke weefsel? En hoe ziet dat stedelijke weefsel er dan uit?
Dit artikel biedt een dramaturgische reflectie op het dwalen, het weven en de stad. De textiele reeks Materials van Hana Miletic en het videowerk Mall of Europe van Emma van der Put dienen hiervoor als illustratie. Uiteindelijk hoop ik een antwoord te bieden op de vraag wat het betekent om te dwalen in de stad als weefsel.

Downward continuation of airborne gravimetry data by means of spherical radial basis functions
Authors: Sugaipova Leyla , Neyman Yury
Published: August 2022

The problem of downward continuation of airborne gravimetry data is discussed. Use of spherical radial

basis functions (SRBF) to solve this ill-posed problem is proposed. Gravity disturbances observed at

flight high are continued downward to disturbing potential. The SRBF method is numerically tested

using synthesised data for flight heights 2000 m, 4600 m and 6000 m and grid steps 1 arcmin and

2.5 arcmin in area bounded by colatitudes 40°, 43° and longitudes 153°, 157° (spherical coordinates).

The experiments prove that the SRBF method can provide stable and accurate results. Moreover, as a

result of this procedure one have an approximator in the form of a linear combination of SRBF which

allows to determine the values of different transforms of potential by applying the corresponding

operators to this expression.
A Metaphysical Approach to the Philosophy of History: An Introduction to a Universality
Authors: Rivers Theodore John
Published: August 2022

If history is aligned with metaphysics, it can promote universality, and until this alignment occurs, one culture, or one people, or one age has little chance of being successfully compared with another. Individual histories of isolated periods of time, such as ancient Egypt, or Aztec America, or the age of Louis XIV are important individually, but they confer little meaning when compared with others, that is, if they are comparable at all. It is the task of historians to search for humanity among all humans who lived in bygone ages. Certainly, universality indicates that the world is the result of a process of individuals pulling together and pushing apart, of support for underlying proposals and denials of the same. History signifies a process that is the result of the unknown, and a process is simply a series of steps, actions, or procedures producing a result. Whether the result is desirable is irrelevant to the process itself because the latter manifests an indifference to its outcome.
