Authors:   Department of Applied Physics, Tafila Technical University, Tafila, Jordan, Altarawneh Derar
Published: October 2024

A wide study of environmental radioactivity levels in soil samples from Southern Almazar-Alkarak in Jordan was performed to develop a radiological map of the area. 15 soil samples were collected from different locations across the region and subjected to analysis using a high-purity germanium detector (HPGe). The study showed that the average levels of natural radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th, 238U and 40K were 34.5±0.98, 25.6±1.3, 32.2±3.7 and 278.5±15.7 Bq.kg−1, respectively. Also, to evaluate the radiological danger, the radium equivalent activity (Raeq) is calculated, absorbed gamma dose rate (D), annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE) and external hazard index (Hex), internal hazard index (Hin). The average values for these parameters were determined to be 92.5 Bq.kg−1, 43.0 nGy h−1, 52.7 µSv y−1 and 0.25Bq.kg−1, 0.34Bq.kg−1 respectively. The values of the gathered samples stay below the allowable limits. Consequently, the examined region does not present any radiation risk to the general population. Moreover, it has been discovered that there is no concentration of 137Cs radionuclide activity in the studied area.

Effects of conservative versus liberal oxygen treatment in mortality of UCI patients
Authors: Da Rocha Simões Carolina , Accoce Matías
Published: October 2024

Background: The oxygen is a drug that is commonly used in clinical practice and whose therapeutic use has been adjusted over time. However, this practice confronts us with one of the transcendental problems, which is the inconsistency of the optimal oxygen level established in the clinical practice guidelines. Currently the treatment is liberal and leads to abnormally high levels of oxygen causing damage locally and systemically. The consequence of this is increased mortality in patients who are treated with high levels of oxygen. In view of this, conservative therapy was proposed to avoid hyperoxemia and mitigate its adverse effects. The optimal level of oxygen for the treatment of patients admitted to the intensive care unit remains uncertain. Material and methods: A comprehensive electronic search of the relevant literature on conservative and liberal treatment in intensive care unit inpatients was performed through medical databases as well as reference search engines such as Pubmed, Cochrane, trip, epistemonikos, Australian New Zealand clinical trial registry and clinicaltrial.gov. For this, the following keywords and MESH terms were used: “conservative oxygen therapy”, “conservative oxygen therapy and mortality”, “conservative oxygen therapy and critical care”, “conservative oxygen therapy and critically ill”. Randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses were identified without considering publication status, reported results, date or year of publication, and language. Results: Were included 21 systematic review and meta-analysis papers that compared liberal with conservative treatment and were within the inclusion criteria and 13 randomized clinical trials. Conclusion: Currently, the available evidence on targeted oxygen therapy in intensive care patients remains inconclusive. More randomized clinical trials are needed to determine the ideal oxygen target for intensive care patients and its impact on mortality
Landecastro (Torre de Peñafiel) y cerro de Pajares (Padilla de Duero), dos asentamientos menores de la Pintia vaccea
Authors: Sanz Mínguez Carlos
Published: October 2024

Se ofrece una revisión del asentamiento de Landecastro, en Torre de Peñafiel (Valladolid), a la luz de nuevos hallazgos de carácter cultual y de la interpretación del asentamiento habida cuenta las características de distribución y densidad de materiales en superficie. Asimismo, se establecen las relaciones con el asentamiento del cerro de Pajares, del que se ofrecen nuevos testimonios materiales e interpretaciones, con el que comparte una comunicación directa por distancia e intervisibilidad. Finalmente, se analiza la territorialidad de la ciudad de Pintia en relación a su potencialidad de terrazgo, para concluir que asentamientos como Pajares y Landecastro son parte de dicho oppidum y exponentes de la expansión en baja época, siglos II-I a. C., de la campiña vaccea a los valles del Duratón y del Botijas. A la presencia de algunas viviendas campesinas que evitaran desplazamientos cotidianos a las tierras de cultivo, cabe plantear también la probable existencia en esos lugares, junto con otros como el alto de Las Pinzas, de santuarios con una funcionalidad complementaria de agregación cultural, social y territorial.

Este artigo analisa as novas regras de rotulagem nutricional no Brasil, estabelecidas pela Resolução RDC nº 429/2020 e Instrução Normativa nº 75, e suas implicações para a proteção dos direitos do consumidor. A rotulagem frontal, com o uso da lupa para indicar altos teores de nutrientes críticos como açúcar, sódio e gorduras saturadas, é uma inovação importante que visa facilitar escolhas alimentares mais conscientes. No entanto, a implementação dessas regras impõe desafios para a indústria alimentícia, especialmente para pequenas empresas que enfrentam dificuldades para adequação. Além disso, apesar de representar um avanço na defesa do consumidor, a legislação brasileira apresenta critérios menos rígidos em comparação com normas internacionais, o que pode limitar seu impacto na saúde pública. O artigo conclui que, embora as novas regras contribuam para a transparência e proteção do consumidor, ajustes ainda são necessários para maximizar sua eficácia.

Authors: Samuel Humphrey Sam , Okino Isah Adeiza , Okibe Gideon , Etim Emmanuel Edet
Published: October 2024

There are serious health and environmental hazards associated with the growing amount of organic dyes in wastewater from sectors like food processing, leather, and textiles. These pollutants are frequently ineffectively removed by traditional wastewater treatment techniques. Adsorbents made from bio-waste have become a viable substitute because of their high removal efficiency, affordability, and sustainability. The adsorption of organic dyes is facilitated by the distinct surface chemistries of these adsorbents, which are made from a variety of biomass sources. Through synthesis and modification approaches, recent research has concentrated on enhancing these materials' adsorption capacity, selectivity, and overall performance. Adsorbents made from bio-waste have potential uses in pollutant degradation, nutrient recovery, and value addition in addition to dye removal. But issues like leaching and long-term stability need to be carefully thought out.  This review highlights the recent advancements in the application of bio-waste-derived adsorbents for organic dye removal from wastewater, emphasizing their potential contributions to sustainable wastewater treatment and resource recovery.
Community-Based Learning: Face-to-Face Tandem Language Exchanges as a Complementary Course Component for Acquisition of Spanish
Authors:   , Healey Andrew
Published: October 2024

Conceptual, in-class communication activities are the most common oral practice foreign language educators provide for L2 learners with the absence of native speakers. In most L2 classrooms in the U.S., Spanish-speaking practice transpires among learners who share the same native language and culture. For this reason, ACTFL encourages language educators to connect with local communities and those abroad to create intercultural interactions that can provide crucial avenues for achieving proficiency benchmarks and shaping globally minded citizens. To provide intercultural language-learning experiences for 16 undergraduate learners enrolled in my Spanish III course, I created a collaboration with a local ESL organization that connected us with five adult learners of English from various Spanish-speaking countries for seven face-to-face tandem language exchanges. This study utilizes a mixed-methods approach to investigate speaking performance as well as perceptions of linguistic growth, cultural knowledge, and confidence to speak Spanish. Results suggest that most participants increased in speaking competency, learned new cultural information, and further developed confidence to speak Spanish. Intercultural interactions following the three guiding principles of tandem placed learners from both educational institutions in active learning positions and capitalized on the linguistic background and culture of each group for mutual benefit of enhanced communication and understanding of one another.
Religion on the brain: A look into the neurological impact of religion and spirituality
Authors: Yan Amelie
Published: October 2024

Beliefs are the inherent, underlying nature of our identity, motives, and actions. One of the most significant and developed forms of belief is religion. This paper outlines the development of beliefs and provides evidence on how religion and spirituality impact the brain. Through neurotheological studies like the one done with Carmelite nuns in 2006, researchers can uncover what the brain looks like during religious/spiritual experiences. Results show that religious experiences increase activation in various regions such as the IPL, MPFC, ACC, and more. Studies have also shown that many of the results related to religion on the brain align with studies done to decipher the difference between a mentally healthy patient and a mentally unhealthy patient. One such example is that there is a similar increase in the PDR and the EEG when comparing results from a neurotheological study and brain imaging depicting positive and negative mental health. This relationship is proved through statistics revealing how religion has been known to significantly decrease the rate of depression in an individual and decrease the rate of suicide in a community. The findings suggest that integrating religious and spiritual dimensions into mental health treatment can enhance therapeutic outcomes. Ultimately, this exploration affirms beliefs’ profound role in shaping our identities and promoting psychological resilience.
From incipience to status quo: Development from theatre to streaming
Authors: Xie Dan
Published: October 2024

This paper highlights the profound impact of streaming platforms on the profitability and distribution of mainstream films. Through digital innovations that have since transformed the entertainment industry, consumers have turned to video streaming services such as YouTube and Netflix, advancing accessible and affordable content instead of traditional theatrical releases. This transition, fueled by changes in consumer behaviour and accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has reshaped the film industry’s financial and cultural basis, with streaming platforms offering a viable and often preferable alternative to cinemas. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study analyses historical box office trends and industry professionals’ opinions to investigate the rise of streaming and the oscillating state of theatres. While box office revenues remain volatile, especially for mid-budget and independent films, streaming continues to grow: hitting a projected global market value over $184.3 billion by 2027. Insights from this research are crucial for future filmmakers, industry professionals, business leaders, and entrepreneurs to navigate the rapidly changing landscape of film distribution.

As the reasoning, vision and data analysis capabilities of multimodal large language models continue to develop rapidly, with competing models outcompeting their predecessors on many benchmarks, the question of how these capabilities can be used arises. One potential use case lies in sports analytics: a rapidly developing field which continues to rely more heavily on advanced technical methods than in previous years. This paper explores how state-of-the-art large language models can be utilised in football player analysis by determining the reliability of information provided in three crucial areas in the sports analysis field: data collection, data analysis and data visualisation to help determine the feasibility of using such models to provide reliable player analysis at lower costs than current methods.
The impact of technological advancements on global warming
Authors: Joseph Roshan
Published: October 2024

Global warming, or climate change, refers to long term shifts in temperature and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, however, from 1870, which is the start of the technical or second industrial revolution, there has been abnormally large amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide getting trapped in the atmosphere, resulting in an enhanced greenhouse effect causing global temperatures to increase. This study seeks to assess and analyse the impact technology, its advancements and how it has impacted the global temperatures. By examining the correlation between technological development and CO2 emissions from machinery, this study will provide a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between the two.

Beyond Blame: Understanding Workplace Burnout
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: October 2024

Burnout presents a significant challenge for organizations seeking to promote employee well-being and performance. However, traditional views often attribute burnout to individual weaknesses rather than systemic causes embedded within workplace conditions and culture. This article provides a foundation for shifting perspectives on burnout's antecedents by reviewing recent empirical studies on its defining characteristics and underlying workplace factors. Drawing from Maslach and Leiter's areas of worklife model, the brief examines how sustained imbalances across domains like workload, control, reward and values can fuel burnout over time. Practical applications are proposed for consultants and leaders to adopt a proactive, systems-oriented approach through activities like engagement surveys, open communication, values alignment and iterative cultural improvements. The goal is to foster organizational environments and conditions aligned with innate human needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness shown to sustain motivation and resilience in the long term.

Objective: To characterize the preparation of macro-fiscal reports on the Budget, the Treasury and the State of Public Finances submitted by territorial comptrollers’ offices in Colombia. Methodology: With a simple random sampling study, a sample size of 34 comptrollers’ offices was determined. The Tool to characterize macro-fiscal reports in light of the Territorial Audit Guide (GAT) was designed and applied. Results: Budget and Treasury reports predominate, and in the case of the comptrollers’ offices that prepare both types of reports, the Public Finance reports contain the Budget and Treasury reports. With respect to departmental comptrollers’ offices, few manage to consolidate information from municipalities and decentralized entities. Conclusions: unifying the two types of macro-fiscal reports in order to improve the quality and comparability of the information generated by the territorial comptrollers’ offices. This would provide a complete view of the fiscal situation of territorial entities, facilitating fiscal control and informed decision making.

Published: October 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem that has been emerging and threatens much of the progress in modern medicine over the past centuries. Drawing on the One Health methodology, which recognizes the connections between human, animal, and environmental health, this paper considers how the AMR problem is understood from the different angles (“silos”) of the disciplines involved in the fight against AMR and how we can merge different perspectives to find solutions. It explores the main drivers of resistance and the related economic losses, highlighting some of the innovative approaches in the field, such as CRISPR/Cas9 and nanotechnology, and understanding the causes of resistance through an empirical hypothesis that suggests multidimensional ways to tackle the problem collaboratively. Therefore, this paper calls for the international community’s united action to protect health systems and economies at a global level through education and informed use of antimicrobials.

Global citizens are actors who are able to proactively and sensitively solve local and global issues. Global citizens are not born but created through education. Therefore, Global Citizenship Education (GCED) is a much discussed topic in recent educational discourses for its potential role in creating active and responsible citizens who hold specific knowledge, values, skills, and attitudes – such as solidarity, tolerance, empathy to solve local and global problems. This study aims to explore how the different subjects of secondary level (grade 6 to 10) have been conceptualised in the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2021 of Bangladesh to uphold the different knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes of GCED to create global citizens. We used qualitative content analysis to critically analyse the relevant part of NCF as a document. We juxtaposed and related the subject conceptualisations of the 10 subjects presented in the NCF with our GCED conceptual framework which is built on UNESCO (2015) provided GCED learning outcomes and Oxfam (2015) provided list of GCED knowledge, skills, values and attitudes. The findings show that the NCF has created a great deal of opportunities for the students to inculcate GCED knowledge, skills, attitude and values through all the ten subjects. The subject History and Social Science, because of its nature, incorporates the full set of GCED knowledge, skills, values and attitudes in their competency and subject-conceptualisation. After this subject, Digital Technology, Wellbeing, and English have incorporated GCED aspects the most. The rest of the subjects, Arts and Culture, Mathematics, Religion, Life and Livelihoods, and Bangla have also created some scopes for GCED. This study will help the researchers, policy- makers, and educators to bridge this policy document with detailed curriculum, textbooks, teacher professional development programs to evaluate the successfully translation and implementation of GCED in schools and training programmes that aim to create compatible citizens who can thrive in competitive and ever changing global contexts

Published: October 2024

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana cara mengembalikan keyakinan seseorang terhadap agama yang sebenarnya, dan mengapa seseorang menjadi bosan (banalitas) dalam mendapatkan sebuah informasi di media sosial.  Metode Penelitian menggunakan studi kepustakaan (library research) dengan menghimpun data dari tulisan-tulisan (literasi) yang mempunyai kaitan dengan topik yang dibahas, yaitu Subtansi Agama dan Banalitas Media. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa agama dan media dalam satu sisi punya kesamaan yaitu dalam hal mencari kebenaran. Agama mencari kebenaran. Media juga bergerak mencari kebenaran. Bedanya adalah, kalau agama mengklaim dirinya telah menemukan kebenaran, sementara media tidak mengatakan seperti itu. Agama dan media tidak lagi perlu dipertentangkan karena keduanya dalam kondisi saling membutuhkan. Subtansi agama sangat diperlukan eksitensinya oleh masyarakat karena agama berperan dan berfungsi untuk mengarahkan manusia kepada keyakinan, kebaikan, mengajarkan dan mendidik manusia kepada kelembutan hati, jiwa, raga dan fikiran. Sedangkan banalitas media merupakan kondisi ketika beragam pesan dan informasi yang disampaikan melalui media massa kehilangan ruhnya dan menjadi tidak bermakna.

Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa metode dakwah yang digunakan oleh penyuluh agama Islam dalam menyampaikan dakwah nya untuk meningkatkan kemampuan baca tulis Al-qur’an melalui whatsapp di majelis taklim Al-Ihsan adalah dengan dakwah bil lisan, yaitu menyampaikan dakwah beserta bimbingan baca tulis Al-qur’an secara langsung lewat lisan ataupun tulisan yang dikirim pada grup whatsapp yang beranggotakan seluruh jamaah majelis taklim Al-Ihsan melalui fitur voice note atau pesan teks whatsapp. Pemilihan media whatsapp dipertimbangkan dengan kecakapan penggunaan media ibu-ibu majelis taklim Al-Ihsan yang secara umum memiliki aplikasi tersebut, mereka menganggap penggunaan media whatsapp cenderung paling mudah dibandingkan dengan media yang lainnya. Fitur-fitur yang ada dalam media whatsapp juga bersifat fungsional mengingat program tersebut bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan baca tulis Al-qur’an, penyuluh agama memanfaatkan fitur voice note untuk mengirimkan bacaan Al-qur’an dan fitur gambar untuk mengirimkan hasil tulisan Al-qur’an para jamaah majelis taklim Al-Ihsan. Kemudian dalam prosesnya terdapat faktor pendukung yaitu adanya faktor internal dari dalam diri jamaah majelis taklim, adanya rasa ingin belajar yang tinggi juga semangat untuk tetap melakukan kegiatan pengajian walaupun secara daring melalui media whatsap meskipun pada saat ini pengajian secara tatap muka bisa dilaksanakan kembali. Sedangkan faktor penghambatnya adalah adanya faktor internal yang menyebabkan kesulitan dalam belajar baca tulis Al-Qur’an adalah rasa malas dan malu yang ada dalam diri jama’ah.
