Authors: Francisco Junior Wilmo Ernesto
Published: July 2024

This practice insight describes a case study in which structured observation and questionnaires (for visitors and presenters) were combined to investigate a public science event during Brazilian National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) in 2019. A very large proportion of participants (68.6% of visitors and 25 of the 31 presenters) had been unaware of the NSTW. Among those visitors who showed initial engagement, more than half progressed towards more effective engagement behaviors. The relaxed atmosphere favored the public's participation. Activities in generic locations in less favored areas are relevant to reach out to a diverse audience. Further research is recommended for critical assessment of similar events.

Authors: Rafi Drajat Muhammad Rifqi , Rahmawati Tiara
Published: July 2024

The strength of the customary law adhered to by the Baduy traditional community comes from internal factors originating from the characteristics of the community itself, which believes in the values contained in its customary law. The implementation of the fulfillment of civil rights following the Constitutional Court decision NO.97/PUU-XIV/2016 has not been fully felt by the Baduy community, one of which is in the process of registering marriages, where until now marriage registration is still only recorded in marriage certificates issued from the village. In writing this article, research methods were used with primary and secondary data collection. The results of the research show that the State's efforts to fulfill the civil rights of believers in Indonesia have been implemented with the Constitutional Court Decision Number 97/2016 as a first step in eliminating discrimination in population registration, but its implementation requires different methods in each region and region, especially for the community. adherents of the Sundanese Wiwitan Baduy belief who strongly maintain the traditions and messages of their ancestors. As for Regional Regulation no. 8 of 2015 concerning Recognition, Protection and Empowerment of the Kasepuhan Customary Law Community, which is proof that the existence of the Baduy customary law community is actually recognized by the State.
SOCIAL MEDIA AS A MEANS OF INTERACTION FOR IDDAH AND IHDAD WOMEN PERSPECTIVE ON THE BOOK OF I’ANATUTTHOLIBIN
Authors: Jannah Roiha , Ainiyah Qurrotul
Published: July 2024

Islam prohibits women from leaving the house and dressing up during the iddah and ihdad periods, anticipating freedom of interaction which will lead to mafsadat. However, the reality in society is that social media is now used as a means of interaction that makes it easier for users not to leave the house. Addressing this issue, the author explores the thoughts of Sayyid Abu Bakar Utsman bin Muhammad Syatha’ ad-Dimyathi through his book I'anatutthilibin. This research uses qualitative methods (library research). With results 1. The law on using social media as a means of interaction is not permitted because it is equated with a prohibition on leaving the house. However, the law becomes permissible if there is something that is unlawful in its implementation. 2. In the context of this problem, Sayyid Abu Bakar Utsman bin Muhammad Syatha’ ad-Dimyathi opinion can be applied by looking at the flaws in being able to leave the house for the reason of prioritizing the benefit of human life.

Mitochondria are organelles responsible for converting energy into a usable form for cellular metabolic activities. These organelles have their own DNA. Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are frequent despite Its limited number of genes. Molecular genetics diagnostics enables the examination of DNA in manyfields,like infectiology, cancer, andgenetics of people. It is essential to identify abnormalities in mitochondrial DNA in patients since these mutations directly affect mitochondrial metabolism and may contribute to various illnesses. The mtDNA found in every human cell is a limited and significant source of harmful mutations and rearrangements. This review provides a concise overview of the unique principles of mitochondrial genetics, including maternal inheritance, mitotic segregation, heteroplasmy, and the threshold effect. It emphasizes the relatively common occurrence of medical conditions associated with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and discusses recent discoveries of pathogenic mutations, with a particular focus on mutations that impact protein-coding genes. Next, we go into more contentious topics, such as the functional or pathological significance of mtDNA haplotypes, the disease-causing potential of homoplasmic mutations, and the mostly unknown mechanisms behind mtDNA mutations.

Authors: Hadi Mohammed Lamyaa ,   Department of Human Anatomy, Section Histology and embryology, College of Medicine, Al-Nahrain University, Baghdad, Iraq.
Published: July 2024

In this work, the structural properties of Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgONPs) are synthesized by a simple chemical technique. X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) pattern showed the crystalline nature of MgO NPs. The average diameter of MgO NPs calculated by SEM and XRD was around 19 nm. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) spectrum and XRD pattern suggested that prepared MgO NPs were highly pure. The viability of cells in a medium containing MgO-AV composite scaffold was nearly equal to that of MgO, AV, and control, with no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). The Runx2-mediated modulation of gene expressions of the bone biomarkers ALP and OCN was investigated to determine the mechanism of scaffold-induced improvement in bone repair. ALP was immunodetected in the injured site of the right femur twenty-one days after the bone defects were created. The implantation of scaffolds into the bone defect region of the left femur, on the other hand, resulted in a noticeable increase in ALP levels. Similarly, OCN was immunodetected in the right femur's bone defect site. The implantation of scaffolds into the bone defect location of the left femur, on the other hand, resulted in a significant increase in OCN levels. The low-level diode laser therapy (LLLT) promotes the partially bony incorporation of the xeno bony implantation with the recipient femoral bone, and can successfully fill the space, and support the weight after removing the internal fixation methods, with no body rejection. The histopathological finding at the end of the 6th week post-operation in treatment groups the trabecular bone is mature and wide with little cavity. The control group showed immature and thin trabecular bone, with large cavities, and an area of connective tissues not organized. At the end of 12th weeks, post-operation the treatment groups revealed mature trabecular bone surrounding the bony device and lamellar bone formation with partial bony incorporation, the lacuna and haversian canals of the bony device filled with osteocyte and blood vessels, while in control groups the trabecula bone not mature, and many lucana and havesan canal still empty in the bony device

This paper investigates the estimation of the two unknown parameters and the reliability function of the weighted exponential distribution. It explores Bayesian and non-Bayesian (maximum likelihood) estimation methods when the information availableisin the form of fuzzy data. The Newton-Raphson algorithm is used to obtain the maximum likelihood estimates. In Bayes estimation, the symmetric squared error loss function is used. This loss function linksequalimportance to the losses due to overestimating and underestimating equal magnitude. Lindley approximation procedure in Bayesian estimation theory is used to evaluate the ratio of integrals. A comparative analysis using simulation is carried out to evaluate the performance of the obtained parameters estimators using mean squared error criteria and the performance of the obtained reliability estimators using integrated mean squared error criteria. The simulation results demonstrate that, for different sample sizes, the performance of Bayes estimates surpasses the maximum likelihood, and that all estimators perform consistently

Food Insecurity: Physician Perspectives, Screening and Communication
Authors: Heaberlin Sally , Skelly Kelly , Rosenbaum Marcy , Bunt Stephanie
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Primary care physicians may perceive food insecurity (FI) as a difficult topic to address in health care encounters, resulting in at-risk patients not being identified. This exploratory study examines physician perspectives on how decisions to screen patients for FI are made, effective FI communication strategies, and barriers to screening.
Methods: Primary care physicians in the statewide, practice-based Iowa Research Network (IRENE) completed a study survey in May 2022 that included structured and open-ended questions regarding their experiences screening for FI. Thematic and descriptive analysis identified common themes in providers’ experiences and perspectives.
Results: Although most physicians responding to the survey indicated that they have observed FI in their patient population, 27% have never observed FI in their practice. Physicians varied in their reasons for deciding to screen, with the most reported reason being “when it comes up in conversation.” Common screening barriers among respondents included limited appointment time and feeling inadequately prepared to connect patients with resources. Respondents noted that negative experiences with FI screening were rare and noted positive experiences, including gratitude from the patient, and building patient-physician trust. Respondents shared normalizing phrases that helped address the additional obstacle of feeling inadequately prepared to assess FI in a tactful manner.
Conclusions: This study explored physicians' experiences with asking patients about FI and provides insight into FI screening gaps, barriers, and opportunities. Better understanding of physician attitudes and practices may help guide and address barriers to more effective and consistent FI screening.

Published: July 2024

The production, selection, and storage of the seeds used for cultivation in Nepal are done in two ways: traditional and modern. Conventional ways of storing and reusing seeds depend on indigenous and traditional techniques, whereas modern techniques depend on the different agencies performing scientific agricultural breeding and storage techniques. The study aimed to determine the major varieties and sources of seed used for cultivation, to what extent the cultivated varieties are stored, and whether the stored seeds are cultivated. The study surveyed 171 households by systematic random sampling in the Jarebagaiccha and Milanatar villages of ward 6 in the Gajuri Rural Municipality, Nepal. The study was constructed utilising a literature review and in-depth interviews. The researcher used SPSS version 26 for analysing and illustrating the findings of the 11 cultivated crops, i.e., Rice, Maize, Millet, Wheat, Mustard, Potato, Beans, Black lentil, Cowpea, Soybean, and Rice beans. The findings determined that the majority of the farmers cultivated local varieties of crops by using informal sources of seed and stored the seeds in their own homes. The study further highlighted that only four local varieties (soybean, cowpea, potato, mustard) were acquired from agro-vets by a minority of the farmers. The hybrid varieties that were cultivated had formal sources, and none of the hybrid varieties were stored. The farmers stored nine local varieties using the traditional method of cultivation.
Revisiting the effect of financial crisis and banking reforms on the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission mechanism in Nigeria
Authors: Apanisile Olumuyiwa
Published: July 2024

Understanding the effect of the extent of financial intermediation on the
performance of monetary policy transmission channels is crucial to the
formulation of monetary policy. To this end, the paper tested the validity
of the above statement in the Nigerian context using quarterly data between
2005Q1 and 2019Q4. The data was analysed using a dynamic stochastic general
equilibrium approach. Results of the estimation showed that the financial
crisis experienced in the country led to the depression of the Nigerian
capital market and a decrease in the amount of credit provided by banks for
trading in the capital market, exchange rate risk tightening of liquidity,
and greater loan-loss provisioning. It was revealed that recent changes and
reforms in the industry have positive impacts on all the monetary policy
transmission channels (exchange rate, interest rate, expectation, and
credit) considered in the study. However, the credit channel appeared to be
the most active as it transmits the largest impact of shocks to the
financial sector (88.06 per cent on average) to the real economy. This
demonstrates that the private sector depended on the financial sector for
?nancing their expenditures, which later induced an increase in the level of
investment and increased output.

Published: July 2024

Aim: The study aims to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer patients’ perceptions of the quality of their oncological treatment and care.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted healthcare delivery and oncological resources were repurposed, potentially leading to prolonged treatment and reduced access to innovative therapies and clinical trials. Still, little is known about how patients perceived the quality of their treatment.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the spring of 2020 among cancer patients at the Department of Oncology, Aarhus University Hospital and Rigshospitalet, Denmark. Patients were invited to complete an online questionnaire on clinical, socioeconomic, emotional, behavioural, and quality-related aspects of oncological cancer care. Patients who experienced reduced treatment quality and those who reported no or slight reductions were compared using multiple logistic regression, exploring the associations with patient characteristics, behaviours, and fear of cancer progression or recurrence.
Results: A total of 2,040/5,372 patients experienced changes in their treatment plans during the pandemic, and 1,570/5,372 patients experienced reduced treatment quality, with 236 reporting a high degree of reduction. Patients with breast, head and neck, and upper gastrointestinal cancers were more likely to experience reduced treatment quality. Altered interactions with healthcare providers, along with isolation, lack of social support, and heightened fear of cancer progression, were significant risk factors for experiencing reduced cancer care quality.
Interpretation: We identified subgroups of cancer patients needing targeted communication and care during health crises affecting cancer treatment. The findings underscore the importance of safeguarding the needs of vulnerable patient populations in future healthcare emergencies.
The Burning Tower: Making a Heroine of Young Adult Fantasy
Authors:   , Wyatt Perry G.
Published: July 2024

Post-millennial Young Adult fantasy exploded in popularity at the turn of the century. As a result, iconic heroines such as Katniss Everdeen from Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games series (2008-2010) reshaped female leads in the genre. Despite initial heraldry for a demonstration of female power and advancement towards equality, under modern parameters of feminism, heroines such as Everdeen become questionably admirable. Under the guise of empowerment, these heroines must adhere to patriarchal expectations such as, beauty being imperative; heteronormative unions and childbearing being the ultimate goal; and the overshadowing of female strength by male counterparts. These familiar requirements are reminiscent of the “damsels in distress” of fairy tales from the likes of the Grimm Brothers and Basile. Due to the fantasy genre’s roots in these ancient tales, YA fantasy has yet to fully break away from the past and as a result, has impacted many beloved contemporary heroines. Close analysis of popular YA texts such as the Divergent series by Veronica Roth (2011-2014) and YA fairy tale re-imaginings such as Marissa Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles Saga (2012-2015), establishes the problematic tropes haunting the genre’s leading ladies. The concentration of this study should allow Young Adult authors to become better equipped in their production of “feminist” heroines and offer opportunities for further discussion of adolescent literature.

Calibration complex of radio measuring equipment
Authors: Vasylieva Olena , Pavlenko Yurii , Ogar Valeriy
Published: July 2024

Modern trends in the development of radio measuring equipment require improvement of the principles of metrological support of these devices and corresponding reference base. The new approach is based on the digitalisation of equipment, programming of measurement procedures, and the transition from single measurement standards to measurement complexes.
The paper describes the complex developed at the NSC “Institute of Metrology” and designed for verification and calibration of a wide range of radio measuring equipment, where all these approaches are realised, presents methodological, software and hardware features of its construction, as well as the advantages and possibilities of this approach in metrological practice. On the example of the method of “Bessel Function Zeros”, which was somewhat forgotten due to the cumbersome nature of its implementation by analogue methods and equipment, it is shown that with the new approach this method gets a “second birth”, moreover, at a higher metrological level.
It is shown that the use of direct digital synthesis oscillators can significantly improve the “electronic counting frequency meter” method, in particular, prevent the phenomenon of “frequency capture”, which limited the capabilities of the method and introduced additional measurement uncertainty. Moreover, the additional properties of the complex associated with the use of the R&S FSL spectrum analyser with the K7 analogue signal demodulator option are explained in more detail.
A list of other methods realised in the complex is given, among which the “combination frequencies” method, deserves a special attention, providing the highest resolution in measuring nonlinear distortions of both quasi-harmonic and modulated signals.
It is shown that the complex is a flexible apparatus, the work programme of which can be adjusted and supplemented.
Information on the structure of the complex, hardware solution of a number of nodes, programming language, etc. is given.

A (non) agenda setting study: News coverage of electric vehicles and their popularity in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Kenix Linda-Jean , Bolanos Jorge
Published: July 2024

This article explores the news media framing of electric vehicles (EVs) in New Zealand and theorises the role it may have played in the uptake of EVs in the country. The results were unexpected; the positive valence of EVs, battery life, carbon emissions, the environment, range, public or personal costs, positive public opinion, positive evaluative language, and battery reusage were not emphasised at all in coverage. Despite the lacklustre media coverage of EVs in New Zealand, the sales of EVs went up. This disconnect between previous research detailing the importance of positive media framing and subsequent behaviour has implications for further research examining media effects.

Authors: Evans Malcolm
Published: July 2024

October 7, directed by Richard Sanders, Al Jazeera Investigations (Documentary); Israeli-Hamas War: Israeli Ambassador on rising deaths in Gaza,TVNZ Q&A with Jack Tame (Current Affairs). FOR a more informed report of what actually took place when Hamas fighters broke through the perimeter fences surrounding Gaza to attack Israel on 7 October 2023, Al Jazeera’s hour-long documentary, October 7, which was broadcast on March 20, exposed the lies of the Israeli/US propaganda machine, and has been pivotal in transforming the Palestine/Israel narrative and so too the politics of the Middle East.

Vibration testing in the field of mechanical engineering has an important role in planning and maintaining machines to determine whether the design is safe and suitable for application. Newton's second law is a reference for back-and-forth movement around equilibrium both within the system and from outside the system which affects the machine itself, if the frequency of stimulation is equal to one of the system's natural frequencies, then resonance occurs, and dangerously large oscillations, resonance can cause damage to the system. The solution to avoid excessive resonance requires a damper. Forced vibration oscillations are applied by excitation using an unbalanced mass installed on a DC motor unit, the response is a mass deviation to obtain oscillations or time relationships with amplitude, the natural frequency of the system, mass-spring deviation, and characteristics of vibration. This activity aims to analyze the effect of the vibration amplitude of a forced vibration simulator under conditions without damping and using damping. The experimental test method was applied to a forced vibration system with one degree of freedom with an oil and air damper in a simple vibration apparatus simulator, 2 types of unbalanced masses, regulated by rotation up to 500rpm, tested under conditions without a damper, using an oil and air damper. The results of the activity showed that the air-dampening media can limit greater amplitude compared to the oil-dampening media.

THE EU AND ROMANIA. A PARTNERSHIP TO PROMOTE CULTURE & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: JOLDESCU-STAN Gianina , CUMPĂNAȘU Vasile
Published: July 2024

In the dynamic landscape of sustainable development, culture and cultural heritage are emerging concepts, taking more and more space in the academic literature. In the process of maintaining the balance between past, present and future, it is unrefutably important to understand the connection between cultural protection and promotion and actions towards sustainable development and environmental protection. This article aims to explore the complexities culture orientated actions, while having in consideration the sensitive issues of the permeability of cultural heritage over time. We discuss the relationship between cultural heritage and sustainable development, the actions that the EU takes to ensure cultural sustainability and the partnership between Romania and the EU could improve to maximize the impact on culture and sustainable development.
RUSSIA’S OTHER WAR: PATRIARCHAL CULTURE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. THE #ЯНЕБОЮСЬСКАЗАТЬ (#IAMNOTAFRAIDTOSPEAK) JULY 2016 CAMPAIGN ON VKONTAKTE
Authors: MIRON Ioana-Mădălina
Published: July 2024

This article is dedicated to a controversial topic for Russian society, namely the campaign #ЯнеБоюсьСказать (#IamNotAfraidToSpeak) that took place in VKontakte’s Russian speaking community in July 2016. First the article is based on a theoretical framework that draws attention to the concept of contentious politics and feminist movement. Second, I analysed the messages associated with #IamNotAfraidToSpeak, and argue that the campaign raised the visibility of the problem of domestic violence and patriarchal culture in the post-Soviet Russia, and this helped increase the significance of women’s linguistic agency and made #IamNotAfraidToSpeak the first large-scale feminist movement in Russia. Moreover, in addition to the theoretical background, the paper focuses on a case study: The #ЯНеБоюсьСказать (#IAmNotAfraidToSpeak) campaign of July 2016 on VKontakte.
Revisiting the Policy Field Through the Lens of Mexican Scholars
Authors: Moreno Jaimes Carlos
Published: July 2024

In this article, it is argued that public policy studies found fertile ground in Mexico upon their arrival in the early 1990s. They stimulated Mexican scholars to discuss two notions that had been taken for granted in Western countries, but that turned out to be novel concepts in Mexico: policy-oriented governance and governing the public interest. The policy field in Mexico made further progress by considering three features that characterize the country’s political and administrative background. First, the salience of the State as the most important policymaking actor, which, paradoxically, lacks the institutional capacities to become a more effective one. Second, informal rules inherited from Mexico’s authoritarian period still strongly influence the behavior of people and organized groups. Finally, social inequality influences Mexico’s policymaking by demobilizing social sectors that could act in favor of the poor, preventing governments from enforcing the law, or letting street-level bureaucracies apply selective enforcement criteria in discretionary ways.
La insoportable levedad de la justicia climática en el AR6 del IPCC
Authors: Le Clercq Ortega Juan Antonio
Published: July 2024

El Sexto Informe de Evaluación (AR6, por sus siglas en inglés) del Grupo Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre el Cambio Climático (IPCC, por sus siglas en inglés) redefine conceptos clave para comprender el riesgo climático, la adaptación, la transformación resiliente o la vulnerabilidad. Estos informes integran ahora también principios de justicia climática procesal y distributiva, y el reconocimiento del conocimiento local e indígena. El alcance de los principios de justicia climática se analiza desde una perspectiva normativa e institucional para identificar los desafíos que supone comprender la formulación de políticas climáticas desde una perspectiva de justicia. El argumento es que, cuando la justicia climática no define postulados con contenido específico ni describe mecanismos de implementación, entonces no tiene consecuencias institucionales, en políticas o para la evaluación. Algunas limitaciones significativas son la ausencia de principios de justicia más allá de su enunciación, la falta de una concepción retributiva y un alcance que no considera consecuencias de justicia global y limita su impacto a las obligaciones nacionales. Se discuten criterios generales para definir el contenido de principios comunes de justicia.
