Developing Social Policy in a Multi-Cultural Setting: the Role of Applied Cross-Cultural Psychology
Authors: Gavriel Vassos
Published: April 2024

How should public policies respond to the dynamics of the multicultural setting? This chapter illustrates how cross-cultural psychology was used to provide tangible intellectual support to help develop and frame a policy response in the multicultural setting. Over the past twenty years, New Zealand has changed from a bicultural to multicultural society competing in the global economy. This chapter identifies policy issues and challenges the transition to a diverse, multicultural society has created, the type of response that was developed and its outcome. These are informed by the author’s personal reflections in developing and promoting Ethnic Perspectives in Policy, a government policy framework and resource guide for public servants. A survey of all departments after two years has indicated that Ethnic Perspectives in Policy affected positive institutional change and provided an impetus to develop more specific policies to address the intercultural setting. The potential for further applied research is discussed in the context of contemporary social policy issues related to settlement, social cohesion and national identity.
The Global Shortage of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists
Authors: Yi Dongwon
Published: April 2024

The global shortage of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, which are highly sought after as treatments for type 2 diabetes and obesity, is increasing. This deficit is attributed to the unexpected increase in demand for GLP-1 receptor agonists. This has caused significant harm to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are already using GLP-1 receptor agonists for blood sugar management, weight loss, or reduction of cardiovascular risk or those who are looking to start. To address this situation, doctors need to adjust medications considering the patient condition and clinical guidelines and must provide better education on lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise. Close cooperation between regulatory agencies and manufacturers is needed to mass-produce GLP-1 receptor agonists, as are societal efforts to prevent the trend of GLP-1 receptor agonist use as diet pills.
Chronic Kidney Disease and SGLT2 Inhibitors
Authors: Koh Eun Sil , Chung Sungjin
Published: April 2024

Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors were initially developed to enhance glycemic control in diabetic patients, but they have emerged as a promising treatment for individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) regardless of diabetic status. A collaborative meta-analysis of large-scale SGLT2 inhibitor trials has provided compelling evidence supporting recommendations for the use of these agents in CKD patients, regardless of their primary kidney disease diagnosis or whether they have diabetes. Notably, the kidney-protective benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors have been observed across various stages of CKD, including advanced stage 4 CKD, and across all levels of albuminuria. Given the robust evidence highlighting the benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors across a broad spectrum of CKD patients, these agents should be considered foundational therapy for CKD, in order to mitigate the progression to kidney failure and its associated complications. Although the beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibitors may not be immediately apparent, they are expected to grow over time, potentially altering the prognosis for numerous CKD patients.
Prevention of Diabetic Foot and Treatment of Pre-Ulcerative Signs
Authors: Son Ji-Won
Published: April 2024

Diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions and is expected to affect nearly 800 million people worldwide by 2045. Diabetes entails many complications; diabetic foot is among the most notorious complications. It requires complex long-term treatments and often has a high rate of relapse. Diabetic foot significantly threatens patient quality of life and imposes a considerable economic burden on both patients and healthcare systems. Therefore, prevention of diabetic foot is essential. It is important to identify patients at-risk of diabetic foot through regular check-ups and assessments. At-risk diabetic foot patients should be educated about foot self-care, appropriate footwear, and pre-ulcerative signs. Once pre-ulcerative lesions are found, swift intervention by trained professionals is necessary. Multidisciplinary collaboration in education of diabetic patients about diabetic foot is recommended and should consistently support patients in managing foot self-care.
Case Report: Profound Anemia in a 2-Year-Old Boy Associated with a Leech in the Oropharynx
Authors: Koleski Jerome , Kipngetich Kurgat Amos , Tindal Emilie , Haugen Jenna
Published: April 2024

A 2-year-old boy presented to Kapsowar Mission Hospital in Kenya with a history of general tiredness associated with mild, unilateral epistaxis and one episode of hematemesis. On admission, he had a hemoglobin value of 3.5 g/dL, with a white cell count of 20.6 × 109/L. The child was examined by the physician on call, with no source of bleeding found. Later that day, after a local physician noted that the presentation could be due to an unrecognized leech infestation, a deep examination of the oropharynx was performed with a laryngoscope and revealed a leech attached deep in the oropharynx. The anesthetist visualized the leech with a laryngoscope and removed it with Magill forceps. After the procedure and blood transfusion, the child’s hemoglobin level improved to 10.4 g/dL, and on the following day, the child was much improved in energy and was playing outside. He was discharged home on iron supplements and made a full recovery.
A Process for Utilizing Aerospace Propulsion Health Management Systems for Airworthiness Credit
Authors:   E-32 Aerospace Propulsion Systems Health Management
Published: April 2024

The process detailed within this document is generic and applies to the entire end-to-end health management capability, covering both on-board and on-ground elements, in both commercial and military applications throughout their lifecycle. This ARP addresses a gap in guidance related to usage of ground-based health management equipment for airworthiness credit, ensuring a level of integrity commensurate with the potential aircraft-level consequences of the relevant failure conditions. The practical application of this standardized process is detailed in the form of a checklist.

The on-board elements described here are typically the source of the data acquisition used for off-board analysis. The on-board aspects relating to airworthiness and/or safety of flight, e.g., pilot notification, are addressed by existing guidance and policy documents. If a proposed health management capability for airworthiness credit involves modification of the on-board systems, the substantiation of those changes should be based on the applicable type certification guidance. This document does not prescribe hardware or software assurance levels, nor does it answer the question “how much mitigation and evidence are enough?” The criticality level and mitigation methods will be determined between the applicant and the regulator.

There are cases where this process is applicable but may not be appropriate due to historical precedents. For example, there is a historical precedent for using an off-board health management solution to achieve compliance with Extended-Range Twin-Engine Operations Performance Standards (ETOPS) (refer to FAA AC 120-42A).

In order to provide some detailed guidance utilizing the process and checklist, some high-level examples of previous successful cases of maintenance credit applications for airworthiness credit are included. Refer to ARP5120 for additional examples of practical mitigating measures applicable to health management systems. At this point, it is incumbent on the applicant to explain any differences in terminology between the health management system they are seeking credit for and the appropriate regulatory references. For example, the system name often uses interchangeable terms such as “Engine Health Monitoring,” “Equipment Health Management,” “Prognostic Health Management,” “Powerplant Health Management,” etc.

Electrical effect of CdSe layer thickness deposited on p- Si wafer
Authors: Al Abbas Jangeez , Altaan Laith
Published: April 2024

In this paper, the current-voltage characteristics of n-CdSe/p-Si heterostructures are analyzed using experimental data and electrical junction characteristics. To develop n-CdSe/p-Si heterojunctions, a wide band gap semiconducting layer of n-type CdSe thin film has been grown on a p-type Si (100) substrate at 100oC with different thickness by using the spray pyrolysis technique. The I-V characteristic of n-CdSe\ p-Si heterostructure has been measured in a room in the dark and under illumination (lamp/160 W). Also, the solar cell IV characteristics and efficiency were measured. The characteristic parameters of the structure such as barrier height, ideality factor, and series resistance were determined from the current-voltage measurement.
Why phenomenological theory cannot be used to analyze the dynamics of dark photorefractive solitons
Authors: Wichtowski Marek
Published: April 2024

The currently used theory of both bright and dark spatial photorefractive (PR) solitons is a phenomenological theory. In the work we consider the dynamics of dark beams using a microscopic model based on the PR transport equations. It is generally believed that such a theory is more accurate. It has been found that these two approaches can give completely different predictions regarding the formation time of dark beams. The discrepancies can reach up to two orders of magnitude. An approximate analytical solution was presented and a new time constant was introduced taking into account crystals from three classes of PR materials: ferroelectrics, sillenites and semiconductors.

The impact of ambient temperature on the spectral characteristics of LED sources in the context of astronomical observations of the night sky
Authors: Tabaka Przemysław , Kołomański Sylwester
Published: April 2024

The Spectral Power Distribution (SPD) of artificial light sources is a crucial factor in determining the extent of night sky degradation due to light pollution. External temperature affects the properties of LED lamps, including their SPD. In this study, we investigated the impact of ambient temperatures ranging from -25°C to 25°C on the spectral characteristics of 14 LED sources used in outdoor lighting. The obtained SPDs were then used to calculate the Scotopic Sky Luminance Ratio index, enabling the assessment of changes in night sky degradation. Full Text: PDF References

Authors: Nguyen Quang-Khoi
Published: April 2024

We experimentally performed a method of active cooling for white LED that can reduce the temperature of the LED by using TEC for reducing the temperature of the LED board. The relation of LED board and input power for TEC was investigated to find out the optimized curve of LED board temperature and input power for TEC. Also, the TEC based cooling system was applied for RGBW LEDs. The obtained result is meaningful in LED thermal management, improving the lighting quality and increases the lifespan for both middle and high-power LED types. Full Text: PDF References

Assessment of some selected micronutrients among women of reproductive age within urban and rural settings in Kano State
Authors: Shehu Amina , Gadanya Aisha M. , Jibril Mustapha M. , Adamu Lawan H. , Abubakar Salisu M.
Published: April 2024

Women of reproductive age (WRA) are prone to unbalance micronutrient status due to changes associated with normal physiological conditions such as menstruation, pregnancy and lactation. This study was done to assess some selected micronutrients among women of reproductive age within urban and rural settings in Kano state, Nigeria. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 192 WRA (15-49 years) in 4 randomly selected LGAs in urban and rural settings each. Samples of blood and urine were collected to determine the levels of iron, iodine, vitamin A, folate and zinc using ELISA kit. Hemoglobin concentration was also determined using an automated analyzer. From the result obtained in the present study, serum retinol was found to be significantly different (p=0.008) whereas hemoglobin concentration (p=0.200), serum ferritin (p=0.226), urine iodine (p=0.141), serum folate (p=0.924) and serum zinc (p=0.410) had no significant difference between urban and rural participants. Iron deficiency anaemia (13.5%), iodine (29.2%) and zinc (33.3%) deficiencies have higher incidences in the urban areas whereas anaemia (26.0%), iron (46.9%), Vitamin A (34.4%) and folate (46.9%) deficiencies were higher in the rural areas. Our data suggest the need for public health sensitization and enlightenment such as dietary diversity, micronutrient fortification, and supplementation to lower the likelihood of widespread micronutrient deficiencies.
A logical limit law for $231$-avoiding permutations
Authors: Albert Michael , Bouvel Mathilde , Féray Valentin , Noy Marc
Published: April 2024

We prove that the class of 231-avoiding permutations satisfies a logical
limit law, i.e. that for any first-order sentence $\Psi$, in the language of
two total orders, the probability $p_{n,\Psi}$ that a uniform random
231-avoiding permutation of size $n$ satisfies $\Psi$ admits a limit as $n$ is
large. Moreover, we establish two further results about the behavior and value
of $p_{n,\Psi}$: (i) it is either bounded away from $0$, or decays
exponentially fast; (ii) the set of possible limits is dense in $[0,1]$. Our
tools come mainly from analytic combinatorics and singularity analysis.

A Review of Indigenous Maya Resistance in Colonial Yucatan
Authors: Adams Giselle
Published: April 2024

In this article, historian John F. Chuchiak IV explores the nature of colonial Mayan writing as an effective resistance against their Spanish colonizers. The Missionaries set up throughout the Yucatan peninsula aimed at not only converting the Maya to Christianity but also teaching them the use of the “formal” ways of writing in the Latin alphabet. To resist, elite Mayan nobility taught themselves to blend both the Latin alphabet and the use of their Mayan hieroglyphs into their documents, diaries, and other written scripts. The Mayan elite was able to create a system all their own, named “Maya formulary”, which used their system of graphic pluralism along with the alphabetic writing that was enforced and taught by the Franciscan friars.
The Nearly Impossible Conquest of the Guatemalan Lowlands
Authors: Ovando Cesar
Published: April 2024

During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, most of Mesoamerica was invaded and colonized by the Spanish conquistadors. We are to believe from their accounts that their triumph over several indigenous communities was inevitable. However, that wasn’t the case as various native groups resisted the Spanish presence during the conquest, which ultimately delayed their colonization. One group that gave the Spaniards trouble during the invasion was the Maya. Although there were several lineages throughout southern Mexico and Central America, it was the Maya in Central Petén that ultimately delayed Spanish colonization in Mesoamerica.

So, what happened during the conquest of Central Petén? What made this campaign different from others? Why were the Maya in Central Petén more challenging to conquer than other indigenous communities in Mesoamerica? All these questions are answered in this research paper, which documents Maya's advantages during the conquest. Using various sources, primary and secondary, I have shared the research and theoretical perspectives of archeologists, who have unearthed the Mayas' sociocultural continuities they used against the Spaniards, which promotes indigenous agency. In this paper, I ultimately argue that the Spanish were unprepared to handle the Guatemalan lowlands' landscape (which is where Central Petén is located). With a lack of knowledge of the lowlands' geography, the Maya countered the Spanish presence until the seventeenth century.

The Late Preclassic period in the Maya Lowlands experienced major changes that led to the transition of the Early Classic Maya. The anthropogenic changes and climate change that developed and progressed in the Late Preclassic era, led the people of this period to develop new technology, traditions, trade and migration to overcome their unexpected challenges.  The deforestation of the lowlands caused changes to the lands that affected their source of vegetation and water management. They were also experiencing lack of rain which was unusual for their environment. They had to develop new technology in order to collect water for their crops, animals, and themselves. Larger sites had a difficult time trying to keep up with the changes and taking care of their large sized population. This gave an advantage to the smaller sites and many overcame these struggles and later developed into larger sites in the Classic Period. The shift in site strength and growth led to new trade systems that continued into the Early Classic Period. The migration of the people also opened up new doors to trade, but also traditions. They brought their customs into their new homes and these customs changes and transitioned into new traditions in the Classic Period.
Holism in Development

This study sought to understand the purposes and effects of development projects carried out in marginalized places. To get a foundation on how these projects work, I researched the Thaba-Tseka project, which was active in the late 1970s through the early 1980s. The central ethnography I used for this research was The Anti-Politics Machine: “Development,” Depoliticization, and Bureaucratic Power in Lesotho by James Ferguson (1990). Additionally, I investigated how traditional ecological knowledge and a holistic approach can realign development values to be less ethnocentric. This study shows that while development projects tend to be bad for the groups that they intend to assist, there is potential for improvement through a reversal of approach. There is potential for development projects to bring about positive change in the world through the incorporation of holistic perspectives and traditional ecological knowledge.

Disability is a funny word. It is the opposite of normal, yet it is also derogatory but empowering. Confusing right? Well, this is all the more reason why it is hard to tell what a disability is. Every country has a different way of defining what a disability is. Below we will look at some of the ways in which other northern European countries define disability legally in order to try to improve our own.

The innovation of making bubble with the addition of beet puree can be one way to improve the quality of texture, taste and nutrition of bubble. To get a chewy bubble texture, it require a long boiling time to cook through inside. One way to reduce this weakness is to use beetroot as the raw material for bubble. Beetroot have a high starch content which causes increased elasticity in the dough. The starch contained in beets really helps the starch gelatinization process. The method used is an experimental method with three types of treatment, which bubble with the addition of 60%, 80% and 100% beet puree. The validity test conducted using organoleptic tests on five expert panelists with six aspects, that is color, chocolate aroma, beet aroma, sweetness, beet taste and texture. Based on the results of the analysis, bubble with the addition of 60% beet puree is superior in various aspects of assessment so it is concluded that bubble with the addition of 60% beet puree is the product with the best organoleptic quality. Physical test is done by measuring the weight and diameter of the bubble before and after boiling with 3 repetitions. The analysis results showed that the average bubble weight  is 457.3 mg, while the average bubble diameter is 8.74 mm. Consumer acceptence test was conducted using hedonic test (favorability test) on 30 panelists. The results of the favorability test showed that  bubble with the addition of 100% beet puree was most liked. Analysis result show that the addition of beet puree to bubble has no real effect or difference.

Sleep is vital for cell regeneration and repair in the human body. Adequate sleep, typically 7-8 hours per day, is crucial for adolescents, as its deficiency can impact various aspects of their lives including physical health, academic performance, school activities, and concentration. However, numerous factors, such as internet addiction, can disrupt sleep quality. Internet addiction, characterized by excessive and uncontrollable internet usage, is particularly prevalent among adolescents and has been linked to sleep disturbances. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between internet addiction and sleep quality among students at SMA N 9 Manado (Public Senior High School). Employing quantitative research methods and correlation analysis, data were collected from 110 active students at SMA N 9 Manado using quota sampling techniques. The Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were utilized as measurement scales. Statistical analyses including the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, one-way ANOVA test, and Pearson's Product-Moment correlation coefficient were performed. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.533, p < 0.05) between internet addiction and sleep quality among students at SMA N 9 Manado, indicating that higher levels of internet addiction were associated with poorer sleep quality. This underscores the need for interventions aimed at reducing internet addiction among students, with an emphasis on fostering self-awareness regarding internet usage behaviors. Such interventions hold promise for improving the sleep quality and overall well-being of adolescents.

On the development of the legal system is of course inseparable from the development of other fields, because the development of the legal system is part of the country's development. Legal development must be integrated and coordinated with the development agenda in other fields such as commercial law, which requires a continuous process. Currently, legal developments also need to pay attention to world developments. Here a clear strategy is needed so that legal developments can be harmonized with global developments without abandoning the values of the Indonesian nation. The purpose of this article is to examine the needs for the development of Indonesian commercial law and find a model of trade law reform that we want so that it can meet the needs and support the country's development. The approach taken in this paper is to standardize justice and collect secondary data sources through library research. Qualitative analysis of the collected data. Several provisions of the Criminal Code are outdated, and the related field of law is developing rapidly, which is no longer able to meet the current needs of trade law. Updating Indonesian trade law needs to be carried out immediately to meet developments, the needs of the national community and international demands. There are many modes to choose from for updating Indonesian trade law, including general codification mode, partial codification mode, statutory regulation preparation mode, open codification mode and partial regulation of Indonesian trade law. As trade law develops, it is believed that this will support Indonesia's vision of gold in the future.

Authors: Athina Bakopoulou
Published: April 2024

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and severity of temporomandibular disorders in patients with rheumatic diseases at the initial stage of diagnosis, prior to any medication and to compare their findings with those of healthy individuals.

Design: The study included 92 patients with rheumatic diseases and 94 healthy dental patients. Clinical examinations were performed and anamnestic and clinical dysfunction indices were recorded. Chi-square and t-tests were used to compare characteristics between the control and experimental groups (p < 0.05).

Results: The findings revealed a statistically significant difference between the two groups in both subjective and objective measures of temporomandibular disorders. In the rheumatic group, 63% of patients reported subjective symptoms, while 93.5% exhibited clinical dysfunction. There were no significant differences in clicking or deviation between the groups. However, movement limitation was significantly higher in the experimental group (71.8%). No significant difference was observed between rheumatic patients and healthy controls regarding muscular pain, temporomandibular joint pain or pain during movement.

Conclusion: In conclusion, severe clinical dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint is twice as common in rheumatic patients compared with healthy individuals. A significantly higher limitation of movement was observed in newly diagnosed rheumatic patients, who are not undergoing any therapeutic intervention.
Intramedullary Nailing with an Absorbable Antibiotic Carrier (INaac): A Simple Technique Using Standard Implants
Authors: McNally Martin
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Intramedullary nailing has revolutionized the treatment of long bone fractures and non-unions. However, there is rightly concern about the use of nails when there is established infection or when the risk of subsequent infection is high. Recently, this concern has been partly addressed by the introduction of intramedullary nails combined with an antibacterial coating. Various methods have been reported with some success but also with some drawbacks.

Methods: This paper reports a simple technique for coating an intramedullary nail with an absorbable antibiotic carrier. The carrier is injected directly into the reamed medullary canal, coating the nail during nail passage and delivering high levels of antibiotics at the nail-bone interface.

Results: This technique was found to be easy to apply. It allowed use of standard fracture implants without the need for downsizing of the nail diameter. There is no need for nail removal or exchange after initial treatment of the infection.

Conclusion: This simple technique combines the benefits of a bioabsorbable antibiotic carrier with standard fracture nails to prevent or treat long bone infections. It avoids the problems of PMMA coated nails or the need for specialist implants.

Games are a type of entertainment that is liked by everyone from the age of children, adults and the elderly. Besides being used to relieve fatigue in activities, a game can also function to train a person's mindset to find solutions to solve a problem that exists in a game. In the past, games were played traditionally such as card games, chess, snakes and ladders, hide and seek, and others. Along with the development of technology, the game was developed into more modern technology, such as computers (PCs) or smartphones. Playing cards or hoe is a game with big cards that play two or four people, a player lowers from the same group of pictures, the winner is considered finished if one of them spends his cards. Randomization in hoop games is very important, because randomization is what makes the game interesting to complete. This could be avoided if the Fisher Yates shuffle (named after its inventors Ronald Fisher and Frank Yates) was used to change the order of randomly assigned entries. The permutations generated by this algorithm appear with the same probability. This algorithm is declared biased because the permutations generated by this algorithm appear with the same probability. This is evidenced by the experiment of randomizing a set of cards that is repeated
