Authors: Chen Xi , Gao Kuizhang , Zhu Yizhou
Published: January 2024

In this study, the o-band (1260nm-1360nm) fiber amplifier is designed and optimized based on the characteristics of bismuth-doped materials and the theoretical study of its spectrum. Taking the use of full-band fiber amplifiers as an example, considering that there is still some bandwidth unused in current fiber optic communications, this paper aims to design o-band fiber amplifiers with better gain and higher efficiency. By comparing the spectral properties of different materials, we chose bismuth-doped materials as the gain medium and three-level systems as the model. Based on this model, we established the rate equation and the power propagation equation in the steady state to analyze the effects of fiber length, doping concentration and pump power on the gain of the fiber amplifier. We used a genetic algorithm to optimize the fiber length and doping concentration. Then we designed a center wavelength of 1310nm and a gain factor greater than 26.1Db under the condition of pump light with a wavelength of 830nm and a power of 200mW.

Authors: Yang Bowei
Published: January 2024

Frisbee is a kind of sports equipment in an airfoil shape that can glide in the air for throw and catch. The Frisbee-like unmanned aerial vehicles have potential as the next generation aircraft. This paper is the first one to investigate the touchdown dynamics of the Frisbee to the best of the author’s knowledge. The numerical simulation of Frisbee is developed based on rigid body dynamics and aerodynamic database from existing experiments. The moment of inertia of Frisbee is determined using the three-wire pendulum method. The Frisbee is launched by a launcher and the motion is recorded by two cameras. A frame-by-frame analysis of recorded flight video using the software tracker provides the linear velocities, position, and other dynamic parameters before and after touchdown. A comparison between experimental measurement and numerical simulation results is done. The results demonstrate that the established model captures the influence of aerodynamic forces and self-spinning of Frisbee during flight and rebound. The future directions that this research might be extended and applied are discussed.

Authors: Alfaires Najat , Elkituni Aida
Published: January 2024

Breaking bad news (BBN) to patients is a highly sensitive challenge that, sooner or later, all physicians must face. It is one of the most difficult responsibilities in the practice of medicine. Physicians should learn good communication techniques to assist patients in overcoming negative news. Therefore, the study is presented to evaluate the awareness and skills of Libyan physicians in delivering bad news to their patients. A cross-sectional study was carried out at Tripoli University Hospital (TUH) from the first of April 2021 until the last of July 2022. In Libya, a structured questionnaire based on the 6-step SPIKES protocol for BBN was administered to 150 physicians working at the TUH to assess their awareness and training. About 46% of the physicians had good awareness of the components of the 6-step SPIKES protocol, while 53% implemented the protocol at the accepted level. There was statistical significance between awareness level, age, and gender. There was no significant relation among physicians with regards to their qualifications, physicians with PhD degrees, or registrar, and medical officers about awareness and practice scores. There is a weak positive correlation between the awareness group score and the training group score (r=0.20. p=0.015). Physicians' BBN awareness is at an accepted level, and their method of practice is accepted as well. BBN is a neglected topic in medical education and training, especially among physicians under the age of 31.

Major microRNAs and regulation of gut microbiota in patients with obesity: a systematic review
Authors: Merloto Renan Francisco , Soares Bruna Rocha
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Obesity represents a pandemic represented as a chronic, long-term imbalance between calorie intake and energy expenditure. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) stand out. They are a class of small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression, and changes in their expression and functions have been associated with many diseases, including metabolic disorders and obesity. Objective: It was to present the main considerations and results of clinical studies on the relationship between obesity, gut microbiota, and microRNAs in inflammatory and immunological processes through a systematic review. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The search was carried out from August to September 2023 in the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 121 articles were found, and 44 articles were evaluated in full and 30 were included and developed in the present systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 22 studies with a high risk of bias and 21 studies that did not meet GRADE and AMSTAR-2. Most studies showed homogeneity in their results, with X2=77.5%>50%. It was concluded that microRNAs regulate gene expression in adipose tissue, impact the regulation of metabolism and energy homeostasis, and regulate adipogenesis signaling pathways in white, beige, and brown adipose tissue. For example, microRNA (miR-143) promotes brown adipose tissue thermogenesis and inhibits white adipose tissue adipogenesis. Some miRNAs have been implicated in the control of body weight gain, glucose homeostasis, insulin resistance, and lipid metabolism, with crosstalk with the gut microbiota. Furthermore, an association was found between B. eggerthi abundance, miR-183-5p expression, and adiponectin levels. Expression of miR-15a-5p was found to be associated with H. parainfluenzae abundance and insulin levels.

Özgür İrade Problemi ve Determinizm: Determinist Bir Evrende Özgür İrade Mümkün müdür?
Authors: KAR Erman
Published: January 2024

Özgür irade ve determinizm tartışmaları felsefe tarihinin ilk çağlarına kadar götürülebilir. Ancak özgür iradenin mahiyetine ve imkanına dair tartışmalar modern bilimin doğuşu ile daha önemli bir meseleye dönüşmüştür. Newton fiziğinin, bilim ve felsefenin temel ilkelerine ve yüzyıllarca kabul görmüş Aristotelesçi düşünce sistemine getirdiği yeni yaklaşım söz konusu problemin önem kazanmasına neden olmuştur. Bu yeni yaklaşıma göre evren determinist bir yapıya sahiptir ve nedensellik ilkesi gereğince evrende gerçekleşen her olay birbirine bağlıdır. Evrende, açıklanabilir ve neden-sonuç ilişkisiyle birbirine bağlı olayların gerçekleştiği determinist öğreti kabul edildiğinde, insan eylemlerinin doğasının neliği ve onların bir belirleyicisi olup olmadığı önemli birer metafizik soru halini almıştır. Bu çalışma, özgür iradenin mahiyetini; determinist ve her haliyle belirlenmiş bir evrende olduğumuz kabulü sonucunda özgür iradenin mümkün olup olmadığı, determinizm ve özgür irade bağdaşabilir mi soru üzerinden incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda ilk olarak; özgür iradenin imkânı için evrenin indeterminist ilkelerden mi oluşması gerektiği meselesi, determinizm ve indeterminizm kavramlarının terminolojik arka planı ve türleri üzerinden ele alınacaktır. İkinci olarak özgür irade ve determinizmi birbiri ile uyumlu mudur sorusu bağdaşırcılık ve bağdaşmazcılık yaklaşımları üzerinden analiz edilecektir. Son olarak özgür irade ve determinizmin bağdaşmaz olduğu liberteryenizm kritiği üzerinden verilecektir.

The need to escape: Carceral entrapments and fugitive manoeuvres amidst London’s vicious housing circle
Authors: Adscheid Toni
Published: January 2024

The contemporary housing system in England entraps temporary tenants in ongoing movement between different types of insecure, unaffordable, overcrowded and poorly maintained accommodations. Engaging with carceral geography scholarship and Black fugitive thinking, I argue that a legalised system of cacerality entraps temporary tenants in recurrent movement, thus reproducing a ‘vicious housing circle’. However, I also stress how temporary tenants and housing campaigners maintain spaces of care that hold open possibilities to escape the entrapment in movement. Grounded in my ethnographic research with the Focus E15 housing campaign, in the East London borough of Newham, I highlight the struggle of the campaign as urgent call for urban geographic scholarship to foreground and challenge the carcerality of London’s ‘vicious housing circle’. Based on the struggle of the Focus E15 campaign I offer an extension to debates around the ‘right to stay put’, considering a fugitive politics articulated around the ‘need to escape’.
In Defense of ‘Landlord’: Why the term ‘landlord’ continues to be essential to rental housing
Authors: Kerrigan Danielle
Published: January 2024

In Ohio and California, legislators have proposed replacing the terms ‘landlord’ and ‘tenant’ in rental regulations. Landlords and landlord lobbyists argue that the feudal origins of the term don’t reflect the contemporary reality of renting. How seriously should tenant organizers, housing researchers and policymakers take these efforts to move on from ‘landlord’? While in their relative infancy, I argue that efforts to rebrand the term expand beyond name changes in organizations to media and legislation. They also seek to obfuscate and muddle what is increasingly one of the key social relations of survival, the landlord-tenant relationship, in order to preserve and expand landlord power and prevent or complicate increased regulation or oversight. To support this conclusion, this paper makes use of a key document analysis of a variety of published sources including proposed legislation, news articles and opinion pieces, and academic articles. Landlords’ (flawed) arguments for change, rest particularly on their claims that landlord-tenant relations are a transaction like any other in which landlords work to provide a simple service to consumers with free agency. I counter that, in fact, landlords and tenants are in an inherently antagonistic and unequal power relationship (Kerrigan & Wachsmuth, 2023), more akin to feudal relations than to the neutrality or even benevolence associated with alternative terms. As such, retaining ‘landlord’ remains essential; to discard it is to discard years of successful tenant organizing and campaigns that continue to highlight the exploitative relationship at the core of landlord-tenant relations to this day.

Published: January 2024

Narratives about the ‘failure’ of large-scale post-World War II housing are now guiding major physical, social, and economic changes in neighborhoods all over Europe. This is true even in Denmark and Sweden, which have long been known for their welfare states and benevolent housing policies. Today, however, both countries have enacted new national anti-segregation measures that call for major physical and social changes to neighborhoods built in the postwar era, even as the opinions of local communities and residents of such neighborhoods have been only sparsely heard – if at all. By working with the method ‘witness seminars’, we – as the research collective Aktion Arkiv – foreground residents’ perspectives and their collective resistance: the effects and affects of top-down changes. While sharing their lived experiences and actions, residents say that architects and planners can ‘simply say no’ and thereby refuse to participate in these actions.

Authors: Ana Rofika
Published: January 2024

Introduction: A decrease in breast milk production in the first days after giving birth can be caused by a lack of stimulation of the hormones oxytocin and prolactin which play a very important role in the smooth flow of breast milk, causing breast milk not to come out immediately after delivery and the baby having difficulty sucking on the mother's nipple. Currently, in midwifery services, complementary-based services have emerged, which often include breast massage to overcome irregularities in breast milk production. Breast massage is the act of gently massaging the breasts which can be done every day.

Method: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of breast massage using the "Z" technique on breast milk production in postpartum mothers. This type of research uses a Quasi-experimental method, the design used is Nonequivalent control group design. This study consisted of 2 (two) groups, namely a control group and a treatment group who were given breast massage using the "Z" technique. The research subjects were 30 postpartum mothers who breastfed their babies. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling.

Results: The results of the research were that of the 15 postpartum mothers in the treatment group after breast massage using the "Z" technique, the majority experienced smooth breast milk production, 11 people experienced smooth breast milk production, and 4 postpartum mothers experienced fairly smooth breast milk production. Meanwhile, the 15 postpartum mothers in the control group mostly experienced fairly smooth breast milk production for 9 people, 2 people had breast milk flow smoothly and 4 people had less than smooth breast milk production. It can be concluded based on the results of the hypothesis test showing that the p value < α is 0.000< 0.05 so that breast massage using the "Z" technique is effective on breast milk production in postpartum mothers with an average increase of 144.50 ml.

Recommendation: It is hoped that the results of this research will provide input for the health profession in an effort to increase the attainment of exclusive breastfeeding and to overcome the problem of breast milk production during the postpartum period.

 

Keywords: postpartum mothers, breast massage, "Z" technique, breast milk production.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
Children as one of the human resources and the next generation of the nation, should receive attention in the context of developing children. In connection with child development, legal facilities and infrastructure are needed that anticipate all problems that arise. There are many legal reasons why children are involved in murder cases followed by acts of mutilation. The biggest possibility is that it is easy for irresponsible parties to influence children to commit the crime of assisting premeditated murder. The purpose of this research is to understand the concept of legal responsibility for children who commit criminal acts, to find out the legal protection for children as perpetrators of criminal acts from the perspective of child protection law and to find out the application of the law to accomplices in the criminal act of selling human organs. The research carried out is normative legal research with a normative juridical approach taken from secondary data by processing data from primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials. Based on the results of the research and discussion, it explains the concept of legal responsibility for children who commit criminal acts, namely that they can be subject to criminal sanctions. Legal protection for children as perpetrators of criminal acts from the perspective of child protection law is by imposing a penalty of ½ (one-half) of the maximum criminal threat carried out by an adult. Children who commit crimes who assist premeditated murder cannot be sentenced to death or life imprisonment.

Investigating EFL Students’ and Instructors’ Perceptions of Dictionary Usage in Writing Assessment
Authors: Al-Harbi Hanan Habis
Published: January 2024

In this mixed-methods study we investigated the attitudes of 32 students and 34 teachers from a Saudi Arabian university toward dictionary use in writing assessments in EFL settings. We aimed to discern their views on the role of dictionaries in writing assessments and overall language proficiency. We asked both students and instructors to answer a 4-point Likert-style questionnaire to investigate their perceptions about using dictionaries in writing assessments. We interviewed participants later for further investigation. After analyzing the data both quantitatively and qualitatively, we found that students generally perceived dictionary use as being beneficial by enhancing vocabulary acquisition, improving writing performance and accuracy, and fostering positive attitudes toward writing without significantly affecting comprehension or focus on content. In contrast, teachers were skeptical, doubting dictionaries’ contribution to vocabulary development, writing quality, and accuracy. They also raised concerns about dictionaries’ not promoting positive writing attitudes or independent learning and potentially slowing down the writing process due to ineffective usage. Our study highlights a notable discrepancy between students’ positive perceptions and teachers’ reservations about dictionary use in language assessments. It suggests a need for further research to understand dictionaries’ impact on language learning and assessment outcomes, acknowledging the limitations of the study and the need for broader exploration in diverse educational contexts to resolve these differing views.

Improving Human-Agent Team Performance through Audio-Visualized Communication
Authors: Laraba Habib , Mavunga Prosper Julius , Baradza Jonathan
Published: January 2024

In this paper, we deal with human-agent teams involving software agents and human agents collaborating to resolve a common problem. We propose experimenting the impact of integrating audio-visual interactive skills on the team performance: vocal communication act is integrated in the autonomous agent so that it can explain its behavior to human using voice as a communication channel; visual communication act is modeled to allow humans to track software agents’ movement in the environment. We carry out a series of tests using the testbed BW4T (Block World for Teams) to highlight the evolution of agents’ communication with new interactive capabilities partly adapted from DEFACTO(Demonstrating Effective Flexible Agent Coordination of Teams through Omnipresence) experiment . We propose implementing that experiment in Jason platform well adapted to develop such very complex systems where BDI (Believe Desire Intention) agents need to interact in complex ways with humans and/or with each other. The result is a significant improvement in team performance assessed through the completion of the joint task due to a better understanding of the overall situation of the task workflow.
Geothermal Potential Assessment of the Bare-Bakem Region (Cameroon Volcanic Line): Contributions From Geophysical and Geothermometric Studies
Authors: Meguedong Guedia Ange Merveille , Bisso Dieudonne , Mbida Yem Lionel
Published: January 2024

In order to determine the geothermal potential of the municipality of Baré-Bakem, located in both the sedimentary basin of Moungo and the volcanic region of Nkongsamba (Cameroon Volcanic Line), geophysical measurements using electrical resistivity tomography were conducted along a 1km profile between two opposing thermal sources spaced 20 meters apart. The profile was acquired in the SW-NE direction using a 945m-long array with 64 electrodes spaced at 15 meters intervals. The ZZRes2Dinv44 software was employed to generate investigative images. The obtained results along the profile reveal the presence of two geothermal zones of interest trapped within permeable sedimentary formations at depths ranging from approximately 20 to 110 meters and close to the surface. From a geothermometric perspective, chemical geothermometers such as silica and Na-K-Ca were calculated by collecting water samples from these thermal sources and analyzing the physicochemical parameters at the Laboratory of Geochemical Analysis of Waters (LAGE/IRGM) in Nkolbisson. The calculations indicate that the Baré-Bakem locality exhibits temperatures ranging from 51 to 90°C for near-surface anomalies and temperatures ranging from 283 to 300°C for deeper anomalies. These geothermal resources possess high energy potential suitable for electricity production.

Authors: De Sousa Renata Priscila Benevides , Guimarães Jarsen Luis Castro , Carvalho Ednea do Nascimento
Published: January 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir o instituto da propriedade coletiva quilombola a partir de uma análise dos conceitos de propriedade e sua abrangência jurídica no que se refere a titulação quilombola na Amazônia.  Abordar-se-á no presente trabalho o reconhecimento dos direitos quilombolas, e por consequência, a obrigação do Estado em conferir a efetividade do direito ao território. O domínio conferido aos Quilombolas é caracterizado e construído pelo coletivo, diferente da propriedade civil ou imobiliária, sendo apresentado neste trabalho os pontos distintos e convergentes de cada categoria com foco nas especificidades do reconhecimento da propriedade quilombola e da titulação quilombola. A pesquisa é qualitativa, fundamentada em estudos bibliográficos com amparo no método, de análise crítica e histórico dialético. As nuances que envolvem a distinção entre propriedade civil e coletiva refletem o alcance de sua efetivação, portanto necessário o enfrentamento da análise conceitual e jurídica das diferentes concepções que envolvem o uso da terra e seus recursos por quilombolas em terras tituladas ou não.
