Published: August 2024

This study aims to identify, analyse, and find the risks and legal protections for female workers at nightclubs in Badung, Bali, Indonesia. Through empirical legal research, based on the study's results, it can be found that there are many risks faced by female workers who work at nightclubs. The risks faced by female workers at nightclubs in Badung, Bali, can include health risks (physical and mental/psychological), safety risks, risks of victimisation (becoming victims of criminal acts), getting a negative prejudice from the community, being ostracised, and the risk of falling into prostitution and drug abuse. Legal protection for female workers in nightclubs has yet to be implemented optimally. Many rights and protections are owned by women who work in nightclubs, but nightclubs cannot reach them. There are still many violations of the law against female workers. Management does not provide rights for night workers in accordance with the provisions of the Manpower Act because these workers are not included in the Labor Union. The legal consequences for women workers at night entertainment sites need better legal protection, especially in the context of the labour force. Stigmatising women employees at night recreation sites as prostitution workers also weakens protection for them.Women workers do not fight for their rights because they do not have much understanding of their rights.

Authors: Martínez-Zavala Ricardo , Hernández-Aragón Laura G. , Avelino-Cruz José Everardo , Galindo-Ramírez Fabián
Published: August 2024

Las acciones de los receptores purinérgicos en las células dependen del subtipo de receptor, el tipo celular y de su condición (sana o tumoral). El objetivo de esta revisión es identificar y analizar las rutas metabólicas dependientes de la activación purinérgica asociadas a la progresión del cáncer. En diferentes tipos de cáncer, se ha observado que el ATP está incrementado en el microambiente tumoral y participa en el mantenimiento, proliferación, migración y supervivencia de las células tumorales, a través de los receptores purinérgicos P2. Además, el ATP puede ser degradado a adenosina, la cual, se ha relacionado con la supervivencia y proliferación mediante la activación de receptores P1 en células cancerígenas. Se ha propuesto que la reducción de las concentraciones extracelulas de ATP, adenosina y la activación de receptores purigérgicos sería de gran relevancia en la aplicación de diferentes tratamientos antitumorales. Palabras clave: ATP, adenosina, nucleotidasas, receptores purinérgicos, cáncer.

Abstract
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on Loigolactobacillus coryniformis DSM 34345 when used as a technological additive to improve ensiling of fresh plant material. The additive is intended for use with all fresh plant material for all animal species at a proposed minimum concentration of 1 × 108 colony forming units (CFU)/kg fresh plant material. The bacterial species L. coryniformis is considered by EFSA to be suitable for the qualified presumption of safety approach to safety assessment. The identity of the strain was established and no acquired antimicrobial resistance genes of concern were detected. Therefore, the FEEDAP Panel concluded that the use of the strain as a silage additive is considered safe for all the animal species, for consumers of products from animals fed the treated silage and for the environment. Regarding user safety, the additive containing Loigolactobacillus coryniformis DSM 34345 should be considered as a potential skin and respiratory sensitiser, and any exposure through skin and respiratory tract is considered a risk. One preparation was shown not to be irritant to skin or eyes. However, the Panel cannot assess the irritation potential of other possible preparations. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that Loigolactobacillus coryniformis DSM 34345 has the potential to improve the production of silages prepared from all fresh plant materials at a minimum concentration of 1 × 108 CFU/kg fresh material.

Abstract
The EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings was requested to evaluate 14 flavouring substances assigned to the Flavouring Group Evaluation 80 (FGE.80), using the Procedure as outlined in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. Thirteen substances have already been considered in FGE.80 and its revision and in FGE.96 [FL‐no: 10.005, 10.024, 10.025, 10.050, 10.061, 10.069, 10.070, 10.072, 10.169, 13.009, 13.012, 13.161 and 16.055]. The remaining flavouring substance 3a,4,5,7a‐tetrahydro‐3,6‐dimethylbenzofuran‐2(3H)‐one [FL‐no: 10.057] has been cleared with respect to genotoxicity in FGE.217Rev3 and it is considered in this revision 2 of FGE.80. The substance [FL‐no: 10.057] was evaluated through a stepwise approach that integrates information on the structure–activity relationships, intake from current uses, threshold of toxicological concern (TTC) and available data on metabolism and toxicity. The Panel concluded that [FL‐no: 10.057] does not give rise to safety concerns at its levels of dietary intake, when estimated on the basis of the ‘Maximised Survey‐derived Daily Intake’ (MSDI) approach. Besides the safety assessment of the flavouring substance, the specifications for the material of commerce have also been considered and the information provided was complete for [FL‐no: 10.057]. However, for the flavouring substance [FL‐no: 10.057] in the present revision and for eight substances evaluated in previous revisions, the ‘modified Theoretical Added Maximum Daily Intakes’ (mTAMDIs) values are above the TTC for their structural class (III). For four substances previously evaluated in FGE.80Rev1 and in FGE.96, use levels are still needed to calculate the mTAMDI estimates. Therefore, in total for 13 flavouring substances, data on uses and use levels should be provided to finalise their safety evaluations. For [FL‐no: 10.050, 10.069 and 13.161], information on the composition of stereoisomeric mixtures is needed.
Data Fixing by Data Fitting: Estimating the Unreported Cases During the Early COVID-19 Outbreak in Hubei, China
Authors: Sarkar Kamlesh , Wang Xiang-Sheng
Published: August 2024

On February 13, 2020, the Health Commission of Hubei Province changed the definition of confirmed cases, resulting in a reported daily case number that is significantly larger than on other dates. Such abnormal data points pose a challenge in data fitting and parameter estimation. To address this, we derive a simple formula from the classical Kermack-McKendrick model and introduce a new quantity to capture the number of unreported cases hidden in the data. We then use this new formula to fit the inconsistent data and estimate key epidemic parameters. Based on the reported cumulative case numbers until February 21, 2020, we estimate that the unreported case number in Hubei is 60856 (95% CI: [33513, 91206]), while the unreported case number in Wuhan is estimated as 29374 (95% CI: [18205, 40665]). The peak times in Hubei and Wuhan are February 6, 2020, and February 8, 2020, respectively. The basic reproduction numbers are 2.334 (95% CI: [2.053, 2.711]) for Hubei and 2.189 (95%CI: [1.992, 2.448]) for Wuhan.
Suppressing the side reactions of pregnenolone acetylation in transgenic yeast using competitive inhibition and optimal vector‒host system

Published: August 2024

The rational design of the vector‒host system and the conditions for its use is the key to its most effective use as a biocatalyst for obtaining valuable products or for testing potential bioregulators. In this work, we will consider examples of such solutions for some yeasts from the literature over the past 5 years and our experience in optimizing the reactions of 17α-hydroxylation of pregnanes with recombinant strains of the yeast S. cerevisiae and Y. lipolytica. Thus, it was known that pregnenolone and its product pregnenolone and the products of its transformation by cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (P450c17) ‒ 17 hydroxypregnenolone, dehydroepiandrosterone ‒ undergo 3-O-acetylation by the Atf2p enzyme of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have found that adding isoamyl or amyl alcohol to the cultivation medium significantly reduced the formation of 3-O-acetylated products by both uninduced and induced cells of transgenic yeast S. cerevisiae GRF18 YEp5117α expressing P450c17 under the control of the GAL10 promoter. In this case, the Atf2p substrate competition model was applied. A more effective solution was to use a different host microorganism and an expression promoter. The analysis of the genome of the yeast Y. lipolytica using the BLAST program showed the absence of potential analogues of Atf2p, which was confirmed by the absence of pregnenolone acetylation products. Selecting the optimal host organism is an alternative to using a strain with a deleted gene.

Published: August 2024

The possibility of using Mg,Al-layered double hydroxide (LDH) for production of nanoparticles comprising molecules of pharmaceutically valuable 3′,5′-cyclic diadenosine monophosphate (cyclic di-AMP) was demonstrated. Experimental conditions were optimized to produce LDH complexes with cyclic di-AMP (average size of 300 nm), which loading capacity in regard to the target compound reached 60 mass %. The fact of cyclic di-AMP release from LDH complex in pH-dependent mode (proceeding slightly slower at pH 7.4 than at pH 4.5) was stated. The obtained results testify in favor of applying the studied nanocomplexes for delayed delivery of cyclic di-AMP to the target immune cells.
Personnel policy of the Republic of Belarus in agriculture: trends, problems, solutions
Authors: Pashkevich V. A.
Published: August 2024

Personnel policy provides a strategically oriented tool that allows to achieve main social and commercial goals through efficient personnel management. A comprehensive personnel policy promotes the formation of progressive labor and social relations in an organization, high-quality personnel, a favorable moral and psychological climate, which are important factors in stimulating highly productive work. Forming a rational structure of personnel and increasing the efficiency of their use is the main priority for development of agriculture, along with an increase in resource provision based on the growth of production potential. This predetermined the purpose of this paper – to study and systematize scientific approaches to defining the concept of “personnel policy”, research its structural elements and processes, identify trends, problems and propose solutions for its effective implementation. The results of the analysis of scientific literature and practical approaches to the formation and implementation of personnel policy are presented, its target guidelines for the levels “republican – industry – organizational” are defined, indicators of the quantitative and qualitative composition of personnel in agricultural organizations are analyzed, and assessment of indicators of labor productivity and labor activity is given. A problem in implementation of personnel policy at the level of agricultural organizations has been identified, expressed in the discrepancy between the actual and required number of workers in certain professions. For digitalization of the agricultural economy, a system of indicators for monitoring the staffing of this process is proposed. The conceptual diagram of correlation between personnel policy measures by levels in the agricultural sector is substantiated. Directions for improving personnel policy at the level of agricultural organizations through mentoring mechanisms and mastering competencies in the field of digital agriculture have been identified. The results of the study can be used to substantiate, develop and improve the concepts of personnel policy and program documents for problems of employment of rural labor resources in the context of modernization of the agro-industrial complex and development of rural areas based on the program-target method.

The study was made during 2017–2020 in Central Black Earth (as basis), some Russian regions and in Kazakhstan. The main indicators were “yield”, “sugar content”, “sugar yield”, which were determined by traditional methods. То improve sowing properties of male sterile (MS) component, seeds were treated with synthesized organic compounds: 6-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline and 2-benzylamino-4-methylpyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid. An increase of seed germinative energy, seed germination, seedling length, and mass of 100 seedlings in the experiment as compared to the cont rol (%) were calculated. A positive effect from seed treatment on their sowing qualities and a stimulation of growth indicators was revealed in all variants of using the dihydroquinoline and the pyrimidine-carboxylic acid. A high level of monogermity (98–100 %) was noted in obtained hybrids. Studied hybrids show a higher level of main indicators: “yield”, “sugar content”, “sugar yield” compared to the standard. The treatment of uncoated sugar beet seeds with the pyrimidine-carboxylic acid provides an increase in seed germination energy by 29–55 %, seed germination by 25–53 %, average seedling length by 43–70 %, weight of 100 seedlings by 61–80 % compared to the control. Studied substances can be accepted as growth stimulants for sugar beet in laboratory and in field. Using CMS allows to create heterotic hybrids with the complex of economically valuable properties quicker compared to the traditional selection. This research provides obtaining hybrids on a sterile basis and study their useful properties. The results presented in the paper can be applied in the production process of sugar beet hybrids.

Published: August 2024

The three-dimensional learning framework as a current science learning standard to facilitate the development of students' knowledge that is coherent and interconnected so that it can be used in various situations of daily life, is only possible if the assessment is oriented towards the science learning standards in question. The focus of this research is to develop a Three-Dimensional light wave test based on the Three-Dimensional Learning Framework. Development was carried out through quantitative research methods with construction design and validation, involving physics lecturers, physics teachers and high school students. Construction and validation were carried out using document analysis sheets, cognitive questionnaires, content validation sheets and student responses. Analysis was carried out through descriptive analysis, V-Aiken content validation, and Item Response Theory (IRT) using eIRT software. The construction and validation results show that the Three-Dimentional light wave test based on the Three-Dimentional Learning Framework has differentiating power in the good category, five items are very high, three items are high, eight items are medium and five items are low; the level of difficulty is in the medium category, two questions are very difficult, seven questions are difficult, eight questions are medium and four questions are easy; the pseudo guessing factor overall functions well; and reliable for measuring the level of ability of students with low to very high abilities. The Three-Dimensional test of light waves based on the Three-Dimentional Learning Framework can be used by educational practitioners as an assessment tool to explore students' coherent understanding of disciplinary core ideas (DCI), scientific practices (SP), and crosscutting concepts (CC) in wave material light.

Objetos votivos nos contextos ritualísticos da Grécia Arcaica e Clássica: limites interpretativos das estatuetas de terracota em santuários dedicados a Hera
Authors: Carderaro Lidiane
Published: August 2024

Entre as várias formas de inserção da imagem no contexto social grego arcaico e clássico, durante muito tempo se negligenciou a presença das estatuetas de terracota, encontradas principalmente em ambientes ritualísticos e funerários. Nas últimas décadas, porém, pôde-se perceber um crescente interesse dos estudos arqueológicos em tentar compreender o papel social desses objetos. Este artigo traz algumas reflexões sobre as interpretações iconográficas das estatuetas, especialmente aquelas encontradas em santuários dedicados à deusa Hera, considerando aquelas figuras que aparecem, de forma consistente, em diversos ambientes de culto ao longo do Mediterrâneo grego nesses períodos. Serão discutidas as implicações de se abordar figuras recorrentes em contextos distintos de modo a propor uma interpretação específica – para um contexto ritualístico ou mesmo para a própria figuração da estatueta.

El yo y el mundo de la apariencia transcendental en Kant
Authors: Sepúlveda Zambrano Pedro
Published: August 2024

El presente escrito presenta la tesis del yo y el mundo como partes de la apariencia ilusoria transcendental en Kant. En el capítulo de los paralogismos se exhibe la dimensión subjetiva de la apariencia bajo el modo de la subrepción del yo, mientras que el capítulo de las antinomias expone la determinación objetiva de la apariencia a partir de la dinámica de los conflictos eidéticos del mundo. Desde la perspectiva más amplia, ambas doctrinas ejercen la crítica de la apariencia del yo y el mundo en el pensamiento de Kant.
Vanguardias y tardovanguardias. Un acercamiento a los contextos de recepción universitaria del arte en Chile
Authors: Osorio Riveros Hugo
Published: August 2024

La asimilación de las vanguardias y los principios rectores anclados en la modernidad de la reflexión artística disciplinar en Chile presuponen la instauración de un contexto de recepción que está lejos de proporcionar las condiciones necesarias para proveer una transferencia adecuada de los marcos definitorios de las mismas. Dicha apropiación careció de los códigos, dificultando la posibilidad eficaz de una transferencia tanto ideológica como estética. La instalación de una academia con matriz universitaria contribuyó a generar nuevas dinámicas en la actividad artística y cultural. Pero, al mismo tiempo, inmovilizó el desarrollo autónomo de prácticas constriñendo su accionar a un modelo europeizante, reprimiendo su inscripcionalidad local. Pero es en aquellas anomalías, propias de toda recepción diferida, donde se trama un nuevo discurso para las artes que permitiría asumir la carga gestual diseminante e irreductible del proyecto vanguardista en la escena nacional. Desde un acercamiento de corte histórico-hermenéutico se realizará una reflexión situada a los contextos de recepción y transferencias propias de los principios vectores de la modernidad vanguardista en Chile.

ENHANCING STABILITY AND REGULATION OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE IN BOOST CONVERTERS WITH LEARNING SLIDING MODE CONTROL
Authors: Hadi Abdal-Razak Shehab , Abaas Sajad , Al-Modaffer Ameen M. , Mawat Riyadh Hassan
Published: August 2024

Although DC to DC convertors might be considered as the most widely used circuits in power electronic, where a specific DC output voltage must be stabilized to a specific desired level, yet theses circuits unfortunately exhibit a nonlinear behavior. The nonlinearity in these circuits is primarily caused by the power switch, varying input voltages and loads, resulting in a converter instability, large overshoot, oscillations, and extended settling times. To mitigate these problems, a learning sliding mode control (LSMC) was introduced and compared with the proportional integral derivative sliding mode control (PIDSMC) fuzzy logic controller (FLC) as well. The study demonstrated that the LSMC provides a smooth output voltage, without chattering, compared with PIDSMC and FLC. Moreover, formulating LSMC might be considered a novel controlling method for DC to DC convertors as the LSMC represents an advancement in the control strategies for stabilizing output voltages in power electronic circuits. By comparing LSMC with classical PIDSMC and FLC, the paper provides a novel analysis of the effectiveness of different control approaches in addressing nonlinearity and instability in DC to DC converters.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Emergence of multidrug resistant strains constitutes a serious threat to global tuberculosis control efforts, with evidence emerging about the possible contribution of humoral immunity and antioxidant status in the control of this disease. This study evaluated correlation of antioxidant status, interferon gamma and immunoglobulin in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Method: Twenty-three multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients, 28 drug-susceptible patients and 28 healthy participants were enrolled for study. Serum malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant status (TAS), interferon-gamma, and serum immunoglobulins (IgA, IgM, and IgG) were analysed using standard methods. Descriptive statistics, Student t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation and chi-square tests carried out and significance set at p ˂ 0.05. Results: Tuberculosis occurred more in the young, with male preponderance. Between group correlations was significant for TAS and IgA, as well as IgA and MDA while, IgA was significant in male. Significant difference found in levels of IgA and MDA but not IFN-ϒ, IgG, IgM and TAS. Between group differences were significant between drug sensitive and control, MDR and control, MDR and drug sensitive. Conclusion: Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is associated with increased oxidative stress. A possible synergy also exists between acquired humoral immunity (IgA and IgG) and cellular immunity (IFN-ϒ) in tuberculosis control.

The presence of antibiotic-resistance genes in well water is a threat to community inhabitants. Thus, our study tends to identify the prevalence of Salmonella Typhi from well water harboring CTX-M and tetA resistance genes. A total of ten well water samples were collected from different wells at Onueke metropolis and cultured for the presence of Salmonella Typhi. Antimicrobial resistance studies of Salmonella Typhi were determined using the Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion method. PCR was employed to screen the distribution of the resistance genes (blaCTX-M and tetA) among the recovered Salmonella serovar Typhi. A total of 112 isolates of Salmonella Typhi were isolated from different well water comprising WW1 (n=6), WW2 (n=10), WW3 (n=15), WW4 (n=7), WW5 (n=21), WW6 (n=5), WW7 (14), WW8 (n=11), WW9 (n=15), and WW10 (n=8). Salmonella Typhi demonstrated high resistance to tetracycline 100 %, Aztreonam 100%, cephalosporin 79.5-100 %, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid 82.1 %, but were susceptible to imipenem 100%, Azithromycin 89.3 %, ciprofloxacin 91.1 % and gentamicin 84.8 %. PCR amplification of the resistance gene in Salmonella Typhi revealed the overall occurrence of blaCTX-M and tetA gene at 69.7% and 71.4 % respectively. Our study reports the presence of blaCTX-M and tetA genotype in Salmonella Typhi from well water and, may become responsible for intestinal infectious diseases in humans that are often considered as healthy carriers. There is a high tendency to transfer antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella strains to humans through the water source posing a public health threat that can result in higher morbidity and mortality, as well as increased cost of treatment. Improvement of water quality is of primary concern, well water depth inspection, and more stringent chlorine disinfection need to be taken into consideration to prevent resistant bacteria, and waste-water effluent should be properly treated before discharge to avoid percolation of ARG into groundwater. Also, there should be awareness/ management strategies for the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in water
Jigan Babaoja: Exploring humor and disability rhetoric in Nigeria's digital culture
Authors: Sunday ADEGBENRO
Published: August 2024

This study examines the rhetoric of disability in Nigerian popular culture, with a specific focus on Abimbola Ibrahim, popularly known as Jigan Babaoja. Grounded in the field of critical disability rhetoric studies (Dolmage; Mitchell and Snyder; Garland-Thomson), the research explores how disability is humorously yet problematically portrayed through musical clips by prominent Nigerian artists such as Ahmed Ololade (Asake) and the late Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad), alongside Instagram and Facebook reels. By analyzing these media forms, this paper highlights the underlying societal attitudes toward disability and the role of humor in perpetuating stereotypes. Utilizing qualitative content analysis and discourse analysis, the study reveals that the normalization of mocking disability in popular media reflects broader societal prejudices. This research contributes to the discourse on disability representation in African contexts (Adams; Mji et al.), advocating for more respectful and inclusive portrayals in media. The findings underscore the need for critical engagement with how humor is used in relation to disability, promoting a shift towards more positive and respectful representations in Nigerian popular culture. This research contributes to the discourse on disability representation, advocating for more respectful and inclusive portrayals in media.

Authors: Igor I. Kobza  , Julia І. Mota  , Vasyl V. Pelekh
Published: August 2024

Background: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has proven efficacy in reducing the long-term risk of disabling strokes. However, it can also lead to unexpected benefits, such as improvement of neurological symptoms or arterial hypertension. In this case report we present a patient with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) who reported sudden relief of rest pain after bilateral CEA. Case presentation: A 65-year-old Ukrainian male presented with 2 2-year history of intermittent claudication and rest pain in the left lower limb. On ultrasound asymptomatic critical stenosis of the left and right internal carotid arteries, and critical stenosis of the left iliac segment were revealed. After the first right-sided CEA on the first postoperative day, the patient suddenly reported relief of rest pain in the left lower limb. After the second left-sided CEA, the patient reported relief of a ``burning sensation`` and paresthesia of the left foot. The patient’s ankle-brachial index was the same before and after the operation. Conclusion: Despite the well-known purpose of CEA rarely it can lead to unexpected satisfactory outcomes and improvement of patient quality of life. Improvement of lower extremity rest pain after CEA is rare but yet possible, although the explanation of this phenomenon needs further investigation.

Authors: Ohaka, Chisalokwu
Published: August 2024

Rape and unprotected sex are major reproductive health issues that affect young people around the world, including secondary school students, and can increase the risk of health issues. There has been a significant surge in dangerous behaviour among students at schools all over the world. Sex education, which teaches factual information on skills, knowledge, and attitudes, is required in light of the health repercussions of rape and hazardous sexual uprising among adolescents. This quasi-experimental study involved 234 students from secondary schools in the Emohua Local Government Area. The intervention group received 8 weeks of sex education after collecting baseline data. After receiving sex education, the intervention groups' understanding of rape and sex grew by 37.6% and 30.8 percent, respectively. In terms of views, while sentiments about rape remained same, attitudes for sex improved by 4.3 percent. The median differences in knowledge of rape and sex were statistically significant in an analysis of covariance, with sex education having a medium influence (r =.428) and a minor effect (r =.258), respectively. Though statistically significant, attitudes toward sex were not influenced by sex education. Sex education enhanced awareness of rape and unprotected sex in the intervention arm compared to the control group, and while it had no effect on attitudes toward rape, it did increase attitudes toward unprotected sex among pupils who took part in the intervention.
