Authors: Kim Na-In , Jung Bok-Mi
Published: February 2025

In this study, reduced-sugar beverages included ‘seven types of beverages (non-alcoholic beverages)’ and ‘alcoholic beverages’ with reduced sugar content compared to existing products: tea, coffee (liquid), fruit and vegetable beverages, carbonated beverages (excluding carbonated water), soymilk, fermented beverages, and other beverages. This study investigated the status of sugar-reduced beverage (SRB) consumption according to sex among adults in their 20s and 30s in Gwangju. In terms of sugar intake habits, men generally had a sweeter eating habit than women and were found to consume beverages more often than water. SRB intake was observed in 87.6% of participants. The primary reasons for using SRBs were health and weight control. Regarding the type of SRB used, both men and women used carbonated beverages for the highest percentage, followed by soymilk for women and coffee for men. The recognition path was the highest for confirming information about the product itself and was higher in women than in men. Experience of using SRB was high in women, whereas the frequency of intake was high in men. The reason for not knowing whether SRB was used was higher in men than in women because they did not care about sugar content. Although men had a higher experience rate in sugar reduction education than women, interest in sugar reduction, sugar reduction policy recognition rate, and sugar reduction efforts were all higher in women than in men. This study showed that women generally had better sugar intake habits than men and that interest, perception, and effort in sugar-reducing beverages were higher in women than in men. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that men can manage their health through sugar-related nutritional education.
Phomactinine: proposed Retrosynthesis and Forward Synthesis Routes
Authors: Wen Zixuan , Zhao Yuxi
Published: February 2025

Phomactinine, a newly discovered substance separated from marine fungal secretion, is the first discovered nitrogen-bearing phomactin.1 In this work, a total synthesis for phomactinine is proposed. Initiating from making an α, β-unsaturated Weinreb amide, the synthesis undergoes a [4+2] cycloaddition, followed by a carbon chain elongation. After a [2+2] addition under photochemical condition, a side chain is added, in which process an epoxide forms. Then, ways to close the nitrogen bearing ring are suggested. The route ends with forming a phosphorous ylide intermediate, which leads to the closure of the 11-carbon-ring by Wittig reaction. In this synthesis scheme, an innovative approach of differentiating carbonyl groups with similar reactivity by utilizing the different stability of carbon rings is suggested. This paper proposed the first total synthesis for phomactinine.

Authors: Chen Bozhou , Dong Xiaoqian , Pan Yutong
Published: February 2025

The two basic puzzles in Rubik’s cube can be summarized as recognizing solvable configurations and finding a common solution for valid configurations. Indeed, in the process of solving the first puzzle, we are required to come up with a common solution. The mathematical structure of moves in Rubik’s cube is also famous. This paper clarifies the difference between process and essence through an original concept: effect, and redefines the operation group G in a strict way. It also corrects a widespread mistake in pinpointing the mapping type between the operation group G and permutation groups, which appears in some former papers. The effect system grasps the essence of operations, introduces reference frames in physics through pure mathematics, and specifically facilitates the solution for the basic puzzles in Rubik’s cube and megaminx. The effect system has the potential to be utilized in physically symmetric structures with moves that permute mathematically analyzable configurations.

Japanese Views of Life and Death in the Film Love Letter (1995)
Authors: Liu Ruitong
Published: February 2025

The Japanese film Love Letter, directed by Shunji Iwai, becomes a film that is appropriate for studying Japanese people’s values because of its aesthetic value, elaborate plot, and profound theme. In the aesthetic style, the two images of snow and cherry blossoms that the director uses are in line with the aesthetics of mono no aware and embody the concept of “cherish the beauty of the moment”; the plot is based on the death of one protagonist, and the main line is based on the memories of the other two protagonists about him, reflecting the idea of “death is a part of life” which the director wanted to express through such arrangement; the concept of “face the impermanence of life with peace of mind” is illustrated by the combination of the theme “facing death, accepting death” and the Japanese view on impermanence. This article shows how the Japanese view of life and death is combined with the film Love Letter, providing readers with a new perspective on the film and a way to understand the Japanese view of life and death.
The Evolution and Future of NBA Game Style
Authors: Gong Ziqi , Li Yulong
Published: February 2025

Prior to the twenty-first century, offense in the paint was the key way for an offense; nevertheless, the game pace tends to grow annually, and three points have now become the dominating offensive tactic. In the current era, the three-point shot has arguably become the most critical element of offensive strategy. Players who can shoot accurately from beyond the arc are in high demand, and even traditional centers are increasingly expected to develop their outside shooting to remain relevant. The league’s trends vary each period. As the league enters the 2020s, new trends in playing styles and players are expected to emerge. In the future, the game speed will increase, and even more three-point shooters will appear in the game, providing the traditional center extra options. To support our theory, this paper will give data from the 1950s to the present: the three-point ratio each season, the two-point ratio per game for each season, and the number of personal fouls per game each season. However, we only considered data collected after the 1980-1981 season, as no data for three points were collected prior to that time. Basketball has undergone significant strategic evolution since its inception, with offensive tactics adapting to changes in player skillsets, coaching philosophies, and game rules.

Authors: Deck Jonathan W. , Cohen Athena , Raevis Joseph , You Jae Young
Published: February 2025

Vitamin A is a lipid-soluble vitamin essential for vision, playing a critical role in the function and health of the retina and cornea. While vitamin A deficiency is a common global health issue, it is relatively rare in the United States, typically occurring in the context of malnutrition or malabsorption syndromes. Xerophthalmia encompasses the spectrum of ocular manifestations associated with vitamin A deficiency, ranging from night blindness to keratomalacia. In this report, we describe a severe case of xerophthalmia manifesting as keratomalacia in a 42-year-old woman with short bowel syndrome. She presented with five weeks of progressive right eye pain, redness, and vision loss and further evaluation revealed undetectable vitamin A levels, attributed to malabsorption. This case highlights the critical importance of considering vitamin A deficiency in patients with corneal pathology and risk factors for malabsorption. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent irreversible vision loss.

Authors: Younis Sanam , Jami Dr. Humaira
Published: February 2025

The purpose of the study is to develop an original, valid, and reliable measure of Media exposure to terrorism (METT) that could adequately measure the effects of METT on adolescents’ mental health who have been exposed to the Army public School Peshawar (APSP) terrorist attack through media. Previously available measures on METT have some limitations. The scale was developed through a systematic process where in Phase I qualitative data acquired from Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) conducted with adolescents ( N = 45) -who came to know about the event through media- were subjected to content analysis for item generation. Phase II was the tryout and validation of the developed scale. The developed scale was validated through exploratory factor analysis (N = 380), confirmatory factor analysis (N = 332), convergent validity, contrasted groups, calculating Cronbach’s alpha reliability estimates and item-total correlation coefficient (N=716). Sample of the study was based on student population (12-17 years) selected from 7 different cities of Pakistan. The results revealed that developed measure is valid, parsimonious, and reliable enough to be used in quantitative study to reveal the effect of METT on adolescents’ mental health.

Authors: Wabi Abdullahi Yakubu , Aliyu Ahmed , Umar Buhari
Published: February 2025

Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) require dynamic spectrum access as a way to maximize the use of inadequate spectrum resources with minimal interference from licensed primary users. MAC protocols of a traditional nature frequently fail to respond effectively in real-time to changing channel availability, resulting in poor spectrum utilization and high rates of collisions. This work presents a new Deep Q-Network (DQN)-based MAC protocol that learns and adapts to the shifting spectrum environment, allowing secondary users to make insightful, instantaneous channel access choices. The development and assessment of the protocol occurred across different environments—urban, rural, and indoor—representing unique ranges of spectrum availability and interference issues. The simulations ran on MATLAB, utilizing actual user mobility, Rayleigh fading, interference, and noise conditions in the real world. Results show that the DQN-based MAC protocol markedly outperforms traditional random channel selection across major performance assessments, realizing up to 71% higher throughput, 58% less collisions, and improved equity within user interactions. The results show improvement in the spectrum efficiency and user performance in real time.

Optimization of cooperative environmental data acquisition by UAV swarm based on reinforcement learning algorithm and biomechanical inspiration
Authors: Xin Shouting , Yang Jun
Published: February 2025

Inspired by biomechanics, to enhance the collaborative efficiency of UAV swarms in complex—environment data collection, an innovative optimization scheme is proposed. This scheme draws parallels from the principles of biomechanics, such as the coordinated movement of biological organisms and their ability to adapt to various environmental stresses. Just as living organisms adjust their postures and movements in response to external forces to maintain balance and perform tasks efficiently, the proposed UAV swarm system aims to achieve better adaptability and efficiency through the key techniques of path planning, task allocation, and load balancing, which are inspired by the biomechanical mechanisms of coordination and adaptation. Load balancing in the UAV swarm is inspired by the way biological systems distribute mechanical stress. In the human body, different muscles and bones work together to evenly distribute the load during movement. Similarly, UAVs in the swarm need to balance the data—collection load to prevent over - stressing any single UAV. The results show that in the experiment where the number of nodes is increased from 50 to 200, the data acquisition coverage is improved from 93.4% to 98.1%, the task completion time is shortened from 112 to 73 s, and the energy consumption is controlled within the range of 180 to 430 Joules. The reinforcement learning algorithm demonstrated advantages over traditional methods in several performance metrics, including reducing the average transmission delay to 18.6 ms and efficiently distributing the task load, reducing the percentage of highly loaded nodes to 5.6%. These results validate the important role of the reinforcement—learning algorithm, which is inspired by biomechanics, in UAV—swarm cooperative environmental data collection. By mimicking the efficient and adaptable mechanisms in biological systems, the proposed optimization scheme for UAV swarms can better meet the challenges of complex - environment data collection.

Authors: Dr Jyothi.V  , Dr Bandapalle Dattu Narayanrao
Published: February 2025

According to Ayurveda, the three primary pillars of the body are Brahmacharya, Nidra, and Aahara. One of the thirteen urges that cannot be controlled is Anidra. Anidra, or lack of sleep, is classified under the Vatananatmaja Vikara in Ayurveda and is caused by an aggravation of the Vata Dosha. Transquillizers are prescribed by modern medicine to cure sleeplessness. These medications provide significant relief during the first few days of treatment, but prolonged and ongoing use leads to negative side effects. A 40-year-old woman arrived at the outpatient department complaining of having trouble falling and staying asleep for the past eight months. One of the 108 marmas listed in Tamil varmology, Urakkakala marma is situated on both sides of the inner side of the lower jaw. Stimulation of urakkakala marma was done and the patient's subjective parameters showed significant improvement. In Anidra (insomnia), marma therapy may be safe, efficient, easily accessible, reasonably priced, and free of adverse effects.

Authors: PRATIMA GUPTA  , VAIDEHI VINAY RAOLE
Published: February 2025

Agni, the fire element in the body, is responsible for the conversion of food into energy, essential for all vital functions. If Agni ceases to function, death occurs, making its maintenance critical for health. There are three types of Agni: jatharagni (digestive fire), bhootaagni (chemical fire), and dhatwagni (metabolic fire). Among these, jatharagni plays the most significant role in maintaining health, with four functional states: vishamagni (irregular), teekshnagni (intense), mandagni (low), and samaagni (normal). Samaagni, the balanced state, is crucial for maintaining health. This paper explores the relationship between Agni and lifestyle diseases, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balanced Agni for health.Material & Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 100 healthy individuals of the 18 to 30 years age group of either gender. Jatharagni was assessed by using a standardized questionnaire.Result: Association of Agni with the lifestyle was done by using principal component analysis and correlation method. A statistically significant correlation was established at the level of p < 0.01.Conclusion: Though the result showed significant association, large population-based works are needed for conclusional statements.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of digital governance in the use of the Digital Population Identity (IKD) application at the Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil) of Padang City. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that the implementation of the IKD application since early 2023 has improved the efficiency and effectiveness of population services. IKD facilitates community access to administrative documents through digitization, reducing the need for manual interaction with the Disdukcapil office. However, the application faces internal constraints such as network problems and external constraints such as limited access to technology and low public understanding. The level of community acceptance of IKD is influenced by age, education, and availability of digital devices. To overcome these challenges, Disdukcapil Padang City coordinates with the central government, conducts field socialization, and provides manual services as an alternative. The implementation of the IKD application supports digital governance principles, such as transparency, accountability and efficiency, in line with the vision of excellent service. This study concludes that despite challenges in its implementation, IKD is a significant innovation in improving the quality of digital-based public services in Padang City.
