Authors: Jovičić Sanja , Ljubojević Vesna , Barudžija Maja , Amidžić Ljiljana , Škrbić Ranko , Nikolić Ivan
Published: January 2025

Background/Aim: The placenta is an extraembryonic organ necessary for foetal development. Due to its availability and high content of stem cells and growth factors, placenta tissue has found its application in regenerative medicine. The aim of this paper was to determine whether the age of the pregnant woman or the gestational age affects the morphology of the term placenta and whether placentas of advanced maternal age are suitable for application in regenerative medicine. Methods: In this research 30 placentas of healthy pregnant women, aged from 18 to 42 years and from 36 up to 41 weeks of gestational age were used for analyses. Tissue samples were stained with standard haematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining with anti-CD34 antibody. The parameters of volume density of chorionic villi, intervillous spaces and fibrinoids, as well as the thickness of the placental barrier were determined. Results: The volume densities of chorionic villi and fibrinoids were higher in placentas of advanced maternal age, as well as in placentas of gestational age from 38 to 41 weeks of gestation, while the volume of intervillous spaces was lower in these groups. With increased maternal and gestation age, the placental membrane thickens. Conclusion: When sampling placentas for regenerative medicine purposes, only the placentas from pregnant women younger than 35 years of age and whose gestational age are not exceeding 38 weeks should be selected.

Published: January 2025

Background/Aim: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with multisystemic involvement. Almost 50 % of patients who suffer from systemic lupus erythematosus have lupus nephritis (LN) as well. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or intravenous cyclophosphamide (CYC) are recommended as preferred therapy. The aim of this study was to see how MMF and CYC, when compared, are efficient in dealing with LN. Methods: Study included 53 SLE patients with biopsy-proven class III and class IV LN. Twenty-two patients (42 %) were treated with MMF (dosage 2-3 g/day) and 31 patients (58 %) were treated with CYC (0.5 to 1.0 g/m2 in monthly pulses) in a 24-week induction study. Outcome of interest was the improvement in serum creatinine, proteinuria and creatinine clearance. Primary end point included complete renal remission defined as serum creatinine within 25 % of baseline before flare and proteinuria < 0.5 g/24 h. Secondary end point included complete renal remission in follow-up period. Results: The results revealed that response between two groups was not notably different (X2 = 0.151, p = 0.697). Four out of 22 patients (18.2 %) in MMF group and 7 out of 31 patients (22.6 %) in CYC group had complete renal remission. Most patients from both groups showed improvement from the clinical point of view. Secondary end point was also similar between treatment groups. Conclusion: The study showed same efficiency between these treatment groups, MMF and CYC as induction for LN. No crucial differences were identified between MMF and CYC groups in terms of renal remission.

Network traffic control using traffic shaping techniques
Authors: Radojičić Valentina , Marković Goran , Mitrović Slobodan
Published: January 2025

Although known for years, the problem of meeting network traffic demand in multiservice environment is still recognized as one of the most significant challenges, regardless of the constant increase in network infrastructure capacity. One of the most important causes of this problem is the bursty nature of network traffic that could reflect on the network efficiency reduction due to temporal congestion of network resources. In this way, the operational characteristics of certain business systems as well as the quality of residential internet/iptv services could be compromised. One of the standard approaches to solving such a kind of problems is related to the concept of traffic management that includes 1) Traffic Policing techniques, as well as 2) Traffic Shaping techniques. Although these techniques share the same conceptual basis, these techniques also have significant differences, due to which they achieve different effects on network traffic. The importance of Traffic Shaping techniques arise with their potential to manage the traffic quality in modern network forms, such as Internet of Things (IoT) sensor networks. This paper explains the basic concept of traffic shaping, available algorithms on which traffic shaping techniques are based and provides a comparison with Traffic Policing techniques.
Application and Issues of Smartwatches in Health Monitoring for the Elderly in China
Authors:   Art·Design Research Institute of Kyung-Hee University, Ma Shu Yi , Lee Dong Min
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the application of smartwatches in health monitoring among 100 elderly users aged 60 and above in Shanghai, China. Through surveys and in-depth interviews, the research systematically analyzes the current use of smartwatches by older adults and identifies the challenges they face. The primary aim of this study is to explore key difficulties encountered by elderly users and provide actionable suggestions for improving smartwatch design and functionality.
The findings reveal that elderly users frequently utilize smartwatches to monitor key health indicators such as heart rate and blood pressure, reflecting high expectations for their role as health management tools. However, issues related to data inaccuracy and device instability significantly undermine user trust in the devices. Additionally, the complexity and non-intuitiveness of user interfaces create substantial barriers for elderly users, increasing their learning burden and restricting their use of certain functions. Regarding comfort, many participants reported discomfort during extended use, attributed to poor breathability, heavy weight, and inconvenient band designs. Furthermore, battery life and charging management deficiencies were highlighted as significant obstacles, often resulting in device unavailability when needed.
Based on these findings, the study suggests several areas for improvement. These include enhancing sensor accuracy, designing more user-friendly interfaces, offering lightweight and comfortable wearable options, and improving battery life and charging systems. Such advancements can enhance trust in and reliance on smartwatches, positioning them as more effective tools for elderly health management.
However, the study has limitations, as it focuses on a sample restricted to Shanghai and relies on self-reported data. Future research should expand the geographic scope and sample size while incorporating long-term usage data to comprehensively evaluate the role of smartwatches in elderly health management.
The Establishment Process and Characteristics of Modern Ceramic by the Japanese residents in Korea in the Second Half of the Japanese Colonial Period
Authors:   Art·Design Research Institute of Kyung-Hee University, Eom Seung Hui
Published: January 2025

This thesis is focused on analyzing the process of the transformation of a new ceramic craft industry in the second half of the Japanese colonial period, which established the foundation of the creative genre, and the process of the growth of a ceramic artist along the lines of that extension. Through this process, the conditions and activities for the expression of modernity in various fields of ceramic art were guaranteed, which ultimately meant the establishment of modern ceramics. Nevertheless, the process of establishing modern ceramics is evaluated as a political implication that has grown and maintained as a part of the cultural politics of the Japanese Government-General of Korea rather than being understood as a result of the implied history of active ceramics since the middle of Japanese colonial rule. The limitations of creative development and the absence of professional education due to its implications were the direct limitations of the ceramic art world at this time. In addition, the Japanese Colonial Settler who took the lead at the center of the establishment of modern ceramics were a so-called elite class group. And While emphasizing the banal locality of Joseon's ceramic culture, they actively introduced Japanese tastes, impeding the growth of modernization. In particular, the flow of modern ceramics, proven through the Joseon Art Exhibition(朝鮮美術展覽會), can be viewed as a representative example that clearly shows the direction of cultural rule at the time and the evils that have arisen from it.

Published: January 2025

La evaluación formativa de los aprendizajes necesita plantear estrategias metodológicas que favorezcan la motivación intrínseca del estudiante en la evaluación. La gamificación consigue una participación más activa de los estudiantes; sin embargo, existe una controversia sobre la pertinencia del uso competitivo, o no, de la gamificación en el aula; además, siguiendo el dilema conocido de que se enseña según te enseñaron, nada mejor que formar a los docentes en servicio con aquellas metodologías que deseamos introducir en clase. La investigación desarrollada tiene un diseño cuasiexperimental y analiza el impacto en los aprendizajes cuando se utilizan rúbricas digitales gamificadas con “insignias competitivas” (compite con el grupo) vs. “insignias no competitivas” (compite con uno mismo). La muestra está constituida por 70 docentes en formación permanente de una titulación de postgrado. Con la finalidad de confirmar el impacto de la gamificación, se comparan las tareas planteadas, el grupo de referencia, las insignias obtenidas con la rúbrica digital y la calificación final. Asimismo, se aplica un instrumento validado de satisfacción con la metodología recibida. Los resultados muestran una alta satisfacción y que la nota final está condicionada por el número de insignias, fundamentalmente por la calificación de una de las tareas.
Impacto del ciberostracismo sobre la ansiedad social y uso de Internet en estudiantes universitarios
Authors: López-Ráez Cristina , Falla Daniel , Romera Eva M.
Published: January 2025

El uso de las Tecnologías en la Relación, la Información y Comunicación (TRIC) ha cambiado la manera en que los estudiantes universitarios interactúan y se relacionan entre sí, dando lugar a experiencias tanto positivas como negativas, en las que han de enfrentarse a ciberconductas de riesgo. El ciberostracismo es una forma de exclusión social en el espacio virtual que conlleva sentimientos de ansiedad social y que puede darse en estudiantes universitarios, provocando consecuencias perniciosas. Sin embargo, aún no se ha explorado lo suficiente si este sentimiento puede relacionarse con un aumento del uso de Internet al percibir la exclusión online. Tomando este reto como foco, el objetivo de este trabajo es conocer la asociación entre el ciberostracismo y la ansiedad social, así como el posible efecto indirecto del uso de Internet. En el estudio participaron un total de 1605 estudiantes de diferentes universidades españolas, con edades comprendidas entre los 17 y 25 años (M = 19.59, DT = 1.75), siendo 66.3% mujeres, el 31.7% hombres y el 2% no indicó su género. Se utilizaron diferentes instrumentos: Cuestionario de Experiencias Relacionadas con Internet (CERI), Escala de Ansiedad Social para Adolescentes (SAS-A) y Escala de Experiencia de Ciberostracismo para Adolescentes. Los análisis estadísticos incluyeron la prueba t Student y el análisis de mediación con la macro PROCESS. Los resultados indicaron que los hombres mostraron mayores niveles de ciberostracismo, mientras que en ansiedad social puntuaron más alto las mujeres. El ciberostracismo se asoció con mayor ansiedad social entre estudiantes universitarios, mediado por el uso de Internet. Se discute cómo esta forma de ostracismo virtual continúa progresando y afectando a estudiantes de educación superior y cómo el uso de Internet puede aumentar el riesgo de ansiedad social en víctimas de ciberostracismo. Estos hallazgos tienen importantes implicaciones prácticas en futuros programas de prevención e intervención.
Adolescent students’ perceptions on parental supervision: Profiles and influences of student gender
Authors: Mulero-Henríquez Itahisa , Alonso-Sánchez José Alexis , Falcón Samuel
Published: January 2025

The relationship between adolescent students and their parents plays a crucial role in the former’s development, yet there is a paucity of research exploring adolescents’ perceptions of parental supervision, particularly in relation to gender influences. The aim of this study was to adapt and validate a scale examining students’ perceptions of parental supervision, differentiating between paternal and maternal supervision. In addition, we aimed to identify different profiles of paternal and maternal supervision and to explore how these profiles are influenced by the gender of the adolescents and the parents. A cohort of 869 adolescent students participated, providing data through the «Adolescent Perception Scale of Parental Supervision». The validity of the scale was analysed using exploratory structural equation modelling, and the reliability of the data was tested with McDonald’s Omega coefficient. After testing the validity and reliability of the scale, a latent profile analysis was conducted to categorise students into different supervision profiles based on their responses. Finally, the influence of students’ gender on the likelihood of belonging to each parental supervision profile was examined for both the paternal and maternal versions of the scale. The analysis revealed three profiles of paternal supervision and four of maternal supervision, each exhibiting unique characteristics in terms of intensity and style. Adolescents’ gender was found to significantly influence the likelihood of belonging to one or the other profile, both in paternal and maternal supervision. The findings underscore the need of adopting gender-specific approaches in parental supervision. This approach is crucial for supporting the developmental needs of adolescents. The study also opens avenues for further research and practical applications in educational and family contexts, emphasizing the importance of understanding the nuanced dynamics of parental supervision in relation to gender.

La difusión de la enseñanza intuitiva y las lecciones de cosas en España. Balance historiográfico y aspectos pendientes en la investigación
Authors: Ossenbach Gabriela , Valbuena Canet Cecilia , Santiesteban Andra , Badanelli Ana
Published: January 2025

La influencia más relevante de la pedagogía pestalozziana en la educación popular del siglo XIX fue la introducción de la enseñanza intuitiva, destacando las «lecciones de cosas» como un método fundamental basado en la intuición, que alcanzó bastante popularidad en la época. Este estudio examina cómo la historiografía española reciente ha tratado la difusión de este método, identificando vacíos en la investigación y relacionando entre sí estudios que han contribuido con distintas miradas al avance en este tema. Partiendo de los estudios iniciales que centraron sobre todo la atención en la figura de Pablo Montesino, se analizan los trabajos que han abordado la cuestión a través del análisis de los manuales de Pedagogía, así como en los debates que se produjeron en los Congresos de Pedagogía a lo largo del siglo XIX. Igualmente, se destacan las aportaciones hechas al tema desde el campo de la historia de las disciplinas escolares y del currículum, para centrarse finalmente en el estudio e interpretación de la amplia difusión de los textos escolares de lecciones de cosas, destinados para maestros y para alumnos, que proliferaron entre finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, apoyados por la expansión de la industria editorial española en la época. La pérdida de fuerza del debate sobre el método intuitivo a favor de un interés predominante por el conocimiento psicopedagógico del niño en el primer tercio del siglo XX queda enunciada como un importante asunto pendiente de investigación.

REGRESO DEL DERECHO CONSUETUDINARIO COMO FUENTE DEL DERECHO PENAL INTERNACIONAL:
Authors: Martínez Alcañiz Abraham
Published: January 2025

Las Salas Especiales de Kosovo han recuperado el Derecho consuetudinario como fuente del Derecho penal, apartándose del principio de legalidad estricto que impera en la Corte Penal Internacional. Esto ha supuesto que dichas Salas se conviertan en nuevos legisladores del Derecho penal internacional, reconociendo un nuevo crimen internacional hasta ahora desconocido, el crimen de guerra de detención arbitraria en un conflicto armado de carácter no internacional. La configuración de este nuevo delito por parte de las Salas se fundamenta en las normas de derechos humanos, dificultando su comprensión como crimen de guerra.

Este trabalho apresenta os resultados e a metodologia utilizada para calibrar a potencia térmica do Reator de Pesquisa TRIGA Mark I IPR-R1 do Centro de Desenvolvimento da Tecnologia Nuclear (CDTN) em Belo Horizonte, Brasil. Os Reatores TRIGA Mark I sao do tipo piscina refrigerados por conveciçao natural. O método utilizado na calibraiçao consiste no balaniço de energia, em estado estacionário, dissipada através do circuito primário de refrigeraiçao do reator. Para isso mediram-se a vazao e as temperaturas de entrada e saida do circuito de refrigeraiçao. As fugas de calor do poiço do reator sao estimadas e adicionadas ao calor dissipado no circuito primário da refrigeraiçao. As perdas térmicas do circuito de refrigeraiçao nao sao consideradas, pois as medidas da temperatura de entrada e saida deste circuito foram tomadas logo acima da superficie da água do poiço, de forma que no balaniço térmico considera-se o calor dissipado em todo o circuito primário e nao só no trocador de calor. A temperatura da água do poiço, assim como a temperatura da sala do reator, foram colocadas o mais próximo possivel da temperatura do leniçol freático, para minimizar as perdas de calor. Estas fugas sao devidas principalmente a conduiçao através das paredes de concreto e metal do tanque e também devido a evaporaiçao e conveciçao na superficie do poiço do reator.

Published: January 2025

Stand density and species diversity are two indicators that are highly related to forest productivity. However, the effect of those variables on the productivity of community forest is rarely documented. This study evaluates the influence of stand density and species diversity on timber production and carbon stock in the community forest. The study area was located in Madiun District. A field survey was conducted in four different community forest sites, i.e. Morang, Kuwiran, Randualas, and Kare. The sampling technique was by quadrat method using a sample plot size of 25 m x 25 m. The number of sample plots used in this study was 64 units, which were evenly distributed in every site. Comparison of stand attributes among sites was examined by Kruskal-Wallis test and followed by Kruskal-Nemenyi test on the effects of stand density and species diversity on timber production and carbon stock were assessed separately for each parameter using the generalized least square regression test. The process of statistical analysis was applied using a significance level of 5%. Results show a significant difference in stand volume, aboveground biomass, and carbon stock among sites (P<0.05). This study also recorded a meaningful effect of stand density and species diversity on timber production and carbon stock of community forest, wherein stand density provided a higher effect (R2 = 0.68; P<0.05) than species diversity (R2 = 0.26; P<0.05).

Published: January 2025

Sundarban, the world biggest mangrove forest, was announced as a World Heritage in 1997 and Ramsar Site in 2007. It's 62% lies in Bangladesh (Khulna, Bagerhat, Satkhira, Pirojpur, and Barguna Regions) and 38% in India, which become a vanguard for coastal communities. This ecosystem's floral and faunal structure incorporates 334 floral, 300 birds, 120 fish, 35 reptiles, and 32 mammals species. It contributes 41% of the total forest income of  Bangladesh. This paper is intended to recognize the significant reasons for biodiversity calamity and its related effects on lives and degradation of the environment. A total of  105 published articles and reports were identified by searching four keywords: degradation, biodiversity, Sundarban, and Bangladesh. By considering the scope, 28 articles and 17 reports were incorporated to satisfy the objectives. The study revealed that the prominent causes of biodiversity loss of  Sundarban might be due to intensified shrimp cultivation, increased dependency on forest and illicit felling, changing land use pattern, oil spillage, and pollution, forest fire, improper management practices, plant diseases, tourism activities, upstream withdrawal of river water, salinity intrusion, climate change, and some natural causes. The impacts were the loss of diversity of floral and faunal species subjected to regionally extinct, critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable, near threatened, and least concern condition.  Finally, the study recommended the formulation of  a special mangrove forest policy and proper management practices of  Sundarban with several environmental protection strategies that should be adopted to conserve this unique ecosystem
How to manage global partner relationships to achieve sustainability goals: A decision support system using the Best-Worst Method and applied to cargo airlines
Authors: Verwer Tim P , Kamp Linda M
Published: January 2025

The urgency of sustainability in aviation has led to a focus on operational activities, especially in the global supply chain of cargo airlines. This study introduces a Decision Support System (DSS) to improve Partner Relationship Management. The DSS helps partners work toward sustainability goals. It uses the Best-Worst Method in a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making framework. The DSS segments partners based on their sustainability capabilities and willingness. It also proposes targeted strategies. The system was applied to a cargo airline aiming for zero emissions and zero waste, managing Ground Handling Agents across 168 outstations. The application showed the effectiveness of partner segmentation, with most partners demonstrating high capability and willingness. A step-by-step strategy was developed to implement sustainability practices, including a checklist for performance assessment. The study concludes that the DSS and strategy offer a structured and actionable approach that can be adapted for other cargo airlines. Future research is recommended to validate the DSS in other industries, explore alternative segmentation methods, and refine strategies considering partner size and impact.

UMKM SEBAGAI PILAR DALAM MEMBANGUN PERTUMBUHAN EKONOMI TERHADAP KESEJAHTERAAN MASYARAKAT
Authors: Mustari Nur Hikmah
Published: January 2025

Pada dasarnya, penduduk Indonesia mengalami peningkatan setiap tahunnya. Kepadatan penduduk tinggi berpotensi menyebabkan ketidakstabilan ekonomi dalam memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat. Olehnya itu, pemerintah dituntut untuk menrealisasikan kewajibannya dalam mewujudkan kesejahteraan masyarakat melalui kebijakan ekonomi yang menitikberatkan pada pemerataan, pengelolaan pertumbuhan populasi yang kian meningkat, dan pengembangan kualitas sumber daya manusia. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi kepustakaan dengan pengumpulan data digital library, situs web, dan koneksi jurnal perpustakaan sesuai kata kunci topik penelitian: UMKM, Pertumbuhan Ekonomi, dan Pilar Kesejahteraan Masyarakat. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa salah satu alat penopang dalam mendukung pertumbuhan ekonomi untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat ialah UMKM, karena mampu menyerap 97% total tenaga kerja dan menyumbang PDB 61%. Bahkan krisis ekonomi 1997-1998 UMKM menunjukkan resiliensi yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan perusahaan besar. Namun, pemerintah perlu mengembangkan UMKM mengingat jumlah penduduk berada ke-4 di dunia. Dengan melakukan penyederhanaan regulasi dan perizinan, akses pembiayaan, pelatihan manajemen, peningkatan kapasitas teknologi, serta perluasan akses pasar sangat diperlukan. Tujuannya untuk mendorong pemerataan ekonomi, perluasan lapangan kerja, pengurangan kesenjangan pendapatan, dan peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Sehingga masyarakat lebih mudah mengakses layanan publik, dan meningkatnya taraf hidupnya. Hal ini, sekaligus menjadi langkah konkret dalam merealisasikan demokrasi ekonomi yang diamanatkan oleh Pasal 33 UUD 1945.

Authors: Fauzi Muchamad Rizky , Sudarmiatin Sudarmiatin , Rahayu Wening Patmi
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the influence of promotion on Islamic Bank product adoption among SMEs in the Kediri Residency region, employing a quantitative approach with data collected through questionnaires distributed to registered SME actors. The research reveals that while promotion does not directly positively impact product adoption decisions, it indirectly enhances Islamic Banks' image and customer trust, thereby increasing the likelihood of product adoption. By demonstrating the complex relationship between promotional strategies and SME decision-making, the study highlights the importance of comprehensive marketing approaches that focus on building institutional credibility and trust, rather than relying solely on traditional promotional techniques. The findings offer valuable insights for Islamic Banks seeking to expand their market presence and effectively engage with SME stakeholders in an increasingly competitive financial landscape.
