The bacterial genome is of high interest for understanding the many mechanisms that occur inside bacteria, as well as during their interaction with the environment under the influence of many factors. The genome of each species retains a clear structure, i.e. remains conservative in most cases. The internal structure of genes may differ due to mutations, deletions, and insertions. Inserts of migrating DNA elements of various sizes, these structures introduce polymorphism into genes. Like any system, bacteria cannot exist in isolation and are forced to change under environmental conditions. Existing mechanisms of adaptation such as: regulation of genome transcription to fluctuations in temperature, pressure and concentration of metal ions; communication links between individuals of the bacterial population, providing modulation of the expression of protein factors depending on the density of the bacterial focus in the focus of infection. In understanding the essence of the mechanism of «quorum sensing» – the ability to regulate the expression of microorganism genes in response to fluctuations in the density of the cell population, the materials accumulated on the regulation of gene transcription and the expression of their products that change the virulence of the pathogen help to understand.

Studies were carried out on 118 cows of black and white Holsteinized breed with certain genotypes according to beta- (CSN2) and kappa-casein (CSN3) genes. The aim of the study was to examine the qualitative composition and technological properties of milk and milk whey of black and white Holsteinized cows obtained by the rennet coagulation studies in the relationship with the genotypes for beta- and kappa-casein genes. The distribution of alleles for the CSN2 gene in the studied population: A1 – 0,424 and A2 – 0,576. The distribution of alleles for the CSN3 gene: A – 0,754 and B – 0,246. Among the cows studied, most of the animals (55,9 %) are carriers of the A1A2 genotype, 29,7 % of the A2A2 and 14,4 % of the A1A1. Carriers of the AA genotype were 57,6 % of the animals, 35,6 % were AB and only 6,8 % were BB. The whey-to-milk ratio showed reliable differences and trends among the groups of animals of different genotypes by CSN2 and CSN3 genes for the indices of MFF, MFP lactose content, dry matter and casein content, which indicates the influence of genotype on the properties of milk during technological processing. Single-factor analysis of variance showed a significant effect of CSN2 gene genotype on rennet clotting and MFP in milk. Also a significant effect of CSN3 gene has been shown on rennet coagulation of milk, milk yield, MFF, MFP, casein content; in this connection it is the most perspective factor for further study and inclusion in breeding programs in order to increase genetic potential of milk productivity and qualitative composition of milk most suitable for processing in the populations of black and white Holstein breed.

Authors: Kobayashi Junko , Viswat Linda
Published: August 2023

This paper summarizes the results of interviews and questionnaires of 20 American business people who have experience in doing business with Japanese people and discusses how Americans with a high degree of intercultural awareness made compromises or could make compromises in order to conduct business negotiations more efficiently. While acknowledging that one’s intercultural communication competence is context-dependent and there is no panacea for resolving cultural differences, the constructive responses given by the American business people will certainly help deepen Japanese and American mutual understanding. This paper examines intercultural awareness and accommodation from a broader perspective, going beyond the previous fixed unilateral accommodation by Japanese business people. The results of these surveys offer many insights for business people who wish to do business internationally.
Academic Hyper-mobility and Cosmopolitan Dispositions
Authors: Kirpitchenko Liudmila
Published: August 2023

Academic hyper-mobility provides a chance for exploring intensified intercultural communication encounters and the ever growing spirit of cosmopolitanism. This article hypothesises that in the modern conditions of academic hyper-mobility, cultural patterns play a significant part in framing the processes of communication. The purpose of this research is to examine the role of two differing cultural patterns – collectivism and individualism - in everyday situations of intercultural communication. Qualitative data are drawn from fifteen in-depth interviews conducted among mobile academics from Eastern Europe at the European University Institute in Italy. Several aspects of intercultural dialogue were found to be culturally significant for collectivists and individualists, including: in-group membership, expression of the self, cultural values, and cosmopolitan dispositions. It is a central argument of this article that cosmopolitan dispositions, which include openness to cultural diversity and mutual willingness to engage with new cultural patterns, are critical prerequisites to effective intercultural knowledge transfer and creation of knowledge.

Whenever we turn our TV news channel on, we are likely to hear about an Iran-U.S. conflict. Images of the leaders of these two countries intimidating each other can be seen in news channels all over the world. When we are talking about Iran-U.S. international relations, most people think of the political relations which this study takes as intergovernmental rather than international relations. In this study, as we are Iranian and U.S. scholars, we tried a systematic review of studies focusing on perceptions the Iranian and American people have of each other. Our systematic review of studies reveals that, Americans have more negative perceptions of Iranians than the Iranians have of their American counterparts. Moreover, we discussed sources for these perceptions as well.

Professional Doctorate in Translation and Interpreting: Next Thing on the Horizon in Chinese Mainland
Authors: LI RUI , ZHANG AILING
Published: August 2023

Abstract In Chinese mainland higher education institutions, translator and interpreter education comprises research-oriented Master’s and Doctoral programs in translation and interpreting studies, and Bachelor’s and Master’s-level programs that focus on
developing students’ practical translation and interpreting skills and knowledge. A limited few also offer conference interpreter training that leads to a professional diploma. While this structure has been established for the past two decades or so, many Chinese scholars have argued
in favor of adding a professional doctorate in translation and interpreting (DTI) to the mix and expect it to have positive implications for academia and the industry. This paper provides the context in which DTI should be interpreted and takes stock of the proposals for its design. It also
makes a brief comparison of DTI and the traditional academic doctorate in terms of admission, research goals, focus of study, assessment approaches, as well as internship and dissertation requirements, and it argues for the need for finer differentiation.

Published: August 2023

Abstract The phenomenon of self-translation dates back more than two thousand years (Kumakhova 2005), but it was not studied by academics until the 1960s because of its unique and marginal nature. In order to examine the similarities and differences in research focus as well
as the overall situation of self-translation research in China and abroad, this study gathered relevant literature on self-translation research from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science, which are broadly recognized databases in China and abroad; and it used
CiteSpace 6.1.R2 visualization software to generate a scientific knowledge map to examine comprehensively the current situation, hot spots, and frontiers of this field, so as to come up ultimately with forward-looking suggestions for the future development of self-translation studies.
Reception of the Interpretation of China’s Political Discourse in English-language Media and Variations in China’s Image
Authors: ZHANG QIAO , ZHANG AILING
Published: August 2023

Abstract Studies of the language interpretation of Chinese political discourse usually focus on the interpretation product through a textual analysis conducted between the source and target-language texts. Few studies touch upon the reception and implications of this specific
type of interpretation in English-language media. This study aims to investigate the proportion of different types of representations in media coverage and the variations in China’s image. Firstly, we present the distribution of different types of representation; this is followed by
a calculation of the frequency of appraisal epithets within the appraisal system; finally, the study identifies various translation strategies employed in government interpretation and media reports, and the variations in China’s image. The evidence suggests the statistical significance
of both equaled and downgraded images between the government interpretation and media translation; furthermore, government interpretation presenting more cases of equaled images, and media translation produced a higher number of downgraded images.
Climate Variability Adaptation Strategies Used by Small-Scale Maize Farmers in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya
Authors: Busolo Temina Arivitsa , Koech Michael K. , Wemali Evelyn
Published: August 2023

The agricultural industry is threatened by climate variability due to its over-reliance on climatic conditions. Maize production faces similar threats due to its sensitivity to climate variations and changes in weather patterns, specifically rainfall and temperature. Increased temperatures, rainfall variability, and heightened frequency of climate extremes, such as long periods of drought, were found to have a significant impact on Kenya’s maize production. This study therefore sought to identify climate variability adaptation strategies used by small-scale maize farmers in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya, to curb the effects of climate variability on maize yield. The study adopted a descriptive survey design where questionnaires were administered to 394 household heads. The results show some farmers chose different adaptation strategies to lessen the impact of climate variability on maize yield, while others stuck to their original methods of farming. Changing crop varieties and changing planting dates were the highly opted-for adaptation strategies, while dry planting, irrigation farming, planting drought-tolerant crops and soil moisture conservation techniques were the least opted-for adaptation strategies. Socioeconomic factors such as land size, education level, age, gender and marital status had a strong influence on the choice of utilisation of various adaptation strategies. So as to curb the adverse outcomes of climate variability and empower small-scale maize farmers, the study recommended proper education on diverse adaptation methods, access to accurate climate data for proper adjustment to planting dates, sensitization on different crop varieties as well as access to financial resources to promote practices like irrigation farming

Published: August 2023

Despite recent advancements in the field of neuro-ophthalmology, the rising rates of neurological and ophthalmological conditions, mismatches between supply and demand of clinicians, and an aging population underscore the urgent need to explore new therapeutic approaches within the field. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), traditionally used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, are becoming increasingly appreciated for their diverse applications. Recently, GLP-1RAs have been approved for the treatment of obesity and recognized for their cardioprotective effects. Emerging evidence indicates some GLP-1RAs can cross the blood-brain barrier and may have neuroprotective effects. Therefore, this article aims to review the literature on the neurologic and neuro-ophthalmic role of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). This article describes GLP-1 peptide characteristics and the mechanisms mediating its known role in increasing insulin, decreasing glucagon, delaying gastric emptying, and promoting satiety. This article identifies the sources and targets of GLP-1 in the brain and review the mechanisms which mediate its neuroprotective effects, as well as implications for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Furthermore, the preclinical works which unravel the effects of GLP-1 in ocular dynamics and the preclinical literature regarding GLP-1RA use in the management of several neuro-ophthalmic conditions, including diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) are discussed.

Aim: As far as is known, the pharmaceutical effects of neem on human B-lymphoblastoid (TK6) cells have not been studied until now. Hence, the present study aimed to obtain neem phenolic extracts for inhibits the proliferation of TK6 cells and explore some possible underlying mechanisms involved in these effects.
Methods: Hexane extract (HE) was obtained in the first step. After that, the residual hexane was removed from the neem. The dried neem sample was used in a new extraction for obtaining the ethyl acetate extract (EAE). Total phenolic compounds (TPC) and total flavonoid contents (TFC) were determined by spectrophotometric methods. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) tests were used to evaluate the cytotoxicity in TK6 cells. The stop at G0/G1 cell cycle and inducing apoptosis in the TK6 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. For deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage evaluation, the alkaline comet test was used.
Results: The higher TFC (65.50 mg/g of extract ± 1.17 mg/g of extract) and TPC (52.08 mg of extract ± 0.88 mg of extract) were obtained in EAE compared to HE that was obtained TFC of 14.61 mg/g of extract ± 0.60 mg/g of extract and TPC of 3.20 mg/g of extract ± 1.20 mg/g of extract. EAE was more significantly cytotoxic to TK6 cells than HE. The apoptosis induction was higher after exposure to 15.0 µg/mL of EAE (11.29%) in comparison to 15.0 µg/mL of HE (2.52%). The G0/G1 phase increased from 72% negative control (NC) to 83% after treatment with neem extracts (15 µg/mL). Neem extracts were also able to cause DNA strand breaks in TK6 cells.
Conclusions: The extraction residue from neem leaf after hexane extraction is a source important of cytotoxic and genotoxic molecules against TK6 cells, the results also can suggest that the toxic effects in TK6 cells can be provided most likely due to the presence of high content of TPC from neem extracts.
Aspirin and the metabolic hallmark of cancer: novel therapeutic opportunities for colorectal cancer
Authors: Hoskin Ashley J. , Holt Amy K. , Legge Danny N. , Collard Tracey J. , Williams Ann C. , Vincent Emma E.
Published: August 2023

Aspirin is a well-known nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that has a recognized role in cancer prevention as well as evidence to support its use as an adjuvant for cancer treatment. Importantly there has been an increasing number of studies contributing to the mechanistic understanding of aspirins’ anti-tumour effects and these studies continue to inform the potential clinical use of aspirin for both the prevention and treatment of cancer. This review focuses on the emerging role of aspirin as a regulator of metabolic reprogramming, an essential “hallmark of cancer” required to support the increased demand for biosynthetic intermediates needed for sustained proliferation. Cancer cells frequently undergo metabolic rewiring driven by oncogenic pathways such as hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), wingless-related integration site (Wnt), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), which supports the increased proliferative rate as tumours develop and progress. Reviewed here, cellular metabolic reprogramming has been identified as a key mechanism of action of aspirin and include the regulation of key metabolic drivers, the regulation of enzymes involved in glycolysis and glutaminolysis, and altered nutrient utilisation upon aspirin exposure. Importantly, as aspirin treatment exposes metabolic vulnerabilities in tumour cells, there is an opportunity for the use of aspirin in combination with specific metabolic inhibitors in particular, glutaminase (GLS) inhibitors currently in clinical trials such as telaglenastat (CB-839) and IACS-6274 for the treatment of colorectal and potentially other cancers. The increasing evidence that aspirin impacts metabolism in cancer cells suggests that aspirin could provide a simple, relatively safe, and cost-effective way to target this important hallmark of cancer. Excitingly, this review highlights a potential new role for aspirin in improving the efficacy of a new generation of metabolic inhibitors currently undergoing clinical investigation.

Soil Moisture Change and Prediction Model Development Using Weather and Soil Environment Information for Field Vegetables
Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Kang So Ra , Cho Kyung Chul , Na Myung Hwan
Published: August 2023

Soil moisture is an essential element for plant growth and is biochemically affected by weather and soil environments. Farmers have difficulties in managing soil moisture, and existing soil moisture prediction models require a lot of environmental information. Therefore, we intend to develop a model that predicts soil moisture per hour using only limited environmental information. First, the relationship between soil moisture and the environment is identified through correlation analysis. Next, a statistical soil moisture prediction model was developed through a nonlinear regression model (NLS) using a sigmoid function. Finally, in order to confirm whether the proposed model is suitable as a soil moisture prediction model, it was compared with the machine learning algorithms of support vector regression (SVR), random forest (RF), and extreme gradient boosting (XGB), which are widely used in previous studies. Through root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE), it was found that the NLS model was superior in field cultivation and underestimated the maximum soil moisture in paddy cultivation compared to other models. Since the proposed model is easy to apply in various soil environments, it is expected to help as a useful soil moisture management system for farmers.
A Study on the Ruin Risk and Optimal Asset Allocation: Focused on the effect of mortality rate improvement
Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Lee Dong-Hwa , Kim Daehwan
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyze the ruin risk by incorporating the effect of mortality rate improvement and propose self-annuitization strategies. For this purpose, this study conducted an analysis using the ruin risk, which is calculated by multiplying the probability of assets falling below zero at each point in time during the lifespan by the cumulative probability of survival until that age. The analysis shows the following results: Firstly, when the mortality rate improvement is taken into account, the ruin risk increases by 2.59%p to 8.97%p depending on asset allocations. Secondly, when investments were primarily focused on principal guarantee, the ruin risk shows a significant increase as a result of mortality rate improvement. Thirdly, from the perspective of the ruin risk, the optimal investment proportion of risky assets is around 70% when considering mortality rate improvement, and around 50% when not considering mortality rate improvement. Fourthly, as retirees' age increases, the probability of asset shortfall increases rapidly when the investment proportion in deposits is high. Given that many retirees are currently invested in annuities with a principal guarantee focus, the simulation analysis of the ruin risk considering various asset allocations can provide useful insights for retirees when they consider self-annuitization strategies in the future.
Time series analysis of electricity demand and long-term forecast
Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Chang Seong Yeon
Published: August 2023

This study considers the time series characteristics in residential electricity demand function and forecasts long-run electricity demand in Korea. It is widely known that electricity demand and its determinants are unit root processes, so that estimating and forecasting the electricity demand function based on cointegration relationship are common in empirical analyses. We apply unit root tests on monthly time series data for the period 2006:01-2022:12. Korea has experienced the rapid development and social changes over this period, which provides convincing evidence of the possibility of structural changes. The unit root test of Dickey, Fuller (1979) tends to be biased in favor of non-rejection of the unit root null hypothesis if the process considered is trend-stationary with a slope change. What we found is that electricity demand and its determinants are trend-stationary processes allowing for a slope change, whereby there is no need to invoke either cointegration regression model or error-correction model under the unit root assumption. We apply a regression model with a structural change to estimate the residential electricity demand function and forecast the long-run electricity demand for the period 2023-2050.

Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Kim Jong-Ho , Moon Sang-Young
Published: August 2023

This study empirically analyzed the differences before and after COVID-19 in the effect of entrepreneurial attitude on entrepreneurship using the 2002-2022 national survey data of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). Entrepreneurial attitude indicators include ‘perceived opportunities rate’, ‘perceived capabilities rate’, ‘fear of failure’, and ‘entrepreneurial intentions rate’, and countries were classified into three different income groups according to GDP per capita. According to the results of a fixed-effect panel regression analysis, regardless of the country's income level, adults with entrepreneurial intentions participated more actively in entrepreneurial activities after the outbreak of COVID-19. In high-income countries with a GDP per capita of $40,000 or more, the possibility of adults with entrepreneurial skills becoming more involved in entrepreneurial activities increased after COVID-19. In middle-income countries with GDP per capita of $20,000 to $40,000, the share of adults who connect entrepreneurial opportunities to entrepreneurship has increased since COVID-19. Meanwhile, in high-income and middle-income countries, the proportion of adults who are reluctant to start a business due to fear of failure, but are forced to start a business, has increased after Corona 19. After all, the effect of entrepreneurial attitude on entrepreneurship has changed since COVID-19, but the effect of COVID-19 varies with the country's income level. The results of this study show that in order to improve the efficiency of entrepreneurship policies, the heterogeneous effects of COVID-19 by country should be reflected.

Deeper learning has been used to describe the set of competencies or goals that students need to cultivate or achieve. It refers to the characteristics of learning methods (or learning processes) aimed at reaching such objectives. The goal of deeper learning is to enhance the ability to “clearly understand the content of the curriculum and apply it in the classroom and professional settings,” and related studies consider it essential for success in future college life, career life, and civic life. The D University has been continuously operating a liberal arts tutoring program since the first semester of 2020. It shares many values and aspects pursued by deeper learning, as the key factors of deeper learning, such as self-regulated learning, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities, align with the purpose of the program. From this perspective, this study aims to measure the program participants’ level of deeper learning and quantitatively assess its effectiveness. Participants in the program revealed significant improvement in the overall level of deeper learning and some subscales compared to non-participants. In relation to the findings of the data analysis, the discussion on the educational effectiveness of specific programs in the higher education is provided.

This study aimed to determine the impact of Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn) on character education at SMK PGRI 1 Cimahi. Citizen knowledge, civic character, civic abilities, and patriotism character are examined by the researcher. The research method employed is a quantitative research method, and random sampling is the sampling technique. His investigation yielded a mean result of 51.7123, while the mean character education score for students was 41.9726. This study concludes that Pancasila and civic education (PPKn) have an impact on the character education of students at SMK PGRI 1 Cimahi.Methodology:This study employs a questionnaire methodology, wherein a set of questions is formulated and distributed to participants with the aim of eliciting their responses to these inquiries.Findings:The collection of variable measurements was conducted with a Likert scale through the suspension method. The participants in this study consisted of students enrolled in the eleventh grade at SMK PGRI 1 Cimahi.Implication:The sampling method is conducted using probability sampling, specifically employing a probability sample design.

Purpose:A patient is someone who needs health services or medical services in a hospital. In medical services, it does not rule out the possibility of an error or negligence. Mistakes or negligence made by health workers in carrying out their duties and profession can have fatal consequences, both on the body and soul of the patient, in this case, of course, it is very detrimental to the patient. Therefore, legal protection is needed for patients and accountability of health workers for losses suffered by patients.Methodology:The data collection techniques in the form of document studies. The data obtained is then processed and compiled systematically, then analyzed qualitatively.Findings:The author has the purpose of this study, first to know and examine the legal protection of patients in Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and Law Number 29 of 2004 concerning Medical Practice, and the second author examines the legal responsibility of doctors in the event of a misdiagnosis in case number 624 / PDT / 2019 / PT. DKI.Implication:Protection of patients in the event of misdiagnosis is regulated in several laws and regulations, namely in Article 1365 of the Civil Code, Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and Law Number 29 of 2004. The form of legal responsibility of doctors in the event of a misdiagnosis can be divided into ethical responsibility and legal responsibility. Legal responsibility can also be divided into administrative responsibility, criminal responsibility and civil responsibility.

Purpose: The action taken is that lending and borrowing are not accompanied by the existence of an item that the debtor guarantees. However, in reality, in banking, there is a provision of a facility from the bank for its customers who do not lend to the debtor without including a guarantee.Methodology: The research method conducted by the author is normative research. The formulation of the problems that will be discussed includes 1. What is the responsibility of the PPAT towards the cover note stating that the Mortgage will be installed? 2. What is the creditor's position in bankruptcy because the mortgage right is not installed by the PPAT? The responsibility of a PPAT for a cover note that has stated the installation of mortgage rights is a criminal responsibility in which the right leads to individual responsibility.Findings: There is an imposition of sanctions either dishonorably dismissed or imposition of an institution for an action carried out by the PPAT and the existence of civil responsibility that provides direction in compensating creditors with the loss of the certificate of ownership.Implication: Judging from the position of a creditor in bankruptcy because the mortgage right is not installed by the PPAT, it is a creditor's position in the event of bankruptcy if it is based on the position of creditors with an equal or equal position. The granting of equal rights from the results of a bankrupt boedel execution has been adjusted to the amount of each bill.

The Carrington flare in 1859 September is a benchmark, as the earliest reported solar flare and as an event with one of the greatest terrestrial impacts. To date, no rigorous estimate of the energy of this flare has been made on the basis of the only direct observation available, its white-light emission. Here, we exploit the historical observations to obtain a magnitude estimate and express it in terms of its GOES soft X-ray class. From Carrington’s original drawings, we estimated the area of the white-light flaring region to be 116 ± 25 msh. Carrington’s account allows us to estimate the flare blackbody brightness temperature as ≈8800–10,900 K, given the most plausible interpretation of the reported flare brightness. This leads to an unprecedented class estimate of ≈X80 (X46–X126), on the modern revised GOES scale (a factor 1.43 higher than the traditional one). This substantially exceeds earlier estimates but is based on an explicit interpretation of Carrington’s description. We also describe an alternative but less plausible estimation of the flare brightness, as adopted previously, to obtain a class estimate of ≈X14 (X9–X19). This now-deprecated scenario gives an estimate similar to that of with those of directly observed modern great flares. Approximations with “equivalent area,” based on the Hinode observations, lead to comparable magnitudes and approve our estimates, though with a larger uncertainty range. We note that our preferred estimate is higher than the currently used value of X64.4 ± 7.2 (revised) based on indirect geomagnetic measurements.
On the Sizes of Ionized Bubbles Around Galaxies During the Reionization Epoch. The Spectral Shapes of the Lyα Emission from Galaxies
Authors: Hayes Matthew J. , Scarlata Claudia
Published: August 2023

We develop a new method to determine the distance between a high-redshift galaxy and a foreground screen of atomic hydrogen. In a partially neutral universe, and assuming spherical symmetry, this equates to the radius of an ionized “bubble” (R
B) surrounding the galaxy. The method requires an observed Lyα equivalent width, its velocity offset from systemic, and an input Lyα profile for which we adopt scaled versions of the profiles observed in low-z galaxies. We demonstrate the technique in a sample of 23 galaxies at z > 6, including 8 at z = 7.2–10.6 recently observed with JWST. Our model estimates the emergent Lyα properties and the foreground distance to the absorbing intergalactic medium. We find that galaxies at z > 7.5 occupy smaller bubbles (∼0.5–1 pMpc) than those at lower z. With a relationship that is secure at 99% confidence, we empirically demonstrate the growth of ionized regions during the reionization epoch for the first time. We independently estimate the upper limit on the Strömgren radii (R
S), and derive the escape fraction of ionizing photons (

) from the ratio of R
B/R
S, deriving a median value of 5%, which, on average, represents the lower end of the photon budget necessary for reionization.
