Authors: Permatasari Devi , Hamranani Sri Sat Titi , Happy Aulia
Published: July 2024

Premenopause is a transition from reproductive to non-reproductive starting at the age of 40-50 years. The climacterium is the 4-5 year period that occurs before menopause. Regular physical activity with a duration of more than 60 minutes can reduce climacteric symptoms. Efforts to improve the health of premenopausal mothers need to be made to reduce the impact of climacteric symptoms. Efforts to improve health can be carried out by promoting health regarding premenopause, climacteric symptoms and joint physical activity. Health promotion is intended to increase knowledge of the importance of physical activity in reducing premenopausal symptoms. Premenopausal mothers are also trained for physical activity by means of elderly exercise. The aim of this service is to increase the knowledge of premenopausal mothers in reducing climacteric symptoms with physical activity. And mothers are able to practice directly doing physical activities in the form of elderly exercise to improve health and fitness. Premenopausal mothers are also given health checks in the form of checking blood pressure, checking GDS and uric acid. The results of community service were an increase in the knowledge of premenopausal mothers after being given education about physical activity and the climacterium, namely good knowledge of 86%, and sufficient knowledge of 14%. All premenopausal mothers have carried out physical activity and health checks in the form of blood pressure, GDS checks, uric acid level checks, vital signs and maternal weight checks. The conclusion is that the majority of premenopausal mothers have good knowledge about the importance of physical activity and climacteric symptoms so that mothers can increase daily physical activity in preventing climacteric symptoms

Authors: Klongyut Sakaya , Jantori Parichat
Published: July 2024

In this study the relationship between awareness and implementation of Environmental Management Accounting within small and medium-sized enterprises listed in Market for Alternative Investment in Thailand was explored. A descriptive and correlational study design was adopted, and questionnaires were used to collect data from 57 small- and medium-sized Thai enterprises. The results provided empirical evidence that these firms had a moderate to high level of awareness of some aspects of environmental management accounting, and were practicing it to a certain extent. Furthermore, a positive correlation (.500, p < .01) between environmental accounting awareness and accounting practice was found. Hence, this implied that when firms were aware of the impact of environmental disclosures on their operations and had access to environmental management accounting knowledge, they were more likely to adopt appropriate accounting practices. The implementation of environmental accounting among small to medium enterprises in Thailand is still in the early stages. Further support and development are required to foster implementation. Further studies are encouraged–both qualitative studies to gain deeper insights into challenges of implementing environmental management accounting, and quantitative studies about factors that would better enable its practice.

Published: July 2024

Generation Z, born from the mid-1990s to the early 2010s, is deeply influenced by digital advancements, which shape their dietary behaviors. While social media and technology provide abundant nutrition information, they also expose Generation Z to the allure of fast food and processed snacks, challenging their efforts to maintain a balanced diet. This struggle is exacerbated by hectic lifestyles and pervasive advertising targeting unhealthy foods. Consequently, nutrition-related issues like obesity and eating disorders are on the rise. However, Generation Z holds potential to drive positive dietary changes, fueled by their health consciousness and tech-savvy nature. Innovative education programs and technology can play pivotal roles in promoting healthier eating habits. This mixed-methods research, focusing on urban and semi-urban areas in Indonesia, aims to comprehensively explore Generation Z's diets. Findings reveal a varied dietary landscape, highlighting the prevalence of breakfast consumption but a lack of nutritional balance. Bridging the gap between nutrition knowledge and practice necessitates interactive education and policy interventions, vital for fostering healthier dietary habits among Generation Z.

Published: July 2024

In 2022, a year marked by high-profile deaths, leaders worldwide expressed their condolences for the passing of Mr. Shinzo Abe, Queen Elizabeth II, and Pope Benedict XVI. This study primarily compares the condolence strategies employed to honor these distinguished figures. An analysis of the deceased individuals naturally revealed some significant differences, such as their role, gender, cause of death, and length of reign or term as a leader. This study investigates how these differences influenced the choice of condolence strategies. The dataset comprises 150 official statements, including letters and Twitter messages, written in English by world leaders, with 50 messages dedicated to each deceased individual released to the public shortly after their passing. A modified coding scheme, focusing on linguistic realizations, was applied to perform the relevant analysis on these official condolence communications. While there were a variety of condolence strategies used for the three deceased individuals, direct strategies prevailed over indirect strategies, with slight variations among sub-strategies. Among the direct sub-strategies, the use of an address term, was the most commonly utilized. Differences in role, cause of death, and length of reign or term as leader contributed to the choice of condolence strategy made by well-wishers, while gender did not.

En medio de un tejido social quebrantado por la exacerbación de la guerra y de un pueblo escéptico ante los rezagos de su propia historia, el 24 de noviembre de 2016, el Gobierno Nacional y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC), firmaron el Acuerdo final para la terminación del conflicto y la construcción de una paz estable y duradera.Los impactos de un conflicto armado de más de cincuenta años, considerado el más prolongado, sistemático y sostenido del continente americano, así como las negociaciones de paz fallidas que había vivido Colombia en las últimas tres décadas, se convirtieron en el sustrato que alentaría a defensores y detractores del proceso de paz adelantado por el gobierno del presidente Santos. De esta forma, tanto los diálogos de paz, como la firma e implementación del Acuerdo, develarían la imagen de un país dividido.En el marco de las negociaciones y el Plebiscito, la polarización se fundamentó en el rechazo o aceptación de la firma de los Acuerdos. Tras un año de la firma, la fragmentación del país cobraría cuerpo entre acuerdos y desacuerdos, siendo el proceso de implementación el encargado de marcar los matices de la contienda.Algunos hilos y nudos de los que pende el proceso de posacuerdo, fueron objeto de disertación en el marco de las ediciones XXV y XXVI de la Cátedra Democracia y Ciudadanía, denominadas Los retos de implementación en los Acuerdos de Paz y Territorio, paz, poder y nación, respectivamente. Dichas disertaciones permitieron recopilar estas memorias de una paz en disputa.

Published: July 2024

This report, conducted by the Dutch research organization TNO, presents the first detailed life cycle inventory (LCI) analysis of operational floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems. The study, focusing on two operational systems in Western Europe, reveals that FPV systems on small inland water bodies can be a valuable complement to ground-mounted PV systems in terms of greenhouse gas emissions reduction. If PV module degradation is limited, these systems’ carbon footprint is 3-4 times lower than the EU grid mix target for 2030. The report compares two FPV systems with different floater compositions (HDPE and steel/HDPE) to hypothetical ground-mounted systems, using comprehensive background data. The findings highlight the necessity for long-term monitoring and thorough environmental assessments. Josco Kester, a scientist at TNO, underscores the potential environmental benefits of these systems, which could enhance the adoption of renewable energy technologies.

The Vertex Distance on Cayley Digraphs of Rectangular Groups with respect to the Cartesian Product Connection Sets
Authors: Pongpipat Denpong , Nupo Nuttawoot
Published: July 2024

A rectangular group S is a semigroup isomorphic to the direct product of a group, a left zero semigroup, and a right zero semigroup. The Cayley digraph Cay(S,A) of a finite rectangular group S with respect to a nonempty subset A of S is defined as a digraph with vertex set S and arc set consisting of ordered pairs (u,ua) in SxS for some a in A. The set A is called a connection set of Cay(S,A). Let u and v be in S. The distance from u to v in Cay(S,A), denoted by d(u,v), is the number of arcs in the shortest directed u-v path if one exists and is infinity otherwise. In this paper, we characterize the distances of any two vertices in Cayley digraphs of rectangular groups with respect to the Cartesian product connection sets

Sociality and negotiation in the research grid interview
Authors: Jankowicz Devi
Published: July 2024

When we use a grid to understand someone, we describe what we’re doing as eliciting constructs – using our expertise as if we were pulling teeth out of a person’s head. This image of a tooth available for extraction – something that is clearly there, distinct and separate, provides a metaphor inviting further discussion to avoid an oversimplification. A moment’s reflection on grid procedure indicates that something more subtle is going on: we are negotiating over meaning. This negotiation is an interactive process in which both parties, interviewer and interviewee, have to influence the other if their distinct aims are to be achieved. The interviewer’s careful management of sociality is essential if s/he is to do justice to the interviewee’s construing. Something similar happens in the relationship between the interviewer and the data obtained.

Character development education for children remains largely overlooked, with the majority only receiving instruction within elementary school classrooms, lacking practical activities to enhance their awareness. In our community empowerment project at the Baitul Hidayah Foundation, we endeavored to address this gap by providing materials, educational sessions, games, and project activities centered around children's character development, employing the 4-color character approach. Our efforts were guided by research focusing on children's character education and its impact on their comprehension of the significance of possessing good character to nurture positive relationships with peers, siblings, and others. Furthermore, following the outcomes of the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) involving the Baitul Hidayah Cijantung Foundation and Group 6 members, it became evident that the Baitul Hidayah Foundation had previously neglected character development education for its students, to the extent of never incorporating it into their curriculum. Therefore, our Community Empowerment Group 4 set out to rectify this deficiency by educating students at the Baitul Hidayah Foundation about the importance of character and providing guidance on its practical application.

Authors: L. Salman Al-Farisi
Published: July 2024

The theme of Islam-West relations in this paper explores several findings from academic studies, utilizing a literary study approach aimed at elucidating the 'roots' of conflict and the factors influencing the occurrence of conflict in Islam-West relations. Findings from an in-depth analysis of several current literatures describe the historicity and the impact analysis of the Crusades as the root of the issues underlying the confrontation and clash (conflict) in Islam-West relations. Furthermore, the most influential factors in shaping Western stereotypes of Islam are attributed to misunderstandings in the application of the 'sacred concept' of democracy and the interpretation of the 'evil doctrine' of Jihad, as well as the mention of "soft terrorism" regarding the Muslim migration process to Europe. Subsequently, it presents several criticisms, rebuttals, refinements, and rejections of the clash of civilizations thesis. Finally, it prepares a conceptual framework regarding Indonesia's strategic position and role as the world's largest Muslim democracy in the context of issues related to Islam-West relations.

Inicialmente, se comenta que en este territorio pueblos indígenas han mantenido concepciones de género que difieren de las categorías binarias impuestas por la colonización europea. Luego se abordan los aportes críticos del feminismo decolonial frente a las visiones universalistas del género del feminismo blanco hegemónico. A continuación, se señalan antecedentes sobre la relación entre colonialidad y género, destacando el trabajo de Oyèrónk? Oy?wùmí, quien cuestiona la aplicabilidad de las categorías de género y patriarcado en sociedades precoloniales. Posteriormente, se comparan las posturas de dos autoras claves: María Lugones, que argumenta que el género se instauró a partir de la colonialidad; y Rita Segato, quien afirma que el género tiene una existencia pre-colonial, aunque de modo diferente al occidental. Esto da pie para discutir sobre el impacto de la colonialidad en la construcción del género en Abya Yala, destacando la diferencia entre dualidad y binarismo, señalando persistencias y resistencias frente al mismo y comentando que el cuestionamiento de la división dicotómica de género impulsa a cuestionar otros tipos de binarismos. Se enfatiza la precaución para evitar idealizaciones simplistas de las comunidades indígenas y el pasado pre-colonial. Finalmente, se concluye que gracias al feminismo decolonial se cuestiona la idea de que el género es una categoría universal y unívoca, y que desafiando binarismos podemos cuestionar la epistemología occidental.

The study was performed to evaluate the habitat-dependent avian diversity in the southern region of Haryana from March 2021 to March 2023. The study aimed to identify avian species diversity in three habitats (agrifields, human settlement, and industrial zone) along with diversity indices and relative diversity. A total of 5037 birds belonging to 17 orders, 41 families, and 88 species were investigated with Simpson’s diversity index of 0.973 and Shannon– Wiener index of 4.04. Analysis of threat status revealed 38 species with stable population trends, 19 increasing, 20 decreasing, and 11 species having unknown trends. Out of 88 species, the IUCN status of two species Aquila nipalensis and Psittacula eupatria was endangered and near threatened, respectively; the rest 86 belonged to the least concern category. Of the total, 81% of species were residential, 10 were winter migratory, and 7 were summer migratory. Among the three habitats, agrifields were the most diverse, followed by human settlement and industrial zone. Diversified assemblages of birds suggested the region as a suitable habitat for both resident and migratory birds. This study highlights the need for more regular investigations to assess yearly avian diversity and possible threats to design comprehensive conservation plans.

Personalized learning resource recommendations may help resolve the difficulties of online education that include learning mazes and information overload. However, existing personalized learning resource recommendation algorithms have shortcomings such as low accuracy and low efficiency. This study proposes a deep recommendation system algorithm based on a knowledge graph (D-KGR) that includes four data processing units. These units are the recommendation unit (RS unit), the knowledge graph feature representation unit (KGE unit), the cross compression unit (CC unit), and the feature extraction unit (FE unit). This model integrates technologies including the knowledge graph, deep learning, neural network, and data mining. It introduces cross compression in the feature learning process of the knowledge graph and predicts user attributes. Multimodal technology is used to optimize the process of project attribute processing; text type attributes, multivalued type attributes, and other type attributes are processed separately to reconstruct the knowledge graph. A convolutional neural network algorithm is introduced in the reconstruction process to optimize the data feature qualities. Experimental analysis was conducted from two aspects of algorithm efficiency and accuracy, and the particle swarm optimization, neural network, and knowledge graph algorithms were compared. Several tests showed that the deep recommendation system algorithm had obvious advantages when the number of learning resources and users exceeded 1,000. It has the ability to integrate systems such as the particle swarm optimization iterative classification, neural network intelligent simulation, and low resource consumption. It can quickly process massive amounts of information data, reduce algorithm complexity and requires less time and had lower costs. Our algorithm also has better efficiency and accuracy.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which induces an acute respiratory illness commonly referred to as COVID-19, had been designated as a pandemic by the World Health Organization due to its highly infectious nature and the associated public health risks it poses globally. Identifying the critical factors for predicting mortality is essential for improving patient therapy. Unlike other data types, such as computed tomography scans, x-radiation, and ultrasounds, basic blood test results are widely accessible and can aid in predicting mortality. The present research advocates the utilization of machine learning (ML) methodologies for predicting the likelihood of infectious disease like COVID-19 mortality by leveraging blood test data. Age, LDH (lactate dehydrogenase), lymphocytes, neutrophils, and hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) are five extremely potent characteristics that, when combined, can accurately predict mortality in 96% of cases. By combining XGBoost feature importance with neural network classification, the optimal approach can predict mortality with exceptional accuracy from infectious disease, along with achieving a precision rate of 90% up to 16 days before the event. The studies suggested model’s excellent predictive performance and practicality were confirmed through testing with three instances that depended on the days to the outcome. By carefully analyzing and identifying patterns in these significant biomarkers insightful information has been obtained for simple application. This study offers potential remedies that could accelerate decision-making for targeted medical treatments within healthcare systems, utilizing a timely, accurate, and reliable method.

NRF2 is an important transcription factor that regulates redox homeostasis in vivo and exerts its anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory response by binding to the ARE to activate and regulate the transcription of downstream protective protein genes, reducing the release of reactive oxygen species. Ferroptosis is a novel iron-dependent, lipid peroxidation-driven cell death mode, and recent studies have shown that ferroptosis is closely associated with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). NRF2 is able to regulate ferroptosis through the regulation of the transcription of its target genes to ameliorate ALI/ARDS. Therefore, This article focuses on how NRF2 plays a role in ALI/ARDS by regulating ferroptosis. We further reviewed the literature and deeply analyzed the signaling pathways related to ferroptosis which were regulated by NRF2. Additionally, we sorted out the chemical molecules targeting NRF2 that are effective for ALI/ARDS. This review provides a relevant theoretical basis for further research on this theory and the prevention and treatment of ALI/ARDS. The intended audience is clinicians and researchers in the field of respiratory disease.
