Published: July 2023

One of the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic is the weakening of the character values of Sradha and Bakthi due to the lack of religious activities in society. This study aimed to describe improving the sraddha and bhakti characters of golden age children through making simple yadnya. The method used is qualitative, with data collection techniques using observation, interviews, and literature. The results of the study found that one pasraman, which educates golden age children, carried out activities to improve the character of sraddha and bhakti through the making of ceremonial facilities such as canang, kwangen, and ngulat tipat. The government's policy of allowing schools to reopen with various strict pro-health conditions and the obligation to maintain social distance provides Widya Pasraman Pompom Pratama wider opportunities to improve children's character even with a limited time. Collaboration between the school and parents is constructive in enhancing children's character in the future, one of which is the character values of sraddha and bhakti.

Shares are rights owned by a person against a company due to the delivery of capital, either in part or in whole. Investors invest in stocks and try to get maximum results, but many investors are still unsure about the risks involved in investing. To minimize risk, investors need to predict stock prices with an accurate method. Several methods that can be implemented to predict stock data include Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). The research objective to be achieved in this study is to compare the performance of each algorithm in producing a more accurate stock price forecasting model by testing neurons (10, 20, 30) and epochs (50, 75, 100). The research was conducted on the stock price data of PT. Merdeka Copper Gold Tbk (MDKA) which is a mining sector share with the largest capitalization value. Tests on some of the algorithms above got the best results using 82% training data and 18% test data, namely the MLP model with 10 neurons and 100 epochs with a MAPE training data result of 2.325 and a MAPE test data of 2.014. Based on the test results, MLP can predict MDKA stock prices for the 2018-2022 period with good performance and a relatively small error rate, while tests using the LSTM and GRU methods still produce large errors. Thus, it can be concluded that MLP can predict stock prices with more accurate results.

Published: July 2023

Abstract. In order to reduce the resistance and increase speed for
a high-speed wheeled amphibious vehicle, a wheel-retracting mechanism was
applied to a walking mechanism and the influence was researched. Firstly, to
obtain a reliable numerical method, a realizable shear stress transport (SST) k-ω turbulence
model and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model built by an overset mesh technique was used and compared
with the corresponding model tests. Secondly, the effect of the wheels' flip
angle on resistance, heave and pitch was investigated. Then, the wheel well
was optimized by numerical simulation. Finally, the results showed that the
influence of the wheels on resistance was more significant, and the larger
the wheels' flip angle was, the more significant the resistance reduction
would be. An optimized wheel well was beneficial to resistance reduction.
Furthermore, the running attitude became steadier, thereby decreasing the
heave and pitch.

Population-based affective-disorder-related biomedical/biophysical multi-hyper-morbidity across the lifespan: A 16-year population study
Authors: Cawthorpe David R L , Cohen Dan
Published: July 2023

A condition of exposure to multiple stressors resulting in a mixed clinical picture spanning conventional categories without meeting any of them in full, encompasses a risk for a list of comorbidities preventing appropriate prevention and treatment. New transformative transdiagnostic approaches suggest changes spanning conventional categories. They base their systems of classification on biomarkers as well as on brain structural and functional dysregulation as associated with behavioral and emotional symptoms. These new approaches received critiques for not being specific enough and for suggesting a few biomarkers for psychopathology as a whole. Therefore, they put the value of differential diagnosis at risk of avoiding appropriate derived prevention and treatment. Multiplicity of stressors has been considered mostly during and following catastrophes, without considering the resulting mixed clinical picture and life event concomitant stressors. We herewith suggest a new category within the conventional classification systems: The Complex Stress Reaction Syndrome, for a condition of multiplicity of stressors, which showed a mixed clinical picture for daily life in the post coronavirus disease 2019 era, in the general population. We argue that this condition may be relevant to daily, regular life, across the lifespan, and beyond conditions of catastrophes. We further argue that this condition may worsen without professional care and it may develop into a severe mental health disorder, more costly to health systems and the suffering individuals. Means for derived prevention and treatment are discussed.

Published: July 2023

Macroalgae is one of the natural resources present in Indonesian coastline areas – specifically in Dato Beach, Majene, South Sulawesi. The abundance of macroalgae found in Dato Beach can be utilized in various sectors – including health, cosmetics, and food. The aim of this study was to investigate the secondary metabolites of three types of macroalgae in Dato Beach and their potential to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in food. The three macroalgae utilized in this study were Turbinaria decurrens (brown algae), Galaxaura rugosa (red algae), and Halimeda opuntia (green algae) representing the three groups of macroalgae based on their dominant pigments. Four types of pathogenic bacteria – namely, Staphyloccus aureus and Bacillus cereus as Gram-positive bacteria plus Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli as Gram-negative bacteria – were collected from the Biology Laboratory at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, as these bacteria are commonly responsible for food spoilage. The study began with a sampling of macroalgae, followed by cleaning and drying, and subsequently extraction using methanol as the solvent. Methanol was chosen as the universal solvent for its ability to extract both polar and nonpolar components. Phytochemical screening was carried out to test for the presence of flavonoids, steroids/terpenoids, and alkaloids, which represent the three groups of secondary metabolites. The antimicrobial test was carried out using the well diffusion method, as a control used 80 ppm of ampicillin. The results of the study indicated that T. decurrens contains flavonoids, steroids, and alkaloids, G. rugosa contains flavonoids, terpenoids, and alkaloids, whereas H. opuntia only contains terpenoids and alkaloids. Furthermore, G. rugosa was found to have the best ability to inhibit bacteria, with an inhibition zone ranging from 22–23 mm; in some treatments, the diameter of the inhibition zone was even larger than the positive control. T. decurrens was only effective in inhibiting the growth of S. aureus, whereas H. opuntia demonstrated the potential to inhibit the growth of S. aureus and E. coli, and for B. cereus and S. typhi, it could only be inhibited by 100% (1000 μL) extract of the H. opuntia extract.

Published: July 2023

Flexible triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) with multifunctional sensing capabilities offer an elegant solution to address the growing energy supply challenges for wearable smart electronics. Herein, a highly stretchable and durable electrode for wearable TENG is developed using ZIF‐8 as a reinforcing nanofiller in a hydrogel with LiCl electrolyte. ZIF‐8 nanocrystals improve the hydrogel's mechanical properties by forming hydrogen bonds with copolymer chains, resulting in 2.7 times greater stretchability than pure hydrogel. The hydrogel electrode is encapsulated by microstructured silicone layers that act as triboelectric materials and prevent water loss from the hydrogel. Optimized ZIF‐8‐based hydrogel electrodes enhance the output performance of TENG through the dynamic balance of electric double layers (EDLs) during contact electrification. Thus, the as‐fabricated TENG delivers an excellent power density of 3.47 Wm–2, which is 3.2 times higher than pure hydrogel‐based TENG. The developed TENG can scavenge biomechanical energy even at subzero temperatures to power small electronics and serve as excellent self‐powered pressure sensors for human‐machine interfaces (HMIs). The nanocomposite hydrogel‐based TENG can also function as a wearable biomotion sensor, detecting body movements with high sensitivity. This study demonstrates the significant potential of utilizing ZIF‐8 reinforced hydrogel as an electrode for wearable TENGs in energy harvesting and sensor technology.

Polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) foam as one of next‐generation polymer foam materials shows poor surface adhesion and limited functionality, which greatly restricts its potential applications. Fabrication of advanced PDMS foam materials with multiple functionalities remains a critical challenge. In this study, unprecedented self‐adhesive PDMS foam materials are reported with worm‐like rough structure and reactive groups for fabricating multifunctional PDMS foam nanocomposites decorated with MXene/cellulose nanofiber (MXene/CNF) interconnected network by a facile silicone foaming and dip‐coating strategy followed by silane surface modification. Interestingly, such self‐adhesive PDMS foam produces strong interfacial adhesion with the hybrid MXene/CNF nano‐coatings. Consequently, the optimized PDMS foam nanocomposites have excellent surface super‐hydrophobicity (water contact angle of ≈159o), tunable electrical conductivity (from 10−8 to 10 S m−1), stable compressive cyclic reliability in both wide‐temperature range (from −20 to 200 oC) and complex environments (acid, sodium, and alkali conditions), outstanding flame resistance (LOI value of >27% and low smoke production rate), good thermal insulating performance and reliable strain sensing in various stress modes and complex environmental conditions. It provides a new route for the rational design and development of advanced PDMS foam nanocomposites with versatile multifunctionalities for various promising applications such as intelligent healthcare monitoring and fire‐safe thermal insulation.
Supporting inclusivity in STEM makerspaces through critical theory: A systematic review
Authors: Andrews Madison E. , Boklage Audrey
Published: July 2023

Background

Makerspaces have increased in popularity recently and hold many promises for STEM education. However, they may also fall prey to hegemonic, marginalizing norms and ultimately narrow the definition of making and exclude who counts as makers. Explicitly focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion when examining makerspaces is of utmost urgency and importance for STEM education researchers; one way to foreground equity is through theoretical frameworks that critically examine the structure, environment, participation, and pedagogy within STEM makerspaces.

Purpose

Thus, we investigate the following: (1) what are the theoretical frameworks applied and (2) how, if at all, is equity addressed in research exploring STEM makerspaces? In synthesizing prior work, we aim to provide recommendations for using theoretical frameworks in supporting inclusivity in STEM makerspaces.

Scope/Method

We conducted a systematic review of articles that examine a STEM makerspace, apply a theoretical framework, and consider diversity, equity, and/or inclusion. We identified n = 34 relevant studies and coded each for basic characteristics.

Results

We highlight 10 exemplars that use critical theoretical frameworks as a way to foreground equity in the research design. The authors of these exemplar studies are reflective throughout their research processes and position themselves as learning in tandem with their participants. Further, they take active steps to transfer agency and power to their participants, and in doing so, lift forms of knowing not widely valued in STEM spaces.

Conclusions

We conclude with recommendations for educators, makerspace staff, and researchers relevant to expanding dominant conceptions of what counts as making and thereby, supporting inclusivity in STEM makerspaces.
Self‐Assembly Nanochaperone with Tunable Hydrophilic–Hydrophobic Surface for Controlled Protein Refolding
Authors: Zhao Shuyue , Song Yiqing , Xu Linlin , Hu Haodong , Wang Jianzu , Huang Fan , Shi Linqi
Published: July 2023

Nanochaperones (nChaps) have significant potential to inhibit protein aggregation and assist in protein refolding. The interaction between nChaps and proteins plays an important role in nChaps performing chaperone‐like functions, but the interaction mechanism remains elusive. In this work, a series of nChaps with tunable hydrophilic–hydrophobic surfaces are prepared, and the process of nChaps‐assisted denatured protein refolding is systematically explored. It is found that an appropriate hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance on the nChap surface is critical for enhancing protein renaturation. This is because only the optimal interaction between nChap and protein can simultaneously guarantee the suitable capture and sufficient release of client proteins. The findings in this work will provide an effective reference for the design of nChaps and contribute to the development of the potential of nChaps in the future.

We applaud De Neys for drawing attention to the interaction between intuiting and deliberating without committing to single- or dual process models. It remains unclear, however, how he conceptualizes the distinction between intuiting and deliberating. We propose several levels at which the distinction can be made and discuss the merits of defining intuiting and deliberating as different types of behavior.
The Dynamics of Production Agriculture
Authors: Gottlieb Paul D. , Hira Anil , Westney D. Eleanor
Published: July 2023

This chapter examines how the shifting interactions of four key factors (the natural environment, technology, regulation and institutions, and demand) shaped industry dynamics in agriculture over the past six centuries. The first era (1500–1800) was dominated by the transfer of numerous plant and animal species between Europe and the New World. The second (1800–1945) saw the emergence of an institutional infrastructure of support for agriculture that extended into a third era (1945–2020) of unprecedented increases in agricultural productivity anchored by technological innovation. Agriculture’s production of the basic necessities of human life and well-being, combined with the relatively small scale and large numbers of individual operations, led to governments and peer-to-peer organizations playing distinctively large roles in this industry.
Music’s Attunement
Authors: Wallrup Erik
Published: July 2023

This chapter explores the notion of attunement in correlation with Stimmung, mood, and atmosphere through the understanding of phenomenology. It starts with Edmund Husserl’s lectures on inner time consciousness through music and Martin Heidegger’s philosophy of Stimmung and its early reception in the field of music. Philosopher Joseph Kockelmans, musicologist Karol Berger, and English philosopher Andrew Bowie understood the concept of Stimmung, also comprehended as mood, within the field of music. Thus, researchers used a whole series of concepts closely related to the idea of attunement in the analysis of contemporary culture and art. The chapter then notes the emergence of atmosphere, referencing how new phenomenology and its associated aesthetics comprehended that emotions are atmospheres poured out spatially.
Women in the UK construction industry: are we still clinging to the “old boys club”?
Authors: Suresh Subashini , Renukappa Suresh , Stride Mark , Nicola Toor Rachel , Khan Asiha
Published: July 2023

Purpose

The construction industry is famous for gender imbalance and reluctance in initiating change. In recent years, construction is becoming an attractive career choice for women. However, this change has been gradual. The purpose of this research was to understand the challenges women are facing in construction sector after a decade of implementation of the Equality Act 2010 in the UK and how women in the sector feel the industry could be further improved. This research investigated real-life experiences to identify where the industry needs to make viable improvements.

Design/methodology/approach

A qualitative research methodology was adopted. In total, 31 semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data, which was then analysed using content analysis for inference and conclusion.

Findings

This research revealed that women still experience adversity forcing them to work harder than usual to prove their belonging in construction sector. The “man’s world” culture is still widespread. However, women have seen improvements over recent years but believe more can be done from an intersectionality perspective. This is pertinent due to the Brexit and Covid-19 situation.

Originality/value

The study contributes to the field of equality and diversity in the construction sector. Women believe that factors such as bespoke initiatives, equal pay, flexible working hours (considering childcare and caring responsibilities), mental health and well-being support, and equality and diversity policies will enable the construction sector to create conducive environment for women now and in the future.

The purpose of this study is to identify some of the opportunities and issues that may arise for records management professionals, case workers and citizens.

Design/methodology/approach

The concept of administrative burdens and how user-oriented design can reduce or increase them is the main theoretical focus. A series of five interviews with records management professionals from five municipalities and three with IT staff members from two larger state institutions served as the primary source for this qualitative case study in conjunction with a literature review. The interviews were conducted in a semistructured format with a general interview guide.

Findings

Smaller municipalities lack the resources of larger state institutions, and they do not involve users in the same extent, even though their records management professionals strive for user-orientation. The work with directly involving users appears to vary in larger institutions, where resources must still be properly prioritized. Reducing administrative burdens is vital for user-oriented design, but digitizing services often increases them, so service delivery must consider the benefits of local, in-person guidance in relation to wholly digital services.

Originality/value

While much research has been conducted in Norway on digitalization, little has been done to examine the implications for records management work or the public’s use of records. By identifying some key concerns, this paper hopes to serve as a springboard for further research in these areas.

Aim

We aimed to gain insights into current nutritional management practices of late preterm infants (34–36 weeks gestational age) in Nigeria.

Methods

Purposive sampling was employed to recruit 19 healthcare professionals (neonatologists, paediatricians, general practitioners and nurses) involved in the care and nutritional management of late preterm infants in Lagos and Ogun states, Nigeria. Data were collected using interviews, either individually or in small focus groups, between 15 August and 6 September 2022. Thematic analysis of interview transcripts was carried out to interpret the data.

Results

Ten distinct themes emerged across the research questions and objectives. For growth monitoring, 11, 6, 1 and 1 of our participants preferred to use the 2006 WHO growth standards, Fenton preterm growth chart, Ballard score and Intergrowth‐21, respectively. Regarding the growth velocity of late preterm infants, most healthcare professionals aimed for 15 g/kg BW/day or more during hospitalisation. Breastmilk was unanimously the primary feeding option for late preterm infants. Most healthcare professionals preferred to use international guidelines over local guidelines.

Conclusion

Our study shows that there is a wide divergence in the nutritional guidelines used in managing late preterm infants in Nigeria. Regarding growth monitoring, healthcare professionals tended to aim for a growth velocity higher than necessary for late preterm infants, which may be disadvantageous for their long‐term health.

The LA–ICP–MS U–Pb age was determined for the first time for zircon from granodiorites–granites of the Sardara (Sarykty) intrusive in area of the giant Muruntau gold deposit in Western Tien Shan (Uzbekistan). Three crystal groups were identified in a combined sample: their concordant U–Pb age is 322.0 ± 3.7 (four grains), 301.6 ± 2.1 (11 grains), and 289.5 ± 4.9 Ma (two grains) (MSWD = 3.1, 0.17, and 0.98, respectively). The dispersion of the isotopic age can be explained using a model of a successive crystallization of different zircon generations in magmatic chambers at various depths and their further entrapment upon differentiation/crystallization of new magma portions. The similarity of two (youngest) age intervals with concordant U–Pb ages previously published for zircons of granitoid rocks directly at the Muruntau deposit is noteworthy. The latter ages could thus represent dike branching at the corresponding stages of evolution (progressive differentiation) of deeper sources of granitoid magma, the larger intrusions of which include Sardara (Sarykty) and other plutons exposed at some distance from the deposit. The older U–Pb isotopic ages of zircons from granitoids of the Sardara (Sarykty) pluton (~322 and 302 Ma) generally correspond to the subduction stage, whereas the youngest zircons (~289.5 Ma) correspond to the postcollision stage of the region. The origination and initial evolution of the magmatic sources in area of the Muruntau deposit could thus occur under subduction conditions; however, the final differentiation and crystallization of granitoid magma has finished at the postcollision stage.

Birds, especially wild waterfowl and migratory birds have the potential to carry antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, but their role in the dissemination of these resistant pathogens is still neglected in Bangladesh. To the best of our knowledge, this study was carried out for the first time in Bangladesh to isolate and determine the occurrence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Shigella spp. from fecal materials of wild waterfowl and migratory birds. A total of 80 fecal materials from wild waterfowl (n = 50) and migratory birds (n = 30) were screened to detect MDR Shigella isolates. Shigella spp. were isolated and identified by culturing, staining, and biochemical tests followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A disk diffusion assay was employed to investigate antibiotic phenotypes, while the resistance genes were detected by PCR. Among the 80 samples, 15 (18.75%) were found positive for Shigella spp. by PCR, among which the occurrence rate of Shigella spp. was higher in migratory birds (20%, 6/30) than in wild waterfowl (18%, 9/50). By the disk diffusion test, 86.67% (13/15) of Shigella spp. isolates were found to be MDR in nature, including 93.33% of isolates resistant to imipenem. Moreover, frequent and moderate resistance was also observed against tetracycline (86.67%), azithromycin (80%), ampicillin (66.67%), ciprofloxacin and cotrimoxazole (40%), meropenem (26.67%), and streptomycin (13.33%). The bivariate analysis revealed a positive correlation between the resistance profiles of ciprofloxacin and cotrimoxazole, imipenem and tetracycline, tetracycline and ampicillin, and imipenem and azithromycin. Furthermore, the isolates had a multiple antibiotic resistance index of up to 0.47. Antibiotic resistance genes tetA and SHV were found in 69.23% and 50% of relevant antibiotic‐resistant Shigella spp. isolates, respectively. The present study suggests that wild waterfowl and migratory birds are reservoirs of MDR Shigella spp., which may have detrimental impacts on One Health components. We suggest keeping these birds under an AMR monitoring program to avoid the possibility of AMR contamination of the environment and its consequences in all health settings.

Background

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) is a risk factor for developing pulmonary diseases and the worsening of ongoing disease. Mitochondrial fission and fusion are essential processes underlying mitochondrial homeostasis in health and disease. We examined the role of mitochondrial fission and fusion in PM2.5-induced alveolar epithelial cell damage and lung injury. Key genes in these processes include dystrophin-related protein 1 (DRP1) and optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) respectively.

Methods

Alveolar epithelial (A549) cells were treated with PM2.5 (32 µg/ml) in the presence and absence of Mdivi-1 (10µM, a DRP1 inhibitor) or BGP-15 (10µM, an OPA1 activator). Results were validated using DRP1-knockdown (KD) and OPA1-overexpression (OE). Mice were injected intraperitoneally with Mdivi-1 (20 mg/kg), BGP-15 (20 mg/kg) or distilled water (control) one hour before intranasal instillation of PM2.5 (7.8 mg/kg) or distilled water for two consecutive days.

Results

PM2.5 exposure of A549 cells caused oxidative stress, enhanced inflammation, necroptosis, mitophagy and mitochondrial dysfunction indicated by abnormal mitochondrial morphology, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), reduced mitochondrial respiration and disrupted mitochondrial fission and fusion. Regulating mitochondrial fission and fusion pharmacologically using Mdivi-1 and BGP-15 and genetically using DRP1-KD and OPA1-OE prevented PM2.5-induced celluar damage in A549 cells. Mdivi-1 and BGP-15 attenuated PM2.5-induced acute lung injury in mice.

Conclusion

Increased mitochondrial fission and decreased mitochondrial fusion may underlie PM2.5-induced alveolar epithelial cell damage in vitro and lung injury in vivo.

Published: July 2023

The general objective of this research article is to determine the critical aspects of the legal and evidentiary configuration of the document by data message within the Colombian legal dogma and practice. For this purpose, a qualitative, descriptive and propositive approach methodology was used, of documentary design, which used systematization cards and bibliographic, legal and jurisprudential analysis under a systematic and teleological hermeneutic reading of the norm. This determined three (3) specific objectives: to study the means of documentary evidence, to describe the legal configuration of data messages and to detail the evidentiary iter of documentary evidence by data message. This made it possible to raise five (5) criticisms based on its technological neutrality, functional equivalence, the treatment of data message printouts and its use as evidence (mere or serious) and as judicial inspection. Thus concluding that the Colombian legal dogmatics and practice incur in legal errors in the legal configuration and the evidential production of the mentioned electronic evidence.

Published: July 2023

This article deals with the understanding of the meanings attributed to motherhood and upbringing in Colombian women who are members of virtual tribes that support mothers. A qualitative investigation was carried out in a Colombian group on Facebook and two on WhatsApp using the grounded theory. The problematic visions stand out, around the theme, in which they question the lack of social and intimate partner support, in contrast to the high demands on the part of different actors, in addition, the intention of the participants to resignify these experiences. Motherhood is discussed as a social and political issue, as well, in the face of the revaluation of the care economy and the empowerment of women.
