Authors: Pratama Adhitya Putra
Published: January 2025

Emotional development in children is an important aspect in the growth and development process that can affect children's behavior and social interactions. However, many children experience difficulties in controlling their emotions, which can be seen in tantrums, anger, and aggression. Audiolyfe stimulation, as an innovative approach, offers the potential to improve children's emotion control ability. This study aims to explore the effect of audiolyfe stimulation on children's emotion control ability, as well as to understand the mechanisms underlying these behavioral changes. The method used in this study was quantitative with a quasi-experimental approach. Data is collected through observation and questionnaires. The data obtained will be analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that audiolyfe stimulation has an effect on children's emotional control abilities including tantrum behavior, anger, and aggression. Children who were given this stimulation showed a marked decrease in the frequency and intensity of tantrums, as well as a better ability to control anger and reduce aggressive behavior. These changes were more pronounced in the group of children who received Audiolyfe stimulation. This confirms that auditive stimulation such as Audiolyfe can be an effective method in helping children better manage their emotions.

Why some organic molecules have a color: Correlating optical absorption wavelength with conjugated bond chain length
Authors: Monat Jeremy
Published: January 2025

Molecules have a color if their electronic energy levels are close enough to absorb visible rather than ultraviolet light. For organic molecules, that’s often because of an extensive chain of conjugated bonds. Can we use cheminformatics to find evidence that increasing conjugated bond chain length decreases absorption wavelength, which makes a molecule colored?

Roosting behaviour of House Sparrows, Passer domesticus at Kerala Veterinary & Animal Sciences University campus in Wayanad, Kerala, India
Authors: Divin Venu , Roshnath Ramesh
Published: January 2025

Due to their common urban status and suspected decline, house sparrows are garnering attention worldwide . Ecological studies, particularly those about roosting behaviour, are scarce compared to the abundance of population studies on this species . We studied the flock of sparrows that roost at the Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University campus in Wayanad, Kerala, India, with a focus on the environmental factors that affect roosting behaviour . House Sparrows were found to roost in three different flocks on campus . While seasonal variations were noted within the sites, overall abundance did not differ between the sites . Sparrows were found to choose different species of roosting trees and when disturbed, they have been observed to change their roosting locations . It was found that house sparrows gathered at 4:02 PM, pre-roosting at 4:48 PM, and roosting at 5:56 PM . The chirping ceased at 6:08 PM . Environmental variables are known to affect roosting behaviour in sparrows . While light intensity, temperature, and sunset time all had an impact on pre-roosting and roosting behaviour, the assemblage was influenced by the latter . Changes in environmental variables may have an impact on their roosting pattern, which could then have an impact on their fitness in future.

Authors: Czechowski Paweł
Published: January 2025

In Poland, wintering Reed Buntings Emberiza schoeniclus have been recorded in all provinces, and are considered common in the west of the country . It is believed that the main Reed bunting wintering habitats in Western Europe (including Poland) are weedy f ields and stubble, less often other habitats . In national faunal monographs, wintering Reed buntings are recorded in a variety of habitats, among which are listed: agricultural landscapes (fields, stubble fields, fallow land), river valleys, various water bodies (lakes, f ish ponds), rubbish-damps, orchards, bogs . The aim of the study is to characterize winter observations of Reed Buntings in Lubuskie Voivodeship, in the context of hab itats and size of bird concentrations . The paper uses 146 observations of Reed Buntings collected in Lubuskie Voivodeship during spontaneous ornithological observations carried out in 1996-2024 . A total of 654 individuals of Reed Buntings were recorded in 146 inspections . Most observations came from January (51 .4%), followed by December (35 .6%), and the least from February (13 .0%) . Reed Bunting observation sites were assigned to five habitat types (wasteland (weedy), grassland, ditch/trash, stubble fields and reeds) . The most common habitat was wasteland (weedy), with a total of 47 .3% . In this habitat, the Reed Buntings were observed most often in every winter month . T he size of the concentration of wintering Reed Buntings ranged from 1 to 50 individ uals (mean 4 .48, SD = 8 .49, N = 146) . Single birds were recorded most often – a total of 48 .6% of all observations . Groups of 2 to 10 individuals accounted for 41 .8%, and f locks of more than 10 birds accounted for 9 .6% of all observations . The environments in which wintering Reed Buntings were most often observed in Lubuskie Voivodeship and the abundance of bird groupings are similar to other regions of the country.
Investigation of Potential Diesel Alternatives for Great Lakes Bulk Carriers
Authors: Brown Connor P.
Published: January 2025

_

The decarbonization of the maritime industry is a problem where a clear and wide-sweeping solution has not yet been found. Suggested methods for immediate action have included route optimization and speed reduction. Although these proposals have the potential to reduce overall emissions, they will not lead to net zero emissions. Proposed solutions that require a greater investment but have the potential for net zero emissions are alternative fuels to diesel. Research into diesel alternatives, which has focused on ships making transoceanic voyages, has uncovered problems that make these alternatives an unsuitable replacement for diesel as of this writing. However, ships on the Great Lakes have a greater potential to successfully implement diesel alternatives based on the length of typical shipping routes and the size of the operational profile of the ship. This paper seeks to frame the problem of implementing diesel alternatives for Great Lakes bulk carriers from a supply chain and port perspective and provide suggestions on possible solutions to be further developed. Liquified natural gas, hydrogen, and biodiesel were considered. The results of this investigation show that these three alternatives are viable options for Great Lakes bulk carriers; however, each comes with a unique set of challenges. These challenges cannot be solved by one institution alone and only through extensive cooperation between all relevant stakeholders can the Great Lakes achieve decarbonization.

In this overview, we underscore the significance of conducting broadband electromagnetic measurements to study the initiation and progression of lightning discharges within thunderclouds. Using a newly developed shielded magnetic loop antenna sensitive to frequencies ranging from 5 kHz to 90 MHz we enhanced our understanding of the initial phase of negative cloud-to-ground lightning discharges. Through the integration of broadband recordings with data obtained from narrowband lightning mapping arrays, we have unveiled the origins of rarely occurring microsecond-scale pulse trains in electromagnetic recordings and provided a detailed description of behaviour of attempted lightning leaders. Our findings also demonstrate that lightning can serve as a valuable tool for investigating the thundercloud charge structure, particularly when electromagnetic data sets are complemented with meteorological radar measurements.

In this review paper, we summarize pieces of information on Jovian lightning, which have been derived from data collected by radio receivers onboard planetary missions, starting with Voyager 1. This mission first unveiled the existence of lightning in Jupiter's atmosphere. However, a significant leap in our understanding of Jovian lightning characteristics occurred with the Juno mission, which has been in orbit around Jupiter since 2016. Data collected by Juno revealed new types of lightning-related electromagnetic signals, including rapid whistlers, Jupiter dispersed pulses, and microwave sferics. These electromagnetic measurements also lead us to the discovery that the Jovian ionosphere contains regions with an exceptionally low plasma density. Based on the analysis conducted thus far, we can assert that lightning on Jupiter exhibits significant similarities to terrestrial lightning in terms of flash rates and stepwise processes occurring after lightning initiation.

Forecasting the road surface condition is a key forecast for road maintenance to take action in time when dangerous winter phenomena occur. The Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences in close cooperation with the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute have developed in several joint projects the forecast of road surface temperature and condition of Czech roads both in the form of point forecasts at the locations of road weather stations on the Czech road network and in the form of line forecasts of road surface temperature and condition of selected roads in Prague (ICEWARN system) and most of the Czech motorways (FROST system). The line forecasts use unique information about objects in the close vicinity of the motorway to calculate the potential shading of the road surface from the sun's rays. In the FROST system, for the first three hours, the time extrapolation of satellite cloud cover measurements is used instead of cloud cover forecasted by the ALADIN numerical weather prediction model. All outputs of these forecasts are operatively available at the central forecasting office of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute.

Published: January 2025

The protective abilities of four crystalline Zn (PZn), Zn-Ca (PZnCa), Zn-Ni (PZnNi) and Zn-Ni-Mn (PZnNiMn) phosphate coatings on carbon steel in a chloride-contaminated alkaline solution have been studied. The chemical composition and the morphology of the phosphate coating were evaluated by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques, while the corrosion and porosity parameters of samples were determined by electrochemical measurements. According to XRD analysis data all investigated coatings were composed of three phases: hopeite Zn3(PO4)2 · 4H2O, phospho­phyl­lite Zn2Fe(PO4)2 · 4H2O and the substrate metal Fe. The results of electrochemical measurements revealed that after immersion into a saturated Ca(OH)2 + 1 M NaCl solution for 1 h carbon steel samples covered with the phosphate coatings possessed from four- to seventeen-fold higher Rp values in comparison to those of bare steel samples. The porosity values obtained by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were in total agreement with the values evaluated by linear polarization measurements. To summarize the results of measurements, the low porosity medium weight PZnNiMn coating on carbon steel demonstrated effective protective properties in the chloride-contaminated alkaline solution.

Authors: Berneckė Simona , Maruška Audrius
Published: January 2025

In this work a new, accurate and reliable method, which has been applied to determine the quantitative and qualitative composition of free fatty acids in samples of laundry and toilet soap, is described. Silylation as a derivatization method for analysis of free fatty acids in soap samples by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, using ammonium sulfate as a catalyst, a low-cost silylating agent hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and chloroform as a solvent, was evaluated. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis was carried out using a DB-5 capillary column. The method was validated for linearity, precision and limits of detection and quantification. It was found that the validated method had an acceptable linearity with the determination coefficient >0.999 within the concentration range 0.005–2 mg/ml. The limits of detection and quantification were obtained from the regressive analysis and were 2.5 and 8 μg/ml, respectively. The validated method was applied for analysis of four samples of different quality soaps. The determined amount of free fatty acids in the soaps was ranging between 1.24 and 5.09%. This method can be applied to the analysis of the composition of free fatty acids in different soap samples.

Ethno-Linguistic Loyalty: The Paradox and Search for the Sustainability of Language in Nation-Building in Nigeria
Authors:   Department of English and Literary Studies, Akwa Ibom State University, Nigeria, Inegbe Miriam Stephen
Published: January 2025

The success or failure of any nation lies, to a great extent, in the collaborative capacity and the tone of language used for governance. This paper seeks to unveil ethno-linguistic loyalty and the paradox of language in maintaining sustainable development in Nigeria as a nation. It however draws parallels from other nations for clearer depth and illustrations. Language is a unifying force that binds a nation; it can also serve as a divisive element, creating cultural and linguistic schisms in a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual society like Nigeria. Drawing from the social psychology theory of social identity and the concept of linguistic fragmentation, this paper explores the role of identity formation in understanding ethnolinguistic loyalty and the paradox of language in nation-building. Social identity theory examines how people define themselves and perceive others based on group membership. At the same time, the concept of linguistic fragmentation argues that language can be a barrier to nation-building. When a nation is linguistically diverse, multiple languages spoken within its boundaries can create communication gaps and hinder effective governance. This framework is deemed proper for this study because it argues that extreme attachment to a people’s linguistic group and language can lead to discrimination and tensions among different linguistic groups, making it challenging for a nation to work together towards common goals. Through analysis of various happenings and instances in Nigeria and other parts of the world, this paper examines how language can impact nation-building and sustainable development. Furthermore, it discusses the challenges that arise from ethnolinguistic loyalty, incongruity, and lack of comprehension in dialogue, and makes recommendations for effectively managing and promoting linguistic diversity within a nation. Ultimately, by examining the challenges and opportunities posed by this phenomenon, this paper aims to explore strategies for ensuring the sustainability of Indigenous languages while fostering a unified Nigerian identity.

This paper explores fundamental problems and algorithms in the context of SuperHypergraphs, an advanced extension of hypergraphs enabling modeling of hierarchical and complex relationships. Topics covered include constructing SuperHyperGraphs, recognizing SuperHyperTrees, and computing SuperHyperTree-width. We address a range of optimization problems, such as the SuperHypergraph Partition Problem, Reachability, Minimum Spanning SuperHypertree, and Single- Source Shortest Path. Furthermore, adaptations of classical problems like the Traveling Salesman Problem, Chinese Postman Problem, and Longest Simple Path Problem are presented in the SuperHypergraph framework.
Short Communication of Big Plithogenic Science and Deep Plithogenic Science
Authors: Fujita Takaaki , Smarandache Florentin
Published: January 2025

Big Science refers to large-scale, well-funded collaborative research designed to refine established theories and produce significant experimental or observational data. In contrast, Deep Science emphasizes reexamining fundamental principles, exploring alternative frameworks, and proposing transformative theories to tackle core scientific challenges. The relationship between Big Science and Deep Science has been explored in earlier studies [49]. This paper provides a systematic re-evaluation of these concepts and investigates their extensions using the framework of plithogenic sets [46]—a mathematical concept, like Fuzzy Sets [54] and Neutrosophic Sets [44], designed to address uncertainty.

Published: January 2025

Low Back Pain (LBP) or commonly referred to Nyeri Punggung Bawah is a musculoskeletal disorder that is usually caused by poor body activity. LBP can also be caused by various musculoskeletal diseases, psychological disorders and improper mobilization. Another cause is physical factors, namely improper position while sitting, sleeping or standing for a long time can also cause LBP complaints. This research aims to study the relationship between prayer practices and muscle flexibility to understand its potential impact on LBP. The design used in this study is a literature review. In this study, we used databases such as Google Scholar with the keywords Low Back Pain, prayer movements, and literature review, Prayer movements consisting of certain postures such as standing, bowing, prostrating, and sitting, can contribute to muscle flexibility through balanced muscle performance. Proper execution of prayer postures, especially the act of bowing, can help maintan spinal alignment, improve blood circulation, and prevent spinal disorders, which can potentially affect LBP. Suggestions for this study can use a more varied database to get more literature from around the world. In addition, future studies can use research designs such as systematic review, cross-sectional, or other studies that can see the relationship between prayer movements and LBP.

Published: January 2025

A field experiment was conducted at the University of Uyo teaching and research farm, Uyo, Nigeria, during the 2020 and 2021 cropping season to evaluate the effect of timing of okra introduction in okra-ginger intercrop systems on the management of insect pests and the yield of okra. The experiment was arranged in a 3 x 2 split plot design arrangement of treatments, fitted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD), replicated three times. The timing of okra introduction (4, 6 & 8 weeks after planting ginger (WAP)) and intercropping systems (sole okra and okra-ginger intercrop) constituted the main plot and sub-plot respectively. Data were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and means were separated using LSD. Results of the study showed that generally, intercrop system of okra-ginger performed better than okra sole crop in suppressing insect pests of okra and enhancing okra yield. Furthermore, introducing okra at 4 WAP ginger significantly (P≤0.05) recorded highest in pest populations and also produced highest yield (30.01 & 36.01 t/ha for 2020 & 2021, respectively). However, introducing okra at 8 WAP ginger into okra-ginger intercrop system significantly (P≤0.05) recorded lowest in pest populations and also produced the lowest yield (20.27 & 24.33 t/ha for 2020 & 2021, respectively). Introducing okra 4 WAP ginger in okra-ginger intercropping system combined with targeted pest management strategies is recommended to balance yield and pest control on okra effectively.

Antibiotics are drugs that function to prevent and treat infections caused by bacteria. Antibiotics given to patients irrationally can cause resistance. Antibiotic resistance is a condition where the body becomes resistant to antibiotics. Inappropriate use of antibiotics is influenced by several factors, such as knowledge problems. One of the efforts in improving knowledge about the use of antibiotics is by providing information. Providing drug information is part of pharmaceutical services that include the selection, use, determination of drugs, and how to administer the right drugs. The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge of patients in the use of antibiotics before and after providing information and whether there is a significant influence between the provision of information on the level of knowledge. This study is descriptive with accidental sampling method using pretest and posttes design. The instrument used was a questionnaire, then the results were analyzed using chi square test analysis. In this study, the level of knowledge of respondents after being given information about the use of antibiotics at the highest percentage was in the less category (73.2%) and after being given information was in the good category (99.9%). There was no significant influence between the level of knowledge of respondents before and after giving information about antibiotics with a p value of 0.161.

The objective of this research is to study the formulation and evaluation of tablet preparations using the direct compression method. The method used in this research is a Systematic Literature Review. The findings of the study explain that the direct compression method is an efficient and economical technique in tablet production, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. With the advancement of technology, this method is increasingly used to produce tablets directly from a mixture of active ingredients and excipients without going through granulation processes, whether wet or dry. This process allows for time and cost savings in production, as well as reducing the use of machinery and labor. The main advantage of direct compression is its ability to produce tablets with better disintegration and dissolution times, especially for active ingredients sensitive to heat and moisture. The selection of the appropriate fillers and binders, such as modified starch, pregelatinized potato starch, and Avicel, significantly impacts the physical quality of the tablets, including hardness, friability, and flowability. Furthermore, the research results show that the correct formulation, both in terms of the composition of excipients and the concentration of binders, can improve the physical properties of the tablets and meet the desired quality standards. Therefore, while the direct compression method offers many advantages, it is important to continue exploring and optimizing formulations, both in terms of excipient selection and mixing ratios, to achieve tablets with the best quality that meet pharmaceutical needs and are accepted by consumers.
