Mediating Mundane Life
Authors: Alexander Bronte 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The recent and ongoing exodus of Venezuelans to the surrounding Latin American region has sparked international humanitarian intervention. Drawing on research conducted in Brazil in late 2019, this article focuses on the state-led humanitarian response to Venezuelan migration and its collaborative efforts with the military and leading organizations. Looking at two sites of institutional care, I argue that temporal structures created by military-humanitarian agencies work to govern the everyday mobilities of urban migrants living without shelter, who are often framed as criminals or threats within neoliberal securitization narratives. This article further reveals conflicting temporalities with regard to the practice of waiting, whereby the act is viewed as risky when visible in urban public spaces but favored in institutional settings where it can be closely monitored.
Model Settlers, Model Laborers, and the Limits of the Anti-Slavery Colonial Imagination
Authors: Adderley Laura Rosanne 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
After the passage of the British law abolishing the slave trade in 1807, Great Britain devoted 60 years to attempting to suppress slave trading from the African continent. One major consequence of this campaign against the slave trade was the rescue of over 500,000 Africans from illegally operating slave ships. During the first two decades after 1807, Great Britain brought approximately five thousand such Africans into British Caribbean colonies. This article explores the earliest British policies related to this population, in conversation with more recent discussions of refugee management, and the impact of European colonial histories on professedly humanitarian projects.
Tame the Name
Authors: Heidari Amin 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article examines two mechanisms in treating Persian names in English-speaking contexts: name projection and name adoption. The article adopts Edward Said's Orientalism, noting Western-centric naming and colonial division with Western superiority. The treatment of the Oriental name will be discussed within the frame of linguistic Orientalism which refers to the portrayal or study of Eastern languages and cultures through the lens of Western superiority or exoticisation. Previously, this mindset projected the coloniser's preferred names onto the territory and individuals of the Other. Today, the name of the Other is governed as the subjects from different backgrounds are propelled to conform to the coloniser's preferences in choosing Anglo-sounding names. I will conclude that the shift from the authoritative name projection to the disciplinary name adoption manifests a Foucauldian trajectory from ‘sovereign power’ to modern ‘disciplinary power’ in taming the name of the Other.

Authors: Okpoti Maxwell Mensah , Peprah Williams Kwasi 
Published: October 2024

This study explores the mediating effect of financial literacy on the relationship between blockchain technology application and financial risk among financial institution professionals in Ghana. Utilizing a correlational research design, data were collected from a sample of 336 professionals through a self-constructed Likert-scale questionnaire. The analysis was conducted using path analysis and mediation techniques. The findings reveal that financial literacy had a significant partial mediating effect between blockchain technology application and financial risk, accounting for 26.0% of the total effect. The direct negative effect of blockchain technology applications on financial risk also remained significant, highlighting the independent contribution of blockchain technology applications to reducing financial risk. These results underscore the importance of financial literacy in enhancing the effectiveness of blockchain technology applications in mitigating financial risks. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive financial literacy programs to maximize the benefits of technological advancements in the financial sector. Empirical evidence from related literature supports the findings, indicating that higher financial literacy enables better utilization of blockchain technology applications, thereby reducing financial risk. The research provides insights for policymakers aiming to improve financial literacy and leverage blockchain technology applications for financial risk management.
Cultural Transformation and the Evolution of Festivals: The Impact of Modernization on the K’Ho Ethnic Minority in Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Thuy Nhu Thi , Nguyen Quyet Thi 
Published: October 2024

This paper investigates the cultural transformations of the K’Ho ethnic minority in Lam Dong Province, Vietnam, with a focus on the impact of modernization and external influences on traditional festivals such as the New Rice Celebration, Buffalo Stabbing, and Gong Festivals. Applying social change theories, including conflict theory, global social change and syncretism, evolutionary theory, and acculturation theory, the study explores how these dynamics shape cultural practices within the K’Ho community. The research employs a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, integrating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to collect and analyze data simultaneously to provide a comprehensive understanding of the socio-economic factors driving these cultural shifts. The findings reveal a significant decline in participation in traditional K’Ho festivals, influenced by factors such as urbanization, the transformation of local economic models, and socio-demographic changes. Additionally, the research highlights the critical role of Vietnamese government policies in both the preservation and adaptation of cultural practices. The study concludes with recommendations for targeted policies to support cultural preservation, emphasizing the importance of education, government intervention, and tourism integration to maintain the cultural identity of the K’Ho people in the face of modernization.
Public Spaces are Failing Girls and Women
Authors: Anneroth Emelie , Ferlander Sara , Jukkala Tanya 
Published: October 2024

Public spaces are often failing girls and women, with male dominance and a lack of representation being prevalent issues. The 2030 Agenda emphasises the need for safe and accessible public spaces for women, children and other disadvantaged or marginalised groups. Nevertheless, women and girls tend to be neglected in the development of urban areas, and their specific needs and risks are not fully considered. Hence, there is a need for feminist urban planning. Feminist planning aims to understand, challenge, and change power relations in public spaces, by involving the experiences, needs, and desires of marginalised groups in the planning process in order to create more equal cities. This approach recognises the individual and collective power that women and other disadvantaged groups already possess. Social innovation is an innovative practice for meeting social needs and shares a common goal with feminist planning of promoting social change and increasing power for disadvantaged groups. However, whereas feminist urban planning – and urban planning in general – tend to end when a project has been planned and executed, social innovation has a stronger and more explicit focus on results or impact of the process or project. This is an aspect where feminist planning can learn from social innovation. By addressing the specific needs of marginalised groups and focusing on results and actual change, feminist planning can contribute to positive social change and empower women and girls in urban development processes. This viewpoint argues that feminist planning can learn from the focus of social innovation on results (i.e. output, outcome and impact of the planning), which has the potential to change planning practices and challenge gendered social norms in order to create more equal, just and socially sustainable public spaces and cities.
Simulasi Gerak Partikel Bermuatan dalam Medan Magnet Menggunakan Metode Euler dan JavaScript P5.js untuk Game Edukasi Berbasis Web
Authors: Saputra Casmika , Salam Rahmat Awaludin , Akhmadi  
Published: October 2024

Penelitian ini menginvestigasi gerak partikel bermuatan dalam medan magnet melalui pendekatan numerik menggunakan metode Euler, serta implementasinya dalam simulasi berbasis web untuk tujuan edukasi. Penelitian sebelumnya telah menunjukkan bahwa pelajar mengalami kesulitan memahami konsep ini karena bersifat abstrak dan tidak intuitif secara visual. Dibandingkan metode lain seperti Runge-Kutta, metode Euler dipilih karena kalkulasinya yang lebih sederhana. Partikel bermuatan yang bergerak dalam medan magnet mengalami gaya Lorentz yang menyebabkan lintasan melingkar. Simulasi dikembangkan menggunakan pustaka P5.js, memungkinkan visualisasi dinamis gerak partikel. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa kesalahan integrasi meningkat dengan langkah waktu yang lebih besar, tetapi dapat diminimalkan dengan langkah yang lebih kecil. Pemilihan langkah waktu yang tepat diperlukan untuk menjaga akurasi visualisasi agar tidak terjadi kesalahan interpretasi. Integrasi simulasi ke dalam game edukasi berbasis web menunjukkan potensi sebagai alat bantu interaktif untuk pemahaman lebih mendalam tentang medan magnet dan gaya Lorentz.

Published: October 2024

Flexible pressure sensors applied in wearable detection often face challenges, such as low sensitivity, large device size, poor flexibility, and long response time. This study aims to design and develop high-performance pressure-sensitive materials for wearable human detection applications. Using a sensitive layer composite and microstructural design, rGO/Fe nanowires (NWs) composites were proposed as the pressure-sensitive material. This approach yields a compact sensor with high flexibility, good mechanical properties, and excellent sensing performance. Firstly, rGO/Fe NWs composites were prepared by the Hummers method and an in situ reduction technique under a magnetic field. Secondly, the structural design, component construction, and sensing mechanism of the sensors were thoroughly investigated. Finally, the performance of the flexible pressure sensor was tested, and its application in the wearable field was explored. The results demonstrate that the sensor exhibits excellent performance with a good response to both large and small pressures within the range of 0–30 kPa, providing an effective method for wearable human health detection.
Genome-wide identification and analysis of the HD-Zip transcription factor family in oats
Authors: Xu Yiqun , Liu Changlai 
Published: October 2024

IntroductionHD-Zip transcription factors are an important class of plant transcription factors involved in regulating plant growth and development as well as various stress responses. In order to explore the characteristics of oat HD-Zip transcription factors and their transcriptomic expression patterns under abiotic stress, this study identified members of the HD-Zip gene family in the oat genome through bioinformatics methods and analyzed their basic physicochemical properties, evolutionary relationships, conserved structural domains, gene duplication relationships, and expression profiles.Results74 HD-Zip gene sequences were identified in the oat genome, unevenly distributed in all chromosomes except the 4D chromosome. The 74 HD-Zip genes can be divided into four subfamilies (HD-Zip Ⅰ-Ⅳ), containing 30 (HD-Zip Ⅰ), 38 (HD-Zip Ⅱ), 4 (HD-Zip III), and 2 (HD-Zip IV) genes, respectively. The grouping of this study is completely consistent with the clustering results of family members in the oat HD-Zip gene phylogenetic tree, further supporting the reliability of the sequence grouping. In addition, there are significant differences in conserved motifs and gene lengths between subfamilies, but they are conserved within the same subfamily. Under drought and salt stress, the expression levels of a large number of oat HD-Zip genes were significantly induced or suppressed, indicating that these HD-Zip genes are likely to be involved in regulating the oat’s response to adversity.ConclusionsThe results of this study provide excellent candidate HD-Zip genes for the study of oat resistance, and provide a reference for oat gene improvement and genetic breeding.

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the characteristics of individuals with amyloid levels below the threshold. To achieve this, we differentiated between two groups: those with global amyloid negativity but focal deposition [G(–)F(+)] and those without focal deposition [G(–)F(–)].Materials and methodsA total of 2,677 participants were diagnosed with cognitive unimpairment (CU) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). MRI-based regional centiloid (CL) values were used to establish threshold values for each brain region. After applying a cutoff of 20 rdcCL to identify amyloid positivity, participants who were globally amyloid-negative were grouped into three categories: those who showed focal amyloid uptake [G(–)F(+)], individuals without focal amyloid deposition but with relatively high CL(HC) levels comparable to those in the focal uptake group [G(–)F(–) HC)], and those with relatively low CL(LC) levels [G(–)F(–) LC]. We compared the neuropsychological test results and brain structural changes between these groups using ANCOVA.ResultsThe G(–)F(+) group demonstrated a lower cortical thickness (P &lt; 0.001) than the G(–)F(–) HC group. In neuropsychological tests, the G(–)F(+) group exhibited lower the Seoul Verbal Learning Test delayed recall (SVLT-DR) and Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), and showed progressed clinical status in the clinical dementia rating–sum of boxes (CDR-SOB) compared to the G(–)F(–) HC group (P &lt; 0.001). The subsequent sensitivity analyses confirmed the persistence of these findings.ConclusionsIndividuals with focal amyloid deposition [G(–)F(+)] exhibited higher rates of cognitive impairment compared to patients with similar levels of amyloid, underscoring the importance of monitoring the progression of focal uptake, even when it remains below the amyloid threshold.
Quality of life of patients with neurofibromatosis 1—Physical disability does not necessarily result in poor mental health

Published: October 2024

IntroductionNeurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a chronic neurocutaneous disease known to profoundly affect quality of life (QoL). We have performed an analysis of disease severity, mental and physical QoL and compare the different subclasses among patients with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1).Patients and methodsWe conducted a prospective analysis of 89 NF1 patients between January 2016 and March 2018. Data sourced from local records including demographic information, employment status, education level, and marital status. All patients completed 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and additionally the numerical pain rating scale (NPS). Patients were stratified based on severity of NF1, visibility and disease severity.ResultsAmong 89 patients, severity was classified as grade 4 was identified in 42 (47.2%), moderate in 17 (19.1%), mild in 23 (25.8%) and minimal in 7 (7.9%) cases. According to visibility scale, severe grade 3 was found in 28 (31.5%), moderate grade 2 in 26 (29.2%) and mild grade in 35 (39.3%) cases. SF-36 data, except for pain, showed significantly lower values, if compared to the standard German population (P &lt; 0.001, physical component summary P = 0.045). Sex, marital status and education level did not significantly influence results. Employment was significantly associated with better mental and physical status (P = 0.028 and P = 0.01 respectively) and age &gt;40 was linked to lower physical (P = 0.027) but not mental component scores (P = 0.362). The numerical pain rating scale indicated pain levels of 7–10 in 9 cases (10,1%), 5–6 in 10 patients (11.2%), 1–4 in 26 patients (29.2%) and no pain in 44 cases (49.4%). Physical component scores significantly differed across different NPS grades (P &lt; 0.001) but not in mental component scores (P = 0.06). Finally, no significant differences were found in mental component scores across severity or visibility grades.ConclusionSeverity and visibility grades of patients with NF1 may not necessarily result in poor mental health. Symptomatic treatment should be considered even for severely disabled patients as they may have comparable QoL to less severely affected patients with NF1. Employment was linked to better quality of life outcomes in our findings.

PurposeTo investigate the association between dietary vitamin D intake and low muscle mass (LMM) in a representative adult population, accounting for total energy intake and other potential confounders.Materials and methodsThis cross-sectional study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) involving 8,443 participants. Dietary vitamin D intake was assessed using 24-h dietary recalls, and LMM was defined based on appendicular lean mass (ALM) adjusted for body mass index (BMI). Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the association between quartiles of dietary vitamin D intake and the odds of LMM, adjusting for age, gender, race/ethnicity, BMI, total energy intake, and additional covariates.ResultsIn Model 1, after adjusting for age, gender, race/ethnicity, BMI, and poverty-to-income ratio, participants in the highest quartile of vitamin D intake had an odds ratio (OR) of 0.54 (95% CI: 0.37–0.79) compared to the lowest quartile, with a p for trend &lt;0.001. In Model 2, after further adjustment for total energy intake and several covariates, the association was attenuated but remained borderline significant (p for trend = 0.051). In Model 3, after adjusting for additional health-related factors, the OR for the highest quartile was 0.70 (95% CI: 0.47–1.05), with a significant p for trend of 0.029.ConclusionThis study suggests that higher dietary vitamin D intake may be associated with a reduced risk of LMM. Further longitudinal research is needed to confirm these findings and explore potential interactions between vitamin D and other dietary factors in muscle mass preservation.
