Authors: Medvešek Mojca , Bešter Romana , Pirc Janez 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The civic and political participation of immigrants in the receiving country are important dimensions of the integration process. However, immigrants often encounter various barriers in accessing individual forms of participation, either due to legal barriers or due to informal opposition from the majority population. This article aims to examine the attitudes of the majority population towards the civic and political participation of immigrants in Slovenia and the factors influencing such attitudes. The survey on a representative sample of Slovene residents revealed predominantly negative attitudes of the majority population towards both civic and political participation of immigrants. Particularly notable is the opposition to granting immigrants active and passive voting rights. Relevant factors influencing such attitudes include gender, age, education, the type of settlement in which the respondents reside, and their ideological orientation.

Efficacy and safety of aromatase inhibitors in the management of idiopathic short stature: A meta-analysis
Authors: Dutta Deep , Agrawal Ritesh , Joshi Ameya , Sharma Meha 
Published: June 2024

Objectives:
Data are scant on the efficacy and safety of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) in idiopathic short stature (ISS). We undertook this meta-analysis to address this knowledge gap.

Material and Methods:
Electronic databases were searched for randomized control trials (RCTs) involving children with ISS receiving AIs compared to placebo/active comparator. The primary outcome was changes in predicted adult height (PAH). Secondary outcomes were alterations in bone age, puberty hormones, and side effects.

Results:
One-thousand three-hundred and eighty articles were reviewed, from which 4 RCTs which fulfilled all criteria were analyzed (one in the active control group [ACG] having growth hormone [GH] as an active comparator; three in the passive control group having placebo as controls). AIs were superior to placebo with regards to improvement in PAH (mean difference, MD 4.62 cm [95% confidence interval, CI: 4.02–5.23]; P < 0.01; I2 = 0%), bone-age progression (MD −0.61 years [95% CI: −0.87–−0.35]; P < 0.01; I2 = 0%) and height-standard deviation score improvement (MD 0.43 [95% CI: 0.33–0.53]; P < 0.01; I2 = 88%). No increased adverse events and spinal deformities were noted with AIs.

Conclusion:
AIs are safe and effective for improving height and pubertal outcomes in ISS. There remains scope for using AIs and GH together in ISS to have a synergistic impact on height outcomes.

Published: June 2024

English, one of the most dominant languages, has undergone transformations and divergences that have created a variety of variations in different parts of the world. The fact is that English has more than 160 acknowledged variations of accents across the globe. Each variation from standard English to a distinctive local reflects its unique culture and history. This study aims to investigate Generation Z's attitudes towards variations of Englishes of their English as foreign language communication experiences. This research adopted qualitative research benefiting from Saraceni's (2010) Space, Culture, Ideology and Psychology (SCIP) model to understand variety of English(es). Four English literature students were selected as respondents when they were still in their 7th semester and aged 21-22 at an Islamic university (under Ministry of Religious Affairs) in East Java, Indonesia. The results revealed that the dominance of American English is still the benchmark in most participants' preferences. A number of competing and interconnected factors such as habits, motivations, and practices with the influence of family, social, educational, and environmental factors shape their preferences on English(es) varieties. The participants showed positive, contradictory attitudes (positive and negative) to negative attitude towards the varieties of Englishes.

Published: July 2024

Tax aggressiveness is the actions taken by the company to reduce its tax obligations. A company is said to carry out tax aggressiveness if the company tries to reduce the tax burden aggressively, either using legal methods, namely tax avoidance or illegal methods such as tax evasion. Although not all tax planning actions are carried out illegally, the more loopholes a company uses to avoid taxes, the more aggressive the company is considered. And this study aims to examine the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable of this study. The independent variables are liquidity, ROA, leverage and the dependent variable is tax aggressiveness. And for the analytical method used is regression analysis, and descriptive analysis. Descriptive statistics are used to describe or describe the variables in the study. Descriptive statistics used are measures of tax aggressiveness of all sample companies. The description of the variables can be seen from the mean and standard deviation. The descriptive statistical test was carried out with the SPSS program. The results of the study found that liquidity has no effect on tax aggressiveness, then Renturn on Assets (ROA) affects tax aggressiveness, then leverage affects tax aggressiveness.

The pottery irrigation system is an ancient method to transport water drops slowly during porous pottery pitches, and it is filled manually. It is used in many countries and called with many names such as pitches, olla, clay, pours and ceramic irrigation systems. The present study aimed to analyze environmental and economic returns for developing and managing innovations in modern irrigation systems during the winter seasons (2020 and 2021) in AlSharqia, Egypt. Garlic was planted in one hectare under two irrigation systems, 1) The drippers were belt-in, the flow was 4 liter per second, with a operating pressure of 1 bar and two drippers in one meter on the hose, dripper known in Egypt as (Gr), used in the experiment as a surface drip (SD) and subsurface drip (SSD) irrigation system, 2) The Innovative Follicular Drippers (IFD) had ultra-low flow (0.1 l/h and 0.2 low-head operating pressure), three IFD in one meter on the hose. The plant row had three hoses located under the soil surface by 20 cm. The soil texture was sandy loam and water salinity was 400 ppm. Soil, water, and yield measurements were conducted using more than applied energy analysis and economic feasibility. The results showed that water savings by using IFD were 45%. The highest yields were 21.6, 15.8, and 11.7 tons/ha for IFD, SD, and SSD, respectively. The highest water productivity was 8.4, 3.4 and 2.5 kg.m-3 for IFD, SD and SSD, respectively. Green house gases (GHG) of IFD system were lower than SD and SSD by 67%. Where the novelty and utility of IFD is the collecting of the feature of irrigation net and pottery media in one system, where the IFD irrigation is controlled like common drip irrigation and pottery media did not required to refill by water manuuly follow-stop.

Analysis of the genetic diversity of tropical trees can contribute to forming active approaches for their conservation and future use. High-quality Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is required for many molecular applications used in the analysis of genetic diversity. The present study standardized efficient DNA isolation and long-term storage protocol using the 268 leaf samples from 8 tropical tree species such as Cullenia exarillata (Malvaceae), Dalbergia latifolia, Dalbergia sissoides, Kingiodendron pinnatum (Fabaceae), Dysoxylum malabaricum (Meliaceae), Mesua ferrea (Calophyllaceae), Myristica malabarica (Myristicaceae) and Tectona grandis (Lamiaceae). The high DNA quality resulted in the present method as Mean A260/280 = 1.90 ± 0.05. The amount of extracted DNA ranged from 23.4 ng/µL (in the mature leaf of Myristica malabarica) to 1922.7 ng/µL (in the young leaf of Dalbergia sissoides), while the yield ranged from 4.7 to 384.5 µg per 100 mg leaf sample. The extracted DNA samples of 8 species stored with 70% ethanol in the pellet form showed less DNA degradation and a maximium storage life of up to one year than those stored with TE buffer and sterile water. The integrity of one year of DNA stored in 70% ethanol was suitable for PCR amplification with RAPD and ISSR markers. The present method also facilitated efficient molecular characterization and validation of tropical tree species.

Published: June 2024

The sewage sludge (SS) profile combines potentially toxic metals and organic matter that help nourish the soil in many ways. Still, toxicity raises concerns about the contamination of the food chain and pollution of the soil, water, and air. Treatment of raw SS by physical and chemical methods is a challenging task with a big budget and does not support the sustainable approach. On the other hand, phytoremediation coupled with electrokinetic treatment treats the raw sludge by extracting the maximum amount of heavy metals (HMS) and enhancing its quality by improving the physicochemical parameters. The core study of this paper is to determine the accumulation of heavy metals from EKT SS by Spinacia oleracea. Two setups were prepared by amending the SS with garden soil; one (untreated) was directly subjected to phytoremediation, whereas EKT influenced the other for 11 days and allowed the plant to grow (treated). Results have shown that the extraction of Pb and Zn was high in both sets without compromising the plant's metabolism. EKT encourages the organic carbon, pH, and conductivity of the SS and promotes the growth of the plant in comparison to the untreated setup. EKT made all elements highly available, helping plants to absorb some high elements efficiently, and some elements, such as As and Cr, reported the lowest extraction. Pb is known for its high toxicity, but Spinach could absorb more than the range by increasing its stress tolerance index.

Published: June 2024

Aquaculture is a rapidly expanding sector that contributes significantly to the global food supply, with Asia accounting for 90% of production and India being the second largest aquaculture fish producer. Probiotics are used in aquaculture techniques because of the need for aquatic organism development, higher disease resistance, and feed efficiency. Several potential probiotics have been shown to produce antimicrobial substances that inhibit the growth of harmful microbes and preserve intestinal microecological equilibrium by allowing them to stick to stomach surfaces, thus impairing pathogenic growth. Aquaculture has benefited various industries, pharmaceuticals, and global food security in recent decades. Nevertheless, the stress conditions that aquatic creatures experience in aquaculture cause fish to become less resilient to illness and weaken their immune systems. Therefore, impacts local people's socioeconomic conditions and economic progress in many nations. Several approaches, including conventional practices, artificial chemicals, and antibiotics, have been used to control disease in the aquaculture sector. Hence, alternative techniques are far more important to keep the microbial ecosystem in aquaculture systems healthy. This review pre- sents the current understanding of probiotic use in aquaculture as a healthy alternative for fish and biological control agents in aquaculture and to find out its future direction for research.
