A comparative study on adhesive properties of nanoparticle reinforced epoxy bonded single-strap repaired composites
Authors: Karaoğlan Harun , Erkliğ Ahmet , Doğan Nurettin Furkan , Bulut Mehmet 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of nanoparticle inclusion and patch size on the bonding performance of single-strap repaired glass-reinforced composite plates through experimental investigations. Epoxy adhesive was modified with three different nanoparticles: nano-silica (NS), nano-graphene (NG), and nano-clay (NC) at varying weight contents. The patch repair performance of the test samples was evaluated using two patch ratios (Patch diameter (D)/Hole diameter (d) = 2 and 3) to explore the influence of patch size on repair effectiveness. GFRP composite base plates having a 10 mm diameter hole in the middle were patch repaired by using patches with the same material. Tensile tests were conducted to compare the tensile performance of the repaired composite samples, and the results were compared with the samples with and without holes. Based on the findings, it was noted that samples with a larger patch ratio (D/d = 3) can withstand higher tensile loads compared to those with a patch ratio of 2. Moreover, it was found that the specimen repaired with 3 % by weight NC-filled epoxy adhesive showed the greatest increase in tensile load value. This increase was recorded at both patch rates, with a percentage improvement of 2.8 and 19.54 % compared to pure epoxy adhesive. Also, it was observed that when the patch ratio was 3, the 3 % NS-filled adhesive showed an increase of 3.3 %. On the other hand, all combinations of NG-filled adhesive showed a decrease in maximum tensile load values.
Integrated instruction of Appraisal Theory and rhetorical moves in literature reviews: an exploratory study
Authors: Zhao Jun , Li Mimi 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
An effective literature review (LR) should evaluate relevant sources to justify the author argument; this important sub-genre has challenged many graduate students. Appraisal Theory has been applied to examine evaluations in academic writing, but seldom have studies probed into its pedagogical benefits. To improve graduate students’ competence of source evaluation in LRs, we integrated Attitude, an essential component of Appraisal Theory, with instruction of rhetorical moves in LRs. We offered asynchronous workshops on how Attitude is realized across various LR rhetorical moves and provided high frequency evaluative lexis and sentences to scaffold students’ learning. Analyses of the participants’ reflection posts and their original and revised LR papers revealed multiple benefits and some challenges and suggestions regarding this novel instructional approach. This SFL-informed, genre-based pedagogical exploration showcases the value of integrating Appraisal Theory-Attitude and rhetorical moves in LR instruction to help novice academic writers compose stronger LRs with meaningful source evaluation.
Perceiving with strangeness: quantifying a style of altered consciousness as estrangement in a corpus of 1960s American science fiction
Authors: Oakes Elizabeth 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In 1960s American science fiction, representations of altered consciousness may function as a novum, framing how protagonists perceive and interact with the storyworld, motivating their actions, and estranging readers. Representations of these states are rooted in the lexical particulars of style, which became of central concern to the rising New Wave subgenre. As a result of the defamiliarized focalization of altered consciousness, estranged readers confront in fresh ways core sociocultural concerns of the era embedded in the thematics of the novels. For this reason, it is fruitful to ask how the language of altered consciousness can be characterized. What lexical elements defamiliarize the focalization giving rise to estrangement? This paper addresses this question through a computational literary linguistic approach. Quantifying the lexical composition of altered states with content analysis dictionaries and performing cluster analysis uncovers underlying similarities within a corpus of 1960s American science fiction novels. The language of altered consciousness is then identified as a language of estrangement through stylistic close reading. This provides one route into understanding how a novum may be constructed of language, estrange the reader, and prompt reexamination of the formerly familiar through staying with strangeness.

Mongolia’s Foreign Policy Implementation: A Case Study in the Middle East
Authors: Oyunsuren S. , Zulbayar U. 
Published: October 2023

Summary
The purpose of this article is to clarify Mongolia's foreign policy challenges and trends by studying the historical and current processes of Mongolia in relation to the Middle East in chronological order, using both primary and secondary sources. Relations between Mongolia and the countries of the Middle East can be chronologically divided into three different periods: the State of the Huns (Xiongnu), the Mongol Empire, and Modern Mongolia. The state of the Huns, at the peak of its power, successfully developed relations with the countries of the Middle East through the “Great Silk Road”. The Mongol Empire, including the Ilkhanate, the Golden Horde, the Chagatai Khanate, and the Yuan Dynasty made a significant contribution to the development of mankind and pioneered globalization processes within the concept of Pax Mongolica. In addition, it is clear that the Mongols and Muslims together played an important role in the development of the world during this period. The Mongols fell under the rule of the Manchu in 1691 and were close to extinction. However, in 1946, they restored the independence of Mongolia. During this period, there was no relationship between Mongolia and the Middle East. And with the accession of the Mongolian People's Republic to the UN in 1961, its foreign policy relations crossed to a new level. However, its political position was one-sided and stated that “Mongolia would develop relations with socialist-oriented countries” and it included Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt, Algeria, Democratic Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Libya. During the 1990s, Mongolia's internal and external environment changed dramatically and it had moved to a democratic political system and market economy. And Mongolia determined the main guiding principle of foreign policy as “multi-based”. According to Mongolia's first foreign policy concept of 1994, its foreign policy towards the Middle East has been successfully implementing not only through bilateral relations but also through multilateral relations within international organizations and movements such as the United Nations, the Group of 77, and the Non-Aligned Movement. The renewed Mongolia Foreign Policy Concept of 2011 is aimed at establishing and expanding partnerships and cooperation with countries of the West and East, such as the United States, Japan, the European Union, India, the Republic of Korea, and Turkey within the framework of the “third neighbor” policy. One of the key motivations for Turkey as a third neighbor should be a historical link that binds the two peoples together as descendants of similar cultural heritage. In the near future, it is obvious that we will increase the number of our third neighbors with countries such as Kuwait, Israel, Iran from the Middle East.
Advances in organic–inorganic nanocomposites for cancer imaging and therapy
Authors: Xie Wenhui , Liu Yanli , Lin Juntang 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
“All in one” organic–inorganic nanocomposites with high biocompatibility and excellent physicochemical properties have recently attracted special attention in cancer imaging and therapy. Combination of organic and inorganic materials confers the nanocomposites with superior biocompatibility and biodegradability of organic materials, as well as magnetic, mechanical, and optical properties of inorganic materials. Increased endeavors have been made to produce diverse organic–inorganic nanocomposites and investigate their potential applications in cancer treatment. Thus, a systematic review of research progresses of diverse organic–inorganic nanocomposites in cancer imaging and therapy is indispensable. Following a brief overview of nanocomposites synthesis, classification, and functionalization, the current review is focused on comprehensively summarizing representatives of both organic–inorganic nanoscale nanocomposites (including organic-silica, organic-carbon, organic-quantum dots, organic-platinum family metals, organic-gold, organic metal oxides, and other nanocomposites) and organic–inorganic molecular nanocomposites (including metal-organic frameworks, organosilica nanoparticles, and amorphous metal coordination polymer particles), and further analyzing their working mechanism in cancer imaging and therapy. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of organic–inorganic nanocomposites are addressed for promoting their developments and clinical application in cancer treatment.
Exploring Twenty-First-Century Catholic Traditionalist Resistance Movement through Digital Cartoons of Pope Francis
Authors: Guzek Damian , Słomka Jan , Cieslik Emma 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Ever since cartoons were created as a medium of political and social commentary, they have been used to both criticize and uplift religious communities. The anti-Catholic cartoons of Thomas Nast and Jack Chick are easily recognizable, but interestingly, among twenty-first-century Catholic communities in Europe and the United States, Catholics themselves have been creating caricatures of Pope Francis, a more left-leaning pope in favor of reinforcing post-Second Vatican Council modernizations. These digital cartoons are tangible examples of a radically traditional antagonistic Catholic counter-public. This study delves into how radical traditional Catholic communities, who argue that pre-Vatican II traditions are a more authentic form of Catholicism than that encouraged by the current Pope Francis, are using cartoons to voice their agenda. By drawing from discourse theoretical analysis and hermeneutics, we identify four themes of criticism and discontent surrounding the pope: exposing his “bad agency,” ridiculing papal values, unveiling Francis’ “polarized and unbalanced” behavior, and expressing his predatory attitude toward representatives of Catholic traditionalism. Ultimately, we see these cartoons as the product of an antagonistic and anti-Pope Francis force internal to the Church, hypermediation without sources to public actions, and the digital milieu based on modernity in technology.

which is assumed to be a right upper-semicontinuous, but not necessarily right-continuous process, and a Lipschitz driver f. The result is established by using the Mertens decomposition of optional strong (but not necessarily right continuous) super-martingales, an appropriate generalization of Itô’s formula due to Gal’chouk and Lenglart and some tools from optimal stopping theory. A comparison theorem for this type of equations is given.
To be is not to inhabit: Yuri M. Lotman’s Ulysses and his transhumanist context
Authors: Váša Ondřej 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This essay contextualizes the Dantean figure of Ulysses, as conceived by Yuri M. Lotman, and draws this key figure of modernity into a network of mutually interconnected discourses: primarily transhumanist visions of the human future in space, which nevertheless arise from the specifically modern epistemic dimension of “restlessness,” and intertwine with post-war astronautics, cyborg visions of human re-engineering, and revolutionary considerations of speculative realism. The key is Lotman’s emphasis on Ulysses as a figure of “energy of thought”; in this regard, the essay shows how the original poetic “decision,” embodied by the Ulysses figure, advocates implicit cruelty in the name of the future (treated as an inevitable fate), and how this decision generates a logical and progressively unfolding series of “inhuman” images of man situated in the universe as an event of saturation of matter with merciless intelligence.
The impatient gaze: on the phenomenon of scrolling in the age of boredom
Authors: Marek Jakub 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In four major parts, this study investigates the phenomenon of scrolling. Its first task is to argue in favor of a specific quality of the experience of scrolling, distinguishing it from other forms of distraction, notably from the flow experience. Scrolling takes the shape of aimless drifting. Secondly, it investigates the phenomenon of scrolling against its relevant historical, economic, social, and cultural backdrop, with the intention of understanding scrolling as a typical phenomenon of today, rather than subscribing to a biased and superficial critique of its wastefulness or outright pathological character. The third part presents a comprehensive analysis of the temporal makeup of scrolling. Its temporality is expressed in the specific impatience of scrolling. Furthermore, scrolling amounts to a temporal reduction in the sense of favoring the present moment (and suppressing the temporal dimensions of the past and the future). The reductiveness of scrolling pertains to the semantic content as well. I argue that scrolling does not allow for certain experiences (such as, e.g., profound sadness). The temporality of scrolling is one of experiencing lived time as the permanence of passing. In the last section, I connect scrolling to boredom, and argue that scrolling accomplishes the task of allowing for an existential distractedness. In conclusion, I propose a nuanced evaluation of scrolling: in a Pascalian sense, scrolling responds to a profoundly human need of distraction. Yet I find scrolling dangerous in how easily available such distraction becomes, and in how it accustoms the users to a reductive existential experience. Scrolling, unlike art (but also, in principle, photography, movies, books), shields the user from challenging and enriching experiences.
The effects of vitamins C and E on the redox parameters of cytochrome P450 3A4
Authors: Pashanova Olga , Zubko Elena , Aringazina Raisa , Yumashev Alexey 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The research on the influence of antioxidant vitamins C and E on the catalytic activity of cytochrome P450 3A4 in electrochemical experiments is relevant, as they are widely used as additional biologically active substances in human diets and can affect biochemical processes in the body. Understanding these effects is of significant importance for pharmacology and medicine. The purpose of this study is to investigate how antioxidant vitamins C and E impact the catalytic activity of cytochrome P450 3A4 within the framework of electrochemical experiments. The voltammetry was performed in the presence of potassium phosphate buffer of neutral pH value (0.2 M) and 0.5 M erythromycin solution (Er). The ratio between the measures of current obtained in the presence of O2 and Er was 2.10 ± 0.09 (100 %, P < 0.05). With vitamin C and Er, it corresponded to 2.80 ± 0.12 (133 %, P < 0.05). The voltammograms of Cyt with Dic show a higher current stimulated by ascorbic acid. The effect of vitamin C on the H-dimethylation process of Er was investigated with a spectrophotometer (value 408 nm). The catalytic current of cytochrome P450 3A4 in the presence of diclofenac was stimulated by ascorbic acid, the effect of which on the N-demethylation of erythromycin was studied spectrophotometrically at 408 nm based on the formation of formaldehyde using the acetylacetone reagent. The obtained results suggest the potential impact of antioxidant vitamins not only on the stimulation of electrochemical reduction of cytochrome P450 3A4 but also on the clinical metabolism of substrates in patients. These findings provide valuable insights for further clinical investigations aimed at predicting the risk of drug interactions with antioxidants.
A wall or a road? A remote sensing-based investigation of fortifications on Rome's eastern frontier
Authors: Casana Jesse , Goodman David D. , Ferwerda Carolin 
Published: October 2023

AbstractDuring a pioneering aerial survey of the Near East in the 1920s, Father Antoine Poidebard recorded hundreds of fortified military buildings that traced the eastern frontier of the Roman Empire. Based on their distribution, Poidebard proposed that these forts represented a line of defence against incursions from the east. Utilising declassified images from the CORONA and HEXAGON spy satellite programmes, the authors report on the identification of a further 396 forts widely distributed across the northern Fertile Crescent. The addition of these forts questions Poidebard's defensive frontier thesis and suggests instead that the structures played a role in facilitating the movement of people and goods across the Syrian steppe.
The Effect of a Novel Weight-Supported Kinetic Chain Resistance Training Program on Proximal Core Muscular Endurance, Trunk-to-Arm Muscular Power, and Bat Swing Speed
Authors: Palmer Thomas G. , McCabe Mathew 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Palmer, TG, and McCabe, M. The effect of a novel weight-supported kinetic chain resistance training program on proximal core muscular endurance, trunk-to-arm muscular power, and bat swing speed. J Strength Cond Res 37(11): 2130–2140, 2023—Muscular stability and muscular power at the proximal core segments of the pelvis, spine, and trunk are essential attributes in maximizing bat swing speed in the sport of softball. Weight-supported kinetic chain resistance training (WsKC) is a novel closed kinetic chain technique that provides synergistic multiplanar stressors to the proximal core segments via the lower and upper extremities while limiting joint compression and sheer forces throughout the kinetic chain. The aim of this study was to assess the effect a 7-week preseason WsKC program would have on an isometric muscular endurance plank, trunk-to-arm peak muscular power (TAPP), trunk-to-arm peak velocity (TAPV), and bat swing speed (BSS) compared with a traditional isotonic weight resistance training program. Twenty-seven female high school softball players (age = 16 years, height = 167.6 cm, body mass = 62.86 kg) were assigned in a blocked randomization to one of 2 groups: a standing weight-supported kinetic chain resistance training (WsT) group (n = 13) or a pseudo-control traditional isotonic training (TT) group (n = 14). The WsT group had significant improvements (p < 0.05) for the isometric endurance plank (p = 0.001), TAPP (p = 0.002), TAPV (p = 0.001), and BSS (p = 0.02) compared with the TT group. The training effect size (ES) was large for the WsT group for all variables (ES = 1.0–7.4) and small to moderate for a majority of the TT variables (ES = 0.06–0.47). The simultaneous improvement in the isometric endurance plank, trunk-to-arm rotations, and BSS indicates that the WsKC contributed to subsequent improvements in BSS in high school softball players.

Abstract
Redshaw, AS, Carrick-Ranson, G, Bennett, H, Norton, KI, and Walker, A. Effect of aging on movement quality in Australian urban firefighters. J Strength Cond Res 37(11): e601–e608, 2023—Adequate levels of movement quality (MQ) are required to safely perform occupational tasks in physically demanding and hazardous professions such as firefighting. Although it is well established that MQ deteriorates with age in population studies, there is conflicting evidence in older tactical populations. This study sought to examine the relationship between age and MQ in Australian urban firefighters. The impact of physical activity, injury history, and body mass index on MQ were also explored. The MQ of 324 professional Australian urban firefighters was assessed using MovementSCREEN MQ assessment tool. Scores of whole-body MQ ranged from 35.3 to 82.6 (0–100 scale), with a mean score of 59.2 ± 10.0. There was a moderate, negative association between MQ and age (r = −0.500; p ≤ 0.001), with those older than 50 years of age having significantly lower scores of MQ than their younger counterparts (p ≤ 0.001). Secondary analysis found that higher body mass index (r = −0.285; p ≤ 0.001), lower habitual physical activity levels (r = 0.165; p ≤ 0.003), and the presence of any musculoskeletal injury in the previous 12 months (p = 0.016) had significant negative effects on composite MQ. Firefighters older than 50, obese, and engaging in low levels of physical activity should be considered a high priority for functional strength training interventions to maintain adequate MQ throughout their careers.
