Published: January 2024

The article analyzes the influence of knowledge and skills on the financial attitude of university students. Financial knowledge, skills, and attitudes are components of what is called financial literacy. The theory of human capital emphasizes the importance of investing in human capital to enhance individuals' decision-making. The empirical analysis uses a sample of 531 university students from Tacna, Peru. The results of the proposed structural equation model corroborate that financial knowledge and skills directly and positively influence university students' financial attitude. The findings offer important implications for students and higher education institutions by highlighting the importance of incorporating courses and workshops on personal finance to acquire knowledge and improve students' financial skills and, consequently, facilitate the development of a financial attitude that allowsthem to make more informed financial decisions.

Authors: Natio Ezra , Panjaitan Saut Parulian , Ikhsan Rd Muhammad 
Published: January 2024

This research focused on the restriction of specific commodities from being brought into Indonesia and the implementation of regulations aimed at tackling the illegal activity of importing these prohibited products. Analyses are conducted on secondary sources of information, including statutes, books, and periodicals, in accordance with a juridical-normative research approach and conceptual approach. The research demonstrates that the limitation on importing specific commodities into Indonesia is intended to safeguard the interests of the nation and state. The forbidden goods encompass items that have the potential to disrupt military and security, pose risks to human health, cause harm to the environment, disrupt industry, trade, and finance, and damage cultural products. The Minister of Trade Regulation No. 18 of 2021, along with the Regulation of the Minister of Trade No. 40 of 2022, clearly states the precise commodities that are prohibited. Law enforcement against importing prohibited items uses administrative and criminal penalties. The imposition of import duties and the confiscation of merchandise are examples of administrative sanctions. Criminal sanctions are governed by articles 110 and 112 of Law No. 7 of 2014, which establish the provisions for cumulative criminal sanctions and penalties. Furthermore, these enforcement measures may be harmonized with customs regulation. In general, this research provides insight into the legal mechanisms implemented to enforce the prohibitions on specific imported products in Indonesia, as well as the underlying justifications for such restrictions, to safeguard national interests.

Published: January 2024

This study focuses on analyzing the backpackers' utopianism in Alex Garland’s The Beach and the problem presented in this study is how is the backpackers’ utopianism presented in the novel. The study intends to identify utopianism that exist in the backpackers' community. The writers hopes that this study can give contribution to those interested in further analyzing the novel. In this case, the library research is used and the objective theory is employed as the basic principal of the analysis.Having a desire to find and experience something unusual and different through travel is what drives many young western backpackers to Thailand with adventure on their mind. Unfortunately what they find is no more than just a dirty reality of many overrun tourist resorts instead of a tourist free tropical paradise they long. Existing among those popularized tourist resorts is apparently, the beach, known for its beauty and natural purity. The beach happens to be an improbable tale among backpackers and travelers. However, for some other backpackers, this beach does exist. Guided by quite a top secret map, three backpackers find their pristine beach on an unspoiled island of Thailand. Once there, they are convinced that they have discovered Eden, or at least their very own version of it. Wearied by many overrun tourist spots, and impressed by the beauty of foe beach, those backpackers decide to live on the beach area eternally and secretly. In, this secret community, those backpackers adapt to foe needs and pleasures of alternatives. Unfortunately those backpackers supposedly ideal beach life is unable to be perfectly realize due to the imperfection that they find there, or more to the point, the imperfections they find within themselves.After, studying the backpackers utopianism, the writer can conclude that the backpackers’ notion of perfection upon an ideal place is in fact normal for it suggest the nature of humans as an imaginative creatures endowed with desire for perfection, especially reaction to their imperfect world. Aside from that, humans are, at the same time, likely to be considered absurd for being utopians those appear to be too exigent in demanding their particular version of ideal and thus, being less aware of the impracticability of his ideal. It is therefore to say that humans need to be sensible in idealizing their dreams. They must have complete knowledge and awareness of their own capability instead of blind faith.

Published: January 2024

Globalisation brings a great impact on the use of English in any domains like business, education, IT and the like. English has become lingua franca one chooses to communicate with others having a different language. English has spread worldwide and this phenomenon has resulted in English teaching learning in primary level in many non- English-speaking countries. This brings a consequence to a crucial need in teachers' education. Teachers at the primary level need to develop both competence in English use and teaching skills to young learners regarding their special characteristics. Theories in children development is needed by teachers to meet the special needs of children. One method suggested to meet those needs through songs" Songs help children to internalize some words and sentences in the new language. Songs also provide a link with their everyday lives and be fun. Songs can be used at any level of ages at any stage in a lesson. In the beginning of a lesson songs can be used to mark the change from one topic to another. Songs can be a break from another more concetrate activity in the middle of a lesson and used to round a lesson of the end.

Authors: Dewi Anita Sartika 
Published: January 2024

This paper is a sociolinguistic study on the impact of a two-week fieldwork experienced by English Diploma Program students of Universitas Islam Indonesia(UII)Yogyakarta in Australia. The aspects to be scrutinized are the effect of the program on the students' self development and their understanding of Australia and how their return to Indonesia influences their fellow students at the Islamic university. Impact of the two-week field work is seen from two theoretical backgrounds language perception (Lowe, 2000) and orientation (Gardner, 1985). Data collection was carried out through email questionnaires. Several themes occurred were expectation on the fieldwork, expectation on life in Australia, family expectation, reality faced in Australia, most meaningful experiences, and returning to Indonesia.Results of the study show that the fieldwork has brought an "instrumentally oriented" impact on the students' self development and understanding of Australia. Even though the students gained more than previously expected, more could have been achieved as there was no strong influence on other UII students, yet.

Authors: Beeler Silvan , Ongini Esteban , Hochreiter Bettina , Sutter Reto , Viehöfer Arnd , Wirth Stephan , Calek Anna-Katharina 
Published: January 2024

Background:
If tibiofibular syndesmotic injury is undetected, chronic instability may lead to persistent pain and osteoarthritis. So far, no reliable diagnostic method has been available. The primary objectives of this study were to determine whether defined lesions of the syndesmosis can be correlated with specific tibiofibular joint displacements caused by external rotational torque and to compare the performance of bilateral external torque computed tomography (BET-CT) and arthroscopy. Secondary objectives included an evaluation of the reliability of CT measurements and the suitability of the healthy contralateral ankle as a reference.

Methods:
Seven pairs of healthy, cadaveric lower legs were tested and assigned to 2 groups: (1) supination-external rotation (SER) and (2) pronation-external rotation (PER). In the intact state and after each surgical step, an ankle arthroscopy and 3 CT scans were performed. During the scans, the specimens were placed in an external torque device with 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 Nm of torque applied.

Results:
The arthroscopic and CT parameters showed significant correlations in all pairwise comparisons. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses yielded the best prediction of syndesmotic instability with the anterior tibiofibular distance on CT, with a sensitivity of 84.1% and a specificity of 95.2% (area under the curve [AUC], 94.8%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.916 to 0.979; p < 0.0001) and with the middle tibiofibular distance on arthroscopy, with a sensitivity of 76.2% and specificity of 92.3% (AUC, 91.2%; 95% CI, 0.837 to 0.987; p < 0.0001). Higher torque amounts increased the rate of true-positive results.

Conclusions:
BET-CT reliably detects experimental syndesmotic rotational instability, compared with the healthy side, with greater sensitivity and similar specificity compared with the arthroscopic lateral hook test. Translation of these experimental findings to clinical practice remains to be established.

Abstract
—In this paper we analyze the geological structure and prospects of hydrocarbon potential of the Paleozoic deposits in southeastern regions of West Siberia, including the Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Omsk regions and the southwest of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in the left-bank part of the Yenisei River. In the process of our studies, we analyzed the tectonic structure of the basement and made a conclusion that most of the studied area is occupied by the Central West Siberian zone of Late Hercynides. In the northeast of the Tomsk region and the adjacent area of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the cis-Yenisei Upper Protezoic–Paleozoic sedimentary subbasin, lying on the pre-Baikal basement, developed. We constructed regional-zonal models of the Riphean–Cambrian deposits of the cis-Yenisei subprovince and Paleozoic deposits in the area of distribution of Hercynides and analyzed the material composition and age of the rocks of the pre-Jurassic basement. We assessed hydrocarbon potential of the Upper Proterozoic–Paleozoic deposits, identified prospective blocks and objects, developed seismogeological criteria to identify and map in detail the Paleozoic oil and gas prospective reservoirs and constructed seismogeological models of reference fields.

Abstract
—The estimation results of the initial total unconventional resources of hydrocarbon in Domanik type sediments, the Khadum and Bazhenov formations are provided. The reasonability of estimating hydrocarbon resources in these deposits by the volumetric method is substantiated. The stratigraphic interval of their distribution is given. The technique of oil and gas geological zoning based on the mapping of structural and facies zones, the degree of catagenetic transformation of organic matter, and the boundary values of the thickness of carbonaceous rocks in the section is described. The criteria for the allocation of pay intervals that make up the effective part of the section are determined. The choice of parameters such as porosity coefficient, oil recovery coefficient, oil saturation coefficient, correction factor and oil density is justified. For each complex of deposits, adjustments related to the features of the geological structure of the estimation targets, the conditions of their occurrence and the degree of geological and geophysical study have been introduced into the estimation of total geological resources. The volumes of total geological and recoverable resources of unconventional hydrocarbon sources for the Volga– Ural, Timan–Pechora, Black Sea–North Caucasus, West Siberian and Lena–Tunguska oil and gas provinces are given. The conducted research has rationalized extensive resources, the recovery of which can compensate for the decrease in oil volumes from traditional deposits.

Abstract

Electrochemical co-reduction of CO2 and nitrate to synthesize urea is a crucial and challenging task. So far, the reported catalysts have suffered from either low Faradaic efficiency (FE) or inadequate current density, leading to a restricted yield rate of urea. In this work, by a "ship-in-a-bottle" strategy, the ultrafine γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) (< 2 nm) were introduced into the pores of a conductive (40 S cm−1) metal-organic framework Ni-HITP, resulting in a new composite material, namely γ-Fe2O3@Ni-HITP. Under neutral conditions, γ-Fe2O3@Ni-HITP exhibited a state-of-art electrocatalytic performance for urea synthesis through the co-reduction of CO2 and nitrate in CO2-saturated 0.1 M KHCO3 and 0.1 M KNO3 aqueous solution, achieving an FEurea of 65.8(6)%, a current density of −90 mA cm−2 and an ultrahigh yield rate of 20.4 g h−1 gcat.−1 (7.7 mg h−1 cm−2), which is about 5 times higher than those of reported catalysts. No obvious degradation was observed over 150 hours of continuous operation at such ultrahigh yield rate. Enlarging the electrode area by 125 times and working for 8 hours, about 1.05 g of high-purity urea was obtained, highlighting the potential industrial application. Mechanistic study revealed that the Fe(Ⅲ) ions of γ-Fe2O3 NPs exhibit high activity to generate the key intermediates *NH2 and *COOH. Furthermore, the synergistic effect between a pair of adjacent Fe(Ⅲ) ions of γ-Fe2O3 NPs promotes the C−N coupling between *NH2 and *COOH, resulting in the formation of the subsequent key intermediate *CONH2, thereby contributing to the exceptional high-performance for urea production. This work significantly expands the applicability of NPs by combining them with conductive porous matrices, and paves the way for innovative design of high-performance catalysts.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Stock (Matthiola incana L.) is one of the most commercial cut-flowers in the world. To evaluate the efficiency of physiological markers for salt tolerance, 10 cultivars of stock were selected and their seedlings were irrigated with salt water (6 dS/m) from four true-leaf stage for six weeks. The dry weight of shoots and roots, and K+, Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations in shoots were evaluated in the study. Based on the results, dry weights of shoots and roots had positive correlations with K+/Na+ selectivity coefficient. This indicates that K+/Na+ ratio in shoots has a direct correlation with the amount of plant growth under salinity conditions. Also, a negative correlation was found between Ca2+ and K+ accumulation and dry weights of the shoots. There was a low Ca2+ to Na+ ratio in the shoots, which confirms the importance of the K+ accumulation rate in the shoots or the K+/Na+ selectivity coefficient, as the determinant factor of salt tolerance rate in stock. In conclusion, ‘Column Lilac Lavender’, ‘Column Lavender’ and ‘Column Cooper’ with the highest K+/Na+ ratio in shoots, were considered as the most tolerant, and ‘Column Mid-Blue’ and ‘Column Rose’ with the lowest K+/Na+ ratio, as the most sensitive cultivars to salinity. The physiological markers used in this study can be introduced for large-scale screening of salt-tolerant varieties of the stock.

Abstract
Human blood vessel organoids (hBVOs) offer a promising platform for investigating vascular diseases and identifying therapeutic targets. In this study, we focused on in vitro modeling and therapeutic target finding of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), the most common form of hereditary stroke disorder caused by mutations in the Notch3 gene. Despite the identification of these mutations, the underlying pathological mechanism is elusive, and effective therapeutic approaches are lacking. CADASIL primarily affects the blood vessels in the brain, leading to ischemic strokes, migraines, and dementia. By employing CRISPR/Cas9 base-editing technology, we generated human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) carrying Notch3 mutations. These mutant hiPSCs were differentiated into hBVOs. The Notch3 mutated hBVOs exhibited CADASIL-like pathology, characterized by a reduced vessel diameter and degeneration of mural cells. Furthermore, we observed an accumulation of notch3 extracellular domain (notch3ECD), increased apoptosis, and cytoskeletal alterations in the Notch3 mutant hBVOs. Notably, treatment with ROCK inhibitors partially restored the disconnection between vascular cells in the mutant hBVOs. These findings shed light on the pathogenesis of CADASIL and highlight the potential of hBVOs for studying and developing therapeutic interventions for this debilitating human vascular disorder.

Abstract
This study analyzed the premature failure of a stainless-steel stack obtained from a mining company. The stack was manufactured using ASTM A240 Type 316L stainless steel. After one year of its service, massive leakages and cracks were observed near the welds. Following a visual examination of the stack, a representative sample was extracted and analyzed using visual and radiographic inspection, metallographic examination, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, optical emission spectrometry, ferrite number analysis, and leak testing. Furthermore, corrosion mechanisms and the sequence of events leading to failure were determined. Two different mechanisms were identified: acid dew point corrosion caused by the condensation of H2SO4 and HCl at the inner walls of the chimney, followed by stress-corrosion cracking near the welded joints.
Resting Prolactin Measurements: a useful step in hyperprolactinaemia assessment
Authors: Brimble Rebecca , Bolland Mark 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Objective
Elevated prolactin levels are a common reason for referral to Endocrinologists but are frequently normal on repeated testing. We audited results of resting prolactin measurements to investigate whether routine testing in assessment of mild hyperprolactinaemia might improve the referral pathway.
Results
We identified all patients with resting prolactin measurements at ADHB Endocrinology (Auckland, New Zealand) between 2019–2020 and extracted relevant information from clinical records. 71 patients were identified: their average age was 33 (11) years; 58 (82%) were female; and the mean prior prolactin was 676 (257) mIU/L [range 245–1516, 12 (17%) > 1000 mIU/L]. 47/71 (66%) patients had a resting prolactin in the normal range. 29/52 (56%) of resting tests were normal at baseline, with the majority normal by 30 minutes. Only 1/11 tests decreased from elevated to normal between 30 and 60 minutes. Neither the level of previous prolactin measurements (> or < 1000 mIU/L), whether the indication for prolactin measurement was appropriate or not, or the highest pre-endocrinology assessment prolactin accurately predicted a normal resting prolactin. In summary, measurement of resting prolactin prior to an endocrinology clinical review is likely to identify individuals with normal prolactin who do not require a clinical assessment.
