Abstract. As remnants of living organisms, alkenones and isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether lipids (isoGDGTs) are widely used biomarkers for determining ocean water temperatures from the past. The organisms that these proxy carriers stem from are influenced by a number of environmental parameters, such as water depth, nutrient availability, light conditions, or seasonality, which all may significantly bias the calibration to ambient water temperatures. Reliable temperature determinations thus remain challenging, especially in higher latitudes and for undersampled regions. We analyzed 33 sediment surface samples from the southern Chilean continental margin and the Drake Passage for alkenones and isoGDGTs and compared the results with gridded instrumental reference data from the World Ocean Atlas 2005 (WOA05) and previously published data from an extended study area covering the central and western South Pacific towards the Aotearoa / New Zealand continental margin. We show that for alkenone-derived sea surface temperatures (SSTs), the widely used global core-top calibration of Müller et al. (1998) yields the smallest deviation of the WOA05-based SSTs. On the contrary, the calibration of Sikes et al. (1997), determined for higher latitudes and summer SSTs, overestimates modern WOA05-based SSTs in both the annual mean and summer. Our alkenone SSTs show a slight seasonal shift of ∼ 1 ∘C at the southern Chilean margin and up to ∼ 2 ∘C in the Drake Passage towards austral summer SSTs. Samples in the central South Pacific, on the other hand, reflect an annual mean signal. We show that for isoGDGT-based temperatures, the subsurface calibration of Kim et al. (2012a) best reflects temperatures from the WOA05 in areas north of the Subantarctic Front (SAF). Temperatures south of the SAF are, in contrast, significantly overestimated by up to 14 ∘C, irrespective of the applied calibration. In addition, we used the GDGT [2]/[3] ratios, which give an indication of the production depth of the isoGDGTs and/or potential influences from land. Our samples reflect a subsurface (0–200 m water depth) rather than a surface (0–50 m water depth) signal in the entire study area and show a correlation with the monthly dust distribution in the South Pacific, indicating terrigenous influences. The overestimation of isoGDGT surface and subsurface temperatures south of the SAF highlights the need for a reassessment of existing calibrations in the polar Southern Ocean. Therefore, we suggest a modified Southern Ocean tetraether index (TEX86)-based calibration for surface and subsurface temperatures, which shows a lower temperature sensitivity and yields principally lower absolute temperatures, which align more closely with WOA05-derived values and also OH–isoGDGT-derived temperatures.

Published: September 2023

The article reveals the origin of the Turkish-Japanese relations, and analyzes conditions, under which they were developed. Influence of the Russian-Japanese war (1904–1905) on the Ottoman Empire is considered. First diplomatic contacts between the Ottoman Empire and Japan started with visits of representatives of the Japanese authorities to Istanbul for the purpose of acquaintance to Ottomans. As a result of mutual visits between two states their friendly relations began to develop. Despite the fact, that before the Russian-Japanese war (1904–1905) many top-level diplomatic visits between Ottomans and Japanese were made, no political and military agreement between two countries was signed. The Russian-Japanese war had a huge impact on the Ottoman Empire, and for the whole world. Though this war didn't influence domestic policy of the Ottoman Empire, its course was watched closely by both Ottoman statesmen, and the public. On the one hand, successive defeats in the wars with the Russian Empire in the 19th century caused psychological decline of the Ottoman Empire, but on the other hand, the results of the Russian-Japanese War showed the Turks, that it was also possible to win the Russian Empire, which was considered invincible. The Turkish people were encouraged by the defeat of the Russian Empire in the war, and the Turkish government even thought about creating an alliance with Japan. Before and after the Russian-Japanese War (1904–1905), Sultan Abdul-Hamid II always made decisions, considering the subsequent positive and negative consequences of a possible Turkish-Japanese alliance, as a result of which Russia would be surrounded from the east, and that this alliance could aggravate relations with Russia.

The Pama croaker, Otolithoides pama is a prominent marine species under Sciaenidae family. This Sciaenid fish is a popular table food and a perceptible protein source for Bangladeshi rural people. Our research highlights a comprehensive description of the biometric indices of O. pama sampled from the Bay of Bengal, south-west Bangladesh, together with sex ratio, length-frequency distribution, growth pattern, form factor, Fulton’s condition and prey-predator status. Overall 252 specimens (male = 171 and female = 81) were sampled by gill net during 2022 on seasonal basis (summer, rainy and winter). Length and weight of the sampled fish were assessed with measuring board and digital balance. While the sex ratio (male: female = 1.00:0.47) deviated from the conventional ratio of 1:1, total length varied from 13.0 to 26.7 cm for pooled data. Both sexes revealed negative allometric growth (b < 3.00) pattern as a whole. Form factor (a3.0) was found 0.0074 which stated that the fish possessed a fusiform body shape. The mean Fulton’s condition factor denoted an indecorous state of health. Alternatively, prey-predator status was found quite suitable for O. pama population. The outcomes of our research would be highly effective for executing sound management policy in the marine water of Bangladesh.
Quantum Feminicity
Authors: Colman Felicitiy 
Published: September 2023

Quantum feminicity is a term that refers to the intersection of quantum theory, a technological branch of physics, with feminist theory, a social and political movement.
Engaging the modal logics of this intersection, the article explores this intersection through one aspect of quantum literacy; that of the quantum splitting of the concept of the temporal narrative. The article examines what are the interdisciplinary convergences of feminist and physics’s respective philosophies. Focussing on the quantum modalities that are being practiced in relation to the situated nature of technological platforms engaged, the article proposes that modelling a quantum feminicity can assist in disengaging modes of sexual difference that are used to gender all kinds of bodies through a countermanding the temporal. Experiences of bodies are considered as experimental modes that provide quantum vectors for feminist actions.

Research on child sexual abuse (CSA) suggests that support and protection from the caregiver provide the child an effective platform for quick recovery and improvement in mental health and social functioning. Nonetheless, not all caregivers are supportive of survivors; recent research findings, instead, show that incidents of CSA have debilitating psychological impact on survivors' caregivers which impair their functioning. This study explored whether a systematic link exists between an incident ofCSAand psychological changes in caregivers, thereby justifying their psychological care. The objectives of the study were to 1) explore if a relationship exists between an incident of CSA and changes in mental health of primary caregivers of abused children and 2) identify symptoms of the psychological impact ofCSA on primary caregivers of abused children. Participants in the study were 34 caregivers of CSA survivors from at Victim Support Unit (VSU), Young Women's Christians Association (YWCA) and/or University Teaching Hospital (UTH), Lusaka. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and a semi-structured interview schedule were used for data collection. Overall PSS scores indicated that an incident of CSA results in a debilitating psychological impact on caregivers of the survivors, there were. significant difference in the levels of perceived stress experienced by maternal caregivers (Mean rank= 19.38, n = 29) and paternal ones (Mean rank =6.60,n=5):z= 2.66,p .01).
Symptoms of psychological distress experienced by caregivers after an incident of CSA included anxiety, fear, depression, anger, insomnia, and functional impairment. About half the care givers in the study (n= 19, 55.88%) showed support and protection for their children; others (n = 15, 44.12%) were hostile toward and blamed their children for the abuse. The caregivers therefore may need psychological services to improve their mental health and provide support to their children.

Published: September 2023

Background: The root of Steganotaenia araliacea is used for assisting labour in folk medicine. Recent reports indicate that the root could possess uterotonic substances. Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate three methods for the extraction of uterotonic principles from the root of S. araliacea growing in Zambia.Methods: Roots of the plant were collected from Chongwe District of Zambia. The air-dried roots were size-reduced, and the powdered material extracted with hot ethanol, hot distilled water, and cold distilled water. The solvent extracts were concentrated and dried at 110 0C. Solutions of the hot aqueous and cold aqueous extracts were prepared in distilled water and used for organ bath experiments to demonstrate uterotonic activities using strips of pregnant rat uterus. The frequencies and amplitude of contractile forces were recorded. The amplitudes were plotted against log concentration of extract with GraphPad Prism software, and the EC50 values determined.Results: The percentage yields were 31.3 % for the hot aqueous extract, 8.15 % for the ethanolic extract, and 3.27 % for the cold aqueous extract. The cold aqueous extract showed higher potency (EC50 of 0.54 mg/ml) compared to the hot aqueous extract (EC50 of 2.09 mg/ml).Conclusion: Root extracts of S. araliacea possess demonstrable uterotonic effects. Extraction of the roots for this purpose could benefit from preliminary defatting with organic solvents, followed by successive extraction with hot and cold water.

Progress in Migration and Asylum Law scholarship – International, Intersectional, and Interdisciplinary. Special Issue Progress in Legal Scholarship, Marnix Snel, Sanne Taekema & Gijs van Dijck (eds.)
Migration and asylum are global phenomena. Yet they lack a universally accepted and applicable legal regulatory framework, which leads to fragmentation across different levels and fields of analysis. In this contribution, we focus on migration and asylum law (MAL) which we understand to be made up of national, regional and international laws as well as their implementation in practice. The aim of this article is to identify developments in the area of MAL and the scholarly voices that have contributed to ground-breaking legal scholarship. We approach the question of progress in MAL scholarship based on our combined expertise in human rights, refugee law and migration law and bring forward how, in these often-separate legal fields, similar progress has been made. We focus our discussion on three interactions that we consider to have changed the way in which legal scholarship addresses migration and asylum: interactions between national and other sources of law; interactions between different fields of law, crossing into human rights law, family law or labour law; and interactions with various empirical scholarships (section 3). Learning from sociology and anthropology scholarships, the intersection of social stratifications such as gender, race and ethnicity, and class is now firmly grounded in MAL scholarship, inspiring the methodological shift from black letter law to empirical legal studies.

De juridische haken en ogen van verhuizing als gevolg van een ongeval
Een ongeval, medische fout of andere schadeveroorzakende gebeurtenis kan tot zeer ernstig letsel leiden. Soms zó ernstig, dat de woning waarin de benadeelde woont niet langer geschikt is. In dat geval moet worden gezocht naar een andere woning, die geschikt is voor bewoning door iemand met ernstige beperkingen. Uitgangspunt bij schadebegroting is dat de schade volledig, en zo veel mogelijk concreet, wordt vergoed. In geval van personenschade dient de benadeelde zo veel mogelijk te worden gebracht in de situatie waarin hij zonder schadeveroorzakende gebeurtenis zou hebben verkeerd. Wat betekenen deze uitgangspunten in de situatie waarin het letsel noopt tot verhuizing naar een andere woning? De auteur bespreekt deze en andere vragen in deze bijdrage.

De verhouding tussen Richtlijn 2009/103/EG en een nationale regeling die immateriële schadevergoeding van naasten beperkt. HvJ EU 15 december 2022, ECLI:EU:C:2022:992 (NO en LM/HUK-Coburg)
In december 2022 heeft het Europese Hof (HvJ EU) zich uitgelaten over de verhouding tussen Richtlijn 2009/103/EG en nationale regelingen die immateriële schade voor naasten van slachtoffers van een verkeersongeval beperken. In deze zaak ging het over het Duitse recht waarin alleen vergoeding voor naasten mogelijk was wanneer er sprake was van lichamelijk letsel. In dit artikel wordt de uitspraak besproken waarbij ook ingegaan wordt op eerdere uitspraken van het HvJ EU over dit onderwerp. Ook wordt Richtlijn 2009/103/EG nader toegelicht. Tot slot komt aan bod de vraag of de regeling in Nederland vóór en ná inwerkingtreding van de Wet Affectieschade in strijd is met Richtlijn 2009/103/EG.
Estudo sobre o conhecimento dos responsáveis legais dos estudantes acerca dos indicadores de qualidade educacional
Authors: Gesqui Luiz Carlos , Paiva Gustavo Pulze 
Published: September 2023

Este artigo tem por base recente pesquisa qualitativa que investigou o conhecimento dos responsáveis legais dos estudantes sobre os indicadores de qualidade educacional em escolas da rede pública paulista de ensino regular, haja vista a identificação de baixa produção acadêmica referente ao tema. A partir da coleta de dados, via questionário online, de 345 respondentes de duas escolas de Rio Claro – SP e analisados a partir de Freitas (2007; 2012) no que se refere à relação dos indicadores educacionais e a comunidade escolar, seus resultados revelaram um cenário preocupante, pois constatou-se que o conhecimento e a participação dos responsáveis legais dos estudantes são mínimos tanto em relação aos indicadores de qualidade quanto às demais ações cotidianas das escolas. Desta forma, o estudo demonstra a importância do conhecimento por parte dos responsáveis legais dos estudantes dos indicadores de qualidade da educação como ferramenta para uma participação mais ativa desses responsáveis no processo educacional de seus filhos ou estudantes sob sua responsabilidade, além de estabelecer uma parceria mais sólida entre a escola e a família para melhorar continuamente a qualidade da educação oferecida pela rede pública paulista.

Objective: the self-concept is the set of attitudes and values about oneself. Self-perception, on the other hand, is understood as a multidimensional construct composed of several domains of the human being. Considering people with Down Syndrome, this scoping review maps evidence on self-perception and self-concept in children and adolescents with Down Syndrome. Method: this review followed Arksey & O'Malley's proposal and The Joanna Briggs Institute Manual for Evidence Synthesis. The proposed research question was: "What is the self-perception of children and adolescents with Down Syndrome? The protocol was registered at Open Science Framework (osf.io/znp7j). Results: the search was performed in September 2021, in seven databases, totaling 2437. After screening, seven articles were included, which were grouped considering the complexity of the concepts of self-perception and self-concept. Thus, the synthesis encompassed the following themes: a) body influence; b) social preferences; c) lifestyles and personal achievement; d) school environment. Conclusion: the result of this systematic review suggests that the body and lifestyles of children and adolescents with Down Syndrome influence the self-concept and self-perception of these individuals.

The main purpose of this study is to explore the internal relationship between pure mathematics and mathematics research level in institutions, utilizingPython to perform correlation analysis in four areas: total number of publications, funding, journals, and cooperative institutions. Besides, Kruskal Wallis test is used for single factor analysis. The findings reveal that the higher the ranking of scientific research institutions, the more positive correlation between the research level of mathematics and pure mathematics. Moreover, the higher the level of mathematics, the greater the impact of the number of pure mathematics publications and the number of international cooperative publications on their mathematics subject ranking. Finally, we offer five practical recommendations for research institutions wishing to improve the level of pure mathematics research.
