Hurrian Theophoric Names in the Documents from the Hittite Kingdom
Authors: de Martino Stefano 
Published: July 2023

Hurrian personal names are documented among the members of the Hittite royal family starting from the time of King Tuthaliya I and they become more and more popular in the 13th century BC. The rulers of polities subordinate to Hatti, such as Karkemish and Amurru, bore Hurrian names. These names were also diffused among the inhabitants of Anatolia and Syria, as the Hittite texts and the tablets discovered at Alalah and Emar demonstrate. The greatest part of the Hurrian names is "Satznamen" in which one of the two components is a divine name. Thus, the name giving process can offer information on the spread of the Hurrian religious tradition in the regions under the Hittite political control.
A Rare Case: HaemoglobinS-Thalassemia in Adult
Authors: Luciana Linny , Sukartini Ninik 
Published: July 2023

Hemoglobinopathy refers to a disease involving a qualitative or quantitative defect of the structure or synthesis of haemoglobin molecules. The HaemoglobinS- beta thalassemia occurs in a heterozygotes individual with beta-thalassemia and HaemoglobinS gene. A 29-year-old man came with severe anemia, thrombocytopenia, and history of repeated blood transfusions. Physical examination showed pale conjunctiva, pansystolic murmurs, and hepatosplenomegaly. The HaemoglobinS fraction was found in haemoglobin electrophoresis with increased HaemoglobinF and decreased HaemoglobinA2 fraction. The peripheral blood smear shows abnormal erythrocytes morphologies such as pencil shapes, fragmentocytes, target cells, and sickle shapes. The patient was diagnosed with chronic anaemia caused by HaemoglobinS-beta thalassemia. It makes ineffective erythropoiesis, intravascular, and extravascular hemolysis. This haemoglobinopathy caused increased ferritin and transferrin saturation. The presence of renal failure indicate there is a complicated condition like microvascular obstruction of renal. In this case, there is a reduction of HaemoglobinA2 fraction that is not common in HaemoglobinS-beta thalassemia. The patient with Haemoglobin S / beta+ thalassemia shows intravascular hemolysis, ineffective hematopoiesis, and vaso-occlusive signs. Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid analysis is further needed to confirm the combination defect of haemoglobin synthesis disorders in conjunction with alpha thalassemia or Hereditary persistence of fetal haemoglobin.

Published: July 2023

Nanopartikel seng oksida (Np-ZnO) merupakan bahan dalam semen gigi yang digunakan dalam menambal gigi berlubang akibat karies karena memiliki daya antibakteri yang sangat baik. Penyebab utama karies adalah Streptococcus mutans.Selain bakteri tersebut, Candida albicans juga diketahui memiliki peran dalam perkembangan Streptococcus mutans terhadap kejadian karies gigi, walaupun mekanismenya belum jelas diketahui. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan efektivitas daya antimikroba Np-ZnO pada Candida albicans dengan Streptococcus mutans. Penelitian ini akan menggunakan metode telaah sistematis dengan mengumpullkan berbagai jurnal dari berbagai database seperti: PubMed, Google Scholar,dan ProQuest dengan berfokus pada konsentrasi hambat minimum (KHM) maupun konsentrasi bunuh minimum (KBM) Np-ZnO pada kedua mikroorganisme tersebut. Berdasarkan 5 dari 2.764 jurnal yang ditemukan oleh tiga investigator dengan menggunakan PRISMA, didapatkan hasil konsentrasi Np-ZnO yang dibutuhkan dalam menghambat maupun membunuh Streptoccus mutans lebih kecil jika dibandingkan dengan Candida albicans, sehingga dapat disimpulkan Np-ZnO memiliki daya antimikroba yang lebih baik pada Streptococcus mutans. Meskipun demikian, partikel tersebut diketahui memiliki daya toksisitas yang relatif rendah sehingga dibutuhkan konsentrasi yang lebih tinggi untuk mengeliminasi Candida albicans.

Authors: Dr. Sara Khan  , Sumaira Saleem  , Dr. Saima Chattha  
Published: July 2023

The study is a political rhetorical analysis of the pre and post-election 2013 speeches of Imran Khan. The study explores the use of five canons of Aristotelian rhetoric i.e. Invention, Arrangement, Style, Delivery and Memory by the Pakistan politician. Also, the study presents a comparative analysis of the pre and post-election speeches. A total of 16 speeches of Imran Khan, 8 speeches from pre and post-election eras each were examined to collect data. The data was divided into both numerical and narrative data sets according to themes developed based on the Aristotelian Classical Theory of Rhetoric. The frequency count for the recurrent data was also evaluated to provide in-depth knowledge of the most recurring rhetorical device. In addition to frequency tables, the study was also illustrated with graphs to envision the reader with the graphical representation of the comparative analysis of the pre and post-election data. The analysis of the data exposes that Imran Khan effectively employed the canons of Classical Rhetoric. Imran Khan used Invention to construct arguments with assistance from the three modes of persuasion i.e. logos, ethos and pathos. From the analysis, it was exposed that Imran Khan used logos (logic) mostly to discover and present arguments both in Pre and Post-election speeches. The arrangement was used to organize the speech in a meaningful manner to intact the interests of the audience. The style was employed to intensify the integrity of the arguments presented. Moreover, the analysis revealed that among the stylistic devices, tropes were used most frequently by the speaker. The canon of delivery was employed to create speeches to be more effective for the listeners. The analysis of the speeches revealed that Imran Khan used falling and rising intonation to make his arguments sound like phenomena for his listeners. Lastly, the canon of memory showed that Imran Khan employed mnemonic devices to bring support to his arguments. The study's findings revealed that Imran Khan successfully employed Aristotelian Rhetoric to present his propositions attractively among his audiences. Keeping in view the limitations, the study nevertheless contributes to the teaching of the art of public speaking and inculcates the political figures of Pakistan to enhance their speech deliverance strategies.
Teneurs et flux de métaux toxiques dans l’Aulne : impact des activités minières historiques
Authors: GUERIN Camille , WAELES Matthieu , ROUGET Marie-Laure , BRIANT Nicolas 
Published: July 2023

Dans cette étude, nous avons quantifié les concentrations en métaux toxiques (Zn, Pb, Cd, Cu et As) dans les eaux de l’Aulne et de ses principaux affluents. L’objectif était de dresser un bilan actuel des flux dissous et particulaires à l’exutoire de l’Aulne et d’estimer la contribution des bassins drainant les anciens sites miniers de Huelgoat-Poullaouen. Nos résultats indiquent non seulement des concentrations importantes en Pb, Zn et Cd dans les affluents drainant les anciennes mines (rivière d’Argent et ruisseau de Poullaouen), mais aussi une contamination générale de l’Aulne en ces trois éléments, ce qui classe cette rivière parmi les plus polluées de France au même titre que le Lot. A contrario, nos résultats ne constatent pas d’anomalie marquée en Cu ou en As et les teneurs enregistrées pour ces deux métaux sont proches de celles trouvées pour d’autres systèmes drainant des bassins versants agricoles. Notre étude souligne également une contribution importante de petits cours d’eau aux flux globaux de certains métaux (par exemple, 15 % dans le cas du Poullaouen pour le Pb) et permet donc d’envisager un assainissement global de l’Aulne (et de la rade de Brest) via des actions prioritaires sur ces petits cours d’eau.

Authors: Dalimunthe Femmy Indriany 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT
This study aims to implement the concept of entrepreneurship through product-based learning tools for students majoring in hospitality at the Medan Tourism Polytechnic. Qualitative methods are used in this study using data from various literature and published documents within the last 10 years. The focus of implementing this entrepreneurship is limited to the hospitality department of the Medan Tourism Polytechnic which consists of five study programs, namely hotel management, room division, culinary arts, dish layout, and patisserie processing arts. This study emphasizes the importance of introducing entrepreneurship material to students as part of vocational education at the Medan Tourism Polytechnic. The aim is to provide knowledge about start-up businesses as well as skills in producing products that can be used as a basis for entrepreneurship or establishing a start-up company. Entrepreneurship courses taught are tailored to the specific graduate learning outcomes (CPL) of each study program, so that the material taught can be in accordance with the expertise and practical lectures received by students.
Entrepreneurship courses in the hospitality department are suggested to involve activities related to product-based entrepreneurship. The aim is to produce products that can be sold in accordance with the expertise and interests possessed by students. Thus, entrepreneurship lectures do not only study theory, but also produce entrepreneurship products that are in accordance with the knowledge and abilities of students. The implementation of the concept of entrepreneurship through product-based learning tools is expected to equip students with entrepreneurial skills that are practical and relevant to the hospitality industry. The Medan Tourism Polytechnic as a vocational education institution has an important role in producing graduates who are ready to become entrepreneurs and contribute to the development of the tourism and hospitality industry. In order to develop entrepreneurial skills, this research recommends close collaboration between the Medan Tourism Polytechnic and the local hospitality industry, as well as the use of supporting infrastructure and facilities for the development of entrepreneurial products and services by students. Thus, this research provides practical guidance in implementing the concept of entrepreneurship through product-based learning, particularly in the hospitality sector, and can serve as a reference for other educational institutions in developing entrepreneurship-oriented vocational education curricula.

Abstract
V503 Her was previously proposed as an eclipsing symbiotic candidate based on photometric behavior and spectroscopic appearance indicating the composite optical spectrum. To investigate its nature, we analyzed long-term photometric observations covering 100 yr of its photometric history and new low-resolution optical spectroscopic data, supplemented with the multifrequency measurements collected from several surveys and satellites. Based on the analysis presented in this paper, we claim that V503 Her is not an eclipsing binary star. The optical and infrared wavelengths are dominated by a K-type bright giant with an effective temperature of 4500 K, luminosity of 1900 L
⊙, and subsolar metallicity on the asymptotic giant branch showing semiregular complex multiperiodic pulsation behavior. V503 Her does not show the characteristics of strongly interacting symbiotic variables, but some pieces of evidence suggest that it could still be one of the “hidden” accreting-only symbiotic systems. However, the currently available data do not allow us to fully confirm or constrain the parameters of a possible companion.
The Hot Circumgalactic Medium of the Milky Way: New Insights from XMM-Newton Observations

Abstract
We present XMM-Newton observations around the sight line of Mrk 421. The emission spectrum of the Milky Way (MW) circumgalactic medium (CGM) shows that a two-phase model is a better fit to the data compared to a single-phase model; in addition to the warm-hot virial phase at log (T/K) = 6.30 ± 0.02, a hot super-virial phase at log (T/K) =

is required. Furthermore, we present observations of five fields within 5 degrees of the primary field. Their spectra also require a two-phase model at warm-hot and hot temperatures. The hot phase, which was first discovered in Das et al. in 2019, appears to be widespread. By chemical tagging, we show that the emission from the supevirial phase comes from the L-shell transitions of Fe xviii–Fe xxii, and that the range of temperatures probed in emission is distinct from that in absorption. We detect scatter in temperature and emission measure in both the phases, and deduce that there is small-scale density inhomogeneity in the MW CGM. The emitting gas likely has higher density, possibly from regions close to the disk of the MW, while the absorption in the virial phase may arise from low-density gas extended out to the virial radius of the MW. The presence of the super-virial phase far from the regions around the Galactic center implicates physical processes unrelated to the activity at the Galactic center. Hot outflows resulting from star formation activity throughout the Galactic disk are likely to be responsible for producing this phase.

Published: July 2023

Reptiles are considered an important element of Saudi Arabia’s wildlife to be conserved as a priority. However, the status and distribution of the Kingdom’s reptile fauna is not well understood, thus hindering the conservation initiatives. Better understanding of the taxonomy and distribution of the Kingdom’s reptile fauna is important for implementing effective conservation measures.
Here, we provide the new distribution record of Pristurus minimus (Arnold, 1977; common name, Arnold’s Gecko) from southern Saudi Arabia. The species was recorded from the Uruq Bani Ma'arid Protected Area (UBM) of southern Saudi Arabia. Four individuals were captured from different survey sites across the UBM and their species identification was confirmed through a mixture of physical and genetic examination. These results increase the number of species from the Pristurus genus to five for Saudi Arabia and improve the understanding of the Kingdom’s reptile fauna and its distribution.

Authors: Oosting Jan 
Published: July 2023

Background:
The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ+) community faces discrimination in health care. Nurses interact with LGBTQ+ individuals in a wide variety of health care settings. Baccalaureate nursing and health professions students do not receive adequate education on topics of LGBTQ+ health in academic or clinical settings, and additional nursing education is needed on LGBTQ+ health.

Method:
Existing courses were analyzed, and themes and structures were assessed. Course learning outcomes were developed, along with a timeline and a course outline. The course was structured as an asynchronous online course to be deployed in a learning management system.

Results:
A senior-level asynchronous online nursing elective course was developed on LGBTQ+ health for an urban public university. The course was structured using a life-span approach with additional topics.

Conclusion:

Widespread development of courses on LGBTQ+ health should be implemented in all schools of nursing.

Authors: Wilkie Misty L. , Martin Lisa , Peterson Barbara , Hanson Matt , Monsen Karen A. 
Published: July 2023

Background:
Indigenous nurses are underrepresented in the nursing workforce. Important strategies have been developed to increase the diversity of the future nursing workforce; however, unique cultural needs of Indigenous students must be addressed to provide holistic support while maintaining and strengthening cultural identity.

Method:
The Niganawenimaanaanig (We Take Care of Them) Indigenous Nursing Education Model was developed based on the Medicine Wheel and previous diverse nursing education models. This model supports the cultural, social, academic, and financial needs of Indigenous nursing students throughout recruitment, enrollment, retention, graduation, and licensure and specifies eight essential resources necessary for success.

Results:
Lessons learned from implementing the Niganawenimaanaanig Model are shared.

Conclusion:

The Niganawenimaanaanig Model may be employed in nursing schools to guide educators and universities in promoting the success of Indigenous nursing students.
