Digitally facilitated economic abuse in the age of digital financial services – new risks for economic abuse in intimate partner violence
Authors: Nyman Charlott , Evertsson Lars , Henrikson Ann-Sofie 
Published: August 2023

The aim is to show how digital financial services are used to perpetrate digitally facilitated economic abuse. The article is based on interviews with women in Sweden who are survivors of intimate partner violence and economic abuse.
The use of digital financial services is rapidly expanding and in Sweden they are used by the majority of the population. They are available on smart devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops and have become a part of everyday life. Research on technology facilitated abuse and research on economic abuse have not addressed the risks for economic abuse via digital financial services. To bridge this gap, we suggest a merging of these fields to focus on what we call digitally facilitated economic abuse.
Findings show that digital financial services constitute risks for economic abuse and facilitate abusive behaviours. Smart devices serve as digital bank books, wallets and identity cards, all rolled into one neat little package, opening up for new methods for economic abuse. Abusers use digital financial services to limit and restrict the woman’s access to money, to monitor and control her use of money by breaching her financial privacy, to economically exploit her and to put her in debt.

Authors: Ayu Nurina , Kresnasari Dewi 
Published: August 2023

Benzalkonium klorida (BAC) mengalami peningkatan penggunaan setelah pandemi Covid-19, namun penggunaan senyawa ini belum teregulasi secara intensif sehingga eksistensinya di perairan umum berpotensi menjadi ancaman serius bagi ekosistem. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji konsentrasi BAC di Segara Anakan sebagai salah satu ekosistem yang mendapat masukan dari aliran-aliran sungai di mana terdapat banyak aktivitas manusia. Pengambilan sampel air dilakukan menggunakan metode purposive random sampling pada lima lokasi di Segara Anakan dengan kriteria yaitu: lokasi yang dekat dengan aktivitas domestik penduduk, lokasi yang jauh dari aktivitas domestik penduduk (termasuk yang dikelilingi oleh hutan mangrove), lokasi di sekitar kawasan industri, serta lokasi dengan limpasan air tawar atau muara sungai. Kisaran BAC yang ditemukan pada kolom air permukaan Segara Anakan dari Stasiun 1 hingga 5 adalah 0,139 µg/l, 0,235 µg/l, 0,189 µg/l, 0,206 µg/l, dan 0,245 µg/l. Sedangkan konsentrasi pada kolom air di permukaan dasar dari Stasiun 1 hingga 5 adalah 0,126 µg/l, 0,222 µg/l, 0,196 µg/l, 0,175 µg/l, dan 0,241 µg/l. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa BAC merupakan mikropolutan yang ditemukan di perairan Segara Anakan Cilacap. Konsentrasi BAC yang ditemukan juga dipengaruhi oleh nilai parameter fisikokimiawi perairan. The use of benzalkonium chloride (BAC) has been increasing after the Covid-19 pandemic, but there are still no intensive regulation about the utilization of of this compound so that its presence in public waters has the potential to become a serious threat to ecosystems. This study aimed to examine the concentration of BAC in Segara Anakan as an ecosystem that receives input from rivers contaminated by domestic waste as a result of human activities. Water samples were taken using a purposive random sampling method at five locations in Segara Anakan with the following criteria: locations close to the domestic activities, locations far from domestic activities (including those surrounded by mangrove forests), locations around industrial areas, and locations with fresh water or river estuary runoff. The BAC concentration in the Segara Anakan surface water column from Stations 1 to 5 were 0.139 µg/l, 0.235 µg/l, 0.189 µg/l, 0.206 µg/l, and 0.245 µg/l, respectively. Meanwhile, the concentrations in the water column at the bottom surface from Stations 1 to 5 were 0.126 µg/l, 0.222 µg/l, 0.196 µg/l, 0.175 µg/l, and 0.241 µg/l, respectively. The results showed that BAC was a micropollutant found in the waters of Segara Anakan Cilacap. The concentrations were also influenced by the physicochemical parameter values of the waters.
Islamic and Conventional Banks an Analogy: Relationship Between Capital, Risk and Efficiency
Authors: Azeem Muhammad 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Does inefficiency interrelate with more risk? Is there any real distinction between traditional (interest based) and Islamic banks (non-interest based) as far as efficiency and risk taking concern? The purpose of this research is to answer these inquiries with regards to Pakistan. A few studies tried to analyze the performance of traditional and Islamic banking, but, no study specifically examines the trio between bank’s risk, capital and efficiency in Pakistan. By doing so the date has been extracted from the audited annual reports of concerned banks. Additionally, sophisticated statistical techniques applied to drew valid estimations such as; Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) respectively. Moreover, the outcomes indicate that Islamic banks are highly effective in cost control as compared to traditional banks. Furthermore, the estimations of SUR establish the interrelation among efficiency and capital for Islamic banks only. Precisely, enhanced risk reduces capital and efficiency of Islamic banks, whereas the dynamic of traditional banks are different.

Abstract
This research aimed to prepare and characterize a new type of polymeric cross-linked topical hydrogel patches for the treatment of wound infections. The free radical polymerization method was used to prepare the topical hydrogel patches by utilizing natural polymers, i.e., agarose and gelatin. These natural polymers were chemically cross-linked with monomer (acrylic acid) using ammonium persulfate as an initiator via the cross-linker N,N methylene bisacrylamide. An antibiotic, i.e., gentamicin sulfate was loaded into a designed polymeric system. The polymeric cross-linked topical hydrogel patches were made in a spherical shape, which was revealed to be stable and elastic. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray powder diffraction investigation were used to characterize the topical hydrogel patches. Polymeric cross-linked hydrogel patches were evaluated for their sol–gel analysis, swelling studies, in vitro drug release studies against pH 5.5, 6.5, and 7.4, ex vivo drug permeation, and the deposition study on the rabbit’s skin by using a Franz diffusion cell. In addition, the skin irritation study and wound healing performance of drug-loaded topical patches were also assessed and compared to commercially available formulations. The topical hydrogel patches were found to be non-irritating to the skin for up to 72 h as determined by a Draize patch test and when compared to marketed formulations, these topical patches resulted in faster wound healing. The prepared formulation showed promising potential for the treatment of skin wound infection.
Detection of a 7SL RNA-derived small non-coding RNA using Molecular Beacons in vitro and in cells
Authors: Weigert Nina , Schweiger Anna-Lena , Gross Jonas , Matthes Marie , Corbacioglu Selim , Sommer Gunhild , Heise Tilman 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNA) are involved in many steps of the gene expression cascade and regulate processing and expression of mRNAs by the formation of ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNP) such as the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). By analyzing small RNA Seq data sets, we identified a sncRNA annotated as piR-hsa-1254, which is likely derived from the 3′-end of 7SL RNA2 (RN7SL2), herein referred to as snc7SL RNA. The 7SL RNA is an abundant long non-coding RNA polymerase III transcript and serves as structural component of the cytoplasmic signal recognition particle (SRP). To evaluate a potential functional role of snc7SL RNA, we aimed to define its cellular localization by live cell imaging. Therefore, a Molecular Beacon (MB)-based method was established to compare the subcellular localization of snc7SL RNA with its precursor 7SL RNA. We designed and characterized several MBs in vitro and tested those by live cell fluorescence microscopy. Using a multiplex approach, we show that 7SL RNA localizes mainly to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), as expected for the SRP, whereas snc7SL RNA predominately localizes to the nucleus. This finding suggests a fundamentally different function of 7SL RNA and its derivate snc7SL RNA.
Relationship between vitamin D deficiency and neonatal hypocalcemia: a meta-analysis
Authors: Li Ruihan , Han Aojing , Hu Qilin , Liang Wei 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
We aimed to explore the associations of neonatal hypocalcemia with neonatal vitamin D deficiency and maternal vitamin D deficiency. A comprehensive systematic literature search using PubMed and web of science was performed for relevant articles from inception to February 17th, 2023. We used odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) as effect sizes for our meta-analysis. Publication bias was evaluated using funnel plot, Begg’s test, and Egger regression test. All the statistical analyses were performed using Stata 14.0. A total of 11 studies were included and analyzed, including 452 newborns with hypocalcemia and 2,599 newborns with normal serum calcium level. Our research results revealed that vitamin D deficiency in newborns may be related to the higher prevalence of hypocalcemia (OR: 2.87, 95 % CI: 1.17–7.04). In addition, maternal vitamin D deficiency might also be a risk factor for neonatal hypocalcemia (OR: 7.83, 95 % CI: 3.62–16.92). There was a significant correlation between vitamin D deficiency and neonatal hypocalcemia.This meta-analysis indicates that newborns with vitamin D deficiency have a higher risk of hypocalcemia, and maternal vitamin D level play a crucial role in this association. Vitamin D supplementation may have a positive effect in reducing the prevalence of neonatal hypocalcemia.
Burden Sharing During MINUSMA, Fair Enough? A Preliminary Descriptive Account
Authors: Wierenga Michiel , Bogers Marion , Beeres Robert , Bollen Myriame 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
By offering a comprehensive insight into the burden sharing behavior of states contributing to the MINUSMA peacekeeping mission, this paper contributes to the growing literature on burden sharing during specific crisis response operations. Three fairness principles (i.e. equality, equity and exemption) are applied to present an inclusive view on how burden sharing evolves. We find proximity to serve as a paramount motivation to contribute to the mission. As compared to advanced states, low income developing countries both deployed most troops to MINUSMA and were overrepresented in Mali’s most dangerous areas. The highest troop contributing countries have been compensated financially and advanced economies provided the financial and technical means.
Chaotic dynamics of an extended Duffing-van der Pol system with a non-smooth perturbation and parametric excitation
Authors: Hu Sengen , Zhou Liangqiang 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chaotic dynamics of a fifth-order extended Duffing-van der Pol system with a non-smooth periodic perturbation and parametric excitation are investigated both analytically and numerically in this paper. With the Fourier series, the system is expanded to the equivalent smooth system. The Melnikov perturbation method is used to derive the horseshoe chaos condition in the cases of homoclinic and heteroclinic intersections. The chaotic features for different system parameters are investigated in detail. The monotonic variation of the coefficients of parametric excitation and non-smooth periodic disturbance is found. With numerical methods, we validate the analytical results obtained by Melnikov’s method. The impact of initial conditions is carefully analyzed by basins of attraction and the effect of non-smooth periodic disturbance on the basin of attraction is also investigated. Besides, the effect of different parameters on the bifurcation pathway into chaotic attractors is examined.

Authors: Phalgune Deepak , Mahadik Shripad , Sushmitha K  
Published: August 2023

Abdominoplasty is generally performed with admission of the patient for one night. It is a usual beautifying technique. It is reported that abdominoplasty can cause death and morbidity. For performing abdominoplasty numerous anaesthesia techniques are reported. Morbidly obese patients with compromised heart ailment undergoing abdominoplasty pose exceptional challenges to the anaesthesiologist. It is necessary to use the anaesthetic procedure such that it causes minimal haemodynamic instabilities with supreme safety for the patient. In this case report a 53-year-old male, morbidly obese patient with a body mass index (BMI) of 43.8 Kg/m, belonging to American Society of Anaesthesiologist (ASA) grade IV, and overhanging abdomen till the level of knee, with ventricular bigeminy, severe pulmonary hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea and chronic kidney disease is described. Abdominoplasty of this patient was performed under combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia. The implications of combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia were that the hemodynamic parameters such as heart rate, respiratory rate, non-invasive blood pressure, SpO2 were stable during the procedure and no complications were observed post-operatively. The results were excellent with speedy recovery.

Self-assessed health of adult Australian sport club participants during and after COVID- 19 restrictions: a longitudinal study
Authors: Eime Rochelle , Harvey Jack , Charity Melanie 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

Background: Internationally, COVID-19 restrictions impacted negatively on participation in sport and physical activity. Participation in community club sport was particularly disrupted with cancelled training and competitions, and this has been shown to impact the health of individuals. We now need to investigate the effects of the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions.
Aim: The aim of this study was to longitudinally investigate the health of Australian adult sports club participants, during and post-COVID-19 restrictions.
Methods: Two waves of an online survey were conducted in mid-2020 and mid-2021. The first wave also captured retrospective pre-COVID19 (2019) data. For each year 2019-2021 each survey respondent was categorized as participating (Yes/No) in club sport. Respondents also assessed their current health (overall, physical and mental) in both 2020 and 2021. The six health assessments were cross-tabulated against three patterns of participation (dropout, dropout and return, continuation), for the survey sample overall and for six demographic subsamples: 42 crosstabulations in all.
Results: A total of 1,037 Australians aged 18 years and above completed both survey waves. Those who continued playing club sport throughout, and to a lesser degree those who returned to club sport in 2021, reported better physical and general health than those who dropped out. This pattern was consistent, for the overall survey sample and for the sub-samples based on gender, age and region of residence, with statistically significantly associations (p<0.05) in 24 of 28 analyses. The pattern of club sport participation was only weakly associated with reported mental health, with only one of 14 associations being statistically significant.
Conclusion: Changes in club sport participation impact general and physical health of adults; continuation or return were associated with better physical and general health than drop-out. There was little evidence of an association between participation in sport and mental health, which is inconsistent with previously reported cross-sectional results; this may be due to a combination of factors, including confounding with the broader effects of the pandemic. In conclusion, it is clear that retention in participation in sport is not just important for sports management policy and strategies; it is also important for the health of individuals.

Abstract
Due to their established roles in tumor progression and therapy resistance, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are considered key therapeutic targets. However, a lack of pre-clinical models has hampered the functional characterization of tumor-promoting versus tumor-suppressive CAF substates, a priori for the development of CAF-targeted therapeutics. We describe and cross-validate a biobank of primary human prostate inflammatory (iCAFs) and myofibroblastic (myCAFs) CAFs that closely recapitulate fibroblast heterogeneity in clinical prostate cancer (PCa) and retain key functional hallmarks pertinent to their CAF substate. iCAFs and myCAFs coexisted in clinical specimens but localized to distinct spatial niches and differentially expressed androgen receptor (AR). Pro-migratory AR-negative myCAFs retained high plasticity in a biomechanical-sensitive manner and were associated with hallmarks of poor outcome. Consistently, myCAFs represented the dominant CAF subpopulation in fibroblast-rich high-grade PCa and castration-resistant patient-derived xenografts. Conversely, AR-positive iCAFs were associated with a favorable prognosis. In view of the androgen-dependent but tumor-suppressive nature of parenchymal smooth muscle cells, these findings imply the potential inadvertent ablation of protective AR+ stromal cell types during androgen deprivation therapy may favor accumulation of aggressive AR-negative/castration-resistant myCAFs. The CAF biobank generated herein thus represents a valuable experimentally-tractable tool for the future design of CAF-targeted therapeutics to overcome therapy resistance.
The representation of EFL context-based cultures in an international EYL textbook
Authors: Nurhayati Lusi , Triastuti Anita , Widodo Pratomo 
Published: August 2023

The present content analysis study intended to investigate the cultural contents of an international EYL textbook used in Indonesian private elementary schools. It examined the representation of cultural themes categorized under the big "C" and small "c" cultures and the representation of EFL context-based/Indonesian cultures in each theme. The findings of the study revealed that (1) the book covered all themes, but their representation is not balanced; (2) some aspects of local cultures were represented in the books, but the number was very limited and less varied. The implication of this study suggests that the international EYL textbook should allocate adequate space for local culture. Hence, this could be seen as an opportunity for EYL teachers and practitioners to use their authority and to empower themselves by providing supplementary materials that best suit their local needs. Keywords: culture, themes, local, representation, international, EYL textbook
