What would a Swedish mine be without a party? On metals, minerals, and love during the “green” transition: Climate propaganda in The Swedish Mine advertising campaign
Authors: Löfgren Isabel 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT
This article contributes to the growing field of critical studies about the visual politics of the green transition by highlighting the role of communication and the creative industries in promoting “green” ideologies. “The Swedish Mine” advocacy advertising campaign, launched in 2021, is presented as a case study to illustrate how lifestyle advertising genres are used to leverage the emotional engagement of progressive, mining-sceptical urban audiences to increase the social acceptance of intensified mining despite increasing climate awareness. Using visual culture studies, feminist, and critical race theory approaches to analyse the campaign materials, I explore how the campaign aestheticises “green” industrial progress by tokenising multiculturalism, fetishising consumption, and romancing national identity. As a counterpoint, I examine how social media reactions and activist responses illustrate tensions between mining acceptance and mining resistance in Swedish society. I conclude by positioning the campaign rhetoric in various forms of climate propaganda and highlighting the limits of the engineering of public consent for a “green” transition when such attempts use emotions as sites of “cognitive extraction” to cover technological and capitalist imperatives that ultimately promote Sweden as a leading mining nation.
Words that Matter: Donald Trump’s Twitter Communication in the Pre-COVID-19 Period
Authors: Baranowski Paweł , Matera Paulina 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The goal of this study was to test the result presented by Stolee and Caton (2018) that former President of the United States Donald Trump primarily addressed his devoted electorate via Twitter. In the empirical setup, we referred to the theoretical concepts of a politician’s base and of an ‘echo chamber’ and the theories of populist leaders’ communication. The regression techniques were applied to determine the relationship between the popularity, measured as the number of “favorites” and “retweets”, and the frequency of words representing 16 topics. The topics connected to Trump’s self-praise, critique of opponents, the issue of immigration, and dealings with rival countries increased the popularity of the tweets. Surprisingly, tweets including the topics connected to crucial issues for the American public did not attract much interest. These results are in line with the theory of Stolee and Caton and may indicate that followers were not interested in the substantive content of the President’s posts. The results also confirm our hypothesis that while Trump’s message had a populist character, he primarily addressed his devoted electorate, not the wider audience.

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare knee-related quality of life (QOL) between youth with and without an intra-articular, sport-related knee injury at baseline (≤4 months postinjury), 6-month, and 12-month follow-up, and assess the association between clinical outcomes and knee-related QOL. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. METHODS: We recruited 86 injured and 64 uninjured youth (similar age, sex, sport). Knee-related QOL was assessed with the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) QOL subscale. Linear mixed models (95% confidence interval [CI]; clustered on sex and sport) compared KOOS QOL between study groups over the study period, considering sex-based differences. We also explored the association of injury type (anterior cruciate ligament [ACL]/meniscus injury or other), knee extensor strength (dynamometry), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (accelerometer), intermittent knee pain (Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis Pain [ICOAP] measure), and fear of reinjury (17-item Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia) with knee-related QOL. RESULTS: Participant median (range) age was 16.4 (10.9-20.1) years, 67% were female, and 56% of injuries were ACL ruptures. Injured participants had lower mean KOOS QOL scores at baseline (−61.05; 95% CI: −67.56, −54.53), 6-month (−41.37; 95% CI: −47.94, −34.80), and 12-month (−33.34; 95% CI: −39.86, −26.82) follow-up, regardless of sex. Knee extensor strength (6- and 12-month follow-up), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (12-month follow-up), and ICOAP (all time points) were associated with KOOS QOL in injured youth. Additionally, having an ACL/meniscus injury and higher Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia scores were associated with worse KOOS QOL in injured youth. CONCLUSION: Youth with a sport-related knee injury have significant, persistent knee-related QOL deficits at 12-month follow-up. Knee extensor strength, physical activity, pain, and fear of reinjury may contribute to knee-related QOL. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2023;53(8):480-489.

Why Do European Buddhists Meditate? The Practical Problem of Inventing Global Buddhism
Authors: Cox Laurence 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Globalising “Buddhism” beyond its pre-colonial homelands was a complex practical challenge. Actors seeking to bring Buddhism to new audiences in very different cultures met with failure far more often than success until recent decades. Modern-era Buddhist missionaries to Europe had to experiment, selecting elements of Asian Buddhism that could theoretically be transmitted – ordinations, preaching, textual knowledge, rituals etc. – and attempt to institutionalise these as conversion mechanisms.
This article uses the lens of Irish and British converts and sympathisers in Asia and Europe in the late C19th and early C20th centuries to explore the European situation – one with fewer Asian missionaries and different relationships between society and religion than those in North America. It explores the sources of their various versions of Buddhism; their organising techniques and repertoires of “Buddhist” activity, their audiences and how they defined “Buddhism” in relation to politics, ethnicity and colonialism. It argues that meditation (and “practice”) became central to European Buddhism because it solved a crucial organisational problem: what could Buddhist globalisers offer to turn audiences into Buddhists?

INTRODUCTION: Curcuminoids and Oleic acid, reported in the literature as antioxidant and antitumor agents, were combined in nanoemulsion, using Pluronic F127 as a stabilizer.
METHODS: The main objective is to investigate its cytotoxic activity against cancer cells.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The nanoemulsion show values of the particle size (251.4 ± 4.6 nm), zeta potential (-34.8 ± 1.0 mV), and pH (4.8) classifying it as stable and non-irritating for pharmacological applications. The main results indicate that, in the toxicity test in fish (Zebrafish), the nanoformulation proved to be biosafe and the evaluation of the antioxidant action (by DPPH) showed excellent antioxidant activity. Furthermore, in the vitro cytotoxicity studies, the nanoemulsions showed good cytotoxic activity, ideal for fighting Colorectal, Glioblastoma, and Leukemia cancers and more effectively in Prostate cancer.
ЗНАЧЕННЯ ПАЛОМНИЦЬКИХ ПУТІВНИКІВ ЯК ЗАСОБУ КОМУНІКАЦІЇ ПІД ЧАС САКРАЛЬНИХ ПОДОРОЖЕЙ
Authors: Панченко Світлана 
Published: June 2023

У статті автор розглядає паломницькі путівники як форму комунікації під час здійснення сакральних подорожей. Розглядаються різні варіанти міжнародних путівників, наводяться приклади реальних мемуарів, ітінерарії із життя паломників, приклади інтерв’ю, щоденників. Вивчення цієї теми свідчить про її відношення до розвитку релігійного туризму на сучасних етапах і еволюціонування туристичної галузі з її інфраструктурою, об’єктами, стежками, шляхами, починаючи з пратуризму (паломництва). Автор наводить конкретні приклади, описи паломництв, пропонує розробити нові паломницькі маршрути шляхами святих апостолів, зосереджує увагу на комунікативній функції путівників. Також у науковій праці розглядається структура путівників, аналізується актуальність інформації щодо сакральних об’єктів, детально описуються художні твори про паломництва реальних особистостей, які здійснили і розповіли про свої манди на сторінках щоденників, мемуарів, путівників. Розповідається також про сакральні місця, де проповідували святі Апостоли і про значення цих шляхів, які користуються популярністю серед паломників, але не мають ніякої актуальної літератури у вигляді путівників для здійснення міжнародних мандрівок. Можливо вони десь і є, але не мають масового поширення і відкритого доступу, а інформація для паломника є досить специфічною і потребує детального вивчення. За допомогою сучасного паломництва, яке перетворилось завдяки розвиненій інфраструктурі і спрощеним шляхам до сакральних об’єктів, відбулась трансформація і у сфері описів цих подорожей. У цій науковій розвідці простежується також науковий шлях від першоджерел до сучасних творів, описів, мемуарів, щоденників. Тому, на думку автора, тема є досить актуальною, має логічне продовження від історії до сучасності і потребує детального вивчення з точки зору наукового паломництва, яке можна простежувати і аналізувати на прикладі спеціалізованої літератури. Тим паче ця тема користується попитом як у наукових колах так і у реальних сакральних мандрівках, які потім описують у своїх путівниках, щоденниках, романах, повістях реальні паломники.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the associations between breast cancer staging and body mass index (BMI), menopausal status, and family history of breast cancer, as well as to assess the expression of tumor markers in women with breast cancer in Brunei Darussalam. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out at The Brunei Cancer Centre. Cases of women with breast cancer between 2000 and 2013 were retrieved from the medical records section and entered into a clinical proforma. These were reviewed and analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. RESULTS: Overall, the mean age at diagnosis was 53.6 years ± 9.83. The postmenopausal women had a significantly higher risk of being diagnosed with late-onset breast cancer than premenopausal women (P = 0.022). The expressions of PR (P = 0.034), Her2 (P = 0.046), and CatD (P = 0.004) were significantly different in breast cancer staging. Other factors did not have a statistically-significant association with breast cancer staging. CONCLUSION: While most of the factors studied were not significantly different in breast cancer staging, our findings showed that it is recommended that high-risk women perform regular breast screening after the age of 40 years old. A future study highly appreciates comparing breast cancer risk factors among the Bruneian and Western populations.

BACKGROUND Summer pruning of kiwifruit has an important effect on fruit quality and storability. OBJECTIVE: The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of summer pruning time and severity on some quantitative and qualitative characteristics and storability of Hayward kiwifruit. METHODS: The present study was conducted to evaluate summer pruning time (one week after fruit set [1WAFS] and four weeks after fruit set [4WAFS]) and pruning severity (1 - no pruning [control], 2 - shoot pruning after the third or fourth leaf after the last fruit [common pruning], 3 - tip squeezing, and 4 - zero leaf pruning in 20% of fruit-bearing shoots with unlimited growth) on Hayward kiwifruit in 2020 and 2021. RESULTS: The results showed that, at harvest time, the highest average fruit weight and total acid were 124.00 g and 1.74% in the tip squeezing treatment observed in the 4WAFS pruning time in 2021. Zero leaf pruning produced fruits with the highest firmness and antioxidant capacity in 2020 and the highest vitamin C and total phenols in 2021. At the end of 90 days of cold storage, in the tip squeezing treatment, fruit firmness at 4WAFS pruning time was higher than in 1WAFS pruning time in the second year, and the highest antioxidant capacity was in 1WAFS pruning time in the first year. In the second year, the highest vitamin C, firmness, and dry matter were obtained in the zero leaf pruning treatment. In this treatment, the highest total phenols and antioxidant capacity were 133.96 mg GAE/100 g FW and 86.75%, respectively, observed in 4WAFS pruning time in the second year. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, tip squeezing and zero leaf pruning at the time of 4WAFS improved the quantitative and qualitative characteristics at the harvest and cold storage.

Relevance. The article is devoted to the study of the nutritional and energy value of feed from perennial rare silage crops — goatʼs rue eastern and pierced leaf sylphia, ways to improve the quality of their silage using low-cost methods of conservation.Methods. The research was carried out in 2019–2021 at the Gubino agricultural polygon of VNIIMZ (Tver region). Highly productive silage crops were studied: eastern goat, freshly mown eastern goat, plus meadow fescue (60:40%); eastern goat, plus pronzennolistnaya silfia (60:40%); eastern goat, slightly dried; pronzennolistnaya silfia; pronzennolistnaya silfia plus otava eastern goat (60:40%); corn plus from the eastern goat (60:40%); corn (control). The area of the experiment is 6.1 hectares, the placement of options is randomized, in three tiers, the repetition is three-fold, the use is twoaxis.Results. The preparation of high-quality silage from perennial, uncommon silage crops requires special technological methods: the choice of the vegetation phase in which the culture has the optimal ratio of nutrients, the use of carbohydrate additives, and wilting of the mass. In the course of the research, silage samples from all varieties of crops and grass mixtures were analyzed in a comparative aspect. It was found that the total content of organic acids in the silage was high (1.68– 3.22%). Lactic acid fermentation prevailed in all variants, which ensured the production of silage of the 1st class. The largest share of lactic acid (more than 80%) falls on silage from the eastern goat, silfia pronzennolistnaya and corn. The concentration of the exchange energy was highest in the silage from the eastern goat (11.8 MJ/kg), a mixture of goat and meadow fescue (11.1 MJ/kg), silfia pronzennolistnaya (10.9 MJ/kg) and the joint silage of the silfia with the otava of the goat (10.8 MJ/kg) of dry matter (SV), respectively (the significance of the differences is p < 0.05).

Volunteer service is a continuous effort in contributing towards the development and prosperity of a country. It begins with an interest that is mobilized individually or in groups to meet the social challenges of society. However, the study of volunteer service in the field of Islamic preaching to people with disabilities is poorly studied. Therefore, this study focuses on the literature related to the factors of volunteer service involvement in previous studies and then it will integrate the findings of previous studies to explore the volunteer services of da’wah to people with disabilities to be studied. This qualitative research method applies the design of document analysis and guided by systematic literature review (SLR) as a basis. The results show that there are certain factors that contribute to the engagement in volunteer service. The findings show the previous studies focus more on community social services rather than da’wah for people with disabilities. Therefore, the study of volunteer services and da’wah for people with disabilities should be highlighted to encourage community members to aware, care, take responsible towards humanity including special needs.Abstrak
Khidmat kesukarelawanan merupakan suatu usaha berterusan yang menyumbang ke arah pembangunan dan kesejahteraan sesebuah negara. Ia bermula dengan minat yang digerakkan secara individu atau berkumpulan bagi mendepani cabaran sosial masyarakat. Namun begitu, kajian khidmat sukarelawan dalam bidang Dakwah OKU amat kurang dikaji. Oleh itu, kajian ini memfokuskan kepada literatur berkaitan faktor-faktor penglibatan khidmat kesukarelawanan dalam kajian terdahulu dan seterusnya ia akan mengintegrasikan penemuan kajian lepas bagi meneroka khidmat kesukarelawanan Dakwah OKU untuk dikaji. Metode kajian kualitatif ini menerapkan reka bentuk analisis dokumen dan berpandukan tinjauan literatur sistematik sebagai landasan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa terdapat faktor-faktor tertentu seseorang individu melibatkan diri dalam khidmat kesukarelawanan. Dapatan juga menunjukkan bahawa kajian-kajian lepas lebih menumpukan khidmat sosial masyarakat selain Dakwah OKU. Oleh yang demikian, kajian khidmat kesukarelawanan yang memfokuskan kepada Dakwah OKU wajar diketengahkan seterusnya berupaya mewujudkan anggota masyarakat yang penyayang, bertanggungjawab serta tidak mementingkan diri sendiri bukan hanya kepada golongan tipikal bahkan juga kepada komuniti OKU.

Published: June 2023

IntroductionThe present study aimed to optimize the doses and schedule of specific bacteriophage cocktails in freshwater fish infections as prophylactic and therapeutic measures.MethodsThe three most active phages against Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) (φAHBHU12, φAHBHU16, and φAHBHU19) were characterized phenotypically and genotypically. Intramuscular and water immersion routes were used to calculate the absolute lethal dose of A. hydrophila in Pangasius buchanani. Phage therapy was given simultaneously and after 6, 12, and 24 h of bacterial challenge through intramuscular and water immersion routes.ResultsThe prophylactic and early phage administration could save the fish. Furthermore, the dose of intramuscular 1.0 × 104 plaque-forming unit (PFU)/fish and water immersion 1.0 × 106 PFU mL–1 of the phage cocktail was optimal.DiscussionThe efficacy of bacteriophage therapy as preventive or curative measures practical when administered simultaneously or early hours of A. hydrophila infection in aquaculture systems. Phage-based approaches may be used as an alternative to antibiotics in aquaculture to reduce antibiotic use as a part of the “One Health” approach.

Introduction: Heart failure due to myocardial infarction is a progressive and debilitating condition, affecting millions worldwide. Novel treatment strategies are desperately needed to minimise cardiomyocyte damage after myocardial infarction and to promote repair and regeneration of the injured heart muscle. Plasma polymerized nanoparticles (PPN) are a new class of nanocarriers which allow for a facile, one-step functionalization with molecular cargo.Methods: Here, we conjugated platelet-derived growth factor AB (PDGF-AB) to PPN, engineering a stable nano-formulation, as demonstrated by optimal hydrodynamic parameters, including hydrodynamic size distribution, polydisperse index (PDI) and zeta potential, and further demonstrated safety and bioactivity in vitro and in vivo. We delivered PPN-PDGF-AB to human cardiac cells and directly to the injured rodent heart.Results: We found no evidence of cytotoxicity after delivery of PPN or PPN-PDGFAB to cardiomyocytes in vitro, as determined through viability and mitochondrial membrane potential assays. We then measured contractile amplitude of human stem cell derived cardiomyocytes and found no detrimental effect of PPN on cardiomyocyte contractility. We also confirmed that PDGF-AB remains functional when bound to PPN, with PDGF receptor alpha positive human coronary artery vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac fibroblasts demonstrating migratory and phenotypic responses to PPN-PDGF-AB in the same manner as to unbound PDGF-AB. In our rodent model of PPN-PDGF-AB treatment after myocardial infarction, we found a modest improvement in cardiac function in PPN-PDGF-AB treated hearts compared to those treated with PPN, although this was not accompanied by changes in infarct scar size, scar composition, or border zone vessel density.Discussion: These results demonstrate safety and feasibility of the PPN platform for delivery of therapeutics directly to the myocardium. Future work will optimize PPN-PDGF-AB formulations for systemic delivery, including effective dosage and timing to enhance efficacy and bioavailability, and ultimately improve the therapeutic benefits of PDGF-AB in the treatment of heart failure cause by myocardial infarction.
