Islam and Hegemony of Local Culture
Authors: Badrun Badrun 
Published: December 2022

A global world is a paradoxical world, just like a "double-edged sword". On the one hand, globalization offers a variety of ease of life. On the other hand, it carries risks that threaten the existence of human life. It also imposes a universal culture which implies a general view that the presence of culture is always inseparable from humanity and the general acceptance of values, beliefs, orientations, and institutions by mankind around the world. However, the so-called universal culture is nothing but the West because the West, with all its superiority, is most likely to claim itself as the representation of universal civilization. When civilization is fully controlled by the West, there is a psychological burden for Islam. Islam as a force that had been a superpower of the world for approximately 12 centuries might feel uncomfortable to be the underdog. This situation has made Muslims aspire to get out of colonialism and Western hegemony. There are two responses that arise: a strong desire to re-excel in all aspects such as science, technology, politics, economy, military, etc. on the one hand, and deep hatred towards the West one the other hand. It is this latter which may have spawned terrorism that is being countered by international communities, mainly Western nations.

Abstract
The effect of rare earth Y on precipitates and textures of the grain-oriented silicon steels, the composition, morphology, size, quantity of inclusions and texture evolution of hot-rolled and cold-rolled oriented silicon steel containing rare earth Y were studied using transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope, and electron backscatter diffraction. The results show that there are mainly spherical or ellipsoidal Y2O2S precipitates in the Y bearing silicon steel. Rare earth treatment effectively improves the precipitates’ morphology and restrains the precipitation of the long-strip MnS in the hot-rolled plate. Meanwhile, the microstructure is more uniform, and the recrystallized grains on the surface and the fiber structure in the central layer are larger after hot rolling compared with Y-free steel. Furthermore, with the addition of rare earth Y, the unfavorable brass texture and rotational cube texture in the hot-rolled plate are reduced. Meanwhile, the number of shear bands is increased and the strength of the favorable {111} 〈112〉 texture is improved in the cold-rolled plate, which helps develop the Goss texture during the annealing process.

Abstract
The fluid in the reactor can be poorly mixed, so an eccentric impeller is proposed to improve the fluid mixing efficiency. In this investigation, numerical simulations and cadmium removal experiments for the purification of zinc sulfate solution were conducted. The effect of eccentric impellers on the purification efficiency was discussed. The mechanism of the effect of concentric and eccentric arrangement of stirring impellers on mixing in the stirred tank was elucidated. The results showed that the average axial velocity of the eccentric impeller stirring system (EIS) was 131.52% of that of the concentric stirring system (CS) and 134.23% of that of the eccentric stirring system (ES). In the purification and removal of cadmium in the zinc hydrometallurgy experiment, unit ion purification energy was introduced to quantify the energy consumed for each 1% of Cd2+ removed. The eccentric impeller shortens the reaction time by 40% and reduces the reaction energy consumption by 31.8% compared to the non-eccentric impeller. Compared to CS and ES, EIS disrupts the periodicity of fluid flow and facilitates the destruction of isolated mixing regions. EIS can enhance mechanical stirring to improve purification efficiency.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
As the final stage of the mixing process, the final mixing has a profound impact on the properties of rubber compounds. The influence of the process parameters of a continuous final mixer on the properties of carbon black/rubber composites is studied. It is found that there are two factors affecting the performance of the composite: the rotating speed of the dual rotors and the temperature of the continuous final mixer. When the temperature is unchanged, the extruding temperature of the final-mixing rubber compound increases with increasing rotating speed, and the Mooney viscosity, T10, T90 and rolling resistance gradually decrease. The Payne effect decreases first and then increases, and the overall trend gradually decreases. When the rotating speed is constant, as the temperature of the continuous final mixer rises, the extruding temperature also rises, and the temperature difference between feeding and extruding increases. Mooney viscosity and tensile strength increase. The Payne effect is more significant. T10, T90 and rolling resistance gradually decrease. The M300 of a vulcanized sample shows the following laws: When the control temperature is low, the influence of rotational speed is small, the fluctuation range is small, and has a steady rising trend; however, when the temperature is higher, M300 fluctuates greatly under the influence of rotational speed. The optimal process parameters of the rubber continuous final mixer are determined: the double rotor speed is 30RPM, and the temperature control temperature is 60–70 °C.

Authors: Li Mingyue , Hennebry-Leung Mairin 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis study investigates the differential effects of monolingual (L1 or L2) and bilingual (L1+L2) subtitles on students’ receptive vocabulary acquisition. In light of the widespread use of bilingual subtitles in videos in language classrooms with limited supportive literature available, this study aims at examining the pedagogical effects of bilingual subtitles on receptive vocabulary acquisition in the L2 classroom. A seven-week quasi-experimental study was conducted among four year-3 English-major classes in a Chinese university: three treatment groups and one control group. Adopting a counterbalanced design, students in the treatment classes were exposed to three types of subtitles within three videos. They were then tested on recall and recognition of the vocabulary target items encountered in the videos. The results demonstrate a significant advantage for bilingual subtitling in videos in terms of students’ vocabulary recognition and recall at post-test, and this advantage is maintained at the delayed post-test. Implications of the study are discussed in the context of current pedagogical practices such as a wider L1 use in the L2 classrooms.
Experimental investigation on the influence of partially stabilised nano-ZrO2 on the properties of prepared clay-based refractory mortar
Authors: Jawad Saba I. , Omar Mustafa H. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Buildings subjected to elevated temperatures or thermal shock can be exposed to many changes in their properties, such as phase transformation and weight loss; therefore, the thermomechanical stability of mortars is essential to maintain their properties. In this work, different ratios of partially stabilised nano-zirconium oxide (ZrO2) were used as a partial replacement by weight of kaolin to prepare a refractory mortar. Five ratios (5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, and 15%) of ZrO2, as well as unfired kaolin, water, and internal lubricant (potassium silicate) were applied to increase the specimen’s cohesion. The results showed that ZrO2 additives are suitable to be used for the production of refractory mortar as a result of increased physical and mechanical strength.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Bifidobacterium lactis Probio-M8 on glucolipid metabolism and gut microbiota (GM) composition in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mice. The glucolipid metabolic profiles were analyzed. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing was employed to investigate GM. The levels of farnesyl X receptor (FXR) and cytochrome p450 7A1 (CYP7A1) were detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot assays. The total bile acids (TBAs), ceramide (CE), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-15 were also detected. The morphological features of liver and pancreas were also analyzed. Compared with the model group, Probio-M8 restored body weight, food intake and water intake, as well as improved hyperglycemia symptoms, serum glucolipid parameters, and the composition of intestinal microbes in T2DM diabetic mice. Moreover, the reduced level of FXR and the increased level of CYP7A1 in T2DM mice were reversed by Probio-M8 treatment. The increased levels of TBA and CE and the reduced levels of GLP-1 and FGF-15 in T2DM mice were altered after Probio-M8 stimulation. Besides, the altered morphology of liver and ileum in T2DM mice was alleviated by Probio-M8 treatment. Taken together, we suggested that the symptoms of T2DM could be ameliorated by Probio-M8 in T2DM mice.

Authors: Mfadel Ali El , Melliani Said , Kassidi Abderrazak , Elomari M’hamed 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The main crux of this manuscript is to establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions for nonlocal fractional evolution equations involving ψ−Caputo fractional derivatives of an arbitrary order α ∈ (0, 1) with nondense domain. The mild solutions of our proposed model are constructed by employing generalized ψ−Laplace transform and some new density functions. The proofs are based on Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem and some basic techniques of ψ−fractional calculus. As application, a nontrivial example is given to illustrate our theoritical results.

Abstract
Fused deposition modelling is known for its ability to customise materials at peak performance for instant use but lacks in terms of interfacial adhesion of layup sequences. Hence, the mechanism of acquiring excellent interfacial adhesion, mainly via dried-up printed sample, has been discovered, resulting in the proper bonding formation upon layers. Result reveals that the flexural strength increased by 23% under 70°C drying conditions (5 h) and the impact strength increased by 240% compared to pure polyamide. This mechanism resists the deformation growth between the layers and enhances the mechanical strength at the highest level.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The use of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) containers, a recent shift in the beverage industry, poses new potential human health concerns including contamination from the original container; use of additives, detergents, and catalysts during recycling; and improper recycling practices. The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate available data regarding: (1) chemicals leached from PET and rPET in bottle form; (2) concentration of these chemicals; and (3) trends between rPET percent and concentration of chemicals leached. This analysis identified 211 scientific articles related to recycled plastic and leachables. Three articles met the inclusion criteria: (1) plastic was in bottle form; (2) plastic was made of PET or rPET; and (3) the study analyzed both PET and rPET using the same methods. This evaluation demonstrated that only nine compounds – benzene, styrene, acetaldehyde, 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane, furan, bisphenol A (BPA), 2-buta-none, acetone, and limonene – have been studied. Notably, the leachable concentration of benzene, styrene, and BPA increased as the percent of recycled content increased from 0 to 100%. However, 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane and furan implied a reverse trend, where the leachable concentration decreased as the percent of recycled content increased from 0 to 100%. The concentrations of 2-butanone, acetone, and limonene did not follow any suggested trend. Evidently, recycling PET can lead to changes in the leachables profile. This analysis further identified key areas of research, including testing a variety of liquid types, that need to be addressed to adequately conduct a human health risk assessment.

Published: December 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Patients with somatoform disorders often experience loneliness. They feel misunderstood and socially rejected. Whereas loneliness is related to several medical conditions, social support can minimize loneliness. In the current study, differences in loneliness and the evaluation of social support between patients with Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD) and healthy controls were investigated using standardized questionnaires. In addition, the relation between loneliness and somatic symptoms was investigated.

Methods
In a cross-sectional study design, a group of patients with SSD (n=75) was compared to a healthy control group (n=112). It was hypothesized that [1] patients with SSD experience more loneliness and evaluate their social support more negatively than healthy controls and [2] loneliness will correlate positively with experienced somatic symptoms.

Results
In comparison to healthy controls, patients with SSD experienced more loneliness and their evaluation of social support was more negative. In addition, loneliness correlated positively with the degree of experienced somatic symptoms.

Conclusions
Patients with SSD experienced lower social support, more loneliness, and across the two groups loneliness was positively associated with somatic symptoms. Effect sizes were all large. Therefore, these results may have implications for the treatment of SSD.

AbstractBat‐origin RshSTT182 and RshSTT200 coronaviruses (CoV) from Rhinolophus shameli in Southeast Asia (Cambodia) share 92.6% whole‐genome identity with SARS‐CoV‐2 and show identical receptor‐binding domains (RBDs). In this study, we determined the structure of the RshSTT182/200 receptor binding domain (RBD) in complex with human angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) and identified the key residues that influence receptor binding. The binding of the RshSTT182/200 RBD to ACE2 orthologs from 39 animal species, including 18 bat species, was used to evaluate its host range. The RshSTT182/200 RBD broadly recognized 21 of 39 ACE2 orthologs, although its binding affinities for the orthologs were weaker than those of the RBD of SARS‐CoV‐2. Furthermore, RshSTT182 pseudovirus could utilize human, fox, and Rhinolophus affinis ACE2 receptors for cell entry. Moreover, we found that SARS‐CoV‐2 induces cross‐neutralizing antibodies against RshSTT182 pseudovirus. Taken together, these findings indicate that RshSTT182/200 can potentially infect susceptible animals, but requires further evolution to obtain strong interspecies transmission abilities like SARS‐CoV‐2.

AbstractMacrophages are key cells after tissue damage since they mediate both acute inflammatory phase and regenerative inflammation by shifting from pro‐inflammatory to restorative cells. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the most potent anti‐inflammatory hormone in clinical use, still their actions on macrophages are not fully understood. We show that the metabolic sensor AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) is required for GCs to induce restorative macrophages. GC Dexamethasone activates AMPK in macrophages and GC receptor (GR) phosphorylation is decreased in AMPK‐deficient macrophages. Loss of AMPK in macrophages abrogates the GC‐induced acquisition of their repair phenotype and impairs GC‐induced resolution of inflammation in vivo during post‐injury muscle regeneration and acute lung injury. Mechanistically, two categories of genes are impacted by GC treatment in macrophages. Firstly, canonical cytokine regulation by GCs is not affected by AMPK loss. Secondly, AMPK‐dependent GC‐induced genes required for the phenotypic transition of macrophages are co‐regulated by the transcription factor FOXO3, an AMPK substrate. Thus, beyond cytokine regulation, GR requires AMPK‐FOXO3 for immunomodulatory actions in macrophages, linking their metabolic status to transcriptional control in regenerative inflammation.
Investorendialog und Weitergabe von Insiderinformationen – die Entscheidung der FCA gegen Sir Christopher Gent
Authors: Klöhn Lars 
Published: December 2022

Zusammenfassung
Die insiderrechtlichen Grenzen des Investorendialogs sind im deutschen Schrifttum vielfach behandelt, aber selten an konkreten Fällen veranschaulicht worden. Anscheinend sind solche Fälle selten. Unternehmerisch beteiligte Aktionäre sind häufig im Aufsichtsrat vertreten oder erhalten Informationen legal im Rahmen der Konzernberichterstattung. Institutionelle Anleger wie die Manager von Hedge-, Pensions- oder Indexfonds haben grundsätzlich kein Interesse an Insiderinformationen, weil sie in Kenntnis dieser Informationen nicht handeln dürfen. Selbst wenn Insiderinformationen weitergegeben werden, lässt sich dies oft nicht beweisen, so dass die Fälle im Verborgenen bleiben. Umso spektakulärer ist daher die Final Notice der FCA an Sir Christopher Gent wegen Verstoßes gegen das insiderrechtliche Weitergabeverbot der MAR. Die Entscheidung zeigt erstens, dass institutionelle Anleger sehr wohl ein Interesse am Erhalt von Insiderinformationen haben, nämlich dann, wenn diese Information impliziert, vom Handel abzusehen (Insider-Abstinenz). Zweitens macht sie deutlich, wie sorglos selbst „Veteranen“ in Führungspositionen manchmal mit Insiderwissen umgehen. Grund genug, die Entscheidung dem deutschen Publikum vorzustellen und die mit ihr verbundenen Rechtsfragen einer näheren Analyse zu unterziehen.

Background
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 beta (HNF1B) is an essential transcription factor during embryogenesis. Mutations in HNF1B are the most common monogenic causes of congenital cystic dysplastic renal malformations. The direct functional consequences of mutations in HNF1B on its transcriptional activity are unknown.

Methods
Direct reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts to induced renal tubular epithelial cells was conducted both with wild-type HNF1B and with patient mutations. HNF1B was expressed in Xenopus ectodermal explants. Transcriptomic analysis by bulk RNA-Seq identified conserved targets with differentially regulated expression by the wild-type or R295C mutant. CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in Xenopus embryos evaluated transcriptional targets in vivo.

Results
HNF1B is essential for reprogramming mouse fibroblasts to induced renal tubular epithelial cells and induces development of ectopic renal organoids from pluripotent Xenopus cells. The mutation R295C retains reprogramming and inductive capacity but alters the expression of specific sets of downstream target genes instead of diminishing overall transcriptional activity of HNF1B. Surprisingly, targets associated with polycystic kidney disease were less affected than genes affected in congenital renal anomalies. Cross-species–conserved transcriptional targets were dysregulated in hnf1b CRISPR-depleted Xenopus embryos, confirming their dependence on hnf1b.

Conclusions
HNF1B activates an evolutionarily conserved program of target genes that disease-causing mutations selectively disrupt. These findings provide insights into the renal transcriptional network that controls nephrogenesis.
