Authors: Rusdi R , Kasri  , Kodiran T 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Sustainable shrimp aquaculture must integrate various factors such as environmental, social, and economic as well as various elements in it. FAO has developed the concept of EAA (Ecosystem Approach to Aquaculture) which is an approach to increasing the contribution of aquaculture to sustainable development. In Indonesia, this concept was developed by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries to become “Akuakultur Dengan Pendekatan Ekosistem (ADPE)”. Several areas in Indonesia are centers of whiteleg shrimp aquaculture that have developed rapidly, including Barru Regency which is one of the regencies in South Sulawesi and has a large enough potential for whiteleg shrimp aquaculture. This study aims to assess status of ADPE’s implementation in whiteleg shrimp aquaculture area in Barru Regency as a basis for sustainable management aquaculture and recommendation strategies for implementing sustainable aquaculture based on GAP analysis. The results of this study indicate that ADPE assessment status at two locations showed differences, where Corawali Village was in the “poor” category with a score index, is 5,23 and Lawallu Village was in the “medium” category with a score index is 5,08 where based on results of GAP analysis between existing conditions and ideal conditions, it is shown that strategy priority of management plans that can be recommended are environmental management of aquaculture areas, institutions, law enforcement, community participation, and monitoring and evaluation.

Abstract
Caulerpa sp. seaweed. is one of the seaweeds being developed because it has great potential in addition to being consumed by humans but in the cultivation of Caulerpa sp. Fertilizer is needed as a source of nutrients for growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the length of time and raw materials containing the highest nitrogen and phosphate that can be used as fertilizer as a source of nutrients Caulerpa sp. The design used is a factorial pattern design with a completely randomized basic design. As for what was tested, factor A was the length of fermentation time (14, 16, and 18 days) and the second factor was raw materials (bean sprouts, Gracillaria sp. seaweed, and banana weevil). The results showed that different treatments for fermentation time and raw materials had a significant effect (p<0.005) on Nitrogen and Phosphate content.153,398ppm and 25,585ppm.

Abstract
Banten Bay represents waters bordering the areas of marine tourism, industries, settlements, and agriculture. The wastes resulting from those activities can harm the aquatic environment. This study aims to analyze the bioaccumulation of heavy metals (Pb and Hg) in threadfin bream (Nemipterus sp.) in Panjang Island, Banten Bay, Banten Province. Sampling and observation were carried out from March to August 2019 on the island. Measurements of heavy metal contents in fish flesh and gills were conducted using the AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer). Based on the results of analyses, Pb and Hg in fish flesh and gill were 0-0.149 mg/kg and 0-0.064 mg/kg, respectively, indicating that the number of heavy metals in the tissue was under the predetermined threshold; However, the number of heavy metals in the gill organs exceeded the predetermined threshold. The maximum weight limit of the fish flesh that can be consumed by both adults and children was 6.15 g/week and 1.85 g/week, respectively.
The Political Geography of International Advocacy
Authors: Walker Lydia 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Through a study of the Indian Central Relief Committee for Tibetans and the American Emergency Committee for Tibetan Refugees, this article maps the multiple dimensions of Indian and American civil society advocacy on behalf of Tibet in the immediate aftermaths of the Dalai Lama’s 1959 flight to India: anticommunism, imperialism, discourses of religious freedom and civilizational solidarity, domestic politics, and regional security interests. These contexts did not operate separately, but rather formed layered interactions, layers that eventually bound Tibetan autonomy. While the Dalai Lama and other Tibetan nationalists worked across the geographic and political spectrum to generate international support as a matter of practicality and necessity, the complex web from which this support came, and through which it operated, functioned as constraints as well as backing. Advocacy from such a disparate set of national, personal, religious, and political interests came with limitations that defined Tibetans as communist victims, an oppressed religious minority, and a humanitarian commodity, but not as nationalist claimants.
Topical Hemostatic Agents in Burn Surgery: A Systematic Review
Authors: Battistini Andrea , Gottlieb Lawrence J , Vrouwe Sebastian Q 
Published: December 2022

AbstractAcute burn surgery has long been associated with significant intra-operative bleeding. Several techniques were introduced to limit hemorrhage, including tourniquets, tumescent infiltration, and topical agents. To date, no study has comprehensively investigated the available data regarding topical hemostatic agents in burn surgery. A systematic review was performed by two independent reviewers using electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science) from first available to September 10, 2021. Articles were included if they were published in English and described or evaluated topical hemostatic agents used in burn excision and/or grafting. Data were extracted on the agent(s) used, their dosage, mode of delivery, hemostasis outcomes, and complications. The search identified 1982 nonduplicate citations, of which 134 underwent full-text review, and 49 met inclusion criteria. In total, 32 studies incorporated a vasoconstrictor agent, and 28 studies incorporated a procoagulant agent. Four studies incorporated other agents (hydrogen peroxide, tranexamic acid, collagen sheets, and TT-173). The most common vasoconstrictor used was epinephrine, with doses ranging from 1:1000 to 1:1,000,000. The most common procoagulant used was thrombin, with doses ranging from 10 to 1000 IU/ml. Among the comparative studies, outcomes of blood loss were not reported in a consistent manner, therefore meta-analysis could not be performed. The majority of studies (94%) were level of evidence III–V. Determining the optimal topical hemostatic agent is limited by low-quality data and challenges with consistent reporting of intra-operative blood loss. Given the routine use of topical hemostatic agents in burn surgery, high-quality research is essential to determine the optimal agent, dosage, and mode of delivery.
Estimating Stand-Level Carbon Supply Curves for Loblolly Pine and Douglas-Fir Plantations

Published: December 2022

AbstractWe estimate the carbon sequestration supply curve at the stand level based on the optimal rotation decision and conduct a marginal analysis for payments necessary for postponing harvest for additional 1-year increments of two commercially important species in the United States, loblolly pine and Douglas-fir. Under certain costs, production and timber prices assumptions, payments ranged from $62.23 ($26.97–$105.87) ac/yr. for loblolly pine plantations and $399.17 ($189.80–$628.72) ac/yr. for Douglas-fir plantations. Our results indicate that higher carbon sequestration occurs with higher site index, higher trees per acre, and in unthinned stands. Significant variability within and between species was heavily dependent on the number of years that final harvest was postponed. In addition, we show the effect of prices on the quantity supplied under multiple silvicultural treatments. The study should assist willing forest landowners and potential partners to determine initial reservation prices for carbon sequestration and temporary provision for a 1-year period in line with programs offering this contracting mechanism.
W. B. Yeats and the Language of Sculpture
Authors: Quin Jack 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This book comprehensively examines the relationship between literature and sculpture in the work of W.B. Yeats, drawing on extensive archival research to offer revelatory new readings of the poet. The book traces Yeats’s literary and critical engagement with Celtic Revival statuary, public monuments in Dublin, the coin designs of the Irish Free State, abstract sculpture by the Vorticists and modernists, and a variety of carvings, decorative sculptures, and objets d’art. By charting Yeats’s early art school education in Dublin, his attempts to raise funds for public monuments in the city and to secure commissions for his favorite sculptors, the book documents a lifelong interest in the plastic arts. New and original readings of Yeats’s poetry, drama, and prose criticism emerge from this concertedly inter-arts and interdisciplinary study.
Deterring in the Baltics
Authors: von Hlatky Stéfanie 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
How does gender intersect with deterrence? NATO’s inability to answer this question is plainly visible in its latest policy updates on Women, Peace and Security. Yet in practice, enhanced forward presence on NATO’s eastern flank is the new testing ground. From the German-led battlegroup in Lithuania to the troops under Canadian command in Latvia, soldiers are planning tank and infantry maneuvers, but the Canadian and German commanders tackle the challenge differently. The Canadian approach is informed by its feminist foreign policy, which places greater emphasis on Women, Peace and Security, when compared to Germany, for example. Indeed, the driving reason for the different experiences across battlegroups is that NATO was not in charge of the operational planning process when enhanced forward presence was established; therefore, contributing countries had more discretion in their application of WPS norms.
Shame, Respect, and Deference
Authors: Belonick Paul 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
A Roman man always felt pressure from two sides. On the one, pressure to advance himself. On the other, pressure to keep within limits, to restrain himself through deference not only to superiors, but to colleagues and to peers. Chapter 1 investigates the norm of deference, not merely to superiors, but to peers, colleagues, and groups of peers; a deference undergirded by social conventions of shame and care for one’s reputation that could act more strongly on an aristocrat even than military necessity or threat of force. When a Roman aristocrat looked as though he might risk Rome’s safety, the dignity of others, or integrity of the office-and-honor-distribution system itself, the first line of defense was appeal to deference, often in the form of a colleague. Pressure came all the more from gatherings of great men, or with the Senate or even the People as a whole to judge his conduct. Those who displayed self-restraint received praise—symbolic capital that might aid their future chances in the competition. Those who did not received shame. Deference, with its emotional underpinning of shame, was thus a force that helped the republican competition of ambitious men operate. The chapter also illustrates how the norm of deference could grow into place through contestation, thus showing that there was no “golden age” of natural “moral” behavior; rather, disputes and conflicts helped build restraint norms into commonly expected behavior.
The Spirit of Socrates
Authors: Woodruff Paul 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This chapter contrasts the Socratic approach against the Aristotelian one adopted by most virtue ethicists. The main point is that Aristotelian virtues are supposed to be robust character traits. Socratic virtues at the human level must be projects to which you are committed in the lifelong activity of caring for the soul’s health. You must never think you safely have a virtue, but continue to question yourself and others. Unlike Aristotelian ethics, Socratic ethics asks you to change your life, value justice over happiness, and examine yourself all your life. In making moral decisions, you should use a kind of judgment that is not limited by theory and does not fall for false images or doubles of the virtues, such as fearlessness for courage. You should promote virtue also in your community. So far we can follow Socrates, but we must go beyond him—for example, by defending democracy.
Aiming at Virtue
Authors: Woodruff Paul 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Virtues are ideals that we aim to live by, but they are not to be understood as targets, since they are not well-defined. This chapter lays out the kind of things that virtues are, and the kind of commitment that they call for. Virtues can conflict, and the conflicts may appear to be moral dilemmas. That is because we cannot totally dismiss the value of a virtue on either side of a conflict. An appendix to the chapter reviews philosophical discussions of moral dilemmas and argues that such dilemmas do not need to be real to be injurious. For example, I do not need to prove that it is wrong to kill innocent enemy soldiers in battle in order to be injured morally by having done so.
Living Toward Virtue
Authors: Woodruff Paul 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Actively pursuing virtues makes your soul beautiful, whereas going to sleep with the confidence that you possess a virtue is ugly and dangerous. If you think you possess a virtue, you are on the way to losing it, since virtue, like physical health, must be actively maintained. The beautiful soul is both lovable and loving. The virtues it cultivates are other-regarding, though beneficial to the self. The list of virtues cannot be closed off; we may learn new virtues from cultures new to us. The positive side of caring for the soul is that through this Socratic activity we can continue to grow toward virtue, even into old age, and we can repair moral injuries. The result can be happiness as Socrates understands it, which consists largely in the sense that we are free and in charge of the important aspects of our lives.
Ethics and Nature
Authors: Gill Christopher 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Chapter 3 examines critically the view often stated that Stoic ethics is grounded in universal nature. One important indicator is that, in ancient summaries, Stoic ethics is presented in various ways: in purely ethical (value-related) terms, or in ethical terms supported by reference to human nature, universal nature, or a combination of these. Also, although physics (more precisely, theology) is sometimes described by the Stoics as authoritative for ethics in its account of nature, ethics is seen as authoritative in its analysis of ethical concepts, and in this respect these branches of knowledge are equal in conceptual status. The chapter also examines a passage of Chrysippus often seen as showing that ethics is grounded on universal nature. It is suggested that the significance of this passage is complex and variable, and that this complexity is reflected in the variations of the idea offered by Epictetus and Marcus.
Ancient Egyptian Peace Traditions
Authors: Bickel Susanne 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The chapter focuses on political, social, and religious aspects of peace traditions as revealed through the written and visual documentation from ancient Egypt (ca. 2500–30 BCE). Peace and peacefulness were important moral values in the sphere of social relations, often associated with Maat, the fundamental concept of justice and harmony. The attitude toward peace was more ambiguous in the political and religious spheres. The mythologically grounded perception of hostile powers threatening Egypt’s existence and stability shaped the ideal of a martial pharaoh subduing all potential foes and neighboring countries. The discrepancy between real-life politics and traditional worldview appears clearly in the copies of the very detailed peace treaty concluded around 1270 BCE between Egypt under Ramesses II and the Hittite Empire. The treaty, which was copied in several temples, agrees on mutual non-aggression and assistance in parity terms between equal partners. The surrounding texts, however, mobilize traditional ideological language treating the Hittite partner king as an enemy subdued by the forceful pharaoh.

Abstract
Wolbachia, a maternally transmitted bacterium, shows male-killing, an adaptive phenotype for cytoplasmic elements, in various arthropod species during the early developmental stages. In lepidopteran insects, lethality of males is accounted for by improper dosage compensation in sex-linked genes owing to Wolbachia-induced feminization. Herein, we established Ostrinia scapulalis cell lines that retained sex specificity per the splicing pattern of the sex-determining gene doublesex (Osdsx). We found that Wolbachia transinfection in male cell lines enhanced the female-specific splice variant of Osdsx (OsdsxF) while suppressing the male-specific variant (OsdsxM), indicating that Wolbachia affects sex-determining gene signals even in vitro. Comparative transcriptome analysis isolated only two genes that behave differently upon Wolbachia infection. The two genes were respectively homologous to Masculinizer (BmMasc) and zinc finger-2 (Bmznf-2), male-specifically expressed sex-determining genes of the silkworm Bombyx mori that encode CCCH-type zinc finger motif proteins. By using cultured cells and organismal samples, OsMasc and Osznf-2 were found to be sex-determining genes of O. scapulalis that are subjected to sex-specific alternative splicing depending upon the chromosomal sex, developmental stage, and infection status. Overall, our findings expound the cellular autonomy in insect sex determination and the mechanism through which sex is manipulated by intracellular selfish microbes.
Matrix regularization for tensor fields

Published: December 2022

Abstract
We propose a novel matrix regularization for tensor fields. In this regularization, tensor fields are described as rectangular matrices, and area-preserving diffeomorphisms and local rotations of the orthonormal frame are both realized as unitary similarity transformations of matrices in a unified way. We also show that the matrix commutator corresponds to the covariantized Poisson bracket for tensor fields in the large-N limit.

AbstractMutations in TDP-43 are known to cause Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). TDP-43 binds to and regulates splicing of several RNA includingZmynd11. Zmynd11 is a transcriptional repressor and a potential E3 ubiquitin ligase family member, known for its role in neuron and muscle differentiation. Mutations inZmynd11have been associated with autism with significant developmental motor delays, intellectual disability, and ataxia. Here, we show thatZmynd11is aberrantly spliced in the brain and spinal cord of transgenic mice overexpressing a mutant human TDP-43 (A315T), and that these changes occur before the onset of motor symptoms.

ABSTRACTHELLP syndrome is a life-threatening complication of pregnancy, which is often secondary to preeclampsia. To date, there is no biomarker in clinical use for the early stratification of women with preeclampsia that are under increased risk for HELLP syndrome. Herein, we show that the levels of circulating developmental endothelial locus-1(DEL-1), which is an extracellular immunomodulatory protein, are decreased in patients with HELLP syndrome compared to preeclampsia. DEL-1 levels are also negatively correlated with the circulating levels of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), which is a biomarker for disorders associated with kidney damage. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis for DEL-1 levels and the DEL-1 to KIM-1 ratio demonstrated that these values could be used as a potential biomarker that distinguishes patients with HELLP syndrome and preeclampsia. Finally, we show that placental endothelial cells are a source for DEL-1 and the expression of this protein in placenta from patients with HELLP syndrome is minimal. Taken together, this study shows that DEL-1 is downregulated in HELLP syndrome both in the circulation and at the affected placental tissue, suggesting a potential role for this protein as a biomarker, which has to be further evaluated.
