RELIGION AND SOCIAL TOLERANCE: GENERATION Z'S VIEWS ON EXPOSURE TO HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE MASS MEDIA

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The media exerts a considerable influence on individuals' views, attitudes, and behaviors, particularly on those who lack access to alternative sources of information or are still shaping and forming their identities and perspectives. Attitude towards homosexuality has been different in understanding to type of societies’ cultural and moral development or political circumstance. Arising out of this issue on homosexuality is the idea of natural law and some interpretations of that law as forbidding homosexual sex. Traditionally, homosexuals have been underrepresented and misrepresented in television series and feature films. Homosexual characters have been cast in stereotypically negative roles purely for amusing the audience. In this paper, the researchers were able to analyze how the introduction of content presenting and detailing LGBT individuals and concerns into the mainstream media affects the audiences' attitudes and acceptance of the issue, particularly the Generation Z. The findings indicated that the majority of generation Z residents in Isulan, Sultan Kudarat, aged 15-19, are not influenced by the media in their views on homosexuality, and the interpretation revealed a neutral conclusion in terms of fully tolerating homosexuality in the community.
As A Matter De Facto: State Capacity Dynamics And Their Role In Shaping Sovereignty For Unrecognized States

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

What explains de facto states that do not pursue statehood? Why do we see examples of unrecognized states pushing for reintegration after a period of time? Why do some de facto states seem content with the status quo? \tPrevious examination of de facto state strategies highlighted the role that the international system plays in granting independence. For the most part, de facto states, by default secessionist movements who have sundered from the parent state, are unlikely to be granted independence by the very system which holds a taboo against secession. The exceptions to this came after a long time of sustained campaigning, in addition to gross human rights violations. Current explanations for de facto states still in limbo hedge on other states playing the most important role. These explanations are incomplete. For de facto states that have signaled their desire for reintegration or the states, it is useful to examine not only internal dynamics within the unrecognized state, but also the de facto state – parent state dynamic. \tIn this dissertation, I analyze the role that relative state capacity plays in shaping preferences for de facto states, whether that be for reintegration, status quo, or independence. My dissertation contributes to the burgeoning literature on de facto statehood in a variety of ways. First, I contribute by challenging the idea that unrecognized states automatically prefer independence. My case studies point to a variety of preferences that exist along the spectrum of de facto states. Northern Cyprus shows an example of an established de facto state that pushed for reintegration with the very parent state that assured it did not have a role in the international system. The case of Taiwan displays an example of an economic powerhouse that treads the line of status quo acceptance, and the role that their state capacity relative to the parent state plays in that. Finally, Somaliland is a case of a de facto state preferring independence, despite having no patron state and an uphill climb to establish adequate state building. \tSecond, I present a theoretical framework that incorporates state capacity of the de facto state and the parent state. Specifically, I lay out that the balance of state capacity between both parties shapes preferences for either reintegration, status quo, or independence. Furthermore, state capacity is dissected down into three constituent parts: military capacity, economic capacity, and administrative capacity. I directly compare the military, economic, and administrative capacity of each de facto-parent state dyad, using numerous indicators. By systematically comparing the state capacity of de facto states and parent states, my dissertation offers an additional and necessary examination into de facto states and their outlook towards their sovereignty.
Memory reconsolidation allows the consolidation of a concomitant weak learning through a synaptic tagging and capture mechanism

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT Motivated by the synaptic tagging and capture (STC) hypothesis, it was recently shown that a weak learning, only able to produce short‐term memory (STM), can succeed in establishing long‐term memory (LTM) with a concomitant, stronger experience. This is consistent with the capture , by the first‐ tagged event, of the so‐called plasticity‐related proteins (PRPs) provided by the second one. Here, we describe how a concomitant session of reactivation/reconsolidation of a stronger, contextual fear conditioning (CFC) memory, allowed LTM to result from a weak spatial object recognition (wSOR) training. Consistent with an STC process, the effect was observed only during a critical time window and was dependent on the CFC reconsolidation‐related protein synthesis. Retrieval by itself (without reconsolidation) did not have the same promoting effect. We also found that the inactivation of the NMDA receptor by AP5 prevented wSOR training to receive this support of CFC reconsolidation (supposedly through the production of PRPs), which may be the equivalent of blocking the setting of a learning tag in the dorsal CA1 region for that task. Furthermore, either a Water Maze reconsolidation, or a CFC extinction session, allowed the formation of wSOR‐LTM. These results suggest for the first time that a reconsolidation session can promote the consolidation of a concomitant weak learning through a probable STC mechanism. These findings allow new insights concerning the influence of reconsolidation in the acquisition of memories of otherwise unrelated events during daily life situations. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
2233. Burden of Bacterial Antimicrobial Resistance in United States in 2019: A Systematic Analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background The burden of AMR in the United States (US) is significant. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at least 2.8 million people in the United States acquire antibiotic-resistant infections each year, and more than 35,000 people die as a result. Methods Using the Global Burden of Disease, Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) methodology, data were obtained on deaths and DALYs attributable to and associated with bacterial AMR for 23 pathogens in the US in 2019. Results In the US, there were 60,813 deaths (95% uncertainty interval [UI]:32,520-102,231) associated with and 14,987 deaths (95% UI:7,712-25,156) attributable to bacterial AMR in blood stream infection highest in 2019. Staphylococcus aureus (61,011) and E Coli (41,656) accounted for the majority of deaths attributable to and associated with AMR in 2019, and resistance was high among multiple types of antibiotic class. There is a significant burden of AMR in Staphylococcus aureus, with up to 50% of the resistance attributed to macrolides, 38% attributable to fluoroquinolones. Deaths associated and attributable to bacterial antimicrobial resistance by pathogen in USA, in 2019 A) All age-counts B) Age-standardized Rate Deaths Associated with and attributable to bacterial Antimicrobial resistance by syndrome in USA, in 2019 A) All age counts B) Age-Standardized Rate DALYs attributable to and associated with bacterial antimicrobial resistance in USA, in 2019 A) Age-standardized DALY by Infectious Syndrome B) Age-Standardized DALY by Pathogen Conclusion AMR is a serious burden in the United States, with millions of people acquiring antibiotic-resistant infections each year and tens of thousands dying as a result. Preventing the spread of AMR requires a multifaceted approach that includes improved infection control practices, more judicious use of antimicrobial drugs, increased surveillance and monitoring of resistance patterns, and the development of new antibiotics and other treatment options.

[Characteristics of tenocyte adhesion to biologically-modified surface of polymer].

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In this study we examined the in vitro characteristics of tenocyte adhesion to biologically-modified surface of polymer. Polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) 85/15 films were prepared by a solvent-casting technique. Each film was adhered onto the bottom of a chamber. The film was precoated with poly-D-lysine (PDL), and then coated with serum-free F12 medium containing various concentrations of fibronectin (FN), type I collagen (CN I), and insulin-like growth factor1 (IGF-1). The monoclonal antibodies (to FN and to CN I) with various dilutions were used to inhibit attachment of tenocytes to surface precoated with FN or CN I. Human embryonic tendon cells (HETCs) and transformed human embryonic tendon cells (THETCs) were used as the seeding cells. The system used for the measurement of adhesion force was the micropipette aspiration experiment system. The micropipette was manipulated to aspirate a small portion of the tenocyte body by using a small aspiration pressure. Then the pipette was pulled away from the adhesion area by micromanipulation. The minimum force required to detach the tenocyte from the substrate was defined as the adhesion force. The results showed that modification of FN or CN I by precoating significantly enhanced attachment of tenocytes to surface of polymer (P < 0.05). As antibodies to FN or CN I were added to a polymer film precoated with FN or CN I, the adhesion force decreased significantly (P < 0.05). We concluded that the specific adhesion forces of tenocytes to extracellular matrix adhesion proteins (FN and CN I) had coordinated action and showed good dependence on their precoating concentrations, and were inhibited by the antibodies to these adhesion proteins. Films precoated with IGF-1 strongly accelerated the adhesion of tenocytes to polymer. These results indicate that the specific adhesion of tenocytes to polymer can be promoted by coating extracellular matrix adhesive proteins and insulin-like growth factor1. It is of great importance to construct tissue-engineered tendon.
Sojourner Truth's America

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This fascinating biography tells the story of nineteenth-century through the life of one of its most magnetic and influential characters: Truth. In an in-depth account of this amazing activist, Margaret Washington unravels Truth's world within the broader panorama of African American slavery and the nation's most significant reform era. Organized chronologically into three distinct eras of Truth's life, Sojourner Truth's America examines the complex dynamics of the times in which she acted, beginning with the transnational contours of her spirituality and early life as a slave. Washington then highlights Truth's awakening during nineteenth-century America's progressive surge, which propelled her ascendancy as a rousing preacher and political orator despite her inability to read and write. Throughout the book, Washington explores Truth's passionate commitment to family and community, including her vision for a beloved community that extended beyond race, gender, and socioeconomic condition and embraced a common humanity. For Truth, the significant model for such communalism was a primitive, prophetic Christianity. Illustrated with dozens of images of Truth and her contemporaries, Sojourner Truth's America provides important insights into the turbulent cultural and political climate of the age while also separating the many myths from the facts concerning this legendary American figure.

An insight into temporo-mandibular joint evaluation using joint vibration analysis: A review.

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Abstract The advent of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) have made the evaluation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) far more definitive than the previous X-ray technologies. However, there is a large gap between what can be accomplished diagnostically in a clinical practice setting compared to utilizing these sophisticated imaging technologies. While the history and clinical examination procedures reveal important information, too often they are inadequate to arrive at even a tentative diagnosis of TMJ status. JVA tool is helpful for diagnosing joint pathology or abnormality by detecting the vibration between the joint surfaces. It is useful for diagnosis and educating patients during treatment.

Fluid-like dissipation of magnetic turbulence at electron scales in the solar wind

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The turbulent spectrum of magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind displays a spectral break at ion characteristic scales. At electron scales the spectral shape is not yet completely established. Here, we perform a statistical study of 102 spectra at plasma kinetic scales, measured by the Cluster/STAFF instrument in the free solar wind. We show that the magnetic spectrum in the high frequency range, [1,400] Hz, has a form similar to what is found in hydrodynamics in the dissipation range ~Ak^(-α)exp(-kl_d). The dissipation scale l_d is found to be correlated with the electron Larmor radius ρ_e. The spectral index αvaries in the range [2.2,2.9] and is anti-correlated with l_d, as expected in the case of the balance between the energy injection and the energy dissipation. The coefficient A is found to be proportional to the ion temperature anisotropy, suggesting that local ion instabilities may play some role for the solar wind turbulence at plasma kinetic scales. The exponential spectral shape found here indicates that the effective dissipation of magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind has a wave number dependence similar to that of the resistive term in collisional fluids ~k^2δB.
ISSR primer screening and preliminary evaluation of genetic diversity in wild populations of Gycyrrhiza uralensis

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Fourteen efficient inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers were screened and optimized for detecting the genetic diversity in wild populations of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. By using these primers, 249 polymorphic bands out of a total of 270 (92.2 %) were generated from 70 individuals of 4 wild G. uralensis populations sampled from Inner Mongolia Province of China. Nei's gene diversity (h) and Shannon index (I) calculated from the data matrix of the ISSR phenotypes revealed a high level of genetic diversity with h = 0.268 and I = 0.415 within this plant. Analysis of molecular variation (AMOVA) showed that most of the genetic variation (81 %) occurred within the populations, whereas the variance among populations was only 19 %. The UPGMA tree based on Nei's unbiased genetic diversity illustrated that populations from Bulage and Bayanwusu were genetically close related, while the population from Shanghaimiao was found to be the most diverse from the other three. The high genetic diversity implies that the wild resources of this species could be restored soon if an appropriate and efficient protection strategy was employed. Our results also provided an optimized method for evaluating genetic diversity of G. uralensis using ISSR markers which was useful for further investigation.

Building a Harmonious Family in the Qur'an: An Analysis of Sternberg's Theory of Love on Household Harmony

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Family harmony is a fundamental human aspiration, significantly impacting the religious and educational development of children as they witness their parents' lives. This study explores the construction of a harmonious family according to the Qur'an, using Sternberg's love theory, which posits that an ideal marriage is built on three components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. Similarly, the Qur'an describes a harmonious family through the concepts of sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah. This research is a library research study, utilizing data from various books and literature. The descriptive-analytical approach is employed to present and analyze the data in alignment with the Qur'an. The findings reveal that Sternberg's love theory aligns with the Qur'anic perspective on maintaining a healthy family sexual relationship, illustrated by the components of intimacy and passion, as reflected in the Qur'anic verses Al-Baqarah 2:223, An-Nisa' 4:19, and Al-Baqarah 2:187. These verses underscore the significance of sexual relations within the family. Additionally, the commitment component corresponds to the union of husband and wife in all matters, as depicted in An-Nisa' 4:1.
