Crafts by Nomads of the Ural and Turgai Regions at the Beginning of the 20th Century

Abstract: Introduction. The article, based on the “Materials on the Kyrgyz (Kazakh) Land Use Collected and Developed by the Statistical Parties of the Turgai-Ural Resettlement Region”, examines the crafts of the nomads of the Lbischensky, Uralsky, Turgai, Irgiz, Temir uyezds in the early 20th century. Temir, Lbishchensky and Ural uyezds belonged to the Ural region, Turgai and Irgiz uyezds to the Turgai region.  Methods and materials. Using the mathematical method, the method of comparative analysis and content analysis, the author shows how much income per person came from crafts in the studied uyezds and proves that crafts were only additional industries and could not compete with nomadic cattle breeding. The article examines the crafts that brought the greatest income. Farmhands, transportation, groundhog hunting, fishing, etc., were well-known crafts; the Muslim spiritual cult and its servants was an unusual craft.  Analysis. Our article shows that the studied uyezds had their own craft specializations. For example, a significant number of nomads in Lbischensky uyezd were engaged in transportation, in Turgai uyezd in hunting groundhogs, in Irgiz uyezd in hunting and fishing.  Results. At the end of the article, the author concludes that the majority of nomads were primarily engaged in crafts as farmhands due to their poverty.

Численная оценка анатомии фиброзного кольца митрального клапана в норме и при патологии по данным трехмерной эхокардиографии

Abstract:
Цель. Анализ особенностей геометрии и динамики фиброзного кольца митрального клапана в норме, при митральной регургитации дегенеративной и ишемической этиологии на основе трехмерной эхокардиографии с последующей математической обработкой.

Методы. В исследование включили данные трансэзофагеальной трехмерной эхокардиографии 50 пациентов, распределенных в 3 группы: дегенеративная митральная регургитация (n = 10), ишемическая митральная регургитация (n = 10), отсутствие патологии митрального клапана (n = 30). Трансэзофагеальную эхокардиографию осуществляли на установке iE33 (Philips, США), количественно анализируя передне-задний диаметр; переднебоковой-заднесрединный диаметр; межкомиссуральный диаметр; трехмерную длину окружности митрального клапана; двумерную высоту зоны коаптации; высоту створок; максимальную высоту; передний и задний углы створок; угол непланарности; коэффициент планарности; коэффициент эллиптичности. Измерения проводили для обеих фаз сердечного цикла: периода изгнания систолы и периода наполнения диастолы, что соответствует закрытому и открытому состояниям клапана. Полученные данные обрабатывали в программе QLAB (Philips, США), с помощью которой получали наборы точек, описывающих геометрию митрального клапана. После чего с использованием in-house алгоритма в среде MATLAB R2015a (MathWorks, Массачусетс, США) получали математические модели анатомии фиброзного кольца для каждой из групп.

Результаты. Функциональное исследование митрального клапана демонстрирует схожий характер изменений геометрических особенностей фиброзного кольца для обеих патологий. Динамические показатели работы фиброзных колец в цикле «систола – диастола» значительно различались в трех группах. Представлены уравнения усредненных моделей фиброзных колец анализируемых групп, которые могут быть использованы для проектирования, верификации и компьютерного моделирования.

Заключение. Патологические изменения геометрии митрального клапана при ишемической и дегенеративной регургитации носят схожий характер, несмотря на этиологические различия. Однако данные патологии различаются при изменении геометрии в динамике «систола – диастола», что обуславливает необходимость использовать разные подходы и устройства для их коррекции.

The motif of a relationship between a human and an animal in genealogical legends of the buryats

Abstract: The given article discusses the motif of the miraculous birth of a child from an animal in the narratives about the origins of Buryat tribes and clans. The study sets a goal of identifying the structure of plots where this motif is present, determine its place, analyze the patterns and describe the variations of its existence. The research materials include texts from works and collections on Buryat folklore as well as previously unconsidered materials from the personal fund of S. P. Baldaev, stored in the archive collection of the Center for Oriental Manuscripts and xylographs IMBT SB RAS. The legends that tell about the origin of the main Buryat tribes: Bulagat, Ekhirit, Khori and Khongodor are considered common for all Buryat people, while the legends about clans are local and are preserved only among representatives of a certain clan. The author concludes that this motif is closely related to the images of the Buryat ancestors, and its presence in genealogical legends is conditioned by the people’s strong need of feeling a deep bond with nature. In addition to that, the analysis of the material shows how patriarchal views of the Buryats are often highlighted in genealogical legends.

KONSEPTUALISASI PENDIDIKAN ANAK USIA DINI 	BERBASIS PENANAMAN AQIDAH

Abstract:
Keluarga merupakan lembaga institusi pendidik pertama, tidak hanya mendidik atau memperhatikan anak-anaknya tentang ilmu umum tetapi yang lebih penting adalah menanamkan pemahaman mereka akan ilmu agama bahkan lebih sepesifik juga membekalinya dengan penanaman pendidikan aqidah yang menjadi kewajiban sebagai orang tua. Tidak berlebihan ketika orang tua dikatakan sebagai sumber pendidikan aqidah anak pertama sebelum masuk sekolah formal.

Pendidikan yang diselenggarakan dan diterima oleh seorang anak dalam perjalanan hidupnya. Pendidikan aqidah ini secara agama sudah dimulai sebelum ia masuk kedunia ini. Artinya, pendidikan akidah sudah berlangsung jauh semasa manusia masih di alam absolut (ruh) yaitu alamnya yang paling awal yang tidak dapat dibatasi dengan waktu atau disebut masa azaly.

Orang tua yang bertanggung jawab dalam mendidik anak di usia dini bisa dilihat dari kuatnya penanaman aqidah. Anak didik yang ditanamkan aqidah pada usia dini bisa dilihat secara dzahir yaitu identik dengan keshalehan, baik itu secara individu maupun sosial. Hal ini wajar, karena pembiasaan orang tua dalam menanamkan aqidah dan mendidik anak-anak diusia dini baik mulai dari dalam kandungan dengan menjaga pandangan, berdo’a sebelum berbuat intim dengan suami istri sampai memperhatikan sekolah formal anak didiknya. Karena pendidikan aqidah orang tua di usia dini lebih mengena daripada hanya mengandalkan penjelalasan materi di sekolah.

Tujuan dari pendidikan ialah meningkatkan keimanan dan ketakwaan serta akhlak mulia dalam rangka mencerdaskan kehidupan bangsa, yang diatur dengan undang-undang (Pasal 31 ayat 3) Dalam pasal ini dijelaskan bahwa tujuan dari pendidikan di Indonesia adalah bertujuan meningkatkan keimanan dan ketakwaan serta ahlak mulia pada pelajar pada realitanya seperti jauh api dari panggang. Sistem pengajaran yang diberikan sekolah terhadap siswanya sebagian besar ialah hanya berorientasi kepada kecerdasan intelektual semata (intelegensia) sedangkan penanaman nilai-nilai aqidah  pada diri anak sangat kurang sekali.

Dalam tulisan ini saya membahas tentang bahasan mengenai konseptualisasi pendidikan anak usia dini berbasis penanaman aqidah

Hubungan Antara Profesionalisme Dosen dengan Karakter Kristiani Mahasiswa (Studi Korelasi di Fakultas Ilmu Pendidikan Universitas Pelita Harapan, Tangerang) [The Relationship Between Lecturer Professionalism and Student Christian Character (Correlation Study at the Faculty of Education, Pelita Harapan University, Tangerang)]

Abstract:
The realization of character education is a shared responsibility of both parents and educational institutions. Higher education as an integral educational facility has a responsibility to develop aspects of character. This is because character is an important domain in forming a student's personality as a whole. In this way, students can grow cognitively, affectively and psychometrically. The Faculty of Education, Pelita Harapan University has a profile of students who are competent, have character, have a calling as Christian teachers (Calling), and have compassion (compassion). To realize this profile, it must be supported by the professionalism of lecturers with the characteristics of having a loving spirit like the good Samaritan and a spirit of self-emptying of Christ in serving. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between lecturer professionalism and student Christian character. The results of this research will provide an overview, evaluation, and input to build Christian character in a sustainable manner. The method used in this research is a correlative quantitative method. The research results show that lecturer professionalism is significantly related to students' Christian character. The research results show that there is a correlation between lecturer professionalism and student Christian character of .537. Thus, it can be concluded that the correlation between lecturer professionalism and student Christian character is in the strong category. The test results show the significance value (p = .000) is smaller than 0.05. This means that there is not enough evidence to accept the proposed hypothesis (reject Ho). Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant correlation between lecturer professionalism and student Christian character.

SOUNDCSAPE AND THE UNDERSTANDING OF HISTORIC DISTRICTS IN BANDUNG

Abstract: According to UNESCO Convention 1972, cultural heritage consists of tangible and intangible heritage. Soundscape has been considered as a part of the intangible heritage, and it refers to the perceptual quality. In the realm of built environment, perceptual qualities become important concerns, since cultural heritage cannot be described and appreciated using mono-sensorial analysis fundamentally based on vision. As perceptual construct, soundscape has been considered as a new approach in understanding the formation and design of sensitive urban environment. It is argued that perceptual quality, besides visual aesthetics, geographic, psychological and socio-cultural aspects, must be part of the considerations in architecture and urban design. Bandung is well-known for its urban heritage, and as former well-designed colonial town, the historic buildings and areas have morphologically constituted the structure of the inner city. However, the modernization and globalization have led to inevitable transformations, including the destruction of historic places and fabric/district of cultural significance. With the latest urban dynamics, urban environment has also experienced an inescapable process of “sound globalization”, which led to the losing of specific sound-marks in the respective area. This paper is based upon an ongoing research project on strategy for conservation of historic urban areas using soundscape approach. Methodologically, through sound walks, surveys and interviews, several notions relating to urban spatial and formal quality have been collected, assessed and interpreted. The result stands for the understanding of perceptual aspects and quality of urban space in historic urban areas that may contribute to the heritage conservation strategy.

Pengaruh Harga Minyak Dunia dan Belanja Infrastruktur terhadap Keseimbangan Anggaran Pemerintah Indonesia 2015-2024

Abstract: This study aims to examine the extent to which World Oil Prices and Infrastructure Spending influence Indonesia's Budget Balance in 2015-2024. The data used in this study are secondary data from 2015-2024. The analysis method used is multiple linear regression analysis. The analysis results indicate that crude oil prices and infrastructure expenditure simultaneously have a significant effect on the Budget Balance, with an F-value of 5.720 and a significance level of 0.013 < 0.015. Partially, infrastructure expenditure has a significant impact on the state budget deficit, with a coefficient of β = 0.456 and p < 0.05, whereas crude oil prices do not have a significant effect (β = -0.106, p = 0.28). This is due to fluctuations in crude oil prices that do not always align with the continuously increasing trend of the state budget deficit each year. Infrastructure expenditure plays a crucial role in supporting economic growth, prompting the government to increase capital spending for development.

The Successful Artificial Insemination with Frozen Semen from Different Genetic Qualities of Friesian Holstein Bull

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the success of artificial insemination (AI) using frozen semen with different genetic qualities of Friesian Holstein Bull. In this research, the bulls came from the artificial insemination center of Singosari, consisting of Friesian Holstein bulls with proven bull certificates and the pure breed from embryo transfer. The frozen semen was produced by standard semen processing in the artificial insemination center of Singosari. The inseminated female totals were 56 head of Friesian Holstein crossbred in Pujon district, Malang, Indonesia. The females were divided into two groups: 28 cows receiving insemination from frozen semen of proven bull (T1) and 28 from pure breed FH bull from embryo transfer (T2). The females were chosen with purposive sampling with the criteria, have a Body Condition Score (BCS) of at least 2.5 (scale 1–5), have normal reproductive organs, and exhibit the clear estrus sign. Artificial insemination was performed with a single dose at the eight hour after estrus. Semen deposition was at the corpus uteri, while the thawing process was performed at 22–23°C for 60 seconds. The result showed that the non-return rate 1 (NRR-1), non-return rate 2 (NRR-2), and conception rate (CR) values for AI using frozen semen from a proven bull were 96%, 75% and 43%, respectively. In contrast, the percentage of AI success using pure breed FH bull from embryo transfer was 93%, 86%, and 64%. In conclusion, AI success using pure breed FH bull from embryo transfer was better than proven bull frozen semen.

Penegakan dan Perlindungan Hukum Terhadap Satwa Kuskus (Phalanger SPP) yang Dilindungi di Kota Ambon

Abstract: One of the animals favored by people and can be used as food for some people in Ambon City is cuscus (phalanger spp) is one of the long-tailed marsupial mammals and is also a part of natural resources that is priceless so that its sustainability needs to be maintained through various safeguards. In detail, the regulations concerning these animals are regulated in the regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry No. 20 of 2018 concerning the types of plants and animals that are protected. Protected animals are animals that have rarely existed and are therefore protected by various regulations. One of the actions which until now still often occurs and violates the rules in protecting animals is used as food (killed) for some people in Ambon City are cuscus (phalanger spp). The killing of wild animals is an act that has violated the provisions contained in Law No. 5 of 1990 concerning Conservation of Biological Resources and their Ecosystems. Where in article 21 paragraph (2) (a) it has been stated that the prohibition to kill protected animals. In an effort to protect the animals from killing, law enforcement against the trade of protected animals is a process of embodiment of the rules regarding the protection of animals in practice legally in order to realize the goal of protecting protected animals. Research based on normative law research (normative law research) uses normative case studies in the form of legal behavior products, for example reviewing laws. The subject of the study is a law conceptualized as a norm or rule that applies to society and becomes a reference for everyone's behavior. The application of criminal sanctions against some residents of Ambon City who consume cuscus animals (phalanger spp) does not work properly


Examination and Confiscation of Notarial Deeds for The Purpose of Criminal Law Enforcement without Approval from The Notary Honorary Council

Abstract: The Notary’s right of refusal through the approval of the Notary Honorary Council (NHC) hinders the practice of criminal law enforcement because it is absolute and there is no further (final) legal remedy, even though a similar policy (beleid) has been revoked by the Constitutional Court. In practice, the notary cannot be examined by investigators, public prosecutors, or judges, unless they have previously obtained NHC approval, as regulated in Article 66 paragraph (1) of Law Number 30 of 2004 as amended by Law Number 2 of 2014 (Notary Position Law). Even if Notary Honorary Council refuses, then there will only be further legal remedies through a lawsuit by the State Administrative Court. In fact, the provisions regarding the Notary’s right of refusal should be ‘determination’ by court decisions (vonnis) as regulated in Article 170 of the Criminal Code, and not ‘administrative determination’ (beschikking) through NHC approval based on the delegation of supervisory authority from state institutions. This paper concludes that every law enforcer in criminal cases (police, prosecutors, and judges) can examine a Notary with the condition of special permission from the Head of the local District Court, approval of direct interested parties, or NHC approval as stipulated in Article 43 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 66 paragraph (1) of the Notary Position Law. This paper is normative research with a statutory approach, conceptual approach, and case approach.

OPTIMASI PROSES PEMBUATAN TEPUNG LABU KUNING  MENGGUNAKAN RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY UNTUK MENINGKATKAN AKTIVITAS ANTIOKSIDANNYA

Abstract: Yellow pumpkin (Cucurbita moscata) is a popular plant in Indonesia, but its utilization is limited. It has been reported that the antioxidant activity of the yellow pumpkin increased by increasing the drying tempe-rature and immersing the pumpkin in bisulfite solution during processing. The aim of this study was to opti-mize the processing conditions for the manufacturing of pumpkin flour using Response Surface Methodo-logy (RSM) to enhance its antioxidant activities. The optimization process was done using a Box-Behnken construction. The factorial treatments consisted of immersion in metabisulfite solution, drying temperature, and drying time. The results showed that the scavenging activity as measured by DPPH and ABTS corres-ponded well to the independent variables based on the multiple regression analysis particularly the multi-variate quadratic regression (MQR). Based on the MQR, the determination coefficients (R2) of DPPH and ABTS were 0.97 and 0.96, respectively. Based on that model, the optimum conditions of  pumpkin flour manufacturing were immersion in metabisulfite solution for 23.05 min, drying temperature of 85°C, and drying time of 11.40 h. This optimum condition was predicted to yield pumpkin flour having DPPH and ABTS scavenging activities of 90.12% and 94.38%, respectively. Based on the validation data, the optimum condition resulted in flour with antioxidant activities of 80.23 (DPPH) and 86.67% (ABTS). The quadratic models developed were powerful in predicting the actual values of the antioxidant activity by DPPH and ABTS. The accuracy of the models in predicting the antioxidant activity by DPPH and ABTS were 89.02 and 91.83%, respectively.

Analysis of Education and Knowledge’s Relationship on Worker Behavior in Waste Processing and Disposal in The Sasirangan Home Industry in Banjarmasin

Abstract: Sasirangan is a typical cloth from the South Kalimantan which is produced by the Banjarist people in home industries. The production of sasirangan has a very positive impact on the welfare of Banjarist people. However, the processing and liquid waste resulting from the production process can have a negative impact on workers' health and the environment because it contains synthetic dyes and heavy metals. This is caused by poor worker behavior in processing and disposing of liquid waste from sasirangan cloth. Worker behavior can be related to worker education and knowledge. This research aims to analyze the relationship between education, knowledge and the behavior of sasirangan workers in processing and disposing of waste in the home-based sasirangan industry in Banjarmasin. This research is an analytical observational study with a cross sectional approach, carried out at 3 (three) sasirangan production locations: Sungai Jingah, Seberang Masjid Village and Surgi Mufti subdistricts. Sampling used a purposive sampling technique with a sample size of 30 workers. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive and statistical analysis using the Chi Square test with the alternative Fisher Exact Test. The results of data analysis show the p value of the education variables (p=0.032) and knowledge (p=0.049). There is a significant relationship between education and knowledge and worker behavior in processing and disposing of waste in the sasirangan home industry in Banjarmasin. This is in accordance with Lawrence Green's theory, the better the worker's education and knowledge, the better the worker's behavior. The existence of a significant relationship between education and knowledge and workers' behavior in processing and disposing of waste in the sasirangan home industry in Banjarmasin requires follow-up in the form of efforts to increase education and knowledge regarding the processing and disposal of sasirangan waste for workers in the sasirangan home industry in Banjarmasin.

Populisme, Politik Pertahanan, Dan Pemimpin Lokal

Abstract: Populism, defence politics, and local leader are interrelated in the study of power. In the framework of maintaining power, local leaders will use populist policies to gain political support from the community. Community support is essential in an electoral democracy. Therefore, the local leaders will respond to the needs of its citizens in the form of populist policy. The ability of local leaders to meet the needs of their citizens is an important part of the working of populist politics. In this populist politics, the beneficiaries are leaders and society. Nevertheless, the beneficiaries are more certainly the local leaders. Why? Is it because local leaders use populism policies as instrumentation in maintaining power? By relying on that question, the choice of populist policy is aimed at two things for the local leaders. First, to gain legitimacy from the community. For local leaders, legitimacy is needed in building political power (Ramlan Surbakti, 1992; 96). It’s because the strong legitimacy will make to the local leaders more confident. Second, to strengthen the personal capacity of the local leaders in front of the community and other political forces. By relying on these two goals, the local leaders will have power stronger. Strengthening and maintaining power are the main objective for the local leaders. Therefore, this paper will attempt to present the ability of the local leaders in maintaining his power through the politics of populism at the local level (Vedi R Hadiz, 2017; Willy Purna Samadhi, 2016).

Constitutional Issue of the Executional Power of Fiduciary Certificates as Equal to Court Decision

Abstract: The enactment of the Fiduciary Guarantee Law is expected to be able to answer problems in the financing business, but it causes a loss of constitutional rights because it equalizes the executorial power of a judge's decision legally binding with fiduciary certificates. The analysis was carried out by Constitutional Court Decision Number 18/ PUU-XVII/2019; the was carried out by document study and analyzed prescriptively and descriptively. The results showed that the normative basis of the executive power on the fiduciary certificate was born from an agreement registered. So that it can be used as perfect evidence to prove the debtor in breach of contract, and the judge's legal consideration to declare the inconsistent provisions tested are based on not the existence of legal certainty in determining the time of breach of contract (default) and the mechanism for the execution of the Fiduciary Certificate

How do Tourists Perceive Risk and Develop Travel Preparedness? Influence of Destination Attributes and Knowledge

Abstract: This study explores how destination attributes, such as accessibility, natural attractions, facilities, and disaster knowledge, influence tourists' risk perceptions, ultimately shaping their travel preparedness. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 806 tourists visiting a tsunami-prone beach destination in Indonesia. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was implemented in the analysis. The findings indicate that accessibility and well-developed tourist facilities tend to lower tourists’ perceived risk, while disaster knowledge heightens it, leading to improved preparedness. Tourists generally feel safer when destinations offer accessible amenities and infrastructure, yet this sense of security may inadvertently decrease their readiness for disasters. This situation creates a paradox: While enhanced accessibility and high-quality amenities contribute to visitor satisfaction, they can unintentionally lower risk perception and preparedness levels. The study challenges the conventional view that accessibility and amenities are inherently beneficial, highlighting the importance of balancing these attributes with proactive risk management strategies. Destination providers, destination management organizations (DMOs), and governments should enhance tourists’ disaster awareness through well-crafted guidelines, educational campaigns, and community engagement programs; these efforts help equip tourists with the necessary knowledge to respond effectively in emergency situations. At the same time, they contribute to the development of safer and more enjoyable tourist destinations.

Pengembangan Model Pembelajaran Dambus Berbasis Notasi Gitar untuk Pelestarian Musik Tradisional Bangka

Abstract:
Dambus merupakan alat musik tradisional khas Bangka Belitung yang menunjukkan perkembangan signifikan baik dari segi kualitas maupun kuantitas. Secara kualitas, banyak perajin Dambus tersebar di seluruh Provinsi Kepulauan Bangka Belitung yang memproduksi instrumen ini hingga dipasarkan ke luar negeri. Sementara itu, secara kuantitas, jumlah pembuat, pemain, komunitas, dan penikmat musik Dambus juga terus meningkat. Namun, perkembangan ini belum diimbangi dengan sistem pelestarian yang memadai. Selama ini, pembelajaran Dambus dilakukan secara lisan, seperti halnya tradisi musik tradisional pada umumnya, sehingga berpotensi punah seiring waktu. Penelitian ini bertujuan merancang sistem pembelajaran Dambus berbasis notasi tertulis sebagai upaya pelestarian dan dokumentasi. Model yang dikembangkan mengadaptasi metode pembelajaran gitar, namun disesuaikan dengan karakteristik khas instrumen Dambus. Rancangan pembelajaran disusun secara bertahap, dimulai dari teknik dasar, notasi, hingga latihan-latihan fundamental. Diharapkan, sistem pembelajaran berbasis notasi ini dapat memperkuat eksistensi musik Dambus dan mendorong lahirnya karya-karya baru yang terdokumentasi dengan baik.

Developing a Dambus Learning Model Based on Guitar Notation for the Preservation of Bangka Traditional Music

Abstract

Dambus is a traditional musical instrument native to the Bangka Belitung Islands that has shown significant development in both quality and quantity. In terms of quality, numerous Dambus craftsmen are spread across the Bangka Belitung Province, producing instruments that are even marketed internationally. Quantitatively, the number of makers, performers, communities, and enthusiasts of Dambus music continues to grow. However, this progress has not been matched by an adequate preservation system. Until now, Dambus learning has been conducted orally, as is common in traditional music practices, making it vulnerable to extinction over time. This study aims to design a written notation–based learning system for Dambus as a means of preservation and documentation. The model developed adapts guitar teaching methods but is modified to suit the distinctive characteristics of the Dambus instrument. The instructional framework is structured gradually, beginning with basic techniques, notation, and fundamental exercises. It is expected that this notation-based learning system will help strengthen the existence of Dambus music and encourage the creation of new, well-documented musical works.

Abstract: Abstract The presence of bacterial biofilms and the occurrence of excessive inflammatory response greatly imped the healing process of chronic wounds in diabetic patients. However, effective strategies to simultaneously address these issues are still lacking. Here, a microenvironment‐adaptive nanodecoy (GC@Pd) is constructed via the coordination and in situ reduction of palladium ions on gallic acid‐modified chitosan (GC) to promote wound healing by synergistic biofilm eradication, inflammation alleviation, and immunoregulation. During the weakly acidic conditions of the biofilm infection stage, GC@Pd serves as a nanodecoy to induce bacterial aggregation. Subsequently, through its oxidase‐like activity generating reactive oxygen species and the hyperthermia from photothermal effects, it effectively eliminates the biofilm. As the local microenvironment of diabetic wounds transitions to an alkaline inflammatory state, the enzyme‐like activity of GC@Pd adapts to catalase‐like activity, effectively eliminating reactive oxygen species at the site of inflammation. Additionally, GC@Pd could selectively capture pro‐inflammatory cytokines through Michael addition reactions. In vivo experiments and transcriptomic analysis confirmed that GC@Pd could accelerate the wound transition from inflammatory to proliferative phase by eliminating biofilm infection and reducing the inflammatory response, thus promoting diabetic chronic wound healing. The nanodecoy provides a potential therapeutic strategy for treating biofilm‐infected diabetic chronic wounds.

A novel sandwich ELISA method for quantifying CHI3L1 in blood serum and cerebrospinal fluid multiple sclerosis patients using sustainable photo-irradiated zero-valence gold nanoparticles

Abstract: The widespread occurrence of chronic demyelinating MS presents a significant challenge for ongoing research aimed at comprehending its progression, diagnosis, and treatment. In our research, we have devised a novel approach to quantify CHI3L1 (Chitinase-3-like protein 1), which has emerged as a valuable biomarker in MS because of its involvement in inflammation, tissue remodeling, and immune response—crucial factors in regulating damaged nerve cells and preventing their accumulation in the brain, utilizing sandwich ELISA technology. This innovative method primarily depends on gold nanoparticles synthesized through a novel process of photo-irradiation with ultraviolet light. The crystal structure and particle size of sustainable zero-valent gold nanoparticles were measured using X-ray diffraction (XRD), which proved the cubic shape, with a cubic unit cell edge length of 4.0095 Å. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) demonstrated that the distribution of Au NPs is uniform, with an average diameter of 22 nm. The UV–Vis spectrum, displaying a pronounced absorbance peak at a wavelength of 548 nm, suggests the presence of Au NPs. The optimal conditions for the formation of the Au-biotinylated antibody-HRP complex were studied. The optimum pH was 7, the dilution ratio of AuNPs with biotinylated antibody-HRP was 1:3, and the concentration of nanogold was (1 × 10−3 mg/ml) to avoid increasing it. Then a standard curve was drawn for this method and compared to the traditional method, and it was found to be twice as sensitive as the traditional method, with a high accuracy of CV% (3–6 %) as well as a rapid color generation for measurement. This method, based on gold nanoparticles that are considered a carrier for biotinylated antibody-HRP, was applied for the first time to measure CHI3L1 in the sera and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with multiple sclerosis, and the results demonstrated the accuracy and sensitivity of the method. The method has the potential to be an excellent tool for evaluating CHI3L1 and may have applications in other diseases for rapid diagnosis and timely treatment.

Family and community resilience: a Photovoice study

Abstract: Abstract Background Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), in combination with adverse community environments, can result in traumatic stress reactions, increasing a person’s risk for chronic physical and mental health conditions. Family resilience refers to the ability of families to withstand and rebound from adversity; it involves coping with disruptions as well as positive growth in the face of sudden or challenging life events, trauma, or adversities. This study aimed to identify factors contributing to family and community resilience from the perspective of families who self-identified as having a history of adversity and being resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This study used Photovoice, a visual participatory research method which asks participants to take photographs to illustrate their responses to a research question. Participants consisted of a maximum variation sample of families who demonstrated family level resilience in the context of the pair of ACEs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Family members were asked to collect approximately five images or videos that illustrated the facilitators and barriers to well-being for their family in their community. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted using the SHOWeD framework to allow participants to share and elucidate the meaning of their photos. Using thematic analysis, two researchers then independently completed line-by-line coding of interview transcripts before collaborating to develop consensus regarding key themes and interpretations. Results Nine families were enrolled in the study. We identified five main themes that enhanced family resilience: (1) social support networks; (2) factors fostering children's development; (3) access and connection to nature; (4) having a space of one’s own; and (5) access to social services and community resources. Conclusions In the context of additional stresses related to the COVID-19 pandemic, resilient behaviours and strategies for families were identified. The creation or development of networks of intra- and inter-community bonds; the promotion of accessible parenting, housing, and other social services; and the conservation and expansion of natural environments may support resilience and health.

Semimetallization induced Hall anomaly in doped polymers

Abstract: Hall anomaly related to deviations in Hall carrier concentrations have always been recognized as signs of charge incoherence in organic semiconductors, which lack ordered lattices. In this paper, we show that the Hall carrier concentration anomaly in doped polymers might be a result of semimetallization. Based on the observation of semimetal-like states, a dual-channel model, in which electrons and holes compensate the Hall voltages of each other, is employed to account for the anomaly. Observations of possible nonlinear Hall effect and temperature dependent Hall signs further support the origin of Hall anomaly from semimetal states.

Role of multilayer flow modulator stents in the treatment of arterial aneurysms

Abstract: Arterial aneurysms remain a significant public health problem because they often result in death when ruptured; therefore, they require immediate medical treatment. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has recently become the primary treatment option, owing to the fewer side effects compared to those with open surgery. However, stents used for conventional EVAR often cause side-branch occlusion, which alters the perfusion of vital organs. Recently, multilayer flow modulator (MFM) stents have been used as a new treatment for arterial aneurysms. These stents appear to be feasible owing to their unique design consisting of an uncoated three-dimensionally braided multilayered structure. MFM stents generally remodulate laminar flow and reduce the flow velocity in the aneurysmal sac, leading to thrombosis, which causes the aneurysm to shrink over time. Thus, they reduce the risk of mortality. Moreover, they reduce morbidity by preserving the side-branch blood flow. They can be easily applied to complex aneurysms and are ready to use without customization, which shortens the waiting time for interventions. This study aimed to evaluate the role of MFM stents in the treatment of arterial aneurysms based on available data.

An Unsupervised and End-to-End Registration Method Using Offset Field and Pseudodata for Video SAR Images

Abstract: Video synthetic aperture radar (video SAR) has been successfully applied in many fields and the registration of the video SAR images has been proven to be a crucial step in their preprocessing. However, video SAR images exhibit more severe image differences because of the unique imaging mechanism and the immature imaging methods. This results in existing registration methods failing to achieve satisfactory registration outcomes for video SAR images. The convolutional neural network (CNN) can contribute to improving registration performance. Nevertheless, CNN-based registration methods must be driven by a large amount of labeled data, which is impractical for video SAR images. Therefore, to tackle these problems, we propose an unsupervised end-to-end deep registration method for video SAR images. First, an end-to-end deep registration model (DRM) is proposed to improve the registration performance for video SAR images. In the proposed DRM, the offset field is utilized to indirectly calculate the registered parameters and we construct a CNN, MUnet, to regress the offset field accurately. We also develop a differentiable H-transform and a differentiable spatial transformation to implement the mapping from end to end while allowing DRM to backpropagate the losses during the training phase. Meanwhile, we borrow intensity-based methods to further optimize the registration results. Furthermore, we propose an unsupervised deep training strategy that can use the generated pseudodata with pseudolabel to train the proposed DRM in the absence of large amounts of labeled data. Experiment results on multiple data demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed registration method.

Potential of Radioactive Isotopes Production in DEMO for Commercial Use

Abstract: There is widespread use of nuclear radiation for medical imagery and treatments. Worldwide, almost 40 million treatments are performed per year. There are also applications of radiation sources in other commercial fields, e.g., for weld inspection or steelmaking processes, in consumer products, in the food industry, and in agriculture. The large number of neutrons generated in a fusion reactor such as DEMO could potentially contribute to the production of the required radioactive isotopes. The associated commercial value of these isotopes could mitigate the capital investments and operating costs of a large fusion plant. The potential of producing various radioactive isotopes was studied from material pieces arranged inside a DEMO equatorial port plug. In this location, they are exposed to an intensive neutron spectrum suitable for a high isotope production rate. For this purpose, the full 3D geometry of one DEMO toroidal sector with an irradiation chamber in the equatorial port plug was modeled with an MCNP code to perform neutron transport simulations. Subsequent activation calculations provide detailed information on the quality and composition of the produced radioactive isotopes. The technical feasibility and the commercial potential of the production of various isotopes in the DEMO port are reported.

Diversity of Rickettsia species in collected ticks from Southeast Iran

Abstract: Abstract Rickettsia occurs worldwide and rickettsiosis is recognized as an emerging infection in several parts of the world. Ticks are reservoir hosts for pathogenic Rickettsia species in humans and domestic animals. Most pathogenic Rickettsia species belong to the spotted Fever Group (SFG). This study aimed to identify and diagnose tick fauna and investigate the prevalence of Rickettsia spp. in ticks collected from domestic animals and dogs in the rural regions of Kerman Province, Southeast Iran. In this study, tick species (fauna) were identified and 2100 ticks (350 pooled samples) from two genera and species including Rhipicephalus linnaei (1128) and Hyalomma deteritum (972) were tested to detect Rickettsia genus using Real-time PCR. The presence of the Rickettsia genus was observed in 24.9% (95%CI 20.28–29.52) of the pooled samples. Sequencing and phylogenetic analyses revealed the presence of Rickettsia aeschlimannii (48.98%), Rickettsia conorii israelensis (28.57%), Rickettsia sibirica (20.41%), and Rickettsia helvetica (2.04%) in the positive samples. The results showed a significant association between county variables and the following variables: tick spp. (p < 0.001), Rickettsia genus infection in ticks (p < 0.001) and Rickettsia spp. (p < 0.001). In addition, there was a significant association between tick species and host animals (dogs and domestic animals) (p < 0.001), Rickettsia spp infection in ticks (p < 0.001), and Rickettsia spp. (p < 0.001). This study indicates a high prevalence of Rickettsia spp. (SFG) in ticks of domestic animals and dogs in rural areas of Kerman Province. The health system should be informed of the possibility of rickettsiosis and the circulating species of Rickettsia in these areas.

Diffusion-weighted imaging as a potential non-gadolinium alternative for immediate assessing the hyperacute outcome of MRgFUS ablation for uterine fibroids

Abstract: Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) as a potential non-gadolinium alternative for promptly assessing the hyperacute outcome of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatment for uterine fibroids. In this retrospective study we included 65 uterine fibroids from 44 women, who underwent axial DWI (b-value: 800 s/mm2) and contrast-enhanced (CE) MR within 15 min post-ablation. Two blinded observers independently reviewed the DWI findings of ablated necrotic lesions and measured their volumes on DWI and CE images. The post-ablation DWI images revealed clear depiction of ablative necrotic lesions in all fibroids, which were classified into two types: the bull’s eye sign (type 1) and the bright patch sign (type 2). The inter-observer intraclass correlation coefficient for classifying DWI signal types was 0.804 (p < 0.001). Volumetric analysis of ablated necrosis using DWI and CE T1-weighted imaging showed no significant variance, nor did the non-perfused volume ratios (all p > 0.05). Bland–Altman analysis revealed a mean difference of 2.38% and 1.71% in non-perfused volume ratios between DWI and CE, with 95% limits of agreement from − 19.06 to 23.82% and − 18.40 to 21.82%, respectively. The findings of this study support the potential of DWI as a viable non-gadolinium alternative for evaluating the hyperacute outcomes of MRgFUS ablation in uterine fibroids.

Machine learning-based diagnostic prediction of minimal change disease: model development study

Abstract: Abstract Minimal change disease (MCD) is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome. Due to its rapid progression, early detection is essential; however, definitive diagnosis requires invasive kidney biopsy. This study aims to develop non-invasive predictive models for diagnosing MCD by machine learning. We retrospectively collected data on demographic characteristics, blood tests, and urine tests from patients with nephrotic syndrome who underwent kidney biopsy. We applied four machine learning algorithms—TabPFN, LightGBM, Random Forest, and Artificial Neural Network—and logistic regression. We compared their performance using stratified 5-repeated 5-fold cross-validation for the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and the area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC). Variable importance was evaluated using the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method. A total of 248 patients were included, with 82 cases (33%) were diagnosed with MCD. TabPFN demonstrated the best performance with an AUROC of 0.915 (95% CI 0.896–0.932) and an AUPRC of 0.840 (95% CI 0.807–0.872). The SHAP methods identified C3, total cholesterol, and urine red blood cells as key predictors for TabPFN, consistent with previous reports. Machine learning models could be valuable non-invasive diagnostic tools for MCD.

Integrating Merkle Trees with Transformer Networks for Secure Financial Computation

Abstract: In this paper, the Merkle-Transformer model is introduced as an innovative approach designed for financial data processing, which combines the data integrity verification mechanism of Merkle trees with the data processing capabilities of the Transformer model. A series of experiments on key tasks, such as financial behavior detection and stock price prediction, were conducted to validate the effectiveness of the model. The results demonstrate that the Merkle-Transformer significantly outperforms existing deep learning models (such as RoBERTa and BERT) across performance metrics, including precision, recall, accuracy, and F1 score. In particular, in the task of stock price prediction, the performance is notable, with nearly all evaluation metrics scoring above 0.9. Moreover, the performance of the model across various hardware platforms, as well as the security performance of the proposed method, were investigated. The Merkle-Transformer exhibits exceptional performance and robust data security even in resource-constrained environments across diverse hardware configurations. This research offers a new perspective, underscoring the importance of considering data security in financial data processing and confirming the superiority of integrating data verification mechanisms in deep learning models for handling financial data. The core contribution of this work is the first proposition and empirical demonstration of a financial data analysis model that fuses data integrity verification with efficient data processing, providing a novel solution for the fintech domain. It is believed that the widespread adoption and application of the Merkle-Transformer model will greatly advance innovation in the financial industry and lay a solid foundation for future research on secure financial data processing.

Shielding Effectiveness of Textile Woven Fabric with Carbon Nanotubes Yarn

Abstract: This study explores the electromagnetic properties of flat textile products enhanced with carbon nanotube (CNT) threads used as the weft. CNT threads, fabricated via dry-spinning, were integrated into fabrics by wrapping them around steel threads to form a solenoid-like structure. To further improve electromagnetic attenuation, the CNT yarn was coated with graphene oxide and silver nanoparticles. The research assessed the impact of these modifications on the fabric’s ability to attenuate alternating electromagnetic fields across a range of frequencies. Results showed enhanced attenuation at 30 MHz and 500 MHz. CNT yarn wrapped around steel threads achieved attenuation efficiencies of 18 dB at 30 MHz and 22 dB at 500 MHz, with a notable 10 dB improvement at 30 MHz over the reference. Fabrics with CNT yarn coated with graphene oxide demonstrated similar performance to the reference fabric at 500 MHz and an 8 dB increase at 30 MHz. Similarly, CNT yarn with silver nanoparticles showed comparable performance at higher frequencies but matched the reference at 30 MHz. These results indicate significant enhancement at lower frequencies, with benefits diminishing at higher. This study underscores the potential of integrating CNTs and metal nanoparticles into textiles to improve electromagnetic shielding, especially across specific frequencies.

Establishment of Biocontrol Agents and Their Impact on Rhizosphere Microbiome and Induced Grapevine Defenses Are Highly Soil-Dependent

Abstract: With a reduction in available chemical treatments, there is an increased interest in biological control of grapevine trunk diseases. Few studies have investigated the impact of introducing beneficial microorganisms in the rhizosphere on the existing indigenous soil microbiome. In this study, we explored the effect of two biocontrol agents (BCAs), Trichoderma atroviride SC1 (Ta SC1) (Vintec; Certis Belchim) and Bacillus subtilis PTA-271 (Bs PTA-271), on the grapevine rhizosphere bacterial and fungal microbiome as well as plant defense expression using high-throughput amplicon sequencing and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), respectively. Additionally, we quantified both Ta SC1 and Bs PTA-271 in the rhizosphere over time using droplet digital PCR. The fungal microbiome was more affected by factors such as soil type, BCA treatment, and sampling time compared with the bacterial microbiome. Specifically, Ta SC1 application produced negative impacts on fungal diversity, whereas application of BCAs did not affect bacterial diversity. Interestingly, the survival and establishment of both BCAs showed opposite trends depending on the soil type, indicating that the physicochemical properties of soils have a role in BCA establishment. Fungal co-occurrence networks were less complex than bacterial networks but highly impacted by Ta SC1 application. Soils treated with Ta SC1 presented more complex and stable co-occurrence networks, with a higher number of positive correlations. Induced grapevine defenses also differed according to the soil, being more affected by BCA inoculation on sandy soil. The findings of this research emphasize the complex relationships among microorganisms in the rhizosphere and highlight the significance of taking into account various factors, such as soil type, sampling time, and BCA treatment, and their influence on the structure and dynamics of microbial communities.
