“…In our study, we have focused on the case of spherical, isotropic systems with the goal of understanding the limitations of Jean analyses even in the absence of challenges that are known to complicate studies that use this method, such as background contamination (e.g., Ichikawa et al 2017Ichikawa et al , 2018Horigome et al 2020), the effect of assuming equilibrium for systems which are not in equilibrium (El-Badry et al 2017), the assumption of sphericity for systems which are nonspherical (Bonnivard et al 2015;Klop et al 2017), the degeneracy between the enclosed mass and velocity anisotropy (e.g., Merrifield & Kent 1990;Wilkinson et al 2002;Lokas & Mamon 2003;De Lorenzi et al 2009;Read & Steger 2017;Genina et al 2019), and the presence of potentially large fractions of binary stars in the dwarf galaxies (e.g., McConnachie & Côté 2010;Minor et al 2010;Geha et al 2013;Spencer et al 2017Spencer et al , 2018Minor et al 2019).…”

The distribution of dark matter in dwarf galaxies can have important implications on our understanding of galaxy formation as well as the particle physics properties of dark matter. However, accurately characterizing the dark matter content of dwarf galaxies is challenging due to limited data and complex dynamics that are difficult to accurately model. In this paper, we apply spherical Jeans modeling to simulated stellar kinematic data of spherical, isotropic dwarf galaxies with the goal of identifying the future observational directions that can improve the accuracy of the inferred dark matter distributions in the Milky Way dwarf galaxies. We explore how the dark matter inference is affected by the location and number of observed stars as well as the line-of-sight velocity measurement errors. We use mock observation to demonstrate the difficulty in constraining the inner core/cusp of the dark matter distribution with datasets of fewer than 10,000 stars. We also demonstrate the need for additional measurements to make robust estimates of the expected dark matter annihilation signal strength. For the purpose of deriving robust indirect detection constraints, we identify Ursa Major II, Ursa Minor, and Draco as the systems that would most benefit from additional stars being observed.

“…Kaempferia parviflora memiliki senyawa polymethoxyflavonoid, selain berpotensi sebagai antiinflamasi senyawa polymethoxiflavonoid juga berpotensi sebagai anti-degranulasi. Pada pengujian menggunakan sel RBL-2H3, polymethoxyflavonoid tidak menghambat ekspresi dari mRNA mediator inflamasi namun menghambat sekresi proteinnya sehingga polymethoxyflavonoid menghambat mekanisme sekresi dari mediator inflamasi dan didapatkan hasil IC50 sebesar 19.2 µM [21].…”

Kaempferia is one of the important in zingiberaceae family that can be found in Southeast Asia. Several species of kaempferia are used in spices and traditional medicines such as anti-inflammatory. Tracing results on the kaempferia genus showed that 6 species had anti-inflammatory activity. This antiinflammatory in the kaempferia genus is caused by the presence of chalcone, flavonoids, and terpenoids compounds.

“…A common and generally accepted conceptualization of social anxiety is that it is partly maintained through avoidance of feared situations (Clark and Wells, 1995;Wong et al, 2014) in which an individual may feel exposed to potentially painful social rejection or criticism (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Consequently, treatment usually involves some degree of exposure to feared situations (Parker et al, 2018;Horigome et al, 2020). As social interactions require practice, it is likely that a lack of them may foster fears about one's social performance.…”

A consistent association has been observed between internet addiction and symptoms of social anxiety. However, there is a lack of empirical research that delves into potential explanations for this relationship and its directionality, making it difficult to translate findings into development of interventions for social anxiety that account for technology-related behaviors. The present study aimed to evaluate the longitudinal dynamics between internet addiction, symptoms of social anxiety, avoidance of social interactions, and using the internet to cope with loneliness. By means of an ecological momentary assessment study, we evaluated a sample of 122 young adults from Chile using intensive self-report measurements five times a day, for a period of 10 days. Using mixed-effects models, we examined the directionality between internet addiction and symptoms of social anxiety, together with an explanation of their relationship. Results indicate that internet addiction antecedes symptoms of social anxiety; however, the reverse relationship was not observed. Furthermore, instances where individuals avoided social interactions or used the internet to cope with loneliness were predictive of later increases in levels of internet addiction, suggesting a vicious cycle. Significant heterogeneity was observed in these effects, highlighting the need for a more personalized approach when including technology-related behaviors in social anxiety interventions. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.
