BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP TRANSPARENCY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT OF MONEY LAUNDERING ACT INVOLVING CORPORATIONS

: Corporations have an important role in economic growth and national development. In corporate practice, there are times when committing criminal acts of money laundering that have a detrimental impact on the state and society. The corporation has the potential to become a means to commit criminal acts of money laundering with the aim of benefiting (beneficial owner). Thedistribution of beneficial owner information is an effort to realize corporate sustainability. Consistency of beneficial ownership transparency is needed to ensure law enforcement of money laundering crimes involving corporations. The purpose of this study is to find the role of beneficial owners in the misuse of corporations as a medium for money laundering crimes in Indonesia. This research method uses a normative juridical approach that focuses on data collection techniques in the form of secondary data which is also supported by interviews. The research specifications are descriptive analytical, with literature studies and field studies being the research stage, then the data is analyzed qualitatively. The results of the analysis show that the position of beneficial owners in the corporation can in practice control the corporation to carry out money laundering actions, which then the proceeds from the money laundering are enjoyed by the beneficial owner. Transparency of beneficial owner information is part of the framework of the principles of prevention and eradication of money laundering. Transparency of beneficial owner information can ensure the implementation of practices and concept development that is used as a means of orientation in the prevention and eradication of money laundering crimes involving corporations.
Physiological Change of Interleukin-1 Alpha (IL-1α) in Iraqi, Thi-Qar Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

— Background: IL-1α is pro-inflammatory cytokine. In healthy cells, the IL-1α precursor is essentially present in almost all cell types, but it becomes a bioactive mediator upon necrotic cell death. IL-1α is also expressed by infiltrating myeloid cells within injured tissues. Aim and Objective: In this review, we focus on the biology of IL-1, its relationship to polycystic ovarian syndrome, and its developing role in the development and maintenance of the inflammatory processes that underlie the pathophysiology of PCOS women. Materials and Methods: Between the ages of (16 and 43), the 75 female patients enduring polycystic ovary syndrome are compared to the (50) healthy females in the oversight group. IL-1 alpha concentrations were noticeably greater in PCOS women compared to the control group, with p-values between (0.05-0.01) indicating a significant difference. These findings examined a non-significant difference in IL- levels between PCOS women and the control group, according to BMI. The research showed that PCOS women had considerably more IL-1 than women without PCOS in all BMI groups. IL-1-, however, in PCOS women and the Control Group The present findings looked at a non-significant variation in IL-1-concentration between PCOS women and the control group, according to Age. According to Age, the current results investigated at a non-significant difference in the concentration of IL-1- in PCOS women and the control group. Conclusion: When comparable age groups for women with (PCOS) and controls were examined, the results showed a significant rise in PCOS cases at p. value < 0.05.
State recreational cannabis laws and racial disparities in the criminal justice system∗

Racial disparities in law enforcement of drug prohibition are widespread and longstanding, with Black communities being disproportionately affected. We studied the effect of cannabis legalization on racial disparities across the criminal justice continuum using a difference-in-differences framework. Legalization led to sizable reductions in arrest rates for cannabis possession and sales across all racial groups, resulting in declines in relative and absolute disparities for Black compared to White populations. While arrest rates for possession of other drugs did not change significantly, arrests for sales of other drugs decreased across all racial groups. However, declines in drug arrests were accompanied by offsetting increases in arrests for disorderly conduct and simple assault, which are less serious offenses that often reflect discretionary police behavior. These offsetting effects cannot be explained by greater state-level police capacity, nor by greater systemic violence. Although cannabis legalization may be a policy lever for addressing racial disparities, systemic and other factors may offset these equity gains.
INDONESIAN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS' INTEREST IN READING BOOKS

: This research aimed to investigate Indonesian junior high school students' interest in reading books in the digital era, the factors that influence their interest, and the teacher's efforts to increase their interest in reading books in the digital era. The participants of this study were the students and the English teacher of VIII A and VIII B classes of MTs Muhammadiyah 2 Kalijambe Sragen in the academic year 2021/2022. The researcher used a mixed-method research design using quantitative and qualitative data and analysis. The data were collected through interviews and observations. The results revealed that the students' interest in reading books in the digital era was 31%. Several factors influenced the students' interest in reading books, both internal and external. The students' willingness and laziness/boredom were revealed as the internal factors, while the external factors were gadgets, the types of text or reading materials, and free time. The teacher's efforts to increase the students' interest in reading were by providing interesting books, having reading activities together, creating a comfortable place and atmosphere, and analyzing texts together. This study implies the prominent role of a teacher in increasing students' interest in reading books.
The relationship between vitamin D and leptin levels in individuals with insulin-resistance

Previous studies have demonstrated a connection between vitamin D levels and insulin resistance (IR) as well as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The importance of vitamin D in the development of IR and T2DM in patients with overweight and obesity is confirmed. Previous studies have established a high frequency of deficiency and insufficiency of vitamin D in patients with T2DM. At the same time, there is no information on the connection between hypovitaminosis D and hyperleptinemia. Furthermore, whether this association differs between individuals with and without insulin resistance has not been established. Objective
STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND EMPLOYEES’ PERFORMANCE: THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF ETHICAL CLIMATE IN THE NIGERIAN AVIATION INDUSTRY

In this study, the researchers investigated the causal influence from strategic management practice to employee’s performance using three competing techniques, MLE, GLS and ADFE, for a sample of Nigerian aviation industry. The three techniques provided a unanimous evidence that strategic planning and strategic management/evaluation maintained positive relationship with employee’s contribution to time management, while, we found that employee’s performance is not significantly sensitive to strategic formulation. Thus, the study recommended that employees should reduce their productive hours, required to formulate policies, rather they should allocate much hours in the process that leads to the achievement of the overall goal of the organization.
Impact of diabetes mellitus on the frequency of post-operative complications after carotid endarterectomy.

BACKGROUND There is significant controversy surrounding the link between diabetes mellitus and post-operative complications after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The aim of this study was to identify the possible effects of diabetes on the frequency of post-operative complications after CEA. METHODS This prospective study was conducted at the Dedinje Clinic for Vascular Surgery, Belgrade. The patients who underwent CEA were divided into two groups: group A (37.7%) included 98 (35.1%) insulin-dependent and 181 (64.9%) insulin-independent diabetic patients, and group B (62.3%) comprised non-diabetic subjects. RESULTS The pre-operative characteristics were similar, except for a greater prevalence of dyslipidaemia in patients with diabetes. Post-operative cardiac events occurred more often in patients with diabetes (3.6%) than in non-diabetic patients (1.1%) (p = 0.039); post-operative neurological events among patients with diabetes were 3.6% and among non-diabetics, 0.9% (p = 0.009). Peri-operative mortality rate was 2.5% in the diabetic group and 0.9% in the non-diabetic group. The total percentage of post-operative complications was two or more times higher in the diabetic group than the non-diabetic group (8.5 vs 18.3%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Diabetes mellitus increased the surgical risk of CEA. Higher rates of mortality and post-operative complications were observed in patients being treated with oral antidiabetics than in those on insulin.
FACTORS INFLUENCING MENTAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH DURING PREGNANCY

The study aimed to evaluate maternal mental and psychological health throughout the pregnancy based on age, religion, and occupation. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 66 pregnant women from govt. and private hospitals in Coimbatore city who were admitted between December 2019 and January 2020 were selected as respondents.Purposive sampling method was applied to select the samples. A self-constructed tool on Pregnancy Psychological Status Scale (which assesses mental health) was developed and used to collect data from pregnant women. Results revealed that significant differences in mental and psychological health based on religion ( p =0.005) and occupation ( p <0.001). The overall level of psychological status (Mental health) among Hindu pregnant women was found better as compared to Muslims and Christians. Regarding occupation, housewives reported higher mental and psychological health followed by private and government employees. However, no significant differences could be seen among various age groups of pregnant women.
Cascaded particle filter for tracking using a single RGB-D sensor

This thesis presents a real-time coarse-to-fine human gait tracking system based on a cascaded particle filter using a single RGB-D sensor. The tracking system is a combination of two different layers which explores how the information between the two sensing modalities can be chained to distribute and share the implicit knowledge associated with the tracking environment. In the first layer, the RGB information is exploited for tracking the coarse body shape, when the prior estimate of the state of the object is distributed based on the hierarchical sampling. For the second layer, the segmented output is used for tracking marked feature points of interest in the depth image. Two approaches, spin image, and geodesic distance, for associating a measure of the estimates are used in this phase. The thesis exhibits the overall implementation of the proposed method combined with a series of experimental analysis.
Numerical Study of 3

Three dimensional boundary layer disturbance growth in natural convection adjacent to a uniformly heated vertical plate has been studied using a finite volume direct numerical simulation (DNS). The sequence of events associated with the intermediate stage of the spatial laminar-turbulent-transition for water, with Prandtl number Pr = 6.7 , for the Rayleigh numbers in the range Rax ≈ 1 × 1010 – 4 × 1013 , with perturbation parameters closely matching the experiment reported in [1], is investigated. Preliminary calculations confirm that this stage is characterized by the development of spatially periodic inner and outer span-wise vortices (shear layers), which travel in a differing fashion and speed; and a secondary mean flow system. The important route to natural convection flow breakdown, the arising of a double vortex mean longitudinal system, repeatedly suggested by past experiments, seems to be related to the complex and opposing behavior of these two layers.Copyright © 2010 by ASME

Received Feb 4, 2023 Revised Mar 15, 2023 Accepted Apr 7, 2023 The length of a news article may influence people’s interest to read the article. In this case, text summarization can help to create a shorter representative version of an article to reduce people’s read time. This paper proposes to use weighted word embedding based on Word2Vec, FastText, and bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) models to enhance the TextRank summarization algorithm. The use of weighted word embedding is aimed to create better sentence representation, in order to produce more accurate summaries. The results show that using (unweighted) word embedding significantly improves the performance of the TextRank algorithm, with the best performance gained by the summarization system using BERT word embedding. When each word embedding is weighed using term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF), the performance for all systems using unweighted word embedding further significantly improve, with the biggest improvement achieved by the systems using Word2Vec (with 6.80% to 12.92% increase) and FastText (with 7.04% to 12.78% increase). Overall, our systems using weighted word embedding can outperform the TextRank method by up to 17.33% in ROUGE-1 and 30.01% in ROUGE-2. This demonstrates the effectiveness of weighted word embedding in the TextRank algorithm for text summarization.
Study of plasma parameters in a pulsed plasma accelerator using triple Langmuir probe

A Triple Langmuir Probe (TLP) has been used to study plasma parameters of a transient plasma produced in a newly developed Pulsed Plasma Accelerator system. In this experiment, a TLP with a capacitor based current mode biasing circuit was used that instantaneously gives voltage traces in an oscilloscope which are directly proportional to the plasma electron temperature and density. The electron temperature (Te) and plasma density (ne) of the plasma are measured with the help of this probe and found to be 24.13 eV and 3.34 × 1021/m3 at the maximum energy (−15 kV) of the system, respectively. An attempt was also made to analyse the time-dependent fluctuations in plasma parameters detected by the highly sensitive triple probe. In addition to this, the variation of these parameters under different discharge voltages was studied. The information obtained from these parameters is the initial diagnostics of a new device which is to be dedicated to study the impact of high heat flux plasma stream upon material su.
Challenges to Health Information Dissemination in Tanzania and the Opportunities Provided by Chatbot in Swahili Language

To examine challenges to health-literacy with a focus on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Tanzania and to develop a Chatbot for NCDs in Swahili language. Objective: To examine the challenges of health information dissemination in Tanzania; to analyse the opportunities offered by Chatbot to address the challenges of health information dissemination in Tanzania; to assess the readiness of users on the acceptance of an interactive Chatbot for NCDs in Swahili Language. Method: Survey was conducted amongst a sample of 100 participants at Wazo ward, Dares-Salam; Chatbot was designed in Swahili and integrated into Facebook Messenger to eliminate the cost of the internet from the end-users. Results: Challenges to health-literacy includes: inaccurate, inconsistent, untrustworthy, unreliable, untimely, contradictory, and confusing information; popular media such as TV programs and the Internet presents no opportunity for feedback, requests, or clarifications. Others are language barrier; high cost of internet, poor connectivity, the ratio of healthcare providers to patients, poverty, and traditional beliefs. There is a general acceptance of receiving health information through messaging apps. Conclusions: Chatbot for NCDs in Swahili language ‘afyaBot' could be strategic in affording Tanzanians access to adequate and timely information on NCDs, improve health-literacy, and promoting good health. Stakeholders and public policymakers in the health sector will find the study useful.
Centralised and Decentralised Education: With the British Local Educational Authorities as the Representative of the Unfolding Discussion

In todays globalised and knowledge-based society, countries across the world are increasingly adopting different models to structure and organise their education systems. More subtly, countries are transitioning from centralised education systems to decentralised ones to create more local stakeholder influence on schools. England, which is known for self-managing schools, is a case in point. Striking an appropriate balance between centralisation and decentralisation remains a challenge, however. In this regard, this study sought to explore the innovative approaches of educational decentralisation in British local educational authorities and the challenges facing them, as well as the strategies adopted by British local educational authorities to overcome these challenges so as to provide reference to other countries. Desk-based research was used for data collection. The findings suggest that although a centralised education system is praised for reducing inequalities and standardisation, it often fails to reflect the specific needs of learners because the system is not school-led. On the other hand, a decentralised educational system is preferred in England for many reasons, including better information and targeting, greater voice and participation, innovative and creative approaches, and improved efficiency and strengthened accountability relationships. Despite this, however, it may encourage social inequalities, in addition to being captive of some elite groups or special interest groups. England adopts devolution as its approach to educational decentralisation. In addition to this general approach, school-based management is particularly used to empower local educators, students, and parents. However, the countrys education system is littered with educational inequalities. The system can also be captive of elite groups.
Three-dimensional organization and dynamics of vortices in multichannel swirling jets

The unsteady three-dimensional flow organization of jets issued from a duct with swirl vanes at Reynolds number equal to 1000 and swirl number $S$ ranging between 0 and 0.8 is investigated. Time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry returns the instantaneous flow structure and its evolution by visualization of velocity and vortical features. The most relevant coherent motions are identified and characterized with the aid of dynamic mode decomposition. The time-averaged flow topology indicates that the vanes used to impart the swirling motion have a significant impact on the azimuthal modulation of momentum, with the jet exhibiting four sectors separated by a thin cross-like wake resulting from the boundary layer developed along the vane walls. The flow field is thus characterized by inner and outer shear regions. An increase in swirl, up to moderate levels ( $S=0.4$ ), causes larger jet spreading angles. Further increase of the swirl number is accompanied by the appearance of a central recirculation zone due to vortex breakdown at $S=0.6$ which increases in size and is triggered upstream for increasing $S$ . Although no shear layer instability development is observed at $S=0$ , already at $S=0.2$ the swirling motion promotes the growth of helical vortices appearing as Kelvin–Helmholtz waves that deform the outer axial shear layer. The downstream evolution features successive pairing, which is observed for all the considered swirl numbers. The initial development of the instability is independent for each vane, whereas a mutual interaction between the vanes occurs after the vortex pairing. The reconnection from the four sectors vortices induces a significant increase of azimuthal vorticity, which affects the dynamical behaviour of the precessing vortex core. The latter is visualized by a low-order spatio-temporal reconstruction based on few dynamical modes. At a higher swirl number ( $S\geqslant 0.6$ ), the axial vorticity component dominates the flow field; it interacts with the azimuthal vorticity, which penetrates inward through the meanders of the vane wakes and forces the vortex core precession and breakdown.
Translaminar activity of different insecticides against Bemisia tabaci

One of the main mechanisms of action for many insecticides is translaminar redistribution or local systemic. The present study was carried out at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana during 2019 and 2020 to investigate the translaminar activity of different insecticides having different doses and sprays on treated brinjal plant having Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) nymphs. Different treatments, i.e. diafenthiuron 50% WP (150, 210, and 300 g a.i./ha), fenpropathrin 30% EC (50, 70, and 100 g a.i./ha), thiamethoxam 25% WG (25, 35, and 50 g a.i./ha), and deltamethrin 2.8% EC (7.5, 10.5 and 15 g a.i./ha) were frequently sprayed on brinjal plants (var. Hisar Shyamal) growing in pots. Insecticides effectiveness was measured through nymphal mortality of B. tabaci (whitefly). Similar study was conducted in 2020 to ensure reliability of results. The results revealed that, almost similar trendswere obtained during 2019 and 2020, hence proving reliability. Among all tested insecticides, maximum translaminar effect was observed in thiamethoxam 25% WG treated plant at 50 g a.i./ha (50.72% nymphal mortality). Whereas, deltamethrin 2.8% EC treated plant at 15 g a.i./ha showed minimum translaminar effect (0.63% nymphal mortality) as compared to other treatments. Translaminar effect of leaves treated with diafenthiuron 50% WP and fenpropathrin 30% EC was found at par with each other. Nymphal mortality is low in sub-lethal doses of insecticides as compared to lethal doses. It can be concluded that resistance may develop due to sub-lethal doses of insecticides. Farmers and agricultural experts would benefit from this study's findings.
Analytical study of land surface temperature with NDVI and NDBI using Landsat 8 OLI and TIRS data in Florence and Naples city, Italy

ABSTRACT The present study focuses on determining the relationship of estimated land surface temperature (LST) with normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and normalized difference built-up index (NDBI) for Florence and Naples cities in Italy using Landsat 8 data. The study also classifies different land use/land cover LU–LC) types using NDVI and NDBI threshold values, iterative self-organizing data analysis technique and maximum likelihood classifier, and analyses the relationship built by LST with the built-up area and bare land. Urban thermal field variance index was applied to determine the thermal and ecological comfort level of the city. Several urban heat islands (UHIs) were extracted as the most heated zones within the city boundaries due to increasing anthropogenic activities. The difference between the mean LST of UHI and non-UHI is 3.15°C and 3.31°C, respectively, for Florence and Naples. LST build a strong correlation with NDVI (negative) and NDBI (positive) for both the cities as a whole, especially for the non-UHIs. But, the strength of correlation becomes much weaker within the UHIs. Moreover, most of the UHIs (85.21% in Naples and 76.62% in Florence) are developed within the built-up area or bare land and are demarcated as an ecologically stressed zone.
