[para. 1]: "Diaspora is a difficult concept to define. From the Greek for "to sow over," a diaspora is a scattering of people across different nations. Some people understand diaspora to mean a dispersal caused by a particular historical trauma; others use the word to describe any form of migration away from some place to which a group has been attached for generations. In the context of the Black Diaspora, these different approaches comprise a debate over whether the Black Diaspora includes only those whose dispersal is a result of transatlantic slavery, or all peoples of African descent living outside of the continent. Other definitions insist on including continental Africans, more recent Caribbean movements and migrations, and other, multidirectional contemporary migrations, virtually global in their routes and settlements. However the term is defined, it suggests a certain bond based on common ancestry, history, culture, and experiences. It also signals a way of self-understanding that extends beyond the borders of the nation in which one lives. The Black diaspora can therefore also highlight individual and community identifications that are used to understand questions of exclusion and unbelonging."
Comparative Analysis of Banana Detection Models
Authors: Haris Rangkuti Abdul , Hasbi Athala Varyl , Lun Lau Sian , Aryanto Rudi
Published: March 2024

This study aims to compare and evaluate the performance of banana detection models utilizing deep learning techniques and the Darknet algorithm. The objective is to identify the most effective approach for accurately detecting bananas in various real- world scenarios. The analysis involves training and testing multiple models using different datasets and evaluating their performance based on precision, recall, and overall accuracy. The results provide valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, enabling researchers and practitioners to make informed decisions when implementing banana detection systems. To detect banana objects, several convolutional neural network (CNN) models were used, including MobileNetV2, YOLOv3-Nano, YOLO Fastest 1.1, YOLOv3-tiny-PRN, YOLOv4-tiny, YOLOv7, and DenseNet121-YOLOv3. The training process utilizes the Darknet algorithm to facilitate the identification of banana types/classes captured by a camera, resulting in an MP4 film file. In this research, various experiments were carried out using different CNN models. However, these six models achieve optimal accuracy above 80%. Among them, the YOLOv7 model shows the highest average accuracy (MAP) at 100%, followed by the small model YOLOv4 at 92%. Meanwhile, for performance measurements, the accuracy of the YOLOv4-tiny model was 87%, followed by the YOLOv7 model at 84%. In the banana fruit experiment, several models showed very good performance, such as recognition of the Ambon, Kepok, and Emas banana classes up to 100% using the YOLOv7 and YOLOv4-tiny models. The YOLOv7 model itself can recognize other banana classes up to 100% in the Barangan, Rjbulu, Uli, and Tanduk classes. Furthermore, theYOLOv4-tiny model can recognize other banana classes, up to 90% of the Barangan, Rjbulu, Rjsereh, and Uli banana types. Thus, this experiment provides very good average accuracy results on 2 CNN models, namely YOLOv7 and YOLOv4-tiny. Future research will involve grouping pictures of bananas, which produces different image shapes, so it requires a different way to recognize them. It is hoped that this research can become a basis for further research in this field.
Homonymy Related English Vocabulary Learning: Investigating the Difficulties of the Third Year Students
Authors: Hussein Zina Ali
Published: March 2024

Homonymy, as a type of lexical relations between words, is a significant linguistic phenomenon which has received a lot of attention in recent years. English contains numerous homonymous forms with different meanings, which often cause confusion for EFL/ESL learners. In line with that, this research was carried out primarily to investigate the linguistic difficulties of learning and teaching homonymy in English in the Yemeni context. Hence, this data-oriented descriptive study was designed to investigate the difficulties in learning using homonymous English words as the data of the study. A total sample of 80 third-year English major students and 20 of their teachers at the Faculty of Education, Aden, University of Aden, were selected randomly as the subjects for this study. The qualitative and quantitative data required for this investigation were collected by employing two research instruments: a diagnostic test and a questionnaire. The major findings of the study revealed that phonological and orthographical identities of homonymic words, ‘unrelatedness’ of meanings, similarity in pronunciation, insufficient vocabulary size and knowledge, inadequate practice, poor focus in the course materials and stereo-typed teaching methodology contribute to learner difficulties with homonymy. Significantly, the literature survey and the findings of this work would be a modest contribution to vocabulary teaching and learning with special reference to homonymy.

Нині одним із найскладніших завдань у правовому, політичному та економічному аспектах становлення України залишається юридична можливість отримання потерпілими сторонами морального та матеріального відшкодування за збитки, завдані під час російсько-української війни. Нетиповість підстав завдання шкоди, а саме ведення активної фази бойових дій, а також специфічність особи відповідача унеможливлюють ефективне використання звичних механізмів відшкодування завданих збитків. У розрізі цієї проблематики авторами статті визначено мету – комплексно дослідити сучасні правові інструменти національного спрямування, з використанням яких громадяни України, зокрема фізичні та юридичні особи, мають можливість відновити порушені права та отримати належні відшкодування. Для виконання поставленої мети автори детально вивчають правову природу концепції судового імунітету, його види, а також особливості й порядок застосування у разі притягнення РФ до юридичної відповідальності. Методологічну основу дослідження становить система загальнотеоретичних (методи абстрагування, дедукції, індукції, аналізу, а також системний підхід) і емпіричних методів (метод порівняння), які сприяють повноцінному висвітленню та об’єктивному аналізу предмета дослідження – внутрішніх репараційних ініціатив, ефективність яких забезпечується національними судами України. Висновки. Авторами визначено, що першим із можливих національних засобів реалізації репараційних ініціатив є звернення до суду з цивільним позовом у межах кримінального провадження. Водночас видається, що громадянам України буде вкрай важко з використанням інструментів кримінального провадження домогтися винесення обвинувального вироку. Виняток з цих справ становить відкриття кримінального провадження проти військовослужбовців Російської Федерації або будь-яких інших представників окупаційної адміністрації, винність яких доведена у встановленому законом порядку. За таких умов найбільш оптимальним варіантом для фізичних осіб буде звернення до суду на підставі правил цивільної юрисдикції, а для юридичних осіб – у межах господарського процесу.

Teaching History In Estonia Yesterday And Today
Authors: Oispuu Silvia
Published: March 2024

As you know, Estonian history, and therefore history teaching in Estonia, is very complicated. Estonians often have had to fight against foreign authorities even while these foreign invaders fought over Estonia among themselves. Estonia, or some part of it, was once governed by medieval orders of Germanic knights, by the kings of Denmark, Sweden, and Poland, by the Russian czars, and by both the Nazi and the Soviet governments. An independent Estonian Republic existed only from 1918 to 1940. According to the Peace Treaty of Tartu of February 2, 1920, Soviet Russia recognized Estonia as a de jure independent state and renounced voluntarily and forever all rights of sovereignty formerly held by Russia over the Estonian people and territory.

It has been more than twenty years since the first edition of Immanuel C.Y. Hsu's classic text on China's rise since the early Ch'ing dynasty, yet the book has remained almost unchallenged throughout that entire period. In fact, only recently with the publication of Jonathan Spence's The Search for Modern China, did serious students looking for a truly sophisticated and comprehensive overview of modem China even have an alternative.
"Great Issue" Format In The Ameican History Survey
Authors: Simons William , LaPotin Armand
Published: March 2024

The basic American history survey at the State University of New York, College at Oneonta, is similar to that of other public undergraduate institutions with liberal arts and pre-professional programs. Approximately five sections of our "Problems in U.S. History I" (1607-1877) are offered in the fall semester and an equal number of the second half (1877-the present) are scheduled in the spring semester for mostly freshmen and sophomores who generally have little or no history background. They register for the course to meet our basic curriculum requirements, those of pre-professional education programs, and/or out of a personal interest in the history of their own country. Each of the six instructors who teach the course have full individual autonomy in the selection of topics, reading materials, and visual aids.
As instructors who teach the course on a regular basis, we have become increasingly dissatisfied with its format. Although we believe that our sections effectively provide a comprehensive survey of American development, their broad chronological scope eschews in-depth examination of topics. Like most survey courses at present, they opt for breadth at the expense of depth. Equally challenging to us as instructors is the diversity of our students' intellectual and cultural backgrounds as well as their apathy and often limited knowledge of America's development as a nation. Clearly then, some method of instruction had to be found that would meet our concerns.
One Night In January
Authors: Rottmann Larry
Published: March 2024

On a dark, bitter evening in January 1990, I found myself standing with a small group of students, faculty, and townspeople on the mall in front of the university bookstore. I was cradling a small white candle inside a paper cup, trying to prevent an icy wind from blowing out the tiny fragile flame. The two dozen or so folks huddled around me were subdued, silent, nearly stunned. No one was speechifying. No one was chanting. No one was even carrying placards.
Most of those in the little crowd were too young--thankfully--to know how to effectively plan or execute a peace demonstration. So it was mostly by word-of-mouth and common concern that we had gathered together than night; because once again, the United States was stumbling into a big war. And once again, some of us ordinary citizens felt angry, helpless, and disheartened.
Woolf, Napoleon's Integration of Europe
Authors: Luehrs Robert
Published: March 2024

Stuart J. Woolf, who has previously written on fascism and on the social and economic history of early modern Europe, here offers a volume for those already familiar with the basic political and military story of the Napoleonic epoch. This work addresses the perplexing situation that has faced every conqueror since Sargon of Akkad first extended his dominion over the peoples of Mesopotamia: Once the battles are over, how are the myriad cultures, heritages, and institutions of the subdued to be united under some semblance of coherent administration? The transformation of coercion into legitimacy is ever the key to successful and stable empire; it is also Woolf's concern with respect to Napoleon's hegemony in Europe.

Who was responsible for the outbreak of war in Europe, during the summer of 1914? The question of accountability is still an absorbing one for scholars, despite the intervening decades . In fact, the old arguments over "war guilt" have taken on renewed significance in light of the current instability in the Balkans. Two recent books that address the events that led to World War I are The Origins of the First World War, by Ruth Henig. and The Outbreak of World War I, edited by Holger H. Herwig.
Doran & Durston, Princes, Pastors, and People - The Church and Religion in England, 1529-1689
Authors: Skeeters Martha
Published: March 2024

In 1529 while the English church remained a part of the church of Rome, events were already undermining this union. Henry VIII was seeking the Pope's annulment of his marriage, and what would become known as the Reformation Parliament began meeting. The Pope's refusal of the Crown's demand culminated in the creation of a separate English church headed by the King. Over the next century-and-a-half, state actions and religious change led to ecclesiastical fragmentation that culminated in the Act of Toleration of 1689. This recognition and legalization of the many dissenting religious groups alongside the official state church has lasted to the present day.

Patterson, Martin Luther King, Jr., And The Freedom Movement,
Authors: Greene Larry
Published: March 2024

Martin Luther King, Jr. died more than twenty years ago and it has been more than a quarter of a century since the passage of the historic Voting Rights Act of 1965. Since that time, scholarly works on the civil rights movement and King have been published at a rapidly accelerating rate as those turbulent years recede into historical memory. For secondary school and college students, the civil rights years have a fascinating and even romantic quality that generates interest in American history surveys and in specialized courses either on the movement itself, or on the 1960s.
Welfare assessment of dairy cows in commercial farms in Chattogram, Bangladesh
Authors: Alam Mohammad Rashedul , Amin Al , Islam Md Jahirul , Shaikat Amir Hossan , Pasha Md Ridoan , Doyle Rebecca E
Published: March 2024

Background
Dairy farming is a major component of livestock in Bangladesh. However, a baseline study on the welfare of dairy cattle in Bangladesh is still new. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was performed to assess the present welfare status of dairy cows at the farm level.
Method
A total of thirty-six dairy farms of Chattogram having a total of 1110 cross-bred multiparous lactating cows were studied to assess the health and welfare through farm investigation and animal-based measurements using a well-structured questionnaire. Data regarding farm management were collected by observation of the farm and interviewing the farmers. On the other hand, the cows were observed to identify the disorders with a special focus on the hock, claw, and hoof abnormalities. The data were then analyzed using Stata-14 and p<0.05 was taken as significant.
Results
The study showed that most of the farms used an intensive system (75%) while 47 and 17% of the farms had moderately dirty or dirty floors, respectively. Improper manure disposal led to heavy fly infestation (33%). Lameness and stereotypy behaviors were found in 12% and 14% of animals, respectively. Hock, claw, and hoof abnormalities were found in 30, 37, and 28% of the animals, respectively, whereas injuries were observed in 19% of the cows. About 25% of the injuries occurred in face-out rearing systems; 1.8 times more than the face-in systems. Moreover, cows on farms with bad drainage systems were 2.4 times more likely to have injuries compared with cows reared on farms with good drainage systems. It was also observed that hock and hoof abnormalities were significantly (p<0.05) associated with the quality and conditions of floor, and drainage systems.
Conclusions
These results suggest that the welfare of dairy cows in the commercial farms in Chattogram of Bangladesh is compromised and needs to be improved for better production and profitability.

Budget Performance and Economic Growth in Nigeria: A Historical Review of the 4th Republic
Authors: O.S. Osadola  , T. W. Ojo  , S. A. Oludemi
Published: March 2024

This paper traced and analyses how effective or not, budget has been an instrument of policy achievement in governance in Nigeria. It examines the relationship between budget performance and economic growth in Nigeria over the course of the 4th Republic (1999-2019). Budget performance in Nigeria has been characterized by both successes and challenges, including increased transparency and accountability, and efforts to invest in infrastructure and social services, as well as inadequate resource allocation, poor project planning and execution, and high levels of corruption. Economic growth in Nigeria has also been mixed over the past two decades, with a period of growth and stability in the late 1990s and early 2000s followed by a period of economic slowdown and instability due to declining oil prices and other factors. In recent years, Nigeria has made efforts to diversify its economy and has achieved some growth, but the country continues to face significant economic challenges. While it is difficult to draw a direct causal link between budget performance and economic growth, it is likely that improved budget performance, particularly in the areas of transparency, accountability, and resource allocation, could contribute to more sustainable economic growth in the country.

У статті висвітлено системну цілісність стильових ознак сучасних духовних пісень, які проявляються через сукупність мелодико-інтонаційних констант, характерних для виконання хорового ансамблю «Воскресіння» (поєднання інтонаційно-стильових особливостей традиційних духовних піснеспівів та сучасної пісні, стилістика музичного супроводу, використання характерних ритмічних побудов, хорових підголосків тощо). В авторських оригінальних духовних піснях хорового ансамблю органічно співіснують засоби сучасної музичної мови та глибокі філософсько-екзистенційні тексти. У розкритті образного змісту пісні, її ідеї і тематики, використовується онтологічний підхід, що характеризує ще одну особливість виконавського стилю цього колективу. Стилістичні особливості сучасних духовних пісень потребують подальшого вивчення з метою популяризації їх в контексті сучасного духовно-мистецького культурного простору.

Published: March 2024

Метою статті є висвітлення авторської композиторської інтерпретації (концепції) «нового звуку», за допомогою музично-комп’ютерного забезпечення, на прикладі власних композицій. Залучення певних нових засобів у галузі електроакустичної музики застосовано із метою отримання нових художніх результатів, звукових текстур, створення нової темброво-акустичної тканини та пошуку нових шляхів синтезу, обробки акустики приміщення в реальному часі у поєднанні з електронікою. Методи дослідження містять аналіз процесів синтезу створенного звукового матеріалу в умовах певної локації. Наукова новизна статті полягає у презентації авторських поглядів та композиторських рішень в процесі формування та створення звуку за допомогою ком’ютера і новітніх технологій, експериментальних досліджень гри з акустичним простором через звукову інсталяцію, як особливого методу звукової презентації та комунікації між композитором та слухачами. Висновки. У результаті реалізованих інсталяцій, експериментів з оточуючим простором, були досягнуті певні параметри звуку та відповідна послідовність дій. Вони містять акустичні заміри самої локації, попередні акустичні та параметричні вимірювання на початковому етапі здійснення звукової інсталяції, необробленого приміщення для вимірювання реальних акустичних дефектів, пов'язаних із спектральною інтерференцією низькочастотних звукових хвиль. Проведені інсталяцїї надали можливість синтезувати та обробити звукові джерела на локаціях в університетах за їх напрямом, створити  тембро-фактурні та спектральні рішення з новими звуковими джерелами широкого спектру. Композитор, таким чином, поповнює новими звуко-тембральними текстурами у вигляді аудіо-контейнерів власну бібліотеку, що в майбутньому буде використано у нових просторових композиціях.

Introduction  COVID-19 is a relevant issue for scientists around the world. Considering the development of numerous complications due to COVID-19, the search for diagnostic approaches for the timely detection of probable lesions of the nervous system is urgent.
Objectives  was to determine the diagnostic and prognostic value of the NSE marker in children with COVID-19 regarding the complicated course and symptoms of nervous system damage.
Materials and methods  We conducted a cohort, observational, retrospective study involving 88 children aged 1 month to 18 years with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by PCR. Blood serum was collected for the study to assess the level of the neurobiomarker NSE by enzyme immunoassay. We divided patients into two cohorts according to the course of the disease - the main one, which included 42 patients with a complicated course of COVID-19, and a control group - 46 patients with an uncomplicated course of the disease. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the hospital. Results: In the patients of the control group, NSE was observed at the level of 12.1±1.2 μg/l, while in the children of the main one, the indicator reached 16.9±1.5 μg/l (p=0.087). Increase in the level of NSE above 15 μg/L associated with a significant increase in the risk of the appearance of clinical symptoms of damage to the nervous system and a complicated course in children with COVID-19 (p<0.05). We noted a tendency towards an increase in NSE with increased ESR indicators >10mm/h (p<0.1), a decrease in PTI <85% (p=0,03) and an increase in D-dimer >2.5mg/l (p<0.1).
Conclusions  We found the diagnostic and prognostic value of the NSE marker in children with COVID-19 regarding the complicated course and symptoms of nervous system damage.

Authors: Huy Tran Quang , Nguyet Nguyen Thi , Nguyet Nguyen Minh , Truong Pham Van
Published: March 2024

Objective To test the mediating role of self-care behavior in the relationship between health literacy and BP control in older adults with hypertension.

Material and methods A cross-sectional study design was used. We enrolled 220 older adult patients with hypertension at one teaching hospital in Vietnam. Logistic regression and linear regression were conducted to test the mediation effect of self-care behavior in the relationship between health literacy and BP control.

Results and discussion Self-care behavior mediated the relationship between health literacy and BP control. The significant coefficient of path a (β = 0.019, p < .001), and path c (β = -0.054, p < .001) suggested a significant effect of health literacy on self-care behavior, and a significant total effect of health literacy on BP control, while the non-significant coefficient of path b (β = -0.012, p = .577) suggested a non-significant effect of self-care behavior on BP control. Additionally, the significant coefficient of path c’ (β = -0.053, p < .001) suggested a mediation model, that is, self-care behavior mediated the relationship between health literacy and BP control.

Conclusion Self-care behavior is observed as a mediating factor in the relationship between health literacy and blood pressure (BP) control among older adults with hypertension in Vietnam.

Salivary tumour necrosis factor-alpha as a diagnostic marker of desquamative gingivitis
Authors: Khan Saif , Bey Afshan , Bansal Pankaj , Moin Shagufta , Rahman Syed Ziaur
Published: March 2024

Background Desquamative gingivitis (DG) is a non-plaque induced gingival disease. Clinical examination coupled with histopathological and immunofluorescence studies diagnose it, however, diagnosis of about one-third of DG cases is still elusive which leads to poor clinical outcomes. Therefore, biomarker profiling of DG will help in predicting better treatment outcomes. The objective of the study was to evaluate the salivary TNF-α as a biomarker of DG and compare it with chronic gingivitis (CG) and clinically healthy (CH) subjects.

Materials and Methods A case-control study was done with 94 subjects having; DG (n=31), chronic gingivitis CG (n=31), and clinically healthy CH (n=32) were recruited in the study after they fulfilled subject selection criteria and signed the consent form. Detailed history and clinical examination were done. Subjects were told to abstain from eating 2 hours before saliva collection. Three ml of saliva was collected in the saliva collection tubes between 9 AM to 12 PM. The collected samples were stored at -80 centigrade and TNF-α levels were assessed employing an ELISA technique (R&D systems). The data were analyzed using SPSS (Version 20, IBM, USA) statistical software.

Results Salivary TNF-α levels were significantly increased in DG (33.71±12.15 pg/ml,) as compared to CH (5.99±2.11) and CG (13.48±1.16 pg/ml) subjects. The receiver operating curve (ROC) of DG for salivary TNF-α biomarker showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.973.

Conclusion Salivary TNF-α is a good diagnostic biomarker that is significantly increased in desquamative gingivitis.

Authors: Kumar Naveen , Eldaw Elamin Abdalla Ahmed , Paul Vijay Samuel , Bhat Kumar MR
Published: March 2024

Axillary arch is an anatomical variant musculo-tendinous structure that originates from the latissimus dorsi muscle and often inserted to the pectoralis major muscle. Being musculo-tendinous, its one end is generally muscular and another end is tendinous. Here we report a variant muscular arch with its both ends muscular and were joined by an intermediate tendinous slip; thus, the name digastricus axillary arch. This variant form of axillary arch was encountered unilaterally in an elderly female cadaver and appeared to be compressing the neurovascular structures at the vicinity of axilla. Presence of axillary arch known to cause various complications such as brachial plexus compression, hyperabduction syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome etc. The clinicians, therefore must have a prior knowledge of rare existence of axillary arch muscle before considering differential diagnosis in the patients presenting upper extremity neurovascular symptoms without demonstrable compressions

Published: March 2024

Background: Forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals (FDMNs) are one of the most persecuted minorities groups, suffering from an abundance of health issues. They are exposed to a wide range of stressful events that are associated with adverse health consequences, which leads to decreased life expectancy due to increased morbidity and mortality. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional survey among conveniently selected 203 healthcare workers (HCWs) to assess the health state and barriers to the provision of health services to FDMNs in the Kutupalong and Balukhali camps at Ukhiya Upazilla, Cox's Bazar. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews by using a semi-structured questionnaire. Results: The mean age of the HCW was 29.2±3.6 years and mean service duration was 5.8±4.1 months. Most of the health facilities provided treatment for CDs (62.5%) and NCDs (80.0%). About one-third of the facilities had no laboratory facilities for diagnosing CDs (32.2%) and NCDs (40.0%). More than half of HCCs (55.0%) were maintain sterilization processes, such as boiling (90.9%), chemical components (45.5%) and an autoclave machine (13.6%). One-fourth of the HCWs (25.6%) get training during their joining times and above two-thirds of the HCWs (69.5%) received training after joining their service. The most frequently cited challenges faced during the provision of health services were transportation barriers (96.4%), language barriers (87.2%), scarcity of drugs (67.5%), vague disease histories (60.9%), unfavorable weather (59.4%) and electricity problems (44.7%). Conclusion: This study suggests that an organized primary healthcare service, specially designed for communicable and non-communicable disease prevention and management is necessary to improve health condition of FDMNs.
