Authors:   Researcher, Departmnet of Management Sciences, SP Pune University, Ganeshkhind Rd, Ganeshkhind, Pune, Maharashtra 411007, India., Baporikar Neeta
Published: December 2024

Developing nations face sluggish growth in the horticulture sector which is seen in declining exports. Though government makes efforts by way of setting fresh produce hubs, agricultural loans, and agricultural extension services and training; imports for horticultural produce are not growing and local produce dominates only in informal markets. Namibia is no exception. Hence, adopting a qualitative research approach and data collection through semi-structured interviews, questionnaires surveys, document analysis, and observations, this study explores the role of competitive strategies to augment horticulture sector growth and development for the public advantage. Findings show that competitive strategies generally exist but are not diffused and adopted to their full potential. Sporadic cases of excelling in differentiation and niche market focus were found among the exporter commercial producers who were also excelling in the diffused and adopted attributes of competitive strategies. Recommendations are cooperative and government protection for smallholder producers and traders.

Published: December 2024

An experiment was conducted to see the effect of time and rootstock on the success of wood apple grafting. There were 2 factors in this experiment. Factor A consisted of three grafting time, viz. 15 May, 15 June and 15 July and factor B consisted of two rootstocks, viz. bael and wood apple. The highest (35.23 cm) plant ht. was observed on 15 May grafting followed by 15 June (28.87 cm) and the lowest plant ht. recorded from 15 July (26.82 cm). The maximum no. branch (1.67) and leaves (23.33) were found on 15 May. Minimum no. (10) leaves were recorded from 15 June but minimum no. (1.00) branches were recorded on 15 July. It was observed that wood apple rootstock performed better over bael rootstock in all the parameters studied from rootstock’s effect point of view. In case of combined effect it was revealed that in three grafting times wood apple rootstocks performed better over bael rootstocks in all the parameters studied except no. of branch.BARI wood apple-1 gave the highest no. of leaves (26.67) when they were grafted on wood apple rootstock on 15 May followed by 15 July x wood apple rootstock (22.67). The lowest no. leaves (6.67) produced from 15 June x bael rootstock. The highest (100%) and the lowest (10%) survivality were recorded from 15 June x wood apple rootstock and 15 July x bael rootstock, respectively.

Authors: Ma Yingjie
Published: December 2024

With the rapid development of internet finance, financial risk issues have become increasingly prominent, and traditional risk control models can no longer effectively address the complex and dynamic scenarios of internet finance. This paper leverages the advantages of machine learning algorithms to propose an internet financial risk control model based on machine learning. Firstly, the data characteristics of financial risk control scenarios are analyzed, and data preprocessing and feature extraction are performed to improve the quality of model input. Secondly, to meet different risk identification requirements, various machine learning algorithms, including decision trees, random forests, support vector machines, and deep learning models, are selected to construct and optimize the risk control model. Experimental verification and comparative analysis are conducted to evaluate the performance of each algorithm in risk control. The results demonstrate that the machine learning-based risk control model significantly outperforms traditional methods in terms of precision and recall for risk identification. Furthermore, real-world case studies validate the model's effectiveness, proving its practicality and reliability in the field of internet financial risk control. Finally, the paper summarizes the main conclusions of the research and proposes directions for further model optimization and scenario expansion, providing technical support and theoretical reference for internet financial risk control.

Authors: Zhao Yihan , Gaikwad Sophias.
Published: December 2024

Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), as a precious treasure of human historical culture, carries rich cultural information and emotional value. However, with the rapid development of modern society, the inheritance and protection of ICH face severe challenges. Universities, as significant bastions of cultural transmission, integrating ICH into public art education not only aids in the preservation and promotion of ICH but also enhances students' cultural literacy and creative capabilities. This paper begins by defining the concepts of ICH and public art education in universities, exploring the value of ICH in public art education, encompassing cultural inheritance and innovation, educational functions and nurturing values, as well as social services and cultural dissemination. On this foundation, the paper proposes specific implementation paths for the integration of ICH into university public art education, such as multi-dimensional curriculum design, a dual-track teaching model, a multi-level collaborative practice system, and a dynamic evaluation system. Through these measures, universities not only become crucial platforms for the transmission of ICH but also provide students with unique learning and creative opportunities, achieving a win-win outcome for culture and education.

Published: December 2024

In the telecom sector, which generates vast amounts of data daily due to its extensive client base, retaining present customers is more cost-effective than attaining new ones. Business analysts and CRM specialists must comprehend the reasons behind customer churn and identify behavioral patterns within client data. This study develops a churn forecast model employing clustering and classification algorithms to recognize churn consumers and highlight the factors influencing customer churn in the telecom industry. Feature selection is done using information gain and correlation feature ranking filters. The Random Forest (RF) algorithm achieved superior performance, correctly classifying 88.63% of churned customer data. An essential CRM function is to formulate effective retention strategies to prevent customer departure. Post-classification, the proposed model clusters the churned customer data and provides group-based retention strategies using cosine similarity among the groups. The performance of the model is assessed through metrics like precision, accuracy, recall, f-score, and ROC-AUC. The findings indicate that the RF algorithm enhances churn classification and customer profiling through k-means clustering, and the classification algorithm helps identify the factors driving customer churn through generated rules.

Published: December 2024

Mediterranean temporary rivers maintain a high biodiversity, although they support a significant anthropic influence. The community of aquatic Coleoptera and Hemiptera of the Arevalillo River (N Ávila province), a temporary river in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula, with a section previously restored. This restauration consisted in the reforestation of the riverside and the recovery of pools in the riverbed to ensure the maintenance of the water. The aim is to determine the composition of the aquatic Coleoptera and Hemiptera community, its seasonal variation and the differences between two sections with similar characteristics, restored and non-restored, on these groups of aquatic insects. 53 species of Coleoptera and 17 of Hemiptera were identified, most of them with a wide geographical distribution, although 21 new records were made for the province of Ávila. The richness of Coleoptera and Hemiptera doesn’t show significant differences between the two studied stations, but they are indeed observed for the benthic macroinvertebrate community as a whole.

Authors: Irsan Laila Yuniar , Hosnah Asmak Ul
Published: December 2024

Praktik pengumpulan informasi secara diam-diam oleh perwakilan diplomatik suatu negara atas hal-hal yang sangat sensitif dari negara penerima, telah menjadi isu yang serius dalam konteks hubungan internasional. Tindakan semacam ini, sering kali disebut sebagai spionase, tidak hanya melanggar kedaulatan negara penerima tetapi juga bertentangan dengan hukum internasional yang mengatur pengumpulan informasi secara sah. Akibatnya, tindakan spionase tidak hanya merusak hubungan diplomatik antar negara, tetapi juga menimbulkan konsekuensi hukum serius. Negara yang menjadi korban spionase memiliki hak untuk mengambil tindakan hukum, termasuk mengajukan kasus ke Mahkamah Internasional. Sementara itu, dalam konteks perang, perlindungan hukum terhadap agen mata-mata menjadi ketidakjelasan dalam hukum humaniter internasional. Konvensi yang mengatur perang tidak secara eksplisit mengatasi masalah ini. Oleh karena itu, urgensi perlindungan hukum terhadap agen mata-mata yang bertugas dalam perang menjadi perhatian utama dalam kerangka hukum humaniter internasional.

Authors: Suba Erika Yoberthin , Sahril Iran , Sudirman M.
Published: December 2024

Pasal 48 ayat (2) Undang-Undang Nomor 2 Tahun 2014 tentang Jabatan Notaris mengatur bahwa perubahan isi akta dapat dilakukan jika diparaf oleh penghadap, saksi, dan Notaris. Namun, dalam praktiknya, sering terjadi akta otentik mengenai perjanjian sewa menyewa yang direnvoi sepihak oleh penyewa tanpa sepengetahuan pemberi sewa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis akibat hukum dan kepastian hukum dari akta notaris yang direnvoi sepihak tersebut. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan jenis penelitian yuridis normatif, yaitu penelitian hukum kepustakaan atau data sekunder dengan sumber bahan-bahan hukum primer, sekunder dan tersier. Adapun pendekatan penelitian yang dipergunakan Pendekatan Perundang-Undangan, Pendekatan Konseptual, Pendekatan Analitis, Pendekatan Kasus dan teknik pengumpulan bahan hukum dilakukan dengan cara mengidentifikasi dan menginventarisasi aturan hukum positif, literatur buku, jurnal dan sumber bahan hukum lainnya. Untuk teknik analisa bahan hukum dilakukan dengan penafsiran gramatikal, penafsiran Sistematis, dan metode konstruksi hukum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa akibat hukum dari akta notaris yang direnvoi sepihak adalah hilangnya kekuatan pembuktian absolut akta tersebut, yang berubah menjadi akta di bawah tangan. Hal ini menyebabkan akta tersebut dapat disangkal oleh salah satu pihak, sehingga pemberi sewa berhak meminta pembatalan akta melalui pengadilan.Kepastian hukum terkait akta notaris yang direnvoi sepihak juga terancam, karena akta tersebut dapat dibatalkan demi hukum. Pemberi sewa yang dirugikan dapat menuntut pembatalan berdasarkan pelanggaran syarat formal dalam pembuatan akta notaris. Penelitian ini menyarankan perlunya revisi Pasal 48 dan Pasal 51 UUJN untuk menambahkan sanksi pidana dan administratif bagi Notaris yang melanggar ketentuan mengenai renvoi.

Authors: Sandıkçı Mesut
Published: December 2024

İlâhî bilginin mahiyeti, Meşşâî, İşrâkî ve Kelâmî gelenekler içinde üzerinde durulan önemli konulardan biridir. İbn Sînâ’nın (ö. 428/1037), ilâhî bilginin mahiyeti hakkındaki görüşleri, özellikle de Hakk’ın eşyaya dair bilgisinin küllî olduğu yönündeki ifadeleri, kendisinden sonra ciddi tartışmalara yol açmıştır. Bu tartışmaların genel çerçevesi, Hak Teâlâ’nın bilgisinin, eşya yaratılmadan önce ve yaratıldıktan sonra ne şekilde olduğu meselesidir. Yani Hakk’ın eşyaya dair bilgisi husûlî midir, yoksa huzûrî mi? Küllî midir, cüzî midir? Bu konuda, İbn Sînâ’nın açıklamalarına hem kelâmî hem de işrâkî gelenekler içerisinde çeşitli eleştiriler yöneltilmiş, muhakkik sûfîler de benzer eleştiriler getirmiştir. Ancak muhakkik sûfîler, her iki geleneğin açıklamalarını yetersiz bulmuş ve meseleyi vahdet-i vücûd anlayışı çerçevesinde çözüme kavuşturmayı amaçlamışlardır. Eleştirilerin merkezinde İbn Sînâ’nın görüşleri bulunduğu için, bu çalışmada öncelikle İbn Sînâ’nın ilâhî bilginin mahiyeti konusundaki görüşlerini kısaca açıklayacağız. Daha sonra sırasıyla Gazzâlî (ö. 505/1111), Fahreddin Râzî (ö. 606/1210), Maktûl Sühreverdî (ö. 587/1191) ve Nasîrüddîn Tûsî’nin (ö. 672/1274) İbn Sînâ’ya yönelik eleştirilerine yer vererek, bu düşünürlerin itirazlarının esasını tespit etmeye çalışacağız. Çalışmamızın asıl kısmını ise muhakkik sûfîlerin, Sadreddin Konevî (ö. 673/1274), Dâvûd Kayserî (ö. 751/1350) ve Sâinüddîn İbn Türke (ö. 836/1432) gibi isimlerden hareketle geliştirdikleri bakış açısını ortaya koymaya ayıracağız.

Published: December 2024

Background: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common causes of acute abdomen requiring emergency surgical intervention. Complicated appendicitis, such as gangrene or perforation, significantly increases morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis is crucial to improving outcomes, but no single diagnostic test is definitive. Hyperbilirubinemia has recently emerged as a potential biomarker for acute appendicitis, particularly in complicated cases. Evaluating its diagnostic accuracy can aid in the timely management of this condition, especially when integrated with clinical and laboratory assessments.
Objective: To study the association and diagnostic accuracy of hyperbilirubinemia in patients presenting with acute appendicitis.
Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Surgery, Combined Military Hospital Sialkot, from September 2023 to July 2024. A total of 163 patients aged 12-60 years with a clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis, who underwent appendectomy, were included. Pre-operative serum bilirubin levels were analyzed to determine their association with acute appendicitis. Post-operative histopathological examination served as the gold standard for diagnosis. Data on demographics, clinical presentation, and laboratory findings were collected and analyzed using descriptive and diagnostic statistics, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value.
Results: Of the 163 patients, 103 (63.2%) were male and 60 (36.8%) were female, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.7:1. The mean age was 27.47 ± 11.33 years. Hyperbilirubinemia was detected in 114 (69.1%) patients, of which 111 (97.4%) were true positives and 3 (2.6%) were false positives. Among patients with acute appendicitis, 78 (70.2%) had uncomplicated appendicitis, while 33 (29.85%) had complicated appendicitis (gangrene or perforation). Hyperbilirubinemia demonstrated a sensitivity of 78.17%, specificity of 85.71%, positive predictive value of 97.37%, negative predictive value of 36.73%, and diagnostic accuracy of 79.14%.
Conclusion: Hyperbilirubinemia showed a significant association with acute appendicitis, particularly in complicated cases. Its diagnostic accuracy suggests it can serve as a valuable pre-operative adjunctive marker, enhancing the timely diagnosis and management of acute appendicitis.

Analizar los efectos del chocho pulverizado endulzado con panela en batidos naturales permite identificar sus contribuciones significativas a la salud humana. El chocho, conocido también como tarwi o lupinus mutabilis, es una fuente rica en proteínas de alta calidad, comparable con otras fuentes vegetales y animales. Contiene aminoácidos esenciales, fibra dietética, y minerales como el hierro y el calcio, lo que favorece el fortalecimiento muscular y óseo, así como la mejora del tránsito intestinal. Además, su bajo contenido en grasas saturadas y su perfil nutricional lo convierten en un alimento adecuado para personas con dietas enfocadas en el control de peso y el mantenimiento de la salud cardiovascular. La panela, por otro lado, es un edulcorante natural obtenido de la caña de azúcar, sin los procesos de refinamiento que eliminan nutrientes. Contiene una amplia gama de minerales como el calcio, magnesio, hierro y fósforo, así como vitaminas del complejo B. A diferencia del azúcar refinado, la panela ofrece un índice glucémico más moderado, lo que ayuda a regular los niveles de glucosa en la sangre, siendo una opción más saludable para personas con riesgo de diabetes o que desean evitar picos de insulina. El consumo de batidos que combinan chocho y panela ha crecido en el contexto de la tendencia global hacia una alimentación más saludable y sostenible. Estos batidos no solo proporcionan energía y nutrientes clave, sino que también son una alternativa sostenible debido a la facilidad de cultivo del chocho en zonas andinas y la producción artesanal de la panela. Los hallazgos demuestran que, juntos, el chocho y la panela ofrecen una bebida altamente nutritiva que contribuye al bienestar general, potenciando la digestión, el control de peso, la salud cardiovascular y el sistema inmunológico.

Micro-Hydro Power-Harnessing the Potential Energy of Water for Small-Scale Electricity Generation
Authors: Rashi Sahay  , Swamy TN
Published: December 2024

This paper focuses on analysing and designing a micro-hydro turbine system to generate direct current (DC) electricity from low-head water sources. Recognising the need for sustainable energy solutions, the system utilises stored water in an overhead tank at 11.25 meters. The PE of the water is converted into KE as it flows through a nozzle, striking the blades of a Pelton wheel turbine. The rotating turbine drives a DC generator, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, subsequently stored in batteries for domestic use. The system's design includes key components such as a water storage tank, penstock, turbine, generator, and battery storage. Calculations indicate that the system can produce a maximum power output of approximately 0.047 kW under optimal conditions. The methodology emphasises the importance of head height and water discharge in determining energy output, with experiments demonstrating a strong correlation between these variables and generated power. Overall, this micro-hydro system presents an effective solution for reducing electricity bills while harnessing renewable energy, aligning with global efforts to promote sustainable practices.

Published: December 2024

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a major concern in the field of pharmacology, significantly impacting patient safety and healthcare costs. As drug interactions become more complex, traditional methods for predicting ADRs often fall short. However, the application of machine learning (ML) techniques presents a promising solution for improving the prediction and management of these reactions, offering valuable insights into their underlying mechanisms. By leveraging ML, healthcare professionals can better anticipate ADRs, leading to safer medication practices and enhanced patient care. This innovative approach not only helps in identifying potential risks associated with medications but also supports proactive measures to mitigate these risks, ultimately contributing to improved health outcomes for patients. This paper explores the role of ML in anticipating ADRs by analysing diverse datasets, including clinical records, drug properties, and patient demographics. We discuss various ML models, such as deep learning and ensemble methods, that have shown efficacy in identifying potential ADRs before they manifest clinically. By leveraging large volumes of health-related data, these models can improve the accuracy of predictions, facilitate timely interventions, and ultimately enhance patient safety. This research underscores the necessity for ongoing collaboration between data scientists and healthcare professionals to optimize the application of ML in real-world settings.

Published: December 2024

Face detection and recognition have become critical applications in various fields, including security, identity verification, and human-computer interaction. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of face detection techniques using Artificial Intelligence (AI), focusing on the integration of PCA and KNN algorithms. PCA is employed to reduce the dimensionality of face image datasets, effectively extracting important features while minimizing data loss. The KNN classifier is used for classification by identifying the closest matching face in a dataset. By applying these techniques to the LFW dataset, we achieved an overall accuracy of 88%, demonstrating the efficacy of this approach for face detection. The methodology involves training the system with face image data, utilizing PCA to project the images onto a lower-dimensional space, and applying KNN to classify the images based on their reduced feature set. The implementation was carried out using Python’s Scikit-learn library, highlighting the ease of combining well-established machine learning algorithms in a straightforward programming environment. Results show that using KNN with an optimal K value of 5, alongside PCA retaining 95% variance, provides a robust and efficient solution for face detection tasks. While this approach achieved significant success, further improvements could be made by integrating advanced classifiers such as CNNs or exploring neural networks for feature extraction. Additionally, real-time performance can be enhanced by optimizing the computational process or leveraging OpenCV for real-world applications.

Background: Vascular anomalies are disorders of the vascular system. These anomalies are classified as either vascular tumors or vascular malformations, with each possessing distinct characteristics. This study was performed to analyze vascular anomaly referrals to a tertiary center, identify patterns of misdiagnosis, and create a proforma to ensure the comprehensiveness of clinical information.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed vascular anomaly referral letters received by Hospital Tunku Azizah from 2018 to 2023. Specifically, we descriptively analyzed the inclusion of vascular anomaly characteristics, the demographic profiles of referrers and patients, and basic clinical findings. Subsequently, we developed a redesigned proforma.Results: Overall, 47 referral letters were analyzed. The patients comprised 25 boys and 22 girls, with ages ranging from birth to 14 years. Patient name, sex, and date of birth, along with the referrer’s name and address, were satisfactorily documented. The review revealed that 44 (93.6%) of the letters included the patient’s presenting problem, 43 (91.5%) contained clinical findings, 37 (78.7%) reported diagnostic investigations, and 29 (61%) referenced medical history. Regarding characteristics of vascular conditions, over half of the letters detailed time of appearance (n= 40, 85%), growth (n= 24, 66%), complications (n= 25, 53.2%), color (n= 32, 68%), and shape (n= 34, 72%). However, fewer than half mentioned compressibility (n= 7, 14.8%), pulsation (n= 7, 14.7%), and associated conditions (n= 2, 4.3%), and none referenced involution.Conclusion: Although demographic data were generally well-documented, critical medical history information was frequently omitted, including a lack of adequate pre-referral investigations. Key characteristics of vascular anomalies, namely compressibility, pulsation, associated conditions, and involution, were frequently overlooked. Accurate documentation of these features is crucial for determining treatment urgency. A standardized proforma must be implemented to ensure that vital information is captured, thus facilitating diagnosis and optimizing patient care.

Published: December 2024

Background: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the current shortage of speech-language pathologists in Thailand have limited access to speech services for children with cleft palate with or without cleft lip (CP± L). A combination of telepractice (TP) and face-to-face therapy could address the lack of continuous service and improve accessibility to speech therapy providers. This study aimed to compare the percentage of consonants correct (PCC) before and after speech therapy in children with CP± L.Methods: This study included 19 children with CP± L, aged 5 to 13 years, who underwent primary cheiloplasty and palatoplasty. A perceptual assessment was conducted using the Thai Speech Parameters for Patients with Cleft Palate in a Universal Reporting System to evaluate speech before and after therapy. The intervention consisted of five 30-minute face-to-face speech therapy sessions and fifteen 30-minute TP sessions, totaling twenty sessions. Paired t-tests were used to analyze the mean differences in PCC for pre- and post-articulation errors, as well as caregiver satisfaction levels at the conclusion of the evaluation period.Results: Children with CP± L exhibited a significant increase in PCC; the mean difference (standard deviation, SD) was 9.36 (11.87), with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 3.64 to 15.08 at the word level, and a mean difference (SD) of 13.25 (13.71), with a 95% CI of 6.65 to 19.86 at the sentence level. Caregivers rated their satisfaction as excellent.Conclusion: The integration of TP with traditional face-to-face speech therapy has proven to be a highly effective approach for reducing articulation errors in children with CP± L. Additionally, this method was well-suited for the constraints imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This comprehensive investigation delves into the mechanical characteristics of E-glass reinforcement at varying linear densities in two-dimensional (2D) woven fabric-reinforced composites employing both thermoplastic and thermoset matrices. By scrutinizing tensile strength, flexural strength, edge-wise impact resistance and out-of-plane impact properties, the study optimizes composite materials and sheds light on the influence of linear density on the mechanical properties of thermoset and thermoplastic composites. Key insights underscore the superior in-plane load-bearing capacity of thermoset composites under quasi-static conditions, contrasting with the exceptional edge-wise and out-of-plane impact resistance exhibited by thermoplastic composites. Furthermore, the study reveals that thermoset composites outperform their thermoplastic counterparts in tensile and flexural properties, with discernible deviations in quasi-static mechanical properties with increasing linear density. In both thermoplastic and thermoset composites, specimens that had lower linear density reinforcement demonstrated enhanced mechanical performance under quasi-static circumstances. Nevertheless, when subjected to dynamic conditions, thermoplastic composites exhibited this pattern, whereas thermoset composites demonstrated divergent characteristics. In the context of low-velocity impact events, it was shown that Thermoplastic 600 Tex Glass Fabric Reinforced Composite (TP6G2DFRC) exhibited greater performance compared to all other specimens, even those with higher linear density. Conversely, in thermoset composites, Thermoplastic 1200 Tex Glass Fabric Reinforced Composite (TS12G2DFRC) demonstrated notable superiority over Thermoplastic 600 Tex Glass Fabric Reinforced Composite (TS6G2DFRC), despite possessing a higher linear density

To enhance ballistic protection, this paper explores the benefits of granular materials compared to traditional materials used in this field. Currently, ballistic protection employs various materials either individually or in combination, such as armored steels, ceramic layers, composite materials, and granular structures. This study investigates the interaction of projectiles with each type of material, as well as the effects of combining different material layers. Granular materials consist of macroscopic particles, each with its own degrees of freedom. Collisions between these particles transfer energy from the solid body to individual particles, leading to energy dissipation that can halt the motion of particles within the granular material. The primary objective of this research is to analyze the results of projectile impacts on various material obstacles using a mathematical model for image processing.
