Published: December 2023

Background
Increasingly exposed to emerging sanitary risks, extensive livestock farming systems are confronted with the imperative of incorporating biosecurity measures in their production models in order to limit the risk of introduction and diffusion of animal pathogens. Yet, ex-ante assessment methods of the likelihood of effective implementation of biosecurity actions are poorly documented. Our study aimed at comparing alternative methods of elicitation of preferences to assess the attitude of extensive livestock farmers towards on-farm biosecurity measures. Our case study was the Regional Porcine Sanitary Plan elaborated to enable the free-range pig sector of Corsica Island to meet the newly established disease prevention requirements in the face of risk of African Swine Fever introduction. The plan imposed (1) a fencing of the breeding pigs’ area, (2) the neutering of the pigs not used for breeding, and (3) a management process of dead pigs’ carcasses found on pastures.
Results
We evaluated four attributes of the sanitary plan, including (1) proportion of the implementation cost covered by subsidies, (2) mandatory carcass management, (3) people allowed to neuter gilts, (4) the age limit for neutering. We performed interviews of a sample of free-range pig farmers using three methods in parallel, namely (1) direct qualitative elicitation, (2) attributed-based stated choices and (3) semi-quantitative ranking of attributes. Farmers’ preference for a high subsidization of the sanitary plan and for enforcing the neutering of pigs at an early age was consistent across all used methods. Participants expressed heterogeneous preferences for the two other attributes. Half of the respondents did not entrust veterinarians with neutering gilts while the other half deemed veterinarians’ intervention compulsory. Contradictory preferences on the mandatory carcass management were obtained depending on the elicitation method.
Conclusion
Our study shows the added value of using choice-based methods, where respondents weigh the individual costs and benefits associated with different options, in combination with qualitative or semi-quantitative ranking methods in which farmers express their opinions and give more consideration to their community interest. It also reveals potential issues of heterogeneities among farmers’ preferences that need to be incorporated in similar surveys.
Foreground-aware Transformer Network for Person Re-identification
Authors: Zhang Guifang , Tan Shijun , Fang Yuming
Published: December 2023

Transformer-based person re-identification (person ReID) technologies tend to capture global information, but only focus on global features and ignore the interference of irrelevant information. To the best of our knowledge, most foreground information corresponds to pedestrian(in the person ReID datasets), enhancing foreground information or weakening background information helps to distinguish the person from the background. From this insight, we proposed a foreground-aware transformer network to achieve the task of person ReID. To make the most of foreground information for person identification, we isolate the foreground by minimizing the impact of background interference and introduce a foreground-aware loss function. This loss function directs the attention of networks toward the primary foreground information in the image, optimizing its ability to identify pedestrian. To prove the effectiveness of our proposed foreground-aware transformer network, we conducted experiments on Market1501 and MSMT17 datasets. Our experimental results indicate that the proposed method can yield substantial improvements in person ReID accuracy, demonstrating the practical value of our foreground-aware transformer network in addressing real-world person ReID challenges.

Published: December 2023

Dermatologic diseases have a well-documented association with depression and anxiety, which are in turn often comorbid with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Nonethleess, the relationship between dermatologic disease and AUD, and the relative contribution of depression and anxiety, are poorly understood. Here, we utilize the National Insittutes of Health All of Us Research Program to investigate the association between inflammatory and pigmentary dermatologic diseases with AUD. Furthermore, we investigate whether comorbid depression and anxiety mediates this relationship. We employed a matched case-control model with multivariable logistic regression. We also employed a mediation analysis. We found an increased odds of AUD among patients with atopic dermatitis, acne/rosacea, hidradenitis suppurativa, psoriasis, and pigmentary disorders (vitiligo, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). This was partially mediated by anxiety and depression, especially for diseases with a significant cosmetic component. Overall, these findings highlight the profound psychological and physical health effects that inflammatory and pigmentary disease can have on patients, both independently and in combination with comorbid psychiatric disease.
A Simple TD-BEM Model for Heterogeneous Orthotropic Hill-Shaped Topographies
Authors: Mojtabazadeh-Hasanlouei Saeed , Panji Mehdi , Kamalian Mohsen
Published: December 2023

A simple numerical model named DASBEM was successfully developed to analyze the seismic heterogeneous orthotropic hill-shaped topographies by a time-domain boundary element method (TD-BEM) based on half-space Green’s functions. The model was elaborated only by discretizing the hill surface and its interface with the underlying half-space in the use of image source theorem and substructure approach. To improve the model at the corners, the double node procedure was applied to extreme nodes of the used quadratic elements. An attenuation ratio is implemented in the boundary equations using a decremental exponential function. After presenting the technique, a validation example presented beside the literature to measure the convergence with an isotropic response. Then, a sample Gaussian–shaped hill model is prepared under propagating obliquely incident SH-waves as common sample topography and the surface response is obtained by considering some significant parameters as well as the shape ratio, isotropy factor, frequency content, and angle of the incident wave. The ground surface response is sensitized in two time and frequency domains. The results showed that the amplitude of the response was not only dependent on the impedance ratio, but also the isotropy ratio was always effective in orienting the wavefront to amplify the ground movement.
The Development of Priority Decision Model for Old Urban Community Renovation in China
Authors: Wang Wei , Yang Huawei , Jing Shuwei
Published: December 2023

Old urban community renovation is an important task of urban renewal in China. In order to ensure the quality and efficiency of renovation work, the government requires a method to assess the priority for old urban community renovation. This paper proposes an evaluation model from a more comprehensive perspective. It establishes the evaluation index system with CIPP model. The method of Cloud-VIKOR is selected to construct the evaluation model. Finally, selects nine case communities to verify the evaluation model. The results show that the evaluation index system covers the whole process of renovation project and the evaluation indexes proposed in the existing research. The priority decision result of 9 case communities is basically consistent with the actual renovation sequence and does not change greatly due to the fluctuation of decision-making mechanism coefficient or the evaluation index weight. This evaluation model can help decision-makers diagnose and optimize the renovation project.

Published: December 2023

Online social media is integral to human life, facilitating messaging, information sharing, and confidential communication while preserving privacy. Platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook exemplify this phenomenon. However, users face challenges due to network anomalies, often stemming from malicious activities such as identity theft for financial gain or harm. This paper proposes a novel method using user similarity measures and the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) algorithm to identify fake user accounts in the Twitter dataset. Despite the problem's complexity, the method achieves an AUC rate of 80% in classifying and detecting fake accounts. Notably, the study builds on previous research, highlighting advancements and insights into the evolving landscape of anomaly detection in online social networks.

Published: December 2023

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease occurring in the central nervous system (CNS). Literature suggests that acupuncture may play a role in the treatment of MS, although its mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we observed that acupuncture significantly alleviates central lesions and delays the progression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE, an animal model of MS). Conducting a proteomics analysis of murine brain, we found that acupuncture notably suppresses the expression of certain proteins associated with astrocyte functions, including their activation, antigen processing and presentation, as well as myelination. Additionally, we observed a significant increase in POMC expression in the acupuncture group. POMC is the precursor of β-endorphin, which can influences the activation and antigen presentation function of astrocytes. Therefore, our study indicates that acupuncture, by modulating the expression of POMC, influences the activation and antigen presentation function of astrocytes, thereby alleviating inflammation in the CNS. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the immunomodulatory mechanisms through which acupuncture acts on MS.
Hacia una racionalidad históricamente acotada: la crítica de Herbert A. Simon a la noción neoclásica de “agente racional”
Authors: Hernández Cervantes Josafat I.
Published: December 2023

En el artículo se expone la crítica de Herbert A. Simon a los dos supuestos básicos de la noción neoclásica de “agente”: la racionalidad perfecta y el interés propio. Se muestra cómo Simon criticó ambos supuestos al reconocer que las capacidades cognitivas de los agentes son limitadas, mostrando que existen problemas específicos que no tienen soluciones óptimas y que hay otras motivaciones irreducibles al interés propio, como la lealtad y la identificación grupal, que son fundamentales para entender el comportamiento de las organizaciones. Se muestra cómo Simon apuntó hacia una noción de “racionalidad” históricamente acotada por la interacción del agente con su entorno, lo cual presenta una visión compleja y dinámica del comportamiento humano. Sin embargo, el artículo también muestra las dificultades que tuvo Simon para lograr la realización plena de este proyecto al asumir un supuesto de cognición individualista que le impidió dar un papel más sustantivo al entorno en la estructuración del comportamiento de los agentes. Se termina mostrando cómo la noción de “hábito” puede dar un papel más sustantivo al entorno para desarrollar así una concepción históricamente acotada de la racionalidad.
Heidegger y Descartes: el inicio y el retroceso
Authors: Arbaizar Gil Benito
Published: December 2023

Este artículo interpreta tres sueños decisivos que sacudieron a Descartes tomando como punto de partida lo que Heidegger denominó otro inicio de la filosofía en el espanto (das Erschrecken). Por un lado, se mostrará cómo las pesadillas que experimentó Descartes abrían la posibilidad de un pensar inicial. Por otro lado, se detallará cómo Descartes retrocede ante esa posibilidad. Vinculando la dimensión oculta del ser a lo demoniaco, Descartes buscó refugio en un pensamiento calculador fundamentado en un Dios veraz que garantiza la disponibilidad del ser. El análisis de los sueños aquí propuesto busca llamar la atención sobre un trasfondo que ayude a comprender de qué busca refugio Descartes cuando construye el edificio de la ciencia y qué vías quedan abiertas en el subsuelo de su pensamiento.
A Comparative Study of Domestic Violence in BRICS Nations – Pre and Post COVID-19
Authors: Singh M. , Mathew M.
Published: December 2023

The most common kind of sexual or physical abuse suffered by women is that by a partner. Human rights are violated when males or boys use violence against women or girls. When it comes to domestic abuse, it is estimated that one in three women will experience some kind of gender-based violence at some point in their lives. The number of women who have been abused by a romantic partner or a non-relationship sexual partner is estimated to reach 736 million. For years, the world’s leaders have recognised its seriousness. In 1995, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action said that violence against women must be eliminated. Within the “UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” a worldwide goal to abolish “all kinds of violence against women and girls in public and private spaces” was added. Global action was called for in 2016 by the “World Health Assembly’s” Resolution 69.5, which urged a national multisector approach to combating violence against women and young girls. In spite of all of these responsibilities, 49 countries still don’t have a clear policy on domestic abuse. Lower and lower-middle-income women nations are particularly vulnerable to this violence, which has long-term effects on their health and well-being. In the world’s poorest nations, women aged 15 to 49 have a lifetime frequency of domestic abuse of 37 percent. One in every four women who have ever been in a relationship has been a victim of domestic abuse at some point in their lives.

Aluminum Oxide Nanoparticles from Aluminum Door and Window Factory Wastes for the Removal of Methyl Green Dye from Wastewater: A
Comparative Study
Authors: Ibrahim Wrea Mohammed , Saeed Ibrahim Qadr , Muhammad Hunar Yasin , Jabbar Hijran Sanaan
Published: December 2023

Background:

It has become increasingly important to use non-toxic nanomaterials for
treating industrial wastewater that contains organic dyes, such as methyl green.

Method:

A sol-gel method was used to synthesize aluminum oxide nanoparticles from waste aluminum
and investigate the physicochemical process involved in their removal from methyl green.

Result:

The synthesized adsorbent was characterized using EDX, UV-visible, SEM, FTIR, XRD,
and HRTEM techniques. The effects of various parameters, such as the initial concentration, the
contact time, and the mass of the adsorbent, were studied for the removal of methyl green in the sunlight,
dark, sonication and under UV radiation. It was suspected that Al2O3 nanoparticles and methyl
green dye interacted electrostatically in water to cause degradation. The degradation rates of 15 mg/L
methyl green were 94.13% and 82.33% after 15 min using ultrasound and UV light. While 70% and
3.33% of the dye degraded after 20 min under sunlight and in the dark.

Conclusion:

These readily made nanoparticles may well prove useful in wastewater treatment.
MXenes for Nanophotonics
Authors: Urossha S.
Published: December 2023

Considerable attention has been paid to Mxenes which is a novel group of two-dimensional materials. Exceptional 2D layered microstructures make this family quite attractive for potential applications in a number of photoelectric applications along with their nonlinear optical and short electronic transport characteristics. This 2D group of materials comprises of transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides having formula Mn+1Xn (where M = Sc, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, etc., and X = C and/or N). Owing to some unmatched features of Mxenes like hydrophilic surfaces and high conductivities (~6000–8000 S/cm), these can be implemented in potential applications such as catalysis, energy storage, and field effect transistors etc.

A moral lesson from two different memorials
Authors: Krawiec Adrianna
Published: December 2023

The aim of the article is to present Polish and American policies of remembrance in the context of Nazi crimes, including the Holocaust, which is the biggest of them. It is in these countries that the two largest museums in the world, next to the Israeli Yad Vashem, were formed as a result of the policies of remembrance: The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The history of their formation is as varied as the objects being different. However, The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum known as Auschwitz, and The US Holocaust Memorial Museum as historical museums have an educational function, and individuals learn from them what it means to belong to a group, nation, and civilization. This holds many lessons that can be regarded as moral ones.

The implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) is the gold standard in today's cataract surgery. Calculating the power of the intraocular lens (IOL) has emerged as a central concern in cataract surgery over the last decade. The study aims to investigate the relationship between optical biometry and applanation ultrasound measurement of the eye's axial length. This prospective cohort study was done on 60 eyes from sixty patients undergoing phacoemulsification with primary intraocular lens implantation and scheduled for cataract surgery in the Ophthalmology Department of al-Imam al-Sadeq Hospital. Thirty eyes of patients were measured by ultrasound measurement (by A-Scan, Group 1) and the other thirty eyes by optical biometry (by IOL Master, Group 2). In Group 1There were 14 eyes of 14 males (47%) and 16 eyes of 16 females (53%) with a mean age was 71.6 ±4.33years. In Group 2, there were 16 eyes of 16 males (53%) and 14 eyes of fourteen females (47%), and the mean age of the patients in this Group was 66.13±8.61 years. The mean IOL of the patient in Group I was (19.96±1.81). At the same time, the mean IOL potent ion of the patient in Group II was (22.96±1.66).

Background. The importance of issue is the rising incidence of allergies to volatile organic compounds, particularly in children and adults. This necessitates understanding the causes, risk factors, and methods for prevention and treatment. The purpose of the study was to clarify the relationship between the development of allergy to lipid transfer proteins (LTP) and various environmental influences, nutrition and the immune state of the body. Materials and methods. To achieve goal, the following research methods were used: content analysis of the database of medical organizations, the method of a representative sample and quantitative examination. In the practical part of the study, we used the Immuno Solid-phase Allergen Chip test. Results. The study results demonstrated adverse reactions in both children and adults with LTP allergies. Peach (Prunus persica) was identified as an allergenic product. It was found that childhood is a particularly sensitive period for the development of allergic reactions to LTP due to incomplete immune development. Additionally, the peculiarities of food allergy were investigated, taking into account its connection with antibodies and cause-and-effect relationships. Conclusions. Sensitization to lipid transfer proteins occurs in various groups, including children and adults, and depends on the sources of exposure.

Han sido variadas las formas de entender el ordenamiento territorial. La visión dominante define al proceso de ordenar el territorio como instrumento de política pública a cargo de los Estados y centrado en aspectos físicos. Sin embargo, desde el entendimiento del territorio como una construcción social formada por múltiples relaciones, actores y escalas, la visión dominante se queda restringida a la inclusión de actores, principalmente gubernamentales en el proceso de ordenar el territorio. En el curso de Enfoque Sociocultural del ordenamiento territorial del Posgrado en Geografía impartido en el Centro de Investigaciones en Geografía Ambiental (ciga) de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, basados en ese entendimiento del territorio, hemos discutido una visión más integral del ordenamiento territorial, que lleva a cuestionarnos ¿quiénes son los actores involucrados en él? Este artículo fue guiado por esas discusiones, y pretende comprender los territorios para identificar las relaciones que los configuran y los actores involucrados. Los ejes revisados se conformaron en tres áreas de estudio, dos en México y una en Colombia. Mostrar los actores involucrados en el proceso de ordenar procura construir una visión que supere el enfoque sectorial y parcial, para dar paso a procesos más integrales que abarquen la complejidad de actores y relaciones que forman los territorios.
IFRS y earnings management en la información financiera de las pymes colombianas
Authors: Rico Bonilla Carlos Orlando
Published: December 2023

El objetivo de esta investigación es examinar el efecto de la convergencia hacía los IFRS en la calidad de la información financiera de las pymes colombianas a partir de la validación empírica de los earnings management (EM), es decir, las alteraciones discrecionales de las cifras contables. La ocurrencia de este fenómeno se estima a partir de dos modelaciones de la teoría contable positiva: los accrual earnings management (AEM) y los real earnings management (REM) en una muestra de 3140 empresas. Además, con los outputs obtenidos se procesan paneles de datos con efectos fijos para analizar como estas prácticas varían entre el periodo previo (2011-2015) y el de aplicación obligatoria de los estándares internacionales (2016-2020). También como se explican por factores específicos de las compañías como el tamaño, el endeudamiento, la liquidez, entre otros. Los resultados muestran que la magnitud de los EM es ligeramente significativa entre 2011 y 2020, lo que sugiere alteraciones discrecionales de las cifras contables marginales en la muestra. Asimismo, se observa que los gastos por impuestos es la variable que más incentiva su generación, mientras la aplicación de los IFRS ha tenido poco efecto en reducir estas prácticas, si bien los AEM mostraron una disminución relevante entre los intervalos estudiados.

Abstract: All over the globe, billions of people use vehicles in their day to day life. It includes public and private transport as well. Vehicles running on fossil fuels emit large amount of carbon and volatile organic compounds. These compounds are hazardous for the environment as well as for the human beings. These emissions contributes greatly in increasing pollution and global warming. This pollution leads to many respiratory health diseases. The Air Carbon filter helps to reduce the release of these hazardous elements and carbon in the environment. These carbon filters work on the principle of adsorption using activated carbon. It also adsorbs odour and foul smell to emit clean and fresh air.

Abstract: Optimizing treatment effectiveness and reducing the risk of medication toxicity for each patient is the aim of customized medicine. It demonstrates the proper substance and dose, the appropriate patient, and the timely delivery of treatment. Molecular diagnosis and customized medication regimens based on each patient's unique genetic composition are the main goals of personalized medicine. This study's primary goal is to assess personalized medicine's uses, advantages, drawbacks, and consequences for healthcare. Prospective viewpoints and real-world clinical implementations. Personalized medicine promises to diagnose, stop, and treat disease. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is the study of how genetic variation in an individual's reaction to medication occurs. It is the newest branch of medicine and is rapidly developing as a field of study. The pharmaceutical business is learning how to apply it, include it into the process of developing new drugs, and better handle the expectations of the medical community. Pharmacogenomics can provide more effective and less adverse effect treatments by customizing medications to a patient's genetic composition. Big pharma corporations have not embraced individualized medicine despite these advantages

Abstract: Human detection and recognisation field is very significant and has undergone rapid changes with time. An important and very reliable human identification method is fingerprint identification. Fingerprint of every person. is unique. So this helps in identifying a person or in improving security of a system. Finger print of a person is read by a special type of sensor. Finger print sensor can be interfaced with a microcontroller. Through keypad we can add new user and delete the existing user, also identify the user by selecting corresponding option through keypad. In this project we use a fingerprint sensor to read ones identity to automatically operate the door of the car. For this, we use a microcontroller to enable the door opening or closing if the matching between scanned data and the already existing data is correct. Comparison is done inside the fingerprint module itself and its output is given to microcontroller. Result is displayed in a LCD display whether the user is authorized or not.LCD also helps to make troubleshooting easier. Alarming option is provided to warn about an unauthorized usage.

Partisipasi masyarakat dalam public governance menjadi isu utama dalam tatanan pengelolaan kepemerintahan di Indonesia. Public governance diartikan sebagai konsep yang mempresentasikan kemampuan pemerintah membantu warga masyarakat secara inklusif, non-diskriminasi, dan memberikan kepuasan individual serta kemakmuran bagi rakyat. Masyarakat dianggap sebagai kekuatan utama dalam memacu kualitas pelayanan dan penerapan e-government. Di Indonesia public governance yang baik sudah mendapat fokus perhatian sejak tahun 1999. Namun partisipasi masyarakat dalam public governance sering diabaikan oleh pemerintah, sehingga hanya dianggap sebagai formalitas belaka, yang mana hal ini dapat menimbulkan ketegangan dan ketidakharmonisan tata kelola publik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis urgensi partisipasi masyarakat dalam public governance di Indonesia. Jenis penelitian ini adalah metode SLR (Systematic Literatur Review) dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Sumber data diperoleh dari jurnal-jurnal terkait melalui literatur review. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa partisipasi masyarakat dalam public governance di Indonesia dikatakan urgent karena dapat menghasilkan keputusan ataupun kebijakan yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan masyarakat, mewujudkan keberhasilan pembangunan di Indonesia, efektif meningkatkan transparansi, akuntabilitas, dan kepatuhan terhadap hukum serta dapat mewujudkan kedaulatan rakyat yang ideal.

Authors: Widowati I Gusti Ayu Rai , Zamroni Mohammad
Published: December 2023

Pharmaceutical Care (PC) is a kind of interactive comprehensive service offered by the pharmacist to the patient, in which the pharmacist's physical presence is expected when providing pharmaceutical services to the patients at the pharmacy. However, pharmacists still prioritized internal management over interacting directly with patients. The objective of this research is to glance at the legal challenges of PC implementation in Indonesian community pharmacies. The normative juridical research method has been used, with a conceptual and legal approach. PC implementation in community pharmacies experiences major-level, mid-level, and minor-level challenges. PC standards in pharmacies are legally stated in Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No. 73 of 2016, but there are still conflicts between pharmaceutical management and PC implementation. In the incident of a medication error, the pharmacist as the person responsible for PC in the pharmacy, is legally responsible. Pharmacists who do not meet PC standards in community pharmacies encounter administrative, civil, and criminal consequences.

The information on land cover changes is very important in regional spatial planning. Remote sensing technology can minimize the cost and time in analyzing land cover changes. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a vegetation index that combines red and near-infrared channels so that it can provide approximate information about land cover in an area. The objective of this study is to extract land cover change information from Landsat 8 images based on NDVI values in Bangli Regency in 2015 and 2021. The classification method used to estimate the type of land cover is supervised classification. The results reveal the decrease of the land cover in the category of water body, sand, dry land/soil, rice fields, and vegetation, which are 1.62%, 14.14%, 7.93%, 8.63%, and 2.45%, respectively, while an increase in the settlement category by 30.12%. The overall accuracy of land cover classification result based on NDVI value is 86.54%.
