Authors: Khalil Hussein* Ibrahim , Arebe Fadam Entsar
Published: April 2024

Many Research and clinical studies have addressed the occurrence of failure (death). As a result of other (external) factors, which may introduce additional risks that compete with the event under study. The resulting data refers to the complete data on Competing risks, which are affected by time differences. The exact times of occurrence of these risks are known, meaning the times of failure are observed for all observations with certainty. The impact of these risks on the hazard function is estimated based on the Cox proportional hazards model, which is estimated using the partial maximum likelihood method and numerical algorithms for parameter estimation. This includes the effect of variables on the Cox hazard function and the nonparametric part, estimated by assessing the effect of time on the hazard function using the Kaplan-Meier formula and calculating competing risks through the cumulative hazard function.
These methods were applied to experimental data through large-scale simulations of different sizes and parameters and for several arithmetic means and standard deviations models. Moreover, applied to real data from a sample of 80 individuals with breast cancer. Analyzing the simulation results and real data revealed that the Downhill algorithm outperforms the Newton-Raphson algorithm in terms of estimation accuracy and efficiency, based on the statistical criterion for comparison, the root mean square error. In addition, competitive risks explained the effect of common variables in increasing competitive risks beyond the hazard function of the Cox model of the Newton-Raphson estimator. While it is converging to the hazard function of the Cox model for the Downhill estimator .

Published: April 2024

The Iraqi economy contends with structural production imbalances attributable to challenges afflicting the industrial sector, thereby engendering a monolithic economic landscape bereft of diversification to address these concerns and realize developmental imperatives, it becomes imperative to formulate strategies and policies conducive to stimulating, supporting, and safeguarding the industrial sector. Thereby ameliorating the economic landscape and rectifying distortions in the production structure within this framework, taxes emerge as a pivotal instrumentality for fostering industrial sector growth, employing the tax burden index and the industrial sector's contribution ratio to the gross domestic product, the researcher endeavors to elucidate the nuanced relationship between taxes and industrial sector growth in Iraq. The study's primary objective is to comprehensively analyse the tax contribution ratio and the industrial sector in Iraq, discerning the intricate interplay between taxes and industrial growth to enhance its contribution to the gross domestic product and facilitate economic diversification. The findings underscore a nuanced equilibrium, spotlighting the instrumental role of taxes in directly or indirectly catalyzing industrial sector growth through a repertoire of strategic tools, including tax incentive policies and the exemption of imported capital goods, such as machinery, equipment, and apparatus, from customs duties. This strategic approach aims to buttress producers by alleviating the fiscal burden, reducing operational costs, augmenting profitability, fostering the adoption of cutting-edge technology, and refining methodologies intrinsic to the production process.

The Effect of the Exchange Rate on Price Stability in Iraq from 2004-2022
Authors: Abdulkareem Miho* Aras
Published: April 2024

This Paper examines how the exchange rate influences price stability in Iraq using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method. Monthly data covering the period from January 2004 to April 2022 are employed, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) used as the dependent variable and Exchange Rate (EX), Oil Prices (OILR), Money Supply (M2), Policy Interest Rates (IR), and Government Spending (GOSP) as independent variables. The ARDL bound test results confirm a long-run relationship between the exchange rate and price stability in Iraq; the results indicate that a more robust exchange rate is associated with higher price stability, emphasizing potential benefits from currency strength. The positive link between government spending and price stability suggests the stabilizing impact of fiscal policies. In contrast, the negative association between interest rates and price stability corresponds to expectations of reduced economic activity. Findings on money supply support the quantity theory of money, and the negative relationship between oil revenue and price stability highlights challenges associated with economic reliance on oil. The Paper offers valuable insights for policymakers, emphasizing the importance of exchange rate stability, economic diversification, and precise adjustments in monetary and fiscal policies to ensure sustained price stability in Iraq.

A közszolgáltató és vagyonkezelő szervezetek teljesítménymérésének kérdései
Authors: Vörös Péter
Published: April 2024

A közszolgáltatás fogalma az elmúlt két évszázadban folyamatosan és egyre dinamikusabban változott. Napjaink szakmai és tudományos közélete megegyezik abban, hogy „olyan feladatok ellátásának biztosításáról van szó, amelyek az adott feltételek között közösségi szervezést igényelnek és társadalmi közös szükségletek kielégítését szolgálják” (Bordás Péter: Közszolgáltatások). Tehát a közszolgáltatásnak a társadalmi, közösségi és egyéni szükségletek kielégítésére kell törekednie. A modern önkormányzatok feladataik végrehajtását saját tulajdonú vállalkozások révén, vagy külső vállalkozások bevonásával oldják meg. Ezek a saját tulajdonú közszolgáltató társaságok lehetnek közhasznú nonprofit szervezetek, Zártkörű Részvénytársaságok (Zrt-k) és Korlátolt felelőségű társaságok (Kft-k). A szolgáltatásokat ellátó szervezeteknek fel kell ismerniük, hogy ha a helyi lakosság minél több és minél jobb minőségű közszolgáltatást tud lokálisan igénybe venni, annál inkább érzi az önkormányzat gondoskodását.

Published: April 2024

The seeds of auyama are oleaginous by-products of this vegetable. Its oil has physicochemical properties similar to those of oils traditionally used in the food industry and that provide benefits to the health of those who consume them. The methods of extracting oil from seeds of physical auyama (extrusion) and solvent extraction were evaluated; the extraction yield was determined. The auyama seeds were washed dried and threshed to obtain the oil-rich endosperm. For the chemical extraction an experiment was designed where the factors of variation were the time of oil extraction (150 and 180 min) and the type of solvent used (ethanol or petroleum ether). The oil obtained by the method with the highest yield was characterized physicochemically (density, pour point, humidity, fatty acid profile, acidity, peroxide index and iodine value). The yield of oil extraction by solvents was between 22 and 28 % while the mechanical extraction had a yield of 16.1 ± 0.01 %. The oil of seeds of auyama presented a density of 0.91 g/mL, pour point at 3.81 °C, and a moisture content of 3 %. The values of acidity, iodine index and peroxide index were 1.04, 78.04 and 12.7, respectively. The fatty acid profile showed that the oil of seeds of auyama presents higher content of oleic and linoleic acid (22.19 ± 0.1 % and 46.92 ± 0.7 %, respectively), which are unsaturated fatty acids. Finally, the obtained results show that the oil of seeds of auyama can be used potentially for the production of foods, as a source of unsaturated fatty acids and as a functional ingredient to take advantage of the benefits that bring this type of fatty acids to the health of the person consume.
Geo-statistics applied for the realization of ordinary digital images
Authors: Rebolledo R.
Published: April 2024

This study consisted of applying various geo-statistical techniques in the enhancement of digital images, based on the fact that the matrix structure of these images allows their interpretation in geospatial terms and their geo-statistical manipulation for enhancement purposes. The experimental approach took a basic digital image that was submitted to different editions, to conform the dataset that would allow its adaptation to the geo-statistical analysis. Then various geo-statistical interpolation techniques were used and results were obtained from each of them. For the evaluation of the quality of the results, a comparative analysis was developed oriented from two independent perspectives (evaluation of absolute errors and cross validation), as a basis for the evaluation and systematization of the selection process of the best estimator. The result of this analysis was that interpolation based on localized polynomial function was the best estimator to define the spatial variation rate that characterizes the peculiarities of the study image. It is understood that there is the possibility that different images are more related to other spatial interpolation techniques, and this is where the systematization of the quality evaluation process demonstrates its value. After the study, the feasibility of developing a comparative and systematic analysis of different spatial interpolation options with a view to relating the visual quality of a digital image was verified. The resulting product proved to be more detailed than the original image, in the same way, since the spatial variation rate of said product is parameterized, the possibilities of re-escalation have no limits and this constitutes an additional value of the study.

Published: April 2024

To comply with Nonruminant Nutrition and Feeding subject an experiment was conducted in “Ecoparque Pinares de Tenjo”, property of Fundación Universitaria Agraria de Colombia - uniagraria to evaluate the effects of two levels (0 and 0.5%) of granular commercial yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) Levapan® on productive parameters in broiler chickens during an experimental period (1-13 days of age). One hundred day-old commercial Ross male broiler chicks were divided to 4 groups of 25 chicks each. Then 2 groups were allocated to one of the 2 experimental diets, randomly. Data were collected for body weight, weight gain, feed intake, feed efficiency and mortality ratio during the experimental period. Results showed that the use of commercial yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in diets of day-old Ross broilers to 13 d old had no significant effect on the performance of male broiler chickens (p > 0.1), but that level of yeast had positive influence on mortality. However, treatment containing 0.5% of commercial yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in comparison to the control group had the loweest feed intake (p < 0.001) during each experimental period and there was a tendency to improve feed conversion ratio from 11 to 13 d old in favor of treatment with yeast. The results suggested that yeast had no significant effect on weight gain, but did have an effect on feed intake, consequently we could include that level in broiler chicks diet safely, saving in their food.

A literature review about the rubber tree Ficus Tequendamae was made finding too much ambiguous information in the most widespread documents. The fieldwork was carried out in downtown Bogotá, Colombia and it evidenced that Ficus Tequendamae has been planted in inappropriate areas causing severe and expensive damages in many public spaces of the city. It is recommended not to promote Ficus Tequendamae as an apt specie to be planted in urban areas because a great number of architects, based on the sources published by botanists, plant this specie of rubber tree and then they have to be witness to the damages caused to their own projects and the urban structures. Expensive damages might be averted demanding that people in charge of urban tree planting work with scientific rigor.

The aim of this article is to present an evaluation study of a bio-input made of fique extract (Furcraea spp.) in order to take control of the development and the spreading of rust (Hemileia vastatrix); a disease that directly attacks to the plant development of Caturra coffee variety decreasing the productivity and the quality of the grain. First, the leaves of fique, black common variety, are picked up in the municipality of Nariño; then, the juice of the leaves is extracted through a roller mill and it is stored in sterile containers for six days in order to obtain a fermentation natural process. After that, the juice is pasteurized to stop the fermentation process. In addition to this, a study of physicochemical characterization is carried out to determine pH, density, boiling point and soluble solids levels. A phytochemical analysis by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and a quantitative characterization (HPLC) are lead to ascertain the presence of secondary metabolites such as saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, steroids. These metabolites have biocidal properties that can be considered for studies on coffee rust control, specifically, related to Caturra coffee variety. The research is conducted in Cielo Verde farm, located in vereda: La Pradera; municipaliy: Nariño; department: Nariño. These research is undertaken identifying the severity percentage of the pathogen utilizing the scale proposed by James Clive. Different concentrations of the bio-input are evaluated, 1.000, 10.000 y 100.000 μg/mL, determining the incident rate of the biocide of the rust on the leaves of the coffee crops.

Published: April 2024

The creole guava (Psidium guajava) is a fruit native to tropical America, is characterized by having a high intake of vitamins A and C. It has a pulp yield of 77% with 23% residues (seeds and husk), which They can be used as food ingredients. The seed has a high content of dietary fiber (72%) and fat (10%), highlighting the content of linoleic acid. The objective of this research is to obtain a bar of vegan cereals taking advantage of all the components of the guava to solve the problems that arise in Anolaima due to the post-harvest losses of the fruit. For this, a design of mixtures of extreme vertices was used with four random factors (quinoa, candied guayaba peel, peanut and quinoa pop), obtaining 7 different formulations, the variable variables being the instrumental (TPA) and sensory (JAR) texture. The results obtained by the tpa allowed to know the hardness of all the formulations, the values obtained range from 2500 gf to 6300 gf in the first bite and 2300 gf to 5000 gf in the second bite. The results obtained with the sensorial (JAR) established a range of hardness for the selection of the cereal bar, but it is necessary to perform another sensorial (JAR) for the attributes that were not evaluated.

Authors: Tien Le Minh , Sinh Huynh Van
Published: April 2024

Scientific research is an extremely important element in higher education. Nearly all undergraduate students at the university are required to take research courses in the formation process. Therefore, the current paper aims to explore Vietnamese undergraduate students’ attitudes towards research. To measure attitudes towards research, the study used Papanastasiou’s Revised Attitude Towards Research (R-ATR) scale (2014). This psychometric proprieties scale consisted of 13 items with three factors: research usefulness (4 items), research anxiety (5 items), and positive research predispositions (4 items). Data were collected by a questionnaire survey on a convenient sample of 520 undergraduate students from six universities in Vietnam. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that the students’ attitudes were high in the factor of research usefulness and positive research predispositions. However, in the factor of anxiety, the attitudes were moderate. In addition, the public undergraduate students had significantly more positive attitudes towards research than the private undergraduate students. Similarly significant results were found for gender, year of study, and research experience.
