Authors:   Form of Public Safety and Culture, Ji Man Yeol , Lee Sang Yeol
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study is to present policy suggestions on desirable attitudes toward North Korean defectors through empirical research on the level of familiarity and interest in North Korean defectors, image of North Korea, and image-shaping influence media for new police officers trained at the National Central Police Academy. In order to conduct empirical research, a survey was conducted on 300 adult men and women in their 20s and older who were educated at the National Central Police Academy through the self-evaluation method. From October 1 to October 10, 2021, 300 people responded to a randomized sampling survey with a response rate of 100%, using 300 surveys and analyzed using the IBM SPSS program. As a result of the analysis, the frequency of contact with North Korean defectors in terms of demographic characteristics showed a static correlation with affinity for North Korean defectors, and a talisman correlation with the image of North Korea. Attitudinal traits showed a statistically significant correlation between the three variables of friendliness, interest, and image with North Korean defectors. As for the affinity for North Korean defectors, it can be seen that the more frequent contact there is, the higher the affinity for North Korean defectors. In terms of interest in North Korean defectors, women were more interested in North Korean defectors than men, a statistically significant difference. The image of North Korea showed an inappropriate correlation with the frequency of contact with North Korean defectors. In other words, the more North Korean defectors meet, the more negative images of North Korea accumulate. When we checked the media that influenced the formation of North Korea's image, the media (TV and media media) accounted for more than half of the media (56.0%), followed by the Internet (including SNS) and education. This study seeks to make the following policy recommendations. First, it is the gradual resolution of the “South-South conflict” in Korean society. Second, strengthen multicultural education and publicity activities for the people. Third, the development of various policies. Fourth, comprehensive network construction. Fifth, it is necessary to limit the spread of negative images of North Korean defectors in the mass media. Sixth, strengthen training for new police officers.
Gender, Nationalism, and the Regent Queens in Colonial India
Authors: Annie Treesa Joseph
Published: August 2023

Queens in power are “moments of passage” ( Fradenburg 8) and transition. The queen’s rule emanates from an unforeseen circumstance that every dynasty strives to eschew. This explicates the liminality of their political existence. Since queens are upstaged only in times of crisis, they play a significant role in eschewing internal crises and power struggles. Adverting to the idea of saving grace, queens enable the state's transition from chaos to stability in the event of a king’s death. Agency sans official recognition was the mainstay of a queen’s politics. Queens thus acted as a buffer zone that usually worked towards validating the sovereignty of her husband or son. This paper is a comparative study of two regent queens to delineate how nationalist politics reconceptualized the ‘warrior queen,’ to suit their notions of gender and space. In contrast, pro-British queens remained ignored in the national discourses- neither criticized nor acknowledged. The reasons for the divergent reception of anti-British and Pro-British queens in later discourses by looking at the presence and absence of myths and legends about such queens have also been looked into. To clarify this idea, I have looked at Nawab Sikander Begum of Bhopal and Rani Laxmi Bai of Jhansi, who fought on different sides in the 1857 revolution. This paper tries to analyse how the queens who chose a militant response towards the British incursion could be called ‘warrior queens’ and those who chose a diplomatic strategy could be termed as ‘reformer queens’. The latter could be called so, not because warrior queens did not have reformist tendencies, but because the diplomatic strategies finally helped redefine queenship tradition in a way the former could not carry out successfully. This categorization is not absolute and did not come out from the intentions of these queens, but rather from the mode and consequences of their actions. The paper works towards the inference that the difference between the warrior and the reformer queens in this respect is that, while Rani Lakshmi Bai, knowingly or unknowingly, was an agent of her culture and the ensuing nationalist discourse, Sikander made religion and culture, her agents, to rule the principality in her own right.
Militiarizing Bodies: Transcending the Female Psyche in Niromi de Soyza's Tamil Tigress
Authors: Dr. Anuja Raj
Published: August 2023

Women are often marked as the most vulnerable group in any population, simply because discourses on women center around victimhood and economic responsibility. They are branded as a peace-loving population who naturally abhor violence and are often the victims of violation and sexual assault. The intake of female participants as combatants in the LTTE for their fight against the government was a reassurance for women to gain empowerment and break the clutches of patriarchal domination that wrung around them. LTTE was known for its notoriety and the women tigers in its forces. Many female combatants in the rebel paramilitary force were either abducted or forced to join it. The paper is an examination into the role played by female combatants in the LTTE through the memoir of Niromi De Soyza's Tamil Tigress: My Story as a Child Soldier in Sri Lanka's Bloody Civil War (2011). The book is an autobiographical first hand narration of a guerilla woman soldier who tries to understand her position as an empowered woman- a sacred virgin for the plight of the nation and later redemption. The paper tries to understand how the acceptance into the group of militant combatants affected the gendered crisis associated to a woman. It is an unravelling of the psyche of a woman soldier in the traumatic throes of a nation burdened by three decade long civil strife.

Combretum paniculatum (CP) vent is popularly used in traditional medicine to treat peptic ulcer disease. The anti-ulcer activities of 80% methanol leaf extract of CP was evaluated in rats and mice. The effects of CP extract on gastric ulcer in rats and mice in pylorus ligation –induced model was studied using varying concentrations (200, 400 and 800 mg/kg body weight). Omeprazole (20mg/kg body weight) was used as the reference drug. Parameters such as volume, PH of gastric fluid, ulcer sore, percentage ulceration, percent inhibition of the ulcer sore, ulcer index and percent inhibition of ulcer index were determined. Histopathological study was also conducted. Data were analyzed using One-way analysis of variance followed by Tuckey’s post hoc test and P< 0.05 was considered as statistically significant as well as P< 0.01 as statistically highly significant. The oral median Lethal dose (LD50) was found to be greater than 2000mg/kg, phytochemicals such as flavonoids, tannins, phenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, glycosides and steroids were found to be present while saponins were found to be absent. CP highly significantly (P<0.01) reduced gastric ulcer index by 49.6%, 62.4% and 87.6% , CP posseses both dose-dependent and time dependent anti-ulcer activities. This study validates the anti-ulcer pharmacological activities of this plant, further investigation should be carried out to isolate specific phytochemicals as well as authenticate the mechanisms of action responsible for these activities.

Authors:   Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, Ortega Josue , García-Ramírez Yasmany ,   Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, Parreño Carolina ,   Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja
Published: August 2023

Technological advances have accelerated the development of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in recent years. AVs offer several potential benefits, such as improving road safety, fuel efficiency, traffic flow and reducing greenhouse gases. The problem is that while AVs offer potential benefits, they also present ethical challenges and concerns, and there is a lack of research on public perceptions specifically among young Ecuadorians, who are heavy technology consumers. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the attitudes and perceptions of young Ecuadorians towards AVs by presenting them with positive and negative information about AVs. More than 500 surveys were collected using the snowball technique in the community of the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL), which is located in a city in the south of the country. The survey looked at their perceptions before and after they were presented with positive and negative information about AVs. The study found gender and driving frequency differences in the perception of (AVs, with women exhibiting greater reductions in their opinions and confidence levels about AVs compared to men, and overall, there was a slight decline in opinion towards AVs, accompanied by increased concerns about AVs travel. Driving frequency had an impact on perception and concerns. This type of study allows for a better understanding of the perceived benefits and concerns regarding AVs adoption in Ecuador.

Published: August 2023

This article aims to analyze how waqf -a non-profit institution- is managed for profit orientation by one of the waqf agencies, namely Muhammadiyah Indonesia, which represents an entity of the Muslim community. A qualitative and quantitative approach was applied in primary data collection from two waqf information management systems belonging to Muhammadiyah (SIMAM) and the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs (SIWAK), also an interview with the waqf manager of Muhammadiyah. There are the following conclusions after calculating the economic valuation of waqf land properties and their governance by one of Muhammadiyah's educational institutions, namely Muhammadiyah Boarding School. First, the potential of waqf land managed by Muhammadiyah in Yogyakarta can be seen from its economic valuation, approximately IDR 916.7 billion. Second, the Muhammadiyah waqf intensification carried out by its social business units in various socio-economic sectors creates benefits whose impact is not only limited to the scope of the social business itself but also extends to the entire Muslim community and becomes an intermediary of realizing socio-economic autonomy of this faith-based organization. Third, the Muhammadiyah waqf intensification impacts not only the sustainability of the waqf assets & properties but also the sustainability of Muhammadiyah and the Muslim community.

Prior to the 15th century, when there was a shortage of money on the market, entrepreneurs, artisans, and other individuals faced a significant obstacle when it came to procuring resources for their investments or work. This lack of financial resources prompted people to develop new methods and institutions to address this issue. Over time, a variety of financial institutions sought to collect depositors’ excess assets and lend them to those in need at predetermined interest rates. These institutions were influenced by the religious convictions, customs, and traditions of the societies in which they existed. One of these institutions was Cash Waqf (CW). The CWs played a significant role in addressing the financial challenges encountered by entrepreneurs, artisans, and other individuals who struggled to obtain the necessary resources to pursue economic endeavors.

Living Together: Ancient Solutions for Modern Problems in Public Service Sustainability with Ottoman Cash Waqfs
Authors: Aydınbaş Yunus Emre
Published: August 2023

Human beings are social beings by nature, living within and with society. The ontological rationale of society is public services. Public services are both the cause and the result of people living together. One of the few things that have continued to exist with the human species from the earliest times to the present day is public services. This phenomenon may indicate the strong necessity and high adaptability of public services. Throughout the historical process, humanity has applied many models to produce public services, and in today's modern material civilization, public services are produced by the Nation State, and the cost of these services is covered by taxes collected from society. In this study, while the sustainability of the methods used by nation states to finance public services is being discussed, a critical perspective on the sustainability paradigm is also presented. The discussion highlights the necessity of developing public service financing methods that do not require sustainability and proposes the waqf paradigm as an alternative suggestion. The proposal is concretized with examples from the Ottoman period Rumelian cash waqfs.

Leisure areas in cities are squares, urbanized green areas, museums, outdoor gyms, convention centers, multi-sports facilities, clubs, malls, theaters, cinemas, bars. Some areas that are not considered for leisure, but that play an important social role are the social assistance places where the needy population receives various types of assistance. Regarding these places, it is reasonable to ask whether they could be treated as leisure areas, associating them with green areas, gardens, outdoor gyms for a more humanized service. A descriptive/investigative research was carried out and the methods were field survey and bibliographical survey to base the hypothesis and reach the objective. The space used was a Religious Center that serves a needy population in a neighborhood of Alfenas − MG every day of the week. A plan was drawn up to make the environment more humane with alternatives to provide leisure and comfort for the population. The project proposal is feasible in accordance with the objectives of this work, but, in financial terms, other works could aim to budget and reduce the costs for its implementation, since the effectiveness of the theoretical data placed here fits within an Architecture project and Modern Civil Engineering.

Authors: Santos Agenilda , Castro Joana D'arc , Silva Marco , Andrade Rodrigo
Published: August 2023

Environmental valuation has been applied since 1987. In this article, a bibliometric approach was employed between the years 1987 and 2022 using the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases to examine the scientific production on this subject. The VOSviewer software was used, and a sample of 712 publications in WoS and 743 in Scopus was found. The highest number of publications in WoS was in 2018, while in Scopus it was in 2017. During the research period, the United States had the highest number of publications on environmental valuation in WoS, while the United Kingdom had the highest number in Scopus. The most frequently appearing keyword was "environmental valuation" in both platforms. The author with the highest number of publications was Nick Hanley from the University of Glasgow in Scotland, in both platforms. The topic of environmental valuation has gained importance over the years due to increased interest in the environment, as a response to the damages incurred.

Conservation Units (UC) have undergone a significant transformation process in recent years, both in relation to the creation of new units and in the management of these protected areas. In this study, articles published in scientific journals classified in different areas were investigated, aiming to contribute to the understanding of the state of the art on the methodologies used for Sustainability Indicators in protected areas. Methodologically, the research was qualitative and quantitative and was guided by content analysis of the articles studied and analyzed on sustainability indicators in UC through the production of the last 20 years, in the database of the Portal de Periódicos of the Coordination for the Improvement of Personnel of Higher Level (CAPES). Data analyzes were carried out using content analysis and the aid of the IRAMUTEQ software. The searches resulted in a low number of articles related to the theme for the area of environmental management, with little participatory approach, concentrated on reduced dimensions of sustainability linked to the practice of tourism and with different methodologies adopted.
A Review of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Focal Therapy Results Using the MRI Ultrasound Fusion
Authors: Johnson Becca
Published: August 2023

To provide its therapeutic effects, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment makes use of ultrasonic waves that are transmitted through tissue medium. This non-invasive technology shows capacity for a variety of medical applications, including tumor ablation, vascular coagulation, and gene and drug delivery. Nonetheless, there are many problems that can arise from using this technology. The goal of this research was to examine the effectiveness of focused HIFU treatment for prostate cancer by employing an MRI-US fusion platform to pinpoint the precise location of the tumor and administer the therapy. Focal HIFU treatment for locally advanced prostate cancer is a prospective case series employed in this article. There must not be a Gleason 5 signal on the prostatic biopsy and the focal lesion must be less than 20 mm in size on multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for inclusion. The first half of the series were treated with traditional HIFU focused treatment, whereas the second half were treated using an MRI-US fusion platform. Requirement for salvage treatment was used as the major outcome measure of treatment efficacy. Results of supplementary interest were Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) change, intraoperative morbidity, postoperative clinical outcome, and tumor resurgence in follow-up biopsies.
Fear is Anticipatory: A Buddhist Analysis
Authors: Finnigan Bronwyn
Published: August 2023

This article derives from the Buddhist Nikāya Suttas the idea that fear has an intentional object that is best analysed in anticipatory terms. Something is feared, I argue, if construed as dangerous, where to construe something as dangerous is to anticipate it will cause certain
unwanted effects. To help explain what this means, I appeal to the concept of formal objects in the philosophy of emotions and to predictive processing accounts of perception. I demonstrate how this analysis of fear can do exegetical work in the context of the Nikāya Suttas, and respond
to philosophical issues concerning the relation between the intentional and anticipatory dimensions of fear; the relevant anticipated effects of feared objects; and whether fearing subjects necessarily know they anticipate unwanted effects. I also draw an analogy to allostatic sensations to
engage issues concering how the anticipatory dimension of fear relates to the motivational.
Against Emotions as Feelings: Towards an Attitudinal Profile of Emotion
Authors: Díaz Rodrigo
Published: August 2023

Are feelings an essential part or aspect of emotion? Cases of unconscious emotion suggest that this is not the case. However, it has been claimed that unconscious emotions are better understood as either (a) emotions that are phenomenally conscious but not reflectively conscious, or
(b) dispositions to have emotions rather than emotions proper. Here, I argue that these ways of accounting for unconscious emotions are inadequate, and propose a view of emotions as non-phenomenal attitudes that regard their contents as relevant to one's motivations.

Objective: In the technology-driven world nowadays, bullying has transcended the in-person to the cyberspace. Cyber-bullying can occur through email and text messages, chat rooms, social media, or instant messaging, and via unwelcome distribution of photos or videos, exclusion from online social networks, or theft of online identity. Cyber-bullying has caused a degeneration in the academic performance of numerous adolescents and the key variable that this study focused on is gender. Coping strategies have been developed to help adolescents withstand the trauma of cyber-bullying, and prominent ones include seeking support from parents and peers, confronting or ignoring the cyber bully. The purpose of the study is to determine the number of male and female students that experience cyber bullying in secondary schools in Anambra State, Nigeria. Methods: Data for the study was collected through a survey of a sample of 1,123 in-school adolescents in gender-mixed secondary schools in Anambra State, Nigeria. The research instrument was adapted from Corcoran’s (2013) instrument that dealt with incidence and coping strategies of cyber-bullying. The sampling technique used was proportionate stratified random sampling. Data was analyzed using standard deviation. Results: The findings indicate that cyber-bullying was prevalent among in-school adolescents in Anambra State secondary schools in Nigeria. The implication of this finding is that the availability and usage of social media has opened up avenues for people to indulge in a lot of negative activities that can be injurious to others. Conclusion: It is concluded that there is a prevalence of in-person cyberbullying among adolescents in Anambra State Secondary Schools. It is also verified that female adolescents in Anambra State experience cyber-bullying more than their male counterparts.

As a country's economy continues to develop, the supply of materials required for the development of the country's major industries increases, and many of the products produced need to be exported abroad, which leads to greater demand for foreign trade. The increasing demand for foreign trade has led to a great development of the country's logistics industry and has also put pressure on the basic transport conditions. As domestic and international trade becomes more frequent, the domestic industry is boosted, and it is a question of how to accurately calculate and forecast the volume of containers generated for external and domestic trade. In this paper, the generation coefficient method is applied to calculate the volume of domestic and foreign trade containers generated in the study area, taking the countries of the West African region as an example, to determine their logistics needs. On the basis of this, a regression model is used to forecast the future container volumes of West African countries in conjunction with economic development trends. The forecast results can be used as a reference basis for the construction of transport infrastructure, port development and further logistics planning in the study area.

Published: August 2023

In order to accurately measure the distance and size information of underwater targets, an underwater target ranging and size measurement system based on binocular vision is proposed. Underwater binocular calibration method is used to obtain the underwater parameters of binocular camera, and the underwater images are calibrated to make them coplanar and aligned. The improved CLAHE algorithm is used to process underwater images and improve the image contrast. The parallax map is obtained by SGBM stereo matching algorithm, and the distance and size of the target are measured and calculated according to the parallax map. The results of underwater experiment show that the measurement accuracy of the system is high for the distance and size of the close-range underwater target, and the measurement error conforms to the requirements of underwater experiment.

In order to improve the brand power of national auto brands and build a strong country for national auto brands, based on the research of this paper, the use of analytic hierarchy process and entropy weight method is used to calculate the score of auto brand power. First, consult a large amount of information to determine the relevant indicator factors. Here, eight indicators are selected, respectively from market research data and sales-related market-side data. Then, the AHP + entropy weight method is used to calculate the first-level index score of the user terminal according to the questionnaire questions of the second-level index. Secondly, on the basis of eight index scores, the entropy weight method is used to calculate the first-level index weight, and the weighted sum method is used to calculate the brand power. Finally, four brands are used for experimental verification, and the results meet the actual situation. Therefore, the method studied in this paper can be used as a reference for promoting brand power.
