PRINCIPLES OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INTEGRATION OF INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS
Authors: Khymynets Volodymyr , Holovka Anatoliy
Published: August 2023

Internal migration is one of the most significant consequences of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The social impacts of the war include the demographic changes in Ukrainian regions. We can identify the three groups of regions: (1) regions from where the population is forced to leave, (2) transit regions, as well as (3) recipient regions (those taking on the biggest burden due to the reception of internally displaced persons). In addition to purely humanitarian tasks (resettlement of people, providing them with food, medicines, etc.), regions and communities faced the task of ensuring their own economic stability as a stabilizing factor of the national economy in the midst of a complex military and political situation. The authors of the article propose to analyze the consequences of internal migration as drivers strengthening the labor potential in the Ukrainian recipient communities and recipient regions. It is substantiated that the human capital of internally displaced persons should be perceived as one of the drivers of local and regional development.

In the framework of the article, the argumentation is based on the assumption that the military actions are long-term (the “war of attrition” scenario), and after the end of military actions, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and relocated enterprises will not be able to return to the territory of their permanent residence for a long period of time (until the infrastructure is restored, the housing stock is reconstructed, and demining and other measures are completed).

According to this approach, it is necessary to clarify three levels of state regional policies: (1) placing IDPs in safe locations and ensuring satisfactory living conditions for them; (2) assisting in the use of IDP’s human capital within the framework of the regional economy; (3) facilitating inclusive governance and the inclusion of IDPs in the life of host communities and regions. At the same time, the authors of the article emphasize the following: it is necessary to prevent the creation of institutional obstacles for the reintegration of IDPs into places of permanent residence, which can lead to disparities in regional and community development.
An Analysis of Evolutionary Methodology for Interpretable Logical Fuzzy Rule-Based Systems
Authors: Zilberman Judith
Published: August 2023

Machine modeling approach entails constructing dynamical prototypes explaining the performance of real networks from measurable data using analytical models and technologies. Using Fuzzy Logic (FL) necessitates a trade-off between interpretability and efficiency. According to essential theories and system identification techniques, achieving precise and also human-comprehensible FL plays is fundamental and plays a crucial role. Prior to the introduction of soft computing, however, FL model makers' primary priority was reliability, bringing the resultant FL nearer to black-box frameworks like neural networks. Fortunately, the Infinite-valued modelling scientific world has returned to its roots by exploring design strategies that address the interpretability and accuracy tradeoff. Because of their intrinsic versatility and capacity to examine several optimization criteria simultaneously, the application of evolutionary FL control has been greatly expanded. This paper is a study of the most typical evolutionary Infinite-valued technologies that use Mamdani Infinite-valued rule-based approaches to produce interpretable logical Fuzzy Rule-Based Systems (FRBSs), which are highly interpretable.

Published: August 2023

Cities produce a significant quantity of land-use, ecological, economical, energy, and transportation data. An interdisciplinary approach to gathering and evaluating such massive amounts of data may provide a solution of the wide range educational, political, and regulatory, administration, and corporate decisions, as well as aid judgement in order to create a smarter ecosystem. This article proposes a cloud-based analytic service to provide an experimental and theoretical viewpoint on smart cities centered on large data gathering and evaluation. In order to showcase the effectiveness of an analytical service for large data mining, a prototype was created and constructed. Hadoop was used to develop the prototype, and the data were consistent. The tool examines the Bristol Open metadata for connections between a number of different urban ecological factors. The outcomes of experiments utilizing Hadoop are given in this article. The data catalogued was analyzed to evaluate the indicators distributed over decades to determine good and detrimental developments in standard of living, namely crimes, safety, economics, and unemployment.

Authors: Rayshan Ahmed Raheem , Abdulwahid Ammar A. , Alsaedi Alyaa Abdulhussein
Published: August 2023

Globally, the effects of consuming a diet rich in fat have gained great concerted attention. The current study was conducted to evaluate the protective effects of melatonin on neurological disorders induced by the western diet in rats. A total of 30 adult male white local Iraqi rats were randomly assigned to three equal groups, including control (CC), high-fat diet (HFD), and melatonin group (HFD+M, a high-fat diet along with intraperitoneal injections of 10 mg/kg body weight melatonin) for 8 weeks. The rats were analyzed in terms of brain tissue concentration of dopamine, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and nervous system impairment using Barns maze task and elevated plus maze. The findings revealed a significant decline in the dopamine concentration of the HFD group after 8 weeks of treatment, compared to CC and HFD+M groups. Moreover, there was a significant increase in brain TNF-α concentration in the group fed HFD, compared with CC and HFD+M. Finally, the melatonin treatment significantly reduced spatial memory impairments and anxiety induced by HFD in rats. After 8 weeks, the histological examination revealed that brain section rats on an HFD indicated significant congestion in the blood vessels with marked cerebral edema, where there was a dilation of Virchow-Robin space, severe congestion, and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the meninges. The HFD+M groups showed normal meninges without any inflammatory exudate except for a few congestions in the blood vessels and no or mild vacuolations in the cerebral tissue, gliosis, and astrocytosis. In contrast, male rats fed an HFD showed vacuolation and aerophagia in brain tissue and a marked aggregation of the proliferation of astrocytes and a proliferation of microglial cells in the cerebral. In conclusion, HFD impairs brain neurotransmitters, induces pro-inflammatory changes, and affects learning ability and memory by changing the structure of neural tissue. Melatonin can ameliorate HFD-caused effects.
Protective Role of Rosa damascena Miller hydroalcoholic extract on Oxidative Stress Parameters and Testis Tissue in Rats Treated with Sodium Arsenite
Authors: Khorasgani Elham Moghtadaei , Mahdian Shiva
Published: August 2023

Regarding the strong antioxidant properties of Rosa damascene extract, this study aimed to investigate the protective role of Rosa damascene Miller hydroalcoholic petal extract on oxidative stress parameters and testis tissue in rats treated with sodium arsenite. To this end, 30 male rats were divided into five groups, including control, positive control (treated with arsenite), and three groups of patients affected by sodium arsenite with 150 mg/kg, 300 mg/kg, and 450 mg/kg Rosa damascene extract for 34 days by gavage. The animals were then anesthetized, and the blood samples were collected from the heart. The left testis was removed for histopathological studies. The findings revealed that Sodium arsenite in the positive group caused a significant reduction in TAC, testosterone, and serum Luteinizing hormone (LH) and a significant increase in serum Malondialdehyde. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference among the groups regarding the amount of Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Moreover, the consumption of Rosa damascene extract with sodium arsenite caused a significant increase in testosterone, LH, and FSH compared to the positive control group. Histopathological results showed that in the experimental group receiving a dosage of 300 mg/kg b.w and the control group, the number of sperm tubes increased, and the germinal epithelium’s thickness was appropriate. Daily treatment with Rosa damascene extract with a dosage of 300 mg/kg b.w for 34 days could improve the changes caused by sodium arsenite and reduce Malondialdehyde levels. Thus, it seems that Rosa damascene hydroalcoholic extract can effectively improve the male reproductive system’s function.

Published: August 2023

The study of patho-anatomical changes is essential in identifying pathological processes and diagnosing especially comorbid pathologies. The aim of this study was to reveal pathological changes and differences in the spontaneous comorbidity of tuberculosis (Mycobacterium avium) and eimeriosis (Eimeria spp.) in adult chickens and ornamental pheasants. The paper highlighted the results of pathological-anatomical changes in adult domestic chickens (n = 17) and ornamental pheasants (n = 5) with spontaneous comorbidity of eimeriosis and tuberculosis. Mycobacteria was detected using bacterioscopy of smears-prints from fragments of organs and Eimeria oocysts were detected by the Füllenborn flotation method. In pheasants, tubercular granulomas were found in the intestine, liver, and spleen in combination with scarring and swelling of the wall and mesentery, and venous stasis in the mesenteric vessels. In addition, hematomas and organ destruction in the liver and spleen were found in pheasants. In domestic chickens, tuberculous granulomas and steatosis were found in the liver. In the intestines, there were indications of mucocatarrhal inflammation, edema, hyperplasia, and small hemorrhages in the area of the cecal-intestinal diverticulum. Tuberculous nodules, internal hemorrhages around the perimeter of the tubercle, and devascularization were observed in the spleen. The present study revealed notable differences in the pathological and anatomical changes resulting from the comorbidity of eimeriosis and tuberculosis in domestic chickens and pheasants.
Fingerprint Recognition Using Deep Learning - A Review
Authors:   Computer Science and Engineering, Shivalik Group of Collegers,  Dehradun, 248001, India, Winters David
Published: August 2023

There have been efforts to address the problems with fingerprint identification systems that require physical contact by creating contactless fingerprint identification systems. Numerous studies on various aspects of contactless fingerprint processing, including the use of deep learning in various algorithmic frameworks, classical image processing, and the machine-learning pipeline, have been published. It was demonstrated that the deep learning-based solutions were more accurate than the alternatives. This effort was driven by a desire to provide a thorough assessment of these successes and their identified limitations. This study examined three approaches to contactless fingerprint recognition: (i) methods for capturing images of the fingerprint, (ii) traditional preprocessing techniques for enhancing fingerprint images for recognition tasks, and (iii) deep learning. (i) taking a picture of your finger, and (ii) using conventional image processing to get the picture ready for recognition. In total, eight research papers were found to meet both the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on this review's findings, we discussed the potential benefits of deep learning methods for biometrics and the challenges that still need to be overcome before these methods can be used in practical biometric settings.
Evaluering af trafiksikkerhed på 2 minus 1-veje
Authors: L.Jensen Morten
Published: August 2023

En 2 minus 1-vej er en vej, som visuelt kun har et enkelt kørespor, der servicerer dobbeltrettet trafik. Der er brede kantbaner i begge sider, som benyttes af cyklister og gående og afmærkes med stiplede/punkterede 30 cm kantlinjer. Kantbanerne benyttes også som vigeareal, når to modkørende biler mødes, og de er således ikke kun forbeholdt lette trafikanter, da biler godt må overskride de punkterede kantlinjer, fx ved mødesituationer med andre biler.Hensigten med en 2 minus 1-vej er 1) at forbedre forholdene for cyklende og gående indenfor det eksisterende vejprofil på smalle veje med lav trafik, 2) at reducere kørehastigheden og 3) at øge afstanden mellem kørespor og faste genstande.Både blandt fagfolk og lægmænd er der delte meninger om 2 minus 1-vejenes anvendelighed. Nogle er tilhængere af vejtypen, mens andre er mere skeptiske. For hvad er effekten reelt, når man ser samlet på trafiksikkerhed, tryghed og fremkommelighed for bløde trafikanter?I oktober 2015 kom Vejdirektoratet med en erfaringsopsamling om 2 minus 1-veje med fokus på bl.a. udbredelse og design, typer af hastighedsdæmpning samt adfærd og information. Denne indeholdt desuden ni gode eksempler på 2 minus 1-veje, som er etableret under hensyn til forskellige forudsætninger så som vejbredde, trafikmængder, hastighedsniveau, strækningslængde mm.I december 2015 udkom Trafitec med en trafiksikkerhedsanalyse af 55 danske 2 minus 1-veje fordelt på 23 kommuner. Evalueringen er lavet som et før-efter studie, hvor strækningerne blev inddelt i forskellige kategorier ud fra parametre som vejbredde, kantbanebredde, trafikmængde, skiltet hastighed, by/land, med/uden hastighedsdæmpning mm. Trafitec anbefalede, at der laves en opfølgende ulykkesanalyse tidligst i 2019, idet mange nye strækninger ville blive etableret i perioden efter 2015. (Lund, 2015)I forbindelse med udarbejdelsen af håndbogen ’Vejtekniske løsninger for cyklister’ for Vejdirektoratet (2022a), har Via Trafik gennemgået en række både danske og udenlandske studier af 2 minus 1-veje med henblik på at undersøge vejtypens effekt på trafiksikkerhed, tryghed og fremkommelighed. Konklusionen er, at selvom flere studier peger i retning af bedre sikkerhed, tryghed og fremkommelighed på 2 minus 1-veje, er der fortsat ingen studier, der fyldestgørende har dokumenteret en signifikant effekt af vejtypen.

Published: August 2023

The global widespread of Corona virus disease is still having a catastrophic impact on mankind. COVID-19 has depicted its uncertain adversity in all age groups and the coexistence of co-morbidities have further shown a critical aspect of disease which has additionally ravaged the health status of the patients. The inflammatory markers have exhibited potential usefulness in predicting the outcome of the disease. The Aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation of inflammatory markers in COVID-19 positive patients among various age groups. The study was done on 225 COVID-19 patients, admitted to Mayo Institute of Medical Sciences, Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh India, between 1st April-15th June 2021 categorizing into two groups based on their age (≤45 years and >45 years) and then values of various markers were gathered and compared. Among the 225 admitted COVID-19 patients, 78(34.6%) were ≤45 years, while the remaining 147(65.4%) were >45 years. Between these two age groups the aberrant values of inflammatory makers like Neutrophil count (p=0.0001), Lymphocyte count (p=0.0001), Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) (p=0.0091), Serum CRP level (p=0.0437), Lymphocyte to C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) (p=0.0007) as well as Serum Ferritin level (p=0.0097) were found to be statistically significant whereas the remaining parameters like Total leucocyte count (TLC) (p=0.0905), Platelet count (p=0.8202) and Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (p=0.1513) were statistically insignificant. The results conclude that there was a significant correlation between the age and the inflammatory markers in these patients. Patients with > 45 years had elevated/deranged levels of inflammatory markers, which were associated with the severity and poor prognosis of the disease. Thus, age can be considered as one of the important key risk factor for the severity of COVID-19 in both sexes and hence more clinical attention should be given to elderly age group.

ISLAMOPHOBIA : ANTI-MUSLIM SENTIMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON MUSLIM WOMEN
Authors: Ade Salamah
Published: August 2023

In contemporary times Islamophobia became a global sociological concern - not just for Indonesia; but for the entire Muslim world. Internationally Western mainstream media, started referencing Islam, Islamic countries and muslim demographics as “terrorist”, “extremists”, and as only “radicals”. The 9/11 incident in New York marked the hight of Islamophobia internationally. In some countries, like France, Britain and the US, where the majority of the population is non-Muslim, this anti-Muslim sentiment can be seen in several forms, such as Muslims being treated disrespectfully and unfairly. These anti-muslim manifestations certainly has a very devastating impact on particularly Muslim women living in non-Muslim (Western) countries, especially for those wearing the hijab and burqa. Indonesia, which internationally has the greatest Muslim majority, is not immune to the unjust phenomenon of Islamophobia, with several schools and institutions prohibiting students from wearing, for example the hijab. The purpose of this study is to realize a religious life marked by the values of mutual respect, inclusivity and tolerance without discrimination. The method used in this study is qualitative, while the data collection technique uses the library research method. Limitations and formulations of the problems to be problematised are as follows: 1) the forms and causes of Islamophobia in Indonesia and Western countries; and 2) how Islamophobia impacts particularly Muslim women living in non-Muslim countries. The final aims of this study are: 1) provide understanding and/or greater clarity about Islam; and 2) protecting the rights of women, especially Muslim women, so that they can practice their beliefs freely, without any prejudice and discrimination.

Identifying Taxis and Logico-Semantic Relations in Chinese EFL Writing Samples
Authors: Zhou Yanhe , Bin Zainol Abidin Mohamad Jafre
Published: August 2023

In the context of EFL writing in China, there is a prevalent tendency among students to heavily rely on the provided model essays from teachers, leading to a phenomenon known as sameness. This overreliance often results in confusion when it comes to expressing ideas effectively in sentences. To address this issue, this paper adopts an analytical framework based on the theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). SFL is a linguistic theory that emphasizes language’s social context and meaning (Halliday, 1985; 1994). Notably, SFL prioritizes meaning over form and examines the organization of texts as well as individual sentences. The theory has been widely applied in discourse analysis and language teaching. This paper offers a brief literature review on key SFL terms, such as language rank, clause, clause complex, taxis, and logico-semantic relation. Additionally, the paper presents examples of identifying taxis and logico-semantic relations using two types of EFL writing samples from SFL perspective. The analysis reveals that the first text, a comparison and contrast essay, predominantly employs the relation of extension, whereas the second text, an argumentative piece, prominently exhibits the logico-semantic relation of enhancement. The paper provides insight into the use of SFL as an analytical tool for analyzing variable text types. Students learning from these analytical tools may have more grammatical awareness in identifying clause boundaries and logico-semantic relations across different writing genres.

Published: August 2023

This study investigates the impact of interlinear vs. L1 marginal glosses on the Iraqi Learning of vocabulary in EFL instructional setting. Along with all the efforts made during past 3 decades to improve the teaching of vocabulary via various strategies and techniques countywide, the classical grammar-translation method and its offspring are still widely used in most schools in Iraq. By analyzing the elicited data out of the management, treatment, and assessment of 92 pre-university students studying in two high schools in Iraq, the inquirer observed a reliable improvement of vocabulary learning in participants. To examine the effectiveness of the two glossing strategies, i.e., the implantation of L1 marginal and interlinear glosses, the results of pre and post-test of three groups were compared using One-Way ANOVA. We found reliable difference between the two groups in post-test vocabulary learning. Consequently, L1 marginal and Interlinear glosses both have come to make the learners understand L2 texts well, in comparison with the other group. Ultimately, Marginal glossing is more effective than the interlinear (text) glossing in the improvement of vocabulary development of Iraqi EFL learners.

The Retail Revolution: Synergy of E-Tail and Brickand-Mortar in a Post-Pandemic Era
Authors: Ahuja Dr. Komal
Published: August 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly accelerated the digital transformation of the retail industry, forcing both traditional brick-and-mortar stores and online retailers to adapt and innovate. As the world gradually emerges from the pandemic, it becomes apparent that a new era of retail is taking shape—one that combines the strengths of ecommerce and traditional retail into a harmonious amalgamation. This paper explores the future of retail by examining the convergence of e-tail and retail, envisioning a landscape where online and offline shopping experiences seamlessly blend. In this post-pandemic world, retailers are recognizing the need to bridge the gap between the convenience and accessibility of e-commerce and the sensory and interactive aspects of in-store shopping. The paper highlights the key drivers behind this amalgamation, including evolving consumer preferences, advancements in technology, and the quest for personalized, immersive experiences.

Mapping Ishigurian Temporality: The Timeless Universe and His Prodigal Offspring
Authors: Calinescu Amalia
Published: August 2023

Time's elusive and enigmatic nature becomes evident when examining its diverse conceptualizations across fields, from cyclical rhythms to linear progression and quantum manifestation. While in Einsteinian physics time intertwines with space to form spacetime, revolutionizing the view of the Universe, the human perception of time involves a complex interplay of psychological factors, influencing memories, decision-making, and well-being. Literature has also embraced time as a central theme, transcending reality and exploring temporal distortion. This study takes a comprehensive journey through the intricate and multi-dimensional nature of a concept so deeply embedded in the human experience. Drawing insights from temporal science, psychology, spirituality, and literary studies, the research paper delves into the profound implications of temporal manipulation in the works of renowned writer Kazuo Ishiguro. The protagonists' distorted timelines highlight the fluidity and subjectivity of time, reflecting the intricate relationship between psychological states and time perception. Ishiguro's use of temporal dislocation reflects feelings of alienation and disconnection, illuminating the characters' struggles with memory, identity, mortality, and the search for meaning. Ultimately, the study seeks to demonstrate that Kazuo Ishiguro's novels provide profound insight into the human condition and the timeless quest for understanding. By embracing the primordial nature of existence, individuals may transcend the limitations of their time perception and connect with cosmic greatness. Ishiguro's work thus stands as a testament to literature's enduring relevance in illuminating human experience and the enigmatic nature of time itself. Overall, an in-depth exploration of time and its variants in literature leads to a more comprehensive understanding of life, fostering interdisciplinary connections and a holistic view of the world.

The economy of Pakistan is facing the problem of the persistent current account and the budget deficit in the past many years. This study addresses the important question of whether the budget deficit affects the current account components of the balance of payments, creating imbalances therein as well. The main objective of this research is to investigate the association between the budget and the current account deficit in Pakistan. The study has taken data from the period 1980-2021. Johansen’s cointegration approach has been applied to find the long-run association and the results imply a positive and considerable long-run association between budget deficit and current account deficit. The Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) specifies the convergence or deviation of the market in the short run to the long run. The finding shows that there is a long-run connection between the budget and the current account deficit. The study suggests that government should focus on a sound budgeting policy and focus to make exports more competitive in the foreign market.

The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the extent of Fungal contamination of livestock feed stuffs of plants origin stored for five years at Plateau State College of Agriculture, Garkawa. The feed ingredients were: wheat offals, cowpea husks, cotton seeds, kidney beans seeds, baobab seeds, bambara nut husks, palm kernel cake, baobab seed meal, rice offals, yam peels, ground nut cake and sweet orange peels. Microbiological quality of these feedstuffs were conducted using standard microbiological technique for food and animal feeding stuffs at Microbiology Unit of Central Diagnostic Laboratory at National Veterinary Research Institute Vom, Plateau State, Nigeria. The study revealed a total of eight fungi spp: Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus, Penicillum spp, Rhizopus spp, Mucor spp, Trichophyton rubrum, Aspergillus spp and Aspergillus flavus. From the findings, cowpea husks, cotton seed, kidney beans seed, baobab seed and bambara nut husks were contaminated by Aspergillus niger (28.57%) as the dominant species of fungi followed by: Aspergillus fumigatus (19.05%) (baobab seed, bambara nut husks, blood meal, and baobab seed meal) and baobab seed (Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus and Penicillium spp). Wheat offals and palm kernel cake had the highest total fungi counts of 4.0 x 102 cfu/g followed by yam peels, sweet orange peel and bone meal with 3.0 x 102 cfu/g and baobab seed meal had 2.2 x 102 cfu/g. To reduce the growth of mould on livestock feed ingredients stored over long periods of time, regular monitoring of moisture levels of these ingredients should be checked before embarking on storage.
