Detecting Pneumonia Using Deep Learning and Computer Vision
Authors: Iordanov Grace
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Pneumonia is one of the most common causes of death of kids under the age of 5 and it currently stands as one of the top reason for hospitalization in the US for people over the age of 65, but with early identification and treatment the person who has the disease can survive. Multiple deep learning models for image classification including CNNs, RNNs can allow rapid identification of Pneumonia to begin treatment of the patient to increase the chance of survival. Pneumonia is usually detected through X rays. Formal detection of the disease through this method is very timely and can cause human errors. During this research I am going to use the VGG 19 model, the Resnet 50 model and Xception model to detect pneumonia from pictures of Lung x rays to see if it is possible to be able to detect accurately instances of pneumonia in x rays using convolutional neural networks. I will do analysis on the models and find which model is the most accurate for this classification task.
Social Transformation of International Human Rights Law Through Indonesian Constitutional Court
Authors: Mirza Isroni Muhammad Miraj , Natamiharja Rudi , Serna Jalil Alejandro Magaldi
Published: October 2023

The importance of human rights in international law cannot be overstated. International Law plays a fundamental role in safeguarding and promoting human rights, which are safeguarded through a variety of legal instruments, including international conventions and international declarations, both of which are recognized as instruments of international law. The fundamental principles of Human Rights are recognized in the legal system of Indonesia. These fundamental principles are expressed in the Constitution and its related legal documents through the provisions and values that govern human rights. Thus, the preamble of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia includes the fundamental principles of Self-determination, Independence, Security, Social Welfare, and Education. This research will look at how the Indonesian Constitution regulates and guarantees the implementation of international human rights law through the Indonesian Constitutional Court, as well as how these rights are integrated into society from both the government's and society's perspective. This research is done through interdisciplinary approach, combining legal, social, and comparative studies. Ultimately, it's about how Indonesia's Consitutional Court can help make human rights practices better and more effective. As the highest judicial organ of a state, it is essential for the Constitutional Court to effectively and effectively implement the international human rights system as we know it in order to safeguard the interests of all stakeholders, especially in Indonesia.

Welcome to the second issue of Volume 32, Journal of Modern Languages (JML). Here, we present six scholarly works that reflect the diversity and depth of current linguistic research. In the opening paper, The Development of Paediatric Malay Matrix Sentence Test (PaedMalayMST) Materials through the Construction of a Paediatric Malay Corpus, a collaborative team from Malaysia and New Zealand introduces an innovative approach to the development of a paediatric speech perception test. The authors detail the process of constructing a paediatric Malay corpus, which unveils the rich and intricate nature of Malay children's language use. This work illustrates a remarkable path to the development of tests that can more accurately assess the speech perception skills of children in Malaysia. The second paper, Female Sympathisers of ISIS as Muhajirahs in ISIS-Affiliated Media investigates the representation of women in ISIS-affiliated media. Through a well-structured critical discourse analysis, the authors explore the complexity of gender roles and dynamics within a politically charged setting. This research provides valuable insights into the portrayal and influence of women within extremist organizations. Shifting to the realm of audio-visual translation, the article Subtitling Strategies and Translation Accuracy in the Malay to English Translation of ‘Ejen Ali: The Movie’, assesses the quality and strategies of subtitle translations. This work represents a significant step towards understanding how translation strategies affect the accuracy of subtitle translations, a crucial aspect of global media consumption. The subsequent study, Characteristics of Exocentric Nominal Compounds in Berom: A Semantic View of the Noun-Verb Agentive ‘mwat tabak’ and ‘mwat ha’, provides an in-depth analysis of the agentive nominal compounds in Berom. It illustrates how meaning is shaped by the constituents and the context of usage, serving as a fine example of the intricate interplay between structure and semantics in language. The fifth study, A Study of Number Marking in Izere Nouns, offers a detailed examination of noun inflections for number in Izere. It underscores the importance of understanding the morphological processes involved in less-studied languages. Finally, our issue concludes with Representation of Social Class and Hierarchy in Bangla Address Terms: A Sociolinguistic Study, which explores the sociocultural significance of address terms in Bangla. It sheds light on the various socio-cultural factors influencing address term choices, and consequently, the reflection of social class and hierarchy in language. Together, these six papers demonstrate the profound diversity in language and linguistics research. As always, we hope this issue inspires stimulating discourse and further scholarly inquiry in the field of languages and linguistics. We extend our gratitude to all our authors, reviewers, and readers who continue to support and enrich our journal.
TRAVERSING SONIC TERRITORIES (TST)
Authors: Søren Kjærgaard  , Torben Snekkestad
Published: October 2023

What happens when musicians improvising on acoustic instruments sample and exchange their sound libraries? How can such a transgression of sonic territories contribute to an expanded understanding of one’s own sonic identity? And could this b/lending of identities point to a more ambiguous yet vibrant field of intra-play? Departing from these questions, this project intends to challenge our idea of sonic identity as a personal subject-oriented entity, and consequently investigate how a collaborative sharing of sampled sounds, can contribute to an expanded understanding of the sounds we play and are played by. Individual idiomatic approaches to one’s own instrument are thus interfered as we transgress habitual boundaries for action possibilities and musical imagination. The practice circulates from the duo of Torben Snekkestad and Søren Kjærgaard toward external collaborators, where the sharing process involves different approaches to audio sampling and mapping, embedding and embodying, listening and playing with each other’s sonic material to a point where authorship, origin, instrument and sonic identity is diffracted.
Localized-wave interactions for an extended (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation in fluid mechanics
Authors: Shen Yuan , Tian Bo , Cheng Chong-Dong , Zhou Tian-Yu
Published: October 2023

Currently, there is much interest in the study on the localized waves
and their interactions in fluid mechanics. An extended (3+1)-dimensional
Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation in fluid mechanics is considered here.
By means of the Hirota method, we obtain the N-soliton solutions,
with N as a positive integer. The higher-order breather solutions
are obtained from the N-soliton solutions employing the complex
conjugated transformations. Making use of the long-wave limit method, we
determine the higher-order lump solutions from the N-soliton
solutions. Besides, some hybrid solutions are presented. Three kind of
the localized waves, namely, the solitons, breathers and lumps, along
with their interactions, are investigated via the above solutions.
Amplitudes, shapes and velocities of those localized waves remain
invariant after the interactions, which indicates the interactions are
elastic.
Human avoidance, selection for darkness and prey activity explain wolf diel activity in a highly cultivated landscape in West-Central Europe
Authors: Sunde Peter , Kjeldgaard Sofie , Mortensen Rasmus Mohr , Olsen Kent
Published: October 2023

Wolves and other wildlife species that share habitats with humans with
minor options for spatial avoidance must either tolerate frequent human
encounters, which may be lethal, or allocate their activity to those
periods of the day when the risk of encountering humans is smallest and
the consequences least severe. This may force wolves in densely
human-populated and cultivated landscapes to either become highly
nocturnally active or habituate to human stimuli. Based on 6,220 camera
trap images of adult wolves from eight territories in Denmark, we
analyzed the extent to which diel activity patterns in a wolf population
in a highly cultivated landscape with fragmented forests and extensive
public access could be explained from diel variation in darkness, human
activity, and prey (deer) activity. We found that diel activity
correlated with all three factors simultaneously with human activity
(negative) having the strongest total as well as partial effect,
followed by darkness (positive) and deer activity (positive). Relative
to a model that smoothed activity as a function of time of the day, the
three factors accounted for 94% of the explainable diel variation in
wolf activity. As most of the apparent selection for darkness could be
explained by temporal human avoidance, we suggest that nocturnality
(proportion of observations registered at night vs. day at equinox) is a
useful proxy for investment in temporal human avoidance. In this study,
wolf packs were 7.0 (95% CI: 5.0-9.7) times more active at night than
at daytime, which makes Danish wolves amongst the most nocturnally
active wolves reported so far. This result confirms the initial
prediction that wolves with few options for spatial avoidance, invest
heavily in temporal human avoidance.

Published: October 2023

This study addresses the lack of information about bleeding incidences,
location and risk factors in children admitted to hospital. The primary
objective of this study was to determine the incidence of bleeding in
children admitted to hospital. Methods: In a retrospective
observational cohort study, the first admittance of 13,842 children
(<18 years old) to Odense University Hospital from 2015-2020
was analyzed. Bleeding episodes and the anatomical location of bleeding
were identified in electronic health record (EHR) text using a
combination of artificial intelligence and manual validation. The study
determined cumulative bleeding incidence during admission with
Kaplan-Meier analysis and the anatomical locations of bleedings in
frequencies and numbers. Subgroup analyses included spontaneous and
major bleeding, and bleeding during intensive care unit (ICU) stay.
Results: Overall, 1869 children bled at admission and 1523
during admission. The most frequent locations of bleeding were
cutaneous, internal, and gastrointestinal, comprising 70% of episodes.
The cumulative incidence of bleeding during admission was 29.1% and
19.0% for any bleeding and spontaneous bleeding, respectively.
Spontaneous and major bleeding occurred in 794 (6.6%) and 174 (1.5%)
of children, and six bleedings contributed to death (all central nervous
system bleeds). Bleedings occurred in 36% admissions complicated with
ICU stay. Independent risk factors for bleeding were prematurity,
hematological cancer, infection, congenital anomalies, anticoagulants,
administration and ICU stay. Conclusions: The study found a
high incidence of bleeding in admitted children, and fatal bleeding
episodes were registered. Thus, bleeding risk shall be considered during
admission of children.
Different regulatory mechanisms of glucose absorption in mouse ileum and jejunum
Authors: Chu fenglan , Chen Xiongying , Wan Hanxing , Dong Hui , Xu Feng
Published: October 2023

Background and Purpose: Although glucose absorption in the proximal
small intestine and its regulatory mechanisms have been extensively
studied, the regulation of glucose absorption in the distal small
intestine is poorly understood. The present study investigates the
mechanisms and regulation of glucose absorption in the ileum and
compares with those in the jejunum. Experimental Approach:
Glucose-induced short circuit current in isolated mouse intestinal
epithelia was measured by the Ussing chamber. Key Results: Glucose
induced a more pronounced short circuit current in the ileum than in the
jejunum, exhibiting greater sensitivity to Na+ - glucose transporter
inhibitors. The extracellular Ca2+ and endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+
storage in the ileum did not regulate glucose transport like the jejunum
did. Blockers of Ca2+ and K+ channels did not significantly alter
glucose-induced current in the ileum. Inhibition of Na+ - Ca2+ exchange
and Na+ - H+ exchange reduced ileal glucose-induced current. Moreover,
5-HT reduced ileal glucose-induced current, which could be restored by
selective inhibitors of 5-HT4R, adenyl cyclase and protein kinase A.
Conclusion and Implications: The ileum has more pronounced glucose
absorption, and its regulatory mechanisms significantly differ from
those in the jejunum. Na+ - Ca2+ exchange and Na+ - H+ exchange regulate
ileal glucose absorption, whereas 5-HT inhibits it via the 5-HT4R-cAMP-
protein kinase A pathway.

Werner von Hausen and Emile Bernard
Authors: Gutman Laura
Published: October 2023

Werner von Hausen met Emile Bernard in Cairo in 1895, in Laren (Netherlands) in 1906, and again in Paris in 1906–1908. Evidence of these encounters is found in portraits, press articles and in the artists’ correspondence. These scattered fragments contain hitherto unknown biographical elements and make it possible to reconstruct a major influence on the artistic production and thought of the Finnish painter. Werner von Hausen thus turns out to be a protagonist of Antimodernism in Finland, a classical painter and author of memoirs, reviews and a manifesto defending a vision of art that did not conform to the expectations of his time.

Authors: Lubis Arif Husein , Triarisanti Risa , Samsudin Didin , Ansas Velayeti Nurfitriana
Published: October 2023

The ubiquitous presence of mobile devices has benefited the implementation of foreign language learning through Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL). Previous research highlights the portability aspect of mobile devices such as smartphones that can lead to spontaneous, flexible, and personalized learning activities. However, challenges remain; particularly the connectivity issues. The present study seeks to continue the discussion by investigating 79 Indonesian undergraduate students’ experiences and perceptions of MALL in their Korean language classes. The data were obtained by distributing a questionnaire to the students. The validity and reliability coefficients were also measured. Interview sessions were conducted afterward with eleven students to dig for further explanations. The results demonstrate that most students used smartphones for sending messages to peers, checking notifications, accessing materials, submitting their work, and sending messages to lecturers. Regarding the applications used, they frequently utilized smartphones for accessing Google Classroom, Zoom, and WhatsApp during their Korean classes. The results also revealed that while they perceived MALL as useful and flexible for learning Korean toward increased language skills, motivation, autonomy, and critical thinking, technical problems, and connectivity issues remain to be the main challenges. This study discusses some concerns in implementing MALL and its implications for future research.

Participative Leadership and Employee Job Satisfaction: The Mediating Effects of Psychological Empowerment and Work Engagement
Authors: Fatoki Olawale
Published: October 2023

The study examines the relationship between participative leadership (PAL) and employee job satisfaction in small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs). In addition, the study investigates whether psychological empowerment and work engagement can mediate the relationship between PAL and job satisfaction. The quantitative research design is adopted for the study and the cross-sectional survey method is used for data collection. The hypotheses of the study are tested using the partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS SEM). The results of the empirical study indicate that PAL is positively related to job satisfaction. The mediating effects of psychological empowerment and work engagement are significant. Theoretically, the study develops a unique model that shows that both psychological empowerment and work engagement are mechanisms through which PAL can affect job satisfaction. Practically, the study recommends that owners/managers of small firms should attend training on leadership.
Playing with social relationships. Their role among actors in the video game industry
Authors: Czernek-Marszałek Katarzyna , Klimas Patrycja , Wójcik Dagmara
Published: October 2023

Purpose

This paper focuses on social (informal, interpersonal) relationships and identifies their positive effects on business activity in – a rarely empirically analyzed – the video game industry.

Methodology

Given the lack of previous research on the positive business effects of social relationships in the chosen empirical context, qualitative and explorative research was conducted. To address the research goals, seventeen semi-structured in-depth interviews and one focus group interview with six video game developers were carried out. The interviews were analyzed using inductive coding procedure.

Findings

The key contributions are as follows: (1) specific industry characteristics determine the relevance of social relationships for business activity; (2) among the key actors maintaining such relationships are: consumers (i.e., gamers), business partners (investors, contractors, and co-operators), employees (past and current), and competitors; (3) industry-specific social relationships benefits are identified by comparing them with the general social relationships benefits indicated in the literature, detailing them in the chosen empirical context, and addressing the type of actors with which social links are exploited.

Practical implications

Game developers can realize with whom to maintain social relations within video game industry to generate particular business benefits, for example, better promotion and higher game sales, building a proper firm’s image.

Originality

The identification of actors of social relationships diverse in terms of establishing and intentional usage of social relationships, the recognition of the specific business-related benefits of maintaining social relationships by video game developers, and providing empirical evidence of the industry-wide determinants of the benefits of maintaining social relationships.
The use of plant extracts and bacteriophages as an alternative therapy approach in combatting bacterial infections: the study of lytic phages and Stevia rebaudiana
Authors: Stachurska Xymena , Mizielińska Małgorzata , Ordon Magdalena , Nawrotek Paweł
Published: October 2023

Introduction

In the light of the problem of antibiotic resistance, the use of combined alternative therapies in combatting bacteria-related disorders has gained popularity. Bacteriophages are one element implemented in new combination therapy. Stevia rebaudiana is known to have antimicrobial activity and regarded as potentially having a synergistic effect with bacteriophages. Therefore, possible interactions of lytic bacteriophages (MS2, T4 and Phi6) with acetone and methanol S. rebaudiana extracts (SRa and SRm) in the bacterial environment were examined.

Material and Methods

The interactions were tested using a microdilution method, phage-extract co-incubation assay, static interaction (synography) and dynamic growth profile experiments in a bioreactor.

Results

The interactions of the tested factors in a static environment differed from those in a dynamic environment. Dynamic conditions altered the effect of the extracts in a concentration-dependent manner. How different the effect of the SRa extract was to that of the SRm extract on bacterial growth in a dynamic environment depended on the species of the phage and bacterial host. The greatest differences were observed for E. coli strains and their phages, whereas Pseudomonas syringae and the Phi6 phage reacted very similarly to both extracts. Differences also emerged for the same extract in different E. coli strains and their phages.

Conclusion

Every extract type should be tested on a case-by-case basis and experiment outcomes should not be generalised before gathering data. Moreover, many varied experiments should be performed, especially when examining such multifactorial mixtures. The tested mixtures could potentially be used in multidrug-resistant bacterial infection treatments.
Brief considerations about the perspectives of the Romanian legal and judicial space
Authors: BĂDESCU Valentin-Stelian
Published: October 2023

To prevent misunderstandings, I confess that I felt it a civic duty to call things by their names. I always will. If we are still given to live, at least let us do it with dignity and cleanliness. In this capacity, I testify that many of the current problems of the Romanian judicial and legal space, basically of our justice system, can be solved through a pragmatic approach to a segment of our justice system, that of social justice, since the traumas and abuses committed by the state authorities, with attributions in the field, have affected the human security of citizens, with the immediate consequence of affecting/altering the rule of law. The rule of law is that which is based, in essence, on the supremacy of the law, and not on the discretionary power of some leaders, regardless of the name they bear - presidents, heads of state, kings, princes, etc. -, and within which the recognition of democratic values and the promotion and defence of citizens' rights constitute a major objective.

A common feature of dominant digital platforms is that they are integrated into a plurality of business lines, including the markets they organise or connect, so that they operate a platform and market their own goods and services on it. This dual role played by platforms in various digital markets, acting simultaneously as intermediaries and providers, has raised fears that it may be exploited by platforms to further entrench their dominance, frustrate competition and stifle innovation. Despite the introduction of novel terms, such as self-preferencing, we are actually facing a classic conflict of interest that can be addressed from different branches of the legal system.
Deveres de Informação e Proteção do Consumidor
Authors: Trindade Marinho Jorge Gabriel
Published: October 2023

Na sociedade contemporânea, em que as pessoas surgem, diariamente, em múltiplas situações da vida, sob as vestes de consumidores, o legislador procurou garantir a sua proteção através dos deveres pré-contratuais de informação. Este pilar da informação tornou-se no guardião do consumidor, tendo em vista um reequilíbrio da sua posição contratual face aos fornecedores e reposicionamento do lugar que ocupam no mercado. O consumidor surge encurralado por gigantes: à sua volta, avolumam-se os produtos e serviços disponíveis, as ofertas e propostas, os meios de contratação, os fornecedores..., mas também os próprios deveres pré-contratuais de informação, que surgem dispostos em extensas listas. Por esta razão, este paradigma revela debilidades e insuficiências que levam a um crescente número de críticas e ao avanço de mecanismos que visam corrigi-lo ou até mesmo substituí-lo. E, assim, ergue-se o objeto deste estudo, com a constatação do papel que a informação desempenha no Direito do Consumo, a sua evolução em torno da profusão de longas listas de deveres pré-contratuais de informação, que levam à ineficácia de proteção de um consumidor que nada lê e estudo da consequente apresentação de alternativas.

Background: This study aims to assess the knowledge, confidence, and ability of senior dental students and interns to understand and interpret CBCT images at Taibah University, College of Dentistry, Al-Madinah Al Munawara, Saudi Arabia.

Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was conducted using an online-based self-administrated questionnaire consisting of 31 close-ended questions. It was divided into four sections dealing with demographic data, awareness and perception of CBCT, knowledge and attitude towards the CBCT, and level of interpretation and understanding of CBCT images.

Results: The study group comprised 79 participants. Most participants were males and dental interns, 55.7% and 51.9%, respectively. 73.4% recommended using CBCT; however, 89.9% need guidance for its Implementation. The responses highlighted low to moderate levels of knowledge and usefulness about CBCT and its importance in dentistry. However, 30.4% recommend using CBCT, while only 39.2% feel confident interpreting CBCT images.

Conclusion: The present study revealed a need to enhance the awareness and knowledge of CBCT applications in the dental field among dental students and interns. Proper diagnosis of oral health-related diseases and employment of detailed diagnostic tools such as CBCT is essential for better treatment outcomes and could influence good prognosis. Hence, further efforts should be made to increase the knowledge and awareness of CBCT modalities and their interpretations.

Understanding culture in the life of higher education organisations is a challenge. Information science and other higher-level organisational products present scientific facts, research knowledge, and the organisational culture that produces those products. This study analyses the organisational culture of higher education communication on the website as one of the organisational artefacts that can be seen and accessed by the public. This study uses quantitative content analysis that refers to the dimensions and sub-dimensions of organisational culture developed by Overbeeke and Snizek. The universities were selected based on their Public Relations Indonesia Award 2022 awards in the Digital Channel category with website subcategories: the University of Indonesia, Gadjah Mada University, and IPB University. Based on the findings, these universities convey almost all dimensions of organisational culture through their websites. This study identifies five main dimensions of organisational culture and 23 sub-dimensions that serve as measurement tools. These 23 sub-dimension measures of organisational culture were then used to analyse visually and textually the organisational culture of the three universities studied. The research found that out of the 23 measures, only two were not found on the three university websites studied, namely the mention of the founder of the Institute and the presence of advertisements on the website. The lack of those two measures is understandable because the three universities were historically founded by the Government of Indonesia, not individuals. Furthermore, as educational institutions, those three are not commercial companies that sell products, so there is no display of product advertisements on their websites.
