Examining sentiment is a cycle to recognize the assessment of a text. Individual’s write reviews in web-based media referencing their understanding related to an occasion and are likewise intrigued to know other’s insight on a similar occasion. This categorization can be accomplished utilizing SA. SA extracts structure less text reviews related to an item surveys, an occasion, and so on, from all reviews written by various clients and groups the reviews into various classifications as one or the other positive or negative or impartial assessment. This is otherwise called polarity classification. Individuals these days use emojis in their content progressively to communicate their emotions or reiterate their words. Prior AI methods just include the order of text, emojis or pictures exclusively where emojis with text have consistently been dismissed, accordingly overlooked heaps of feelings. This exploration proposed a calculation and strategy for estimation examination utilizing both text and emojis. In this work, information was investigated utilizing deep learning calculation to find sentiments from tweets utilizing a few highlights like Term frequency inverse document frequency, emoji vocabularies, N-gram and Bag of words.

A Systematic Review of Factors Influencing Digital Transformation of SMEs
Authors: Et. al. Mo Bin, Guo Hui,
Published: January 2024

With the development of Information and communication technology in recent years, digital transformation and technology adoption have become crucial factors for small and medium business sustainability (SMEs). Though large multinational companies are well advanced in the early adoption of digital technologies, SMEs are relatively slow in adopting new technologies for various reasons. However, they are either in the early majority or in the late majority stage of the technology adoption life cycle. Such digital transformation of SMEs is significantly different from the large multinational enterprises due to various internal-external, micro-macro, and socio-economic factors. The researcher's view also broadly differs. Hence, understanding the factors influencing the SMEs' digital transformation is crucial in strategic decision making of digital companies, developing digital policies, and free trade agreements of International trade in services by Nations. Therefore, this study presents a systematic review of research conducted in the past 20 years and identifies the factors influencing SMEs' digital transformation. One hundred seventy-eight research articles published in academic databases of SCOPUS and Web of Science were identified and reviewed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach. Managerial implications and further research directions in this domain were recommended from the research findings.

Published: January 2024

21st century learning requires students to be equipped with learning skills, knowledge, media literacy and also life skills. In order to achieve these skills, the school curriculum embeds the use of technological tools and strategies to provide teaching and learning strategies for learners, including students with special needs or Special Needs Students (SNS). Studies found that students struggle to cope with their studies in the digital learning environment due to their limited digital literacy skills. Digital Literacy skills are essential to develop as independent learners in the digital age. Previous studies have shown that digital literacy skills have demonstrated a positive influence on student performance. However, limited studies have been conducted on the issue. This paper aims to discuss the concept of digital literacy skills to support teaching and learning strategies for SNS in Malaysia from teachers’ perspectives. The digital literacy skills model consists of cognitive skills, technology and ethics as basic guidelines to explore digital literacy teaching and learning strategies for SNS. This concept has been tested as a preliminary study in a course by interview with five teachers who taught a Desktop Publishing among SNS. From the findings, it was shown that the digital literacy skills model is able to improve the teaching and learning strategies needed for SNS in the digital environment.

Autoria, personalidade e propriedade: as contribuições de Kant e Fichte para o direito moderno de autor
Authors: Sousa Alves Marco Antônio
Published: January 2024

Este artigo pretende investigar o debate alemão sobre o direito de autor, do final do século XVIII, com o objetivo de mostrar sua importância na fundamentação filosófica desse direito e, especialmente, na conformação de seu aspecto moral ou pessoal. Pretendemos, assim, complementar a narrativa histórica mais comum nessa área, centrada basicamente nas origens inglesas e francesas desse instituto. Neste estudo, privilegiaremos as contribuições de dois grandes filósofos da época: Kant e Fichte. Por vias distintas, cada um condenou, ao seu modo, a "pirataria", mas sem deixar de apontar para o caráter inapropriado ou sui generis da noção de propriedade intelectual. Mostraremos ainda como ambos conferiram aos autores um direito personalíssimo, que não pode ser colocado no comércio e não se confunde com o direito detido pelos editores. Argumentaremos, por fim, que a discussão sobre o direito dos autores pode ser inserida em um pano de fundo mais amplo, em um debate propriamente filosófico de natureza antropológica, estética e moral, sobre a criação humana e a noção de pessoa, no seio do vasto processo de construção de uma subjetividade tipicamente moderna.Palavras-chave: Direito de autor, Kant, Fichte, personalidade; propriedade intelectual; Alemanha.This article aims to investigate the German debate on authors' rights at the end of the eighteenth century, showing its importance for the philosophical foundation of this right and, especially, in shaping its moral or personal aspect. We intend, therefore, to complement the most common historical narrative, basically centered on the English and French origins of this institute. In this study, we will highlight the contributions of two great philosophers of that time: Kant and Fichte. In different ways, each one condemned "piracy", but without ceasing to point to the inadequacy or the sui generis character of the notion of intellectual property. We will also show how the two thinkers gave authors a strictly personal right, which cannot be placed on the market and should not be confused with the rights held by the publishers. Finally, we will argue that the discussion about authors' rights can be inserted in a broader context, in a properly philosophical debate, with an anthropological, aesthetic, and moral nature, about human creation and the notion of person, within the wide construction process of modern subjectivity.Keywords: Authors' Rights; Kant; Fichte; personality; intellectual property; Germany.
A necessidade de novos discursos teóricos frente à crise do Estado Social
Authors: Copelli Giancarlo Montagner , Morais Jose Luis Bolzan
Published: January 2024

Resumo: O arranjo político-jurídico denominado Estado Liberal Social, ou seja, o modelo de ideário democrático, consolidado no pós-Guerra, é aquele em que os indivíduos são detentores de direitos alcançados mediante a ação estatal, voltados às questões de igualdade no que se refere a situações econômicas e sociais, indo além dos direitos civis e políticos típicos do Estado Liberal Clássico. De caráter prestacional, o Estado Liberal Social é, portanto, intimamente ligado às políticas públicas. Ocorre, entretanto, que tal modelo, enquanto sequência do projeto liberal, encontra-se em crise, seja ela de viés fiscal-financeiro, ideológico ou filosófico, acenando para uma espécie de limite tanto à formulação quanto à execução de políticas públicas por meio do Estado. Adotando essa perspectiva, parece necessário o pensar em novas possibilidades de arranjo, capazes de ir além dos limites impostos pela própria contemporaneidade, como condição de possibilidade para facultar a satisfação das garantias constitucionais de ordem social, sobretudo em países de modernidade tardia, como o Brasil. Para esta pesquisa, a metodologia empregada terá como abordagem o método fenomenológico. O método de procedimento aqui escolhido é o histórico.Palavras-chave: Estado Social, crise, alternativa.Abstract: The political-legal arrangement called the Liberal Social State, that is, the model of democratic ideology, consolidated in the post-war period, is one in which individuals are holders of rights achieved through state action, focused on issues of equality with regard to economic and social situations, going beyond the civil and political rights typical of the Classic Liberal State. Therefore, the Social Liberal State is therefore closely linked to public policies. It happens, however, that such a model, as a sequence of the liberal project, is in crisis, be it of fiscal-financial, ideological or philosophical bias, pointing to a kind of limit both to the formulation and to the execution of public policies through the State. Adopting this perspective, it seems necessary to think about new possibilities of arrangement, capable of going beyond the limits imposed by contemporary times, as a condition of possibility to provide the satisfaction of constitutional guarantees of social order, especially in countries of late modernity, such as Brazil. For this research, the methodology employed will be approached by the phenomenological method. The method of procedure chosen here is history.Keywords: Social State, crisis, alternative.
Horizontal and Vertical Ground-Motion Duration Prediction Models from Interplate and Intermediate-Depth Intraslab Earthquakes in Mexico City
Authors: Jaimes Miguel A. , García-Soto Adrián D. , Candia Gabriel
Published: January 2024

In this study, we present predictive models for significant ground-motion duration from interplate and intermediate-depth intraslab earthquakes at Mexico City for the horizontal components, the vertical component, and the vertical-to-horizontal ratio case. The considered sites are located over several zones in Mexico City, from rock to soft-soil sites. For the ground-motion duration models, the significant durations for ranges between 5% and 75%, 5% and 95%, and 2.5% and 97.5% of Arias intensity are considered for the analyses. The equations were developed as functions of magnitude, distance of the earthquake, and site period using 16 and 23 event recordings from interplate and intermediate-depth intraslab earthquakes at the hill, transition, and lakebed zones of the city using mixed-effect regression analyses. For the intraslab events, in particular, the new database includes recordings from two significant normal-faulting events that occurred in 2017. The models lead to differences with respect to the previous models. Therefore, predictive models for both considered focal mechanisms are proposed. The model is valid for interplate events at distances from 280 to 500 km and magnitude Mw from 6 to 8.1, for intraslab events at distances of 100 km up to about 650 km, magnitude Mw from 5 to 8.2, and focal depths from 40 km to over 120 km.
Practical Aspects of Physics-Informed Neural Networks Applied to Solve Frequency-Domain Acoustic Wave Forward Problem
Authors: Chai Xintao , Gu Zhiyuan , Long Hang , Liu Shaoyong , Cao Wenjun , Sun Xiaodong
Published: January 2024

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have been used by researchers to solve partial differential equation (PDE)-constrained problems. We evaluate PINNs to solve for frequency-domain acoustic wavefields. PINNs can solely use PDEs to define the loss function for optimization without the need for labels. Partial derivatives of PDEs are calculated by mesh-free automatic differentiations. Thus, PINNs are free of numerical dispersion artifacts. It has been applied to the scattered acoustic wave equation, which relied on boundary conditions (BCs) provided by the background analytical wavefield. For a more direct implementation, we solve the nonscattered acoustic wave equation, avoiding limitations related to relying on the background homogeneous medium for BCs. Experiments support our following insights. Although solving time-domain wave equations using PINNs does not require absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs), ABCs are required to ensure a unique solution for PINNs that solve frequency-domain wave equations, because the single-frequency wavefield is not localized and contains wavefield information over the full domain. However, it is not trivial to include the ABC in the PINN implementation, so we develop an adaptive amplitude-scaled and phase-shifted sine activation function, which performs better than the previous implementations. Because there are only two outputs for the fully connected neural network (FCNN), we validate a linearly shrinking FCNN that can achieve a comparable and even better accuracy with a cheaper computational cost. However, there is a spectral bias problem, that is, PINNs learn low-frequency wavefields far more easily than higher frequencies, and the accuracy of higher frequency wavefields is often poor. Because the shapes of multifrequency wavefields are similar, we initialize the FCNN for higher frequency wavefields by that of the lower frequencies, partly mitigating the spectral bias problem. We further incorporate multiscale positional encoding to alleviate the spectral bias problem. We share our codes, data, and results via a public repository.

Authors: Reyes Barrios Sergio Augusto , Ponce Yactayo Dora Lourdes
Published: January 2024

Por la naturaleza de las jornadas laborales, los colaboradores pasan varias horas en sus espacios de trabajo. En función de ello, se establecen vínculos de comunicación y se fomentan relaciones de amistad, donde el intercambio de opiniones es necesario en ambientes de trabajo adecuados. En este sentido, la investigación se traza como objetivo establecer la relación entre el estrés laboral y el clima organizacional. El estudio se desarrolló siguiendo los procesos del enfoque cuantitativo, tipo de investigación básica con alcance descriptivo y correlacional, diseño no experimental con corte transversal. La técnica empleada fue la encuesta e instrumentos válidos y confiables con sustento en teorías que en la actualidad son vigentes, la teoría de Maslach & Jackson (1981) para el estrés laboral y de Litwin & Stringer (1968) para el clima laboral. Se encontraron hallazgos desde lo descriptivo e inferencial, según los niveles de cada variable. Los resultados inferenciales indicaron la presencia de una relación inversa y significativa, es decir a menor estrés laboral mejor es el clima organizacional de los colaboradores. El clima organizacional y el estrés están estrechamente relacionados. Si la organización ofrece condiciones que generan insatisfacción, el clima organizacional será negativo y esto se refleja en empleados estresados.

Published: January 2024

Background: Immunologic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is considered as one of the common diseases among children. The aim of this study is evaluating the treatment indices of ITP in pediatric patients.
Materials and Methods: In this observational follow-up study, 123 ITP patients were assessed in term of medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests based on the type of treatment.
Results: Among 123 ITP patients, 70 (56.9%) were female and 53 (43.1%) were male with mean age of 4 years. Considering the platelet count of > 20,000, 115 (93.6%), 4 (3.3%) were treated in less than a month (acute) and 1-6 months (sub-acute). Thirty two patients (26%) did not reach the normal platelet count in 6 months (chronic). IVG, steroid, RhoGAM, steroid+ IVIG, RhoGAM + IVIG, RhoGAM+steroid+IVIG therapy was done in 10.6, 15.4, 2.4, 41.5, 4.1, and 26, respectively. Three patients did not receive any medication. There was no significant relationship between the onset of clinical symptoms and the onset of treatment based on 20,000 platelet count; however, regarding the platelet count of 150000, the relationship was statistically significant. The frequency of ITP was higher in females. There was no report on Intra-cerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In addition, 11 patients (8.9%) were provided with splenectomy. The treatment with combinational therapy of RhoGAM and IVIG was regarded as the highest treatment rate. In addition, the highest length of hospotalization based on initial treatment belonged to steroid treatment followed by the combinational therapy of steroid and IVIG. The patients receiving IVIG were the ones with the highest cost for the first 24 hours of treatment, and regarding the later hospitalization, the patients treated with steroid and combinational therapy of steroid+IVIG had to pay the highest medical expenses.
Conclusion: No significant relationship between the symptoms, platelet count, and the type of treatment.

Authors:   Global Studeis Education Association, Lee Ji Hye
Published: January 2024

This study aims to practice international exchange classes between Korea and Singapore using the metaverse and to seek the meaning of learning and encounters in the metaverse space. As a result of the elements of the metaverse to the autonomous cooperative learning model, discussion between learners on topic research and presentation methods was more emphasized than in conventional classes. Since the introduction of data in the metaverse is mainly done in the form of web postings, effective information delivery strategies that take this into account have been discussed a lot. In addition, since the entire learning- sub-topic- mini-subject learning spaces are separated and connected, communication between group members was greatly required to create a harmonious space composition with overall learning while maintaining the individuality of the subject selected by the learner. As a result of class execution, in terms of learning, the strengthening of learning accountability due to the occupation of learning space, the creation of a two-sided space of connection and exclusion, and the autonomy of learning between exploration and wandering were meaningfully observed. As for the dimension of meeting, it was possible to confirm the aspects of hospitality experienced as hosts and guests and the new ideas of hospitality discovered by the learners.

Published: January 2024

In order to analyze the policy trends and practices of ESD in Korea, this study analyzed related data focusing on five priority action areas proposed by UNESCO: policy improvement, learning environment, educator capacity building, youth participation opportunities, and community capacity building. Based on the analysis, the study suggested the policy implications for the spread and activation of ESD. First, it is necessary to move beyond the stage of establishing an initial system for ESD to the stage of internalizing sustainable capabilities by establishing a diagnostic system for learners and institutions. Second, in addition to ESD programs focused on climate and environmental education, programs on various contents and practices for the co-prosperity of the human community, such as human rights, citizenship, equality, social justice, healthy consumption and production, should be expanded in the future. Third, beyond delivering the concept and content of ESD through educational curriculum or training, the principle of sustainability should be institutionalized throughout the operational process of educational organizations. Finally, in order to connect ESD and community life, teaching and learning models for ESD should be specified in schools, and clear methods and guidelines for incorporating ESD in lifelong education should be prepared.

The objective of this research is to develop a mathematical procedure to construct a Hijri calendar that is consistent with the Gregorian calendar. Our hypothesis was derived from the Quran Chapter, Alkahf verse (25), which states “They remained in their cave for three hundred years, adding nine”. We understand this verse to mean “every 300 solar years equivalent exactly to 309 lunar years”. The starting point was to locate the number of days for each month of each Hijri year. We found that the distribution of number of days per month coincided in the two rounds of the 309 Hijri years. Accordingly, we prepared a list of number of days per month for 1545 Hijri years. Hence, we constructed Hijri calendar starting consecutively from 1 Muharram 1AH to any Hijri Date. We considered the Gregorian Date consistent with the first of Ramadan 1442AH as a relevant reference versus the historical reference of the migration of Prophet Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم to Medina. Finally, we compared our results with previous official dates Therefore any Gregorian date corresponds to Hijri date could be known.

This study aimed to explore the correlation among AR-based learning effectiveness (ARLE), AR learning beliefs (ARLB), creative learning self-efficacy (CLS), and AR learning motivation (ARLM) of tertiary students in Taiwan. Participants had 378 tertiary students who from 15 school, and used path analysis model of the structural equation model (SEM) based on the questionnaire survey. The results show that there is a significant positive correlation between the AR Learning Beliefs (ARLB) and AR Learning Motivation (ARLM) of tertiary student. It is found that higher correlation between ARLB, ARLM and Creative Learning Self-Efficacy (CLS). There was a significant positive correlation between ARLE and ARLB, and can effectively explain ARLE. This study confirms that CLS is an important factor and an impact mediating factor between ARLB and ARLM. In addition, CLS can also influence ARLE through ARLM.

Chronic wounds are challenging for healthcare because they are difficult to treat and cannot heal by themselves. Active compounds that can accelerate wound healing are, therefore, necessary. Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors are antihyperglycemic drugs widely used in patients with type 2 diabetes that not only maintain the homeostasis of blood sugar levels but have also been shown to promote chronic wound healing. In this study, we formulated a topical gel containing, sitagliptin, a commonly used DPP-4 inhibitor drug to treat diabetes, using Carbopol 940 as a base due to its high viscosity and biocompatibility. The characteristics of the sitagliptin gel, including its physical appearance, viscoelastic properties, swelling and degradation, and stability, were investigated. The gel appeared to be transparent with a uniform distribution of drug molecules and was stable at 4 °C for more than 1 month. Moreover, the gel was shown to exhibit shear thinning pseudoplastic behavior, which is desirable for topical gels. The gel could absorb up to 250% of liquid within 2 days but later degraded in aqueous solution following zeroth-order kinetics. In the in vitro release study, the cumulative release data were best fitted with the first order kinetic model, in which the release rate depended on the concentration. To further demonstrate the use of the DPP-4 inhibitor gel, the gel was applied directly onto subcutaneous wounds on experimental pigs. The topical gel was shown to exhibit the desired spread ability without causing any inflammation around the wound area which was comparable to IntraSite® gel and commercial silver nanoparticle cream.

Yogyakarta urban area has increased significantly for the past ten years and altered ecological features, such as inducing urban heat island (UHI). Our objectives are examining UHI characteristics in Yogyakarta urban with atmospheric variables which include air temperature and relative humidity and analyzing the UHI distribution using the LCZ method. This study uses the LCZ classification to spatially compare thermal characteristic and explain how land use and building geometry affect UHI. The system comprises 17 standard classes at the local scale, using quantitative approach which includes numerical data, such as aspect ratio, building heights, and street canyons to support the classification system. Three LCZ classes found in Yogyakarta urban area are LCZ 3, LCZ 5, and LCZ 6. The LCZ variables which affect temperature and relative humidity are building heights, width of street canyons, and land use. The biggest thermal difference is ΔLCZ3-LCZ5 and ΔLCZ3-LCZ6, which happened during 08.00 – 12.00 and 16.00 – 20.00. Small UHI magnitude (< 2K) is affected by small difference in morphology and fabric. Medium UHI magnitude (2 – 5K) is mostly caused by large difference in fabric and small difference in morphology. In the future, the LCZ should be widely applied for urban planning regarding climatic mitigation.

The prevalence of overnutrition in Indonesia is increasing from year to year. Overnutrition occurs because of an imbalance between consumed and expended energy. Overnutrition needs a serious attention because it deals with a variety of health problem complications in adult, such as diabetes and heart disease. This research aims to analyze the association between the amount of pocket money and breakfast habit with overnutrition status in elementary school children. Analytical observational research with cross sectional design was conducted in SDN Ploso I-172 Tambaksari Surabaya. The sample size was 52, which was taken by using simple random sampling technique in 4th and 5th grade students. Association among variables were analyzed using Chi-Square test. The result showed that 32.7% of respondents skip breakfast. The mean of respondent’s pocket money was IDR 5.894,23 ± 3.215,06. Majority of respondents were obese (34.6%) and overweight (28.8%). Chi-Square test showed there was an association between the amount of pocket money (p=0.000) and breakfast habits (p=0.005) with overnutrition status. It can be concluded that the amount of pocket money and breakfast skipping habit contribute to overnutrition status in elementary school children. Parents are responsible for providing foods with adequate nutrition for children, habituate children to have breakfast at home, and provide pocket money to children with amount less than IDR 5.894,23 ± 3.215,06.Keywords: breakfast, overnutrition status, pocket money

Overweight and obesity can occur at any stages in life, one of them is in primary schoolchildren. Prevalence of overnutrition in schoolchildren rise about 10,85% from 2007 until 2013. This problem not only occurs in urban but also in rural areas. One of the factor is imbalance energy intake and physical activity. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between energy intake and physical activity with z-score of BMI for age among primary schoolchildren in rural area of Penebel Tabanan district. This study was an observational analytic with cross sectional design with total 52 schoolchildren. Sample was taken by multistage random sampling. Data was collected by measuring weight and height, 2x24 hours food recall, and PAQ-C. Data was analyzed using Pearson Correlation test. The result showed that there was a correlation between energy intake (p=0.003) and physical activity (p=0.003) with overnutrition. The conclusion of this study is that both intake of energy and physical activity have correlation to z-score of BMI for age in primary schoolchildren in rural area. The school need to provide nutrition education to increase knowledge of student about nutrition and also the guidance to parents regarding limiting the time for watching television and exercise regularly.Keywords: energy intake, overnutrition, physical activity, rural area
