El cambio climático, la incertidumbre y sus expertos
Authors: Ramos Torre Ramón , Callejo Gallego Javier , Francescutti Pablo P.
Published: November 2024

Este trabajo aborda la incertidumbre, foco central del actual debate epistemológico, en una triple concreción sociológica. En primer lugar, concreción temática: la incertidumbre en el ámbito del cambio climático (CC, en adelante). En segundo lugar, se fija en actores concretos: expertos en ese ámbito. Y tercero: concreta una observación empírica, con entrevistas a expertos españoles en CC. Se asume una perspectiva emic, atenta al habla de los expertos sobre sentido, localización y gestión de la incertidumbre climática. Como recoge la sucesión de los distintos informes del IPCC, la incertidumbre ha sido y es asunto central de reflexión en el estudio del CC. Dado que son los expertos los que la definen, clasifican, miden y comunican al resto de la ciudadanía, su estudio debe pasar necesariamente por la indagación de su peculiar relación con la heterogénea comunidad de los expertos. Tras dar cuenta de la relevancia dada a la incertidumbre en los informes del IPCC, se propone una reconstrucción selectiva del debate sobre la experticia y la incertidumbre, presentando algunos resultados de las indagaciones sobre el tema en España, para centrar después la atención en el análisis de las evidencias aportadas por una investigación cualitativa, concluyendo con los principales resultados alcanzados. 
Uncertainty is one of the central issues in the current epistemological debate. This paper proposes to approach it within the framework of a triple sociological concretion. First, a thematic concretion: uncertainty in the field of climate change. Second, it focuses on specific actors: experts in the field of climate change. And third, it is based on an empirical sociological observation of qualitative interviews with a significant sample of Spanish climate change experts. Thus, an emic perspective is adopted, paying attention to what the experts say about the meaning, location, and management of uncertainty. Uncertainty has been and continues to be a central topic of reflection in the study of climate change, as shown by the succession of different IPCC reports. Since it is the experts who define, classify, measure, and communicate the uncertainty of climate change to the rest of the citizens, its study must necessarily include the observation of the peculiar relationship with the heterogeneous community of experts. This work aims to make a contribution in this respect. After an account of the importance given to uncertainty in the IPCC reports, it proposes a selective reconstruction of the debate on expertise and uncertainty, presenting some of the results of research on the subject in Spain, to then focus attention on the analysis of the evidence provided by recent qualitative research, and to end with some conclusions that identify the main results obtained.

Published: November 2024

The main driver of the Indian economy is agriculture. Its contribution to the GDP sector is 17.9%, based on current statistics. Plant growth is significantly influenced by nutrients. Plant development and crop productivity are negatively impacted by nutritional deficiencies. Using machine learning and deep learning, this little research investigates a novel approach to identifying nutritional deficits in plants. The method uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to examine plant leaf photos and detect indications of several nutrient deficits, including those related to potassium, phosphate, and nitrogen, in addition to healthy samples.The proposed model’s remarkable accuracy in identifying the plants’ nutritional statuses suggests that it could be useful for real time agricultural monitoring.

Food Safety Knowledge and Practice in the Era of Dark Kitchens
Authors: Pudaruth Chitika , Biranjia-Hurdoyal Susheela
Published: November 2024

Online ordering and food product sales are well-tolerated in many countries. Post-COVID-19, the business of online food purchases has soared, and many home-based suppliers (dark kitchens) have become part of this endeavor. This practice could impact the quality and safety of the food products with the risk of adverse effects on human health arising from food-borne illnesses and spoilage. The knowledge and practice of a random sample of Mauritians on the quality and safety of locally produced processed food items was investigated. Factors that could influence the purchase of dark kitchens were also studied. Data was collected from 258 participants through a survey questionnaire in March 2022. Up to 99.2 % reported that food suppliers should adhere to hazard analysis critical control points and international standard operation to guarantee quality. The study indicated that 45% of the respondents purchased from dark kitchens. Inadequate scores for both knowledge and practice were noted. The correlation between knowledge and practice was moderate (τ = 0.088; p = 0.00). Furthermore, it was observed that dark kitchen' purchases were motivated by easy accessibility, food quality, and low prices. Food labels were reported as an important characteristic of food products in general. However, in practice, only 31% reported labels and 27.1% reported the site of preparation as an important factor when they decide on the site of purchase.  The participants were aware of hygienic practices, the impact of unsafe food on their health and the importance of food standards. Yet, purchases from unchecked sources remain prominent. By fostering awareness and understanding, behavioral changes among individuals could be investigated, contributing to an overall improvement in public health and preventing food-related illnesses.

Code Mixing Between Indonesian and English in The Website “Female Daily Review”
Authors: Fitria Tira Nur
Published: November 2024

This research describes the code-mixing found in the website “Female Daily Review”. This research is qualitative descriptive. The analysis shows that code-mixing is a phenomenon where two or more languages are used in one sentence or discourse without changing the grammatical structure of each language. In the beauty and makeup industry, many English-derived terms and phrases are commonly used, both among professionals and consumers. Female Daily Review uses various language types to convey reviews, tips, and discussions about beauty. Formal language is used for objective and informative product reviews, while informal language is used for relaxed and personal reviews. Technical language is used for discussing beauty products, while emotional language expresses excitement, disappointment, or personal experiences. Praise or criticism language is used for positive or negative reviews, while instructional language provides tips or guidance on product use, skincare, or makeup looks. Female Daily users often mix languages or code-mixing in their reviews due to their preference for English terms or the globalization of the industry. This allows users to convey their experiences with beauty products more accurately and precisely. Code mixing in product reviews on Female Daily is a common phenomenon due to factors such as a multilingual audience, global audience, culture, speaking style, influence of social media and globalization, expression of identity, vocabulary limitations, perceived quality or excellence, and connected online community. Users may create unique sentences or phrases by combining Indonesian and English words to make their reviews more interesting or different.

Arkeologit somekohun keskellä: Euroopan tummaihoiset metsästäjä-keräilijät Vantaalla ja maailmalla
Authors: Koivisto Andreas , Manninen Mikael
Published: November 2024

Loppuvuodesta 2023 Vantaan Sanomat julkaisi kirjoituksen, jossa kerrottiin Suomen ensiasuttajien olleen todennäköisesti tummaihoisia. Tieto pohjautui viimeksi kuluneen vuosikymmenen aikana tehtyyn tieteelliseen tutkimukseen. Julkaisemista seurasi kohu sosiaalisessa mediassa. Kohu seurasi kansainvälistä esimerkkiä, sillä samankaltaisia kansainvälisiksi paisuneita kohuja liittyen Euroopan tummaihoisiin kivikautisiin metsästäjä-keräilijöihin on aiemmin puhjennut mm. Tanskassa, Ruotsissa ja Isossa-Britanniassa. Vaikuttaa todennäköiseltä, että verkossa nimimerkkien takana kohujen lietsontaan osallistuu tahoja, joiden tarkoitusperät ovat puhtaan poliittisia ja kahtiajakoon pyrkiviä. Vantaan tapauksessa kohu kuitenkin kääntyi tietyiltä osin jopa positiiviseksi asiaksi. Se voitiin hyödyntää lisääntyneenä näkyvyytenä arkeologiselle tutkimukselle ja sen varjolla saatiin nostettua ihmisten kiinnostusta menneisyyteen.

The Effect of Exercise Training on Exercise Behaviour and Quality Of Life in Hypertensive Individuals

Abstract
Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of 12-week exercise training given to individuals with hypertension on exercise behaviors such as exercise habits and compliance with exercise programs and quality of life.
Material and Method: The study included 167 individuals. Participants were grouped as Hypertensive Group (n=91) and Normotensive Group (n=76). Quality of life was assessed with the SF-36 scale, physical activity level with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, exercise behavior with the Exercise Behavior Scale, and exercise barriers with the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale. Participants' blood pressure and heart rate data were recorded. Assessments were made twice, before and after the exercise training program.
Results: In the Hypertensive group, the physical activity level was significantly increased, blood pressure was significantly decreased, and a greater increase was obtained in the exercise change stage compared to the Normotensive group (p0.05). While the quality of life was observed to increase in both groups, more in hypertensive individuals, only the change in the Bodiliy Pain (p=0.044) and General Health (p=0.041) subparameters was significant in the Hypertensive group.
Conclusion: When the data we obtained are examined, it is seen that the increase in exercise compliance and physical activity level is higher in hypertensive individuals. It can be said that this situation affects the health profile positively by increasing the quality of life.
Keywords: Hypertension, exercise training, exercise behavior, quality of life.
Place, Person and Power: Lundayeh/Lun Bawang Pre- And Post-Christian Narratives
Authors:   CSU Sacramento, B. Crain Jay , Pearson-Rounds Vicki
Published: November 2024

This article explores how modernity for the upland peoples of north central Borneo provided new opportunities and presented new challenges to the cultural construction of place, person and power. To the traditional migration tale, which had authenticated both the distribution of communities and their relationships, was added the mission tale, which authenticated membership of individuals and communities into the kingdom of God. In recent years Pentecostal revivals have collapsed the distinction between these types of tales. Tales of spiritual visions deriving from these revivals link place, person and power in ways which transcend the tension between traditional and modern versions of power. Below, we describe and discuss some features of continuity in three narrative texts, the themes within these textual constructions politically embedded discourses. Our analysis situates these narratives within the colonial and post-colonial discourses about Lundayeh/Lun Bawang society.2 We then compare varying constructions of place, person and power in pre- and post- Christian spiritual narratives and discuss how these narratives are enacted as various forms of social practice.
Two Curators, a Classification of Borneo Swords and Some Swords in the Sarawak Museum Collection
Authors:   Monash University, Heppell Michael
Published: November 2024

The Sarawak Museum collection o Dayak swords is central to the accepted classification of Borneo swords. Information in the Museum enabled two Museum curators, Robert Walter Campell Shelford and Edward H. Banks to write articles on the classification of swords in use in Sarawak. Shelford, an entomologist by training and interest, became Curator of the Sarawak Museum at the young age of 25 in 1897. His choice as curator might well have been influenced by the Second Rajah, Charles Brooke’s regard for the work of the great biologist and evolutionist Alfred Russell Wallace who had done his pioneering research in Sarawak in the period 1854 to 1856. Shelford held the post of curator until 1905, when he returned to England to take up a position as an assistant curator at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, housed in the same general building as the Pitt Rivers Museum.

Abstract: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder of varied etiology, common in the adult population, caused by failures in insulin secretion and action that lead to acute and chronic complications. Furthermore, DM is a disease that requires early diagnosis and adequate treatment for a successful prognosis to be achieved. However, some problems such as hospitalizations, loss of productivity, medication expenses and deaths are frequently associated with DM. Thus, currently, the pharmacist needs to work within Pharmaceutical Care in order to relate directly to the patient and monitor their pharmacotherapy. This bibliographic review aims to identify the correlation between DM and Pharmaceutical Care. For this, a bibliographic search will be carried out through books, case studies, literature reviews and articles available in the Pubmed, Scielo, Virtual Health Library and Google Scholar databases. Given this scenario, the importance of the pharmaceutical professional becomes clear, since he/she can ensure adequate pharmacotherapy for the patient, improving their adherence to treatment and, consequently, providing a better quality of life.
Environmental Performance-Driven Parametric Design Method for General Hospitals Layout Design
Authors: Huang Xuanzhi
Published: November 2024

Parametric design driven by environmental performance, a design method integrating
parametric modeling, environmental design simulation tools, and algorithm-empowered
optimization tools, is becoming increasingly popular among architects when designing building
complexes, such as residential, office, and campus buildings, during the early stages of design. However, when it comes to the layout planning of general hospitals, this method has not yet been
sufficiently employed. Despite this, it is undeniable that such a method could be effective in
assisting architects with site planning for typical Chinese general hospital layout design, which
focuses not only on functional efficiency but also on passive design aimed at reducing energy
consumption. This paper studies the previous applications of this method in building complex layout
planning and proposes a feasible alternative for general hospital planning design. Based on the
research, an environmental performance optimization parametric planning program was developed
and tested in a specific general hospital design scenario. The program is used to generate multiple
optimized layouts of the hospital's core buildings, providing valuable results. Optimization strategies
for the tool were then proposed based on the analysis of these results. The potential for application
in more diverse and complex scenarios is also anticipated

Традиционната религия като елемент от националната конституционна идентичност
Authors: Mladenov Mladen
Published: November 2024

The concept of traditional religion is a complex phenomenon containing within itself legal, customary, moral, and other positions. For historical reasons, it has settled in each individual society in a unique and authentic way, in the different nation-states, exchanging active and passive influence with other deontic and axiological systems. The special and essential role of the traditional religion in the Republic of Bulgaria - the Eastern Orthodox faith - is an explicitly enshrined constitutional postulate with the meaning of an element of national identity, on the basis of which doctrinal, administrative, judicial, and other positions are developed, in the complex and dynamic environment of the phenomenon of rule of law.

Nanoscience and nanotechnology have steered in the new era of medical innovation and offered a promising solution to the longstanding challenges in the healthcare due to size dependent physicochemical properties. The ability to engineer the specific nanostructures makes the nanomaterials more attractive and find potential applications in the field of biomedical sciences. Among various noble metal nanomaterials, copper and copper-based nanomaterials are considered as a unique nanomaterial for multitude of the biomedical applications. Plant biomolecules contain various terpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, flavones, proteins, polyphenols, saponins, tannins, steroids, as well as other nutritional compounds; which are capable of acting as reducing and capping agents for copper-based nanomaterials formation. Biosynthesis of copper-based nanomaterials has great advantages due to less-toxicity, biocompatible, antiviral or anti-bacterial properties for the development of bio-sensor or drug delivery application. In this mini-review, the biosensor and drug delivery potential of the copper-based functional nano-formulation are discussed.

ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES AS MODERATOR BETWEEN TAX AUDIT AND TAX COMPLIANCE: INSIGHTS FROM TAX PRACTITIONERS IN NORTHEAST NIGERIA
Authors: SULE ADAMU MAINA , MLANGA SUNDAY , EGBUNIKE AMAECHI PATRICK
Published: November 2024

This study investigates how tax practitioners in Northeast Nigeria perceive administrative penalties as moderating the relationship between tax audits and tax compliance. Survey data were collected from a sample of 104 tax practitioners from six Government Business Tax Offices (GBTOs) and seven Micro and Small Tax Offices (MSTOs) in the region. Descriptive data were analysed using JASP, while hypotheses were tested using PLS-SEM in SmartPLS. The results show that administrative penalties have a significant positive impact on tax compliance (β = 0.561, SD = 0.086, t = 6.498, p < 0.001). However, none of the tax audit types (back duty audit, desk audit, field audit, and registration audit) have a significant impact on tax compliance. Surprisingly, the interaction between back duty audit and administrative penalties has a significant negative impact on tax compliance (β = -0.464, SD = 0.214, t = 2.172, p = 0.030). The study’s findings suggest to tax authorities that administrative penalties jointly with back duty audit may be an effective strategy to improve tax compliance, but their use in conjunction with back duty audits may require careful consideration. The study contributes to the existing literature on tax compliance and provides insights into the specific context of Northeast Nigeria
