Export competitiveness is a relatively late research topic, but there has been a rapid increase in the number of studies in the last three decades. To date, this topic is not only a concern of researchers but also businesses, manufacturing industries, and countries, especially policymakers. In this study, we evaluate Vietnam's tuna export competitiveness in the European market through industry competitiveness indicators, including manifest comparative advantage (RCA), export market share (MS), and export price. In addition, the gravity model is used to determine the factors determining the competitiveness of Vietnam's tuna export industry in this market. The research results show that the competitiveness of Vietnamese tuna in the European market is quite high and tends to increase but is still much weaker than leading competitors such as Thailand, Ecuador, and Spain. The deciding factor for competitiveness is the large amount of domestically exploited tuna. Although the product quality is still low compared to major competitors in the market, it has improved rapidly in recent years. In addition, the suitability of tuna products exported from Vietnam to the import market and exchange rate fluctuations favorable to exports are other competitive advantages, among them, the exchange rate is the biggest decisive role. On the contrary, import taxes are the biggest barrier that reduces competitiveness in this market. To improve competitiveness and move towards sustainable development of the tuna export industry, Vietnam needs to make great efforts, especially strictly controlling domestic tuna resources, avoiding overexploitation, and focusing on improving high product quality. Furthermore, Vietnam needs to focus on meeting the commitment conditions in signed free trade agreements, actively research the market, focus on trade promotion policies, and strengthen trade connections with other import countries.

Published: April 2024

Previous studies on consumer animosity have traditionally focused on the relationship between a single home country and a specific target country. This limited approach implies that animosity is contingent upon the unique dynamics between these two countries. However, this study seeks to broaden the conceptualization of consumer animosity by exploring its applicability to a pandemic health crisis, an area that has not been previously examined. While consumer animosity has been studied in economic, political, cultural, and religious contexts, its relevance within the context of a health crisis has not been thoroughly investigated. This study is to investigate tourist animosity towards different countries and its impact on the decision-making process for choosing a tourist destination, before and after a holiday. This study’s primary objectives were successfully accomplished through a comprehensive analysis, which entailed thoroughly examining and interpreting qualitative data procured from a total of seventeen semi-structured interviews conducted with meticulous care and attention to detail. The findings reveal that tourist animosities, including general animosity, war hartred, the threat of pandemics, and countries' policies regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, have a negative influence on tourists' intentions to visit, intentions to revisit, and their likelihood to spread positive word-of-mouth. The study also highlights that tourists frequently rely on online sources, such as government websites, to access tourism information and review countries' travel policies, even in the post-COVID-19 era. This research contributes to the understanding of the consumer animosity construct, which has been previously explored in the realms of economics, politics, culture, and religion but has not been applied to a pandemic health crisis before. Furthermore, the study investigates universal animosity, which encompasses animosity directed towards various countries and extends beyond country-specific causes, offering practical implications for the tourism industry in the post-pandemic era.

Published: April 2024

Along with the strong development of e-commerce all around the world, Vietnam is considered to be one of the fastest-growing markets in Southeast Asia. Vietnamese companies use the TikTok platform, a popular and widely used platform here, as an effective marketing channel with an extremely low cost. Through this study, the author examines the relationship between the perception of personalization in advertising and the purchase intention of customers, considering additional aspects of advertising value and users' attitudes towards advertising and brands. The author used the PLS-SEM model to analyze 295 samples collected from the actual survey. The outcomes of this study indicate that personalization perceived by customers can increase their positive attitudes toward that advertisement, either directly or by increasing the value of the advertisement. This will have a significant positive impact on customers' attitudes towards the brand, thereby forming their intention to purchase the advertised product. From the obtained results, the author draws conclusions and proposes managerial implications in order to contribute to improving the effectiveness of companies’ marketing strategies on the TikTok platform in Vietnam.

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback - A Review
Authors: Prof. (Dr) Satya Singh  , Ratnesh Kumar Sharma
Published: April 2024

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is a burgeoning field at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human interaction. This approach involves training models to make decisions in dynamic environments by iteratively receiving feedback from human evaluators. In this process, initial models interact with the environment, and human evaluators provide feedback on the model's actions. The model is then updated based on this feedback, enhancing its decision-making capabilities over time.  RLHF  is  particularly  valuable  in  scenarios  where  predefine d  rules  may  be inadequate, emphasizing adaptability and learning from real-world experiences. This abstract explores the applications, advantages, and challenges of RLHF, highlighting its promising results in domains such as robotics, gaming, and natural l anguage processing. The collaboration between machine learning algorithms and human intuition in RLHF presents a compelling synergy that addresses complex problems more effectively than traditional methods. As technology advances, RLHF is poised to unlock new possibilities and drive innovations across diverse fields.

Published: April 2024

Heart disease is a major global health concern, especially in predicting cardiovascular issues. Machine learning (ML) and the Internet of Things (IoT) offer new ways to analyze healthcare data. However, current research lacks depth in using ML for heart disease prediction. To fill this gap, we propose a unique method that uses ML to identify key features for better heart disease prediction accuracy. Our model combines various features and classification techniques to achieve an accuracy of 88.7% in predicting heart disease, with the hybrid random forest and linear model (HRFLM) proving particularly effective. This study advances heart disease detection by integrating ML and IoT technologies.

Published: April 2024

La anemia (An) es un problema de salud pública en Sudamérica, siendo su principal causa la deficiencia de hierro (DH). En las ciudades de altura, la hipoxia hipobárica condiciona un aumento en el nivel de hemoglobina (Hb) en sus residentes. Para el diagnóstico de An se mide la Hb, la cual se modifica después de los índices eritrocitarios (IE). Hay evidencia de que existe una sobrestimación de la prevalencia de An en altura.Objetivo:Correlacionar la ferritina sérica (FS) con la Hb e IE, y determinar el punto de corte de Hb para predecir DH en lactantes de 6 meses a 3400 m de altitud. Sujetos y Método: Se evaluaron 128 lactantes de 6 meses a 3.400 m de altitud. Se consideró variable independiente a la FS. Los IE y la Hb fueron las variables dependientes. La An en el lactante fue definida con una Hb < 13,4 g/dl. La DH se definió por FS < 12 ug/dL. Los datos se procesaron en el programa SPSS® versión 25. Se usó la correlación Spearman para el análisis bivariado. Se construyó la curva ROC para determinar el punto de corte de Hb para DH.Resultados: La mayor correlación de FS se observó con la hemoglobina corpuscular media (HCM), rho = 0,449 (p < 0,001) y el volumen corpuscular medio (VCM) rho = 0,423 (p < 0,001). El punto de corte de la Hb, según la FS, que define DH fue de 12,15 g/dL (curva ROC: 0,704; IC 95%: 0,597-0,811; p < 0,001).Conclusión: El VCM y la HCM presentaron mejor correlación con la FS. El modelo cúbico y logarítmico son los que representaron mejor estas relaciones respectivamente. La Hb < 12,15 g/dL permite diagnosticar DH en lactantes de 6 meses a 3400 m de altura.

Redressing Policy Making in Pastoral Areas of the Mediterranean Region
Authors:   Global Governance Programme, Robert Schuman Centre, European University Institute, Firenze. Email: Michele.Nori@alumniprofs.eui.eu, Nori Michele
Published: April 2024

This chapter provides a critical analysis of the evolution of the policy, institutional and legislative frameworks that influence the livelihoods of pastoralist communities on different shores of the Mediterranean and the narratives that underpin them, in order to support a more informed and coherent policy framework. The European Union's (EU) Common Agricultural Policy is crucial in shaping the contraction of pastoralists' livelihoods, not only in Europe but also in neighbouring regions. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, despite a rather disharmonious and diverse ideological and institutional context, the agricultural policies of different countries seem to converge towards a common framework. Across the Mediterranean, increasing compliance with policy measures, institutional regulations and legislative rules has exposed agro-pastoral farms to an increasing degree of uncertainty and dependence on public subsidies, loan programmes and market prices, making their navigation along pastures and grasslands less and less sustainable.

Determining the essence, correlation and types of objects of law and objects of legal relations is considered one of the most debatable issues in the theory of law, having significant theoretical and practical significance. This chapter analyzes the constitutional, subsoil and gemological legislation regulating relations arising out from material gemological objects. The objective of this study is to understand intersectoral aspects of gemstones of natural origin, having been considered as an object of legal relations. The methodology comprised of dialectical, comparative legal, formal legal (dogmatic), formal logical, critical legal, systemic-structural and systemic-functional methods. This is the first time when geological-legal science has proposed the foundation of a dualistic theory addressing the multi-level structure of objects of gemological legal relations. It consists of the symbiosis of gemologically-significant actions and goods. The chapter also proposes general legal definition (an object of gemological law, an object of legal regulation of gemological law, an object of gemological legal relations), and special-legal definition (amber-bearing subsoil, natural gemstones) aimed at developing and improving the national gemological law.

This chapter provides an overview of the legal and policy frameworks for the protection of threatened and vulnerable wildlife on private lands in Canada and the United States, the approaches adopted in different jurisdictions and the response of key constituencies, and formulates recommendations based on these experiences. Canada and the United States serve as an important source of comparison in terms of biodiversity protection mechanisms for several reasons, ranging from geography and legal systems protections to shared economic concerns and development. Additionally, the shared fundamental dichotomy between governance at the national/federal level and the provincial/state level is a key area of comparison since there are many overlaps in these elements of governance across systems. At the same time, these relationships are governed subject to different forms of legal imperatives given the nature of articulated national and subnational powers and roles in Canadian law and the Constitution of the United States. Since both systems give primacy of place in law and regulation related to biodiversity and associated resources to the national/federal level, any comparisons must start at this level.

Forests influence climate change by either increasing or decreasing the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases. When unsustainably managed, forests can release more greenhouse gases than they can absorb, intensifying their atmospheric concentration with adverse climate and human health outcomes. Several frameworks and institutional arrangements have been adopted globally to help strengthen political commitment and actions to promote the sustainable management of forests and enhance forests’ contribution to climate change mitigation. Nevertheless, the destruction of tropical forests is accelerating at an alarming rate, making it an uphill battle to stop forest sector carbon emissions, limit the global average temperature rise to well below 2°C, and build a sustainable and climate-resilient future for all. The continuous release of forest-related emissions indicates that humanity has fallen short of meeting global forest and climate-related goals and, hence, reiterates the need to develop and apply additional tools to support international cooperation on mitigating forest carbon emissions. Considering deforestation’s challenge for voluntary frameworks such as the UN Forest Instrument and REDD+, opportunities/actions beyond non-legally binding agreements and principles must be harnessed promptly. Trade-related measures, such as the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade Action Plan, are relevant in addressing deforestation. Arguably, the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade Action Plan provides the most appropriate framework for future regional/global forest law reform.
Customary Institutions and Rules underlying Conservation Functions of Sacred Sites or Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas

Sacred sites, or indigenous and community conserved areas (ICCAs), are repositories of biological and cultural diversity, the spaces de facto governed by Indigenous peoples or local communities. There are many thousands of these sites across the world, including sacred forests, wetlands, landscapes, village lakes, catchment forests, river and coastal stretches and marine areas. Though the backbone of sacred sites or ICCAs is the robust local governance system of Indigenous/customary institutions and their customary laws/rules, aspects such as institutional analysis, institutional governance, customary laws/rules and management systems are inadequately investigated. This article suggests how customary institutions or rules enable the underlying conservation functions of sacred sites or ICCAs and that due recognition and attention need to be given to indigenous protocols re ICCAs to enable the conservation of biological and cultural diversity. Through enabling legislation or policy, the customary institutions of traditional communities managing the sacred sites can be reinforced and restored. Relevance of sacred sites or ICCAs can be established in biodiversity conservation processes if the resilience of customary institutions and the ability of institutions withstanding external challenges are appreciated.

An excessive use of toxic plant protection chemicals has irreversibly damaged the soil biology of agroecosystems, resulting in a substantial decline of productivity. Biocontrol agents, especially microbial biopesticides, are seen as one of the key solutions to overcome toxicity and pest resistance issues. Biopesticides are defined as mass-produced agents manufactured from living microorganisms or natural products used for the control of pests. Laws to regulate biopesticides both in India and Canada need to be analysed from the perspectives of trade facilitation, ease of business, proliferation of green technologies and products, and the sustainability and revitalization of soil biology. Registration of new biopesticides for its manufacturing, trade, import, storage, transport, disposal and safety is discussed from the point of view of the legal barriers imposed on the production process and trade. Having compared laws of both countries, authors offer recommendations for legal reform.

The postpartum period is the most vulnerable period for morbidity, one of the causes of morbidity in postpartum mothers is problems with the lactation process. During the puerperium infection and inflammation of the breast can occur, infection occurs through wounds on the nipples, but maybe also through the blood circulation. The signs are chills accompanied by a rise in temperature, sufferers feel lethargic and have no appetite. The cause of the infection is usually staphylococcus aureus, enlarged breasts, breast pain in a place where the skin is red, swollen, and painful to touch. Therefore it is necessary to prevent one of them with breast care.The purpose of this study was to analyze the description of the factors associated with the incidence of breastfeeding in postpartum mothers in the working area of ??the UPT Panca Makmur Health Center, North Morowali Regency in 2023.This study uses a quantitative research method. The research design used in this study is a descriptive survey. Based on the total sampling technique, the number of samples obtained was 33 respondents. The results showed the characteristics of the respondents in terms of age, parity, education and occupation. The average number of respondents aged 25 to 30 years was 16 people (48.5%), while the parity of respondents was more dominant primipara and multipara as many as 13 people each (39.4%), for education more dominant high school graduates were 14 people (42.4%), and 17 people (51.5%) do not work for more dominant jobs. Factors related to breast milk retention include experience of breastfeeding, frequency of breastfeeding, technique of suckling, and shape of the nipples. Regarding breastfeeding experience, only 3 (9%) of mothers who had breastfed before experienced breast milk retention. While mothers who breastfeed more than 12 times, only 5 people (15%) experience breast milk retention. For proper breastfeeding techniques, only 7 people (21%) had normal nipple shapes, and only 1 person (3%) had breast milk.It is hoped that health workers can improve health services to the community, especially for women of reproductive age regarding postpartum health in dealing with breast milk dams during the postpartum period.

In criminal litigation, evidence plays a very significant role in ensuring that justice is delivered. Nevertheless, justice cannot be achieved without the correct application of standard of proof. Failure to apply the correct standard of proof could result in miscarriage of justice. This paper examines the concept of standard of proof from the Islamic and common law perspectives. It also analyses the similarities and differences in the application of standard of proof under both legal systems. This study is a doctrinal research and utilises qualitative methods. The primary and secondary data are gathered using the documentation method obtained from library, legal statutes and reported cases. The gathered data are then further analysed using content analysis method. Findings of this study show that there are similarities and differences in the concept of standard of proof in criminal cases under both legal systems. In spite of the similarities, several applications under the common law should not be referred or utilised in litigating Syariah criminal cases. This paper suggests that the standard of proof under Islamic law is to be harmonised with the common law in the prosecution of criminal cases in the Syariah courts. The research conducted contributes towards the knowledge in distinguishing between the Islamic and common law principles particularly for countries that practise Islamic criminal law.
Factors affecting iodine content of cow milk-A review
Authors: Khandakar MMH , Islam MA
Published: April 2024

This review discusses the importance of iodine as an essential nutrient for human health and the factors that can influence the concentration of iodine in cow milk. For an adult, the daily recommended requirement of iodine is 150 µg/day and the maximum tolerable limit ranges from 600 to 1100 µg/day. Cow milk is a significant source of iodine in many countries, particularly in areas where iodine-rich foods are not readily available. Therefore, evaluating the variables that affect the iodine content of cow milk is important. The iodine concentration of cow milk can vary depending on several factors such as genetics, diet, environment, management practices, season, and processing. Particularly, dietary supplementation and feed composition have been identified as the most impactful on milk's iodine levels, offering a practical approach to mitigating iodine deficiency. Furthermore, environmental factors like soil and water iodine content and management practices, including the type of farming, play substantial roles. Seasonal changes also significantly affect iodine levels, with higher concentrations typically observed in winter due to different feeding practices. The iodine content of cow milk falls between 147 to 605 µg/kg and the highest value of 11100 µg/L was recorded in camel milk. Milk could supply up to 60% of the daily dietary requirement of iodine for an adult person. To fight iodine deficiency through the appropriate approach to such concerns, one must have an in-depth understanding of these issues. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of these factors and their implications for human and public health strategies.
