Authors: Mandeep Singh  , Subair Ali Liayakath Ali Khan
Published: April 2024

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into autonomous robotics has heralded significant advancements in industrial applications, enhancing operational efficiencies, precision, and adaptability. This paper explores the transformative impact of AI and ML technologies on autonomous robotics in industrial settings, emphasizing the enhancements in automation and control mechanisms. Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis, we discuss the synergistic relationship between AI, ML, and robotics, and how this integration not only improves sensory and decision-making capabilities but also introduces adaptive learning and collaborative functionalities in robotic systems. Our findings reveal that AI-enhanced sensory technologies enable robots to perform complex recognition and manipulation tasks with unprecedented accuracy. Simultaneously, ML algorithms facilitate predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and extending the lifecycle of machinery. Moreover, adaptive learning capabilities allow robots to adjust to new environments and tasks without extensive reprogramming, showcasing significant flexibility and cost-efficiency. The deployment of AI and ML in robotics is not without challenges. The paper identifies key limitations such as data dependency, high computational demands, and adaptability issues. Ethical and societal implications, including job displacement and privacy concerns, are also critically examined to propose a balanced approach towards technology adoption. These include increased investment in R&D, the development of robust ML models, enhanced data governance frameworks, and the establishment of ethical standards to ensure responsible integration of these technologies into industrial practices. By addressing these challenges and leveraging collaborative efforts across sectors, the potential of AI and ML in revolutionizing industrial robotics can be fully realized, leading to a new era of manufacturing excellence.

The study of medicine and the discovery of new chemicals have long relied heavily on drugs made from medicinal plants. The identification of novel bioactive chemicals and the assessment of their efficacy need careful consideration of the safety profiles of plant extracts. Before examining the pharmacological characteristics and perspectives of any plant, toxicity tests must be carried out. The current study seeks to offer a thorough understanding of the phytochemical and toxicological profiling of Eucalyptus citriodora leave extract. For the investigation, a total of 20 mice weighing between 18 and 25g were acquired. The extraction of bioactive components and acute toxicity of the plant extract was determined using standard techniques. Alkaloids, anthraquinones, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins were discovered during phytochemical screening. The extract did not cause toxicity or mortality in any of the experimental mice. Consequently, the ethanolic leaf extract of E. citriodora contained all the bioactive ingredients evaluated, and the LD50 was larger than 2000 mg/kg, and its toxicity profile was universally regarded as safe. This study's findings revealed the potential of ethanolic leaf extract of E. citriodora as a prospective herbal candidate worthy of further inquiry and evaluation.

Due to the maladministration of the education fund, especially, in tertiary institutions in Imo State, the study investigated the relationship between tax reforms and tax generated revenue in tertiary institutions in Imo State of Nigeria, and the specific objective of the study was to investigate the relationship between education tax (EDT) and infrastructural development, staff training and research and development in Alvan Ikoku Federal College of education in Imo State. Education tax (EDT) was explanatory proxy of independent variable, while infrastructural development (ID) staff training and research and development were proxy of dependent variable. SPSS Version 25 statistical package was used for regression. The sample size of this study comprises 120 academic staff. We used quasi-experimental and cross sectional survey technique to elicit responses. The ordinary least square regression was used to analyze the survey data. Our findings revealed that tax (EDT) has a very strong significant relationship with infrastructural development (RD). Secondly, education tax (EDT) has insignificant relationship with staff training (ST). Thirdly, education tax (EDT) has insignificant relationship with research and development (RD. Therefore, the study concluded that it is due to the importance of education tax as a source of government tax revenue based on 2-2.5% which augments the allocation of funds to carry out infrastructural development, staff training and research development to tertiary institutions in Imo State. If the tertiary institutions’ subjects do not witness the staff training and research and development, then, it means that there is misappropriation of such funds to insignificant areas. Hence, the study recommended that efficiency of the Nigeria tax must be improved and upgraded to suit both government and citizens in order to generate higher tax yield that enable the government to continually release and allocate enough education fund to enable the tertiary institutions run their administration efficiently and effectively relative to staff training and research and development.

This study explores impact of proliferation Arms on National Food Security in Nigeria. Proliferation of small arms and light weapons is often one of the major security challenges currently facing Nigeria. The proliferation of arms on the Country, according to some scholars, has been responsible for violence, crime and terrorism in the sub-sahara region. It has become one of the banes to security and developmental challenges in Nigeria during the last two decades. The wave of proliferation across Nigeria has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people each year in Nigeria. Arms proliferation across the country has ravaged lives and property, and over 2,000 people have been reported dead in the country. Suffice it to say, combating arms proliferation has been a challenge to the government. Given this situation, the key questions posed in this paper are the following: What are the Causes of Arms proliferation in Nigeria? What are the effects of the proliferation on the peace and security of Nigeria? Importantly, what are the challenges faced by the government in combating arms proliferation in Nigeria? Why have the prices of food gone up and many people in Nigeria cannot afford three basic meals a day? This study adopts a qualitative research design using secondary data source. After identifying the issue in combating arms proliferation in Nigeria, it then makes proposals for the way forward. Nigerian government should develop a strict roadmap to tackle the issue of illicit weapons which will include addressing the issue of corrupt security officials, strengthening governance issue, updating legislative provisions and transparency of Nigeria arms deals. With these practical solutions, Nigeria’s effort in tackling illicit weapons would be valuable. Fulani herdsmen crisis should be addressed and proffer solutions to avoid threat to lives and property of the people.

Eile's Fiction Ecologies
Authors: McCloskey Paula , Vardy Sam
Published: April 2024

Eile (meaning Other in Irish) is a long-term, transdisciplinary art and spatial practice that critically intervenes in the political, spatial, subjective and ecological spaces of the UK state border on the island of Ireland. It centres on the titular figure Eile, who is imagined as an otherworldly creature of the border. Eile is a transmuter; a shapeshifter; a lobster, a banshee, a flow of water, a gush of wind, who moves in and across the border(lands)through time and space. Through practices of performance, film, sculpture, sound and writing, Eile generates and explores alternative alliances of creatures, flora, fauna and folklore, through a distinct form of fictioning/s, which we call border fictioning/s. In so doing, the aim of Eile is to generate and elucidate alternative imaginaries, epistemes and ontologies of the border in Ireland challenge the inevitability of nation-state borders.This paper offers reflection and analysis of an exhibition of this work, Eile{Border Fictioning} that we (a place of their own) held at Bloc Projects in Sheffield, UK, in 2022. It does so, to reflect on a new emergent aspect of thispraxis, which is concerned with how this historical, experiential and speculative work holds multiplicity and difference together in various ways to evoke multiple ecologies, and subsequently how an important aspect of the anti-colonial praxis of border fictioning is the production of multiple fiction ecologies in the work.
Fiqh Siyâsah Shar'iyyah Analysis of the Boycott of Pro-Israel Products Based on MUI Fatwa No. 83 of 2023 concerning the Law of Support for the Palestinian Cause
Authors: Safdhinar Muhammad An Noor
Published: April 2024

This research article seeks to review and analyze MUI Fatwa No. 83 of 2023 concerning recommendations for calls and calls for boycotts of pro-Israel products based on the views of fiqh siyasah.  The aim is to find out how the fiqh siyasah syar'iyyah views the boycott of pro-Israel products as a form of jihad and defense of the Palestinian state after the issuance of the MUI Fatwa ruling. This research uses a type of library research with a descriptive analysis approach. The results of the study found that in the view of fiqh siyasah boycott of pro-Israel affiliated products is mandatory if the boycott is believed to be harmful and difficult to the infidel Zionist Israel, and does not result in mafsadah for Muslims and a larger state than the mafsadah to be minimized. However, if the boycott actually brings violence and adversely affects Muslims, then the law does not become mandatory. Because in the rule that takes precedence is to anticipate the occurrence of mafsadah rather than realizing benefits. This is an effort to weaken the economy so that it can have a significant impact on stopping the military aggression carried out by Israel. That way, it will be very helpful to open a space for conflict peace between the two warring countries. But in various cases, this boycott must also pay attention and consider the negative impacts it causes, so as not to cause violence for Muslims and the country.

Patriarchal ideals are well-engrained in Pakistani society, relegating women to a position of subordination. The patriarchy uses techniques such as gender segregation, restricted social norms for women, and an ideology that associates female virtue with respect for one's family to keep women under control. This study investigates different sorts of violence against women, including honor killings, sexual assault, acid assaults, abduction, and domestic abuse. According to a 2011 Thomson Reuters Foundation poll. Pakistan is the third most dangerous country for women. The author also emphasizes the inextricable link between patriarchy and violence, as well as the critical importance of increasing women's role in culture, politics, and the economy, and discusses the legal measures adopted by the State to combat and reduce such violence.

Introduction. TB patients co-infected with HIV have a high risk of death. The aim of this study was to estimate the rate of HIV screening among TB patients and to identify the factors associated with HIV screening. Methods. It is a cross-sectional study among adult tuberculosis patients in 12 centres for diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis in Antana- narivo city between February 2008 and April 2009. Results. Three hundred ninety one TB patients were interviewed. The rate of HIV screening was low (6.9%). Being treated at hospital (OR: 7.2 [3.1 - 17.1]), having received advice (OR: 33.7 [13.4 - 84.8]), good knowledge of HIV (OR: 8.3 [3.4 - 20.2]) and good knowledge of co- infection TB / HIV (OR: 8.5 [3.7 - 19.3]) were significantly associated with the HIV screening. Conclusion. TB patient education regarding co-infection TB/HIV and benefit of HIV screening should be routine.

Introduction. To determine the seroprevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV and Treponema pallidum in voluntary blood donors. Materials and methods. A retrospective study was conducted during an 18 years period (1998-2010) at the National Center of Blood Trans- fusion, Antananarivo. Results. 5504 donors were included, 5.85% (322) had at least one positive serology regarding the four microorganisms. Seroprevalence of HIV, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and Treponema pallidum was 0.47% (n=26), 3.21% (n=177) and 0.98% (n=54), 1.18 % (n=65) respec- tively. Hepatitis B virus was more prevalent in male. Conclusion. At the National Blood Transfusion Center of Antananarivo the seroprevalence of HIV, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and Treponema pallidum is lower than in general population. The increase in HIV seroprevalence must improve screening methods such as de- tecting AgP24 rapids tests and even PCR.

Introduction. Malignant melanoma remains the leading cause of death from skin cancer. This study aimed to determine their relative frequency, and to describe the epidemiological characteristics and the histological types. Materials and methods. We conducted a cross-sectional study on cutaneous melanoma diagnosed at the Laboratory of Pathology of Bangui from January 2001 to December 2010 (10 years). Were included in the study all patients, regardless of age and sex, with histological confir- mation. Results. Twenty two cases of malignant melanoma were diagnosed in 10 years, an annual average of 2.2 cases, which represented 9.69% of skin cancers. The average age of the patients was 60.19 ± 12 years. Patients over 55 years were more affected (n=18; 81.8%), regardless of sex (sex ratio = 1). The foot was the main location of the lesions (n=19; 86.4%) and nodular histologic type was more predominant (n=21; 95.4%). In 59.1% of cases (n=13), the Clark and Mihnn level was equal to 4. Conclusion. The diagnosis of malignant melanoma in Central Africa is delayed. Recycling and/or training of health personnel is crucial.

Vulnerability to schizophrenia and risk factors at are studied in a retrospective, prospective and analytical approach from the cases of 56 sub- jects with schizophrenia collected from the register of the Psychiatry Unit of Befelatanana Teaching Hospital, over a 13 months period (August 1st, 2010 - August 31st, 2011). The aim of the study was to analyze the epidemiological aspects, the vulnerability to schizophrenia and the risk factors. The following points can be deducted from the study, male patients were more affected (64.29%). The schizophrenia outset age in rural area is later than that in urban area, where schizoid temperament predominates; the elder among sisters and brothers are the most affected (42.86%); the pregnancy development and that of his/her childhood have an important influence on a later happening of a schizo- phrenic pathology: intra- uterine viral infection (89.29%), mother's stress during pregnancy (83.93%), an overprotective mother (71.43%), a family which intensively lives emotions (78.57%), a family which requires to its members high social manners (60.71%) are among the disor- ders factors; bereavement is the trigger event of the mental disorders for the third of the studied subjects.

Introduction. Goiter and thyroid nodule almost always raise the possibility of cancer, and this should possibly be treated surgically. The ob- jective of this study is to assess the contribution of radionuclide imaging in the diagnostic orientation of goiters and thyroid nodules. Materials and method. This is a retrospective descriptive study, performed on patients who underwent thyroid radionuclide imaging at the Department of Radioisotopes of the Antananarivo University Hospital from January to December 2009. Following variables were studied: age, gender, the motives of the scan, the thyroid hormones levels, the results of thyroid radionuclide imaging. Results. We selected 398 patients. They were aged 7-78 years (mean age = 43 years). There were 350 women (87.9%). Patients were re- ferred for goiter or nodule or remaining thyroid tissue in 63.8 % of cases (n=254). Radionuclide imaging allowed to observe 166 cases of thy- roid hypertrophy (41.7%) and 232 cases of thyroid nodules (58.3%). Cold nodules were observed in 191 patients (48%). Among the 79 pa- tients (19.8%) in whom thyroid hormones were available, 51 (12.8%) were euthyroid. The coexistence of a cold nodule and an euthyroid state was observed in 32/79 patients (40.5%). Conclusion. According to the literature, about 10% of cold nodules are cancerous. Referring to both radionuclide scan and dosages of thy- roid hormones, practitioners may get a more stringent filter for surgical indications. Given the limitations of radionuclide imaging, other means (ultrasound, FNA) should be used to optimize the indications for thyroidectomy.
