Authors: Irfan Andi , Harkaneri Harkaneri , Rimet Rimet , Febria Dessyka
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The utilization of cow feces as an alternative energy source, namely biogas, is a substitute for fossil fuels for humans for environmental sustainability. The purpose of this service activity is to form an asset-based community that is driven by community or society.
Methodology/approach: The service is located in Makmur Sejahtera Village, Gunung Sahilan District, Kampar Regency. The cattle breeder community in this village consisted of 31 heads of families with more than 150 cattle. The method chosen for this service activity was the ABCD method.
Results/findings: The results of this community service show community awareness of the use of cow dung in biogas. The main aim is to improve the community's economy in addition to making an effort to save the environment sustainably. BUMDes Sejahtera Bersama, owned by Makmur Sejahtera, has not been able to manage biogas or become a container because it is feared that it will not be managed well, and that access is far from reactors that are already in production.
Conclusion: Failures in reactors are discussed to find practical solutions that can be implemented immediately, namely, by looking for reactor leaks and waiting longer for biogas production.
Limitation: This service only involves smaller community groups, and the amount of cow feces is reduced owing to the increasing demand for beef.
Contribution: This community service is able to increase public awareness of the use of cow dung in biogas, and in the future, the village government is committed to developing the community to improve the community's economy.

Mobile Payment Security: A Critical Analysis of Vulnerabilities & Emerging Threats
Authors: Rahmad Nurainaa Nabihah , Zullzaidi Nurul Syazwani Mohd , Azmi Nurul Dina Farisah , Khairudin Nur Madeehah
Published: January 2024

The article explores the security aspects of mobile payment systems
(MPS) in the context of urban Internet of Things (IoT) technology. MPS
leverages mobile devices and the internet to facilitate convenient
financial transactions, catering to a user base of over 960 million
globally. Nevertheless, the ease of mobile payments is accompanied by
security apprehensions, including device susceptibilities, theft risks,
and potential cyber assaults. This paper examines the technical
environment of MPS, focusing on their development over time, the current
utilization of technologies like NFC, and the security measures that
regulate these systems. The paper also explores alternative payment
protocols and current security measures, providing a valuable
understanding of the correlation between mobile payments and online
security. This investigation aims to enhance the safety and
understanding of mobile payment systems and provide guidance for future
enhancements in security measures to create a more secure digital
transaction environment.
Federated Clustered Multi-Domain Learning for Health Monitoring
Authors: Jiang Shiyi , Li Yuan , Firouzi Farshad , Chakrabarty Krishnendu
Published: January 2024

Wearable Internet of Things (WIoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are
rapidly emerging technologies for healthcare. These technologies enable
seamless data collection and precise analysis toward fast,
resource-abundant, and personalized patient care. However, conventional
machine learning workflow requires data to be transferred to the remote
cloud server, which leads to significant privacy concerns. To tackle
this problem, researchers have proposed federated learning, where
end-point users collaboratively learn a shared model without sharing
local data. However, data heterogeneity, i.e., variations in data
distributions within a client (intra-client) or across clients
(inter-client), degrades the performance of federated learning. Existing
state-of-the-art methods mainly consider inter-client data
heterogeneity, whereas intra-client variations have not received much
attention. To address intra-client variations in federated learning, we
propose a federated clustered multi-domain learning algorithm based on
ClusterGAN, multi-domain learning, and graph neural networks. We applied
the proposed algorithm to a case study on stress-level prediction, and
our proposed algorithm outperforms two state-of-the-art methods by 4.4%
in accuracy and 0.06 in the F1 score. In addition, we demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by investigating variants of its
different modules.
A wise irrigation to contribute to integrated water resource management
Authors: Borin Maurizio
Published: January 2024

Irrigated agriculture accounts for about 20% of cultivated lands worldwide while currently generating an estimated 40% of crop production, and two-thirds of future gains in crop production are expected to come from irrigated lands. Therefore, irrigation is strategic to ensure food for the world’s increasing population and slow down the pace of deforestation. Irrigated agriculture also accounts for more than 70% of global water withdrawals, and the way agriculture uses freshwater is crucial for ensuring availability for other activities and preserving water-related ecosystems. To give an agri-environmental interpretation of the water fluxes involved in irrigation, the total amount of water withdrawn from a source is called white water (W) and subdivided as follows: gold water (G) is the amount that is actually used by the crops. This fraction represents the ultimate goal of irrigation, which is to increase crop productivity and food availability. We can also consider this amount as the irrigation water for crops. The gold color means an income for the farm; emerald water (E) is the amount of water withdrawn for irrigation that does not reach the crops but provides ecosystem services, i.e., the benefits that people get from ecosystems. This amount of water is useful for the community and can be identified as irrigation of the territory; red water (R) is losses, i.e., the fraction of water that has to be reduced as much as possible if not eliminated. It is an economic, social and environmental cost; the red color is associated with the red traffic light that means STOP! The quantification of W has to be preceded by a careful evaluation of the benefits achievable with irrigation in relation to the environmental characteristics of the cultivation area. Strategic issues at this stage are the choice between full or deficit irrigation and the individuation of opportunities to exploration of opportunities to increase the availability of water resources by using non-conventional sources. The quantification of G and E fluxes is necessary to reduce losses, while strategies/techniques useful to reduce irrigation needs at the field level are key factors to allocate irrigation water within the framework of an integrated and sustainable management of water aimed at turning user conflicts into synergies. This implies multiple subjects and actors in a multi-disciplinary approach.
De hernieuwing van de utopische energieën
Authors: De Munck Jean
Published: January 2024

De opkomst van de politieke ecologie in het laatste derde kwartaal van de 20ste eeuw was een bijzonder belangrijke politieke gebeurtenis. Dit vormde namelijk het begin van een nieuwe structurerende scheidingslijn in de moderne democratie, namelijk die tussen het productivisme en het antiproductivisme. Tot dan toe werden de grote denkkaders om het politieke speelveld te begrijpen, bepaald door drie tegenstellingen. Vooreerst was er de kloof tussen liberalen en conservatieven, die werd voortgebracht door de revoluties van de 18de eeuw en die tot op vandaag aanleiding heeft gegeven tot een seculiere strijd voor individuele vrijheid. Dan was er de kloof tussen nationalisme en imperialisme, die de revolutionaire hoop van volkeren op zoek naar collectieve autonomie heeft gedragen, zowel in goede als in kwade dagen. Tot slot was er de kloof tussen de arbeiders en de bezittende klasse, die voortgekomen is uit de industrialisatie (terwijl de twee vorige in agrarische samenlevingen zijn ontstaan) en aanleiding heeft gegeven tot een lange geschiedenis van strijd en sociale verworvenheden rond de kwestie van gelijkheid. Die drie tegenstellingen hebben elkaar gekruist en overgedetermineerd, en hebben geleid tot het ontstaan van talrijke bewegingen en ervaringen die hun neerslag hebben gevonden in juridische en politieke instellingen.
De natuur als resonantieruimte en als bron van sterke waarden
Authors: Rosa Hartmut
Published: January 2024

In dit artikel wil ik de stelling ontwikkelen dat wij moderne mensen behoefte hebben aan een natuur die beschouwd kan worden waargenomen als een ‘resonantieruimte’, voorbij haar kwaliteiten als hulpbron en object van manipulatie. Hiermee bedoel ik dat mensen de natuur (willen) ervaren als een Ander die als het ware ‘spreekt met zijn eigen stem’ en functioneert als een onaf hankelijke bron van waarde. Een dergelijk natuur lijkt in die zin onmisbaar dat moderne mensen zichzelf in haar kunnen terugzien, maar haar ook kunnen gebruiken als ‘klankbord’ voor de ervaring van zichzelf, voor oriëntatie in de wereld en voor de ontwikkeling en het behoud van een individuele identiteit. Alleen dit verklaart hoe de angst voor ‘vernietiging van het milieu’ inmiddels een van de grootste angsten van de moderniteit is geworden (en herhaaldelijk zelfs de voorpagina’s van de krant BILD haalt): Het gaat niet om de vernietiging van de natuur als zodanig – want zij zal zonder enige twijfel na de mens blijven voortbestaan – maar om het veel reëlere gevaar van haar ‘verstommen’ voor de mens, de vernietiging van haar resonantie. Omwille van een betere begrijpelijkheid en een duidelijkere argumentatiestructuur heb ik mijn bijdrage onderverdeeld in zeven deelthesen, die op elkaar voortbouwen, maar natuurlijk ook afzonderlijk in twijfel getrokken of aanvaard kunnen worden.
Religiositeit, blinde vlek van het humanisme?
Authors: van der Wal Koo
Published: January 2024

In dit winternummer van Waardenwerk is een thema gewijd aan een kritische heroverweging van het hedendaagse humanisme. Het gaat dan dus om de vraag of het humanisme zoals dat zich in de achter ons liggende tijd ontwikkeld heeft, ook zijn blinde vlekken heeft en daarom correcties nodig heeft. Eén daarvan is ontegenzeggelijk het milieu. Vandaar dan de vraag naar de compatibiliteit van humanisme en ecologisch denken (en handelen!). Maar ik denk dat het (reëel bestaande) humanisme meer stief kinderen had en heeft. Op één daarvan wil ik in dit artikel inzoomen en wel op het zogeheten religieus humanisme. Ofwel op de vraag, parallel aan die met betrekking tot het milieu, naar de compatibiliteit van het humanisme en een religieuze denk- en leefwijze. De uitdrukking `religieus humanisme’ is voor moderne oren inderdaad niet onproblematisch. Worden hier immers geen begrippen met elkaar verbonden waartussen een spanning bestaat, die elkaar zelfs lijken uit te sluiten? Een tijd lang was dat in Nederlandse humanistische kringen de dominante opvatting (en nog wel in sterkere mate in België). De humanistische beweging was immers gedacht als een geestelijk onderkomen voor diegenen die het in de kerken niet meer konden vinden en nu in wereldbeschouwelijk opzicht dakloos waren geraakt. Dat die niet- of anticonfessionaliteit dan als niet- of antireligiositeit geïnterpreteerd werd is niet zo vreemd. Het roept intussen wel de vraag op of die gelijkstelling juist is, of religiositeit enkel onder confessioneel dak te vinden is.
De meester van de wetenschappen. Het humanisme in het licht van McGilchrists theorie van de twee hersenhelften
Authors: Vreugdenhil Remi
Published: January 2024

Er zijn in het verleden verscheidene pogingen gedaan om het bewustzijn of zijn ontwikkelingsgeschiedenis te herleiden tot twee fundamentele principes. Het Zoroastrisme bracht alles terug tot de strijd tussen goed en kwaad; in het Taoïsme zag men het meest fundamentele onderscheid in de principes van Ying en Yang; Hegel had zijn beroemde meester/ slaaf dialectiek van de geest; Schopenhauer beschreef twee verschillende manieren waarop de werkelijkheid zich toont, als wil en als voorstelling. Nietzsche stelde daar zijn strijd tussen het Apollonische en Dionysische voorin de plaats; en Goethe’s Faust verklaarde een tweeledige inborst te hebben (‘Zwei Seelen wohnen, ach! In meiner Brust’). De aantrekkingskracht van deze duale schema’s heeft ongetwijfeld te maken met hun vermogen om de wereld in de meeste simpele termen te vatten, en daarmee tegemoet te komen aan een zeer diepgewortelde intuïtie van de mens. Maar hoe ingenieus of intuïtief aansprekend ze ook mogen zijn, geen van deze tweedelingen heeft zich ooit mogen verheugen op bekrachtiging door de wetenschap. Daarnaast heeft de postmoderne weerstand tegen ‘Grand Narratives’ ook bepaald geen positieve invloed gehad op hun receptiegeschiedenis. De theorieën lijken hierdoor voorgoed veroordeeld te zijn tot een schaduwbestaan in één of andere culturele of intellectuele niche, weggeworpen als versleten sektarische relieken die niet langer aanspraak kunnen maken op enige objectiviteit of academische geloofwaardigheid. Het duale schema dat de werkelijkheid beschouwt vanuit twee oerprincipes, heeft blijkbaar zijn beste tijd gehad.
Verantwoord Leiderschap in een Stakeholder Samenleving
Authors: Nullens Patrick , vvan den Berg Jordy , de Zwaan Josephine
Published: January 2024

Verantwoord leiderschap in de context van een hoogtechnologische globale economie vereist grotere aandacht voor een integratie van de toekomst bij alle afwegingen van vandaag. Verantwoordelijkheid is zowel een retrospectief als een prospectief juridisch en ethisch begrip. Vooral dit laatste, het prospectieve ethische, wordt steeds belangrijker. Verantwoordelijk beleid integreert zowel de toekomst van de betrokken onderneming met de brede toekomst zoals die door de hele samenleving tot uitdrukking is gebracht in wetten, richtlijnen en beginselen. Verantwoordelijkheid van toezichthouders en bestuurders gaat dus veel verder dan risico’s beheersen en compliant leidinggeven. De betekenisvelden van juridische en ethische verantwoordelijkheid lopen in elkaar over, maar zijn toch niet gelijk. Het klimaatvonnis tegen Royal Dutch Shell toont dat bedrijven ook juridisch verantwoordelijk worden gesteld wanneer zij de ethische en maatschappelijke verantwoordelijkheid die zij dragen niet of onvoldoende nemen. Het Shell arrest illustreert het belang van prospectieve ethische verantwoordelijkheid. Na een moraalfilosofische reflectie op verantwoordelijkheid, vooral op basis van Hans Jonas, presenteren we in dit essay een concreet leiderschapsmodel: ‘Responsible Leaderhip Theory in a Stakeholder Society’. Hier krijgt het ethische begrip ‘verantwoordelijkheid’ voor duurzame waardencreatie een sleutelrol. Dit leiderschapsmodel is tot op heden minder bekend in de Nederlandse context. Het is niet hiërarchisch of statisch maar gaat uit van de diverse rollen van leidinggevende in een complex netwerk van actuele en toekomstige belangen van stakeholders. Het model is gebaseerd op de waarden van de nieuwe economie, ethisch-relationeel en richt zich op een nieuwe vormen van kennen, doen en zijn. Verantwoordelijke leiders werken relationeel, vanuit verschillende geïntegreerde rollen, om samen met belanghebbenden duurzame waardencreatie en sociale verandering na te streven. Verantwoord leiderschap kan omgaan met diverse netwerken, vlot wisselen van rollen en desalniettemin handelen vanuit een sterk zelf-reflecterende authenticiteit gericht op een betere wereld.

The Provisions of International Crime in International Criminal Law the Rome Statute as a Model
Authors: Al-Obaidi Bushra Salman Husain
Published: January 2024

With the emergence of organized societies, the norms that controlled the management of these societies arose with them and later developed into laws, regulations, and provisions regulating the relations of people in these societies and later in states, but without becoming a law that governs relations of these countries, with the development of states and the development of human perception, many practices in international relations have become rejected, and it has become necessary to place restrictions on the actions of states, whether in wartime or peacetime, in a way that guarantees human dignity. Justice was and will remain the prayer of humanity and its perpetual sanctification, which philosophers and thinkers have sought since ancient times until Socrates said: “There is no adornment more beautiful than justice because it is one of the best powers of the mind.”, so justice needed effective systems and working institutions. The judiciary was the most important and trusted institution of it, and there was no authority over it except the law. The world needs an effective international criminal court that enjoys widespread support. Conflicts, wars, violence, and human rights violations have taken many forms during the various stages of human history, as recent events have shown the continuation of this development, perhaps the seriousness of the crimes committed and the harm that they result from man and his surroundings, as well as the international nature of the crimes committed and public opinion, condemning them, and the desire to reduce these crimes by not leaving the perpetrators unpunished, are the most important factors and foundations for punishing international crimes.

Published: January 2024

Background: Despite the fact that, ferritin is commonly regarded as a representation of total body iron reserves; its predictive value is also connected to COVID-19 severity. COVID-19 disease can manifest itself in pregnant women in a variety of ways. Comorbid conditions have a significant impact on the progression of COVID-19 severity. Several studies have showed that, serum ferritin level was associated with severity of COVID-19 infection. So, we conducted this study to evaluate the comparison of mean serum ferritin levels between non-severe and severe COVID-19 infection groups during third trimester of pregnancy. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the mean serum ferritin levels between non-severe and severe COVID-19 infection groups in third trimester of pregnancy. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, COVID-19 Unit, BSMMU and DMCH. Sampling method was purposive. Total 154 cases were included in this study after matching eligibility criteria. After collecting intravenous blood, serum ferritin level was measured. Results: Among 154 cases, 24.7% cases were asymptomatic, 40.3% cases were mild, 24.7% cases were moderate and 10.4% cases were severe COVID-19 infection during third trimester of pregnancy. The non-severe COVID-19 infection group consisted of 100 cases of asymptomatic and mild COVID-19 infected patients, with a mean serum ferritin level of 51.48 ng/ml. The severe COVID-19 infection group consisted of 54 cases of moderate and severe COVID-19 infected patients, with a mean serum ferritin level of 478.37 ng/ml. The independent samples t-test revealed a p-value of ≤0.05 (0.0000000002), when comparing the mean values of these two groups. Conclusion: Serum ferritin level rises significantly in severe COVID-19 infection during third trimester of pregnancy.

Background: Postpartum intrauterine contraceptives device (PPIUCD) offers an effective means of providing contraceptive services to women in countries with high rates of unmet needs for family planning services. Scientific literature estimating the long-term retention rates is scarce. The complications following PPIUCD insertion at the three follow-up visits. The PPIUCD can be placed immediately following delivery of the placenta, during cesarean section or within 48 hours following childbirth. Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the evaluation of short-term complications of Post-Partum Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (PPIUCD). Methods: This is a prospective observational study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). 360 eligible postpartum women were counselled for PPIUCD insertion. These women were also interviewed for their reasons for accepting and rejecting PPIUCD. After consent, Cu-T 380A insertion was done. Follow-up was done at 6 weeks or when reported with any complaint. Results: PPIUCD implantation was performed on 48 (13.3%) of 360 eligible counseled postpartum patients. Acceptance of PPIUCD was higher in the age range of 25 - 30 years (43.75%), women from middle socioeconomic status (58.3%), those with family support (75%), those who had previously had PPIUCD health counselling (70.8%), and multipara (68.75%). Missing thread (8.3%), lower abdomen pain (6.25%), and irregular per vaginal bleeding (4.2%) were the most prevalent problems. There was 86% continuation of IUCD, 8% discontinuance, 6% expulsion, and no occurrence of unintended pregnancy. Conclusion: The awareness about availability of PPIUCD is quite low because it is recently introduced in the family planning methods. The most common reason for refusal is disagreement between the husband and his family. Acceptance can be increased further by disseminating information and providing proper counseling in antenatal clinics.

Leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF), an essential source of cytokines and growth factors, has been widely used to regulate the healing process. The quality of the L-PRF obtained is dependent on technical factors and the centrifugation protocol used. Thus, the present study aimed to macro and microscopically evaluate the formation of the L-PRF membrane/clot in two centrifuge models and protocols recommended by manufacturers. Four blood samples from 8 healthy volunteers undergoing rehabilitation surgery with dental implants were used. In group 1 of the Montserrat centrifuge (model 80-2B 15mL) 400g of centrifugal force were used for 10 minutes, 27ºC, and 2700 rpm, while in group 2 of the Intra Spin-Intra-Lock centrifuge (IntraSpin™, Intra-Lock Iberia) 400g of centrifugal force were used for 12 minutes, 27ºC and 2700 rpm. After obtaining 32 L-PRF clots/membranes, the pieces were recorded, measured, and weighed, separating the L-PRF from the supernatant/clot of red blood cells, remaining in the tubes. The specimens were then histologically processed for Hematoxylin/Eosin (H/E) staining and each slide was divided into three called areas: proximal, center, and distal. The presence of leukocytes was analyzed semi-quantitatively in each area. The results revealed no significant macroscopic differences in L-PRF between the two groups. However, the central areas of the L-PRF membranes produced in group 2 showed higher intensity of leukocytes (p=0.012), as well as the presence of concomitant leukocytes in at least 2 of the evaluated areas (p=0.003). In the proximal area, no significant differences were observed between the two groups. The results allow us to postulate that technical protocol factors influence the presence and distribution of leukocytes between the L-PRF membranes, obtained in different centrifuges.

Objetivo: Descrever o perfil epidemiológico dos casos notificados de tétano acidental no nordeste brasileiro entre os anos de 2007 e 2022. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo do tipo ecológico cuja coleta de dados foi realizada no mês de maio de 2023 utilizando a plataforma online do Sistema de Informação de Agravo de Notificação (SINAN). Resultados: A amostra (1422 casos) apresentou grande maioria masculina (89,52%), com predomínio da raça parda (73,41%) e com a maioria (53,09%) dos casos tendo evoluído para cura. A letalidade média entre os anos avaliados foi de 32,22 a cada 100 casos confirmados, sendo os picos de letalidade nos anos de 2021 e 2018 com (n=19,23) e (n=48,33) respectivamente. Considerações finais: O estudo coopera com o avanço do conhecimento epidemiológico no que se diz respeito aos casos confirmados de TA na Região Nordeste. A partir dele é possível observar sucessivamente a evolução da incidência da doença na região estudada. Além disso, é essencial investir em ações preventivas no intuito de amenizar os problemas resultados da doença. Ademais, a pesquisa possui como deficiência eventuais casos de subnotificação, desatualização e falta de registro devido às imperfeições da plataforma utilizada na realização da coleta de dados.
