On Freedom of Speech and Censorship
Authors: Lucas Marieme Helie
Published: December 2022

I was imprudent enough to bring back from a trip to New York a copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, bought at the UN shop, which I gave to my eight-year-old son as a present. For the following months, he persecuted me by ‘claiming his rights’ while making unreasonable demands, booklet in hand. While this is a lovely memory of a bright child, many of the demands I now witness being made by individuals – most often on behalf of their ‘communities’ in furtherance of ‘rights’ – are characterised by the same self-centred immaturity.
On Censoring of Ted Talk
Authors: Namazie Maryam
Published: December 2022

Do I or do I not have the right to tell my story?

This is the question I asked at my 2020 talk on Creativity in Protesting Islamic Fundamentalism at TedX Warwick’s Creativity within Crisis event. Ironically, my talk on the censorship of ex-Muslims was itself censored by TedX, first by its refusal to publish the talk due to ‘political content’ and then by publishing after public pressure but without any slides – and the addition of a trigger warning: ‘Some viewers may find elements of this talk to be distressing or objectionable.’
عادة ماكاتي (Makkatte’) بسولاويسي الجنوبية: بين التعاليم الدينية والتقاليد المحلية
Authors: Yasin Yuli , Shuhufi Nadyatul Hikmah , Maula Ishmatul
Published: December 2022

This research discusses about one of the customs or social traditions practiced by Muslim community in South Sulawesi. This tradition is called “Makkatte”. It is said that this tradition stems from the teachings of Islam, which includes a ceremony of female circumcision. It is well known that female circumcision has become subject for public debate and discussion in our present era, after the classical Muslim jurists agreed on its legitimacy, despite of their differences in its ruling, whether such a practice is considered a religious obligation or Sunnah. This research aims to define the Makkatte tradition and its status in the South Sulawesi community, in addition to its rule in the Islamic jurisprudence. This research adopts the descriptive and analytical method that allows researcher to obtain information, documents and folk narratives. This research also used field work method by making interviews with  relevant sources and distributing questionnaires in 16 regions in South Sulawesi. One of the most important findings from this research is that Makkatte is a ceremony that includes ablution, pronouncement of shahada, reciting some verses of the Qur’an, and female circumcision. In its ritual process, Makkatte is most often performed by a person known as Sanro, which means midwife according to the Bugis language in Sulawesi. The majority of the Muslim community in South Sulawesi agreed that the tradition of Makkatte is  an obligation on every female, as it includes shahada and circumcision. This study also affirms that the additional customary ceremonies to Makkatte does not affect the fact that it is in compliance with God Almighty's command to circumcise females.
Perfect QCD – a new Universal approach to soft QCD
Authors: Christiansen Peter
Published: December 2022

The ideas presented in this proceeding aims to be a first step towards a description of hadronic collisions where all soft processes are fundamentally strongly coupled and the same Universal strongly coupled physics drives both initial and final-state interactions. As it is not currently possible to derive such a picture from first principles, instead, an attempt to generalize the perfect liquid observation to a “perfect QCD” guiding principle is presented, focusing on implications for particle production in small systems. The first steps towards a microscopic model is taken by arguing that “perfect QCD” suggests that the screening in the initial state is so large that multi-parton interactions are of little or no importance. Instead, a target and projectile remnant is coherently excited and particle production is mainly driven by radiation in a qualitative similar manner as e+ e ̅  \rightarrow qq̅. Finally, some of the possible implications of this “excited remnant model” are presented. It is argued that the time ordering of soft and hard physics can explain the absence of jet quenching in small systems and that the coherence scale of the projectile and target provides insights into what small systems will exhibit flow.

Published: December 2022

The equation of state (EoS) of QCD is a crucial input for the modeling of heavy-ion-collision (HIC) and neutron-star-merger systems. Calculations of the fundamental theory of QCD, which could yield the true EoS, are hindered by the infamous Fermi sign problem which only allows direct simulations at zero or imaginary baryonic chemical potential. As a direct consequence, the current coverage of the QCD phase diagram by lattice simulations is limited. In these proceedings, two different equations of state based on first-principle lattice QCD (LQCD) calculations are discussed. The first is solely informed by the fundamental theory by utilizing all available diagonal and non-diagonal susceptibilities up to O(µ 4 B) in order to reconstruct a full EoS at finite baryon number, electric charge and strangeness chemical potentials. For the second, we go beyond information from the lattice in order to explore the conjectured phase structure, not yet determined by LQCD methods, to assist the experimental HIC community in their search for the critical point. We incorporate critical behavior into this EoS by relying on the principle of universality classes, of which QCD belongs to the 3D Ising Model. This allows one to study the effects of a singularity on the thermodynamical quantities that make up the equation of state used for hydrodynamical simulations of HICs. Additionally, we ensure that these EoSs are valid for applications to HICs by enforcing conditions of strangeness neutrality and fixed charge-to-baryonnumber ratio.
J/ψ and ψ(2S) production in small systems with PHENIX
Authors: Frawley Anthony D.
Published: December 2022

The nuclear modification of J/ψ production has been studied at forward and backward rapidity in the collision systems p+Al, p+Au, and 3He+Au. A comparison of results for p+Au and 3He+Au is presented, with a focus on possible differences caused by the different particle multiplicity in the final state. The modification of ψ(2S) production in p+Au collisions has also been studied at forward and backward rapidity as a function of centrality. The ψ(2S) results complement earlier results at mid-rapidity at RHIC energies and results obtained at LHC energies, revealing a strong rapidity dependence of the ψ(2S) nuclear modification at RHIC energies that is indicative of final state effects.
Λ and Λ¯ global polarization from the core-corona model
Authors: Ayala Alejandro , Domínguez I. , Maldonado I. , Tejeda-Yeomans M. E.
Published: December 2022

We report on work aimed to describe the Λ and Λ¯ global polarizations in a heavy-ion collision environment using the core-corona model, where the source of these hyperons is a high-density core and a less dense corona. We show that the overall properties of the polarization excitation functions can be linked to the relative abundance of Λs and Λ¯s coming from the core versus those coming from the corona. Both global polarizations peak at collision energies √ sNN . 10 GeV. The exact positions and heights of these peaks depend not only on a reversal of relative abundances with collision energy, but also on the centrality class, both related to the QGP volume and lifetime.
Plasma screening and the critical end point in the QCD phase diagram
Authors: Ayala Alejandro , Almeida B. , Cobos-Martínez J. J. , Hernández-Ortiz S. , Hernández L. , Raya A. , Tejeda-Yeomans M. E.
Published: December 2022

In heavy-ion collisions, fluctuations of conserved charges are known to be sensitive observables to probe criticality for the QCD phase transition and to locate the position of the putative critical end point (CEP). In this work we seek to show that the Linear Sigma Model with quarks produces an effective description of the QCD phase diagram in which deviations from a Hadron Resonance Gas are due to plasma screening effects, encoded in the contribution of the ring diagrams. Accounting for these, it is possible to include in the description the effect of long-range correlations. To set the model parameters we use LQCD results for the crossover transition at vanishing chemical potential. Finally, studying baryon number fluctuations from the model, we show that the CEP can be located within the HADES and/or the lowest end of the NICA energy domain, √ sNN ∼ 2 GeV.
Synthesis of light nuclei in hadronic collisions
Authors: Appelshäuser Harald
Published: December 2022

Light-nuclei production yields in heavy-ion collisions are well described in the framework of Statistical Hadronization Models (SHM) but a thorough understanding of the underlying dynamics is still missing. In a complementary approach, synthesis of light nuclei can be modeled in terms of final-state coalescence of nucleons. While yielding an equally good description in central heavy-ion collisions, coalescence predictions are substantially different to those from SHM in small collision systems, in particular for the loosely bound hypertriton. This should allow a firm distinction of the two production scenarios in small collision systems. Comprehensive data on light-nuclei and hypertriton production in pp and p–Pb collisions from the ALICE Collaboration are presented in this contribution. Complementary to the measurement of production yields, the dynamics of nuclear cluster formation can be inferred from the measurement of final-state correlations of nucleons and light nuclei. Preliminary p-d correlation results from high-multiplicity pp collisions at √ 11 s = 13 TeV are compared to calculations based on experimental scattering parameters and discussed in the context of nuclear cluster formation.

À la fin de mai 2020, les cas de COVID-19 chez les résident·es des établissements de soins de longue durée (SLD) en Ontario représentaient 5 157 des 28 499 cas de la province. En Colombie-Britannique (C.-B.), il y avait 339 cas chez les résident·es de ces établissements, comparativement à un total provincial de 2 562 cas. Bien que le secteur des SLD de ces deux provinces présente certaines différences, cet article passe en revue les politiques de dotation en personnel des SLD dans chacune des deux provinces avant la pandémie et compare leurs mesures de prévention de la COVID-19 ayant trait à la dotation pour 2020. Aux politiques de l’Ontario avant 2020 correspondent des ratios personnel-patients inférieurs à ceux de la Colombie-Britannique, ce qui peut avoir eu un effet limitant sur les réactions de l’Ontario à la pandémie. L’établissement de normes ou de lignes directrices ainsi qu’une modification du financement pourraient améliorer la résilience du secteur des SLD en matière de dotation en personnel.

Authors: Barry Mary C. , C Dooley , Barry Mary C.
Published: December 2022

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a well-established technique for managing the open abdominal wound. The decision to intentionally leave an abdominal incision open may be required in the aftermath of surgery for intra-abdominal sepsis or where there is concern regarding abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Untreated ACS following elective, or emergency abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (AAA) is associated with mortality rates of up to 60% [1]. Management of the open abdomen, particularly in obese patient, is challenging and labour-intensive. The aim of wound management in this setting is to contain drainage, manage the peri-wound skin and facilitate closure of the wound. This case report discusses the successful management of a complex abdominal wound in a morbidly obese patient complicated by a colo-cutaneous fistula following emergency abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

Published: December 2022

Background: Endocan, also known as specific molecule-1 in endothelial cell, plays an important role in endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory reaction [1, 2]. Serum endocan, a new biochemical marker of endothelial dysfunction, plays a role in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this study, we investigate there was a difference in serum endocan, CYP2R1, and Haptoglobin protein levels between patients with DM (+) PAH and those with DM (-) PAH.
Methods: 55 volunteer patients who were diagnosed with DM (-) PAH and 24 volunteer patients who came to the same polyclinic and were diagnosed with only DM (+) PAH as a result of the examination were included. Endocan, Haptoglobulin and 25-hydroxylase (CYP2R1) measurements were made with the quantitative Enzyme linked immunosorbent analysis kit.
Results: Serum haptoglobulin levels were 1877.01±564.67 (g/L) in the group with DM (-) PAH, 1745.94±612.59 (g/L) in the group with DM (+) PAH, 25-hydroxylase (CYP2R1) levels were 51.41 (2.53-2722.18) (ng/ml) in the group with DM (-) PAH and 25.36 (9.43-624.57) (ng) in the group with DM (+) PAH. /ml) was detected. Serum endocan levels are: 157.95 (29.16-7026.64) (pg/ml) in the group with DM (-) PAH, and 586.23 (138.79- 3876.51) (pg/ml) in the group with DM (+) PAH was detected.
Conclusion: We compared serum endocan levels in patients with DM(+) PAH and DM(-)PAH, and we found that there was a significant difference (p<0.001 ). We found that serum endocan levels were significantly higher in patients diagnosed with DM(+) PAH compared to the other group.
Bilateral Adnexal Torsion during the Third Trimester of Pregnancy
Authors: S Haddout
Published: December 2022

Acute pelvic pain during pregnancy can pose a problem for differential diagnosis. We report a case of bilateral adnexal torsion in the third trimester of pregnancy. Indeed, this diagnosis may go unnoticed in front of pelvic pain associated with a pregnancy and only an early management can avoid irreversible lesions due to ischemia, which may jeopardize the subsequent prognosis of fertility. Our patient is 28 years old, primiparous, with polycystic ovary syndrome, followed for a pregnancy stimulated by clomiphene citrate. She developed preeclampsia with intrauterine growth retardation during the follow-up of her pregnancy. She presented to the maternity emergency room with sustained uterine contractions at 36 weeks' gestation. The patient had a code red cesarean section for suspected retroplacental hematoma. Intraoperatively, no retroplacental hematoma was found but bilateral torsion of the adnexa with huge polycystic ovaries. Conservative treatment was recommended and the postoperative follow-up of the cesarean section was simple. Adnexal torsion is an emergency that should not be ignored in the presence of any acute pelvic pain in a pregnant woman.

Assistance in writing scientific articles for teachers
Authors: Anwar Khoirul , Asari Slamet
Published: December 2022

Writing scientific papers for junior high school teachers is very necessary, especially how to compose the introduction, review, theory, results and discussion, and conclusions in an easy and applicable way. This activity uses two complementary mentoring methods, namely workshops and assistancing for 15 teachers from four schools in Gresik and Lamongan Regencies. The result of the program shows encouraging and positive gains. 81.8% of participants had a positive perception of the domains of preliminary preparation, theory review, presentation of results, discussion, and conclusion. The result of the interview confirms that the introduction and presentation of the results are parts that are easy to master. However, the review of theory and research methods are difficult part to master. This is because teachers often experience difficulties in integrating theoretical thinking into practical thinking. This assistance seeks to help teachers solve learning problems through a combination of theoretical and practical, and written communication skills in the form of scientific articles.

Published: December 2022

Relatively few studies have explored the communication practices of researchers and journalists working in African contexts. We set out to explore the communication activities undertaken by Nigerian health researchers and journalists, their motivations and the barriers they face in communicating about health topics with lay audiences, as well as their trust in a range of sources of scientific information. The study adopted a survey methodology, recruiting 69 participants at a communications training workshop for both health researchers and journalists. We found high levels of participation in research communication amongst health researchers compared with previous work. While many barriers are similar to those faced by researchers in other contexts, our respondents highlighted that lack of support from managers is a significant hurdle, which has not been highlighted in other studies. Both journalists and researchers primarily communicate science with the aim of educating, informing, entertaining or inspiring their audiences. Regarding trust, both researchers and journalists broadly trust sources linked to science, such as academic journals. However, trust in industry, NGOs and other media was higher amongst journalists than health researchers. Least trust was invested in social media sources, with the exception of material posted on accounts linked to universities.
Mediating Role of Child’s Executive Function Deficits in the Association of Parenting and School Success
Authors: Brezetić Sandra
Published: December 2022

This study aims to explore the role of a child’s executive function deficits in the association of positive and negative parenting styles and practices with school success at early school age. A sample consisted of 174 parents who completed the Parenting Style Questionnaire, the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire, and the Childhood Executive Functioning Inventory. Structural equation modelling analyses revealed complete mediation of authoritarian parenting style, parental hostility/aggression and indifference/neglect on child’s low literacy and mathematics achievement by child’s executive function deficits. In contrast, the mediating role of child’s executive function deficits in the relationship between authoritative parenting style and parental warmth/affection and school success was not confirmed. The results of the study indicate that executive function deficits act as a risk factor in literacy and mathematics achievement of early school-age children whose parents express high levels of negative parenting style and practices. The study suggests that appropriate interventions would have to be focused on parent training and programmes for improving child’s executive functions.

The team of the community engagement service chose to use the topic of multiplication in this activity because the classical topic is still a scourge for students at the elementary to intermediate levels. This leads to students' rejection of mathematics learning although there are various methods of counting, such as mencongak, sempoa, kumon and jarimatika. The challenge of creatively critical thinking becomes the main concept in the learning process/ activity development at SMA Yapis Nimbokrang. The learning approach using the geometric method is introduced and applied in solving simple multiplication problems. The data used to measure the success of the method are the results of the pre- and post-tests. Overall there was an increase in the results of the pretest to the posttest, namely 92% of students liked and could understand the use of the geometric method for multiplication. Also, there are about 22% of students who have not used the geometry method optimally although there is a slight increase in the results of their pretest and posttest. Thus, the use of geometric methods in solving simple multiplication problems at SMA Yapis Nimbokrang is considered successful.Keywords: Multiplication; Geometric-Mean; SMA Yapis Nimbokrang

Analysis of Game Tree Search Algorithms Using Minimax Algorithm and Alpha-Beta Pruning
Authors: Prof. Sumit S Shevtekar  , Mugdha Malpe  , Mohammed Bhaila
Published: December 2022

An important topic of research in computer systems is the optimization of finding the optimum course of action based on different variables, such as the environment's state, the system's goal, etc. The building of the entire state search space, also known as the minimax algorithm, can result from any search algorithm's attempt to find the best feasible solution from among all known possibilities. The recursive backtracking algorithm known as Minimax is used to select the next action in a game of strategy for two players. The algorithm works well because it anticipates that your adversary will play well as well. However, as the tree's depth increases, we observe that minimax frequently investigates repetitive and unlikely situations. We'll also take a look at the minimax extension known as alpha-beta pruning, which prohibits us from considering states that won't be chosen. We will also examine a number of established techniques for resolving two-player games, such as adversarial search and other machine learning-based techniques.

In the digital world, biometrics is used for authentication or recognition to examine and confirm a person's distinguishing physical or behavioral attributes. There are many authentication systems available today that use iris, fingerprint, and face features for identification and verification. Face recognition-based systems are the most popular since they don't always need the user's assistance, are more automated, and are simple to use.
Face recognition paves the way for an innovative way to perceive a human face. Face recognition and identification have been used in access control systems, which have become widely used in security frameworks during the past few years. With the help of biometrics, a facial recognition system can extract facial details from a picture or video. The data is compared to a database of recognized faces to identify a match. Personal identity can be confirmed through facial recognition. This review paper offers a comparison of various facial recognition methods.

People no longer trust charities as a result of the lack of openness, which has caused social investment to stagnate. The donor is unaware of how his money is being used legally. Mistrust of the donor is increased by corruption. In this study, a decentralised network named Charity-Chain that is based on the Ethereum blockchain is proposed. By employing smart contract-based incentives to ensure that their impact is independently validated and available to everyone, it aids social organisations in managing initiatives transparently. For funders (philanthropic organisations, impact investors, and small donors), this makes it much simpler for them to monitor their transactions and, as a result, restore their trust in funding these types of social organisations.

The current Age is witnessing continuous environmental poverty which needs to be taken into thought seriously and the pains must be made for the defense of the nature. The environment is receiving deteriorate day by day with the advent of new knowledge and the selfish thinking of the people. The rising population, massive manufactures, luxurious life, and desert of the people towards trust environment strong; are the main character in polluting the nature. The serial changes, the increase in generating and spreading distinct fatal viruses, climate change, the hazardous effect on the health of the human beings and the non-human beings, universal warming, big hole in the ozone layer, the probability of melting the iceberg, such different disturbing consequences are occurred due to numerous manmade actions and thinking. The unequal nature of the male subjugated society always cast its damaging impact upon the dignity and nonviolent life of the woman. The same male dominated society treats nature carelessly and makes use of the natural resources massively irrespective of thinking with respect to the protection of nature. Nature and the woman possess various similar qualities. Nature and the woman bear close and amicable relation with each other.

Published: December 2022

Hate speech is a crime that has been increasing in recent years, not only in person but also online. There are several causes for this. There is tremendous growth in social media that promotes full freedom of expression through anonymity features. Freedom of expression is a human right, but hate speech directed at individuals or groups on the basis of race, caste, religion, ethnicity or nationality, gender, disability, gender identity, etc. is a violation of that sovereignty. Freedom of expression is a human right, but hate speech directed at individuals or groups on the basis of race, caste, religion, ethnicity or nationality, gender, disability, gender identity, etc. is a violation of that sovereignty. It promotes violence and hate crimes, creates social imbalances, and undermines peace, trust and human rights. Revealing hate speech in social media discourse is a very important but complex task. On the one hand, the anonymity provided by the Internet, especially social networks, makes people more likely to engage in hostile behavior. On the other hand, the desire to express one's thoughts on the Internet has increased, leading to the spread of hate speech. Governments and social media platforms can benefit from detection and prevention technologies, as this kind of bigoted language can wreak havoc on society. We help resolve this dilemma by providing a systematic overview of research on this topic in this survey. This project aims to accurately predict various forms by addressing different categories of hate individually and examining a set of text mining functions. Hate speech detection

Published: December 2022

Through the use of relevant data to build an algorithm, machine learning primarily aims to automate human help. A subset of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) focuses on the development of systems that can learn from past data, recognize patterns, and reach logical conclusions with little to no human involvement. The concept of cyber security involves guarding against hostile attack on digital systems such computers, servers, mobile devices, networks, and the data they are connected to. Accounting for cyber security where machine learning is used and using machine learning to enable cyber security are the two main components of combining cyber security and ML. We may benefit from this union in a number of ways, including by giving machine learning models better security, enhancing the effectiveness of cyber security techniques, and supporting the efficient detection of zero day threats with minimal human involvement. In this review paper, we combine ML and cyber security to talk about two distinct notions. We also talk about the benefits, problems, and difficulties of combining ML and cyber security. In addition, we explore several attacks and present a thorough analysis of various tactics in two different categories. Finally, we offer a few suggestions for future research.

Authors: Manisha Makwana  , Dr. Rocky Upadhyay  , Dr. Sheshang Degadwala  , Dhairya Vyas
Published: December 2022

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is sometimes called chronic kidney failure. The kidneys eliminate waste and surplus fluids from the circulation and excrete them as urine. In severe chronic renal disease, fluid, electrolytes, and waste products may build up in the body. HIV patients with additional risk factors for renal disease must have kidney function evaluated annually. HIV may damage kidney filters. The filters won't work properly. CKD has five stages, with more severe symptoms from stage 1 to stage 5. If chronic kidney disease continues to stage 4 or 5, our bodies might accumulate fluid and waste. Machine learning categories HIV-positive CKD patients based on their features. Machine learning relies on feature selection. This research uses feature selection and classification to accurately predict chronic renal illness.

Published: December 2022

Early detection and treatment of face bone fractures reduce long-term problems. Fracture identification needs CT scan interpretation, but there aren't enough experts. To address these issues, researchers are classifying and identifying objects. Categorization-based studies can't pinpoint fractures. Proposed Study Convolutional neural networks with transfer learning may detect maxillofacial fractures. CT scans were utilized to retrain and fine-tune a convolutional neural network trained on non-medical images to categorize incoming CTs as "Positive" or "Negative." Model training employed maxillofacial fractogram data. If two successive slices had a 95% fracture risk, the patient had a fracture. In terms of sensitivity/person for facial fractures, the recommended strategy beat the machine learning model. The recommended approach may minimize physicians' effort identifying facial bone fractures in face CT. Even though technology can't fully replace a radiologist, the recommended technique may be helpful. It reduces human error, diagnostic delays, and hospitalization costs.
