Developmental considerations for the model were based on the frameworks of established open universities in some developed and developing countries, the condition of information technology infrastructure in Philippine schools, the teachers' competence, skills and willingness to take part in online trainings, and the challenges identified after the implementation of an exploratory online training program in the country.
Adopting the ideas of the Transactional Model of distance education system, the proposed model stresses the terms of reference and interrelationships of the three model proponents, the three main actors, and the logistic support. The model proponents are comprised of the program planners and developers, including the material developers and organizers, even the training administrator and manager, while the three main actors include the tutors, the trainees, as well as the program director.
Book Review - Breaking the Barriers Changing the Way We Support the Physical and Mental Health of Police Officers
Authors: Weatherford Steven
Published: March 2024

In Breaking the Barriers Changing the Way We Support the Physical and Mental Health of Police Officers, Ronald A Rufo, EdD, uses personal stories as well as interviews with fellow officers and mental health providers to explain how the police culture and calls police officers handle in their careers create stress and mental health issues. Rufo identifies the responses to those stressors and solutions to address the identified mental health challenges. The book closes with thoughts and recommendations from many of the police officers and mental health professionals interviewed for the book. In the last few years, law enforcement administrators, mental health providers, and legislatures have placed a higher priority on addressing mental health issues among law enforcement officers. In addition, recruitment and retention has been a challenge for most agencies. By addressing police officers mental health, a department can develop healthy and more resilient officers. This benefits the officer, their family, and ultimately the citizens served by the officer.

Published: March 2024

Objective. The objective of this paper is to present and document a specific case of breast reconstruction using an adapted Type IV Keystone Flap technique, with a droplet-shaped design with a reduced flap ratio, and to identify the qualities of this method.

Case Report. A 41-year-old woman, with a history of myocardial infarction and low ejection fraction, underwent a lumpec- tomy, resulting in a lower medial quadrant deficit in her left breast. After she developed skin and tissue necrosis and infec- tion, implementing the Type IV Keystone Flap effectively addressed the deficit, ensuring sufficient coverage. The flap extended dropwise beneath the deficit, progressing anteriorly towards the upper rectus abdominis, with a ratio of 2.5:1. The flap’s novel droplet shape allowed for the utilization of fewer perforators, while ensuring adequate blood supply and tissue coverage, leading to improved perfusion and aesthetic outcome.

Conclusion. The application of the adapted Type IV Keystone Flap highlights its capacity as a versatile and effective method for breast reconstruction post-lumpectomy. With the advantages of a short learning curve, easy execution, and acceptable risk profile, it offers a valuable alternative for patients who may not be suitable for more complex surgeries. Further research is recommended to confirm its broader applicability and to conduct a comparative analysis with other techniques.

Authors:   Economic Research Institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Telerig Bakardjieva Radostina
Published: March 2024

The collective monograph of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Adelina Milanova and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pavlinka Naydenova "Corporate Social Capital as a Management Challenge. Socioanthropological and Behavioral Determination" is devoted to an extremely topical economic issue, still insufficiently illuminated in the economic literature. This gives the book an innovative look and contributes to its uniqueness compared to other similar works and studies. Well known to the academic community and established scholars, the authors skillfully apply an interdisciplinary approach that combines fundamental theoretical frameworks in scientific fields such as economics, management, sociology, socio-economic anthropology, social psychology, etc. They systematize the managerial challenges of corporate social capital as "soft governance infrastructure" and explore in depth its socioanthropological and behavioral determinacy.

Published: March 2024

Wear testing of engineering materials is an important aspect in evaluating their performance and durability. This study aims to investigate the wear-resistant ability of aluminum composites reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The composite manufacturing process was carried out by infiltrating CNTs into the aluminum matrix through powder metallurgy method. Tests were conducted using two methods, namely pressing and sintering with temperature variations of 0oC (non sintering), 400oC, 500oC, 600oC and 700oC. The results showed that the specific wear value on the specimen obtained the best value at a sintering temperature of 400oC with a value of 0.003632850 mm3/kg.m and the highest value at a sintering temperature of 700oC with a value of 0.042771207 mm3/kg.m. And the wear rate on the specimen obtained the best value at a sintering temperature of 400oC with a value of 0.447887285 mm3/s and the highest value at a sintering temperature of 700oC with a value of 1.155387594 mm3/s. This shows that the addition of temperatures greater than 400oC has a major influence on the specific wear value and wear rate of sintering products. In addition, this method is also a reference for further researchers in developing aluminum carbon nanotube technology to obtain optimal results.

Authors: Muhammad Umar Shahzad
Published: March 2024

Interpersonal disagreement among employees at the workplace is an important predictor of perceived stress in general and for virtual and digitally connected workplace in particular. Such perceived stress may potentially lead the employees towards social undermining. This study was a quantitative study and data was collected from different organizations which were primarily based on information and communication technology (ICT) based systems for testing a serial mediation model containing task conflict and relationship conflict as serial mediators. Statistical analysis had shown a significant indirect effect on outcome variable of social undermining by the serial mediators. Discussion has been made with reference to contextual factors such as those in the context of mindfulness theory and other factors that might have impacted this relationship of variables. Such a relationship of variables has not been tested on employees working in virtual and digital setup where psychological contract also plays a part towards conflict generation and its handling leading associated with job stress. Finally, this paper recommends useful future research direction for the contemporary researchers.

Authors: Muhammad Saeed Iqbal  , Sofi Mohd Fikri
Published: March 2024

Islamic Easy House Financing (IEHF) increased from RS. 6.8 billion to RS 23.3 billion over 10 years. Identifying the factors that affect the satisfaction of both Muslim and non-Muslim clients with Islamic Easy House Financing (IEHF) is significant. This research then considers the major variables that impact Pakistan's choice of Islamic Easy House Finance (IEHF). Questionnaires were distributed to 160 employees of Meezan Islamic Bank. The current study employed a testing strategy called random sampling. The questionnaire was divided into two segments. One segment included data about the segments, while the other segment focused on the factors that influence how Muslims finance their Islamic Easy House (IEHF). The results demonstrate that several significant variables impact the choice of Islamic Easy House Financing (IEHF), including circumstances, management quality, integrity, prominence in the media, and social impact. The most reliable indication is reputation, as most customers feel comfortable choosing Islamic Easy House Finance (IEHF) because Islamic Meezan Bank has a strong reputation and vision. The study needs to be completely structured. The focus also refers to representatives of a single financial institution. Future research may involve personnel from various Islamic financial institutions. Policymakers and directors could use the tests suggested in the current study as a guide for enhancing Islamic Meezan Bank products and services. There will be an article published on Pakistan's Meezan Islamic Bank as part of the study. This research is the first to examine Pakistan's easy-house-choice Shari'ah laws. For experts and scholars concerned about advancements in Pakistan's Meezan Islamic Bank's banking sector, the findings made throughout this research process will be of the utmost importance.

Authors: Islam Md. Zahidul , Mostafa Md.Golam
Published: March 2024

Groundwater is one of the most significant natural resources on earth and also stands as the largest source of all-purpose water in Bangladesh. The higher concentrations of iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and lead (Pb) in water constitute a threat to human health and the environment. The research aimed to assess the seasonal variations of heavy metal concentrations, including Fe, Mn, and Pb, and the water type controlling the geochemistry of groundwater. A total of sixty groundwater samples were collected over a year in three seasons and analyzed for several physicochemical parameters using the standard analysis methods The highest concentrations of Fe, Mn, and Pb in investigated groundwater samples were found to be 3.69, 2.50, and 0.17 mg/L, respectively. The study observed that the higher concentrations of Fe and Mn were in the pre-monsoon but Pb was in the post-monsoon. The contaminations of Fe, Mn, and Pb in the groundwater follows the order Fe > Mn > Pb in three seasons, and their concentrations of abundance follow the seasons: PRM > POM > MON. The groundwater samples showed the dominance of Ca++, Mg++, and HCO3-, indicating temporary hardness and the Ca-Mg-HCO3, hydrochemical  facies, controlling the groundwater geochemistry in the study area. These findings would provide an in-depth understanding of water quality, potential risks to human health, and coping mechanisms for sustainable drinking water management.

Authors: Paixão Thiago M. , Boeres Maria C. S. , Oliveira-Santos Thiago
Published: March 2024

This work addresses the intricate task of reconstructing mechanically-shredded documents with potential application in forensic investigation. Our primary contributions consist of two novel deep learning approaches for fully automatic reconstruction tested on real-world shredded data that achieved state-of-the-art accuracy in more realistic scenarios. As a second major contribution, we introduce a novel framework for semi-automatic reconstruction inspired by the principles of active learning. The core of our proposal is a recommendation module that smartly flags potential errors in the reconstruction output (permutation of shreds) for human review, enabling even more enhanced reconstructions. The mentioned contributions and additional outcomes (datasets and experimental protocols) resulted in five relevant publications: three journal articles and two international conferences, including the premier IEEE / CVF Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR).
Interpretation and Hierarchical methods for Dimensionality Reduction
Authors: Marcílio-Jr Wilson E. , Eler Danilo M.
Published: March 2024

High-dimensional data analysis is a ubiquitous task in practical and research activities. Dimensionality Reduction (DR) techniques are usually employed as they map highdimensional data to lower spaces and allow for knowledge discovery. This thesis focuses on the interpretability and representation aspects of non-linear DR approaches’ output, such as t-SNE and UMAP. That is, we propose methods for interpreting and hierarchically learning embeddings. To accomplish these goals, the following main research activities were carried out, representing separate but interconnected works: (1) a sampling method in visual space (R2) that can preserve class boundary structures while keeping outliers visible; (2) a technique for understanding cluster formation by leveraging statistical tests on the feature values after dimensionality reduction; (3) we advance the state-of-the-art by adapting SHAP to explain cluster formation after dimensionality reduction; (4) a novel hierarchical DR technique that employs an adaptive kernel for global/local neighborhood learning while preserving context across embeddings.

Published: March 2024

No contexto do S-PLUS (Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey), um projeto de imageamento do céu do hemisfério sul em 12 bandas fotométricas, foram desenvolvidos anteriormente métodos baseados em aprendizado de máquina para a classificação de três tipos de objetos (estrelas, galáxias e quasares). Um dos trabalhos utilizou dados de catálogo, incluindo objetos com dados faltantes, enquanto o outro utilizou imagens, sem objetos com dados faltantes. Neste trabalho apresentamos dois avanços: avaliamos os dois métodos em condições de igualdade e propomos a utilização de técnicas de ensemble para combinar os dois tipos de classificadores. Experimentos realizados com o quarto Data Release do S-PLUS mostram que o ensemble proposto supera ambos os métodos anteriores com respeito aos objetos mais difíceis de serem classificados.

What Does the Law Have to Do with Virtue?
Authors: Sanford Jonathan J. ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Published: March 2024

In light of truths expressed by Thomas Aquinas and in lawyers’ oaths, lawyers sworn to uphold the civil law must work toward the goal of teaching and gradually encouraging citizens to have the inner virtues that would make civil law itself irrelevant. This follows from claims central to the civic and the Catholic intellectual traditions: the civil law is a teacher, its effect ought to be the promotion of virtue, and virtuous living is constitutive of the common good. Natural law undergirds and gives substance to the civil law, which nonetheless should only demand under fear of punishment what is followable for the majority of men, given the needs of good public order and the habits and customs of their country.
The extended osteoderm shield in Paleosuchus sp.: a dwarf crocodylian adaptation to the equatorial forest ecosystem?
Authors: CLARAC Francois , CAMPOS Zilca , MARQUIS Olivier
Published: March 2024

The crocodylian dwarf species (i.e., Osteolaemus sp. and Paleosuchus sp.) that live in the equatorial forests all share the peculiarity to present an osteoderm shield which extends beyond the dorsal area that lies between the skull and the caudal crest symphysis. Here we study both the morphology and the microanatomy of the osteoderms in Paleosuchus palpebrosus (Cuvier, 1807), in order to both assess the distribution of bone ornamentation over the osteoderm shield, and to compare the porosity between the dorsal osteoderms with the non-dorsal osteoderms. Since both the ornamental pit excavation and the bone porosity are relevant proxies to the osteoderm blood vessel content, we mapped the distribution of the vascular network within the osteoderm shield in P. palpebrosus. Our results show that both the bone ornamentation and the bone porosity are significantly more pronounced within the dorsal shield osteoderms. Our results suggest that the dorsal osteoderms may be involved in heat transfer via the superficial blood vessels that are located in the ornamental pits if they are artificially exposed to a basking lamp in captive conditions; it is however unlikely to be the case under the canopy of the equatorial forest since the sun exposure is poor. We therefore hypothesize that the dwarf crocodylian extended osteoderm shield mostly consists of a labile calcium resource that would allow to buffer the diet variations which are related to the various equatorial forest niches (i.e., streams, excavated pools, jungle floors, caves).
Does digital village construction contribute to improving food security?
Authors: Huang Minmin , Bai Yanhu
Published: March 2024

The issue of food security has become a global challenge, and it is therefore crucial to seek measures to ensure food security. As an emerging economic model, the digital economy is regarded as the most effective tool for the modernization of agricultural development. As a large food-producing country, China faces serious problems of agricultural non-point source pollution and food loss and waste. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of digital village construction on food security. We measure the level of digital village construction and food security by entropy method and use the spatial Durbin model to analyze them. In this paper, we found that digital village construction facilitates food security not only in the region but also in neighboring regions. In addition, we found that the promotion effect is significant in main grain producing regions, while the opposite result is found in non-main grain producing regions. We hold that the application of the digital economy in the countryside has played an obvious role in promoting food security in main grain producing provinces, and provides important experimental evidence for reference to ensure food security in the future.

Hari Tuhan dan Implikasinya bagi Orang Percaya Masa Kini
Authors: Santoso Yudi Santos
Published: March 2024

Topik mengenai hari Tuhan dikalangan orang percaya masa kini sudah mulai menurun. Permasalahan utamanya adalah kurangnya pemahaman yang jelas tentang konsep Hari Tuhan. Secara teologis hari Tuhan itu merupakan rencana Tuhan yang sudah menjadi keputusan Tuhan sendiri, dan sebagai tindakan Tuhan dalam menjawab segala respon manusia terhadap segala perintah-Nya.  Menyadari bahwa Tuhan berdaulat mutlak atas seluruh kehidupan dari setiap orang, merupakan pola pikir yang bijaksana. Dengan demikian, orang percaya mampu meresponi segala sesuatu yang terjadi dalam kehidupan dengan sikap yang positif. Sesungguhnya di dalam hukuman Tuhan terkandung kasih Tuhan yang begitu besar. Tuhan memberi hukuman bagi umat-Nya sebagai peringatan dan memberi suatu pelajaran teologis bahwa Tuhan memperhatikan perkara yang bersifat kekal selain dari perkara yang bersifat sementara dan fana. Berita tentang hukuman pada saat hari Tuhan itu juga merupakan peringatan Tuhanuntuk umat-Nya agar umatNya segera bertobat dari dosa-dosa dan perbuatan jahat. Agar umat-Nya segera berbalik kepada Tuhan dengan hidup memohon bimbingan dan takut akan Tuhan sepenuh hati. Pertobatan itu dibuktikan dengan hidup beribadah hanya kepada Tuhan, memperhatikan kebenaran dan keadilan serta menghargai hak asasi sesama manusia sebagai citra dan gambar Allah. Melalui pendekatan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan menggunakan studi Pustaka, artikel ini bertujuan menyajikan sebuah wacana teologis tentang hari Tuhan dan implikasinya bagi orang percaya masa kini. Hasilnya adalah menemukan makna dan pengertian tentang hari Tuhan yang komprehensif, karena hari Tuhan merupakan respons Tuhan terhadap segala tindakan manusia. Implikasinya berkaitan dengan implikasi teologis, etis, ekklesiologis dan eskatalogis.
