Published: July 2023

This experiment aimed to study the effect of dietary thyme and turmeric essential oils supplementation on growth performance, nutrient utilization and economics of Japanese quails. For this purpose, a total of 180 six-day-old Japanese quail chicks were randomly assigned into five different treatment groups, each with three replicates (12 birds per replicate). The experiment was conducted for 35 days. Different treatment groups of Japanese quails were designated as T0 (Basal diet without essential oils), T1 (Basal diet with 0.2% thyme essential oil), T2 (Basal diet with 0.3% turmeric essential oil, T3 (Basal diet with 0.125% thyme + 0.075% turmeric essential oils), and T4 (Basal diet with 0.075% thyme + 0.125 % turmeric essential oils). At the end of experiment, it was found that dietary supplementation of thyme and turmeric essential oils reduced feed consumption, improved body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio, with Japanese quails of T4 group showing best performance during overall experimental period. The feed cost per kg weight gain was minimum in treatment T4 over other treatment groups. Addition of thyme and turmeric essential oils in diet significantly enhanced nutrient utilization in Japanese quails. In conclusion, supplementing thyme and turmeric essential oils in combination at 0.075% and 0.125% of feed improved growth performance, utilization of nutrients and reduced feed cost per kg weight gain in Japanese quails.

The study aimed to determine the effect of Annona squamosa L. leaf extract through drinking water on the growth of cockerel᾿s and cholesterol content of cockerel meat. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD), with five treatments and six replications, each experimental unit consisted of 5 cockerels. The treatments consisted of chicken without added sugar apple leaf extract in drinking water (T0), added sugar apple leaf extract @1% (T1), 2% (T2), 3% (T3), 4% (T4). The addition of sugar apple leaf extract drinking water had no significant effect on the TPC variable (CFU/g) in the digestive tract, while E. coli and coliform were lower than the control (T0). The final weight and weight gain of cockerels that received T3 treatment were the highest compared to other treatments. The addition of sugar apple extract through drinking water had no significant effect on the variables of ration consumption and ration conversion. Cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, and HDL in the meat of cockerels were not affected by additional treatment of sugar apple extract in drinking water. It can be concluded that the addition of Annona squamosa Linn leaf extract through drinking water has significant positive effects on the weight gain of cockerels.

Published: July 2023

Pendidikan merupakan sarana untuk mengembangkan potensi setiap individu agar menjadi manusia yang berharga dan berkualitas. Kualitas manusia berasal dari nilai-nilai yang memungkinkan memiliki keutamaan pikiran, perkataan dan tindakan yang berbeda. Manusia memiliki potensi daya pikir, potensi energi fisik, dan potensi keterampilan. Untuk membangun karakter manusia harus diselaraskan dengan potensi individu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan filsafat nilai dan manifestasinya dalam pendidikan Islam. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian library research dengan pendekatan kualitatif, yakni penelitian yang dilakukan melalui pengumpulan data-data atau karya tulis ilmiah, berupa jurnal, buku-buku atau literatur lainnya sebagai sumber rujukan. Teknik pengolahan dan penganalisaan data menggunakan metode content analysis untuk mengukur tingkat akurasi dan proses penarikan kesimpulan terhadap pesan. Langkah-langkah yang dilakukan adalah deskriptif, analisis isi secara kritis, dan korelatif. Hasil dari peneltian ini, pertama, secara etimologis, nilai berarti harga, perkiraan angka atau sifat penting yang bermanfaat bagi manusia. Namun dari sudut pandang filosofis, nilai adalah suatu standar yang ada pada diri manusia dalam bentuk baik, benar, dan indah. Kedua, teori nilai dalam filsafat nilai (aksiologis) seiring sejalan dengan pendidikan akhlak dalam konsep pendidikan Islam, di mana filsafat nilai bertujuan untuk mengungkapkan hakikat yang baik dan yang benar. Sementara pendidikan Islam bertujuan untuk mengkaji hakikat yang baik dan yang benar. Pemahaman dan pengamalan akan hakikat kebaikan dan kebenaran itulah yang melahirkan manusia yang bernilai atau manusia yang berkualitas. Ketiga, bahwa dalam pandangan filosof, manusia yang bernilai itu dikenal dengan insan kamil. Sedangkan dalam perspektif pendidikan Islam di Indonesia lebih populer dengan manusia Indonesia seutuhnya. Juga senantiasa menjaga hubungannya dengan sesama manusia dan lingkungannya, sehingga lebih berguna bagi orang lain.

Authors: Abilasha D. , Jeysiha C. , Palanisamy P. , Kumaresan S.
Published: July 2023

In the present study, a few D ring substituted pyrazolecarboxamide derivatives were synthesized from the key intermediate 2,3-dihydrothiopyrano[3,2-c]thiochromen-4(5H)-one(2). In order to determine the structure-activity relationships, the pyrazolecarboxamide derivatives (7 a-m) were analyzed for anticancer activity and molecular docking studies were carried out   against two cancer cell lines (HeLa and HCT116). The structures of all these compounds have treating been elucidated on the basis of their spectral data. We performed docking studies with the selective inhibitor proteins 4J96 (HeLa) and 5FGK (HCT 116). The binding energy of compound 7k (-9.6 Kcal/mol-HeLa and -10.1 Kcal/mol-HCT116) was found to be lower than that of all other pyrazole derivatives as well as standard doxorubicin. Furthermore, compound 7k was also found to be a promising anticancer agent against 4J96 and 5FGK cells, given its significant inhibitory effect [IC50=20.56μM (HeLa) and 18.19μM (HCT116)] compared to doxorubicin [IC50=21.32 μM (HeLa) and 19.58 μM (HCT116)]. Hence it is understood that, the pyrazole carboxamide derivatives (7k) has selectivity for inhibitor proteins having anticancer activity against HeLa and HCT116 compared with doxorubicin.

Authors: Manitsaris Sotiris
Published: July 2023

La vision par ordinateur est la seule technologie permettant la reconnaissance des gestes musicaux des doigts, sans interférence entre le musicien et son instrument, et à un faible coût. Le système PianOrasis propose deux approches pour la reconnaissance : a) la reconnaissance statique, ou reconnaissance des doigtés, et b) la reconnaissance dynamique. La reconnaissance statique s’applique à chaque image de la vidéo, en comparant les caractéristiques de l’image avec le modèle déterministe du geste. La reconnaissance dynamique présuppose la modélisation stochastique du geste et elle s’applique à un ensemble de séquences d’images.

The Three Images of War and Indo-Pak Conflicts: An Investigation of Causal Factors
Authors: Gillani Aleem , Bukhari Syed Waqas Haider , Hayat Kanwal
Published: July 2023

The agenda of decolonization is animosity. Using Kenneth Waltz’s three images of war (individual, state level, and systemic), this article thoroughly examines the three major conflicts that have broken out between India and Pakistan. Since both countries gained independence from the British, ties between India and Pakistan, have been tense. South Asian instability directly results from repeated conflicts between the two countries. The dread of a nuclear conflict that could wipe out all human civilization is a new factor in the India-Pakistan conflict, exacerbated by the spread of nuclear weapons in the region. Foreign strategists and actors from both nations have tried to understand what drives tensions between these longtime adversaries. However, only some have looked at the Indo-Pak conflict from three images of war. This research uses Waltz’s three images of war as a prism to analyse the wars that have broken out between India and Pakistan and offer suggestions for how the two war-weary neighbors can avert another catastrophic conflict. The article is grounded in qualitative research. It investigates the past to find relationships and causes that have modern-day relevance. Structural Realism (Neorealism), primarily articulated by Kenneth Waltz, serves as the theoretical foundation for this investigation. Additionally, this article speculates the likelihood of future confrontations between India and Pakistan based on Waltz’s three conceptions of war.

Authors: Tawfeek Mohammed Mohammed Mahdy , Tohamy Dalia Mohamed Aly , Ahmed Hanan Mohamed Abdel Hamid , Rady Ahmed M. Nashaat Ali
Published: July 2023

Objective

The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of transepithelial accelerated cross-linking (Epi-on CXL) on the macular function and morphology in progressive keratoconus.

Patients and Methods

The study included 25 patients with progressive keratoconus with age ranged between 18 and 32 years. Epi-On Accelerated CXL was done for all cases. Evaluation was performed 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively after transepithelial (Epi-on) accelerated CXL by Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multifocal electroretinography (mf-ERG).

Results

The central foveal thickness (CFT) decreased from 165.1 ± 21.5 µm to 163.4 ± 24.2 µm 2 weeks postoperatively to 164.8 ± 23.9 µm 6 weeks postoperatively, with no statistically significant difference. The preoperative retinal response density (RRD) decreased in macular ring 1 (foveal area of 2.8 degrees) from 179.5 ± 52.1 nV/deg2 preoperatively to 134.7 ± 43.2 nV/deg2 and 146.7 ± 41.6 nV/deg2 in 2 and 6 weeks, respectively postoperatively with statistically significant difference (p = 0.012), while the other 4 rings showed statistically insignificant difference (p >0.05) .On the other hand, implicit time latency (Pl) showed statistically insignificant difference between preoperative and postoperative values (p >0.05) in all macular rings.

Conclusion

There is a minimal change in macular morphology after Epi-on accelerated CXL in progressive keratoconus, however, no significant change in macular function without any structural changes in progressive keratoconus 6 weeks postoperatively. A longer follow-up period studies are recommended to provide more information.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF A VARIABLE BUOYANCY SYSTEM FOR LOW DEPTH OPERATION
Authors: Tiwari B.K. , Sharma Dr. Rajiv , Kim Tae-Wan
Published: July 2023

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are used for the underwater survey both in coastal areas and deep sea without any human intervention during their operations. However, high energy consumptions required by the thrusters of the AUV’s adversely affect their performance such as range and endurance, etc. Herein, we have presented a novel design and development of a standalone variable buoyancy system for autonomous underwater vehicle and investigated the numerical and experimental analysis of Variable Buoyancy System (VBS) in standalone mode. Design idea is based upon the ‘Pump Driven Variable Buoyancy System (PDVBS)’ using ‘Water Hydraulic Variable Buoyancy System (WHVBS)’ method to control the buoyancy using a diaphragm type positive displacement pump (PDP) with capacity of the maximum buoyancy change rate of 4.5 kg/min. Detail experimental and simulation performance of the developed VBS has been investigated. Developed VBS is tested for maximum depth of 5 m and compared the performance of the experimental and simulation results. Presented results demonstrate that designed VBS is effective in changing buoyancy and controlling heave velocities and that will result to achieve the higher range and endurance and better performance in rescue/attack operations.
Opening a hermeneutic space for spiritual care practices
Authors: Esperandio Mary Rute Gomes , Leget Carlo
Published: July 2023

Spiritual care is considered an intrinsic aspect of good palliative care practices. However, this is a challenge for health professionals. There is a lack of scientifically based non-religious approaches to identify and meet patients’ and families’ existential/spiritual needs. This article aims to present a tool for spiritual care named Diamond Model, or Ars Moriendi, developed by a Dutch researcher who designed it from elements drawn from his empirical research. The model is theoretically based on non-moral and non-religious anthropological frameworks, and it is open to people from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds. Both chaplains and the multidisciplinary teams can use this hermeneutic tool. It helps to better understand and meet the spiritual needs of patients and families in the dimensions that involve autonomy, suffering, relations, unfinished business, and hope. The presentation of the Diamond Model to the Brazilian audience is also an invitation to test and evaluate it in future studies investigating spirituality in palliative care in Brazil.

V kardiochirurgii se někdy setkáváme se starými pacienty, kteří vyžadují operaci srdce, avšak vzhledem ke svému vysokému věku jsou již pro operaci velmi rizikoví. Lékař v tomto případě řeší etické dilema, zda pacienta ve vysokém věku ještě s vyšším rizikem operovat a nabídnout mu takto šanci na prodloužení anebo zlepšení kvality života, anebo ho pro operaci odmítnout kvůli vysokému věku. To může být chápáno jako diskriminace kvůli věku.
On sovereignty
Authors: Svantesson Dan , Haataja Samuli , Ireland-Piper Danielle , Chen Kuan-Wei (David)
Published: July 2023

The concept of sovereignty is more important than ever in the Cyber context, yet it is poorly understood. With this article, we are seeking to contribute towards a shared understanding of the concept of sovereignty by succinctly addressing the following six, interrelated, questions:

Who can claim to have sovereignty;
Over what can one have sovereignty;
What are the consequences of having sovereignty over something;
Who can violate sovereignty;
What is the threshold for violating sovereignty; and
What are the consequences of violating sovereignty?

However, this article is not limited to a descriptive account of the law as it stands today. A purely descriptive account would not provide a full picture of the complex concept of sovereignty, and we have felt it appropriate to enter the territory of law reform options in parts of the discussion.
While sovereignty is a technology-neutral concept and the article addresses it as such, particular attention is directed at sovereignty in the cyber context.
The influence of yeast format and pitching rate on Scotch malt whisky fermentation kinetics and congeners
Authors: Reid Struan , Speers Alex , Lumsden William , Willoughby Nicholas , Maskell Dawn
Published: July 2023

Yeast format and pitching rate are variables which can be easily manipulated in a distillery environment but are seldom altered. Fermentations using dried and liquid yeast were studied at laboratory scale and compared by application of a 4-parameter logistic model to measurements of the decline in apparent extract during fermentation. Congener analysis of new make distillate allowed comparison between compounds of interest produced during fermentation.  The liquid yeast format demonstrated a significant reduction (p<0.05) in lag time, which was 68% shorter than dried yeast. Despite this, longer overall fermentation times were observed due to a slower exponential phase as compared to the dried yeast format. Alteration of the yeast pitching rate using dried and liquid formats, demonstrated that high rates resulted in reduced lag times. The maximum fermentation rates (Vmax) were assessed from the fermentation models and no consistent trend could be identified. Dried yeast was observed to achieve its maximum fermentation rate when underpitched. Substantially higher Vmax ­values were obtained with overpitched liquid yeast fermentations, resulting in faster fermentations, compared to underpitched liquid yeast fermentations. The liquid yeast format created more esters compared to dried yeast. The concentration of ethyl esters generally trended downwards for fermentations pitched with less yeast which fully attenuated. By combining the results of these studies, distillers can make informed decisions to optimise spirit character, quality, and distillery production.

Blood disorders are conditions that impact the blood’s ability to function correctly. There is a range of different symptoms depending on the type. There are several different types of blood disorders such as Leukemia, chronic myelocytic leukemia, lymphoma, myelofibrosis, polycythemia, Thrombocytopenia, anemia and Leukocytosis. Some resolve completely with therapy, or do not cause symptoms and do not affect overall lifespan Some are chronic and lifelong but do not affect how long you live. Other blood disorders, like sickle cell disease and blood cancers, can be fatal. Thereneeds to capture of hidden information in the medical data for detecting diseases in the early stage. In this study, we apply the Ensemble Learning technique for classification. We compared our result with other classification methods. The results show that Ensemble Learning methods can predict the Tumor of blood disease better than the other classifiers.

In this paper, the problem studied is the formation of student tolerance through multicultural-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning in public schools. This study puts forward religious values, namely tolerance. The importance of multicultural-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) not only instills religious values ​​in students, but also fosters an attitude of tolerance and inclusiveness (openness) in progress.  In addition, there is still a lack of understanding of tolerance, difference, diversity, and progress in the lives of students, which causes the occurrence of multicultural values ​​in schools to be lost and not properly actualized. The flow of modernization and globalization is also one part that affects the multicultural crisis in students. An attitude of tolerance, respect and respect for every difference is the basic capital for students in responding to and understanding every difference in life, because this is very much in line with the values ​​of Islamic teachings, namely respecting every difference between fellow humans. Thus the tolerant attitude taught in learning Islamic religious education can provide an understanding of the meaning and meaning of each progression so that students avoid exclusivity (closed), consider themselves the most right and think others are wrong. The research method used is qualitative research with data collection techniques using observation, interviews and documentation and is supported by various relevant references. This paper provides an alternative, namely "How to form student tolerance through multicultural-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning in schools both in conceptual and practical settings" so that students have an inclusive attitude in accepting any differences, diversity or advancement

Nowadays, the issue of national personality that is fading away and far from being noble is echoing again, this is triggered by various incidents in Indonesian society. Personality seems to be experiencing complex and complicated problems. So the contribution of Islamic Education which is a field of science that studies humans with various aspects is required to be present in this realm. Why is that because Islam is the religion of Allah which was revealed to the Apostles as Allah's guidance and grace for mankind, which guarantees the welfare of his material and spiritual, worldly and spiritual life. Islamic education is in trouble. The acceptance of the dichotonomic principle between the religious sciences and the general sciences is an indication of the fragility of the philosophical basis of Islamic education. This dichotonomy is clearly seen in the dualism of the education system in Muslim countries, including Indonesia. In fact, Islamic education wants education to be able to stimulate humans to think independently in order to face a good and happy life. This is the essential meaning of the prophet Muhammad SAW's prophetic mission, namely to educate humans, lead to the path of Allah SWT, and teach to uphold a healthy, prosperous, material, spiritual, just, and harmonious society.

Prophet Muhammad SAW was sent to develop the quality of human life, purify morals and equip him with the provisions needed to face life in this world and the hereafter. The greatest mission of the Prophet Muhammad SAW was to perfect human morals, which basically means that humans have a healthy soul and personality, Al-Qur'an mentions the Prophet Muhammad SAW as the best example in this regard. So to achieve this direction requires a good and simultaneous strategy

COVID-19 pandemic hit the world hard affecting more than 500 million people. In the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic era, there has been various information on the effect of COVID-19 infected or exposed pregnant women on their neonates. SARS-CoV-2 virus causes a hyperinflammatory syndrome in neonates similar to what may be seen in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) but due to transplacental transfer of antibodies rather than a neonatal infection with COVID-19. Case reports about a new pattern of disease, called multisystem inflammatory syndrome of neonate (MIS-N), have been recently appearing. We reviewed the perinatal history, clinical features, and outcomes of a preterm neonate with features consistent with MIS-N related to maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection that was managed in Texas, United States, in 2022. The infant presented with multisystem organ failure at 12 to 15 days of life. All extensive work up for infectious causes on the neonate were negative. Her inflammatory biomarkers were elevated, and she improved with steroids and supportive treatment. The neonate’s anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG was positive and the IgM was negative. Though rare, we speculate that maternal SARS-CoV-2 and other autoantibodies crossing the placenta caused MIS-N. Further studies and reviews are needed to evaluate pathophysiology and to further evaluate the available treatments.
Mathematical models for the dynamics of health related risks associated with alcoholism and its control strategy in Tanzania
Authors:   , Mayengo Maranya
Published: July 2023

Alcoholic behavior has continually posed health challenges in many communities for decades. Referring to Tanzanian situation, this study presents a more realistic model for the dynamics of health risks associated with alcoholism. The model considered a population proportion that has social cultural protection from alcohol consumption. In the context of this study, such protec tion emanated from religious beliefs practiced in the country. Three versions of the model were analyzed considering different model analysis scenarios: the basic model, fuzzy logic model, and optimal control model. The equilibria of the basic model were obtained and their stability analysis was performed. The Next Generation Matrix (NGM) approach was used to compute the basic risk reproduction number of the basic model. The risk free equilibrium point of the ba sic model was proved to be globally asymptotically stable whenever the basic risk reproduction ratio was less than unit and unstable otherwise. The sensitivity analysis of the basic risk repro duction number of the basic model and numerical simulation were carried out. Their results revealed that deliberate intervention strategies and policies focused on discouraging alcoholic behaviors on their onset during initiation stage were more effective than dealing with alcoholic population proportions. The fuzzy logic based model analysis have confirmed this result where uncertainty conditions were assumed in the measure of influence of alcoholic individual
Effect of Corporate Governance Implementation on Financial Performance

Published: July 2023

This study examined the impact of independent commissioners, institutional ownership, and managerial ownership on the financial performance of mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2022. Using a purposive sampling technique, 43 companies were selected. The findings revealed that independent commissioners had no significant effect on return on assets (ROA). Inadequate communication within larger boards hindered supervision, suggesting the importance of a well-coordinated independent board. The role of independent commissioners in monitoring management activities fell short of optimal performance, with companies meeting minimum requirements. Institutional ownership did not influence ROA, as institutional investors operated independently. Similarly, managerial ownership had no significant effect, indicating low ownership by managers in Indonesia. This implies that ownership information is not heavily considered in investment evaluations. In summary, the study highlights the limited impact of independent commissioners, institutional ownership, and managerial ownership on financial performance in the Indonesian mining sector. Effective communication and optimal governance structures are crucial for maximizing the benefits of independent boards, while ownership has minimal influence on financial performance in mining investments in Indonesia.
