Authors: De Melo Emanuelle Zordan , Lima Gabriela Monteiro , Da Silva Claudionor Ribeiro , De Araújo Aracy Alves
Published: October 2023

A valoração ambiental é um instrumento de alta complexidade que tem sido progressivamente debatido tanto no ambiente acadêmico quanto nos órgãos governamentais que realizam perícias criminais. Este artigo objetiva aplicar a metodologia de valoração ambiental de valor de uso direto, a partir do método dos custos de reposição, e de valor de uso indireto, pelo método da capitalização de renda para se valorar uma área florestal desmatada no município de Araguari-MG. Utilizou-se uma fórmula matemática para associar os dois valores com a finalidade de se obter o valor de dano ao ecossistema florestal. Foi obtido o valor de R$ 228.381,14 reais para o valor de dano ao ecossistema florestal, o que comparativamente a outros estudos similares realizados mostrou-se superior, possivelmente justificado pelas características da vegetação afetada, município de ocorrência do dano e atualizações monetárias. Conclui-se, a partir dos resultados obtidos, que o método é eficiente e de simples aplicação, pois, não exige levantamentos extensos e onerosos em campo.

Published: October 2023

Because skin cancer is a frequent and possibly lethal illness, early identification is crucial for surgical treatment. Personal dermatoscopy is crucial in the perception of skin cancer. Recent research on deep literacy techniques has shown astonishing success in automating the segmentation of skin lesions, assisting in the early diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer. This goal provides a summary of improvements in skin cancer image segmentation that are based on deep literacy. The goal of this project is to create a dependable and effective deep literacy frame for segmenting skin lesions from the dermoscopic image collection. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which are deep learning models that are incredibly effective at detecting daedal patterns in images, are used in the proposed model. The training data consists of a distinct collection of annotated dermoscopy images that contains nonidentical forms of skin cancer such as carcinoma, rudimentary cell melanoma, and scaled cell melanoma. To precisely describe the size of the skin abnormality, segmentation entails identifying the lesion boundaries. Transfer literacy is practiced, which entails using pre-trained convolutional neural network infrastructures, to improve the model's interpretation. Transfer literacy improves segmentation interpretation by using features discovered from large datasets. Key Words: CNN, Skin cancer, Dermoscopic, Image segmentation, Network

Published: October 2023

Text summarization plays a major role which can be used to summarize articles, papers, documents, etc. It greatly helps the students, business executives, librarian, teachers and many people in different profiles to quickly get the gist of research papers, latest news, trends in industry, summarize books, articles, etc. Summarizing provides a concise overview of a document which helps us to make better decisions and communicate information more effectively. In this project we are going to implement an nlp based text summarization using bart model and finally deployed using django framework. Bart hugging face transformer model is one of the nlp models. Its input and output are in the form of sequence. The high- dimensional representation of the input is learnt by the encoder and then mapped to the decoder. The bart model is first pre- trained on a big text (like book corpus or wikipedia). Pretraining ensures that the model "understands the language" and has a solid foundation from which to learn and how to carry out further tasks. Since it will determine how successfully the model can be trained for tasks like text classification or text summarization, the model's capacity to understand language is more effective. The pre-trained weights and weights in the bart model are fine-tuned on question answering, text summarization, sequence classification, etc. Therefore, using bart model we can able to generate text in both extractive and abstractive way, by which we can get the simpler summarization with the important sentences and also more fluent and accurate summarization by understanding the meaning of the text. Finally, to provide a user-friendly interface, by which the users can easily use the text summarization, the project will be deployed using django framework. It allows us to easily build web applications. Key Words: BART, NLP, summarization, Wikipedia, pretrained
Indonesian Islamist populism and Anies Baswedan
Authors:   The Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation, Bachtiar Hasnan
Published: October 2023

Anies Baswedan emerges as a pivotal figure in Indonesian Islamist populism, notably for his role in defeating Basuki Tjahaya Purnama (Ahok) in the 2016 Jakarta gubernatorial election and his involvement in the criminalization of Ahok’s blasphemy case. His influence has fueled the rise of Islamist populism in the post-reform democratization era. Anies’s recent announcement as the National Democratic Party’s (Nasdem) presidential candidate for the 2024 election positions him against Ganjar Pranowo and Prabowo Subianto. This article scrutinizes Anies’s prospects in the 2024 presidential election, exploring whether he continues to employ identity politics and Islamist ideologies to attack political opponents and what his overall stance is regarding Islamist populism. It raises pertinent questions about the impact of these developments on Indonesian democracy, pondering whether the looming challenges will culminate in storms or pave the way for clearer skies in the nation’s democratic landscape.

Authors: Guirguis Ruth , Plotka Raquel
Published: October 2023

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, several early childhood education programs in the United States and around the world were forced to shift to online instruction.  While virtual learning was found to be challenging for all age groups, this mode has been especially challenging for early childhood educators.   The present study explored the challenges that teachers faced when adjusting their early childhood education practices to an online format during the COVID-19 health crisis and also explored those activities that teachers found most effective.  Furthermore, this study explored the role of online teaching in teachers’ senses of self-efficacy and assessed whether support from families and program administration played a role in teacher self-efficacy.  Lessons for the role of online education in early childhood, with implications for practice, are discussed. As online instruction becomes more prominent in all areas of education, the lessons learned during the pandemic should prove informative long after the crisis is overcome.

Authors: Pleša Puljić Nikolina , Ribić Damir
Published: October 2023

After more than a year of online education in Croatia, which was caused by COVID-19, it is necessary to determine the effectiveness of online teaching. Therefore, the goal of the study was to determine the difference of the students' perception of quality between online and face-to-face teaching. The empirical study reveals which form of teaching is perceived to be of higher quality when taken as a whole by students, and what their perception is regarding the individual segments (lectures, seminars, mid-term exams, exercises, written/oral exams) of both types of teaching. The research was carried out with a questionnaire (N = 172). To process the results of the research, statistical methods of descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and the t-test were used. The findings show that there is a statistically significant difference between online and F2F teaching. For more generalised data, it is necessary to involve other higher education institutions. The research makes recommendations for improving the education process in online teaching during the COVID-19 crisis or other similar crises.

Published: October 2023

National Health Insurance (JKN) is a priority for low- and middle-income countries as a way to increase access to health services and reduce the financial burden on health care. The special objective is to analyze the relationship between income and participation in the National Health Insurance (JKN). The 30 respondents, 19 (63.3) respondents were female and 11 (26.7) were male. And aged > 45 years old a total of 15 (50.0) and < 45 years old (50.0). And almost all 23 respondents (69.7) earned < 2,190,206 in each month and as many as 7 respondents with an income of > 2,190,206 in each month. There is a significant positive relationship between the level of opinion and participation in the National Health Insurance program, where the higher the income, the more people participate in the National Health Insurance program. Comprehensive and comparable estimates of health spending across countries are critical to achieving national and international health goals. If there is more health care, the amount of premium that will be issued will also be a lot. Premium increases in the health insurance sector are an uphill task for policymakers to form balanced policies that can provide affordable health care while maintaining survival

Freedom of Religion Under the Australian Constitution: Is Proportionality the Answer?
Authors: Baldwin Guy
Published: October 2023

Under the current approach set out in the 1997 ‘Stolen Generations’ case of Kruger v Commonwealth, the free exercise clause of s 116 of the Australian Constitution is only violated if a law has the purpose of prohibiting the free exercise of religion. In the light of the introduction of structured proportionality testing in some areas of Australian constitutional law, scholars have recently considered whether the current test under the free exercise clause might be replaced with proportionality, given its current momentum. However, proportionality is a controversial test whose introduction to Australian law has been contested. This article seeks to contribute to the debate over proportionality in Australian law by outlining a case for why proportionality should not be adopted in respect of the free exercise clause under s 116. After first considering the current interpretation given to the free exercise clause, the article assesses proportionality as a possible test. It contends that proportionality is a flawed test because its final balancing stage involves a weighing of incommensurable values that confers excessive discretion on the judiciary. Rather than proportionality, the High Court should return to earlier dicta and develop a means-end test of reasonable necessity for assessing interference with the free exercise of religion.
The Review of Loss Aversion
Authors: Liu Yuling
Published: October 2023

Loss aversion is a cognitive bias that refers to the tendency of humans to feel the pain of a loss more strongly than the pleasure of an equivalent gain. In other words, people tend to weigh potential losses more heavily than potential gains of the same value. This bias is a part of prospect theory, a psychological theory that explains how people make decisions involving risk and uncertainty. It's important to note that loss aversion is a natural cognitive bias, and while it can lead to suboptimal decisions in some cases, it also serves as a survival mechanism. Throughout human history, avoiding losses, such as the loss of resources or safety, has been crucial for survival and reproduction. Recognizing and understanding loss aversion can help individuals make more balanced and rational decisions. This paper starts from the manifestation of loss aversion. It explains the reasons for the formation of loss aversion and the influencing factors. Moreover, this paper provides practical application scenarios for better avoidance of badness and utilization of profitability in life by speaking about loss aversion in combination with real life and investment.
Why Arithmetic’s Incompleteness Might Suggest That Mathematics Is Discovered
Authors: Li Mingzhe
Published: October 2023

Is mathematics invented or discovered? This question has perturbed philosophers and mathematicians alike for centuries. In this manuscript, we propose a novel argument in favor that fundamental arithmetic is dis- covered rather than invented using Kurt Gödel’s Incompleteness Theo- rem because essentially incompleteness seems to be a property unique to arithmetic and counter-intuitive to invented systems. We first summarize Gödel’s argument, then argue that arithmetic’s essential incompleteness shouldn’t be a property in purely invented systems without it, giving an example on how to resolve incomplete systems in those systems and argue that arithmetic is to some extent discovered because of this difference in property. We also conjecture that any invented system that could be proven to be essentially incomplete with a similar logic to Gödel’s method can express arithmetical relationships in some form. Finally, we account for some objections to discovery.

Authors: Yuan Zhengyu
Published: October 2023

Industrial transfer, as a significant economic phenomenon occurring during the process of globalization, has had a profound and far-reaching impact on China's economy since the beginning of the reform and opening-up. In recent years, the substantial relocation of industries from China has caused some concerns about economic downturn. This paper explores the influencing mechanisms of industrial transfer and the development trends of China's industrial transfer. Based on the two major factors affecting the industrial transfer process—real costs for enterprises and local administrative elements—the paper proposes suggestions for how the government and enterprises can maximize economic benefits through the cross-space flow of economic factors facilitated by industrial transfer. Ultimately, industrial transfer optimizes the regional development layout, accelerates the updating and iteration of industrial technology, and achieves high-quality economic development.

Effect of foliar nutrition on growth and yield of cotton (Gossypium herbaceum) MCU 5
Authors: KUMAR N SENTHIL , RAJASEKAR M , PARAMSIVAN M , KUMANAN K
Published: October 2023

From the experimental results, it is inferred that cotton crop responds well to the foliar nutrition with zinc and magnesium. Application of these nutrients through foliar spray might be the feasible option to control the yield barrier under rainfed condition. Further the study found that foliar spraying of MgSO4 1.0% along with 0.5% of ZnSO4 three times respectively at squaring, flowering and boll formation stages markedly improved the plant growth and seed cotton yield. Thus, these treatments may be recommended for enhancing the rainfed cotton yield but location specificity verification is required before recommendation.

The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with 3 replications. In main plot; F0, control; F1, 50% RDN and K; F2, 75% RDN and K and; F3, 100% RDN and K and sub-plot T1, Starter dose of N and K @2% with 10:20 ratio + micronutrient mixture of Fe, B, Zn and Mo foliar spray at 30 DAE; T2, Booster dose of N and K @2% with 5:40 ratio + micronutrient mixture of Fe, B, Zn and Mo foliar spray at 45 and 60 DAE; and T3, Starter dose + Booster dose. Growth and yield attributes of groundnut were significantly influenced by application of inorganic fertilizer and maximum were recorded with 100% of RDN and K. Foliar applications of RDN and K with a micronutrient mixture responded better at later stages (45 and 60 DAE) than at an earlier stage (30 DAE). Higher groundnut pod yield was obtained with basal application of 100% of RDN and K but performed statistically same response to the treatment 75% of RDN and K. The pod yield increased by 5–12% with each incremental dose of inorganic fertilizer, while it decreased in control. Booster dose of N and K gave higher pod and oil yield to starter dose. Maximum BCR of 2.38 and 1.99 was found in 100% of RDN and K and in booster doses of N and K. Inorganic fertilizer as basal and foliar application + micronutrients increased the groundnut pod yield but foliar application was not substitute to any quantity of inorganic fertilizer.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: The tasks of a cashier may seem simple to the untrained eye and oblivious to ergonomic working conditions. However, in the vast majority of cases, these functions culminate in repetitive, continuous and exhausting movements. These functions generate various problems relating to the musculoskeletal system, such as RSI and WMSD - Repetitive Strain Injury and Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders. Objective: To identify possible work-related musculoskeletal disorders among employees who have worked as cashiers for at least two years in a supermarket in the city of Nanuque - MG. Methodology: This is a quantitative, exploratory and descriptive survey, where the main musculoskeletal complaints were studied, using a validated and modified structured questionnaire, applied to 15 cashiers. Results: The operators reported having work-related pain, these injuries cause many problems for the worker, they lose their productive capacity, their autonomy and, in some cases, their income. The pain mainly affects the spine and upper body, which indicates a lack of ergonomics in the workplace and a lack of physical activity. Conclusion: As with any activity that involves repetitive movements and staying in the same position for a long period of time, the job of cashier generates a lot of pain which, if left untreated, can lead to the employee being taken off work. The information analyzed showed that the longer the working time and the less physical activity, the higher the incidence of WMSD, which makes the service provided painful and painful.

Основная цель работы — выявить причины наличия в одной из высеченных в скале церквей Каппадокии армянского письма. Монастырский комплекс Эски Гюмуш, расположенный недалеко от города Найде в Каппадокии, окружен скалами с высеченными в них углублениями разного размера. В системе росписей особенно интересны изображения архангела Михаила и полотенца в его руках, на котором есть армянское письмо, вероятно, как колофон к ткани, использовавшейся в церкви. Над росписями работали несколько мастеров, один из которых, вероятно, был армянином. Вопрос вызывает размещение армянских надписей на верхней части апсиды алтаря, в труднодоступном месте. Мы полагаем, что это обстоятельство легко объясняется местом и временем, когда осевшие в Каппадокии армяне, особенно военная знать, занимая высокое положение при византийском дворе, была обязана учитывать политические, религиозные и культурные особенности Византийской империи. Художники, работавшие в монастыре, проявили своебразный подход, оставив армянский след даже в потаенном, непримечательном месте. Костюм и стилистические особенности изображения повитух в сцене Рождества на северной стене церкви, а также наличие армянских надписей позволяют предположить, что на момент росписи главной апсиды и северной стены церковь принадлежала армянам-халкидонитам.
The main goal of the work is to identify the reasons for the presence of the Armenian inscription in one of the rock-hewn churches of Cappadocia. The Eski Gumus monastic complex, located near the town of Nigde in Cappadocia, is surrounded by rocks with niches of various sizes carved into them. In the illustrations, the image of Archangel Michael, and especially the hand towel, on which there are traces of an Armenian inscription, probably as a colophon to the fabric used in the church, is especially interesting. Several craftsmen worked on the paintings, one of whom was probably Armenian. The placement of the Armenian inscriptions on the upper part of the apse of the altar, in a hard-to-reach place, raises a question. We believe that this circumstance is easily explained by the place and time, when the Armenians who settled in Cappadocia, especially the military nobility, occupying a high position at the Byzantine court, were obliged to take into account the political, religious and cultural characteristics of the Byzantine Empire. The artists who worked in the monastery showed an individual approach, leaving an Armenian trace even in a secret, hard-to-reach place. The costume and stylistic features of the depiction of midwives in the Nativity scene on the northern wall of the church, as well as the presence of the Armenian inscriptions, suggest that at the time of the painting of the main apse and the northern wall, the church belonged to the Chalcedonian Armenians.

Introdução: A ociosidade das vagas é um problema crescente, minando a efetividade da expansão da residência em medicina de família e comunidade no Brasil, expansão essa que se intensificou nos últimos dez anos. Não se sabe até que ponto as vagas ociosas estão sendo efetivamente ofertadas pelos programas de residência. Objetivo: Descrever a oferta e a ocupação de vagas de residência médica em medicina de família e comunidade no Brasil, para estimar até que ponto a não oferta de vagas explica sua ociosidade. Métodos: Obtivemos da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (SBMFC) os dados de um levantamento de programas de residência em 2020, incluindo o número de vagas de primeiro ano (R1) ofertadas e ocupadas. Em seguida, perguntamos aos supervisores dos programas o número de vagas de R1 autorizadas para o mesmo ano e consultamos dados governamentais publicamente disponíveis. Descrevemos a oferta e a ocupação de vagas de residência em função da localização da sede, da natureza jurídica das instituições proponentes e da complementação da bolsa dos residentes. Resultados: Dos 72 programas que responderam ao levantamento da SBMFC, 28 informaram-nos o número de vagas autorizadas. Estes últimos somavam 506 vagas autorizadas, das quais 417 (82%) tinham sido ofertadas. Os 72 programas tinham ofertado ao todo 948 vagas, das quais 651 (69%) tinham sido ocupadas. Entre as vagas ociosas (autorizadas, mas não ocupadas), 42% não tinham sido ofertadas pelos respectivos programas. Este último percentual foi maior na Região Sul; nos programas com sede em municípios de menor porte populacional; nas instituições proponentes estaduais (ou distritais) ou privadas; e em programas sem suplementação da bolsa de residência. Conclusões: Para melhor elucidar os motivos para a ociosidade de vagas de residência em medicina de família e comunidade, futuras pesquisas devem considerar separadamente a oferta e a ocupação das vagas. Da mesma forma, políticas de formação de profissionais para o Sistema Único de Saúde poderiam beneficiar-se do monitoramento da efetiva oferta das vagas autorizadas.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has had impact not just on physical health, but also on mental health, particularly among undergraduate students. Previous studies have demonstrated that Computer Science students in particular already exhibit more symptoms of anxiety and depression than the general population and students in other fields. The study aimed to measure the impact of COVID-19 on Computer Science students' mental health, by assessing the prevalence and associated factors of anxiety and depression symptoms, and the factors that most affected their well-being. An online cross-sectional survey focused on concerns and impacts of COVID-19 was designed. The Beck Anxiety and Depression Inventories were used to measure the anxiety and depression symptoms. The data were anonymously collected, and analyzed using the TIBCO  Statistica™ software, by non-parametric tests. 174 students (135 males; age=21.07±2.47 years) participated in the study. The prevalence of symptoms was 36.7% for anxiety and 60.3% for depression. 81% of students reported that their well-being had been negatively affected by the pandemic, with the most reported concerns including social isolation and delay in academic progress. Correlations between anxiety and depression symptoms, strong social relationships, regular practice of physical exercise, and students' level of satisfaction with their academic program were found. This paper sheds light on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on CS students' mental health, suggests ways in which Computer Science students may be able to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and improve their mental health during and after the pandemic.
