Published: August 2024

Emerging technologies and control systems revolutionized healthcare services which is very evident in self-management of diabetes mellitus by integrating continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), insulin pumps, and hybrid closed-loop systems, which significantly improve glycemic control and reduce hypoglycemia risk. In diabetes management, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are used for three primary application which are closed-loop control algorithms, glucose prediction through continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) biosensors and AI algorithms, and the calibration of CGM biosensors with the assistance of AI algorithms. Integration of AI technologies into diabetes care supports better clinical outcomes, thereby reducing administrative burden and costs associated with diabetes management. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems, which plays vital role for immediate glucose data delivery, have shown effectiveness in improving diabetes management by reducing HbA1c levels and empowering self-care skills. This has nurtured an increased sense of confidence among patients in managing their medical condition. However, the successful adoption of these technologies requires substantial support from healthcare professionals and family members to ensure adherence and effective use, especially considering factors like family income, educational background, and technological proficiency. In spite of all the research advancements made continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technologies are still evolving towards compactness, flexibility, sustained functionality, calibration-free operation, and closed-loop systems and free energy harvestability for prolong operation life.

Published: August 2024

This paper delves into the multifaceted relationship between climate change and crime in Nigeria, exploring whether climate-related phenomena influence crime rates. Leveraging secondary data from academic and news sources, the study finds evidence that temperature increases, a key facet of climate change, significantly impact specific crime types. Notably, homicides, robberies, herder-farmer conflicts, and burglaries exhibit a positive correlation with rising temperatures. The analysis draws upon the ecological theory of crime, emphasizing how environmental transformations shape crime patterns. Recognizing the potential burden of climate-driven crime, the study recommends incorporating climate change mitigation strategies within Nigeria's criminal justice system and broader policy landscape. This proactive approach offers the potential to not only combat environmental challenges but also mitigate the associated rise in criminal activity.

This research is motivated by the unique phenomenon of giving dowry to the Sasak Muslim community, namely in the form of dowry giving grilled chicken, sandels, shrouds, google endsense. Looking at the phenomenon that occurs, it is necessary to look at the concept of giving dowry in Islamic law, and customary law, and then how the legitimacy of giving a unique dowry in Islamic law and customary law is justified. This research is a type of library research (literature study) which is qualitative in nature with a normative-empirical approach. The arguments presented in this study use legal pluralism analysis. Legal pluralism, according to MB Hooker, is a situation characterized by the coexistence of two or more legal systems that interact with each other in the process of legal modernization in a country. Legal pluralism is neutral in nature, meaning that in its interaction there are no forces that dominate each other or are superior to the other. In the case of giving unique dowry, it can be seen that there are no laws that dominate each other, but what is a factor in the legitimacy of the unique dowry is the willingness of women to receive the dowry in accordance with Islamic law or customary law that applies to the Sasak tribal community.

Morphological and semantic priming in word recognition
Authors: Askari Afsane , Mahdi-Kamo Sallar
Published: August 2024

Word recognition is investigated along with semantic priming. While semantic priming has received attention among scholars investigating language processing in the last five decades, the literature lacks an investigation of semantic priming in word recognition among native and non-native German-speakers. To investigate the differences in how native speakers (L1) and non-native speakers (L2) of recognize words, and their corresponding speed, we designed two experiments consisting of two conditions; when the primes are associated with the target word, and when the primes are not related to the target word. For the semantic category, identical conditions were designed; when the primes are associated with the target word, and when they are not related to the target word. Reaction Time (RT) and accuracy were obtained during the experiments on both groups (L1 and L2).  The experiment was controlled by the DMDX software package. The results indicate that there are no such differences among native speakers(L1) and non-native speakers of the German language unless in individual choices. There are similarities among first language speakers (L1) and second language speakers (L2) in both categoriesــــmorphology and semantics. The delay would occur when non-native speakers see a word in morphological and semantic priming.

A multifactorial ailment, polycystic ovary syndrome, is typified by persistent anovulation along with indications of excess androgen without the presence of other particular diseases of the pituitary, thyroid, or adrenal glands that might cause comparable symptoms. Because polycystic ovarian syndrome is frequently accompanied by obesity, elevated insulin resistance and increased metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors are commonly linked to the condition. In Kulasekharam, Tamil Nadu, India, at the Sree Ramakrishna Medical College of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences and Hospital, the study was conducted. Women who are between the ages of 18 and 25 are taking part in the research. After outlining the purpose of the study, verbal consent was obtained. This survey received 30 responses. There are thirty questions in the survey. The following subjects were included in the questionnaire's parameters: food, menstruation disorders, anxiety, hair care, and digestive problems. The study excluded female subjects who were unwilling or uncooperative. Most women are affected by polycystic ovarian syndrome. Their food is not well- balanced and healthy. Women also need to be better informed on the importance of maintaining good hygiene, eating a balanced diet, drinking enough water, and the dangers of junk food. They also need to learn more about gut dysbiosis and how to prevent exposure to environmental pollutants. Future medical treatments should concentrate on these areas in order to improve young women's general health and wellness.

Background: Pediatric B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia presents with diverse clinical and hematological manifestations. Understanding these characteristics is crucial for effective management and prognostication.  Methods: This study conducted as prospective observational study at Lady Hardinge Medical College and Kalawati Saran Children Hospital, New Delhi, from November 2017 to March 2019. This study enrolled 30 pediatric patients with B-cell ALL who underwent comprehensive evaluations including routine and specialized hematological tests, bone marrow aspiration (BMA), cytochemistry, and immunophenotyping. Clinical features, hematological parameters, and CD66c expression on lymphoblasts were assessed.  Results: Immunophenotyping revealed that 28 cases (93.3%) were CALLA positive (CD10 positive), while 2 cases (6.7%) were CALLA negative (CD10 negative). The age ranged from 1.5 to 12 years, with a 2:1 male to female ratio. The mean age was 4.8 years.. Common presenting complaints included fever (93.3%) and pallor (60.0%). Hepato-splenomegaly (60.0%) and lymphadenopathy (60.0%) were the most frequent clinical findings. Hematological findings showed moderate to severe anemia (mean hemoglobin 7.19 g/dL), with 56.7% of patients having hemoglobin levels between 4.0-7.9 g/dL. Leukocytosis (>10,000/cumm) was observed in 53.3% of cases, with 20% having total leukocyte counts >50,000/cumm. Thrombocytopenia (platelet count ≤ 25,000/cumm) was noted in 56.7% of patients. Immunophenotyping revealed CD66c expression >20% gated in 46.7% of cases, correlating with more severe clinical features and poorer hematological parameters.  Conclusion: Pediatric B-cell ALL exhibits a spectrum of clinical and hematological features. Elevated CD66c expression correlates with aggressive disease presentation and worse clinical outcomes, suggesting its potential utility as a prognostic marker. Early identification of these parameters can aid in risk stratification and tailored therapeutic approaches.

Industry plays a vital role in reducing poverty in developing countries. In Bali, the creative industry has developed rapidly, although initially, it was still small. The alang-alang roofing industry, which focuses on producing and using roofing from alang-alang leaves, is a significant sector in the construction and property development industry. This material is used in traditional buildings and modern, environmentally friendly building designs. A case study of the "Tegal Wangi" thatched roof industry in Lodtunduh Village, Ubud, shows that financial management and risk management are essential for the success of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Financial education through simple bookkeeping is essential to provide in-depth understanding for business owners and managers. In addition, risks in this industry include competition, changes in customer demand and quality, and fluctuations in raw material prices. Solutions like product diversification and flexible marketing strategies can help manage these risks. Sustainable architectural building design is also a crucial factor. Collaboration between architects and industrial owners can create functional, aesthetic buildings resistant to extreme weather. Using sustainably sourced reeds and following environmentally friendly farming practices are essential steps in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.

Authors: MAKGOBA Jonas , MLAMBO Ernest
Published: August 2024

For many countries throughout the world, unemployment, poverty, and inequality are the biggest problems. These also apply to South Africa. In essence, local economic development (LED) is an ongoing procedure that is spearheaded by local stakeholders, particularly the local government, and built upon local efforts to stimulate the local economy and provide employment in a given area. Using the Polokwane municipality as a case study, the study aims to examine the contribution of local economic development in the reduction of unemployment in South Africa. The research also aims to ascertain how much Polokwane Municipality's local economic development organizations aid to the reduction of poverty. To obtain a thorough understanding of the subject matter, the study will employ a qualitative research approach and involve participants from various municipal levels who are involved in local economic development, such as agencies, municipal officials, and beneficiaries. The study followed a qualitative research methodology, which is a type of social science research that collects and works with non-numerical data and that seeks to interpret meaning from these data that help us understand social life through the study of targeted populations or places, and it employed theme analysis to find, arrange, and present themes and their sub-themes surfaced from study interviews. The research produced suggestions for using local economic development to reduce poverty and provide jobs.

Manufacturing companies are the largest contributor to tax revenue in Indonesia. However, this group experienced negative tax revenue growth when in general there was growth in tax revenue. The existence of foreign ownership and the use of debt (financial leverage) is suspected to be one of the causes of tax avoidance by the company even though it has been audited by an external party. The study was conducted using Moderated Regression Analysis on 124 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results showed that foreign ownership had no significant effect on tax avoidance, while financial leverage had a significant effect on tax avoidance. In addition, audit quality does not moderate significantly the influence of foreign ownership and financial leverage.
Role of Vachellia karroo as a nurse plant in oldfields targeted for passive restoration
Authors: Ruwanza Sheunesu , Mlonzi Voice
Published: August 2024

Background: In degraded environments such as oldfields, nurse plants can facilitate the growth of targeted restoration plant species through ameliorating them from extreme environmental conditions, creating nutrient rich microclimates, and protecting recruiting plants from grazing.
Objectives: This study examined the role of Vachellia karroo nurse plant on soil physico-chemical properties and vegetation diversity in oldfields targeted for passive restoration at Tanglewood research farm in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa.
Methods: Soil were quantified for physico-chemical properties in 48 plots measuring 25 m2 (5 m x 5 m) that were located under and outside 24 V. karroo nurse plants. In addition, detailed vegetation surveys were conducted in the above-mentioned plots.
Results: Our results show that soil total N and C concentrations were higher under than outside V. karroo nurse plants. Soil penetration resistance and water repellency levels were lower under than outside V. karroo nurse plants, however monthly variations were also observed. Species richness and Shannon-Wiener diversity were higher under than outside V. karroo nurse plants, with species such as Searsia crenata, Azima tetracantha, Asparagus africanus, and Opuntia sp., frequently occurring under V. karroo nurse plants.
Conclusion: The study concludes that V. karroo nurse plant has a positive effect on some soil physico-chemical properties and vegetation diversity underneath it. It is recommended that V. karro needs to be included in future oldfield restoration strategies if passive restoration at Tanglewood research farm is to be successful.

Motality prediction of ICU rheumatic heart disease with imbalanced data based on machine learning
Authors: Tao Yiwen , Zhang Zhenqiang , Wang Bengbeng , Ren Jingli
Published: August 2024

Linked to poverty, rheumatic heart disease (RHD) disproportionately burdens the developing world, receiving less attention than other infectious diseases. Resampling and cost-sensitive learning techniques are applied to predict the mortality risk of imbalanced RHD datasets. A total of 57 models were constructed, and was comprised of 50 resampled machine learning (ML) models and 7 cost-sensitive learning models. The results from the Friedman and Nemenyi tests highlight the superior performance of the cost-sensitive support vector classification model, with an AUC of 0.888, sensitivity of 0.800, G-means of 0.806, and a Brier score of 0.061. The global and local interpretability are advanced through two post-hoc interpretable ML methods, facilitating the prioritization of key features associated with mortality risk, the determination of thresholds for features, and a comprehension of how variations in these features influence patient mortality rates. These findings may prove to be clinically valuable, assisting clinicians in tailoring precise management that is essential to maximize the survival of RHD patients.
