Moderate Dai in the Era of Digitalization; Challenges and Ethics of Preaching on Social-Media According to Islam and Local Wisdom
Authors: Ridho Hilmi , Sabil Afif
Published: May 2024

Nowadays, the phenomenon of proselytizing through social media has become a demand and trend in itself. One of its advantages is that the Internet network can penetrate the boundaries of space and time. However, its existence also raises pros and cons among the community. In reality, all da'wah content on social media is not acceptable, and it often reaps controversy, causes polemics, and triggers conflict. For example, political da'wah that contains hate speech, economic da'wah that contains elements of forced alms, business da'wah that aims to promote a product, and so on. This research is a literature review that adopts mostly qualitative research techniques. The main data sources are scientific literature studies in the form of books, yellow books, and journals that discuss challenges and ethical values in preaching on social media. The purpose of this study is to examine the extent of the problems and challenges of da'wah in social media, given the rapid advancement of technology and information, of course, da'wah will certainly experience new transformations and challenges by the times. In addition, it wants to know how the ethics of a preacher on social media should be in delivering his da'wah material, both to the people present and netizens in the view of Islam and local wisdom.
PERUBAHAN PENGATURAN PERJANJIAN KERJA HARIAN DI INDONESIA DITINJAU DARI TEORI KEADILAN
Authors: Amany Nailul
Published: May 2024

Pengaturan Perjanjian Kerja Harian (PKH) di Indonesia mengalami perubahan yang cukup signifikan dengan diundangkannya UU No. 6 Tahun 2023 tentang Penetapan Perppu Cipta Kerja. Artikel ini menganalisis perubahan pengaturan hak-hak pekerja PKH dengan meninjaunya menggunakan teori keadilan dan menganalisis berdasarkan teori interpretasi. Dengan menggunakan statute approach dan historical approach, artikel ini menghasilkan kesimpulan: PKH mengalami perubahan paling signifikan pada PP No. 35 Tahun 2021 dimana PKH secara tegas disebutkan sebagai salah satu jenis PKWT namun tidak semua hak pekerja PKWT dapat secara mudah dimiliki oleh pekerja PKH. Ditinjau dari teori keadilan John Rawls, pengaturan PKH di Indonesia saat ini belum memberikan keadilan. Berdasarkan teori interpretasi gramatikal dengan pendekatan contextualism, hak-hak pekerja PKH seharusnya sama dengan pekerja PKWT pada umumnya, namun berdasarkan teori interpretasi sistematis, pekerja PKH berpotensi kehilangan haknya. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pemahaman yang utuh mengenai hak-hak pekerja PKH dengan mengutamakan sudut pandang keadilan.
Statistical Metrics for the Temporal Acoustics of Durationally Contrastive Vocalics: A Proposal Tested with Data from Arabic and Japanese
Authors: Aldholmi Yahya
Published: May 2024

Previous research has utilized the duration ratio and occasionally the duration difference as single-value metrics to measure and compare the temporal acoustics of durationally contrastive vocalics (short vs. long vowels), which allow researchers to reduce two values (short and long) to one, but express a relationship instead of representing the vocalic duration values directly. The duration ratio may even be misleading when comparing two languages or dialects, as it is possible to exhibit a similar ratio but differ in durational acoustics, or vice versa. The current study proposes two alternative statistical metrics: a duration metric and a difference metric. The duration metric is an intermediate (mean-like) value between the duration of the short and long vocalics, and the difference metric is a ± value that can be added to or subtracted from the duration metric to obtain the duration of long or short vocalics. We conduct a production experiment on Arabic and Japanese vocalics and analyze the data using both traditional measures and the proposed metrics. The findings show that the proposed metrics better predict the language from which the vocalic duration values were obtained. Such results suggest that the proposed metrics are better candidates for measuring and comparing the temporal acoustics of vocalics.

Zastosowanie systemów sztucznej inteligencji w arbitrażu morskim
Authors: Pyć Dorota
Published: May 2024

Sztuczna inteligencja (artificial intelligence – AI) wpływa na zmiany w arbitrażu przez poprawę jego efektywności, w tym również w zakresie procesu decyzyjnego. Jednym z najbardziej istotnych zastosowań sztucznej inteligencji w arbitrażu morskim jest wykorzystanie algorytmów uczenia maszynowego do przewidywania wyników spraw (predykcja). Analizując ogromne ilości danych historycznych, AI dostarcza przydatnych kompilacji i prognoz, umożliwiając podejmowanie bardziej świadomych decyzji. Systemy sztucznej inteligencji (AI systems) stosowane w sądownictwie arbitrażowym można analizować jako systemy wysokiego ryzyka. Narzędzia do automatyzacji i technologii prawnych cechuje zdolność uczenia się i ewolucji przy każdym wdrożeniu. W przyszłości zaawansowane zastosowanie zautomatyzowanych systemów AI w arbi-trażu mogłoby polegać na korzystaniu z pomocy „instruktora AI”. W niniejszym artykule zostały przedstawione wybrane zagadnienia związane z zastosowaniem AI w arbitrażu, w tym w szczególności arbitrażu morskim, z uwzględnieniem etyki i społecznej odpowiedzialności w kontekście dalszego rozwoju sztucznej inteligencji.

Published: May 2024

In today’s world, sustainability practices are critical to every industry including the construction sector. This has come into being because of the pressure exerted on organisations and their supply chains by different stakeholders who demand ethically produced goods and services as well as responsible service delivery methods. The purpose of this research was to assess the relationship between sustainability practices and the benefits that sustainability offers organisations. This study employed cross-sectional descriptive design with a quantitative approach. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire with closed-ended questions from 67 respondents who were purposively sampled from building construction companies registered with the National Council for Construction (NCC) in grades 1 to 4 and operating in the Copperbelt province of Zambia. These included senior management employees involved in various projects. The collected data was analysed using exploratory factor analysis and regression analysis. The findings revealed that economic sustainability practices had a significant influence on delivering sustainability benefits, whereas social and environmental sustainability practices had no significant influence on delivering sustainability benefits. The research further revealed that the period a company was in operation significantly contributed to its ability to realise sustainability benefits, and to the contrary, that awareness and stakeholder participation did not. The researcher thus recommended that companies in the construction sector should develop and implement sustainability policies in order to meet the expectations of several stakeholders and secure long-term competitive advantage.

Authors: Kermite Fiolita , Widodo Winarso Drajad , Hapsari Dhika Prita
Published: May 2024

The rootstock number and scion types can be used to optimize grafting success. This study aimed to determine the effect of rootstock number, scion type, and its interaction on the success of nutmeg grafting. The research was conducted at the Seed Breeding Site in Layeni Village, Central Maluku Regency, Maluku. The research started in November 2022 and ended in August 2023. The experiment used a two-factor completely randomized design. The first factor was the rootstock number, i.e., single, double, and triple rootstocks. The second factor was the scion type, i.e., Myristica fragrans Houtt, Myristica argentea Warb, and Myristica sp. The 9 treatment combinations were replicated six times, resulting in a total of 54 experimental units. The result of the study concluded that grafting success was influenced by the rootstock number and the scion types, and there was no interaction between rootstock and scion. The highest success was achieved by using a single rootstock with a success rate of 60%. The use of Myristica sp. scions gave the highest grafting percentage of 76.66%. Successful nutmeg grafting was characterized by the presence of a fusion between the rootstock and the scion, based on anatomical observations. Failed nutmeg grafting was characterized by the absence of fusion between rootstock and scion. The rootstock number and scion type affected shoot emergence time, linked stem diameter, shoot length, and leaf number, while the scion type affected the shoot number. Double rootstock tended to have higher parameters than single and triple rootstock for shoot emergence and leaf number, but the number of failed grafting was still challenging.

Published: May 2024

Entender que rol juegan los diversos factores que explican la eficiencia técnica, resulta fundamental para establecer los marcos regulatorios y políticas enfocadas en mejorar los niveles de eficiencia, especialmente en la prestación de servicios públicos como el suministro de agua potable. Este estudio tiene como objetivo calcular el nivel de eficiencia técnica orientada a los costos de los proveedores del servicio de agua potable del Ecuador y analizar sus determinantes. Para ello, se aplicó el método paramétrico Análisis de Frontera Estocástica (SFA por sus siglas en inglés) utilizando datos del año 2019 de la Estadística de información ambiental económica en Gobiernos Autónomos Descentralizados Municipales publicada por el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos (INEC). Los resultados muestran que los proveedores de agua potable en Ecuador podrían ahorrar sus costos, y al mismo tiempo, mantener el nivel de producción de agua potable actual. Entre los factores que explican a la eficiencia se encuentra el nivel económico del cantón, la densidad de clientes, el nivel de fuentes de extracción de agua, y la necesidad de bombeo en la provisión del servicio. Finalmente, se sugiere que las políticas públicas de mejora de la eficiencia centradas en dichos factores se realicen promoviendo la cooperación e intercambio de experiencias entre los proveedores.
Collaborative Governance Model of IPSPs (Independent Public Services Providers) of Joint Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDesma) in Indonesia
Authors: Bisri Mashur Hasan , Sumartono  , Muluk Mujibur Rahman Khairul , Wijaya Andy Fefta
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Poverty alleviation of marginalized communities, especially for rural areas, uses a rural area development strategy. Law Number 6 of 2014 concern of Village Autonomy, the nature and leadership style of the Village Head emphasizes sectoral ego, low commitment, no innovation and creativity, and responsibility for development in rural areas as negative symptoms. This is a phenomenon that attracts parties as a contributing factor to the failure of collaborative governance in rural area development.
 
Theoretical review: This study aims to explain the elements of collaborative governance of IPSPs (independent public services providers) in the development of rural areas. Governance is essentially a process, method, activity and system of cooperative interaction between a number of actors or organizations to manage together (collectivity) to implement policies based on the same goals and interests based on social contract.
 
Methods: The method used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Researchers conducted 4 (four) stages including: a). data collection; b). data condensation; c). data display; d). conclusion: drawing/verifying.
 
Result and Discussion: The results are the elements of collaborative governance for the development of rural areas have not been carried out optimally. This is due to the sectoral ego of the village government prefers to manage its own village area through village-owned enterprises (BUMDes) than managing the area together in BUMDesma Ngantang Bersinar.
 
Conclusion: The change of BUMDesma management did not bring significant changes and lacked the willingness to produce creative and innovative ideas. In addition, the leadership factor is crucial to be considered.

Published: May 2024

Objective: This study investigates the media literacy competencies of early childhood education teachers in Deli Serdang Regency, Indonesia focusing on their understanding of media literacy concepts, integration into the curriculum, and implementation in schools, as well as the availability of relevant teacher development programs.
 
Method: Utilizing a qualitative descriptive methodology, the research gathered data through interviews and observations conducted over a three-month period.
 
Results and Discussion: Findings indicate that while teachers are adept at employing digital technologies within the framework of the TIAR Model, they exhibit a significant lack of deep conceptual understanding of media literacy. This deficiency is primarily attributed to the limited professional development opportunities specifically tailored to media literacy education. The results underscore the necessity for designing and implementing specialized training and support programs that enhance the media literacy competencies of early childhood educators.
 
Research Implications: Policymakers should consider establishing guidelines and standards for media literacy education in early childhood settings. These policies could mandate regular professional development in media literacy for educators and allocate resources for such initiatives.
 
Originality/Value: The study identifies a significant gap between the use of digital technologies and the conceptual understanding of media literacy among teachers. This finding is crucial for developing targeted interventions and underscores the need for a balanced approach to technology integration and conceptual education.

The paper tests the relationship between two important indicators for every economic entity, which are liquidity and profitability as  the most studied indicators.
 
Results and Discussion: Data analysis showed that there was a significant statistical relationship between liquidity and performance indicators, which serve as a starting point for going into further use of technical forensic accounting techniques by professionals.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature with an empirical study on techniques and principles of Forensic Accounting and Financial Statements Analysis. Solvency analysis helps us to identify those transactions for which accounting professionals and not only should focus to further deepen the investigations based on the techniques and principles of forensic accounting. Based on the findings of this study as well as those of other researchers, we recommend to professionals that the use of financial statement analysis instruments in the investigation process is a key factor.
Nutrition in early life: a review
Authors: Alalwani Amal , Aljohani Layan , Ibrahim Sara
Published: May 2024

Human milk is the gold standard for the nourishment of early infants because it contains several bioactive components that prove to be the best choice for infants. Breastfeeding has many health benefits for both the infant and the mother. This study aimed to identify the optimal duration of breastfeeding, to demonstrate its benefits, to list essential elements for infants, and to identify the risks associated with formula feeding. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends early skin-to-skin contact and starting breastfeeding immediately after birth. The recommendations also included continuing breastfeeding for the first 6 months and continuing to feed infants until 2 years of age with complementary feeding. Breastfeeding is the best way to feed infants and provide them with the nutrition they need for growth and development. In Saudi Arabia, health policies recommend that medical staff should provide proper breastfeeding education to mothers. A study published by the WHO in 2006 showed that 92% of infants in Saudi Arabia received colostrum. Breastfed infants have better health outcomes and better intellectual and social lives than formula-fed infants. Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months tends to be more protective in reducing the risk of certain diseases than breastfeeding for 4 months. In contrast, formula milk is associated with many diseases, such as allergies and premature breast development in girls.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge levels of medical students at Jazan University, Saudi Arabia, regarding surgical site infection (SSI) and its related factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students at Jazan University using a validated online questionnaire that was distributed to the participants via social media platforms.
Results: The majority of participants (91.7%) demonstrated poor knowledge regarding SSIs, with only a small proportion (8.3%) exhibiting good knowledge. While no significant differences were observed based on age or study year. A marginally significant association was found between gender and knowledge levels. Participants who had previously studied the surgery module demonstrated higher levels of knowledge compared to those who had not. Areas of least knowledge included the appropriate timing for administering prophylactic antibiotics, the prevalence of SSIs, and wound classification.
Conclusion: The study highlighted significant gaps in knowledge among medical students at Jazan University regarding SSIs and related preventive measures. Targeted educational interventions and focused training programs are warranted to address these deficiencies and enhance overall knowledge levels among medical students. Improving understanding and awareness of key concepts related to SSI prevention and management is essential for mitigating the burden of SSIs and improving patient outcomes in healthcare settings.
Identification of Indicators for the Evaluation of Health Disaster Management Interventions during the Relief Phase: Scoping Review of the Peer-Reviewed Literature
Authors: Pauwels Sofie , Debacker Michel , Hubloue Ives
Published: May 2024

Introduction:
Disasters have existed for many ages and although they are known to threaten health, there is still lack of evidence regarding the effectiveness of health disaster response interventions. Indicators are primordial for the evaluation of such interventions. The main objective of this study was to map the output, outcome and impact indicators used to evaluate health interventions in disasters and to identify gaps in the existing peer-reviewed literature.
Methods:
A scoping review of the peer-reviewed literature was performed. Scopus, Web of Science and Pubmed were the 3 databases in which the search was launched. All references published in the peer-reviewed literature in English, Dutch or French since 1990 were eligible for inclusion if they met all the inclusion criteria. Characteristics of the studies, the interventions and indicators identified were charted. Interventions were categorized using an extraction template.
Results:
A total of 8329 articles were identified. After removal of duplicates, 5578 unique studies were screened of which 56 met all inclusion criteria. The selected articles contained 86 interventions and 1387 indicators which could be grouped into 619 unique indicators. Of these indicators the majority were output indicators (70,8%). Of the remaining indicators 28,8% were outcome indicators and only 2 (0,3%) were impact indicators. For almost half (47,7%) of the interventions, no outcome or impact indicators were identified. The highest proportions of outcome indicators were found in medical care interventions and overall response interventions.
Conclusion:
This scoping review identified the existence of many indicators, however most of them were output indicators. In order to generate evidence on the effectiveness of interventions, the priority should lie on determining outcome and impact indicators. If health disaster management wants to become a scientific discipline, several steps must be undertaken. First, there is an urgent need for the standardization of definitions and the
development of a glossary. Second, the identification of indicators should begin with the determination of interventions needed in disaster response after which systematic scoping reviews should be performed in order to identify the most appropriate indicators. Lastly, data collection should be standardized, and a universally accepted reporting template should be implemented.

Objective: to evaluate the knowledge of pediatric residents about the concepts and teaching of palliative care during postgraduate studies. Methods: This is a descriptive, qualitative and phenomenological study. Results: 12 residents of the last year of the medical residency program participated, who, when expressing their conceptions on the subject, presented peculiarities of a care that has been improved over time, breaking paradigms, such as the search for cure and maintenance of life at any time. price, without making room for an approach aimed at the human being in its entirety. For them, this Gordian knot can be resolved with the acquisition of technical skills, communication, rehabilitation and knowledge of the process of dying and death. Discussion: Human beings are very innately resistant to facing death naturally, as part of life; this stems from social, cultural, spiritual, emotional aspects and teaching in the health area itself, evidenced by the interviewees lack of knowledge about the dimension of palliative care, without, however, disregarding its importance. Conclusion: Such characters do not feel empowered to interact with patients and family members in order to discuss the terminality. These results show a timid posture, and the peremptory need for this topic in professional training.

Deep-Learning Framework for Terminal Airspace Trajectory Prediction and In-Time Prognostics
Authors: Sudarsanan Varun S. , Kostiuk Peter F.
Published: May 2024

Terminal airspace around an airport is the biggest bottleneck for commercial operations in the National Airspace System. To prognosticate the safety status of the terminal airspace, effective prediction of the airspace evolution is necessary. While there are fixed procedural structures for managing operations at an airport, the confluence of a large number of aircraft and the complex interactions between the pilots and air traffic controllers make it challenging to predict its evolution. Modeling the high-dimensional spatiotemporal interactions in the airspace given different environmental and infrastructural constraints is necessary for effective predictions of future aircraft trajectories that characterize the airspace state at any given moment. A novel deep-learning architecture using Graph Neural Networks is proposed to predict trajectories of aircraft 10 min into the future and estimate prognostic metrics for the airspace. The uncertainty in the future is quantified by predicting distributions of future trajectories instead of point estimates. The framework’s viability for trajectory prediction and prognosis is demonstrated with terminal airspace data from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
Laminarization of Low Reynolds Number Turbulent Flow in Heated Rotating Pipe
Authors: Shome Biswadip
Published: May 2024

Numerical investigation of laminarization of low Reynolds number turbulent flow in a heated rotating vertical pipe is carried out using a rotation-sensitized [Formula: see text] Shear Stress Transport (SST) model with modifications to include low Reynolds number flow effects. The results show that rotation accelerates laminarization in heated pipes and leads to as much as 72% deterioration in heat transfer for a typical inlet Reynolds number of 5000 and at a rotation number of 2. Rotation causes a reduction of the velocity gradients in the near-wall region. The lower gradients result in a reduction in the rate of production of turbulence kinetic energy, which causes the flow to laminarize. A laminarization map that relates the nondimensional heat flux as a function of inlet Reynolds number and rotation number is presented in this study. Correlation to predict the nondimensional wall heat flux required to laminarize the flow as a function of inlet Reynolds number and rotation number is proposed. The proposed laminarization map and the correlation which predicts the nondimensional heat flux required for laminarization to within an accuracy of ±8.1% accuracy for flow of air in a heated rotating vertical pipe would be of value to operators and designers of heat exchangers using air as a working medium to maintain a heat flux or a rotation number below the threshold value to prevent flow laminarization.
A Critique of Conqueror South Africa, Post-1994 Liberal Democracy and Liberal Democratic Law
Authors: Marema Tumelo
Published: May 2024

Violence and oppression in the form of conquest and colonialism, racism, patriarchy, heteronormativity and in terms of class are all inevitable effects of Western culture. This is due to the reason that Western culture is fundamentally highly materialistic, competitive, narcissistic, individualistic and takes aggressive and domineering stances towards innerworldly entities. Therefore, a Western concept of law based on such a culture is fundamentally ineffective to eradicate such violence and oppression, but rather perpetuates it. These characteristics of Western culture and the Western concept of law have their roots in the Western conception of “Being,” particularly in the conception of “Being-with.” This article argues that liberal democratic law and liberal democracy rooted in an individual, competitive, hierarchical and amensalist Western ontological framework fundamentally perpetuate group-based oppression. Therefore, the 1996 constitution and post-1994 South African constitutionalism secure and perpetuate the oppression of the indigenous conquered people under the guise of transformation and reconciliation.
From Sustainable Development to Ecologically Sustainable Development: A Reappraisal of Section 24(b)(iii) of the Constitution of South Africa, 1996
Authors: Chikuruwo Rufaro
Published: May 2024

This paper offers a conceptual analysis of ecologically sustainable development in contrast to sustainable development. The analysis focuses on ecologically sustainable development as encapsulated in section 24(b)(iii) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996. The paper argues that ecologically sustainable development denotes preserving earth’s ecological systems. The paper further argues that ecologically sustainable development, as contained in section 24(b)(iii) of the Constitution, requires a shift from the ambiguous concept of sustainable development to ecologically sustainable development. The paper highlights the importance of prioritising environmental concerns when considering economic or social development. In essence, the study emphasises that ecologically sustainable development, as embedded in section 24(b)(iii), seeks to sustain the environment and not development activities. The paper concludes that ecologically sustainable development is a vehicle for facilitating the necessary paradigm shift required for better environmental protection as per section 24(b)(iii).
Structural Inequalities in Namibia and South Africa: A Critical Social Work Perspective
Authors: Chiwara Peggie
Published: May 2024

Namibia and South Africa share land and maritime borders and the interrelated structural challenges of poverty and socio-economic inequalities amidst progressive economic growth that are rooted in their apartheid past and contemporary economic development trajectories. Such inequalities are defined along racial, class, gender and other social locations that either grant privilege, power and access to socio-economic opportunities or result in marginalisation, oppression and resource deprivation. The rationale for this article is linked to the historic call for social work to intensify efforts in promoting social and economic equality. Despite Namibia and South Africa’s geographical proximity and their intertwined histories, there is a dearth of social work studies that offer a comparative critical social work perspective on structural inequalities in these former apartheid strongholds. While social work should actively engage in contesting the structural contradictions of poverty and inequalities amidst abundant resources, the reality is often that of the uncritical acceptance of existing socio-political inequalities, such that the profession’s enunciated commitment to social justice becomes perimetric. Thus, the article argues for the inclusion of critical social work approaches in social work education and practice against a backdrop of ideological divides, political trends and contextual factors that limit social workers’ critical and structural level engagement.
Effectiveness of Hapa as Small Rainwater Harvesting Ponds for Sustainable Agricultural Development in Diversified Arid Regions: Comparative Case Studies From Bankura in India
Authors: Halder Subhra , Das Subhasish , Basu Snehamanju
Published: May 2024

Water is a unique constituent, which is essential for the survival of humans, animals and plants. Agriculture needs water in large quantities. Supplying irrigation water is a crucial factor in preserving groundwater, determining the water balance and subsequent cropping pattern of any region. The challenge is even greater when it is dryland. The present study is confined to the Bankura district, the arid region of West Bengal in India. Here, for irrigation, small customised ponds, known as hapa, are dug up by individual farmers to store the rainwater. The government encourages farmers by providing funds for hapa creation. In the last 10 years, about 2900 hapas, which can harvest a large quantity of water, have been dug up in croplands. This harvested water indirectly helps in recharging groundwater too. The present study aims to highlight the need for hapas in such arid regions. This study demonstrates a positive link between hapa creation with changing land use land cover patterns, increasing agricultural areas, growing population, and declining rainfall patterns. In support of this, spatial and statistical analyses were performed according to certain key remote sensing indices VCI, NDWI, and Z Scores of the pre-hapa and post-hapa creation periods. The study found that the implementation of the hapa irrigation technique has significantly increased the yield of crops besides generating agricultural labour. Land owners started cultivating multiple crops on their lands which helped to increase annual income. The complete research shows the noteworthiness of hapa irrigation technique as an alternative to a sustainable development programme in arid areas.

Published: May 2024

With people becoming more and more aware of the detrimental effects one’s lifestyle can have on health, people are shifting to what we refer to as “sugar-free” in the hope of being able to live a healthier life, but what we don’t know are the hidden effects these labeled products have. There are recent studies and comments about the hazardous effects that these sugar-free products have on both general and oral health. The recent World Health Organization recommendations suggest that the use of artificial sweeteners may pose a risk of cancer development, which raises many eyebrows as these artificially sweetened products have seen an extensive boon in the past few years due to the possible health benefits that are said to be associated with them. It sometimes appears that what we are told is beneficial for us one day and it is then said to be detrimental for us the next. This can make determining exactly what we should be doing to maintain our optimal health difficult. Hence, this review talks about the effects of non-sugar substitutes and what must be done about them.
