Published: August 2024

This research aims to find out how much the selling price influences the income level of rice farmers in Tanjung Selamat Village, Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency. The type of research used is a quantitative approach method. The population in this research is rice farmers in Tanjung Selamat Village, Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency. The samples in this research were 78 rice farmers. The type and technique of data collection used in this research is primary data using a questionnaire. The data analysis methods used are instrument tests, namely validity and reliability tests, Descriptive Statistical Analysis, Simple Regression Analysis, Hypothesis Testing, namely the t test (partial test) and the Coefficient of Determination (R2) test. The results of this research show that the selling price variable has a tcount value of 9.208 while the ttable is 1.991, indicating that the tcount > ttable value is significant at 0.000 because the significance is smaller than 0.05 (0.000<0.05) so it can be concluded that partially the Selling Price (x) significantly influences Income (Y). This is indicated by a tcount value of 9.208 ttable 1.991 and a significant value of 0.000<0.05. The Determination Coefficient (R2) was obtained at 0.527 so it can be seen that the ability of the Selling Price (X) variable to explain the Income (Y) variable is 0.527 or 52.7% and the remaining 47.3% is explained by other variables not included in the research model This. It is recommended that rice farmers pay more attention to determining selling prices. Because setting selling prices greatly affects farmers' income. Apart from paying attention to the selling price, farmers must also pay attention to all the costs incurred in maintaining rice.

Authors: Ávila Barriga Sabrina , Gutkowski Karina
Published: August 2024

La globalización y su expansión como proyecto histórico de integración mundial ha generado fuertes presiones económicas en los contextos agrícolas latinoamericanos, modificando la forma en que se comprende y configuran estos espacios. La disminución de distancias y apertura de los mercados ha posicionado al sector agroalimentario latinoamericano de forma estratégica en un escenario de proyecciones de aumento de la demanda de alimentos, emergentes cambios tecnológicos y nuevas presiones ambientales. Esta situación llevó a la FAO a definir lineamientos que involucran al actual sistema agroalimentario para el logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) para 2030, que se consolidó en el año 2015 con la publicación de la propuesta de sistemas alimentarios sostenibles para la creación de sistemas ambientales, económicos y sociales en torno a la alimentación, que se caracterizan por la optimización de los recursos y la sensibilización de los consumidores. A partir de la problemática, el presente documento desarrolla cinco apartados en torno al escenario agroalimentario actual; inicia presentando una breve reseña de la globalización como proyecto histórico y los cambios más relevantes en el sector agrícola latinoamericano desde entonces, luego se expone la propuesta de la FAO sobre sistemas alimentarios sostenibles y sus implicancias respecto a los conceptos de seguridad y soberanía alimentaria, para concluir con los resultados de una revisión bibliográfica sobre la producción académica de los últimos 10 años (2015-2024) en torno a los sistemas agroalimentarios en América Latina, que arrojó 199 documentos de los cuales 20 fueron relevantes para iluminar hacia dónde se dirige el panorama agroalimentario latinoamericano. Finalmente, se presentan algunas observaciones finales sobre la revisión.

Authors: Moraes LH Rapucci
Published: August 2024

It can be stated that neoplasms found in the cephalic and cervical regions are rare, given their incidence of only 3%, when compared to other malignant cancers that affect humans. Within this statistic, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) stands out as the most common histological class. Such tumors, although uncommon, are of great clinical importance and their severity is closely related to the tumor stage at the time of diagnosis. Furthermore, it is worth highlighting that the location of the mass is of great importance, as it is a region made up of numerous noble structures, making surgical procedures unfeasible as a treatment option, given that there is extensive anatomical complexity. This research is characterized by being a case report of anatomical and histopathological findings of SCC (squamous cell carcinoma) in the right nasal cavity of a cadaver, with undetermined name, located at the Anatomical Center I of UNIFENAS, Alfenas campus.
Improvement of Pain-Free Walking Distance with Implementation of Treadmill Protocol
Authors: N Thurston
Published: August 2024

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) may cause lower extremity pain that can impair activities of daily living. At a vascular clinic in rural New Mexico, peripheral arterial disease patients are managed but their symptoms continue to worsen so an evidence- based solution was sought. The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental project was to determine if or to what degree the translation of McDermott et al.’s published research on the Gardner-Skinner Protocol will impact the pain-free walking distance when compared to current practice among peripheral arterial disease patients with intermittent claudication in a university activity center in rural New Mexico over four weeks. Dorothea Orem's self-care theory and Kurt Lewin's change theory provided the project's theoretical foundations. Data on walking distance was measured using the Six-Minute Walk Test in PAD patients (n = 12) and were compared at baseline and four weeks post-implementation of the intervention. A paired t-test showed no statistically significant difference in pain-free walking distance from baseline (M = 267.85, SD = 244.05) to post-intervention (M= 339.58, SD= 191.42), t (11) = -1.27, p= .23. Despite the lack of statistical significance, there was clinical significance in that the mean increase in pain-free walking distance increased by 70.83 feet. Therefore, the implementation of the Gardner-Skinner Protocol may improve walking distance in this population of patients. Recommendations are to continue the implementation and continue to analyze data for six months prior to dissemination.

DIMENSI BUDAYA INDIVIDUALISM-COLLECTIVISM PADA EKSPATRIAT (TENAGA KERJA ASING) DALAM INDUSTRI PERHOTELAN DI BALI
Authors: Dewi Ni Gusti Ayu Susrami , Dariwardani Ni Made Inna
Published: August 2024

Pariwisata adalah salah satu sektor yang menghasilkan banyak migrasi tenaga kerja, baik antar negara maupun antar daerah. Bali sebagai salah satu sentra pariwisata Indonesia, memiliki sejumlah warga negara asing atau ekspatriat yang bekerja khususnya pada industri perhotelan dan umumnya mereka ada pada level manajerial. Penelitian ini mengkaji sejauh mana implikasi dimensi budaya individualisme-kolektivisme dari Hofstede (1980) pada ekspatriat di industri perhotelan dan bagaimana mereka dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan perbedaan budaya tersebut. Dilakukan analisis komparasi Individualism-Collectivism Index (IDV) dari negara – negara asal para ekspatriat untuk dibandingkan dengan nilai IDV Indonesia sebagai pendekatan nilai IDV Bali yang disajikan secara deskriptif berdasarkan kajian studi literatur.  Ditemukan perbedaan yang cukup mencolok antara nilai IDV Bali dengan nilai IDV negara – negara asal para ekspatriat khususnya negara – negara  barat seperti Amerika Serikat, Australia, dan Inggris yang memiliki nilai IDV yang tinggi (lebih dari 50) yang menunjukkan bahwa dimensi budaya mereka lebih kepada individualisme, sementara nilai IDV Indonesia termasuk Bali tergolong rendah sebagai cerminan budaya kolektivisme. Dengan demikian, ekspatriat yang ditugaskan pada hotel-hotel di Bali yang berasal dari negara dengan karakteristik individualistik hendaknya menyesuaikan diri dengan karakteristik karyawan lokal di Bali yang cenderung kolektif dengan mengimplementasikan karakteristik kolektivisme dalam manajemen sumber daya manusianya yaitu berbasis kinerja kelompok.

Mass Media and Coverage of Conflict Situations in Nigeria: Implications for National Security and Integration in the Fourth Republic
Authors: Ojo Mathew Olusola , Layefa Goodluck , Bodunde David Oluwafemi
Published: August 2024

Contlict situations in post-colonial Nigeria, ranging from communal violence, indigenes/settlers crises, environmental disasters, electoral violence, political upheavals to terrorist insurgency and the attendant increasing volume of media attention they receive seem to create a sense of insecurity and disintegration within the body polity. This paper examines the role of the mass media in covering conflict situations in Nigeria within the context of the subtle elements of insecurity and social disharmony among the constituent units of the country. The paper posits that mass media coverage of contlict situations, especially in a multi-ethnic society like Nigeria should not only employ meticulous reportage that take cognizance of balance handling of all sides of the conflicts and resist explanation for violence in terms of group hatred and mutual suspicion but also avoid giving undue attention to violence, focusing rather on the domino effect of violence on political stability and democratic govemance in the body polity. The paper further posits that despite the challenges before mass media practitioners vis - a - vis govemment hostilities, poor remuneration, harassment and murder, etc., the employment of contlict-sensitivecoverage is imperative for effective contlict management and peace-building in the interest of national security and integration in Nigeria's Fourth Republic.

Authors: Aworawo Friday
Published: August 2024

An increase in intra-state armed conflicts in Africa since independence has elicited the responses of the international community to resolve or manage them through the mechanism of peacekeeping operations initiated by the United Nations or regional organizations in Africa. The degrees of success or otherwise of peacekeeping operations has also varied. And since armed conflicts are inescapable, endemic and it's also an integral part of human existence. then efforts at resolving them through peacekeeping are likely to endure. Hence, it is imperative to take a critical look at peacekeeping operations in Africa with a view to improve better performance in the future. It is against this background that this article examines the nature, pattern, impact and efficacy of the United Nations (UN), African Union (AU), Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) peacekeeping operations in Africa and maintains that the prospect of successful peacekeeping operations in Africa lies in a tremendous collaboration between regional organizations in Africa and the United Nations. It concludes that the United Nations should provide required finance and expertise to complement Africans' knowledge and mastering of the environment for successful future peacekeeping operations.

Authors: Oluyele Sunday , Akingbade Juwon , Akinode Victor , Idoghor Royal
Published: August 2024

Often, prospective tenants need to know the rental price of an apartment, and homeowners need to know how best to price their apartments. This work aims to predict house rental prices in Lagos, Nigeria, using machine learning by examining the relationship between the rental price and features such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, toilets, location and house status(newly built, furnished, and/or serviced). Five machine learning models were trained and evaluated using mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE) and r-square (R2); the random forest regression model outperformed the other four models with the lowest MAE, RMSE and the highest R2. This study also revealed that the number of bedrooms and the apartment's location are the most significant predictors, confirmed using the feature importance analysis. The developed model can be used to estimate the rental price of a property in Lagos, Nigeria.

Authors: Chen Zhongbin
Published: August 2024

In the fast-evolving technology sector, the dynamic relationships between innovation and tradition form a critical pivot for companies that make their efforts to achieve sustained growth. This study conducts a comprehensive SWOT analysis to explore how two leading Chinese technology giants, 360 Security Technology Inc. (360) and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (Huawei), face the challenge through their strategic investments in Research and Development (R&D). Utilizing qualitative and quantitative approaches, this research examines secondary data sources, including annual reports, financial statements, and industry publications, to analyze the impact of R&D investments on the companies' financial outcomes and market positioning. The findings reveal distinct strategies, with Huawei aggressively pursuing innovation, particularly in telecommunications and consumer electronics, while 360 adopts a balanced approach between innovative internet security solutions and traditional business models. The study highlights the double-edged nature of innovation - as a driver of growth and a source of vulnerability - and underscores the stabilizing role of tradition in the volatile technology market. By comparing and contrasting these approaches, the research sheds light on the strategic decisions technology firms face in allocating resources to R&D. The implications of this study extend to practitioners and policymakers, offering insights into fostering environments that support both innovation and tradition. This research contributes to the strategic management literature by providing a nuanced understanding of how technology companies can leverage R&D investments to navigate the complexities of innovation and tradition, ensuring a competitive edge and financial success.
Portfolio Analysis of Five Stocks Under Different Constraints Based on Markowitz Model & Index Model
Authors: Shi Yanfei
Published: August 2024

Since the dawn of the 21st century, while there has been an abundance of talented fund managers, truly exceptional asset portfolios have been rare. Addressing this phenomenon, the study delves into the current state of asset management, employing two renowned financial models: the Markowitz model and the Index model. These models are utilized to analyze the returns and risks of five high-performing assets. Additionally, acknowledging the diversity of investor preferences, this paper incorporates five different constraints to cater to a wider spectrum of client needs. The crux of the research is the optimization of the asset portfolio, grounded in these models and constraints. The paper findings indicate that the integration of the Markowitz and Index models with the capital market line and the efficient frontier proves highly effective in the management of risk asset portfolios. In this paper, the Markowitz model consistently excels over the index model in both minvariance and maxsharpe scenarios. This study has important reference value for investors in related fields.

Critical Roles of IL-40 and IL-41 in the Determination of the Severity of Hydatid Cyst Infection in Iraqi Patients
Authors: Idan Ekhlas Mushref
Published: August 2024

Background: Hydatid cystic disease is a serious public health concern worldwide, and the link between the intermediate host (human) and parasite is important to the disease's etiology and severity. Objective: Determine the levels of IL-40 and IL-41 in the serum of Iraqi patients infected with hydatid disease, as well as their function in disease severity. Methods: The quantified ELISA was used to assess the levels of IL-40 and IL-41 in serum from 35 persons in Baghdad, Iraq, who had been diagnosed with hydatid cysts and were undergoing surgery to remove them. In addition, control samples from forty healthy individuals were taken for comparison purposes. Results: The patients' ages ranged from 8 to 63. Females had higher infection rates than males. Rural areas have a higher rate of infection than urban areas. The lungs and liver were the most severely injured. The majority of lung infections resulted in coughs and chest discomfort, whereas liver damage resulted in stomach pain as well as substantial changes in hematological parameters (white blood cells, hemoglobin, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate), liver enzyme, and C-reactive protein in patients compared to controls. Patients had lower IL-40 levels than the control group, but significantly higher IL-41 levels (p<0.05) than healthy controls. Conclusions: Patients with hydatid cysts showed higher serum levels of IL-41 and lower levels of IL-40, which may correlate with disease severity and act as biomarkers for chronic hydatid cyst infection.

Iskolai sport-kihívások és esélyek
Authors: Lepes Josip
Published: August 2024

Az iskolai sport fontossága és szerepe a gyermekek és fiatalok harmonikus fejlődésében, egészségében, tanulásában különösen aktuális kérdés a mai, modern társadalomban. A testneveléshez, testmozgáshoz és sporthoz való jog az UNESCO Charta szerint egyetemes emberi jog. A testmozgás, a sportolás a mindennapi élet szerves részét kell, hogy képezze, aminek ösztönző és biztonságos környezetben kell megvalósulnia.  A tanulók számára az iskolai sport ebben az értelemben az egyik legjobb megoldás.
A szervezett keretek között történő fizikai aktivitás nagyban hozzájárul az egyre inkább elterjedő mozgásszegény életmód káros következményeinek leküzdéséhez. A fiatalok számára pozitív környezetben, a sporttevékenységen keresztül nyílik esély arra, hogy megerősítsék önbizalmukat, fejlesszék szociális készségeiket, valamint hogy megfelelő ösztönzést kapjanak az egész életre szóló fizikai aktivitásra.
 A gyermekeket már kisiskolás korban célszerű bevonni az iskolai sportba, hiszen a testmozgás iránti elköteleződés korai kialakítása mellett ez az időszak a legfontosabb különféle mozgáskészségek elsajátítása szempontjából. A tanulók elsősorban a szórakozás, a kihívás, a társaság, új sportkészségek elsajátítása miatt döntenek az iskolai sport mellett, ami többnyire pozitív érzelmi, kognitív és viselkedési következményekkel is együtt jár. Ezért is fontos, hogy abban a részvétel öröme, a fejlődés lehetősége, a sokszínűség, a szórakozás és a csapatszellem kerüljön előtérbe, az élsport negatívumai (pl. a győzelem kényszere, a túlzott terhelés, erőszak) pedig az iskolai sportpályákon kívül maradjanak.  Az egyén számára nyújtott előnyök mellett az iskolai sport hozzájárulhat az iskola szellemiségéhez, imázsához, közegészségügy hatékonyságához és az oktatás minőségének növeléséhez.
Szeged legnagyobb közterületi parkjának szabadidősportja, különös tekintettel a nemenkénti eltérésekre

Tanulmányunk célja Szeged legnagyobb közterületi parkja, a nemrégiben felújított Erzsébet-liget rekreációs sportjának bemutatása felnőtt szabadidő-sportolóinak összetételén, sportolási szokásain keresztül, különös tekintettel a nemenkénti eltérésekre. Hipotéziseink szerint a Ligetben rekreációs céllal sportoló felnőtt férfiak és nők szociodemográfiai háttere, a park elérésének sajátosságai, az edzőhelyek használata és az azokkal való elégedettség, valamint a park mint sportszíntér választásának indítéka nem különbözik számottevő mértékben egymástól. Mindamellett valószínűsítettük, hogy a sportaktivitás gyakoriságában és terjedelmében különbség mutatkozik a férfiak javára.
Adatfelvételünk véletlenszerű helyszíni mintavételezéssel, anonim, papíralapú kérdőív lekérdezésével valósult meg (N=108). A változók közötti kapcsolatok feltárására Pearson-féle Khi-négyzet tesztet, a Fisher-féle egzakt tesztet és a Spearman-féle rangkorrelációs eljárást, az elégedettség mérésére Likert-skálát alkalmaztuk.
A sportolókat fiatalos korösszetétel, a diplomások és a foglalkoztatottak magas aránya jellemezte, amiben a férfiak és nők mutatói különböztek szignifikáns mértékben egymástól. A Liget elérésének távolsága és módja, valamint a sportolás napszak szerinti ideje szintén nem mutatott nemenkénti eltéréseket. A nők azonban lényegesen több időt szántak a Ligetbe való eljutásra, mint a férfiak. A férfiak sportaktivitása mind a gyakoriságot, mind az edzésidőt tekintve magasabb volt a nőkénél.
A legkedveltebb edzőhelyek a futópályák, a nyílt füves területek és a szabadtéri fitneszállomások. A sportolási lehetőségek kiválasztásában, az azokkal való elégedettségben, valamint az edzésekre való felkészülésben nem találtunk nemenkénti differenciákat. A sportolók elsősorban a jó levegő, a természet szeretete és a műanyag borítású futópálya miatt járnak a Ligetbe mozogni, s bár a férfiak és nők preferenciái némileg eltértek egymástól, a különbségek statisztikai szempontból nem voltak számottevőek.
Beszámoló az MTA Szegedi Akadémiai Bizottság, Orvostudományi Szakbizottság, Sporttudományi Munkabizottságának 2023. évi üléseiről
Authors: Győri Ferenc József , Lengyel Csaba
Published: August 2024

Az MTA Szegedi Akadémiai Bizottság (SZAB) Orvostudományi Szakbizottság Sporttudományi Munkabizottsága két tudományos ülést rendezett a 2023-ban.
Az elsőre „Izombiokémiai kutatások Szegeden – múlt, jelen, jövő” címmel került sor a Gál Ferenc Egyetemen, melyen három hazai egyetem kutatói számoltak be eredményeikről. A szimpózium résztvevői betekintést nyerhettek a szegedi izombiokémiai kutatások történetébe; a különböző betegségek, izomdisztófiák, vagy az öregedés során csökkent tömegű vázizmok regenerációjának, izomméret-szabályozásának és a vázizom-metabolizmusának mechanizmusaiba; a vázizom glükózfelvételének jelentőségébe a vércukorszint szabályozásában; a 2-es típusú cukorbetegség alapját képező szénhidrát-anyagcsere zavarokba, a mellette fennálló mitokondriális diszfunkció és foszfolipid metabolizmus zavaraiba, illetve gyógyszeres kezelésének lehetőségeibe; s végül, de nem utolsó sorban az izomláz legújabb, heveny kompressziós axonopáthia elméletébe.
A második tudományos tanácskozásnak, amely „A fizikai aktivitás pszichológiai, pedagógiai, társadalmi összefüggései” címet viselte, a SZAB székháza adott otthont. A sport társadalomtudományi aspektusai iránt érdeklődők előadásokat hallhattak a serdülő sportolók szülőktől való egészséges eltávolodásának jelentőségéről és szerepéről a sportmotivációs bázis kialakulásában; a gyermekek sportélvezetének és énképének pozitív kapcsolatáról; valamint a testedzésfüggőség fokozott veszélyeiről, amennyiben az további pszichés és egyéb kórképpel együtt jelentkezik. Szó esett a lakossági vélemények megismerésének fontosságáról a sportrendezvények tervezési szakaszában és az eseményt követően; megismerhettük a perzisztáló reflexek és a fundamentális mozgásdeficitek mozgástanulást gátló hatásását, az időben megkezdett mozgásfejlesztés szükségességét; tájékozódhattunk arról, hogy miként hat a betegedukáció, a betegségspecifikus tudás átadása a gerincbántalmak csökkentésére; s végül arról, hogy miként zajlott a sporttudományi alapképzési szakok (BSc/BA) elvárt tanulási eredményeinek megújítása a felsőoktatásban.
The Differentiated Roles of Mega-events in Reshaping International Relations in East Asia: A Recent Decade Review
Authors: Tan Zhaoshuaitian
Published: August 2024

In the past fifteen years, mega-events in East Asia have experienced a significant shift in their nature and impact on international relations. Historically seen as positive platforms for cultural exchange and regional stability, these events have increasingly become sources of conflict and geopolitical tension. This paper provides a comprehensive review and typology of mega-events, categorizing them into five types: geopolitical conflicts, crises under the Sino-American framework, ideological and propaganda issues, territorial disputes, and environmental issues. The study reveals how these events now exacerbate regional tensions and highlights the need for more nuanced and detailed research to understand their evolving roles. By examining these trends, this paper contributes to the understanding of mega-events' multifaceted impacts on the socio-political landscape of East Asia, offering insights for policymakers and scholars to navigate future regional dynamics.
Analysis of the Security Impact of AUKUS on the South China Sea: Based on Defensive Realism Analysis
Authors: Li Yida
Published: August 2024

The formation of the AUKUS alliance (comprising Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States) represents a pivotal development in the geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific region. Formed with the objective of countering Chinas growing influence through the sharing of advanced technology, including nuclear-powered submarines, the alliance signals a significant shift in the regional geopolitical landscape. This paper employs a defensive realist lens to analyse AUKUS, examining its strategic motivations and regional security implications, particularly in the South China Sea. The research investigates how, despite its ostensible defensive intent, AUKUS is perceived by China as a provocation, thereby intensifying the security dilemma. Furthermore, the study assesses the United Kingdoms perspective on AUKUS as a vital instrument for sustaining its global influence in the post-Brexit era. This paper identifies a plethora of technical, logistical, financial, and diplomatic challenges confronting the alliance.
Study of the Subjectivity of ChatGPT in Literary Creation from the Perspective of the Media Equation
Authors: Zhu Kexin
Published: August 2024

Based on the perspective of The Media Equation, this study explores the issues of creative subject logic, intersubjective relationships, and subject rights brought about by the involvement of large language model technology, represented by ChatGPT, in literary creation. From the aspect of creative subject logic, although ChatGPT can generate structurally rigorous and grammatically standard texts, it still has noticeable deficiencies in emotional depth and originality compared to human creators. This phenomenon not only triggers a profound reflection on the essence of AI creation but also prompts a reevaluation of the importance of emotion in literary creation. From the aspect of intersubjective relationships, the emergence of ChatGPT has changed the relationship pattern between authors, readers, and AI, constructing a new triangular interactive model. This shift in power requires a redefinition of the boundaries of literary creation and an exploration of new paradigms of human-machine collaboration in creation. From the aspect of subject rights, the development of technology also poses new challenges to the existing legal system, especially copyright law. How to reasonably define the legal status of AI-generated content while protecting originality and encouraging human creation has become an urgent issue to be addressed.
A Comparative Study of China and U.S.: The Influence of Digital Divide on Education Inequality and Its Mitigating Policies
Authors: Shi Jiayi
Published: August 2024

Under the digital age, the method of learning expanded to the virtual setting. With resources shared through online platforms, digital divide became a new problem in achieving education equality. This paper intends to examine the effect of digital divide on educational system in the U.S. and China from a comparative perspective. This study adopts literature review as its research method. Types of digital divide that occurs in the two countries showcase some similarities, yet the factors attributing to the educational digital divide varies widely. Educational divide exists in different social groups. Systematic and cultural differences are the root behind these factors. In the U.S., digital divide occurred due to differences at multiple levels: race, state, schools, and family SES. In China, digital divide occurs due to geological divergence, generational division, and social class. The root Moreover, mitigating policies from the two countries illustrate how the U.S. and China access the issue from different perspective. The root behind such contrast is the difference in the two countries social system and cultural attitudes. The two countries can inspire each other and the world in creating better solutions to solve this new form of education inequality.
