Kusmi lac yield in winter season as affected by weather and directional effect on ber (Zizyphus mauritiana) trees
Authors: GHOSAL S
Published: January 2024

An experiment consisting of 96 trees was laid out in the Institute Research Farm during June 2007–February 2010 to assess the influence of factors like directional effect of lac on ber trees (northern and southern halves) and rainfall pattern on lac yield and yield ratio (output: input of broodlac). Average lac yield ratio in southern half was 26% higher than northern half in 2007–08 and the same was 21% higher in 2008–09. More sunlight might have kept the tree canopy warmer, which might have boosted up growth and development of the lac insect on the southern half in first two years. Due to meager rainfall in third year, sunlight was not a limiting factor influencing yield which resulted in a non- significant difference. At the same time, mean lac yield ratio was 4.9 in first year as against 7.15 in the third year; difference was significant and it could be attributed to weather differences. The typical patterns of rainfall in three different years have been described in details which revealed that lac yield decreased significantly with intensity of rainfall, number of consecutive weeks with 50 mm rain, amount of rainfall received after sexual maturity etc. As a result, 31% reduction in lac yield ratio was observed in first year compared to third year. The study also indicated that lac yield from trees of smaller canopy spread are least affected due to adverse weather condition.

Authors: Urquiza Portilla Lisset
Published: January 2024

Introducción: cuando se refiere al término fraude en las investigaciones científicas, se pueden definir 3 modalidades fundamentales de este que van acorde a la búsqueda de estudios que no sean fácilmente rechazados: manipular datos, plagio y la creación de datos inexistentes.Objetivo: describir factores que permitan la detección del fraude científico en la investigación.  Métodos: se realizó una revisión de la bibliografía en el mes de diciembre de 2023 a través del acceso a las bases de datos Scopus, PubMed, Dialnet, Scielo, y el gestor de búsquedas Google Scholar versión 2022, con las estrategias: ((fraude) AND (redacción científica)), ((ciencia) AND (plagio)) y ((medicina) AND (inteligencia artificial) AND (fraude científico) AND (plagio) AND (invención de datos)) y sus traducciones a la lengua inglesa, limitada la búsqueda a los últimos 5 años –desde 2019 hasta 2023–.  Resultados: unido a la problemática de las revistas depredadoras ha surgido la terminología de revista secuestrada, no es más que aquella que toman artículos, roban nombres de editores, evaluadores o correctores de estilo, y a través de su uso, venden a las distintas páginas webs estudios científicos para su publicación. En la vida real y práctica este fenómeno ocurre por motivación económica.  Conclusiones: el fraude en el mundo de la comunicación científica abarca desde los autores, hasta los comités editoriales de las revistas, por lo cual ambos grupos deben instruirse en 2 factores fundamentales, no cometer fraudes y saber detectarlos, para de esta forma acrecentar en términos de credibilidad la ciencia actual

Introduction: smartphone use has substantially increased in the past decade, becoming an important part in population's usual activities, but the relationship between smartphone addiction, smartphone use, and neck disability in adults remains uncertain. The objective of this study: (1) investigate the association between neck disability and smartphone use time with socio-demographic characteristics, musculoskeletal symptoms, and smartphone addiction among university students; and (2) assess the association between smartphone addiction with socio-demographic characters, musculoskeletal symptoms.
Methods: 228 students (74 males and 154 females; average age 29,41 years old) were enrolled in the study. Participants answered questions about sociodemographic characteristics, smartphone time use, smartphone addiction (SAS-SV), musculoskeletal symptoms in the neck and upper limb, and neck disability (NDI).
Results: individuals with neck disability were associated with, gender, general health, presence of neck and shoulder pain, and smartphone addiction. More time spent on smartphones was associated with some socio-demographic characteristics, the presence of shoulder pain, and smartphone addiction.
Conclusions: smartphone addiction was associated with lower age, higher educational level, neck disability, and smartphone time use in students.
Supremacy of the Parliament and the Rule of Law in the UK: An Analysis
Authors: Dr. Syed Raza Shah Gilani  , Dr. Ali Mohammed Al-Matrooshi  , Ms. Aisha Nayab Qureshi
Published: January 2024

The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy, which means that the monarch must abide by a constitution that outlines the powers and limitations of the government. In the UK, the concept of the rule of law is central to the functioning of the legal system, and the principle of parliamentary sovereignty is considered to be a fundamental aspect of the constitution. However, the concept of the royal prerogative, which is the set of powers and privileges that historically belonged to the monarch, still exists. These powers include the right to appoint and dismiss ministers, to issue pardons, to grant honours and titles, to declare war, and to sign treaties. Although many of these powers have been transferred to the Parliament, some remain with the monarch and their use is subject to limited judicial review. While the concepts of the royal prerogative and parliamentary supremacy remain important aspects of the UK's constitutional framework, they must be balanced against the principle of the rule of law. The use of executive power must be subject to legal scrutiny, and Parliament must continue to act as a check on the government's actions to ensure that they are consistent with the rule of law.

Published: January 2024

O desenvolvimento motor, um processo contínuo de aquisição de habilidades, é considerado crucial desde os primeiros meses de vida. A pesquisa aborda a influência do ambiente escolar nesse desenvolvimento, destacando que as experiências físicas na infância moldam o desenvolvimento global do indivíduo. No entanto, nota-se uma crescente substituição de práticas ativas por atividades passivas, potencialmente impactando negativamente o desenvolvimento motor infantil. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa ressalta a necessidade de um currículo estruturado para a Educação Física na educação infantil, enfatizando o papel crucial da escola, especialmente da sala de aula. A metodologia empregada é de revisão integrativa de literatura. Os resultados destacam uma tendência consistente de desempenho motor abaixo da média, influenciado por idade e sexo. A ausência de correlações significativas entre diferentes testes indica a necessidade de uma abordagem mais abrangente na avaliação do desenvolvimento motor, reforçando a complexidade desse fenômeno.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar a ocorrência de Osteoartrite (OA) em esqueletos humanos de uma coleção osteológica do Nordeste do Brasil, observando a idade e o sexo mais afetados, bem como os ossos mais afetados pela patologia. A pesquisa foi realizada no Centro de Estudos de Antropologia Forense da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de Pernambuco (CEAF/FOP/UPE), Recife, Brasil. Os exames macroscópicos foram realizados em 123 esqueletos de ambos os sexos, com idade mínima de 60 anos. A presença de sinais indicativos de osteoartrite foi analisada em ossos da região vertebral lombar (vértebras lombares e articulação lombossacra), região pélvica (articulação sacroilíaca) e região cervical (vértebras C2 a C7). Observou-se que as vértebras lombares foram as mais afetadas pela patologia, com as faces inferiores mais comprometidas. A média de idade foi de 75,3 anos, com idade mínima de 60 e máxima de 109 anos, com maior ocorrência no sexo masculino. A alteração degenerativa mais comum da doença foi a porosidade, seguida por labiamento, osteófitos e eburnação.  A verificação da presença dessa patologia e de suas características pode contribuir efetivamente para a identificação humana forense, seja pela obtenção do perfil biológico quanto à estimativa de sexo e idade, seja como fator de individualização. Pesquisas como esta podem auxiliar com informações sobre a população brasileira, o que é extremamente necessário para a prática antropológica forense no país.

This research is the result of a qualitative descriptive study that aims to answer questions regarding the mechanism for the issuance of Kafalah products for Surety Bond Financing and Sharia Compliance for Kafalah Surety Bond Financing products at PT Penjaminan Jamkrindo Syariah Medan Branch Office. This research is a type of field research. Data collection was carried out through direct interviews with Surety Bond staff and other operational divisions at PT. Medan Sharia Jamkrindo Guarantee. Supported by the study of documents related to research, such as statutory regulations, DSN-MUI Fatwas, and Kafalah surety bond certificates and official websites. Then the results collected were analyzed in the form of a qualitative descriptive analysis method. The results of the research obtained are the first, regarding the mechanism of the process of issuing Kafalah products for Surety Bond Financing from three parties, namely the Project Owner (Obligee) then continued by the Contractor (Principal), namely the party that gives the achievement and finally we submit it to the Guarantee (Suretyship) /Surety Company) to process Company guarantees to be given or claimed to the principal and submitted to the obligee. secondly, namely in carrying out the guarantee business activities of PT. The Jamkrindo Syariah Guarantee uses the Kafalah contract as determined by the National Sharia Council, namely DSN-MUI FATWA No.11/DSN-MUI/IV/2000 concerning Kafalah, including its application in Kafalah Surety Bond Financing products. However, there are still a number of things that need to be emphasized again, one of the pillars and conditions of Makful Anhu, namely being known by the guarantor and being able to hand over his dependents to the guarantor. So here a Surety bond is a guarantee issued by an insurance company to help the obligee due to the failure of the principal to carry out the project (default). So surety bonds are an alternative form issued by loss insurance companies (Guarantee) and PT. The Jamkrindo Syariah guarantee is expected to be able to maintain adherence to Sharia Compliance, which is currently well fulfilled.

The Covid 19 pandemic brought changes to all aspects of people's social life. The obligation to carry out vaccines as a way of preventing this virus is growing and is mandatory for children to adulthood. Learning activities carried out online during the Covid 19 pandemic changed students' thoughts and habits that learning can be done online and they began to feel comfortable in these educational activities. However, is the administration of vaccines able to restore public confidence to return to activities, especially carrying out education offline? This study explores information about whether students in Indonesia are willing to study offline after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. The author uses a quantitative approach to get this answer. 3449 respondents who are students in all provinces of Indonesia were taken randomly through a questionnaire. The results of the study said that students are willing to study offline when they have been vaccinated against Covid-19. Other results state that older students are increasingly reluctant to be vaccinated (Gitiyarko, 2020). The novelty of this study is that researchers are trying to find answers to students' enthusiasm for offline lectures which must later be carried out after the Covid 19 pandemic and this research has never been researched by previous research
Inteligencia artificial: ¿aliada o adversaria de la creación gráfica?
Authors: Aguilar Campos Citlaly
Published: January 2024

Estamos en un escenario donde la inteligencia artificial (IA) se ha transformado en la protagonista de muchos procesos que involucran nuestra vida cotidiana y profesional. La automatización permea diferentes actividades, gracias a la recolección de información por parte de las diferentes IA, que permiten emulaciones de lo que hacemos de forma análoga. A fines de 2022, la app Lensa y su función de pago Magic Avatars abrió un gran debate sobre el uso de la IA como herramienta de creatividad computacional. Chat GPT en 2023 ha cobrado fuerza debido a sus grandes posibilidades creativas en diversos formatos, pero también ha abierto discusiones sobre la regulación en su uso. El presente texto tiene como objetivo dialogar sobre dos dimensiones: 1) explorar el potencial de la IA como herramienta de creación visual; esto a través de diferentes ejemplos de industrias culturales y 2) aproximarse a los riesgos que la IA trae a la labor de los artistas gráficos. Para fortalecer los argumentos, teóricamente se recurre a Heidegger con el emplazamiento de la técnica, Eric Sadin aporta la disyuntiva del tecno-logos; Ramón López de Mántaras ayuda a entender la creatividad computacional y Stuart Russell comparte lo que aporta la IA al humano. Para cerrar, M. McLuhan considera a los medios como extensiones del ser humano, dicha idea nos invita a transformar nuestros hábitos de percepción, ser conscientes que habitamos una cultura algorítmica. Se necesitan construir nuevas relaciones entre cuerpo-mente con estas tecnologías, que, a fin de cuentas, provienen de nuestra voluntad y acción.
Enhancing Rotary Machine Reliability Through Condition-Based Maintenance Optimization
Authors: Haq Sami ul , Akmal Muhammad
Published: January 2024

Rotary machines possess an inherent characteristic of generating vibrations, leading to the deterioration of critical components, particularly bearings and gears, ultimately failing the system. Vibration analysis is widely acknowledged as the predominant diagnostic technique employed for assessing the state of machinery and informing maintenance strategies. Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is a crucial component of proactive maintenance strategies that optimize machine availability by implementing timely interventions and minimizing costly breakdowns. This research endeavour aims to establish a comprehensive framework that enables evaluating the operational state of rotary machinery and its critical components, specifically emphasizing bearings. The interdependence between maintenance and machine health is evident, as a well-maintained machine requires minimal maintenance, while a machine undergoing deterioration requires immediate intervention. Rotary machines, which hold significant importance in various industrial processes, often face significant obstacles to bearing issues. These challenges lead to considerable disruptions in output and escalate maintenance costs. The current study examines the efficacy of CBM as a potential solution to the aforementioned issues. CBM is a maintenance strategy that utilizes real-time data on machine conditions to make informed decisions regarding maintenance interventions. By leveraging this approach, maintenance activities can be executed at the most opportune time, maximizing efficiency and effectiveness. CBM is a strategic approach that empowers enterprises to proactively mitigate failures, optimize maintenance schedules, and improve overall operational efficiency by accurately estimating the remaining usable life of machine components. This research study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on CBM, offering valuable insights into predictive maintenance and its potential to enhance the reliability and efficiency of rotary machinery.

Botryodiplodin (A Mycotoxin) detection in pathogenic Botryodiplodia theobromae isolated from diseased coconut fruits
Authors: Ekhorutomwen Osayomore , Nnamdi Chidi
Published: January 2024

Botryodiplodia theobromae is a threat to crops because it produces botryodiplodin, that plays a role in the initial stages of plant infection, creating necrotic areas through which it can easily penetrate. In addition, the botryodiplodin produced is not easily detected during quarantine, and other techniques developed to detect botryodiplodin are not easily practicable for screening numerous samples. Hence, the need to develop an in-culture pigment formation method to identify and differentiate toxigenic and non-toxigenic pathogenic isolates of B. theobromae. In this study, to detect botryodiplodin produced by isolates of B. theobromae, PDA, CDA and modified CDA media were used. Only the modified CDA medium enhanced the detection of botryodiplodin produced by B. theobromae isolates due to the addition of glycine into the medium. The effect of modified CDA composition or formulation, sucrose, and glycine concentrations on botryodiplodin detection were also evaluated. Study on the effect of the modified CDA composition on the detection of botryodiplodin produced by isolates of B. theobromae revealed that only sucrose stimulated the detection of botryodiplodin in comparison with other ingredients in the modified medium. In addition, the results from the study also reveals that increasing sucrose and glycine concentrations directly enhanced botryodiplodin detection, with optimum concentration of sucrose and glycine for detecting botryodiplodin by isolates of B. theobromae established at 15 and 10 g/l respectively. Hence, there is no need to increase the concentration of both sucrose and glycine above these established concentrations when preparing an in-culture medium for screening B. theobromae isolates capable of producing botryodiplodin.

Published: January 2024

Objective: Effects of heavy hair braiding on facial anthropometrics have raised concerns in recent times. These concerns arise from the potential impact on cultural practices and the implications for physical appearance and self-perception. This study aimed to investigate the effects of braiding on the soft anthropometrics in face and head among students in Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu Alike, Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Materials and methods: A total of 503 healthy participants, aged 19 to 25 years, were randomly recruited from an institution. Measurements of total facial length and face width were taken. A structured questionnaire was used, that contain anatomical, theatrical, and socio-psychological questions to evaluate the effects of braiding on the face and head. Participants responded using a Likert scale. Results: Mesocephalic shape was the commonest classification of the skulls based on cephalic indices. Relationship between age and facial parameters of the study population showed significant positive correlation (r = 0.17, p<0.05). Majority of respondents agreed that face type/facial structure determines the type of braid (n = 138) and braid can pull the forehead backward (n = 102). Conclusion: This study will contribute to understanding the influence of braiding on facial and head anthropometrics among Nigerian students. This information can inform discussions on cultural practices and their implications for physical appearance and self-perception.

Pada penelitian ini diterapkan seleksi fitur menggunakan Chi Square dan menerapkan Algoritma Naïve Bayes untuk menemukan atribut yang harus diprioritaskan dalam memprediksi stunting. Hasil prediksi dengan menggunakan Naive bayes saja pada penelitian ini didapatkan nilai akurasi sebesar 94,3 %, nilai recall sebesar 93,9 % dan nilai precision sebesar 93,93% dengan waktu 0,07 detik. Sedangkan dengan menerapkan seleksi fitur Chi square pada penelitian ini diperoleh 5 atribut yang paling berpengaruh terhadap prediksi stunting yang dapat meningkatkan kecepatan pembentukkan model Algoritma Naiva Bayes dengan waktu 0,01 detik, namun tidak dapat meningkatkan akurasi, recall dan presisi. Harapannya instansi terkait dapat lebih memperhatikan dan memprioritaskan ke-5 atribut tersebut sebagai pemantauan prediksi stunting di Kota Dumai.

Published: January 2024

Introducción: La salud mental es un campo de actuación de enfermería y más aún lo es la interculturalidad. Brindar cuidados integrales basadas en la evidencia a las comunidades originarias o étnicas se encuentra entre sus funciones y roles. Objetivo: Describir las perspectivas de enfermería en salud mental con enfoque intercultural en países de Latinoamérica. Metodología: Estudio cualitativo, diseño descriptivo, de corte transversal, la muestra fue seleccionada por conveniencia. Se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad, previo consentimiento informado, hasta la saturación teórica y se realizó análisis de contenido. Resultados: del análisis emergieron cuatro unidades temáticas: Abordaje de la salud mental en comunidades originarias o étnicas; relevancia de conocer sobre interculturalidad y salud mental; rol de enfermería en salud mental con enfoque intercultural y retos de las instituciones y sistema de salud en relación a la atención en salud mental con enfoque intercultural. Conclusión: El abordaje de la salud mental no se contempla en comunidades étnicas, se concibe a la persona como ser integral. El rol de enfermería en salud mental con enfoque intercultural dependerá de la formación y actitudes de los profesionales. Los retos presentes se relacionaron a la formación integral, repensar las prácticas, generar políticas con enfoque intercultural e implementarlas.

Authors: Azevedo Gilson Xavier de
Published: January 2024

O objetivo desse texto é discorrer sobre a concepção de Estado, Contrato Social e República em Samuel Pufendorf, a partir dos conceitos de Direito Natural, Direito Positivo, homem físico e homem jurídico. Parte-se do problema relacionado à necessidade de revisitar frequentemente os autores clássicos do jusnaturalismo para se entender o momento presente, sobretudo em relação às transformações modernas inauguradas por esse movimento. Aponta-se como hipótese que a compreensão do pensamento de Pufendorf por ampliar nosso olhar para entendermos o difícil momento histórico em que se vive, não somente no contexto europeu, mas também latino, onde se parece que foi instaurada uma guerra de todos contra todos do ponto de vista da segurança pública. Justifica-se o presente estudo como parte de um conjunto de artigos escritos a muitas mãos que comporão o livro Filosofia do direito entre os jusnaturalistas. Adotou-se por metodologia o estudo revisional, visitando algumas obras originais de Pufendorf para o enriquecimento da análise pretendida.
Trauma, Protest, Transcendence: Voice of a Bengali Dalit Playwright
Authors: Chakraborty Paunksnis Runa
Published: January 2024

The anthology with a number of illustrations is a collection of four plays by Raju Das, a Bengali Dalit activist and playwright, in English translations by translators including the author Dr. Chakraborty Paunksnis. Nothing of the kind is to date available as far as Bengali Dalit plays, or for that matter Bengali literature as a whole, are concerned. The book intends to make readers familiar with the complex system of caste through the plays of a Bengali Dalit playwright, Raju Das. This study is devoted to an aspect of Bengali literature that has so far received no international recognition at all. Dalit literature, i.e. the literature produced by low-caste (so-called “untouchable”) communities with social emancipation as its main aim, has to date mostly been associated with Marathi and Hindi literatures, and it was hardly known that there is such a thing as Bengali Dalit literature. It is therefore a very significant event that this study sheds light for the first time in the English medium on a highly significant development in the Bengali public sphere.

Cultivating Virtuous Imagination Among Asian American Dreamers in the Face of Violent Uncertainty
Authors: Cho Eunil David , Shin Wonchul ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2024

By examining the stories of Asian American Dreamers, or Asian American young adults with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, this essay investigates how these undocumented young adults cultivate virtuous imagination to transcend the violence of uncertainty and radically imagine new paths toward flourishing. The aversive state of structural uncertainty leads them to experience narrative foreclosure and the violent disruption of the pursuit of the good life. This essay subsequently proposes two kinds of stories as moral resources for empowering Asian American Dreamers to cultivate imaginative excellence in order to dream new paths toward flourishing and to resist the toxic internalization of the “model minority” myth: (1) religious stories demonstrating their steadfast commitment to God’s goodness and (2) stories of solidarity co-authored with their suffering neighbors.
Optimizing Urban Mobility: Innovative Sloped Road Design for Fuel Efficiency and Safety
Authors: Lie Xing , Xie Xing
Published: January 2024

In this paper, an urban road design concept is proposed that introduces gentle slopes along straight roads to optimize fuel efficiency between signalized intersections. These calculated inclines leverage gravitational forces, reducing vehicle fuel consumption. At signal crossings, a deliberate reversal of slope mitigates depth accumulation concerns, promoting safe intersection navigation. Smooth transition zones enhance road stability and drain depth adjustments accommodate stormwater management. Collaborative efforts with experts and public awareness initiatives are vital for successful implementation. This innovative concept combines technical precision, safety considerations, and environmental sustainability, offering a holistic approach to urban road design for enhanced efficiency and user experience.

Stunting is a condition of chronic malnutrition that can cause children to experience health problems such as susceptibility to disease and a decrease in productivity levels. Factors that can cause stunting include insufficient food sources, parenting, and economic conditions. This work program aims to increase public knowledge about stunting in children from an early age. As well as educating parents about foods that can prevent stunting in children. Socialization is carried out in the form of delivering material related to counseling on what stunting is, its characteristics, the impact of stunting, and prevention of stunting. The low knowledge of mothers about stunting in Munsaloh Village encouraged Riau University KKN students to invite the community to participate in counseling efforts to prevent stunting from an early age. Understanding about stunting counseling efforts is expected to help the community increase knowledge about fulfilling balanced nutrition, exclusive breastfeeding, and complementary foods (MPASI) as a form of prevention against stunting.
Improving Mother’s Knowledge in Early Detection of Pregnancy and Childbirth Complication
Authors: Elmeida Ika Fitria , Purwaningsih Dewi , Risneni Risneni , Suja Monica Dara Delia
Published: January 2024

Pregnancy and childbirth complications and high risks, which are estimated to occur in 15–20% of pregnant women, are not all detected early. For those detected, not all of them have been handled in a timely and adequate manner. In one of the provinces in Indonesia, namely Lampung, there are still many women giving birth at home. Research results in the form of population-based information about birth complications in mothers must rely on reporting about mothers' experiences through interviews. The Community Health Center has carried out health promotion activities both periodically and incidentally about the health of mothers and babies. However, it is very unfortunate that people do not really understand the danger signs and how to detect early labor, so treatment is still too late. The targets for this activity were 30 pregnant and breastfeeding mothers who came to Posyandu. The types of activities carried out include providing education about recognizing the danger signs of pregnancy and childbirth and using the IKA-LIN booklet as an instrument for detecting childbirth complications. All community service participants were given a pre-test, followed by a presentation regarding the danger signs of pregnancy, after which booklets were given to all participants, and the final stage was the post-test. The final session also included questions and answers regarding the mother's experience during childbirth. There was an increase in mothers' knowledge based on the results of the pre-test and post-test.
