Published: September 2024

The rising prevalence of health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke, along with the high costs associated with conventional wine, have presented significant challenges for consumers. This study aimed to develop an affordable and health-conscious wine using date palm fruit, enabling home production. The process involved extracting pulp from healthy date fruits and fermenting it with Saccharomyces cerevisiae EC-1118 yeast and sugar. To enhance the wine’s flavor and medicinal value, various spices, including ginger and turmeric, were incorporated. Additionally, honey was added to certain samples to increase antioxidant activity. The fermentation process spanned approximately 10 days, during which key parameters such as Alcohol by Weight (AFD), volatile acidity (Vc), and fixed acidity (Fv) were measured. Post-fermentation, biochemical and enological analyses revealed ethanol content ranging from 9% to 11% and volatile acidity between 3 to 9 g/L. Both sensory and non-sensory evaluations were conducted to assess the organoleptic qualities of the wine, with findings indicating that the wine produced from fermented date fruit pulp was organoleptically superior. Furthermore, storage studies demonstrated that the wine could be refrigerated for up to one month without any significant loss in taste or flavor.
Narrativas de otredad y mismidad: Miradas de la primera práctica profesional
Authors: Madrigal Malvaez Anabel , Lázaro Santos Uzziel Aminadab
Published: September 2024

El presente estudio cualitativo, es un reporte de resultados parcial, que documenta las narrativas del estudiante normalista de la Licenciatura en Educación Primaria, que profundiza su experiencia, durante las jornadas de prácticas de observación en las Escuelas Primarias Publicas del Estado de México, desde las formas en que los actores escolares participan e interactúan en la institución. Desde ese despliegue se encontrando entramados de significación en situaciones que generaban tensiones entre niños, niñas y docentes, que son propios del encuentro con la otredad en la cotidianidad escolar, en narrativas como: ““El viaje de Gabriel fuera del salón de clases”, “El día que me rendí ante la fantasía de la maestra” y “El rarito del salón”, donde se pudieron construir interpretaciones de sentido del contexto del relato, con una categoría prestada de Ricoeur (2001) y Skliar (2012), sobre la otredad y mismidad, quienes mencionan, que la mismidad es la idea que apela a la unicidad del ser y no a la condición que adquiere por el hecho de devenir como sugiere, en cambio, la noción de otredad, que refiere a la condición de ser diferente, desde el yo radicalmente otro. Así, se logró distinguir mismidades como: “Gabriel debe ser ordenado”, “Fui obligado a no contradecir a la maestra” y “Juan debe ser homogéneo para encajar”. Por otra parte, se encontraron otredades como: “Parece que le quema el asiento”, “no me veo reflejado en ella” y “es el rarito del salón”.

Presenteeism and Job Performance in the Aviation Industry: A Study on Ground Handling Business Employees
Authors: Vural Selvi
Published: September 2024

The aim of this study is to determine the impact of presenteeism on job performance. In the scope of the research, job performance has been exami-ned in terms of both contextual and task performance. This study was con-ducted with the participation of personnel responsible for ground handling services in the aviation sector. Given the determined objective, it was deci-ded that the quantitative method is suitable for the research, and data were obtained through scale forms. To assess employees' presenteeism tendencies, the "Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS-6)" was utilized, while the "Job Per-formance Scale" was employed to measure job performance. The findings suggest that presenteeism impacts job performance in both task and con-textual dimensions. The results demonstrate that presenteeism significantly and positively affects both areas of job performance. This study highlights the beneficial effect of presenteeism on job performance. However, this sig-nificant positive relationship between presenteeism and performance does not entirely eliminate the fact that presenteeism is seen as a problem in busi-nesses.

Threshold Cointegration and Granger Causality Between CPI And PPI In Selected Countries
Authors: Yin Woo Kai- , Xuan Jia Lin-
Published: September 2024

This paper mainly investigates the threshold cointegration and Granger-causality relationships between the CPI and PPI series in the selected countries for policymakers to effectively control inflation. We first applied the unit root test to ensure the integration order of all the series, and then both the linear Engle-Granger (E-G) and the nonlinear Enders-Siklos (E-S) cointegration tests for comparative analysis. Lastly, Granger causality tests are adopted in the momentum threshold vector error correction model (M-TVECM), which is used to estimate the different speeds of adjustment and explore the causal relationship between CPI and PPI in the selected countries. While the E-G test cannot detect cointegration in almost all countries, the E-S test with higher power when there is asymmetric adjustment, supports the cointegration relationship in Canada, Denmark, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, Spain, and Uruguay. The evidence also supports the existence of asymmetric threshold adjustment in all cointegrated systems. In addition, the empirical results indicate that Granger causality in the M-TVECM can be classified into two categories. One kind is about CPI leading to PPI, including Spain only while another kind is about bidirectional causality between CPI and PPI for other countries in the M-TVECM.
The Impact of Low Employee Morale on Labour Turnover: A Case of Kwazulu-Natal Liquor Authority
Authors: Memory Magubane Nokubonga , Tony Simphiwe Ngwenya Charles
Published: September 2024

As a state-owned entity mandated to deliver public value, the KwaZulu-Natal Liquor Authority (KZNLA) has faced challenges and constraints due to high labour turnover and subdued employee morale, negatively affecting productivity and organisational performance. The study's significance and rationale were to examine the impact of low employee morale on labour turnover and attrition within the organisation to mitigate and de-risk its pervasiveness that negatively affects employee morale and organisational performance or productivity. The study used a quantitative, positivism-oriented, and deductive-inclined approach, and data collection was done through a questionnaire. The target population encapsulated the permanent and fixed-term employees of KZNLA, totalling 167. Data analysis was undertaken using the SmartPLS 4 statistical tool. The SmartPLS 4 statistical and structural equation modelling (SEM) collaboration was undertaken for the partial least squares (PLS) path modelling method. The study findings indicated that KZNLA employees currently are subjected to low morale levels and are responsible for labour turnover and low productivity. The study also revealed that KZNLA experiences unabating proportions of employee attrition, work overload, subdued recognition, non-competitive rewards and remuneration, perceived lack of benefits, skewed organisational culture and structure, and poor consultative communication from leadership or top management. Furthermore, the study's findings recommended that KZNLA undertake a benchmarking exercise that compares and contrasts the rewards system, culture, and strategic thrust of similar state-owned entities regarding employee motivation and retention strategies to bolster employee morale and reduce labour turnover. The rationalisation process's prioritisation aims to improve employee morale by creating a conducive motivational environment.

A neutral introduction to virtue ethics – the oldest ethical approach in the history of philosophy, dating back to Aristotle and Plato, but in decline since the Enlightenment. At the end of the 20th century, virtue ethics experienced a renaissance and is now considered one of the three major paradigms of normative ethics, along with consequentialism and deontology. The role of virtue in the sense of excellence of character and intellect can be motivated from the perspective of very different (meta-)ethical positions. This introduction presents the variety of approaches to virtue ethics in a new and systematic way – comprehensible, clear, and with a focus on modern approaches.

Krise als Chance. Europa neu denken
Authors: Bolaffi Angelo
Published: September 2024

Der Zusammenhalt Europas ist aktuell sowohl durch die Wirtschaftskrise und interne Differenzen gefährdet als auch durch neue geopolitische Konflikte, die russische Aggressionspolitik und den islamistischen Terrorismus. Wie kann Europa diese Gefahren abwenden, seine Zukunft neu denken und gestalten? Darüber diskutiert Peter Engelmann im dritten Passagen Gespräch mit Angelo Bolaffi. Im Gespräch mit Peter Engelmann analysiert der italienische Philosoph Angelo Bolaffi die Krise Europas aus historischer und politisch-philosophischer Perspektive. Die beiden Gesprächspartner gehen der Frage nach, inwieweit die neoliberale Globalisierung nicht nur die Wirtschaft Europas, sondern auch die demokratische Verfassung seiner Mitgliedsstaaten bedroht. Bolaffi führt die Krise der Gegenwart auf konkrete historische Ereignisse zurück, die er als Geburtsfehler der Europäischen Union entlarvt. Deutschland spielt für ihn als gefestigte Demokratie und stärkste Volkswirtschaft der EU bei der Überwindung der schwierigen Lage Europas eine entscheidende Rolle. Bolaffi kritisiert die grassierende nationalstaatliche Engstirnigkeit und fordert ein neues gemeinsames Narrativ für Europa. Abrundend stellen die Gesprächspartner die Frage, welchen Beitrag die politische Philosophie für ein neues Europa leisten kann. Muss Europa umdenken, um weiter zu bestehen?
The Harm Prevention Rule in Cyberspace
Authors: Kreuzer Leonhard
Published: September 2024

The harm prevention rule - including the due diligence standard of conduct it requires - is often seen as a potentially powerful accountability mechanism for malicious cyber operations of state and non-state actors when attribution fails. Yet a lack of clarity on its doctrinal status, content and scope has hampered its practical utility so far. To address this problem, the book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the harm prevention rule in cyberspace. Through an in-depth analysis of state practice and opinio iuris it carves out which risks of cyber harm trigger due diligence obligations to prevent harm and which measures states are required to take in concreto. The book differentiates between binding minimum standards and non-binding best practice standards.

Authors: Li Hanchao , Sun Wengang , Huang Yanhua , Li Qian , Tian Hong , Hao Zhiming , Huo Yongwei
Published: September 2024

Background: High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) plays an essential role in various pathological conditions, including inflammation, fibrosis, autoimmune diseases, and carcinogenesis. The quantification of HMGB1 in body fluids holds promise for clinical applications. Objectives: This study aimed to isolate high-affinity single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamers that target HMGB1. Methods: In this study, ssDNA aptamers were selected using Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX). The affinity and specificity of the aptamers were evaluated through South-Western blot analysis, enzyme-linked aptamer sorbent assay (ELASA), and aptamer-based histochemistry staining. The impact of the aptamers on the biological activity of HMGB1 was tested in the human acute monocytic leukemia cell line, THP-1. Results: An aptamer (H-ap25, dissociation constant = 8.20 ± 0.53 nmol/L) with high affinity for the HMGB1 B box was generated. Further experiments verified that H-ap25 can be used to detect HMGB1 in South-Western blot analysis, ELASA, and aptamer-based histochemistry staining. Moreover, H-ap25 significantly augmented HMGB1-induced expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), and activation of NF-κB in THP-1 cells. Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that H-ap25 can be used both as an enhancer of HMGB1 and as a probe in research.

Background: Chronic renal failure is a progressive and irreversible disease that significantly affects the quality of life in its final stage. Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the effect of an educational program based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model on improving the quality of life and laboratory indicators of hemodialysis patients. Methods: This study is an educational intervention study. The research was conducted in the hemodialysis departments of Imam Khomeini and Ayatollah Boroujerdi hospitals in Boroujerd city. In this 2021 study, 80 hemodialysis patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups: Intervention and control (40 people in each group). The educational content was taught face-to-face by the researcher in four sessions over four weeks, according to the initial needs assessment. Information and laboratory indicators were collected and analyzed based on a researcher-made questionnaire and the standard quality of life questionnaire for kidney patients, both before and one month after the intervention. Results: The average age in the intervention and control groups was 56.55 ± 15.99 and 56.12 ± 15.99, respectively. The average quality of life score one month after the educational intervention was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.001). The constructs of awareness, attitude, and self-efficacy were significant predictors of behavioral factors. The average scores for awareness, attitude, self-efficacy, behavioral factors, and reinforcing factors one month after the educational intervention were higher in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.001). Additionally, the average laboratory indices of hemoglobin (P < 0.001) and hematocrit (P < 0.001) were higher in the intervention group than in the control group one month after the educational intervention. Fasting blood sugar (P < 0.005), sodium (P < 0.020), and cholesterol (P < 0.007) showed a significant decrease after the educational intervention compared to before the intervention. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the implementation of an educational program based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model can improve the quality of life and laboratory indicators in hemodialysis patients. These findings can be utilized by researchers to enhance the quality of life of hemodialysis patients.

Published: September 2024

Ensuring the genuineness and reliability of the data collected at the data collecting stage is of utmost importance in the Smart City (SC) industrial ecosystem. They influence the precision of statistical analysis and the impartiality of decision-making. Identifying attack behaviors caused by external interference and establishing a secure data transmission channel for terminals with limited resources are complex challenges. This paper presents a solution to these issues by introducing a Trust-based Security System (TSS). Within the framework of TSS, the initial step involves creating a trust model that utilizes binomial distribution to calculate the trust value of each node. The research implements a third-party suggestion method to enhance the objective of the trust rating. The research provides a trust management strategy to mitigate the ON-OFF assault. The study develops a robust routing algorithm that effectively manages the trade-off between safety, transmission effectiveness, and energy consumption. A comprehensive simulation exercise assesses the analytical findings of the TSS.

Published: September 2024

Recurrent headaches, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, nausea, and vomiting are the hallmarks of migraine, a complicated neurological illness that has a substantial negative influence on suffering individuals. With cutting-edge deep learning techniques and electroencephalography (EEG) data, this study presents a novel approach to automatic migraine detection. The Improved novel Hybrid Feature Extraction for Migraine Detection (IHFEMD) model that has been suggested takes a thorough strategy that includes pre-processing the data, extracting features, selecting features using a hybrid optimization technique, and utilizing a hybrid deep learning framework. To create a highly refined dataset, migraine sufferers' raw EEG data must first undergo a thorough pre-processing step that includes data cleaning and Min-Max normalization. As a result, relevant migraine-related data are obtained using time-frequency analysis methods such as Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT). The Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO) method is integrated with the Bald Eagle Optimization (BEO) method to optimize the process. Due to this, a much more accurate selection is made. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are used in tandem by the detection framework to combine the advantages of both network types and accomplish migraine detection. Complicated EEG can be identified with the help of this combined approach. The model has been put into practice with the Matlab platform. The result shows an accuracy of 99% and is preferred as a potential diagnostic tool. The novelty of the proposed work focuses on integrating deep learning frameworks with complex pre-processing, sophisticated feature extraction, and hybrid optimization techniques.

Published: September 2024

The performance of a DVBT2 system is affected by a set of parameters, and choosing these parameters is very difficult for anyone, even an expert. In this paper, a Genetic algorithm is used to find the optimal set of parameters: constellation, No. Of forward error correction FEC blocks, code rate, samples per frame, and signal-to-noise ratio SNR for different fading channels. The number of Generations and individuals is 100. The goal of this work is to enhance the system performance by achieving a trade between BER and throughput with the lowest possible SNR and iterations. An online supercomputer platform was used to run the MATLAB simulation of the suggested system, which was conducted using MATLAB R2021a. The results show a clear improvement of the system performance and a BER of less than 10-5 is obtained. The influence of population size on the GA performance is also investigated, population sizes between 50 and 200 are tested. The results show that reaching the optimal solution with the least possible number of iterations is achieved when the population size is 200 while poor results are obtained when the population size is 50. Thus, we have a system capable of finding the optimal set of parameters that are most affected by the genetic algorithm GA and the population size of 200 with the least possible number of iterations.

Authors: Dhanya L.K. , Balakrishnan Dr. Kannan
Published: September 2024

Hate speech is any communication intended to irritate, intimidate, disrupt, or incite anger in an individual or a group, typically targeting characteristics such as religion, ethnicity, appearance, or sexual orientation. Inhabitants of multilingual communities often engage in conversations using multiple regional languages. This sort of textual communication is known as code-mixed data since it combines many languages. This research shows how to recognize and detect hate speech in code-mixed Malayalam-English (Manglish) material. We created a dataset of Manglish-written social media comments from platforms like YouTube and Facebook. Before delving into word embeddings, we developed a unique stopword list designed specifically for Manglish, which has never been done previously. This bespoke stopword list significantly enhanced our data preparation operations. Following that, we concentrated on evaluating several word embedding techniques. We then utilized Glove to develop a distinct domain-specific word embedding model (DSG)for Malayalam-English code-mixed data. This concept was crucial in increasing the overall efficiency of our model. In addition to the approaches described above, we conducted a comprehensive set of experiments using several classifiers such as logistic regression, SVM, and XGBoost, as well as deep learning models such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and bidirectional Long-Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM). Following thorough experimental testing, we suggested a unique hybrid deep-learning model with domain-specific word embeddings. This technique was quite effective in managing our dataset, with an astonishing 96.4% accuracy in detecting hate speech in Manglish comments.
Ritual and Movement as Communication Media

Jacques Ellul expresses for many people a Christian response to the increasing role of mediated communication in our lives. However, ritual and movement call into question the separation between word and image which Ellul posits in The Humiliation of the Word. This essay places Ellul's argument in the wider context of the role of the image in Christian life and suggests that sacramental signification might better express the relationship between word and image while accounting for ritual and movement as communication media.
An Analysis of Stasis in James H. Thornwell's Sermon "The Rights and Duties of Masters."

In May, 1988, Candler School of Theology offered an interdisciplinary course for studying Luke 22-24 through oral performance. Four instructors from the fields of drama, worship and liturgy, homiletics and speech collaborated in teaching the course and emphasized enactment and embodiment as vital methods for exploring Biblical texts. The final project was an ensemble performance of an original "readers' theatre" script developed and staged by the participants. This resource article outlines this communication activity, encouraging readers to consider a similar project.

Published: September 2024

This study examined the moderating effects of education and religious identification on the relationship between argumentativeness and religiosity (N = 1,068). We conducted correlation analysis, ANOVA and hierarchical regression analysis. Analysis revealed a negative relationship between argumentativeness and religiosity. Further analysis showed a bi-directional association between level of education and argumentativeness. Hindus were found to be more argumentative than members of other religious groups, and there were significant differences between religious groups in terms level of religiosity. The moderating influence of education on argumentativeness and religiosity was mixed. We could not determine the moderating influence of religious identification, as this particular regression model was non-significant.

Published: September 2024

Purpose: The study aims to explore the contribution of MBA programs to the career progression of professionals. Methodology: A methodology combining quantitative and qualitative techniques, considered as an explanatory sequential framework, was used to understand the impact of MBA programs on the career advancement of professionals. The population of this study consisted of professionals who were admitted to MBA programs between 2010 and 2017 at public universities in Bangladesh on a part-time basis and successfully obtained their degrees. Findings: The quantitative results demonstrated that the knowledge and skills acquired through MBA programs positively influenced the advancement of professionals' careers. However, the qualitative approach did not yield satisfactory results concerning salary increases but confirmed an increase in job responsibilities, opportunities for promotions, and the potential for MBA degree holders to obtain new jobs. Practical Implication: The findings of the study can serve as motivation for non-MBA holders to pursue an MBA degree, especially those seeking career promotion and redirection. Furthermore, the results of the study may motivate MBA program authorities to carefully consider the requirements of both the professions and professionals to meet the demand of the job market. Originality/Value: Many professionals in Bangladesh enroll in MBA programs with the goal of advancing or restarting their careers, but the impact remains unknown due to the absence of previous studies related to the issue. Therefore, this study can be helpful to meet up the knowledge deficiency related to this study area. Limitations: However, a potential limitation of the study lies in relying on hand-coded thematic method for analyzing qualitative data without the aid of specialized software.

Purpose: This paper aims to examine how soft skills training have a positive impact on rural women’s prosperity in Bangladesh, specifically focusing on the impact of such training on their business performance and overall personal growth. Methodology: This study is based on a mixed-method approach by utilizing structured and semistructured questionnaires, incorporating open-ended questions, and employing exploratory and descriptive research approaches to highlight the need of providing soft skills training. Findings: The results of the study indicate that the provision of soft skills training plays a crucial role in improving the overall business performance of female entrepreneurs in rural areas. This study explores how soft skills trainings improved their daily life activities and smoothed also business activities. This study underscores the positive impact of soft skills training, encompassing improved communication, leadership, problem-solving, decision-making, and self-motivation, on rural women's development and entrepreneurship in Bangladesh. Practical Implications: It is imperative for policy makers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the private sectors to prioritize the integration of soft skills trainings into programs designed to promote the economic progress of rural women in Bangladesh for mitigating the hiatus between their existing skill sets and the requirements of their businesses inclusion. Originality/Value: Existing literature on soft skills training for rural women is deficient in genderspecific analysis and regional/cultural variation examination, which impedes the development of individualized programs. This study addresses the gender and regional specificities of Bangladesh while examining the efficacy of soft skills trainings for rural women through the use of a mixed methods approach. Limitation: A more comprehensive approach is needed to inform effective interventions for rural women's development.
