A salon exclusively for Muslim women has a black hair colouring service. There are different legal views on this matter. The salon owner allows black hair colouring as the ingredients used are considered to be in accordance with the principles of sharia. However, there are other views that prohibit black hair colouring, despite using any ingredients. The research in this article uses qualitative methods, which are used to understand and explain social phenomena or human symptoms in depth and comprehensively. The findings of this research can be used to develop a Muslimah salon that complies with Islamic principles. Services offered by Islamic-compliant salons need to align with the principles governing commercial transactions related to the exchange of services or advantages. The business operations should strictly adhere to Shariah provisions and involve a contractual agreement for buying and selling that prioritizes maslahah.

Spectacles of Masculine Super-Heroism
Authors: Sony Jalarajan Raj
Published: February 2024

Krishnan Nair, popularly known by his screen name Jayan, is often hailed as the first-ever “superstar” actor in Malayalam cinema. The metamorphosis of Jayan’s cinematic stardom signifies the masculine prototype with which Indian film stars attain cultural dominance by aestheticizing their corporeal self. This article approaches the earlier superstardom in Malayalam cinema by deciphering the centrality of Jayan as a Superman-superstar figure. It argues that the heroic screen image, dialogue delivery, stylized stunts, and trendsetting costumes introduced by Jayan in the 1970s–1980s established a new reception of the masculine body that glorified the semiotics of the “Superman.” Using the spectator–spectacle discourse on superstardom, this article examines how different shades of superstardom, especially its posthumous restructuring and reproduction, affect the fate of superheroes in regional cinemas.

Published: February 2024

Background: Chinese and Korean Americans are among the fastest-growing minority groups in the US but face disparities in income and limited English proficiency, leading to health inequities in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) care. Objective: This study aims to understand cultural influences in ADRD care from the perspectives of Chinese and Korean American caregivers to inform culturally sensitive support for caregivers in Asian immigrant populations. Methods: We conducted a study that was part of a broader project aimed at informing the cultural adaptation of the NYU Caregiver Intervention-Enhanced Support (NYUCI-ES) program specifically for Chinese and Korean American caregivers managing multiple chronic conditions. In our interviews with 14 Chinese American and 11 Korean American caregivers, we focused on how their roles as primary caregivers were influenced by cultural and family expectations, the impact of caregiving on their personal and emotional well-being, and the specific barriers they face in accessing healthcare for themselves and their relatives with dementia. Results: Cultural beliefs and values significantly influenced the perceptions and utilization of support systems among Chinese and Korean American caregivers. Family stigma and adherence to cultural norms impacted their caregiving experiences. The study also highlighted the added burden during the pandemic and the potential benefits of telehealth and information technology in ADRD care. Conclusions: Developing culturally tailored, person-centered programs is crucial to meeting the unique needs of Chinese and Korean American caregivers. This research contributes to understanding and supporting this vulnerable population, promoting healthcare equity for ADRD patients and caregivers.

Background: Previous studies reported the negative impact of social isolation on mental health in people with dementia (PwD) and their caregivers, butlongitudinal studies seem scarcer. Objective: To describe a one-year follow-up impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on PwD and their caregivers in both Brazil and Chile. Methods: This study analyzed the impact of the pandemic on the psychological and physical health of PwD and their family caregivers after one year of follow-up in three outpatient clinics in Brazil (n = 68) and Chile (n = 61). Results: In both countries, PwD reduced their functional capacity after one year of follow-up (p = 0.017 and p = 0.009; respectively) and caregivers reported worse physical and mental health (p = 0.028 and p = 0.039). Only in Chile, caregivers reported more sadness associated with care (p = 0.001), and reduced time sleeping (p = 0.07). Conclusions: In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic appears to have had a long-lasting impact on PwD and their caregivers. However, it is essential to acknowledge that the inherent progression of dementia itself may also influence changes observed over a year.

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and symptoms develop gradually over many years. The current direction for medication development in AD is focused on neuro-inflammation and oxidative stress. Amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition activates microglia leading to neuro-inflammation and neurodegeneration induced by activation of COX-2 via NFκB p50 in glioblastoma cells. Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the concentration of COX-2 and NFκB p50 in serum of AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and geriatric control (GC) and to establish a blood-based biomarker for early diagnosis and its therapeutic implications. Methods: Proteins and their mRNA level in blood of study groups were measured by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), respectively. The level of protein was further validated by western blot. The binding study of designed peptide against COX-2 by molecular docking was verified by SPR. The rescue of neurotoxicity by peptide was also checked by MTT assay on SH-SY5Y cells (neuroblastoma cell line). Results: Proteins and mRNA were highly expressed in AD and MCI compared to GC. However, COX-2 decreases with disease duration. The peptide showed binding affinity with COX-2 with low dissociation constant in SPR and rescued the neurotoxicity of SH-SY5Y cells by decreasing the level of Aβ, tau, and pTau proteins. Conclusions: It can be concluded that COX-2 protein can serve as a potential blood-based biomarker for early detection and can be a good platform for therapeutic intervention for AD.
Calculation of mutual inductance between arbitrarily positioned planar spiral coils for wireless power applications
Authors: Hussain Iftikhar , Woo Dong-Kyun
Published: February 2024

Mutual inductance is one of the main parameters required to determine the power link’s performance (output voltage, efficiency) in wireless power transfer. The coils are often misaligned angularly in these applications, which affects the mutual inductance and thus the performance. Hence, an accurate calculation of mutual inductance is necessary to decide the working region of the coil. This paper presents an analytical calculation of mutual inductance between two planar spiral coils under angular misalignment conditions. By solving the Neumann integral formula, mutual inductance is derived for constant current-carrying coils, and the final mutual inductance value is calculated numerically. The influence of angular misalignment of the coil, which can be due to nutation and spin angles, on mutual inductance is studied in detail. The mutual inductance of the spiral coil is calculated for different misalignment cases. The accuracy of the calculation results is verified by comparing it with conventional formulas (mainly the Liu, the Babic formula, and the Poletkin formula) and by simulation using the finite element method. The proposed method is a more generalized and simpler one that can be used to calculate the mutual inductance of any size of coils, either spiral or circular, with any lateral and angular misalignments. Finally, a couple of spiral coils are fabricated to validate it experimentally. The comparison of the simulation and experiment results with the calculation result shows its accuracy. Thus, the proposed method can be applied to compute mutual inductance in any angularly misaligned coupling coils for the optimization of the wireless power transfer and their design.

Published: February 2024

Background: Mutations in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene cause Huntington’s disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disorder. As a scaffold protein, HTT is involved in numerous cellular functions, but its normal and pathogenic functions during human forebrain development are poorly understood. Objective: To investigate the developmental component of HD, with a specific emphasis on understanding the functions of wild-type and mutant HTT alleles during forebrain neuron development in individuals carrying HD mutations. Methods: We used CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology to disrupt the ATG region of the HTT gene via non-homologous end joining to produce mono- or biallelic HTT knock-out human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) clones. Results: We showed that the loss of wild-type, mutant, or both HTT isoforms does not affect the pluripotency of iPSCs or their transition into neural cells. However, we observed that HTT loss causes division impairments in forebrain neuro-epithelial cells and alters maturation of striatal projection neurons (SPNs) particularly in the acquisition of DARPP32 expression, a key functional marker of SPNs. Finally, young post-mitotic neurons derived from HTT-/- human iPSCs display cellular dysfunctions observed in adult HD neurons. Conclusions: We described a novel collection of isogenic clones with mono- and biallelic HTT inactivation that complement existing HD-hiPSC isogenic series to explore HTT functions and test therapeutic strategies in particular HTT-lowering drugs. Characterizing neural and neuronal derivatives from human iPSCs of this collection, we show evidence that HTT loss or mutation has impacts on neuro-epithelial and striatal neurons maturation, and on basal DNA damage and BDNF axonal transport in post-mitotic neurons.

Multiple approaches are examined in this work to improve sarcasm identification: 1. A Combination of fasttext embedding, syntactic, semantic, lexical n-gram, and oxymoron features 2. TF-IDF feature weighting scheme 3. Three machine learning algorithms (SVM, Multinomial Naïve Bayes, and Random Forest), three deep learning algorithms (CNN, LSTM, MLP), and one ensemble model (CNN + LSTM) The CNN + LSTM model achieves a Precision of 91.32%, Recall of 92.85%, F-Score of 92.08%, accuracy of 92.01%, and Kappa of 0.84 by combining the fasttext embedding, bigram, syntactic, semantic, and oxymoron features with TF-IDF method. These experimental results show CNN + LSTM with a combination of all features outperforms the other algorithms in classifying the sarcasm in both datasets. The sarcasm classification performance of our dataset and another sarcasm news dataset was compared while applying the above model.

Published: February 2024

The prediction of shock disturbed systems is always a major challenge in the field of grey prediction. Considering the characteristics of grey buffer operator, this paper proposes a new grey buffer operator based on inverse accumulation, new information priority and logarithmic function to cope with the prediction challenge. In addition, some relevant properties of the new grey buffer operator are discussed in this paper, including adjustment intensity and smoothness. The new grey buffer operator is used to process monotonically increasing sequences, monotonically decreasing sequences and oscillating sequences, respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed buffer operator can effectively improve prediction accuracy.

Proper and systematic management of food industry failures can improve the quality of products and save a lot on the costs of organizations and people’s health. One of the conventional methods for risk assessment is the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) which is often performed in a phase or stage. Compared to the combined methods, this method is less accurate due to similar priorities of failure in the evaluation and the lack of consideration of the interaction between risks. The current research has applied an integrated approach based on two techniques, FMEA and Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM), in a multi-stage manner to increase assessment accuracy and ranking of failures. By considering the risks of an industry in an uncertain environment and the causal relationships between failures, this approach can evaluate the industry’s risks better than conventional methods. In the research method, the initial prioritization of failures by the FMEA method is used as the input of the multi-stage FCM. The cause-and-effect relationship between the failures is determined by experts and the functional records of the processes, and the FCM is prepared. Since no research evaluates the risks of the malting industry step by step and considers the causal relationships between the risks, the present study has improved risk evaluation in the malting industry by using a multi-stage FCM. The ranking results with the proposed hybrid approach and its comparison with the conventional methods showed that the rating became more accurate, and the multiple priorities were improved. Managers of the malt beverage industry can make effective investment decisions to reduce or better control the risks of this industry by using the results of applying the proposed approach.

Authors: Kexing Zhang , Jiang He
Published: February 2024

Recent developments in wireless networking, big data technologies including 5G networks, healthcare big data analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), sophisticated wearable technologies, and artificial intelligence (AI) have made it possible to design intelligent illness diagnostic models. In addition to its critical function in e-health applications, 5G-IoT is becoming a standard feature of intelligent software. Intelligent systems and architectures are necessary for e-health applications to counteract threats to the privacy of patients’ medical information. Using machine learning and IoMT, this research suggests a new approach to cloud data analysis using the 5G network in the context of a recommendation model. This application of the 5G cloud network to the monitoring and analysis of healthcare data makes use of variational adversarial transfer convolutional neural networks. The treatment plan for abnormalities in a tolerant body is derived from this clustered outcome. Experiment analysis was performed for a number of healthcare datasets with respect to training precision, network efficiency, F-1 score, root-mean-squared error, and mean average precision as the metrics of interest.

A negative selection algorithm with human-in-the-loop for anomaly detection
Authors: Li Chunling , Zhang Yi
Published: February 2024

The existing negative selection algorithms can not improve their detection performance by human intervention during the testing process. This paper proposes a negative selection algorithm with human-in-the-loop for anomaly detection. It uses self-sample clusters to train detectors with a nonrandom strategy. Its detectors and self-sample clusters fully cover state space without overlapping each other. It locally adjusts detectors and self-sample clusters with human intervention to improve its detection performance during the testing process. Experiments were performed on two synthetic datasets and the Iris dataset from the UCI repository to assess its performance. The results show that it outperforms the other anomaly detection methods in most cases.

BACKGROUND: Accurate assessment tools for work rehabilitation are essential in healthcare settings. Adapting the Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire (WORQ) to Arabic-speaking populations ensures effective evaluation and intervention for individuals with work-related disabilities. OBJECTIVE: To execute a cross-cultural adaptation of interview-administered version Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire –Arabic (WORQ-A) and assess the psychometric properties of WORQ-A in patients with musculoskeletal problems. METHODS: WORQ is mainly intended to assess the work functioning of persons who are involved in vocational rehabilitation. Psychometric properties were scrutinized in the outpatient rehabilitation center. Test–retest reliability was examined with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and internal consistency was evaluated with Cronbach’s alpha. The usability of WORQ-A was established in 46 patients with musculoskeletal problems. RESULTS: WORQ-A exhibited exceptional internal consistency (0.93) and a great test–retest reliability (0.87). Regarding usability, the ability to understand the questions and answer choices was established as good. Five percent of the participants encountered minor difficulties with certain words, while the majority found it quite straightforward to choose the correct answers. CONCLUSIONS: The WORQ-A is an effective, consistent, and very easy to administer questionnaire to assess the work-related functions assumed in our study context and the individualities of the sample.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic could have led to a technological revolution however it has caused work productivity loss, especially among people working from home. OBJECTIVE: This study examined the frequency and related factors of work productivity loss, focusing on work-related factors, during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional, web-based survey of Japanese workers. Questionnaires were distributed using snowball sampling through e-mail and social networking sites. RESULTS: Of the respondents, 708 non-medical workers reported subjective work productivity loss during the first wave of the pandemic, compared with before. A multiple regression analysis showed that living with preschool-age children, having poor mental health, not using video conferencing solutions, and increased e-mail communication were related to work productivity loss. A subgroup analysis of those working from home showed similar variables associated with work productivity loss. CONCLUSIONS: More than 70% of workers in Japan experienced work productivity loss during the first wave of the pandemic. Moreover, factors such as time-consuming tasks or background distractions might lead to operational inefficacy.
