Authors: Gong Wontae
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: Maintaining gait stability is an important factor for preventing falls of normal adults. Thus, it is necessary to conduct research on gait variables in normal adults. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we conducted research on the effect of rhythmic exercise using proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) patterns on gait variables in normal adults. METHODS: Thirty-two subjects were divided into two groups, the training and control groups, with 16 subjects in each group. We measured various gait variables step time difference (STD), step length difference (SLD), single support difference (SSD), stance phase difference (STPD) and swing phase difference (SWPD) for the pre-test and post-test in each group. RESULTS: As a result of paired t-tests on various gait variables (STD, SLD, SSD, STPD, SWPD) of the training and control group, the training group showed significance in SLD, STPD and STD and the control group had no significance in all items. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, which verified the effect of rhythmic exercise using the PNF patterns on the gait variables of normal adults, there was statistical significance in SLD, STPD, and STD showing that dynamic exercise using the PNF pattern is helpful in improving the walking ability of normal adults.

Anomaly detection is one of the machines learning powered approach which identifies the various elements and objects from a big set of the data. The machine learning powered technique checks multiple objects with the help of differentiating properties and detects the objects which are dissimilar to another dataset. Anomaly detection has number of successful applications from security, medical, industrial and virtually all of the tasks which human may fail while identifying the differentiating properties. Machinery elements anomaly detection has been presented which identifies the differentiating objects of the four hundred images. Number of experiments were performed to detect the anomaly among the given 400 images. The training model has used bidirectional LSTM which gets a feature vector of twelve features, selected, and extracted with already defined algorithm. The dataset has been labelled manually and features were stored. While testing of the images, the study achieved 98% of the accuracy while detecting anomaly of the industrial elements. The system can detect anomalies in the presence of the varying colour and other properties. The accuracy can be increased by adding more images to the database and learning model more deeply. The study can be directed to various implementations including multiple learning implementations, applying on various other elements.

Blood is one of the most important & most frequently encountered evidence in criminal investigation. It can be found in almost every type of criminal activity involving physical violence like murders, robberies, rape cases, etc. Blood stain may found on location such as seen of occurrence, the culprit, the victim, the weapon, of offence, the vehicle and the route taken by the culprit. The position, size & shape of the stain often help in reconstruction of crime seen. The stain may be in the form of splashes, smears, & pools. The colour of the bloodstains varies accordingly to their age, the amount of blood present, and the nature of the material. As bloodstain increases in age, they progress through series of colour changes from red to reddish brown to green & eventually to dark brown to black. When blood is exposed to an external environment the drying process on various surfaces is initiate. Size, volume, nature of target surface, & influence of external environment such as temperature humidity, air flow affects the drying time of bloodstain. The drying of bloodstain is initially around the edges or periphery and proceeds inward to the central portion of the stain as the drying process continues. Drying time and skeletonization are both important alteration of blood. Presence of significant dried & clotted blood on surface at a scene indicates a significant time lapse between blood shade & the observation of the blood.

Published: April 2024

Brain cancer classification is a difficult task due to the variety and complexity of tumors shown in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pictures. This research presents two neural network approaches for categorizing MRI brain images. The proposed neural network method consists of three steps: feature extraction, dimensionality reduction, and classification. First, we extracted features from MRI images using discrete wavelet transformation (DWT). In this second stage, we reduce the salient features of MRIs using principal component analysis (PCA). For the classification step, two supervised machine learning classifiers have been developed. Artificial neural networks are used by both classifiers; however, the second one employs back propagation (BPN) while the first one uses feed-forward (FF-ANN). Using the classifiers, MRI brain images of the subjects were classified as normal or abnormal. Artificial neural networks have numerous applications, including function approximation, feature extraction, optimization, and classification (ANNs). They are specifically intended to enhance photos, distinguish and categorize items, separate and register objects, and extract features. Among these, object and picture recognition is the most important for complex processing tasks such as classifying brain tumors. Radial basis function (RBF), cellular, multi-layer perceptron (MLP), hop field, and pulse-coupled neural networks have all been used in image segmentation. These networks can be categorized as feed-forward (associative) or feedback (auto-associative).

In practice, cooperatives are institutions that are not only profit or profit oriented profit oriented but also on service or service oriented. One cooperative that is oriented towards these two aspects is Cooperative X, where this cooperative is a cooperative multipurpose which in carrying out its business activities has several business units to support or serve the needs of its members. With the existence of several business units to support members' needs, of course Cooperative X needs to serve its members well. One of them is by providing price benefits, both selling prices and purchasing prices, to members of the cooperative. Where the intended benefits are better known as direct economic benefits. The rise and fall of economic benefits is directly related to the management of the cooperative's capital structure which will later finance the cooperative's business activities. The aim of this research is to obtain an overview of the relationship between capital structure and direct economic benefits. The method used in this research is a case study and analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results of this research show that there is a negative relationship between capital structure and direct economic benefits, which means that when the capital structure of a cooperative decreases, direct economic benefits will increase. This can be seen from the development of the capital structure and direct economic benefits in 2022. Based on this, it can be concluded that in carrying out its business activities, Cooperative X has managed or used its loan capital well.

Published: April 2024

Capital adequacy is an important part of a company's financial performance, because achieving an optimal capital adequacy ratio (CAR) indicates that the company has sufficient capital to fund each of its operations. Sufficient capital allows the company to easily innovate, so that it can develop the company's productivity. Interestingly, CAR is influenced by various factors, so it is necessary to study academically the factors that influence CAR. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence CAR. This study uses a quantitative approach with empirical methods using Bank BTN data for the 2010-2020 period. The results show that this model contributes 81% to changes in CAR, partially showing that ROA has a negative effect on CAR, meaning that the lower the ROA, the higher the CAR, LDR has a negative effect on CAR, meaning that the lower the LDR, the higher the CAR, and the NPL has an effect negative to CAR means that the lower the NPL, the higher the CAR. This indicates that increases or decreases in ROA, LDR, and NPL have an impact on changes in CAR at Bank BTN.

Indigenous communities have become an important part of Indonesia’s national development program. The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia recognizes and respects the unity of customary law communities and their traditional rights. Indigenous communities, like other communities, have access to educational services provided by both public and private educational institutions, including those that specialize in religious education. Does general education and religious education influence indigenous peoples’ cultural identities? Do the values received from public education institutions affect changes in indigenous peoples' traditional values? Based on an ethnographic study in the traditional community of Kampung Urug in Bogor, we investigated how the community accepts modern and religious educational institutions while retaining their cultural identity and traditional values. We found that the indigenous people of Kampung Urug recognize three distinct authorities that govern their lives: customary authority, religious authority, and government authority. Representatives from the three authorities are always present at traditional activities organized by Kampung Urug’s indigenous community, indicating an attempt to maintain a balance between the three authorities. Because of this division of authority, the Kampung Urug’s community is able to accept modern values without undermining traditional values passed down from generation to generation.

Turbulence-radiation interaction in large eddy simulations of turbulent reactive flows: a review
Authors: Coelho Pedro Jorge , Fraga Guilherme Crivelli
Published: April 2024

Turbulence-radiation interaction (TRI) arises from the highly non-linear coupling between fluctuations of radiative intensity and fluctuations of temperature and chemical composition of the medium. It is well recognized that neglecting turbulent fluctuations of the latter scalars when computing the mean radiation field, as is standard in Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations, leads to mispredictions of the radiative heat fluxes and the radiant fraction in as much as one order of magnitude. Conversely, the importance of TRI in large eddy simulations (LES)—i.e., the effect of subfilter-scale (SFS) fluctuations on the filtered radiation field—has only started to be investigated in the last decade. The present text reviews the knowledge gathered so far on the subject. The instantaneous and the spatially filtered forms of the radiative transfer equation (RTE) are presented, and the unresolved correlations resulting from the filtering operation are discussed. Models for accounting for SFS-TRI are surveyed, with the most popular ones (namely, probability density function-based methods and empirical approximations) reviewed in detail. An appraisal of the literature on the importance and characteristics of SFS-TRI is performed, with special attention given to turbulent jet diffusion flames and pool fires, which are the two configurations for which SFS-TRI has been studied the most. The main findings of these studies are summarized, and recommendations are given on directions of future works on the subject.

Чекліст флори України. 8: родини Ebenaceae, Primulaceae (Primulales, Angiosperms) та Actinidiaceae і Ericaceae (Ericales, Angiosperms)
Authors: Федорончук М.М.
Published: April 2024

Порядок Primulales уключає дві родини: Ebenaceae та Primulaceae. У флорі України родина Ebenaceae представлена одним родом – Diospiros, три види якого культивуються на півдні і дичавіють. Обсяг родини Primulaceae на сьогодні ще залишається остаточно не вирішеним, тому ми приймаємо її в широкому розумінні, як це прийнято у вітчизняних зведеннях, а також в системах APG III (2009) та APG IV (2016). У Флорі України родина Primulaceae представлена 13 родами (разом з тими, частина з яких нині уключені до складу роду Lysimachia (Anagallis, Centunculus, Glaux, Naumburgia), та 34 видами (разом з підвидами), один з видів яких відомий лише з культури і нерідко дичавіє – Cyclamen purpurascens Mill. [Cyclamen purpurascens subsp. purpurascens], а один (Primula farinosa) наводиться як зниклий з території України. До роду Primula уключено рід Cortusa, який за молекулярними даними виявився філогенетично вкоріненим у роді Primula. В Україні (Карпати) Primula matthioli (≡ Cortusa matthioli) представлена типовим підвидом Primula matthioli subsp. matthioli. Синонімом Primula elatior є Primula poloninensis. Primula sibthorpii, що наводилася для Гірського Криму виявилася синонімом підвиду Primula vulgaris subsp. rubra, а широко поширена в Україні Primula acaulis – синонімом типового підвиду Primula vulgaris subsp. vulgaris. У складі роду Soldanella усього чотири види, два з яких раніше не наводилися для України (Soldanella angusta, Soldanella major). У порядку Ericales дві родини: Actinidiaceae та Ericaceae. Родина Actinidiaceae представлена одним родом Actinidia (три види, що культивуються). У складі родини Ericaceae, прийнятої у широкому трактуванні, 16 родів та 27 видів, які раніше уключалися до чотирьох родин: Ericaceae (Andromeda, Arbutus, Arctostaphylos, Arctous, Erica (= Bruckenthalia), Calluna, Chamaedaphne, Kalmia (= Loiseleuria), Rhododendron (= Ledum), Vaccinium (= Oxycoccus)), Empetraceae (Empetrum), Monotropaceae (Monotropa) та Pyrolaceae (Chimaphila, Moneses, Orthilia, Pyrola). Потребує підтвердження зростання в Україні (Карпати) Arctous alpinа, близького до видів Arctostaphylos. Monotropa hypophegea (≡ Hipopithys hypophegea) визнано за синонім Monotropa hypopitys. За новими даними, Bruckenthalia уключено до роду Erica, Loiseleuria – до Kalmia, Ledum – до Rhododendron, Oxycoccus – до Vaccinium; відповідно, відбулися зміни в номенклатурі видів флори України: Erica spiculifolia (≡ Bruckenthalia spiculifolia); Kalmia procumbens (≡ Loiseleuria procumbens); Vaccinium microcarpum (≡ Oxycoccus microcarpus); Vaccinium oxycoccos (= Oxycoccus palustris Pers.). Vaccinium gaultherioides визнано за синонім Vaccinium uliginosum, а Vaccinium vitis-idaea subsp. minus – за синонім Vaccinium vitis-idaea.
New record of rare boreo-montane polypore Resinoporia piceata (Fomitopsidaceae) in Ukraine
Authors: BOHOSLAVETS Ostap M.
Published: April 2024

Questions: What are the main morphological features of the newfound specimen of Resinoporia piceata? What is the conservation significance of the record and how does it contribute to understanding the fungal biodiversity in the region? Location: Gorgany Nature Reserve. Methods: field surveys, microscopical identification, analysis of sources. Nomenclature: Index Fungorum (www.indexfungorum.org). Results: Gorgany Nature Reserve is the only protected area in the Ukrainian Carpathians where any forestry or recreational activities are strictly prohibited. Its territory is one of the most prominent fungal biodiversity hotspots of Ukraine, which harbours some of the rarest woodinhabiting fungal species of Europe, known in Ukraine from only a few, mostly historical records. In this paper we report a new record of Resinoporia piceata, a rare polypore confined to old-growth sprucedominated forest, which was not recorded in Ukraine for more than 80 years. Detailed description and illustrations of the collected specimen are provided. Ecology, global distribution, conservational significance and taxonomical history of the species is summarized. To safeguard the diversity of rare lignicolous species in the region, it is crucial to secure legal protection for all remaining natural forests in the Ukrainian Carpathians. Equally important is the creation of continuous biodiversity corridors between the Gorgany Nature Reserve and other fungal diversity hotspots. Conclusion: The record of Resinoporia piceata, a rare polypore known in Ukraine from only historical records, is evidence of the outstanding value of the Gorgany Nature Reserve as one of the most prominent fungal diversity hotspots in Ukraine.
EU Cooperation Programmes for Central Asia: New Challenges and Responses
Authors:   Riga Stradins University, Andersone Liga
Published: April 2024

This article aims to analyse EU cooperation programmes for Central Asia, placing emphasis on the importance of cross-regional cooperation in creating a favourable environment for business development and foreign investment, aligning those cooperation programmes with the UN Sustainable development agenda and the implementation of the universal Sustainable Development goals. The author highlights regional and local social and institutional characteristics focusing on EU-Central Asia cooperation. The article assesses the importance of cross-regional cooperation in creating a favourable environment for both business development and foreign investment, and provides analysis on EU-Kazakhstan cooperation. The author applies the monographic method, as well as the graphical method, secondary data analysis, and the qualitative method in the form of an expert interview. The author concludes that the relationship between the European Union and Central Asia is of global signiﬁcance and their ties are likely to increase in strength in the future bearing in mind, notably, Russia’s and China’s interest in retaining Central Asian countries within their own sphere of political and economic inﬂuence. The author puts forward proposals that additional EU multidimension external programmes are paramount for the EU’s and Central Asia’s productive relations.
Informal Institutions – Measurement and Comparison in European Countries
Authors:   SGH Warsaw School of Economics, Bentkowska Katarzyna
Published: April 2024

This paper addresses the topic of informal institutions that remain an unexplored part of the institutional system due to identiﬁcation, operationalisation, and measurement problems. The author concludes that there is a dire need to develop an approach to analysing the rules that govern entities’ behaviour that are difﬁcult to comprehend, deeply ingrained, and long-lasting. Therefore, based on data from social surveys, the author has constructed ten indices of informal institutions comprising trust, happiness, bonds with relatives, social capital, interest in politics, tolerance, resourcefulness, religiousness, attitudes to work, and attitudes to traditional values. They present a comprehensible picture of countries’ informal institutions and enable the making of comparisons. Later, the author uses the indices to investigate the links between formal and informal institutions in selected European countries and explore their role in providing a stable environment conducive to economic well-being. This is, however, only an example in which informal institutions are vital, and the research can support further studies in various ﬁelds. The ﬁndings indicate which investigated institutions seem central and worth supporting and which co-occur with lower levels of development.
Cross-Fertilisation Between EU Green Policies and Instruments Applied by Public Management: Dilemmas and Opportunities
Authors:   Riga Stradins University, Stacenko Sergejs
Published: April 2024

This article aims to contribute to discussions held by the academic community that has extensively researched the EU’s green transition. The author underlines that a transdisciplinary approach involving legal, economic, and political tools provide a comprehensive cross-fertilisation methodology. The article observes implications related to EU green policies and public management instruments from two perspectives: the broadening of green transition to socio economic dimensions; and the role of government intervention in economic and green business development to illustrate examples of relevant practices in the EU. The author argues that such a methodological approach can help one to assess the actions and measures related to the green economic and business development trends that require societal support as well as the improvement of economic efﬁciency at the EU and national level. This contribution offers insights into the concept of green economic transitions and innovation as well as the impact of public services focused on societal change. The article concludes that a decision-making process that is based on a cross-fertilisation approach allows the implementation of green policies in national economies in the most effective manner and, in turn, provides welfare effects due to the enhancement of public administration services in their coordinated actions with entrepreneurial activities and business investments. On a wider regional scale, government/private business green partnership represents a tool that inevitably helps increase the environmental and green competitiveness of the EU and its Member States.

Background MecROX is a mechanistic sub-study of the UK-ROX trial which was designed to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of a conservative approach to oxygen therapy for invasively ventilated adults in intensive care. This is based on the scientific rationale that excess oxygen is harmful. Epithelial cell damage with alveolar surfactant deficiency is characteristic of hyperoxic acute lung injury. Additionally, hyperoxaemia (excess blood oxygen levels) may exacerbate whole-body oxidative stress leading to cell death, autophagy, mitochondrial dysfunction, bioenergetic failure and multi-organ failure resulting in poor clinical outcomes. However, there is a lack of in-vivo human models evaluating the mechanisms that underpin oxygen-induced organ damage in mechanically ventilated patients. Aim The aim of the MecROX mechanistic sub-study is to assess lung surfactant composition and global systemic redox status to provide a mechanistic and complementary scientific rationale to the UK-ROX trial findings. The objectives are to quantify in-vivo surfactant composition, synthesis, and metabolism with markers of oxidative stress and systemic redox disequilibrium (as evidenced by alterations in the ‘reactive species interactome’) to differentiate between groups of conservative and usual oxygen targets. Methods and design After randomisation into the UK-ROX trial, 100 adult participants (50 in the conservative and 50 in usual care group) will be recruited at two trial sites. Blood and endotracheal samples will be taken at 0, 48 and 72 hours following an infusion of 3 mg/kg methyl-D9-choline chloride. This is a non-radioactive, stable isotope of choline (vitamin), which has been extensively used to study surfactant phospholipid kinetics in humans. This study will mechanistically evaluate the in-vivo surfactant synthesis and breakdown (by hydrolysis and oxidation), oxidative stress and redox disequilibrium from sequential plasma and bronchial samples using an array of analytical platforms. We will compare conservative and usual oxygenation groups according to the amount of oxygen administered. Trial registration: ISRCTN ISRCTN61929838, 27/03/2023 https://doi.org/10.1186/ISRCTN61929838.
An Exploration of An Introduction to the Latin Tongue
Authors: De Rege Risa
Published: April 2024

Books are more than texts: as cultural and historical objects they speak to us beyond the words printed on their pages. The physical and material aspects of a book can tell us much about its production, use, and unique life story. This bibliographical study examines an 18th-century book on Latin language learning, held in the rare book collection of the John M. Kelly Library at St. Michael’s College at the University of Toronto. Taking Philip Gaskell’s A New Introduction to Bibliography, first published in 1972, and other bibliographic literature as the key theoretical foundation, this paper systematically explores the book’s material aspects including paper, binding, user signs, and print errors. This paper listens to what the object has to say, allowing it to divulge clues about how this specific book copy was created, used, and preserved. In so doing, it explores the wider benefits that material studies have to offer for book historians.

La presente investigación analiza el control de inventarios y la gestión rentable en mypes comerciales de calzados. El objetivo fue identificar la relación entre control de inventarios y la gestión rentable en las mypes comerciales de calzados de Chimbote, Ancash, 2023. La investigación tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo aplicada y diseño no experimental-transversal y correlacional. La población estuvo conformada por todos los colaboradores del área administrativa, contable y logística de estas empresas. Para la muestra, se seleccionaron 40 colaboradores de las áreas citadas; se aplicó un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. La técnica utilizada fue la encuesta y el instrumento fue un cuestionario, el cual fue validado por un juicio de expertos y pasó por una prueba de confiabilidad. Los resultados mostraron que el nivel del control de inventarios fue poco eficiente, mientras que el nivel de gestión rentable fue eficiente, según los datos analizados. En el análisis inferencial, se reflejó una sig. bilateral de 0.000 menor a 0.005 y los valores de coeficiente de correlación obtenidos fueron de 0.750, 0.720, 0.680 y 0.700, lo que indicó que las variables tienen una relación positiva alta. Se concluyó que el control de inventarios sí se relaciona de forma significativa con la gestión rentable de mypes comerciales de calzado; esto responde a que en la práctica el control es esencial para asegurar que la gestión operativa empresarial sea efectuada idóneamente, generando un aumento de rentabilidad.

Introduction. Special studies on the benefits of agricultural crops – current research regarding the prospects for the development of their products based on functional and specialized nutrition. Substances with a phenolic profile carry out various types of pharmacological activity aimed at treating metabolic and other socially significant phenomena, which allows them to be positioned as generally accepted main ingredients. The leafy botanical form of celery is a rich source of phenolic compounds.

Aim. Development and validation of a method for the quantitative analysis of chlorogenic acid to assess the varietal advantages of Apium graveolens L. raw materials using HPLC.

Materials and methods. For the analysis, we used leaf celery grass of different varieties grown at two sites (the village of Lembolovo and SNT "Ruchey"). Sample preparation of raw materials was carried out by extraction in an ultrasonic bath. Chromatography conditions: column Luna 5 μm C 18(100) Å LC Column 250 × 4.6 mm, thermostat temperature 40 °C, detection wavelength 327 nm. PF A 0.05 % TFA, PF B acetonitrile. Elution mode: 0 min 12 % B, 20 min 30 % PF B, 23 min 12 % PF B.

Results and discussion. According to the data obtained, the accumulation of chlorogenic acid in celery raw materials depends on both the plant variety and the cultivation conditions. However, the difference in the quantitative content of the target component correlates between varieties grown on different sites. The highest content of chlorogenic acid was noted in the variety Nezhny (SNT "Ruchey") and amounted to 0.464 ± 0.012. The variety Summer Boom can be distinguished as the best variety.

Conclusion. The results of the study can be used in the development and quality control of functional and specialized nutrition based on the leafy botanical form of odorous celery due to the high content of phenolic substances.
Definition of Nasal Valve Location and Classification of Nasal Valve Stenosis in Computed Tomography
Authors: Cho Jae Hoon
Published: April 2024

Recently, there has been confusion about the definition of nasal valve stenosis. To resolve this, it is necessary to establish clearly the location of the nasal valve and the definition of nasal valve stenosis. When scrolling the axial view from the top to the bottom, the angle between the upper lateral cartilage and the septum gradually increases, and the vertex becomes rounded. When the lower lateral cartilage is reached, the ceiling of the nasal cavity suddenly becomes higher, so the section immediately before it can be defined as the nasal valve. Nasal valve stenosis is classified as follows. If the difference between the diameters of the narrow and wide nasal valves is less than 1:3, it is normal, whereas if the difference is larger but some space is observed, it is partial stenosis, and if no space is observed, it is complete stenosis.
Controversies and Unconstitutional Practices of Elections Postponement in Indonesia: State Interest or Political Elite Interest?
Authors: Rakia A. Sakti R.S
Published: April 2024

The Indonesian political atmosphere has recently been shocked by controversial issues regarding the postponement of the Indonesian elections in 2024 nationally. The reason for postponing the election is due to the unstable economic condition of the country after COVID-19 so that it is considered incapable of holding elections in 2024. This study aims to find out how the postponement of elections is regulated in Indonesia, as well as whether the postponement of elections is a constitutional action or for the interests of groups elite. The results of this study indicate that basically the Indonesian Election Law does not specifically regulate the postponement of elections. The postponement of elections in the provisions of election law in Indonesia only regulates regional election delays. Meanwhile, national election delays are not adequately regulated. Therefore, nationally postponing the election is considered a violation of the Indonesian constitution. In addition, it is seen that the postponement of the election is not an aspiration of the Indonesian people so that it is considered an attempt by the political elite to take political advantage in the 2024 election.
