Influences Encouraging Alcohol Use among Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery Students at Kampala International University, Western Campus, Ishaka Bushenyi, Western Uganda
Authors:   Department of Medicine and Surgery, Kampala International University, Uganda, Doreen Nagudi
Published: November 2023

Alcohol consumption poses a significant public health concern, especially among university students who often experience newfound independence from direct parental oversight. This study aimed to identify the factors driving alcohol consumption among Kampala International University's Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery students. Employing a descriptive cross-sectional approach and self-administered questionnaires, data collection focused on alcohol-consuming students via snowball sampling. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software facilitated data analysis. Of the 384 participating students who consumed alcohol, nearly half (47.7%) fell within the 20-24 age range, evenly representing both genders. Notably, no substantial correlations emerged between alcohol use and age, gender, religion, or academic year. A majority of students initiated alcohol consumption at 16 years or older (41.4%). Significant associations were found between alcohol consumption and upbringing, as well as university residence. Urban upbringing and off-campus residency correlated with higher alcohol consumption. Psychologically, family structure played a role, with 59.4% of participants living with both parents reporting alcohol consumption. Peer influence was prevalent, with a substantial number introduced to alcohol by friends, either at university (32%) or at home (35.2%). While 97.7% recognized alcohol as a mood-altering stimulant, only 29.1% acknowledged the link between young adult binge drinking and future alcoholism development. Merely 12.5% believed that early alcohol exposure increased the risk of dependence, yet 93.5% recognized its association with academic underperformance or dropout. Alcohol abuse among university students appears normative, shaped by family norms and peer pressure. Supervision by family and university staff, coupled with educational interventions highlighting the health risks and consequences of excessive alcohol consumption, stand as effective measures to address this societal issue.

Authors: Rzepa Henry
Published: November 2023

In the previous post, I introduced three of a new generation of search engines specialising in the discovery of data. Data has some special features which make its properties slightly different from the conceptual (or natural language) searches we are used to performing for general information and so a search engine specifically for data is invariably going to reflect this.

Published: November 2023

Maintenance is especially crucial when it comes to construction machinery due its capacity to avoid or reduce the risk of serious accidents by recognizing probable failures and down times in a timely manner. To properly implement maintenance strategy, it is required to identify the existing linkages between downtime and failures that have already occurred first. This paper aims to analyze and compare data on the length of downtime, as well as the causes of downtime hazard levels on different bridge and gantry cranes. In order to ascertain whether there is a dependency between these two types of cranes, a comparison of the failure duration and hazard level between bridge and gantry cranes is done in this paper. In addition, a comparison of nine different types of bridge and gantry cranes were compared using the same comparation categories. After performing descriptive statistics and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk normality tests, which revealed that the data did not follow a normal distribution, a comparison was done using the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis tests. All tests revealed no statisticaly significant differences in failure duration and hazard level within the tested categories, which opens up the possibility of applying the same risk management strategies and maintenance procedures regarding both examined crane types.

Deep Learning for Plant Disease Detection
Authors: Khalid Munaf Mudheher , Karan Oguz
Published: November 2023

Agriculture, an essential bedrock of human survival, continually grapples with the menace of plant diseases, culminating in substantial yield reductions. While conventional detection techniques remain widespread, they often entail laborious efforts and are susceptible to inaccuracies, underscoring the pressing need for more efficient, scalable, and immediate solutions. Our research explores the transformative capabilities of Deep Learning (DL) models, primarily focusing on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and MobileNet architectures in the early and precise identification of plant ailments. We augmented our exploration by incorporating eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) through GradCAM, which elucidated the decision-making process of these models, providing a visual interpretation of disease indicators in plant images. Through rigorous testing, our CNN model yielded an accuracy of 89%, a precision and recall of 96%, and an F1-score of 96%. Conversely, the MobileNet design showcased an accuracy of 96% but recorded slightly lesser precision, recall, and F1-scores of 90%, 89%, and 89%, respectively. Such results amplify the transformative role of DL in redefining plant disease detection methodologies, presenting a formidable counterpart to conventional techniques and ushering in an era of heightened agricultural security.

Authors: Kinanthi Citra Anggun , Noveyani Adistha Eka , Simanjuntak Tri Damayanti
Published: November 2023

Issues related to waste do not only occur in urban environments. Coastal areas are also not free from issues related to waste. Not only rubbish from the local community but rubbish from tourists also contributes to the large amount of trash in coastal areas. Waste that is not appropriately managed in the environment can be a source of disease. For this reason, it is necessary to increase public knowledge regarding waste processing to prevent the emergence of disease. Apart from that, the public is educated regarding the disease's symptoms and how to treat it. This community service activity occurred in Watu Ulo, Sumberejo Village, Ambulu SubDistrict, Jember Regency. The training was attended by 23 participants who were coastal youth. The results obtained were based on gender; the majority are male, and based on the occupation, the majority are fishermen, and the knowledge of respondents increased after counselling. Conclusion From this training, there has been increased respondents' knowledge through education about waste management socialization.
A Study on Startup Policy Toolkit of Off-Farm Workers Returning Hometown in China
Authors: Gao Xiujuan , Zhang Ruijuan
Published: November 2023

The study aims to explore how policies affect the behavior of rural off-farm workers on whether to return hometown to start their own businesses in China. In the trend of “Internet + e-commerce” economy, the supply-oriented policy tools need to be optimized to adapt to economic development, especially the aspects of the entrepreneurial technology and entrepreneurial information, which provide support for off-farm worker entrepreneurs. The formulation of policy tools is scientific and reasonable, but the distribution in each stage of entrepreneurship is slightly unbalanced, especially in the pre-startup stage, policy tools are rarely used, and the importance of this stage has not been paid enough attention. Overall, the policy design for off-farm workers returning hometown to start a business is reasonable, but the details need to be further adjusted. The results of the Policy Modelling Consistency (PMC) policy index evaluation model show that the performance of the overall entrepreneurship policy from 2015 to 2020 is good or excellent, but the characteristics of the primary and secondary indicators show that the use of various policy tools needs to be further strengthened, and the use of policy tools such as government procurement, public-private cooperation, intellectual property rights and overseas institutions should be increased. Based on the above conclusions, it is suggested to further promote the design and foresight of the policies for off-farm workers, to strengthen the use of capacity building policy tools from the pre-startup stage of entrepreneurship, and to carry out the overall evaluation of relevant policies.

Published: November 2023

Background and Aim: The "Double Reduction Policy" has been formulated and implemented by the Chinese government to reduce the homework load of primary and secondary school students and regulate off-campus training institutions. This study aims to assess the impact of the double reduction policy implemented at Mingde Primary School in Dongming County. The evaluation will be conducted using the Stufflebeam CIPP Model, which includes an assessment of the policy's context, input, process, and product aspects. The findings of this study will provide valuable insights into the impact of the policy.
Materials and Methods: The research methodology used in this study is qualitative. Data was collected through document analysis and interviews with 20 key informants, who were purposefully selected. The informants included school administrators, teachers, parents, and students. The qualitative data collected was analyzed using content analysis.
Results: This research examines the implementation of the Double Reduction Policy in China, a top-down policy model aimed at reducing homework and after-school tutoring pressure on primary and secondary school students. The results indicate that the policy successfully eases pressure on families and students and enhances teacher development. However, it also increases management time and results in longer working hours for teachers after school. The research findings align with the experiences of school administrators, teachers, and parents involved in the policy implementation. The study highlights both the advantages and disadvantages of the policy, emphasizing the need for a balanced perspective considering the diverse perspectives of stakeholders.
Conclusion: The research on implementing the Double Reduction Policy in China provides valuable insights into its impact on various stakeholders. The findings reveal that the policy effectively addresses the issue of homework and after-school tutoring pressure, benefiting families and students by reducing their workload. Additionally, it promotes teacher development and strengthens free online learning services. However, it is essential to acknowledge that the policy also brings challenges, such as increased management time and longer working hours for teachers after school.

Published: November 2023

This policy brief delves into the importance of understanding and supporting the priorities of young people in Nordic rural regions to ensure these communities thrive. It highlights the importance of addressing challenges that keep youth from staying in rural areas and engaging with those unsure about their future there. Serving as a comprehensive guide for policymakers, the policy brief contextualises the report from the Nordic rural youth panel "From Fields to Futures: 40 action points for rural revitalisation". The brief examines academic discussions, prevalent narratives, and youth engagement efforts, emphasising the Nordic Rural Youth Panel's 40 proposed actions to revitalise rural areas. The paper investigates what young people need and want, their aspirations and ideas, and the solutions they present to policymakers that could attract them back to rural areas. It also explores ways to create and enhance opportunities for rural youth to realise their potential and contribute significantly to their communities, thereby changing the existing narratives about young people in rural areas. Lastly, the policy brief stresses the importance of considering diverse youth perspectives in policymaking to promote inclusive and sustainable rural development in alignment with the Nordic Vision.
Mobile bank applications

Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is to investigate how young bank customers (YBCs) perceive the rela- tionships between several antecedents (i.e., usability, responsiveness, customer satisfaction, and reli- ability) and loyalty in the context of mobile bank applications (MBAs). An electronic questionnaire was sent to 500 YBCs in Sweden, 146 of whom completed it. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the measurement model, and structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that usability is indirectly related to loyalty through responsiveness and customer satisfaction. The study contributes to the literature by developing a usability–loyalty model of YBCs using MBAs.
The effect of risk literacy and visual aids on portfolio choices among professional financial planners
Authors: Lurtz Meghaan R. , Kothakota Michael G. , Heckman Stuart J. , Archuleta Kristy
Published: November 2023

Financial planners and their clients come together regularly to discuss financial decisions, which are inherently risky. Yet, financial planning research has not explored the impact of risk literacy (i.e., objective numeracy)—the ability to understand and interpret probabilistic trade-offs—and graph literacy on client-planner decision-making quality. This study uses an experimental design to test financial planners’ risk literacy and their ability to select the most resilient portfolio based on whether they were given probabilistic information and a visual representation or only probabilistic information. Results indicate that visual representation do help financial planners determine the appropriate choice, but risk literacy does not. Implications for financial planners and future research in this area are discussed.

A obesidade é uma grave epidemia global, caracterizada pelo excesso de gordura corporal que prejudica a saúde. A termogênese adaptativa é um mecanismo crucial em que o corpo regula a produção de calor, principalmente no tecido adiposo marrom 2366 ISSN: 2595-8402 DOI: 10.61411/rsc130484 Publicado em 29 de outubro de 2023 REVISTA SOCIEDADE CIENTÍFICA, VOLUME 6, NÚMERO 1, ANO 2023 www.scientificsociety.net (TAM), encontrado em pequenas quantidades em adultos. Este tecido difere do branco, pois pode gerar calor através da termogênese. Vários fatores, como exposição ao frio, dieta e atividade física, influenciam a termogênese adaptativa. O TAM é ativado em temperaturas baixas, resultando na produção de calor, graças à proteína UCP1, que desacopla a cadeia respiratória mitocondrial, aumentando a produção de calor em vez de ATP. Além de sua função na regulação da temperatura corporal, a termogênese adaptativa é estudada como uma estratégia para combater a obesidade, já que queima calorias extras e reduz o acúmulo de gordura. A microbiota intestinal também desempenha um papel nisso, potencialmente aumentando a atividade do TAM e a expressão da UCP1. Assim, compreender a termogênese adaptativa e seu impacto na regulação de peso é fundamental no combate à obesidade, abrindo caminho para estratégias terapêuticas inovadoras que podem melhorar a saúde de indivíduos afetados por essa condição globalmente prevalente

This article presents the results of the impact of the use of dry corn meal on feed consumption, growth performance and carcass quality of young pigs subjected to fattening. The aim of the research was the development of effective nutritional solutions for the substitution of classic protein resources with new local protein resources, and the ex-perimental testing of new fodder recipes intended for pig hybrids, with the inclusion of dry corn meal. The results of the analysis of the chemical composition showed that the dry corn meal contains: nutritional units -1.04; metabolizable energy -12.52 Mdj; crude protein - 26.62%; crude fat - 21.95%; raw cellulose -11.69%; non-nitrogenous extractive substances - 46.23%; calcium - 0.05%; phosphorus 0.27% in the absolute dry substance, has an in-creased sugar content of -3.03% and can be accepted for use in the feeding of fattening pigs as an additional protein source.The results of the experiment demonstrated that the substi-tution of sunflower cake and soybean meal with dry corn meal in different proportions did not essentially influence the appetite and intake of combined fodder during the actual ex-perimental period, and the average daily consumption of combined fodder had average values of 3.153 kg and 3.168 kg corresponding to the batches. When using in the feed of meat hybrids of dry corn in proportions of 6%/ in the first period and 10%/t in the second fattening period, the cost price of 1kg of combined fodder decreased by 14 and 27 bani, an average daily gain of 821g was obtained, the ani-mals produced good carcasses with an average slaughter yield of 80.08%, a 5.46% thinner layer of bacon was obtained in the abdomen, muscle eye surface was 44.11 cm², the average weight of the ham 10.863 kg, the amount of fat in the muscle Dorsal longus of 0.92%, the muscle tissue in the carcasses constituted 60.3%. The economic effect from the use of dry corn meal in the feed of meat hybrids was 274.5 lei/head.Investigations have shown that, due to the organoleptic qualities and the rich content of natural proteins, fats and mineral substances, dry corn meal can represent a viable partial replacement solution for some classic protein sources (sunflower cake, soybean meal) from the feed of young pigs sub-jected to fattening.

Published: November 2023

The article describes some of animal external characteristics and yield indicators. The mentioned animals are important for the country's agro-biodiversity, having valuable genes and their alleles, the loss of which will significantly limit the possibilities and efficiency of providing breeding works. Also Georgia is a country of great diversity of freshwater fish species that is facilitated due to the landscape diversity and richness of water resources. In addition, local breed varieties and populations are valuable because they are considered as the best adapted to local conditions and resistant to various diseases. Unfortunately, today their number is significantly reduced, their genetic purity is also in question. We consider the use of in- situ, ex- situ, in vivo, in vitro conservation methods to be the best way out of the situation.

CURRÍCULO, QUESTÃO RACIAL E O ENSINO DE GEOGRAFIA NA EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS:
Authors: Luz Fabiana Cristina da
Published: November 2023

Este artigo busca compreender de que maneira o Currículo de Geografia da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) da Cidade de São Paulo incorporou as Diretrizes Curriculares da Lei 10.639/03, considerando (i) que tal legislação já foi promulgada há mais de vinte anos, (ii) que a maioria das/os estudantes da EJA são negras/os e (iii) que a geografia é um componente curricular que apresenta uma potencialidade significativa em prol da educação para relações étnico-raciais. Assim, parte-se do pressuposto de que, por muito tempo, a questão racial foi invisibilizada na EJA e que tal processo além de negar as especificidades deste grupo racial contribuiu diretamente para negação do direito à educação de parcela significativa das/os estudantes, haja vista que a história e a importância estrutural da população negra para a formação socioespacial brasileira foram omitidas das práticas pedagógicas. Desse modo, reconhecemos o currículo como um documento fundamental para a promoção da educação para relações étnico-raciais capaz de contribuir com a desconstrução de estereótipos negativos sobre a população negra e também com a redução da discriminação racial. Entretanto, após 20 anos da promulgação da Lei 10.639/03, a análise realizada evidenciou que a questão racial ainda permanece como uma pauta anexa, um tema incluído nos parênteses, abordado de forma pontual e esporádica. E os impactos desse foco secundário, recai todos os dias sobre discentes negras/os que ocupam as escolas, pois se o currículo é uma disputa e se há, quase sempre, uma distância entre a teoria e a prática, essa situação intensifica os desafios de implementação das Diretrizes Curriculares da Lei 10.639/03.
VINTE ANOS DA LEI 10.639:
Authors: Santos Renato Emerson Nascimento
Published: November 2023

O artigo discute avanços e limitações nestes vinte anos de implementação da Lei 10.639/2003 no ensino de Geografia. Objetiva-se apontar propostas para o combate ao eurocentrismo no ensino da disciplina, visando uma educação comprometida com o antirracismo e a promoção da igualdade racial. Argumenta-se que tais propostas devem dialogar com as vivências do cotidiano escolar, onde docentes comprometidos com a implementação da Lei enfrentam fatores reguladores, que definem a escola como uma ambiência epistêmica, com normas de validação de conhecimento e hábitos próprios. Para isto, são trazidos exemplos de propostas constituídas num processo de pesquisa-ação, conduzido entre 2008 e 2012 com um conjunto de docentes da disciplina em escolas públicas de diversos municípios do estado do Rio de Janeiro. As estratégias de enfrentamento ao eurocentrismo e aplicação do temário permitiram a sistematização de três posturas epistêmicas na prática docente antirracista: a desconstrução das matrizes eurocentradas, o deslocamento do lócus epistêmico de enunciação e construção do conhecimento e o ensino de leituras a partir de matrizes epistêmicas distintas, numa hermenêutica diatópica. A partir de debates, experimentações e discussões, foi constituído um temário, conjunto de assuntos que, tratados como pontos de conteúdo específicos ou temas transversais, possibilitam a implementação da Lei ao longo de todo o fluxo de conteúdos trabalhados no ano letivo. Conclui-se que a busca da implementação requer mais diálogos entre universidade e escola, compreendidas como ambiências epistêmicas distintas que, em diálogo com as reivindicações emanadas do Movimento Negro, permitem a busca de uma educação intercultural crítica.

Published: November 2023

Bronchial asthma is a major public health problem in the world. A considerable proportion of patients suffer from severe asthma, which is manifested by a decrease in the quality of life, an increase in the frequency of exacerbations, hospitalisations, and mortality. The ineffectiveness of conventional therapy in such patients contributes to the development of biological treatment methods with higher specificity, aimed at the pathogenetic links of the disease. The purpose of the study was to analyse the effectiveness of the treatment of severe bronchial asthma with monoclonal antibodies based on literature data. The study examines publications over the past 5 years that are available on the Internet. The following terms were used for the search: monoclonal antibodies, endotype, phenotype. Five monoclonal antibody biological agents targeting IgE, IL-5, IL-4, and IL-13, which are approved for use in patients with severe asthma, were analysed: omalizumab, mepolizumab, reslizumab, benralizumab, and dupilumab. The use of these medications has led to progress in the treatment of bronchial asthma. It was found that determining disease endotypes based on the assessment of biomarkers such as eosinophil count in blood and sputum, fractional exhaled nitric oxide, and serum periostin contributes to the greater effectiveness of biological therapy. It was investigated that monoclonal antibody treatment improves lung function, reduces exacerbation frequency, and decreases the need for additional medications. Many other biological agents, particularly those targeting key cytokines, are in the clinical development stage. Approved monoclonal antibodies targeting IgE, IL-5, and IL-4/IL13 demonstrate high efficacy in the treatment of severe bronchial asthma. The use of these agents in patients with severe asthma and high Th2 levels considerably improves lung function, symptom control, and reduces the frequency of disease exacerbations

MODEL PENGEMBANGAN INOVASI PADA INOVASI NON-R&D DAN KEBERLANJUTAN INOVASI
Authors: A Widya Hastuti
Published: November 2023

Perusahaan didorong untuk memperhatikan inovasi berkelanjutan yang memengaruhi kesadaran lingkungan, dampak sosial, dan manfaat ekonomi dalam upaya pembangunan berkelanjutan. Namun, diperlukan klarifikasi mengenai efek inovasi untuk mencapai inovasi berkelanjutan, karena tidak semua jenis inovasi berdampak positif terhadap pembangunan berkelanjutan. Proses penciptaan inovasi juga berbeda antara perusahaan besar atau industri di negara maju yang mengandalkan riset dan pengembangan (R&D), dengan usaha berskala kecil dan industri di negara berkembang yang cenderung berfokus pada inovasi non-R&D. Perdebatan antara peneliti mengenai dampak inovasi non-R&D versus inovasi produk berbasis R&D terus berlangsung. Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa inovasi non-R&D yang dilakukan oleh usaha berskala kecil di negara berkembang dapat memberikan kinerja inovasi produk yang baik. Pendekatan kapabilitas dinamis menunjukkan bahwa inovasi non-R&D, yang memanfaatkan kemampuan internal pengusaha dalam orientasi kewirausahaan dan kapasitas daya serap untuk mengadopsi pengetahuan eksternal, dapat meningkatkan kinerja inovasi. Namun, penentuan model yang tepat untuk inovasi non-R&D dalam konteks inovasi berkelanjutan masih terbatas. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi faktor inovasi non-R&D dalam upaya mencapai inovasi berkelanjutan. Diharapkan penelitian ini dapat memberikan kontribusi dalam membangun prototipe model pengembangan inovasi pada usaha industri skala kecil dan menengah, serta meningkatkan daya saing.

Abstrak. PT.X adalah sebuah perusahaan distributor yang beroperasi di Kota Makassar. PT. X memiliki sebuah gudang distributor untuk menyimpan produk – produk yang akan didistribusikan, dan puluhan apotek yang tersebar didalam kota.Setiap hari, PT. X harus mendistribusikan produk –produk dari gudang ke tiap apotek. Biaya distribusi tersebut dapat dioptimalkan dengan memperbaiki keputusan penentuan rute distribusi kendaraan. Selain itu, proses distribusi produk ke tiap apotek juga tidak boleh melewati batas waktu pengantaran yang telah ditentukan. Apabila proses distribusi telah melewati batas waktu tersebut, maka distribusi produk tidak dapat dilakukan lagi, atau distribusi harus dilakukan dihari berikutnya. Analisis data dimulai dari pengumpulan data primer berupa informasi sistem distribusi, dan data sekunder berupa data distribusi berupa jumlah permintaan, lokasi apotek, jumlah dan kapasitas kendaraan, serta jendela waktu. Selanjutnya dilakukan pengolahan data dengan membuat model matematis menggunakan software Lingo 18. Model matematis untuk masalah rute kendaraan dengan jendela waktu diambil dari model Desaulniers, dkk (2014) dalam Toth dan Vigo (2014). Solusi yang dihasilkan untuk 15 apotek merupakan solusi global optimal dengan total biaya optimal sebesar Rp 66.800 dengan waktu komputasi sebesar 64,48 detik.
