Stunting in toddlers needs special attention because it can hamper children's physical and mental development. Based on a report from the Palu City Health Office in 2021, the number of stunted toddlers reached 8.00%. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with a decrease in the incidence of stunting in the working area of the Palu City Health Center (Puskesmas). This type of research was quantitative observational analytic with a cross-sectional study design. The population in this study were all mothers registered in the working area of the Pantoloan Health Center, Nosarara Health Center, and Tipo Health Center with an eligible sampling technique, then the sample in this study was 98 samples. Data was collected based on a questionnaire that would be analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis. This study's results indicated no relationship between the variable provision of basic immunization (p=0.906) to a decrease in the incidence of stunting in the working area of the Palu City Public Health Center. A relationship was identified between the time variable providing weaning food (p=0.039) and decreased stunting in the Public Health Center Palu City working area. There was a relationship between the variable support of health workers (p=0.012) to a decrease in the incidence of stunting in the working area of the Palu City Health Center. Strengthening health promotion performance in developing promotive and preventive programs is recommended, particularly in improving complete basic immunization programs

Published: April 2023

Breast cancer is the second largest death in women. One of the preventions of breast cancer by early detection is Breast Self-Examination (BSE). It aims at finding out abnormal lumps in the breast. There were 20 cases of breast cancer in Palu in 2017, 10 of them died, then increased in 2018 to 25 cases, and 14 died. Based on preliminary research at Senior High School of SMA 7 Negeri Palu, in 2021, there was 1 case of breast cancer. This research aimed to determine the correlation between knowledge, attitudes, information exposure, parental support, and Breast Self-Examination (BSE) behavior. This was quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. The samples were taken through the Slovin method with the Proportional Stratified Random Sampling technique. The total population was 396 students, and the total samples were 80 students. The majority of respondents are 17 years old, namely 52.5% with good behavior, namely 52.5%, knowledge including lack, namely 55%, attitude including negative, namely 60%, and information exposure including high, namely 56.2%, and parental support including lack, namely 51.2%. The results show that there was no correlation between information exposure and BSE behavior (p = 0.128), while knowledge (p = 0.022), attitudes (p = 0.001), and parental support (p = 0.003) showed a correlation with BSE behavior. It is expected that the school will cooperate with the health sector by providing material on reproductive health and prevention of non-communicable diseases, and the students are also more proactive in seeking information related to BSE

RR-TB treatments, testing bedaquiline and injectable kanamycin

Here, Professor Andre Nunn from Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit at UCL, explores tuberculosis with a focus on RR-TB treatments (rifampicin-resistant) and their drug combinations. Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest diseases known to man and its management remains a challenge to public health worldwide. According to the most recent World Health Organisation (WHO) report over 10 million persons fell ill with tuberculosis in 2021. It occurs within all the countries of the world but is most prevalent in low and middle income countries. A total of 1.6 million people died from TB world-wide in 2021 making it the 13th leading cause of death and the second leading infectious disease killer after COVID-19.
The weakly annihilating-ideal graph of a commutative ring
Authors: Patel Hiren D.
Published: April 2023

Let R be a commutative ring with non-zero identity which is not an integral domain. An ideal I of a ring R is called an annihilating ideal if there exists r∈R\ 0 such that Ir=(0). Let A(R) denote the set of all annihilating ideals of R and A(R)∗=A(R)\{(0)}. In this article, we introduce and investigate the weakly annihilating-ideal graph of R denoted by WAG(R). It is the undirected graph whose vertex set is A(R)∗ and two distinct vertices I, J are adjacent in this graph if and only if there exist non-zero ideals A, B of R with A ⊆ ann(I) and B ⊆ ann(J) such that AB=(0). The aim of this article is to study the interplay between the ring-theoretic properties of R and the graph-theoretic properties of WAG(R). We discuss some results regarding the connectedness of WAG(R) and determine its diameter and girth. Moreover, we provide some conditions under which WAG(R) and AG(R) are identical.
Existence, uniqueness and strong consistency of the maximum likelihood estimator for a model of accidents frequencies
Authors: Geraldo Issa Cherif
Published: April 2023

The aim of this paper is to prove the existence, uniqueness and strong consistency (i.e. almost sure convergence to the true unknown value) of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the vector parameter for a statistical model used in statistics applied to road safety. In the general case, the strong consistency of the MLE may be established by using the well-known result by Abraham Wald (in 1949) or its variants under a set of conditions. However, for the model considered in this paper, all these conditions are very difficult to verify because of the great dimension of the parameter space and the rather complex expression of the log-likelihood function. To circumvent these difficulties, we first demonstrate that the MLE exists and is unique afterwards we demonstrate the strong consistency of the MLE using the properties of the model and some theorems of mathematical analysis.

Published: April 2023

The aim of the present paper is to study the critical point equation (shortly CPE) conjecture within the framework of various contact metric manifolds. First we establish that Kenmotsu manifold satisfying the CPE either becomes an Einstein manifold or the derivative of potential function along characteristic vector field satisfy a certain relation on the distribution of η. Next we study CPE on (κ, μ)'-almost Kenmotsu manifold and obtain that the manifold is Einstein. Later in case of 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold, we get that either the manifold becomes α-Sasakian or it becomes Einstein. Finally we give examples of 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold and (κ ,μ)'-almost Kenmotsu manifold to verify our outcomes.

Published: April 2023

OBJECTIVES: To compare the long-term effects of comprehensive outpatient versus inpatient rehabilitation with respect to morbidity and mortality, as well as to changes in physical performance and physical activity.
DESIGN: A total of 163 consecutive patients were enrolled for comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR) following a recent coronary event, to outpatient or inpatient CCR according to treatment preference because randomisation was accepted by only 4 patients. CCR was six hours per day for 4 weeks and consisted of exercise training, education, psychological support, and nutritional and occupational advice. Examinations were before, after and 12 months after CCR. Primary outcome measures were event-free survival with or without interventions, EFS-I or EFS, respectively, 12 months after rehabilitation
RESULTS: Main patient characteristics were distributed equally in the cohorts. Results were adjusted by logistic regression for age, BMI, LV-function, exercise capacity and physical activity before the event. Adjusted EFS, EFS-I , overall survival and other morbidity outcome measures did not differ significantly. During CCR, physical activity was higher in outpatients, but this difference was not maintained in the follow up. Average physical activity was increased 12 month after CR with no difference between groups.
CONCLUSION: Although influenced by patient preference, participation in either inpatient or outpatient CCR led to comparable results in terms of all-cause or cardiac overall survival, event-free survival and other secondary outcome measures like cardiac morbidity, physical performance and increased physical activity.
Suporte ao Desenvolvimento e Uso de Componentes Flexíveis
Authors: Pereira e Silva Ricardo , Price Roberto Tom
Published: April 2023

Component-oriented development is being stimulated by the availability of devices allowing component interoperability, regardless of programming language, running platform and executing location. However, there are some unsolved problems concerning search and selection, functionality understanding and adaptation of components. Flexibility is an important feature for increasing component reusability. Some approaches like wrappers, help in adapting actual components to systems not fully compatible. In this paper we propose to develop components as object-oriented frameworks. This leads to flexible components, much more suitable to reuse. On the other hand, this approach makes more complex the development and the use of components. SEA is an environment supporting development and use of reusable software artifacts. It employs a describing approach like those used in OOAD methodologies. The environment supports development, semantic checking and semi-automatic translation of design specifications. In this paper we describe how SEA supports the development and the use of flexible components.

Data Flow Based Integration Testing
Authors: Vilela Plínio R. S. , Maldonado José C. , Jino Mario
Published: April 2023

An approach to extend Structural Unit Testing Criteria to the Integration Testing is presented. The approach is based on the concept of Potential Uses, which basically states that a data flow association exists between a definition of a variable and every point reachable from that definition through a definition-clear subpath, even without an explicit usage of the variable - it is called a potential data flow association. A practical procedure to implement the approach, based on testing information generated during unit testing, is also presented.
Driving Non-Functional Requirements to Use Cases and Scenarios
Authors: Cysneiros Luiz Marcio , Leite Julio César Sampaio do Prado
Published: April 2023

Today, companies are continuously changing and improving their business strategies. As a consequence, stakeholders are demanding more flexible and complex software to be built. To handle this complexity, conceptual models have to describe aspects beyond entities and activities. Recent research has pointed out that dealing with goals in order to capture intentions associated with complex situations is a major aspect to handle this new reality [14]. Non-Functional Requirements are a particular class of these goals that has to be dealt with since the early stages of software development. Therefore, expressing these NFRs in use cases and scenarios models is a must. In this work we show a strategy to drive elicited NFR towards use cases and scenarios that reflect the functional requirements of the software. We tested our proposal through two case studies and the results suggest that our strategy can help developers to deal with complex conceptual models and might result in a more complete software specification and thus, to a shorter time-to-the-market.

Published: April 2023

Ontologies are becoming an important mechanism to build information systems. Nevertheless, there is still no systematic approach to support the design of such systems using tools that are common to information systems developers. In this paper, we propose an approach for deriving object frameworks from domain ontologies and then we show the application of this approach in the software process domain.
An Aspect-Based Approach for Developing Multi-Agent Object-Oriented Systems
Authors: Garcia Alessandro F. , Silva Viviane T. da , Lucena Carlos J. P. de , Milidiú Ruy L.
Published: April 2023

Agent technology has been revisited as a complementary approach to the object paradigm in order to design and implement complex distributed software. Objects and agents have many similarities, but agents are also driven by beliefs, goals, capabilities, plans, and a number of agency properties such as autonomy, adaptation, interaction, learning and mobility. Moreover, cooperating software agents must incorporate different collaborative capabilities in order to work together in heterogeneous contexts. In practice, a complex application is composed of objects and multiple types of agents, each of them having distinct agency properties and capabilities. An additional difficulty is that these capabilities and properties typically overlap and interact with each other, and a disciplined scheme to composition is required. This paper discusses software engineering approaches for multi-agent systems, and presents a new approach for building multi-agent object-oriented software from early stage of design. This approach (i) describes structured integration of agents into the object model, (ii) incorporates flexible facilities to build different types of software agents, (iii) encourages the separate handling of each property and capability of an agent, (iv) provides explicit support for disciplined and transparent composition of agency properties and capabilities in complex software agents, and (v) allows the production of agent-based software so that it is easy to understand, maintain and reuse. The proposed approach explores the benefits of aspect-based design and programming for the incorporation of agents in object-oriented systems. We also demonstrate our multi-agent approach through the Portalware system, a web-based environment for the development of e-commerce portals.
Mutant Operators for Testing Concurrent Java Programs
Authors: Delamaro Márcio , Pezzè Mauro , Vincenzi Auri M. R.
Published: April 2023

Mutation testing is a fault-based testing technique that has been widely studied in the last decades. One reason for the interest of the scientific community in mutation testing is its flexibility. It can be applied to programs at unit and integration testing levels, as well as to software specifications written in a variety of different languages. A fundamental issue to make mutation testing work for a given language or environment is the set of mutant operators used to create the mutants. In this paper a set o mutant operator is proposed for the Java programming language, and more specifically, aiming at exercising aspects of concurrency and synchronization of that language.
Intercessão em Tempo de Implantação – uma Abordagem Reflexiva para a Plataforma J2EE™ –
Authors: Souza Cristina Verçosa Pérez Barrios de , Maziero Carlos Alberto
Published: April 2023

Esse artigo apresenta uma proposta para utilizar princípios de reflexão computacional em uma plataforma voltada para aplicações corporativas baseadas em componentes: a Plataforma Java para Corporações, ou J2EE. O principal objetivo da proposta é o de manter as vantagens da consistência de ambiente da J2EE e, ao mesmo tempo, possibilitar a alteração do comportamento de componentes servidores, mantendo intactas suas funcionalidades básicas – o que caracteriza reflexão comportamental, ou intercessão. Com isso, é adicionado um grau a mais de flexibilização na implementação de aplicações corporativas nas situações onde é necessário introduzir controle e / ou modificar a funcionalidade da aplicação como um todo. Para tanto, apenas são utilizados os padrões J2EE para construção e implantação de aplicação corporativa. Essa abordagem é então denominada MOP (Meta-Object Protocol) em Tempo de Implantação – ou mais especificamente, Intercessão em Tempo de Implantação.

Published: April 2023

Este trabalho investiga a utilização de uma especificação formal de alto nível, os Statecharts, com o objetivo de propiciar uma melhor compreensão de um determinado sistema, quando se pretende avaliar o seu desempenho. Além da especificação, é feita uma associação dos Statecharts com soluções analíticas e por simulação, para viabilizar o processo de modelagem como um todo. Algumas vantagens provenientes da utilização dessa nova abordagem (como hierarquia, paralelismo explícito e mecanismos de comunicação) são discutidas ao longo do artigo, assim como certas implicações da adoção dos Statecharts para avaliar desempenho. Duas abordagens formais para avaliação de desempenho são apresentadas: Statecharts Estocásticos (especificação para sistemas de filas puramente baseada em Statecharts) e Queuing Statecharts (uma aglutinação entre as representações de redes de filas e Statecharts). Um estudo de caso é apresentado ao final do trabalho para aplicar a formalização proposta.

African Englishes in the Oxford English Dictionary
Authors: Salazar Danica
Published: April 2023

In some of its recent quarterly updates, the Oxford English Dictionary has published particularly large batches of new and revised entries from South African English, Nigerian English, and East African English. The present article is a detailed discussion of the editorial work behind these updates for African varieties of English, whose distinctive vocabularies the OED is currently taking steps to cover more widely. The paper explains how words are selected for inclusion, how new entries are researched and written, how new sources of textual evidence such as social media give OED editors greater insight into African Englishes, and how the dictionary's African consult­ants and users contribute to ensuring the accuracy and authenticity of the OED's definitions, ety­mologies, pronunciations, and quotation evidence. The article also highlights a selection of African words and phrases that have recently been added to or revised in the OED, all of which show the many different forms of lexical innovation that shape the distinctive vocabularies of African Eng­lishes. Keywords: Oxford English Dictionary, historical lexicography, African Englishes, East African English, South African English, West African English, Nigerian English
Market Power, Economic Dependence, or Bargaining Power: Why Do Titans Still Enjoy Protection in Several Member States?
Authors: Nový Michal
Published: April 2023

The paper addresses a long-standing discussion on what are the major sources of power asymmetry among the suppliers and the buyers in the agri-food chain, and thus, a primary cause of pursuing various kinds of so-called unfair trading practices. Basically, three theoretical frameworks stay beyond combating against these practices: market power, economic dependence, and bargaining power approach. The setting of personal scope in the new EU Directive 2019/633 profoundly prefers the lastly mentioned theoretical framework. But does such a preference signify the true triumph of the bargaining power conception? The paper intends to scrutinize it using an evaluation of the major traits of the frameworks, stressing that some of them may allow for the protection of those entrepreneurs who are not in need of it. The analysis of the ways how the Directive has been implemented in the Member States then indicates that such giant suppliers continuously enjoy protection in several countries. A special attention is devoted to Czech legislation whose development may serve as a kind of a natural experiment of how these competing conceptions function in the practice.

Reviews on the training management literature have emphasised that the training design consists of three essential elements: (1) training content; (2) instructors’ roles; and (3) superiors’ support, which may lead to a high impact on job performance of employees. However, a thorough investigation showed that the relationship between those elements was mediated by training motivation. Therefore, this study aims to confirm the effect of training motivation in military organisations. The measurement was using 412 samples in the Malaysian Army Infantry Corps. Testing the hypotheses using SmartPLS version 3.2.5 revealed these exciting findings: training motivation does act as an important mediating variable between course content, instructors’ roles and superior support in the relationship with job performance in organisational samples. Further, the discussion, implications and conclusion are elaborated.

This article addresses the issue of the accused's abandonment of an attempt as an act of voluntary relinquishment with the intention of never again resuming the crime. The study is a purely conceptual one that prolongs the discussion within the ambit of moral and legal philosophy to address the rationality of abandonment as effective mitigation considering the accused's moral intuition, prospective reasons, and motive. It endeavours to expand views on motive based on the "Renunciation of Criminal Purpose" principle outlined by the "Model Penal Code". The article is intended to offer new perspectives on both decision and sanction by exploring the question of moral and legal philosophical discretion concerning the abandonment of criminal attempts. It concludes that the essence of abandonment is a legal, philosophical problem that objective parameters cannot simplify.

The increasing level of party polarization observed in contemporary Congress has been attributed to a variety of factors. One of the more commonly recurring themes among congressional political observers is that the changes in district boundaries resulting from the redistricting process are the root cause. Using a new data set connecting congressional districts from 1962 to 2002, we offer hands-on testing of these claims. Our results show that despite an overall trend of increased polarization, districts that have undergone significant changes as a result of redistricting are becoming more polarized. Although the effect is relatively simple, it suggests that redistricting is one among other factors that generates party polarization in the House and may help explain the increasing level of polarization in the House relative to the Senate.
