Being a multilingual and multicultural nation, Nigeria is blessed with over 525 languages (Blench, 2014) from four different language families. The sheer number of indigenous languages makes an interesting tapestry! Unfortunately, not much attention has been paid to the study of our indigenous languages, with all the abundant prospects. This paper is a work in progress and a recently funded research project by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) of Nigeria, to rescue language endangerment in Nigeria by redefining the ecology of languages through geospatial technologies; concentrating on those languages located in the southern part of Nigeria, and scalable to other regions of Nigeria and beyond. The main objective of the project is to implement a location-aware infrastructure or framework that functions proactively in real-time, for enhanced language ecology, and precise visualization of the language’s vitality status for each language spoken in the region under study. The project draws a multidisciplinary team consisting of linguists and language experts, computational scientists, and geographical information system (GIS) specialists, to examine our language ecology through practical fieldwork and integrate same into a geospatial framework for the purpose of revitalizing our indigenous languages and making them readily available. This research project is therefore significant as it will not only provide a cooperative solution for advancing our understanding of the spatial pattern that describes language ecology, but also provide an early appraisal of the degree of vitality and endangerment in relation to factors such as social and cultural changes. The immediate impact is the prompt revitalization of our indigenous languages and the development of an effective language policy to strengthen our local heritage.

Planets in Alchemy
Authors: Müller Juliane
Published: March 2022

The Arabic alchemical poetry collection Shudhūr al-dhahab (“The Splinters of Gold”) by Ibn Arfaʿ Raʾs (fl. 12th and/or 13th c.) has engendered a remarkably rich commentary tradition, both in separate works and in manuscript glosses, written and copied from the 12th/13th to the 20th centuries. Of particular interest to the commentators was the first poem of the collection. It was known as al-Kawkabiyya (“The Planetary Poem”) since the seven classical planets are the principal agents in its two opening verses. After providing a survey of all known commentaries on Shudhūr al-dhahab and of the poetry collection’s manuscripts with glosses on the “planetary” verses, this article analyses their explanations, particularly with regard to the interrelations of astrological and alchemical imagery. It also includes an edition of an alchemical poem of unclear authorship, which was probably composed as an imitation of the first poem of Shudhūr al-dhahab by emulating its references to the planets.

Hedonics, Inc
Authors: Blanchard Tommy ,   After Dinner Conversation
Published: March 2022

If the point of life is to be happy, what’s wrong with creating technology to continually maximize your happiness? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Liz and Frank have spent their life building up Hedonic, Inc, a company focused on generating happiness, as measured by “hedons.” More hedons means you are feeling more happiness. Frank’s research has culminated in Rapture, a direct neural stimulation tool that allows people to feel the highest possible levels of hedons, without drugs, and without side effects. Liz’s failed research focus has been on using brain reprogramming to solve chronic depression where hedons are a byproduct. She sees Rapture as a tool for turning humanity into hedon seeking zombies. Frank, however, believes, “hedons are hedons.” Even Liz’s depressed son has switched camps, and now screams when he is removed the Rapture machine. In a last-ditch effort, Liz argues for an alternative.
Brentano and Scholasticism
Authors: Vdovina Galina V. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2022

The article deals with the problem of scholastic sources of Brentano’s concept of intentionality. The subject matter of the discussion is the so-called thesis on intentionality as formulated by Brentano in his 1874 book “Psychology from an Empirical Point of View”. The search for Brentano's specific scholastic sources has been going on for decades, but even today the problem is still relevant. The objectives of the article are, firstly, to identify the main positions on the issue and to reveal the reasons for their failure, and, secondly, to suggest our own hypothesis providing arguments in its favor. On the basis of the existing publications the following positions are briefly formulated: 1) hypothesis of borrowing from Thomas Aquinas; 2) hypothesis of borrowing from Aristotle; 3) hypothesis of borrowing from the 14th century scholastics. The inconsistency of these hypotheses, each on its own grounds, is shown. The first hypothesis proceeds from false assumptions, the second one is obviously reductionist, the third one correctly identifies the points of similarity between Brentano and the scholastics, but underestimates the differences between them. The author’s hypothesis is that the most precise parallel to Brentano’s doctrine of intentionality is found in the early modern scholasticism. It is supported from two sides. First, on the basis of Brentano’s biographical and reading history, arguments are formulated in favor of the validity of this assumption. It is shown that Brentano was able to reach the scholastics of Descartes’ epoch through his reading of the works of German neoscholastics of the mid-nineteenth century. Brentano’s and baroque scholasticism’s main points about intentionality are then formulated: 1) distinction between intentional and physical phenomena as a core of intentional philosophy; 2) intentionality as a property of all, not only intellectual, mental acts; 3) notion of intentional object and its variations; 4) objective being; 5) reality of mental acts and irreality of their contents. The comparison shows that they are similar in both traditions not only substantively, but also functionally.
Intention, Subject of Will, and Social Theory
Authors: Surovtsev Valery A. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2022

The article contains some considerations on K.A. Rodin’s reconstruction of the theory of action in works of later L. Wittgenstein. His apophatic approach to descriptions of will, volition, subject of will is analyzed. This approach is compared with approaches to Husserl’s definition of a transcendental subject. It is argued that the apophatic approach to the description of volition as a foundation of social theory is doubtful.
A review of the challenges and strategies of delivering services of general interest in European rural areas
Authors: Tent Nathalie , Brad Alexandru , Klöden Juliane , Hernández Alistair Adam , Bannert Jörn , Gebauer Alice
Published: March 2022

In many of Europe’s rural regions, sociodemographic changes, the transformation of the labour market, and the advent of digitalisation pose significant challenges in safeguarding services of general interest (SGI). This paper draws on a broad literature review to identify the key challenges and potential adaptation strategies in three SGIs in four European countries. Our analysis explores potentials for redesigning the accessibility of these SGIs, restructuring their human and physical assets, and improving the coordination of their delivery. We argue that in the context of a fading welfare state, there is scope for improving the local coordination of state, private, and civil society actors in delivering SGIs in rural areas.

This article brings together all the local published literature in the field and outlines the implications of this condition, together with recommendations regarding particular areas that require attention in order to prevent and alleviate the disease burden in SA.
COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and missed vaccine roll- out targets: The case for using general practitioners
Authors:   Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa, McQuoid-Mason D J
Published: March 2022

The South African (SA) government’s roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine is behind its target, largely owing to concerns about the sideeffects and the effectiveness of the vaccines, and because they have been developed over a very short time frame. Another factor is a lack of trust in government policies regarding COVID-19 and its running of public health. One survey has indicated that for persons seeking a vaccination, the preferred vaccine site would be general practitioners (GPs). GPs have been used in Australia, the UK and elsewhere. In Australia, with a scattered rural population, 5 600 GPs have been vaccinating over one million patients weekly. Calls have been made by the South African Medical Association, among others, for GPs to be allowed to assist with the government’s roll-out programme. If ~8 000 GPs in SA participated in a properly administered roll-out programme, and each GP were to vaccinate only 10 people a day, this would yield 400 000 vaccinations a week or ~1.6 million a month. The GPs could invite their patients and others to visit their room for a COVID-19 vaccination, as they do with the annual influenza vaccine.

Published: March 2022

AbstractThe achievement of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in the world and in Indonesia is still low. One of the obstacles to EBF is that the mother works. Cooler bag is a familiar media for working mothers to provide breast milk. This research uses modified cooler bags which contain information on how to provide EBF for working mothers, called bagASI. This study aims to determine the effect of bagASI on the EBF knowledge and attitudes of working pregnant women. The research method is Quasi Experimental with Pre Test - Post Test and the number of respondents is 34 working pregnant women. Respondents were divided into 2 groups, namely the intervention group who received education using bagASI and the control group using leaflets. The Paired Sample T-test showed an effect on the level of knowledge and attitudes (p≤0.05) in both two groups. The Independent Sample T-test found that there was a difference in knowledge (p≤0.05) between the intervention and the control group, while in the attitude there was no difference (p≥0.05). Providing education using bagASI can increase the EBF knowledge and attitudes of working pregnant women, so bagASI can be utilized as education tool.AbstrakCapaian pemberian ASI Eksklusif di dunia dan di Indonesia masih rendah. Kendala pemberian ASI Eksklusif di antaranya adalah karena ibu bekerja. Salah satu media yang dikenal ibu bekerja untuk memberikan ASI adalah cooler bag. Penelitian ini menggunakan cooler bag yang didesain dengan penambahan informasi cara pemberian ASI Eksklusif bagi ibu bekerja pada bagian luarnya, disebut bagASI. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh bagASI terhadap pengetahuan dan sikap ibu hamil yang bekerja. Metode penelitian adalah Quasi Experimental dengan Pre Test-Post Test Control Group Design dan jumlah responden sebanyak 34 orang ibu hamil yang bekerja. Responden dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok, yaitu kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol. Kelompok intervensi mendapatkan edukasi menggunakan media bagASI dan kelompok kontrol menggunakan leaflet. Berdasarkan uji Paired Sample T-test menunjukkan pengaruh terhadap tingkat pengetahuan dan sikap (p≤0.05) pada kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol. Berdasarkan uji Independent Sample T-test didapatkan hasil ada perbedaan pengetahuan (p≤0.05) antara kelompok intervensi dengan kelompok kontrol, sedangkan pada sikap tidak terdapat perbedaan antara kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol (p≥0.05). Pemberian edukasi menggunakan bagASI dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan dan sikap ibu hamil sehingga bagASI dapat digunakan sebagai media edukasi.
New Bounds on the Real Polynomial Roots
Authors: Prodanov Emil
Published: March 2022

The presented analysis determines several new bounds on the real roots of the equation $$a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_0=0$$ (with $$a_n>0$$). All proposed new bounds are lower than the Cauchy bound $$\max\left\{1,\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}|a_j/a_n|\right\}$$. Firstly, the Cauchy bound formula is derived by presenting it in a new light – through a recursion. It is shown that this recursion could be exited at earlier stages and, the earlier the recursion is terminated, the lower the resulting root bound will be. Following a separate analysis, it is further demonstrated that a significantly lower root bound can be found if the summation in the Cauchy bound formula is made not over each one of the coefficients $$a_0,a_1,\dots,a_{n-1}$$, but only over the negative ones. The sharpest root bound in this line of analysis is shown to be the larger of $$1$$ and the sum of the absolute values of all negative coefficients of the equation divided by the largest positive coefficient.

Background/Aims: Peritoneal carcinomatosis with malignant ascites is common in patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC). The detection of tumor cells is the gold standard for the diagnosis of malignant ascites; however, it often requires complementary tests because of its low sensitivity. Herein, we measured the levels of tumor markers in the malignant ascites of GC patients (GC-ascites) and benign ascites of liver cirrhosis patients (LC-ascites) to elucidate the diagnostic value of tumor markers in GC-ascites.Materials and Methods: The levels of CEA, cancer antigen 72-4 (CA 72-4), CA 19-9, and CA 125 were measured in 138 GC-ascites and 64 LC-ascites samples obtained from the National Biobank of Korea. We performed receiver operating characteristic curve analysis to determine the optimal cutoff value for each tumor marker.Results: CEA, CA 72-4, and CA 19-9 levels were significantly higher in GC-ascites than in LC-ascites. There was no difference in tumor marker levels between GC-ascites samples irrespective of cytology. CEA, CA 72-4, and CA 19-9 had sensitivities of 85.5%, 79.0%, and 61.6%, respectively, and specificities of 96.8%, 100.0%, and 89.1%, respectively, for distinguishing GC-ascites samples from LC-ascites samples. The diagnostic accuracy was improved by combining two or more tumor markers. The combination of CEA and CA 72-4 showed the highest sensitivity (86.2%) and specificity (100%).Conclusions: Measurement of tumor markers, such as CEA, CA 72-4, and CA 19-9, in ascites samples could help diagnose GC-ascites, and combining two or more tumor markers could further increase the diagnostic yield, even in cytology-negative patients.
A novel hybrid-based approach of snort automatic rule generator and security event correlation (SARG-SEC)
Authors: Jaw Ebrima , Wang Xueming
Published: March 2022

The rapid advanced technological development alongside the Internet with its cutting-edge applications has positively impacted human society in many aspects. Nevertheless, it equally comes with the escalating privacy and critical cybersecurity concerns that can lead to catastrophic consequences, such as overwhelming the current network security frameworks. Consequently, both the industry and academia have been tirelessly harnessing various approaches to design, implement and deploy intrusion detection systems (IDSs) with event correlation frameworks to help mitigate some of these contemporary challenges. There are two common types of IDS: signature and anomaly-based IDS. Signature-based IDS, specifically, Snort works on the concepts of rules. However, the conventional way of creating Snort rules can be very costly and error-prone. Also, the massively generated alerts from heterogeneous anomaly-based IDSs is a significant research challenge yet to be addressed. Therefore, this paper proposed a novel Snort Automatic Rule Generator (SARG) that exploits the network packet contents to automatically generate efficient and reliable Snort rules with less human intervention. Furthermore, we evaluated the effectiveness and reliability of the generated Snort rules, which produced promising results. In addition, this paper proposed a novel Security Event Correlator (SEC) that effectively accepts raw events (alerts) without prior knowledge and produces a much more manageable set of alerts for easy analysis and interpretation. As a result, alleviating the massive false alarm rate (FAR) challenges of existing IDSs. Lastly, we have performed a series of experiments to test the proposed systems. It is evident from the experimental results that SARG-SEC has demonstrated impressive performance and could significantly mitigate the existing challenges of dealing with the vast generated alerts and the labor-intensive creation of Snort rules.
Development of a stock trading system based on a neural network using highly volatile stock price patterns
Authors: Oh Jangmin
Published: March 2022

This paper proposes a pattern-based stock trading system using ANN-based deep learning and utilizing the results to analyze and forecast highly volatile stock price patterns. Three highly volatile price patterns containing at least a record of the price hitting the daily ceiling in the recent trading days are defined. The implications of each pattern are briefly analyzed using chart examples. The training of the neural network was conducted with stock data filtered in three patterns and trading signals were generated using the prediction results of those neural networks. Using data from the KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets, It was found that that the proposed pattern-based trading system can achieve better trading performances than domestic and overseas stock indices. The significance of this study is the development of a stock price prediction model that exceeds the market index to help overcome the continued freezing of interest rates in Korea. Also, the results of this study can help investors who fail to invest in stocks due to the information gap.
Speech To Speech Translation: Challenges and Future
Authors: Dhawan Sandeep
Published: March 2022

The different languages in the world and the various native mother tongues have distinct origins. Speech is the most widely recognized method of articulation, with an average individual talking more than 11000 words each day. Speech can make each other understand actions and thoughts, be it a dialogue, conversation, or even a presentation. The passage of information would be ineffective if the other party did not understand the language of communication. As a result, a system capable of bridging the linguistic divide is required. Speech-to-speech translation is one such system that can be useful in facilitating communication between people who speak different languages. Efforts are constantly taken all around the globe to accomplish this objective and set it up as a regular occurrence to assist everybody. This paper describes a significant international and inter-institutional effort in this direction, highlighting the current challenges being faced as well as the future of the technology of Speech-to speech translation. The developed language-specific technology, parallel corpora, and speech unit (segmental) database are all been described.

The study examined the chemical and functional properties of composite flours based on maize, Bambara groundnut, and mango for possible use as complementary food. Flours were prepared from yellow maize variety, Bambara groundnut and mango pulp and blended in the ratios 100/0/0, 90/5/5, 85/10/5, 75/20/5, 70/25/5 and 65/30/5 labelled as samples A, B, C, D, E and F respectively.

Standard methods were used to evaluate the composite flours and the control for functional properties, and chemical properties. Analysis showed an increase in the moisture content, proteins (19.28% in sample A to 23.81 % in sample F), lipids, carbohydrate. Crude fibre content ranged from 2.97% in Sample F to 1.91% in Sample A. Ash content generally increased from 1,62% in sample A to 2.58% in sample F.

Phosphorus, Calcium and Potassium showed an increasing trend as follows; (154 mg/100 g in sample A to 186.86 mg/100 g in sample F), (392.67 mg/100 gin sample a to 399.94 mg/100 g in sample F), (183.56 mg/100 g in Sample A to 192.02 mg/100 g in Sample F) respectively.

Provitamin A and ascorbate showed significant increase in the composite flours than the control. All anti-nutrient compositions in the samples were within tolerable levels

There was no significant difference in the swelling indices of the different flour blends; the highest water absorption capacities were seen in sample F (1.36 g/ml) while the lowest was seen in the control sample A (1.15 g/ml). Water absorption capacity therefore showed an increasing trend with increasing substitution of maize flour with BG flour and mango powder. Results showed that supplementing Yellow maize flour with Bambara groundnut flour and mango powder considerably improved the protein content of the flour, hence they can find useful application for ogi production.
