Note to self/anybody else it might help: if you have disks with previous dmraid headers (potentially corrupt etc.), you need to remove the dmraid package before grub can find a Windows partition that resides on those disks. This is because the dmraid package is attempting to map the drives to /dev/mapper locations. update-grub/os-prober not detecting Windows 7 was originally published by Martin Paul Eve at Martin Paul Eve on June 02, 2014.

Social insurance in Europe: A comparative legal study
Authors: Dragos Cristian Mihai , Przybytniowski Jaroslaw W.
Published: October 2023

The relevance of the study of social insurance in Europe is conditioned by the fact that social insurance is one of the important areas in the social policy of the state, and the development of this sector provides an effective mechanism for protecting the population, which determines the level of economic stability of the country. The purpose of the study is to conduct a comparative legal analysis of the functioning of social insurance in European countries, which can be carried out due to the methodological approaches used in the paper, revealing both the theoretical and practical components. These methods include the theoretical methodological approach, the formal legal methodological approach, the methods of comparative analysis, deduction, induction, synthesis, etc. As a result, a theoretical aspect was investigated that reveals the concept of “social insurance” and the mechanism of implementation of the sector under study, with the allocation of its inherent features and principles on which its activities are based; the experience of functioning of social insurance in such European states as Germany, Great Britain, Denmark, France, Sweden, and Finland was studied, as a result of which the activities of this sector were considered through the prism of the legal doctrine of each of the states and the experience of conducting social policy. The results obtained allowed conducting a comparative analysis of social insurance in each of the studied countries with the allocation of advantages and disadvantages in each of them, which made it possible to assess the effectiveness of social policy in them and highlight the optimal model of the social state
Social adaptation of syrian refugees in the European Union countries: Psychological aspects of the issue
Authors: Koulish Robert E. , Fouskas Theodoros
Published: October 2023

An increasingly relevant issue for the European Union policies is the constant increase in both irregular migrant, refugee, and legal migrant flows, which has a significant impact on the economic and political situation of these states. Such processes provoke an escalation of conflict within the country between the native population and migrants, which as a result negatively affects their social adaptation and psychological state and leads to a deterioration of the criminal situation in the respective territories and the spread of acts of intolerance. The purpose of the study is to analyse current European Union approaches to refugees, in particular those of Syrian origin, in the context of their social adaptation and psychological development. To achieve this goal, the study uses various scientific and methodological tools that allowed to fully disclose the issue under study and establish its main features. Thus, functional, and systematic methodological approaches were used in the study, along with logical methods of scientific research, such as the method of analysis and synthesis, the method of comparison, the method of deduction, the method of analysis of scientific literature. The main findings obtained from the research are the theoretical and practical foundations of the issue of the social adaptation of Syrian refugees in the European Union. The study has thus covered both the theoretical component, consisting of an interpretation of the basic concepts of the topic under investigation, along with their attributes and characteristics and the practical component, reflecting the dynamics of the increasing number of Syrian refugees, in particular, establishing the main reasons for this displacement and identifying the relevant measures taken by European Union governments to implement the social adaptation of such people. In subsequent developments on this subject, it would be useful to model effective means to support and socially develop refugees in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The practical value of this study lies in its potential to be used both in the development of different kinds of programmes for the social adaptation of refugees, and directly by ordinary citizens to encourage them to participate in voluntary organisations
Demographic Challenges for the Caucasian Race: What Can the Assimilation of Cultures on the European Continent Lead to?
Authors: Yeboah Ata Senior , Carol Sarah , Fathi Atefeh
Published: October 2023

Nowadays, the problem of the disappearance of primitive culture, the primary foundations of people’s self-consciousness, which are lost in conditions that promote the imposition of values, through politicisation, crisis phenomena, economic consequences, during forced migration and the search for more comfortable living conditions, is acute. The process of social modification occurs due to unconventional changes in culture, which acts as the “face” of the identification of nation, changes in the collective consciousness, identity and moral cohesion. The purpose of the study is to define the concept of cultural assimilation, its types and consequences, and identify demographic factors that cause changes in the existence of culture on the European continent. For a comprehensive investigation of this problem, the following methods were used: analysis and synthesis, comparative method, hermeneutical method, and interpretive method. The study results theoretically revealed current demographic problems that make changes in the cultural environment, disclosed possible consequences of assimilation of cultures on the European continent, investigated the differences between assimilation of cultures and cultural diffusion, and determined the nature of culture shock. The features and strength of cultural integration and its relationship with national and cultural autonomy are theoretically analysed, and the historical and modern origins of the mechanism of cultural assimilation on the European continent are revealed. The study aims to identify demographic changes and factors that encourage the assimilation of cultures, reveal the consequences of implementation, and influence the identification of ethnic groups and their position in the world. Theoretically, the presented material serves as a practical information base, which encourages a deeper investigation of the cultural mechanism and the creation of certain measures, the purpose of which is to preserve cultural integrity, as the main source that strengthens the state power and ethnicity of the people

PERTUMBUHAN ARTIFICIAL INTELEGENCE SERTA IMPLIKASINYA TERHADAP HUKUM DAN ETIKA HAM
Authors: Umaroh Abi
Published: October 2023

Lajunya perkembangan zaman tidak dapat disangkal telah mendorong manusia untuk terus berinovasi dalam mengembangkan beragam teknologi, termasuk kecerdasan buatan atau Artificial Intelegence (AI). Sejauh perkembangannya  AI telah membawa dampak positif yang cukup signifikan dalam memudahkan berbagai aspek kehidupan manusia, mulai dari otomatisasi proses bisnis hingga munculnya alat pengenal wajah (face recognition) yang canggih. Namun, dampak positif ini juga disertai dengan adanya potensi dampak negatif yang harus diperhatikan. Persoalan ini memiliki hubungan yang erat dengan Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM). Sebagaimana eksistensi manusia, terutama dalam hal privasi dan keamanan data, menjadi semakin gampang diakses dan sangat berpotensi untuk disalahgunakan. Munculnya tantangan baru dalam dimensi hukum dan HAM menjadi suatu kebutuhan mendesak dalam menghadapi era teknologi AI yang terus berkembang secara pesat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana teknologi AI mampu memengaruhi berbagai aspek HAM, termasuk privasi, kebebasan individu, dan perlakuan non-diskriminasi. Oleh karena itu, sangat penting untuk memastikan bahwa penggunaan teknologi AI seperti face recognition ini dipandu oleh regulasi hukum yang jelas. Prosedur yang adil, dan kebijakan pemerintah yang sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip HAM merupakan kunci untuk menjaga keseimbangan antara inovasi teknologi dan perlindungan terhadak hak-hak setiap individu.

La exactitud fue expresada como porcentaje de desviación. Se encontraron diferencias estadisticas significativas entre con y sin aplicación de adhesivo respecto al modelo maestro, para la silicona de adición en las medidas Ma y Me, mientras que para la silicona por condensación solo en la medida Ma.
Sustaining Quality Coaching of Pre- and In-Service Teachers During a Teacher Shortage
Authors: Garcia Beth , Clifton Amy
Published: October 2023

During teacher shortages, many school districts petitioned the Texas Education Agency for waivers to hire classroom teachers who are not fully certified. However, the quality of teachers must be considered during this time. This study considers the Texas Instructional Leadership (TIL) coaching model not only to coach pre-service teachers during preparation in Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) but also using this model to support personnel hired without certification collaborating with EPPs to recruit potential candidates into programs. This article will consider the impact and sustainability of implementing the TIL coaching model in one EPP as an exemplar to ensure teacher quality.

Facebook advertisement for food-related information is widespread on social media platforms. However, the effectiveness of this food advertisement in reaching out to the target consumers needs to get more attention. This study fills the gaps by determining the factors affecting consumer attitudes towards food advertisements on Facebook, their intentions to receive them, and their behavioural response. A research model was developed using the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and the Advertising Value Model. Specifically, this study investigates the relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, credibility, entertainment, informativeness, irritation, personalisation, and privacy concern attitudes towards food advertisements. This study deployed an online questionnaire to collect data from 206 Facebook users. Results show that perceived usefulness, entertainment, informativeness, irritation, and privacy concern significantly affect consumers’ attitudes, as well as the positive effect on consumers’ attitudes towards intention and behavioural response. The outcomes of this study may cast novel insight into the variables that influence consumer attitudes and responses to Facebook food advertisements and provides valuable knowledge for food marketers to create superior advertising campaigns on social media platforms.

Luxury cosmetics brands are growing in Malaysia, especially among urban women. In this age, influencer marketing plays a significant role as many luxury cosmetic brands are partnering with social media influencers or key opinion leaders (KOLs) to increase their brand credibility and consumers’ desire. Despite this, the effectiveness of influencer marketing for luxury brands has resulted in mixed findings. As such, this study applies social influence theory to investigate the role of social media influencers (SMI), specifically on the relationships between trustworthiness and attractiveness towards the consumers’ attitude and purchase intention of luxury cosmetic brands. Using a quantitative survey of 240 Malaysian urban women collected from two major shopping malls, the data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique. Interestingly, the result of this study confirms that the attractiveness of the SMI was more critical than trustworthiness. Meanwhile, the attitude significantly mediated between attractiveness and their intention to purchase luxury cosmetic brands. This study also presents the implications and recommendations for future research. This study offers a novel perspective and gives insights to marketers of luxury cosmetic brands, especially on the suitability of selecting SMI to attract its target market.

Parents undertake the heaviest responsibility ever to prepare children for a brighter future. The study identified predictors towards parental contribution included parental characteristics, child upbringing, parental purchasing behaviour and financial strain. The moderating role of household income also was addressed. The study surveyed 2,182 respondents from low-income households with children under six years old and found that parental contributions towards their children’s upbringing were significantly influenced by household income. Parental characteristics were detected as important drivers of parental contribution; child upbringing and parental purchasing behaviour influence parental contribution positively, but the negative effect of financial strain was revealed. On the other hand, the upbringing of the children and parental contribution made by parents are significant in deciding the household income. The study highlights that parental contributions play a crucial role in shaping children’s character and development. Appropriate investments in children are essential to ensure they become decent human beings. Furthermore, the study underlines the practical implications for parents, government, and non-government organizations regarding investment in children. It is suggested that benefits, such as allowances provided by the Department of Social Welfare, should be allocated to needy families so that parents can invest in their children’s future. This study emphasizes the importance of investing in children from low-income households to ensure a brighter future, and government and non-government organizations must support these families.

Published: October 2023

Majority of dyes are toxic to all the living organisms and inherently resistant to microbial degradation. Hence, decolorization and degradation of textile dye methyl red were evaluated using isolated bacterial strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). Methyl red dye decolourization by P. aeruginosa with respect to various parameters was optimized. Data shows that maximum possible decolorization was seen at 50 ppm dye concentration, 1400 mg/l glucose concentration, 700 mg/l sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration, pH 9, temperature 38 °C, 1000 mg/l urea concentration P. aeruginosa AM-1 strain. The highest percent (91.1%) of bioremediation was achieved at 40 ppm dye concentration in Allium cepa test. These findings suggest P. aeruginosa strain (AM-1) has the potential to be used in the biological treatment of highly toxic dye which is main constituent of dyeing mill effluents due to its high decolorization activity with simple conditions. Strain AW-1 strain also has potential to bioremediate other wastewater containing methyl red dye.

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has profoundly affected developing countries like India. This retrospective cross-sectional analysis investigated epidemiological, clinical characteristics, treatment strategies, and outcomes for hospitalized COVID-19 patients during the Massive SARS-CoV-2 Wave in India. Among 233 patients, the median age was 47.33 years, mostly male. Hospital stays averaged 8.4 days. Common symptoms include fever (88.41%), dry cough (56.2%), myalgia (44.20%), and shortness of breath (22.8%). The most common comorbidities were diabetes mellitus (52%) and hypertension (47.2%). Elevated biomarkers include D-dimer (24.4%), CRP (32.1%), ferritin (26.60%), and others. Prescription analysis revealed that antibiotics (42.6%), Antivirals (37%), anthelmintics (20.30%), vitamins and nutritional supplements (20.71%) and glucocorticoids (12.8%) were the most commonly prescribed. Oxygen therapy was needed by 19.31% of patients in the moderate and severe categories within 24 hours of admission. The mortality rate was 8.58%. The surge led to increased hospitalizations and mortality, particularly among young adults. Diabetes and hypertension were correlated with mortality. Irregular use of drugs lacking evidence, like antibiotics and anthelmintics, vitamins and nutritional supplements, was observed in COVID-19 management. This study underscores the impact of the pandemic in India and highlights the need for evidence-based treatments.

Authors:   Nordregio, Guðmundsdóttir Hjördís , Brynteson Maja , Jessen Sigrid
Published: October 2023

Where do young people wish to settle down, and why? Recent data show a high level of internal migration among young adults in the Nordic region, with a striking differences in migration intensities between people in their 20s compared to people in their 30s. Exploring current trends in mobility is vital for regional integration and prosperity, planning provisions and projections. The attraction of young individuals from urban areas and university towns to non-metropolitan regions is an important source of economic growth for many regions.  The review of young people's mobility behaviour in the early career stage in the Nordic countries highlights that migration decisions are influenced by a set of various push and pull factors, working simultaneously. It is important to understand the background of the mover, where the behavior of the mover is impacted by educational background and industrial specialisation, geographical origin, gender, income-level and civic status.  Learning more about current migration drivers and migration aspirations of the early career cohorts in the Nordic countries will help policymakers to shape the future of Nordic labour markets and better prepare the future labour supply and demands in rural areas. This working paper present the main findings from previous studies on migration drivers and will serve as a baseline for the data collection on migration history and migration aspirations of young people in the Nordic countries.

Authors: Sleem Ahmed
Published: October 2023

The growing global demand for sustainable agriculture has led to increased interest in leveraging machine intelligence to address critical challenges in modern farming practices. This paper introduces an innovative approach for plant leaf disease recognition in smart agriculture using the Vision Transformer (ViT) model. The proposed framework combines the power of self-attention mechanisms and transformer-based architectures to capture intricate relationships between image patches, enabling accurate and efficient disease identification. Leveraging the widely recognized PlantVillage dataset as a case study, our experiments demonstrate the efficacy of the ViT model in achieving superior disease recognition performance. The results highlight the model's ability to generalize across diverse crops and diseases, making it a promising tool for empowering farmers with timely disease detection and management. Additionally, the paper emphasizes inclusivity, ensuring the accessibility and effectiveness of the approach for farmers across diverse regions, backgrounds, and resources. Through this work, we contribute to the advancement of smart farming practices and pave the way for sustainable agriculture in the era of machine intelligence
